#BWBB Black Women Behaving Badly, Thursday Edition – Metro Atlanta judge arrested at Buckhead nightclub, faces felony charge

Douglas County Probate Judge Christina J. Peterson was arrested at a Buckhead nightclub early Thursday and charged with battery and felony obstruction, accused of striking an officer on the head and refusing to identify herself, records show.

Peterson, who is the subject of a yearslong judicial misconduct investigation, was apprehended at the Red Martini Restaurant and Lounge on Peachtree Road. Fulton County Jail records show she faces a felony charge of willful obstruction of law enforcement officers by use of threats or violence, and a charge of simple battery against a police officer.

Fire Alarm Bowman Out In Primaries, Squad Now Down A Member

When I was in college, pulling the fire alarms in the dorms at 2 in the morning after a night of drinking was a fun prank.

Jamaal Bowman never grew up I guess. After pulling the alarm to delay a vote, the dumbass didn’t know that he was on tape and couldn’t lie his way out of it in the media.

Let’s hope the voters dump the rest of the squad who seem far more interested in making us socialist than helping the citizens, that part is in their job description.

U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) — one of the most far-left representatives in Congress and member of the Progressive Caucus — has lost his primary election to a moderate challenger.

George Latimer, a Westchester County executive, defeated Bowman after a contentious primary race that has widely been viewed as a fight between ideological factions of the Democratic Party. Bowman had aligned himself with the “ceasefire now” movement, which calls for an end to hostilities in the Gaza Strip and accuses Israel of being complicit in genocide.

Millions of dollars poured into the race from both inside and outside the district, making it the most expensive House primary in history. According to an analysis from ad tracking firm AdImpact, more than $25 million was spent overall. Roughly $15 million came from the United Democracy Project, a super PAC linked to the powerful pro-Israel lobby American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which backed Latimer.

On Illegals

When working at IBM, I told a Puerto Rican colleague that illegal immigration would hurt the country. He was young and a legal immigrant and didn’t agree. He also didn’t understand Cloward-Piven. I have a relative that held a green card for over 10 years waiting to get citizenship while people invading the border got money, food and a nice place to stay in exchange for votes. I also lived in Miami and got to see the Marielito’s decimate the city.

The guys name at IBM was Mauricio G. and would go on to backstab me as I was protecting him politically. I let it go but it was interesting to see this viewpoint, a non-native citizen trying to make America into another country.

Well Mauricio, just because you don’t understand what made America great, like laws and borders doesn’t mean that facts aren’t true.

Here Are The White House Covid Files, Click To Find Out What They Did To Us

Click on the link to X below to see the whole thing.

In July 2021, a senior Pfizer board member secretly began working with a Biden Administration operative to suppress criticism of Covid vaccines on X, newly released internal documents from X show.

Top officials at Twitter (now X) viewed the men – Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the Pfizer director, and Andy Slavitt, the operative, who had officially left a senior White House post just weeks before – as speaking for the administration in their censorship demands, the documents show.

The new documents raise constitutional and legal concerns about the Biden Administration’s social media censorship efforts, as well as Pfizer’s role in banning criticism of a product that made up almost half its sales in 2021.

Within days, the Supreme Court is expected to decide Murthy v Missouri, a landmark lawsuit over the administration’s efforts to control debate on social media.

The new documents provide crucial perspective on the Missouri case, showing how far would-be censors went in 2021 to prop up public confidence in the Covid jabs. The documents also show the power the White House had over Twitter, which badly wanted to avoid a confrontation with it.

At the time, the Biden Administration was threatening to “review” a federal law commonly called Section 230, because it was angry social media companies were allowing Covid vaccine skepticism.

Section 230 was crucial to those companies for the near-total immunity it gave them against lawsuits from users. Twitter took threats to it seriously. “We will always be proactive and vigilant about protecting 230,” Lauren Culbertson, the company’s then-head of United States public policy, wrote on July 22, 2021.

None of these internal documents has been previously released.

They are part of a tranche of censorship-related material X is making available to me following searches of its internal archives.

Lawyers for X are reviewing the documents before releasing them. But so far only one document they have provided – an email from Jim Baker, Twitter’s then-deputy general counsel – contains any redactions.

In addition, no one at X, including Elon Musk, asked for or placed any restrictions on or had any input into the writing of this article. (Lawyers for X did ask to review it after writing but before publication, to be sure the names of junior employees or their email addresses were not included. Their review did not result in any changes.)

The censorship conspiracy by Slavitt and Gottlieb targeted me personally.

I am not named in any of the new documents provided so far. Slavitt and Gottlieb used careful – almost coded – language in their outreach to Twitter on July 18 and 19, 2021. They did initially not refer to any particular censorship targets by name. But emails and other internal Twitter documents that have already been released show I was a top target of both men.

, my complaint against Slavitt, Gottlieb, Pfizer chairman Dr. Albert Bourla, and the Biden Administration for conspiring to force Twitter to ban me in 2021. Gottlieb’s lawyers previously argued I had not alleged Gottlieb had had any contact with Twitter officials before August 2021. The documents show otherwise.

In fact, Slavitt introduced Gottlieb to Todd O’Boyle – a senior Twitter lobbyist who handled most of the company’s interactions with the White House – by email on Sunday, July 18, 2021. Slavitt, a longtime Democratic operative, had served as senior advisor to the Biden administration’s Covid response team.

“I wonder if you would be open to a 20 minute call with Scott Gottlieb and me about a policy matter,” Slavitt wrote. Slavitt referred to Gottlieb as “FDA commissioner under Trump” and failed to mention his role on Pfizer’s board.

Although he had officially left the Biden Administration weeks before, Slavitt’s email signature also contained his White House email address, asking that “Government Email” be sent there.

The Draft Defines Males vs. Females

I wonder how feminist are going to be now? When they figure out how hard it is to fight for your country, haul 90 lbs of equipment for miles, risk your life and do all of this mostly for no gratitude, it changes the rules. They will be all to happy to let the men do the heavy lifting to protect their asses so they can bitch about the country, men, history and anything else they feel oppressed by at the time.

FAFO, Job Offers Rescinded To Pro-Palestine Protestor Students

Campus Reform reports:

3 in 10 campus ‘pro-Palestine’ protesters had job offer rescinded in past six months: Survey

A recent survey found that 3 in 10 college students or recent graduates had job offers rescinded as a result of their “pro-Palestine” activism.

Intelligent surveyed 672 students or recent college graduates who have engaged in anti-Israel activism and found that 29% of them had a job offer rescinded in the past six months and 55% believe there was bias against them in the hiring process because of their activism.

7 in 10 pro-Palestine activists said they were asked about their protest history during the interview process, according to the survey results.

Intelligent Chief Education and Career Development Advisor Huy Nguyen said that the results are consistent with other studies.

“It’s consistent with another study that we performed where employers expressed concerns that hiring protestors and strongly vocal activists might cause distractions and disruptions in the workplace and negatively impact their workplace,” Nguyen said.

21% of those surveyed also reported negative feedback from potential employers about their activism and 14% either had job offers withdrawn or not extended.

Half Of EV Owners Want To Switch Back To Standard Cars

More sheep have woken up I suppose. There is no good reason or argument for them in their current configuration. They are expensive, hard to charge (compared to an ICE), cost more to insure and are limited in range. I’m not going to get into the socialistic forks in the road like the government kill switch because it just isn’t a very good product yet. There isn’t enough electricity for what they have planned along with AI and all of the restrictions on energy sources

Most buyers thought they were helping the environment or being progressive or tech savvy. I’ve got news for you. This isn’t the answer you were looking for, just money thrown away to feel or look good.

So now we have buyers remorse.

My wife’s nephew in Europe is a big show off with these. For being an engineer, he hasn’t thought this one through, but I’ll always think of him as a jag off. It’s easy to be smart when the pool of people in your country is only 5 million, but then he didn’t think through that either.

Nearly half of American electric vehicle (EV) owners want to buy an internal combustion engine model the next time they buy a car, according to a new study from McKinsey and Company, a leading consulting firm.

Approximately 46% of Americans who own an EV want to go back to a standard vehicle for their next purchase, citing issues like inadequate charging infrastructure and affordability, according to McKinsey’s study, which was obtained and reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The study’s findings further suggest that the Biden administration’s EV push is struggling to land with American consumers, after 46% of respondents indicated that they are unlikely or very unlikely to purchase an EV in a June poll conducted by The Associated Press and the University of Chicago’s Energy Policy Institute.

Moreover, 58% of Americans are very likely to keep their current cars for longer, and 44% are likely to postpone a possible switch to EVs, McKinsey’s study found. Consumers’ concerns about EV charging infrastructure are notable given the slow rollout of the Biden administration’s $7.5 billion public EV charger program, which has so far led to the construction of only a handful of chargers in nearly three years.

#BWBB Black Women Behaving Badly

What’s happening with black women in America? Some are rising to power thanks to the DEI movement, which rewards skin color, gender, and sexual preference over merit, experience, or excellence. However, the problem arises once those women who are not qualified are placed in positions of power and leadership, where they often quickly crash and burn. From embezzling $15 million in COVID funds to engaging in shameless plagiarism, these meritless women have demonstrated that they are not up to the task and struggle with the responsibilities they’ve been given. Naturally, they revert to what they know best: lying, cheating, and stealing. The whole situation is unfair to those black women in this country who succeed based on merit, honesty, and hard work to be lumped in with the large mass of meritless DEI incompetents.

“Black women behaving badly” has become a national pastime that can no longer be ignored. We’ve compiled a list of some of the most infamous cases of black women in leadership roles behaving badly.

Fire Alarm Bowman About To Be Primaried.

Like several other Hamas Caucus members, Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) has had a primary target on his back thanks in no small part to his position on the Israel-Hamas war, where he has demanded a ceasefire, claimed — without evidence — that Israel is committing genocide, and was also exposed as a Hamas rape denier.

He’s also the ice-hole who pulled the fire alarm.

In the first primary battle involving the so-called “Squad” of anti-Israel Democratic Socialists in Congress, Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) survived against her center-left challenger, winning handily in April while vowing during her victory speech to help other Squad members like Bowman and Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) cross the finish line.

Unlike in Lee’s case, Bowman’s polling numbers against his primary opponent, Westchester County Executive George Latimer, have on balance not been good. The most recent poll taken ahead of the early voting period, which started Saturday, showed Latimer with a comfortable lead, though many are undecided according to the poll:

A survey by Emerson College Polling/PIX11/The Hill released Tuesday found Latimer leading Bowman in the primary for New York’s 16th Congressional District with 48 percent support to 31 percent, with 21 percent of respondents undecided.

The poll found that 51 percent of respondents have a favorable view of Bowman, compared to 43 percent who have an unfavorable view of the House Democrat. In comparison, 65 percent said they have a favorable view of Latimer, while 23 percent had an unfavorable view of the county executive.

Not helping matters for the bombastic Bowman in advance of the June 25th primary was the confirmation earlier this month that he is a rather two-faced individual who will say whatever it takes to stay in the good graces of his fellow socialists:

OPEC Leader Smacks Down Globalists’ Oil Prediction, Gives History Lesson Everyone Should Know

In a statement published on the OPEC website Thursday, Secretary General Haitham Al Ghais said the concept of “peak oil demand” is nowhere to be seen in the cartel’s projections for future global crude oil demand.

“[A]s we look to the future it is the very versatility of oil that ensures that we do not see peak oil demand on the horizon,” Al Ghais said.

“Just as peak oil supply has never transpired, predictions of peak oil demand are following a similar trend.”

In my own research, I have been able to trace predictions for the world reaching so-called “peak oil” all the way back to the 1880s.

