What a week! I think we won it.

On Monday we had AG Lynch putting the full weight of the Justice Department behind transgender people.

Let me also speak directly to the transgender community itself. Some of you have lived freely for decades. Others of you are still wondering how you can possibly live the lives you were born to lead. But no matter how isolated or scared you may feel today, the Department of Justice and the entire Obama Administration wants you to know that we see you; we stand with you; and we will do everything we can to protect you going forward. Please know that history is on your side. This country was founded on a promise of equal rights for all, and we have always managed to move closer to that promise, little by little, one day at a time. It may not be easy – but we’ll get there together.

--AG Lynch

Today the Department of Education joined in, issuing guidelines that say that "transgender students deserve a supportive and nondiscriminatory school environment.

There is no room in our schools for discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on the basis of their sex. This guidance gives administrators, teachers and parents the tools they need to protect transgender students from peer harassment and to identify and address unjust school policies.

"But though, speaking for myself, I thus admit the possibility of revelation. I totally disbelieve that the almighty ever did communicate any thing to man by any mode of speech in any language . . . .

Obama To Honor Nordic Nations

Submitted by fugwb on Fri, 05/13/2016 - 11:24am

So I was cruising through CNN to see their latest clinton propaganda and ran across this story about Obama honoring the Nordic Nations who are in DC for a summit. Here's an Obama quote as he's musing to his aides.

"Why can't all countries be like the Nordic countries?"

This is then followed up by Charles Kupchan, Obama's top adviser for European affairs.
