Cincy Mayor – I’ve Got Better Things To Do Than Worry About A Couple Of White People Getting Beat Senseless
Mayor of Cincinnati Aftab Pureval has more important things to do than worry about a pair of Caucasians viciously beaten by a black mob — like restricting our right to bear arms so that we cannot defend ourselves. That’s why he couldn’t be bothered to reach out to the victims:
Victim:
Cincy Mayor on Why He Blew Off White Victims
Here are the words to I’ve got better things to do by Terri Clark.
“Better Things To Do” lyrics
Terri Clark Lyrics
“Better Things To Do”
Don’t tell me the reason that you’re calling
Is to see if I’m all right since you’ve been gone
‘Cause I know you and I know why we’re talking
You’re wanting me to say I’m barely hanging on
Well, maybe that was true for a night or two
But now, I got better things to do
[Chorus:]
I could wash my car in the rain
Change my new guitar strings
Mow the yard just the same as I did yesterday
I don’t need to waste my time crying over you
I got better things to do
Maybe when I don’t have so much going
Or quite so many irons in the fire
I’ll take the time to miss you like you’re hoping
But now, I can’t put forth the effort it requires
Well, I’d love to talk to you, but then, I’d miss Donahue
That’s right, I got better things to do
[Repeat Chorus]
Check the air in my tires
Straighten my stereo wires
Count the stars in the sky or just get on with my life
I don’t need to waste my time crying over you
I got better things to do
I got better things to do

Political Meme’s
Government Waste That Should Really Piss You Off
Why have there been so many air traffic control issues lately? Is it because Trump has begun to trim a little fat from the bloated federal bureaucracy, as the media would have us believe? Or is it because for 4 years the secretary of transportation was a left-wing nitwit whose only job qualification was that he is ostentatiously homosexual?
The Air Traffic Control is being run off of diskettes, Musk found that out.
The New York Post reports:
Pete Buttigieg failed to replace outdated air traffic control systems while in office — with his agency instead shelling out tens of billions of dollars on a DEI agenda, according to federal spending records and airline industry insiders.
The effect of DEI on air safety is predictable.
In one meeting, Buttigieg — who is said to be eyeing a 2028 presidential run — told industry executives that air traffic control upgrades would just allow them to fly more planes, “and so why would that be in his interest?” sources said.
According to Democrat ideology, transportation makes it be too hot outside by requiring energy, so why would he want to facilitate Americans having more of it?
What his department was really interested in was handing out hundreds of diversity, equity and inclusion grants totaling more than $80 billion over four years — at least half of the DOT’s entire budget for a typical fiscal year, records show.
Again we see that the Biden Administration was not so much a government as a looting spree.
“He was definitely pushing an agenda,” an air industry official said, noting the transportation secretary had “little to no interest” and took “definitely zero action” toward air traffic control modernization.
Gobbling up our money on behalf of their malevolent agenda is the whole point for Democrats. That’s why their transportation secretary was not required to know anything about transportation.
As of last month, an Emerson College poll of registered voters found the former transportation secretary leading the 2028 Democratic presidential primary field with 16% support, followed by ex-Vice President Kamala Harris at 13%.
Among Democrats, this kooky and incompetent creep is a star.

The Mandolorian Actor Is A Flaming Liberal, Yet They Fired Gina Carino – Feminists? Anyone?
Hollywood actor Pedro Pascal launched an attack against “Harry Potter” series author J.K. Rowling on Tuesday, when a Vanity Fair cover story came out in which he called her a bully who makes him “f***ing sick” for her stance on the transgenderism.
“Bullies make me f***ing sick,” he told Vanity when the topic of J.K. Rowling came up.
The author has been at the center of controversy for her refusal to acknowledge people as being the opposite sex of which they were born.
Pascal reportedly has a self-proclaimed transgender younger sibling and had already gone after Rowling for purportedly exhibiting “heinous loser behavior” earlier this year.
This was due to her celebrating a U.K. Supreme Court ruling that stated self-proclaimed transgender women cannot legally be considered women and self-proclaimed transgender men are not to be legally considered men.
It’s odd how he did not use his up-and-coming clout to “help” his former Disney co-star Gina Carano when she was sandbagged and fired by Disney for expressing personal views on social media about hatred becoming toxic.
Because she invoked Nazi Germany as an example, she was cancelled.
Carano sued Disney and won a recent ruling that will force the conglomerate to produce documents related to Pascal and other actors.
She co-starred with him on “The Mandalorian” as Cara Dune, a fan-favorite character, for two seasons.
Carino is winning her suit against Disney for discrimination, for shit sjust like what Pedro did.

Who’s Racist Now? – NAACP Hits Trump with a Snub Not Seen in 116 Years
In a historic snub, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has announced that it will not be inviting President Donald Trump to its annual national convention.
The NAACP made the announcement Monday and denigrated Trump’s character in doing so.
“For 116 years, the NAACP has invited the sitting president of the United States to address the NAACP National Convention — regardless of their political party,” NAACP president and CEO Derrick Johnson said in a statement.
“There is a rich history of both Republicans and Democrats attending our convention — from Harry Truman to Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and beyond.
Through his construction companies, I bet he’s given more blacks jobs than anyone in Congress. Discriminate based on skin color and you are a racist.

Black racism is bigger than basketball
Some black players are upset because Caitlin Clark is such an outstanding performer on the court: how dare a white, straight woman be competition to the black players? The basketball court has always been primarily their domain. And the black community which sees itself as victims doesn’t realize that they are putting themselves in this pitiful position, all by themselves.
Caitlin Clark isn’t afraid to speak out against this vicious behavior:
‘Nobody in our league should be facing any sort of racism, hurtful, disrespectful, hateful comments, and threats,’ Clark said. ‘Those aren’t fans, those are trolls, and it’s a real disservice to the people in our league, the organization and the WNBA.’
[snip]
‘There are a lot of really good fans, whether they’ve been fans for 20+ years or they’re new fans in our league,’ Clark said. ‘I think continuing to uplift this league in a very positive light is the best thing we can do… there are so many positive storylines that can be written and celebrated.’
The WNBA launched another investigation into alleged racism toward Angel Reese, who portrays herself as Clark’s chief rival. Once again, the league found nothing. Angel Smollett struck again.
Add that to the growing list of hoaxes in the world of sports.
Meanwhile, there are actual examples of racism in the WNBA. Days after Reese appeared to lie to reporters about the alleged racist chants, she shared a TikTok video mocking Clark as a little ‘white girl afraid to catch a fade’ with a photo of Reese trying to fight her.
Last Thursday, Brittney Griner appeared to utter ‘Trash, fucking white girl’ from the bench of a game against the Fever.
If you discriminate based on skin color, it’s racism.

Anonymous Biden Staffers Go Scorched Earth After “Incompetent” Karine Jean-Pierre Defects
I worked in Press Communications for many companies. I can be a judge of this. She was a DEI hire. It had to be for as bad of a job as she did, professsionally speaking. She couldn’t even get hired on the view, a place for some of the dumbest females in America
It only took one day after former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre left the Democrat party for anonymous Biden staffers to stab her in the back.
According to Axios‘ Alex Thompson, “Many of her former colleagues think Jean-Pierre — the face of the White House for more than two years — was part of the problem.”
And while Thompson’s book about the coverup of Biden’s cognitive decline only mentions her twice (great reporting Alex!), many former Biden aides “quietly had fumed for years, believing she was incompetent at her job at the White House podium and more interested in promoting herself than Joe Biden.”
Thompson reports – just not in his book about this exact thing – that Jean-Pierre was a ‘key part of the effort to conceal Biden’s decline, vouching for his fitness and insisting the president, then 81, was “as sharp as ever” even after last June’s disastrous debate against Donald Trump.’
Jean-Pierre announced in her new book, Independent, that she was leaving the Democrat party and switching her affiliation to independent after working in two Democratic administrations.
“At noon on that day, I became a private citizen who, like all Americans and many of our allies around the world, had to contend with what was to come next for our country. I determined that the danger we face as a country requires freeing ourselves of boxes. We need to be willing to exercise the ability to think creatively and plan strategically.”
And the knives came out immediately…
One former Biden official who worked closely with Jean-Pierre told Thompson that she “was one of the most ineffectual and unprepared people I’ve ever worked with. … She had meltdowns after any interview that asked about a topic not sent over by producers.”
“She didn’t know how to manage a team, didn’t know how to shape or deliver a message, and often created more problems than she solved,” the person said.
Another former Biden communications official went further – saying “The hubris of thinking you can position yourself as an outsider when you not only have enjoyed the perks of extreme proximity to power — which … bestows the name recognition needed to sell books off your name — but have actively wielded it from the biggest pulpit there is, is as breathtaking as it is desperate … It’s difficult to see how this is anything but a bizarre cash grab,” referring to Jean-Pierre’s new book.

Nobody Likes Them In Their Town Anyway
A host of American corporations are backpedaling from their involvement in gay pride events this year amid the Trump administration’s rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts across the country.
There have been a growing number of reports that organizers of major gay pride parades and festivals across the U.S. are scrambling for funds due to several longtime corporate sponsors scaling back their support of LGBTQ events. Some scholars explained to the Daily Caller News Foundation that news of companies pulling back from pride events may reflect a broader shift away from DEI in corporate America.
“We are seeing major companies, in meaningful numbers, either eliminating or modifying their DEI programs, which certainly does include sponsoring LGBTQ+ pride events and so on,” Stefan Padfield, the executive director of the National Center’s Free Enterprise Project, told the DCNF. “I think really the bottom line here is that there has just arisen an awareness on the part of executives that this promotion of these [pride] events runs such a meaningful risk of being perceived as pushing transgender ideology on parents … I think corporations have finally woken up to the reality that that’s a very big risk for them to be taking.”

COCA-COLA IS POISON!

What in the fresh hell is this? This is a taste of Joe Biden’s America—and it’s quite nasty. The political correctness mobs, the seminars, the pseudo-intellectual race theories—they’re all trickling through and it will take brave whistleblowers to expose this nonsense. Take the Coca-Cola company. It’s soda. It’s delicious. And it’s being tainted by this left-wing crapola. An internal whistleblower at the company sent screenshots to Dr. Karlyn Borysenko, a YouTube vlogger and psychologist, who did a deep dive into this seminar from hell.
I mean, the screenshots are enough to make you puke. Coca-Cola apparently wants their white employees to be “less white.” What does that entail?

NASA Jettisons ‘Climate Advisor,’ DEI Branch, and Other Drags on Space Program
The last time I wrote about the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) together, agency staffers were begging President Donald Trump’s DOGE chairman Elon Musk to ‘clean house’, as insiders revealed the agency squandered millions of taxpayer money on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs.
Their wish has been granted, and less than 100 days into Trump’s second term.
Janet Petro, the acting director of NASA, announced the move Monday in a memo to staff obtained by USA TODAY, calling it a “phased reduction in force” that is “occurring in advance” of a Thursday deadline for agencies to submit layoff plans to the government’s human resources arm.
The memo did not disclose how many NASA jobs will be cut.
The cuts will close NASA’s Office of Technology, Policy and Strategy; the Office of the Chief Scientist; and the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility branch within the Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity, the memo said. The agency would also reduce the workforce in the Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity.
The mainstream media may decry the axe of the “Chief Scientist,” but that “scientist” was actually a climate advisor.
Real space missions are back on the menu:
The cuts affect about 20 employees at NASA, including Katherine Calvin, the chief scientist and a climate science expert. The last day of work for Dr. Calvin and the other staff members will be April 10.
That could be a harbinger of deeper cuts to NASA’s science missions and a greater emphasis on human spaceflight, especially to Mars. During President Trump’s address to Congress last week, he said, “We are going to lead humanity into space and plant the American flag on the planet Mars and even far beyond.”
Change!!!!!
NASA chief scientist Katherine Calvin among 20+ staff laid off under Trump admin
Changes signal potential NASA shift from climate science toward human spaceflight
Military also cutting 90+ studies labeled “climate change crap” by Defense Sec Hegsethhttps://t.co/7bg6DdH17C
— George P (@PrinceGeorgeK) March 11, 2025
The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) branch and another department are also closing.
NASA’s Office of Technology, Policy, and Strategy, meanwhile, was only established in 2021 and serves as the home for the space agency’s chief economist and chief technologist, who provide the administrator “with analytic, strategic, and decisional insights in the form of quick-turn analyses,memos, and reports,” according to its website.
The third NASA office targeted, coordinating the agency’s DEIA efforts, was also the least surprising, as President Donald Trump’s administration has declared it would eliminate such efforts across the government.
What is perhaps most interesting about this news is that this is the agency’s first round of layoffs, and the firings targeted senior leadership.
These are NASA’s first firings since Trump took office, and they have taken a different pattern to those at other federal agencies in the past few weeks.
NASA was spared, for unknown reasons, from the extensive lay-offs of probationary employees — those with little job protection because they have been in their positions for less than two years — seen at other agencies.
The move makes NASA the first agency under the current Trump administration to pre-emptively fire career employees, beginning the required ‘reductions in force’ (RIFs) sooner than many observers had anticipated. It remains unclear whether other agencies might follow NASA’s lead.
Divisions closed include Office of the Chief Scientist; the Office of Technology, Policy and Strategy; and the DEI branch of its Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity.
Reductions in workforce at NASA have begun.

DEI = DIE: Voicemail Recording Exposes Shocking Way Some Minority Air Traffic Controller Candidates Passed Tests – Report
In the latest twist in the DEI scandal that’s rocked the Federal Aviation Administration’s air traffic controller testing, a diversity activist was allegedly caught in a recorded message promising answers to a behavioral examination for prospective controllers — but only if they were minorities or women.
While rumors of the answers being leaked to the National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees have been in the public domain since well before the DEI scandal burst following a collision between a jetliner and a military helicopter on the approach to Ronald Reagan National Airport outside Washington, D.C., in January, the recording of Shelton Snow — a major figure in the NBCFAE — obtained by the U.K.’s Daily Mail seems to confirm those rumors.
“There are some valuable pieces of information that I have taken a screenshot of and I am going to send that to you via email,” Snow said in the message, first published Wednesday.
“I am about 99.99 percent sure that it is exactly how you need to answer each question,” he added.
“Washington Suburban associate members, brothers, and sisters … I know that each of you are eager, very eager to apply for this job vacancy … and trust that after tonight, you will be able to do so,” he said.
“I am asking that you … allow me to provide you with an email that will be extremely crucial in the opening stages of this hiring process,” he added.
“There is some valuable pieces of information that I have taken a screenshot of, and I’m going to send that to you via email. Trust and believe it will be something that you will appreciate to the utmost. Keep in mind, we are trying to maximize your opportunities.”
As the Daily Mail noted, the message came in 2014, after the Obama-era FAA “had controversially replaced its peer-reviewed cognitive exam with a ‘biographical’ quiz asking things like ‘how would you describe your ideal job’ and ‘classmates would remember me as humble or dominant?’
“Critics say the quixotic blend of multiple-choice questions was designed to screen out elite, mostly white students from FAA-accredited college courses who excelled in traditional aptitude tests,” the outlet noted. “Nonetheless, it was proving incredibly tricky for anyone to pass — with a 90 percent failure rate — when Snow decided to intervene.”
A Jan. 15, 2014 email from Snow, who was then president of the Washington Suburban chapter of the NBCFAE, laid out ways to stand out from the rest — including “buzz words” to be incorporated into applications.
“These buzzwords will flag your resume, thereby giving you the advantage over thousands of resumes that may flood the system,” he said.
Meanwhile, an agenda Snow set for a December 2013 “powwow” encouraged members to share that they were with the NBCFAE.
“This is for us to know who our people are in the case that we have one of our own on the board,” the agenda read.

