I Criticized BLM. Then I Was Fired. - by Zac Kriegman

• The data about police shootings just didn't add up, but no one at Thomson Reuters wanted to hear it.

"...by now you have surely noticed a trend: workplaces—in some cases, storied institutions—that turn hostile to independent thinking seemingly overnight.

• 
  That’s what Paul Rossi experienced at Grace Church School. 
• It’s what Jennifer Sey went through at Levi’s. 
• It’s what Antonio García Martínez dealt with at Apple. 
• And Roland Fryer at Harvard. And Gordon Klein at UCLA. 
• And Maud Maron at Legal Aid.
• Now comes the story of Zac Kriegman, who, until not so long ago, was a director of data science at Thomson Reuters. Kriegman’s crime? Questioning the Black Lives Matter narrative.

"...About a year ago, I stumbled on a really big story. It was about black Americans being gunned down across the country and the ways in which we report on that violence. We had been talking nonstop about race and police brutality, and I thought: This is a story that could save lives. This is a story that has to be told.
But when I shared the story with my coworkers, my boss chastised me, telling me expressing this opinion could limit my ability to take on leadership roles within the company. Then I was maligned by my colleagues. And then I was fired..."

Your tax dollars at "work"-----New study links support for Brett Kavanaugh to the endorsement of hegemonic masculinity

New study links support for Brett Kavanaugh to the endorsement of hegemonic masculinity

• 
  People who held traditional stereotypes about masculinity tended to have more positive evaluations of Brett Kavanaugh during his contentious Supreme Court hearings and more negative evaluations of the women who accused him of sexual misconduct, according to new research published in Social Psychological and Personality Science.
  
• The authors of the new research have previously found the endorsement of “hegemonic masculinity” — an idealized form of masculinity — was associated with support for Donald Trump.

...The study, “Hegemonic Masculinity Predicts Support for U.S. Political Figures Accused of Sexual Assault“, was authored by Nathaniel E. C. Schermerhorn, Theresa K. Vescio, and Kathrine A. Lewis.

Candace Owens slams Black Lives Matter founder - TheBlaze: 

"Patrisse is pretending to be scared because she knows that this Black Lives Matter lie is falling apart. And she doesn’t know what to do,” Owens said on Instagram. "What you are seeing right now is the face of a woman who is pretending she's afraid of right-wing pundits when in reality, she’s being exposed as a fraud… took millions of dollars to fund herself, to fund her lifestyle, to fund her girlfriend and to buy million-dollar mansions in neighborhoods where no black people live."

The left's attack on Tucker Carlson, alleging he is pushing the Great Replacement Theory, is rubbish.

Michael Smith
"The left's attack on Tucker Carlson, alleging he is pushing the Great Replacement Theory, is rubbish.

• Democrats have been bragging for decades that the white population in America is going to be reduced. They even included it in their 2020 party platform.
• White demographic replacement isn’t a conspiracy theory, it’s a statistical fact.
• What would make any Democrat believe that the share of the white population magically decreased by 30 percentage points in less than 50 years? 
• Or that in a decade (2010-2020), the percentage of white people dropped from 71% of the population to just over 60%.
• Would it not make sense that a desire for demographic change is driving the open borders policies of the Biden administration, particularly in a era when tens-of-thousands of non-Whites are marching for the southern border at any given time based on a clearly implied promise of mass amnesty?

Tucker's crime, it seems, was to notice what the Democrats are doing and then putting it on television."

Trump and Republicans react to Biden's ultra-MAGA insult concocted by research - TheBlaze: 

Democrats may have undertaken an extensive quest to discover their own version of the "Let's go Brandon" slogan. The Washington Post reported this week that Democrats have spent six months attempting to develop a catchphrase to try to hurt Republicans heading into the 2022 midterm elections. The final result from the six months of research is "ultra-MAGA."

• The Bitumin transported via XL can be converted up to 85% to diesel.

Patriot Uses Shopping Cart Theory to Dunk All Over Liberals - Louder With Crowder

Patriot Uses Shopping Cart Theory to Dunk All Over Liberals - Louder With Crowder: 

The video puts the sometimes controversial "Shopping Cart Theory" to the test: "The shopping cart is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing. To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. To return the shopping cart is objectively right. There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to return their cart. Simultaneously, it is not illegal to abandon your shopping cart. Therefore the shopping cart presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it."

Get government OUT of the WAY!!!-----Traverse City Public Broadband System Has Way Fewer Customers, Money Than Predicted

Traverse City Public Broadband System Has Way Fewer Customers, Money Than Predicted

• Taxpayers and ratepayers are on the hook for this potential boondoggle

"For more than a decade, the electric utility in Traverse City — Traverse City Light & Power — has run a small data network connecting some of its public entities. Public officials believed that they could ramp that up to provide high-speed internet across the city at little cost to taxpayers.

They were wrong. So far, in rolling out its own government-owned network, the city and its contractors have missed almost every projection. And millions in taxpayer dollars are on the line...

• In January 2021, the municipal entity then sought a loan of $18 million from the United States Department of Agriculture to expand the network. The utility was approved for and accepted a $14.7 million loan in March 2022. 
• That loan cannot, however, be used to cover the last link of the network to a customer’s home or business, so the TCL&P says it needs to borrow another $3.2 million to cover those costs..."

How Zuckerberg Used a Tax-Exempt Foundation to Help Biden Fix the 2020 Election | FrontpageMag

• And got away with it!
  

"...Tax-exempt foundations are barred from contributing their resources to election campaigns. 

There is no ambiguity in the law concerning this prohibition...
The existence of such a regulation is meaningless, however, if it is not enforced. 

Consequently, this ban on campaign activities by “charitable” organizations didn’t daunt Facebook billionaire and Democrat Party patron Mark Zuckerberg and his wife when they plotted a massive campaign to swing the 2020 presidential election in favor of the Democrat, Joe Biden. 

The Facebook couple donated $419.5 million to two leftwing tax-exempt foundations with the intention of tipping the result to Biden by launching “get-out-the-vote” campaigns focused on Democrat precincts in battleground states.
A rarely mentioned fact about the 2020 election is that Biden eked out a victory by perhaps the narrowest margin in history — .027% of the 159 million votes cast..."
