A Fox News headline read: “Black leaders express ‘profound indignation’ over Dem leaders’ failure to ‘protect’ Maxine Waters.” I submit that using “leader” to describe these people is a perverse form of oxymoron. Leaders wouldn’t support nor sit stoically silent, while the progressive’s black-baby-killing industry is responsible for the murder of over 17.3 million black children. Put another way, so-called “crayon-color” leaders don’t sit silent while black mothers at the behest and monetary enrichment of Planned Parenthood have murdered 45 percent of the entire black demographic.

A gay rights group has filed discrimination charges against Romania's TAROM airline after the company allegedly excluded gays from a Valentine's day discount offer for lovers. The state-owned firm offered travel discounts during February to couples travelling together, but the offer excluded gays, said Florin Buhuceanu, from Accept, Romania's main gay rights group. Mr Buhuceanu said he tried to purchase tickets for himself and his partner for a two-for-one offer, but was told that people of the same sex did not qualify. He said his organisation filed charges against TAROM with Romania's anti-discrimination board which would discuss the case today....