Google Calendar Cuts Pride Month, Black History Month And More Observances—Here Are All The Companies Rolling Back DEI
Good, kill it dead. It just divides the country and is a Marxist tactic by Holder and Obama.
Google Calendar no longer marks the start of cultural observances including Pride Month, Black History Month and Women’s History Month, marking the latest major company policy changes in a wave of backlash against DEI that has become a central issue of President Donald Trump’s second term.

Timeline
Feb. 10Days after it cut diversity hiring goals, a Google spokesperson told CNBC it no longer marks the start of cultural observances like Pride Month and Black History Month because “maintaining hundreds of moments manually and consistently globally wasn’t scalable or sustainable,” though it said it began making these changes in mid-2024.
Feb. 7NPR first reported more than a dozen companies have pared back, or removed altogether, references to diversity, equity and inclusion in their 2024 annual reports to investors, including Pepsi, GM, Google, Disney, GE, Intel, PayPal, Chipotle and Comcast (GM removed all references to diversity, NPR reported, while Pepsi removed nearly all references after writing in its investor report last year DEI is a “competitive advantage.”)
Feb. 7Professional services company Accenture said it would no longer use diversity targets in hiring and promoting, citing the Trump administration’s push for private companies to roll back DEI goals, the company’s chief executive Julie Sweet said in a memo to staff, Bloomberg reported.
Feb. 7Amazon’s annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for 2024 omitted a section included in the company’s prior annual report, which indicated Amazon has a focus on “inclusion and diversity” in hiring (the news was first reported by CNBC).
Feb. 6The government-funded railroad service Amtrak confirmed to Bloomberg it would roll back its DEI programs and policies, which appeared to include efforts to hire and promote diverse employees and employee resource groups, according to the company’s 2023 diversity report.
Feb. 5Google informed its employees in an email that it will no longer have hiring targets around improving diverse representation among its staff, The Wall Street Journal first reported, and it is evaluating whether to continue other DEI programs and release DEI reports—though it will continue having resource groups for underrepresented staff members.
Jan. 28The Smithsonian Institution told employees its diversity office is closing as a “first step” to address Trump’s new federal policy that declared DEI programs as “dangerous” and “demeaning,” the Washington Post reported, and the link to the institution’s 2022 diversity and inclusion initiatives report and link to its equal employment opportunity policy are broken.
Jan. 24Target, which had already curbed its LGBTQ Pride merchandise line in response to conservative backlash, announced it would pull back on racial hiring targets, end its Racial Equity Action and Change program and cease participation in external diversity surveys, with chief community impact and equity officer Kiera Fernandez telling employees in a memo the decisions were made based on “many years of data” and an effort to stay “in step with the evolving external landscape.”
Jan. 17The FBI confirmed in a statement to Forbes it had closed its DEI office—a frequent target of attacks by Republicans—in December, prompting President-elect Donald Trump to demand the agency “preserve and retain all records” relating to the shuttered office as he accused the FBI of “corruption” in a Truth Social post.
Jan. 10Amazon said it would roll back what it called “outdated programs and materials” in an internal memo, though it did not specify what would be discontinued, while certain programs aimed at addressing disparities would continue until the disparities are eliminated
Jan. 10Meta said in a memo the company ended several programs intended to increase its hiring of diverse candidates, including its equity and inclusion training programs, after Janelle Gale, Meta’s vice president of people, said the “legal and policy landscape” surrounding DEI efforts in the U.S. is “changing.”
Jan. 6McDonald’s announced it would abandon specific diversity targets, cease participation in external surveys that measure company demographics and would rename its diversity team to “Global Inclusion Team,” citing the Supreme Court decision that ended affirmative action at universities and similar DEI walkbacks by other corporations, though it said it would continue to report demographic information in its own annual report.
Nov. 25, 2024Walmart said it would abandon its DEI commitments, including winding down a Center for Racial Equity nonprofit it had founded in 2020 with a $100 million, 5-year commitment, ceasing third-party sellers from offering certain LGBTQ-themed products on its website, no longer participating in the Human Rights Campaign’s external surveys and phasing out the term “diversity, equity and inclusion” in company documents.
Nov. 1, 2024Boeing dismantled its global diversity, equity and inclusion department and redirected its staff to its human resources department to focus on talent acquisition and employee experience, Bloomberg reported.
Sept. 4, 2024Molson Coors, which had in 2023 defended a feminist-themed ad that sparked conservative backlash, said it would abandon supplier diversity quotas, shift DEI training sessions to focus on business objectives and stop participating in external diversity surveys, despite previously receiving a perfect 100 from the Human Rights Campaign for its LGBTQ policies.
Aug. 28, 2024Lowe’s said in an internal memo it would combine its employee resource groups into one umbrella organization, cease participating in HRC surveys and would stop participating in external events like Pride parades.
Aug. 28, 2024Ford Motor Co. informed employees it would stop participating in external diversity surveys and would evolve its employee resource groups to focus on networking and mentorship to all employees, citing the evolving “external and legal environment related to political and social issues.”
Aug. 22, 2024Jack Daniel’s manufacturer Brown-Forman told employees it would no longer tie executive compensation to DEI progress, remove workforce and supplier diversity goals and cease participating in the HRC index, citing the shifting “legal and external landscape.”
Aug. 19, 2024Harley-Davidson said it abandoned its “DEI function” in April and said it does not utilize diversity quotas for hiring or suppliers, and that it would no longer participate in HRC surveys or partner with sponsors that do not focus on its “loyal riding community.”
July 16, 2024Farm equipment manufacturer John Deere said it would no longer support “cultural awareness” events like Pride parades and would audit company documents to remove “socially-motivated messages,” adding that diversity quotas and pronoun identification have never been company policy, though it said it would continue to internally track employee diversity.
Contra
Costco has refused to back down from its DEI policies. The company’s shareholders overwhelmingly voted to reject a proposal that would have obligated the company to review the potential risks of maintaining its DEI initiatives, with more than 98% of shareholders voting against the proposal. The board said it “believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary.” Apple’s board similarly urged shareholders to reject a proposal raised by the same think tank, accusing the group of “inappropriately” attempting to “restrict Apple’s ability to manage its own ordinary business operations.” Delta Airlines also said it remains committed to DEI on a Jan. 10 earnings call. Peter Carter, the company’s executive vice president for external affairs, told a reporter the company is not reevaluating DEI or sustainability policies because “they are actually critical to our business,” stating DEI is “about talent and that’s been our focus.” Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins told Axios “a diverse workforce is better” because “there’s too much business value.” Robbins said the DEI backlash is being treated as a “single issue” when it is really “made up of 150 different things, and maybe seven of them got a little out of hand,” but those few things are “going to get solved and then you’re going to be left with common sense.” Deutsche Bank CEO Christian Sewing said at a press conference the company stands “firmly behind” its “integral” DEI programs, stating the company can “see how Deutsche Bank has benefited from it,” making it the latest bank to defend DEI after conservative groups filed shareholder proposals at various banks urging them to review their diversity policies. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said at a press conference ahead of Super Bowl LIX the NFL—which requires teams to interview at least two minority candidates for vacant head coach, general manager and coordinator positions as part of its broader commitment to diversity—will continue its diversity efforts “because we’ve not only convinced ourselves, I think we’ve proven … that it does make the NFL better,” and he added: “We’re not in this because it’s a trend to get into it or a trend to get out of it.”

A United America Is Democrats’ Undoing
Diversity is not our strength, Unity is
Of all the things I loathe about the Democrat party, its celebration of victimhood takes the cake. As is true of all political parties infected with virulent Marxism, it does not seek to help those truly in need. It does the opposite. It seeks out people who might never have seen themselves as victims and convinces them otherwise. It is a party whose growth in membership is directly proportional to Democrats’ capacity to convert Americans into victims.
Once a person understands Democrats’ pathological need to harvest new victims, it becomes obvious that they are not in the business of solving problems. Fixing anything in society only reduces the number of future Democrats. By celebrating victimhood, Democrats are committed to making things worse today than they were yesterday and even worse tomorrow than they are today. Their growth model depends upon perpetual misery.
Americans saw this self-destructive phenomenon play out during Obama’s presidency. Before the 2008 election, race relations between black and white Americans had steadily improved since the ’60s. Racism was widely rejected as a repugnant practice of the past. In fact, discrimination based upon the color of a person’s skin had become so offensive that courts were dismantling affirmative action programs that explicitly prioritized race over merit. A lot of Republican voters, unhappy with their party’s nomination of Senator John McCain, crossed lines and voted for Barack Obama’s nebulous promise of “hope and change” with the expectation that a post-racial America would take root.
President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder chose another path. They looked for ways to inflame racial tensions. They deconstructed a half-century of American racial progress by routinely injecting racial controversy into matters that had nothing to do with skin color. A black Harvard professor is detained in the Democrat stronghold of Cambridge, Massachusetts? That’s because all cops are unconsciously racist (even the black ones). A black male dies in a confrontation with a neighborhood watchman? That’s because black boys are hunted outside their own communities. Americans don’t want to pay more for worse health care? That’s because wealthy white Americans are too selfish to understand the appeal of socialized medicine.
Whenever policymakers fought Obama administration policy, charges of racism were not so subtly leveled against them. Instead of finally terminating affirmative action programs and other race-based discrimination, Obama and Holder reinvigorated an otherwise dying system of racial preferences and rebranded discrimination as a “virtue” under the umbrella of the Marxist tripe we know now as “diversity, inclusion, and equity.” When Obama was elected, race relations inside the United States had never been better. After eight years of an Obama-Holder strategy to make every policy dispute a racial dispute, race relations had severely deteriorated. There is perhaps no better example of how backward Democrats’ notion of “progress” truly is.
Setting aside the tangible social harm that Obama and Holder inflicted upon Americans, it is not difficult to understand why they chose division over unity. Had President Obama framed his election victory as vivid proof that Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream was reality — proof, in other words, that the content of an American’s character matters much more than the color of that American’s skin — a generational struggle against racial prejudice would have been largely resolved.
Had Obama declared victory over racism, he would have become a transformational figure in American history. But Democrats are not in the business of solving problems. Solving problems diminishes the supply of potential victims. And Democrats’ political success depends upon an ever-growing class of self-identifying victims.
When seen from this perspective, it is easy to understand how cancerous the Democrats’ governing philosophy is. Unity — or the cultivation of a common national identity and purpose — is antithetical to Democrats’ Marxist directive to rally the “oppressed” against their “oppressors.” By design, Democrats cultivate grievance and conflict. They isolate subsets of American society, convince those subsets that they are victims, and cynically exploit Americans’ shared desire to seek justice for the oppressed. For Democrats, whether some isolated group has actually been treated unfairly or unjustly is irrelevant. They stir social passions by maximizing perceived insults felt from real or imagined grievances. Then they feed on those passions to create explosive political movements capable of transforming imaginary victimhood into real political power.
Since the nineteenth century, Marxism has tried to cultivate grievance among a majority of blue-collar workers, but America’s working class has stubbornly resisted. However bad working conditions might have been in the United States since its inception, the country long maintained the highest rate of intergenerational social mobility in the world. The children of indentured servants became farmers. The children of farmers became skilled tradesmen. The children of skilled tradesmen became entrepreneurs. The children of entrepreneurs became lawyers, bankers, and even politicians.
In other words, for most of America’s history, the United States has been a “land of opportunity” unburdened by traditional strictures of social caste. Marxists found it difficult to create a class revolution when American workers were too busy making money and buying land. Coincidentally or not, intergenerational social mobility in the United States declined only after the rise of the Federal Reserve central banking system, the implementation of broadly enforced income taxes, growing encumbrances upon private property, and the rapid expansion of the twentieth-century regulatory state.

NSA Reportedly Purges Agency’s Websites Of DEI Terms
And Eric Holder, who was able to insert some racial bias into every situation. Textbooks should be written about how he and Obama set back race relations by decades. They did the same with gender and fagotry.
Growing up, we didn’t know people were different until the grownups said so. We didn’t have any tranny kids or any that didn’t know what gender they were or bathroom they went to.
The National Security Agency (NSA) is reportedly scrubbing its website content of newly banned terms, including “gender identity,” “allyship,” and “anti-racism.”
NSA websites and internal network pages containing any of the 27 banned terms will be deleted Feb. 10, according to a memo sent to staff obtained by Popular Information.
Anti-Racism, racism, DEI, equity, feminism, sexuality, and a litany of other terms are also banned, according to Popular Information, which first reported on the memo Monday. The memo notes that some of the banned words are used in other contexts not pertaining to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), the report added.
And people are afraid to stand up and say it’s bullshit because I’m not a racist, even if you call me one to make your case.

We can get rid of Woke and DEI and make our country better, and a helluva lot more normal again. We shouldn’t be paying these people to discriminate against the rest of the country.

A conservative group has set up a “DEI Watchlist” with dossiers on civil servants it claims pushed diversity policies at US agencies. The website shows information and photos of the workers it labels as “targets.” Most of those named are minorities or women.

Tucker Carlson Uncovered Devastating FAA Emails in 2018, Proved Obama Team Knew They Were Playing with Fire
In June 2018, then-Fox News host Carlson covered the topic, saying, “The Obama administration pressured the FAA to meet abstract diversity goals. Now nobody bothered to explain why diversity is a relevant criterion for air traffic controllers. No one will explain it now.”
Carlson explained that the FAA added a biographical questionnaire to the air traffic controller application process, which he said gave more points to would-be controllers who lacked a scientific background or who had been unemployed for the previous three years than they did to licensed pilots.
“In other words, the FAA actively searched for unqualified air traffic controllers. That is insane, and they knew it was insane when they did it, but they did it anyway,” he said.
In an email Carlson said he obtained, the executive who created the biographical questionnaire “admits that the test he devised has nothing to do with finding the best air traffic controllers. If you want good air traffic controllers, find people with experience. That was his advice. The FAA ignored this, and used the biographical screen anyway. … Compared to diversity, your safety meant nothing to them.”

