A group of students at the University of Florida were outraged that the college’s chapter of the Young America’s Foundation (YAF) was advertising on campus for its upcoming screening of The Daily Wire’s hit movie “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/lady-ballers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lady Ballers</a>.”
“Lady Ballers,” directed by company co-founder Jeremy Boreing, tells the story of one down-on-his-luck former high school basketball coach, Rob (played by Boreing), who will do anything to win — which in this case means teaching his team of men radical modern gender theory and leading them to identify as women in order to brutally dominate multiple women’s sports.
The YAF advertisement for “Lady Ballers” was written in chalk on a university sidewalk and informed students of an April 4 screening of the movie and a Q&amp;A with “Lady Ballers” stars and “Crain &amp; Co.” hosts Jake Crain, Blain Crain, and David Cone at Florida’s Emerson Alumni Hall. Video taken by YAF staffer Aléjandro Flores captured a woman pouring water on the chalk, attempting to erase the conservative student group’s ad, claiming it’s “transphobic” and “against women.”
Caitlyn McCoy, the University of Florida YAF chair, told The Daily Wire, &#8220;Chalking is one of the best ways we advertise our events to students, faculty, and staff on campus.”
“UF YAF’s chalk is always met with buckets of water and angry students who try to silence speech,” McCoy added. “It’s clear that there’s some students on campus who think basic biology is wrong and are fuming over a comedy film.”

In the video, the female student tells Flores “Trans women are women,” but when Flores asked if she could define what a woman is, the student replied, “Anybody who self-identifies as a woman.”
The woman was then joined by multiple other students, including a man who told Flores, “I’m sorry you guys have nothing better to do than to write transphobic comments on there.”
“It’s not transphobia; it’s just the truth and we’re announcing an event that’s coming up,&#8221; Flores responded. &#8220;The Daily Wire is bringing out ‘Lady Ballers.’”
“It’s a transphobic film against trans women, and I think that trans women should have rights,” the female student said while pouring water on YAF’s chalk message. As the leftist students began walking away, the male student told Flores, “You know, watching so much gay s*** kinda sounds gay if you know what I mean.”

The young Kansas City Chiefs fan who was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/deadspin-writer-torched-for-accusing-child-of-blackface-at-kansas-city-chiefs-game" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused of wearing “blackface”</a> and mocking American Indian culture at the team’s last game “is Native American,” his mother said. 
After Holden Armenta was shown on TV wearing an American Indian headdress with his face painted red and black during the CBS broadcast of the Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders game on Sunday, leftist sports writer Carron Phillips wrote a piece decrying the young child’s “disrespect” for black people and American Indians. Armenta’s mom, Shannon, took to Facebook on Monday after Phillips’ article was published by Deadspin, defending her young son and calling out the sports blog, NewsNation <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/race-in-america/chiefs-fans-mom-defends-son-racist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. 
“This has nothing to do with the NFL,” Shannon Armenta wrote in a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sunshine5826/posts/pfbid02N4ELzqXFeR8RA9FjPNA9iKYEDfxhMQsdR1s3kMnx5ET4HjnMqiy6iR8wfh7L5cm1l" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a>. “Also, CBS showed him multiple times and this is the photo people chose to blast to create division. He is Native American — just stop already.” 
Holden is from an American Indian family, and his grandfather is on the board of the Chumash tribe in Santa Ynez, California, <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-the-young-kansas-city-chiefs-fan-deadspin-tried-to-cancel-over-false-black-face-and-racism-accusations-is-native-american" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The Post Millennial.
Phillips’ piece was roundly mocked on social media after he condemned the young fan for wearing “blackface.” X owner Elon Musk even chimed in after a community note was placed on the article explaining that the photo used in the article only showed the side of Armenta’s face that was painted black and ignored that the other side of his face was painted red, which is the Chiefs&#8217; primary color. 
“Another @CommunityNotes win exposing deception,” Musk wrote.

Phillips called out his critics in a post on X Monday, writing, “For the idiots in my mentions who are treating this as some harmless act because the other side of his face was painted red, I could make the argument that it makes it even worse. Y’all are the ones who hate Mexicans but wear sombreros on Cinco.”
In his piece targeting the young Chiefs fan, Phillips also threw in a jab at conservatives who take a stand on cultural issues.

