LOOP: Supreme Court says ‘hate’ speech is still protected
FREE SPEECH // Remember when the Obama administration said that the Washington Redskins could no longer have copyright protection because their team name was offensive? Guess what? The Supreme Court ruled 8-0 that the Obama administration got it wrong and that there is no ‘hate speech’ exception to the First Amendment. This will have huge implications for Christians. http://cvote.it/2rPEZdf
OH CANADA // But free speech is in danger just north of our border. Canadians could be jailed or fined for using incorrect gender pronouns. http://cvote.it/2rPSUQC
COMMUNISTS // The North Korean communist regime murdered an American citizen for removing a propaganda poster from a hotel wall. President Trump condemned the ‘brutal’ North Korean regime. Trump also called Otto Warmbier’s family to offer his condolences. http://cvote.it/2rPw0IZ

Y2K // President Trump orders the federal government to end reporting requirements related to possible computer disruptions due to the Y2K bug. Yes, you read that right. For 17 years our government was spending time and money preparing for computer problems when we hit the year 2000. Trump should mention this in every speech. http://cvote.it/2rPXsXe