DEI Racism At United Air Lines
Last year, I reported on a tip from a United pilot that a near-fatal incident in Houston was the result of a fired employee being rehired through their DEI program
I was told I was a lying racist.
The Houston 767 incident report is out. I was 100% right:
“The first officer’s training records showed inconsistencies in airplane handling as recent as a few months before the accident. He received an unsatisfactory performance rating and, upon re-evaluation, a satisfactory rating with a condition to recheck after 90 days (instead of 9 months). This was due to, among other things, marginal performance with landings.”
it’s not just in the ATC towers, it permeates the air travel industry. I want meritocracy to get on a plane. Give me the best and most qualified. Fuck their color or anything else. Be qualified

‘There Were 503 Lapses’: Kris Kobach Breaks Down Consequences of Hiring DEI in Aviation
“In 2023, based on internal statistics at [the Federal Aviation Administration], there were 503 lapses of in-air traffic controller decisions, which was up to 65% over the previous year,” Kobach said. “And The New York Times reported also in 2023 that there were 300 near collisions in the preceding 12 months, which was double what it had been a decade earlier. So, these decisions about whom you hire have consequences.”
The attorney general then praised President Donald Trump’s immediate action against DEI initiatives.
“I think President Trump got it right when he immediately ended the DEI hiring in the FAA and in the air traffic controller world. But we want the best people. Whether it’s my pilot, my air traffic controller, or my surgeon, I don’t care what skin color they have,” Kobach said. “All I want is the most competent, skilled person because their decision could end my life in a second. I think most Americans would agree with that.”
In 2024 alone, FAA data reported that the Reagan Washington National Airport experienced at least eight near-midair collisions, according to The New York Times. The FAA has consistently said that due to a lack of air traffic controllers on the Eastern Seaboard, it has had to limit the number of flights allowed through the region.
The plane involved in the collision carried 60 passengers and four crew members. Three soldiers were on the helicopter, and it was reported that no one survived the incident. Newly confirmed U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said that both aircraft were following their designated flight paths during the incident.
fuck flying until they get some competent people in the tower. Get rid of the diversity hire and bring back air safety

Why It’s Time DEI Dies
A just future is a color-blind future. The evil of racism is that it pits ethnic groups against each other. A society with diverse racial groups cannot cohesively exist in unity if these ethnic differences are elevated as primary identity delimiters that are to be held above all else. A truly unified and just society would view racial differences as insignificantly as it viewed differences in eye color. It recognizes that people look different, but they are still people like everyone else.
This is why the leftist woke “diversity, equity, and inclusion” movement is, in fact, unjust. Rather than seeking to unite people under their common humanity, this ideology divides people based on their racial differences and then applies broad sweeping prejudices upon these racial groups using the Marxist ethic of oppressor vs. oppressed.
DEI is little more than Marxism wrapped in race.
It was Obama’s way of hating straight, white men and advancing socialism and Marxism. That was the fundamental transformation of America he spoke about

Racist Eric Holder Panics Over Trumps’ DEI Dismantlement
President Donald Trump has taken significant action through executive orders to dismantle the diversity, equity, and inclusion complex that has taken hold in federal departments and in much of corporate America. For example, he instructed the federal government to investigate private sector DEI initiatives involving the potentially illegal use of race-conscious preferences.
Many of the companies now scrambling to avoid running afoul of anti-discrimination laws—and an administration willing to enforce them—hired prominent law firms to conduct race and diversity “audits,” a practice that ramped up in 2020 following the murder of George Floyd. One of the so-called diversity experts in high demand was corporate lawyer Eric Holder, the controversial former attorney general under Barack Obama.
Starbucks hired Holder, who charges as much as $2,300 an hour for his time, to conduct a “civil rights audit” in 2018. He recommended a series of policy changes to promote “equity” at the company, which implemented many of Holder’s suggestions only to be slapped with a shareholder lawsuit alleging the new policies violated non-discrimination laws. So it comes as no surprise that Trump’s executive orders have caused “fear and confusion” among corporate leaders, according to the New York Times.
Holder, who is also rumored to be panicking as a result of Trump’s action, recently circulated a memo to his corporate clients attempting to assuage their concerns. The memo, which was exclusively and semi-legally obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, is reprinted below for your immediate enjoyment:
Memo here with excerpt
Many of you have contacted me with questions regarding President Trump’s recent executive orders and the legal implications for the DEI policies I allegedly advised your companies to implement. While stipulating that these policies were enacted solely at the discretion of a corporate executive who may or may not have been acting on the advice of outside legal counsel, I strongly urge you consider taking the following steps to reduce your risk of federal prosecution:
What is important is how Holder sees everything through racism and his being black:
For much of his life, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. carried around something peculiar. While most people keep cash, family photos, and credit cards in their wallets, Holder revealed to a reporter in 1996 that he keeps with him an old clipping of a quote from Harlem preacher Reverend Samuel D. Proctor. Holder put the clipping in his wallet in 1971, when he was studying history at Columbia University, and kept it in wallet after wallet over the ensuing decades.
What were Proctor’s words that Holder found so compelling?
“Blackness is another issue entirely apart from class in America. No matter how affluent, educated and mobile [a black person] becomes, his race defines him more particularly than anything else. Black people have a common cause that requires attending to, and this cause does not allow for the rigid class separation that is the luxury of American whites. There is a sense in which every black man is as far from liberation as the weakest one if his weakness is attributable to racial injustice.”
When asked to explain the passage, Holder replied, “It really says that … I am not the tall U.S. attorney, I am not the thin United States attorney. I am the black United States attorney. And he was saying that no matter how successful you are, there’s a common cause that bonds the black United States attorney with the black criminal or the black doctor with the black homeless person.”
Has anyone ever asked Holder what exactly is the “common cause” that binds the black attorney general and the black criminal? More important, what should the black attorney general do about this common cause? Should the black criminal feel empathy for the black attorney general, or more likely, do the favors only flow in one direction?
Holder’s explanation of Proctor’s quote offers some key insights into our attorney general’s worldview. First, being “more particular” than anything else, skin color limits and defines Americans — in other words, race comes first for Holder.

Zuckerberg Blames Sheryl Sanberg For Meta’s DEI Bias
DEI favors some groups over others, be it because of either social pressure or Corporate lending practices (Blackrock).
Zuckerberg is cleaning house, and eliminating the “inclusive” culture that Sheryl Sanberg brought in. Inclusive meaning hiring certain groups based on gender or race.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly trash-talked his former top lieutenant Sheryl Sandberg during his visit to Mar-a-Lago, blaming her for implementing controversial DEI initiatives at Facebook that “encouraged employees’ self-expression in the workplace.”
Zuckerberg, who has drawn criticism for cozying up to the new administration, made the comment during a sit-down with President-elect Donald Trump’s advisers at his Florida retreat shortly after the Republican’s historic election victory in November, according to the New York Times.
The discussions on Nov. 27 — which included Stephen Miller, who will take over as White House deputy chief of staff — covered a range of hot-button topics such as the administration’s expected crackdown on immigration, and diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, the Times reported.
Miller told Zuckerberg that the billionaire mogul had “an opportunity to help reform America, but it would be on Trump’s terms,” according to the Times.
Imagine the white male talent that got overlooked and hired by their competitors.

Los Angeles Fires, Why DEI And Woke Fail In Leadership
There have been 15,000 acres, 1,000 structures destroyed. Nobody knows how many people are killed or missing. And how do we characterize this? Everybody’s talking about the Santa Ana winds, climate change—I mean everybody, the people in power.
But it was preventable. And once it started, this fire, it could have been assuaged. You could have had it lessened, that the severity didn’t have to be as catastrophic. So, I would characterize it as a DEI–Green New Deal hydrogen bomb. It’s something out of “Dante’s Inferno.”
And what I mean by that is, it’s a systems breakdown, a civilizational collapse. When you look at the people in charge, [California Gov.] Gavin Newsom flew in, to sort of do these performance-art stunts, but he has systematically ensured that water out of the Sacramento River and the watershed of Northern California would go out to the sea, rather than into the aqueduct, so Los Angeles didn’t have sufficient amounts of water.
He bragged not very long ago that he blew up four dams on the Klamath River. They provided 80,000 homes with clean hydroelectric power. They offered recreation, flood control, irrigation. He blew them up.
California’s fire management, whether we look at the Paradise Fire or the Aspen Fire near where I’m speaking, it destroyed 60 million trees. We have no timber industry in California. [Newsom’s] dismantled it.
We don’t clean the forest. We don’t let loggers come in and have a viable livelihood by harvesting trees. It’s sort of considered natural to let these things burn or to at least create the conditions in which they will inevitably be burned.
It’s almost as if we don’t like humans. We worry about grubs and worms and birds and the ecosystem.
The second breakdown was the mayor, Karen Bass, was in Africa. You tell me why the mayor of the third-largest city in the United States at fire season, when she had been warned and warned for days on end that the Santa Ana winds were up to 100 miles an hour in the evening, and there was a danger of fire, and she goes off to Africa for the inauguration of the president of Ghana.
With all due respect, Mayor, but who cares? You have an obligation to the 6 million people of greater Los Angeles. And then we have the fire chief. I don’t really care that she’s LGBTQ, I don’t care [about] any of that. All I do care is her emphases. She’s been bragging for the last two years that her goal was to make sure [the Fire Department] was diverse and inclusive.
That can be good if it’s competent. But when you announce that 70% of your hiring will not be meritocratic, but will be based on diversity, equity, inclusion, then you’re not putting the interest of your constituents first.
There were not even enough, there wasn’t enough water pressure in Pacific Palisades. Pacific Palisades is not where I live. It’s one of the wealthiest, most exclusive neighborhoods in the United States. If they don’t have water, then no one’s going to get water, believe me.
There’s not enough insurance. There were famous actors that didn’t have insurance. Why? Because industry is overregulated, it’s fraught with people who make fraudulent claims, and the insurance industry knows that California is hostile to it, but more importantly that it will never clean up its forest or take preventive, time-tried, ancient protocols to lessen the dangers of fire.
And so put it all together, whether it’s a deliberate policy to not store water, not preserve water. Last year was one of the wettest years that we’ve had. We’ve had three out of the last four years have been very wet. We had a huge snowpack. We had rivers that were running in 19th-century fashion, but out to the sea to save the delta smelt.
So, it was a total systems collapse from the idea of not spending money on irrigation, storage, water, fire prevention, force management, a viable insurance industry, a DEI hierarchy. You put it all together and it’s something like a DEI-Green New Deal hydrogen bomb.
Gavin Newsom was fiddling, as he’s almost Nero Newsom. And this has been something that is just unimaginable, this system’s breakdown.

And to finish, what we’re seeing in California is a state with 40 million people. And yet the people who run it feel that it should return to a 19th-century pastoral condition. They are decivilizing the state, and deindustrializing the state, and defarming the state, but they’re not telling the 40 million people that their lifestyles will have to revert back to the 19th century when you had no protection from fire, you didn’t have enough water in California, you didn’t have enough power, you didn’t pump oil.
So, we are deliberately making these decisions not to develop energy, not to develop a timber industry, not to protect the insurance industry, not to protect houses and property.
And we’re doing it in almost a purely nihilistic fashion. And Karen Bass should resign. She came to the airport, back from Africa. She had nothing to say. She was confronted at the airport: “Why were you in Africa? Why did you cut the fire department?”
They cut the fire department by almost $18 million. They gave fire protective equipment to Ukraine’s first responders, and she had nothing to say. She had nothing to say because she couldn’t say anything.
I don’t want to be too pessimistic or bleak tonight, but this is one of the most alarming symptoms of a society gone mad, and if this continues, and if this were to spread to other states, we would become a Third World country if we’re not in parts already.
what does she have to say for herself?

Here Are All The Ways DEI-Crazed Officials Made The LA Fire More Deadly
As relentless fires burn in Los Angeles, thousands of residents who fled their homes are just learning how poorly public officials prepared for such an event. Emergency response leaders following bad public policy have been too focused on sending firefighting equipment to Ukraine, keeping the homeless safe, protecting fish, and adopting green policies to focus on things like making sure there is enough water to feed fire hydrants and guaranteeing that the strongest, best-trained, most-skilled firefighters are leading operations.
Officials seem to believe that when fire forces you to flee your home, there is just one thing on your mind: the skin color and cultural experience of the firefighters who will bring you to safety. Will they be diverse enough to rescue you? Never mind if they are the best for the job, are they anything but straight white men?
That has been a major priority of the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), which, in 2022, launched its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Bureau (DEI), purportedly “focused on ensuring a safe, diverse and inclusive workplace for all.”
In January 2022, then-Mayor Eric Garcetti checked multiple DEI boxes by appointing Kristin Crowley as fire chief, the first female, LGBT chief in Los Angeles. That year, according to LAFD data, “of the more than 6,500 applicants to LAFD, 70% were people of color and nearly 8% … were female,” which was “double the … percentage of female firefighters within the Department” at the time.
The LAFD Girls Camp is one avenue for recruitment for female firefighters, hosting girls between 14 and 18 to explore career opportunities in the department.

We Must Destroy the Scourge of DEI
The Diversity Hoax was exposed as far back as 1999, but it’s a monster that grows exponentially in America’s institutions.
Sciences
Professor Efimov, a prominent biomedical engineer at Northwestern University, grew up “in a small Siberian town built by GULAG prisoners to produce military grade plutonium and space satellites.” He asserts that “campaigns within the American higher education system to push diversity, equity and inclusion philosophies and policies in STEM are frighteningly similar to ones he once worked under in the communist country.”
As Thomas Sowell pointed out in 2001, “Sometimes it seems as if ‘diversity’ is going to replace ‘the’ as the most often used word in the English language. Yet the place where this word has become a holy grail—academia—shows less tolerance for genuine diversity of viewpoints than any other American institution.”
Diversity in academia is so overwhelming the conservatives have developed a scorecard to assist “students, taxpayers and legislators to determine how embedded diversity, equity and inclusion principles and practices are at a given institution.”

Military
Michael R. Shevock gives an overview of the Coast Guard Academy’s (CGA) DEI initiatives. Shevock asserts that “Stalin and Mao would laughingly recognize this demand for intellectual conformity, and it is evil.” In fact, “[m]andating that faculty candidates provide in advance a declaration of mental obedience absolutely guarantees we’ll be hiring liars.” Ultimately, “…the worst thing about the Coast Guard’s position on DEI is how it does not allow for discussion or examination.”

Harvard Law black enrollment tanks—NYT frets there’ll be fewer Barack Obamas and Ketanji Brown Jacksons…
Maybe we can stop Marxists like Obama and Kenji Brown from destroying America based on their free ride.
After the Supreme Court’s decision to axe unfair, DEI-driven, race-based admissions, some law schools are seeing a sharp decline in black and Hispanic students. The steepest drop is happening at Harvard. The so-called “pinnacle of excellence” sacrificed its reputation to prop up the left’s DEI charity agenda. Now, thanks to the Supreme Court, Harvard will be forced to admit students based on merit, not skin color—which is a win for everyone. After all, no one should want a handout they didn’t earn.
However, not everyone sees it that way. The folks over at The New York Times are tied up in knots over the decline in racist school admissions. Apparently, they’d rather universities pick students by skin color than by excellence—and they’re perfectly fine watching greatness take a nosedive across business, education, medicine, and beyond. And by the sound of their new article, it seems NYT is terrified there will be fewer Barack Obamas and Ketanji Brown Jacksons in the ranks.
We’ve covered the DEI disaster from every angle, and it all adds up to the same failed equation: your business, country, hospital, or university can’t be the best if you’re hiring subpar candidates just to fill a progressive “guilt quota.” We recently published a fascinating article exposing the truth about DEI Black students at Penn State. It’s a real eye-opener.
Isn’t it ironic how the left touts itself as the champion of fighting “disinformation,” yet they’re the ones silencing the truth and punishing anyone brave enough to speak out? This is especially true when it comes to topics like black crime statistics and DEI students who aren’t cutting the mustard. So, if you dare to talk about real, raw issues, especially involving black students, you’re instantly labeled a “racist,” blacklisted, and shut down. That’s exactly what’s happening to University of Pennsylvania Professor Amy Wax, who dared to discuss the fact that no black students made it into the top quarter of Penn Law School’s class of 2023.
Of all of Professor Amy Wax’s myriad sins against the Woke worldview, the one that seems to have gotten the Penn Law School administration most obsessively angry with her was what she told Brown U. economist Glenn Loury during a 2017 podcast discussing the “downside of affirmative action. According to CNN:
“Here is a very inconvenient fact Glenn, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a black student graduate in the top quarter of the class and rarely, rarely in the top half,” Wax told Brown University professor Glenn Loury in a video of the interview that recently gained attention.