“This is what happens when you ban books, stand against Critical Race Theory, and try to erase centuries of hate,” he wrote. “You give future generations the ammunition they need to evolve and recreate racism better than before.”

In yet another effort to attack Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s efforts to implement judicial reform to Israel’s leftist judiciary, which has a stranglehold over government policies, The New York Times gushed over a radical activist opposing Netanyahu, calling her “the face of the protests.”
The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/02/world/middleeast/shikma-bressler-israel-judicial-protests.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> was devoted to Dr. Shikma Bressler, a professor at the Weizmann Institute. It spoke of Bressler sitting at a table in a café when “a young waitress rushed over, gushing at her in admiration,” and an older couple at the next table looking at her “with tears in their eyes,” as the wife told Bressler, “You are our hope,” while the husband breathed, “She’s an honest, brave and genuine leader.”
“Dr. Bressler sealed her status as a symbol of the protest movement last month when she led a miles-long column of demonstrators on a multi-day march to the hills of Jerusalem from coastal Tel Aviv,” The Times wrote, adding breathlessly, “It evoked a biblical pilgrimage,”
Yet Bressler, the co-founder of the “Black Flag Protests,” who stated of the current situation, “It’s rare that you recognize you are in a real-time historical moment,” is a radical who has opposed Netanyahu for years, leading a large black-shirt militia in front of the Israeli Supreme Court in April 2020 yelling “Democracy!”

In mid-June, Channel 14’s political correspondent Motti Kastel revealed messages from a secret WhatsApp group that included former Prime Ministers Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert, former Chiefs of Staff Dan Halutz and Bogie Ya’alon, Crime Minister (activist group) founder Yishai Hadas, and founders of the Black Flags activist group. The group discussed how to revive the faltering protests, The Jewish Press <a href="https://www.jewishpress.com/news/left-vs-right/exposed-as-protest-numbers-dwindle-anarchist-leadership-pushing-for-violence/2023/06/12/">reported</a>.
In July 2020, Barak — who has opposed Netanyahu’s effort at judicial reform in 2023 and has been leading the leftist coalition against Netanyahu for years, led a video conference in which he spoke of his plans to topple Netanyahu, long before the current strong right-wing coalition had the power they have today.
Barak spoke of Netanyahu “killing the Knesset,” “the defacto surrender of the legislative branch to the executive,” and referred to Netanyahu as a “dictator.” He compared Netanyahu’s government to the right-wing governments of Hungary and Poland.”
“The fall of Bibi will in any case be an important step,” he said, adding, “Democrats, it’s not leftists, it’s a better definition,” and saying when someone asked, “What are you?’ his preferred answer would be, “I’m a democrat, and what about you? Aren’t you?”
“As soon as the police violence, even if it seems to the police to be justified, causes irreversible damage to the citizens, it only increases the protest,” he asserted.
Israeli Minister Galit Distal <a href="https://www.israelunwired.com/its-a-planned-coup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>:
<blockquote>
I assume that many of you have already been exposed to the video of Ehud Barak from three years ago detailing his master plan in front of a camera:

<blockquote>Deliberately ignite civil disobedience.</blockquote>

In late July, Israel Transportation Minister Miri Regev wrote Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, demanding that Barak and Forum 555 be investigated on suspicion of “criminal gathering, <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/372584" target="_blank" rel="noopener">civil disobedience</a>, and an attempted coup d’état.”

A popular Left-wing host fired back at the political Left this week for pushing so-called transgender &#8220;treatments&#8221; to minors, warning that they leave &#8220;irreparable harm.&#8221;
Ana Kasparian, co-host of &#8220;The Young Turks,&#8221; said during a Sunday interview on a different show that leftists were attacking journalists to &#8220;intimidate&#8221; them &#8220;from doing accurate reporting on what’s actually occurring on the ground.&#8221;
She spoke out about a reporter who faced problems for reporting that there are risks &#8220;when it comes to transitioning literal kids with puberty blockers.&#8221;
&#8220;It is a lie that puberty blockers are reversible,&#8221; she said. &#8220;In some cases they are not, and they can cause irreparable harm.&#8221;
&#8220;Withholding the information because you don&#8217;t like the information getting out there ain&#8217;t the way to go, because that destroys any opportunity for us to actually have a good faith debate about what we should do moving forward, what are the pros and cons,&#8221; she said.

