by Shifra on November 12, 2017Because: Diversity! Sensitivity! Or something. Via NY Post. Stand clear of gender designations, please! The MTA is taking political correctness to new heights — with a directive to all subway personnel to no longer address riders as “Ladies and gentleman.” A bulletin was sent out six days ago to all NYC Transit staff telling them to immediately replace that salutation in their announcements with a list of acceptable words like passengers, riders or everyone…. The bulletin warns workers that line managers and train service supervisors will be monitoring them to make sure they don’t slip and use the verboten phrase…. The “ladies and gentleman” greeting hasn’t been completely scrubbed from the entire system just yet. At the 6th Avenue platform...

by Tammy on November 9, 2017First, moonbats move to remove the memorial for George Washington at his church and now this. President Trump was right about where this nonsense leads if we allow it.

California Can Now Jail People For Misusing Gender Pronouns
by Tammy on October 6, 2017This isn’t California losing its mind; this is California faithfully implementing the madness of liberalism, including criminalizing the most basic aspects of speech. I’m all for public discussions about how we address each other, but criminalizing not doing something in a certain way is gobsmacking. Via Daily Caller. California can now start jailing people that refuse to use the preferred gender pronouns of nursing home residents after Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown signed the bill Thursday. The law’s effect is limited to nursing homes and other long-term care facilities, but mandates that those who “willfully and repeatedly” refuse “to use a transgender resident’s preferred name or pronouns” can be slapped with a $1,000 fine and up to one year in prison,...

NYT Op-Ed: Asian Salad is ‘Racist’
by Shifra on May 1, 2017No, this is not from ‘The Onion.” And I don’t think Asian salad actually has onions in it, but, yep, it’s racist. Via Free Beacon. A New York Times op-ed published Thursday night denounced the existence of Asian salad and called on restaurants to remove the “racist” dish from their menus. “Why Is Asian Salad Still on the Menu?” asked Bonnie Tsui, complaining that the common offering was “something created in the name of Asians by non-Asians [and] has become a touchstone for non-Asians.” The impetus for the piece was when Tsui came across an “Asian Emperor Salad” on the menu at a San Francisco bar…. Tsui admits that other cultures–like the Greeks–have a salad named after them. “And yet...

Public University’s ‘Diversity Training’: Expecting People To Show Up On Time Is Racist
by Shifra on April 13, 2017You know what’s really racist?

Firefighters Forced to Remove Police Flag Due to ‘Extremist’ Fears
by Tammy on July 20, 2016It’s bad enough to have to deal with the fact there’s a war on cops on this country, and another thing altogether when a fire chief, of all people, caves to political correctness and orders the removal of a police flag.

Muslim Woman Threatens to Bomb America Outside LAX, Then Walks Right In
by Tammy on June 27, 2016This is how political correctness is killing us. In any other normal environment, anyone making a terrorist threat would be hauled off. But not anymore. And at the airport no less! She’s allowed to wander around LAX for two hours, and only then is she escorted from the premises. Who is this woman? A citizen? A tourist? Will anyone in the legacy media care to find out? I did a cursory search on Google and in News and found good conservative blog coverage but not much else. Thanks goodness for New Media because without the internet, well, we’d be even more screwed than we are right now. Yeah, it’s past time to stop this nonsense. Via Townhall. In a bizarre...