“How Is That Even Tolerated?”: Harris Faulkner Unloads on BLM and Leftist Race Rhetoric Following Daniel Penny’s Acquittal – Racism, But By Blacks – Part 1
Fox News host Harris Faulkner (who is black) called out Black Lives Matter (BLM) and left-wing rhetoric that claims America “hates black people” on Monday, after Daniel Penny was found not guilty.
A Manhattan jury acquitted Penny, a 26-year-old former Marine, of criminally negligent homicide in connection with the death of 30-year-old homeless man Jordan Neely. On “The Faulkner Focus,” the host began by noting that BLM leaders were outside the courthouse following the verdict, advocating for “black vigilantes” to avenge Neely’s death.
“We don’t know what the road home would have been like right after this, but I’m sure they get some protection for some period of time during the trial. But you go back to your life and you’re part of that community that potentially is going to jump on the subway in the next few days and how can you – just think about that. There are threats outside to take people out because this hinged on race suddenly, like suddenly this hinged on race. Black Lives Matter group getting together and saying, ‘If you do this you’ — what did the woman say?” Faulkner asked. “She said, ‘America hates black people.’ I mean that was so far afield from what we’re watching here I can’t even imagine how we got there.”
“When you say that you want to burn stuff that affects everybody, and you’re gonna hinge because you think people who have my skin color are so hated in America that you [have to] set New York on fire? That puts everybody in victim mode,” Faulkner continued. “I mean how is that even tolerated? Where is Alvin Bragg? He should come out on the steps of the courthouse right now and say, ‘You will be protected. Justice has been adjudicated in this building so you will not riot tonight. We will come after people who do.’ Like where is his voice?”

Who’s The Racist Now After The Penny Trial?
Look at the last line before the story link. It says that the BLM activist racists are trained Marxists. The worst type of person we could have right now. (Look up Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol-Pot, Obama)
Black Lives Matter leader Hawk Newsome called for “black vigilantes” to descend into major cities Monday to retaliate against 26-year-old former Marine Daniel Penny’s acquittal over the death of Jordan Neely.
A Manhattan jury found Penny not guilty of criminally negligent homicide after he held 30-year-old homeless man Neely in a chokehold to protect surrounding passengers on a New York City subway train in May 2023. Newsome called on “black vigilantes” to avenge Neely’s death and fight against white people who allegedly want to “choke” and “kill” black people for “being loud.”
“Like everybody else has vigilantes, we need some black vigilantes,” Newsome said. “People want to jump up and choke us and kill us for being loud, how about we do the same when they attempt to oppress us? I’m tired. I know you’re looking for us to be like, ‘Oh, go and march. Go and march.’ No, this weekend, I want you to hold a community event, everywhere from the Bronx, to Houston, to Seattle, to Florida. Black people hold community events and talk about what you need.”
Passengers who witnessed the incident said Neely behaved in an erratic and threatening manner by screaming at commuters, throwing his jacket on the ground, and saying that he did not care if he went to jail. Penny then came up from behind Neely and held him in a chokehold for about 15 minutes, where Neely eventually lost consciousness and was pronounced dead.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Penny after a medical examiner ruled Neely’s death a homicide in May 2023. The manslaughter charge, which was dismissed prior to the jury’s verdict, came with a potential 15-year prison sentence, while the negligent homicide charge comes with a maximum four-year sentence.
Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy said during a Monday Fox News segment that the jury was in a “deadlock,” likely due to many jurors buying into Bragg’s alleged “racialized” narrative of the incident.
Protesters supporting Neely gathered outside the courtroom prior to and following the verdict, chanting, “No justice, no peace,” and warning that the public “will hear [them] tonight.”
BLM executives have publicly identified themselves as “trained Marxist[s],” including co-founder Patrisse Cullors, who confirmed in 2020 that she and her fellow organizers are Marxist ideologues
It has been a long game of pretend.
At the center of it is the race hustle – a hustle being the attempt to get something for nothing – in this sense, seeking respect and approbation for people engaged in uncivilized behavior.
It kicked off in 2012 when one Trayvon Martin, 17, got shot while bashing the head of a neighborhood watch coordinator, George Zimmerman, against the pavement in Sanford, Florida. The news media dishonestly portrayed Martin as a skittle-munching child when police reported him as six-feet-tall. Zimmerman, five-foot-eight, was eventually acquitted of all charges on grounds of self-defense. The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement was born.
Next up in 2014 was Michael Brown, 18, in Ferguson, Missouri. After robbing a convenience store, Brown was stopped on the street by Police Officer Darren Wilson. According to Wilson’s account, Brown reached into his patrol car trying to seize his gun. Brown’s DNA was later found on Wilson’s gun, and Brown’s blood was detected on the car’s door, suggesting a struggle. Following the incident, riots, arson, and looting broke out in Ferguson for days after. A local grand jury declined to indict Officer Wilson, and he was eventually exonerated of civil rights violations when investigated by the US Department of Justice. The case amplified the Black Lives Matter (movement.
Other incidents followed in 2014: one Eric Garner, 43, was stopped in Staten Island for selling individual cigarettes on the street. Garner resisted arrest and was put in a choke hold. He repeatedly said, “I can’t breathe,” before dying of an asthma attack. In November, same year, Tamir Rice, 12, was brandishing a toy gun that looked like a real firearm in a Cleveland, Ohio, park, when police trainee Timothy Loehmann responded to a 911 call and shot the boy. A Cuyahoga County grand jury declined to indict Loehmann. The city of Cleveland settled $6-million with the Rice family in a wrongful death suit.
In May, 2020, George Floyd, 46, a released felon, resisted arrest after trying to pass a counterfeit twenty-dollar bill in Minneapolis. Officer Derek Chauvin eventually subdued Floyd with a restraint, knee-on-back, recommended by the city police department’s training guide. Floyd died at the scene with 11 ng/mL of fentanyl, 19 ng/mL of methamphetamine, and cannabinoids detected in his blood at autopsy, plus heart disease and hypertension. Officer Chauvin was convicted on several counts of murder and manslaughter and three other officers at the scene also went to jail on lesser charges. Riots, arson, looting, and murder ensued in Minneapolis and many other American cities. Statues of George Floyd were erected around the country and the city of Minneapolis settled a wrongful death suit for $27-million with the Floyd family.
Penny was saving people being threatened by a drug induced criminal. This was not a White on Black issue. What if the schizophrenic was a white dude or an Asian and Penny choked him out?
No, some people see things through the color of race making it impossible to stamp out racism.
Who’s the culprit here though

Media Buries Study That Finds DEI Harmful, Part Of Cultural Marxism
If the CDC concentration Covid camps weren’t bad enough (see the post below this) To the surprise of only the most clueless, DEI ideology has been found to hurt everyone, including the identity groups it ostensibly helps at the expense of the rest of us. Still less surprising, the media has attempted to suppress this information.
The Blaze reports:
A study published Monday by the Network Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University provided strong justification for why Americans should dismantle the remainder of the DEI regime sooner rather than later, noting that race-obsessed programming is divisive, counterproductive, and helps create authoritarians.
From the study:
“DEI initiatives seen as affirmative action rather than business strategy can provoke backlash, increasing rather than reducing racial resentment. And diversity initiatives aimed at managing bias can fail, sometimes resulting in decreased representation and triggering negativity among employees.”
That is not a bug but the main feature of DEI. Cultural Marxism rests upon the increasingly obvious lie that favored groups are oppressed by bigotry. To prop up their failed ideology, liberals must create resentment.
The broader goal of DEI and Cultural Marxism in general is to provide a framework for left-wing totalitarianism:
“[A]n emerging body of research warns that [DEI] interventions may foster authoritarian mindsets, particularly when anti-oppressive narratives exist within an ideological and vindictive monoculture,” said the study. “The push toward absolute equity can undermine pluralism and engender a (potentially violent) aspiration of ideological purity.”
No monoculture was ever more ideological and vindictive than that of woke liberals.
The paper concluded, “The evidence presented in these studies reveals that while purporting to combat bias, some anti-oppressive DEI narratives can engender a hostile attribution bias and heighten racial suspicion, prejudicial attitudes, authoritarian policing, and support for punitive behaviors in the absence of evidence for a transgression deserving punishment.”
Speaking of the monoculture of woke liberals, the media establishment reacted to the study by refusing to acknowledge it:

Oh Dear God, Not Ferrari Also: Ferrari’s Commitment to ‘Diversity and Inclusivity’ Called Out For Supreme Hypocrisy
People responded to Ferrari bragging about its commitment to ‘diversity and inclusivity’ by pointing out that the luxury car manufacturer forces customers to pass a ‘social status’ background check just to be able to buy a Ferrari.
Awkward.
In the wake of the Jaguar farce, when the heritage brand launched a new commercial featuring androgynous models, thereby alienating their core customer base, Ferrari appears to have said, “Hold my beer!”
It started with a post on X in which Ferrari boasted of its, “Commitment to equality, equity, and inclusion by endorsing the new Diversity and Inclusion Charter alongside @F1 and the @fia.”
However, that “inclusivity” doesn’t appear to extend to its own potential customers.
As Nick Sortor points out, Ferrari conducts exhaustive background checks on anyone who wants to buy one of their higher end vehicles to “ensure they fit the mold of the brand and its desired image.”
“Family background, social status and additional affiliations,” are also scrutinized before Ferrari will even consider taking your cash.
That doesn’t sound very inclusive!
“Nothing says “inclusivity” like requiring background checks and “social status checks” for ENTIRE FAMILIES before they’re allowed to purchase your cars,” commented Sortor.
Those cars breathe testosterone and Alpha male. This shit started as soon as they hired Lewis Hamilton as an F1 driver and he brought that diversity shit which brings down everything it touches.
I’ve always loved Ferrari, but will have a hard time liking a company with these principles. Grow a set and be the company Enzo created.
Look what it did to Bud Light and now Jaguar

America’s Largest And Most Expensive DEI Program Is About To Go Up In Flames
Look at the money being waisted on salaries for worse race relations. This has got to go.
The University of Michigan’s (UM) multi-million dollar diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) program may soon be dismantled.
The university’s board of regents has reportedly asked UM president Santa Ono “to defund or restructure” the DEI office amid growing criticism and public pressure, according to emails shared on X. The board is expected to vote on the matter on Dec. 5.
Despite UM investing $250 million into DEI since 2016, students and faculty have reported a deteriorating campus climate since the program began and are less likely to interact with people of a different race, religion or political ideology, though these are “the exact kind of engagement[s] D.E.I. programs, in theory, are meant to foster,” the article stated. Attempts to create a more diverse campus also fell flat, with black enrollment at the university remaining a steady 5%.
The program also created a “culture of grievance,” with the office’s conception coinciding with an “explosion” of complaints on campus involving race, gender and religion, the NYT reported. Meanwhile, nearly 250 university employees were engaged in some form of DEI efforts on campus.
DEI staff cost the university approximately $30.68 million annually, with the average salary reaching $96,400, according to Mark Perry, an American Enterprise Institute scholar. Several DEI employees are paid more than $200,000 a year, while the department’s head makes upwards of $400,000.
If there ever was a waste of time and money, DEI is it. We all know get woke and go broke, but this is taking it to the extreme failure

Walmart Has To Ditch DEI
Here is the X(witter) link.

here’s what it says:
MASSIVE news: Walmart is ending their woke policies. I can now exclusively tell you what’s changing and how it happened. Last week I told execs at
@Walmart that I was doing a story on wokeness there. Instead we had productive conversations to find solutions. Below are the changes Walmart committed to. I have to give their executives major credit because this will send shockwaves throughout corporate America. This is the biggest win yet for our movement to end wokeness in corporate America. Here are the changes Walmart committed to: • Surveys: Walmart will no longer participate in the HRC’s woke Corporate Equality Index. • Products: Monitor the Walmart marketplace to identify and remove inappropriate sexual and / or transgender products marketed to children. • Funding of Grants: Review all funding of Pride, and other events, to avoid funding inappropriate sexualized content targeting kids. • Equity: We will not extend the Racial Equity Center which was established in 2020 as a special five-year initiative. • Supplier Diversity: We will evaluate supplier diversity programs and ensure they do not provide preferential treatment and benefits to suppliers based on diversity. We don’t have quotas and won’t going forward. Financing eligibility will no longer be predicated on providing certain demographic data. • LatinX: Walmart will no longer use the term in official communications. • Trainings: Walmart will discontinue racial equity training through the Racial Equity Institute. • DEI: Walmart will discontinue the use of DEI as a term while ensuring a respectful and supportive environment. Our focus is on Belonging for ALL associates and customers. Remember, Walmart is the #1 employer in America with over 1.6 Million Employees and they have a market cap of nearly $800B. This won’t just have a massive effect for their employees who will have a neutral workplace without feeling that divisive issues are being injected but it will also extend to their many suppliers. We’ve now changed policy at companies worth over $2 Trillion dollars, with many millions of employees who have better workplace environments as a result. I’m happy to have secured these changes before Christmas when shoppers have very few large retail brands they can spend money with who aren’t pushing woke policies. Companies like Amazon and Target should be very nervous that their top competitor dropped woke policies first. I think Target specifically will suffer serious sales problems as a result and Walmart will benefit.
there is more at the link above, but Walmart has been a bad actor in a lot of places, like China and this.

Mad at the Election? Blame Obama
Liberals who are in the throes of capitulation and despair after Donald Trump’s crushing electoral and popular vote win can lay blame for their disastrous loss at the feet of one man: Barack Hussein Obama.
Obama built the Trump wave. His failure to live up to the promises of his populist 2008 run has cursed the Democratic Party, probably for a generation. The Washington DC establishment in just two short months is going to get “scholonged” by an angry and vengeful Trump, ready to rain executive hellfire on the bureaucrats and institutions that have spent the last nine years fighting him tooth and nail.
All of this could have been prevented. In 2008, Obama swept into power with a crushing electoral college and popular vote majority. He won Iowa, Florida, Ohio, and North Carolina. He even won Indiana. Democrats swept into power in Congress with a 74-seat lead in the House, nearly 59% of seats, and were gifted with a magical 60-seat filibuster-proof supermajority in the Senate.
This was a generational victory, a sign that voters were fed up with politics as usual and the failures of the GOP and the Washington and Wall Street establishment as such. This victory wasn’t just about electing the first Black president, though that was important: The policies and platform at stake appealed deeply to voters.
It is worth remembering what exactly those policies were.
Obama promised to end the war in Iraq, end the Afghanistan war with honor, help the economy by reducing health care costs (prioritizing “Main Street” over Wall Street), and bring about a new era of racial harmony. Moreover, Obama explicitly eschewed radical leftist politics. He explicitly defended traditional marriage. In his DNC nomination speech, he condemned employers who “undercut American wages by hiring illegal workers.”
Obama ran a campaign on bringing “change” to DC. He made much of his status as a newcomer who lacked the “typical pedigree” of a candidate for the nation’s highest office.
Put another way, Obama won a decisive victory in 2008 by campaigning as a Washington outsider bent on ending foreign wars, boosting the economy by helping ordinary people, and being a moderate on social issues like abortion and gay marriage. Does this message sound familiar? It should.

