Leftists Go After Van Jones for Working With Trump Admin on Police Reform

Posted by Mary Chastain on June 29, 2020 13 Comments

I don't like Van Jones's politics, but I respect him for crossing the line when needed and saying the things that everyone needs to hear. The left first went after him when he dared to say that blacks need to worry more about the "white liberal Hillary Clinton supporter." Now they're attacking for having the nerve to work with President Donald Trump's administration on police reform.

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on June 28, 2020 95 Comments

Apparently the left believes that the word "master" has only one meaning and is never / was never used in any other way in the history of the world. Sigh. I am really just over the crazy, but here we are, now lefties are changing the names of "master bedrooms" and "master sommeliers" and who knows what's next? Master's degrees? MCs at events and in bands? Masterpiece? Master at Arms? Chess master?

Apparently, the lily white left is so desperate to prove it's not racist and that it's well and truly woke, the wokiest!, that it's hunting for things to rename in the name of looking like they care about anything remotely related to black people. Like a two-runway airport no one's ever heard of named for an actor the majority of the rioter youth have probably never heard of.
