'Merit-based hiring' might be 'unfair':
American Psychological Association
Posted By: Beardo, 2/4/2024 12:55:01 PM
The American Psychological Association claimed that "[h]iring the most qualified candidate might be unfair" based on one of its recent studies. The study, titled "Can Selecting the Most Qualified Candidate Be Unfair?," examined people’s perceptions of merit-based hiring after learning more about the socioeconomic status of potential workers. While previewing the results, it argued that hiring the most qualified candidate could contribute to more inequality.

A San Francisco police station was burglarized on Thursday morning, according to a police spokesperson.
The burglary happened Thursday morning at the San Francisco Police Department’s Northern Station, located in the city’s Fillmore district, Robert Rueca, a spokesperson for the department, told SFGATE.
Rueca said police saw a man in a “secure area” of the building, located on the 1100 block of Fillmore Street, around 3:20 a.m. (snip)
The spokesperson declined to say what the suspect has been accused of stealing or how much it was worth, saying only that it was “department issued property.”
A fourth co-defendant in the Georgia case against former president Donald Trump has filed a motion for the court to disqualify embattled District Attorney Fani Willis. (snip) The court filing Monday references when Willis first addressed the affair allegations in January during remarks she made at Bethel AME Church in Atlanta. (snip) Shafer argued in Monday’s court filing that, "The obvious intent of her remarks was to inject and infect the jury pool in Fulton County with unfounded allegations that anyone who dares question her or Mr. Wade’s conduct must have done so for racist purposes."
The far-left New York magazine’s Vulture is crying racism over Taylor Swift’s triumph at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, noting that Swift’s win for album of the year means she “now has more wins in the category than all Black [sic] women combined.”
Vulture played the race card in a post-show analysis — while Taylor Swift has won the top Grammy prize four times, only three black women have won the award — Natalie Cole in 1992, Whitney Houston in 1994, and Lauryn Hill in 1999. (snip) Vulture failed to note that multiple black men have won Grammy’s album of the year award, including Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie,
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ Friday denial of corruption allegations left many questions unanswered, including details about the start of her relationship with Nathan Wade and his prior professional experience. (snip) Here are some questions that remain unanswered ahead of Judge Scott McAfee weighing each side’s claims.
Why did Nathan Wade file for divorce the day after his contract started?
In an affidavit, Wade stated that his relationship with Willis did not begin until 2022, after he was hired. However, he filed for divorce on Nov. 2, 2021 — the day after his contract with the district attorney’s office began.
Andrew Slavitt, the former Biden Administration operative who in 2021 helped conspire to violate my First Amendment rights and make Twitter ban me, has refused to comply with a Congressional subpoena to testify about his actions.
Slavitt’s lawyers told the House Judiciary Committee last Wednesday he would ignore a subpoena ordering him to testify under oath to the committee that day because he “had received a letter from the White House instructing him not to appear.” (snip) In a letter to Slavitt’s attorneys, Richard Sauber, a White House lawyer, said the Biden Administration’s Department of Justice will not prosecute Slavitt - or even bring a civil case against him.
Former President Donald J. Trump predicted in 2019 that sanctuary cities would lead to catastrophe. (snip) "We might as well do what they always say they want. We'll bring the illegals ... to sanctuary city areas, and let that particular area take care of it. Whether it's a state or whatever it might be."
"And let's see if they're so happy. They say, 'We have open arms.' They're always saying they have open arms. Let's see if they have open arms," said Trump.

On Friday, Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis finally admitted to having an affair with the prosecutor she hired to oversee the election interference case involving former president Donald Trump. Despite the admission, she denied the allegations of misconduct, insisting there was no evidence that her relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade impacted the case. (snip) “That raises the obvious and important question: If they had nothing to hide in the first place because they did nothing wrong, then why did they intentionally not tell anyone about it until they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar?”
It’s sticker shock.
A Florida mom of three has been banned from dropping off and picking up her young from a Florida Christian school because she advertises her lucrative OnlyFans account on an oversize car decal. Michelle Cline, 35, told The Post she is now forced to walk her children across a busy street to get them to class — and that some parents want her family expelled from Liberty Christian Preparatory School in Tavares altogether.
“I don’t think it’s right,” she said. “People are going to be offended by all sorts of things, different bumper stickers, whatever. But at the end of the day, this is something that supports my family.”
Gavin Newsom revealed Wednesday that he once witnessed a shoplifter steal from Target without any interference from workers, one of whom blamed the California governor for emboldened criminals in the state before she realized who he actually was. (snip) Newsom said he was on the Target checkout line when he and a store worker saw the thief waltz out of the store with items he didn’t pay for, according to footage posted online.
“I said, ‘why didn’t you stop him,’” Newsom said. “She goes, ‘oh, the governor.’ Swear to God, true story on my mom’s grave. ‘The governor lowered the threshold, there’s no accountability.’
The rodent notorious for his ability to predict the seasons has emerged for his annual Groundhog Day forecast.
The sun rose above the horizon over Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, at about 7:25 a.m. EST Friday, signaling the start of a much-awaited annual event. (snip) Phil's shadow was nowhere to be found as the crowd cheered excitedly. Despite some's hope for continued winter, the groundhog's prediction was clear – a forecast of an early spring.
Over 500 journalists were laid off from news outlets in January, according to a new report released Thursday, as many organizations continue to struggle financially. (snip) The job cuts come after an already bleak year. The news industry shed 3,087 digital, broadcast and print news jobs in 2023 — the highest annual total since 2020, when 16,060 cuts were recorded.
In the last month, dozens of layoffs were announced at outlets including NBC News, Time magazine, Business Insider and The Los Angeles Times — the last of which saw more than 100 employees cut.

