Do you think Trump is right?

A teacher who was fired for calling one of his students by the “wrong” pronoun during the heat of the moment is suing the school district that dismissed him, claiming the termination violated his religious rights.

Peter Vlaming, a French teacher at West Point High School in Virginia, was fired in December of 2018 after misgendering a female student who had begun identifying as male, according to CNN.

Vlaming had told the district that he couldn’t “in good conscience” call the student by he/him/his pronouns because of his religious beliefs, he claims in his suit.

“Mr. Vlaming’s conscience and religious practice prohibits him from intentionally lying, and he sincerely believes that referring to a female as a male by using an objectively male pronoun is telling a lie,” the suit reads.

However, he says that he used the student’s male name and avoided all pronouns. That wasn’t good enough for the school, which the suit claims tried to force him to use the pronouns.

Eventually, the situation came to a head during a virtual reality exercise in the classroom; as the student in question was walking in one direction, Vlaming exclaimed, “Don’t let her hit the wall!”

According to the suit, the student waited until class was out to confront him.

“Mr. Vlaming, you may have your religion,” the student allegedly said, “but you need to respect who I am!”

He was fired by the school board in a unanimous 5-0 vote last December.

During the board meeting in which he was fired, Vlaming insisted that he didn’t mean to offend the student.

“My religious faith dictates that I am to love and respect everyone, whether I agree with them or not. Because we are all made in God’s image,” he said.

That didn’t manage to sway the board, which said he was fired because of intolerance — a rather cheeky reason given the freedom of religion aspect.

“We do not and cannot tolerate discrimination in any form, or actions that create a hostile environment for any member of our school family,” the board said.

In the wake of the lawsuit, the district maintained that it had done nothing wrong.

“West Point Public Schools’ primary focus is on students, staff, and instruction,” it said in a statement.

“We will continue to direct our energy toward maintaining a high-quality learning environment in our schools.”

Now, it appears the case is going to court.

“The former teacher is now suing the school district officials, saying they breached his contract and discriminated against him, violating his right to speak freely and his religious freedom,” CNN reported.

“He is seeking $500,000 in lost wages and benefits, plus $500,000 for loss of reputation, pain, suffering and emotional distress. He is asking to get his job back or another position at equal or higher pay.”

CBS News reported the lawsuit claims breach of contract as well as violations of Vlaming’s rights under both commonwealth law and Virginia’s constitution.

“This isn’t just about a pronoun, it’s about what that pronoun means,” Tyson Langhofer, director of the Alliance Defending Freedom’s Center for Academic Freedom, said.

“This was never about anything Peter said or did; only about what the school was demanding he say. Nobody should be forced to contradict his core beliefs just to keep a job.”

And, if Vlaming’s complaint is accurate, he didn’t even mean to misgender the student. When they were about to hit the wall, reality kicked in.

In an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show late last year, Vlaming said he tried to meet the school and the student in the middle.

“I used the new name, I avoided feminine pronouns, but male pronouns were a bridge too far,” he said.

“But I did everything in my power to accommodate and show respect towards this student and this student’s choices.”

That wasn’t enough for the school or the student. Now we’ll see what a court has to say about whether religious convictions are moot when it comes to gender pronouns.

Citing the burden uninsured patients place on America’s hospitals, President Donald Trump on Friday issued a proclamation that will bar individuals from getting visas to enter the United States if they lack the means to have to pay for their own health care or are unlikely to obtain insurance within 30 days of entry.

Trump’s new policy, which does not affect eligibility for asylum or refugee status, is scheduled to take effect Nov. 3, Reuters reported.

In order to gain entry to the U.S., immigrants would need to prove they either have or will have access to private coverage through a job, directly from an insurer or through a family member. Immigrants who would be covered by Medicare can also enter the country.

Trump’s declaration said the action is needed to address the dire straits of many hospitals.