“Lol! The meltdowns over wanting be referred to as a woman rather than a ‘birthing person’ is pretty wild,” she tweeted. “I’ll never apologize for that, especially as biological woman who has had a f***ing lifetime of being told I’m less than. I’m a woman. No apologies.”
When asked if anyone had actually called her a “birthing person,” Kasparian responded, “Yes … I live in CA.”
Her remarks came after she ripped the term back in March, saying, “I’m a woman. Please don’t ever refer to me as a person with a uterus, birthing person, or person who menstruates.”
“How do people not realize how degrading this is?” she added. “You can support the transgender community without doing this s***.”

Attorney General Merrick Garland has been dogged by accusations of weaponizing the Department of Justice against President Joe Biden&#8217;s enemies since even before he took office, and those complaints just got new traction after news of a federal indictment of former President Trump.
The charge that Garland, who was once nominated for the Supreme Court by then-President Obama, sics his prosecutors on conservatives while giving Democrats a pass was the subject of a March <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/2023-03-21-school-board-documents-interim-report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> by the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government and the House Judiciary Committee. That report showed internal communications between Biden Administration and National School Boards Association led to Garland’s infamous October 4, 2021 memo directing the FBI and federal prosecutors around the nation to consider parents who protest at school board meetings as potential domestic terrorists.
“Attorney General Garland is weaponizing the DOJ by using the FBI to pursue concerned parents and silence them through intimidation. Florida will defend the free speech rights of its citizens and will not allow federal agents to squelch dissent,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis tweeted.

“At his confirmation hearing, Merrick Garland promised not to follow the Obama model of weaponizing DOJ to target and persecute his political opponents. Just a few months in, he’s already breaking that promise,” Texas GOP senator Ted Cruz echoed.

More questions about Garland&#8217;s commitment to fair enforcement of the law have arisen from the DOJ&#8217;s prior treatment of Trump, its apparent refusal to prosecute Hunter Biden for numerous alleged crimes documented on his abandoned laptop, and its kid-glove handling of President Biden&#8217;s own classified documents scandal.
After the August 2022 raid on Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago, former Missouri Attorney General and current U.S. Sen. Eric Schmitt blasted the nation&#8217;s top lawman.
“The weaponization of Biden’s DOJ against political enemies is unprecedented. DOJ targeting Trump DOJ targeting parents DOJ targeting gun owners DOJ ignoring illegal intimidation against Justices DOJ ignoring Hunter Biden 87k new IRS agents coming. This is Banana Republic stuff.”

But Garland’s leftist leanings have been in evidence for decades.
As a student at Harvard University in the early 1970s, Garland <a href="https://freebeacon.com/politics/merrick-garland-deferments-avoid-vietnam-draft/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sought and obtained</a> two student deferments from serving in the Vietnam War in 1971, then another in 1973.
Meanwhile, in 1973, Garland initiated formal debate on a campus referendum on the ban keeping ROTC off campus, which had been instituted in 1969. <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/news/nation/2016/03/18/merrick-garland-obama-supreme-court-nominee-played-role-considering-rotc-referendum-harvard-student-leader/oGY1kSjRjuNkIPvJr0q7SI/story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Boston Globe</a> reported that Garland was a vocal opponent of  allowing the ROTC to return to the Cambridge campus. Garland’s anti-military stance was convenient for him, as his 1971 2-S deferments were obtained because of his “activity in study,” while other students at Harvard served in the armed services even though they were enrolled at Harvard. According to the <a href="http://www.thecrimson.com/article/1971/9/29/freshman-deferments-end-as-nixon-signs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard Crimson</a>, some students used a semester off to serve in the National Guard, a service entailing four to six months of duty and further service during summer vacations.
Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton in March of 2021 opposed confirming Garland as attorney general, <a href="https://www.cotton.senate.gov/news/speeches/america-cannot-afford-merrick-garland-as-attorney-general" target="_blank" rel="noopener">writing</a> that Garland would turn the Department of Justice over to extremists within.
“When he did answer questions, he sounded more like a liberal ideologue who would embrace the radical agenda of the Democratic party’s far left base,&#8221; Cotton wrote. &#8220;If confirmed, I’m afraid that he’ll enable extremists in the Justice Department to undermine our police, our Constitution, and our rule of law.”

