On June 26, 2017, the day the Supreme Court agreed to hear Phillips' case, Autumn Scardina, a transgender attorney and activist, called Masterpiece Cakeshop and asked Phillips to design a custom cake with a blue exterior and a pink interior to symbolize a transition from male to female. Phillips politely turned Scardina down. "I was stunned," the lawyer risibly claimed in her complaint to the Colorado Civil Rights Commission.
Scardina, of course, didn't accidentally ask the most famous Christian baker in the nation to make a "transition" cake. Scardina is leading a crusade against Phillips. In one call, Scardina allegedly asked for "an image of Satan smoking marijuana." In a written request, members of "the Church of Satan" asked for "a three-tiered white cake" with a "large figure of Satan, licking a 9" black Dildo." "I would like the dildo to be an actual working model, that can be turned on before we unveil the cake," went the request. You can just sense the sanctimonious smugness of people who think this sort of thing is edgy.Manhattan Institute scholar Chris Pope, writing at NRO, offers some much-needed clear thinking on the subject of preexisting conditions.
Irony of ironies: Planned Parenthood treats its pregnant employees shabbily.
You know what a major factor in the VSG's decision to withdraw troops from Syria was? Turkish president Erdogan telling him in a phone call that Turkish troops were coming across the border to kill Kurds that have been allied with the US. Fox News's Jennifer Griffin says Erdogan "warned US troops to get out of the way."
A few years ago, this John of God charlatan down in Brazil was all the rage among New-Agers. Now he's been charged with hundreds of sex crimes.
Planned Parenthood sounds like yet another workplace badly in need of organized representation by a union. SEIU would probably be a good fit.
