Biden administration unveils plan to root
out ‘racial inequality’ in government agencies
Posted By: Ribicon, 4/14/2022 10:06:39 AM
The Biden administration on Thursday unveiled hundreds of strategies across several federal agencies aimed at addressing what it says is racial and gender inequity in the federal government. A senior administration official said the initiative is the first major assessment of how government policies have allowed “inequality to fester,” including ways they said the government has blocked underserved communities from government services. “This is about getting under the hood in every agency,” the official said. The plan outlines more than 300 different strategies and commitments by more than 90 federal agencies, including the Justice, Defense, Energy and Labor departments. For example, the Justice Department will offer more language-accessible programs

The White House has quietly resumed its after-dark charter flights of underage migrants to a suburban airport north of New York City—after a Post expose led to their suspension last year. The Post watched as a group of migrant teens got off an Avelo Airlines plane that arrived at the Westchester County Airport near White Plains at 9:25 p.m. Thursday. The group then boarded three waiting buses that drove off about 50 minutes later. One bus traveled to the Walt Whitman Service Area in Cherry Hill, NJ, just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia. After the bus pulled up at around 12:45 a.m. Friday, several teens disembarked,
Transgender and gender-questioning teenagers are more likely than their peers to engage in risky sexual behavior, commit suicide and be the victims of bullying, according to new medical research.
The study by Vanderbilt University researchers Gilbert Gonzales and Cameron Deal found that transgender and questioning teenagers reported experiencing bullying, sexual and dating violence, mental health problems, suicidal tendencies, risky sexual behaviors, and drug and alcohol abuse at higher levels than that of their peers.
And more transgender students reported these health disparities than their gender-questioning peers.(Snip)Of the 197,149 teenagers surveyed, 96.6% said they identified with the gender of their biological sex. Only 1.8% of high school students
When his father went missing in Chicago last week, Alford Lew felt helpless living 2,000 miles away on the West Coast. He created a Facebook page to spread the word about his father, Jin Yut Lew, seeking any information about about the 61-year-old who was last seen driving from his other son’s South Loop home. By the weekend, people who saw the page helped the family track down Lew at Stroger Hospital, where he had been admitted as a “John Doe”following a brutal beating near Chinatown. Jin Lew had been “carjacked, robbed, brutally beaten and left for dead,” his son wrote online. Lew was “incoherent and bleeding
Sen. Ted Cruz is seizing on a moment at the end of President Biden's speech on the supply chain Thursday where he turned around and stuck his hand out as if to shake hands but there was no one behind him.
After realizing there was no one to shake hands with, Biden stopped, looked around for a moment and then walked off the stage. Cruz, R-Texas, quoted the clip and added a wide-eyed emoji. Biden visited Greensboro, North Carolina, to see North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University as part of an effort to apply pressure on Congress to approve the Bipartisan Innovation Act,
A New Jersey man repeatedly ran over a woman in a ruthless road-rage attack, shocking video shows. The harrowing footage captured Tuesday by a witness in Elizabeth shows the moment Vincent Jean, 56, drove his silver Mitsubishi SUV over the 23-year-old victim after they had a minor traffic accident nearby, Union County authorities said Wednesday. Jean, of Elizabeth, tried to flee after the fender-bender, but then took aim at the young woman as she tried to take pictures of his SUV so she could identify him to police, Union County Prosecutor William Daniel said in a statement. “At that point, the suspect drove his car directly
German investigators on Thursday said they had arrested four members of a far-right anti-lockdown group for planning violent attacks, including a plot to kidnap the country's health minister. The suspects from the 'Vereinte Patrioten' (United Patriots) group are accused of 'preparing explosive attacks and other acts of violence' as well as the 'kidnapping of well-known public figures', prosecutors in Koblenz said in a joint statement with the Rhineland-Palatinate police.(Snip)The main aim of the group was to 'destroy power supply facilities in order to cause a prolonged nationwide blackout', the investigators said. 'This was intended to cause civil war-like conditions and ultimately overthrow the democratic

Two women at New Jersey's only all-women's prison have both fallen pregnant after having sex with a transgender inmate. The pregnant women, who were not identified, are housed at the embattled Edna Mahan Correctional Facility, in Clinton, which New Jersey Governor announced plans to close last year.(Snip)It is unclear if the women had sex with the same transgender inmate, or if it was two different inmates. Edna Mahan houses 27 transgender prisoners, and over 800 women altogether. It is also unclear how far along the two inmates are, and whether they plan to continue with their respective pregnancies. An investigation has been launched.