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on Thursday signed into law a bill making the state a &#8220;sanctuary&#8221; for children, including those from out of state, seeking gender-altering surgery without the consent of their parents.
<a href="https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/text.php?number=HF146&amp;type=bill&amp;version=1&amp;session=ls93&amp;session_year=2023&amp;session_number=0">The new law</a> gives state courts temporary emergency jurisdiction over any child in Minnesota who has been abandoned, is in need of protection from abuse, or has &#8220;been unable to obtain gender-affirming health care.&#8221; The law defines such care as &#8220;medically necessary health care or mental health care that respects the gender identity of the patient, as experienced and defined by the patient&#8221; and specifically cites puberty blockers and chemical and surgical procedures &#8220;to align the patient&#8217;s appearance or physical body with the patient&#8217;s gender identity.&#8221;

“Freedom is on the march in Minnesota. Decency is on the march in Minnesota.

The bill’s author, Democrat state representative Leigh Finke, the first transgender person elected to the Minnesota Legislature, <a href="//9C52C262-0C0A-4927-8028-44D0C299CB37/v" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in March, “In the staggering rise of anti-transgender and anti-LGBTQIA2S+ legislation by extremist Republicans, Minnesota is a beacon of hope for trans and gender-expansive children and their families. The passing of the Trans Refuge bill will send a strong message to the trans community that they are loved, supported, and protected here in our state.”
But Rep. Peggy Scott (R-Andover) had harsh criticism of the bill, stating, “House File 146 undermines parental rights and most concerningly has zero guardrails to protect our kids. It allows children, regardless of age, to receive radical medical treatments.”
In March, Flanagan, speaking at an event where Democrat Governor Tim Walz signed an executive order forcing state agencies to protect “gender-affirming” health care, including surgery, admonished parents not to dissuade their children from such health care, eliciting mockery from conservatives.

Flanagan addressed the crowd as she wore a shirt that read “Protect Trans Kids” with a picture of a dagger on it.
“Let’s be clear: this is life-affirming and life-saving health care,” she declared. &#8220;When our children tell us who they are, it is our job as grown-ups to listen and to believe them. That&#8217;s what it means to be a good parent.”

National Public Radio (NPR) announced Wednesday the network plans to cut the majority of vacant positions and slash around 10% of its current staff — approximately 100 employees — amid a &#8220;sharp decline&#8221; in advertisement revenues.
In a <a href="https://www.npr.org/2023/02/22/1158710498/npr-layoffs-2023#:~:text=via%20Getty%20Images-,NPR%20will%20cut%2010%25%20of%20its%20workforce%2C%20CEO%20John%20Lansing,a%20slowdown%20in%20advertising%20dollars.&amp;text=NPR's%20chief%20executive%20announced%20the,and%20eliminate%20most%20vacant%20positions.">memo</a> distributed to NPR staff on Wednesday, CEO John Lansing broke the news nearly three months after pledging the nonprofit media organization would attempt to <a href="https://www.npr.org/2022/11/30/1139888190/npr-budget-shortfall-20-million">avoid layoffs</a> as the network said it would lose approximately $10 million from the current fiscal year budget.
&#8220;Our financial outlook has darkened considerably over recent weeks,&#8221; Lansing wrote in the memo published by <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/npr-layoffs-10-percent-job-cuts-john-lansing-1235331693/">The Hollywood Reporter</a>. &#8220;At a time when we are doing some of our most ambitious and essential work, the global economy remains uncertain. As a result, the ad industry has weakened and we are grappling with a sharp decline in our revenues from corporate sponsors.&#8221;
According to the outlet, the company employs over 700 individuals, with about 490 people filling the newsroom and 230 staff members in the programming division.
&#8220;When we say we are eliminating filled positions, we are talking about our colleagues — people whose skills, spirit and talents help make NPR what it is today,&#8221; Lansing wrote in the memo. &#8220;This will be a major loss.&#8221;&#8216;
Lansing told NPR staffers that officials had created a plan to address a $20 million sponsorship revenue fall-off for the current fiscal year, but new projections show at least a $30 million shortfall.
&#8220;The cuts we have already made to our budget will not be enough,&#8221; he said, adding that officials don&#8217;t see signs of recovery in the ad space market.
&#8220;Nothing is nailed down yet except the principles and what we know we have to reach,&#8221; he said.
It is unknown which NPR employees could face unemployment at this point. Still, Lansing noted that the job cuts would not fall evenly across the board, vowing to ensure &#8220;employees of color&#8221; would not be disproportionately affected, NPR reported.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t anticipate that it would be like a haircut across every division, because that&#8217;s just not management,&#8221; Lansing says. &#8220;Management is about committing to strategy, making tough decisions.&#8221;
The network reported officials would make final decisions on which employees would be laid off toward the end of March.
Multiple media companies have been announcing layoffs over the past few months.
Last month, Vox announced layoffs that will impact 7% of employees as other companies in the sector implement similar measures. Meanwhile, Gannett and Spotify cut about 6% of their workforce, and CNN axed its streaming service CNN+ and dismissed hundreds of employees in December after joining the Warner Discovery family.
Layoffs at prominent legacy media outlets also come as companies in the technology sector dismiss thousands of employees. Microsoft, Google, and Amazon revealed their intentions to reduce headcount by a combined 40,000 workers over the past few weeks.

