Notes from the Resistance
Ben & Jerry’s corporate employees hold protest walkout [More]
I don’t suppose it was over 200 times the EPA’s standard daily dose of dioxin in their ice cream…?
I guess the rope-selling capitalists at Unilever never heard the one about lying down with dogs…

The FDIC will eliminate “reputational risk” from regulatory standards. Since President Obama began “Operation Choke Point,” Democrats and anti-gun financial institutions have weaponized “reputational risk” to de-bank the gun industry. [More]
See? Back and forth, back and forth…

Bill Gates: Within 10 years, AI will replace many doctors and teachers—humans won’t be needed ‘for most things’ [More]
So we need to take immediate steps to reduce projected “guaranteed annual income” costs…

Roku has Rocky & Bullwinkle. [More]
They also have spineless @$$holes working for them who “feel” it’s necessary to be toadies to the demands of “woke” mobsters/cultural Marxists:
For a company that depends on retro TV shows, that’s like confessing they’re racist. Anyone triggered by Rocky & Bullwinkle is more ridiculous than anything ever featured on the cartoon, and deserves to be laughed at, insulted, and ejected.
Woku…
Trevor Noah Suggests ‘Integration’ Of Black & White People Was A Mistake [More]
That’s because racism, like citizen disarmament, is collectivism and Trevor Noah is a genocidal collectivist.
His native “cut the throat of whiteness” South African zealotry is showing through again.
This is what the DSM promotes as a mass cultural influencer. Why?

Can a company keep you from having a gun in your car? [More]
Only if you let them.

Costco shoppers respond as company’s DEI practices fall under scrutiny [More]
Big deal. If they still give them their business knowing Costco’s disarmament policy, they’ll accept anything.
Even if they ignore it, they are still subjecting themselves and their loved ones to the heightened risks of a posted “gun free zone.”
Facial recognition for personalized prices? Kroger’s ‘patently evil’ AI plan ignites a firestorm [More]
Hey, we just want to make sure the privileged pay their fair share.
Patently evil should be no surprise.
And it’s not just the Second they suppress:
Kroger confirmed that it will stop selling assault rifle-themed publications, while noting it would continue to sell other gun magazines. Bloomberg News was the first to report that Kroger is pulling some gun periodicals.

Alex Soros: ‘These people are bullies. And you fight back’ [More]
Anybody else get the feeling this nepo Bond villain never had to settle it one on one with anybody? And this is an interesting admission for a would-be kingmaker who can summon top Democrats to kiss his… ring:
Soros insists that he is a committed European…
The reason America became exceptional is because the Founders rejected all that.
Gun-detection technology has been installed at more than 200 Utah schools… “The test will involve a representative from ZeroEyes, wearing a safety vest and carrying an Airsoft rifle and an Airsoft pistol,” meant to be visible to security cameras inside and outside an unspecified number of Ogden schools, the notice reads. [More]
So, all you need is a trench coat…?
And this promises to be every bit the boondoggle as ShotSpotter…?
I guess when there’s money to spend, actual effective solutions can be avoided.
On the plus side, it ought to give school resource officers plenty of options for hunkering down…

I note some in comments are not only defending but applauding the H-1Bs. [More]
The last thing I have time for is to engage in debates under my own articles, especially since no shortage of posters shielded by anonymity seem to devolve into distractions and confirmation bias-based insults. That said, I don’t like to see some contentions go unchallenged, and I find a lot to be concerned about with some of the observations articulated by Matt Bracken. I had another link by a former HR recruiter explaining scams that H-1B companies engage in, but I guess that was too much free speech for Mr. Musk’s foreign labor-championing X.
Speaking of which, my wife retired after decades as a mainframe programmer, versatile in all the old languages that are still in demand but with an aging pool of qualified IT personnel. She still gets calls for contract openings, and nine times out of ten the recruiter’s English is practically unintelligible. My more tolerant and enlightened betters would say that shows what a dignity-violating racist I am.
I can’t help but recall how The New York Times crowed about Democrat expansion in Virginia a few years back:
“Guns, that is the most pressing issue for me,” said Vijay Katkuri, 38, a software engineer from southern India, explaining why he voted for a Democratic challenger in Tuesday’s elections. He was shopping for chicken at the Indian Spice Food Market. “There are lots of other issues, but you can only fix them if you are alive.”
As with people of all backgrounds, I’ve known a handful of exceptions, people of Indian heritage who are patriots as fine as any I’ve met, but the rule of numbers overwhelmingly results in Grewal and unusual punishment.
Who guards the air intakes down into your billion-dollar doomsday bunker on Kauai? [More]
Costco defends DEI program as other major retailers drop controversial diversity push [More]
That’s bad enough but irrelevant to the reason I won’t join the one that opened just down the road:
At Costco, we don’t believe it’s necessary to bring firearms into our warehouses, except in the case of authorized law enforcement officers. For the protection of all our members and employees, we feel this is a reasonable and prudent precaution to ensure a pleasant shopping experience and safe workplace.
Money that enriches their billionaire chairman enabled Obama and Biden to undermine RKBA. Not that oblivious/disinterested American consumers mind.
Besides, look how much they saved on eggs!
$6.2 Million Paid for a Banana Duct-Taped to a Wall [More]
I was thinking of using this in my Elizabeth Warren piece as another example of how the left wants to see some of the One Percent murdered but either stays silent or embraces the “woke,” but couldn’t really find a place for it without wandering too far afield.
Still, the day may come when covetous and angry eyes turn on those with millions to profligately burn while government policies continue to destroy wealth and relegate more to the hateful desperation that Democrats encourage for political gains.
Health insurance companies have started removing images of their leadership teams from their websites following the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. [More]
Leave it to rope-selling capitalists to suggest this old Stalinist trick.
There are plenty of other ways to find out and the internet is forever.
Self-styled authorities chasing after illusions not only doesn’t work, it’s harmful.

It’s ironic that Jones has essentially been punished for “fake news,” the very thing The Onion exploits for its own profits. [More]
When it’s all said and done, my guess is these gloating (and ultimately humorless) prohibitionists are going to be anything but happy.
Mark Cuban is apparently deleting a bunch of his pro-Kamala posts. [More]
Rope-selling capitalist Mark Cuban employs a tried and true practice of the political left.
I trust he supports them, too?
3DPrinterOS, a cloud-based 3D printing management solutions company, has entered a collaboration with the MIX Lab at Montclair State University to develop an algorithm designed to identify 3D printed gun parts. This partnership aims to enhance safety and regulatory compliance. [More]
So… what? It will refuse to work…? It will report you…? It won’t open the pod bay doors…?

The chief executive of Evolv, the firm behind the Adams administration’s controversial subway gun scanner program, has been fired in the wake of revelations that employees of the tech company engaged in misconduct during business deals, Evolv’s board announced Thursday. In a statement, Evolv’s board said the termination of CEO Peter George is effective immediately and part of an effort to clean house as the company’s stock value has plunged amid the misconduct revelations and several active investigations scrutinizing the firm’s operations. [More]
That you can’t trust a rope-selling capitalist is news?

A sensational report in The Wall Street Journal implies that questioning the integrity of our elections is tantamount to domestic terrorism. [More]
Never let a “greatest threat” meme go to waste.
Everybody knows that the “conservative” WSJ is ultimately controlled by Rupert Murdoch & Son…?

Just so you know where the buck stops on the subversion and perversion, Teen Vogue is owned by Advance Publications, “a private family business” headed by Donald Newhouse, “worth” $14.3B. who inherited the business from his father.
