Daniel Alman from Squirrel Hill @DanielAlmanPGH Instead of firing #RachelZegler, #Disney should issue a public statement saying that it was wrong for them to fire #GinaCarano, and that it's wrong to fire anyone for something that is not related to their job performance. #CancelCulture #Woke #News #StarWars #SnowWhite #Trump 6:02 PM · Nov 14, 2024

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are tasked with cutting down the $6,750,000,000,000 that the federal government spent in 2024 under their new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The group will work outside the government to “dismantle bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures and restructure federal agencies,” according to a statement from President-elect Donald Trump. John Hart, CEO of watchdog Open the Books, which monitors fiscal waste, told The Post they will curb “spending that has been on autopilot where there’s no real thought or purpose behind it.” Finding areas to cut isn’t hard — many jaw-dropping examples are revealed...

Actress Susan Sarandon claims she was blacklisted from Hollywood because of her antisemitic statements in an interview with the Sunday Times. In November, Sarandon joined a pro-Palestinian rally in New York City, where she stated that “a lot of people were afraid of being Jewish at this time and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country, so often subjected to violence.”… Sarandon said in the interview that after her statements from the rally were publicized the fallout was immediate, “I was dropped by my agency, my projects were pulled,” she says....

President-elect Donald J. Trump is sending signals to the military brass. They’re going back to protecting our country, killing our enemies, and enhancing our national security. The era of woke nonsense and sensitivity training is over. The Wall Street Journal first reported on Trump’s plans for the Pentagon, alluding to the “chilling” effect it could have on the officer corps, but the president-elect has a mandate and should use it. The reported executive order would create a “warrior board” of retired generals and other senior personnel who would review the leadership qualities of the officers in question. There’s no re-election...

For many years, Republicans portrayed colleges as bastions of leftism, awash in bias against conservatives and impervious to change.With Donald J. Trump’s victory to a second presidential term and a Congress potentially under unified G.O.P. control, Republicans are now poised to escalate their efforts to root out what they see as progressive ideology in higher education.The return to power of Mr. Trump comes at a vulnerable moment for higher education. Universities have been under increasing pressure from lawmakers, while public confidence in colleges has fallen. Last year, two Ivy League presidents resigned following their widely panned performances before Congressional panels...

Video Trump's Plan to Take Back our Educational Institutions

*Americans had the opportunity to elect Kamala Harris. And we had failed to live up to her. *[A]s Michelle Obama told us, we were not good enough for her. *Perhaps one day we will be. And Harris, along with Hillary Clinton, can wait in the wings, sipping chardonnay and listening to selections from Oprah Winfrey's book club until we show that we are ready for them to finally come and save us from ourselves. Decades may pass. Even centuries. But surely one day Americans will finally be ready for a completely inept president. *Herds of angry liberals wander the aisles...

Morning Joe” co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough painstakingly read out New York Times opinion columnist Maureen Dowd’s entire editorial on how “identity politics” killed the Democratic 2024 election bid.

An elderly white woman was charged with a hate crime in Washington state for allegedly assaulting two Donald Trump-supporting Hispanic women. The unnamed 82-year-old was arrested Monday on suspicion of committing a hate crime, though formal charges had not yet been filed, the Edmonds Police Department told KOMO News. Bodycam footage shows the octogenarian telling police, “I approached her, and I said, ‘I want to know why you’re voting for Trump.’ That’s the only thing. And I said, ‘Because you’re brown-skinned.'” Trump supporter Gina Powell said the elderly woman got in her face, questioning her race and beliefs, as she...

They tried to shock us! They called him a fascist, even the maximum evil: a Hitler. They did that. Over and over and over again. Facts: He might be not the most polite person at times. He did tweet not most pleasant tweets. But he is seen as authentic, transparent. And most did not take mainstream media's interpretation of his words in his colorful style. The people were not shocked. In turn, the media is. VS the 'plastic' Harris and screeching woke mob, the hypocrites. Those who sing the 'freedom' banner only for some. But denigrate whoever is not toadying...

