Bud Light wanted to create a new customer base—the trolls who pretend to have feelings they are not the gender that biologically they are.  With such a small customer base, so far they have lost 25% of their sales—and it continues to plummet.

Now, the Los Angeles Dodgers have determined in this era of WOKE, their customer base is Christian hating, Catholic hating drag queens.  No this is not about supporting the gay community; it is about hating People of Faith.

Like the NFL and the NBA, baseball has decided to become part of the political discussion and leave sports behind.  This is why I support reparations for the Los Angeles Hispanic community—return Chavez Ravine to the Hispanics who had their land and homes stolen by the politicians and Walter O’Malley.  The Dodgers need to find another place to play—maybe San Fran?

Dodgers Cave to Woke Mob, Invite Anti-Catholic Drag Queens ‘Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence’ to Pride Night

PAUL BOIS, Breitbart,   5/22/23    https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2023/05/22/dodgers-cave-woke-mob-invite-anti-catholic-drag-queens-sisters-of-perpetual-indulgence-to-pride-night/

The Los Angeles Dodgers have reversed course and decided to invite the anti-Catholic drag queen group “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” to the team’s LGBTQ Pride Night.

As Breitbart News reported last week, the Dodgers disinvited the drag queen group “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” after several Catholic groups decried the troupe for its anti-Catholic imagery and stance.

“The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence ‘use humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency and guilt that chain the human spirit,’ according to their website.  They were supposed to receive a Community Hero Award during the June 16 game,” the report noted.

“The nonprofit was founded in 1979 when three men dressed in full, traditional nuns’ habits — one of them carrying a machine gun —  walked the streets of San Francisco on Easter Sunday,” it added.

At the time, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) chastised the Dodgers for including a group that clearly offended Christians, arguing that it goes against the team’s mission of being “inclusive and welcoming to everyone.”

“Do you believe that the Los Angeles Dodgers are being ‘inclusive and welcoming to everyone’ by giving an award to a group of gay and transgender drag performers that intentionally mocks and degrades Christians—and not only Christians, but nuns, who devote their lives to serving others?” he wrote.

After backlash from LGBTQ activists, the Dodgers apologized to the drag queen group in a statement on Monday and promised to feature them at the team’s LGBTQ+ Pride Night on June 16.

“After much thoughtful feedback from our diverse communities, honest conversations within the Los Angeles Dodgers organization and generous discussions with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the Los Angeles Dodgers would like to offer our sincerest apologies to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, members of the LGBTQ+ community and their friends and families,” the statement said.

“We have asked the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to take their place on the field at our 10th annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night on June 16th. We are pleased to share that they have agreed to receive the gratitude of our collective communities for the lifesaving work that they have done tirelessly for decades,” it added.

The Dodgers concluded with a promise to “work with our LGBTQ+ partners to better educate ourselves, find ways to strengthen the ties that bind, and use our platform to support all of our fans who make up the diversity of the Dodgers family.”

People on social media either celebrated the decision to invite the drag queen group or denounced the Dodgers for caving to LGBTQ activist pressure.

“The weakest possible response. Long may your sales suffer. Enjoy your Anheuser-Busch treatment!” said Sour Patch Lyds.

“Disgraceful,” said Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon.

“You are cowards to cave to anti-Catholic neo-Marxist drag queens. You are thumbing your nose at all your Christian fans. Did you learn nothing from the Bud Light boycott?” said Liz Wheeler.

I am proud to say that in 1980 I was a member of the Electoral College from California.  I actually got to vote for Ronald Reagan for President.  The Electoral College is part of the checks and balances that founded this nation, so small States and large ones have a say in its decisions.  The Electoral College is an integral part of the U.S. Democracy.

This is what the Left wants, “The will of the American people can be OVERRULED by an archaic

institution called the Electoral College. It is unfair and

anti-Democratic!

Donald Trump would have NEVER defeated Hillary Clinton and become President were it not for the Electoral College!

Thankfully, top Democrats like Hillary Clinton are calling for an end to this terrible system.

Why?  Because without the electoral College they can stuff the ballot boxes in the large Blue States, to overwhelm the rest of America.  The electoral College may be the last barrier to a totalitarian State.

Abolish the Electoral College? By Richard Eber

Richard Eber, California Political News and Views,  5/25/23 www.capoliticalreview.com

I must be some kind of V.I.P. Hillary Clinton’s people sent

me this email which read:

The will of the American people can be OVERRULED by an archaic

institution called the Electoral College. It is unfair and

anti-Democratic!

Donald Trump would have NEVER defeated Hillary Clinton

and become President were it not for the Electoral College!

Thankfully, top Democrats like Hillary Clinton are calling for an end

to this terrible system.

But if we're going to abolish the Electoral College, we need to know

who is with us. 

5O,OOO SIGNATURES FROM CONCORD NEEDED

BEFORE 11:‌59 P.M.: Add your name now to stand with

Hillary Clinton and demand we ABOLISH the Electoral

College once and for all →

Are you kidding me? Should we abolish the electoral college based on the

recommendation of a bitter old lady who brought us the ”Basket of Deplorables?”

While Hillary might have her popularity rating equaling that of President Joe

Biden and his VP, Kamala Harris, this ain’t saying much. Darth Vader is running

neck with this group with returns from the Death Star yet to be tabulated.

Up to now the defeated Democratic Presidential nominee has never been very

concerned with the Electoral College. During her unsuccessful campaign in 2016,

Hillary purposely omitted less populated places; preferring to make appearances

in large metropolitan locales.

Experts believe Hillary losing key swing states, including Ohio and Minnesota, was

a result of her faulty campaign strategy.

This Electoral College was placed in Section II of the Constitution by our Founding

Fathers, This was done partially to protect less inhabited areas from domination

from large population centers such as New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,

and Virginia.

The creation of the Senate (with each state having 2 members) and the Electoral

College were designed to further fair representation for every American citizen.

This is why the United States has been classified as a democracy within a

Republic.

What gives hacks and fundraisers for the Democratic Party the idea of collecting

millions of petitions to influence changing the Constitution? Even if abolishing the

Electoral College was unanimous in largely Blue States, why would other places

such as Idaho, the Dakotas, or Mississippi want to diminish their influence?

Progressive Democrats continue to be frustrated by the constraints of the U.S.

Constitution. It takes three fourths of all states to change this venerable

document. James Madison and his cohorts purposely made it difficult to amend it.

Their clear intention was to slow down the influence of demagogues and mob

rule.

The electoral college is no exception.

Just imagine how Presidential campaigns would change if voters in big cities like

New York, Boston, Miami, Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, and San

Francisco were calling the shots? What incentive would candidates have to

venture beyond these Metropolitan enclaves? How would folks in Anchorage

Alaska or Cheyanne Wyoming feel?

