Staff at one of the world’s biggest investment companies have to get special approval to hire a white man, rather than a woman or an ethnic-minority candidate.
The policy is part of a drive by State Street, which employs 2,500 people in Ireland, to improve diversity within its middle and senior management. The multinational aims to triple the number of black, Asian and other minority staff in senior roles by 2023, and executives’ bonuses will be lower if they do not meet the targets.
Hawley’s remarks about the country’s military preparedness come as the U.K. Royal Marines made quick work of U.S. troops during a training exercise.
“Well, they are probably wondering why it is the people like General Milley and Secretary Austin spend so much time recommending books on white rage, on Critical Race Theory and are not more focused on warfighting,” he said. “Here’s my view, Laura. We’ve got the best soldiers, airmen, marines in the entire world. Our soldiers are amazing warfighters. Let them fight. Train the tight. Let them do what they do best and stop using the military as a giant social experiment, which is what the left seems to want.”
According to the museum’s acting CEO Daniel Muzyka, the exhibits on European settlers, the early logging and fishery industry will all disappear.
A law professor who was caught on tape pressuring a Native American student to apologize for ‘trap house’ party, pushed Yale to host a diversity trainer who reportedly told students anti-Semitism is a form of ‘anti-blackness’ and that the FBI artificially inflates hate crimes against Jews.
Yale’s director of diversity and inclusion Yaseen Eldik invited ‘kinky’ sex education and diversity trainer Ericka Hart to the university after the board ‘publicly expressed’ it would ‘implement implicit bias and antiracism training.’
Growing up, Republicans were the schoolmarms. They wanted to codify marriage equality bans in state constitutions, take away or censor your video games and movies, and do damn near anything to become as close to John Lithgow in Footloose as possible.
But then, things changed. Abortions fell as contraception access expanded — yes, in part due to Obamacare — and with the thrice-married celebrity in the White House, Republicans chilled out. No longer were the “culture wars” defined by conservatives trying to regulate your bedrooms; instead, they became liberals and leftists trying to regulate everything from your “preferred pronouns” to the number of booster shots in your arm.
By his own standards, Aykroyd would have to renounce some of his most famous performances and their lucrative residuals. They include the 1983 movie Trading Places, in which he appears in black face, and NBC’s Saturday Night Live, in which he famously used the phrase “Jane, you ignorant slut” to demean a woman during the “Weekend Update” segment.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he is confident a “solution” will be reached to allow Canada to honour its war dead on Remembrance Day by lowering the flag to half-mast.
Trudeau gave his strongest indication yet on Tuesday that the national flag could be raised and then lowered again at federal buildings on Remembrance Day.
Republicans are pressing Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra, and Attorney General Merrick Garland for answers, as reported.
It’s high time that conservatives start waking up to the role that corporations have played in the moral degradation of the Western world.
The countries that used to be governed with a collective sense of Judeo-Christian values have long been under attack by an aggressive secularism that, far from simply seeking to divorce the culture from religion, has replaced our longstanding traditions with a new cult of progressivism.
Gregg Jarrett joined Hannity to discuss how at least 51 lawyers at the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office have either left or been fired since radical District Attorney Chesa Boudin took office in January 2020. Thanks to Boudin, a rogue and lawless District Attorney, violent crime in San Francisco has skyrocketed. Killers literally go free. Career criminals are often not prosecuted and allowed to walk so that they can commit more crimes. It’s a catastrophe…and people are paying for it with their lives.
George Orwell famously said that “there are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them.”
His adage now applies to anyone associated with academia in any capacity.
The New York Times ran a report the other day on the canceling of University of Chicago geophysicist Dorian Abbot for his dissenting views on affirmative action. The paper quoted a Williams College geosciences professor, Phoebe A. Cohen, who supports Abbot’s shunning. She explained her dim view of academic freedom thusly: “This idea of intellectual debate and rigor as the pinnacle of intellectualism comes from a world in which white men dominated.”
The woke critiques of the controversial comic are becoming increasingly absurd.
The furore over Dave Chappelle’s latest comedy special for Netflix, The Closer, rages on and on. The essence of the problem is that a lot of trans activists believe that Chappelle crosses a line in some of his jokes about trans people. They want Netflix to take the special off its platform. So far, their entreaties have not been yielded to.
Universities are making themselves not just disliked and disreputable but ultimately irrelevant and replaceable.
Many of our once revered and most hallowed institutions are failing us. To mention only the most significant ones: our top-ranking military echelon, the leadership of our federal investigatory and intelligence agencies, the government medical establishment—and of course the universities.
The increasingly partisan Anti-Defamation League (ADL) interjected itself into the annual Halloween debate this week when the organization advised parents to avoid Halloween costumes that are culturally insensitive and perpetuate gender norms.
