Eva Longoria Helps Create Race-Based Crew Database For Discriminatory Film And TV Hiring

0

Eva Longoria and Charles D. King, producers, revealed at the Produced By conference in June that they have created a talent database based on race to allow studios to explicitly engage with racial discrimination when hiring film crews.

According to Deadline, Longoria stated that “We have to do work” at the conference.

King and Longoria added that they share the “diverse talent,” as Deadline refers to it, with other filmmakers, such as Ava DuVernay who directed the factually-challenged Netflix miniseries, When They See Us, and Colin in Black and White which was a social justice vanity project for Colin Kaepernick.

King agreed with Longoria about the fact that their role in producing involves racial discrimination during the hiring process.

King stated, “A lot of the times we’re taking an enormous leap and you have fill in the gaps.” You just need to keep calling your friends and everyone, but they are out there. There are enough people who have some experience to make the jump to the next level.

Producers see no problem with ethnic discrimination. This echos the ideology of “antiracism” as popularized and promoted by Ibram.X. Kendi. In his book How to Be an Antiracist Kendi wrote that “Antiracist discrimination is the only solution to racism discrimination.” Present discrimination is the only way to end discrimination from the past. Future discrimination is the only way to end discrimination in the present.

Longoria and King claim that the film industry is de facto racist because it has not had a majority of minorities on its crews in the past. To correct the past discrimination, a meritocracy is not the answer. Instead, active discrimination should be used to favor those previously excluded.

Biden Admin Explores Bussing Migrants To US Towns Hours Beyond Border

0

Republican lawmakers claim that President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security is creating plans to send migrants into American towns, hours beyond the U.S.–Mexico border.

According to the New York Post, the potential policy is one way DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas seeks to reduce the flow of migrants to U.S. border communities. August Pfluger (Republican from Texas) wrote to Mayorkas to express concern over the government sending migrants to San Angelo in Texas, which he represents.

Pfluger wrote that San Angelo was a welcoming community. However, the locality had not signed up for this mission and they are not responsible for the burdens of border crisis.

He said that the DHS’s shortsighted policies to encourage illegal immigration and its failure to control the southern border operationally led to this situation.

Pfluger said that he learned about the DHS plans only after San Angelo’s local law enforcement informed him.

This potential bus campaign is months after Republican Texas Governor. Greg Abbott protested against the Biden administration’s immigrant policies by sending buses of migrants to Washington, D.C.

Abbott stated that Texasans deserve and demand a comprehensive, aggressive strategy to secure their border. He also criticized President Biden’s inept leadership. “As the federal government continues its rollback of commonsense policies which once kept our communities safe,” Abbott said in a statement at the time. He added that local law enforcement had stepped up to protect Texans against dangerous criminals, deadly drug use, and illegal contraband flooding into Texas.

Abbott has already sent more than 2,000 migrants by bus to Washington, D.C.

Joe Biden Busted for His Latest Inflation Whopper

0

Joe Biden desperately attempts to convince Americans that the 8.6% annual U.S. inflation rate in May is not his fault. Because blaming others for inflation hasn’t worked, the Biden White House is trying yet another new strategy: claiming that inflation is bad (and even worse) everywhere else.

Biden said this week that the United States is performing better than other countries with inflation.

Biden stated, “We are stronger than any other nation to defeat this inflation.” “It’s not my fault. The inflation rate in all major industrial countries in this world is higher than in America?” “I’m not being a wise guy.”

He lies. This is the problem.

Fox Business data has shown that the German inflation rate stands at 7.9%, France at 5.2%, Japan at 2.5%, India at 7.04%, Canada and Italy at 6.8%, and Saudi Arabia at 2.2%. All of those numbers are better than the United States’ 8.6%—and I sincerely hope Joe Biden and White House economists know this.

Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy called Biden out on his lies during an intense exchange with Karine Jean Pierre, Biden’s press secretary.

Doocy asked: “Why is the president saying that inflation is worse elsewhere than here?”

“First of all, inflation is a global challenge as you have said, It is caused by, clearly, the pandemic — this was the generation pandemic that we are coming out of. And also, most recently, the war that Putin started in Ukraine that has caused inflation as we look at food and as we look at gas prices,” Jean-Pierre said. “So if you look at globally other countries, and if you look at where we are economically when you think about the Group of Seven — the G7 — we are in a much stronger place than we are economical than the rest.”

Jean-Pierre was confronted by Doocy about his supposed lies. “He says the inflation is worse everywhere but here. That’s not true. The U.S. has worse inflation than Germany, France, Japan, Canada, India, Italy, and Saudi Arabia. So why is he saying that?”

