COSTCO's DEI tone-deafness
Posted By: Msquared112, 12/30/2024 7:06:27 AM
It seems COSTCO has not gotten the message and is doubling down on its DEI policies while other large companies and many small ones are jettisoning their DEI programs. As if this were not enough, COSTCO is threatening its shareholders with lawsuits if they do not jump as high as the DEI devils want. Right now: "The proposal noted that while Costco has changed around the names of its DEI initiatives, they remain rather unchanged in practice. “With 310,000 employees, Costco likely has at least 200,000 employees who are potentially victims of this type of illegal discrimination because they are white, Asian, male or straight,”...

Cracker Barrel got its butt whupped last week when it tried to change its logo from the old-fashioned one to a sterile new one. Stockholders and the public rebelled, good and hard. Cracker Barrel saw the error of its ways and relented, caving in to public pressure; it brought back the old logo. But the logo isn’t the problem.
Just yesterday, Cracker Barrel, with its deeply ingrained DEI structure, tried again to nickel-dime the American consumer by cancelling only one of its far-left sponsorships — they withdrew support for “Nashville Pride”, a gay street event.

The Martin Luther King Jr. conspiracy has an eerie ring to it: as we’ve been told, the FBI et al. couldn’t find much on him, so they engaged in a non-stop effort to discredit, smear, and destroy his reputation. It sounds very much like what they tried and are still trying to do to Trump. The Deep State and FBI and counter-intel finally got their wish — King was assassinated. I have little regard for MLK’s moral code: he wasn’t a saint by a long-shot, but what stands out is the government involvement once again
As I watched yet another failed effort by the Democrats to impeach Trump, my first reaction was, “Wow, some Democrats are catching on that this radical behavior is a very bad idea.” It seems that their far-left outrages of the past few years have driven them so far off the normalcy spectrum that voters tossed them aside in huge numbers last November in order to say that no more deeply disturbing perverseness and anti-Americanism will be tolerated. Trump won in a massive victory when the voters rejected delusionary thinking in an anti-trans, anti-perversion, pro-America keel-hauling of the Democrat party.
Procter & Gamble and other prominent corporations fund a "racial justice" group whose leader, a former Obama White House official, lashed out this week at what he called "white mediocrity" and urged a "woke" army of black youth "to wage war with whiteness." David Johns, who led President Barack Obama’s White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans, made the remarks at an event Tuesday to promote a boycott against Target for rolling back its DEI programs.(snip) The nonprofit lists companies like Airbnb, Sephora, Sony, and Procter & Gamble as sponsors.

Now that DEI is on its way out (with some major holdouts like Costco and Disney), something intelligent should replace it.
With our culture's fondness for acronyms, we need a new one such as MCF. It's not enough to say just "Let's go back to the way it was" because too many people don't remember or never knew how it is supposed to be.
We need hiring and promotion based solely on Merit, Competence, and Fairness.

President Trump can handle himself just fine, but I would especially love to see him win over the Black community bigly and sweep this election handily.
To this end, I humbly offer the Trumpster the following speech for his perusal:
“Americans of all colors, I have a message for you. Are you tired of being talked down to by white people or black people affecting phony black or Southern accents? Are you tired of violence in your neighborhoods and are you tired of being unable to call the cops because Democrats have cut services and defunded the police?
The Death of Truth is Killing America

Lies abound: Men can be women, men can menstruate and nurse babies, America is racist, the incompetent should be elevated while the competent get shoved off a cliff.
Universities are educating, Trump threatens democracy, Democrats can fix what’s wrong. Kamala is fit to be POTUS, Tim Walz is normal, and DEI isn’t reparations and the theft of merit.
The American media and political class have a new mantra: Conservatives and Republicans are weird.
We’re weird? Seriously? They can say that with a straight face? I’ll tell you what’s really weird.
What’s weird is men in women’s clothing, sometimes with mustaches, being placed in high positions in our government. Some of them steal suitcases and clothing.
What’s weird is Drag Queen Story Hour, where men dressed as women, often in scanty prosti-suits, gyrating on stage for very young boys and girls, are accompanied by their approving parents.
Kamala's Chances

Talk about failing upward. Recent reports that everyone’s favorite Vice President is about to enjoy a major career enhancement should remove any doubt of a divine power intent upon intervening on America’s behalf. Nixon had his Ford insurance policy to shield against impeachment. The thought of that dummy becoming president was supposed to shield against Nixon’s enemies defenestrating him. How well did that work out? Saint Kamala of California was supposed to be Biden’s Ford. It is beginning to look like this analogy is becoming more true than anyone could have anticipated.
The media loses the game

POTATUS (hat tip to BEEGE WELBORN of Hot Air) is suddenly persona non grata after his strabismus-inducing debate performance. Well, maybe not so suddenly. Everyone with a scintilla of firing neurons knew that Joe Biden was not all there. Excuses to the contrary fall on bored and jaded ears. The media made their Biden-bed and now that they are forced to lie in it, they pretend that we put the bedbugs in it. No, their own dirt attracted those bedbugs, so they have no excuse for blaming anyone else.
The deliberate murder of virtue
5 replies
For decades, the American Left has been making a deliberate and successful attempt to kill virtue.
Much of what they do demonstrates a disregard for normal traditional American virtues such as decency, consideration, productivity, respect, decorum, honor, and moderation.
The truly virtuous would never dream of announcing their sexual preferences in public. The only reason to do that is to draw attention to yourself and your private parts. Every year, San Francisco offers a sickening public street festival called Up Your Alley for the gay bondage, discipline and sadomasochism subculture. If you dare to look it up (I cannot bring myself to include the link), beware. Just … beware.