Woke Culture

Arkansas GOP senator Tom Cotton, who fiercely condemned the riots ensuing after George Floyd’s death and also has harshly criticized the Democrats for their support of the Iran nuclear deal, condemned the Democratic Party and the American Left for their repeated attempts to sabotage American power in a multitude of ways.
Cotton appeared on Fox News’ “Life, Liberty and Levin” to discuss his new book, “Only The Strong; Reversing the Left’s Plot to Sabotage American Power.”
“I started to conceive ‘Only the Strong’ last summer after the fiasco in Afghanistan,” Cotton stated. “I had so many Americans asking me, ‘How did we let this happen? How did we lose to a band of medieval savages?’”
“I got that question in other forms too,” he recalled. “How did we let left-wing radicals rampage in our streets in the summer of 2020 tearing down statues of our heroes like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and U.S. Grant? How we got to the point where we’re allowing schools to indoctrinate our kids with critical race theory or transgender ideology, where we’re subjecting troops in our military to similar kind of ‘Maoist struggle’ sessions?’”
Then Cotton launched his attack on the Left: “What I want to tell the readers of ‘Only the Strong’ is that this is not an accident. This is intentional. The decline that they sense in America is decline by design.”
“The Democratic Party has long been at best ambivalent about America and openly hostile to American power, whether the military, our sovereignty, about safety on the streets or having a strong prosperous economy,” he charged.
“It goes back to the roots of the modern progressive movement with Woodrow Wilson, the first president to openly repudiate the founding principles of our country,” he pointed out. “To criticize the Declaration and Constitution after you repudiate the founding principles of our country, it‘s a very short step to repudiating America itself, which is what the new Left did in the 1960’s and 1970’s during Vietnam.”
He turned to the fulfillment of the Left’s desire in the presidency of Barack Obama: “And then you have the culmination of these trends in the presidency of Barack Obama, the most ideological president since Woodrow Wilson and now his understudy, Joe Biden.”
Cotton pointed out that Obama was more guarded than Wilson in his statements, but “sometimes let the mask slip, as when he said he didn’t believe in American exceptionalism any more than say, Greeks believed in Greek exceptionalism, which is really to say American exceptionalism is just kind of an outmoded, obsolete, chauvinism for one’s own. Or when he said he wanted to fundamentally transform America.”
Asked about President Biden, Cotton concluded, “Now that he’s surrounded himself with the ideologues from the Obama team, you really see the third term of the Obama presidency when it comes to sabotaging the sources of American power.”

That&#8217;s not a typo, the Left-leaning Republican brought in more than two National Guardsmen per migrant to deal with the situation. The illegal aliens then boarded buses, which will reportedly transport them to a ferry heading toward their final destination at Joint Base Cape Cod. There they will be housed in unused military barracks on the mainland.
&#8220;Our Administration has been working across state government to develop a plan to ensure these individuals will have access to the services they need going forward, and Joint Base Cape Cod is well equipped to serve these needs,” Baker <a href="https://www.mass.gov/news/baker-polito-administration-announces-coordinated-support-for-newly-arriving-families-and-individuals-to-the-commonwealth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Friday morning.

