Trump's latest pick: Stephen Moore "was any area in life "where men can take vacation from women."
One of President Donald Trump's picks to serve on the Federal Reserve Board has written that women should be banned from refereeing, announcing or beer vending at men's college basketball games, asking if there was any area in life "where men can take vacation from women."Stephen Moore, an economic commentator and former Trump campaign adviser, made those and similar comments in several columns reviewed by CNN's KFile that were published on the website of the conservative National Review magazine in 2001, twice in 2002 and 2003.
In a 2000 column, Moore complained about his wife voting for Democrats, writing, "Women are sooo malleable! No wonder there's a gender gap." In another column in 2000, Moore criticized female athletes advocating for pay equality, writing that they wanted "equal pay for inferior work."
Moore, who subsequently worked as a Wall Street Journal editorial board member, was at the time the president of the Club for Growth, a conservative political organization. He was a CNN contributor from 2017 until last month.

In one of his 2002 columns, Moore suggested changes to March Madness tournament to get rid of "un-American" aspects of it. The first rule proposed by Moore was "no women."
"Here's the rule change I propose: No more women refs, no women announcers, no women beer venders, no women anything," he wrote in March 2002. "There is, of course, an exception to this rule. Women are permitted to participate, if and only if, they look like Bonnie Bernstein. The fact that Bonnie knows nothing about basketball is entirely irrelevant." He later wrote that Bernstein, a CBS sports journalist at the time, should wear halter tops.
Earlier the column, Moore expressed disgust at a woman refereeing an NCAA game.
"How outrageous is this? This year they allowed a woman ref a men's NCAA game. Liberals celebrate this breakthrough as a triumph for gender equity," Moore wrote. "The NCAA has been touting this as example of how progressive they are. I see it as an obscenity. Is there no area in life where men can take vacation from women? What's next? Women invited to bachelor parties? Women in combat? (Oh yeah, they've done that already.) Why can't women ref he women's games and men the men's games. I can't wait to see the first lady ref have a run in with Bobby Knight."
Moore wrote that this was part of the "bigger and more serious social problem in America" which was "the feminization of basketball generally." Moore added he didn't care about watching women's basketball and he was upset games were shown on ESPN.
KS homeowners allow easement for upgraded power poles in their yards. shocked by HUGE metal towers
WICHITA — Pained words of Pastor William Vann inside Iasis Christian Center competed against industrial clamor of electric transmission line crews operating heavy trucks in the front yard.
Timing of the mid-April intrusion was ironic, because Vann was in a meeting with a Wichita City Council member, a Kansas House member, several local residents and a reporter to discuss the controversial power-pole modernization project initiated by Westar Energy — now known as Evergy — in a low-income residential neighborhood of northeast Wichita.
The church stands amid dozens of metal transmission poles that soar 105 feet above the ground, dwarfing wood poles typical of older neighborhoods without buried lines. Size and location of the double-deck poles fueled anger among residents convinced such giants would never be deployed in an affluent part of the city. Some were planted in front yards a stone’s throw from entrance doors.
Vann wasn’t alone in accusing Westar of engaging in a bait-and-switch approach to placing the poles on private property. He agreed to a new pole in front of the church, but was unaware of actual dimensions. He was recently informed Westar intended to add a transformer in the easement next to the street.
“I was approached ... a year and a half ago about Westar buying some easement of our church property in order to upgrade the power grid,” Vann said. “They did tell me it would be a silver pole. I was not aware how tall it would be or that they would actually bring two more poles along with it. Now, in my 150-foot span of property, I have one, two, three, four, five — five poles out there, because they haven’t taken the old ones down either.”
---------------------
And, Finney said, the influx of massive transmission poles were directly responsible for falling residential property values.
“The chances are, if you were to have an opportunity to buy a house, you probably wouldn’t want to buy a house with a 105-foot pole in your yard,” the state legislator said. “As far as property values, recently our appraisal values came out from the county. My property is 5 blocks over and my house is only 9 years old. It went down $5,000 since last year.”
-------------------
Westar representatives had moved through the neighborhood a couple years ago buying easements. They apparently paid a few hundred dollars to a couple thousand dollars to homeowners.
“They actually gave me a little piece of money for a wooden pole,” said Abdul-Raheem, a resident and child care provider. “The next thing I know, I have one of these big, huge things on the property. It looked like a monster. When I open my curtain in the morning, that’s the first thing that I see. I didn’t even want to work in my flower bed this morning.”

Westar Energy said Monday it would pay more to compensate homeowners upset about larger electrical poles, or even buy their homes, in northeast Wichita.
UPDATED — Westar Energy is upgrading a transmission line that connects three substations in northeast Wichita, but residents aren’t looking at new electric poles as an improvement.
“People are very disturbed about this,” says state Rep. Gail Finney.
Wichita City Council member Brandon Johnson organized a meeting with Westar representatives, area residents and community leaders on Thursday.
“It got very intense,” Finney says.
She says issues include “monumental towers that are in people’s yard,” lost home value, improper compensation and a lack of transparency.

