North Carolina's anti-LGBT law will cost the state billions in federal aid.

It's a no-brainer that the anti-LGBT law (and the law's backers) have gotten themselves into a very deep hole. Well, that hole is about to get a hell of a lot deeper.

According to Addicting Info and The Advocate, the Obama Administration is stepping in and issuing governor McCrory an ultimatum: either repeal the law, or billions of dollars in federal aid will be pulled from your state.
North Carolina already faces numerous lawsuits from businesses and from supporters of the LGBT community. Many businesses have made plans to leave the state, if they haven't done so already.

So what will this do to the state of North Carolina? Well, without federal aid and revenue from businesses, schools will start to close. Also, roads will begin to crumble and not get repaired. You can guarantee that many people will lose their jobs. Those who are on housing assistance may find themselves homeless.

Supporters of the anti-LGBT law are calling the ultimatum illegal, saying that the federal government does not have the right to single out NC because of this law.
(Actually, the federal government does have the right to single you out because the law is disparaging a community of individuals based on gender identity and sexual orientation).

My Two Cents:

You guys already know how I feel about this law. It is a repugnant law and a 'slap in the face' to their fellow American. It's tragic that it has come to this for NC, but I guess conservatives would rather be set in their ways, than to save their state.

I have family in NC, and I worry about them. If all of these things happen to NC, what will happen to my family members? What will happen to every family in NC?

To my readers in NC, I know not all of you approve of governor McCrory's anti-lgbt law. What he is doing to your state is horribly wrong and I really hope he repeals the law, and resigns.

Those of us who don't live in NC, we need to understand that many residents of that state disapprove of the anti-lgbt law. We need to be encouraging and supportive to them, as they are the ones suffering the consequences of this law.

Conserva-turds in NC, you've really screwed yourselves BIG TIME. If you give a damn about your fellow citizens, you will remove your heads out of your backsides and repeal this law.

Tiny Home Living: Bodega

-

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

Why TNT did not air the season premiere of "The Last Ship."

Photo credit: screenrant Fans who were awaiting the season premiere of "The Last Ship" last night were met with disappointment. TNT decided to postpone the season 3 premiere due to the tragedy that took place in Orlando, Florida in the early hours of Sunday morning. At least 50 people died, and another 53 were injured when a gunman opened fire at a popular club in Florida. Season 3 of "The Last Ship" was to open with gunshots being fired at a nightclub full of patrons. TNT has not announced a new premiere date for the season premiere of "The Last Ship." My Two Cents I am really glad that TNT had enough respect to postpone the premiere. Even though I am a fan of the show, I think it would be inappropriate to show an episode involving that subject matter. Thank you, TNT! On a personal note, last night my best friend from college told me that a girl that we went to college with was among the victims of the Pulse tragedy: KJ Morris. I didn

Photo Credit: ravishly Actor/Fellow Blogger/My First Crush, Wil Wheaton, went on the attack after Paul Ryan sent out his prayers and condolences to the victims of the Church shooting tragedy. Ryan tweeted for a "call to prayer." Wheaton subsequently posted the following in response: "The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they'd still be alive, you worthless sack of s**t." After receiving a TON of backlash, Wheaton tried to explain his tweet in a series of later tweets: "Hey, real and actual people of faith: I hear you. I apologise for insulting you, in my rage at Paul Ryan's refusal to address gun violence." He also stated that Paul Ryan is someone who exploits his faith by hiding behind his words without conducting actual good deeds. Wheaton also expressed his upset that Ryan refused to address gun violence. My Two Cents The thing I love about Wil Wheaton is that he is not afraid of expressing his opinion.
