The Tumultuous Effect of the LGBT Agenda on One Young Mind
[AMERICANTHINKER] At first I kind of felt sorry for him, because his mental instability is our fault as a society. We allowed this to happen. We said it was all okay, and it wasn't.

For instance, my city – his city – boasts a thriving drag culture that administrators have proudly worked to make "mainstream." A recent newspaper article reported that drag is the ultimate "anti-establishment" thing to do. Local groups gushed that it is now embraced by the heterosexual community as an "accepted art form" and that everyone is scrambling for a spot in the Miss Drag 2018 pageant. Between that and the complicated but super-popular lesbian, gay, transgender, queer, intersexual, and asexual agenda, it's a wonder we don't find our kids wandering naked, dazed and confused, down the middle of our streets.

On any given day, this poor boy doesn't know what sex he is, how to dress in the morning, what his name is. He's holding down a job that's probably the only static thing in his life. One day, he might just become so overwhelmed with the chaos that he hangs himself from the highest tree...and society will blame people like me for not coddling him enough instead of blaming the culture that fried his brain.

As I drove off, I realized I was watching a pouty snowflake begin to melt. I thought of how much energy he must waste thinking of himself every day. He had been trained to be the center of his own universe, and it was with himself that all his empathy and sympathy lay.

The LGBT agenda is a large entity with wide-ranging implications in religion and politics – but watching its singularly tumultuous effect on the mind of one young man has been truly heartbreaking.

Economy
More Crumbs: McDonald's Raises Worker Tuition Aid Citing GOP Tax Bill
[Townhall] McDonald's announced Thursday that it is expanding its "Archways to Opportunity" education benefits program for its workers, tripling the amount some employees qualify for each year for college tuition. The company will allocate $150 million to the global program over five years.

According to a statement from McDonald’s, there will also be a change in eligibility rules for the program which will allow 400,000 U.S. restaurant employees accessibility to the program.

The tuition assistance for McDonald’s crew members will be raised from $700 to $2,500 per year and will go up from $1,050 to $3,000 for restaurant managers.

The company explains that the expansion of their program was "accelerated by changes in the U.S. tax law."

#1  Sounds like more white privilege* to me.


*IMO black kids who work at McDonald's absorbing whitey world view - you know hard work, self-reliance, etc..

#2  I don't see a lot of Mickey's help using the 'benefit'. Seems like a good way to tax shield revenue.

#3  Public Relations Stunt. Still, if it helps one (1) teenager to pay for an education then isn't it better than giving the money to some 'fad' astroturf charity or criminal protest group like the Sea Shepherds?

Wilbur Ross Keeps Winning for Trump's Economic Nationalist Agenda
[Breitbart] Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross has proven himself to be one of President Trump’s greatest allies in the quest for economic nationalism with his defiance of the Washington, D.C., political establishment in deciding to add the citizenship question to the 2020 Census.
Balding old white men. What can they possibly know ?
Ross’s Commerce Department announced this week that he would mandate that the 2020 Census ask respondents whether or not they are American citizens in order to gather more accurate data on the U.S. population and to better enforce the Voting Rights Act.

Since 1950, the citizenship question has not been asked on the full Census, leaving the nation without an exact estimate of how many citizens are in the country and how many noncitizens and illegal aliens are in the country.

On Friday, a group of panelists on the Census Scientific Advisory Committee wrote to the Census Bureau’s Acting Director, Ron Jarmin, to claim that the citizenship question would depress Census response rates.

#1  ....claim that the citizenship question would depress Census response rates by non-citizens.

Self adjusting the subsequent apportionment.

#2  Since 1950, the citizenship question has not been asked on the full Census, leaving the nation without an exact estimate of how many citizens are in the country and how many noncitizens and illegal aliens are in the country.

In a country driven by polls and statistics, a number long overdue.

#3  We keep hearing the old estimate that there are 12 million illegal aliens in the country. What happens when they find out it's more like 50 million? But then, will the census workers have any effective and efficient way to confirm that people who claim to be citizens really are?

#4  What if you found out that you're actually a minority? :-)

#5  ...men have found that out on campus. Nothing happens other than more policies telling you to leave.
