It is not just removing assad. If Assad falls there will absolutely be a genocide The Alawite minority there has been in charge for generations and abused their power. Any of them not able to make it to Turkey are going to die.

I saw that. BCBS did it today

I think that if people are paying their premiums they should have to pay out for medically necessary things. There is ZERO percent chance that 1 out of 3 claims is for gender surgery for kids. More likely it happens to people who have cancer or some weird shitt

UnitedHealthcare rejected one in three claims last year, about twice the industry average.

She is going to go to jail. Hope she enjoyed her 15 mins

Did anyone see the missed call for a blow to the QBs head on the sack for the lions. There was a play where one guy went low and the other came over the top and hit Love right in the facemask with what looked like a forearm shiver. That would have been called on the lions every single time in the past. I have seen multiple instances of this happening this year and it makes me fee weird. We never got that type of shitt in the past. Hell they would go out of the way to make up rules on the fly just to screw us over. See: The calvin johnson rule.

Some minorities WANT to be educated and do a good job of it. Some do not. The black community looks down upon people who better themselves through education. The only way they accept making it is through entertainment and drugs. Other minorities are not having problems with education. You have to WANT to be smarter. "Stop institutionalized racism. End white privilege." Only liberals believe in that bullshitt. You have been brainwashed by an obviously biased MSM to believe that the reason why blacks can not succeed is because whites have some sort of special club that we all belong to. The time of the stuff you are preaching is over at least for the next 4 years. It is going to be a backlash against insanity and I look forward to it. I never voted republican in my entire focking life. I was pushed to vote for trump because of the nonsense you speak.

Thank god we are coming back into a time of sanity. The prosecutors thought they were going to be slick by tying it to a DEI hire. Figured No one would bother to look or if they did no one would bother to derail this over DEI concerns. Who the fock wants a DEI hire to be the one overseeing the people building airplanes. That is about as stupid as having one run the country. A federal judge in Texas rejected Boeing’s plea deal with the Justice Department in a case related to two deadly 737 MAX crashes. U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor declined to approve the agreement, saying it inappropriately tied the court’s hands by imposing diversity considerations on the appointment of an outside monitor who would oversee Boeing’s future legal compliance. O’Connor wrote that prosecutors gave him “shifting and contradictory explanations” of the role that race or diversity would play in the selection of a monitor. “In a case of this magnitude, it is in the utmost interest of justice that the public is confident this monitor selection is done based solely on competency,” O’Connor wrote. The decision casts fresh uncertainty into a yearslong legal odyssey that began after two 737 MAX crashes took 346 lives and was revived earlier this year when a fuselage panel blew out on the same type of jet, operated by Alaska Airlines, in January. A Justice Department spokeswoman declined to comment. Boeing didn’t immediately comment. Boeing shares moved slightly lower in midday trading, with U.S. stock indexes mixed. The Justice Department in May accused Boeing of violating its corporate probation over a fraud conspiracy charge related to the 2018 and 2019 crashes. Prosecutors then asked the company to plead guilty to the charge, and Boeing in July agreed to do so. O’Connor, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, on Thursday also criticized how the Justice Department oversaw the probationary agreement, which was struck in the final days of the first Trump administration. Boeing admitted at the time that two former employees misled the FAA about a new flight-control feature on the 737 MAX that wasn’t supposed to activate in normal flying conditions. Boeing paid a $244 million criminal fine under the 2021 criminal settlement. It otherwise received leniency, however, avoiding a guilty plea at the time and instead landing a form of corporate probation. The resolution required Boeing to report its compliance-program improvements to the Justice Department. “It is fair to say the government’s attempt to ensure compliance has failed,” O’Connor wrote, explaining why he believes the monitor should report to the court and not to the Justice Department. Paul Cassell, a lawyer for the crash victims’ families, praised the judge’s ruling. Families of the crash victims had asked O’Connor to reject the deal, saying it was too lenient on Boeing. Cassell said the families would seek a stronger agreement that holds Boeing accountable and seeks appropriate monitorship to prevent future disasters.

“Can’t say I didn’t see this coming. Banned from the Epson and LPGA,” Davidson wrote in an Instagram Stories post. “All the silence and people wanting to stay ‘neutral’ thanks for absolutely nothing. This happened because of all your silence."-The Tranny golfer trying to get onto the LPGA tour. This is the height of delusion. "i was not allowed to outdrive women and have a competitive advantage. It was going great and YOU people stopped me. That is totally unfair and everyone should have spoken up."

This guy is gone. He did not even use gloves when he went to the starbucks and they got some DNA from the cup he used. He was absolutely a paid hitman. The problem is that guy the dead was also the CEO of a shitty company that could have made enemies out of people who know people

His wife did it for sure.

Could Barkley get MVP? His odds went from plus 5k to plus 400 with only Jackson and Allen in front of him.

