School board member suing because of a book. A book about a Black, queer, non-binary teen.

The four copies of "All Boys Aren't Blue" that were available at two high schools were removed from circulation as well as a copy that had been purchased for a middle school campus, pending the outcome of a review process, said Jason Wheeler, a spokesman for the district.



Let's go!!!

As always, people like kiid LOVE cancel culture. Provided they get to do the canceling.

The UN calls Elon Musk's bluff.

Will he follow through or will he find an excuse to not have to do so?

I would have no intention at all of cancelling this author.  I am sure he helps thousands.

The book banning,  when it reaches the extremes of people proposing actual book burnings, will play into the hands of Democrats. 

As extremists isolate themselves into their fringes,  cooler heads can point out that having a book in the library does not mean your child is forced to read it.   Many places already have religious exemptions for families where books like ABAB do get on a class reading list.   If your religious sect thinks B are only B, then you can opt out.

In olden days the extremists on the left were literal bomb throwers with big profiles.

Who are they today?

The extremists on the right include elected officials.

So just where is the center?

Oh those polls!





Support for gun control has hit its lowest rating since 2014 in a Gallup poll, with just 52 percent of Americans saying they support stricter gun control measures, according to the new survey.

Gallup said the decline was largely attributable to falling support from Republicans.

GOP support for more gun control fell by 14 percentage points to 22 percent, which is the lowest percentage on the question on record for Republicans, reports Gallup.


Gallup results show that 35 percent of American adults believe that current firearm laws should be kept as is and that 11 percent of Americans prefer less strict gun control measures.

A record of 78 percent of Americans favored stricter gun control legislation in 1990, when Gallup began conducting polls on gun control laws while the national
 crime was at a high point.

However, as recently as three years ago, support for gun control was at 67 percent, which Gallup records as the highest rate of support since 1993. These high numbers came following the Parkland, Fla., school shooting.

The 15 per cent drop in the last year is a likely result of the MSM labeling riots as peaceful protests and the noise of the chattering class to defund police departments. 
Just a thought.

Oh, those Courts!




A federal judge on Monday issued a nationwide injunction on the Joe Biden executive order to halt oil and gas operations on all federal lands in the name of fighting so-called climate change.

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry led the lawsuit joined by 12 other states and reacted to the decision by calling it good for America.

Catanzara has often clashed publicly with Mayor Lori Lightfoot. He faced harsh criticism earlier this year for initially downplaying the violence during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S Capitol and more recently comparing the city employee vaccine mandate to Nazi Germany.

The left is too busy whining about how unfair life is to actually accomplish anything.

The right has gone off the rails.

The center is there, but no one listens to them as the left and the right are too busy screaming at each other, and the center can't be heard over such a din of iniquity. (That one's for you, Barton!)

BTW, speaking of accomplishments, Lawrence, you have yet to post the ones you found for the Squad, as you've been asked several times to do.

Stuck on that one?

There are a lot of important issues for the 3 leaders to discuss. We need to have a special relationship with our good neighbors.

Salute,

Tony V.

Fuck that. Two cars and a shotgun.

That sets the scene

Next?

THREE shotgun blasts.