Aristotle On Liberals Leaving X After The Election
In the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory, many liberals have announced they are leaving X. Tired of all the “disinformation” they encounter on the platform, they are convinced the time has come to delete their accounts.
It was all OK before Musk bought the biased and censored version of Twitter that discriminated against and banned conservative speech. Once it became a platform for free speech, it was not usable for liberals. They’re really Marxists now but identify as liberals.
NBC News reported that the day after the election, “115,414 accounts were deactivated,” the biggest one-day exodus since Elon Musk bought the platform.
Let’s see what Aristotle said about it:
Aristotle: ‘It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.’
In other words, you can listen, but don’t have to believe the other side. You could also be a critical thinker and know they were wrong, but not let it change your POV or be so butt-hurt that you had to act like a child and leave X for attention.
“Meanwhile, daily traffic to competitors Bluesky and Threads have jumped since the beginning of October.” NBC reporters spoke to six people who have left X for these platforms since Election Day. These individuals cited “growing issues on X, including bots, partisan ads, and harassment” as their reasons for leaving. Harassment likely means they were hit with a community note or someone on the platform disagreed with them.
Importantly, all six said the aforementioned issues “reached a tipping point when Trump won the election.”
In a separate article, NBC recounts the experience of former X user Kara Wurtz, a 39-year-old finance director in St. Louis. For Wurtz, “the day after the election was the ‘final straw.’” She claimed that, “under Musk’s leadership,” … X “became a place where I wasn’t really getting what I wanted out of it anymore.”
What she “wanted out of it” was validation of her own world view. Following Musk’s takeover, she was forced to hear opinions that differed from her own for the first time. That didn’t happen before Musk took over the platform.
“Every time I opened it up,” she said, “it would throw things at me that put me in a bad mood.”
Yes, the truth is like that.
Anyway, as the flight continues, some users are still on the fence. But there is one trait they all seem to share: their egos are the size of the Grand Canyon.
Joy Ried leaves X – because she can’t handle the negativity. Let’s not forget that she was 100% negative on Conservatives, Trump and Whites before leaving
Not to mention this woman is a racist
Don Lemon leaves X – also a racist who posted hate speech.
They act like children who don’t get their way and take their ball and go home. In case they didn’t notice, they have no audience and cellar-dwelling ratings due to lying and disparagement.
I’d advise them to grow up and act like adults, sort of like half the country did for the last 4 years.

Fired FEMA Official: Not Helping Trump Voters Was FEMA Policy in North Carolina Too
Who is biased now? Who discriminated against because of politics? Who weaponized government agencies. Well, here comes the truth.
North Carolina was hit as hard as any state. Whole towns were wiped out. I saw the damage personally as I was in one of them. Thank God for Samritan’s Purse because that is who helped people, not FEMA.
Now this.
Avoiding helping Trump supporters was a nationwide policy, according to the woman who was fired for putting it in writing.
The purpose of doing so, we are told, is that Trump supporters are dangerous to FEMA workers, and therefore should be avoided.
I don’t know to what extent the accusation that Trump supporters are any more likely to be hostile to FEMA workers, but if so, I am pretty sure that cause and effect are reversed. Obviously, Trump supporters who suspect that FEMA was doing its best not to help them were right, and since that is the case, they have every reason to be less than friendly to FEMA workers.
However, I seriously doubt there is much to the accusation in the first place. After all, there are countless videos of people in hurricane-ravaged areas begging for help. No doubt there is some Trump supporter somewhere who was nasty to a FEMA worker after being left to suffer for days, but the claim that this was a trend is…doubtful.
FEMA is, after all, part of the Department of Homeland Security, and under DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas nothing good has happened, and lots that is evil has. This is the man who controlled the porous border, is the boss of the Secret Service, and who has presided over disasters aplenty.
I doubt there will be justice and the people who suffered are still recovering. It’s not because of FEMA, it’s because of their neighbors and church organizations. We can’t clean house fast enough of these haters.

Fired anti-Trump FEMA supervisor finally speaks out, and she’s NUKING the entire organization…
An angry black woman is not going silently. She’s going to rat out the whole FEMA for being Anti-Trump. This should be interesting.
FEMA is now facing a massive scandal—one so explosive it threatens to shake the foundation of this clearly weaponized organization. The scandal involves an anti-Trump supervisor who ordered her team to avoid helping hurricane-ravaged homeowners with “pro-Trump” signs. Well, there’s been a turn of events, and this story has officially gone nuclear.
The black female supervisor was ultimately fired, and FEMA issued one of their typical ‘outraged’ statements, claiming shock that something so racist and inhumane could happen on their watch. But the bigwigs at FEMA might regret those words soon enough, because this supervisor is singing like a canary.
As it turns out, this supervisor isn’t planning to take the fall alone. She’s claiming that the anti-Trump, politicized atmosphere runs through the entire organization and comes straight from the top. Essentially, she’s using the old “I was just following orders” excuse, but in doing so, she’s blowing this scandal wide open in ways that could be unimaginable—and could spell the downfall of this weaponized federal organization.
After everything we’ve been through these past four years, does this story really surprise anyone? Is there a single organization left in the US that hasn’t been weaponized and bastardized by the left?

Did The Left Learn Anything From The Election, Or Is Everything Racist Still?
Fortunately for the rest of us, we’ve gotten past race. We’ll see about the left
- The Left (which includes the legacy media) paid no attention to the desperation of the people when they cried out about the economy and inflation. Kamala Harris made some pathetic promises in her campaign to help the people, but at that point, I think that no one believed her.
- The distress of citizens about having illegal migrants dumped in their cities all over the nation were discounted. Whole communities of these migrants were collected and relocated to cities that were ill-equipped to house, school, and employ them.
- The country might be moving past its obsession with race and ethnicity, but the Left hasn’t realized it. These beliefs were superficially identified by the Left, but I don’t think most people believed them. Our own lived experience told us that we were genuinely moving into a post-racist era. People want to live in peaceful communities, love their neighbor, work in a job they enjoy, and feed their families.
- Appealing to specific groups, such as blacks and Latinos, fell flat. The greater desire to live happily as Americans took precedence over group favoritism. Some people in these groups may have even realized that the condescending promises made to them were unlikely to come true.
- People could see Trump’s playful side demonstrated at his rallies and couldn’t reconcile his demeanor there with the image of a dictator; after all, dictators don’t have much of a sense of humor. The garbage truck and Trump’s orange vest probably sealed the deal.
- Lawfare was probably disregarded as one step (or steps) too many. How convenient that all these cases emerged just before the election. The Left not only ignored the people, but held them in disdain. They still think we’re stupid.
- At least two states with radical abortion legislation were voted down. Having laws with no limits on abortion is simply not acceptable to most people: the people said “no.”
Given the sound rejection of the Left’s agendas across the country, has the Left learned anything? The answer is a resounding “No!”
Even if the Left realized that they had made a huge mistake in not listening to the people, that fact will be irrelevant to them. The radical Left or progressives have always seen themselves as the experts in governance, and the people simply do not know what is good for them. So, the Left will try to be patient and persist in reaching their goals. Acknowledging this reality on our part — that the progressives will never give up — allows us to arm ourselves with powerful and effective strategies to stop them. I’m also assuming (and I would love to be wrong) that the legacy media will follow the Left’s agenda.

Problem-riddled Boeing axes entire diversity division
More Woke and DEI failure. How many planes are suspect though because of this going on for the last few years. It’s not like you can pull over on the side of the road. It’s why I don’t want to get on another Boeing plane.
Top airline manufacturer Boeing dissolved its global diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) division amid significant financial losses, union strikes and scrutiny over safety and production issues, Bloomberg reported Thursday.
The reorganization, which reassigned its DEI staff to Boeing’s employee experience division, reflects CEO Kelly Ortberg’s focus on consolidating operations as the company grapples with a number of problems, according to Bloomberg.
Sara Liang Bowen, who previously helmed Boeing’s DEI department, announced her departure on Thursday, Bloomberg reported. In a LinkedIn post, Bowen expressed pride in her team’s work, acknowledging both its challenges and accomplishments.
Things Just Got Worse For Boeing https://t.co/pItBO7SKEk
— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) August 9, 2024
“The team achieved so much — sometimes imperfectly, never easily — and dreamed of doing much more still,” Bowen wrote in a farewell post on LinkedIn.
Critics argue such policies encourage discrimination by favoring certain demographics, and this scrutiny is part of a larger trend, with activists targeting corporations and calling for a shift away from DEI priorities, the outlet stated.

Democrats Lie About Supporting Women’s Rights, Let Men Kick The Shit Out Of Them In Sports
A new report from the United Nations reveals that almost 900 medals that should have gone to female athletes have instead been awarded to biological men who believe themselves to be “transgender.”
UN Report: Women Have Lost 900 Medals To ‘Transgender’ Athletes
The findings were titled “Violence against women and girls in sports.”
Alsalem reveals that over 600 athletes failed to receive medals in over 400 competitions across 29 different sports, with the total amount of lost medals being just over 890.
“The replacement of the female sports category with a mixed-sex category has resulted in an increasing number of female athletes losing opportunities, including medals, when competing against males,” his report states.
The information collected for the study goes up to March 30th of this year.
So Trump’s stance is to protect women and the liberals only say they want to kill babies (more are female than male) and Trump is Hitler, you decide

Kamala Is Being A Racist, Trying To Buy Black (only) Votes
Discrimination based on skin color is racism. The color doesn’t matter.
Uh oh! 21 day panic! Time to promise voters everything in the world!
VP Kamala Harris unveiled the “Opportunity Agenda,” which proposes one million forgivable loans up to $20,000 for black entrepreneurs.
The agenda includes the following (emphasis mine):
(1) Providing 1 million loans that are fully forgivable to Black entrepreneurs and others to start a business.
(2) Championing education, training, and mentorship programs that help Black men get good-paying jobs in high-demand industries and lead their communities, including pathways to become teachers.
(3) Supporting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency and other digital assets so Black men who invest in and own these assets are protected.
(4) Launching a National Health Equity Initiative focused on Black Men that addresses sickle cell disease, diabetes, mental health, prostate cancer, and other health challenges that disproportionately impact them.
(5) Legalizing recreational marijuana and creating opportunities for Black Americans to succeed in this new industry.
What about Asians? What about white people? Why only one color? Racism
She must be desperate with Blacks if she has to stoop to the same old buying votes. They promise it every 4 years, then don’t do squat for the Blacks. Maybe that is why they are supporting Trump. They are tired of being lied to by a Santa Claus promising candidate.

Now We Know Why Harris And Obama Hate Columbus
A new DNA study on the 500-year-old remains of Christopher Columbus has found that the controversial explorer was actually a Sephardic Jew from Western Europe.
Spanish researchers announced their findings in a new documentary, titled Columbus DNA: The True Origin, which aired on Spain’s national broadcaster TVE. Since 2003, scientists have tested samples of remains buried at Seville Cathedral in Spain, believed to be the final resting place of the 15th-century explorer.
In the documentary, Jose Antonio Lorente, a professor of forensic medicine, who led the research at the University of Granada, said his analysis revealed that Columbus’s DNA was “compatible” with his being of Jewish origin.
Throughout the 21-year investigation, DNA experts compared samples of the remains with those of Columbus’s known relatives and descendants. “We have DNA from Christopher Columbus, very partial, but sufficient. We have DNA from Fernando Colon, his son,” Professor Lorente said, per CNN. “And both in the Y chromosome (male) and in the mitochondrial DNA (transmitted by the mother) of Fernando, there are traits compatible with Jewish origin.”
Obama hated any Colonization because of his Kenyan roots. Hell, he wouldn’t even keep the bust of Winston Churchill, removing it on day one. But then he hates America and Jews, and did everything he could to ruin it from within. He’s always been a racist.
Harris said:
It is an honor, of course, to be with you this week as we celebrate Indigenous People’s Day as we speak truth about our nation’s history. Since 1934, every October, the United States has recognized the voyage of the European explorers who first landed on the shores of the Americas. But that is not the whole story.
That has never been the whole story. Those explorers ushered in a wave of devastation for tribal nations. Perpetrating violence, stealing land and spreading disease. We must not shy away from this shameful past, and we must shed light on it and do everything we can to address the impact of the past on native communities today.

Someone Less Likeable Than Kamala Not Campaigning For Her?
Because she’d do more damage than good. There is only a small cross section of people that like Michelle. Her history of grifting and America hating turns off a lot of people. The liberals and radicals already are in Kamala’s pocket so she doesn’t bring anything to the table there.
Many are wondering why exactly it is that former First Lady Michelle Obama is not campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris.
This comes, according to the Daily Mail, as Obama’s husband – former President Barack Obama – has hit the campaign trail for Harris, looking to stir up support for her in the final weeks leading up to the 2024 presidential election.
In contrast, the former first lady has been far less active than her husband.
As we will see, though, this does not mean that she is inactive.
Here’s what is going on:
It was Politico that first reported recently that Barack Obama has decided to do some significant campaigning for Harris.
The outlet wrote:
The former president will appear Thursday at an event in the Pittsburgh area, the start of what will be part of a swing-state “blitz” through Election Day, said a senior campaign official, granted anonymity to discuss the schedule ahead of the announcement.
This so-called “blitz” is already underway, with Obama hitting the campaign trail on Thursday. In the process, he managed to stir up some serious controversy.
Obama is scheduled to continue holding rallies in battleground states through Election Day.
A spokesman for Obama said:
President Obama believes the stakes of this election could not be more consequential and that is why he is doing everything he can to help elect Vice President Harris, Governor Walz and Democrats across the country.

Black Men Not Being Sheep Anymore When Obama Tries Forcing Them Think Alike
Prominent black Trump booster Rob Smith has responded to the former president’s condescending screed over ‘brothas’ who are afraid to vote for Kamala Harris. In a now-viral reply, Smith tells Obama: “There is no amount of lecturing or bullying or shaming that you can do that is going to make me change that decision [to vote for Trump].
Having exhorted black men to embrace racism in the voting booth, Obama then suggested the same group’s sexism was at the heart of Harris’ problem with them:
“You’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses, I’ve got a problem with that. Because part of it makes me think— and I’m speaking to men directly— part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”
“…And now, you’re thinking about sitting out or supporting somebody who has a history of denigrating you, because you think that’s a sign of strength, because that’s what being a man is? Putting women down? That’s not acceptable.“
Obama’s remarks seem to reflect a growing sense of desperation — and they seem likely to backfire. It’s bad enough for him to publicly spotlight Harris’ weakness compared to his own performance, but it’s even worse that he felt the best way to remedy the situation was to publicly shame black men — to the point of saying, “you’re lucky Michelle’s not here” — and to accuse black men of sexism.
Well, it looks like it’s not just men, check this girl out.

The Next Bud Light Of Sneakers?
Nike (NKE.N) shares fell about 8% in early trading on Wednesday after the sportswear giant withdrew its annual revenue target, leaving investors guessing on the timeline for a turnaround under incoming CEO Elliott Hill.
The company on Tuesday also called off its investor day set for Nov. 19, while CFO Matthew Friend said pulling the outlook would give Hill “much-needed flexibility to evaluate Nike’s strategies and business trends”.
“Just how quickly a turnaround can happen is up in the air … There’s not anything really that I could say at this point gives us a definite timeline or early hints to what is in store for the future,” said Jessica Ramirez, senior analyst at Jane Hali & Associates.
Last month, Nike named veteran executive Hill as CEO in place of John Donahoe as demand dropped and rivals such as On Holding and Hoka gained market share, especially in high performance and innovative running shoes categories.
The company’s forward price-to-earnings ratio for the next 12 months, a benchmark for valuing stocks, was 27.98, compared with 27.08 for Deckers (DECK.N) and 35.14 for Adidas (ADSGn.DE).
Hill is set to take over on Oct. 14 and investors were pinning their hopes on the analyst day for clarity on Nike’s strategy until it canceled the Nov. 19 event. Nike did not provide a fresh date.
“These next few months as we go into year end, (Nike is) going to leave investors with a lot more questions than answers and we didn’t get any answers,” said Jay Woods, chief global strategist at investment banking firm Freedom Capital Markets.
Nike said on Tuesday it had to offer higher promotions to help drive sales in the quarter and signaled a weaker holiday quarter even as it expects a “slight second half improvement” in revenue from the launch of new premium models.
Most things in Portland are not like the rest of the country or world, and that is where they are headquartered. They are famous for being in bed with China as well as the most woke of athletes and causes.

