An Indian tech manager in the United States has expressed his frustration after feeling unfairly judged and resented for stereotypes associated with Indian professionals in the industry. In an anonymous post on the workplace discussion platform Blind titled “I’m an Indian manager and I feel hated for things I didn’t do,” the user shared that he came to the US on an H1B visa, worked his way up from level L5 to L7, and has always believed in fairness and merit. The manager wrote that he has mentored colleagues from various backgrounds, hired based on talent, and never considered race,...

Police in Port St. Lucie, Florida, were called to a bar after a disagreement over chickens led to shots being fired and several arrests. WPTV said it happened at about 2:48 a.m. on Nov. 4 in a bar’s parking lot after the business had closed for the night. “There was a conversation about how many, I kid you not, how many eggs a chicken can lay. And that conversation got a little heated, and as it went out into the parking lot, the conversation continued, and the shooter became agitated, became paranoid,” Sgt. Dominick Mesiti said. Three of the four...

This is their first time doing a cleanup, and they expect to find several dozen scooters underwater.

"Available for the first time digitally, Billy Joel Tonight is one of the earliest official video documents of Billy Joel in concert, recorded live at the University of Connecticut over two nights in 1976. Here, Billy and his band play songs from the recently released Turnstiles, plus favorites from his growing catalog of classic songs." Lyrics: Seen the lights go out Broadway I saw the Empire State laid low And life went on beyond the Palisades They all bought Cadillacs And left there long ago They held a concert out in Brooklyn To watch the island bridges blow They turned...

New Yorkers looking to flee Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s Democratic socialist agenda are being given an open invitation to Florida by one county sheriff, pitching it as “the beginning of a new life.” “If you’re an NYC resident or a great NYPD officer unhappy with the results of tonight’s Mayoral election, let me be the first to invite you into the welcoming arms of Volusia County,” Sheriff Mike Chitwood wrote on Facebook Tuesday night. “To my NYPD friends, if you want to come to work in an organization that is cutting edge, innovating every day, a place where you’re appreciated by...

These videos from Josh Seiter is absolutely perfect. Seems like a dumb thing to do until you realize there is a small group of men doing nearly the same thing, except using it to invade women's spaces. But that's not all. Seiter has also been attending anti-ICE protests in Chicago as a "transnative" who called the protesters to leave his "land."

Introduction In 1997 Ralph Raico published an article titled “Keynes and the Reds.” Raico’s article highlighted John Maynard Keynes’s review of a 1936 book by the British socialists Sidney and Beatrice Webb called Soviet Communism. In his review, Keynes discusses Joseph Stalin’s USSR and concludes: “The result is impressive.” For Raico, a historian in the classical liberal tradition, this statement contradicts the conventional idea that Keynes was a model liberal.

Senate Republican support for eliminating the filibuster is picking up momentum after President Trump invited members of the Senate GOP conference to the White House for a breakfast meeting Wednesday to demand they reform the Senate’s rules in order to reopen the government. Changing the Senate’s rules with a simple majority vote to eliminate the 60-vote threshold for advancing most legislation would be very controversial — so controversial that it’s called the “nuclear option” — but a growing number of Senate Republicans are calling for a review of the matter. As of now, there aren’t 50 Republican senators who would...

---SNIP--- The documents — which were released by the alleged hacker on LeakForum and reviewed by The Daily Pennsylvanian — include internal University talking points, memos about donors and their families, receipts of bank transactions, and personal identifying information. In a message accompanying the data, the group claimed that it gained “full access” to a University employee’s PennKey account and export data on “1.2 million University of Pennsylvania students, alumni, and donors” from University databases

Even as New York City mayoral-race polls started to point to a victory for Zohran Mamdani last night, Andrew Cuomo’s biggest fans refused to give up the fight. One of the most recognizable faces advocating for Cuomo in his final push was Debra Messing, who has spent the past 48 hours posting Islamophobic content and misinformation about Mamdani on her Instagram Story. Messing participated in early voting last week, writing in a post that she opted for Cuomo because “we need someone with experience.” “Our city is too massive, complex, and consequential to have someone 33 years old who has...

A 39-year-old woman is being held in Switzerland after a body was found "severed in two" in France, Swiss authorities said Wednesday. The French woman, who lives in the Swiss village of Sainte-Croix, was "placed in pre-trial detention following her arrest on November 2 by a border guard patrol," police in the Vaud canton of western Switzerland said in a statement. "She is suspected of having set fire to her home and of being involved in the disappearance of her landlord," police said. Multiple sources told the AFP news agency Tuesday that a French woman residing in Vaud had been...

Voters in the Golden State passed Proposition 50, a ballot measure that will allow lawmakers to redraw congressional lines ahead of the midterm elections. The state’s congressional Democrats — including Reps. Jim Costa, Adam Gray, Josh Harder, Doug LaMalfa, Dave Min, Derek Tran and George Whitesides — saw their ratings shift toward more favorable reelection bids following the passage of the redistricting plan, according to the nonpartisan election analyst at the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics. California Republican Reps. Darrell Issa and David Valadao are now rated as being in toss-up races after previously residing in GOP-leaning districts. Their...

@RepThomasMassie Maybe it suggests not alienating independents and shrinking the GOP tent… which has been done through attacks on the non-interventionist liberty wing of the party and by calling the Epstein situation a hoax.

We knew Zohran Mamdani was going to win, and it was to all our horror. At the same time, we deserve to lose that race. If the best we could muster to fight Mamdani’s leftist clown show is Eric Adams, Curtis Sliwa, and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, we deserve to get creamed. Mamdani, like most of the races last night, was declared the winner quickly. He wasn’t at the victory party initially, opting to stay home and watch the returns with his family, but someone did hijack the screen with a hilarious post that read, “Trump is your president,” which...

A second monkey that escaped from a transport truck last week was fatally shot along a Mississippi highway early Tuesday morning as authorities warned that one more primate is still at large. A truck carrying 21 rhesus monkeys overturned in a ditch near Heidelberg, Miss. on Oct. 28. The truck was wrecked and several loose primates were able to escape through a hole in the back door. On Tuesday, Jasper County Sheriff Randy Johnson confirmed that a second monkey was shot and killed by a civilian who spotted it crossing a highway.

Shocking video captured the moment a massive fight broke out between customers at a Texas Bass Pro Shop that was allegedly sparked over a restroom argument. The fists began flying at the outdoor superstore’s grand opening weekend in Odessa around 3 p.m. Saturday, when two men waiting in line for the restroom got into a verbal altercation that quickly turned physical and spread to multiple rowdy customers joining in on the violence, Fox 4 News reported. Investigators found that the confrontation ignited after a man waiting in line with his wife and child became agitated after another individual took too...

At least seven people were killed and 11 were injured when a UPS plane crashed in a colossal fiery explosion — leaving a long trail of flames and destruction — shortly after taking off from Louisville’s Muhammad Ali International Airport Tuesday evening, according to officials and wild footage. Four people on the ground were killed and the three people who were onboard the flight are presumed dead, Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said. The numbers were expected to grow as emergency crews combed the far-reaching scene for additional victims through the night, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear warned. UPS Flight 2976, which...

We apparently are not on a roll with some kind of conservative momentum. Leftist Democrats of the worst kind made inroads into political power yesterday. — NYC elects a radical Muslim. — Virginia threw out all reason and elected radical leftists to the Governorship and Attorney General, who had made violent threats. — Democrats flipped two red seats in MS breaking the Republican supermajority. — in my neck of the woods, Texas senate district 9 is going to a run-off after a DEM bested two Republicans for a plurality of votes. This was surprising as the polling place I revisited...
