EXCLUSIVE: Meet The Five Google Staffers Who Circulated The Petition To Drop Kay Coles James | The Daily Caller
Google staffers are in revolt, demanding the removal of Heritage Foundation president Kay Coles James from an advisory board the company convened on artificial intelligence. A petition with more than 2,000 signatories from within the company was published on Medium on Monday, with the title “Googlers Against Transphobia and Hate.”
The petition’s signers described the appointment of Coles, a black grandmother, as a “weaponization of the language of diversity.”
And FB blocks our posts?!!-----Child Brides in Africa Are Advertised on Facebook and Sold to Old Men
- In one Nigerian community, illiterate fathers have learned from their sons that Facebook is a good way to let buyers know their daughters are for sale.
She and her 14-year-old younger sister...fell victims to a culture which subjects little girls, some as young as 10, to de facto slavery through a tradition called “money marriage.”
Like hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of girls from the Becheve clan who are victims of money marriages, Monica and her sister were sold without their consent.
Their father wanted to clear the debt he owed to a distant relative.

“My father knew nothing about Facebook until my elder brother bought him a smartphone and convinced him to join Facebook and post our photographs whenever he likes,” Monica told The Daily Beast.

Worst than anyone can imagine!-----Ohio Could Become the Next State to Hand Its Electoral Votes Over to California and New York | Trending
Ohio Could Become the Next State to Hand Its Electoral Votes Over to California and New York | Trending:
"Ohio could decide to hand its votes in presidential elections over to the Democratic Party if a proposed ballot measure passes in November.
If approved, the proposed constitutional amendment would award Ohio's electoral votes to the candidate who wins the national popular vote.
The language of the ballot measure would enshrine the following in the state's constitution.
"It is the expressed will of the People that every vote for President be valued equally and that the candidate who wins the most votes nationally becomes President.
Therefore, the General Assembly shall within sixty days of the adoption of this amendment take all necessary legislative action so that the winner of the national popular vote is elected President."
In other words, Ohio would let states like California and New York essentially have veto power over the will of the state's voters in presidential elections — diluting the influence of rural and conservative voters in favor of the coastal elites in populous states that vote overwhelmingly for Democrats.
Supporters, of course, would never frame it that way, but that is in essence what would happen if the national popular vote were used to decide how Ohio's electoral votes are allocated.
It's a sneaky way to subvert the Electoral College without the messy work of amending the U.S. Constitution."

Al Sharpton Enjoying his Role as Democratic Kingmaker
Al Sharpton Enjoying his Role as Democratic Kingmaker"Democrats running for president in 2020 swarmed New York City this week to speak at a convention hosted by Al Sharpton's National Action Network.
Sharpton denies his kingmaker role, telling reporters, “Don’t let them say you came here to kiss the ring, ‘cause I don’t wear a ring."
That may be true.
In fact, Sharpton is more like a mob boss, demanding fealty and tribute from his capo underlings. More to the point, the Democratic candidates speaking before the NAN activists tried to out-radical each other.

DOJ Hits Back At New York Times And Washington Post Stories On Mueller Report | The Daily Caller:
The Justice Department explained why it did not release summaries included in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report after reports surfaced that his investigators felt Attorney General Bill Barr mischaracterized their findings.
“Every page of the ‘confidential report’ provided to Attorney General Barr on March 22, 2019, was marked ‘May Contain Material Protected Under Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(e)’ — a law that protects confidential grand jury information — and therefore could not be publicly released,” Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said in a statement to The Daily Caller.

Never Grow Up! Socialism as Adult Temper Tantrum | Global Liberty Media - The Counter Narrative
"When you are a toddler, all you have to do is point.
Then your mother or father reach over, grab the object you are pointing at, and give it to you.
If you point at a food item, one of them will put it into your mouth.
The spoonful of pudding comes right at your mouth, you open up, and voila!
You have a mouthful of delicious pudding.
You live in a world of near-instant gratification.
As you grow older, you learn to annoy your parents by asking Why?
How?
Where?
What?
When?
...The child psychologist Piaget noticed that young children begin to think they cause things to happen.
This is logical, since this is what happens to toddlers every day.
You want it?
You got it!
Piaget wrote that children can believe that waving their hands causes the wind.
He called this “magical thinking.”
He argued that this comes from experiencing yourself as the center of the universe.
Of course, from a baby’s point of view, he IS the center of his universe.
All things come to baby.
In the normal course of growing up, you learn that you are not the center of the universe.
You no longer get everything you want immediately.
Then you get frustrated and demand to be the center of the universe again.
How?
With a temper tantrum.
...Socialist thinking is toddler magical thinking.
Socialist thinking is ‘never grow up’ thinking.

