As Chicago’s religious leaders demand his resignation, Rahm Emanuel promotes faith and family

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on August 19, 2018 32 Comments

Faith and family are two pillars of American culture that Democrats have worked for decades to undermine, so imagine my surprise when I read Obama's former White House Chief of Staff and current Mayor of Chicago Rahm Emanuel making an argument for stronger faith and family values. The left, of course, is livid and think he's "blaming the victims" of the rampant violence that many parts of Chicago experience on a daily basis. Perhaps they needn't be, however, as the cynic in me wonders if this isn't a geared response to the massive protests organized by pastors from Chicago's South and West sides.

#MyReligionIsNotYourCostume: Met Gala 2018 And Cultural Appropriation

Posted by Leslie Eastman on May 12, 2018 16 Comments

Welcome to Legal Insurection's First Annual Cultural Appreciation Day. This day was inspired by the brave response of 18-year old Keziah Daum to the social media storm she sparked by wearing a gorgeous Chinese cheongsam dress for some selfies before her prom.
