WeWork is going meat-free and taking every one of its employees with it. The startup cited environmental concerns in announcing its immediate company-wide ban on meat. In an email sent Thursday, WeWork cofounder Miguel McKelvey told his 6,000 or so employees the company will no longer serve meat at employee events or reimburse them for meals that include red meat, poultry and pork. It's a bold move for the real estate behemoth believed to be worth $20 billion -- and the most assertive in a series of recent steps large companies have taken to promote sustainability.

A black alumnus of Kean University was charged by police Tuesday for making series of anti-black death threats against the university over Twitter. In the midst of the November student protests at Missouri University and Yale University, nearly 100 Kean students took part in rallies against racism. But shortly afterwards, a Twitter account called @keanuagainstblk promised violence against black students, making both bombing and shooting threats. “i will kill every black male and female at kean university [sic]” the account promised. But police tracked the tweets backs to Kayla-Simone McKelvey, a former Kean student and one of the leaders of...

Font Size: Democrats for Bush By Stephen Green  Published   10/21/2004  Famously -- or perhaps infamously -- ABC's influential political blog The Note (fawning New Yorker magazine profile? Check.) claimed that "we still can't find a single American who voted for Al Gore in 2000 who is planning to vote for George Bush in 2004."  That was last August.  Since then, I've kept a scorecard of exactly which Gore voters are supporting Bush this year.  Some of them, even ABC News may have heard of. Ed Koch -- lifelong Democrat, former Congressman, and New York City councilman and mayor --...

YOUNGSTOWN, OH – Democrat Youngstown Mayor George McKelvey today issued the following statement regarding John Kerry's hunt earlier this morning in Youngstown, Ohio: “The new camouflage jacket that supposed ‘avid’ hunter John Kerry wore today can’t hide him from a voting record that has earned him the distinction of being named the most liberal member of the United States Senate. “John Kerry can’t apply camouflage to his record, and it’s a record that is out of touch with all the mainstream values and priorities of the people of Ohio. “As a Democrat who supports President Bush, I’m confident that the...

I'M THE Democratic mayor of Youngstown, a city that traditionally gives 60 to 75 percent of its vote to the Democratic presidential candidate. Growing up with the legacies of FDR, Harry Truman, and JFK formed my core Democratic values. They had the courage of their convictions, their word was their bond, and the entire world knew it. They made me proud to be a Democrat. Fast forward to 2004. John Kerry stands on the stage of Radio City Music Hall, acknowledges a group of Hollywood leftists and elitists, and characterizes them as representing the heart and soul of America. Senator...

YOUNGSTOWN, OH – Today, Youngstown Mayor George M. McKelvey (D) issued the following statement on John Kerry's trip to Ohio: "Ohio voters understand that defending America is of the utmost importance, and Ohio voters aren't going to trust a candidate who says America has to pass a 'global test' before taking action. Giving other countries veto power over our self-defense would cause our nation to drift towards tragedy. Ohioans want a President who takes action, not an international poll. President Bush realizes that our national security decisions must be made in the Oval Office, not foreign capitals."

...[J]ust when I was about to conclude that all is lost, along came a fresh-faced figure whose unblinking candor and old-fashioned perspective are as inspiring as they are reassuring. I refer to Honest George McKelvey, mayor of Youngstown, Ohio. McKelvey is a life-long Democrat. But last Tuesday he broke with orthodoxy and astonished the world with a ringing endorsement of President Bush.[...snip...] If McKelvey has strong feelings about international economics or American social policy, he hasn't expressed them. His concerns are less high flown. "I'm still waiting for someone to show me what we've gotten in this valley for delivering...

George McKelvey, that is, the Democratic mayor of Youngstown, Ohio, who's here talking up the re-election bid of President Bush and sounding every bit like Miller Who sounds like a Republican.

As for his party's nominee, John Kerry, McKelvey said, "Like the...

YOUNGSTOWN, OH – Democrat Youngstown Mayor George M. McKelvey, who recently endorsed President Bush, today issued the following statement: "John Kerry has tried to scare Ohio voters with pessimistic attacks on our economy, but his misleading rhetoric ignores his record of voting 98 times to increase taxes, including the largest tax increase in U.S. history. Kerry also opposes efforts to curb the medical liability lawsuits that are costing patients up to $108 billion each year. "John Kerry and his running mate are two of only four Senators who voted for the Iraq War and then voted against $87 billion in...

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -- Mayor George McKelvey doesn’t know why he was invited to dinner by President Bush, but described the occasion as successful, “humbling” and a “life-altering experience.” But leading Democrats in the Mahoning Valley find the whole episode amusing, a lesson in Electoral College politics and how the “poaching” game is played.

McKelvey and his nest of vile insects have started running radio ads here in Oregon, trying to get voters to pressure RINO Senator Gordon Smith ("There is nothing you can say that will convince me that the Second Amendment is an absolute right") into voting for the McPain-Lieberalman Gungrab Act. The slick, contrived ads feature a smarmy female voice complaining that terrorists are buying guns at gunshows (yes, Lieberals have *no* shame, and would exploit their own daughters' being raped and murdered in order to build the Socialist paradise, we all know that). McKelvey et. al. must think they don't...
