Gonna give the lead-off to former President Trump.<\/p>\n

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday welcomed the idea that he’d be supported by the Black Lives Matter movement, a group that he’s treated as a public enemy for years.<\/p>\n

He was responding to an interview that Maryland activist Mark Fisher gave to “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday, during which Fisher expressed support for Trump and condemned the Democrat party.<\/p>\n

Fisher was introduced by Fox as a co-founder of Black Lives Matter Rhode Island.<\/p>\n

“Personally I love the man. I mean,” said Fisher. “How could you not like a real man? How could you not relate to someone like that?”<\/p>\n

Trump then wrote on TruthSocial that he had spoken with Fisher, whom he called a “great guy.”<\/p>\n

“Very honored to have his and BLM’s support,” Trump said…\u00a0 Business Insider<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Praise him and he loves you, no matter what kind of bottom feeder you may be.\u00a0 But you all already know I am, to put it mildly, not a fan.<\/p>\n

Washington, DC (meaning the city, not the Fed government) recently made news for a maintenance project – repainting a BLM mural.<\/p>\n

The refurbishment of the infamous mural, which Democrat Mayor\u00a0Muriel Bowser initially painted in June 2020 as BLM protests were underway in the city and across the country, appears to have run taxpayers $271,231, including $217,680 in labor costs and $53,551 in paint supplies, according to documents obtained by Judicial Watch from D.C.’s Department of Transportation\u00a0 Fox News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Guess that support money doesn’t grow on trees, huh…<\/p>\n

And in case you missed it, Pope Francis had the Vatican announce that it’s OK to be transgender and be baptised, a godparent, or an official witness at a wedding.<\/p>\n

Transgender people can be baptised into the Catholic Church and be godparents and witnesses at weddings, Pope Francis has said, putting himself on a collision course with US bishops.<\/p>\n

The Vatican decreed that a transgender person could be baptised as long as there was \u201cno risk of causing a public scandal or disorientation among the faithful\u201d.\u00a0 Telegraph<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He already fired a conservative Texas bishop, and now seems bent on ticking off quite a few conservative Catholics. Might be interesting to follow.<\/p>\n

Thought some of our folks were oversensitive? Wang Gang, a Chinese celebrity chef, has had to apologize for making a how-to egg-fried rice video.<\/p>\n

\n

Angry nationalists accused Wang of using the video to mock the death of Mao Zedong\u2019s eldest son, Mao Anying, who was killed in an American air strike during the Korean War on November 25, 1950.<\/p>\n

Wang\u2019s video was solely about making egg fried rice, but for some Chinese nationalists, any mention of the dish around the anniversary of Mao Anying\u2019s death or birthday on October 24 amounts to a deliberate act of insult and mockery.<\/p>\n

The controversial account has it that Mao Anying, an officer in the People\u2019s Liberation Army, disobeyed orders to take shelter during the air raid. Instead, the hungry young man fired up a stove to make egg fried rice, which sent smoke into the air and gave away his position to enemy jets.<\/p>\n

In 2021, a Weibo user in the southern city of Nanchang was detained by police for 10 days for commenting in a post that \u201cthe greatest achievement of the Korean War is egg fried rice.\u201d\u00a0 CNN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The rationale – the egg-fried rice prevented China from becoming a hereditary dictatorship a la the Kims of North Korea. This is not Wang’s first transgression, he did a video on Yangzhou Fried rice a month earlier. And you thought we had a monopoly on the easily offended…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