Yeah, Great, But How Do You Know Which Plane Is The One That’s Unsafe?
The National Transportation Safety Board issued “urgent safety recommendations” for some Boeing 737 planes including the 737 MAX.
The agency said that some flight controls can become jammed.
An actuator that is attached to rudders on some 737 NG (Next Generation) and 737 Max planes could not work, CNN reported. Pilots on board a United Airlines flight in February said their rudder pedals were stuck in a neutral position.
No one was hurt and the pilot controlled the aircraft using the nosewheel steering system, USA Today reported.
The actuator was manufactured by Collins Aerospace, according to the NTSB.
The issue crops up in cold weather.
“When the incident actuator and an identical unit from another airplane were tested in a cold environment, the actuators’ function was significantly compromised. Investigators found evidence of moisture in both actuators, which failed testing. Collins Aerospace subsequently determined that a sealed bearing was incorrectly assembled during production of the actuators, leaving the unsealed side more susceptible to moisture that can freeze and limit rudder system movement,” the NTSB said, according to USA Today.
There were more than 350 defective parts sent to Boeing but how many were used is not clear, The New York Times reported.
Collins Aerospace responded with a statement to the newspaper which read, “We have and continue to work closely with the N.T.S.B. and Boeing on this investigation. We are supporting Boeing and operators to mitigate operational impacts.”
The company said the actuator is part of a system that “includes layers of redundancy.”
The NTSB said Boeing had a procedure in place if the rudder jammed.

How To Ruin The Air Force – Documents reveal Air Force ‘goal’ to reduce ‘white male population’ joining officer ranks – More DEI
As always, Democrats hate the military and law enforcement.
The Air Force finally handed over a trove of documents pertaining to its sweeping “goal” of reducing the number of white male applicants in a popular officer program after spending months stonewalling requests for their release.
Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman C.Q. Brown — at the time the highest-ranking member of the Air Force — issued a memorandum in 2022 that the branch was updating its racial and gender demographic goals for applicants seeking to become officers, in a bid to prioritize “diversity and inclusion.” Internal documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation include a slideshow from 2022 where the Air Force outlines racial and gender quotas and details how it hopes to “achieve” a reduced number of white males in its Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) officer’s applicant program.
The documents reflect the Biden-Harris Pentagon’s intense focus on implementing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies in the armed forces, even as the military continues to combat dwindling morale among its rank-and-file, recruiting and retention shortfalls and low pay.

However, the company’s website still currently has a tab that is titled “Our Inclusive Culture,” which goes on to state: “We’re building a company culture where inclusiveness is a reflex, not an initiative.

FAFO – Penzey’s Spice Company Called All Republicans Racist, Then Lost 40,000 Customers in Two Weeks
Republicans ‘raced out to buy a crapload of guns because maybe they were finally going to get their chance to shoot a Black person,’ Penzey’s Spices CEO wrote in a customer email.
Just two weeks after a Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based spice company held a “Republicans are Racist” sale over Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, it is dealing with a massive loss of business and openly begging for new customers.
Penzey’s Spices CEO Bill Penzey, who routinely uses his company’s email list to send anti-Republican screeds, sent a newsletter earlier this month in which he accused GOP voters of fantasizing about killing African Americans.
“Remember how Republicans, going against a mountain of evidence to the contrary, once again lied and said BLM [Black Lives Matter] wasn’t a peaceful movement but instead terrorists inciting violence throughout the country and then raced out to buy a crapload of guns because maybe they were finally going to get their chance to shoot a Black person?” he wrote. “What a bunch of racists.”
In a follow-up email Friday, Penzey acknowledged this allegation had cost his business a substantial number of newsletter subscribers.

The Media Duplicity Towards The Candidates (With Memes)
Contrast: Dana Bash’s Combative Interview With J.D. Vance Versus Softball Exchanges With Kamala
As expected, the “interview” Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, did with CNN‘s Dana Bash on Thursday came off more like a conversation between a spokesperson and their boss, where they are both trying to make sure they are on the same page regarding what to say, how to react, etc.
Indeed, right out of the gate we were treated to a question where multiple choice answers were given by Bash to Harris in a clip on the vice president’s flip flops that dropped several hours before the full pre-taped 18-minute interview aired.
Compare that to this:
BASH: Generally speaking, how should voters look at some of the changes that you’ve made — that you explained some of here — in your policy?

The fall of DEI accelerates
Fight! Fight! Fight! In the past two months it has become very clear that if Americans are willing to stand up to the left and its Marxist bigoted agenda, Americans will win.
Since late June, five different university systems have shut down their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion offices. Each is listed below, in chronological order:
- U. Wyoming’s vice president of DEI announces departure as university shutters DEI office
- University of Alabama system campuses shut down DEI offices to comply with new law
- University of North Carolina-Wilmington shuts down DEI office
- University of Nebraska-Lincoln to close Office of Diversity and Inclusion as part of reorganization
- University of Kentucky closes DEI office
And this list does not include the University of Florida, which in March shut down its own DEI office because the state legislature not only banned such offices, it cut the budgets of them.
Though it is true these states are all solidly conservative with legislatures largely controlled by Republicans, this fact on its face proves that voting can make a difference, with Florida the biggest proof. Unlike the other states, Florida had for decades been a swing state between the Democrats and Republicans. Voters however changed that in the past decade, so that today the state legisilature is solidly Republican. The result has been a definitive policy shift acting to eliminate these racist Marxist programs from state-financed universities.
There is no reason similar changes cannot be forced in other battleground states. Nor should we consider it impossible in the coastal states (California, Oregon, Washington, New York, Massachusetts, etc) where Democrats maintain full control. DEI concepts are inherently racist and divisive, and serve only to encourage anger, resentment, and hate across all ethnic groups. Ordinary voters recognize this routinely, when they make the effort to look.
Nor are things changing solely in the unversities because of the willingness of voters to force change. The boycott of Bud Light because of its endorsement of the queer agenda last year is having profound impact on corporate culture. In just the last few months a number of major companies have announced the elimination of their own DEI departments and programs, also listed below in chronological order:
- Tractor Supply slashes its DEI and climate goals after a right-wing pressure campaign
- John Deere backs away from diversity and inclusion efforts after a conservative backlash
- Harley-Davidson is dropping diversity initiatives after right-wing anti-DEI campaign
- Jack Daniel’s parent Brown-Forman ends DEI policy
Not much has been this blatant, discriminatory, and biased, nor caused as much corporate loss of money and customer goodwill.
It proves that unity, not diversity is our real strength.

IBM Sued Again For Being Racist Against White Men
America First Legal
Aug 21• 10 tweets • 3 min read •
/1🚨BREAKING🚨
We just sued IBM for allegedly firing a high-performing white, male employee to fulfill illegal race & sex-based employment quotas.
This is the third legal action against IBM for race discrimination — the second from AFL, plus one from @AGAndrewBailey.
THREAD:
/2 Our client began working for IBM in October 2016 as a Senior Managing Consultant supporting existing clients on long-term projects. He was a model employee and consistently received high scores on IBM’s primary employee performance metric, the “Net Promotor Score,” which is calculated directly from client feedback and overall satisfaction.
/3 While at IBM, our client received strong performance reviews and was publicly recognized on multiple occasions in his division’s monthly all-hands meetings for his outstanding performance, with management quoting his feedback from clients and applauding his work.
By all accounts, our client was a high-performing employee at IBM.
/4 In July 2023, without notice or warning, IBM placed our client on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP), citing reasons completely outside of his job description, work history, and control. Even worse, the PIP was generalized, vague, and lacked any concrete measures or metrics for success.
/5 Despite this, our client made a good-faith effort to follow the terms of the PIP and keep his job at IBM. He requested resources from IBM to help him secure a prospective client, which went largely unanswered.
In October 2023, IBM terminated his employment.
/6 At the time that our client was fired, IBM’s corporate policies incentivized executives to make decisions about employees based on their race and sex. These incentives, which included executive bonuses, were directly tied to IBM’s race and sex quotas for employees, which are illegal under federal law.
/7 Per IBM’s 2023 ESG Report, they report:
/8 By instituting bonus incentives for hiring and promoting quotas tied to race and sex, IBM established discriminatory employment policies and motivated supervisors to reduce the number of employees outside of “preferred” racial and sex-based categories.
/9 These discriminatory policies were discussed by IBM’s Chief Executive Officer Arvind Krishna as far back as 2021, in undercover videos released on 𝕏 by @JamesOKeefeIII
@JamesOKeefeIII /10 This lawsuit is our second lawsuit against IBM for discriminatory and unlawful employment practices.
We sued IBM’s subsidiary, Red Hat, for violating Civil Rights laws by allegedly engaging in discriminatory employment and termination practices against white males.
Diversity when I worked there meant anybody other than straight white Christian men. The more checks you got for not being one of that combo, the more you could get away with things that would get others in trouble.

In Good News: Microsoft And John Deere Lay off its DEI team
Any time we can get rid of anything woke or as discriminatory as DEI (and as racist), the world is better off. We can stop dividing people against each other and get along with each other a lot better. It might improve the quality of their product if they hire on meritocracy.
This helps flush out the last vestiges of the Alinsky-motivated Obama policies that caused racial divisiveness. Unity is our strength, not diversity.
Microsoft sparked internal revolt after it fired its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) team, leading the program’s leader to slam the company’s ‘changing business needs.’
The tech giant’s move was exposed in an email obtained by Business Insider, which appears to show the DEI internal team leader criticizing the fact diversity was ‘no longer business critical.’
Microsoft joins a number of tech companies in walking back DEI commitments that were made in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, including Google, Meta and Zoom.
As Farmers Revolt, John Deere Ditches DEI Policies
Facing conservative backlash and a farmer-led boycott, John Deere ditched its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, the Daily Mail reported.
The $61 billion-a-year company announced it would abandon DEI hallmarks such as: “socially motivated messaging,” “diversity quotas,” and “pronoun identification” while also distancing itself from “cultural awareness parades.”
This decision follows criticism for sponsoring a Pride event for children as young as 3 amid ongoing plant closures and layoffs in the U.S., the Daily Mail reported.
“Our customers’ trust and confidence in us are of the utmost importance to everyone at John Deere,” the company stated on X. “We fully intend to earn it every day and in every way we can.”
Critics particularly targeted John Deere’s support of the Little Rainbow Run at Des Moines’ Capital City Pride event, involving toddlers in LGBTQ+ festivities. The company’s adoption of new-wave gender ideology, including staff training on the “genderbread person,” further fueled the controversy.
This reversal mirrors similar boycotts against Tractor Supply and Bud Light, which faced conservative backlash for a partnership with a trans influencer, resulting in significant sales losses. Supporters of DEI argue these efforts promote the inclusion of women and minority talent, while critics view them as counterproductive and unfair to straight, white men.
I was a little bothered by the John Deere one. Their customer is a rural and typically not a political customer. They had to have a plant inside to try something this stupid

#BWBB Black Women Behaving Badly, Friday Edition
Racism is racism, you just have to discriminate against color. The problem is that Caitlin Clark is white in a black sport. They are hacking Caitlin Clark on the floor and then trashing her in social media while leaving her off of the Olympic Team.
What these bitches don’t realize is that Clark could have them flying on private jets soon. She is their ticket big fortune if they’d let her. She’s brought fame and notoriety to a league that no one cared about before her. Instead, they are catty back stabbers who can’t take that she is getting the fame and not them, and white.
They should ride her coat tails to every perk they can get instead of trying to take her down, dumbasses.
Here we go….
Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark continues to cement her marquee status despite being the target of race-hustling trash talk and flagrant fouls.
On Sunday, the rookie sensation helped the WNBA score its biggest TV audience in 23 years, as a whopping 2.25 million viewers tuned in to watch the Fever defeat the Chicago Sky, CBS Sports announced.
That’s a 225 percent increase in viewership from the same time last year.
“The Caitlin Clark-led Fever have now played in each of the five most-watched WNBA games since 2002, with two of those five matchups coming against Chicago,” Sports Media Watch reported.
The WNBA announced that in May, it had its highest-attended opening in 26 years and its most-watched season opener ever across all networks that aired its games.
The league also boasted that it had set records for merchandise sales, social media engagement, app downloads and league pass subscriptions — with triple-digit spikes across all categories.
More than half of all WNBA games last month were sellouts — an astonishing 156 percent increase from last year, the league said.

DEI Ruins A Top High School
The Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (also known as “TJ”) is one of the highest-ranking high schools in the country.
Unfortunately, several years ago, the Fairfax County, Virginia, school board ditched traditional standardized tests and admission selections based on the best students available and moved to an “equity” formula designed to boost admissions for middle school students identifying as racial minorities.
This caused the percentage of Asian students to drop precipitously, leading to federal court litigation asserting a violation of the United States Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause.
From our first post on the case back in March 2021: Lawsuit Alleges Anti-Asian Discrimination In Admissions Change At Top-Ranked Virginia High School:
[Equity-based admissions] practices at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (“TJ”) has now resulted in a lawsuit filed by the Pacific Legal Foundation. AP reports:
Located in the suburbs of the nation’s capital, the school is frequently ranked as the best in the country, and families plan for years to try to help their children gain admission.
The student body is 70% Asian American, with minuscule numbers of Black and Hispanic students.
The Fairfax County school board voted last year to revise the admissions process and eliminate a standardized test that had been a key part of the evaluation process. It also set aside a specific number of slots for students at each of the middle schools in the county.
Board members have said they hope the new process increases Black and Hispanic representation in the student body.
The lawsuit, though, alleges that the set-asides will end up hurting Asian American families that are clustered in a handful of middle schools that currently send large numbers of students to “TJ,” as the school is known.
Erin Wilcox, a lawyer with the Pacific Legal Foundation, said at a press conference Wednesday that the policies themselves are discriminatory, but the intent is made even more clear by statements from board members who said they want the changes to result in a student body with a racial makeup that matches the county’s demographics.
“The discriminatory intent they’ve shown is intertwined and an inseparable part of the policies they put in place,” Wilcox said.

Google Is F***ing Woke’: Former Employees Reveal CompanyGoogle is Woke? Tell Us Something We Don’t Know
After Google Gemini was revealed to be rewriting history from a woke perspective, with racial history being distorted when it was asked simple prompts, numerous former Google employees spoke of the woke culture at Google and how it has zealously adopted diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices.
In February, Google paused its AI chatbot’s image generation feature after it was accused of racism against white people. The chatbot was accused of refusing to generate images of white people after Frank Fleming, a writer for Daily Wire scripted content, repeatedly asked the chatbot — whose “next-generation model” Gemini 1.5 offered image generation — for such images.
In a long X thread, Fleming began by asking for an image of a pope. Historically, popes have been white men, but the chatbot posted images of a dark-skinned man and woman. Fleming then proceeded to ask for images of medieval knights (garnering four images, two dark-skinned women and two dark-skinned men); jokingly asked for someone eating “a mayo sandwich on white bread;” asked for an image of a Viking; and then asked for images of groups that are traditionally non-white (such as Japanese samurai and Zulu warriors) to see if the chatbot would show diversity by including white people. It did not.

