Fidel Castro, Cuba's Communist Dictator, Dead at 90

I still haven't finished this obituary. I started reading it on my phone last night when I got in bed, and I turned on the Michigan/Ohio State game when I got up.


I'm loving the commentary on Twitter though.


More later.

Don't Like Trump's Cabinet Picks So Far? Too Bad — He Won

Well, leftists actually haven't accepted Trump's win. Now the big thing is a recount in the battleground states.

But see the letters to the editor, at the Los Angeles Times:
To the editor: Why “hard right”? Do you ever say “hard left”?

I’ll say it now: The Times is a biased, hard-left Democratic Party propaganda organ. Your coverage of the presidential election campaign was biased and partisan, with regular Trump bashing — not just in editorials and op-ed articles, but also news stories, book and art reviews and even sports.

Despite President Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s post-election statements, your coverage of the transition is even worse. What are you, journalists or Democratic Party political operatives?

John Mellen,

Heh.

I'm surprised that letter even got through, lol.

Still more.

Sports Illustrated 'Football in America'

Following-up from earlier, "Mike Pereira, NFL's Former Head of Officiating, Watches Several Games at Once at Fox News Studios, Wearing Ugg Boots Just Below the View of the TV Camera."

Today's the best football day of the year: Three games and turkey dinner. You can't beat it for loafing around like an unemployed basement-dwelling fever swamp leftist, heh. (They probably don't even like football, since it's heteronormative and patriarchal, lol.)

Mike Pereira, NFL's Former Head of Officiating, Watches Several Games at Once at Fox News Studios, Wearing Ugg Boots Just Below the View of the TV Camera

A really cool story.

At LAT, "Former NFL head of officiating Mike Pereira still gets to make the tough calls on games":

Beneath his natty three-piece suit, Mike Pereira wears thermal underwear. The millions of football fans who tune in every fall Sunday would have no idea that he’s clomping around in fur-lined UGG boots that are just below the view of the TV camera. His glass-walled workroom at Fox Sports studios, appropriately nicknamed the “Ice Cube,” has the thermostat twisted down to a crisp 50 degrees to combat the hot lights and keep everyone alert.

Without question, Pereira has the coolest job in the NFL...

Wayne State University Police Officer Dies After Being Shot in the Head in Horrific Ambush Shooting

Interesting how we've witnessed a rash of police ambush attacks right after the election of Donald Trump. I don't think it's a coincidence.

Christine Garcia, San Diego's First Transgender Police Officer, Removed from Transgender Day of Awareness Event (VIDEO)

She was removed from the event even after she helped organize it.

Because LGBTQ progs are so, well, progresssive.

At the S.D. Union-Tribune, "Transgender cop's uniform keeps her out of event she organized":

San Diego’s first transgender police officer was kept out of an event at the San Diego LGBT Community Center in Hillcrest last week because she was wearing her uniform.

The Transgender Day of Awareness, an annual event to honor those who lost their lives to anti-transgender violence, was held Nov. 17 at the facility on Centre Street.

Officer Christine Garcia, who publicly transitioned last year, helped plan the event and was part of the police department security detail that watched over a commemorative march down University Avenue.

After the march, when Garcia tried to enter the event as a member of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community, she was asked to leave because her police uniform could upset others in attendance.

When leaders at the center learned what had happened they directly apologized to Garcia and San Diego police Chief Shelley Zimmerman.

“We do not wish to ever make any community member feel unwelcome at The Center – these officers are valued members of our community,” said Delores Jacobs, CEO of the center, in a statement.

Jacobs said the occurrence was a regrettable misunderstanding of the center’s already existing policy of inclusion, which seeks to acknowledge the concerns that members of the community may have without excluding others. Leaders have reviewed the policy with its staff since the event.

“While we need to support those that are uncomfortable and honor their reactions to valid and understandable difficult previous experiences, we also need to explain that… our LGBTQ San Diego police liaisons are a valued part of our community,” Jacobs wrote.

Longtime LGBTQ activist, City Commissioner Nicole Murray-Ramirez, said the incident was an outrage.

“Any officer, be they gay or straight, should be welcomed into our community center in uniform,” he said. “They protect our community and neighborhoods and make San Diego a better place.”