From that distant beginning through around 2010, peak oil theory was always about the world having somehow reached a peak in crude oil supply as all the big reserves had supposedly already been discovered.

For about 125 years, constant advances in technology and a creative and innovative industry invariably proved such pronouncements wrong, often laughably so.

With the ramping-up of the climate alarmist movement in the first decade of this century, narratives surrounding this always-wrong theory began to shift over to the demand side of the equation. Some anti-oil-and-gas activist groups even adopted the theory as a means of promoting the equally silly notion that the world’s remaining oil resources could simply be left in the ground as demand for them would soon be overwhelmed by rising demand for alternatives.

A decade later, that theory has also been proven laughably wrong, despite the “investment” of many trillions of dollars in debt-funded subsidies.

OPEC’s statement stands in stark contrast to the projection by the International Energy Agency that the world will somehow achieve peak oil demand by 2030. Al Ghais alludes to this preposterous notion, calling it a “dangerous commentary, especially for consumers,” that “will only lead to energy volatility on a potentially unprecedented scale.”

Should we worry more about the cost of energy than a very small rise in temperature over 100 years? Yes No

Completing this poll entitles you to The Western Journal news updates free of charge via email. You may opt out at anytime. You also agree to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

Al Ghais’ statement comes in the wake of revised oil-demand growth projections from the IEA and OPEC, along with Goldman Sachs and the US Energy Information Administration for the remainder of 2024 and into 2025. Where the IEA revised its 2024 projection downward to 1 million barrels per day for 2024, even it projects a more robust 1.5 million bpd in growth for 2025.

The EIA raised its own growth estimate for 2024 from a very conservative 900,000 bpd to 1.1 million bpd.

Goldman Sachs comes in at a stronger 2024 estimate of 1.25 million bpd, based on strong global economic growth. The bank cites robust growth in jet fuel, petrochemical-driven LPG and naphtha, and gasoline and diesel demand as key drivers of this growth.

Homie Don’t Play Chips And Shit – DEI Ruins Construction Of EV Charging Stations

Liberals always eat their own.

What is the reason for the discrepancy between the ambitious goal and the disastrous reality? The Washington Free Beacon obtained internal memos from the Department of Transportation and interviewed those responsible for overseeing the project’s implementation to find out.

It turns out that the administration’s own “Diversity—Equity—Inclusion” initiatives are stalling EV Charging Station construction.

Shortly after taking office, the president signed an executive order mandating that the beneficiaries of 40 percent of all federal climate and environmental programs should come from “underserved communities.” The order also established the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council, which monitors agencies such as the Department of Transportation to ensure the “voices, perspectives, and lived realities of communities with environmental justice concerns are heard in the White House and reflected in federal policies, investments, and decisions.”

In order to qualify for a grant, applicants must “demonstrate how meaningful public involvement, inclusive of disadvantaged communities, will occur throughout a project’s life cycle.” What “public involvement” means is unclear. But the Department of Transportation notes it should involve “intentional outreach to underserved communities.”

That outreach, the Department of Transportation states, can take the form of “games and contests,” “visual preference surveys,” or “neighborhood block parties” so long as the grant recipient provides “multilingual staff or interpreters to interact with community members who use languages other than English.”

“This all just slows down construction,” says Jim Meigs, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute who focuses on federal regulation.

The DEI mandates are also hindering the implementation of the CHIPS and Science Act, a bipartisan measure designed to enhance U.S. semiconductor supply chains and support private-sector investment in domestic research and manufacturing.

“One Of The Most Disappointing ‘Star Wars’ Episodes Ever Made.” Or….. This Is Why You Fail: Makers of ‘The Acolyte’ Brag About Creating ‘The Gayest Star Wars Yet’

It’s overused, but so applicable that it matters. Here’s another get woke, go broke. Just look at who’s in charge below and you can see it isn’t the people who thought up A New Hope or The Empire Strikes Back.

Back when Star Wars was a franchise people cared about, one of the most beloved characters in the movies and shows was everyone’s favorite 900-year-old Jedi master, Yoda. That’s quite an accomplishment for a small green muppet, who somehow became an icon of the galaxy far, far away. 

Yoda is known for the nuggets of wisdom he would impart — in backward English — to his pupils. One of his most famous quotes is what he said to Luke Skywalker to warn him against the temptations of the dark side of the Force, of seeking quick power and strength, as opposed to learning the Jedi way of discipline, patience, and tradition: 

‘Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you, it will.’

After listening to the producer and one of the actors in Star Wars’ latest installment in a franchise that has turned itself into a joke and a dumpster fire, it’s clear that no one at Disney ever bothered to pay attention to Yoda. Watch:

We now know the exact ‘types’ who easily fall for ‘wokeism’…

Well, it looks like Jordan Peterson has finally cracked the code on “wokeness.” Based on his research, we now have insight into the type of person who easily succumbs to this twisted and warped way of thinking.

The truth is, leftist tactics are pretty slick—they love to play word games. They throw around phrases like “Across state lines,” “My Body, My Choice,” and “No Human is Illegal” that all sound really good but are just verbal tricks designed to pull the wool over your eyes. These clever catchphrases easily snag folks who don’t dig deeper into what they’re actually hearing. See, the richer and more vast your vocabulary, the better you can sort through smokescreens and propaganda and recognize when words are being twisted to fool you. For example, slogans like “silence is violence” and “words are violence” try to stretch the meaning of actual “violence” to include just about anything, including what you say or don’t say. But here’s the thing: folks who really get the true meaning of words won’t fall for this trick. They know violence involves physical force, not just speaking up or keeping quiet. So, these catchphrases, which try to make everyday actions seem dangerous, just don’t stick with people who understand how language is being manipulated. But many do fall for it, and that’s why this obsession with reshaping language to suit their agenda is a common strategy on the left.

Wokeness breaks everything down into simple terms of good or bad—blacks = good, whites = bad; men = bad, women = good; and anything like patriarchy or racism = super duper bad. This simplicity only works for people who lack verbal smarts. These low-IQ, often criminal-minded people can only understand simple slogans and mental models, and the communist left is all too happy to supply them.

This leads to two additional problems. First, there’s confirmation bias, which is living in your own personal echo chamber. It means you ignore any facts or opinions that challenge your beliefs and only pay attention to those that support what you already think. Second, there’s a kind of fear, or cowardice, involved. It’s the fear of facing anything that might truly challenge or threaten your views. So, instead of confronting or considering different perspectives, people shut down and stick to their comfort zones.

Another trick the left uses to control the story is by throwing together confusing word salads. Take the gender confusion debate—it’s just a tangled mess of words that skirts around actual science and refuses to take any real responsibility. A person of modest intelligence simply doesn’t have the brainpower to discern that these word salads have no real meaning; they are easily bamboozled. The left-wing thought leaders are word artists who spin their words in the worst possible way, which ultimately hampers the ability of many of the simpler leftists to think clearly and critically.

America’s Dirtiest Beach Revealed – It’s A Shit Hole

America’s dirtiest beach revealed: Beautiful coast is making dozens sick due to river pumping in raw sewage in what’s been branded a ‘portable toilet’

California is home to three of the most polluted beaches in the country, according to a new report. 

The Surfrider Foundation tested thousands of water samples across the nation, with Imperial Beach in San Diego coming out as the worst. 

As part of the group’s survey, they also found that 64 percent of the 567 sites tested had at least one sample with unsafe bacteria levels. 

A quarter of the samples came from sites in California, with three beaches in The Golden State among the ten most polluted. 

Every sample recovered from Imperial Beach turned up bacteria counts that exceeded the state’s health standard for recreational waters. 

More than 100 billion gallons of untreated wastewater have flowed through Mexico ‘s Tijuana River and into the Pacific Ocean, eventually reaching the coastal town

American-born workers are getting killed in Biden’s economy

Native-born American workers are taking a beating in the job market from gains by foreign-born workers, according to the data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on Friday.

The number of foreign-born workers employed in the U.S. rose by 637,000 in the last year to nearly 30.9 million, while the number of employed native-born Americans has declined by 299,000, according to the BLS. As a consequence of foreign-born workers taking up job gains, the number of American-born workers with jobs is still below the number counted in July 2019.

Illegal immigration has surged under President Joe Biden following the administration’s relaxation of enforcement at the southern border, which has recently prompted the president to scramble to stem the flow by signing an executive order that he claims will limit the number of asylum seekers allowed in the country.

Another Woke Star Wars Show To Further Denigrate That Story

The setting is roughly 100 years before the events of “The Phantom Menace.” The Jedi Council is alive and well, training young Padawans and learning hard truths about some alum.

Namely, Osha (Amandla Stenberg), who in the show’s opening moments does a very bad thing. That’s all we can say thanks to the Emperor … we mean Disney’s legal team!

Star Wars continues down an unfortunate path of ruin and bad storytelling. The latest entry in this journey to the Dark Side is a new show called “The Acolyte.” The creators say it is the “gayest” yet. Matt Walsh has thoughts.

After recounting a series of rough financial numbers, Walsh says:

Disney, over the past eight months, has apparently decided to double down on agenda-driven content, to the point that they’re openly attacking their own fans. It’s a remarkable turn of events.

Faced with this brand collapse, Disney had two options. One option was to retool their content to focus on entertainment and family values instead of activism, which is what Disney used to do, when it was a universally beloved and much more financially successful company. They could get back to their roots. Not in the sense of churning out more remakes, but in the sense of being a company that makes wholesome family films that capture a sense of wonder and imagination.

The other option was to keep doing exactly what they’ve been doing, and continue to shove the same agenda — the equity/representation/LGBTQ approach — that they’ve been pushing for years now.

Eight months ago, Disney’s CEO, Bob Iger, publicly pledged to pursue the first option. He declared that Disney would refocus its efforts on entertainment, not political messaging. That was the plan, or at least the plan that was shared with the public. But that’s not what happened.

“The Acolyte” dispenses with any talk of Skywalkers, past or present. The focus is on the Jedi way of life, which it turns out is rather dull. So is the writing in the first three episodes. Showrunner Leslye Headland (co-creator, “Russian Doll”) has a sprawling canvas on which to create, but so far it’s a paint-by-numbers affair.

Disney+’s “Andor” delved into the geopolitical workings behind the saga. Everything in “The Acolyte,” at least from the jump, is surface-level deep.

Sometimes, it’s not even that.

“The Acolyte” moves at an agreeable pace, but there’s precious little “why” behind the narrative so far. Yay, diversity! Woo-hoo! Female characters aplenty! Bechdel Test … nailed! That feminist streak gets a workout. It’s also where Comic-Con nation may shriek the loudest.

Disney should be accustomed to that by now, but it least the sequences feel fresh to the franchise.

For a while.

That episode loses control mid-story. The ensuing plot pivots make little sense beyond getting to where the storytellers need us to go. To label it clunky is being kind.

“The Acolyte” could find its legs, eventually. The bigger threat looming over the story might be worth the wait, and the writing could mature with more time.

How many people will stick around to see is another question.

here and more, but didn’t anyone tell Disney about Bud Light and Target?

All the combined efforts of feminism and diversity and equity and wokeness have brought us to this point. But it’s bureaucracy and inertia that’s keeping it alive, long after everyone’s tired of it. That inertia is the reason why — whether you’re going to a restaurant or a movie theater — you’re now guaranteed a product that’s as mediocre as the people who created it.

This Is Rich, Clinton Calling Someone Else Hitler

Controversy erupted after former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton seemingly compared former President Donald Trump to Hitler on Twitter on the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

Clinton’s remarks on the 80th anniversary of D-Day, which compared the fight against Nazi Germany to voting against former President Donald Trump, have sparked controversy. Clinton used this historical milestone to emphasize the importance of voting in the context of protecting democracy. She equated the efforts of those who voted against Trump to the actions of the soldiers who participated in the Normandy landings, a pivotal event in World War II.