Such reality does not deter Progressive Democrats from their mission to make

their country a leftist nexus. As examples includes:

 Packing the Supreme Court with additional members to tilt the balance of

power leftward.

 Ignore existing immigration laws to allow thousands of illegal aliens to

inhabit our country.

 Taking over the role of the Legislative Branch to formulate environmental

regulations. This has been done unilaterally promoting green energy polices

administered without a vote of the people.

By and large a new generation of Wokes has succeeded by perverting the balance

of power in the three branches of government. In their model, Washington D.C.

insiders wield true power, as part of the so called “Deep State”

Typical of entrenchment of career bureaucrats in the Federal Government, were

the results of the long-awaited Durham report. His five-year investigation

revealed the FBI and other security agencies promoting the Russian Hoax to

falsely discredit Donald Trump.

The report criticized the Steele Dossier, paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

This discredited document, was utilized to obtain unlawful search warrants of

Trump campaign officials.

Such brazen activities make Watergate into child’s play. Other examples include

the handling of Hunter Biden’s laptop from when social media co-operated with

The FBI, CIA, and NSA to withhold this information prior to the 2020 election.

Their work on the so-called Russian conspiracy between Putin and Trump, might

as well make the FBI to be unindicted co-conspirators of the deep state shuffle.

No wonder why Republicans distain the king of the hoaxers, Rep Adam Schiff (D-

Burbank), so much.

Bureaucratic strangulation has become the law of the land. Ridiculous fund-

raising campaigns such as getting rid of the Electoral College are typical of what

finds each day as they check their email in-box.

At the end of the day, it really doesn’t matter if there is an Electoral College or

what decisions are determined by the Supreme Court. As Comrade Stalin once

remarked. “The people who cast the votes don't decide an election, the people

who count the votes do.”

So go ahead Progressives and keep collecting signatures from internet dupes who

think they are part of a critical advisory group which influences Congress. Never

mind money raised by these crooked activists go straight in the hands of Political

Action Committees (PACS), intent in maintaining the power structure in

Washington D.C.

No wonder Donald Trump is hated so much. This flawed character is one of the

few individuals who have not bought the ranch so to speak. Concern for Trump

turning over the apple cart has led to efforts to take legal actions to keep him off

the ballot in 2024.

Such a notion is nonsense as Democrats would love to have the former President

run again as they figure he would be easy to defeat.

The domination of Trump on cable TV and in social media tends to neutralize

other Republicans from effectively competing against him.

The last thing Democrats want to do is defend Biden’s sorry record dealing with

rising crime rates, Covid-19, growing inflation, failing immigration and foreign

policies. It is best for them to have the American people think about abortion and

how morally bankrupt Donald Trump might be.

“The beat goes on” in American politics.

America is filled with hate.  Listen to Biden, Newsom or AOC.  Go to a college campus or a high school.  Read the Times, any variety, watch CNN, MSNBCDNC, turn on NPR or PBS.  Everywhere we go hate fills the air.

In California hating white people is OK, hating people of color is forbidden.  Literally, the State will be promoting hate, not stopping it.  Like Nazi Germy or the Old Soviet Union, the Government is setting up snitches.

“As Joe Biden’s would-be successor, doing his part to nurture and support the hate industry, California Governor Gavin Newsom on May 4 announced “the Launch of CA vs Hate, a New Statewide Hotline to Report Hate Acts in California.” Proclaiming that “hate will not be tolerated,” the governor said that Californians will have “another tool to ensure that not only justice is served, but that individuals have access to additional resources to help deal with the lingering wounds that remain after such a horrendous crime occurs.”

The Hate Industry

The “anti-hate” hate industry creates the tribalism it claims to fight, and the only beneficiary of all the hate it creates is the hate industry itself.

By Edward Ring, American Greatness,  5/17/23   https://amgreatness.com/2023/05/17/the-hate-industry/

“The most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy.”
— President Joe Biden, speaking at Howard University, May 13, 2023

In the aftermath of September 11, 2001, when establishment politicians started to make common use of the term “homeland,” they told us the most dangerous threat to Americans was foreign terrorists. But today, we are instructed to fear the enemy within. A new iconic date, January 6, 2021, is inscribed on our collective consciousness. From coast to coast, Americans are being herded into two camps. There are the “white supremacists,” those bad people who purportedly hate good people. And then there is everyone else, good people who are encouraged to hate the bad people.

The common thread, to state the obvious, is hate.

As Joe Biden’s would-be successor, doing his part to nurture and support the hate industry, California Governor Gavin Newsom on May 4 announced “the Launch of CA vs Hate, a New Statewide Hotline to Report Hate Acts in California.” Proclaiming that “hate will not be tolerated,” the governor said that Californians will have “another tool to ensure that not only justice is served, but that individuals have access to additional resources to help deal with the lingering wounds that remain after such a horrendous crime occurs.”

This is agenda-driven hype. The agenda, perfectly expressed by author Michael Shellenberger in a Substack post last week, is to “manufacture a fake ‘hate’ crisis as [a] pretext for mass spying, blacklists, and censorship.” The hype, also exposed by Shellenberger in his recent article, is underscored by the fact that over the past 10 years, hate crime convictions, as opposed to “criminal complaints of hate crimes,” have not increased at all. In a state with 40 million people, hate crime convictions were a minuscule 109 in 2021, and a negligible increase from 107 in 2012.

The hate industry is a vast agglomeration of lucrative hustles, now institutionalized and expanded into multiple and overlapping sectors. There is the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) sector; the equity, social, and governance (ESG) sector; the activist sector comprising countless groups, including Black Lives Matter and Antifa; the corporate, academic, and government sectors; the media sector; the politicians; and the pundits. All of these sectors have spawned scores of thousands of well-paying jobs.

If these institutions weren’t able to point to rising levels of hatred in America, then their specialty, the business of hate, would no longer be a growth industry. Where there is no hate, they must manufacture it. Where hatred has diminished, they must discover new forms of hate, often so subtle that we foolishly fail to recognize it without their assistance.

Peddling Hate Is a Dangerous Game

It’s a dangerous and divisive game. For hate to exist, you have to have a hater and a victim of hate. And who might they be? A list of Newsom’s “Community Specific Resources for People Targeted for Hate” might provide a clue. Virtually every imaginable group is listed as “people targeted for hate,” including “Communities living at the intersection of multiple identities (Coming Soon).” Isn’t that great? Resources for those who live “at the intersection of multiple identities” is “coming soon.” They’re awfully busy at the State of California’s Civil Rights Department. These, we are told, are the victims.

Not listed, of course, are heterosexual, “cisgender” white males who speak English, and lack learning disabilities, physical disabilities, mental health disabilities, or are elders, or students, and don’t belong to the “Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, and Jewish communities.” Got that? If someone is a member of this rapidly disappearing fraction of California’s population, there are no “community resources.” These, then, are the haters.

