Another day, another headline that looks like it’s straight from the satire site, The Babylon Bee. State Street Global Advisors — actually one of the world’s largest investment companies — has announced that henceforth, its leaders will need permission to hire white men as part of the company’s new diversity hiring initiative. “This is now front and central for State Street; it’s on every senior executive’s scorecard,” said Jess McNicholas, the company’s head of inclusion, diversity, and corporate citizenship. State Street Global Advisors is the investment management division of State Street Corporation and the world’s fourth-largest asset manager, with nearly

First merit, then race. Anything else is not just destructive but racist.

My investment advisor team is checking to see if any of my investments are with these racist fools. I will be moving ANY funds that have any connection to them. His initial response was "I don't think so, but we'll do a more detailed look and get back to you.". These are evil, hateful, stupid people.

They are probably setting themselves up for major discrimination law suits after it is determined that they passed over qualified job applicants because of the color of their skin. But who knows these days.

State Street would rather have an underperforming but diverse workforce over a high performing workforce of the best and brightest regardless of race/color. State Street's responsibility is to get the best return on investment for their clients. Not get the award for most diverse workforce at the expense of returns. This policy will result in State Street losing high performing white employees to other firms who will now intentionally be passed over for promotions due to their race. State Street may get their diverse work force but they will lose a lot of clients and goodwill because of the implementation of this racist policy.

My son works in executive recruiting for a huge Texas technology company. Says if you're a highly qualified white male looking for a job, forget it. And if you're already working there looking to move up in the ranks you can forget that too. After 20 years, he's had enough and moving on.

It will be successful is they hire all Asians other skin tones maybe not so much. When State Street goes down in flames at least they can say they were diverse and no whites were hurt in the disaster.

The U.S. electrical grid is ever more vulnerable to a devastating drone attack, according to a chilling joint report released by the FBI, the National Counterterrorism Center, and the Department of Homeland Security. The federal law enforcement bulletin Oct. 28, obtained by ABC News, said a modified drone that crashed near a Pennsylvania power substation in July 2020 was designed to disrupt the electrical grid, IB Times reported. The drone was found atop a building and is the first known drone attack. The July 2020 incident did not lead to any disruptions, but officials believe a drone was likely being used to try to deliberately damage U.S. infrastructure.

This week on MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show,” host Jonathan Capehart responded to a Wall Street Journal editorial directed at him for claiming Glenn Youngkin winning Virginia’s gubernatorial race would be a win for white supremacy. The editorial, noting that Virginia elected Winsome Sears, a black woman, as lieutenant governor, mocked Capehart’s analysis ahead of the election as a “‘racist’ fail.” Capehart argued Sears’ election doesn’t make his assertion wrong .“Whiteness is a hell of a drug. Fear worked, and Youngkin won in a state President Biden won just last year by 10 points,” Capehart stated. “Nice try, but invoking the name of Winsome Sears

I’ve never heard of rapper Travis Scott before today but he was the headlining act at a large outdoor concert in Houston yesterday called Astroworld.

Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe created quite the stir when his campaign hired the Elias Law Group, spending $53,680 on their services. The Elias Law Group is the firm that Marc Elias started earlier this year. Marc Elias is known for taking on cases involving election challenges — he’s represented Democrats in contesting elections. That sparked many to wonder if McAuliffe was already anticipating losing and challenging the victory of his opponent, Republican Glenn Youngkin. It also reminds everyone how McAuliffe has basically been an election truther — “attacking democracy” by making comments questioning Stacey Abrams’ loss in Georgia in 2018.

Alec Baldwin got to play his dream role last week, and unfortunately for an innocent woman, it was a method-acting version of Ted Kennedy. Now, you note that I am mocking a guy whose probable gross negligence killed a lady and maimed a man, and this raises an important question – do we really want to live in a world where our reaction to a tragedy caused by an enemy is not sorrow and compassion but mockery? It doesn’t matter what we want. We do live in such a world, in large part due to the likes of Alec Baldwin.

Former President Barack Obama called on world leaders to save the planet, but he couldn’t quite identify which country he was in. Mr. Obama’s speech Monday at the COP26 climate-change summit is being mocked for his reference to host Scotland as part of the “Emerald Isles,” which is a nickname for Ireland. “Since we’re in the Emerald Isles here let me quote the Bard, William Shakespeare,” Mr. Obama said. “‘What wound,’ he writes, ‘did ever heal but by degrees?’” Observers pointed out Mr. Obama actually committed two gaffes in the same breath. Shakespeare is considered the bard of England—yet another country. Scotland’s bard is poet Robert Burns.

Tacoma, Wash.—A metallurgist in Washington state pleaded guilty to fraud Monday after she spent decades faking the results of strength tests on steel that was being used to make U.S. Navy submarines. Elaine Marie Thomas, 67, of Auburn, Washington, was the director of metallurgy at a foundry in Tacoma that supplied steel castings used by Navy contractors Electric Boat and Newport News Shipbuilding to make submarine hulls. From 1985 through 2017, Thomas falsified the results of strength and toughness tests for at least 240 productions of steel—about half the steel the foundry produced for the Navy, according to her plea agreement, filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Tacoma.

Congress is requiring in its $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that automakers install monitoring systems in their cars to stop drivers from operating their vehicles while intoxicated. The bipartisan package, which is on its way to the president's desk after passing the House on Friday, allocates around $17 billion for the road safety programs. Monitoring systems to stop drunk drivers would roll out in all new vehicles as early as 2026, according to the new legislation. First, however, the Transportation Department would have to assess what the best form of technology is and give automakers ample time to comply. DOT Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Monday that the safety programs included