Companies Scaling Back The Pride Month Crap This Year

Because us, John Q Public are tired of them trying to cram this shit down our throats. We stopped buying their product and/or service as we vote with our dollars.

June 1 will mark the start of “Pride” month, in which advocates of LGBTQIA+ causes celebrate that movement. In recent years, June has seen major corporate chains feature an array of “Pride”-themed merchandise and decorations, though some offerings have prompted considerable backlash from a non-receptive — even hostile public — in recent years.

2023 saw major retailers such as Target become the subject of boycotts over more controversial products marketed for children. Other companies, such as Anheuser-Busch came under scrutiny over marketing campaigns that failed to resonate with their traditional clientele.

The adverse experiences of last June appear to have corporate boardrooms reevaluating some of their practices with respect to “Pride” month and the merchandise related to it. Here’s a look at some of the major disasters of 2023 and how brands plan to handle things in 2024.

Company outlooks

Industry analysts and executives in May suggested that the boycotts of last year and targeted campaigns from conservatives intended to push back against the pervasiveness of “Pride”-themed merchandise had evidently pushed companies to pursue a toned-down approach to “Pride” this year.

“Nobody in the media, marketing and advertising world wants to admit how heavy and hard this has been,” Pink Media President Matt Skallerud told USA Today. “Ever since Target and Bud Light had their fiascos last year, a tremendous number of brands have decided it would be much better to sit on the sidelines and let this sort itself out.”

Respondents weren’t very impressed with the result.

Princeton Finds Racial Bias At Facebook

A recent study by researchers from Princeton University and USC suggests that Meta’s algorithms for presenting educational ads exhibit signs of racial bias, particularly in the delivery of ads realated to for-profit universities and those with a history of predatory marketing practices.

The Register reports that the research paper, titled “Auditing for Racial Discrimination in the Delivery of Education Ads,” is set to be presented at the ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (ACM FAccT) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The authors, including researchers from Princeton and USC, found that Meta’s algorithms disproportionately show ads for for-profit colleges and universities with historically predatory practices to black users compared to ads for public universities.

This Is Not Going To Turn Out Well

Police in Cambridge, MA, will begin using social workers to respond to some 911 calls instead of actual cops. This is an idea that has been pushed by some on the left since ‘defunding the police’ became a thing. What could possibly go wrong?

Critics of this type of policy have pointed out that even when police are responding to a seemingly routine 911 call, they never know what they’re walking into. Someone at the scene could be armed, psychotic, or worse. the team will soon have a more high-stakes task: responding to 911 calls, sent to the scenes of nonviolent, mental health-related incidents handled at present by cops with guns.

It figures that the most liberal want to try this. Wait until they meet a drunk with a gun and a cheating wife. Good luck there.

I Want To Know Why The Celebrities Didn’t Leave When Trump Was Elected Also

Every time someone not communist or from the deep state wins, the celebtards all proclaim how they are leaving if (this time) Trump gets elected.

They are the most privileged and should be the most grateful, yet are the worst haters.

Especially Samuel L. Jackson who said he was going to take his black ass Africa if this MF gets elected, Trump got elected, and Jackson went no where. All talk, no action.

Actually, most people don’t care about the celebtards or even care where they live

Anyway, here goes….

In the heated atmosphere of the 2016 presidential election, several celebrities threatened to leave the United States if Donald Trump became president. Fast forward to today, and many of those same stars are still here, living their best lives. Here’s a look at some of the most prominent figures who didn’t follow through on their promises.

1. Miley Cyrus

The pop sensation Miley Cyrus made headlines with her passionate opposition to Trump. She even took to Instagram to declare she would leave the country if he won. Despite her strong words, Miley remains a fixture in the American entertainment scene.

2. Lena Dunham

How a Faith-Based Gold Company Is Changing the Way Americans Protect Their Retirement

Lena Dunham, the creator of the TV show Girls, was vocal about her disdain for Trump, promising to move to Canada if he became president. Dunham is still stateside, continuing her work in the entertainment industry and activism.

3. Whoopi Goldberg

The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg expressed her intent to leave the U.S. should Trump take office. Goldberg remains a staple on American television, offering her opinions on current events daily.

4. Amy Schumer

Comedian Amy Schumer was another celebrity who vowed to leave the country if Trump won. Schumer even specified Spain as her destination. Today, she is still in the U.S., performing and producing comedy specials.

5. Cher

The legendary singer Cher took to Twitter, stating she would move to Jupiter if Trump became president. While a move to the gas giant was clearly hyperbolic, Cher has also stayed in the U.S., continuing her illustrious career.

6. Samuel L. Jackson

Actor Samuel L. Jackson threatened to move to South Africa if Trump was elected. Jackson, known for his roles in countless blockbuster films, remains an active and influential figure in Hollywood.

7. Chelsea Handler

Comedian Chelsea Handler claimed she would move to Spain if Trump won. Although she has traveled extensively, Handler continues to live in the U.S., working on various projects and hosting TV shows.

8. Barbra Streisand

Iconic singer and actress Barbra Streisand said she would consider moving to Canada or Australia if Trump won. Streisand has stayed put, continuing to engage in political activism and entertainment.

9. Bryan Cranston

Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston declared he would move to Canada if Trump won. Cranston remains a prominent actor in Hollywood, never making the move north.

10. Neve Campbell

Actress Neve Campbell, known for her role in the Scream series, mentioned she might return to her native Canada if Trump won. Campbell, however, continues to live and work in the United States.

Despite their bold claims, these celebrities chose to remain in the country, continuing their careers and influencing American culture and politics. It seems the allure of the U.S. is too strong to leave behind.

As the 2024 election approaches, a new list of celebrities has emerged who have threatened to leave the country if Donald Trump is elected again. This list includes stars like Bruce Springsteen, George Clooney, and Barbara Streisand, who have all voiced their intentions to leave if Trump wins. We will see…

Washington Post Publisher To His Reporters; No One Is Reading Your Stuff Anymore

One can only take so much BS before you’ve had it. Even true blue liberals are tired of being wrong most of the time.

Anyway, another get woke, go broke.

Washington Post publisher and CEO William Lewis had a blunt message for his staff during a tense meeting following the sudden ouster of executive editor Sally Buzbee, according to the paper’s own reporting.

“We are going to turn this thing around, but let’s not sugarcoat it. It needs turning around,” Lewis told the paper. “We are losing large amounts of money. Your audience has halved in recent years. People are not reading your stuff. Right. I can’t sugarcoat it anymore.”

Axios reported:

Sally Buzbee steps down as Washington Post executive editor

How Bob Iger, DEI, and Wokism Broke Disney’s Trust with America

I grew up in Orlando, before Disney and while they built it. My friends in high school all worked there. It used to be for the family and wholesome fun. It’s now for woke, racists, feminists, trannies, homosexuals, pagans….so pretty much everything except straight white people.

Putting ideology ahead of entertainment has decimated an American institution. Walt Disney has been spinning in his grave ever since Bob Iger first became CEO back in 2005 during his first term. It continued during the short reign of Bob Chapek from 2020 to 2021, then accelerated at warp speed after Iger returned to the CEO role in 2022, post-COVID. The Walt Disney Company is broken, and until it gets new leadership at the top and refocuses on its core mission, to entertain, it is headed in only one direction: down. And that’s a shame for baby boomers like me who grew up with Walt Disney when our parents could trust the company to deliver wholesome entertainment not tainted by an agenda or ideology.

There is something of a subculture on YouTube of armchair analysts and commentators, WDW Pro, Valliant Renegade, and ClownfishTV, to name just three (beyond traditional financial websites like CNBC and Seeking Alpha), who track every cultural, corporate, programming, and financial move of The Walt Disney Company, previously one of America’s most iconic and trusted companies. Note: I used the past tense in describing The Walt Disney Company. It is no longer one of America’s most trusted brands, and it’s about to lose its iconic status.

How did this happen?

First It Was Eating Bugs, Now The WEF Wants To Ban Coffee – I Don’t Think So

Roughly 75% of Americans drink coffee every day.

That won’t be the case for long, apparently, if the elites at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, have their way.

Did anyone notice what they were talking about back in January during the 2024 World Economic Forum’s Davos get-together?

During a recent WEF panel discussion, a reporter for Moneywise, in an item posted on Yahoo! Finance, reported that one speaker, some banker named Hubert Keller, remarked, “The coffee that we all drink emits between 15 and 20 tons of CO2 per ton of coffee.” Ominously, he added, “so we should all know that.”

Keller also noted, “Every time we drink coffee, we are basically putting CO2 into the atmosphere.”

What’s more, the production of coffee additives such as sugar and milk also puts large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere.

While Keller didn’t overtly try to convince people to reduce or eschew their consumption of black gold, he must’ve had a reason for raising the topic.

In the aftermath of the pandemic, I now know that rulers and elites can, sadly, make regular folks believe — and do — just about anything.

They can tell them their job isn’t crucial. They can tell them they can’t go to the gym — and can’t, in fact, leave their homes. They can tell them they can’t go to a loved one’s wedding or a family member’s funeral.

And they will be obeyed. In the future, the elites might be able to coerce folks into owning nothing — and being happy about that fact. They might even be able to convince people to “eat ze bugs.”

But telling people to give up coffee will be a deal breaker, a bridge too far.

It’s not gonna happen.

2024 And They Still Discriminate Against The Un-Jabbed

North Carolina is trying to pass a law not to refuse life saving treatments because they haven’t taken the Covid-19 jab. A little late for this, don’t you think? I would expect this out of California, Oregon or the North East, but in flyover country?

Under the legislation, which is officially known as HB 586 in the House and SB 644 in the Senate, hospitals and transplant centers in North Carolina would be barred from denying life-saving transplants to patients based on their COVID “vaccination” status.

The bill is named for an unjabbed teenage girl named Yulia, who was adopted from Ukraine as an orphan by a U.S. Army family. Amid the COVID “pandemic” and the push for mRNA jab mandates, Yulia suffered kidney failure due to a genetic condition and was in life-or-death need of a kidney transplant.

She spent well over a year on dialysis, fighting for her life, but still, she was denied medical treatment by North Carolina’s Duke University Hospital, because she had not been “vaccinated” against COVID, even though taking the “vaccine,” which ranks as the deadliest in human history, could have put her life at an even greater risk.

Duke’s refusal to operate on Yulia nearly killed her, and it forced her family to absorb the massive medical and travel costs associated with seeking treatment elsewhere.

The Top 20 Lies of the 2020s

Lying is an epidemic even worse than COVID.

Our president and his press secretaries seem to lie with every word they say and deny facts that anyone with a pair of eyes can see for himself.

Scientists and doctors, formerly among the most trusted members of our society, lie to foster popular environmental theories and get government grants, or to promote Big Pharma and deter people from effective treatments.

Our news media no longer report the news; they shape the news as instructed.

Here is just a sample of commonly promoted lies starting in 2020.

Covid has a 4% death rate.

Masks will keep us safe from COVID.

COVID vaccines are safe and effective.

Oil and natural gas are going to destroy the planet.

Electric cars are going to save the environment.

Electric cars are safe.

Our justice system is fair for all.

Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation.

Trump stole classified documents.

Boys should compete in girls’ sports.

Men can have babies.

Search engines give honest results.

Protecting Ukraine’s borders is in the interest of the United States.

Our borders are safe and secure.

Israel is guilty of war crimes.

Inflation is under control.

The 2020 Election was the safest and most secure in history.

Contaminating And Ruining The Nations Blood Supply

I’ve donated over 5 gallons until I wasn’t eligible anymore. I don’t even want blood from someone who got jabbed. Along with the HIV, you can keep the Spike Protein also.

