Nancy Pelosi delivered Wednesday on her promise to introduce the so-called Equality Act, which would elevate sexual orientation and gender identity to protected classes in federal anti-discrimination law.
Although that may sound nice in theory, in practice sexual orientation and gender identity policies at the state and local level have caused profound harms to Americans from all walks of life.
How might a sexual orientation and gender identity law on the federal level, as introduced in the House and Senate, affect you and your community? Here are seven ways:

Soooo petty!-----Google Buried True Meaning of Covfefe [I Will Stand Up] Once President Trump Tweeted It!!!

UNREAL: Google Buried True Meaning of Covfefe [I Will Stand Up] Once President Trump Tweeted It!!!
"President Trump tweeted “Covfefe” and nobody knew what he meant.
If you googled the word you couldn’t find it.
Now we know that the reason you couldn’t find it is because Google had it erased from its social platform!
Leaked documents show that Google raced to erase the meaning of the Arabic work “Covfefe” as soon as the President tweeted Google didn’t want anyone to know that the word “Covfefe” meant “I will stand up” and rather defrauded the President and the American people of the truth..."

UN flies in 4,000 people to Salt Lake to complain about fossil fuels | CFACT

UN flies in 5,000 people to Salt Lake to complain about fossil fuels | CFACT
"How does the United Nations convince people that they are super serious in their outrage about fossil fuels? 
How about flying 4,000 people from all over the world in fossil-fueled jet airplanes to isolated Salt Lake City to whine about it? 
Sounds like a good plan to the United Nations bureaucracy, which is sponsoring a sustainability and climate change conference this week in Salt Lake City. 
...There is no compelling agenda, no compelling actions items, and no expected meaningful outcome from the conference. 
It is simply an opportunity for leftist global activists to get together and express outrage about economic freedom and the existential global climate disruption that is the greatest crisis humanity has ever faced – surpassing Genghis Khan, Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, the Black Plague, smallpox, AIDS, and the threat of nuclear war combined..."

90 Hours A Week, 52 Weeks A Year: Detroit Cop Claims 2,617 Overtime Hours – Michigan Capitol Confidential
"The Detroit Police Department said it has started an investigation into a police officer who reported having 2,617.2 hours of overtime in fiscal year 2018. 
That much overtime, as revealed in city records, translates into an average of 90.3 hours worked every week of the year, and it includes overtime and regular shifts.

San Francisco’s New PC Terms For Criminals Met With Mockery | Daily Wire

San Francisco’s New PC Terms For Criminals Met With Mockery | Daily Wire:

Image result for flickr commons images San Fanscisco BridgeIn a non-binding resolution passed last month and which has gained the support of the district attorney, the city presents the grim statistic that now one-fifth, one out of every five, residents of the city has a criminal record. In response to this alarming criminal reality, the board has introduced its new "person first" terminology, in which old terms the city fears might encourage "negative predispositions" and "unfounded assumptions" have been swapped out for more positive and "stigma"-free language.
In the resolution, the city spells out its new terms for the old,"attitudinal barrier"-creating phrases: A "convicted felon" or "convict" or "felon" that has been released from jail should now be called a "formerly incarcerated person," or