In an interview with Israeli journalist Ilana Dayan on Galei Tzahal, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman blamed US President-Elect Donald Trump's victory on the progressive and anti-Israel left. Friedman told Dayan that the main reason for Harris's defeat was the "woke progressiveness," as well as the fact that as early as October 8th, a day after the massacre, college students were already protesting Israel. Regarding Trump's future policies on the Middle East, Friedman says that one must remember that Miriam Adelson gave millions of dollars to Trump's campaign, so there should be no expectation that Trump will promote a...

Going into the election I was told by a whole lot of people why what I was prioritizing was dumb. Why do you care about that? It’s a fringe issue. Covid is over. Boys in girls’ sports isn’t happening. There are so few trans kids why are you making this an issue? (Subtext: you’re an idiot influenced by far Right loons spouting off about this. You can’t think for yourself. You’re a bigot to the core, and you follow any fear mongering stuff put in front of you. I don’t know what happened to you, Jen.) Here’s what happened. No...

Retailers are facing a tough equation as they head into the all-important holiday shopping season — this time over DEI initiatives. Companies are bracing for blowback related to policies around diversity, equity and inclusion and are hoping to avoid alienating customers who may deem the brands too woke – or not woke enough. Some are tapping outside advisors for advice on how to avoid criticism, while others are opting out of public events on the topic as backlash against equity and inclusion programs grows in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election. CNBC spoke with a number of retail industry...

Has MSM forgotten the not so ancient Biden's trophy pride DEI judge (KBJ) who couldn't define who a woman is? But, in a complete 180 degrees turn, they sure know now as using it to attack GOP. Were they all lying then? - rhetorical question. Or is "progressive" now redefined? Woke vs new progress ?

New Yorkers can now cross the street outside the crosswalk or against the traffic light without being ticketed by police.​ Jaywalking is now legal in New York City after a bill passed by the City Council last month officially became law. New Yorkers can now cross the street outside the crosswalk or against the traffic light without being ticketed by police. The city council moved to decriminalize the act after city data showed that Black and Latino pedestrians were disproportionately targeted by police. More than 90 percent of the jaywalking tickets issued last year went to Black and Latino people,...

Reprinted with permission from Tablet magazine. In the September debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, Trump said something so ludicrous that many viewers must have dismissed it out of hand. “She did things that nobody would ever think of,” Trump said, while rattling off a list of some of the vice president’s most radical “Now she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison.” The idea that the vice president “wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison” seemed so patently absurd that The New Yorker’s Susan Glasser cited it in...

Arnold Schwarzenegger announced he will be voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election. The former Republican governor of California shared his shock endorsement on X Wednesday. 'I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians,' the actor wrote. Despite that, the Terminator star, 77, said that it's time for the country 'to move forward,' and that 'the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.' 'We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that...

As vice president, Kamala Harris often tried to use government to target racism and sexism.Paging through intelligence reports just weeks after she was sworn in as vice president, Kamala Harris was struck by the way two female foreign leaders were described. The reports used adjectives that, in her view, were rarely used to describe male leaders. Ms. Harris, the first woman to hold her office, ordered up a review that scrutinized multiple years of briefing reports from various intelligence agencies, looking for possible gender bias. The study found some questionable word choices but no widespread pattern, according to a senior...

Unconventional college funds LGBTQ and DEI programs amid budget cuts, layoffs A private Massachusetts liberal arts college which openly touts its embrace of progressive concepts continues to grapple with big budget deficits. The budget woes have not stopped campus leaders from funding programs advancing LGBTQ and DEI concepts amid laying off employees and slashing departments. Hampshire College, which made headlines years ago when it took down the U.S. flag to promote multiculturalism and more recently offered Florida students wanting to flee from Gov. Ron DeSantis streamlined enrollment, is currently laying off 9 percent of its staff to close a budget...

EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — Boeing reported a loss of more than $6 billion in the third quarter and immediately turned its attention to union workers who will vote Wednesday whether to accept a company contract offer or continue their crippling strike, which has dragged on for nearly six weeks. New CEO Kelly Ortberg laid out his plan to turn Boeing around after years of heavy losses and damage to its reputation. In remarks he planned to deliver later Wednesday to investors, Ortberg said Boeing needs “a fundamental culture change in the company.” To accomplish that, he said, company leaders need...