After letters to my senators and an American Thinker article, Why is the FDA Contaminating America’s Blood Supply? it is the United Kingdom that finally comes clean:

Britain’s ‘day of shame’ as full scale of infected blood scandal revealed

‘The result of this inquiry should shake our nation to its core.  This should have been avoided.  It was known these treatments were contaminated; warnings were ignored repeatedly.

‘Time and again people in positions of power and trust had the chance to stop the transmission of those infections. Time and again they failed to do so.’

Patients “died or suffered miserably” as a result of being given contaminated blood products between 1970 and 1998 because medics and successive governments “did not put patient safety first.”  When the scandal was exposed, “the response of those in authority served to compound people’s suffering.”

You see, the UK has their very own “deep state.”

How did this happen?

Medicines for hemophiliacs, including one called Factor VIII, were imported from the US in the 1970s and 1980s [emphasis added] and prescribed by the NHS. However, the treatments were made from blood plasma donations which often came from groups at high risk for HIV and hepatitis C such as gay men, sex workers and prisoners and were often contaminated.

Twelve Reasons Why I Don’t Believe There’s a Climate Emergency

  1. Looking back through history, there have always been doomsday prophets, folk who say the world is coming to an end. Are modern-day activists not just the current version of this?
  2. I look at some of the facts – CO2 is 0.04% of the atmosphere; humans are responsible for just 3% of CO2; Britain is responsible for just 1% of the world’s CO2 output – and I think “really“? Will us de-carbonising really make a difference to the Earth’s climate?
  3. I have listened to some top scientists who say CO2 does not drive global warming; that CO2 in the atmosphere is a good or vital thing; that many other things, like the Sun and the clouds and the oceans, are more responsible for the Earth’s temperature.
  4. I note that most of the loudest climate activists are socialists and on the Left. Are they not just using this movement to push their dreams of a deindustrialised socialist utopia? And I also note the crossover between green activists and BLM ones, gender ones, pro-Hamas ones, none of whom I like or agree with.
  5. As an amateur psychologist, I know that humans are susceptible to manias. I also know that humans tend to focus on tiny slivers of time and on tiny slivers of geographical place when forming ideas and opinions. We are also extremely malleable and easily fooled, as was demonstrated in 2020 and 2021.
  6. I have looked into the implications of Net Zero. It is incredibly expensive. It will vastly reduce living standards and hinder economic growth. I don’t think that’s a good thing. I know that economic growth has led to higher living standards, which has made people both safer and more environmentally aware.
  7. Net Zero will also lead to significant diminishment of personal freedom, and it even threatens democracy, as people are told they must do certain things and they must not do other things, and they may even be restricted in speaking out on climate matters.
  8. What will be the worst things that will happen if the doomsayers are correct? A rise in temperature? Where? Siberia? Singapore? Stockholm? What is the ideal temperature? For how long? Will this utopia be forever maintained? I’m suspicious of utopias; the communists sought utopias.
  9. If one consequence of climate change is rising sea levels, would it not be better to spend money building more sea defences to protect our land? Like the Dutch did.
  10. It’s a narrative heavily pushed by the Guardian. I dislike the Guardian. I believe it’s been wrong on most issues through my life – socialism, immigration, race, the EU, gender, lockdowns and so on. Probably it’s wrong about climate issues too?
  11. I am suspicious of the amount of money that green activists and subsidised green industries make. And 40 years ago the greenies were saying the Earth was going to get too cold. Much of what they said would happen by now has not happened. Also, I trust ‘experts’ much less now, after they lied about the efficacy of lockdowns, masks and the ‘vaccines’.
  12. I like sunshine. I prefer being warm to being cold. It makes me feel better. It’s more fun. It saves on heating bills. It saves on clothes. It makes people happier. Far few people die of the heat than they do the cold.

Another Jet Plunges In Mid Flight, 8 Hurt

Remember when flying was the safest form of travel? Then came woke and DEI. I bailed on traveling this week because I hate the planes, the travel experience and their safety track record.

Twelve passengers and crew were injured on a Qatar Airways flight after a packed Boeing passenger jet plunged mid-flight.

Eight passengers aboard a commercial Boeing Dreamliner jet required hospital treatment upon landing in Ireland on Sunday.

The aircraft had reportedly suffered turbulence en route from Qatar, according to official statements.

“Qatar Airways can confirm that flight QR017 a Boeing B787-9 from Doha to Dublin has landed safely,” Qatar Airways stated in a post on X.

“A small number of passengers and crew sustained minor injuries in flight and are now receiving medical attention.”

The jet was on its way from Doha to Dublin when it began shaking as it flew over Turkey.

Airport authorities confirmed that the jetliner landed on schedule just before 1:00 p.m. at Dublin Airport.

“Upon landing, the aircraft was met by emergency services, including Airport Police and our Fire and Rescue department, due to 6 passengers and 6 crew [12 total] on board reporting injuries after the aircraft experienced turbulence while airborne over Turkey,” they said in a statement.

What A Surprise, Anti-Israel Protests Are Overwhelmingly An Elite College Problem

Once again, the privileged and their urchins are thinking they rule the world. Someone needs to teach them about real life.

The anti-Israel, anti-American, anti-western, anti-capitalist, pro-Hamas, ‘by any means necessary’ campus protests and Tentifadas are not a working class movement.

But you knew that, because we have covered dozens of these protests and even casual observations reflect that, with some exceptions, this is a movement of elite kids at elite schools. Those casual observations are substantiated by a deep analysis by the lefty Washington Monthly (WM).

Nate Silver comments on the WM analysis:

“Of course the stereotype was that these protests were concentrated at expensive elite colleges but I didn’t realize the rather extreme extent to which that’s actually true.”

From the Washington Monthly analysis, Are Gaza Protests Happening Mostly at Elite Colleges?

We at the Washington Monthly tried to get to the bottom of this question: Have pro-Palestinian protests taken place disproportionately at elite colleges, where few students come from lower-income families?

The answer is a resounding yes.

Using data from Harvard’s Crowd Counting Consortium and news reports of encampments, we matched information on every institution of higher education that has had pro-Palestinian protest activity (starting when the war broke out in October until early May) to the colleges in our 2023 college rankings. Of the 1,421 public and private nonprofit colleges that we ranked, 318 have had protests and 123 have had encampments.

By matching that data to percentages of students at each campus who receive Pell Grants (which are awarded to students from moderate- and low-income families), we came to an unsurprising conclusion: Pro-Palestinian protests have been rare at colleges with high percentages of Pell students. Encampments at such colleges have been rarer still. A few outliers exist, such as Cal State Los Angeles, the City College of New York, and Rutgers University–Newark. But in the vast majority of cases, campuses that educate students mostly from working-class backgrounds have not had any protest activity. For example, at the 78 historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) on the Monthly’s list, 64 percent of the students, on average, receive Pell Grants. Yet according to our data, none of those institutions have had encampments and only nine have had protests, a significantly lower rate than non-HBCU schools.

Who Is The Most Awful Political Group?

It figures. I guarantee they have cats too.

For over a year, on my radio show, I have been talking about rich, urban, secular, liberal white women who now control so much of the Democratic Party. They demand a certain kind of racial justice, influenced by white women like Robin DiAngelo, who, as a white woman, writes about social justice and race.

It is not a surprise that the white woman is the last man standing after Black Lives Matter and Ibrim Kendi have fallen into disrepute as grifters, and Nicole Hannah Jones has fallen into fabulism. Rich, urban, secular, liberal white women get to read one of their own about race without engaging non-white authors. When they do engage non-white authors, they engage in hand-selected non-white authors approved by white people.

After all, Nicole Hannah Jones and Ibrim Kendi would never have risen without the blessings of the secular white elite. They absolve the secular white elite of their white guilt by casting their struggle in terms of allyship versus the white nationalists, who are not considered allies. They inhabit a world at home in Tom Wolfe’s Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers.

On an email list, a participant voiced his favorite acronym, which I think should go mainstream: AWFULs.

That would be Affluent White Female Urban Liberals.

These AWFULs are shaping so much of our public policy in ways actually detrimental to the very people they claim they want to help. They are pushing crack pipes for the addicts; electric vehicles for the poor; and defunding the police on crime-ridden streets.

The offspring of the AWFULS, surely pronounced as offals, are the trust fund kids who made it down to Atlanta to protest a police training facility and firebomb the offices of the building contractors.

The AWFULs are fine with boys in girls’ sports because they either abort their girls or don’t have to worry about their girls’ scholarships. They can afford to write the checks for the colleges without a sports scholarship.

Former NIH Director Admits No Science Behind Social Distancing

Of Course there wasn’t. It was about pushing people to see how long they would act like sheep.

(Matthew Doarnberger, Headline USA) A transcript released last week by the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic revealed that scientific evidence was not behind the 6 feet of “social distancing” guideline that was issued by the National Institutes of Health during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Subcommittee chairman Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, released the transcript from the testimony of former NIH Director Francis Collins in which GOP lawmakers grilled him over whether there was a scientific basis to support the policy, which forced many businesses and other public facilities to make major accommodations in order to remain open.

Majority Counsel: “Do you recall science or evidence that supported the six-feet distance?”

Dr. Collins: “I do not.”

Majority Counsel: “Is that I do not recall or I do not see any evidence supporting six feet?”

Dr. Collins: “I did not see evidence, but I’m not sure I would have been shown evidence at that point.”

Majority Counsel: “Since then, it has been an awfully large topic. Have you seen any evidence since then supporting six feet?”

Dr. Collins: “No.”

Covid-19 – What The Doctors Wished You’d Known

An Increasing Number of Doctors and Scientists Say Americans Deserve to Know the Truth About the Covid “Vaccines”

Not a shred of scientific support for what happened.

This week, I want to highlight another amazing medical scholar: Dr. Martin (Marty) Makary, a British-American professor at John Hopkins School of Medicine, as well as a surgeon and award-winning author. His upcoming new book, “Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong and What It Means for Our Health,” is a must-read for anyone looking to understand medical truth, biases and whitewashed scientific data.

One recent example of Dr. Makary’s whistleblowing was published in the New York Post, “The Real Data Behind the New COVID Vaccines the White House is Pushing.”

In it, professor Makary asks: “What if I told you one in 50 people who took a new medication had a ‘medically attended adverse event’ and the manufacturer refused to disclose what exactly the complication was – would you take it?

“And what if the theoretical benefit was only transient, lasting about three months, after which your susceptibility goes back to baseline?

“And what if we told you the Food and Drug Administration cleared it without any human-outcomes data and European regulators are not universally recommending it as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is?

“That’s what we know about the new COVID vaccine the Biden administration is firmly recommending for every American 6 months old and up.”

Dr. Makary goes on to say, “The push is so hard that former White House COVID coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha and CDC head Mandy Cohen are making unsupported claims the new vaccine reduces hospitalizations, long COVID and the likelihood you will spread COVID.”

But then Makary’s conclusion to those White House claims is the coup de grace: “None of those claims has a shred of scientific support. … The public has a right to know.”

After cheerleading for the jab, even the liberal New York Times had to confess in its investigation on COVID vaccine side effects: “Federal surveillance has found some side effects but may miss others,” and “Understanding the full range of side effects may take years.”

The Times confessed a few distressing side effects:

  • blood-clotting problems associated with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and a potential risk of stroke after mRNA immunizations;
  • myocarditis is such a problem among young men that “More intensive analysis may indicate that in some groups, like young men, the benefit of Covid shots may no longer outweigh the risks.”

The Times expounded: “Federal health officials acknowledge four major side effects of Covid vaccines – not including the temporary injection site pain, fever and malaise that may accompany the shots.

