The State Department's a 'Hotbed of Resistance' Against President Trump
Um, bureaucratic officials are supposed to be nonpartisan. This is wrong. Extremely wrong.

Breitbart's Katie Mchugh Fired for Politically Incorrect Tweets
I don't know Katie McHugh. Frankly, I barely recollect her name. But she's been fired from Breitbart, for tweeting that London wouldn't have terrorism if not for Muslims. (Which is an accurate statement, as far as I'm concerned. When was the last time we had an IRA bombing in Britain?)
I did notice that intrepid Twitter scavengers dug up some of the woman's old tweets, and indeed she posts some whack stuff. For example, she tweeted in favor of repealing the 19th Amendment as a method of rolling back welfare programs? I doubt I'd go for stripping women of the suffrage to get a handle of welfare, but it's not a fire-able opinion.
Whatever?
I think I noted yesterday that I'm not really into getting people fired for their views. Kathy Griffin's a special case. I don't feel sad for her, and as Ace noted, sometimes it's necessary to become the left to fight the left. But be careful what you wish for: the revolution always eats its own, and what goes around comes around. This kind of boycott-attack-character assassination and recrimination-style of politics will leave very few survivors. I've been down this road myself (Scott Kaufman and Carl Salonen come to mind).
In any case, via Twitter:

'Wonder Woman'
I love this movie.
The reviews were pretty enthusiastic, but then, you have to see it for yourself. Gal Gadot is lovable, but the movie itself is coherent and refreshing. I hope she stars in a whole bunch of sequels. Now that Wolverine's retired, I'll need something to keep me into the genre.

Is it Ethical to Have Children?
Of course it's ethical.
It's only unethical if you're a leftist anti-humanist.
FWIW, at the far-left Foreign Policy, "As Environmental Catastrophe Looms, Is it Ethical to Have Children?"

Ontario Canada's 'Bill 89' Authorizes Government Removal of 'Trans' Children from Christian Homes
This is bad. Extremely bad.
But then, this is exactly what leftists have been pushing for --- total power over the family unit, the demonization and destruction of God-fearing traditional parents.

TORONTO, June 5, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — LifeSiteNews has launched a petition for the repeal of the Kathleen Wynne Liberals’ Bill 89, which passed last week by a vote of 63 to 23.Keep reading.
Pro-family advocates warn the bill gives the state power to seize children from families that oppose the LGBTQI and gender ideology agenda, and allows government agencies to effectively ban couples who disagree with that agenda from fostering or adopting children.
“Make no mistake, Bill 89 is a grave threat to Christians and all people of faith who have children, or who hope to grow their family through adoption,” says Jack Fonseca, senior political strategist for Campaign Life Coalition.
“This is a direct hit against parental authority,” echoed Tanya Granic Allen, executive director of Parents As First Educators (PAFE), which along with the Association for Reformed Political Action (ARPA) has been at the forefront of lobbying against the bill.
Bill 89, or the Supporting Children, Youth and Families Act, 2017, repeals and replaces the former Child and Family Services Act that governs child protection services, and adoption and foster care services.
It adds “gender identity” and “gender expression” as factors to be considered “in the best interests of the child.”
At the same time, it deletes the religious faith in which the parents are raising the child as a factor to be considered, and mandates child protection services consider only the child’s own “creed” or “religion” when assessing the best interests of the child.
Pro-family advocates point to public comments by Minister of Child and Family Services Michael Coteau as evidence the Liberals will use Bill 89 to enforce a pro-LGBTQI, gender ideology agenda in the home.
Coteau told QP Briefing shortly after he introduced the bill that he sees questioning teenagers’ self-identification as LGBTQI or telling them to change as abuse.
“I would consider that a form of abuse, when a child identifies one way and a caregiver is saying no, you need to do this differently,” Coteau said.
“If it’s abuse, and if it’s within the definition, a child can be removed from that environment and placed into protection where the abuse stops.”
Coteau reiterated this to QP Briefing after Bill 89 passed Thursday...

Battle of Midway's 75th Anniversary in San Diego (VIDEO)
These veterans' commemorative events make my heart happy. The WWII generation is quickly passing from the scene. Few from the generation who fought the war are here today to make these anniversary events. I'm glad we still have a chance to thank them. It reaffirms our values in a most fundamental way, and hopefully passes on knowledge of past sacrifice to future generations.

After Britain Attack, Trump Feuds With London Mayor
I love Trump's tweets. I just love 'em.
I don't care what the MSM fags think.
That's the headline, cut-and-pasted above, from Memeorandum.
Plus, from idiot prog reporter Philip Rucker, at Wapo, via Memeorandum, "Trump reacts to London terror by stoking fear and renewing feud with mayor."
The leftist media is objectively pro-jihad.
