How the Grinch stole common sense

Yosemite Sam, Elmer Fudd and more recently Kermit the Frog were marched to the canceled court. Even Mr. Potato Head was escorted off the toy shelf this past week! Now the long arm of cancel culture has invaded the world of all things, Dr. Suess! All this as the Equality Act is passed in the United States House of Representatives this week. Missouri Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler condemned the bill Tuesday on the House floor. “The so-called Equality Act jeopardizes the wellbeing of our children. It jeopardizes the role of parents, the privacy and safety of vulnerable women, the competitive edge of female athletes, the livelihoods of charities and businesses and the integrity of our healthcare system.” It sticks the government’s long talons into practically every area of life.

Maine basketball fans have seen Amy Vachon from her playing days at Cony High School, to her time wearing a UMaine uniform, to becoming a high school coach and winning titles at what was known as Mcauley high school in southern Maine, to joining the Black Bears women s coaching staff and becoming the UMaine head coach and winning conference titles, and leading the Bears to another regular season conference championship this year.

The Conservative Action Project, a coalition of conservative groups and leaders, released a memorandum entitled: “Neera Tanden is Unfit to Lead the Office of Management and Budget.”
The coalition hopes to disseminate the memo across social media and other platforms to put pressure on Senators to oppose President Joe Biden nominating Tanden, who has a far-left policy record, including during her tenure as president of the left-wing Center for American Progress.
The memo stated:
Conservatives strongly oppose the confirmation of Neera Tanden to lead the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
It is critical that the OMB director lead the agency with sound judgment, as well as bipartisan civility. Tanden has shown neither.