The problem for Newsom—and Biden, and every other hate-hyping demagogue in America—is that data doesn’t validate the hate narrative. To keep the industry supplied with the fuel of hatred, Newsom must differentiate between hate crimes, because hardly any of these occur, and “hate incidents,” which, like harvested ballots, appear in numbers proportional to the amount of money invested to procure them. Here is how Newsom’s Department of Civil Rights describes a hate incident: “A hostile expression or action that may be motivated by bias against another person’s actual or perceived identity(ies).”

If this seems vague, that’s on purpose. When trolling for hate incidents, cast as wide a net as possible. A “hostile expression,” that “may” be motivated by bias. That’s awfully broad and awfully subjective. And to ensure California’s epidemic of hate is fully documented, a “CA vs. Hate Portal” has been set up through the “Submit Hate Incident or Hate Crime Report” button, which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week on your desktop or mobile device.

If you click through this online interface to the main screen, you will learn that the “Types of Crime or Incident” that qualify include “cyberbullying/internet harassment (text, email, or social media),” “verbal harassment,” “hate literature/flyers,” “hate mail,” and several other categories offering an almost unlimited latitude of qualifying criteria.

Exaggerating Hate, Marketing Hate

Anyone who thinks the number of reported “hate incidents” can’t be goosed upwards by marketing a site like this should reflect on just how trivial some of the alleged transgressions have been that attracted wide publicity and outrage.

Report Ad

California’s local television networks in the Sacramento area were agog a few years ago with a report that flyers stating “It’s OK to be White” were posted around the campus of the University of California at Davis. News reporters interviewed college officials who were shocked and terrified and anxious to assert their commitment to keeping UC Davis “safe” from these “triggering” flyers. The presumption was that this rather innocuous assertion was “hate literature.” Exactly why this was considered hate literature was not explained.

During the 2020 election season, the need for evidence of alarming “white supremacist” activity was so desperate that national television networks, for several days, ran a story about a white man who yelled anti-Asian slurs at some Asian diners in a restaurant in Carmel Valley, California. The point here isn’t to excuse the man’s comments. For all we know, maybe he deserved the dogpile that followed. But it wouldn’t have mattered. The hate machine needed to find a hater, so there was never any attempt to contextualize the incident. What made this man angry? How much had he been drinking? Were the diners he insulted being disruptive, noisy, or rude? Was there no provocation whatsoever?

But the answers are beside the point. This incident, while unpleasant and regrettable, did not merit national news coverage. It had no geopolitical significance. It was national “news” because it was the only example available that week, in a nation of 330 million people, during a time when it was important for the hate industry to foment a national terror of “white supremacy.”

Recognize any of that today? It’s bigger than ever, with the hate machine still focused on white racist hate crimes. And if a perpetrator isn’t white, such as the Latino man who just murdered five people in Texas, the hate machine makes sure to play down that fact, but is sure to mention he is a “suspected Nazi sympathizer.” What about another Latino, also in Texas, who recently ran his SUV into a crowd outside an immigrant center, killing eight? The media takeaway—he yelled “anti-immigrant insults” when he was detained. White supremacy, courtesy of Latinos.

If the story doesn’t fit the narrative, and you can’t find a story that does, then warp the story. Make it fit. Hugely disproportionate rates of black-on-black crime? What’s that? Blacks beating a white girl half to death? Crickets. A white person, with the assistance of a black person, subdues a deranged black career criminal before he hurts somebody, and, in the struggle, he unintentionally chokes him to death? The dead black criminal is a saint, the brave white hero is a “vigilante,” and the brave black hero is ignored because he doesn’t fit the narrative.

All of this warped coverage generates lucrative hate. White liberals and blacks are encouraged to hate white racists. White conservatives hate the lying media and resent the double standard. And as hate grows, money is made, and authoritarian bureaucracies expand.

This point cannot be emphasized enough: The “anti-hate” hate industry creates the tribalism it claims to fight, and the only beneficiary of all the hate it creates is the hate industry itself.

All Hate Matters, Hating Haters Is Still Hate

As is usual with so much in 21st-century America, the irony here is so thick you’d break a chainsaw trying to cut through.

Gavin Newsom, a man who checks almost every box in the “hater” category, is part of a hate machine that is fueled by ginning up hatred for the haters. There is irony everywhere. Walk into any classroom in California, and more often than not, you will encounter at least one poster stating “Everyone is welcome here,” against the backdrop of a gay/trans pride flag. You may rest assured that whoever puts up a sign like this is most definitely not going to welcome “everyone.” Whoever does not share their views is a “hater,” who deserves to be hated.

There are plenty of reasons for the growth of America’s hate industry. There have always been political incentives to marginalize opposition candidates and movements, but the modern hate industry was born when the internet democratized communication. All of a sudden, instead of three or four major broadcasting networks and newspapers competing for a huge national news audience, there were thousands of new online sources of information. The knockout blow came when social media and search giants came on the scene, within a few years co-opting over 50 percent of national advertising dollars by offering precision placements of advertising content. How did the national news media respond? By peddling hate.

In a recent interview, Elon Musk offered an insightful explanation of why hate sells better than love. As humans evolved, he said, we developed a much stronger response to fear than to attraction, because if we didn’t immediately and forcefully react, for example, to a charging lion, we would die, whereas if we took our time ambling over to a sweet berry bush, we would merely defer a bit of pleasure.

The fact that it takes less investment to retain viewers if you appeal to their negative emotions has become the business strategy of media companies struggling to compete in a market that has become infinitely fragmented and ruthlessly competitive. Hate sells.

Even if peddling hate weren’t the survival strategy of America’s beleaguered media companies, the modern era would still be spawning more than the usual amount of hate. Social media has granted every individual on earth access to billions of potential critics, every one of them with the ability to lob insults from a distance and anonymously. Humans aren’t wired to cope with an audience for their opinions that includes an infinite number of people who can insult them perpetually, without the desire to engage in reason, and without the slightest fear of consequences.

The Hate Industry’s Hidden Agenda

It’s obvious the “anti-hate” hate industry is a self-perpetuating, self-aggrandizing fraud. But behind all the hatred that is nurtured by a hate industry that grows when hate grows, and hence is doing everything it can to divide Americans, there is a deeper agenda. Whether in preparation for martial law to be imposed if there is a major war, or the reduction of our standard of living in order to achieve “sustainability,” or to pacify a population that might otherwise rebel against mass immigration with all the economic and social disruption it will entail, or to divide, diminish, incite, and then crush the populist rebellion against all three of these profiteering, globalist gambits, America is slowly being turned into a technology-driven police state. If we can be convinced that we must be terrified of the haters who are rampant among us, we will accept everything being done to stop them.

