A pink-haired DEI trainer has slammed Oregon's forestry department for hiring on the basic of merit rather than identity.
Megan Donecker filed a complaint about her former boss Mike Shaw and moaned about him telling her that he sought the 'candidates most qualified for the job.'
DEI advocates like Donecker say hiring should be done through an 'intersectional lens' whereby applications from people of marginalized backgrounds are given greater weight.
Shaw, who earns $192,000-a-year as deputy head of Oregon's Department of Forestry, has been put on leave over Donecker's complaint.
Has anyone noticed the deafening silence of the Hollywood and Nashville glitterati towards the victims of Hurricanes Helene and Milton? Usually, this is the perfect time to virtue signal, but save for Dolly Parton, Morgan Wallen, Metallica, and even Taylor Swift, there hasn't been much from the usual suspects who love to talk about how compassionate and caring they are.

The regents who govern Georgia’s 26 public colleges and universities voted Tuesday to ask the NCAA and the National Junior College Athletic Association to put a ban in place on transgender athletes participating in women’s sports.
The vote was unanimous. Reportedly, the vote was instigated by Republican Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones’ oath to ban men who think they are women from women’s sports (via the New York Post):
The officials expect the NCAA and the National Junior College Athletic Association to conform to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics’ rules, which largely banned transgender women from sports in April.
Former President Donald Trump will attend an all-female town hall on “issues impacting women” just weeks before the November election.
The town hall, which will air on Fox News, will be moderated by the outlet’s Harris Faulkner and consist of an all-female audience. The Q&A is expected to touch on women’s rights and issues such as IVF and abortion, as well as the economy and safe communities to raise families.

The Biden-Harris administration is accusing another jurisdiction of discriminating against women and African Americans by creating law enforcement examinations that are too hard for them.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday announced a lawsuit against South Bend, Indiana. In their court filing, the DOJ accused the South Bend Police Department of creating a physical fitness test that discriminates against female candidates and a written test that discriminates against African-American candidates, allegedly because both groups were passing at considerably lower rates than their male and white counterparts, respectively.
You know you've spent too much time in Hollywood and not enough time in the real world when you think it's a good career move to work with the deeply troubled folks behind the Lincoln Project. This is the sad fate that seems to have befallen actor Ed O'Neill, originator of the much-beloved Al Bundy character on "Married With Children," who has debased himself by voicing a pro-Kamala ad for the group of dubious characters.
Let's back up a minute and remind ourselves what the Lincoln Project is all about. They grew from the ashes of the original Never-Trump movement from 2016,
As I've noted before, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) has risen to the occasion since becoming GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump's running mate in late July, from the way he's handled the liberal media's talking points to the way he refuses to back down from a fight and comes armed with receipts so he can start dropping them on his critics when challenged. Then there was his beast mode performance at the veep debate, where he made mincemeat of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris is desperately relying on to help her win over male voters, who are flocking to support the Trump-Vance ticket in droves.

Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday described “what’s at stake” in the 2024 election in notably vague terms – telling Arizona voters that “it’s packed with some stuff!” before bursting out in laughter.
Harris, who appeared to be speaking without a teleprompter, began her remarks at the Scottsdale campaign event by telling supporters that as Election Day nears, America’s status as a “role model” for democracy “weighs on me sometimes.”
About five minutes into her speech, however, the vice president decided to articulate the importance of the presidential election in even more plain terms.
“So when we think about what’s at stake in this election – well,

A life-threatening hurricane didn't stop illegal immigrants from landing on Florida's beaches, as a boat full of illegal aliens arrived in the state just hours before Hurricane Milton made landfall. Border Patrol agents responded to an illegal immigrant landing on Wednesday night and encountered 11 undocumented aliens from Haiti, Guyana, the Dominican Republic, and the Bahamas. Officials said illegal maritime migration voyages are already dangerous, especially in severe weather conditions.
The leftist group Vote Save America shared a strange video attempting to make Vice President Kamala Harris appeal to male voters, asserting, “They’re man enough to fight a bear, eat a carburetor, and elect a woman. How about you?”
Vote Save America describes itself as an organization whose mission is to “mobilize people from all walks of life into meaningful action on legislation, issues, and elections to advance progressive ideals, candidates, and causes committed to creating a just world.” It should be noted that this organization was born out of Crooked Media, home of Pod Save America, run by former staffers of former President Barack Obama — namely,

for Democrats replies
The dramatic rise in early voting has led many to think the election might be effectively over days or weeks before Election Day. The data thus far show that won’t be true — and the numbers aren’t comforting for Democrats.
Early voting is nowhere near what some people estimated: 4.2 million Americans have already cast their ballots, per John Couvillon, a Republican political strategist who provides daily updates on early and mail voting.
That sounds like a lot, but it’s a pittance compared with the 158.6 million votes ultimately cast in 2020.
More important, it’s significantly less than this point in 2020: Early voting is down 45%, Couvillon’s numbers show.

Kamala Harris had a problem, and like the savvy political operator she is, she set out to solve it. In doing so, she has bestowed upon us an invaluable gift: the most cringeworthy political ad in the history of the known universe.The genesis of this masterwork was simple: numerous polls showed that Donald Trump had a massive lead among men. That was understandable. Look at Trump and JD Vance, and then look at the weak half-men, men who think they’re women, and effeminate males that populate the Harris campaign.

