Joseph as refugees in cages (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats paint GOD as

anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people,
anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders,

— Illinois lawmakers, Chicago leaders protest Trump administration’s cuts to
food stamp program. ABC7 is awaiting comment from the Illinois GOP and offices
of a few Republican congressmen on Sunday’s protest. (DIERSEN: Jobs always
exist for those who are able-bodied. However, overwhelmingly, those jobs are
“bad jobs.” The real issue is should able-bodied food stamp
recipients be required to take “bad jobs?” According to my
critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, they never would have
stooped to take the “bad jobs” that I did. I did yard work and
delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes,
chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on
an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires,
automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972;
collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies
1980-1997.)

https://qconline.com/opinion/columnists/column-a-rapidly-approaching-future/article_9f5505a5-e611-51f9-94ee-8dd18838b9c2.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: No
matter what side you take on Trump Impeachment Theater, or just about any other
topic for that matter — from the politics of chicken sandwiches to climate
change — if you dare challenge the views of the reigning political priests,
chances are you’ll be called stupid and hateful. And someone will want to shut
you up. The traditional American response to such silencing has always been:
“This is a free country, isn’t it?” But is it now? Or are we building
a new “Animal Farm,” where we are told what to think and how to think
it? These are the central questions in “No Safe Spaces,” a profoundly
important new film about free speech and thought by conservative radio host
Dennis Prager and Adam Carolla, the libertarian comic and podcast superstar.)