The problem, you see, is that the island cannot possibly handle the 50 individuals. It is too much stress for the tiny island to bear, a homeless shelter coordinator on the island claimed.
&#8220;There is multiple wheels that are turning and departments that are working together,&#8221; Lisa Belcastro <a href="https://www.masslive.com/capecod/2022/09/one-migrant-who-arrived-at-marthas-vineyard-details-journey-as-local-officials-plan-next-steps.html">said</a> Thursday morning.
&#8220;At some point in time, they have to move from here to somewhere else, right?&#8221; Belcastro said. &#8220;We don’t have the services to take care of 50 immigrants. And we certainly don’t have housing — we’re in a housing crisis as we are on this island.&#8221;

That claim flies in the face of reality.
To start, the Martha&#8217;s Vineyard website proudly boasts that it has plenty of options for tourists to stay.
&#8220;Whether you’re looking for a luxurious hotel to cater to your every need, a romantic or family-friendly spot, or are traveling on a budget – you can find it all on Martha’s Vineyard!&#8221; myvy.com <a href="https://www.mvy.com/stay.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states</a>.
&#8220;With more than 80 lodging options, there’s no shortage of choices,&#8221; the site added. &#8220;​Because we have no chain hotels, each accommodation gives you an authentic Island experience.&#8221;
How serene!
In the past, when border states have been overrun with illegal aliens, Immigration and Customs Enforcement <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ice-wasted-roughly-17-million-on-hotel-rooms-for-illegal-immigrants-report-finds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">paid millions</a> for 1,239 beds and other hotel services in Texas and Arizona.
The island&#8217;s website also <a href="https://www.mvy.com/faq.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">notes</a>, &#8220;The Vineyard is home to roughly 17,000 year-round residents. During the summer months, the population increases to nearly 200,000. Sixty-three percent of all homes on the Vineyard belong to seasonal residents.&#8221;
The population swells more than 10-fold from Memorial Day to Labor Day, but we are supposed to believe it can&#8217;t handle 50 individuals. Give me a break.
Of course, they can take in the 50 migrants. The reality is that these folks aren&#8217;t hypocrites, they are frauds, as DeSantis <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/their-virtue-signaling-is-a-fraud-desantis-drags-leftists-attacking-him-for-sending-illegal-immigrants-to-sanctuary-cities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on Thursday.
In reality, the island asked for all of this to happen.
Martha&#8217;s Vineyard voted for the Biden-Harris ticket over Trump-Pence by a margin of 9,763 &#8211; 2,610, <a href="https://vineyardgazette.com/marthas-vineyard-voters-guide/election-results" target="_blank" rel="noopener">per</a> The Vineyard Gazette.
The majority of residents supported Biden as he pledged to get rid of former President Donald J. Trump&#8217;s illegal immigration policies in the name of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Now that they see firsthand the ramifications of ditching said policies, they do not want to deal with the negative effects.
And who would? Thousands of communities around the country have been harmed by illegal immigration — whether it be drugs flowing through the porous border or strains on social resources.
So, the solution for ultra-wealthy liberals on a literal island is to get them out of their backyard.
That&#8217;s how it works for rich leftists. They pledge support for Democratic candidates and progressive policies, then they fight tooth and nail to never see how those policies hurt communities.
You just have to wonder if folks on the island ever paused to think about what it must be like for actual border towns that are far poorer than Martha&#8217;s Vineyard to deal with Biden&#8217;s open borders on a daily basis. Perhaps then they would vote against Democrats so other towns don&#8217;t have to experience the calamity they dealt with this week.
But that would require humility and critical thinking. It is far easier to pack up the temporary visitors and send them elsewhere — like to an air force base to sleep on cots, out of sight, out of mind.