America’s hate industry employs a diabolical strategy, whereby everything they do to supposedly eliminate hate actually creates more hate. In the name of fighting hate, the hate industry demands tolerance when it is not actually promoting every abnormal, deviant, debauched, destructive, indolent, criminal, or bizarre behavior. It normalizes the strange and then accuses anyone of questioning the health or the efficacy of mainstreaming the marginal of being haters. It continuously ups the ante, creating as much disruption as possible, while monetizing the controversy in the form of bigger DEI departments, more “environmental, social, governance” criteria, more bureaucrats, more thought police, and bigger audiences for their salacious, indignant cable and online shows.

If there aren’t enough adverse reactions against the hate industry’s campaign to deconstruct American culture and traditions, they make them up. Increase the scale and scope of this deconstruction while at the same time lowering the level of reaction necessary to trigger accusations of hate. Eventually, declare a state of emergency. Game over.

Several years ago, a refugee from the Soviet Union said something to me that I didn’t immediately understand. “The only perfectly safe place,” he said, “is a prison.” As America drifts further towards the state of perfect safety, free of unsanctioned hate, yet saturated with hate masquerading as tolerance, it becomes obvious what he meant. So bravo, Joe Biden. And bravo, Gavin Newsom. You two are doing your part.

Like the radical progressives, Salesforce thought spending money for government education would help.  It didn’t, as expected.  The problem is not money, it is curriculum and quality teachers.  As long as math is taught through the lens of racism, other classes used to groom students for sex, it will always fail.

“Ten years ago, Salesforce pledged millions to San Francisco’s public schools to help close an achievement gap between the district’s Black and brown students, who scored lower than their white and Asian peers in math and science courses.

But a decade and $66 million later, that gap has only widened.

You read that right—the money was spent on equity—which is a buzzword for discrimination.

$66M Salesforce program to close educational gaps has only widened them

Ten years ago, Salesforce pledged millions to San Francisco’s public schools to help close an achievement gap between the district’s Black and brown students, who scored lower than their white and Asian peers in math and science courses.

But a decade and $66 million later, that gap has only widened.

Instead of promoting equity in classrooms, the curriculum bankrolled by the tech giant has only served to reap more harm on students amid growing frustrations from parents over what they see as faulty reforms and the district’s touting of its success to donors.of season after win

Third baseman J.D. Davis joins “Giants Postgame Live” after San Francisco’s 7-5 win of the Miami Marlins for an exclusive interview where he talks about his plate approach on a day where he went 2-for-3 with a homer.

Meanwhile, Salesforce enjoyed substantial tax breaks from those donations.

Salesforce’s funding supported a new math curriculum that, among other things, removed Algebra 1 from middle school and eliminated ‘tracking’ — a tactic that groups students by their perceived ability, IQ, or achievement levels — according to grant agreements The Examiner obtained through public records requests.

Though the school district maintains that Salesforce’s support has had a “profoundly positive impact on San Francisco public school students,” some parents see it differently.

“For years, (community members) have railed against the false claims by SFUSD regarding the math curriculum. In a horrible irony, those most harmed by SFUSD’s lies about its equity claims are the Black and brown students SFUSD falsely claims to have helped,” Patrick Wolff, executive director of Families for San Francisco, an advocacy group, wrote in a letter to superintendent Matt Wayne, reviewed by The Examiner.

In an interview with Salesforce’s vice president of philanthropy, SFUSD’s superintendent said that math proficiency had increased since Salesforce began funding the program, even while state data showed math proficiency rates for Black and Hispanic/Latino students remained largely unchanged between 2014 and 2018, and then decreased after the pandemic.

Tom Loveless, education researcher and former senior fellow at the Brookings Institution said the school district employed an “extensive public relations campaign” to portray the reform, first implemented in 2014, as having successfully narrowed achievement gaps.

That campaign has been successful: SFUSD’s program has influenced math curriculum statewide and is cited in the California Math Framework, the guidance used by teachers to shape lessons — despite the model failing to achieve what it purported to.

“The campaign omitted assessment data indicating that the Black-white and Hispanic-white achievement gaps have widened, not narrowed, the exact opposite of the district’s intention and of the story the district was selling to the public,” Loveless said.

Despite parents’ growing frustration over the math reform, the district reported to Salesforce the same information it reported to the community — that the initiative was a success and the donations helped closed an achievement gap in math.

“64% of LatinX middle school students have As or Bs in math — up 10% from last year. 51% of Black middle school students have As or Bs in math — up 7% from last year,” Gia DeBartolo, spokesperson for Salesforce’s philanthropic arm, told the Examiner.

District spokesperson Laura Dudnik confirmed these numbers and said they are “based on grade roster data that is collected from all schools.”

As the leases expire, the businesses leave.  Next year the San Fran Williams-Sonoma is going to leave San Fran.

“Williams-Sonoma is one of many stores that have left or plan to leave Union Square, with several of them blaming street conditions and reduced foot traffic.

News of the retailer’s closure comes after Nordstrom announced it would close both of its Downtown San Francisco locations. Whole Foods announced the closure of its flagship store at Market and Eighth streets in early April—just one year after it opened—citing deteriorating conditions locally.

The store is reportedly to be replaced by another retailer, Chanel. However, the future of retail in the Union Square area is in doubt — not only because the city has seen an exodus of residents and businesses since the pandemic, but also because it has suffered a rise in crime, including “mass looting” events in Union Square.”

Like watching a train wreck, San Fran is having an economic collapse.

Williams-Sonoma Latest Retailer to Leave Downtown San Francisco

Williams-Sonoma, a retailer specializing in kitchen and home furnishings, confirmed Friday that it will leave its downtown San Francisco location next year, becoming the latest big retailer to leave the Union Square area.

The San Francisco Standard reported (original links):

The Williams-Sonoma Union Square store will close in 2024, the retailer confirmed Friday afternoon.

Williams-Sonoma is one of many stores that have left or plan to leave Union Square, with several of them blaming street conditions and reduced foot traffic.

News of the retailer’s closure comes after Nordstrom announced it would close both of its Downtown San Francisco locations. Whole Foods announced the closure of its flagship store at Market and Eighth streets in early April—just one year after it opened—citing deteriorating conditions locally.

The store is reportedly to be replaced by another retailer, Chanel. However, the future of retail in the Union Square area is in doubt — not only because the city has seen an exodus of residents and businesses since the pandemic, but also because it has suffered a rise in crime, including “mass looting” events in Union Square.

As Breitbart News reported, Coco Republic, a major Australian furniture retailer, is closing its flagship Union Square store less than a year after opening. The New York Sun reports that some are questioning whether the city is in a “doom loop,” in which business departures because of poor economic conditions cause those conditions to worsen, prompting more business departures. Last year, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that the downtown area was near “collapse,” adding that the situation there was “worse than it looks.”

