A Chicago police officer is suing the city to change his race on his official records after the department said it would allow officers to freely change their gender to match their identity. Mohammad Yusuf, 43, said in a federal civil rights lawsuit filed last week that he is looking to change from “Caucasian” as he “currently identifies as Egyptian and African American.” However, the Chicago Police Department is not allowing him to change his race. The lawsuit comes as the department allows an officer’s “gender identity [to be] corrected to match their lived experience,” Yusuf’s lawsuit alleges.

If the powers that be are going to accommodate a biological impossibility, they might as well be consistent and do the same for another biological (and genetic) impossibility.

FTA: According to the lawsuit, Yusuf alleges that he has been repeatedly overlooked for promotions due to his “Caucasian” race. These promotions, he claims, have been given to other minority applicants with only very few going to Caucasian applicants. And there you have it, the real issue is white officers face discrimination. I don't blame him for playing the game, the anti-white rules preventing white officers from being promoted are in place are racist, but they won't change, not in this city.

"The lawsuit comes as the department allows an officer’s “gender identity [to be] corrected to match their lived experience,” Yusuf’s lawsuit alleges." If he's being denied promotions for being Caucasian, that's his "lived experience." Why are those entitled to "correct" their gender from the one "assigned at birth" have an unlimited period of time to evaluate their lived experience? And how can his right to identify in the way genetic testing proves is correct be denied him? Follow the science ought to settle this once and for all.

Ahhh! Being absurd to show the absurdity. I hope his end game is to take and early retirement and move away from Chicago. I work for a big box store. Once a month, there is a kids' event- with a cheap give-away. I got stuck monitoring it last month. Stuff for girls and stuff for boys. The manager came by. I told him that there was a problem. There wasn't anything for non-binary kids. (it's good to catch him off-guard.)

Lisa Halaby, the American-born woman who is now the widowed Queen Noor of Jordan, had grandparents who immigrated to the USA from Syria. About the time of WWI, her grandfather, Najeeb Elias Halaby, petitioned the US government to classify Arabs as "white". He argued that Jesus the Christ and the Moors who invaded Spain were historically considered white. Similarly, many of Italian origin are equally olive-complexioned as Arabs. They are considered white. For at least ten years, some have pressed to classify Egyptians and other Arabs as non-white. Identity politics is motivated by the accurate perception of disparate treatment. It is not a merit-based way of thinking.

Interesting. How can you uphold one absurdity while striking down the other? He may have shot himself in the foot by mentioning the lack of promotions. Judge may rule against him because of that being the true motivation.

California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is considered a rising star in the Democrat Party, is under fire after a report this week revealed that he pushed for a special carveout in the state’s new $20 minimum wage law that affects businesses owned by one of his top political allies and donors. Bloomberg News reported that billionaire Greg Flynn was getting a “new boost” after his chain of Panera Bread locations were exempted from a new law that forces fast food restaurants to increase their minimum wage from $16 to $20 per hour. Flynn is the largest “restaurant franchisee in the US, if not the world,” the report added.

In 2017, Antifa and its anarcho-Marxist allies and a few small white supremacist groups engaged in violent activity at political rallies. However, the Department of Justice prosecuted only the white supremacists under the Anti-Riot Act of 1968. A federal court has finally called foul on this unconstitutional government bias. The decision, by Judge Cormac J. Carney (a George W. Bush nominee), is in United States of America v. Rundo et al. The defendants, both self-avowed white supremacists, moved to dismiss the charges against them under the Anti-Riot Act because the government violated the equal protection clause when it failed to prosecute anarcho-Marxists for identical activity.
In win for Paxton, court declares $1.7

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday secured a major victory in his challenge to the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending package passed in 2022, with a court declaring that the bill was approved unconstitutionally. President Joe Biden signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 in December of the prior year. The measure effectively set the federal budget for the year by wrapping the 12 annual appropriations bills into a single piece of legislation. Paxton, however, had argued that the House's passage of the measure was unconstitutional as less than half of the lower chamber's members were physically present to vote on it.

Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee’s chambers notified attorneys in the case by email late Monday that certain communications Terrence Bradley had with Wade are not protected by attorney-client privilege, according to numerous people who read the email. Bradley could be compelled to testify as soon as Tuesday afternoon.

Mary Poppins has had its age rating lifted from U to PG because it contains 'discriminatory language' - but the word in question is so obscure you may have never noticed it. The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) now considers the 1964 tale of Julie Andrews' magical nanny to be not suitable for children to watch alone, despite the film enchanting generations of youngsters. The reclassification is due to the use of the word Hottentots. The dated term was historically used by Europeans to refer to the Khoekhoe, a group of nomadic herders in South Africa, but is now regarded as racially offensive.

The ruling marks a victory, though perhaps a temporary one, for conservative parents and school board members who implemented these policies against intense pressure from Governor Gavin Newsom, activist groups, and the media.

In an announcement, James noted that beef production has the largest greenhouse gas footprint of any major food commodity and that animal agriculture accounts for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. According to James, JBS USA's various net-zero pledges for 2030 and 2040 are therefore misleading and "not feasible" given the scope of its worldwide beef production operations.