This is a really big deal and could usher in the death blow to this type of mental illness being encouraged by doctors.

Not to hijack the thread but how old are you and when did you start to notice slipping?

I was coming here to say that.

It is super weird that her dad killed himself before they could even find out what happened to her. No matter what for the rest of her life she is going to have to deal with the fact she likely pushed her dad over the edge with grief to the point he thought killing himself was the only option. That is a shittty kid.

You can tell who in this thread has been exposed to the actual practice of DEI and who has fallen for the MSM's idea of what DEI is from an academic standpoint.

They will probably give it to Allen but Barkley has 2-3 games where he could come close to 200 yards each

This is the democrats in their true form. They like to preach about the values they hold. But those values drop the moment it is convenient for them.

"the search" they have to meet the Rooney rule expectations but there is no search. The Bears will let Brown lose out the season and then throw the kitchen sink at Ben Johnson. Superbowl win or not.

Of course you do. You WANT to believe that is not what DEI is about. That may NOT be what DEI is about in the classroom setting but in the real world, trust me when I say, that is absolutely how it is applied. Especially to tech companies. I have mentioned this experience many times in the past. You want me to really blow your fuckingg mind? It was not just that she told me she was not hiring people that look like you. She pointed at her face, and pointed at her skin. Just to drive home the fact of what she was saying. Then I had to reject all the white male candidates that were good fits. So there was NO mistake as to what just happened. Is that graphic enough? Did she also need to call me a cracker asss cracker in order for you to believe (she did not but that would have at least made me laugh) Sue them? You think in the era of DEI/Metoo/Believeallwomen a straight white male is going to be able to win a lawsuit on something that comes down to he said/she said over a zoom call? I just sucked it up like a big boy and moved on to the next contract that turned out to be even more lucrative for me. You can believe what you want because it makes you feel better inside. Just know. You are wrong. I AM in the weeds and I am telling you the practical application of DEI ends up as a form of racisim that they are so comfortable with, saying something like that to me was not even viewed as out of the norm or even a problem. Just policy. It was not JUST them. It is usually not said in the same way I gave an example of. It is usually done like this. I submit people for the hiring manager to review and then they just reject all the white males. Then after that happens 2-3 times you just do not waste your time anymore trying to even submit them. THAT way they do not have to come right out and saaaaaay they are being racist. It is on YOU to make that assumption. Plausible deniability. Think I am full of shitt? Don't believe me? I encourage you to look into how DEI is used in practical application. I HOPE you look into it more. The more people that see this is BS the better. I hope you talk to some white male corporate recruiters and ask them to tell you the stories they have about DEI. How it is used. Because I 100 percent stand by what I have said. It was a lived experience. Not just something someone is making up for shitts and giggles to make you feel bad about DEI. DEI is racism rebranded under the cover of a cool little acronym. The shitt of it is that even if it is killed off NOW, it will creep back into society as soon as democrats regain power in 4-8 years. New name, same management. Something like EID. They will change it just enough to be different but not enough that people who are looking for it can't find it

I mentioned to my boss at the RPO that the hiring manager made me feel uncomfortable. 2 weeks later I was rotated out of that company and replaced by a Latino. It was not a firing because I rotated straight another contract within my staffing org but they def replaced me because of the question. I have hired TONS of diverse candidates over the years because they were the best person for the job. That being said I have been a contractor on an off for years and that has seen me go into a lot of different orgs on what is called an RPO, Recruitment Process Outsourcing. In the era of DEI have seen a lot of crazy things that I would have previously considered racist. I have been told in forced training that the old way of being colorblind is NOT acceptable. It is not good enough to be passive. If I am not actively helping people of color it is racist. As a recruiter I have had to turn down quite a few white males based not on their skills and background but what the color of their skin is or what their gender is. It sucks but I think it is pervasive based on my experience in the industry.

May I ask. Do you have inside insight into what DEI actually does and how it is implemented or is it just what you read in the media? I am not asking to be an assshole. I am asking because I would like to know if you are in the weeds on this issue or you are just an arm chair qb. I have had a hiring manager at a well known tech company tell me to my face. "we are not hiring people who look like you this quarter for these roles.. Find me women and people of color." Imagine saying that to ANYONE other than a straight white dude and thinking that would be ok. DEI is used for 2 things. racism and window dressing. If you look at the DEI related jobs on Linkedin. They are ALL people of color and lgbtq. So it gives tech companies cover when asked about the amount of minorities they have. We have an entire DEI department...that makes up 100 percent of our minority workers.

He is 100 percent right. It will absolutely come back. It will be rebranded the next time the dems take power and they will insist it is something good. I have seen the process of DEI first hand as a recruiter. Next rebrand will be something that marginally includes white people so they can pass it off as not what it is. Racist.

This is FAR more likely than me getting what I need.
