The Hill reports:

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) visited President Trump at the White House late Wednesday, bringing along musicians Ted Nugent and Kid Rock. Palin has been an outspoken supporter of Trump since his campaign, and was invited to be one of his guests during an October debate last year.

On Wednesday night, Palin, Kid Rock and Nugent were pictured in the Oval Office with the president. Nugent’s wife, Shemane Deziel and Audrey Berry, Kid Rock’s fiancee, were also at the White House and are in one of the photos. The three posed mockingly in front of a portrait of former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

The meeting was catered by Cracker Barrel.

Ben Carson At His Trump Cabinet Confirmation Hearing: “No extra rights for gay Americans.”

Ben Carson At His Trump Cabinet Confirmation Hearing: "No extra rights for gay Americans."

Trump Cabinet pick Ben Carson reiterated his belief Thursday that LGBT Americans don’t deserve “extra rights.”

During Carson’s confirmation hearing, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) pressed the Housing and Urban Development nominee about whether he would enforce LGBT protections in the public housing sector.

“Of course, I would enforce all the laws of the land,” Carson responded. “Of course, I think all Americans should be protected by the law.”

What I have said before is I don’t think anyone should get ‘extra rights,’” he added.

Carson’s remarks mirror those from his 2014 CPAC speech: “Of course gay people should have the same rights as everyone else, but they don’t get extra rights,” Carson said at the time. “They don’t get to redefine marriage.”

Carson, a conservative Christian, has often run afoul of the LGBT community, suggesting they take advantage of “political correctness.”

During a 2015 speech to the Iowa Freedom Summit, Carson addressed religious freedom concerns raised by Christian bakers who argue it violates their faith to bake wedding cakes for gay people.

“[That] is really not all that smart, because they might put poison in that cake,” Carson joked.

America has officially gone to hell.

Make America Sick Again: GOP Takes First Steps To Repealing ACA aka Obamacare

Make America Sick Again: GOP Takes First Steps To Repealing ACA aka Obamacare

Senate Republicans took the first steps towards dismantling Obamacare Tuesday afternoon, filing a budget resolution that puts the wheels in motion for “overhauling”, but in reality actually repealing the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as we know it.

The health care law has reduced the rate of uninsured Americans to the lowest ever recorded and provided health care coverage to 20 million people who previously lacked it.

After Republicans met again on Wednesday to discuss the Affordable Care Act, Vice President-elect Mike Pence came out vowing to repeal the law.

“The first order of business is to repeal and replace Obamacare, and that was our message today and that will be our message on Capitol Hill,” Pence told reporters after the meeting.

At the same time, Obama met with House Democrats to plot ways to slow the Republican drive and defend parts of his signature law. Republicans already control the House and Senate, and after Trump takes office later this month they’ll have the power to gut Obamacare.

Although repeal of the law is now almost a virtual certainty, it’s far from clear what will replace it. Republican leaders said they are exploring a variety of market-based options that would lower costs, give Americans more choice and reduce government’s role in the health care system.

Yet Republicans are expected to need a property manager? Why? Because as they work out a replacement. “We don’t want people to be caught with nothing,” said Paul Ryan, speaker of the House.

Democrats were skeptical. They contend the elimination of Obamacare will “make America sick again,” a twist on Trump’s campaign theme.

“They don’t have a replacement plan,” said Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the leader of House Democrats. “To repeal and delay is an act of cowardice” that could jeopardize the health care of millions of Americans, especially seniors who receive Medicare.

Republicans  argue that a more market-based approach will increase competition in the health-care market and lead to lower prices despite the fact that health-care costs in the U.S., already the highest in the industrial world because it is a “for profit” business.

The Affordable Care Act, signed into law in 2010 and has since benefited millions of Americans needing access to affordable health insurance—including people living with HIV and other pre-existing conditions.

An estimated 20 million Americans are liable to lose their health insurance if the ACA is repealed.

 

 

 

Simon & Schuster Faces Massive Pushback and Boycott After $250K Deal With Alt-Right Bigot Milo Yiannopoulos

Simon & Schuster Faces Massive Pushback and Boycott After $250K Deal With Alt-Right Bigot Milo Yiannopoulos

Coming just days after publishing giant  Simon & Schuster announced they had given notorious troll Milo Yiannopoulos a $250,000 book advance a widespread push back and boycott for funding extremist right views with the Chicago Review Of Books denouncing “this disgusting validation of hate” with a vow to boycott covering any of their titles released in 2017.