Google’s Culture of Fear – inside the DEI hivemind that led to gemini’s disaster
Woke ruins everything it touches, Google is evil and biased and you should never use it and they are discriminating against everything not DEI.
Last week, following Google’s Gemini disaster, it quickly became clear the $1.7 trillion-dollar giant had bigger problems than its hotly anticipated generative AI tool erasing white people from human history. Separate from the mortifying clownishness of this specific and egregious breach of public trust, Gemini was obviously — at its absolute best — still grossly inferior to its largest competitors. This failure signaled, for the first time in Google’s life, real vulnerability to its core business, and terrified investors fled, shaving over $70 billion off the kraken’s market cap. Now, the industry is left with a startling question: how is it even possible for an initiative so important, at a company so dominant, to fail so completely?
This is Google, an invincible search monopoly printing $80 billion a year in net income, sitting on something like $120 billion in cash, employing over 150,000 people, with close to 30,000 engineers. Could the story really be so simple as out-of-control DEI-brained management? To a certain extent, and on a few teams far more than most, this does appear to be true. But on closer examination it seems woke lunacy is only a symptom of the company’s far greater problems. First, Google is now facing the classic Innovator’s Dilemma, in which the development of a new and important technology well within its capability undermines its present business model. Second, and probably more importantly, nobody’s in charge.

Diversity In Air Traffic Control Is Going To Cost Lives
So far, no airliner passengers have died from air traffic control DIE. But The New York Times has been running a long series of hair-rising articles about recent near misses due to bad air traffic control, such as:
How a Series of Air Traffic Control Lapses Nearly Killed 131 People
Two planes were moments from colliding in Texas, a harrowing example of the country’s fraying air safety system, a New York Times investigation found.
Why? There’s a shortage of air traffic controllers who make it through training, so the ones who do are overworked. The Times reports:
Yet training is difficult; many aspiring controllers fail…. From 2011 to 2022, the number of fully certified controllers declined more than 9 percent, even though traffic increased. Based on targets set by the F.A.A. and the union representing controllers, 99 percent of the nation’s air traffic control sites are understaffed.
A lot of industries were getting by before Covid by keeping competent baby boomers employed into their dotage. But air traffic controllers have a mandatory retirement age of 56, so the oldest controllers are now Gen-Xers born in 1967. The coming Competence Crisis is on track to hit air traffic control earlier than many other professions.
But of course there’s no mention in the Times of how the Obama administration sabotaged the old test for selecting the most promising candidates for training in order to hire more blacks. That’s just too off-narrative for Times subscribers. They don’t pay good money to have their worldview about who are the Good Guys and who are the Bad Guys in any and all situations undermined.
Many naive people assume, after all these generations, that affirmative action doesn’t mean lowering standards, it just means what it was originally sold as in the mid-’60s: expanding recruitment to find nontraditional diamonds in the rough.

DEI In The Airlines, Failure In The Air
The CEO of Alaska Airlines said new, in-house inspections of the carrier’s Boeing 737 Max 9 planes in the wake of a near-disaster earlier this month revealed that “many” of the aircraft were found to have loose bolts.
In an exclusive interview with NBC News senior correspondent Tom Costello, Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci discussed the findings of his company’s inspections so far since the Jan. 5 incident, in which a panel on one of its Max 9 jets blew out midair on a flight carrying 177 people.
“I’m more than frustrated and disappointed,” he said. “I am angry. This happened to Alaska Airlines. It happened to our guests and happened to our people. And — my demand on Boeing is what are they going to do to improve their quality programs in-house.”
So, as I predicted in 2008, after a moderate first term helped Barack Obama get reelected in 2012, in 2013 Obama let loose his people to pursue their agenda of Diversity-Inclusion-Equity (DIE).
White House officials decided in 2013 to purge the hiring list of over 1,000 graduates of the air traffic control course at colleges like Arizona State who had also passed the cognitive exam for hiring. Instead, it made air traffic control job-seekers start over with a new “biographical” test to “add diversity to the workforce.”
This was in response to complaints from the National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees that only 9.47 percent of FAA workers were black compared with 17.6 percent in the federal civilian workforce. “Thus, the FAA would be required to increase their complement of African American workers by 8.13 percent to reach parody [sic] with the Federal Civilian Workforce.”
This is not a parody.
The Obama administration’s new biographical test was blatantly rigged to boost blacks and hurt whites by leaning in to anti-black stereotypes. From the lawsuit against the FAA filed by the Mountain States Legal Foundation:
…a candidate could be awarded 15 points, the highest possible for any question, if they indicated that their lowest grades in high school were in science…. In contrast, an applicant was awarded only 2 points if they had a pilot’s certificate and no points were awarded for having a Control Tower Operator rating or having Instrument Flight Rules experience…. In addition, one question on the Biographical Questionnaire awarded an applicant 10 points, the most available for that question, if the applicant answered s/he had not been employed in the prior three years. Another question awarded 4 or 8 points if the applicant had been unemployed five or more months in the prior three years. Statistics from the Department of Labor indicate that African Americans had the highest unemployment rate in 2010–2014.
Even the federal organization that made up this absurd biographical test reported to the FAA that it hadn’t been validated.
I’ve never wanted to get on a plane less than I do right now. They have crazy people in Air Traffic Control with mental issues and DEI ruining aircraft maintenance. A pilot who couldn’t qualify other than through diversity almost crashed his plane because he shouldn’t have been flying to begin with.
Diversity and woke ruins everything it touches, but in this case a plane is coming down soon because some assholes think that equality and diversity is more important than skill and training.

The CEO Of United Shows Why We Should Never Fly On Them Again
Airline safety is no place for diversity hires. It starts at the top with United. This guy is off his rocker. I’m never flying them because I don’t want to die because some DEI hire isn’t the best qualified candidate for safety, rather they checked enough boxes for image over knowledge.
How could the board at United have considered this nonsense, or continued to put up with it after this:
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby admitted in a recent interview that they are no longer seeking the most qualified candidates to transport their passengers on commercial flights safely.
Instead, he is committed to ensuring that diversity wins out at the expense of safety and white males. “We have committed that 50% of the classes will be women or people of color,” he boasted.
It turns out the woke, racist Kirby has a bizarre fetish as well. Videos of him performing in drag are going viral today thanks partly to Libs of Tiktok, who first uncovered Kirby’s disturbing interview.
Below is footage of Kirby dressing up as Lady Gaga and rocking out to her famous song “Bad Romance.” This was part of the US Airways Halloween performance posted to YouTube in 2010. Kirby was president of the airline company at the time.

Universities Use DEI Statements To Enforce Groupthink
DEI Statements Are Political Litmus Tests
Since 2014, an unprecedented number of college professors have been targeted, punished, or fired for what they said, published, or taught. Meanwhile, colleges and universities are becoming even less ideologically diverse than they already were. Professors around the country are reporting their speech chilled in an increasingly homogenous environment.
While you might expect universities to respond to this issue by making efforts to mitigate groupthink, the opposite has occurred. Over the past several years universities across the country have decided that it’s time to add DEI statements as part of the hiring and review process.

And I Remember When Johns Hopkins Used To Be Both Respected And Good
DEI ruins everything it touches
Johns Hopkins Medicine’s Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Health Equity (DEI) recently sparked outrage over a discriminatory “privilege list” ahead of MLK Day, which claims that nine “social identity groups” are the benefactors of “unearned benefits.”
Condemning whites, Christians, males, cis-gendered straight people, the able-bodied, middle class and property owners, the middle-aged, and English speakers, the newsletter reads, “Privilege is a set of unearned benefits given to people who are in a specific social group. Privilege operates on personal, interpersonal, cultural, and institutional levels, and it provides advantages and favors to members of dominant groups at the expense of members of other groups. In the United States, privilege is granted to people who have membership in one or more of these social identity groups.”
The letter continues, “Privilege is characteristically invisible to people who have it. People in dominant groups often believe they have earned the privileges they enjoy or that everyone could have access to these privileges if only they worked to earn them. In fact, privileges are unearned and are granted to people in the dominant groups whether they want those privileges or not, and regardless of their stated intent.”
Martin Luther King Jr. seemingly did not foresee this in his dream that all Americans “will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Still, the university included this “social identities” judgment in their MLK Day celebration

This Is How It Began In Germany In The 1930’s Also
Orthodox Jewish leaders condemned The Harvard Crimson, the student newspaper of Harvard University, for “whitewashing” antisemitism in a series of op-eds published at the tail end of 2023.
Although Harvard’s efforts to respond to antisemitism on campus after Hamas’ terrorist attacks Oct. 7 in Israel drew early scrutiny, the university took the spotlight even more after its president, Claudine Gay, said at a Dec. 5 congressional hearing that calls for genocide against the Jewish people may not violate Harvard’s policies against harassment, depending on context. Gay resigned Tuesday amid a plagiarism scandal; concerns about Harvard’s failure to clamp down on antisemitism remain.
The Harvard Crimson published “Antisemitism at Harvard, According to Seven Jewish Affiliates” on Dec. 29, a package of five “op-eds,” three of which warn against the “weaponization of antisemitism” against pro-Palestine protesters.
One op-ed claims that “Jewish safety—in Israel and the diaspora—is inextrictably intertwined with Palestinian liberation.” In another, a former executive director of Harvard Hillel condemns “today’s McCarthyist tactic of manufacturing an antisemitism scare, which, in effect, turns the very real issue of Jewish safety into a pawn in a cynical political game to cover for Israel’s deeply unpopular policies with regard to Palestine.”
Some essays acknowledge the deep pain that Israelis and American Jews feel since the Hamas attacks of Oct. 7 in southern Israel, where terrorists slaughtered more than 1,200 people, including women and children, and raped women while murdering them.

IBM Discriminates Against Whites And Asians
An internal video that was leaked shows how IBM violates the Civil Rights act and Title 9 for hiring and discrimination.
They did that 10 years ago when I was there. I worked tangentially with the CEO in the video and all I can say is he is better than Gini Rometty. She managed to lose half the value of the company while promoting girl cattiness.
It sucked to work there then, and any friends I have left there say it got exponentially worse as a working environment.
It’s too bad as there were some times there that we did some of the best work in the industry. Everyone wanted to work hard and work together. It was a system of meritocracy that promoted quality work and talent without regard to skin color. I also saw times that I saw the back biting and people decided not to help each other because they spent most of their time trying not to get fired.
The woke crap was already starting with the LGBTQWXYZ push, as they played favorites with them also.
IBM is cutting their own throats. It’s unity, not diversity that makes for greatness.

FAFO Chronicles – UPenn Hit With Antisemitism Lawsuit
The president had to resign after playing the fool in front of Congress and the world. I’m sure the people who said these things don’t know why they hate the Jews. They are taught to hate for hates sake at these Universities. They are indoctrination centers, not institutions of learning.

You might not want to be too quick to shed a tear over former President Liz Magill’s plight, however, since she is still a fully tenured professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School:
The “Preliminary Statement” in the NYU lawsuit detailed the disgusting antisemitism rampant allegedly present at NYU as follows:
The age-old virus of antisemitism is alive and well at New York University. This case arises from NYU’s egregious civil rights violations that have created a hostile educational environment in which plaintiffs and other Jewish NYU students have been subjected to pervasive acts of hatred, discrimination, harassment, and intimidation. For years, NYU—acutely aware of ongoing and disgraceful acts of anti-Jewish bigotry—has reacted with, at best, deliberate indifference, refusing to enforce its own anti-discrimination and conduct policies that it readily applies to protect other targets of bigotry, and instead fostering an environment in which students and faculty members are permitted to repeatedly abuse, malign, vilify, and threaten Jewish students with impunity. Regularly confronted with such genocidal chants as, “Hitler was right,” “gas the Jews,” “death to kikes,” and “from the river to the sea,” and other abuse, plaintiffs not only have been deprived of the ability and opportunity to fully and meaningfully participate in NYU’s educational and other programs, but they have suffered and have been put at severe risk of extreme emotional and physical injury.

Indigenous peoples are presented as in need of justice and reparations. Jews are presented as white people. It is therefore ok to hate Israel and Jews as they are deemed to be oppressors.”

When Diversity Fails.
Meritocracy should be the reason for advancement, but these days it’s not the case.
The story below was a show of just such a thing and the outcome, diversity went into the drink.
People who are qualified and could do a better job won’t bother when they know they are penalized because they are the wrong color, have a dick, graduate in the of their class.
Here you go.
It’s a troubling sign when our military prioritizes diversity over defense. But sadly, this aligns with the progressive obsession for celebrating “firsts”—be it the first female president or the first cross-dressing, luggage-stealing Department of Energy employee. However, the problem with this unprofessional approach is the shift in focus from the actual job that has to get done to aimlessly promoting a laundry list of social issues. When you lose sight of the primary objective and concentrate on the superficial fluff, your mission is doomed. This is particularly true for the US military, where losing focus can mean death. They nearly learned this lesson the hard way, thanks to a diverse group of Navy women who missed the runway and ended up landing in the water.
A Navy P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol airplane is in Hawaii’s Kaneohe Bay after attempting to land on a Marine Corps runway Monday afternoon, according to Marine Corps officials.
The P-8A reconnaissance and surveillance aircraft was on approach to land on the runway at Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay on the island of Oahu.
“The aircraft was landing and overshot” the runway, said 1st Lt. Hailey Harms, a Marine Corps Base Hawaii spokesperson, told USNI News.
The aircraft, assigned to the Whidbey Island, Wash.-based “Skinny Dragons” of Patrol Squadron (VP) 4″ landed at 1:59 p.m. local Hawaii time and ended up in shallow water just off the coast. The air station’s main runway runs in a northeast-to-southwest direction.
“At approximately 2 p.m. local (Hawaii), a U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon overshot the runway on landing at Marine Corps Air Station, Kaneohe Bay, and ended up in nearby water,” reads a statement from U.S. 3rd Fleet.
“All personnel safely evacuated the aircraft. The crew, assigned to Whidbey Island, Wash.-based squadron VP-4 ‘Skinny Dragons,” were on a detachment in support of maritime homeland defense.”
Nine people were aboard the aircraft at the time but no immediate injuries were reported.
“They are still being medically assessed,” Harms said.
Base emergency services quickly responded to the scene, including federal firefighters, military police, air traffic control, fire rescue and waterfront operations, she said.
Thankfully, no one was injured, but this doesn’t excuse the fact that a very expensive U.S. aircraft is now a giant “floaty” in the water, thanks to the left’s obsession with diversity, not quality.
And when they’re confronted with this issue, they circle the wagons, deploying every measure to protect their twisted social experiments. A prime example of this happened with a popular X user known as “Amuse,” who commented on the Navy incident only to be immediately attacked by “Community Notes” without justification. This incident illustrates the lengths to which social media platforms will go to defend flawed diversity initiatives. Here’s what he shared in his post:
DIVERSITY: Shortly after a Navy P-8A overshot the runway and landed in Kaneohe Bay (everyone survived) I pointed out that the crew was diverse. For that I got a scathing community note saying it wasn’t true. The Navy is very proud of the fact that it’s P-8 fleet features the most diverse crews in military aviation. 1st Lt. Hailey Harms, a Marine spokesperson confirmed the crew was both diverse and alive. Because the MSM isn’t reporting the identity of the crew the community notes community decided my comment was wrong. Annoying and false. Before you apply a community note make sure you know what you’re talking about – your inability to confirm a statement isn’t proof it isn’t accurate. Note: This crew photo is just the one the Navy distributed to show how diverse its P-8 crews are. They did not share one of the P-8 crew that went for a swim.
Sadly, there have been countless incidents lately where women “teams” have wreaked major havoc, from taking over marketing departments and crushing major businesses like Bud Light and Target to accidentally starting devastating forest fires.

It’s commendable that women are eager to contribute, but the notion that ‘girl power’ alone is superior when managing global affairs is not only misguided but also potentially hazardous and profoundly unwise.

