New Jobs Court would hand nonviolent offenders a paycheck instead of jail sentence
LANSING — State officials on Wednesday announced plans for a new Jobs Court designed to land nonviolent offenders in gainful employment, instead of jail.
For certain low-level crimes, offenders would get a job with decent pay instead of a jail sentence.

...It is part of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's broader MI Safe Communities plan.
...Eligible participants would be matched with employers to work a good-paying job with benefits and skills training.
...Participants would have access to mental health services, transportation to and from work, and a social worker...

Energy Sec. Jennifer Granholm Beclowns Herself and the Biden Admin With Ridiculous Claim

Energy Sec. Jennifer Granholm Beclowns Herself and the Biden Admin With Ridiculous Claim

"Remember when the Obama administration pushed for European prices for gasoline? 

The thinking, if you can call it that, was that if Americans had to pay $9 or $10 a gallon for gas, we’d stop driving so much and this would thus stop global warming (that was the term they used back then before perfectly normal climate fluctuations resulted in embarrassing cool temps–the solution to this inconvenient truth was to change the term to the catch-all “climate change”).
...We all know what we saw, what we experienced; we know what we paid 

• during the Obama-Biden admin, 
• during the Trump admin, 
• and what we are paying now. 

 But Democrats, now back in charge (for the time being), think we are stupid, that we will buy their brazen lies, somehow enjoy their lack of empathy or concern for normal Americans’ economic plight, and reward their condescending mockery.
Watch Joe “I am the Democratic Party” Biden’s repellent Secretary of Energy, Jennifer Granholm, laugh hysterically at the idea that Americans are suffering or that America has any control over gas prices...Read all!

Dr. Fauci's staffers reportedly flagged potential gain-of-function research in Wuhan in 2016 - TheBlaze: 

A new report says that two staffers working with Dr. Anthony Fauci had flagged experiments that possibly included gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Viroloogy in 2016. The report from the Daily Caller News Foundation would toss a wrench into the contentious debate between officials like Fauci who deny gain-of-function was ever funded by the NIH at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and those like Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) who have criticized them heavily.

AT&T race theory training says white employees 'the problem': report

AT&T race theory training says white employees 'the problem': report
"AT&T offers employees training that calls racism a “uniquely white trait” — and tells white employees that they “are the problem,” according to a report based on leaked documents.
The telecommunications giant’s “Listen. Understand. Act” training is based on core principles of critical race theory, including “systemic racism,” “white privilege” and “white fragility,” according to City Journal’s Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

• Employees are encouraged to study resources, including one that asks, “White America, if you want to know who’s responsible for racism, look in the mirror,” Rufo said.
• “White people, you are the problem,” the article reportedly tells employees of why the US is a “racist society.”
  
• “Regardless of how much you say you detest racism, you are the sole reason it has flourished for centuries,” author Dahleen Glanton writes, insisting that “American racism is a uniquely white trait” and that “Black people cannot be racist,” according to the report.
• Employees are also encouraged to participate in a “21-Day Racial Equity Habit Challenge” that relies on the concepts of “whiteness,” “white privilege,” and “white supremacy,” Rufo said...Read all.

  Uber driver was from Cuba...

"Said he came to America for freedom and to make money. 

He supports his family back home and has to pay $40 to send $100 using a travel office because there's no Western Union.
He had never heard about bitcoin. 

He's now enthralled and going to go watch YouTube videos to learn all about it, and have his family figure out how they can locally cash out of crypto and transfer into Cuban pesos, so he can send them more money by avoiding costly middlemen.

• He was so happy to no longer live under the Communist garbage he endured, and excited to bring his family here in a few months. 

He deeply appreciated the relative increase freedom he was experiencing and had all kinds of tales to tell about what life was like in Cuba.
Economics isn't an abstract set of ideas—it's the lived experience of individuals. 

Monetary policy and political corruption (I repeat myself…) hurt people in very real ways, while often enriching the elite. 

Crypto is the best chance we've ever had to eliminate the wasteful middlemen and keep evil people a little more honest."

Joe Biden's new 401(k) rule threatens to funnel workers' retirement funds into 'woke' causes - Washington Times: 

A rule quietly proposed by the Biden administration would allow companies to consider factors such as climate change, diversity issues and even political donations when selecting employees’ 401(k) plans, potentially forcing workers to funnel some of their pay into woke causes.

The proposal explicitly directs retirement plan administrators and asset managers to consider environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) factors when selecting investments.

• Democrats only ever have one refrain about their Republican opponents.

"Winsome Sears just became the first black woman to be elected to statewide office in Virginia, but all Democrats and their Leftmedia propagandists can see is Republican “white supremacy” and “racism.” 
...Democrats beat the racist drum for the entire campaign, and now they’re blaming their loss on the claim that they were right.

• “He’s run a racist campaign from start to finish,” said Terry McAuliffe over the weekend of his rival Glenn Youngkin. 

So “racist” that his lieutenant governor will be a black woman, and his attorney general will be a Cuban American named Jason Miyares.
...The Democrats’ media mouthpieces were no better than McAuliffe. 

• Republicans allegedly decided that “tap-dancing with white supremacy is their way back into power,” opined The Washington Post’s Jonathan Capehart. 
• Politico falsely asserted that Youngkin made “racial appeals to working-class white voters.” 
• Atlantic contributor Jemele Hill groused, “This country simply loves white supremacy.”...Read all!

Fact Check: Is Critical Race Theory Taught in Virginia Schools?
"Throughout election night, as it became clear Republican Glenn Youngkin would win the Virginia governor’s race,

numerous left-leaning media commentators insisted that critical race theory isn’t being taught in Virginia public schools.
...But a simple Google search would have shown these pundits that public documents from the Virginia Department of Education repeatedly mention the phrase “critical race theory,” as well as produced news stories about teacher training by consulting firms associated with critical race theory.
...Critical race theory holds that race is the prism through which all aspects of American life should be analyzed, categorizing individuals into groups of either oppressors or victims of oppression.

...Numerous MSNBC panelists and hosts made comments along the lines of “Critical race theory is not taught in Virginia schools.” 
...Fox News reported and linked to the publicly available documents on the Virginia Department of Education’s official website...Read all!!
