[So Starbucks is going to sensitize all their employees in all their 8,000+ stores this coming Tuesday afternoon. Anyone have any idea what difference such newly sensitive employees will make when all the stores will be open to anyone wanting to get in out of the rain and cold, and take advantage of a pause that refreshes? gjr]

Heads finally roll –
The other man he’s referring to is former Police Chief Al Thomas, who city officials say retired in December, but Gathers believes otherwise. Both men were in power during the August 12 Unite the Right rally and many fault them for the violence that occurred. But, Gathers believes others need to be held accountable as well.
While two of the key local figures who played a role in the events surrounding the August 12 rally–City Manager Jones and former Police Chief Thomas–are now no longer affiliated with the city government or are soon to leave it, officials with the Commonwealth of Virginia who may have been more responsible for the planning and implementation of security on that day have, so far, not been subjected to similar scrutiny.

What’s next, making us all show up and salute the trumpski and praise him at his rallies or risk being sent to a ‘re-education camp’ where we will be taught how wonderful and truthful our dear leader Donald is?. As of Oct. 1, 2020 you will have to show either a passport or a TSA certified state driver’s license TO BOARD A FUCKING PLANE THAT FLIES BETWEEN SACRAMENTO AND SAN FRANCISCO OR ANYWHERE ELSE WITHIN THESE United States. Now that is real freedom… How long will it be until all of the fruit and vegetable inspection stations require the same ID to move from state to state via automobile? All in the name of the war on terror.
George — I fail to understand your position on Starbucks. Does “anyone wanting to get in out of the rain and cold” meant to imply that people seeking temporary shelter from the weather, who may not necessarily want or can afford a $5.00 glorified cup of coffee, will now flock into the stores further disrupting business thereby creating a greater disturbance than calling the cops on innocent people because they weren’t white? Does “a pause that refreshes” mean an expensive coffee drink or just getting in out of the rain? I just don’t seem to get your cryptic insinuations.

Oh Bobbie, don’t confuse free speech with speech on the clock. Free speech applies only to government and government prohibitions. Can a customer service representative for say, the phone company, who meets customers all day long say anything and do anything they want? What about some companies barring nose rings and tongue/lip piercings for their front line employees? Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of consequences.
What about “morality clauses” in many contracts, as well as in NFL and MLB contracts? What about ESPN talking heads who go home and write vulgar and vile things on their personal social media pages….then are promptly fired, demoted, warned sternly, or taken to the woodshed by management, advertisers, and viewers? Customers are reliable employers if you do not work for the employer of last resort, aka, the gobberment.
Are you saying Trump cannot say what he wants or cannot exercise his right to free speech?
Do you know why Colin and Obama identify exclusively with their black half? Cause there is no privilege in being white.

Oh my, here is a real kicker. Bobbie sez:
“……will now flock into the stores further disrupting business thereby creating a greater disturbance than calling the cops on innocent people because they weren’t white”
Well, let’s look at the background of that particular Philly Starbucks and the facts of the horrible, terrible injustice to low lives, shall we?
1). The policy of that particular Starbucks was bathrooms for paying customers only and hanging out for paying customers only. This policy was backed by management at the regional level because the manager of that particular Starbucks (female) had been chased around the store by a crazies homeless man with a knife. Now, that’s a hostile work environment, no doubt.
2). The BLACK man was hanging out in Starbucks, waiting for a friend. He was told of the store’s no loitering policy, paying customers only. Like, buy a small cup of regulate coffee for under two bucks and hangout all day hoggi g up the tables like most free loaders do, but nooooo
3) The man was told several times by employees about that particular store’s “paying customers only” policy (backed by management a mentioned before) and he refused to go outside and wait. I. Fact, he told them to go pound sand.
4) The police were called to resolve the situation. The cops told the man the policy and asked him three times to leave. Three times. Not only did he refuse each time, he gave the cops lip! The cuffs came out and the Black Man was kicked out for “not being white”, ROFLMAO.
So, Bobbie, I have a friend who went to Knights Paint early. Nice guy. HH kicks out all their “clients” in the morning and releases the surge upon the innocent. So. my painter friend was sitting in his truck ready to go into Knights when this guy from HH walks up and starts yelling and demanding my friend “GIVE ME MONEY.” My friend on occasion gives a bum buck or two, but this guy was screaming and angry and not even asking. He was demanding. We all know the difference between a demand and a request. Thus, because of the angry hostile actions of the homeless white dude, my friend gave him zero.
So, guess you are saying that Knights Paints, Safeway, the Cig Store, and the Dollar Store should just open their doors to low life mental cases and let them hang out all day long and harass and scare customers because….they are just poor folks who through no fault of their own are seeking a spot of refugee from the rain? That is after they bust into cars in the parking lots and disturbe every single business that has the most unfortunate curse of being in close proximity of the Hospitality House? Ok, righttttt.
Maybe you can give take one in and let them loiter at your place. Loitering means to linger without a purpose…..but they have a purpose all right. And that purpose is bad for business. I know, Peter, Paul, and Mary sang, “This land is my land, this land is your land……what’s yours is mine and what’s mine is mine, right?
I don’t do Starbucks but infrequently and solely because I get those darn Starbucks gift cards at Christmas. Gee, thanks. It’s the thought that counts. I have not or would ever pay 5 bucks for a cup of mud, gift card or no gift card. I buy a regular small cup of coffee for under two bucks. Heard it’s now 2 bucks. Who in their right mind would ever pay 5 bucks for cup of mud? Its only Cavfefe.