Williams-Sonoma earnings, reported Tuesday, were down significantly, but profits beat market expectations.

LAUSD has a shortage of teachers—caused in part to the policy of NOT allowing unvaccinated teachers in the classroom.  Those they do not want to take a dangerous drug, that the CDC admits has killed tens of thousands and caused long term harm to young men, pregnant women and women over 45, are being fired because they care about their health—and the unions have not protected these teachers.

“Last month the Globe reported that the Los Angeles Unified School District was still firing teachers for being unvaccinated against COVID-19, despite acknowledgment of their religious or medical exemptions.

The Globe has learned that LAUSD is still firing experienced teachers over the COVID vaccine mandate, while simultaneously advertising that they are hiring teachers, and offering $5,000 bonuses to new, right out of college, non-credentialed teachers.

LAUSD is adding to their failure by hiring young, unqualified, un credentialed warm bodies—and giving them a $5,000 bonus for being unqualified.  This is soft core racism.  Children of color deserve quality teachers, not someone needing $5,000.

LAUSD Firing Unvaccinated Teachers and Staff – Even With Teacher Shortage

District offering $5,000 bonuses to new, right out of college, non-credentialed teachers

By Katy Grimes, California Globe,  5/23/23   https://californiaglobe.com/articles/why-does-the-lausd-still-have-a-covid-vaccine-mandate/

Last month the Globe reported that the Los Angeles Unified School District was still firing teachers for being unvaccinated against COVID-19, despite acknowledgment of their religious or medical exemptions.

The Globe has learned that LAUSD is still firing experienced teachers over the COVID vaccine mandate, while simultaneously advertising that they are hiring teachers, and offering $5,000 bonuses to new, right out of college, non-credentialed teachers.

There are several lawsuits against the LAUSD on behalf of teachers and district staff. And because the CDC admitted that the shots are not a vaccine but a therapeutic, everyone has a legal right to refuse. But LAUSD, the second largest school district in the country, doesn’t seem to care and is still letting experienced teacher go.

The Globe has just learned another 10+ LAUSD teachers were given “displacement notices” the week of May 15. Teachers who are displaced effectively lose their jobs unless they get the COVID shot(s).

The UTLA/LAUSD contract specifies that teachers are displaced by seniority. This was not followed with these current teacher displacements or the displacements a year ago, teachers told the Globe. 

The Globe contacted LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, and asked what is behind continuing the COVID vaccine mandate for teachers and school staff:

“I’ve been through the LAUSD website and found the original September 2021 vaccine mandate order for staff and students. I also found the May 2022 updated mandate for teachers and all staff,” the Globe said in the email. “With the President lifting the COVID national emergency and COVID mandates, and Gov. Newsom lifting California’s as well, can you share your concerns and why you are maintaining the COVID vaccine mandate for staff and teachers, and not students?”

We will update the article when the Superintendent replies.*

The Globe talked with Raquel, one of those displaced teachers who said the district kicked her out of her classroom September 20, 2021, and sent her to the district’s virtual (online) teaching. But she was kicked out of that September 2022, as well.

Raquel said she has a religious exemption from the mandatory vaccines, but has been targeted by the district for termination. Yesterday she received a notice from the LAUSD telling her that her “reasonable accommodation” request for next year has been denied.

She called the LAUSD and was told, “get a vaccine and we can rehire you.”

Raquel said she calls the district Human Resource Department to ask about jobs, and asks if the vaccine is required for employment. The answer is always “yes.”

She said within LAUSD, Grenada Hills Charter School requires the vaccine for staff, teachers and students. Teachers who did not comply are fired and students are kicked out of the school.

She has called and emailed the LAUSD but she says they never respond. So she and other displaced teachers attend the board meetings, and in the 3 minutes allowed, beg for their jobs back. Raquel said the district board never responds.

The Globe asked Raquel if other Southern California school districts still require the COVID vaccine for employment. She said Newhall School District never required the shots, nor did the Pasadena School District. She said Glendale School District did for a shot time, and then dropped the mandate.

“LAUSD is the only one hanging on,” Raquel said. She reported a rumor among teachers and staff that one reason the district is hanging on is because they’d have to pay back the displaced and fired teachers. “Eventually they will have to fix what they did to us,” Raquel said.

“We are religious people. We even refuse to teach some of the inappropriate things,” she said. “But when they do layoffs, they only lay off the staff with religious exemptions, and not those with medical exemptions.”

“There is a serious teacher shortage at LAUSD. They are paying $5,000 bonuses, but they doin’t want us back in the classroom.”

Raquel said at one public district board meeting when teachers asked Superintendent Carvalho why the district was just mandating the teachers and staff for the COVID vaccine. “I pay the teachers, not the students,” was his feeble reply.

Another serious issue is that unvaccinated teachers can’t go to LAUSD campuses for any reason, including upcoming graduations, another teacher who asked to remain anonymous told the Globe. “We know many high school students and parents are upset about this. Many parents are upset about not being able to volunteer on school campuses if they’re not vaccinated as well.”

“We also know of at least one teacher who was written up for going on campus for a professional development after receiving an email inviting any LAUSD teachers to attend this optional, paid Professional Development,” the teacher said.

Health Freedom Defense

Teachers lost their jobs for refusing the experimental vaccine, and some were relegated to online teaching and left in limbo, Leslie Manookian, Founder of the Health Freedom Defence Fund said. Teachers were told their religious beliefs didn’t matter, or their medical needs didn’t matter. “Some have had adverse reactions to other shots. They’ve been denied the the ability to protect themselves and their religious beliefs. They’ve been fired for doing so, or were just cast aside.”

In 2021 following LAUSD terminating 1,000 teachers and staff, for declining to take the COVID vaccines, Health Freedom Defense filed suit against the LAUSD.

LAUSD first tried to mandate the COVID vaccine when the shot was introduced, Manookian said. “We sued in 2021, and they rescinded the mandate the next day.” However, that was not the end of it.

“In July 2021, as the case was working its way through the system, LAUSD represented to our attorney and in a brief filed with the court, that there ‘is no mandate’ and that LAUSD had no intention of issuing a mandate. The court accepted this representation in dismissing the case as not ‘ripe’ on July 27, 2021. Thus, if there is no mandate, the lawsuit is not ripe.”

“Seventeen days later LAUSD issued a COVID vaccine mandate,” Manookian said. So they filed suit again.

The LAUSD still has its September 9, 2021 vaccine mandate order on its website:

“As part of the Los Angeles Unified School District’s efforts to provide the safest possible environment in which to learn and work, all students 12 years old and older will be required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by January 10, 2022, unless they have a medical or other exemption.”

