No ‘Loony Heritage Americans’ Need Apply

XBOX CEO Asha Sharma cited the company’s financial health for the layoffs. [More]

And if we can’t believe a financially-incentivized “Indian origin” corporate mouthpiece on this, who can we believe?

But wait! There’s more!

Sharma has been asked to be an advisor to the US Federal Reserve for Productivity and Jobs, where she will seemingly lead a task force related to, ironically, employment.

And the administration can’t do that for other issues because…?

It’s a big क्लब and you ain’t in it.

Time to Show the Servants Who’s in Charge

Horry County HOA bans firearms from shared spaces, raising questions about gun owner rights [More]

“The new rule set by CAMS Management”…? These “Executive Leadership Team” goofballs?

When I was HOA president (ending the reign of OCD under Witless and Titless), we directed the management company, not the other way around.

“Vibrant” and “Diverse” are all you need to know. That and “Comments are turned off.”

I’d think you could make the argument that, as a quasi governmental organization with board elections, HOA rules are subordinate to state law. Residents who care about their rights should get statements from the police and sheriff on if they will enforce the rule.

How to Win Friends and Influence People

Because we’ve seen firsthand how well it works for them.

Jerry Reinsdorf, of course, plays both sides of the field. And Justin Ishbia is a flat-out rope-selling capitalist.

Keep digging.

Cancer Starts Out as Localized Cells

Tradition HOA bans firearms in common areas, sparking debate and pushback from Port St. Lucie official – The new rule applies to everyone, including concealed carry permit holders, and covers parks, trails, and public gathering spaces in the Port St. Lucie community. [More]

The police chief says he won’t enforce it as a criminal action but I imagine if it resulted in a trespassing charge they’d have to get involved.

It sounds like the HOA has its share of idiots besides the ones on the board. I’m talking YOU, Tomasz.

And I’m reminded of Witless and Titless.

America’s Pastime?

Last Friday night at Camden Yards, the Baltimore Orioles had a Tupac Shakur bobblehead night. You remember Tupac? The notorious “gangsta” rapper who was killed in a 1996 drive-by in Las Vegas? Yes, that Tupac, whose life involved gangs, guns, killing, and hard time for sexual abuse. So much for family-friendly nights at the old ballpark. Wholesomeness doesn’t put butts in seats like honoring a dead thug — not in gang-plagued Baltimore, anyway. [More]

At what point are people who go for this sort of manipulation going to realize they’re being used, and by whom?

Oh, look: He donates to Chuck Schumer!

Rope-Selling Capitalists

They’ll just flee to another state when Democrat taxes get too high and continue on. Until the day they find they can’t.

Ozymandias

Ted Turner dies aged 87: Billionaire founded CNN and was married to Jane Fonda [More]

That ain’t the craziest thing he did:

[S]ome, like CNN founder Ted Turner, see an increase in military suicides as “good” because, as he told Piers Morgan (naturally), that will somehow pave the way for a more enlightened United Nations world policeman…

Mark 8:36 comes to mind… as does a favorite poem.

Tales of the Bizarro World

Far Left Anti-Billionaire Group Linked to Bernie Sanders Endorses Billionaire Tom Steyer for Governor of California [More]

The issue never really matters– those are just hooks to bring in disgruntled pawns. The cause célèbre always takes a back seat to the greater goal of conquest through subversion.

When that’s won, the useful idiots will get what’s coming to them.

One Percenter Steyer, of course, wants you disarmed.

He sure is keeping his security measures close to the vest.

Lies of Commission and Omission

A recent news headline declared, “11,500 shootings occurred within 500 yards of US schools last year.” The obvious implication is that American school children are under daily fire on school campuses nationwide. But, as with most gun control narratives in national media written by reporters who mostly don’t understand the basics of firearms or criminal gun use, that narrative collapses under the slightest scrutiny. The first glaring red flag in this story is that Hearst Television Data Visualization Journalist Susie Webb and the WCVB Get the Facts Data Team built their agenda-driven narrative by relying on gun control advocacy site The Trace’s “School-Adjacent Shootings” dataset, which tracks Gun Violence Archive (GVA) incidents that fell within 500 yards of a K-12 school. Even that dataset warns that each row is a shooting-to-school match and must be deduplicated before anyone totals up the incidents, deaths or injuries. However, that was not done before Webb and WVTM’s story went live on several news outlets, on social media, on Hearst Television’s YouTube channel and was even—unsurprisingly—picked up by MSN.
