DEI Dying - Amazon Next Off the Boat
Posted By: Dreadnought, 1/11/2025 1:07:35 AM
This is getting to be a tsunami of DEI defections, and how delicious! Just this afternoon, another big name in the wokest game on Earth decided they were cashing in their chips before public opinion - and an incoming Trump administration - cashed them in for them. An Amazon email last month announced to employees that the company was scaling back and consolidating some of its DEI programs - trimming around the edges on some of those 'initiatives' - although which ones were on the chopping block were spelled out.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is reportedly attempting to kill the Laken Riley Act, a bill that requires the DHS to take illegal aliens who have been charged, arrested, or convicted for crimes such as theft, larceny, burglary or shoplifting into custody.
Pablo Manriquez, a news reporter, wrote in a post on X that “sources at DHS” were informing him that the cost of the Laken Riley Act was estimated to be between $20-$30 billion.
Manriquez added that the DHS sources had cited “a $7 billion figure just for beds BEFORE the mandate’s costs on local law enforcement.”
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has signed an executive order to suspend regulations that would impede the rebuilding process following the destructive wildfires.
The three-page executive order signed by the governor this week would aim to streamline the building permit process as well as rollback environmental regulations that would subject rebuilding to layers of time-consuming bureaucracy. The order covers all of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, both of which were affected by the wildfires, which have been estimated to be the costliest in California history.
The insurance industry in California was already reeling from a combination of natural disasters and the political disaster known as the Democratic Party in California.
As for the former, the combination of too few controlled burns, drier-than-normal weather, and idiotic zoning regulations pushing people into fire-prone areas all contributed to a situation that only needed someone to light a match. And someone did.
The sheer idiocy of California Democratic Party officials preferring to embrace environmental posturing
Outrage is exploding over a push by numerous Democrats to get people to donate to wildfire "relief funds" facilitated through ActBlue, the party's scandal-ridden fundraising apparatus.
As RedState reported on Saturday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom made the ill-advised move to go on "Pod Save America," a far-left show run by former Barack Obama staffers, while large parts of Los Angeles County still burned. His attempt to pass the buck and paint himself as an innocent bystander amid a laundry list of government failures was bad enough, but then came the plea for donations.
Trump will be inaugurated as the nation’s 47th president on January 20, and reports indicate that he plans to arrive at the Oval Office armed with over 100 executive orders dealing with border and energy security. He met with Republican senators Wednesday and talked about his plans, and some of the participants are revealing what he said.
During a Thursday morning appearance on "Fox & Friends" Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., said that Trump indicated that there are almost 100 executive orders to address issues like border security and U.S. energy.
"He threw that out — 100 — there could be like 100 EOs, yeah. I believe him,"
Recently, Meta (a.k.a. Facebook) CEO, owner, founder, and cyborg Mark Zuckerberg has been all over the news. First, he made liberal heads explode by donating seven figures to the Trump inauguration, making a pilgrimage from his Hawaiian mansion to Mar-a-Lago to play footsie with the president-elect. Next, he announced the biggest shift in Facebook censoring policies in years: No longer will users be banned, punished, or blocked for commenting on sensitive political issues. Hell, if you wanna call a trans person mentally ill, have at it.
Zuck even went as far as removing the tampons from the men’s bathroom. (GASP!)
And to cap it off, he appointed Trump ally Dana White
Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis, as usual, hit the nail right on the head the other day.
Fox News headlined:
DeSantis calls for media to hold Democratic California leaders accountable for wildfires: 'Have not seen that’
DeSantis said he'd like to 'see some balance' in how Democrat and Republican leaders are treated by some media
The story reported as follows, with bold print for emphasis supplied: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called out a reporter on Thursday for the lack of blame being placed on California leaders for the devastating wildfires, pointing out that it's in stark contrast to how Republican leaders are often treated in the wake of disasters.
DeSantis, and all other Republican
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) revealed that firefighters from Mexico were coming to assist with the ongoing Eaton Fire.
In a post on X, Newsom expressed gratefulness for Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum’s “support” as California officials “work to suppress the Los Angeles wildfires.” Newsom has received criticism from California residents who have demanded to know what he is going to do in response to the wildfires.
Newsom added that the firefighters coming from Mexico would be “joining more than 10,000 personnel already on the ground.”
“Firefighters from Mexico are en route to the #EatonFire — joining more than 10,000 personnel already on the ground,”

