I thought nothing political is allowed. The Blaze is an extremely conservative publication founded by Glenn Beck. Before posting something like this, please perform your due diligence.
PRICELESS!! I remember years ago there was a bumper sticker that said, "Don't like police, call a hippy"B-R-I-N-G-G-G-G-G
"9-1-1. What is your emergency?"
"Someone is breaking into my house! Please send the police!"
"I'm sorry, the police department has been defunded and there are no more officers. I can schedule a crisis counselor to come to your house and mediate between you and the intruder, if you'd like. There is an opening next Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. Would you like me to set that time?"
"BUT HE HAS A GUN!"
"In that case, I can schedule a social worker to meet with him and offer him alternate methods to obtaining the luxuries he desires. We are scheduling appointments in late November."
"No, I have a gun, too. I'll just shoot him and we'll straighten it out when the crisis counselor gets here on Tuesday. Thank you for your help." CLICK.
Thank you OP, also posts # 2, 3 and 12
GeorgiaX:Yes, Glen Beck is an idiot, anything he is involved with must be verified by other sources.
Goggle says: " Minneapolis City Council concerned with rising crime rate."
However, the source quoted was Fox News which is only one or two pegs up from Beck.
The 'Fake News' of our society makes one wonder, "Well, is that really true?"

Where's my stimulus check?
'It's coming, just be patient.'
Patient, be patient, I'll be patient-a Covid 19 patient by the time you'll cut my check!
Precisely, pretty much another yellow journalism outlet.The Blaze is an extremely conservative publication founded by Glenn Beck. Before posting something like this, please perform your due diligence.
"Woke" means being aware of all the injustice in the world and being willing to do something about it. That's the theory. In practice it means, as you said, being hyper-sensitive to all slights, real and perceived.The aspect of this "woke" thing that I don't get is this...
Somebody comes up with the concept, but if nobody pays it any attention, it would go nowhere. So what I don't understand is how or why people buy into this stuff and blindly follow it with no thought through it to see the problems it causes.
I have only recently been seeing this term "woke". At first it was just one reference, but it has been showing up in the media with rapidly increasing frequency. From what I have read, the term refers to being "awake" and ultra-sensitive to any possible perceived wrong doing, however slight. If that is true, then nobody could pass its muster since it is still true that "he who is without guilt can cast the first stone".
