Alina Baraz - "Feels Right" is the song of the day and this is the OPEN THREAD for right now . . .
"Equity" has become the new buzz word of the racial grievance industry. Using it helps them avoid demanding "quotas" and "preferences," which is really where they're heading.
ReplyDeleteI would check city hall as the origin of the smoke. CH has lots of it, and mirrors.

ReplyDeleteWatch Lee's Summit schools go down as the racists blacks take over with their laziness and cries of suppression! Maybe if they kneel before class it will make everything all better.
8:52 FTW, like Chuck and Super Dave seldoms says anything but when they do it's the truth.
ReplyDeleteHeadline: Local breweries seek attention by political virtue signaling.
ReplyDeleteThe breweries typically brew and bottle before the labels are even printed; approval can occur at any point after that. Its unfortunate that they feel the need to politicize themselves; they are not being affected at all by this non approval. That said, I truly don't know WTF the BATF should have to do with anything label related. Frankly I don't see the purpose of the BATF regulating State commerce period. Breweries are permitted on a local and state level, alcohol content is regulated on a State level, facility inspections on a County level. Anyone of those agencies could determine "appropriateness" of a fvkin' label. For those wondering, I don't know WTF the Fed is doing regulating drugs on a Federal level either. It is a State right to do so.
