It's pretty funny. I just looked at the news to see if anything of moment had happened. The answer is no, nothing new is on the scene. Nevertheless, there are a series of rather bizarre "news" articles which are leftist opinion pieces masquerading as news.
First, Newsweek has an article praising Hillary Clinton for giving to charity all of the cash donated by Harvey Weinstein. That's a rather dumb position since what Clinton actually said is that she would consider part of her next contribution to charity to be coming from the cash Weinstein donated in the past. Clinton won't give a penny more to charity; she's just going to tell us all that this donation is actually the money that came from Weinstein. The Newsweek piece then denounces Ivanka Trump for not talking about Harvey Weinstein. If Hillary had to do it, then Ivanka ought to do the same. Of course, that misses the major differences between Ivanka and Hillary. First, Weinstein didn't give big bucks for decades to Ivanka, but he did give to Hillary. Second, Ivanka never covered up the misdeeds of a man who sexually abused, assaulted and harassed women by attacking those women as "white trash" and liars. Hillary, of course, did so famously for decades.
The second article announces that Donald Trump became the first president to address an "anti-LBGTQ" group, the Values Voters. The Family Research Council uses the Values Voters Summit to promote pro-family, pro-marriage, and pro-life positions. Is it anti-gay to be pro-family? Is it anti-gay to be pro-life? Is it anti-gay to be pro-marriage? Of course not. The truth is that rather than debate the actual issues of how to treat marriage, family and abortion, the left resorts to name calling. The Values Voters must be anti-LBGTQ. They're evil. No need to consider their positions.
This is news?
