America Should Follow Israel’s Example

Haaretz in 2013: The state plans to cease issuing birth certificates to children of foreigners born in Israel, thereby depriving them of any official government document confirming their birth. The lack of such a document could cause serious problems later in life, when moving to another country, getting married or even attending college.

The new policy, revealed in a brief filed by the state with the High Court of Justice on Monday, will require foreigners to make do instead with the handwritten birth notices issued by hospitals. But these notices aren’t official government documents.

The government said it is making this change because it fears migrants might exploit official birth certificates to try to obtain legal status in Israel. But the Association for Civil Rights in Israel said the change would cause children disproportionate harm.

The birth certificates issued to children of foreigners – meaning everyone from diplomats to asylum seekers to legal and illegal foreign workers – were never the same as those issued to Israeli citizens or residents. About a year ago, however, the state made two additional changes in these documents: It stopped listing the name of the child’s father, and started listing the mother’s maiden name as the child’s surname.

Power Players Jeopardy

Comments:

* I don’t know if anyone has been watching the “Power Players” version of Jeopardy! which is hosted in Washington D.C. They had former RNC chairman Michael Steele on. It did not go well. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that politicians and journalists aren’t really as smart as they’d like to think they are, but how was he so clueless on Final Jeopardy? He tries to make up for his ignorance with a feeble joke. He later on Twitter tried to blame his poor performance on the clicker, but he stood there blankly most of the time well out of his depth. He was once one of the leaders of the party?

* Comedy is a brutally competitive field where only the strong survive (on their wits).

Sucking at the corporate teat of CNN requires a different skill set–like connections and a willingness to suckle eagerly (see eg Anderson Cooper, another moron exposed on jeopardy).

Norm Macdonald is another brilliant comedian who dominated a TV quiz show.

Heck, even Cheech Marin crushed those CNN anchors and affirmative action baby political hacks (some Hispanic woman with a lot of clout in the GOP was particularly dumb).

* Steve Sailer: My clicker was broken when I was on Jeopardy in 1994.

I was constantly holding up my buzzer pushing it over and over with it only going off about 10% or 20% of the time. During both commercial breaks, the Jeopardy technical crew besieged me, asking what I was doing wrong to keep my buzzer from going off.

A few years later, a friend whom I hadn’t seen in a decade dropped by. The first thing he said was, “I saw you on Jeopardy. What the hell was wrong with your buzzer?”

A few weeks after me, General Schwarzkopf appeared on Celebrity Jeopardy and his buzzer was unreliable. He made them stop taping until they fixed his buzzer.

It probably cost me around $25,000.

I believe the Jeopardy episode I was on aired February 27, 1994. It was filmed about a month earlier, not long after the Northridge Earthquake.

* Look up Wolf Blitzer on Jeopardy on youtube – you’ll be shocked at what an idiot he is (or maybe you won’t). OTOH, Andy Richter (Conan O’Brien’s sidekick) did great on the same show – go figure.

* Milo has a Greek father and a Jewish mother. I think he gets away with it because he can pull both the Jew card and the homo card. Maybe he has US residency or citizenship. Plus he is eloquent and amazingly quick on his feet, as you’d kind of expect from an upper echelon Jew/Greek. Zuckerberg would be a fool to be interviewed by him, though I’d love to see it.

* I failed to line up an internship one summer and did temp labor. One job was at P+Gs general headquarters building. I cleaned toilets, mopped the johns, buffed the floors, wiped down desks, emptied trash, vacuumed … did it for barely more than minimum wage, didn’t die of shame and went back to school in the fall.

Cleaning toilets and other janitorial stuff is not even difficult work. Who the heck do you think is cleaning most of the toilets, public, office, hotel, restaurants in Japan or even Germany–two of the most advanced nations on earth? Japanese and Germans. And it used to be that way in America. Seriously, restrooms were cleaned in America before the Mexican invasion.

This is *entirely* a question of employers paying enough. And when you have to raise the pay rate too high for something, folks change procedures, develop work arounds, automate it away, substitute, etc. etc.

This idea that you need immigration for *anything* is nonsense. Most societies down through the ages have *not* had immigration to any significant extent at all. Immigration is invasion and is resisted while a society, people, nation can resist it. And yet these societies were able to do all the work they needed to do.

* Twenty years ago, I had a blonde American maid cleaning my hotel room in Michigan, and had white American men as cab drivers in Spokane and Scottsdale.