“But in federal databases, thousands of Americans have reported that Covid vaccines caused ringing in the ears, dizziness, brain fog, sharp fluctuations in blood pressure and heart rate, new or relapsed autoimmune conditions, hives, vision problems, kidney disorders, tingling, numbness and a loss of motor skills.”

Lessons From Covid Totalitarianism

The COVID police state revealed Western governments’ zeal for totalitarianism.  Forced masking, forced experimental injections, forced school and business closures, forced isolation, and forced compliance provided Western citizens an opportunity to see the tyrannical inclinations hiding just beneath the surface of their supposedly beneficent “democracies.”

None of it was pretty.  Mass propaganda disguised as medical expertise (remember when Joe Biden and his CDC army of Goebbels clones demanded that we wear three or more masks outside?) and mass censorship of social media conversations (because, we were frequently told, disinformation kills!) proved that — when push comes to shove — Western governments will quickly dispense with protections for free speech.  Wannabe dictators (intent on protecting “democracy” by being authoritarian) embraced their true “Do as we say!” dispositions and branded the public’s rights and liberties as “enemies of the State.”

It should also be noted that while many of governments’ most egregious abuses against citizens are now treated as if they never happened (e.g., it is all the rage these days for politicians and medical professionals to claim that nobody was ever forced to take the experimental clot shots), there are still ample reminders of the West’s foray into COVID totalitarianism.  The world’s largest social media companies (which have all been exposed as surveillance systems and propaganda platforms that variously do the bidding of China, the European Union, or the United States) continue to censor scientific debate regarding the origin of the virus (shocker: it leaked — intentionally or not — from a Chinese lab conducting biological weapons research bankrolled, in part, by the U.S. government), the efficacy of the so-called “vaccines,” and growing evidence that these experimental injections cause a large number of harmful (if not outright deadly) side effects.

Stupid Global Warming Tricks, Who Had Cow Farts On Their Bingo Card?

Vaccines against cow farts. Throwing money away instead of focusing on the real causes of climate activity other than blaming fake gasses and insignificant human behavior as the answer for everything.

The last time I wrote about cow farts, it was a warning that the Environmental Protection Agency was likely to use methane emissions as an excuse to target our livestock herds in the globalist War on Meat.

Of course, I am frequently covering the topic of vaccines.

Today, I have a chance to blend two of my favorite topics into one post. A start-up company has raised over $26 million to produce a vaccine to reduce methane emissions from cattle.

ArkeaBio’s vaccine will provide an innovative, cost-effective, and scalable solution to reduce the world’s livestock methane emissions, which currently generate the equivalent of 3 Billion Tonnes of CO2 annually and represent 6% of annual Greenhouse gas emissions. “Reducing methane emissions from the agricultural sector is one of the most pressing challenges in today’s fight against climate change,” said Chris Rivest, Chairman of the Board at ArkeaBio and partner at Breakthrough Energy Ventures.

“ArkeaBio’s approach using innovative vaccine technologies will create effective and massively scalable solutions to reduce on-farm methane emissions, leaving them well-positioned to redefine the agricultural landscape in the years to come.”

One of the firms investing is Breakthrough Energy Ventures, which was founded by Bill Gates in 2015. It pitched in $12 million.

Sweden Ruined By Immigration, And Woke

Bet Mark Steyn has come to really hate being proved right all the time.

I may not know much, but I know Malmö – although eighteen years ago one of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s many in-house lefties, Jill Singer, accused me of exaggerating the city’s transformation. I offered to fly the late Ms Singer and an ABC crew to Sweden so that she could accompany me on what, by 2006, had already become my annual ritual in Malmö. The eminent presenter declined, being more concerned, fulminating-theocrat-wise, by George W Bush, on the grounds that “a faith-based US President …scares the bejesus out of me”. So, as in previous years, I walked my walk alone:

After that conference with Lars in Copenhagen a couple of years ago, I took the train over the water to Malmö in Sweden. Malmö was one of the first Christian cities in what was then Denmark. It’s now on course to become the first Muslim city in Sweden. I sat and had a coffee in a nice little place in a beautiful medieval square in the heart of town. Aside from a few modernist excrescences, it would not have looked so different in the early days of the Lutheran church. I got lucky, and fell into conversation with a couple of cute Swedish blondes. Fine-looking ladies. I shall miss Scandinavian blondes when they’re extinct. At dusk, and against their advice, I took a 20-minute walk to Rosengård. As you stroll the sidewalk, the gaps between blondes grow longer, and the gaps between young bearded Muslim men grow shorter. And then eventually you’re in the housing projects, and all the young boys kicking a soccer ball around are Muslim, and every single woman is covered – including many who came from “moderate” Muslim countries and did not adopt the headscarf or hijab until they emigrated to Sweden, where it’s compulsory, at least in Rosengård.

Do you remember the rationalization Israel used at the Oslo Accords? “Land for peace”? In Sweden, which is about as far as you can get from Gaza and the West Bank, they’re also trading land for peace, and as in Gaza unlikely to wind up with either. The Jews are already fleeing Malmö: Soon it will be like Tangiers or Baghdad or any other Arab town with a weed-strewn, decaying “old Jewish cemetery” and no one left to tend it. But it’s not just the Jewish graveyard that’s destined to be abandoned, but the Lutheran ones, too.

I would urge anyone to do that twilight walk from downtown Malmö to Rosengård, as the blondes thin and the bearded men multiply. That’s Europe’s future walking toward you.

For around a decade-and-a-half it was a more-or-less scientific experiment. Until the Covid clobbered my jetsetting, each year I would mark the precise point at which the last blonde was glimpsed and the beards took over – and each year that point advanced just a little more towards the centre of Malmö. By 2008 (which is a long time ago now: Greta Thunberg was in kindergarten) the “foreign-born” population of Rosengård was already 86 per cent. Sixty per cent had not completed elementary school.

How’s that working out? Sweden is not to everyone’s tastes, but it was, until recently, a peaceful and well-ordered society. Today, in a wholly transformed land where you can be shot dead in the crossfire at a pub and the courts say child gang-rape does not count as a serious crime, you might think that the ire of ethnic Swedes would be directed other than toward Jews. But in 2016 in Östersund I talked to a young lady whose daughter and her friends had been sexually assaulted in the municipal swimming baths by “migrants”. The staff who witnessed it sized up the cocksure young lads, swimming in the pool (in defiance of regulations) in their urine-stained and malodorous underwear, and declined to attempt their removal.

“There must have been other men there,” I said. “Didn’t they do anything?”

My friend laughed. “Swedish men are manginas,” she said – a portmanteau of “man” and “vagina” with which I was not hitherto familiar.

It is the logic of arithmetic: Follow the science, as Greta’s climate chums say. A keffiyeh is a little light accessorising; the full body bag will come later. So I’ll repeat my observation from almost two decades back: The Swedes are also trading land for peace, and will wind up with neither. A society that has nothing to die for has nothing to live for, and thus the last Europeans rush to embrace those who will supplant them.

This is what you get when you put in weak leaders.

I have friends in Malmö who tell me it is a war zone. They teach the kids to jump in the bushes to get away from sexual predators (Muslims) instead of stop, drop and roll.

When they went woke and let everyone in, it was beginning of the destruction of a very pretty country. It was nice to visit, now not so much.

Let that be a lesson to America about immigration, especially illegal. Those leeches are in Sweden for the free money the socialist system gives them. They return the favor by raping the women and blowing stuff up. Their murder rate is skyrocketing.

Jewish Students Blame DEI For The Protests

Jewish Students Blame DEI for Anti-Israel Protests That are Wasting Tuition Dollars

This is correct. DEI policies have created the environment for this madness to grow.

FOX News reports:

Jewish students across the US blame DEI, faculty for anti-Israel protests: ‘Wasting my tuition dollars’

Jewish students across the United States have expressed concern for their safety and suggested school faculty, as well as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, are promoting antisemitic viewpoints that ratchet up the political temperature on campus.

George Washington University student Sabrina Soffer, graduating early as a junior in December, told Fox News Digital that there is no balance of opinions among the faculty. While the school has emphasized diversity, Soffer claimed it is only diversity surrounding a singular idea.

“Students are not learning how to think, but they’re learning about what to think,” she said. “There’s no real academic rigor that surrounds learning how to think. So, they’re just getting pushed to get a grade.”

Soffer said that students spend a significant amount of time being fed “propaganda” on social media, which affirms the notions they are learning in class and keeps them isolated in their own “echo chamber.”

She added that this conduct by faculty and students, in addition to the widespread acceptance of DEI, has turned George Washington into a “concerning” and “dangerous” environment.

“There’s also no respect for American values in terms of, you know, there’s a lot of anti-Western seedlings in the DEI idea as a whole. Binary notions, very false notion of the oppressor and the oppressed, where all White people are oppressors,” Soffer said. “And, you know, Jews just don’t fit into that framework at all. So, they’re pinning, you know, false binary notions on entire societies when they don’t even make any sense.”

Amanda Silberstein, a second-year student at Cornell University, also criticized the actions of faculty and said the ongoing sentiments about Israel and Jews have left her “ostracized and “socially isolated” from classmates.

I imagine a lot of those Jewish families come from a lot of money. Never forget that DEI ruins everything it touches, as does woke. They got the double dose with this anti-antisemitism hate for Israel.

We’ll see or another Get woke, go broke

Good Luck Getting A Job, Better Hope Pop Owns A Company

The amount of red flags this person brings to the table spells toxic in any language. No way would any HR person worth their salt touch her with a 10 foot pole.

A Columbia University student wearing zip-tie handcuffs tore up her diploma on stage Sunday as an act of defiance following recent concerns about anti-Israel demonstrations on campus.

In a livestream video of Columbia’s School of Social Work commencement ceremony, a female graduate marched on stage with her arms above her head and wrists bound together by a plastic zip-tie.

In The Climate Shell Game Money Grab, But For $13 Trillion

The audacity of this guy is endless. They are pretty much saying they are going to waste the cash and solve nothing other than lining their pockets with taxpayers money.

Squeezing the global economy dry to solve a fake problem.

The $13.6 trillion question: how do we pay for the green transition?

The public sector will have to provide about 30 per cent of climate finance globally, and the heat is building on governments to come up with ways of doing that.

…

The bill will be immense. If average global temperature rises are to be limited in line with the 2015 Paris Agreement, climate finance globally will need to increase to about $US9 trillion ($13.6 trillion) a year globally by 2030, up from just under $US1.3 trillion in 2021-22, according to a report last year from the Climate Policy Initiative.

…

Former US presidential candidate John Kerry, who stepped down from his role as the US special climate envoy in March, puts the challenge of meeting this bluntly: “We don’t have the money.”

The 80-year-old is now planning to turn his attention to climate finance to prepare for the phaseout of fossil fuels. “We have to put in place more rapidly the funding mechanisms that are going to actually fuel this transition at the pace it needs to be,” he says.

To do that, governments around the world are weighing up options from wealth taxes to levies on shipping. The US is planning to fund the IRA by raising $US300 billion over the decade by requiring large corporations to pay a 15 per cent minimum tax on their profits, as well as through a stock buyback tax, among other measures.

The Most Dangerous People in America: College Professors

American college campuses are permeated with corrupted professors who themselves corrupt students. Without a doubt, college professors are the most dangerous people in America.

They’re not dangerous because they challenge the status quo or encourage their students to think critically. On the contrary, they are dangerous because they encourage impressionable young college students to adhere to the doctrines of the professors they choose without giving them the chance to meaningfully challenge those doctrines.

During the recent pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas protests on elite college campuses, thousands of students put up tents on private property, commandeered university-owned buildings, defaced private property, and chanted disturbing, antisemitic rhetoric. But while we constantly talk about the actions of the students, we fail to recognize that these students aren’t alone but instead are educated and cheered on by their college professors.