“The science is clear – vaccinations are an essential part of protection against COVID-19,” Interim Superintendent Megan K. Reilly said. “The COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective and requiring eligible students to be vaccinated is the strongest way to protect our school community.”

To date, Los Angeles Unified’s robust safety measures include daily health checks for everyone going onto school campuses, masks, comprehensive COVID-19 testing, contact tracing and isolation of cases, hand sanitizer, increased sanitization/cleaning of schools and upgraded ventilation. This additional step provides another layer of safety in schools.

Under the Frequently Asked Questions section, LAUSD defines what “fully vaccinated” means, and who must be vaccinated:

1. “Fully-vaccinated” refers to an individual who has received the first and second doses of the vaccine (or, in the case of Johnson & Johnson, the single required dose) and has completed the two-week period that follows to ensure maximum immunity.
2. all District employees, Partners, Contractors and other adults who provide services on District property will be mandated to be fully- vaccinated against COVID-19 no later than October 15, 2021 as a condition of continued employment/service.

And if an employee refuses the COVID shot?

• Although the District is requiring vaccines for employees, the District will still engage in an interactive process to determine if a reasonable accommodation exists to permit an employee to continue working who cannot take the vaccine due to disability or sincerely held religious belief.

But that is not actually happening according to teachers who have been fired and are in permanent unpaid limbo.

The teachers explain the history and their situations:

In August 2021, the Los Angeles Unified School District mandated the COVID-19 vaccine for all employees, even though CDC had acknowledged on July 27, 2021 that the vaccines stopped neither transmission nor infection. And even though LAUSD had represented to the federal district court in July, 2021 that it did not intend to mandate the vaccine after CAEMF had sued LAUSD over its mandate of the experimental Emergency Use Authorization vaccine leading to the court dismissing the case as moot as there was no longer a mandate.

Beginning in October 2021, LAUSD displaced 1000+ teachers/employees, and blocked them from school campuses who refused the vaccine mandate, which is still true today. Since then, over 500 employees have been fired and 300 teachers/employees remain displaced and unpaid.  Another 300 teachers are still forced to teach online in the Virtual Academy and have faced losing their jobs as well. 

There are several lawsuits against the LAUSD vax mandates.  The teachers say their labor union, the United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA), has been complicit and not supportive in the teacher vaccine mandate.

UPDATE: a Los Angeles Unified spokesperson replied to the Globe at 3:00pm Tuesday:

“At this time, Los Angeles Unified’s vaccine policy remains the same.”

Will 2400 acres in Morro Bay be used to create housing—or become a park, If a park, this will make it more difficult for San Luis Obispo County to meet the outrageous mandate of Sacramento to provide more homes.  Either way, the developer owns the land—but a judge will decide how or if they can use it.  Private property?  Not in California.

“Federman sided with PG&E in the court case and tentatively decided HomeFed’s lease on the Wild Cherry Canyon lands expired in 2019. That’s because she found the Wild Cherry Canyon land was leased to HomeFed in 1968 primarily for agricultural purposes, so it was limited to a 51-year term instead of the two 99-year terms HomeFed argued for during the case. Therefore, control of the 2,400 acres belongs solely to PG&E, according to Federman’s Monday decision.

HomeFed has 30 days to request a different ruling be made, which the judge must consider before issuing a final decision. The Wild Cherry Canyon property is a 2,400-acre ranch in the hills above Avila Beach and Port San Luis.

This is a difficult decision.  Gives more reason for developers to go outside of California to work.  How many jobs were lost?  How much in tax revenues were lost?  This is a minor skirmish in the economic collapse of California.

Homes likely won’t be built in hills near Diablo Canyon after SLO judge sides with PG&E

 BY MACKENZIE SHUMAN, SLO Union Tribune,  5/23/23  https://www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/environment/article275703826.html

 PG&E and HomeFed, a development company, are in a court fight over the future of Wild Cherry Canyon above Port San Luis and Avila Beach. A judge will determine how the property is used.

After a four-year court battle, a San Luis Obispo Superior Court judge has decided that the rights to 2,400 acres of nearly pristine coastal hills near Avila Beach do not belong to a home developer. The decision is a victory for PG&E and local conservation groups, which have no interest in seeing homes built on the scenic property that offers expansive views of the ocean. Judge Rita Federman issued her proposed decision on Monday to PG&E subsidiary Eureka Energy Corp. and Pacho and San Luis Bay limited partnerships, which are largely owned by HomeFed Corp., a real estate developer.

Federman sided with PG&E in the court case and tentatively decided HomeFed’s lease on the Wild Cherry Canyon lands expired in 2019. That’s because she found the Wild Cherry Canyon land was leased to HomeFed in 1968 primarily for agricultural purposes, so it was limited to a 51-year term instead of the two 99-year terms HomeFed argued for during the case. Therefore, control of the 2,400 acres belongs solely to PG&E, according to Federman’s Monday decision.

HomeFed has 30 days to request a different ruling be made, which the judge must consider before issuing a final decision. The Wild Cherry Canyon property is a 2,400-acre ranch in the hills above Avila Beach and Port San Luis.

BATTLE OVER CONSERVATION OR DEVELOPMENT OF WILD CHERRY CANYON

Federman’s decision comes five years after rumors circulated that HomeFed was preparing to build a 15,000-home city at Wild Cherry Canyon. The news prompted a surprised response from PG&E and unhappy turmoil in the local community. The 2,400 acres that makeup Wild Cherry Canyon are part of the 12,000 undeveloped acres that serve as a buffer around Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant. Conservation groups had, over many years throughout the early 2000s and 2010s, attempted but failed to buy the land and save it from development.

 In 2019, HomeFed sued PG&E over the term of the lease. HomeFed argued that the lease was valid until 2166, while PG&E said it was only valid until 2019. Land leases for agricultural purposes are limited to 51 years under California law, but HomeFed had argued the land, although used for cattle grazing, was intended to be developed. During the court trial over the lease of the land, which took place in the fall, HomeFed witnesses showed their plans to develop the property. This included everything from a dude ranch concept to building 2,500 housing units as an “urban village,” according to witness testimony.

Had HomeFed won the case, it likely would “fight with the world to get a (development) project entitled,” testified Joseph Steinberg, chairman of Jefferies Financial Group, a New York-based investment banking firm that owns 90% of HomeFed’s Wild Cherry Canyon leasehold. Such a project could have meant leveling off the tops of the coastal hills to make way for vacation and second homes for out-of-towners, Steinberg said in his testimony.

