Things that make you say huh?

John Kerry, John McCain, and Bob Kerrey.


Nearly half a century ago, when we were serving in Vietnam, we would never have imagined that our country would one day work with the government in Hanoi to help save the Mekong River Delta by helping create an initiative to manage its ecosystem and cope with the effects of climate change. We could never have imagined that our two countries would be partners in a landmark trade agreement, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which is intended to raise labor and environmental standards while expanding prosperity in our country and all along the Pacific Rim.


It would have been even harder to imagine that the United States and Vietnam would be cooperating on security issues. And yet the United States has helped establish a new training center for People’s Army of Vietnam on the outskirts of Hanoi, where young Vietnamese soldiers will prepare for service in United Nations-sponsored peacekeeping missions.


What’s so hard to imagine? It happened with Germany and Japan long before Vietnam came along. Just 3 old farts patting themselves on the back for something that was inevitable.

Painfully illustrating this point is the Veterans' Affairs own secretary, Robert McDonald, who on Monday invoked a most bizarre justification for the VA's inordinately long wait-times for medical care:


"When you go to Disney, do they measure the number of hours you wait in line?" McDonald asked rhetorically. "Or what's important? What's important is, what's your satisfaction with the experience?"


Not if you die while waiting in the queue.

Oy vey!


Residents of New York City can now select from among 31 different gender identities, and businesses that don’t respect and accommodate an individual’s chosen gender identity risk incurring six-figure fines under rules implemented by the city’s Commission on Human Rights.


The list of identities includes options such as “gender bender,” “two spirit,” “third sex,” “androgynous,” “gender gifted,” and “pangender.”


However the city does not provide a guide to or definitions of the gender identities.

"Human Rights"

More fabricated leftist bullshit nobody wants or needs.

Saw him on either CNBC or CNN today. My first thought was, "Wow, I'll bet Dave hates this guy!"

Didn't have to wait long for the standard "if I offended anyone" apology.

“At VA we take our mission of caring for those who ‘shall have borne the battle’ very seriously; we have the best and most noble mission in government," McDonald said in the statement, released a day after the remarks.

"If my comments Monday led any Veterans to believe that I, or the dedicated workforce I am privileged to lead, don't take that noble mission seriously, I deeply regret that. Nothing could be further from the truth.”

Transgender Teacher Gets $60k After Co-Workers Won’t Call Her ‘They’

∧​

A “transmasculine” teacher at an Oregon elementary school has been awarded $60,000 by her school district as compensation for harassment she claims to have suffered on the job, including being referred to by the wrong pronoun.

According to The Oregonian, Leo Soell was born a woman, but now prefers to identify as “transmasculine” and “genderqueer,” meaning she does not consider herself to be male or female. After getting breast cancer in late 2014, she had her breasts amputated to create a more masculine appearance and changed her name to Leo. Once she returned from medical school in May, 2015, Soell was fully public with her gender-neutral identity.

Once she returned to work, Soell claims she fell victim to relentless harassment from her co-workers. She says employees persisted in calling her hurtful terms like “Miss Soell,” “lady,” and “she.” If a student asked Soell’s sex, she says she was ordered to reply it was a private matter not suitable for discussion at school.Some teachers were even worse, Soell said. She claimed one teacher screamed at her in the hallway that her gender choice was offensive to God, and she said teachers conspired to use the school’s only gender-neutral bathroom so Soell would have to wait a half-hour or more to use it.

The school conducted an internal investigation after Soell complained, but found no proof of harassment.

Eventually, Soell was able to cut a deal with the school to have her referred to by her preferred pronoun, “they,” but Soell said the harassment didn’t stop, so she finally hired an attorney and prepared to file an official complaint.

Oregon is a very friendly state for individuals who claim they have suffered discrimination based on gender identity. The state’s labor commissioner, Brad Avakian, forced a bakery to pay $135,000 to a lesbian couple they wouldn’t bake a cake for, and he has also compelled a bar owner to pay a whopping $400,000 to a group of transgender customers he tried to ban from his bar.

Eager to avoid meeting a similar fate, district officials agreed to pay Soell $60,000 in compensation for her emotional distress, and they also agreed to adopt a whole battery of new policies to make the district more transgender-friendly. Among other things, the new policy will require all teachers to refer to their co-workers by their preferred names and pronouns, and it will also ensure transgender employees and students have their bathroom needs met. Teachers who refuse to comply with the pronoun command may be fired, the school district warns.

Among many. But seriously if you take a job at least try to be competent. If he were in the private sector he would have been replaced long ago. His attitude is I was appointed so I know what I’m doing and I won’t be fired even if I suck at it.
So kiss my bureaucratic ass.

He/she, they, it must have gotten into collage this way.

That is not a man or a woman, and it's obvious. And because she is neither a man or a woman that means this person is doomed to a very difficult life. And anyone who does not feel at least some empathy knowing she will struggle is lacking in humanity. I hope the next transgender that gets harrassed is awarded 6HUNDREDthousand instead of 60.

No, no, Dave...it's "THEY."

House Speaker Paul Ryan is ruling out making any cuts to Muslim immigration.


In an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News, Ryan declared that considering an applicant’s religion would not be “appropriate” and would be fundamentally un-American— insisting “that’s not who we are.”


Since when are we Europe? And why would we want to be?

Nice try Joe. Joe who believes in individual rights (unless you don't conform to his values). Straight up bullying is acceptable because a person has a gender disorder. Good thing the he-she doesn't dress like George Washington. Couldn't imagine the abuse then.

 

[ScottL]

But you’d fuck it. Right?

Unfortunately this person is unfuckable. So according to Joe it's acceptable to torture them and verbally abuse them for it.

Kudos to those who stand up to bullies.


If I looked like that I wonder if I'd even have the courage to stand in front of a classroom full of students.

What would anyone in this forum do if they were born with a face like that? Can't even imagine the body. God help them all. Especially with bullies like Joe around.
