I never met Lynn Ching. I know not whether anybody has ever met Lynn Ching, nor do I know if anybody is actually named Lynn Ching. Maybe there are dozens, or perhaps thousands, even hundreds of thousands of humans called Lynn Ching.
But whomever, wherever Lynn Ching(s) calls home, he or she would probably be at least moderately annoyed that their name sounds like lynching.
Lynching. If President Trump gets heat for using the word, I suppose the progressive Nazi word police somehow wielding power in the United States wouldn't want me using it, either.
How is it that any ethnic or socially "woke" group can dictate what words one may use in the furtherance of communication? What crop of morons -- 51 percent! -- is sprouting out of colleges, universities and other communities demanding that the First Amendment exclude "hate speech?"
Who are these people pretending authority to commandeer words and hide them from society?
If death by lynching is the issue, statistics offered by some historians regarding a tumultuous period in early American history indicate that some 3,500 black people were lynched -- right along with well over 1,000 white folks, many of whose "crimes" involved supporting black people in their quest to be free. However, in our progressive society some events, even apparently unheralded white lynchings, become invisible because they don't fit the story the left wants told.
For the more boisterous segments of society who adore free speech as long as they agree with it, folks who believe lynchings and white perpetrators go together like cups and saucers, we suppose a side-point could be made that thousands of white people died fighting against slavery during the Civil War -- but who cares about that?
So what are we to do about entities carrying "lynch" as part of their identity? Should Lynchburg be changed on the maps to, oh, say -- Necktie Party, Virginia?
Should actress Jane Lynch change her name to Jane Hang?
We suspect a lynch mob would be forced under current standards of social justice to be called a white privilege gang, while a lyncher who carries out the deed would always be a white supremacist, no matter the skin color.
Lynch pins? Uh uh. Obliterate that bad boy from our vocabulary altogether, and ban such naughtily-named objects from ever again being used to hold a wheel or other object in place. After all, what's more important, banning words that bother some people? Or maintaining safety and structure in key mechanical components? Obviously, it's the former.
Worst of all, Lynn Ching absolutely must change that name in a reasonable period of time, as such insulting surnames will surely be censored by progressive law.
Goodbye Al-Baghdadi and all the body parts accompanying him (no organ donor there). Some 12 hours later, President Trump attended a World Series baseball game, and even then progressive stadium crowds could barely contain themselves, shouting "Lock him up! Lock him up!" Of course, the accommodating media were more than happy to accentuate this tiny, disrespectful moment of the President's day.
Snot-nosed Microsoft babies: The Pentagon's multi-billion dollar deal with Microsoft, as one may expect, has pissed off the terminally pissed-off among the young and progressive computer generation who fail to understand that wars involve more than their own country. We should not be surprised, watching as we do the utterly illogical, dangerous and insane activities and "teaching" which rot young minds on college campuses all over the country. In our opinion, for all their computer brilliance, these kids were raised in situations which failed to let them grow up and become rational adults. Can't wait for the future. . .
Which begs another question: Google, what the hell are you doing with China? STOP helping them become an increasing military and social threat (Microsoft snot-nosed babies, please take note) to the world. If the United States isn't hot on Google's operations and intent regarding China (oh, by the way, hello NBA!), something is dreadfully out of place.
CBS-TV's 60 Minutes: Nice job throwing softballs to Joe Biden Sunday. Looks like we'll need to wait a bit longer for the truth, perhaps once the Inspector General's report comes out and the FULL Ukraine/Democrat story begins to unravel -- if the complicit media can handle facts anymore.
Funny, too, how the CBS program spent only seconds on the video of Biden actually saying everything about a Ukraine deal that Trump is accused of.
Drinking 'em up at the The Last Chance Saloon: Apparently at the end of their rope as the realization that next year's elections may seal their doom for years to come, "justice-minded" Democrats continue to drink impeachment highballs in the congressional Star Chamber Bar, intoxicated and driven by deluded images of seeing Trump thrown out of Office so they can get some modicum of revenge over his perfectly legal electoral success in 2016. This blatant attempt to put up a Democrat pre-damage smokescreen, not helped at all by having Schiff and Nadler in tow, is doomed to ricochet severely -- unless, of course, Republicans do what they excel at, and that is deteriorating into a puddle of goo instead of standing up for themselves as Democrats consistently endeavor to steal the show by hook and by crook. Me, I'll remain on the Independent side.
Change Halloween's day? Those intent upon making Halloween more convenient for young trick-or-treaters and their parents by legislatively changing its occurrence to weekends need to be cautious. Real witches won't like the change, and if this goes anywhere it won't be long before online petitions appear demanding that Christmas be celebrated on December 32nd and that the Easter Bunny change its sex. Hmm -- then again, did we ever know for sure whether E.B. was male or female?