* I lived in Salt Lake City five years ago. The landscaping crew at my small apartment complex was all white.

The “need” for immigration is the desire to suppress wages. Elon Musk paying foreign construction workers $5/hour is the latest example.

In the book Freakonomics, drug dealers were interested in being janitors. Janitors earned more and weren’t at daily risk of violence or arrest.

* In San Francisco there are plenty of white bus drivers, but they work for Golden Gate Transit, which runs up to Marin and Sonoma counties. Their drivers often work 13- hour shifts. You don’t see any whites in the SF Muni system. I assume this reflects the differences in extent of government connection. GGT may be privately run with only some government subsidy. But they let blacks ride free by flashing a “mentally disabled” card.

* There was actually something of a UKIP boomlet in 2014 (they reached 25% in one poll). The reason they didn’t do better is because David Cameron has more political talent in his little finger than every Republican politician combined. Seriously, watch Prime Minister’s Questions on YouTube; it’s astonishing how much better British politicians are at debating than American politicians are.

The EU started off as a right-wing initiative — a free trade area (the “Common Market”). In the first referendum in 1975, Thatcher and the Tories campaigned for it while Labour was officially neutral but with the majority of the membership, led by ur-loony-leftist Tony Benn, against.

The subsequent expansions of EU power were also right-wing; harmonization and liberalization of regulations, and the Euro, joining which was supposed to require balancing the budget and keeping inflation minimal on an indefinite basis.

Then they added the removal of border controls and free movement, still not particularly leftist since it was still confined to Western Europe.

And then, in the mid-90′s/early 00′s, Conquest’s Second Law (“any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing”) came true, with the creation of the European Court of Human Rights and the expansion agenda.

Since then, the sides have switched, with EU supporters mainly being on the left and opponents on the right. Most of the old loony leftists (such as Corbyn) are now firmly in the Remain camp, and it’s just a few especially crazy types like George Galloway who still support Out. (Presumably, they’re still awaiting word from Moscow that the party line has changed).

* Dying former Republican senator wants to tell Muslims how much they improve America, implying they are better than existing Americans. We’re not told what the recipients of his grovelling thought.

Link: Joyce told her son that his father had approached people wearing hijabs in an airport to “let them know that he was grateful they were in the country and the country was better for them being here.” “

5 very smart things Donald Trump has done since becoming the presumptive GOP nominee

Trump will do whatever he needs to do to win. He’s not bound to any policy.

The Fix at the Washington Post:

Here are five examples of Trump being smart:

1. Traveling to D.C. to meet with Paul Ryan

2. Hiring a pollster

3. Making nice with Megyn Kelly
Trump has a theatrical/dramatic approach to most things. That includes his feuds, which play out as three-act plays: The introduction of the tension, the formal falling out, and then, of course, the high-profile making nice.

4. Rolling out a list of potential Supreme Court picks
There’s nothing that united the disparate elements of the Republican party base like talk of future Supreme Court nominees. That’s long been true but is even more so now in the wake of twin decisions over the last few years that legalized same-sex marriage and upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act.

5. Making clear there are no boundaries in your planned attacks against Hillary
Trump’s willingness to suggest that Bill Clinton had raped Juanita Broaddrick in his Wednesday night interview with Hannity is only the latest signal he is sending to Republicans that he considers absolutely nothing off limits when it comes to drawing a contrast with Hillary Clinton in the fall campaign.

That’s a stone-cold winner for his efforts to unify the GOP. Why? Because large swaths of the Republican base have spent the last almost-20 years frustrated that their party leaders weren’t willing (or willing enough) to directly confront the Clintons about their moral character (or lack thereof). That Trump won’t apologize for calling Hillary Clinton an “enabler” of her husband is exactly the sort of rhetoric that conservatives have been waiting the last two decades for.

It is literally impossible to be “too nasty” to Hillary Clinton (and Bill Clinton) in the eyes of the Republican base. The more Trump amps up his rhetoric toward the former first couple, the more loyalty (and unity) he engenders from a party base badly in need of a rallying force.

WP: Outrage in Japan as U.S. Marine veteran arrested in connection with death of woman on Okinawa

The Japanese and other asians are not fond of blacks.

