British Judges Rule Use of Term ‘Bald’
Can be Sexual Harassment
Posted By: Beardo, 5/13/2022 1:49:04 PM
A panel of three judges in the UK have ruled that the term “bald” constituted sexual harassment during an unfair dismissal case. Workers in the UK will now have to be careful about the banter they partake in with their fellow employees, with a panel of judges ruling that the use of the term “bald” was sexual harassment while deliberating an unfair dismissal case. The three ruling members of the panel — who acknowledged their own follically challenged craniums during the ruling — concluded that the term was an insult disproportionally levelled at men, and as such constituted sexual harassment.

Woke Hypocrisy: A User’s Guide

Wokeism is not what it pretends to be. (snip) They want two sets of rules -- some for us, others for them.
For example: Offending them is a terrible thing. It’s so terrible, in fact, that they’ve been trying to make it illegal to hurt their feelings. Yet they can offend us all the time.
They insist that subjective feelings are profoundly important -- important enough to write laws and even base entire societies on. Yet our feelings are routinely ignored, minimized, dismissed, mischaracterized, or forcefully suppressed.
One of the co-founders of the far-left LGBTQ charity Stonewall has accused the group of discrediting equal rights activism by embracing far-left ideology on transgenderism, such as claiming there is no difference between the bodies of men and women. (snip) “All that work is now in danger of being wrecked, Stonewall’s reputation discredited, and its credibility squandered, by trans activists — not all trans people, I hasten to add — who believe they can dictate what everyone is allowed to say and think,” Fanshawe wrote in the Daily Mail.
The far-left abortion activist group Ruth Sent Us says it's main TikTok account, which at one point had more than 20,000 followers, had been "permanently banned" from the platform.
The TikTok page belonging to the group, which has led demonstrations and protests at churches and Supreme Court justices' homes, is no longer active, but a similar account referred to as a "backup" under the handle "RuthSentU" announced the ban of the main page.
"Your account permanently banned due to multiple violations of our Community Guidelines," a screenshot posted Saturday by the "backup" account of Ruth Sent Us TikTok account states.
Blackrock Backs Off

We haven’t written much about Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing, which is one of the evils of our time. Basically, it seeks to force publicly-traded companies to take left-wing policy positions. Perhaps the number one force behind ESG has been BlackRock, Inc., the world’s largest asset manager with $10 trillion under management.
Given BlackRock’s prominence in the ESG movement, this headline couldn’t be more welcome: BlackRock ditches green activism over Russia energy fears.
BlackRock has warned it will vote against most shareholder green activism this year for being too extreme, in a significant u-turn by the world’s biggest money manager.
President Joe Biden and the hardest-working transportation secretary of all time, Pete Buttigieg, are making sure the baby formula shortage – a bona fide public health crisis – gets resolved quickly, just not for American citizens at this time. (snip) “First of all, I must have missed something because isn’t Pete Buttigieg in charge of transportation, the supply chain? Where is he?” Webb said. “Because let’s go to the biological fact here. He and Chasten [Buttigieg] have to have baby formula. I’m guessing that Pete Buttigieg is not out of formula any time soon. Just like those illegal aliens they are letting flood across our border.”
Texas government officials can continue to investigate parents who transition their children to the opposite sex for possible child abuse, the state’s supreme court ruled Friday.
The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) determined that child sex change surgeries constituted child abuse in August 2021 upon prompting by Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, and the DFPS began investigations of families for potential child abuse over treatments their transgender children were receiving in February. An appeals court had previously blocked these inquiries throughout the state, but the Texas Supreme Court ruled the lower court had “abused its discretion.”
A week after the CNN+ streaming service collapsed in April, laid-off employees received a welcome package from the network filled with branded gifts and notes from the failed platform.
Hundreds of CNN+ employees were laid off when the streaming service shut down less than five weeks after launching in March 2022. Days after the mass layoff, a number of former staffers received welcome gift packages from the network, according to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors has adopted a new definition of “woman” that would reportedly allow male-to-female transgender residents to demand inclusion as women in jails, homeless shelters, and domestic violence shelters.
The ordinance, passed by a 3-2 vote on April 26, and ratified on May 10 by the same margin, adopts the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), an international treaty adopted in 1979.

