Meta and Amazon have both announced that they are terminating their DEI programs.

I guess they don’t think they have to appease any leftists anymore then, huh?

I expect that the past 4 years, having a DEI program was just the cost of doing business. Now, not so much. They don’t have to pander to the “Woke” politicos any more. White Women and Democrats no longer matter…..

Shows what a real farce the whole thing was, really.

So Saturday about noon I went for a walk in the winter sunshine. Not much wind, and it was clear as clear can be. Cold(ish) but not bad for January in Northwestern Indiana.

I walked around town and finally entered the park, I sat down and watched the people. It was calming. Kids playing, families out together, lovers walking hand in hand, older couples enjoying each other….that sort of thing. Peaceful.

Then this fat dude in his 40’s sat down next to me on the bench….loudly. Kinda broke my calm. Disturbed my Wah, if you get my drift…..I pretty much ignored him, for a while. He kept eyeballing me though.

So, without turning my head, I said, calmly, in my best voice: “Did you bring the money?”

Out of the corner of my eye, I watched him stiffen up, his eyes widened. He looked at me sharply, but I did not turn my head.

“Just slide it over and everything will be fine” Says I, calmly.

Dude got up in a panic and hurried off.

It made a great day even better.

Students

Yep, the DEI department, where people make upwards of $300,000.00 (Plus benefits) per year (doing what, exactly?) of Ohio State University has salaries and benefits that could pay the tuition of well over a THOUSAND students…..Students that could then get better jobs, earn better salaries, and improve their communities.

But no, it goes to a bunch of academics who produce nothing, change nothing, and essentially waste the money. (Which pretty much describes the whole DEI movement…..it is pretty much a transfer of wealth to those favored few who can’t earn a living any other way)

Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley is the first Lesbian (and female) Fire Chief in the LA fire department’s history.

Such a legacy she will leave.

Just sayin’

Plus there is Janisse Quiñones

Diversity is our Strength.

So the whole aim of this trial was, apparently to be able to brand Donald Trump a Felon.

The Punishment was…nothing.

So why bother except that the Left got to brand the man they hate above all others as a “Felon”.

Is it any wonder they lost the election?

ETA: How many thousands of New York Taxpayer dollars did they waste on this?

gonna investigate who the people were that were running the White House these past 9 or so months? We know it wasn’t ole Slo Joe

Those person who pretended that Joe Biden was making decisions? Who made Joe sign things? Hid the incompetence of an elderly and confused man who was held up as President?

Is he (Or the DOJ?) gonna go after those who saw this and covered it up, hid the truth, and lied to the American people?

Are they gonna be charged, tried, and if found guilty, jailed? Is it treason, or just fraud? Will the bills, executive orders and other legislation signed by Joe this past year or so be null and void?

I really wanna know

How they are going to handle Biden speaking at the funeral?

Will it be as bad as during the debate? Will he even be able to speak a eulogy?

Will he embarrass himself and the country while doing so?

On the funeral of Jimmah Carter.

But I simply cannot,

Best not to say bad things of the departed.

As a man, he was, apparently a decent one.

As a President, not so much.

He did more good after he was in office than as President, I think.

Anecdote:

I knew a man who was a Secret Service Agent during Carter’s time. He told the story of Carter’s first day in office, at the White House,, being given his briefing…..

“And so, if at any time there is a threat deemed sufficient to need to move you to a  place of safety, Mr. President, we have assets in place that can pick you up and move you and your family to a more secure location in less than 5 minutes notice”

Carter: “Really? Let’s see. Have them pick me up RIGHT NOW”.

Apparently there were a bunch of embarrassed folks when they were unable to do so .

“If possible, stay out of fights. But if you have to fight, fight as if you were the third monkey in front of Noah’s ark. Fight as if your life depends on it, as if your loved ones fate depends on the outcome. All or nothing.”