At Columbia University, many of the university’s professors joined the protests, donning orange reflective vests and standing alongside students in protest of Israel and—apparently—in support of the students’ right to free speech. Of course, these professors, like their students, are not constitutional scholars, yet they teach their students that what they’re doing is protected.

The First Amendment does not protect the right to vandalize or trespass on private property, which is what these students were doing, or even make terroristic threats or aid a terrorist organization, which arguably many of these students did. The very idea that there were professors aiding the students in their illegal takeover of the university should sound alarm bells.

They are poisoning the mush heads they are teaching and getting them to believe in and act on wrong assumptions and positions.

There It Is – Employers more skeptical of hiring Ivy League grads

It specifically says Ivy League schools. It also says that they are more likely to hire from public Universities.

So all of that money gone to waste. An Ivy League degree was a virtual hall pass to a job. They managed to screw that up by being assholes and Jew Haters. Compound that with DEI and you get a toxic graduate.

Those of us in the working world knew that the Ivy Leaguers were losers and not that smart. We had to work around them, but now they will have a hard time getting a foot in the door.

Results follow reports of grade inflation, plagiarism, antisemitism, and more

An Ivy League diploma is losing its worth in many employers’ eyes.

A recent Forbes survey found employers have grown more skeptical of applicants from the most prestigious schools in the U.S. in the past five years – a period marked by race-based admissions, grade inflation, antisemitism, plagiarism, and leadership “double standards.”

According to the survey, one in three employers said they are less likely to hire an Ivy League graduate than they were five years ago. Meanwhile, only 7 percent said they were more likely to hire them.

Employers’ hesitation was specific to the Ivy Leagues, too.

The survey found 42 percent of hiring managers are more likely to hire public university graduates and 37 percent private university graduates, compared to five years ago.

What’s more, hiring managers were three times as likely to say public universities have improved in preparing students for jobs than Ivy League universities.

Asshole Students At Duke Walk Out On Jerry Seinfeld Commencement, Organizing Suspect Revealed

One of the most decent guys in the world got the Anti-Jewish Hate treatment from some snotty elitist little commies.

Jerry Seinfeld is by no means the most political or controversial actor/comedian out there, but when he took the stage at Duke University’s commencement ceremony, it ultimately caused a chorus of “boos” and pro-Palestinian chants, as well as a walkout by students.

Seinfeld, who is Jewish, is the parent of two Duke students and an active supporter of the university. He has been vocal in his support for Israel following the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel on October 7. His wife also funded a pro-Israel protest at UCLA last week. When Seinfeld was announced as this year’s commencement speaker, some students expressed opposition to his appearance over his support of Israel, and warned that there would be a display of opposition at the commencement ceremony.

Here’s the suspect (from the Bee, so tongue in cheek here):

Companies should identify these kids and not hire them. Parents should be ashamed for their students conduct and for sending them to Duke and for being on the side of wrong and hate.

Princeton Anti-Israel Hunger Strike At Day 8 With No Apparent Exit Strategy

Let them starve. They are a bunch of silver spoon in the mouth mush for brain commie elitist Jew haters in training. The whole country is sick of their whining for the side of evil.

When we first checked in on the ‘Hunger Strike for Palestine’ at Princeton University this week, the strikers were upset that no one at the school was monitoring their health.

Now they seem angry that they’re being ignored. Worse still, they don’t seem to have any identifiable exit strategy.

From the progressive site Democracy Now:

“We Feel Unheard”: Hunger-Striking Princeton Students Vow to Fast Until Divestment Demands Are Met

Over a dozen students at Princeton University have been on hunger strike for the past week as part of a Gaza solidarity encampment on campus protesting Israel’s war on Gaza and calling on the university to disclose and divest from companies with ties to Israel, among other demands. The hunger strikers are also calling for all charges to be dropped against a number of students arrested on campus in late April as part of the encampment.

Areeq Hasan, a graduating senior at Princeton who has not eaten for a week, tells Democracy Now! the hunger strike was a response to the university’s stonewalling. “We feel unheard at every step of the way, so therefore we resorted to a hunger strike,” says Hasan, noting the long history of hunger strikes as a means of protest. “It is in solidarity with the history of Palestinian political prisoners since 1968. … We’re tapping into this long-standing tradition with both Palestinian political prisoners and also in the Irish and Indian liberation movements.”

They want so badly to be taken seriously.

The Insane Flip-Flops Over Vaccines, Masks And Ivermectin

This week AstraZeneca recalled its COVID-19 vaccine after admitting that it caused a ‘rare but serious’ clotting.

Then we find that former CNN host Chris Cuomo has been taking Ivermectin, after mocking people for taking ‘dewoming medication,’ leading one to wonder how many dead Americans were dissuaded from taking it during the pandemic.

And in the fullness of time, we’ve learned that vaccine maker Moderna employed a former FBI analyst to secretly police ‘vaccine misinformation,’ while the Biden White House directed virtually every social media platform to censor those questioning vaccinations. Hell, the NY Times suggested ZeroHedge was spreading misinformation for suggesting, in December of 2020, that vaccine cards would be used to track people and limit their freedom.

And now people like former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) are playing the whole thing off like he wasn’t a complete iron-fisted authoritarian during the pandemic – suggesting that masks were optional.

Or Deborah Birx, who admitted she and Dr. Anthony Fauci pulled all sorts of pandemic-era lockdown protocols out of their asses, and has now remade herself into some sort of vaccine freedom advocate.

Another Boeing Jet Goes Down

Another one.

A Boeing 737-300 aircraft suffered a significant accident during an attempted takeoff at Senegal’s Blaise Diagne International Airport early Thursday, causing serious injuries.

Air Senegal flight HC301, operated by Transair, failed to ascend and “overran the runway” around 1:14 a.m., according to a statement released by Senegal’s Ministry of Infrastructure, Land and Air Transport. The flight had been bound for Bamako, Mali, per BBC.

Of the 78 people on board, which included two pilots and four cabin crew members, eleven suffered injuries, the Senegalese military reported. Four of these passengers are in serious condition.

Videos circulating online show the aircraft with serial number 6V-AJE lying on a grassy bank, with visible damage to its left engine.

Cornell: Another Woke Leader Bites The Dust

Cornell President Martha Pollack Resigning

“Martha Pollack was the architect of Cornell’s disastrous race-focused DEI initiative that balkanized the campus, and inevitably led to targeting of Jewish and pro-Israel students. While I wish her well in her personal life, it is time for the Cornell Trustees to turn the ship around, to eliminate DEI programming as is taking place elsewhere, and to refocus the campus on the inherent dignity of each individual without regard to group-identity.”

… The campus has become balkanized by an aggressive focus on racial, ethnic, religious, gender, and other identities through an “anti-racist” and “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” agenda imposed on the campus by the senior administration. The “anti-racism” initiative was launched in the summer of 2020, and has included or is moving towards mandatory training, education, and programming that forces everyone to view their lives and relationships through their identities.

Almost everything now is viewed through an identity lens, pitting groups against each other, pitting colleagues against one another, and pitting students against their peers. There is substantial evidence that such DEI programming makes race and other relations worse, not better. We are seeing that play out in real time in the Cornell community.

This has led to an unhealthy environment at Cornell in which multiple surveys show that high percentages of students are afraid to express their viewpoints. DEI as practiced at Cornell is damaging to freedom of expression, and makes the current year of free expression theme on campus inconsequential, if not nearly satirical.

FAFO again, woke and DEI ruin everything it touches.

Hunger Strike At Princeton? Let ’em Starve

They won’t last more than a couple of days. They don’t know what it’s like to really go without comfort and convenience and I doubt they believe in the cause that much anyway. It’s just posing for Social Media.

Student protesters at Princeton University who have embarked upon a hunger strike for Palestine are angry that the school is not obeying their demands that the school is not monitoring their health, and even claim that the school is forcing them to do this.

In short, it’s a total clown show.

The College Fix reports:

Princeton anti-Israel hunger strikers: University ‘forced’ us to do this

Seventeen Princeton students began a hunger strike last Friday until the university agreed to meet with them to discuss divestment from Israel and the dropping of charges against students who had occupied a campus building.

According to The Daily Princetonian, student Sameer Riaz said he believed he and his comrades “were forced into” their hunger strike by school officials.

Areeq Hasan, another hunger striker, said all those participating are “very well-supported” — unlike “political prisoners who are in Palestine.”

Woke Jedi? The Star Wars Geeks Are Not Going To Go For This

You’d think that Disney would learn from their mistakes (or at least Bud Light) but no…this.

Disney+ is taking more flak for crowbarring a them/them character into its latest Star Wars series.

The animated show Tales of the Empire, is made up of six shorts, with one of the episodes featuring a non-binary Jedi.

In a scene below, the they/them agrees to surrender to an Inquisitor, a character that hunts Jedi, just as another Inquisitor sneaks up from behind and attempts to kill the they/them.

You’d be forgiven for having missed it, given that there are so many crapped out Star Wars things now, that only someone with no social life at all can keep up with them.

Glad I Don’t Work There Anymore – Man Sues IBM Company After They Allegedly Fired Him For Being Too White

It was already starting at IBM when I retired. We were barely able to move without bumping into diversity. This bled over to the gender thing as I watched a lot of highly competent and more qualified men get passed over to meet quotas. That of course gave IBM the John Akers female counterpart, Ginni Rommety. That failure ended once the stock price fell by half. I sold before that, but a lot of executives had golden handcuffs in the form of stock options.

When IBM bought Red Hat, the hate white men directive took over in the form of DEI. Since that has failed everywhere else, it portends the same result here. It was already pervasive at Red Hat and it fully infected IBM.

All of the good people are now working somewhere else when I look at LinkedIn. Maybe they are the smart ones and got out.

Racism is discrimination against skin color. White is a skin color. You can’t pick and choose with the truth.

My friends told me the hell that it has become inside, and now this story:

America First Legal (AFL) announced Wednesday that they were suing Red Hat, a subsidiary of IBM, for allegedly violating civil rights laws by enacting racially discriminatory DEI policies, an AFL press statement read.

AFL maintains that their client, Allan Kingsley Wood, was a Senior Director at Red Hat from 2015 to 2023 who had terrific reviews and was “on a fast track to becoming an executive,” according to the lawsuit. He was then allegedly subject to discriminatory treatment and terminated by these illicit policies. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Air Force Slapped With Lawsuit After Claiming It Has No Records On Officer Diversity Quotas)

Wood, a white male, was a vocal critic of the company’s policies that sought to mandate workforce quotas based on race and gender, the press release observes. The lawsuit recalls an event in Texas where the company allegedly rolled out its “Bold DEI Goals” that wanted their workforce to be 30 percent female worldwide and 30 percent “associates of color in the United States by 2028.” Wood, prior to his termination, “never received a negative review, was highly lauded, had a stellar record” and was on a leadership path, the lawsuit claims.

Yet, even when he was employed by Red Hat he received discriminatory treatment, AFL alleges in the lawsuit. Wood sought and received approval for leave under Family Medical Leave Act on July 24, 2023 to tend to his wife who had taken ill, the lawsuit recalls. Red Hat, however, allegedly terminated this leave four days later even though Wood was entitled to 3 month leave in order “to proceed with his termination,” AFL alleges in the lawsuit.  During this time, Wood’s medical coverage was allegedly suspended and he was forced to pay out of pocket to renew it.

The IBM’s annual 2022 report allegedly emphasized that there existed a “a diversity modifier” whereby their executives are measured for their ability to implement DEI across the world and that “[i]n the U.S., executives are also measured on improvement of diversity and inclusion for U.S. underrepresented minorities,” AFL notes in a letter to IBM about the alleged violations. Paul Cormier, the CEO of Red Hat, was cited in the letter as allegedly saying that several “leaders” were “held accountable to the point that they’re no longer here at Red Hat” because they did not met corporate standards.