Just in the past few days, news outlet MSNBC hosted two separate women, both of whom addressed the hot-button topic of abortion. Although such a controversial and emotionally-charged subject ought to be approached with diplomacy and discretion, these women were visibly thrilled as they considered the murder of helpless babies. After what we’ve been through with American Democrats, it shouldn’t be surprising – yet it is.
Laurie Kilmartin, a “comedian” known for her appearance on a popular television show, vocalized her fantasy about procreating with the SCOTUS leaker, and then happily killing the child if the leaker turned out to be a conservative.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Saturday led a delegation of Republican lawmakers to Kyiv and met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Video shared by Zelensky shows him greeting the GOP delegation on a street in Kyiv, which remains firmly in Ukrainian control nearly two months after Russia launched its invasion of the country.

Harvard Law professor emeritus Laurence Tribe said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump could face criminal prosecution for espionage while discussing reports that the Department of Justice is investigating Trump’s handling of classified material.
Tribe said, “When we find all of this apparent top secret information finding his way to unsecured boxes to Mar-a-Lago, it’s very encouraging that the Department of Justice isn’t simply asking who packed the boxes, but what did the president then of the United States on his way out of the Oval Office have in mind in taking that information? Did he do anything with it?
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Multiple people were struck in a mass shooting at the Tops Markets on Jefferson Avenue and the shooter is in custody, according to Buffalo Police.
At least 10 people are dead, law enforcement officials told The Associated Press.
Drivers are asked to avoid the area.
Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz first tweeted confirming the shooting: “I have been advised of an active multiple shooting event at the Tops Markets on Jefferson Street in Buffalo.

Brittney Griner had been one of the premier players in the WNBA. She is undeniably a blessed athlete, standing at 6’9” tall with remarkable coordination and agility for such a large athlete. She’s an Olympic gold medalist, a league champion, and has received scores of individual awards honoring her athletic achievements. And along with those physical blessings have come financial rewards as well, with Griner reportedly worth in excess of $3 million.
One might assume that someone like Brittney Griner would have been grateful for her gifts. For her natural size and abilities.
Liberal, Democratic Party-aligned strategists, pollsters, and think tank experts spent six months coming up with the “ultra MAGA” label that President Joe Biden has begun to deploy against Republicans ahead of a difficult midterm election. The Washington Post reported Friday: Biden’s attempt to appropriate the “MAGA” brand as a political attack was hardly accidental. It arose from a six-month research project to find the best way to target Republicans, helmed by Biden adviser Anita Dunn and by the Center for American Progress Action Fund, a liberal group.
In one of the most “wait, what?” moments of 2022, a top Democrat leader in the House has declared that the United States is currently at war. That’s not an exaggeration nor an uncharitable reading of the situation. Apparently, unbeknownst to the public at large, Congress and the White House have managed to enter into a war with Russia without going through any of the constitutional steps to do so.
Truly, nothing surprises me anymore. Perhaps having an 82-year-old as the House Majority Leader isn’t that good of an idea? I’d like to think that someone with more cognitive capacity would at least couch their words instead of just blurting

And it only took days for Republicans to put it T-shirts for fundraising sales.

They refused the vaccine. Now four cadets at the Air Force Academy may not graduate as a result—and could be forced to pay back hefty tuition fees. So far it’s the only military academy imposing such harsh penalties on its cadets, Air Force officials said. The cadets at the Colorado Springs academy also could be prevented from being commissioned as military officers this month because they refused the COVID-19 vaccine. They may also have to pay back thousands of dollars in tuition costs, the Air Force said. The Army and Navy said that as of now, no seniors will be blocked from graduating at the U.S. Military Academy