Is John Brennan a man of impeccable integrity or is it conspiracy time?
Brennan was asked by NBC’s Andrea Mitchell whether the CIA had illegally accessed Senate Intelligence Committee staff computers “to thwart an investigation by the committee into” the agency’s past interrogation techniques. The accusation had been made earlier that day by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who said the CIA had “violated the separation-of-powers principles embodied in the United States Constitution.” Brennan answered:
As far as the allegations of, you know, CIA hacking into, you know, Senate computers, nothing could be further from the truth. I mean, we wouldn’t do that. I mean, that’s – that’s just beyond the – you know, the scope of reason in terms of what we would do. …
And, you know, when the facts come out on this, I think a lot of people who are claiming that there has been this tremendous sort of spying and monitoring and hacking will be proved wrong.
(You can see the video of Brennan’s answer here.)
Now we know that the truth was far different. The Post’s Greg Miller reports:
CIA Director John O. Brennan has apologized to leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee after an agency investigation determined that its emplo

Well, Alex Jones gave him a check for $3,000 to get him out. Things are looking up for the poor unemployed college educated man. The future looks rosy.
“The Syracuse native, who enjoys tinkering with computers, must be out of his parents’ house by June 1. In addition to the check from Jones, Rotondo also received a job offer from adult entertainment company CamSoda. It’s unclear if he accepted.”

jon smith, I reject the premise of your agrument.
First, the Amish are not illegals and have a right to be here. In fact, they are as a group exempted from Obamacare (lucky dogs) because they are fine folk who keep to their odd religious customs without applying for welfare or refugee status and get this….they do not engage in terrorism! Imagine that. Neither are they eco-nuts, zealots, or seek world domination. They take care of one another. Nor do the Jehovah Witnesses partake in terrorist activities, advocate for Santuary City protections for breaking our laws by being here illegally, nor to they join with groups that call LE murderous swine, nor wear Castro tee shirts in Miami or socks with pigs donning police hats at press conferences like Colin does. Nor are they paid millions of dollars a year to entertain us on TV as folks try to get a reprieve from life’s daily grind by turning on a game. Nope, the Amish don’t watch TV and it is doubtful that they would be in the spotlight chanting “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot”, which we all know how never happened. The Amish and the JWs would be adverse to repeating such humongous lies as “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” because that is against their morals, ethics, and convictions.
The NFL players can say whatever they want on their own time. Heck, after they refuse to stand for the National Anthem, they go out drinking or kick back at home after a hard day’s work like most people do. Guess after the game winding down period really cuts into their social justice time. Hey, it’s their free time….as long as they don’t beat up their wives. Then they lose their priveledged class and stage to protest on.
The big problem is some players chose the National Anthem to voice their grievance against police brutality, which is soooo tone deaf because the average Joe sees the National Anthem as being a symbol of all the patriots who fought and died for our exceptional country (military) and not as a de facto symbol of law enforcement. Perception is reality to many folks, so the protesting kneelers are perceived as anti-military and anti-American instead of anti-police. Those players live in a bubble, no doubt.
But then again, there was one kneeler who the Liberal Mainstream Press went full blown degranged over, spewing hate, vile, and ridicule at the young man. A quarterback to boot. His name became mud, a true lightening rod for the haters. He is no longer in the NFL. No, not Vick. A His name was Tebow, Tim Tebow. He took a knee on the field and that was the unforgivable sin.

