Disney VP Takes Leave of Absence After
Date with Undercover Reporter for James O'Keefe

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 6/22/2024 1:23:13 AM

James O'Keefe released his latest undercover report yesterday, this one featuring a senior VP at Disney who spilled the beans on the company's DEI hiring practices. Michael Giordano went on a date arranged though an online service and got a lot more than he bargained for. His date was working for O'Keefe and prompted him with questions about what DEI looks like behind the scenes. Giordana said he'd personally applied for many jobs during his 11 years at the company and has seen more diverse candidates with less experience get the promotions. He says one of his friends in HR told him, "Look, nobody else is going to tell you this,

Wow, how did O'Keefe get one of his associates chosen through online dating? Like a needle in a haystack. I feel sorry for Giordano, but if what he said to a total stranger is just the truth, then he doomed himself. He will probably sue, but it is good to see that Disney is continually being exposed,

It seems for the last decade or two that everything Disney touches turns into crap. Where are the stockholders, they've got to be pulling their hair out. Bomb after bomb and what does Disney do, it doubles down on the garbage. Sounds like the description of insanity.

I feel for the guy. Snagged in the honey trap; career over. He didn’t say anything wrong. He was just honest. But, then, 99% chance he’s a leftist who voted for Democrats, and so he needs to enjoy the bed he made.

It's amazing how easy it is for O'Keefe to stick a clock key into the Leftist's Wazoo, wind them up and then listen to them blab blab blab. What Maroons, Hat tip to Buggs Bunny, the smartest dude west of the Atlantic!

Anyone who has worked for a large corporation in the last decades knows this to be the truth. Particularly those companies with government contracts.

Yesterday in Los Angeles, hordes of pro-Hamas protestors, many of them masked, descended upon one of the most Jewish neighborhoods in America and attacked a synagogue. In the ensuing battle, many Jews were bloodied. The LAPD was conspicuously absent both before and during the attack. Today, a Jewish Democrat in Los Angeles wonders what happened. If he were wise, he’d realize that the Republican party is the answer. Sadly, I’m betting he’ll still vote for Joe. Monica Showalter has written about the terrorism in Los Angeles, so I don’t need to repeat that here. What I want to focus on is one Jew’s slowly dawning realization

WASHINGTON — WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange plans to plead guilty to a conspiracy charge this week as part of a plea deal with the U.S. Justice Department that will allow him to go free after spending five years in a British prison, according to court documents. Assange was charged by criminal information — which typically signifies a plea deal — with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense information, the court documents say. A letter from Justice Department official Matthew McKenzie to U.S. District Judge Ramona Manglona of the U.S. District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands said that Assange would appear in court

A violent protest outside a Los Angeles synagogue sparked condemnation from President Biden and others Monday and prompted new debate over what some consider escalating behavior during demonstrations over the war in Gaza. The protest began Sunday afternoon at the Adas Torah synagogue in the heavily Jewish Pico-Robertson neighborhood but eventually spilled into nearby areas over several hours with fights breaking out between pro-Palestinian demonstrators protesting a real estate event and supporters of Israel. Law enforcement sources said more than 150 people converged on the temple on West Pico Boulevard, and it took time for the Los Angeles Police Department to get enough personnel to the scene. The LAPD eventually

Princess Anne has suffered minor injuries and a concussion following an incident at her country home, Buckingham Palace announced Monday. Anne, who is the 73-year-old sister of King Charles III, was hospitalized but is expected to make a full recovery. The incident at the Gatcombe Park estate happened on Sunday evening. "Her Royal Highness remains in Southmead Hospital, Bristol, as a precautionary measure for observation," Buckingham Palace said in a statement, adding that "The King has been kept closely informed and joins the whole royal family in sending his fondest love and well-wishes to The Princess for a speedy recovery."

The Supreme Court will hear the Biden administration’s challenge to a Tennessee law banning gender-transition procedures for minors, inserting itself for the first time into the heated public debate surrounding the government’s role in protecting children from experimental procedures that come with lifelong medical consequences. The Supreme Court announced on Monday it will hear United States v. Skrmetti, a case brought by multiple transgender plaintiffs and their families against a Tennessee law prohibiting minors from receiving puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and invasive transgender surgical procedures.

Joe Biden’s campaign planned to bury Donald Trump in an avalanche of cash. Instead, his allies are bracing for a slugfest without the benefit of a fatter wallet, as financial reports showed Trump outraising Biden in back-to-back months, hauling in huge sums after his 34 felony convictions and erasing Biden’s longstanding financial edge. Democrats in recent days largely downplayed Trump’s new financial lead in the same way Trump’s allies had when Biden was running ahead in the money race — saying the president would have enough money to compete. But privately, several Democratic strategists and donors were reeling.
ESG: Headed For the Ash Heap Of History? 9 replies
Posted by Dreadnought 6/24/2024 1:01:58 AM Post Reply
Environmental/Social/Governance (ESG) investing is one of the most repellent fads of recent years. Happily, the Telegraph reports that a decisive turning point may have been reached: “How the ‘woke capitalist’ gravy train came to a juddering halt.” First, some history: While the acronym only rose to prominence in the City in the last five years, ESG has been around for far longer. The term was first coined in 2005 in a UN report called “Who Cares Wins”, which argued that companies where bosses behaved ethically would deliver better returns for shareholders. That could be true, although I can’t imagine how you could demonstrate it empirically.

