Basecamp Employees Flee Company
After CEO Rejects Woke Capitalism
Posted By: Black Conservative Voice, 5/4/2021 6:02:45 AM
About one-third of the employees of software developer Basecamp have quit their jobs after the company’s founders asked them to focus on developing software, rather than get involved in politics at work. Basecamp co-founder and CEO Jason Fried told employees that “every discussion remotely related to politics, advocacy, or society at large quickly spins away from pleasant.” “We make project management, team communication, and email software. We are not a social impact company,” Fried added, encouraging employees to focus on their jobs rather than politics while in the workplace.

Viral: 'There Are Bad People In Every Career!' 6 replies
A frustrated police officer whose TikTok message on the treatment of law enforcement went viral told "Fox & Friends" Tuesday that he's "had enough" of the negative portrayal of policing.
Major Kelvin Dingle, operation commander at the Morehouse School of Medicine Department of Public Safety in Atlanta, Georgia, explained what led him to post the passionate video where he proclaimed he's "so tired" of being viewed as bad.
President Biden and first lady Jill Biden visited former President Jimmy Carter and former first lady Rosalynn Carter at their home in Plains, Georgia, on Thursday, Biden’s 100th day in office. The Jimmy Carter Presidential Library released a photo of the visit, and presidential historian Michael Bechloss posted it on social media Monday night.
The photo saw both Bidens appearing to loom large over the Carters who were pictured on sitting on two living room chairs.
All four were pictured without face masks – despite Joe Biden insisting that he wears a mask while outdoors even though he has been vaccinated against COVID-19.

A county Democratic official from Northeast Texas is facing demands to resign after he used a racist slur to refer to South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott following the GOPers rebuttal to President Biden’s speech Wednesday night.
“I had hoped that Scott might show some common sense, but it seems clear he is little more than an oreo with no real principles,” Lamar County Democratic Party chair Gary O’Connor wrote in a since-deleted Facebook post, Fox News reported.
Scott, one of only three Black U.S. Senators and the only Republican, has faced a barrage of racist attacks since his response to Biden’s address to Congress.

‘I Hate White People So Much Its Not Even Funny’ 39 replies
The student body president of Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) was discovered posting extreme, racist, and violent rhetoric on social media, which included advocating for the targeted killings of law enforcement. In one post to social media, the “transgender & non-binary” leader of VCU’s student government wrote: “i hate white people so much its not even funny.”
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is calling on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to “end the charade” and allow congressmembers to speak on the House floor without masks, according to a letter first obtained by Breitbart News.
Boebert in her letter, dated April 30, points to President Joe Biden’s speech he gave in the House chamber Wednesday to a joint session of Congress during which he did not wear a mask, while Pelosi and Vice President Kamala Harris, who sat behind him, did wear masks. All three have been vaccinated.
A Minnesota man has been fined $12 million for helping set fire to a police station during a protest last summer following the death of George Floyd.
Dylan Shakespeare Robinson, 23, pleaded guilty in December to one count of conspiracy to commit arson. He was accused of lighting a Molotov cocktail that another person threw at the Third Precinct headquarters in Minneapolis.
He now faces four years in prison and a whopping fine for the damages to the police station -- a penalty Robinson’s lawyer argues he will never be able to pay.
Joe Biden spoke to 200 people in an address to a joint session of Congress Wednesday night.
Biden’s speech is taking place later than most presidents in recent years because he is feeble and can’t handle a grueling schedule.
The Biden administration is using “coronavirus protocols” as their excuse to pare down the number of attendees to 200 despite the fact that Congress has had several hundred in the House Chamber earlier in the year.