Retiree Phyllis Peete, who lives near 21st and Piatt, says she and a neighbor were driving down the street when she first saw the poles.
“I said, ‘What is this?’ I thought it was horrible. They were so big, and they’re just blocking everything.”
That’s not her only frustration, Peete says.
“I hadn’t hear anything about it. That’s what gets me.”

San Luis Obispo city worker placed on leave after video of him knocking out a woman surfaces
https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/San-Luis-Obispo-video-woman-knocked-out-bar-fight-13782887.phpSan Luis Obispo city worker placed on leave after video of him knocking out a woman surfaces
Chavez, a special education teacher in Santa Maria, said that Olcott repeatedly bumped into her and her friend Isaac McCormac at the bar and was "territorial" of his space.
In the video, Olcott, who is wearing a grey shirt, can be seen talking to a group of people while McCormac, who is wearing a red hat, is seated behind him. Chavez can be seen standing behind McCormac with her arms around his shoulders.
There are multiple instances in the video where Olcott bumps into McCormac and Chavez, and then directs an angry gaze back at them.
At around the 50-second mark, Olcott gets bumped back by Chavez, and proceeds to elbow her in the face, knocking her to the ground.
"I don't know what triggered the event," Chavez told the San Luis Obispo Tribune. "I have no idea what prompted it. He was territorial over this space. There was room in front of him, but he was not willing to give up that space."
Olcott then begins punching McCormac repeatedly before being subdued by staff at the bar.
Chavez said she was unconscious for over a minute, and missed multiple days of work due to dizziness after the incident.

According to Chavez, one of the jurors in the original felony trial reportedly said, "Why should he lose his job for two Mexicans in a bar?"

'There's 10 commandments and committing adultery is not part of that,' Pastor Wilson can be heard saying in footage
He added: 'It's not that they should not go to the school it's that they can't go to the school'
Wilson allegedly asked her why her kids had three different fathers during a July conference
Pastor Wilson released a statement saying parents sign 'written agreement to conduct themselves in accordance with expressed guidelines of conducts'
But the mother asserts that she never signed an agreement and just wants her daughters to be able to finish the school year

A Louisiana man has been arrested and booked on charges including committing a hate crime after he allegedly accelerated his truck toward an interracial couple in a suburban New Orleans parking lot, according to the local sheriff's office.

The vehicle hit the woman, causing injuries to her hip, wrist and foot.
Descant allegedly attacked the couple because he was upset about their interracial relationship, Rivarde told CNN. The couple -- a black man and a white woman -- told police they had interacted with Descant at a local motel within a week of the incident.

Church apologizes after pastor asks students to spit on him and cut him as part of Easter lesson
https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/20/us/ohio-church-easter-lesson-apology/index.html---
'I thought it was OK'
"Jaddeus got up in front of the students and he said, 'I'm going to ask you to do something that might seem a little crazy, but if there's anyone here that would like to spit in my face, you can do so without any repercussions,' " Ross said on social media, describing the event.
Some students took him up on his offer. Then, he told them they could slap him. Several did.
Finally, Dempsey pulled out a steak knife and set the same conditions.
One student took the knife and sliced his back.
Students pulled out their phones and began posting on social media. Videos of that day show the students lining up before the pastor and taking turns spitting on his face while others laugh.
One student is heard saying "I'm doing it," while others respond, "Do it."
"Can I do it again?" another asks.
Another video shows students attempting to cut the pastor's back, before the pastor seems to say, "Make me bleed."
Ai'Janae Parker, 12, took part in the activity.
"I thought it was very weird and awkward," she told CNN affiliate WBNS. "I took part because I thought it was OK because it was coming from an adult."
The affiliate also reported the Licking County Sheriff's Office opened an investigation.
Washington state senator slammed for saying nurses 'play cards' for 'considerable amount of the day'
https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/20/politics/washington-state-senator-nurse-remarks/index.htmlA Washington state senator has drawn the ire of nurses after remarks she made suggesting that nurses in smaller hospitals "probably play cards for a considerable amount of the day."
The Washington State Senate considered a bill Tuesday, SHB 1155, that would provide nurses with uninterrupted meal and rest periods.
"By putting these types of mandates on a critical access hospital that literally serves a handful of individuals, I would submit to you those nurses probably do get breaks. They probably play cards for a considerable amount of the day," Washington state Senator Maureen Walsh said on Tuesday during a debate on the Washington state Senate floor.
Walsh, a Republican, was arguing in support of an amendment that would exempt critical access hospitals, in rural areas, and hospitals with less than 25 beds from the bill.
