— Festivus: Rand Paul fishes up the worst in government waste on Joe Biden’s watch – Monica Showalter (COMMENT: GAO audits the federal government. I should write a book about those who have wasted my knowledge of the federal government the most. I would focus on my Democrat GAO superiors and on my Republican U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives, their staff members, and their political consultants. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Level, currently $102,188-$132,845/year. I worked on audits of federal financial industry regulators for 8 years, on audits of IRS for 3 years, and on audits of many other federal agencies for almost 7 years. In addition, I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Level, currently $85,935-$97,395/year.)

THE BL
— Major companies faced allegations of discrimination against whites in hiring and training policies – Andrés Vacca (COMMENT: GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)
https://thebl.com/us-news/major-companies-faced-allegations-of-discrimination-against-whites-in-hiring-and-training-policies.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many major U.S. firms such as Coca Cola, McDonald’s, Disney, American Express, Bank of America, Lowe’s, and Pfizer faced many complaints during 2021 accusing them of forcing their employees to receive training on issues associated with leftist ideologies such as “Critical Race Theory” and gender policies. There have even been allegations of a preference for hiring black people as a policy of some firms. Major U.S.-based companies had faced legal issues when many whistleblowers revealed that over the past year, they had been forced to undergo training on, among other issues, the highly controversial Critical Race Theory (CRT). As its name indicates, it is just a theory, that is to say, that it is not something proven, and it is also wholly loaded with a strong leftist ideology. In short, these companies have been forcing their employees to receive a kind of leftist indoctrination to keep their jobs, according to the allegations. One of the issues they sought to “teach” to the employees is to know how to differentiate the supposedly “marginalized” personnel within the organization and place them above the “privileged” personnel; this is a typical analysis of the Marxist theory of organizations where they always seek to fragment and divide between oppressors and oppressed, victims and victimizers. This ends up generating controversy, instability, and suspicion among co-workers. In addition, much emphasis was placed on the issue of “decolonizing” the minds of workers and combating aspects of a supposed “white supremacist culture,” such as perfectionism, individualism, and objectivity. These ideas have their theoretical foundation in CRT, a framework that involves deconstructing aspects of current society to uncover alleged systemic racism beneath the surface. In this regard, current and former American Express employees told Fox News in a series of interviews that the imposition of this indoctrination began after the assassination of George Floyd in May 2020, but that the “awakening” training came to light in 2021. In February 2021, McDonald’s announced that hiring too many white men would cause senior executives who did so to lose bonuses, now prioritizing women and “historically underrepresented groups” for top corporate positions. An article published by HumanEvents.com writer Celine Ryan questioned this system and called it “McQuotas.” “But even those who place value on the concepts of ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ have repeatedly pointed out that these types of hiring quotas are misguided at best, and empty performances at worst, with unintended negative consequences,” Ryan wrote. The multinational effectively increased the percentages of employees it now prioritizes when hiring, without parameters such as demographic proportionality in each country. According to Fox News, Coca-Cola also generated a strong reaction when it was discovered that in its employee training instructions, it included a rule that participants “try to be less white” in their behavior. In March, Manhattan Institute senior fellow Chris Rufo revealed whistleblower documents from the Walt Disney Company’s “Reimagine Tomorrow” diversity and inclusion program. The program includes multiple “anti-racism” training modules. This type of training usually results in what is called “affirmative action,” where the supposed “oppressors” end up becoming the oppressed because of accusations that are not necessarily true.)

LEGAL INSURRECTION
— Millions More People Claiming To Be Native American In Past Decade, According to Census Data. “The Native American population in the U.S. grew by a staggering 86.5% between 2010 and 2020, according to the latest U.S. Census – a rate demographers say is impossible to achieve without immigration…. Instead, individuals who previously identified as white are now claiming to be Native American.” – William A. Jacobson (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, under the Democrats and under the RINOs, the more of the following that you are, the more that you officially get preference: minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, Trump-hater, Democrat, RINO, moderate, liberal, non-Christian, non-Protestant, citizen of a foreign country, non-Italian American, non-German American, and if your ancestors have not been in America for a long time.)

THE HILL
— For America’s future population, how much is too much? – JOSEPH CHAMIE (COMMENT: Democrats want to flood America with immigrants because immigrants vote for Democrats. RINOs want to flood America with immigrants because RINOs want cheap labor.)
https://thehill.com/opinion/immigration/587086-for-americas-future-population-how-much-is-too-much
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While some have called for a U.S. population of one billion and many continue to push for an ever-increasing national population without specifying an upper limit, others are recommending a gradual stabilization of America’s population. America currently has 333 million citizens: triple the number from a century ago. The U.S. population is currently the world’s third-largest after China at 1.44 billion and India at 1.39 billion. Although the U.S. population is expected to increase to 400 million around mid-century, Nigeria is projected to overtake it by that time. In addition, Nigeria is expected to remain third throughout the 21st century, with America being in fourth place followed closely by Pakistan. Basically, there are two ways for America to increase its population size. One is through higher fertility rates that would result in substantially more births than deaths. The second is to increase the current levels of immigration to the U.S.)