Of course, she had a shitty answer.

She tried to explain how inflation is a global phenomenon. This is because everyone feels this way after a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic. This is because Russia initiated the war in Ukraine.

When your lies are easily proved false by the facts, you revert back to the blame game. At this point, all the Biden administration can do is play the blame game.

Why Are Thousands of Flights Being Canceled at America’s Airports?

0

America’s biggest air carriers are having a difficult start to the summer travel season. More than 2,800 flights were canceled over the Memorial Day weekend. Severe weather was a minor factor.

On one of the most difficult travel days this summer, more than a third of all flights from LaGuardia Airport was canceled Thursday. Partly, the problem can be attributed to a shortage of pilots. The pandemic has not yet seen the completion of retirements or losses.

The staffing shortage doesn’t just affect pilots. Staffing shortages affect all levels of aviation personnel: ground personnel, flight crews, and airport security personnel.

New York Post:

Delta, American, and Southwest Airlines pilot unions claim that the companies are too slow to replace those who have retired or taken leave of absence due to the pandemic.

Poor weather conditions have been blamed by airlines as well as the Federal Aviation Administration. This agency manages the country’s airspace and air traffic control centers. Staffing problems are another issue.

Thursday’s cancellations were caused by a meeting between airline CEOs and US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to discuss concerns about airport bottlenecks and frustrated passengers this summer.

“I let them know that this is a moment when we are really counting on them to deliver reliably for the traveling public,” Buttigieg told NBC News.

Officials in the Biden administration have adopted this familiar refrain: It’s not our fault.

What can airlines do to ensure that they “deliver reliably for the traveling public”? Maybe a TV campaign called “Help Wanted: Pilots”.

It’s not a fact that people who are able to safely pilot large jets don’t come from trees. Ex-military pilots now make up about one-third of the total, a drop from 80 percent in the 1960s. Pilots are also finding it difficult to get into the military. This is worrisome news to the commercial airline industry, as the complex machines they fly are making it harder for them to attract pilots. Industry analysts have been pointing out the problems in the pipeline of pilots for more than a decade. They range from civilian to military work.

The predictions of pilot shortages are now a reality. Airlines are struggling to fill the gaps in their schedules due to the pandemic and massive layoffs within the commercial airline industry. This is because there are fewer than expected pilot hires.

The Air Force increased the length of time a pilot must serve by increasing the number from four years to ten in the 1960s. A Washington Post analysis found that a pilot who serves ten years does the same work as 2.5 pilots who serve four years each.

This also discourages some pilots who see a four-year commitment as an alternative to flight school, but aren’t ready to commit to 10+ years of flying after one or more years of training.

Even though the flight time requirements for commercial copilots have increased from 250 to 1,500, most pilots now choose a civil education. Smith stated that it can be as high as $300,000. The returns are immediate: entry-level copilots can make $30,000 to $50,000 per year, while veterans working for major airlines can make $300,000.

It is unlikely those pilot shortages will be remediated anytime soon.

The Transportation Security Administration’s turnover is a major problem. Non-government airport workers are also notoriously underpaid. The first step to addressing the problem is to attract and keep workers.

However, if you fly this summer, there will be delays or cancellations.

Vestavia Hills Church Shooting: 2 Dead, 1 Injured at St. Stephen’s Episcopal, Shooter in Custody

On Thursday night, two people were killed and one was injured at a Birmingham suburb church.

Vestavia Hills Police Department announced via Facebook that a suspect had been taken into custody. AL.com reported the victim was alive and being treated for serious injuries.

According to police, the shooting took place on Thursday at 6:22 p.m. at a Potluck Dinner Event hosted by St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Vestavia Hills. John Burruss, the Rev. stated that the shooting occurred at the Boomers Potluck get-together.

According to police via AL.com, one suspect entered the small group and shot three people. One person was pronounced dead at the scene of the shooting, while two others were taken to the UAB Hospital. There, one of the victims died from their injuries.

Burruss uploaded a video statement to Thursday’s church, Facebook Page. Burruss stated that he was currently on a church-related trip to Athens, Greece with others and that he hopes to return to Vestavia Hills in the near future.

“Our hearts are broken from the horrible tragedy this evening at Saint Stephen’s,” the reverend wrote. “More than anything, I ask your prayers for our community, especially those who are injured and the families of the deceased.

He stated, “These are the pillars of our community, and I find it difficult to understand how devastating this must be for the whole church and wider community. There is so much that can be done as we come together to grieve this loss”.

Police stated that several fire departments and police departments, such as the FBI, US Marshals Service, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, responded quickly to the shooting.