Former Vice President Mike Pence revealed that he congratulated President-elect Donald Trump on his win in the presidential election during former President James Earl “Jimmy” Carter Jr.’s funeral.
In an interview with Christianity Today, Pence revealed that Trump “greeted” Pence as he was coming down the aisle, and Pence congratulated him on his win against Vice President Kamala Harris in the November presidential election. Carter passed away at the age of 100 at the end of December.
“He greeted me when he came down the aisle,” Pence told the outlet. “I stood up, extended my hand. He shook my hand. I said, ‘Congratulations, Mr. President,’ and he said, ‘Thanks, Mike.'”
Members of the Hollywood elite are having a collective meltdown in response to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announcing his company will start embracing free speech on its platforms Facebook, Instagram, and Threads platforms.
As Breitbart News reported, Zuckerberg stunned the world Tuesday when he revealed there would be major changes to content moderation policies on his platforms, citing a desire to embrace free speech and avoid censorship. The Meta CEO explained that one of his first steps will be scrapping third-party “fact checkers,” which are notorious for leftist bias.
Special counsel Jack Smith, who brought two criminal investigations against Donald Trump, resigned on Friday ahead of the president-elect’s inauguration.
Smith’s expected departure was revealed in a court filing that Justice Department officials submitted to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon in Florida on Saturday, asking her to refrain from extending a court order used to block the release of Smith’s final confidential report summarizing the two federal Trump probes. Those cases are now closed.

The tiny Delta Smelt fish have not been seen in the wild in California in over a decade.
And yet, California Democrats flushed annual water flow into the ocean to save this little fish that they can’t even find in its natural habitat.
Now several cities are burnt to the ground.
They sacrificed entire communities for a fish that doesn’t exist. (Snip) For the seventh September in a row, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has caught zero Delta smelt during its Fall Midwater Trawl Survey of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.
The last time Delta smelt – an indicator species for the broader ecological health estuary – were found
Comedians and Act Your Age co-stars Yvette Nicole Brown and Kym Whitley are standing behind Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass amid the wildfire crisis, and they believe the harsh criticism she's receiving is race related.
'Let me tell you something, she's got a spine of steel,' Yvette told TMZ outside a grocery store on Saturday.
'And she's also been a Black woman in America for a long time, so none of this is new to her. We are mad, because we're tired of it.'

Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) claimed Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that President-elect Donald Trump was politicizing wildfires in Southern California.
Reporter Jacob Soboroff asked, “President-elect Trump has blamed you for this crisis. He’s called you incompetent. What’s your response?”Newsom said, “Well, I called for him to come out, take a look for himself. We want to do it in the spirit of an open hand, not a closed fist. He’s the president-elect. I respect the office. We have a president of the United States that within 36 hours provided a major disaster declaration over a text.

It's no secret that Steve Bannon, once a top aide to Donald Trump, isn't a fan of the president-elect's newest buddy Elon Musk.
But Bannon took his criticism even further last week, telling an Italian newspaper that he will take the billionaire down before Trump's Inauguration day this month.
The comments were basically a declaration of war against the Tesla, SpaceX and X boss who has strategically placed himself within the innermost circle of the incoming president and the latest in Bannon's attacks on him.
'I will have Elon Musk run out of here by Inauguration Day,'
At this point, if Iran test detonates a nuke before Jan 20, I would put good money on someone in the Biden administration having Fed-Exed them the parts.[SNIP] The Biden administration in its final days is shifting more than $100 million in military aid from Israel and Egypt to Lebanon as it tries to bolster a ceasefire agreement it helped mediate between Israel and Hezbollah.
In separate notices sent to Congress, the State Department said it was moving $95 million in military assistance intended for Egypt and $7.5 million for Israel toward supporting the Lebanese army and its government.

Like everyone I am horrified by the devastation in Los Angeles. The scale is beyond imagining, and the incompetence of city and state government so blatant, they will all need close security for the rest of their lives. Of course people are pointing to the Olympics in ‘28, and the inclusion of Los Angeles in the Smart Cities transition which basically means monitoring your very outbreath. Easier to do with fewer residents. Just build thirty-thousand high-rises, and house the cattle to be monitored and monetized.
A DEI Green New Deal Hydrogen Bomb

That’s how Victor David Hanson describes this week’s catastrophic wildfires in California.
“It was a total systems collapse from the idea of not spending money on irrigation, storage, water, fire prevention and forest management, a viable insurance industry, a DEI hierarchy, you put it all together and it's something like a DEI Green New Deal hydrogen bomb… Gavin Newsom was fiddling, he's almost Nero Newsom. And this has been something that is just unimaginable… The systems breakdown. And to finish, what we're seeing in California is a state with 40 million people. And yet the people who run it feel that it should return to a 19th century pastoral
Liberal talk host Bill Maher appeared on CNN this weekend and told Jake Tapper that he doesn’t think history will be kind to Joe Biden.
Maher’s criticism stems mainly from Joe Biden’s decision to run for a second term before ultimately bowing out. Maher compares Biden to late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was hailed as a hero by the left until she died during Trump’s first term, giving him the opportunity to name her replacement.
While Maher is likely right about Joe Biden and history, his criticism is solely about what Biden has done to the Democrat party. Biden will not be treated kindly by history for
