Kaepernick, Nike Keep Lies Alive

Kaepernick, Nike Keep Lies Alive

Nike keeps the lies of Colin Kaepernick alive with its latest “Just Do It” campaign. Black lives DO matter, but most black killings are done by blacks, not cops. NFL players, just like everyone else, have no First Amendment “rights” when it comes to employment. Kaepernick continues to spout socialist/communist dogma, even though it has never worked more than a generation.

This is a stupid move by #Nike.

Equal Pay for Equal Work?

Equal Pay for Equal Work?

They myth that women make less money for equal work because of bias persists.

Single women with no children make more money that their male counterparts.

Many women with children make less money than men, in part, because they take time off to care for their family. Honorable, but doing so takes them away from what they are being paid to do. The same goes for those taking time off to have babies. It’s not bigoted, it is just what it is.

Before I sold my company, women that applied for employment generally asked for considerably less than male applicants. We hired mostly women – because we could pay them less. It wasn’t bigotry, it was good business practices.

Two women I knew were hired at the same ad agency on the same day soon after graduating from college. Five years later, one of them was making around 30% more than the other. When I asked the one that was making less (she did not know she was making less) what could cause one of two employees that were hired at the same time to make a third more after a few years.

Her answer: “The one making more is a man.”

“No, two women.”

Her: “The one making more must have slept with the boss.”

What was interesting was that she was sleeping with the boss. The woman that was making more was not.

A lot of factors go into determining what someone is paid. Your gender is not the reason for disparity, your actions and priorities are.

Nunes Must Be Close

Nunes Must Be Close

Devin Nunes (R-CA) must know – or be close to knowing – who from the Obama administration unmasked Trump team members from surveillance initiatives, as the left is going bat-shit crazy with his “loyalty” to Donald Trump. Never mind that a sitting administration, via the DOJ had to be spying on a political adversary. Never mind that someone had to authorize the unmasking of private citizens. Never mind the administration changed the rules for sharing data after the supremely corrupt Hillary Clinton was beaten by Trump.

Never mind that. The left’s focus on the process and the character Nunes speaks volumes: Nunes knows enough to scare the crap out of them.

Back to Basics

Back to Basics

We’ve been absent from our website for some time, spending most of our time on Facebook. It’s time to come back to basics of posting here, to our own site, instead of relying on the transient feeds of social media. More updates coming soon.

“Can’t we just all get along?”

A friend of a friend on Facebook posted this plea for us to get along with the terrorists:

i know we are hurt, and angry, after the attacks in Paris, but please, let’s make sure that hatred does not win.

please stop aiming this rage at the people rushing to escape terrorism and war. saying we should now disallow refugees because terrorists exist is a thin veil of xenophobia and ignores the fact that the history of terrorism in our own country is vastly from within our own people.

please stop aiming this rage at others who are hurting, at our Black citizens fighting for their own lives, saying that the pain of our own oppressed is somehow not as important. this is a thin veil of racism.

please stop aiming this rage at religion. Christians blaming Islam for terrorism shows an ignorance of our own extremists who have killed in the name of God.

please stop aiming this rage at our President. those who think President Obama should have been speculating about who the killers were, long before we even had an understanding of what was happening, last night, shows a lack of understanding the necessary process of international relations and is a thin veil of Islamophobia and racism.

all of this broad placing of blame where it doesn’t belong ignores history, ignores reality, ignores the fact that when we rise up against tragedy by fanning the flames of our own hatred, instead of mustering up courage and love and compassion for those affected, shows that we all have an incredible capacity for hatred.

we all have capacity for hatred. we all, also, have an incredible capacity for love. please, let’s move together in the right direction: love.

We think it would be great to get along with everyone. Is asking to know whom one is inviting into one’s home asking too much? When there are people that want to kill you, you do not invite them into your home knowingly.

This is not about religion. The United States is a very tolerant nation of people. But those that hide their hatred for our country and way of life behind religion are not to be tolerated. The West did not name their “state” nor their combatants. Islamic State and jihadist are their terms, not ours.

And yes, Christians have committed crimes in the name of God. But they do not today. To assign crimes of generations ago as absolution for current attacks is absurdity.

President Obama should not speak of who committed the crimes in Paris before it was known. But when it is known (like Benghazi) he should speak up.

We think Americans are eager and willing to allow others to live peacefully – as long as those people do not pledge our destruction. Until then, American and the west will likely hold the terrorists and their accomplices accountable.