Of course, this is cleverly disguised as ‘I only want Socialism so that poor people can get free stuff! Social Justice!’

Where were the protests during Obama's years?
Where were the protests during Obama's years?:
Somehow, Democrats support states’ rights when sanctuary cities and states willingly ignore laws Congress passed, but do not believe in states’ rights when a state like North Carolina passes a law to go against a dictatorial edict.
President Obama and other Democrats talked tough on illegal immigration, called the situation at the border a crisis, passed laws funding border barriers, separated children from parents at the border -- and journalists and immigration groups rarely protested. Obama and other Democrats were not repeatedly called racists and xenophobes.
Illegal aliens in custody also died at the same rate during Obama’s eight years as during Trump’s first two years -- and there was no outcry or protests. The media did not blame Obama for the deaths.
Therefore, it is obvious that the attacks on Trump are purely political.

BookGate expands. Another $100K in Baltimore Mayor's pockets
BookGate expands. Another $100K in Baltimore Mayor's pockets"Another day, another rock kicked over, and another pile of apparent corruption is unearthed in Baltimore, Maryland.
This time, a prominent businessman in Charm City has just now “remembered” that he donated $100,000 to then-mayoral candidate Catherine Pugh’s Healthy Holly book company in 2016.
In exchange for this, he received one copy of the book. (Baltimore Sun)
Columbia businessman J.P. Grant on Wednesday said his company cut a check for $100,000 to then-Baltimore mayoral nominee Catherine Pugh’s Healthy Holly LLC in October 2016. He said he received a copy of one book but no documentation of how his money would be used…Grant described the payment in an interview, saying, “I want to be honest.”Grant said he had forgotten about the arrangement until Friday, when he had an assistant check the records of the financial company he runs, Grant Capital Management. He said he subsequently recalled meeting with Pugh and agreeing to pay $100,000 to support what she had described as an effort to distribute the books to schoolchildren.
That means we’re now at a total of $800K going into the Mayor’s book company.
How much longer until we reach the one million mark?

...The doctors attributed his cancer — adenocarcinoma, which usually occurs in the lower portion of the esophagus — to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) — basically, chronic heartburn. but starting in 1997, American esophageal cancer patients, on average, became much more likely to be diagnosed with adenocarcinoma, which is associated with GERD.

Mohawked lib brags about yelling, chasing elderly man in MAGA hat out of Starbucks, but karma arrives swifty Conservative News Today"...in a Palo Alto, Calif., Starbucks, where a woman with an affinity for Mohawks took to Facebook to boast about confronting an elderly man wearing a MAGA hat.
...Calling the man a “freak,” the post under the account Parker Mankey declared that he “will never forget me and will think seriously about wearing that hat in my town ever again.”
“I yelled at him.
Called the entire Starbucks to order and yelled at him more about how it is not ok to hate brown people,” she said.
“He threatened to call the cops. I left after yelling at him some more.”Mankey, a progressive Democrat, explained that she verbally attacked the elderly man a second time
“I went back in and yelled that I had changed my mind and wanted him to call the police because I wanted to know his name, where he lived, his wife’s name, and where his kids went to school,” the Facebook post claimed.

She also said she called on other white people to denounce the man, explaining that it was their “duty.”
But, alas, no one joined in on the lunatic tongue-lashing, to the dismay of the liberal.
The account appears to have been taken down, but here is a screen shot of the post:
And to be clear, Mankey was out to doxx the man.
In the end, it was Mankey would found herself unemployed because of her antics.
She was an accountant for Gryphon Stringed Instruments, a music store that has been in Ventura for more than 40 years, according to Palo Alto Online.