Tyler Cherry, the newly appointed White House communications official, has apologized for some of his past tweets, which included a post that compared police to “slave patrols.” Tyler Cherry found himself in the center of a social media firestorm over the last week when past posts resurfaced that featured him espousing extremist rhetoric. It came after he had been promoted to Associate Communications Director in the Biden administration. Per Newsweek: The controversy erupted shortly after Politico reported Cherry’s promotion from his previous role as communications director at the Interior Department.

To listen to the Biden administration, the situation with electric vehicles is going swimmingly. People love them. Government subsidies make them more affordable. As a bonus, you get the pride and satisfaction of knowing that you're doing your part to rescue Mother Earth from carbon emissions or whatever. But according to a recent survey from McKinsey and Co. conducted this month, people remain unconvinced, particularly in the United States. They polled EV owners in nine countries and found that 46% of American owners of EVs want to switch back to gas-powered cars with internal combustion engines. There were lower levels of dissatisfaction in some other nations, but nearly half

As RedState’s Bonchie reported Sunday, the fact-checking site Snopes for reasons known only to themselves decided now would be a good time to debunk the myth that then-President Donald Trump called neo-Nazis and white supremacists “fine people” in Charlottesville, VA, in 2017. Of course, anyone who pays attention to news sources other than the New York Times and MSNBC has known all along that Trump’s quote was bastardized to make it sound like he said something he didn’t actually say, but the mainstream media and the Biden team has run with the falsehood for years now. Bonchie explains how the deceitful quote so moved Biden

A mob of climate protesters stormed the 18th green at the Professional Golf Association’s Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut, on Sunday afternoon during a pivotal closing moment, setting off colorful smoke bombs and preventing play from continuing. As Scottie Scheffler prepared to take a putt to win the championship, play was interrupted as the protesters charged onto the green. Police immediately descended on the mob, tackling and handcuffing the protesters as the audience booed, chanting “a**hole” and “U-S-A” as police led the disruptors off the course. Several of the protesters were wearing shirts emblazoned with the phrase, “NO GOLF ON A DEAD PLANET.”

North Carolina parents have slammed a charter school for outing their nonbinary six-year-old twins after discovering an online hate campaign. Mortellus, 42, who did not want to reveal their full identity, said they did not think there was any issue when they first toured the Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy in Forest City, North Carolina, with their spouse Joe. During the visit, Mortellus - who is transgender and nonbinary - inquired if there were any gender-neutral bathrooms. The pair told staff their children are nonbinary, and one is gender-fluid.

Afterwards, he fretted that voters are insufficiently aware of President Biden’s achievements over these four years. Watch as Alexander emotes concern over the level of ignorance he’s witnessed during the course of his travels across the fruited plain:

With Thursday's presidential debate looming, the Biden campaign has settled on a strategy: Attempt to exceed expectations. Oddly enough, that doesn't have anything to do with policy. Instead, the president's handlers are setting the stage for an "energized" Biden who can put down all the talk about his ongoing struggle with senility. More oddly, they seem rather confident he can pull it off. They're playing with fire, though. (X Video) I do not doubt that there's a plan in place to load Biden up with more amphetamines than a Los Angeles drug dealer.

Despite being reportedly worth upwards of $10 million, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden have refinanced their Delaware home multiple times over the last few years. The constant refinancing has raised questions about the fast cash provided by the renegotiated loans on the Delaware properties which the Daily Mail noted occurred “an astonishing 35 times.” Since 1975, the Bidens have lived in two houses in Delaware with their first property in Wilmington being sold in the 1990s. The couple reportedly secured a “new mortgage or credit deal on both homes every 17 months,” according to the outlet.

MSNBC host Joy Reid said Monday on “The ReidOut” that rich people were “kissing Trump’s ring” because they wanted tax cuts and more deregulation. Reid said, “America’s billionaires, oil, gas, tech, media, and otherwise are busy tripping over themselves and stampeding over each other to get in front of Donald Trump and hand him millions in campaign donations so he can get back into the White House. And in exchange for the bribes he’s soliciting door to door, hat in hand, he’s offering to let them operate with less regulation, including drilling on public lands. That’s one of two things you need to understand about the upcoming election.

Melania Trump is unlikely to move into the White House if Donald wins another term in November, analysts say. Those close to the former first lady believe she will likely split her time between Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, and New York City – especially with Barron, 18, tipped to attend New York University. Melania would instead only travel to Washington, D.C. for ceremonial responsibilities like state dinners and other special events. The decision not to live with in Washington is an unprecedented move for a first lady and a break in two-and-a-half centuries of tradition.

On Sunday's "This Week," Martha Raddatz had a panel discussion with three "experts" on the upcoming presidential debate. The panel included Frank Luntz, and what he offered up made little sense. Luntz claims that the last two presidential campaigns, beginning with Trump versus Clinton in 2016 and then Trump versus Biden in 2020, were the beginning of the end of democracy. It seems everything in politics is “the end of democracy.” Luntz claimed that personal invectives and insults are too debasing and, apparently, a sign of the end of democracy. Luntz is a pollster, not a historian. Maybe he’s unaware of the long history of politicians insulting each other.

The statement came after the Trump campaign ripped CNN for abruptly ending its interview with Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