Corporate America — despite the billions of dollars its leadership pours into diversity efforts — is among the most intolerant and illiberal institutions in the nation toward those with Christian beliefs and conservative political leanings.
The events of the past two years have provided woke corporations ample opportunities to silence and purge those guilty of wrongthink. Through mandatory vaccines and compulsory racial equity struggle sessions, executives are signaling to conservative Christians that their viewpoints are not welcome.
In a series of interviews with The Daily Wire, three such individuals detailed life as a “sheep in wolves’ clothing” in corporate America.
‘A Second-Class Human’
One information technology professional who recently left asset management behemoth Vanguard told The Daily Wire that the company’s culture has “changed dramatically” over the past few years.
“Whereas the previous culture had fairly normal workplace boundaries of avoiding politics and religion in the office, the new leadership became outspoken about social issues and began to increase pressure on management to encourage conversations with their crew about politics, race, and social events,” he explained. During the protests that arose after the death of George Floyd, managers were “encouraged to hold meetings with their teams to talk through the issues openly” — although “in almost all cases the conversations and invited speakers were aligned directly to the political left.”
Meanwhile, vaccine mandates provided Vanguard with the opportunity to treat anyone pursuing a religious or medical exemption as “a second-class human.”
“At one point, the company began to make subtle changes to specific employee benefits that bound the benefit to the person&#8217;s vaccination status,” the employee claimed. “Once complaints were raised, these requirements were quietly removed. Unvaccinated employees were at one point also told they were not allowed to see other employees of the company in person even if they were not on company property.”
According to the employee, disdain toward conservatism and Christianity “began and is still fueled by management, but as a result it has trickled down over the years.” Through executives’ endorsement of diversity events — including a <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/exclusive-vanguard-holds-family-friendly-drag-queen-show-with-kids-funds-abortions-and-dei-initiatives">family-friendly drag show</a> and a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/diversity-training-at-vanguard-tells-white-men-to-accept-uncomfortable-criticism-floats-holding-them-accountable">training for white male managers</a> — Vanguard managers are pressured into compliance.
“Employees in favor of these things feel empowered to speak loudly about their beliefs now, while conservatives and Christians within the company feel they can&#8217;t speak out without repercussions,” he continued. “There are internal ‘specialty groups’ for almost every racial minority, veterans, and the LGBT community.”
The employee does not believe that change will occur unless Vanguard CEO Tim Buckley — who sat in the front row during the white male diversity training — is replaced. “There have been so many internal campaigns to ‘bring your whole self to work,’ but over the past few years it&#8217;s become clear what that really means — embrace the culture.”
‘The Odd Man Out’
A staff consultant at professional services firm Ernst &amp; Young explained to The Daily Wire that any play at diversity is merely restricted to “surface-level” factors.
“When it comes to cultural issues, only mainstream beliefs are allowed. And by mainstream, I mean left-of-center,” he recounted. “There are all kinds of leftist talking points everywhere you look — it&#8217;s laced into the fabric of our culture.”
Among other examples, the employee referenced announcements made on “Trans Visibility Day,” an internal anti-racism website to which staffers are repeatedly pointed, and multiple events for “Pride Month” each June, as well as new benefits for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/here-are-the-woke-businesses-vowing-to-cover-travel-costs-for-employees-abortion-tourism">abortion tourism</a> and “gender affirmation” care.
“If you hold a conservative or biblical view on anything, you are the odd man out, and you will constantly have opposing views thrust upon you,” the employee said. “And if you were to voice that opinion, you would be opening yourself up to criticism and possibly worse.”
During an internship at a separate company in the summer before his senior year of college, the employee had faced pressure from management after he liked posts on LinkedIn critical of Black Lives Matter.
“I ended up in a very awkward one-on-one call with one of the top executives from the company,” the employee said. “He lectured me on how certain viewpoints can make other people uncomfortable, but he never told me to unlike the posts or not to engage with cultural issues at all. Indeed, many other people at that company posted about cultural issues — the difference is that they were left-of-center. I never got a return offer from the internship. I&#8217;m not sure if my worldview was the reason why, but it wouldn&#8217;t surprise me at all.”
The employee said that derision toward conservatism stems from Ernst &amp; Young management — “especially the executives.” Although it is “possible to find individual employees that are more conservative,” doing so can be “difficult, because no one broadcasts their beliefs if they&#8217;re anything but left-of-center.”
‘Heavily Influenced By Marxist Thought’
An account manager at IBM software subsidiary Red Hat told The Daily Wire that the company culture has degraded over the past five years.
“You tend to not discuss religion or politics openly at work unless it&#8217;s with people you know you can really trust,” he commented. “The changes within the company that negatively affected the culture have to do with management saying yes to any subgroup of people who fit the modern definition of a marginalized group.”
The employee had previously helped with events for a group within Red Hat that seeks to foster community among black employees, yet decided to stop in order to avoid conflict after he realized the group’s “core beliefs” differed from his own. A lesbian coworker likewise ended her involvement with Red Hat Pride because she is “not a radical leftist” and therefore no longer aligned with their mission.
“It seems like most, if not all, are heavily influenced by Marxist thought,” the employee said of his colleagues. Because many fulfilling technical roles are self-described atheists and agnostics, much of the scorn toward opposing viewpoints originates from employees rather than managers.
The employee only sees a future in which his industry supports ideological diversity if “enough people are brave enough to stand up and say something about it.”