Justice Is Served – Business Owners Refuse to Hire Columbia Grads After Pro-Palestinian Protest

Some business owners are expressing opposition to hiring alumni from Columbia University amid ongoing pro-Palestinian protests at the Ivy League school in New York City.

In a post to X, formerly Twitter, Tom McClellan, the editor of The McClellan Market Report said that he will no longer be hiring “any recent graduate of Columbia, because that school is so tainted.

“And I furthermore will not hire any older graduates either, because it has become evident that the academic rot is so deeply ingrained as to taint others who have come through that institution in the past several years,” McClellan wrote.

“I cannot have faith that any former Columbia student could have achieved sufficient academic success, especially in light of the overwhelming recent evidence that the academic requirements there are so lax such that students have time to go set up protests on the quad instead of studying.”

Similarly, consultant Warren Kinsella said: “At the firm I founded 18 years ago, and in the war rooms I’ve run for the past 31 years, I’ve employed hundreds of young people. I’ll never again hire one from @Columbia.”

FAFO – 13 Federal Judges Say They Will No Longer Hire Law Clerks From Columbia University, Citing ‘Virulent Spread of Antisemitism’ and ‘Explosion of Student Disruptions’

Not only that, they are using AI to identify the losers who were protesting.

Thirteen federal judges said Monday that they would no longer hire law clerks from Columbia College or Columbia Law School after the university allowed an encampment on its lawn to spiral into a destructive occupation of a campus building. The judges cited the “explosion of student disruptions” and the “virulent spread of antisemitism” at Columbia, which has now canceled its main graduation ceremony because of the unrest.

Led by appellate judges James Ho and Elizabeth Branch, who spearheaded a clerkship boycott of Yale Law School in 2022 and Stanford Law School in 2023, as well as by Matthew Solomson on the U.S Court of Federal Claims, the judges wrote in a letter to Columbia president Minouche Shafik that they would no longer hire “anyone who joins the Columbia University community—whether as undergraduates or as law students—beginning with the entering class of 2024.”

“Freedom of speech protects protest, not trespass, and certainly not acts or threats of violence or terrorism,” the judges wrote. “It has become clear that Columbia applies double standards when it comes to free speech and student misconduct.”

It was almost a lock to get hired with a degree from Columbia. They are either that stupid, or have bought the hate indoctrination lock, stock and barrel.

Stock Drops Like a Rock After Woke CEO Says He’s ‘Eager’ to Hire Anti-Israel Protesters

Say hello to Captain Obvious.

As the saying goes, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

That’s exactly what Hims and Hers CEO Andrew Dudum got after he took to social media to encourage anti-Israel protesters to apply to the company, claiming that companies will want to hire them for their “moral courage.”

“Moral courage > College degree,” he posted. “If you’re currently protesting against the genocide of the Palestinian people & for your university’s divestment from Israel, keep going. It’s working.”

The public, or at least those trading the company’s stock, do not appear to be siding with Dudum, as the company price dropped a whopping eight percent on Friday, just days after the tweet was put out, according to the New York Post.

The sexual health and pharmaceutical company lost an immense $210 million in stock value that day, with signs pointing to a continuation of the trend.

So in one fell swoop, Hims and Hers has lost hundreds of millions in market value, lost significant public opinion and is now looking to hire a bunch of DEI employees.

Saving The Flag At UNC-CH

I lived near that dump of a school and can tell you that it’s a cesspool of libtardedness. It was no surprise to me that they were involved with the Jew Hating Anti-Semitic riots. I knew without reading that they were on the side of wrong, or Palestine in this case.

I regularly trash the Ivy League because they ask for it and deserve what they get, but I knew that Chapel Hill wasn’t far behind. They are birds of a feather in their elite attitude and indoctrination of their students. These students were first in line to tear down statues and protest against everything that made us a great country.

While these guys didn’t stop the riots and tell them that their actions have them hell bound, they did stick up for the flag and by that, I mean the country.

I was sort of shocked that there was someone with an actual moral spine at that school, but here you have it.

Now, what I’m talking about….

“And the rocket’s red glare, the bomb bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there, O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?”

When Francis Scott Key penned these words in 1814, over a dozen British warships were launching mortars and rockets in the mouth of the Baltimore Harbor.

Although no mortars or rockets were fired in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, last Tuesday, there were some familiar sounds of battle: the beat of a snare drum, the bellicose shouting of belligerents, and the whizz of not rockets but rocks and water bottles.

But Key surely would have smiled had he been present to see the small cadre of men enduring profanity, spittle, and abuse in order to keep the star-spangled banner from touching the ground.

After screaming, left-wing, pro-Hamas protesters tore down the American flag in the quadrangle at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, raising a Palestinian flag in its stead, Chancellor Lee Roberts and several police officers restored the flag to its rightful place.

rest of the story

That school infects the whole area with anti-American and socialist thinking. What ever happens at that place let’s me know that it is the opposite of what is moral and right. That’s why I chose to write about this. An actual patriotic gesture at this institution of the socialist left is against every action that usually comes out of this place.

If you look at the election results this November, there will be a very blue spot in Durham and Orange Counties. It is where Duke and UNC-CH are, along with the community they have infected surrounding it.

Where Unsold EV’s Go To Die

I’ve already posted today that EV’s are not a solution to anything. My wife’s relatives in a Scandinavian country have them, but they continue be on the side of wrong for just about anything. I’ve learned to go against what they choose and I’m usually on the right side of most things. They are proud of their decisions and have no idea that they are so far from the truth.

(ZeroHedge)—Ten years ago this week, we posted one of out most viral stories, highlighting the over-capacity in the auto industry: “Where the World’s Unsold Cars Go To Die,” which highlighted the ‘endgame’ of automakers’ ‘channel stuffing’ efforts to disguise the sudden lack of demand for all the exciting new models that they had forecast would boom to the moon…

And now, as MishTalk’s Mike Shedlock reports, we are seeing similar pictures across Europe…

“Some are parked here for a year, sometimes more.”

Le Monde reports Belgium’s ports drowning under glut of Chinese electric cars: ‘Some are parked here for a year, sometimes more’

Due to China’s overcapacity in production – as it aims to capture a quarter of the European electric vehicle market – the ports of Antwerp and Zeebrugge are inundated.

You probably need to see it to appreciate the challenges the automobile industry faces in transitioning to electricity. You also need to come here to understand how the Chinese industry’s overcapacity has flooded the European market. That morning, as the sun unexpectedly lit up the maze of highways leading to this remote arm of the port of Antwerp, Belgium, a huge cargo ship from the Norwegian company Höegh Autoliners unloaded thousands of cars at one of the terminals of International Car Operators (ICO), a subsidiary of the Japanese group Nippon Yusen Kaisha.

Quartz reports Cars are piling up at European ports at an alarming rate

Imported vehicles are seriously piling up at European ports, turning them into “car parks.” Automakers are distributors are struggling with a slowdown in car sales as well as logistical bottlenecks that make it hard to alleviate the buildup of new, unsold vehicles.

Some Chinese brand EVs had been sitting in European ports for up to 18 months, while some ports had asked importers to provide proof of onward transport, according to industry executives. One car logistics expert said many of the unloaded vehicles were simply staying in the ports until they were sold to distributors or end users.

“It’s chaos,” said another person who had been briefed on the situation.

The Decline Of Star Wars And Star Trek

There may be bigger Trekkie or Star Wars fans than me, but they are at conferences and cos-play. I have been disappointed in TPTB who made both woke. Read below and weep for those of us who have been shit on by the movies and TV shows that have been put out lately.

For those who do not follow science fiction, Star Wars and Star Trek have been on the decline since 2005, at the very least. 

Things did not come to the forefront until George Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney in 2012 and Kathleen Kennedy took over as head of Lucasfilm.  Kennedy loudly announced “The Force is Female” while Disney executives while Disney executives proudly proclaimed their “Not so secret gay agenda.”

Although Trump-supporter Manny Coto was the showrunner for the last season of Star Trek: Enterprise in 2005, the series as been on the decline ever since the Berman/Braga Era.  This was after Gene Roddenberry, the coke-addicted alcoholic who abused the staff of Star Trek: The Next Generation through his attorney, Leonard Maizlish, was forced out in 1989.

Alex Kurtzman took over after the 2009 Star Trek film, and things went downhill from there.  Star Trek: Discovery is one of the most widely-mocked shows in history, and Star Trek: Picard was an overall terrible production.  Star Trek: New Worlds even had January 6 as a “major event.”

Adulting Is Hard These Days, Especially At Universities

No one is teaching. Or, rather, the teachers are teaching the ego-tantrum, validating toddler politics with their own toddler politics. You have to have a cohort of adults to prepare the next cohort of adults. And so here we are. Anyone who objects to you making your encampment on campus a Jew-free zone is obviously a MAGA jerk.

Universities have to teach. Here’s the president of Yale, getting it right:

As a university dedicated to learning and the search for truth, we hold the exchange of ideas and the diversity of viewpoints to be fundamental. To claim control of a shared physical space and to impose an intellectual and ideological litmus test are not in keeping with our bedrock principles and values.

There aren’t many academic leaders who have passed this test.

If you don’t put a beverage in my mouth, I’ll die of dehydration. That comes from somewhere. It’s learned behavior, and we should be angrier at the people who taught it than we are at the students who learned it.

And Why Do The Other Half Bother Trusting Them?

AP admits half of Americans do not trust news organization: Poll

The Associated Press admitted on Wednesday that more than half of the country does not trust mainstream news outlets when it comes to reporting on the 2024 presidential election.

A new poll revealed that 53% of respondents are “extremely” or “very concerned” that news organizations will report inaccuracies or misinformation during the election, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll.

Nearly half of the respondents (47%) also revealed they are “extremely or very concerned” that the news outlets will not verify or fact-check information before they publish it, and 44% are concerned that the news will be presented in a biased way. 

“The level of engagement is good,” Michael Bolden, CEO of the American Press Institute which helped with the poll, told the AP. “The thing that’s most concerning is that they’re not sure that they can actually trust the information.”

Columbia U. AKA The Frankfurt School Of Marxism Finally Shows It’s True Colors

I regularly lampoon the Ivy League, but they exposed themselves as Anti-Semites and Marxists. I’m going to take a look behind the covers since everyone saw what went on.

The world got to see just how much hate and bigotry the students are being taught.

This is an old money school. A lot of rich Jewish people have old money, but don’t go looking for them to continue if they really believe their religion.

In 1934, the Frankfurt School was reborn at Columbia University. Its members began to exert their ideas on American culture. It was at Columbia University that the school honed the tool it would use to destroy Western culture: the printed word.

The school published a lot of popular material. The first of these was Critical Theory.

Let’s look at it:

The campuses of America’s colleges and universities are awash in Marxist ideology and tolerance for Fascist/Nazi tactics as well as cowardice and lemming like group think by professors and presidents.  The chaotic and perilous end-product of these mindsets is what Americans are witnessing today in the virulent antisemitism, support for Islamic terrorism, and anti-Americanism at so many colleges and universities.

Thirty-five years ago, the New York Times published an article entitled “The Mainstreaming of Marxism in US colleges”  describing how, despite unmitigated failures and the collapse of Marxism around the world, Marxist ideas were becoming mainstream in the halls of American universities. 

The Marxists in America, recognizing that the traditional class conflict argument would not work in the United States, instead promoted one simplistic tenet– the world is divided into the oppressors and the oppressed.  Therefore, the oppressors must be overthrown by any means possible if there is to be a “just and equitable” society.

