Former Employee Sues Google For ‘Racially
Biased’ Culture
Posted By: Beardo, 3/21/2022 1:12:36 PM
A former Google employee filed a class-action lawsuit in a San Jose, California, federal court Friday alleging systemic bias against black employees and a corporate culture preferring white males, Reuters reported. The lawsuit, filed by April Curley, says Google places black employees in lower-level jobs, pays them less, and denies them opportunities to grow at the company, Reuters reported. Specifically, Curley states black people make up only 4.4% of employees and about 3% of leadership, according to Reuters. Curley also said Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, required black people to show identification or else face questioning at the Mountain View, California campus, Reuters reported.

The Scandal at Christianity Today
9 replies
Call it the Trump curse. Scandals seem to befall his most moralistic critics — from the activists at the Lincoln Project to journalists like Chris Cuomo to the imprisoned lawyer Michael Avenatti. A new addition to this roster of undone Trump critics is Mark Galli, the former editor of Christianity Today. The publication reported last week that according to its investigators he sexually harassed women for years.
“Eight women alleged that Galli touched them inappropriately" (snip) In 2019, Galli enjoyed a brief spurt of fame after he called for Trump’s removal from office. Galli said that Trump lacked the “morality” necessary to serve in the presidency
Mississippi elementary school assistant principal Toby Price was shown the door last week after, in what the superintendent called “a lack of professionalism,” he read a second-grade class a book called “I Need a New Butt.”
The book, written by Dawn McMillan, is a “silly” story about a young boy’s quest to find a new butt because his “has a huge crack.”
“Will he choose an armor-plated butt?” the Amazon description asks. “A rocket butt? Find out in this quirky tale of a tail, which features hilarious rhymes and delightful illustrations.”
The City of West Hollywood is launching a guaranteed income program that excludes straight people. Here are the guidelines as laid out by the city government’s website: Community members who are interested in applying for the West Hollywood Pilot for Guaranteed Income must reside in the City of West Hollywood, be 50 years or older, identify as LGBTQIA, and have an individual income of $41,400 or less. So if you are straight, if you are not a member of LGBTQIA (and I have no idea what half those letters mean), you should not bother to apply “to receive unconditional monthly $1,000 payments from April 2022 through September 2023.”CORRECTION*
The 28-year-old AOC-backed candidate facing a run-off against centrist Democrat Rep. Henry Cuellar had a long-term affair with her former high school teacher, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
Jessica Cisneros was in a sexual relationship with educator-turned-lawyer John Balli, now 51, and called him 'babe' in a 2011 text professing her love when she was 18 — and he was 41. The ultra-liberal would-be Congresswoman began a sexual relationship with him after he began dating his future second wife Sandra Ramirez in May 2011. But the secret lovers had a painful split when Balli and Ramirez wed in July 2011.
Video of Chasten Buttigieg, the husband of Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, leading a group of children in a modified pledge of allegiance to the gay pride flag went viral late Wednesday.
The video was made at Pride Camp, an Iowa summer camp for gay and transgender high school students where Chasten Buttigieg appeared to work as a counselor. "I pledge my heart to the rainbow of the Not So Typical Gay Camp," Chasten Buttigieg and the campers recited. "One camp, full of pride, indivisible, with affirmation and equal rights for all." After reciting the pledge, Chasten Buttigieg and the campers waved gay pride flags and cheered.
We should have known better. I should have known better. What was billed as the “secure” alternative to Google’s data-siphoning search engine has turned out to be no better at belaying the leftist barrage of downvoting unacceptable speech. What good is valuing my privacy if you don’t value my free speech or my access to all viewpoints?
Joining countless other companies at destroying lives and freedom, DuckDuckGo announced via their CEO’s Twitter feed that the company would begin engaging in, effective immediately, the censorship of articles or sites that promote – gasp! – skepticism at the corporate media’s approved narrative.
A Fortune 500 roofing company celebrated International Women's Day by hosting a talk from a transgender activist who attacked Christians over their "bigotry."
Owens Corning, headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, held a company-wide meeting on Tuesday that included a talk from Paula Stone Williams—an influential evangelical pastor turned transgender activist. An individual who viewed her remarks to the construction company told the Washington Free Beacon that Williams said American Christians are the root of anti-trans bigotry. The International Women's Day conversation also featured discussion of the lack of attention paid to nonbinary people in the workplace.
First, and most importantly, virtually no one in the U.S. has got this right, including conservative outlets and pundits. Putin's a thug, but he's an excellent politician and a strong leader. And he's not crazy, as some seem to surmise. He is a cold, calculating, strategic thinker who has disciplined his mind and body for decades. He's a Russia first guy. Think Donald Trump minus all the hot air and Big Macs, and add a willingness to off his enemies.
We promised Russia we would not expand NATO when the Soviet Union fell.
The California Department of Social Services raided a chain of San Diego preschools and interrogated students as young as 2 over the preschool's compliance with the statewide mask mandate.
The students at Aspen Leaf Preschool, which has multiple locations in the city of San Diego, were grilled by state officials in January in response to a complaint that the school was not following the statewide school mask mandate. The interviews were conducted without any parental notice or awareness.
A Slip of the Tongue in the Supreme Court

When lawyer Sarah Weddington stood up in the Supreme Court on Oct. 11, 1972, to present the pro-abortion argument in the case of Roe v. Wade, she was legalistically careful in the language she used to describe whom exactly an abortion aborted. She avoided normal human terms like "unborn child" or "baby" -- and, most importantly, "person."
She preferred "fetus."
Presumably, this was because the Fourteenth Amendment states, "nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Poland Offer for United States to Start
World War III 11 replies
Ha-Ha-Ha… Oh, the Biden administration is not happy with Poland. Not happy at all.
Earlier this afternoon, Poland called Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s bluff, over the U.S. claims that Poland was going to send fighter jets into Ukraine. This followed Sunday’s announcement where Poland said the U.S. State Dept was lying.
Earlier today, Poland said they would give the U.S. the planes if Blinken and Biden wanted to start World War III, but Poland wasn’t going to help the U.S. create a war with Russia. This put the U.S. in a ‘put up or shut up’ position.

