"F**k Clarence Thomas!" Shouts Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot During Pride Parade

Chicago's foul-mouthed Mayor took to the stage at this weekend's Pride Parade, where she declared "fuck Clarence Thomas," following Friday's Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.

"So we know what happened in the Supreme Court yesterday. If you read Clarence Thomas’ concurrence, he said —" she said, addressing someone in the crowd, adding "Thank you. Fuck Clarence Thomas!"

"He thinks that we are going to stand idly by while they take our rights, our right to marry, our right to have children, our right to live!" she continued.

'Pride Cruiser' shown off by police 'LGBTQIA+ liaison officer' in Columbus, OH. Reaction is decidedly grim: 'This is f***ing ridiculous'

A "Pride Cruiser" got a grand "unveiling" on video, courtesy of the "LGBTQIA+ liaison officer" for the police department in Columbus, Ohio, recently.

What are the details?

The white SUV — adorned with rainbow flags and LBGTQ-themed messages such as "Love Is Love" — is parked behind the officer as he delivers the news to viewers.

"Hi, I’m Officer Lutz with the Columbus Division of Police. I’m your LGBTQIA+ liaison officer, and we're unveiling right now our Pride Cruiser for the month of June!" the officer says.

With that, Lutz steps aside as the camera trains upon the SUV from all angles and music plays in the background:

Certainly the "Pride Cruiser" has its share of supporters on Twitter, but a goodly number of folks reacting to the tweet from Columbus Police weren't exactly thrilled with the "unveiling":

"I guarantee you that most of your officers and employees are embarrassed by this nonsense," one commenter wrote.

"I'm sure that police car will strike fear in the hearts of criminals," another user guessed.

"This is a joke right?" another commenter asked. "Y’all just f***in with us."

"You are an EMBARRASSMENT to your community," another user responded. "I feel sad for your taxpayers having to fund virtue-signaling idiocy."

"You people are a joke," another commenter declared.

"This is absolutely insane," another user said. "Why R we paying for any of this? Are you guys so completely bored that you can waste time and $ on this crap? A [liaison] for the LGBTQ community … WTF do U actually do and why do we need this position? Why can't the LGBTQ community just go to any cop?"

"Openly gay shouldn’t be any different than openly heterosexual," another commenter stated. "I thought that was the whole point, but now every June we’ll be inundated with Pride??? Sheesh. Just stop already 'cause it’s gone way beyond being proud of being gay."

"I have an enormous amount of respect for [law] enforcement. I defend policing, donate $ to FOP, and rely on local police to keep my family safe," another user noted. "This is f***ing ridiculous."

West Point graduates sign letter challenging leadership of military academy

The former military officers worry that their alma mater has embraced "woke" teachings that will undermine the mission of the institution.

Several retired U.S. military officers signed a letter written by "Concerned Graduates of West Point and The Long Gray Line," which objects to mandatory vaccinations, CRT instruction, progressivism and other "woke" sentiments in the military academy.

"We wanted to challenge the leadership of the Academy and the Defense Dept on their WOKE actions, CRT, Diversity training and the other discrepancies in the Academy," retired Army Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely, told the Epoch Times.

"We found it pervasive at the Naval and Air Force Academies so we knew it was directed from the highest levels of our Military Leadership. We all want the Military to get back on track to training and leading our Armed Forces to secure America and it's Citizens," he said.

The letter, titled, "Declaration of Betrayal of West Point And the Long Gray Line," requests from the academy information in a number of areas including a justification for the mandatory COVID-19 vaccination of cadets and an explanation for reaching so-called "Critical Race Theory" at West Point.

In addition to other information, the letter also demands to know why some civilian faculty members have been permitted to become involved with political activism, violating the "long-standing policy of the Academy and Army Regulations."

And it questions the institution's "exclusive reliance upon radical progressive guest speakers to address the Corps of Cadets."

"This practice results in prejudiced political activism on the part of the Staff and Faculty in violation of Army Regulation," reads the letter.

The signees, who include a number of military officers, say they have witnessed and been informed of a modern rejection of the principles of the military academy that could ultimately endanger the institution's core and original mission to "educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country and prepared for a career or professional excellence and service to the Nation as an officer in the United States Army."