A CNN poll of viewers who watched President Joe Biden’s first joint address to Congress found that 51% of them had a “very positive” reaction — less than the 57% who had a “very positive” reaction to President Donald Trump’s speech in 2017.
Moreover, Biden underperformed Trump even though the audience for Wednesday night’s speech skewed Democratic.
NYPD Officer Anastasios Tsakos, who was killed early Tuesday by a drunk driver in Queens while directing traffic away from an earlier crash, was a father of two and lived in Suffolk County.
He had family in our country and in Greece.
The Tsakos family had moved to their East Northport neighborhood last summer, and neighbors say the 43-year-old lovingly known as “Tasso” was blending in beautifully to the neighborhood.
However, this news was presented by some mainstream media just as a cop killed by an alleged drunk driver and reported her apology.
The ex-con charged with stomping an Asian man into a coma in Harlem claimed the victim attacked him first — and that video of the stomach-churning assault was “a whole lot of bulls–t.”
“Nah, nah, nah,” Jarrod Powell replied when asked why he allegedly kicked Yao Pan Ma, 61, in the caught-on-camera attack on Friday. “I was maced. I was maced and attacked.”
The 49-year-old career criminal then added while being hauled into Manhattan criminal court in handcuffs, “Well, the video will tell you a whole lot of bulls—t.
Randy Quaid may be joining the race for governor of California.
After months of sharp criticism, the state's current governor, Gavin Newsom, will face a recall election, as it was announced on Monday that the signature threshold to trigger such an election has been met.
Reality star Caitlyn Jenner has already announced her own candidacy for the position, and now, Quaid has said that he's interested in tossing his hat into the ring.
The "Christmas Vacation" star, 70, took to Twitter on Tuesday to share his thoughts on the matter.

Nearly 50 percent of Americans polled think that at least some social distancing measures will be permanent. Who can blame them? We have decided to make avoiding disease our full-time job. It’s more important than going to work or seeing your friends. It’s worth destroying the established Western social convention that we be able to see each other’s faces in public.
I’ve got news for you: If you spend all your time worrying about getting sick, you’re sick already. America is having a giant, hysterical, hypochondriacal fit.
(Snip) As a young and healthy person, there is really no upside to vaccination. I’m simply not likely to get the disease.
Facebook was justified in banning then-President Donald Trump from its platform the day after the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, but it needs to reassess how long the ban will remain in effect, the social network’s quasi-independent Oversight Board said Wednesday. The decision to uphold the ban is a blow to Trump's hopes to post again to Facebook or Instagram anytime soon, but it opens the door to him eventually returning to the platforms. Facebook must complete a review of the length of the suspension within six months, the board said.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Wednesday the administration will press ahead with plans to aid Black farmers for the “cumulative effect” of past discrimination by Washington, brushing aside a lawsuit by White farmers alleging discrimination because they are not eligible for a COVID-19 loan forgiveness program for disadvantaged producers. Mr. Vilsack said White farmers “did pretty well” under pandemic relief programs prior to the Biden administration’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, signed into law in March. But he said “socially disadvantaged” farmers need more help due to decades of discrimination.(Snip) A group of White Midwestern farmers sued the federal government last week, alleging discrimination

Looks like Sony Pictures Television won’t be asking Anderson Cooper to permanently take up the Jeopardy mantle any time soon. The silver-haired CNN anchor pulled the least viewers of any guest host since Alex Trebek died of pancreatic cancer last November at age 80. In fact, Cooper scored the smallest audience of any guest host in the show’s history. According to ratings information obtained by The Wrap, with the 53-year-old Cooper at the helm, the long-running series dropped 7% from the week before when Green Bay Packers’ QB Aaron Rogers stood behind the iconic podium.
Police arrested a man who they say is suspected of stabbing two Asian American women without warning Tuesday afternoon in San Francisco's Mid-Market area.
Officers were sent to 4th and Stockton streets shortly before 5 p.m. and found the wounded women, who were taken to a hospital. There was no immediate word on their conditions.
The women were 65 and 85, authorities said.
Witnesses told KPIX-TV that a man clutching a knife was walking down Market Street when he approached a bus stop, stabbed the women, and then walked away.

After four years of an immigration system rooted in destructive and chaotic policies, President Biden is taking the challenge head-on and is building a fair, orderly and humane immigration system; that’s our objective.

However, it appears that the Carters having become Lilliputians, for they are teeny people in a teeny house next to the giant Bidens. Also, Biden’s invariable mask is missing, despite the Carters’ advanced age. (snip) A photo from just two years ago, when White House occupants showed up at George H.W. Bush’s funeral shows the relative height difference between the Bidens and the Carters, with Jill appearing to be almost the same height as Jimmy