“Healthcare providers and taxpayers bear substantial costs in paying for medical expenses incurred by people who lack health insurance or the ability to pay for their healthcare. Hospitals and other providers often administer care to the uninsured without any hope of receiving reimbursement from them,” the proclamation read, noting that the overall cost of services for which hospitals are not reimbursed has topped $35 billion a year for the past decade.

In addition to costs that average $7 million per hospital, “the uninsured strain Federal and State government budgets through their reliance on publicly funded programs, which ultimately are financed by taxpayers,” the proclamation read.

Trump’s proclamation also pointed out that uninsured individuals “often use emergency rooms to seek remedies for a variety of non-emergency conditions, causing overcrowding and delays for those who truly need emergency services.”

The proclamation then connected the flow of migrants into the country to the dilemma facing health care providers.

“[T]he United States Government is making the problem worse by admitting thousands of aliens who have not demonstrated any ability to pay for their healthcare costs. Notably, data show that lawful immigrants are about three times more likely than United States citizens to lack health insurance,” the proclamation said.

“Immigrants who enter this country should not further saddle our healthcare system, and subsequently American taxpayers, with higher costs,” Trump’s proclamation added.

The White House document said America welcomes those who can contribute to the country and not be a drain upon it.

“The United States has a long history of welcoming immigrants who come lawfully in search of brighter futures,” the proclamation said.

“We must continue that tradition while also addressing the challenges facing our healthcare system, including protecting both it and the American taxpayer from the burdens of uncompensated care. Continuing to allow entry into the United States of certain immigrants who lack health insurance or the demonstrated ability to pay for their healthcare would be detrimental to these interests.”

In releasing the new policy, the White House also distributed a fact sheet noting that in 1996, former President Bill Clinton and Congress enacted a law saying immigrants should “not depend on public resources to meet their needs.”

The fact sheet further pointed out that immigrants “who receive public benefits above a certain threshold are known as a ‘public charge,’ which has been a ground of inadmissibility for more than 100 years.”

The Trump administration has also implemented its own “public charge” rule effective Oct. 15, Fox News reported

The rule will allow officials to deny green cards to anyone deemed likely to rely on government aid.

“The principle driving it is an old American value, and that’s self-sufficiency,” U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Acting Director Ken Cuccinelli told Fox. “It’s a core principle — the American Dream itself — and it’s one of the things that distinguishes us, and it’s central to the legal history in the U.S. back into the 1800s.”

“It will also have the long-term benefit of protecting taxpayers by ensuring people who are immigrating to this country don’t become public burdens, that they can stand on their own two feet, as immigrants in years past have done,” he said.

“It’s not only a recipe for their success, but for America’s success growing out of our immigration system.”

Prank or no, my take away from the eat-the-babies episode is Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-CA) repeatedly thanking the woman who said we need to eat babies to save the planet.

Watch the video for yourself, but this time pay special attention to Ocasio-Crazy’s demonic and demented reaction to some crazy woman howling about how eating dead people is not enough.

By the way, the idea of eating dead people to save the world from Climate Change is no joke. Just last month at something called the Gastro Summit, Swedish behavioral scientist Magnus Söderlund did a whole PowerPoint presentation arguing we must “overcome our taboo against cannibalism” and eat our own dead to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainability.

The woman at Ocasio-Crazy’s town hall was only taking this idea to the next logical step, a step that combines cannibalism with the Democrats’ utter disregard for newborn babies. The Democrat party is now openly pro-infanticide, openly okay with slaughtering a child post-birth, so why not go for the two-fer? Hey, eating the baby not only aborts it, it’s one less carbon-emitting feast for the whole family!

Returning to this sick and twisted loon we call AOC… How difficult would it have been for her to show a little moral leadership and say, “You know, we’re not going to eat babies, okay?”

Instead, and this is a direct transcript, she says to the woman: “Thank you, thank you.”

Then, while looking Eat-The-Baby-Lady right in the eye, she again says “Thank you,” and treats the question as a serious proposal: “Yeah, no, so, one of the things that’s very important to us is that we need to treat the climate crisis with the urgency that it does present.”