Washington Post: Japanese leaders reacted with outrage after a U.S. Marine veteran was arrested Thursday in connection with the death of a Japanese woman near a U.S. air base on the island of Okinawa.

10671223_725508657527990_5011901926853748869_n

Kenneth Franklin Gadson, a 32-year-old civilian contractor at Kadena Air Base, admitted to strangling the woman, his defense attorney told Stars and Stripes — though the attorney questioned the condition under the which the admission was made.

Rina Shimabukuro had been missing since last month. The 20-year-old’s body was discovered in a wooded location Thursday after Gadson told investigators where to look, according to the Associated Press.

Japanese media identified Gadson, who also goes by his Japanese wife’s family name of Shinzato, as a U.S. Marine veteran and the U.S. military confirmed that on Friday morning. His mother told The Washington Post that her son was in the Marines from 2007 until 2014.

“They say he’s locked up in jail, killed somebody,” said Shirley Gadson, 63, over the telephone from her home in New York City early Friday morning. She said she learned Kenneth had been arrested when Japanese police called her on Thursday.

“I got scared. I got nervous. Oh my God,” she said. “I didn’t hear from him for two years.”

In a statement posted online, Kadena Air Base said a civilian employee had been arrested in connection to a woman’s disappearance.

“A civilian employee of a company contracted to provide services to U.S. military installations was arrested by Okinawa Prefectural Police yesterday in connection with the disappearance and death of an Okinawan woman,” the statement said. “Our heartfelt prayers and condolences are with the victim’s family, friends, and loved ones. We also send our deepest sympathies to the people of Japan and express our gratitude for the trust that they place in our bilateral alliance and the people of the United States.”

Chutzpah!

Washington Post:

Israel is nearing the end of a 10-year, $30 billion package — the most generous in history and more than double what any other nation gets — and Netanyahu wants the number to climb to $40 billion or more in the next decade.

Netanyahu has warned that if he doesn’t get what he seeks from the Obama White House, he is prepared to wait for the next administration.

He’s warning he might not take $30 billion! It would be funny if Trump comes in and offers him zero.

WP: Ben Shapiro discovers right-wing anti-Semitism

For David Bernstein, this right-wing surge of anti-Semitism inspired by Donald J. Trump is surprising.

David Bernstein must lack commonsense. If gentiles get stronger in their national, racial or religious identities, they are more likely to have negative feelings towards out-groups including Jews, just as when Jews get stronger in their national, racial or religious identities, they are more likely to have negative feelings towards out-groups. That’s it. It really is that simple.

What is good for Jews (strong identity and cohesion and nationalism) is often bad for competing gentile groups and what is good for goyim (strong racial, national and religious identity) is often bad for Jews. Different groups have different interests. What is good for blacks is often bad for non-blacks. What is good for Muslims is often bad for non-Muslims. What is good for Jews is often bad for non-Jews. Having lots of Jews on the U.S. Supreme Court is probably good for Jews and bad for non-Jews because these Jewish Supreme Court justices invariably side with the coalition of the fringe against the core (pro-black, pro-gay, pro-minorities, pro-integration). America’s massive support for Israel may well be good for Jews and for Israel but it is terrible for the United States (9/11 would not have happened without this). A multicultural, multiracial society is probably more user-friendly for Jews and other minorities but it is bad for Christians.

Accusations of bigotry and racism and anti-Semitism are kneejerk ways of avoiding the cold hard reality that different groups have different interests. If a non-black walking down the street at night hurries to avoid young black men, is that bigotry or is that commonsense? If a taxi driver declines to pick up blacks, is that bigotry or commonsense? If a homeowner declines to rent to blacks, is that bigotry or is that commonsense? If a particular hotel in a particular time and place declines to host Jews, is that bigotry or is that in the rational self-interest of the owner?

From David Bernstein at the Volokh Conspiracy hosted by the Washington Post:

Ben Shapiro:

I’ve spent most of my career arguing that anti-Semitism in the United States is almost entirely a product of the political Left. I’ve traveled across the country from Iowa to Texas; I’ve rarely seen an iota of true anti-Semitism. I’ve sensed far more anti-Jewish animus from leftist college students at the University of California, Los Angeles, than from churches in Valencia. As an observer of President Obama’s thoroughgoing anti-Israel administration, I could easily link the anti-Semitism of the Left to its disdain for both Biblical morality and Israeli success over its primary Islamist adversaries. The anti-Semitism I’d heard about from my grandparents — the country-club anti-Semitism, the alleged white-supremacist leanings of rednecks from the backwoods — was a figment of the imagination, I figured. I figured wrong. Donald Trump’s nomination has drawn anti-Semites from the woodwork.

