Three Bees in My Bonnet

Mikaela says:
Wasington Post reports: IRS not only discriminates against liberal churches, it also goes after low-income families. Who's in charge over there? Has everyone gone insane?

Speaking of going insane, ABC is reporting that Lockheed Martin knew a year and a half before one man went on a murder spree in a Mississippi warehouse, shooting six and killing eight Black workers before killing himself, that he had threatened to do just that! Despite the warning and multiple incidents, the company never took any action against the racist employee, and now it disavows all responsibility. Shocking, right? Right.

But we don't just leave our dirty laundry at home. Looks like we also outsource hate. Also in the Post:

In an article published this week in the Army magazine Military Review, British Brig. Nigel Aylwin-Foster, who was deputy commander of a program to train the Iraqi military, said American officers in Iraq displayed such "cultural insensitivity" that it "arguably amounted to institutional racism" and may have spurred the growth of the insurgency.
