Racism is everywhere, just like the moonbats tell us. You just have to look really, really hard. Someone looked hard enough to get Gru from Despicable Me fired by Universal Orlando Resort for making an okay sign.

An unidentified actor dressed as Gru was posing with a 2- and a 6-year old when he allegedly committed the thought crime:

Their mom, Tiffiney Zinger, told USA Today that she only noticed later that the kids’ movie character was making an upside-down “OK” symbol, which the Anti-Defamation League recently added to its list of hate symbols.

Actually, the 4Chan hoax that the ADL comically fell for is based on the notion that the familiar okay sign resembles the letters W.P. for “white power.” It does not resemble these letters when it is upside down.

Nonetheless, an upside-down okay sign was enough to get a Cubs fan (who was probably playing the Circle Game) banned indefinitely from Wrigley Field.

Good thing Zina Bash doesn’t work for Universal Orlando Resort. She would get fired for inadvertently making an okay sign too.

Screeches Ms Zinger, who is a Person of Politically Preferred Pigmentation:

“We just wanted to take them to see the Minions, do something special for our family, and this person ruined that special warm feeling.”

Now she has the warm special feeling that bullies enjoy after getting someone fired. Universal Orlando Resort grovelingly proclaims that it axed the poor guy in the Gru suit:

“We can’t discuss specifics about this incident, but we can confirm that the actor no longer works here. We remain in contact with the family and will work with them privately to make this right.”

Ka-ching! Sounds like being oppressed by racism will pay off big for Ms Zinger. She already has homes in Colorado and Orlando. After things have been made “right,” maybe she’ll buy another, compliments of other Universal Orlando guests.

If black lives mattered to the Black Lives Matter contingent, black lives saved would be their objective. But that would mean voting Republican, which would run contrary to the actual objective of driving America as far off the rails to the left as possible. The current administration has saved many lives by reversing Obama’s war on cops.

Via Breitbart:

Nationwide, homicides spiked to 15,195 in 2016, up from 12,278 murders in 2014 when Obama and his progressive and media allies began blaming police forces for multiple episodes in which young black men were killed.

This was a consequence of the Ferguson Effect, by which police respond to hostile political pressure by taking a more hands-off approach to policing, resulting in more violent crime.

Since then, Trump has ended the White House support for the Black Lives Matter movement, and the number of murders was forced down to 14,123 in 2018, according to new FBI data. The murder rate dropped by 6.8 percent from 2017 to 2018.

The combined reduction in murders in 2017 and 2018 adds up to roughly 1,318 Americans who did not die from murder since Obama’s departure in early 2017. … A large percentage of the people who did not die are African-American.

Contrary to what the liberal media would have you believe, blacks are not normally killed by white police officers, but by other blacks. This happens due to lack of law and order, an intolerable situation that Democrats aggressively advance.

If leftists thought black lives matter, they wouldn’t be willing to let black neighborhoods degenerate into anarchic jungles to advance their agenda.

Meat constitutes a central component of the human diet. Our teeth are designed for chewing it. It contains essential nutrients; babies subjected to vegan diets suffer horribly (e.g., here, here, and here). Yet progressives oppose meat on ideological grounds. That’s why the moonbats at the Guardian clutch their pearls as they breathlessly denounce a study that confirms the intuitively obvious: meat is not bad for your health.

After a couple paragraphs on how bad meat is, the moonbats admit:

[A] 14-member international team led by Bradley Johnston an associate professor of community health at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, concluded that those who like meat should not stop on health grounds. “Based on the research, we cannot say with any certainty that eating red or processed meat causes cancer, diabetes or heart disease,” he said.

Then the Guardian goes back to telling us that meat is bad. It hurts animals and the planet, et cetera. Most of the piece is devoted to disputing the study.

Nonetheless, saying that meat in reasonable quantities as part of a balanced diet is bad for people is like saying nuts are bad for squirrels. It’s what we eat.

Squad member Rashida Tlaib, who succinctly summarized the Democrat Party platform when she screeched “Impeach the m******f******” prior to the current pretext for impeachment, is a master at promoting and exploiting hate hoaxes. The Washington Free Beacon notes that she has climbed aboard at least four hoaxes so far this year without issuing corrections after the hoaxes collapsed.

The most recent example is the Amari Allen hoax, which inspired this tweet:

Big Boss tweeted an apology in light of Amari admitting that she invented her allegations. There has been no apology from Tlaib, most of whose followers probably don’t know that it was a hoax.

Other times Tlaib promoted a hoax and then refused to acknowledge that it had been debunked according to WFB include the Covington Catholic spectacle, the Jussie Smollett farce, and the appalling story of black Georgia lawmaker Erica Thomas, who invented an incident of racial oppression at a grocery store.