COURT DECISION LIKELY MEANS LAND WILL NOT BE DEVELOPED

But Federman’s proposed decision paints the possibility for a different future for the land — one that has largely been supported by community members. During the trial, PG&E senior regulatory and environmental director Tom Jones said the utility company does not want to develop Wild Cherry Canyon because of its proximity to the Diablo Canyon Power Plant. “Any development there could be quite complex from an emergency planning standpoint,” Jones testified. “It (development) wouldn’t be tolerable for us.” On May 11, the California Natural Resources Agency released a plan for the 12,000-acre Diablo Canyon lands that noted Wild Cherry Canyon could be transferred to California State Parks when the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant is eventually decommissioned.

That way, Wild Cherry Canyon could connect to Montaña de Oro State Park near Los Osos via a trail. The Natural Resources Agency then proposed that a tribal entity could have a conservation and access easement on the land. This would prevent any major development on the 2,400 acres forever. The 2,400-acre Wild Cherry Canyon property is located in the hills above Avila Beach and Port San Luis. David Middlecamp dmiddlecamp@thetribunenews.com The agency’s plan was required under Senate Bill 846, which allocated $160 million for the creation and implementation of a land conservation and economic development plan for the 12,000-acre Diablo Canyon lands.

That bill also allowed for $1.4 billion to be loaned to PG&E to help pay for continued operations of the power plant through 2030. The court case only decided whether HomeFed could continue to lease Wild Cherry Canyon, Federman noted in her decision. “Although the court received lengthy testimony about the potential development of the property for a wide range of uses, this case does not concern, and will not decide, whether and how the property may be used or developed in the future,” Federman wrote.

Representatives from PG&E and HomeFed did not immediately respond to a Tribune request for comment.

This is a stupid story.  If you refuse to show up for work, you have quit.  Amazon needs to accept that fact.  Yet, these “workers” do not want to go to work because of Amazons’ climate change policies?  These people do not have the brains to pick product for shipment, much less management.

“One of the internal groups spearheading next week’s walkout is dubbed Amazon Employees for Climate Justice (AECJ), the same coalition that organized protests slamming the company for inaction on climate change back in 2019.

“Amazon must keep pace with a changing world,” the group wrote in a Twitter thread Tuesday calling for the walkout next week. “To cultivate a diverse, world-class workplace, we need real plans to tackle our climate impact and flexible work options.”

Amazon’s Climate Pledge, signed in 2019, commits the company to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, among other climate goals. But in the Twitter thread, the group blasted the pledge as “hype” and demanded “a genuine climate plan.”

Actually, the walkout makes it easier for Amazon in cutting employees—if they do not want to work, they quit—and not replaced.  For these that want to want, this is a good thing.

Amazon corporate workers plan walkout next week over return-to-office policies

By Catherine Thorbecke, CNN,   5/23/23    https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/23/tech/amazon-walkout/index.html

Some Amazon corporate workers have announced plans to walk off the job next week over frustrations with the company’s return-to-work policies, among other issues, in a sign of heightened tensions inside the e-commerce giant after multiple rounds of layoffs.

The work stoppage is being jointly organized by an internal climate justice worker group and a remote work advocacy group, according to an email from organizers and public social media posts.

Workers participating have two main demands: asking the e-commerce giant to put climate impact at the forefront of its decision making, and to provide greater flexibility for how and where employees work.

The lunchtime walkout is scheduled for May 31, beginning at noon. Organizers have said in an internal pledge that they are only going to go through with the walkout if at least 1,000 workers agree to participate, according to an email from organizers.

The Washington Post was first to report the planned walkout.

The collective action from corporate workers comes after Amazon, like other Big Tech companies, cut tens of thousands of jobs beginning late last year amid broader economic uncertainty. All told, Amazon has said this year that it is laying off some 27,000 workers in multiple rounds of cuts.

At the same time, Amazon and other tech companies are trying to get workers into the office more. In February, Amazon said it was requiring thousands of its workers to be in the office for at least three days per week, starting on May 1.

“Morale is really at an all-time low right now,” an Amazon corporate worker based in Los Angeles, who plans on participating in the walkout next week, told CNN. “I think the hope from this walkout is really to send a clear message to leadership that we’re expecting real action from them on a number of issues, with the thesis of just, like, we need better long term decision-making that benefits not only employees but the communities that we serve.”

The worker, who asked not to be named, said organizers are focusing the in-person walkout efforts at the company’s Seattle headquarters but have also created a way for people to participate virtually so “all Amazonians are welcome to participate.”

One of the internal groups spearheading next week’s walkout is dubbed Amazon Employees for Climate Justice (AECJ), the same coalition that organized protests slamming the company for inaction on climate change back in 2019.

“Amazon must keep pace with a changing world,” the group wrote in a Twitter thread Tuesday calling for the walkout next week. “To cultivate a diverse, world-class workplace, we need real plans to tackle our climate impact and flexible work options.”

Amazon’s Climate Pledge, signed in 2019, commits the company to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, among other climate goals. But in the Twitter thread, the group blasted the pledge as “hype” and demanded “a genuine climate plan.”

Amazon said it has made progress in meeting its goals, including by putting thousands of electric delivery vehicles on the road, and by continuing to invest in both proven and new science-backed solutions for reducing carbon emissions. Amazon also said it had the goal of powering 100% of its operations with renewable energy by 2030, and now expects to meet that goal by 2025.

“We respect our employees’ rights to express their opinions,” Rob Munoz, an Amazon spokesperson, told CNN in a statement Tuesday.

In response to employee concerns about the return to office, Munoz said the company has “had a great few weeks with more employees in the office.”

“There’s been good energy on campus and in urban cores like Seattle where we have a large presence. We’ve heard this from lots of employees and the businesses that surround our offices,” Munoz said. “As it pertains to the specific topics this group of employees is raising, we’ve explained our thinking in different forums over the past few months and will continue to do so.”

Fascist Fauci told us to follow the science—even though he denied the science and lied up a storm about COVID, where it came from the dangerous drugs he demanded we take, the closing of churches, schools and businesses.  Global warming is based not only on false data, but liars trying to make a buck, like Al Gore.

“It is hard to find any data to support what we have been told about temperatures and the climate, yet we repeatedly see the talking point that “the science is settled” and people saying the dire predictions have been true.

Here is a report that shows that Arctic ice, which has been measured only since 1981, is melting slower than normal, because it is cooler than normal.  And that it is at 95% of the average — 5.4 million square miles versus 5.67 million square miles.

The prediction was that the ice was melting fast and would soon be gone, not that sometimes it is melting and sometimes it is expanding.”

That is just one example of the abuse of the public.

On global warming, so many problems with the data

By Jack Hellner, American Thinker,  5/22/23  https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/05/on_global_warming_so_many_problems_with_the_data.html

It is hard to find any data to support what we have been told about temperatures and the climate, yet we repeatedly see the talking point that “the science is settled” and people saying the dire predictions have been true.