Unlike Shapiro, I’ve never doubted the persistence of right-wing anti-Semitism. Way back when (but not that long ago), I volunteered for the Jack Kemp presidential campaign. As a lowly intern, I got to open a good bit of mail from donors and potential donors, many identified from rented mailing lists belonging to right-wing direct-mail gurus. The volume of overtly anti-Semitic mail was quite remarkable, especially since Kemp was not Jewish, nor did any “Jewish” issue play a significant role in his campaign.

Nevertheless, when I’ve blogged about anti-Semitism at the VC, I have focused on left-wing anti-Semitism, for two reasons. First, American Jews and their “defense” organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League tend to be exquisitely attuned to real or potential anti-Semitism emanating from the right, much less so from the left. For example, in January, before the Iowa caucuses, Ted Cruz attacked Trump for having “New York values”; Hillary Clinton suddenly opened up about her Christian religious beliefs while fending off a challenge from a Jewish candidate; and Bernie Sanders was busily attacking “a handful of people on Wall Street [who] have extraordinary power over the economic and political life of our country.” Only Cruz’s comment received attention as an alleged anti-Semitic dog whistle, even though Clinton’s and Sanders’s statements were objectively at least as open to that charge. (For the record, I don’t think any of these incidents involved anti-Semitism, though they all might have pleased anti-Semites.) Meanwhile, surveys show that Jews significantly overestimate the level of anti-Semitism among Republican-leaning constituencies such as conservative evangelicals and underestimate it among Democratic-leaning constituencies, such as Hispanics.

Second, as a public political matter, at least until the Trump campaign, anti-Semitism was largely and increasingly marginalized on the mainstream conservative right. This was in significant part due to the efforts of the late William F. Buckley, who throughout his career made an effort to rid conservatism of its anti-Semitic fringe, including such former allies as Patrick Buchanan and Joseph Sobran, and more recently due to the efforts of evangelical Christian leaders, including a theological emphasis on God’s statement in Genesis, “I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse,” as requiring being nice to the Jews. Not only has anti-Semitism on the right diminished significantly, but Jews, especially orthodox Jews, have of late become a significant presence in “mainstream” conservative organizations. I attended the Conservative Political Action Committee conference briefly this year and was surprised to see advertised prominently on the agenda the Fifth Annual CPAC Shabbat dinner, and there were quite a few kippot among the attendees.

Meanwhile, the left has gone in the other direction, increasingly tolerating anti-Semitism so long as its dressed up as criticism of Israel or “Zionists.” As good an example as any involves an essay written by Steven Salaita for the Nation in November. Rabbi Jill Jacobs, a prominent left-wing rabbi and strong critic of Israeli policy, took exception in a letter to the editor, arguing that “Salaita resurrects some of the most vicious anti-Semitic tropes, protecting himself by assigning these slurs to Zionism and Zionists, clear stand-ins for Judaism and Jews.” She then elaborated, quoting statements “which do not even pretend to be about criticism of Israeli policy, [but] summon the well-known bogeyman of a Jewish conspiracy that controls banks, governments, and other seats of authority.” The editors’ response failed to address her specific charges, amounting instead to, “it can’t be be anti-Semitism if you purport to be attacking Zionism.” And speaking of Shabbat dinners, recently a large group of activists at the National LGBTQ Task Force’s Creating Change conference shut down a Shabbat dinner and discussion hosted by left-wing American Jewish and Israeli groups, via a demonstration that was described by eyewitnesses as as both anti-Semitic and physically threatening.

Unfortunately — and somewhat surprisingly, given that Trump has many Jewish friends, a Jewish daughter (via conversion), and claims to be a proud supporter of Israel — Trump’s campaign has brought the anti-Semitic “alt-right” out of the woodwork, lately attacking “Never Trump” as a Jewish conspiracy. David Horowitz recently fanned the flames, arguing that Bill Kristol’s opposition to Trump made him a “renegade Jew.” Horowitz’s point was stupid but not anti-Semitic — he apparently believes the Jewish apocalypse is at hand if Hillary Clinton isn’t defeated — but his Breitbart.com commenters seem to have missed the subtlety. Trump himself seems indifferent to this, as he has been to many other manifestations of bigotry emanating from his supporters.