Florida’s immigration jail known as “Alligator Alcatraz” will probably be empty of detainees within days, a state official has said, indicating compliance with a judge’s order last week that the facility must close.
The Republican governor Ron DeSantis’s administration appealed the order by federal court judge Kathleen Williams that the tented detention camp in the Florida Everglades, which attracted criticism for its harsh conditions, must be dismantled within 60 days.
But in an email reported Wednesday by the Associated Press, Kevin Guthrie, executive director of the Florida department of emergency management, which operates the jail on behalf of the federal government, appeared to confirm it would be shuttered.
President Trump has threatened to send National Guard troops into more American cities after deploying soldiers in Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles this year He’s highlighted Baltimore and Chicago as cities in particular need of help fighting crime, though Monday he appeared to back off his threat to unilaterally deploy the National Guard into cities uninvited.
Baltimore has the third-highest rate of violent crime, while Chicago ranks 29th among cities with at least 500,000 residents, according to the latest FBI data.
Trump’s focus on cities in blue states — those led by Democratic governors — with Black mayors has drawn criticism from Democrats,

MSNBC’s Jen Psaki wasted no time at all trying to capitalize on the horrific school shooting at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Wednesday. Police responded to the ghastly scene at the school shortly before 8:27 a.m. local time. After the dust settled, authorities revealed that two children died and 17 people were injured during the attack. Less than three hours later, Psaki, the Democratic flack-turned-de facto-Democratic flack, was doing the only thing she knows how to. “Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does not end school shootings. prayers do not make parents feel safe sending their kids

A second criminal referral was filed against Lisa Cook on Thursday, alleging the embattled Federal Reserve Board governor may have made “misrepresentations” on mortgage documents and government disclosures. The complaint to the Justice Department was lodged by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte, who was the source of the initial criminal referral that President Trump is using to attempt to fire Cook “for cause.” “3 strikes and you’re out.

The mother of transgender Minneapolis mass shooter Robin Westman is not cooperating with police in the investigation, authorities announced on Thursday.
Mary Grace Westman, who worked at Annunciation Catholic School, which was targeted by the deranged 23-year-old gunman Wednesday morning, has not contacted police — nor responded to their attempts to reach her, Minneapolis police announced at a press conference Thursday.

An NPR host issued a clarification Wednesday after Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., referred to the Annunciation Catholic School shooter in Minneapolis as a "he" during an interview with the outlet. In an interview with NPR host Ailsa Chang, conducted hours after the killings, Klobuchar used male pronouns to refer to the deceased shooter. After the interview ended, Chang noted the gender of the shooter was "unclear." "And just a point of clarification, Senator Klobuchar referenced the shooter as ‘he.’ Although police have identified a suspect, it's still unclear at this time what that person's gender is or how they identify,''
The sewage in New England's exclusive Nantucket retreat is full of cocaine, according to local authorities, who this summer began testing it to monitor potential drug use in a popular summer getaway for the rich and powerful.
"During COVID, a lot of these communities, and most communities, decided that it was important for them to start testing the water to see if there were any spikes in COVID in the region." said Randolph Rice, a Maryland attorney and legal analyst. "But what Nantucket has now decided to do as of the beginning of the summer is to actually start testing for other types of substances, particularly drugs, nicotine and other items
The black community’s disengagement from ordinary acts of civic responsibility is harming America as a whole, but mostly, it’s harming blacks. To save their communities, blacks need to reengage with what was once normative polite conduct across American society. To appreciate this point, consider the tales told by abandoned shopping carts and litter. [snip] Here’s the thing: Shopping carts and litter are just the most benign signs of conscientiousness and citizenship. The lack of such betrays itself in far more malignant ways as well, and we’re seeing that across the country, particularly in videos: Spirit Airlines airport counters. Six Flags parks. Carnival Cruise Line ships.
The mother of a 12-year-old girl who was raped by a Somali migrant has said her family has received death threats from the Somali community, according to a memo written by state prosecutors.

As all men who don't actively hate themselves continue to flee the Democrat party in droves, lefty strategists have been ramping up efforts to recruit and run manly candidates. That is certainly something they should be endeavoring to do, but sadly, they can't seem to hurdle a major stumbling block: They don't know what a man is any more than they know what a woman is, let alone a red-blooded patriotic Christian fellow who bows to no other man except the Lord.[snip]Sand fits the left's shallow caricature of what a "Christian Conservative" is,
Former Vice President Kamala Harris lost her Secret Service protection Thursday after President Donald Trump withdrew the privilege. An Oval Office directive instructs the agency to discontinue all security procedures beyond those required by law, effective September 1, Newsweekreports.(snip)Harris originally had her protection extended by Biden from beyond the traditional six months previously afforded VP’s after they leave office. CNN notes Biden’s order to extend was secret – not made public until now – signed by him shortly before leaving office, according to multiple people familiar with the undisclosed arrangement.
Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook sued President Trump in federal court Thursday for trying to fire her over mortgage fraud allegations.