We didn’t receive an immediate response from Vestavia Hills Police.

Kay Ivey, the governor of Alabama, “I am happy to hear that the shooter has been taken into custody. ” “This should never happen — in a church, in a store, in the city, or anywhere. We continue to closely monitor the situation.”

“A lot of people are going to be hurting, not just people who have been physically injured, but this is a scary thing when it happens,” the Rev. Kelley Hudlow, missioner of clergy formation for the Diocese of Alabama, told WVTM. “What we need is for this community to do what it’s really good at, which is coming together to comfort each other.”

The suspect has been captured: Police said the suspect, is a 71-year-old man but declined to release his name.

Ware said the suspect previously attended services at the church, but investigators are still looking into possible motives.

“Any past interactions involving the suspect are currently still being investigated by numerous agencies,” Ware said, adding the suspect appeared to have acted alone.

The FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco are assisting in the investigation, Ware said.

Gun Violence Archive reports 268 mass shootings in America in 2022.

Car With Trump-Hitler Sticker Plows Into Pro-Trump Merch Shop

0

Selling Trump swag is a lucrative business. My Puerto Rican-loving, gun-toting, fiancee has a collection. It includes

17 Trump t-shirts
11 Trump/patriot flags
Numerous Trump stickers
1 zippo
1 watch (mine)
1 Trump suit (mine)
9 Trump hats (winter and summer, his and hers)
1 dwindling roll of “Biden Did That!” gas stickers

Imagine my surprise! (That’s sarcasm!) A Volkswagen Jetta with a bumper sticker featuring Trump and Hitler was found in a shop selling Trump merchandise, Easton, MASS.

I travel for a living and have seen countless Trump merch. store, but haven’t ever seen a Biden merch store.

Trump flags were placed in the window of the store. A lot of the Trump merchandise was damaged but at least no one was hurt.

Police continue to investigate the incident but have not brought any charges against Raynham man, 46 years old.

A sticker on the car contained a quote by Voltaire. It was cleverly twisted on such sweet irony. “Those who can make people believe absurdities could make them commit atrocities.”

Keith Lambert, the store owner, said that Keith had seen a mother with her son shopping in the Trump section moments before the driver arrived.

Is this domestic terrorism? Let’s look at the FBI’s definition:

Involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; appear to be intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and Occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States

This “accident” seems a little “dom-terrible” if you ask me.

Hilary Clinton Rules Out Another Presidential Run As Biden, DNC Aim To Hold Off Potential Candidates

0

Hillary Clinton ruled out any speculations that she would run for the presidency again in 2024. She called such a campaign “out of the question.” Clinton spoke with the Financial Times about her political career, the Biden presidency and the 2024 race for the presidency.

Clinton refused to answer a question about whether she was planning to run again.

She told the Financial Times, “No, it’s not in the cards.” “First, I expect Biden will run. He intends to run. It would be disruptive to challenge that.”

Clinton stated that the main issue for moving forward was the next electoral vote, over any other economic or social policy issues. Clinton called the possibility of a Republican president 2024 “so terrifying” that it is impossible to help Democrats win.

Clinton stated, “We are on the edge of losing democracy. And everything else that anybody cares about goes out the window.” “It is the most important thing to win the next elections. It is so scary that you should not prioritize anything that does not help.

Karine Jean-Pierre, White House Press Secretary, laughed at a Monday question about Biden’s mental and physical well-being in an interview with CNN’s Don Lemon.

Lemon asked, “Does President Obama have the mental and physical stamina to carry on after 2024?” Lemon was curious.

Jean-Pierre, visibly shocked, exclaimed “Don, you are asking me this question.” “Oh my goodness. He’s the President for the United States. Lemon’s press secretary laughed and said that Lemon, 47, sometimes has trouble keeping up with Biden, who is 79. Lemon’s question, she said, was not one that “we should even consider asking.”

Clinton also speculated that Trump would run for the presidency again, if given the chance. Former Secretary of State stated that she believed Trump’s decision to run for president would be driven by financial gain.

Numbers Of Unaccompanied Migrant Children Rising At U.S.-Mexico Border


0

Biden administration officials reported a worrying increase in unaccompanied migrants being apprehended crossing the southwest border to Mexico. In May, Border Patrol agents arrested more than 14,000 unaccompanied minors. These numbers are expected to continue rising in June.

According to the Southwest Land Border Migration Report, Border Patrol agents who patrolled the southwest border with Mexico arrested 14,442 unaccompanied migrants children in May. This is a nearly 22 percent increase over the previous month, and the largest monthly arrest since July 2021.

