And the absurdity just keeps coming. The latest organization to act as the speech police for its employees is the Federal Reserve. The Fed’s employees are reportedly being trained to “avoid bias” in their language, including avoidance of terms like “Founding Fathers” and “grandfathered.” (Snip) “Bias-free language recognizes diversity and avoids stereotyping, demeaning, or excluding people on the basis of gender, race, ethnic group, religion, age, ability/disability, or sexual orientation,” the guidance states. (Snip) According to Fox News, a Federal Reserve spokesman claims that “The Federal Reserve has no language directives for employees.”

Comments:

A Federal Reserve spokesman says there are no language directives for employees, however, the Federal Reserve website has a page dedicated to “Diversity and Inclusion” that includes forcing employees to participate in workshops and training that address a variety of topics pertaining to the new guidelines.

Government regulators have been unhappy with the term 'grandfathered' for many years. They avoid it in written form (laws and administrative rules) but heavily use it conversationally.

I don't choose my words on the basis of diversity diktat. If I choose to say Founding Fathers, it is exactly what I mean to say, and I don't give a tinker's damn if you are offended by it. I also refuse to play the pronoun game, and have told fellow workers to grow up when they attempt to push that drivel off on me. I will not consent to that sort of nonsense.

Sorry, but I will continue to refer to the Founding Fathers. There were no women who were in the group who met in Philadelphia to write the constitution. There were women who were influential in the thought that went into it (Abigail Adams and Mercy Otis Warren) but they weren't there and they didn't write it. And whoever thought up that hideous phrase birthing person needs to be mocked for the rest of his or her life.

Words have meaning. the term grandfathered is clear, everyone understands what it means, and using 'legacy' to replace 'grandfathering' is wrong. I am a member of a social fraternity, which gives my sons legacy status, should they choose to join. That means the brothers have to accept my sons, and cannot blackball them. And, #3, it is a tinker's dam (a temporary small obstruction in a creek to provide water for his metal work,) not tinker's damn.

So....it's biased to note that there were no 'founding mothers'? Facts are stubborn things. None of their two centuries late lies change any of the facts of our nearly miraculous founding, and our genius Founding Fathers.

This week, it is being reported the White House is moving forward with removing a health care policy established by President Donald Trump designed to bring down the price of insulin and epi-pens. Biden’s bid to retract the rule was approved on Monday, as reported by Politico, with the expectation that the Department of Health and Human Services could publish the retraction within the coming days. The measure, signed off on under the previous administration in December, aimed to require some 340B community health centers to deliver savings to low-income patients for insulin and epinephrine in a bid to bring down unaffordable prices.

The high profile summit came just weeks after the Obama administration issued a moratorium on the same “gain of function” experiments that Dr. Fauci now claims were never directly funded by his government agency to take place at the Wuhan lab in China. Fauci’s insistence, however, is betrayed by new analysis of the sequence of events and examples of his own staff headlining gain of function events in Wuhan.(Snip)Less than a week before the Situation Room summit, President Obama had declared a new vision for the United States and China in the arena of infectious diseases.

Ohio Republicans are fond of saying that it’s easy to vote, but hard to cheat in the Buckeye state.

After considering the bad optics of armbands, due to negative historic references, the government is allowing the private sector to create a modern method of compliance with vaccination protocols. To enjoy your new freedom the COVID Ministry is working on QR Code wristbands to speed up the vaccination checkpoint scanning process. The wristbands will be connected to a secure governmental database so you don’t have to worry about your travel habits being tracked, and the governmental contractors have promised they will not use the data to monitor citizens.

As soon as government started controlling the behavior of people under the justification of COVID fear, there was a natural conclusion evident to the issues.(Snip)The leftist pattern of framing your demand for individual freedom and liberty as selfish, has permeated throughout the COVID narrative.(Snip)The argument is actually quite silly. If your vaccine protects you from COVID; and if the vaccine actually does do what the government and media tell you it does; then why would you be worried about someone else’s vaccine status? If the vaccine works, presumably you are protected; my not being vaccinated does not increase your risk or pose a threat.

She said the organizers were informed there would be a counter-protest by Black Lives Matter and Antifa and the company that manages the location of the rally would not provide security fencing to ensure the safety of the two groups.

As the pandemic wore into the spring selling season, many troops nixed their traditional cookie booths for safety reasons. "This is unfortunate, but given this is a girl-driven program and the majority of cookies are sold in-person, it was to be expected," said Kelly Parisi, a spokeswoman for Girl Scouts of the USA.

A witness said the eastbound SUV was moving at a high rate of speed as it approached just before midnight, and that the driver appeared to accelerate as they got closer to demonstrators who had blocked off Lake Street near Girard Avenue. The driver struck a vehicle parked across one of the traffic lanes on Lake Street, apparently positioned to protect the crowd. That second vehicle then hit people.

Kamala Harris' problem isn't race or gender though those are the two excuses that she and her supporters have brought out to explain everything from her humiliating failure in the primaries to her humiliating failure on the world stage during her big international trip. But aside from her self-inflicted problems, and there are many of those, Kamala has no constituency. Joe Biden has black voters, but he picked Kamala as a sop to the party's minority base even though she wasn't able to woo black voters away from him during the primary. Strategically that's exactly why he picked her.
