{ americanthinker.com } ~ And so another notch is marked on the belt of political correctness. This time, it's Papa John himself... John Schnatter has been excommunicated from the company he began in the broom closet of his father's tavern. Since 1984, Papa John's Pizza has become one of the most successful chains in America, with almost 5,000 locations and providing jobs to countless individuals from all facets of society. Schnatter lost it all this week, including his name on a football stadium and a business school. His offense? Referring to irrevocable history about the founder of a competing franchise during a conference call, though inappropriate vernacular has never been ascribed to Schnatter himself. Once upon a time, Schnatter could have spoken of Colonel Sanders's ingrained culture without consequence. And once upon a time, Blazing Saddles was produced. Mel Brooks often laments that his comedy masterpiece could never be made today. But in 1974, the art of thinking without being offended was not lost. Sane people were not actively searching out cause for their feelings to be bruised. David Howard learned much the same in 1999. The aide to the mayor of Washington, D.C. used the word "niggardly" in discussing the city's budget. "Niggardly" is a ye olde English publick word for stinginess. It has nothing to do with any racial epithet. But merely the sound of its first two syllables enunciated together evoked official complaint. Howard was compelled to resign, though he later was offered his position back. He declined... https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/07/the_inthinkables.html

Rep. Pocan asserted, “President Trump’s blanket directive to round up and target all undocumented immigrants underscores the unchecked power which ICE has used to terrorize our communities. From conducting raids at garden centers and meatpacking plants to targeting families outside churches and schools, the president is using ICE as a mass-deportation force to rip apart the moral fabric of our nation.”
On the contrary, House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) opined, “ dummycrats-Democrats have been trying to make July 4th about abolishing ICE, which is a radical, extreme position that would lead to open borders and undermine America’s national security. I think it’s the wrong approach. I think everyone ought to be on record about where they stand on that issue.”
However, “House GOP leaders have scrapped a floor vote on a dummycrats-Democratic measure calling for the abolishment of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” The Hill now reports. “Instead, the House will vote Wednesday on a resolution — authored by Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) — to support ICE, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told reporters on Monday.”
McCarthy stated, “What I found so interesting is the dummycrats-Democrats introduced a bill to abolish ICE… [W]e give them an opportunity, and they say they don’t want to vote for it.” Which is exactly why Republicans should have forced a vote. AshLee Strong, spokeswoman for Speaker Ryan, declared: “After being called on their bluff, dummycrats-Democrats ran scared from their own bill. dummycrats-Democrats will now have the chance to stand with the majority of Americans who support ICE and vote for this resolution, or follow the extreme voices on the far left calling for abolishment of an agency that protects us.”
We’ve seen this about-face too many times before. Republicans — both during Barack liar-nObama’s tenure and now — have been given numerous opportunities to put dummycrats- Democrats on record, yet they’ve balked almost every time citing political fallout.dummycrats-Democrat leaders did not want to be forced to defend their party members who voted to abolish ICE — an idea that voters oppose — and now they won’t have to. The Republicans’ list of political blunders just got a little longer.

Oh what can go wrong, these liberal dummycrats-dems think they know all the answers, they are totally wrong in all ways of issues and they can't even think back to want they did and yet they blame the pres and want him removed. I just hope the people of ca and other places will wake up and see the wrong they have done.
we know what is happening and who is really responsible for the insanity.