Secret Service agents were outraged last year by the White House’s attempt to downplay bite injuries caused by then-first dog Major—even trying to get President Biden to personally pay for a coat destroyed by then-first dog Major Biden, newly released documents show. Secret Service leaders also sought to keep attack details out of official paperwork—at one point rejecting an agent’s “excessively detailed” account to avoid upsetting the first family—after Major bit agents on eight consecutive days.(Snip)The March 8 bite actually was the final attack in an eight-day streak and the wounded agent—whose injuries were categorized as “severe” by a colleague—fumed
An antisemitic New Jersey man went on a shocking hours-long crime spree targeting Hasidic Jews—having warned his family to expect “a blood bath,” according to police documents. Dion Marsh, 27, was charged with three counts of attempted murder as well as bias intimidation for allegedly running down two men and stabbing another in the chest on Saturday, Ocean County prosecutors said. The spree started with a violent carjacking in Lakewood Township just after 1 p.m.—and only ended nearly 10 hours later when he was arrested at home in Manchester, prosecutors said. Two of his victims—including an Orthodox Jew who was stabbed—were listed in critical but stable
Laurel, Miss.—An umpire is recovering Monday after she was punched in the face following a softball game. Moments after that confrontation, a Laurel mother was arrested and charged with simple assault. Saturday night. Kristie Moore says she was filling in, calling a 12-year-old softball game after one of her umpires got sick. She’s been calling games for 10 years. One of the moms was allegedly cursing so badly during the game that she was asked her to leave. Eventually the coach made the mom leave, but instead of going home, Kiara Thomas allegedly waited for Moore after the game.(Snip)

Crime, not COVID, killed my retail business
20 replies
When I first opened my shoe store last year, I thought that small businesses had made it through the worst. Both in Minnesota and across the nation, COVID-19 cases were starting to drop, and a sense of normalcy was slowly returning. But a new epidemic destroyed my business in just a few months: retail theft. Despite investing thousands of dollars into my store in Little Canada—which included state-of-the-art security measures—I became victim to a spree of brazen burglaries that saddled my family with mounting debt. In just six months, five robberies alone have cost me $30,000 worth of merchandise and caused me to close

Abigail Disney inherited her fortune from her famous family, which built an empire on selling the public an idealized version of Main Street, USA. Now the left-wing heiress is trashing the same ideal in a new documentary in which she calls the American Dream a “nightmare” for most people.The American Dream and Other Fairy Tales, which premiered this year at the Sundance Film Festival, examines the pay gap of Disney employees — focusing on wage earners, or “cast members,” at Disneyland, some of whom say they are unable to afford sufficient food on their pay.
ROME, Italy — Pope Francis accused the West of racism Friday, insisting migrants are “subdivided” by skin color and country of origin.“Refugees are subdivided,” the pontiff declared during a lengthy Good Friday interview on Italian television. “There’s first class, second class, skin color, [whether] they come from a developed country [or] one that is not developed.”“We are racists, we are racists. And this is bad,” the pope stated. As he has done on other occasions, Francis compared the current problem of migrants and refugees to the flight into Egypt of Joseph, Mary, and Jesus when King Herod was seeking to kill him.
Multiple Democrats on Capitol Hill are worried about the ability of one of their longest-serving senators, Dianne Feinstein, to continue serving in Congress, a new report suggests on Thursday. Feinstein, 88, had long been renowned in Washington for an issue-focused passion and quick wit -- but one California Democratic lawmakers told the San Francisco Chronicle there was 'no trace of that' in recent months.

