At first, I thought this post would only be about the first item but, as with most things in my life, it became a snowball gathering bits of information until this post became what it is below.
- As a follow-up to the Benghazi hearings on October 22, 2015, here's more information.
- A reporter asks a question & then is escorted out of the room? Yes, it happened.
- There's a vote in Houston today for Proposition 1. The Texas Values Coalition notes these five things:
- The ordinance will allow men access to women’s bathrooms, shower rooms, and locker rooms (any “place of public accommodation”).
- The ordinance would force employers and private business owners to violate their religious and moral convictions.
- The ordinance promotes government-backed discrimination by seeking to criminalize opposition to homosexual and transgender behavior.
- The ordinance equates race with sexual conduct.
- The ordinance increases government interference in the private sector by mandating employment of homosexual and transgendered persons.
- Quote: "Ten thousand children are killed every single year by our completely unregulated gun industry that has fewer safety measures in place than the window blinds market!!!"
- Later, this Editor's Note was added:
Editor’s note: An earlier version of this opinion essay misstated the number of children killed every year by guns. 10,000 children are killed or injured by guns every year, according to American Academy of Pediatrics.
- Oops, not quite that many:
- 11,961 total homicides. Only 1,085 victims under 18. Not 10,000 by gun.
- These are good debate questions: http://www.erickontheradio.com/2015/11/ask-these-debate-questions-to-the-candidates/
