Beware #SiliconValley. #Kaepernick got the NFL all wokey but it wasn’t enough. He wants to dictate how they recruit and hire talent, not by ability but by wokeness.

theresurgent.com/2020/09/14/kap…
After the NFL is conquered and the folks who say they just want “diversity” have enough power, they are coming for you #SiliconValley. Your boardrooms, your overly white and Asian engineers. Slogans won’t cut it when they can have your position.
Of course, #SiliconValley, like the NFL, hires the best for very competitive jobs. So as football becomes more about lockstep groupthink and less about, uh, football, tech will become more about paying people to preen at a keyboard and not, uh, great products. Be warned.

Listen here. I write for a Trump-lean outfit where @JesseKellyDC works. I was brought in to give “balance” along with other former @resurgent writers. We give balance and hold nothing back. (cc @captainkudzu @JasonThomas01). Rant thread 1/
A few years ago, I worked with the guy who owns @NoqReport. I do-founded that site and was its first editor. I was removed because I wasn’t inflexible enough on 2A. (I wrote about having a gun friendly culture that accepts regulation vs an outlaw culture that doesn’t). 2/
I am not happy about where NOQ (means News Opinion Quotes) has gone, into the far reaches of conspiracy land but I don’t work for it anymore and wouldn’t unless it changed. Similarly I cringe when the headliners on my current gig say things they likely know aren’t true. 3/

If this works, it’ll be one for political history. Of course it’s always been Trump. I think we misjudge him at a fundamental level. Thread:
Being president has never been Trump’s goal. Oh don’t get me wrong: he’s enjoyed it but for a different reason. Trump is wired differently than we want to believe. 2/
Trump craves attention, being listened to, padding his accomplishments, accumulating trophies. The presidency is an amazing trophy don’t you think? 3/

Listen, I have no doubt that on the gauge of niceness, there is no peg to measure Joe Biden. That’s never been the basis of my refusal to vote for him. 1/
Joe Biden might have been fit for the office in 1989. He may have been fit in 1993, or 1997, or even 2001. (Can you imagine Joe Biden responding to 9/11?) He is not fit in 2020 at 78 years old. His party is so far left of mainstream America that... 2/
Biden would be a placeholder, an elder statesman in a titular role while others actually ruled. Those others have no issues not being nice. They are okay encouraging a thug political army that executes cops. 3/

I have questions. Genuinely curious.
If the goal of #BLM and other minority movements is “equality” & “success” is defined as all the stuff they call “white” why do they want it?
Why is “equality” always defined as economic? Why not ask for athletic equality?

Zucker was caught on tape helping "The Boss." CNN went on to cover Trump wall-to-wall in 2016 and makes money off him in 2020. Trump is the media's secret piggy bank and they love (to hate) him.

theresurgent.com/2020/09/14/the…
If there’s a bottom to politics, the media lies at its slimy floor. But there’s a cost for writhing in the slime, especially for the workers who have to churn out content day after day while the bosses laugh at Trump’s surging poll numbers.
They’d love getting rid of Trump from the White House (so they can hit the talk show circuit, publish a few “how we did it” books, and sell influence to Democrats), but they’d really love it if he won again.

You know, it’s fine with me if (white) people want to wear BLM pins in support. They don’t usually mean the Marxist organization with that name. They just mean “Black lives matter.” And they do matter.
How would you feel if all this venom was spilled because people of another race supported your family and friends and culture being valued instead of stereotyped and feared? It’s not wrong to love our Black brothers and sisters.
In case you think I’m going to raise a fist, take a knee, rewrite history or assume a mantle of shame for white people who lived a few hundred years ago: No. But if others think that helps them, go for it. Free country and all. Murica.
