American Silliness, Nov 3, 2017

California is a good place to start for things like this:

California girl, 5, who set up $1 lemonade stand to raise money for a new bike is told by officials four months later to pay $25 for a BUSINESS LICENSE  This made news in the United Kingdom!


Autumn Thomasson, five, proudly sold $70 worth of lemonade and candy to buy herself a new bicycle in June. This week, her mother received a citation from city officials claiming she needed a business license and asking them to pay $25 to obtain one retroactively

 received a citation from city officials claiming she needed a business
license and asking them to pay $25 to obtain one retroactively 


. . . "The letter was sent in response to that complaint but they have since retracted their demand for the $25 fee. 
'There's no excuse why it should have been sent." . . . 

Liberal Reporter Bashes Trump  . . . "After being asked what he thought about Trump’s response to the NYC terrorist, Stokols left viewers downright shocked with what he accidentally let slip on live television. As it turns out, the man asked why he didn’t do the same for the white gunman involved in the recent Las Vegas shooting.
"Yes, he’s referring to the white shooter who is already dead when criticizing Trump for not saying that the dead gunman should also get the death penalty." . . . 
"BLM leader" writes that white people who are inheriting property should consider selling it to minority families  . . . “If you are a developer or realty owner of multi-family housing, build a sustainable complex in a black or brown blighted neighborhood and let black and brown people live in it for free.” . . .
Michelle Obama claims men are 'entitled' and 'self-righteous'  . . . "It's surprising that Michelle Obama would fail to recognize the evolution in society and portray women as both victim and enabler."

Mathematics Is Not 'White'  . . . "We have seen the consequences of such P.C. madness in other professions.  Just consider one example outside education: firefighters are expected to climb four flights of stairs carrying a heavy load of nasty, necessary rescue gear in a specific and short time limit.  What to do if an applicant for this heroic job cannot?  Most of us would say, "Sorry.  You don't pass."  Would our lady professor argue that the firefighter test is  "white"? " . . .