Breitbart Texas reviewed reports from the Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services and found that the number of unaccompanied migrants is on the rise in June. Border Patrol agents arrested nearly 500 unaccompanied migrants on June 16. This brings the 30-day average of 407 children per day to 407. HHS currently has 10,167 children in custody.

After reaching a peak in July 2021 at 18,954, the unaccompanied child population at the border dropped to 8,751 in January. The number of unaccompanied children apprehended at the border rose to 14,138 in March and almost reached 15,000 by May.

Border Patrol agents arrested 98,654 children unaccompanied between October 1, 2021 and May 31, 2022. This represents a nearly 26 percent increase over FY21.

When President Joe Biden was elected, a dramatic shift occurred in the migrant population. He also changed many of Trump’s immigration and border security policies. In December 2020, President Trump’s last month in office, agents arrested less than 5,000 children who were traveling as migrants without their parent or guardian. This number had risen to over 9,400 by February 28, President Biden’s first full month in office. The next month, it doubled to almost 19,000.

Biden’s administration has reported that more than 220,000 children unaccompanied have been apprehended since February 2021 — an average of almost 14,000 per month.

Biden Falls Off Bike On Delaware Ride With First Lady

0

After being stopped by reporters, President Biden fell off his bike while riding in Delaware with Jill Biden, the first lady.

Since he assumed his Oval Office post, the president has been frequently seen riding a bicycle. He claimed that his foot got stuck in the pedal while trying to get it to stop.

He said, “I’m fine,” when he was asked immediately if he was okay.

Fox News received a statement from the White House stating that “The President stated, his foot caught on the pedal while dismounting, and he is fine.” There is no need for medical attention.

The official said that the President was looking forward to spending the remainder of the day with his family.

After his fall, Biden sat down and greeted a child waiting in Rehoboth Beach to ask him about running the country.

Biden laughed, “Oh it’s just like any other job.” “Some parts of it are difficult.”

The president took a photo of the girl, who stated that she would one day like to be president.

Biden refused to answer questions about his upcoming meeting in China with President Xi Jinping, or the lifting of any tariffs related to China.

The president praised Delaware’s recent ban on the sale of assault weapon this week.

Biden said that he was also happy with the Senate’s progress on gun control, and that he was ready to sign tougher gun control legislation.

Before he rode off, the president mounted his bike and said “Alright guys. See ya.”

The Democrats’ Capricious Energy Policy Has Been a Disaster

0

For decades, Democrats have warned that the United States should abandon the most affordable and cost-effective energy sources or it will be consumed by burning fireballs and heat waves.  Every flood, hurricane, and natural weather disaster is blamed on climate change.

So why does Joe Biden encourage everyone to drill when the world is on the verge of an impending apocalypse and Vladimir Putin isn’t at fault? But Democrats are blaming the oil companies for profiteering. The national average Wednesday was $5.014, nearly $2 more than last year. Biden wrote to oil companies warning them that they would abuse their executive power if prices don’t drop immediately. This was a political appeal to the highest levels of “greedflation” possible.

Biden, who in just a few years promised a clean-energy economy that would produce 100% of its energy from renewable sources and emit zero emissions, wants companies to spend more. Everybody knows that when oil prices fall, Democrats will pass regulations and laws that harm their businesses. Tomorrow, they will demand that oil executives are held accountable and bring them before congressional committees.

The price of today is a guarantee of the future. Democrats’ energy policies are a mess. It fluctuates from pernicious and puerile. The Democrats’ energy policy is a chaotic mess. They campaign on the promise of destruction, then demand that it be turned on a dime whenever they want.

Democrats will claim that this crisis is unique as prices have risen at historic highs. This is what the policy progressives have been advocating for years.

Biden promised that no drilling would take place on federal lands in 2020. Blue states have either banned or are working to ban fracking.

Biden signed the Paris Agreement on the first day. He is currently trying to end this agreement. He revoked Keystone XL permits. The pipeline, which spans 1,700 miles, was expected to transport around 800,000. barrels per day into the United States. This price was also included in the price. Biden signed a series of executive orders that placed climate change above production. They also canceled all public oil and natural gas leases. There were signs of an energy boom.

The president should not threaten price control.

But, the economic implications of any policy similar to the Green New Deal that Biden claimed is the “framework” for his efforts on “environmental justice” would be the same as 30 years of economic shutdowns due to coronaviruses. It is a policy that will bring back $5.00 per gallon.

It is impossible to put in place an energy policy in a capricious way and then abandon it when the Democrats lose poll numbers.
