I invite you to comment, Kurt. It shouldn't be difficult for you to provide the URL, post title or Meme(s). It shouldn't take long to recall what it was that I published since it apparently had such a dramatic effect on you.
I go out of my way in avoiding blog conflict. 99% of the time I let it go. In this case though, this accusation of "hate" was so egregious, Kurt dropped me from his link list. Fine. But if he can let me know what upset him, that'd be great, since there isn't any "hate", anywhere, on this blog.
Anyone else feeling the same way? The comments section - while moderated - is open and all yours. Have at it, even the Anon Trolls. Adhere to MY COMMENT policies, though, if you want it published.
Comments of: "Boo-hoo-hoo, you criticized, 'muh precious Israel'", doesn't don't count. You'll have to walk that off. Save yourself the keystrokes if that's all ya got.

FOX News (MSN): Hamline University professor fired for showing images of Muhammad had warned students in syllabus.
A Minnesota liberal arts professor who was allegedly fired after showing students images of Muhammad in a class about Islamic art warned students about the works in the syllabus.
Erika López Prater, an adjunct professor at Hamline University, issued a syllabus warning students that the class would contain images of holy figures, including the prophet Muhammad and the Buddha, according to a New York Times report Sunday. Students were told they could contact her with any concerns about the course material, but none did, according to the report.
Prater also reportedly warned students that a painting containing an image of Muhammad was going to be displayed a few minutes ahead of time, giving anyone who might be offended by such imagery an opportunity to leave the classroom.
Despite the multiple warnings, a senior student in the class later complained to administrators about the imagery and picked up support from Muslim students who were not in the class, resulting in Prater not being welcomed back to the school and setting off national controversy surrounding academic freedom.
Some people were offended by something they didn't see!
NY Post: Woke college students are ‘hurt’ by supposedly ‘phallic’ abstract sculpture.
Sir Anthony Gormley used steel blocks to create his piece called “Alert,” which was meant to portray a human squatting, but the students think it appears more equivalent to an “erect penis” instead.
With the art set to be installed this year in a plaza on campus, Gormley released a statement that appeared on the school’s website.
“Through the conversion of anatomy into an architectural construction I want to re-assess the relation between body and space. Balancing on the balls of the feet while squatting on its haunches and surveying the world around it, the attitude of this sculpture is alive, alert and awake,” he wrote.
The student union was less than impressed and released a statement of their own that was obtained by the Guardian. They were concerned the sculpture would ruin the school’s reputation.
Imperial College has a reputation? Does the student union think it's a "good" one?
Talk about Liberal Fragility.
No surprise here Lil' Miss Hogg has "Under The Sea" immediately available to play on his cell phone. Ima guess it's his favorite dance tune.
(GASP!) Fragile Liberals in a public setting insisting they have to be "asked" before they're filmed? Doesn't work that way. Lil' Miss Hogg has made his (or her, I'm sure the Hogg's preferred pronouns include both) entire livelihood of filming others without their "permission."
Miss Hogg and Miss Zeller...what a couple of fragile, triggered tampons.🤣
NY Amsterdam News (Archived): Tone deaf corporate America blasted for trying to ‘own Juneteenth’.
Social media users and others have lashed out at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis for offering a pre-packaged watermelon salad as part of its Juneteenth menu.
The museum circulated a photo of the salad as it invited the public to its Juneteenth celebration.
“This is ridiculous and a mockery of Juneteenth,” Twitter user @WishYaHadAlexis wrote. “I’ve never had a watermelon salad or even heard of it. SMH.”
Another Twitter user, @MajorFactor2, said, “There can’t possibly be any Black folks in these boardrooms when decisions like this are being made.” ("Black folks" ????? - DD)
Initially, museum officials attempted to justify the offensive gaffe by noting that the watermelon salad has remained a staple in their food court’s manager’s family’s Juneteenth celebration.
Later, they released a statement apologizing.
“As a museum, we apologize and acknowledge the negative impact that stereotypes have on communities of color,” officials wrote. “The salad has been removed from the menu.

Walmart came under fire earlier after the chain issued a new flavor of its ice cream and called it “Juneteenth.”

“Juneteenth simply cannot be owned.”

