The end of the road for two activist employees with labor complaints against Netflix came Monday. An announcement was made that the labor complaints have been dropped. One of the employees has resigned.
This all has to do with an effort to cancel Dave Chappelle after his latest Netflix special, The Closer, began streaming on October 1. Much has been written about Chappelle, his brand of comedy, and cancel culture since the show’s release. Two Netflix employees filed labor complaints against the company with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). B. Pagels-Minor, a black non-binary program manager organized a walkout. Terra Field, a trans software engineer, was suspended, then brought back

Following the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse last week, a Joe Biden campaign ad from 2020 remerged and began to make the rounds. In it, a picture of Rittenhouse is seen on the screen while soundbites in the background continually mention “white supremacy.” That has led many to wonder if the president himself could be one of the first targets of the defamation lawsuits that Rittenhouse and his lawyers are likely to unleash soon.
Today, the White House was finally asked directly about their view of the matter. Fox News’ Peter Doocy (because no other “journalist” in the room would ever bring it up) asked Jen Psaki if Biden would consider apologizing

President Biden held what we were told was a “press conference” today in which he gaslit the country once again by telling struggling Americans that everything was going to be okay, portraying himself as a hero for all, and not shouldering one iota of the blame for the rising cost of everything including the food items people are buying in order to prepare their Thanksgiving dinners.
In addition to that was the usual generous helping of out and out incoherence, something that has become a staple at any public event where the current Oval Office occupant opens his mouth to speak.
Though this was ostensibly billed as a “press conference,”

There’s an opinion piece in today’s NY Times titled “Everyone’s Moving to Texas. Here’s Why.” Author Farhad Manjoo lives in San Francisco with his family but admits that he often finds himself wondering why.
I’ve lived in California nearly all my life, and it’s still more likely than not that I will remain here; reports of a sudden “exodus” from the state are frequently exaggerated. Still, there’s plenty going wrong — soaring housing costs, devastating poverty and inequality, and the cascading disasters brought about by a change in what was once our big selling point, the climate. Not a month goes by that I don’t wonder what I’m doing here.

President Joe Biden promoted his efforts to lower gas prices on Tuesday, but he reminded Americans they would save more money on gas if they owned electric cars.
“For the hundreds of thousands of folks who bought one of those electric cars, they’re going to save $800 to $1000 in fuel costs this year,” Biden said, referring to the $112,595 electric Hummer pickup he test drove at a General Motors factory in Detroit earlier this month.
The president appeared frustrated that some Americans continue blaming his environmental agenda for higher gas prices, dismissing it as a “myth.”

Charlottesville, Va. — A jury found defendants in the federal lawsuit related to the Unite the Right rally in 2017 liable for four out of the six claims against them, but were unable to reach a verdict on the remaining two claims.
The jury found all defendants liable for civil conspiracy and racial, religious or ethnic harassment. They also found James Alex Fields, Jr., the perpetrator of a deadly car attack, liable for assault and battery and infliction of emotional harm against several of the defendants, claims for which they were cumulatively awarded $12 million in punitive damages.

The New York City Council will vote on December 9 on a law to allow green-card holders and residents with work permits to vote in municipal elections.
Around 808,000 New York City residents who have work permits or are lawful permanent residents would be eligible to vote under the legislation, which has the support of 34 of 51 council members, a veto-proof majority.
“It’s important for the Democratic Party to look at New York City and see that when voting rights are being attacked, we are expanding voter participation,” Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez, a sponsor of the bill and Democrat who represents the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, told the New York Times.

All last week the scuttlebutt in the media and in Washington was that President Biden was leaning toward appointing progressive favorite Leal Brainard to replace the “dangerous” (in Lizzie Warren’s words) Jerome Powell as chair of the Federal Reserve, because Brainard pledged to make the Fed a full partner in pushing the climate and “anti-racist” agenda by pressuring financial institutions not to make loans to any fossil fuel companies. Never mind that the legal authority for this kind of thumb-on-the-scale of capital allocation cannot be found in any statute governing the Fed, but who needs statutory authority when you have the Administrative State?

The story of Darrell Brooks, who rammed his SUV into a parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, two days ago, killing at least five people and injuries dozens of others, is beginning to recede. The media simply don’t find the story that interesting, because it checks none of their narrative boxes. Instead, they are falling back into breathless Kyle Rittenhouse “analysis,” seeking to stoke a racial narrative that simply doesn’t exist.
By contrast, Brooks was a career criminal who was inexplicable let out of jail on just $1,000 bond days earlier. That decision was made by the office of Milwaukee DA John Chisholm, a radical

The Florida legislature will pursue providing $1 billion in gas tax relief in the next session, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announced on Monday.
Speaking in Daytona, Florida, from the iconic convenience store Buc-ee’s, DeSantis laid out the negative economic state of affairs for the American people.
“We’re happy to be here. We’re not as happy at seeing what’s happening with a lot of the inflation that is going on in the economy. If you look, for example, for Thanksgiving, the price of a Thanksgiving dinner is up over 20 percent just over last year,” he said, noting that — even with raises — people are losing ground

One of the big takeaways from Kyle Rittenhouse’s interview with Tucker Carlson, which aired Monday night, was that he and his lawyers were gearing up to stick it to the liberal media and the radical politicians with defamation lawsuits. He wouldn’t go into detail, but it was clear he was setting the groundwork for what many, included Nicholas Sandmann, were urging him to do.
Along with calling the liberal media’s comments about him a “disgrace to this county,” Rittenhouse teased what his legal team was working on after Carlson asked him pointedly about the possibility of “holding some of these liars to account, do you plan to do that?”

Over 90% of the more than 3.5 million federal workers covered by President Joe Biden’s Covid vaccine mandate will have received at least one dose by the government’s deadline, White House coronavirus response coordinator Jeff Zients said at a briefing Monday.
The “vast majority of those employees” are fully vaccinated, meeting the Biden administration’s Nov. 22 deadline for all federal workers to complete their Covid shots, a senior administration official wrote in an email to CNBC. The federal workforce has reached 95% compliance with the requirement between those who have received at least one vaccine dose and employees who’ve filed for an exception or a deadline extension, the official added.