And despite the fact that thousands upon thousands of people have called for S&S to come to its senses and do the right and moral thing by cancelling the book deal  Simon & Schuster brazenly refuses to do so. 

In a press release on Friday Simon & Schuster that it does not condone discrimination or hate speech and said the book, which is titled “Dangerous,” is about free speech. It will be published in March by an imprint of Simon & Schuster geared to conservatives.

“We have always published books by a wide range of authors with greatly varying, and frequently controversial opinions,” Simon & Schuster said. It asked readers to “withhold judgment until they have had a chance to read the actual contents of the book.”

The Chicago Review of Books tweeted that it won’t review any Simon & Schuster books next year in an emailed statement, it said that 15 of the more than 300 books it wrote about last year were Simon & Schuster imprint books. In their place, The Chicago Review of Books said it will choose 15 books from independent and small publishers to cover.

We at Back2Stonewall.com 100% agree with a boycott and push-back campaign against Simon & Shuster for not only attempting to profit of radical extreme right hate speech but for also legitimatizing it and Yiannopoulos

We ask that you join us and thousands of others to not buy another Simon & Schuster book until they cancel their book deal and to call or email Simon & Schuster and it’s executives and let them know that you will not allow them to profit off hate. how you feel! :

Trump Security Advisor Pick Outed Her Gay Brother Who Was Dying Of AIDS To Her Parents

Trump Security Advisor Pick Outed Her Gay Brother Who Was Dying Of AIDS To Her Parents.

KT McFarland, Donald Trump’s pick for deputy national security advisor, outed her gay bother to their parents in a letter more than three decades ago before the brother, Michael Troia, died from AIDS.

The letter was made public in a 2006 New York Times profile of  McFarland who had hoped to be the Republican Party nominee to challenge Hillary Clinton when she ran for a second term in the US Senate.

McFarland lived near her brother for 10 years and said in the article: ‘I was really living a life of going to Central Park with my kids, and he was increasingly living — there was no secret about it — he was openly gay. I had no problem with that, I loved him. But I was increasingly concerned because he talked about a very promiscuous lifestyle. And it saddened me a great deal.’

But in her n a 1992 letter to their parents she reportedly wrote: ‘Have you ever wondered why I have never had anything to do with Mike and have never let my daughters see him although we live only fifteen minutes away from each other? He has been a lifelong homosexual, most of his relationships brief, fleeting one-night stands.’

After the publication of the magazine article, McFarland reportedly tried to do damage control with the following statement: ‘In seeking to put a painful past behind me, I wrote two candid letters to my parents in 1992 at the advice of a counselor. Now, in the midst of a political campaign, those letters have found their way into the hands of a magazine reporter.’

And here they are again you deplorable evil bitch.

Drunk Trump/Pence Fan In Chicago Ejected From Hamilton After Screaming “We Won! You Lost! Fuck You!”

les-deplorables

Broadway World reports that one of Trump’s many middle america “deplorables” took umbrage (which is a word that he probably wouldn’t understand) at Mike Pence’s “treatment” on Friday at a Broadway performance of the hit musical Hamilton and stood up in the middle of the musical number “Dear Theodosia.” during the Chicago tour production and screamed “We won! You lost! Get over it! F*ck you!”

One Twitter user who attended the show alleges that the audience member also shouted profanities and had an altercation with security before being removed from the auditorium. One Facebook user wrote “At the end, the performers were crying… so was I. They didn’t break characters once. They still sang their hearts out.”

An audience member has exclusively confirmed to Broadway World that the initial disturbance began after the audience member was enraged by the line “immigrants, we get the job done.” The majority of the audience cheered that specific line.

Audience members exited the auditorium to retrieve venue staff to remove the disruptive audience member. Our source confirmed that the altercation lasted for at least two numbers and that there was a struggle with security but “he didn’t throw punches.” The audience member also informed us that venue staff later said the audience member had been intoxicated.