Journalist Lara Logan appeared on the Cowboy Logic podcast and proceeded in an epic rant to expose Ukrainian connections involving those such as Sen. Mitt Romney’s son, retired Colonel Alexander Vindman, the country’s alleged ties to the occult, and its purported history involving the Nazis.The wild ride highlighted her brutally honest and frank opinions concerning Ukraine and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. She didn’t hold back and made one controversial statement after another, tearing into globalists and politicians alike during her rant.Logan began by saying that “no one wants the people of Ukraine to suffer.” Having said that, she then got to the meat of her allegations
Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, has tested positive for Covid-19 and will not travel to Europe with Joe Biden for meetings in Brussels and Poland this week. In a statement on Tuesday afternoon, Psaki said she had met twice with Biden, 79, on Monday but he had tested negative the following day.(Snip)“Thanks to the vaccine, I have only experienced mild symptoms. In alignment with White House Covid-19 protocols, I will work from home and plan to return to work in person at the conclusion of a five-day isolation period and a negative test.” Biden is vaccinated and boosted. Psaki, his chief voice
While Joe Biden doesn’t do much in the way of solving any problems, I do have to say that he’s certainly is active — along with his administration — in spreading propaganda and the Democratic narrative on a variety of issues. We saw how his White House reached out to “brief” about 30 TikTok “influencers” on the Russian war against Ukraine. We later saw the result of that “briefing”, which was about selling why it was Vladimir Putin’s fault that the gas prices were going up, not Joe Biden.
On Monday, according to the White House, Biden met with “16 CEOs of major companies across several industries
President Joe Biden said Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin's 'back is against the wall,' as he said Russia launched a 'hypersonic missile' at Ukraine in part due to the strength of Ukrainian defenses.'They're wreaking havoc on on the, on the Russian military, whether it's their tanks or their helicopters or their aircraft,' Biden said.He spoke after the Kremlin claimed it used its state-of-the-art military hardware to take out a Ukrainian weapons storage facility. The Pentagon on Monday would not confirm the claim. 'And if you notice, they've just launched their hypersonic missile,
Tens of thousands of students at the City University of New York have signed a petition to cancel an opera about Emmett Till, the victim of a high-profile 1955 lynching in Mississippi, saying that the school should no longer host the show because it was written by a white woman. John Jay College of Criminal Justice student Mya Bishop created the Change.org petition in an attempt to halt the continuation of 'Emmett Till, A New American Opera' at the school's Gerald W. Lynch Theatre. In the petition's description, she wrote that the show is all about playwright Clare Coss' 'white guilt' rather than the appalling killing of Till, 14,
A Boeing 737-800 passenger jet operated by China Eastern Airlines has crashed in rural China, presumably killing all 132 souls aboard. Video of the plane nosediving into the ground and the aftermath has emerged.
As is expected with any video of this kind, viewer discretion is advised. Much is unknown at this point, but I am a commercial multi-engine pilot and a flight instructor so I can add a few points of speculation to ponder.
According to the flight data available, the rapid descent started at around 30,000 feet. That would point to either a structural failure that caused a loss of flight controls or a high-altitude stall
More than 100 Seattle Public Schools students walked out of class Monday morning to protest the district’s decision to end the requirement that students and staff wear masks.
Many of those students rallied at district headquarters, the John Stanford Center, to ask Superintendent Brent Jones to reinstate the mask mandate districtwide. Mask requirements for Seattle and most other districts in the state ended a week ago.
A Colorado school district has infuriated parents after announcing plans to ax valedictorian prizes in what they have branded the latest 'equity'-obsessed focus on mediocrity over excellence. 'The practices of class rank and valedictorian status are outdated and inconsistent with what we know and believe of our students,' Cherry Creek School District staffers said in a statement to families last Monday declaring the change.'We believe all students can learn at high levels, and learning is not a competition,' the letter, first reported by KDVR, asserted.
A groveling Disney CEO Bob Chapek on Monday told employees the company should have condemned Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill that blocked the teaching of sexuality and transgender ideology to students in kindergarten through third grade, speaking 24-hours hours before mutinous staff planned to walk out during a day-long strike.
A virtual town hall for employees was used by management to stem internal strife at Disney, as the company’s chief executive continued to apologize and shifted its public statements about the legislation, which critics falsely call the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
In January, Minneapolis Public Schools students stayed home for two weeks as the omicron COVID-19 variant surged and schools shuttered. This month, schools have closed for another two weeks – and counting – because of a teacher strike. (Snip) "I think you are going to see more militant teacher strikes over the next couple of years," said Jon Shelton, a University of Wisconsin-Green Bay professor who studies teachers unions. The heaviest COVID-19 wave is subsiding, but two years of pandemic teaching have taken a toll. Educators are navigating health protocols, staff shortages, students' academic challenges, parents' frustrations and national criticism of how
Elon Musk’s extensive business dealings with China have sparked some alarm on Capitol Hill, with some lawmakers questioning whether Beijing could exploit connections with Tesla and SpaceX to gain access to classified information. Republican lawmakers have expressed concern that the Chinese government could attempt to obtain classified information through third-parties, such as SpaceX suppliers based in China. The US and China are locked in intense competition over space technology and American officials have repeatedly accused Beijing of stealing US intellectual property and trade secrets. Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah), a top member of the House Intelligence Committee, is attempting to hold closed-door briefings to probe whether China’s government
