here’s one of those fee-speech things you hate to see.<\/p>\n

The Palestinian flag was raised at city-owned Eaton Plaza in downtown Fresno on Friday. The ceremony came nearly two months after the raising of the Israeli flag in the same location, and followed weeks of complaints from community members who said the city was valuing the lives of Israelis over Palestinians in the Gaza conflict.\u00a0\u00a0 GVWire<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There has been an Israeli flag flying there for two months.<\/p>\n

Fresno City Councilmember Miguel Arias is who sponsored this.<\/p>\n

Now, my first primal reaction was basic – someone needs to rip that rag down… but on reflection\u00a0 I think that is wrong. One of those ugly facets about freedom of speech is that sometimes you won’t agree with what someone say, but you have to let them say it. You don’t have to agree, you don’t have to allow them to push their opinion as the law of the land (see, I even worked in a politically correct pronoun!) but ya gotta let them say it. The consequences of their speech… well, I would be happy if Mr. Arias has difficulty in re-election, but that’s up to Fresno-ites, I guess. Fresnoans?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, some sane speech from a surprising source. Kemi Badenoch of the UK says:<\/p>\n

“We are seeing, I would say, almost an epidemic of gay children being told they are trans and being sent on a medical path of irreversible decisions, which they later regret,” he declared in the House of Commons.<\/p>\n

The minister opposes directors and teachers allowing their pupils to adopt a form of pronoun other than their biological gender. And she denounces that giving the green light to social transition in the school sphere “is not a neutral act” since it will have “formative effects on the future development of the child.”<\/p>\n

Badenoch would only admit initiatives in support of children who do not identify with their biological sex in extreme cases and with clinical endorsement.\u00a0 Daily News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now for the surprising part to me: she is the UK Minister of Women and Equalities. Even with a Tory (conservative. Labour are the main liberals) administration,\u00a0 this is an office normally occupied by someone strongly – or rabidly – supporting women’s and LGBTQ groups. Not, apparently, the pedophiles and grade-school transitioning faction.<\/p>\n

The 9th Circuit court will rule soon on whether FBI agents stole $86 million dollars from taxpayers.<\/p>\n

Seems the Feebies convinced a judge to give them a search warrant for a bank in Los Angeles in 2021. They then went on to (legally according to District Judge Klausner in 2022) not just to inventory the safety deposit\u00a0 boxes (which they are authorized to do) but SEIZED $86,000,000 in cash, jewelry, heirlooms, etc. from the owners, despite their neither being targets of the investigation nor charged even today with any crimes in connection with it.<\/p>\n

Following a raid in March 2021, federal agents spent days rifling through the personal belongings stored in nearly 1,400 safe deposit boxes seized from a vault in Beverly Hills, California.<\/p>\n

The agents were tasked with cataloging the contents of the boxes, but they also seized piles of valuables\u2014gold coins, luxury watches, family heirlooms, and stacks of cash\u2014from people who had not been charged with any crimes.<\/p>\n

And they did that despite being told, by the warrant authorizing the raid, that the contents of the safe deposit boxes were off-limits.\u00a0 Reason<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One would think that last would have left the FBI on thin ice. Not, apparently, in this administration. So it’s up to the 9th Circuit to make it right to the folks who own those 1400 boxes. If you know the 9th….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
