High School Principal Forced to Apologize for Using ‘Insensitive Language’ on Prom Tickets, Here’s What They Said
This is preposterous.
We live in an unprecedented time of political correctness, a time when people are so deeply and easily offended that anything you might choose to say — and we do mean anything — could possibly be turned around on you and get you slapped with the label of “bigot” or “racist,” even if that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Just how far down the rabbit hole have we gone, Alice?
Far enough that a principal who wrote “party like it’s 1776” on prom tickets has been forced to apologize for his use of “insensitive language.”

The tickets urged students to “party like it’s 1776” during the event at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

“I am writing to apologize for the hurt feelings this reference caused for members of our school family,” wrote Perry.
“I especially apologize to our African American students, who I have let down by not initially recognizing the inappropriateness of this wording,” he added.
Perry stated that all students attending the event will receive commemorative tickets without the phrase inscribed on them.
How ridiculous is it that a country cannot celebrate it’s own founding because someone somewhere is offended by it? This sort of thing is preposterous on every conceivable level.
Look, we can all agree that slavery was a blight on our nation, a fact that many founders also believed to be true. However, they were limited in their options for being able to persuade people to dump the institution, so many went along with it — which was still wrong — laying the foundation for abolition that came later on.
However, that was 200 years ago. Look at how much better life is for people of all walks of life in America today. It’s time to move on, folks. Time to focus on the future and honor the good that happened in our past.
We must never forget the ugly reality of racism and slavery, but we should allow it to serve as a reminder of why we keep taking steps forward, rather than being a crybaby generation over the usage of a harmless phrase.

Dems Demand Bolton Testify After Book Allegedly Says Trump Withheld Ukraine Aid (Details)
‘Allegedly’ is the keyword…
Democrats really, really, really want to see former NSA John Bolton testify before Congress. They believe he knows something about President Trump and Ukraine that the administration is hiding. This is a long shot. First of all, if Bolton knew something it would’ve been leaked to a reporter by now. Secondly, as you’ll see in the Twitter thread below, Bolton’s lawyer has no clue what Dems are talking about. From MSN via NYT: President Trump told his national security adviser in August that he wanted to continue freezing $391 million in security assistance to Ukraine until officials there helped with investigations into Democrats including the Bidens, according to an unpublished manuscript by the former adviser, John R. Bolton. The president’s statement as described by Mr. Bolton could undercut a key element of his impeachment defense: that the holdup in aid was separate from Mr. Trump’s requests that Ukraine announce investigations into his perceived enemies, including former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his son Hunter Biden, who had worked for a Ukrainian energy firm while his father was in office.

Rashida Tlaib Retweets Story About Israelis Killing Palestinian Boy, But It Never Happened
The definition of ‘fake news’…
Rashida Tlaib hasn’t exactly been shy about how much she dislikes the nation of Israel. It’s quite stunning to see coming a member of Congress, if you think about. But because Rashida is a Democrat, it’s fine. The mainstream media will give her a pass for hating Israel because she’s a woman and she’s Muslim. Obviously, that doesn’t make it right. Yet, having a “D” at the end of your name can do wonderful things for a person’s career. Here’s what she retweeted: https://twitter.com/Ostrov_A/status/1221089689328869376?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1221089689328869376&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftherightscoop.com%2Frashida-tlaib-tweets-fake-story-about-israelis-killing-palestinian-boy%2F Reactions: https://twitter.com/AviKaner/status/1221097453698592769?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1221097453698592769&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftherightscoop.com%2Frashida-tlaib-tweets-fake-story-about-israelis-killing-palestinian-boy%2F https://twitter.com/KyleWOrton/status/1221096740901748737?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1221096740901748737&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftherightscoop.com%2Frashida-tlaib-tweets-fake-story-about-israelis-killing-palestinian-boy%2F During a speech in Miami, President Trump called out “the squad” in a way that not many people in the public eye ever have. And the way he did it is the exact reason he defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016, and, GOD-willing, why he’ll be re-elected this coming November. WATCH: TRUMP: “These people hate Israel — they hate Jewish people. I won’t name them. I won’t bring up the name of Omar, Tlaib, AOC — I won’t bring that name up. Won’t bring it up.” https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1213232601441460231?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1213232601441460231&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fthehill.com%2Fhomenews%2Fadministration%2F476737-trump-lashes-out-at-squad-they-hate-jewish-people From The Hill: Trump sparked outrage on Capitol Hill in August when he said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should block Tlaib and Omar from visiting the country. Israel later did so, despite earlier vows by officials to welcome any members of Congress to the country. […] Omar in particular has raised eyebrows with her comments about Israel, suggesting that powerful Jews inside and outside of Congress are pushing “allegiance to a foreign country” over their support for the state.