Exploiting hate hoaxes and irresponsibly refusing to acknowledge that they have been debunked makes Rashida Tlaib a hate hoaxer herself, in addition to an overall nasty piece of work. Please welcome this Democrat congresscritter to the Hate Hoax List.

The New York Daily News unmasks an alarming problem with the NYC Ferry service: it is utilized by hated middle class whites.

The city’s nonprofit Economic Development Corporation, which runs the ferry network with private cruise company Hornblower, conducted a survey of more than 5,400 riders over a two-week period in May and June. The agency’s analysts determined that 64% of the boat users are white, and that riders’ median annual income falls in the $75,000 to $99,000 range.

That hardly constitutes the upper crust in New York, where salaries are inflated and the cost of living is even more inflated. But subway riders make less, and more importantly are two-thirds nonwhite.

Therefore, the subterranean hellscapes that are the NYC subways (see here, here, and here) are good, and the NYC Ferry service is bad. Never mind that the same data suggests that ferry riders carry a greater share of the tax burden per capita.

Whether the city should spend a lot of money subsidizing NYC Ferry is debatable; to suggest that it should not on the grounds that too many riders are Caucasian is appalling.

The Daily Snooze may have helped launch a campaign to abolish the ferry. Progressives cannot impose utopia without ridding the country of the white middle class; preventing this despised group from getting to work is a step in that direction.

It isn’t easy being a police officer in a jurisdiction dominated by progressives. Your job is to uphold law and order. But that runs contrary to the liberal agenda, so it can get you in big trouble, especially if you cooperate with ICE:

A police officer in Fairfax County, Virginia, is facing disciplinary action for contacting Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the scene of a traffic accident involving an illegal immigrant wanted for deportation.

If something similar had happened with Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, Kate Steinle would still be alive — and yet:

Fairfax County police Chief Edwin Roessler said the officer has been relieved of all law enforcement duties pending the outcome of an investigation.

Here’s why helping his own government enforce immigration law was a major transgression:

The arrest procedure at issue is a 2007 police department ruling that forbids police from taking into custody anyone whom the system flags as having an “outstanding administrative warrant of removal,” unless that person isn’t being taken into custody for another violation of the law.

This insanity will not be relieved by the kooks running Virginia.

In April 2018, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam vetoed a bill that would have prohibited the establishment of sanctuary cities in the state; contrary to his pre-election promise.

In hopes of surviving the media discovering ancient pictures of him wearing blackface, Northam will go to any extreme to make a pageant of his eagerness to sacrifice the interests of the core population to anyone likely to have darker skin.

Fairfax County is a suburb of the District of Corruption. The area is crawling with criminal illegal aliens:

A recent ICE operation netted 57 illegal immigrants in Virginia and Washington, D.C. The agency said the arrestees came from Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, El Salvador, Argentina, Bolivia, and Kazakhstan. Of the 57 aliens, 41 had criminal histories including sexual assault, aggravated assault, possession of cocaine, larceny, forgery, driving under the influence, illegal entry, and illegal re-entry.

It isn’t just the Washington area. California is also run by Democrats who aggressively side with foreign criminals against law-abiding American citizens, as is Chicago:

“We will never, ever succumb to the racist, xenophobic rhetoric of ICE,” [Chicago Mayor Lori] Lightfoot said, according to WGNTV. “We will continue to ban ICE from having access to any CPD databases. We’ll not allow any CPD officer to cooperate with anything related to ICE and its immigration raids.”

Until recently, it would have been unthinkable that anyone as irresponsible and as openly hostile to America’s interests and to the rule of law could be mayor of a major city. But Lightfoot is a Lesbian of Color, so she is not without qualifications.

It is a testament to the liberal establishment media’s effective at brainwashing that more than one person in a hundred votes Democrat. Americans don’t have long to stop doing it before the country is irretrievably lost.

It would be hard to imagine a more appropriate way to celebrate 70 years of communist rule in China than by shooting a pro-democracy protester in the chest at point blank range with a live round.

Via Summit News:

The incident occurred on Hoi Pa Street in Tsuen Wan during demonstrations to coincide with the 70th anniversary of Communist Party rule in China.

The victim is reportedly a high school student.

China has doubled the number of its troops stationed in Hong Kong as one expert warns that the soldiers could be preparing for a “total breakdown in order.”

That would justify a total crackdown, along the lines of Tiananmen Square.

Today’s communist rulers are less communist than Mao, so people aren’t starving or getting executed in large numbers. But the authorities are still communist enough to do this:

Millions of Bernie Bros would vote to impose the same thing in the USA.

Meanwhile, while the clot of algae that is the contrived Trump/Ukraine pseudostory consumes all the oxygen in the mainstream media pond, real problems continue to fester, including the skyrocketing national debt, the ever more bellicose terror state of Iran, a trade war with China, an invasion across the southern border, and a sex crime wave inflicted on children by illegal aliens (while New York City makes it a crime to call them illegal aliens).