What’s more, it is not as though Ocasio-Crazy is patronizing Eat-The-Baby-Lady to settle her down or something, because Ocasio-Crazy does look directly at her and correct her on one point: “Luckily we have more than a few months,” she says, adding, “But we do need to hit net-zero in several years, but I think we all need to understand that there are a lot of solutions we have, that we can pursue, and that if we act in a positive way there’s space for hope. We are never beyond hope.”

So Ocasio-Crazy is willing to hit the buzzer when Eat-The-Baby-Lady gets the timeline wrong, but not on the whole eat-the-babies thing.

Laugh away, but 15-years-ago you would have laughed away at the idea of same-sex marriage, of the idea of biological men competing in women’s sports, of your daughter being forced to share a bathroom with a mentally-ill man in a dress, of a CNN anchor arguing there’s something wrong with a little girl made uncomfortable after being exposed to a biological man’s penis in the girl’s locker room.

Today’s left is openly celebrating socialism, openly condones post-birth abortions, openly cheers the assassination of police officers, and openly supports and encourages the jack-booted terrorists called Antifa.

AOC herself is an open socialist and she basically runs the Democrat Party.

And now, the head of the Democrat Party is so warped, so morally illiterate, her only response to eat babies to save Gaia is “Thank you … we need to treat the climate crisis with the urgency that it does present.”

She couldn’t even bring herself to say, “We’re not going to eat babies.”

The Democrat Party is now at a point where it won’t take a stand against eating babies.

While Democratic presidential candidate and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is using a recent health scare to push for more socialism in America, Cuba is going back to horse-drawn carriages in the face of a fuel shortage.

Sanders was hospitalized and required heart surgery after experiencing chest pains Tuesday. Luckily, he later announced that he was feeling much better thanks to expert hospital staff.

In a tweet Wednesday, the senator said he was “feeling good.” He quickly followed this up with an endorsement for socialism in health care.

“None of us know when a medical emergency might affect us. And no one should fear going bankrupt if it occurs,” he said. “Medicare for All!”

Thanks for all the well wishes. I’m feeling good. I’m fortunate to have good health care and great doctors and nurses helping me to recover.

None of us know when a medical emergency might affect us. And no one should fear going bankrupt if it occurs. Medicare for All!

But Sanders doesn’t need to institute sweeping changes in America to find out how well socialism works. All he has to do is take a look about 100 miles south of Florida.

A fuel shortage in Cuba is causing major pain for residents of the communist-run island.

The shortage is so bad that horse-drawn carriages are being used for public transportation.

According to Reuters, the government is hoarding the little fuel it has to keep hospitals powered.

Reuters and other media outlets, especially those on the left, blame this shortage on the fallout from U.S. sanctions levied against oil giant Venezuela. Cuba imports most of its oil from the South American country.

Don’t be fooled by this, however. The problem started well before President Donald Trump’s 2019 sanctions on the socialist nation.

According to Forbes, Venezuela’s attempt to seize assets from oil giants in 2007 caused the country’s oil production to nosedive. Production never recovered, and it sent the Venezuelan economy into a downward spiral. Despite having the world’s largest proven reserves of crude oil, the country is in an economic crisis.

The sharp decline in production resulted in less oil for Cuba. As the island slowly began to starve for fuel, tough choices needed to be made.

To complement the medieval horse-powered transport, cooks are now having to turn to wood and charcoal to prepare their food.

The tourist industry, an important source of income for the island, is being prioritized by the government and likely has adequate fuel — for now.

Meanwhile, the United States is experiencing an energy and manufacturing boom.

Thanks to President Trump, who cut regulation and unleashed the machine of capitalism, America is surging while our southern neighbors are experiencing harsh shortages.

Despite how poorly socialist countries manage even their most abundant resources, Bernie Sanders champions their systems of government as positive and progressive.

If he isn’t defeated in 2020, America could very well be facing the same realities as Cuba and Venezuela.