Yellow fever outbreaks in Africa need action, mass vaccination: WHO

Outbreaks of deadly yellow fever in Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo do not constitute a global health emergency but require stepped-up control measures and mass vaccination, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Thursday.

The disease, which has a high fatality rate, has already spread to Kenya and China and there is an unrelated outbreak in Uganda, generating fears of the mosquito-borne disease jumping to sprawling cities in Asia and Africa.

“This can be a devastating disease with rapid spread particularly in urban areas,” Dr. Bruce Aylward, WHO executive director of outbreaks and health emergencies, said after its emergency committee on yellow fever held a first meeting.

“The big push really is around surveillance and laboratory diagnostics capacity so that if people start turning yellow and dying, you get diagnostics rapidly and vaccination,” Aylward told Reuters.

The more than 2,400 suspect cases and 300 deaths in just four months in Angola “reinforced the potentially explosive nature of this disease and the risk internationally”, he said.

THE RACIST TREES OF OUR NATIONAL PARKS

Daniel Greenfield writes: Mickey Fearn, the National Park Service Deputy Director for Communications and Community Assistance, made headlines when he claimed that black people don’t visit national parks because they associate them with slaves being lynched by their masters.

Yellowstone, the first national park, was created in 1872 in Wyoming. Slavery was over by then and no one had ever been lynching slaves around Old Faithful anyway. But false claims of racism die very hard.

Now Alcee Hastings, an impeached judge, and a coalition of minority groups is demanding increased “inclusiveness” at national parks. High on their list is the claim that, “African-Americans have felt unwelcome and even fearful in federal parklands during our nation’s history because of the horrors of lynching.” What do national parks have to do with lynchings? Many national parks have trees. People were hung from trees. It’s racial guilt by arboreal association. Trees are racist down to their roots.

The origin of the bizarre racist lynching theory of national parks appears to be Carolyn Finney. Finney was an actress noted for, apparently, little more than an appearance in The Nutt House. Then she became a cause célèbre for race activists when she was denied tenure by Berkeley’s Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management because her work didn’t meet academic standards.

Her supporters blamed racism, rather than her academic shortcomings, and protested vocally.

These days she’s a diversity advisor to the U.S. National Parks Advisory Board. What wasn’t good enough for UC Berkeley is good enough for national parks. She is also the author of Black Faces, White Spaces. In it she claims that “oppression and violence against black people in forests and other green spaces can translate into contemporary understandings that constrain African-American environmental understandings.”

Finney cites the work of Joy DeGruy Leary who invented a Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome that she claims black people suffer from. Affected by PTSS, black people experience “fear and mistrust of forests and other green spaces.” According to Finney, the tree is a racist symbol to black people.

“Black people also wanted to go out in the woods and eat apples from the trees,” Finney explains.” But black people were lynched on the trees. The tree became a big symbol.” Black people are triggered by trees and suffer Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome flashbacks. You can’t expect them to go to on a hike.

What shall we do about the racist trees? Finney is front and center at the new “inclusion” initiative, “You’re sitting here making up a rule and assuming that everybody is going to feel comfortable to come to the woods and go on a hike,” she whined. “Maybe they’re not interested in doing that, that’s not how they like to come to the woods.”

In addition to complaining about the racist trees, the inclusion initiative also claimed that national parks alienate Latinos because of the “color of the uniforms that rangers wear.”

What’s wrong with the color of park ranger uniforms? According to the Hispanic Access Foundation, they look too much like the border patrol. Even though the uniforms are actually completely different. But much like the lack of lynchings at Yellowstone National Park, the truth doesn’t matter here.

What Does Anti-Semitism Achieve?

Anti-Semitism and anti-Gentilism and anti-Muslim and anti-black and anti-any group are all the outgrowth of conflicting interests. If you love your people, you will react negatively to those who hurt your people. A normal person loves his own kind and hates those who threaten his group. When one group rises in power and cohesion, it usually negatively affects other groups. The more proud Jews become, the more likely they are to have negative views of out-groups. The more proud gentiles (WASPs are a bit of an exception) become in their race, religion or nation, the more likely they are to have negative views of Jews.