The Cover up – Columbia suspends media access because of pro-Palestine riots

Columbia University banned media access on its campus Tuesday as pro-Palestine protests continue.

“Media access to campus is suspended. Campus is accessible only to CUID-holders and essential personnel as a safety measure and that includes media,” read an announcement on the university website.

$500 million of taxpayer money goes to Columbia, despite it’s $14 Billion endowment

Spoiled Children Have Seized the Colleges We Pay For

Columbia University receives a taxpayer subsidy of almost $500 million every year for the overhead on federal research grants. That’s not the money it receives to conduct research. That’s the amount Columbia gets to pay for the buildings in which it conducts that research.

Never mind that Columbia already has more than $14 billion in endowment to pay for all the buildings it needs. And all of this is on top of the money the school gets by over-charging for tuition, which is made possible by students being able to take out subsidized loans that taxpayers might have to “forgive.” 

Propaganda takes over Colleges and Universities – these are the teachers to the students

Propaganda is not merely a critique of a specific phenomenon but a broader exploration of the relationship between information, power, and human agency in modern societies. It invites readers to reflect on the ways in which their beliefs and behaviors are shaped by external forces and to reclaim their capacity for independent thought and critical engagement with the world around them.

We are currently witnessing successful propagandizing of gullible dimwits by the malignant, dissembling agents of Islam, e.g., Hamas, Hezbollah, so-called Palestinians, BDS advocates, DEI and CRTers, and other agents of our destruction.  Whether we appreciate it or not, propaganda will substantially influence our future.

Jacques Ellul argues even the most intelligent and educated individuals are susceptible to falling for and propagating propaganda due to:

1. Intellectual laziness: Ellul suggests that intellectuals and experts often become complacent and intellectually lazy, relying too heavily on established beliefs and assumptions without critically examining them. This makes them vulnerable to confirmation bias.

One of the biggest assholes I worked with at IBM was a New Yorker with a fuse the length of a gnat’s eyelash. When I looked him up, he was a Columbia graduate. It all made sense to me then.

If you send your kids there, you are a dumbass for wasting your money. If you are interviewing graduates and hire one from the Ivy League, you are a dumbass. These kids are poison like their professors. This needs to be further exposed and stopped.

The Perils Of Being Woke, Boeing And Ford

Sure, it’s easy to say get woke and go broke, but when you have Bud Light, Target, Disney as real world examples it can ring true. They are all just different flavors of ass tasting ice cream.

Now we have Boeing and Ford.

FORD

Ford loses $132,000 on every electric car it builds, or $5 Billion a year. Henry Ford is turning in his grave.

Ford just reported a massive loss on every electric vehicle it sold

By Chris Isidore, CNN
Updated 2:10 PM EDT, Thu April 25, 2024

New YorkCNN — 

Ford’s electric vehicle unit reported that losses soared in the first quarter to $1.3 billion, or $132,000 for each of the 10,000 vehicles it sold in the first three months of the year, helping to drag down earnings for the company overall.

Ford, like most automakers, has announced plans to shift from traditional gas-powered vehicles to EVs in coming years. But it is the only traditional automaker to break out results of its retail EV sales. And the results it reported Wednesday show another sign of the profit pressures on the EV business at Ford and other automakers.

The EV unit, which Ford calls Model e, sold 10,000 vehicles in the quarter, down 20% from the number it sold a year earlier. And its revenue plunged 84% to about $100 million, which Ford attributed mostly to price cuts for EVs across the industry. That resulted in the $1.3 billion loss before interest and taxes (EBIT), and the massive per-vehicle loss in the Model e unit.

The losses go far beyond the cost of building and selling those 10,000 cars, according to Ford. Instead the losses include hundreds of millions being spent on research and development of the next generation of EVs for Ford. Those investments are years away from paying off.

And that means this is not the end of the losses in the unit – Ford said it expects Model e will have EBIT losses of $5 billion for the full year.

BOEING

After stating that DEI/DIE was the most important part of their business, they just burned through $3.3 billion in one quarter cleaning up the mess:

Top jet manufacturer Boeing reported on Wednesday a net loss of $355 million in the first quarter after months of scrutiny over recent safety issues.

Operating revenue declined 8% year over year in the first quarter, from approximately $17.9 billion to $16.6 billion, with the company burning more than $3.9 billion in free cash flow in the time frame compared to $786 million a year ago, according to Boeing’s first quarter earnings report. Recent scrutiny of safety with Boeing products began in January after an Alaska Airlines flight had a door plug fly off mid-air, resulting in an emergency landing and an investigation into the company’s quality assurance.=

“Our first quarter results reflect the immediate actions we’ve taken to slow down 737 production to drive improvements in quality,” Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun said in the report. “We will take the time necessary to strengthen our quality and safety management systems and this work will position us for a stronger and more stable future.”

Boeing reported an over $3.3 billion operating cash flow loss in the first quarter, compared to a $318 billion loss at the start of 2023, according to the earnings report. The decline in profits led to a core loss per share of $1.13 for shareholders in the first quarter, lower than the $1.27 loss in the same time frame last year.

Your Tuesday Harvard Report

Pro-Hamas Harvard University students removed American flags on at least three campus buildings. I suspect many Americans were surprised to learn that Harvard actually flew the American flag. Old Glory was replaced by the Palestinian flag. Later, police restored the flags as outraged students jeered. As the staff removed the flags, protesters yelled “Shame!” and chanted “Free, free Palestine” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” Seems to me if an American university refuses to fly the American flag, we should refuse to send them any tax money.

America hating students. Good luck finding a job. Don’t tell them you went to Harvard

Feminism has left middle-aged women like me single, childless and depressed

Feminism made the error of telling us to behave and think like men

Historically, of course, the feminist argument had valid points. In the old days, when members of my sex were bound first to their fathers and then to their husbands, they undoubtedly led disagreeable lives. If a woman had a good education, however, she could make a comfortable living and remain independent of male approval. When the desire for marriage and children overwhelmed her, she would almost certainly lose her job, and in consequence become tied to her house, compelled to perform a thousand trivial and demeaning tasks unworthy of her ability. 

But the world has changed in a way the early feminist would find incomprehensible and grotesque – indeed, she would view today’s flag bearers as hollow and preposterous nothings. I sometimes think the West has outgrown the feminist philosophy entirely and should cast it off. 

Where, for instance, does it leave women like me, when we have reached the age of 54, as I have, and find ourselves both single and childless? Hugging the collected works of Proust, or engaging in furtive sojourns to the pub that bring remembrances of things pissed? One in 10 British women in their 50s have never married and live alone, which is neither pleasant nor healthy.

I saw it my whole life. They loved to be like men (while hating them in words), but always had regret when the biological clock ticked midnight. Then I heard the regret.

A Flight I’d Never Get On – Astronauts arrive at Kennedy Space Center as 1st crew for Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft

At the rate of woke and parts falling off of Boeing aircraft, I wouldn’t trust this craft at all.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — It’s not just another ride for a pair of veteran NASA astronauts who arrived to the Space Coast ahead of their flight onboard Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner.

Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita “Suni” Williams, who both joined NASA’s astronaut corps more than two decades ago, will be the commander and pilot for the Crew Flight Test mission of the much-delayed spacecraft.

It’s set to launch with humans on board for the first time atop an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s Space Launch Complex 41 on May 6 at 10:34 p.m., headed to the International Space Station.

How soon after launch do parts fall off?

Columbia Student Who Spoke of ‘Murdering’ Zionists Banned From Campus

Your can read the backstory on this here. Some people on Twitter/X are saying he was expelled, but that’s not confirmed. What we do know is that he has been banned from campus.

Hope that money from Soros was worth it

FOX News reports:

Columbia student banned from campus after remarks about ‘murdering Zionists’

The Columbia University student who discussed “murdering Zionists” was “banned from campus” Friday, according to a university spokesperson.

Junior Khymani James expressed “regret” early Friday after he went viral online for previously suggesting people should be “grateful” he wasn’t “murdering Zionists,” whom he likened to “White supremacists” and “Nazis.”

Without explicitly mentioning what they were, James copped to inflammatory comments that were first reported by The Daily Wire, during a livestream of an official Columbia inquiry in January.

“I actually kind of hope they do kick me out because I’ve been meaning to travel to South America,” James said of whether he would remain on as a student at Columbia during the livestream.

University sources told Fox News Digital disciplinary proceedings are now underway.

Before the news James was banned, Columbia put out a campus update calling the video “extremely alarming and upsetting.”

“Calls of violence and statements targeted at individuals based on their religious, ethnic, or national identity are unacceptable and violate university policy,” the statement said. “When there are violations of student conduct policies, they are reviewed and disciplinary measures are applied.”

“What is a Zionist? A White supremacist,” James said in the resurfaced video.

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.

All 10 Worst States for Business Run by Dems, 8 of 10 Best Led by GOP, CEO Survey Shows

It’s kind of obvious, but nevertheless, here it is.

Every one of the 10 “worst states for business” is run by a Democrat governor, while Republican governors dominate the 10 best states, results of a national survey of Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) released Tuesday reveals.

The 2024 Chief Executive Best & Worst States for Business survey is the latest of the publication’s annual studies polling “more than 600 American CEOs, with representation from every state.”

Texas won this year’s crown for best state, with Florida taking second place, which Chief Executive notes has been “the pattern for nearly the entire history of the annual survey that began in 2001.” Tennessee was rated the third-best state for business.

All three of the best states, and eight of the top ten, have Republican governors:

  1. Texas – Republican Greg Abbott
  2. Florida – Republican Ron DeSantis
  3. Tennessee – Republican Bill Lee
  4. Arizona – Democrat Katie Hobbs (Jan. 2023) – unseats GOP
  5. North Carolina – Democrat Roy Cooper
  6. Indiana – Republican Eric Holcomb
  7. Georgia – Republican Brian Kemp
  8. Nevada – Republican Joe Lombardo (Jan. 2023) – unseats Dem
  9. Utah – Republican Spencer Cox
  10. South Carolina – Republican Henry McMaster

Post Earth Day Poll – Climate Change Last Priority For Americans

If you follow patterns like I do, you’ll recognize this to be like Covid, made up lies by the government to control citizens and launder money.

They count on the gullibility and under education of a large portion of the population, then spring a made up story on them. All they while, they are doing it in the name of the benefit of the population. I’ve got news for you, when they say this, it only benefits them.

Read and weep:

“Climate change” is tied as the last priority for Americans, a recent Gallup poll found, marking another year that the issue remains the least important priority.

Global warming is now dubbed “climate change.”

Because the earth does not consistently warm, they changed the term to “climate change,” which justifies their claims regardless of whether the earth warms or cools.

  • Economy in general: 14 percent
  • High cost of living/Inflation: 11 percent
  • Poverty/Hunger/Homelessness: 6 percent
  • Unifying the country: 4 percent
  • Crime/Violence: 3 percent

The Rats Are Winning In New York City

Further on the destruction from rat urine….

Thanks to rats, life is getting tougher. The city Health Department has just warned that in 2023 rat-related sickness soared to the highest level in a single year.

The Health Department is warning of a worrisome increase in the number of infectious leptospirosis cases that come from contact with rat urine.

“Not only are rodents unsightly and can traumatize your day, but they’re a real health-related crises,” Mayor Eric Adams said.

Last year was a record year for rat disease. From 2001 to 2020, New York City was averaging just three cases of human leptospirosis per year. That jumped to 24 cases last year and there have been six cases so far this year.

Officials are worried because it often comes from handling trash bags or bins containing food waste. If not treated it can cause kidney failure, meningitis, liver damage and respiratory distress. In all, six people have died. So the city will start by mounting an education campaign.