The centralized nations of Libya, Iraq, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen have been torn to pieces. Irrespective of the failure of America and its partners concerning events in Iraq and Libya, the nations of Egypt, Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and others have collectively funded various nations and proxies in endless wars (low intensity to high-level conflicts).

The Justice Department announced Friday that it is suing Virginia over its efforts to purge voter rolls within 90 days of an election, calling the state's actions a violation of federal voting laws.

I know the conventional wisdom is that this election is too close to call. And it is. Predictions on the outcome are little better than guesses.
Still, this is Washington. And while prognostications in U.S. politics is fraught with risk, it doesn’t stop most of us — even though we know that, if you are right, nobody cares, and if you are wrong, it goes on your Wikipedia page forever. Predictions are pedestrian, oftentimes biased, and generally uninteresting. But the reasoning behind them might occasionally offer something of value.
So, here’s the uninteresting part: I think that Donald Trump is going to win.
The Trump campaign has asked to use military planes and vehicles in the final weeks of the race amid concerns that Iran is plotting to kill the former president.
Donald Trump has survived two recent assassination attempts and his officials have asked for a string of extra protections during the final month of campaigning, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Those include traveling on military jets, extra flight restrictions over his residences and events, and prepositioning ballistic glass in battleground states for open-air rallies.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ comments about owning a “Glock” are proving to be, more than just a short-lived embarrassment, a microcosm of the problem plaguing her candidacy. Like other failed campaigns before, Harris’ camp seems to believe the public can be hoodwinked with prepared lines and ads and images that are at odds with the candidate’s record and identity.

Tehran has secretly threatened to strike America's oil-rich allies in the Middle East if their territory or airspace is used for an Israeli attack on Iran, it has emerged.
Israeli officials are pushing for damaging strikes on nuclear facilities or oil infrastructure after Tehran fired 180 ballistic missiles at Israel earlier this month.
But Iran has now warned that it will respond with 'devastating hits' on Israel's civilian infrastructure and against any Arab states that help facilitate the touted attacks, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Iran has reportedly threatened several countries hosting American troops, including Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
WASHINGTON, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Donald Trump's campaign has requested the use of military aircraft and vehicles to protect the former president as he campaigns during the final weeks of the presidential campaign, the New York Times and Washington Post reported on Friday.

A 90-second video of “typical” men expressing their support for Kamala Harris was widely mocked online Friday — with critics trashing the awkward spot as the “cringiest political ad ever” and an “absurd piece of rubbish.”
The clip features a slew of apparent farmers, car enthusiasts and gym junkies boasting about their masculinity as they repeatedly insist, “I’m a man” and “I’m man enough.”
The script then takes a hard feminist turn as the presumed actors — most of whom were filmed doing outdoor activities or perched on trucks — start rattling off ways they aren’t afraid to support women.

I was reading an interesting piece by Fred Bauer in UnHerd on the "reboot" of Kamala Harris' campaign strategy.
After months of avoiding the media almost entirely, she is now talking in less controlled settings, although so far, the only journalist she has actually sat down with is 60 Minutes' Bill Whitaker, who did a good job trying to pin down a slippery Kamala Harris.

I can’t watch an entire podcast during the workday, but the various clips posted on social media paint a good enough picture. If this is how the media reacted to Donald Trump’s sit-down with comedian and podcaster Andrew Schulz, then a) you know Kamala Harris’ interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast was atrocious, and it was, and b) these people have no clue how to interpret anything Trump because of their bias. It’s entertaining. Even the most ardent Trump hater would know that Schulz’s interview was a slam-dunk for the former president, who covered various topics.

Kamala Harris has undergone numerous "reboots" and attempted reinventions as Joe Biden's Vice President, amid low approval ratings, bad headlines, and enormous staff turnover. She has an authenticity problem. None of the makeovers have stuck. Her latest attempt has been to pretend she's a powerful and influential Vice President in the current administration, who nevertheless represents change and a new direction from her own unpopular administration. She's fresh and different, but is no longer left-wing on everything, we're told, without any explanations for her endless parade of ostensible flip-flops.

The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) is an aggressive domestic program to federally register millions of unsuspecting small business owners under the guise of an “anti-money laundering initiative.”

Within minutes of Hamas jihadists breaching the Israeli border on Oct. 7, 2023, and commencing the largest slaughter of the Jewish people since the Holocaust, Western leftists and other defenders of the genocidal Palestinian-Arab cause rallied around a talking point: "This did not occur in a vacuum." The claim, blithely offered by armchair revolutionaries without even acknowledging the many hundreds of butchered babies, sadistically tortured families, raped women and young music festivalgoers taken hostage, was that Israel had somehow impelled the horrific rampage on its own civilians. Those with a functioning moral compass recognize this as obvious terror apologia.

But Joe being Joe, he just couldn't stop himself from being nasty and divisive.
He made a bizarre comment when asked about his call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, of which Kamala Harris was also, reportedly, a part.

Ron DeSantis never misses, and his response to Hurricane Milton has set another standard. After pre-staging crews to work around the clock, the recovery from the massive storm is well underway. Some in the press are still looking for controversy, though.
On Thursday, one reporter tried to blame Milton and the tornados it spawned on "global warming." What followed was a masterclass in both knowledge and how to use it to push back on a narrative.
