DISPATCHES FROM THE BLUE ZONES: Topless transgender politician defeats recall effort.

A Washington State politician who went topless at a rally for transgender individuals won’t be kicked out of office, thanks to a ruling by the state Supreme Court.

A recall petition sought to oust Lucy Lauser from the Stevenson City Council after she exposed her breasts on March 31 outside the Skamania County Courthouse. On her chest was the message “MY BODY IS NOT A SIN.”

Police officers approached her about indecent exposure, but she cited her First Amendment rights and refused to cover herself. She was not arrested, but citizen Kathleen Fitzgerald instituted a recall petition that said Lauser failed to honor her oath of office.

Though a trial court said the petition could move forward, the Supreme Court reversed last week.

“Not all exposure is considered obscene,” Justice Charles Johnson wrote. “For example, the statute specifically states that breastfeeding is not considered indecent exposure.

“She did not believe her exposure violated the law because it was an act of protest, which she did not believe was ‘obscene.’ Therefore, even if Lauser violated the law – and there is a strong argument she did not – it was not intentional.”

I’m not sure I understand that has to do with the validity of a petition, perhaps aside from the court deciding the people of Washington don’t necessarily have the right to do those.

UNREFORMED, UNREDEEMED, UNAPOLOGETIC:

I LIKE THAT NOBODY’S PUTTING UP WITH THIS BS ANYMORE:

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Reactions to Operation Epic Fury Are Quite the Surprising Mixed Bag. “I’ve written on a few occasions about my old neighborhood in West Los Angeles. There were a lot of Persian Jews there who had fled in 1979 and I heard a lot of great stories over the years about what an incredible country Iran was before the Islamists took over. The tales were wonderful and the looks in the eyes of those telling them were heartbreaking. I can assure you that none of those people were upset about Operation Epic Fury.”

WHY ADAMS AND JEFFERSON WOULD APPROVE TRUMP’S IRAN ACTION: John Adams was America’s second President and the head of the Federalist Party. Thomas Jefferson was our third Chief Executive and the chief author of the Declaration of Independence (with a lot of help from Adams). But Jefferson was also leader of the Democratic-Republican Party that was founded in opposition to Adams’ Federalists.

But despite their vast differences on so many other issues, Adams and Jefferson pursued virtually identical courses of action when the time came for American military power to be exercised overseas. Both did so without asking Congress for a declaration of war.

Rod Martin explains why this fact is so hugely important today as President Donald Trump directs the U.S. military’s joint destruction of Iran’s radical Islamic Republic terrorism machine. A good many folks on the Right should especially read and think about Martin’s analysis because they could very well otherwise end up playing the useful idiot role for the Left in coming days.