Immigration Plan: ‘Have Never Worked
More Closely’ 40 replies
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) celebrated Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) with the reveal of the new immigration plan, adding that the two have “never worked more closely.”
“I have never worked more closely with Leader McConnell on any piece of legislation as we did on this,” Schumer told reporters on Sunday, according to Andrew Desiderio of Punchbowl News. (X) As Breitbart News reported on Sunday, the newly revealed bill had some concessions made on border security along with other glaring red flags:
The establishment authors of the bill have largely hidden its contents — along with many possible loopholes, exceptions, modifications, and caveats
What Excites Biden?
Things are becoming so strange, so surreal, so nihilistic in contemporary America that the chaos can only be deliberate. Chance, incompetence, and accident could not alone explain the series of disasters we now daily witness that are nearly destroying the country. When the ailing and non-compos-mentis president now speaks, he rarely becomes excited about Iranian or terrorist provocations. Biden seems restrained even at Russia’s outlawry in Ukraine. The atrocities of Hamas now earn only measured objections from Biden. He does not seem too angered by the collapse of the border. Nor do the deaths of 100,000 Americans to imported fentanyl earn a loud trademark Biden scream.
No, what
Democrat Schumer: Give me money or else your sons will die in war.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Monday threatened to send US troops to fight Russia unless Republicans agree to his $100 billion world aid bill currently stalled in Congress.
The Senate’s $118.28 billion national security supplemental package allocates $60 billion in military aid to Ukraine.
Schumer said the first vote on the bill is scheduled for Wednesday. (X) Of course, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is on board with this bill.
The Senate Republican’s chief negotiator of the open borders deal appears to be feeling the heat.
In an email sent Sunday night to outside groups and obtained by Breitbart News, Sen. James Lankford’s (R-OK) staff pleads for air cover in support of the Senate border bill. “[I]f you and/or your group agrees that this policy could help at the border today and give the next Administration helpful tools to use, please feel free to share a statement of support with our team that we can amplify,” reads the Sunday night email to recipients.
Michelle Obama has earned her second Grammy Award, now matching husband Barack Obama. Michelle Obama won best audiobook, narration and storytelling for The Light We Carry: Overcoming In Uncertain Times on Sunday, beating out Meryl Streep, Senator Bernie Sanders, William Shatner and Rick Rubin. The win occurred during the 2024 Grammys pre-show, where most of the awards are handed out. Michelle Obama wasn’t in attendance. The former first lady won her first Grammy in the same category for her memoir Becoming. Barack Obama won his Grammys for best spoken word album with Dreams from My Father and The Audacity of
President Joe Biden's foul language continues after he allegedly called Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu a 'bad f****** guy.'
People who have spoken to President Joe Biden are claiming that the 81-year-old leader called Benjamin Netanyahu a 'bad f****** guy' in private conversations, Politico revealed.
Biden's alleged insults come as the U.S. is dragged further into war and conflict in the Middle East. Politico's Jonathan Martin wrote a column on Sunday explaining how Biden, 81, is losing millions of votes amongst young liberals for the United States' support of Israel amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza with Hamas.
King Charles has been diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace announced in a statement this evening.
The 75-year-old monarch has returned to London from Sandringham to begin treatment immediately.
It is not connected with his recent surgery and is not prostate cancer, but medics spotted it when he underwent his medical procedure for an enlarged prostate. The King is understood to have personally informed his sons Prince William and Prince Harry about his condition.
The Duke of Sussex will travel to the UK to see him in the coming days, a source close to Harry said.
DENVER (AP) — In the summer of 2020, Gerard Magliocca, like many during the coronavirus pandemic, found himself stuck inside with time on his hands.
A law professor at Indiana University, Magliocca emailed with another professor, who was writing a book about overlooked parts of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment. He decided he would research the history of two long-neglected sentences in the post-Civil War addition that prohibit those who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” from holding office.
Magliocca posted a copy of his research — which he believed was the first law journal article ever written about Section 3 of the 14th Amendment — online in mid-December of 2020,
President Joe Biden is once again going viral for a gaffe in which he claimed to have met with a long-dead leader of France shortly after taking office in the White House as commander in chief.
While delivering remarks in Las Vegas on Sunday, ahead of the Nevada primary this week, Biden hearkened back to a G-7 meeting in the United Kingdom and a gathering of NATO leaders that took place in June of 2021 in which a conversation about the U.S. Capitol breach on January 6 apparently came up. “I sat down and I said, ‘America’s back’ and Mitterrand from Germany — I mean from France looked at me

Border Bill Because They’re ‘Scared
to Death’ of Trump 18 replies
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that Republicans are opposing the bipartisan border deal because they are “scared to death” of former President Donald Trump.
Schumer said, “It’s a turning point. History is going to look over our shoulders and say did we rise to the occasion. To his credit Mitch McConnell did, but too many Republicans including Speaker Johnson are just scared to death of Donald Trump. Donald Trump has said he wants chaos. Donald Trump has said, well, wait till I become president. That will take at least a year. Ukraine could be gone. The border will get much worse.
Joe Biden on Sunday delivered remarks at a campaign event in Las Vegas, Nevada.
As usual, Biden’s speech was full of gaffes and lies. At one point Joe Biden forgot he was in Las Vegas.
“It’ll take you from here to Las Vegas!” Biden, while in Vegas, said of a proposed high-speed rail line.
At one point Joe Biden bragged about defying the US Supreme Court’s ruling on his unconstitutional student loan bailout. Biden has used a series of workarounds to circumvent the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down his student loan bailout program.
Last year the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against Joe Biden’s student loan relief program

You could just as easily speculate that being a member of a lower socio-economic group gives you an unfair advantage because your only option is to work harder to succeed, whereas a "richer" person could be more inclined to be lazy and less motivated to achieve.