The Trump administration and its supporters, which I hear is highly overrated, should immediately apologize to the rest of the world for their terrible behavior. The Theater must always be a safe and special place. The Trump supporter was very rude last night to a very good cast. Apologize!

Openly Gay Mayor of Holyoke, MA Receives Letter Saying, ‘You are going down.’

Openly Gay Mayor of Holyoke, MA Receives Letter Saying, ‘You are going down.’

Openly gay Holyoke, Massachusetts  Mayor Alex Morse is no stranger to letters criticizing his way of doing things. 

But a note that arrived at his home address this week was different: it targeted his being gay, and took a “threatening” tone, he said.

“Alex, you are one of the most selfish people I know due to your ‘gay’ lifestyle,” the note began. “You are going down.”

There was no return address, and no name written at the bottom.

Morse, , posted an image of the anonymous note to Facebook Friday. He said he decided to make the message public to bring awareness to what he sees as the challenges ahead, as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to enter the White House.

“It’s a more threatening message than usual, and given the context of the culture that seems to have been elevated since the Trump election, I thought it was important to shine a light on this language and behavior,” said Morse in a telephone interview. “It’s different than writing a note that says, ‘I don’t support gay marriage,’ or ‘I don’t support rights for someone.’ But to demean someone’s humanity based on their sexuality takes it to another level.”

Morse plans to have a discussion with the city’s police chief about the note, to document the incident in the event it becomes a recurring theme, he said.

Since receiving the targeted message, Morse said there has been an outpouring of support from his constituency. People have called and left messages at his office and expressed concern about the hateful scribble, he said. More than 400 people have left comments on Facebook, calling the note “sick” and “disgusting.”

“Like any community, be it in Holyoke, Mass., or anywhere else across the country, there are going to be people who are small-minded and bigoted,” he said.

But, he added, “I know that the good always outweighs the bad.”

Donald Trump Picks Rabidly Racist and Anti-Gay Jeff Sessions for Attorney General

Donald Trump Picks Rabidly Racist and Anti-Gay Jeff Sessions for Attorney General

 

Via the New York Times:

President-elect Donald J. Trump has selected Senator Jeff Sessions, a conservative from Alabama who became a close adviser after endorsing him early in his campaign, to be the attorney general of the United States, according to officials close to the transition.

Mr. Sessions was also under consideration for secretary of defense, creating debate within the Trump transition team over which job he should fill.

Mr. Sessions, a former prosecutor elected to the Senate in 1996, serves on the Judiciary Committee and has opposed immigration reform as well as bipartisan proposals to cut mandatory minimum prison sentences.

While Mr. Sessions is well liked in the Senate, his record as United States attorney in Alabama in the 1980s is very likely to become an issue for Democrats and civil rights groups expected to give it close scrutiny.

While serving as a United States prosecutor in Alabama, Mr. Sessions was nominated in 1986 by President Ronald Reagan for a federal judgeship. But his nomination was rejected by the Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee because of racially charged comments and actions. At that time, he was one of two judicial nominees whose selections were halted by the panel in nearly 50 years.

In testimony before the committee, former colleagues said that Mr. Sessions had referred to the N.A.A.C.P., the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and other civil rights groups as “un-American” and “Communist-inspired.” An African-American federal prosecutor then, Thomas H. Figures, said Mr. Sessions had referred to him as “boy” and testified that Mr. Sessions said the Ku Klux Klan was fine “until I found out they smoked pot.” Mr. Sessions dismissed that remark as a joke.

Sessions in the past Voted YES on constitutional ban of same-sex marriage. Voted NO on adding sexual orientation to definition of hate crimes and has a 0 LGBT rights voting record.

Sessions was the first GOP Senator to openly endorse Donald Trump.

“He yanked the door open, dragged me out, ripped my shirt. I was on the pavement,” said Redding.

His arm is now badly bruised, his hand cut and swollen to twice its normal size, his knee scraped, and part of his toe ripped. Redding says the driver had clearly taken note of his marriage equality and rainbow bumper stickers.

“He kept saying, ‘You know my new president says we can kill all you faggots now,’” Redding said..

Redding filed a police report:

Redding says the suspect was a Hispanic man with a beard, driving a dark colored Jeep Cherokee. He tried to run after the SUV, but it sped off  backwards down the street so he couldn’t catch a license plate number.
