…of frivolous lawsuits:

A man says he was so consumed by the spirit of God that he fell and hit his head while at a Knoxville church.

Now he wants Lakewind Church to pay $2.5 million for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering he says he’s endured from his injuries.

Hallelujah!

Hat tip: Crush Liberalism

Continuing in their efforts to erode U.S. sovereignty, a number of leftists groups is suing the government for “discrimination” against illegal aliens. From Corruption Chronicles:

Under the new measure, which was announced by the Department of Homeland Security earlier this month, companies that hire undocumented workers will be heavily fined and criminally prosecuted. Businesses that ignore warning letters about employees suspected of having fake Social Security numbers will also be fined and face criminal prosecution.

But a lawsuit filed against the Department of Homeland Security this week contends that the new rules are discriminatory and will lead to mass firings of legal workers. Even United States citizens will face discrimination if they look or sound foreign, according to the suit.

Filed in a San Francisco federal court this week, the 17-page complaint also names the Social Security Administration as a defendant because it says letters informing businesses of discrepancies between employee records and the agency?s database would violate worker?s rights and impose burdensome obligations on employers.

This suit is absurd on its face. How can the government discriminate against those looking or sounding foreign when they are not looking or listening to the individuals before issuing the letters? This is typical leftist scare-mongering and demagoguery. These groups cannot stand the thought of respecting immigration laws and national sovereignty, and they’ll pull out every dirty trick they can to protect this criminal enterprise.

McDonald’s is once again the target of a multi-million dollar lawsuit, this time for including cheese after a customer expressly asked for none. The customer is allergic to cheese and had to receive emergency care at the hospital.

A Morgantown man, his mother and his friend are suing McDonald’s for $10 million.

The man says he bit into a hamburger and had a severe allergic reaction to the cheese melted on it.

Jeromy Jackson, who is in his early 20s, says he clearly ordered two Quarter Pounders without cheese at the McDonald’s restaurant in Star City before heading to Clarksburg.

His mother Trela Jackson and friend Andrew Ellifritz are parties to the lawsuit because they say they risked their lives rushing Jeromy to United Hospital Center in Clarksburg.

The lawsuit alleges Jeromy “was only moments from death” or serious injury by the time he reached the hospital.

. . .Jeromy did his part to make it known he didn’t want cheese on the hamburgers because he is allergic, Houston said.

He told a worker through the ordering speaker and then two workers face-to-face at the pay and pick-up windows that he couldn’t eat cheese, Houston said.

“By my count, he took at least five independent steps to make sure that thing had no cheese on it,” Houston said. “And it did and almost cost him his life.”

After getting the food, the three drove to Clarksburg and started to eat the food in a darkened room where they were going to watch a movie, Houston said.

Of course Jeromy is not to blame. He did his part, right? What more could he possibly have done to ensure he didn’t eat any cheese? How about inspecting the food before you eat it, Jeromy.

If I knew I could have a life-threatening allergic reaction to a certain food (and that particular food just happened to be something which is regularly included in the item I am planning to eat), you can bet I would make sure to check before I ate that there wasn’t anything on it that I was allergic to, regardless of how many times I specified my needs before ordering. McDonald’s made a mistake, but the ultimate responsibility for what goes into Jeromy’s mouth rests solely with Jeromy. This lawsuit should be dismissed immediately.