What does anti-Semitism achieve? Probably the same things as anti-Gentile attitudes achieve. They knit together one group more closely and make its members more willing to sacrifice for the group. Hate is the great unifier.

It’s impossible to love your group without hating those who threaten it. Every living organism has an instinctive revulsion against those that “f*** with their s***. ” This is anti-Semitism, anti-Gentilism, anti-Gypsyism, anti-white nationalism, anti-blackism, anti-Mexicanism, anti-Catholicism, anti-Adventism, anti-any group.

The stronger your in-group identity, the more likely you are to have negative views of out-groups. The stronger the goy is in his racial, national or religious identity, the more likely he is to have negative views of Jews (Protestantism is the one exception to this rule that comes to mind.) The stronger the Jews is in his racial, ethnic, national, and religious identity, the more likely he is to sacrifice for his group and to hold negative views of non-Jews.

What’s good for your group — racial, national and religious solidarity and cohesion — is usually bad for the other groups you compete with. In other words, what is good for Jews is sometimes bad for gentiles, and what is good for gentiles (racial, national and religious pride and exclusivity and cohesion) is sometimes bad for Jews.

Much of life is zero sum. Either the Jewish state of Israel thrives in its location, and Arabs and Muslims feel humiliated, or it is destroyed and Jews get slaughtered.

“Anti-Semitism” is a goyisha term. It is not found in Torah. There is no Torah mitzvah to fight anti-Semitism. The more religious the Jew, the less interested he is in fighting anti-Semitism or inquiring into its causes. Torah does not spend much space on analyzing anti-Jewish sentiments. Torah does not push Jews to give bigotry no sanction. There’s no mitzva to oppose racism, sexism and homophobia.

The more a Jew studies Torah, the less he cares about anti-Semitism, bigotry, racism and homophobia.

Those Jews who make their living with Holocaust education and fighting bigotry and anti-Semitism (the ADL, the SWC, SPLC, etc) are regarded as light-weights by most Orthodox Jews. These activists, when Orthodox, weren’t smart enough to make it in Torah study and traditional Jewish leadership. Kiruv (outreach) and fighting anti-Semitism are a way for the less able professional Orthodox Jews to make a living. If these race hustlers really had something on the ball, they’d be in traditional Jewish education and running shuls and teaching in yeshivos. Real Torah Jews don’t concern themselves with fighting anti-Semitism (or even analyzing it).

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* As white societies go, so go the Jews living in these societies. If white society breaks downs and the societies become more say… Islamic… that is absolutely not better for Jews living within these societies.

So regardless of the past, at present Jews and whites, including white nationalists, should be working on the same side. Maybe the enemy is indeed disproportionately Jewish but these Jewish elites and leftists are actually becoming the enemy of us run-of-the mill Jews as well.

Basically, at this point, what is good for whites will also be good for Jews. Unless whites go crazy on all Jews. Which seems unlikely at present but there’s the rub – this fear is what prevents Jews from seeing how elites Jews are actually screwing things up.

Outrage Over ‘America Was Never Great’ Hat (Video)

Minorities are going to find fault with the majority culture. It is basic social identity theory. It’s true for blacks, for Jews, for Muslims in America.

The core of America has always been white Christians. Others have felt on the margins.

Outrage Over ‘America Was Never Great’ Hat (Video)

rndr_670x300

Krystal Lake caused outrage on social media for wearing her “America Was Never Great” hat while on the job at a Home Depot in Staten Island, New York, (video below).

Lake’s cap, a play on the “Make America Great Again” slogan of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, went viral on the web this week, prompting praise and threats.

“The point of the hat was to say America needs changing and improvement,” the 22-year-old woman told the Staten Island Advance. “I don’t think it’s a positive message to say, ‘Let’s look to the past.'”

Lake was surprised when a picture of her wearing the hat at Home Depot on May 14 took off on the Internet.

“Everyone kept asking me if I was on Facebook or Twitter, which I hadn’t been, and then I saw how many people were sharing [the picture] and that it was going viral,” Lake recalled. “I was honestly shocked. I didn’t expect any of this to happen.”

Lake added that she did not get in trouble for wearing it.

Home Depot spokesman Stephan Holmes told the news site: “We appreciate and understand the concerns of our loyal customers. In terms of the message, our associates are not permitted to wear items that reflect political statements. Unfortunately, no one on our management team saw her wearing the hat — otherwise, they would have had her remove it immediately.”