The Russian people know little about Putin’s war on Ukraine because Putin has blocked their access to the truth, substituting propaganda and lies.
Years ago, pundits assumed the internet would open a new era of democracy, giving everyone access to the truth. But dictators like Putin and demagogues like Trump have demonstrated how naive that assumption was.
At least the US responded to Trump’s lies. Trump had 88 million Twitter followers before Twitter took him off its platform – just two days after the attack on the Capitol, which he provoked, in part, with his tweets. (Trump’s social media accounts were also suspended on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitch and TikTok
Tony Dungy, the first black coach ever to win a Super Bowl, might have escaped notice this week had he merely supported Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s “Responsible Fatherhood Initiative.” His real sin was to explain why.
Dungy, a Christian father or eleven, recounted a conversation he had years back with the Rev. Abe Brown about Brown’s prison ministry. At Brown’s request, Dungy accompanied him to prison. Expecting to find hardened criminals, Dungy found instead “19- and 20- and 21-year-old kids who looked like my boys.” When Dungy asked what accounted for the young men’s incarceration, Brown told him, “(snip) Ninety-five percent of these boys did not grow up with their dad.”
The Oracle of Oakland has done it again. Asked about anger at the Biden administration over inflation, putative Vice President Kamala Harris answered Wednesday: “Well, first of all, I acknowledge one must acknowledge, um, that prices are going up. And that people are working hard. And in many cases are worried about whether they can get through the end of the month and make it all work.” Indeed, one must acknowledge these things, just as one must acknowledge that there is a sun in the sky and that water can tend to be wet. It seems as if every time she opens her mouth, the ostensible vice president

Another day, another instance of President Joe Biden making stuff up, and another reason for Americans to be mortified. No, folks, this isn’t some sort of nightmare you’re in, one that you can’t wake up from. This is really happening.
During an appearance yesterday at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical University in Greensboro, Biden gave a speech about the importance of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). As is so often the case with the president, he went off-script again and just totally lied about his past.
New York Times columnist and – we’re constantly reminded – Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman says that inflation, which hit another new high this month, will soon abate. Why? Because, he wrote on Tuesday, “Lumber prices have plunged in recent weeks. Prices of industrial metals such as copper are coming down. Prices of used cars are still very high, but their surge has stalled and they may have peaked.”
Oh, wait. That was from a column that Krugman wrote in June 2021. [snip] What Krugman actually wrote this Tuesday was that “inflation will probably fall significantly over the next few months.”
Why? Because, he now says, oil prices have moderated and retailers are
Pundits skeptical of or even hostile to Ukraine’s cause in its defensive war against Russia have different reasons, or rationalizations, for their views and hail from different points on the political spectrum. But there is one belief that unites nearly all of them: the conviction that Ukraine is not a democracy fighting for its survival but an American “Deep State” project, with a regime installed by a 2014 coup that was led by Ukrainian far-right extremists and backed or even engineered by the U.S. State Department.

The White House on Thursday said there were no plans to send President Joe Biden to Ukraine, despite the president again expressing his willingness to go.Biden was asked by reporters Thursday during a trip to North Carolina if he was prepared to travel to Ukraine to signal his support for the country during Russia’s invasion.“Are you ready to go?” he asked reporters.When reporters replied by asking the president if he was ready to go to Ukraine, Biden replied, “Yeah.”But White House official Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich said that there were “no plans” to send Biden to Kyiv, Ukraine “at this time.”
Comments:
The most fundamental value of the federal government is to despise and diminish White people, so reworking the agencies to resemble the DMV or a post office branch makes a lot of sense, especially when it will waste a staggering amount of money that will be printed from thin air. Meanwhile, these agencies should enjoy it now because they'll all be shut down or hugely scaled back eventually; it's just a shame that no one will do this before the eventual crash.
