24 Hour Fitness says BLM, Pride flags are approved 'symbols of expression' but American flags are only for designated holidays

The list also includes "Flag or United States logo," with the stipulation that they only be worn on "holidays such as Memorial Day, Flag Day, July 4th, Veteran’s Day, Patriots Day, etc."
"A newly surfaced internal memo from the national gym chain 24 Hour Fitness has revealed that employees were told they can wear items containing Pride or Black Lives Matter logos without restriction, while items containing the American flag could only be worn on holidays like the 4th of July.
"We’ve committed to creating a more inclusive environment at 24 Hour Fitness, recognizing that we have work to do to become stronger allies in support of those who are impacted by systemic oppression and inequality," the internal memo...

Everyone was wrong!

 

The Contrarians Were Right About Covid Restrictions

Safetyism can lead to some of the worst infringements of individual rights. That is why we don’t live in a public-health dictatorship. Or rather, why we didn’t until Covid. - DAVID HARSANYI
"If you head over to “The Federalist” entry on Wikipedia, you will find, among other smears of our little operation, a “COVID-19 pandemic misinformation” section. 
It’s a sad reminder of how authoritarians misuse the idea of “misinformation” to quash debate and control the conversation...

But this “great jobs news” is entirely a fiction.
"...“The great American comeback continues,” Biden enthused. On my watch, 15.6 million more Americans have the dignity and respect that comes with a job.”
But this “great jobs news” is entirely a fiction.
 The truth is that the job growth under Biden is much closer to zero than it is to 15.6 million.

Lawmaker: $4.4B of corporate subsidies is ‘legislative malpractice’

Rep. Dylan Wegela says money should have funded infrastructure, schools and communities By Scott McClallen
Since 2023, Michigan has authorized $4.4 billion of select corporate business subsidies.
Assuming that money is fungible, what could it have bought Michiganders?
  • The average price of a ticket to a Taylor Swift concert in 2023 was $1,088, as calculated by CNBC. At that rate, Michigan could have bought Taylor Swift tickets for 40% of the state population.
  • Or, Michigan taxpayers could have bought 33 million days — 90,000 years and then some — at Disney World via $130-day passes.
  • The money could have funded child care and living expenses for the roughly 10,000 Michigan kids in foster care. 
  • It could have lowered Michigan’s personal income tax rate to 2.85%, down from 4.25%.
...He cited a 2023 report from the Public Service Consultants, which estimates Michigan underfunds transportation infrastructure by $3.9 billion, and an Education Law Center report that said public education is underfunded by $4.5 billion. 

It's a scam!-----Academic Publisher Retracts Over 11,300 Papers and Shuts 19 Journals As It Is Overwhelmed by Fraud By streiff

Academic fraud is forcing Wiley, a major publisher of scientific journals, to close 19 journals after some were overwhelmed by industrial-scale research fraud.
"...These publications don't make their money from advertisers. 
To have a research paper published in a top-tier journal will cost the research team several thousand dollars...
Why, you might add, would anyone pay $12,000 to have their paper published in one of Nature's 156 titles? 
  • The way you win grants, acquire and maintain academic tenure, and move from the underpaid gypsy status of a post-doctoral researcher is by publishing. 
  • Nearly all the problems associated with academic publishing — fraudulent data, insipid and irrelevant subjects, and incoherent writing being top among them — stem from the role publishing in academic journals plays in scientific research. 
  • Paradoxically, the business model of academic journals is based on selling space to needy scientists, and so there is a tension between academic integrity and the bottom line that technology, especially the emergence of large language models, has exacerbated...

WND reported only a few weeks ago of the stark double standard the Biden administration is using to operate. Another special counsel, Jack Smith, has launched a massive attack on President Donald Trump over his retention of presidential papers in his home. There are several differences from the Biden case. Trump was president and had authority to declassify any documents; Biden never was and never did.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali: We Have Been Subverted | The Free Press

What is at stake in our ability to see the threat plainly? Nothing less than the preservation of our way of life. By Ayaan Hirsi Ali
  • If you wonder why I—a woman of color, an African, a former Muslim, a former asylum seeker, and an immigrant—look at the antics of today’s anti-Israel, anti-American protesters with such fear and trembling, allow me to explain.
I was born in Somalia in 1969. The country had achieved independence nine years before. But less than a month before I was born—on October 21, 1969—a junior member of the brand-new Somali armed forces seized power with the help of the Soviet Union. The first two decades of my life were shaped by the upheaval that followed that coup...
What followed was a nightmare.
  • Right now, so many Western nations are under grave threat from the twin forces of cultural Marxism and an expansionist political Islam familiar to me from my youth.

How close is Biden to instigating nuclear war? | WND | by Richard Blakley

In three and a half years, Biden has taken America backwards to another 1979 Iran hostage scenario, except this time with Hamas holding U.S. citizens and others hostage, and has taken us backwards to another 1962 Cuban missile crisis with Russia doing military exercises in the Caribbean and threatening to give nuclear weapons to U.S. enemies.

THEY HATE YOU: Democrat Congressional Candidate Says the Quiet Part Out Loud, Proposes RE-EDUCATION CAMPS for Trump Supporters | The Gateway Pundit | by Cullen Linebarger

  • Collins explained to her fans that a Democrat victory in November is not enough to ‘save the country,’ even if there is “a resounding blue wave.” According to her, a final solution involving sending Trump supporters off to re-education camps is imperative as well.
  • “Even if we were to have a resounding blue wave come through, as many of us would like, putting it all back together again after we’ve gone through this MAGA nightmare and re-educating basically, which that sounds like a rather, a re-education camp,” the fascist candidate explained...

Ukrainian outlet with ties to US State Department puts Blaze Media on 'Russian disinformation' watchlist | Blaze Media

The Texty.org article clearly presupposes that Ukraine is entitled to American financial support in its efforts against Russia, asserting that "Ukraine's victory is essential for the democratic world." It also seemingly blames Congress for "increased casualties among Ukrainian troops and a gradual retreat by the Ukrainian Armed Forces" because it delayed authorizing more aid by a mere four months. The article even blasted 10 congressional Republicans for simply calling for "a stronger audit" of Ukrainian funding packages.