Here is a report that shows that Arctic ice, which has been measured only since 1981, is melting slower than normal, because it is cooler than normal.  And that it is at 95% of the average — 5.4 million square miles versus 5.67 million square miles.

The prediction was that the ice was melting fast and would soon be gone, not that sometimes it is melting and sometimes it is expanding.

The rate of sea ice loss for April 2023 was slow, owing to cool conditions across the ice-covered Arctic Ocean and below-average to near-average temperatures near the ice edge.

The April 2023 average Arctic sea ice extent was 13.99 million square kilometers (5.40 million square miles), tied with 2004 as the tenth lowest April in the satellite record (Figure 1a). The average monthly extent was 700,000 square kilometers (270,000 square miles) below the 1981 to 2010 average of 14.69 million square kilometers (5.67 million square miles), but 560,000 square kilometers (216,000 square miles) above the record low set in April 2019.

We have been told for years that we would have snowless winters, not that sometimes we would have record snows, as we did out west this year.

We have been told that oceans are rising rapidly, and coastal cities would soon be underwater, not that they have risen an essentially immeasurable 9 inches in 140 years.

Why don’t the media and other green pushers tell the truth instead of giving dire predictions?  The answer is that people wouldn’t capitulate if they learned the truth.

Global mean sea level has risen about 8–9 inches (21–24 centimeters) since 1880.

Anybody who believes that oceans, that average 12,080 feet deep, can be measured accurately within inches over centuries and that they can tell the cause of the increase needs to have his I.Q. examined.

The average depth of the ocean is 12,080 feet.

Why are people, especially children, told the intentional lie that thousands of species are dying each year because of humans and our use of natural resources when the truth is that scientists can identify only 800 animal species that have gone extinct in the last 400 years, or two per year?  The answer is clearly that the truth would not get support for the radical green agenda.

The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, which involved more than a thousand experts, estimated an extinction rate that was later calculated at up to 8,700 species a year, or 24 a day.  More recently, scientists at the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity concluded that “[e]very day, up to 150 species are lost.”  That could be as much as 10 percent a decade.

Yet only about 800 extinctions have been documented in the past 400 years.

“There are almost no empirical data to support estimates of current extinctions of 100, or even one, species a day,” he concluded.

The media say they couldn’t report about the Biden family corruption because they couldn’t verify the story, but they gladly report the made-up numbers from the WHO to scare the public.

The World Health Organization (WHO) warns in a report released Friday that rising temperatures could lead to more than nine million additional deaths each year by the end of the century.

Why don’t we read the facts instead, which are that more people die from the cold than heat, and it is very few people?

According to a 2014 study by the CDC, approximately 1,300 deaths per year from 2006 to 2010 were coded as resulting from extreme cold exposure, and 670 deaths per year from extreme heat.

Or this:

The study — published in the British journal The Lancet — analyzed data on more than 74 million deaths in 13 countries between 1985 and 2012. Of those, 5.4 million deaths were related to cold, while 311,000 were related to heat.

Here are some of the destructive policies of the radical greenies that are based on predictions, not scientific data:

The destruction of energy-producing companies that produce reasonably priced energy.  (They clearly don’t care about the harm to the poor and middle class by high inflation.)

The promotion of the highly flammable pollutant lithium while seeking to control CO2, a non-pollutant clear gas that makes plants grow and allows the world to be fed.

Spending trillions on carbon capture.

Selling worthless carbon credits so people like John Kerry can pretend they care as they fly in their private jets.

Outlawing gas stoves, furnaces, lawnmowers, leaf-blowers, and gas grills.

The destruction of fishing and killing of whales by wind farms.

Environmentalists claim to worry about landfills and pollution, so where are they going to put all the gas-powered equipment, which will be worthless when the wind turbines wear out?

Why should anyone trust the same people who did the following when they said they could control temperatures, sea levels, and storm activity, if we just hand over trillions, and give up our freedom and quality of life?

They lied that we could keep our health plan and doctor, and our premiums would go down.

They lied throughout COVID and then claimed to be surprised when children became depressed and their test scores went down.

They refused to control the border but lied that the border was closed.

They supported soft-on-crime district attorneys but claimed they weren’t soft on crime even as crime goes up.

They lied continuously to destroy Trump without evidence and refused to support his policies, which were lifting all races.

They lied to get the corrupt, incompetent Biden into office.

The problem is not Biden’s age.  It is his incompetence, ignorance, and dishonesty as he forces America to adapt to the radical, leftist agenda.

We should recognize the media, Biden, and other Democrats with the appropriate slogan, abbreviated as MAPA: “Make America Poor Again.”

The value of Disney stock has dropped by billions.  Now they are continuing firing employees.

“A third wave of expected layoffs is underway at Disney, and employees impacted by the cuts are being notified this week, a source familiar with the situation told CNN.

More than 2,500 staff are expected to lose their jobs across the latest wave of layoffs, the source said, in what is anticipated to be the last significant round of cuts that were previously announced by Disney CEO Bob Iger. It was not immediately known which divisions would be impacted by the latest round of cuts.

A Disney (DIS) spokesperson declined to comment.

The first two waves of layoffs took place in March and April, eliminating roughly 4,000 jobs, including at ESPN, Disney’s entertainment division, Disney Parks, and its Experiences and Product division.

While it not in the Bud Light territory, we need to watch the purchase of Disney products for Christmas to see if families turn away from the pornographic hate mongering of the Disney brand.

Disney begins third round of expected layoffs, cutting more than 2,500 additional jobs, source says

By Liam Reilly and Jon Passantino, CNN, 5/22/23   https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/22/media/disney-layoffs/index.html:45

A third wave of expected layoffs is underway at Disney, and employees impacted by the cuts are being notified this week, a source familiar with the situation told CNN.

More than 2,500 staff are expected to lose their jobs across the latest wave of layoffs, the source said, in what is anticipated to be the last significant round of cuts that were previously announced by Disney CEO Bob Iger. It was not immediately known which divisions would be impacted by the latest round of cuts.

A Disney (DIS) spokesperson declined to comment.

The first two waves of layoffs took place in March and April, eliminating roughly 4,000 jobs, including at ESPN, Disney’s entertainment division, Disney Parks, and its Experiences and Product division.

In February, Iger announced the media giant would axe roughly 7,000 employees from its global workforce in three waves before the start of summer, an undertaking aimed at saving $5.5 billion in costs. The labor cuts make up 30% of this figure, with another 50% coming from marketing operations and 20% from decreased spending on technology, procurement, and other expenses, the company said.

The latest wave of layoffs taking place this week is expected to bring the total number of job cuts to more than 6,500, approaching the 7,000 figure previously announced by Iger. As of October 1, Disney had 220,000 employees — making the 7,000-person reduction about 3% of its global workforce.