BELLEAU, France (AP) — High-ranking military officials from the United States, France and Germany took part in Memorial Day ceremonies at an American cemetery in France on Sunday to mark the centennial of the battle of Belleau Wood, a turning point in World War I and a key moment in U.S. Marine Corps history.
The ceremony at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in the village of Belleau featured speeches Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Robert Neller and other military officials, prayers, wreath laying, poem readings, and the national anthems of the three countries.
More than 5,000 people attended the event to commemorate the fierce, monthlong battle, which is considered the first major engagement of U.S. troops in the war. Belleau Wood, where Marines helped Allied Forces secure victory, also helped to establish the prestige and reputation for bravery of the Marine Corps overseas.
Rear Admiral Brent Scott, chaplain of the U.S. Marine Corps, said the battle was a “critical turning point” for the Corps.
“There are many great stories that have come out of this battle, that have inspired Marines for generations,” Scott told The Associated Press.
Most of the 2,289 American soldiers, including 474 Marines, buried in the Belleau cemetery died in the French northern Aisne-Marne region in 1918. More than a thousand other servicemen are memorialized and honored by name on Walls of the Missing.
The June 1918 battle in and outside the Belleau Wood and the decisive engagement of the U.S. forces became a defining moment in WWI by containing a break by German troops through the Western Front and foiling their push toward Paris.

At least Trump paid his own hush money. I am sure the irony will escape the trolls.
West Hollywood Mayor John Duran, who honored porn star Stormy Daniels last week for her role in leading the “resistance” to President Donald Trump, faced sexual harassment claims that led to the city paying out $500,000 on his behalf in 2016.

“during the last administration, theirs was never “living in the past and trying to hijack the news cycle!!!”
Never. Never. Never. Never once.
Ok, news cycle. Former NYC mayor calls Comey a liar, Starbucks employees complaining about blood and needles in bathroom since April (one reported pricked by needle while cleaning restroom), South Korea and North Korea having talks (meet and greet) and low key US delegation present, IG report on FBI handling of Hillary e-mailgate wrapping up, White man (Shawn King) outspoken Black activist made to look like a fool again, white woman who identified as a black woman now identifies as an inmate convicted of welfare fraud, Clapper and Brennan’s habitual lying exposed, Peter was one of the two FBI agents who interviewed Flynn, big trial in London for Muslims raping 700 underage girls, Obama hits the big bucks, gets 400k for speech (topic: poor folks), NFL players and/or owners to be fined for kneeling during the Star Spankled Banner, FBI reports concealed carriers save lives/prevent more deaths……well. It looks like the news cycle is an continuation of the last administration’s news cycle focusing on the results and actions of former administration’s policies. Oh yeah, still haven’t found a motive for the Pulse Nightclub massacre of gays by a Muslim dude.
Oh yeah again. Another American released from captivity (without ransom paid) and Trump pardons former heavyweight champion of the world Jack Johnson, reversing Obama’s inaction. All the great economy news makes ones eyes glaze over….just crumbs I reckon.

Hmm. Oh, let Trump have his fun before the Dems impeach him and promptly rescind the tax cuts. What harm can he do? He’s just one little man with a Twitter Machine.

ROFLMAO. From the Entertainment Section on Fox. Where do they find these “journalists” and them “news directors”. Best laugh of the week.

More laughs:
“Donald Trump, trumpets all of these releases. It’s very unusual, of course, for someone to be released and go straight to the White House for a photo opportunity,” Raddatz opined. But that’s not entirely accurate. President Obama had his own press conference to “trumpet” the release of Bowe Bergdahl, the infamous Afghanistan deserter, which ultimately blew up in his face. Obama actually traded five Taliban commanders for Bergdahl while Trump gave nothing in return for Holt.
“So I would say it is pretty obvious it does give him a boost,” Raddatz continued to whine. “I’m not sure many Americans knew about Joshua Holt and he was held in Venezuela…” It’s interesting and tragic that she would surmise how many Americans knew about Holt because according to a Nexis search of ABC broadcasts from 2016, they never mentioned his capture.

More chuckles for this fine day:
“But even more so, the video proves the point that many conservatives have long argued — the outright anti-conservative bias of many MSM reporters, who are more agenda-driven activists than they are investigative journalists.”