The Liberal College And University System Supporting Hamas Goes Bad
The institutions of liberal indoctrination got a nice Sunday surprise. They either backed the butchers of Hamas, condemned Israel or wouldn’t say the truth. The students acted the fool that they usually do and got called out where it hurts, in the future job market.
Here is a roundup so that you can develop a your own pattern of thinking. If it walks like a duck……they are anti-Semites and are on the side of terrorism, and against the USA. You should consider wisely before sending your kids to these places and wasting your money.
MICHELE EXNER: The Real Reason Why So Many Young Americans Are Siding With Pure Evil
The Oct. 7th terror attack in Israel marked the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
There should have been a resounding and unified condemnation against these barbaric attacks, but shockingly, the statements from student groups and universities across the U.S. like Harvard, Columbia, Stanford and George Washington University, showed many young Americans siding with Hamas terrorists instead of standing up for the innocent people targeted and killed.
Much attention has been given to the radical protests and anti-Israel rhetoric coming out of college campuses, but it would be naive to think these students developed this warped sense of morality in just a few years or in a few classes at college. What we are witnessing is the manifestation of hate-filled indoctrination that has taken root in K-12 classrooms across the country.
Pro-Hamas protests show how higher education has finally crossed the line
Higher education may have finally crossed the line.
With the horrific massacre, rapes and infant murders and kidnappings Hamas proudly perpetrated in Israel, much of the American academic community, especially at elite universities, sided with . . . Hamas.

Meet the key figures propelling antisemitism at Harvard
Thirty-four student groups at Harvard University signed a letter earlier this week in response to the attack on Israel by Hamas that left 1,200 dead and at least 2,700 wounded. That letter blamed Israel for the attacks.
“We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence. The apartheid regime is the only one to blame,” the letter reads. “Israeli violence has structured every aspect of Palestinian existence for 75 years.”
The Alternate Universe of Anti-Israel Protestors
The sudden outpouring of anti-Israel, pro-Palestine outrage on countless campuses is hardly surprising given how universities are so grievance group friendly. More surprising is the content of these protests, namely proclaiming a morally upside-down world where Israel is the oppressor and Hamas the victim (the Harvard letter said, “Palestinians have been forced to live in a state of death, both slow and sudden.”) Here the killing of innocent civilians and the beheading of babies counts for nothing while Humas savagery becomes noble “resistance.” It is this rejection of reality that is truly puzzling.

Your Thursday Morning Harvard Report
Well, now they are narcissistic to think they can judge good and evil. It never surprises me that they are so insulated from the real world that they have ruined a good education for the sake of woke. I wonder if hiring managers are thinking of this when they consider the type of graduates they are turning out.
This will come back to bite them for being racist.
Excerpts and then the story:
But at Harvard, everyone is so smart that they feel they know what the world should look like. Good and evil are defined in the president’s office at Harvard.
So, there is less interest in “equal protection” than achieving social outcomes that reflect how the president of Harvard thinks the world should be.
Per the president, “diversity and difference are essential to academic excellence.” And “Harvard must be a place of opportunity.”
But “diversity and difference,” per Harvard’s president, is about race and ethnicity, not about differences among unique individual human beings.
Back to the Bible, standing before the judge is a unique human being with personal responsibility to follow the law. The person’s color, gender or bank account is not the issue. Personal behavior is.
Let’s consider two areas of ethnic differences.
The Brookings Institution looked at math scores of high school students in the SAT.
The average score in 2020 was 523 out of 800.
Average scores by race/ethnicity were: Black, 454; Hispanic, 478; White, 547; and Asian, 632.
Around each average score is a distribution of individuals above and below that score. There may be Black students with a score way above the 454 average. However, for Harvard, most important is a student’s “blackness” rather than his or her individuality.
Pew Research reports that the percentage of 40-year-old Americans that have never been married is now 25%, an all-time high. In 1980, this stood at 6%.
Clearly, marriage is breaking down. But here are the ethnic/racial differences among the percentage of never-married 40-year-olds: White, 20%; Black, 46%; Hispanic, 27%; and Asian, 17%.
Is there meaning in the fact that the order of the percentages of never married 40-year-olds by race/ethnicity is the same as the order of the math scores? Does it say anything that Asians, where marriage is most intact, have the highest math scores? And that Blacks, where marriage is least intact, have the worst?
Marriage, family and children flow out of a worldview that everything is not about me – that there is right and wrong, that there is a future, that there are eternal values, that there is personal responsibility, that there is love.
As these values have broken down in America, marriage has broken down.
It is these same values that establish a legal system that demands “equal treatment” under the law – that judges do not decide what the world should look like, but instead apply equally God’s law.
In other words, knowledge, truth, learning and justice emerge from a world of unique individuals that recognize there is truth and personal responsibility.
The Harvard take on things – politics and moral relativism – has hurt Black Americans, not helped. It is the problem rather than the solution.

Harvard And UNC-CH Get Exposed By The Supreme Court As Woke Racist Universities
The Supreme Court ruled that Colleges and Universities can’t discriminate on admission based on race. That is racism even if the student discriminated isn’t of preferred pigment. If you discriminate against a color, it doesn’t matter what the color is. They are racist.
They have said they didn’t want an Asian and white looking student policy, which it would be in a fair system based on meritocracy. That would of course have graduated the best and the brightest for companies.
So that is one of the leading public and private universities that discriminate. Worse, they are letting substandard students who can’t complete the curriculum, and saddle them with life debilitating student loans. It’s not fair to those students.
Harvard has been overrated for decades, unless you have NY connections. UNC-CH is one of the wokest, leftarded socialist places in the country. Since it isn’t that good of a school, they don’t even have an excuse, other than being woke. They are the top of the out of touch places you could find. Again, it’s not good for the kids or the companies they send employees to.
All of this is is woke crap that hurts all of the student populations. Not mentioned are those students not let in because they weren’t the wrong color.
Now, they have been exposed for just what they are, woke, racist and discriminatory.
THE RULING
Well, it’s extraordinarily important. It has established or reestablished something we strayed from in judicial decisions, a very clear statement that an individual is to be judged as an individual, not based on race. And that’s something that a lot of universities particularly have gotten away from….
I think it may have a big impact, particularly on Asian students because particularly in the Harvard case, they are the ones who were the focus of the discrimination more than anybody else. And if the percentage of Asians in the school is not acceptable to the school administrators, that’s just too bad. The Constitution guarantees each of those people to be treated as an individual, not as a proxy for an ethnic group or a racial group.
Said Thomas:
“The Harvard and UNC admissions programs cannot be reconciled with the guarantees of the Equal Protection Clause,” he writes. “Both programs lack sufficiently focused and measurable objectives warranting the use of race, unavoidably employ race in a negative manner, involve racial stereotyping, and lack meaningful end points. We have never permitted admissions programs to work in that way, and we will not do so today.”
It doesn’t get clearer than that, in what is the most significant opinion of the Chief’s career. “Eliminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it,” he writes.
The Court’s opinion is especially bracing because it clears up a half-century of muddled Supreme Court rulings. In 1978 in Bakke, it opened the door to racial preferences in a plurality opinion by Justice Lewis Powell. When the issue inevitably came up again in Grutter v. Bollinger in 2003, the Court again fudged by declaring the narrow use of race kosher while adding that it should not be necessary in 25 years.
HARVARD STILL PLANS TO DISCRIMINATE
It turns out that Harvard is going to ignore the ruling and continue to discriminate, be racist and hurt the education of kids of every color.

Education Update, Colleges Going Off The Deep End With Victimhood And Craziness

Here’s the Ugly Truth About Why Middle Class Kids Aren’t Getting Into Harvardhttps://www.revolver.news/2023/03/the-ugly-truth-about-why-middle-class-kids-not-getting-into-harvard/
It’s springtime, which means its college admissions season. And, for thousands of American families cursed to bear the wrong skin color, this means a rude encounter with the new American regime’s priorities.
On Feb. 23, Twitter anon Peachy Keenan relayed the story of a friend’s niece, and her faceplant during last year’s admissions cycle.
Go read the rest at the link, but if you aren’t in the hierarchy of victimhood, you ain’t gettin’ in. Most hurt – Asians and whites.
Next…
As affirmative action likely comes to an end later this SCOTUS term, higher ed will not give up its obsession with racial preferences, it’ll just eliminate the key type of evidence relied upon by the Asian students in the Harvard case: Standardized test scores.
Yep, the Asians take a hit because the school would be mostly that group, as they are the most qualified to go. But no, you are not the right victim.

LGBTQ Students Changing College Choices Based on Supposedly ‘Anti-Gay’ State Policies
But after his native Florida adopted legislation restricting LGBTQ rights, Nobles, who is gay, is planning to find a similar environment in a different political climate. The 19-year-old says he wouldn’t have to worry as much about discrimination or even physical assault in California.
“I came to reality and realized that I might actually have to involve those things into where I go, because you never know where I might be going,” Cody said, expressing concern about the possibility of having to attend school in “a place that has a record of hate crimes or a very old-fashioned point of view when it comes to gender.”
“For me personally, I just naturally assumed I was going to college down here,” he said. “But if things got worse, then I suppose I would have no choice.”
More victimhood. I haven’t read about physical assaults on that group recently, but don’t confuse the narrative with facts.
MIT Anti-Free Speech Hate Hoax
Hate hoaxes are good for more than garnering the sympathy of fools. They can also be used to shut down free speech, as with flyers blaspheming against sacred sexual deviants that were found on the campus of Massachusetts Institute of Technology:
The incident came in the wake of a two-month-old MIT faculty resolution that defends freedom of speech and expression — even speech some find “offensive or injurious.”
Even some college professors are getting fed up with the climate of fear that prevents the free exchange of ideas.
A report released in mid-January by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression … found that “Large portions of MIT faculty and students are afraid to express their views in various academic settings. Faculty and students are at least as afraid of each other as they are of the administration.”

‘Better and Stronger’: Harvard Hosts Second Annual Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging Forum
Harvard students and affiliates participated in the University’s second annual Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging Forum last week under the theme “Reckoning and Transformation,” gathering for keynote speakers, mixers, and performances.
The three-day forum — which was hosted in a hybrid format by the Office for Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging — included speakers from the Harvard Museum of Science and Culture, the Harvard University Native American Program, and Harvard’s faculty.
The forum featured a keynote speech from founder and president of Justice for Migrant Women Moníca Ramírez and a conversation with vice provost Sarah Bleich, who will oversee the implementation of Harvard’s Legacy of Slavery initative.
Harvard’s Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer Sherri A. Charleston, who both attended and spoke at the event, wrote in an email to The Crimson that the forum was intended to provide Harvard affiliates with an opportunity to learn about diversity initiatives.
“The EDIB Forum, for me, is about passing the mic to those who don’t regularly have opportunities to participate, share ideas, or ask questions on a University-wide platform,” Charleston wrote. “There is a wealth of expertise here at Harvard, and the Forum is an opportunity for all of us, me included, to learn with and from nationally recognized experts.”
The event included discussion around Harvard’s reckoning with its legacy of slavery, Gen Z activism, and the ethical stewardship of the Harvard Museum Collections.
The forum occurred in light of controversy surrounding the stewardship of the remains of 19 individuals of African, African-American, and Brazilian descent who were likely to have been enslaved. According to a report by the University’s Steering Committee on Human Remains in Harvard Museum Collections, Harvard museums house the remains of more than 22,000 human individuals.

Columbia Replaces Hippocratic Oath
Since the days of the Greeks, doctors have been guided by the Hippocratic Oath, by which physicians pledge to administer only beneficial treatment and to refrain from causing harm. This oath is obsolete, now that killing children in the womb and sexually disfiguring them to advance a political agenda are considered “health care.” Columbia University — the American beachhead of the cultural Marxist Frankfurt School that has remained at the cutting edge of wokeness — provides an alternative:
The 140 members of the Class of 2025 were welcomed into the profession of medicine at August’s White Coat Ceremony with the usual traditions but with one twist…
Students decided on a new oath … that better reflects the values they wish to uphold as they enter their medical training.
These “values” consist mainly of leftist identity politics.
The VP&S [Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons] Class of 2025 has more students from underrepresented minority backgrounds than any medical school class in Columbia’s history.
Formerly, medical schools took pride in their students’ aptitude. Now they take pride in the students not being white. This does not bode well for the future quality of healthcare.
Going forward, each incoming MD class will have the opportunity to create its own oath.
This is important, because what is politically correct one year can fall behind into thoughtcrime the next as we rush at an ever-accelerating speed toward absolute moonbattery.
Here’s how this year’s oath starts:
“We enter the profession of medicine with appreciation for the opportunity to build on the scientific and humanistic achievements of the past. We also recognize the acts and systems of oppression effected in the name of medicine. We take this oath of service to begin building a future grounded in truth, restoration, and equity to fulfill medicine’s capacity to liberate.”
The loaded buzzwords “oppression” “equity,” and “liberate” signify that medicine is not about medicine anymore. Like everything else that has fallen to the Long March Through the Institutions, it is about leftism.
Yale thinks climate change needs to be a part of the curriculum

Yale sacred music center launches climate change art initiative
The Institute of Sacred Music at Yale University has a new initiative that seeks to combine art, religion and concern for “ecological crises.”
Titled the “Religion, Ecology, and Expressive Culture Initiative,” the program’s aim is to “amplify cross-disciplinary and integrative work at the intersection of religion, ecology, and expressive culture,” according to its website.
Ryan Darr, the postdoctoral researcher who runs the program, told The College Fix via email that the goal is to “support and disseminate the work of scholars, artists and practitioners both at Yale and beyond.”
“Going forward, we hope that most of the initiative’s energy and resources will go to supporting the proposals of others,” Darr said in his email.
“Our plans for the initiative this semester include a webinar series titled ‘Mass Extinction: Art, Ritual, Story and the Sacred,’” Darr said. The initiative also plans an “art exhibition in April with Angela Manno called ‘Sacred Biodiversity: Icons of Threatened and Endangered Species.’”
Manno is an iconographer who “has brought the same kind of religious ‘reverence’ to nature by featuring endangered animals in her art,” the Yale Daily News reported.
“We’re also involved with the ‘Breath of Life’ concert, including a roundtable before the conference on images of Eden and the garden,” Darr told The Fix.
Dartmouth gets into DEI to ruin equity.
The left is doubling down on these policies. They don’t care about public opposition, they’re just doing what they want to do.
The College Fix reports:
‘Towards Equity’ Dartmouth event introduces years-long program to implement DEI
Dartmouth College hosted an event Jan. 31 to launch a three-year institutional program called “Towards Equity: Aligning Action and Accountability,” dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging.
The College Fix attended the event along with approximately 125 people, mostly Dartmouth administrators and professors.
A document sent to all attendees outlines DEI initiatives Dartmouth is planning for the coming years, including establishing an Institute for Black Intellectual and Cultural Life “following the national racial unrest in 2020,” according to the document.
Additionally, Dartmouth aims to increase the number of faculty of color, provide more resources for underrepresented minorities in STEM, and implement DEI training for all leaders on campus.
“The weight of systemic forms of oppression are heavy,” Shontay Delalue, who led the development of the three-year initiative, told the group at the event.
Delalue is senior vice president and senior diversity officer with the Dartmouth Division of Institutional Diversity and Equity. She has a doctorate in education and is an adjunct assistant professor of African and African American Studies, according to her university bio.
To Delalue, equity means “leveling the playing field” and giving people what they need as opposed to “giving everybody the same thing,” which she would define as equality, she told The Fix in an interview. “Equity is making sure that in policies and practices that people who have not been given access in the past are now getting access, so it’s leveling the playing field, not just making sure everybody has the same exact thing.”
