The left's war on language continues unabated
[AMERICANTHINKER] The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) is removing the term "master" bedroom from all of its databases and listing services and replacing it with the politically correct phrase "primary" bedroom. According to a TRREB news release, the change was suggested by the organization's Diversity and Inclusion Task Force (DITV) to better align it with Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) practices.

The release promised that the change "will also address the negative connotations surrounding 'master' bedroom, which many Members, others in the industry, and the public on the lam associate with terminology rooted in slavery and/or sexism. We also heard some of your concerns about the offensive undertones associated with this term. We know that words matter, and this is a step forward in rethinking outdated terms and modernizing the language used in the real estate industry."

Note to the TRREB and wokesters everywhere: Banning (or bastardizing) language is not progressive; it is regressive...a step backward. When you try to ban words, you are saying one of two things about them: 1) either the word doesn't matter at all or 2) the word is so powerful that it can overwhelm your ability to rationally process it. In a sane world and to a sane person, neither should be the case.

Federal Agents of Organized Crime Raid Rudy Giuliani's NYC Apartment
[NYPost]
Giuliani's Lawyer Robert Costello told the Journal that the warrant outlined an investigation into the suspected violation of overseas lobbying regulations.

Costello also called the raids "legal thuggery," saying he'd repeatedly offered in vain to answer questions from investigators if they agreed to detail the subject of their probe.

"It's like I'm talking to a wall," he told the Journal.

Investigators in the Justice Department had tried for months to secure the search warrant, according to the Times.

BLM founder dropped $26,000 at luxury Malibu resort, Daily Caller reports
[AMERICANTHINKER] Looks like it's not just mansions for smooth operator Patrisse Cullors, who co-founded Black Lives Matter.

She's also into stretches at luxury resorts, with some very curious accounting.

According to an investigative report from the Daily Caller:

Los Angeles-based jail reform group led by BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors spent nearly $26,000 for "meetings" at a luxury Malibu beach resort in 2019, according to campaign finance records reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Reform LA Jails dropped $10,179 for "meetings and appearances" at the Calamigos Guest Ranch and Beach Club in Malibu, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, and another $15,593 at the Malibu Conference Center, a corporate conference facility owned by the resort, according to the records, which covered the time period between July and September 2019. Guests at the 200-acre resort, where rooms start at $600 a night, have exclusive access to a private five-acre strip of the Malibu coast.

The records show that the payments were made on behalf of the jail reform group by a consulting firm owned by Asha Bandele, a longtime mentor of Cullors and co-author of her 2018 biography, "When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir."

#1  Asha Bandele, revolutionary poetess, suicidal activist and wife of a certain M Rashid [ himself a 'devout muslim' and murdering jailbird who won her damaged little heart]. Bandele mentors a Patrisee Khan Cullors, who co-founds a terrorist organization that aims to take entire American cities hostage and usurp all power to defend themselves from the white christian majority. Interesting.

USPS admits it IS spying on Americans: Law enforcement arm is snooping on social media posts and 'working with other agencies' in covert operation - but won't reveal details

#1  IMO, nothing's wrong with persecuting people who use social media & making their lives hell.

#2  USPS thieves and affirmative action scoundrels in small delivery trucks, prowling neighborhoods. I am shocked that their placement and access has not been previously exploited.

Surely there are other persistent monitoring collaborations and efficiencies which could be realized.

Google, Fauci, Bueller, anyone ?

Oh, they will. Look for a 20% budget bump leading into 2022 "elections".

#6  I understand that the Post Office needs an enforcement arm to handle actual crimes against the mail. However, why the heck do they need to go trolling around in random people's social media posts looking for ..., well, stuff they don't like?
