What's remarkable is the way she'd doubled down on her idiocy.  You see, all the statutes are white men, so this is just one more example.  And her cheerleaders have been saying "but missionary = imperialism!!!!!!!" etc.

I wonder how many of them know this little factoid:  The Hawaiian royal family converted to Anglicanism and made that the state church.  Catholics were a persecuted minority during the period of the monarchy.  So if anything, a Catholic missionary represents dissent from the ruling orthodoxy.

and as I note in the comments to that thread, it’s amazing how Latino leftists in this country almost all managed to pull off this trick of pretending that they are 100% descended from indigenous Americans. And they are never questioned on that.

Even if they 100% look like European Spaniards, who flew over yesterday. OK, before COVID, not yesterday.

That is the whole problem with the "hispanic" category. It is meant to be "native Central and Southern Americans" but is defined in a way that includes white Europeans.

Of course, the bigger problem is that we have to have these categories at all.

Come on, "Black Lives Matter" only means Blacks killed by police, not blacks killed by anyone else. (And it doesn't matter if the black was killed by police while shooting or waving a knife, either)

So, *all of a sudden*, the DC city government is super duper extra serious about preventing the “defacing of public property“. I see. This, after the antifa and BLM crazies have been “tagging“ everything in sight for the last two months (and with paint, not chalk, not to mention of course the arson and all that). This is a clear first amendment violation.

The whole thing looks suspicious to me.

There is DC police Ranked Officer, the white shirt, I couldn't make out the rank, but white shirt and epaulets makes him Lieutenant or better. This "protest" is an on going every saturday event.

Why this weekend does this garner the attention of a Ranked Officer who apparently has orders to make an arrest.

Ordinary chalking a sideway gets a 23 skidoo order. As you point out chalking is a 0.5 on a the 10 vandalism scale with everything else going on.

There is something else, at a higher level happening. I hope the kids have the smarts to pick up on this, return attorneys and pursue the case as far as they can with discovery on what that Ranking Officers orders were.

I did have the shingles vaccine, the older one that is not as effective (newer one wasn't out yet) because I saw what it was like when  my father had shingles. No side effects, no shingles, either.

I believe the recommendation is for those 60 and older to get it.

That seems to be the age recommendation for the older vaccine; for the newer one, it’s 50 and up.

Same here, and it is hard for an older software engineer to find work. (And then they wonder why software continues to have the same bugs we learned not to make years ago)

That's why I liked my part-time University of Phoenix work, as I figured it was part of my retirement plan. Until Obama went after for-profit schools. UoP was always legit, expensive, but not a diploma mill. But not an indoctrination place, either. Their enrollment tanked, I went from teaching constantly to one course every couple of months, to too few to stay. And Obama buys a multiple million dollar house out to the Vineyahd (as they say around heah)

I feel lucky to be where I am. It's contract work, but they consistently renew contracts annually. Every two years, we have a one-month unpaid "sabbatical" to retain contractor status. I can live with that as long as my contract keeps being renewed. A lot of us are in our 50s and 60s - they don't discriminate the way hip new startups do.
