Vice President Harris announces her pronouns and provides a description of her attire at roundtable event



Vice President Kamala Harris provided her pronouns and a brief description of her attire at a roundtable event on Tuesday

The event occurred on the 32nd anniversary of the date when President George H.W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act into law. Harris indicated that the meeting would involve discussion about how the recent Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization Supreme Court ruling will impact individuals with disabilities — last month, the high court issued the decision which enables states to ban abortions.

Harris noted at the beginning of the event that she uses she/her pronouns, and she described herself as a "woman ... wearing a blue suit."

The vice president's decision to announce her pronouns comes as many liberals continue to peddle radical leftist gender ideology, which involves the notion that biological men can identify as women, and vice versa.

Her comments attracted significant attention on social media.

"One of the many aspects that makes this so stupid is that Kamala is describing her clothing in order to help the visually impaired, and yet she's pointlessly wearing a mask which needlessly alienates the hearing impaired," tweeted conservative commentator Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire.

GOP Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas commented on the vice president's remarks by tweeting, "But what is a woman?"

"How does she know though....about the woman thing.... or the blue thing for that matter," Harmeet Dhillon tweeted.

"If she would repudiate woke inanities and move towards a commonsensical centrism, she would be embraced by a majority of Americans. Instead, she just digs in," Christina Sommers tweeted.

"Progressivism is a cult," Newsweek opinion editor Josh Hammer tweeted.

"And they wonder why ordinary Americans think these people have lost their grip," Dan McLaughlin of National Review Online tweeted.

"You know this was a meeting with disability advocates, right? Common courtesy might not be something the RNC understands, but most Americans think we should have more of it. Go on ridiculing people for being nice though," Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois tweeted, referring to the Republican National Committee.

On Mother's Day, Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth says, 'every mom deserves a Senator that is prepared to codify their right to choose into law'



Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois advocated for pro-choice legislation on Mother's Day.

"Flowers and cards are wonderful—but this Mother’s Day, every mom deserves a Senator that is prepared to codify their right to choose into law," a tweet on the lawmaker's "@SenDuckworth" account declared.

In response to the post on the senator's account, someone tweeted, "It is profoundly offensive (though not surprising) to use Mother's Day as an opportunity to promote killing babies."

"Calling for killing babies on Mother’s Day. These Leftists are evil," someone else tweeted in response to the senator's post.

"These people are awful — it’s Mother’s Day, and they’re using it to push forward their radical and sick agenda of abortion," someone else declared.

A leaked draft majority opinion of a pending U.S. Supreme Court case indicates that the court is poised to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling. The draft is not an official ruling, but pro-choice advocates have been up in arms about the possibility that the high court may make such a move.

"Abortion presents a profound moral question. The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives," the draft opinion states.

In a statement last week, Duckworth said, "I will keep working to convince my colleagues in the Senate that we must act to codify Roe v. Wade into law so that every American has equal access to basic, necessary healthcare—regardless of which state they live in, the color of their skin or the size of their income."

The lawmaker, who has served in the Senate since early January 2017, is seeking re-election during the 2022 midterms — she previously served in the U.S. House of Representatives.

In a tweet on her "@TammyDuckworth" Twitter account on Sunday, Duckworth said, "Happy Mother's Day to all the moms and mother figures who work so hard to give their kids better opportunities and the best life possible. The least we could do is protect their right to choose, expand affordable child care and establish universal paid leave."

Leftists charged in Lancaster rioting learn — to the tune of $1 million bail each — their antics don't fly in Pennsylvania Dutch Country



A Pennsylvania judge threw ye olde book at nine fine people charged in connection to riots in Lancaster over the weekend — and alas none of them could scare up the cash to post bail, which was set for each at $1 million, the New York Post reported.

Where, oh, where is Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler — and the get-out-of-jail-with-no-bail policy that rioters in his city love — when you need him?

What are the details?

Riots broke out Sunday over the fatal shooting of a knife-wielding man by police. It was the usual M.O. A mob marched to the police station and threw glass bottles, rocks, bricks, gallon jugs filled with liquid, and plastic road barricades at cops, police told the Post.

But police managed to arrest over a dozen people around 3 a.m. Monday, the paper said.

Twelve adults — Jamal Shariff Newman, 24; Barry Jones, 30; Frank Gaston, 43; Yoshua Dwayne Montague, 23; Matthew Modderman, 31; Talia Gessner, 18; Kathryn Patterson, 20; Taylor Enterline, 20; T-Jay Fry, 28; Dylan Davis, 28; Lee Alexander Wise, 29; Jessica Marie Lopez, 32 — face felony and misdemeanor charges, including arson, riot, institutional vandalism, and criminal conspiracy, the Post said, adding that Montague also faces a charge of illegal possession of a firearm.

A 16-year-old male also was arrested on charges of riot, disorderly conduct, possession of instruments of crime, possession of a small amount of marijuana, propulsion of missiles onto a roadway, and institutional vandalism, the paper added.

Ouch!

And with that, Magisterial District Judge Bruce A. Roth set bail for nine of the defendants — Newman, Jones, Montague, Modderman, Gessner, Patterson, Enterline, Fry, and Davis — at $1 million each, the Post said, adding that court records show all of them were unable to post the cash.

They're being held at the Lancaster County Prison, the paper said, adding that bail information for Lopez wasn't available and Wise's bail was set at $100,000, which also was a tad too rich for his blood. Gaston was on probation and a detainer would be lodged against him, police said, the Post reported.

'Politically motivated attack'

Social justice advocacy group Lancaster Stands Up claimed Patterson and Enterline were working as "medics" when they were arrested, the Post said.

"The absurdly high bail amounts indicate that what we're seeing is not a measured pursuit of justice, but a politically motivated attack on the movement for police reform and accountability," the group tweeted, according to the paper.

More from the Post:

Lancaster Stands Up then called on a number of elected officials, including Lancaster Mayor Danene Sorace and Gov. Tom Wolf, "to step in and defend Taylor, Kathryn and other peaceful protestors against the politically motivated actions of local law enforcement, prosecutors and judges."

Jumping the gun again?

Turns out that just after the shooting, social media posts claimed police killed an unarmed, autistic teenager. But bodycam video of the shooting was quickly released, and officials revealed the deceased was a 27-year-old man who chased the officer with a knife.

But it seemed — as with other riots this summer — the initial rumors were just too good to pass up for rioters.

Lancaster police said the local district attorney is now investigating the incident to determine whether lethal force was legally justifiable in the case.

The man killed by police was later identified as Ricardo Munoz, the Associated Press reported. He was set to go to trial in October on charges he slashed four people last year, the Post added.