NY Post: Ilhan Omar slammed for criticizing video showing people singing Christian songs on plane.
Rep. Ilhan Omar has come under fire for deriding a video showing passengers singing Christian songs aboard a plane – and wondering what might happen if her Muslim family also held a “prayer session” on a flight.
The Minnesota Democrat shared the video in which two people are seen singing the spiritual songs in the aisle on an EasyJet flight, the Daily Dot reported.
“I think my family and I should have a prayer session next time I am on a plane. How do you think it will end?” the Muslim “Squad” member wrote.
“I think my family and I should have a prayer session next time I am on a plane. How do you think it will end?” the Muslim “Squad” member wrote.
Gee, I dunno Ilhan. How many Christians flew airplanes into buildings? How many Christians have committed horrific and violent acts on mosques, Jews and Christians? How many Christians have beheaded Moslims? How many Christian gangs are raping women in European countries?
Omar's tweet and some of the replies:
He has a long record of being disruptive and a public nuisance. Here's just one example.A protester donning a pink suit and bandana mask was arrested Sunday afternoon at a COVID-19 field hospital in New York City's Central Park that is being run by an evangelical group whose leader has a long history of anti-LGBTQ beliefs.
“They have no business being in New York City,” the protester, William Talen, 69, shouted as six New York City Police Department officers, one of whom appeared to be carrying Talen’s rainbow flag, removed him from the park. “They are the virus.”
The 68-bed field hospital is run by Samaritan’s Purse, an evangelical Christian humanitarian organization run by Franklin Graham, son of the late Rev. Billy Graham.
[.]
Samaritan’s Purse is working with the Mount Sinai Health System, a New York City hospital network, to address the overflow of patients due to the coronavirus pandemic. In a statement emailed to NBC News on Monday, a Mount Sinai spokesperson said all staff within its hospital system, including the Samaritan’s Purse field hospital, “will adhere” to Mount Sinai’s “principles and guidelines when it comes to not discriminating against patients or staff.”
Originally established in 1885 in recognition of President George Washington, the holiday became popularly known as Presidents' Day after it was moved as part of 1971’s Uniform Monday Holiday Act[.]
[.]
Did you know? Presidents' Day never falls on the actual birthday of any American president. Four chief executives—George Washington, William Henry Harrison, Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan—were born in February, but their birthdays all come either too early or late to coincide with Presidents' Day, which is always celebrated on the third Monday of the month.
Buy it! We'll need the extra ice during the next six-plus years. Plus, we can look forward to Triggered Liberals screeching that, "Trump is Empire Building!"Donald Trump has discussed trying to buy Greenland for the US, according to US reports.
The US president's proposal, which was first reported in the Wall Street Journal, has come with “varying degrees of seriousness”, though he has apparently gone as far as seeking the view of the White House counsel.
Mr Trump discussed the idea at a dinner last year at which he said he had heard Denmark found the financial support to the territory burdensome, the Journal reported.
Suggesting the US purchase the island, he reportedly asked the other guests: “What do you guys think about that?”
Some possible changes could be coming to an age-old part of Uptown Minneapolis. Plans from the Park Board could potentially reduce the amount of parking on part of the plaza.
[.]
For more than a century, the Uptown Mall has been a shady oasis in one of the most densely-populated neighborhoods in the city.
Some neighbors worry possible changes to the park could cause it to lose its character.
“This is like going to St. Anthony Main and ripping up all the bricks,” said Uptown resident Steven Taylor. “Uptown doesn’t want that.”
Last spring, the Park Board released a new design to update the median between Hennepin Avenue and East lake of the Isles Parkway that would include a new plaza and play area by the Walker Library, a connection to the Midtown Greenway and community and rain gardens.
Park Board officials say a Community Advisory Committee is also considering getting rid of the streets in the two blocks closest to Lake of the Isles and turning them into green space for multi-use fields and a sand volleyball court.
“It was quite shocking for the community to hear about,” said East Isles Residents Assocation Ellen Van Iwaarden. (GASP! The Progs were shocked! Triggered! They didn't see it coming. - DD)
The East Isles Residents Association says neighbors are split on the possible plans for the park.
“There are some people who are absolutely for it, who think we shouldn’t be designing our parks around cars,” Van Iwaarden said. “But there are many who live in the apartments and park there.”
Nobody wants to tarnish one of the city’s hidden gems.
“I’m not opposed to getting rid of parking for the right reasons,” Taylor said. “I don’t think volleyball courts is the right reasons [sic].”
Students at a California college received an apology and were offered counseling services after being sent an email about employment opportunities with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol.
California State University in San Bernardino sent an apology to students who “experienced distress” after the career center sent a flyer from USCBP announcing that “U.S. Border Patrol is Now Hiring!”
Veteran and military recruitment webinars being offered during the week were promoted by USCBP in the flyer which was forwarded to students.
The career center at CSUSB really didn’t think this one through. There is already underrepresentation [sic] of our undocumented students at this campus and this was to say the least – thoughtless. pic.twitter.com/v2aSGqNPxh

Complaints to the school’s career center came in from the liberal students who were apparently triggered by the message.
CSUSB really sent out a Border Patrol Recruitment email to a school where over 60% is HISPANIC.

Wow $90k, I’d sell my soul to the devil first before i join border patrol.

While the school’s response did not note what the offensive part of the Border Patrol recruitment flyer was, their message was a pointed apology that pandered to the sensitive snowflakes.
Outrageous:
Cal State San Bernardino is apologizing for sending an email promoting employment opportunities with the US Border Patrol
Students complained the emails were “triggering” & the school is offering counseling.

“The Career Center sincerely apologizes for the email sent to students on Monday, August 5, 2019, regarding the employment webinars offered by the U.S. Border Patrol,” the message read.
“We recognize that some recipients experienced distress due to the contents of the message, and we acknowledge the validity of your concerns. Please know that the Career Center is committed to informing students about employment opportunities while also considering the safety and well-being of all members of the campus community,” it continued.
The far-left New York Times caved to the leftist Twitter mob with a major switch in headlines between its first and second editions.Liberals...Outraged and Triggered by their own
The first print edition’s headline read, “Trump Urges Unity Vs. Racism.”
But after the Blue Checkmark Mafia freaked out, the Times caved with a late edition headline that reads, “Assailing Hate But Not Guns.”
The Hi-larity ensuing Easily Triggered DEM Socialists of America video and Twitter thread is at Ian Miles Cheong. I've edited the three video clips into one, below:Democratic socialists earned some ridicule this weekend after video clips from their annual convention—which showed attendees objecting to clapping, disruptive chatter, and the use of gendered language on grounds that all of these things were triggering—appeared online.
One person took to the podium to thank his fellow comrades for waving their hands in the air instead of clapping, since sudden, loud noises can be harmful for the easily perturbed members of the audience.
"We have a lot of disabled comrades," he said. He reminded everyone to "avoid hissing, avoid waving banners, there's all sorts of things."
