HUD-Nominee Marcia Fudge: Treating Everyone the Same 'Is Not Always Fair'

By Susan Jones | January 29, 2021

"What is the difference between racial equity and racial equality?" Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) asked Rep. Marcia Fudge, the woman nominated to lead President Biden's Department of Housing and Urban Development.  "From my own perspective," Fudge responded, "the difference is that one just means that you treat everybody the same. Sometimes the same is not equitable," she explained:.........To Read More...

My Take - Mary Rose Oakar was a big promoter of comparable worth, where the federal government would decide how much people should make based on gender, not on what they did.  

As an example they didn't like the idea men who worked on dangerous jobs made more than a secretary, so they would in turn decide what the "comparable worth" was to society and determine how much women would be paid in comparison.  

How do you make that kind of comparison?  What are the rules.  What are the parameters?  Who makes those rules and decisions?  Clearly an open ended system for abuse and political persecution, of which something leftists are always guilty, and are demonstrating it now.

Even the Democrats thought this was a "loonytoon idea".  Not any longer though,  because this is the same kind of irrational tyrannical government overreach as was comparable worth, with all the same potential abuses, only now they're openly demanding the imposition of censorship, economic tyranny, and big government abuse.  

Another Biden consequence.

Feel the Bern: How Havana is collapsing, building by building

By Tracey Eaton and Katherine Lewin, Dec. 2, 2018       


Rafael Álvarez was up at 6:30 a.m. to warm milk for his baby daughter when he heard the sound of pebbles falling. 
“That’s when the floor below us came loose. We were left hanging in the air, then fell into the abyss.  Álvarez, 41, a baker, was buried in rubble to his waist. His mother, daughter and two others were killed when the 101-year-old building collapsed. “Save the babies!” were his mother’s last words, he said.

 

In Havana, some of the same architectural gems that draw tens of thousands of American tourists crash to the ground every year. Causes range from weather and neglect to faulty renovations and theft of structural beams.   Carlos Guerrero, 45, said he and his family live “like scared dogs” in a crumbling building along Merced Street.  Neighbors tell them, “Get out of there! It’s going to collapse!".........To Read More....
 
My Take - Imagine that.  The country that American leftists claim is a socialist paradise with fabulous.....fabulous.....health care is literally crumbling down around the citizens. 
 
Democratic Rep. Marcia Fudge, who many Democrats in the Congress wanted to run against Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House, visited Cuba with members of the Congressional Black Caucus in an effort to lift the American embargo of Cuba, said she found Fidel's brother Raul to be "really a very intelligent, a very engaging, entertaining guy, actually."   One of the members of the Caucus commented,  "I think that what really surprised me, but also endeared me to him, was his keen sense of humor, his sense of history and his basic human qualities."
 
They also met with Fidel briefly, but I bet they never noticed the country was crumbling down around them, or the murders Fidel, Raul and Che committed against innocent people, or how many innocent political prisoners he's held in prison for what we would consider first amendment rights.

How Democrats Protected a Democrat Who Beat and Murdered His Wife

Is it any wonder that Lance Mason believed that he could get away with killing his wife?

November 22, 2018 Daniel Greenfield

On the way back from a funeral, Judge Lance Mason beat his wife so badly that he broke her orbital socket.  A woman who called 911 had described a horrifying scene of “fists flying” inside the car.
Their two children, ages 4 and 6, were in the SUV when their father assaulted their mother, choked her and bit her on the ear and the cheek. According to Aisha, Judge Mason "struck me in the face, yanked my hair, slammed my head into the dashboard and armrest of the car."

She later called the police, telling them, "I'm afraid he's going to hurt my daughters.”

Aisha had to be hospitalized and required reconstructive surgery to repair the damage to her face..............Judge Mason couldn’t escape jail. He was sentenced to two years. But when he got out, the Ohio Democratic party did not abandon its favorite son. Instead Ohio Dems, who condemned President Trump for not caring about “women’s rights”, gave him a plum position as the Minority Business Development Administrator for Cleveland despite beating his wife so badly she needed surgery............

Mayor Frank Jackson defended hiring Mason as part of Cleveland’s second-chance for felons program. “We hire many ex-felons and almost all of them turn out well because we have second chance as a part of what we do as a policy in the City of Cleveland,” the Democrat insisted.......... Mayor Jackson suggested that domestic violence cases were too complex to lay blame..........The political party that claims to protect women got a woman killed. The faction that claims to love “women of color” helped put one in the ground............To Read More......
