With all of the violence in opposition to spiritual establishments we’ve witnessed prior to now yr, you’d suppose leftists would know higher.
I’m amazed at what people like Lemon will do to remain related, particularly when he was reportedly faraway from his job for discrimination.

The disrespectful means he spoke to the pastor was disgusting.

It doesn’t matter what the pastor does in his spare time and if he’s an ICE agent; to assault him and others as a result of of their faith is sacrilege.

The Issue: A Brooklyn mural of murdered Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska partly funded by Elon Musk.
It’s wonderful how paying tribute and remembering an harmless life misplaced is taken into account controversial by some people.
Only the left can act like that (“Mural madness,” Jan. 17).
If they suppose a easy mural is an assault on their leftist woke insurance policies, it could be time for an outdated axiom: “If the shoe fits . . .”

The mural of Iryna Zarutska would have happy everybody had it been created and posted by the precise people, for the precise motive.
When I first noticed a picture of the mural, I assumed it was a heartfelt tribute funded by fellow Ukrainians, family, neighbors or buddies of Iryna who wished to honor her.
Instead, this was an appalling use of this poor lady’s death, to not honor her, however to make use of her title and face for political propaganda.
Iryna was killed in North Carolina.
Her death had nothing to do with Brooklyn.
Eoghan McCabe and Elon Musk ought to hold their heads in disgrace for exploiting her tragic finish for his or her nefarious motive to caste blame on Democrats.
