Unless they think those are corporations, I'm at a loss to explain this strange assertion. Watch it here.

"The Alder Hey organs scandal involved the unauthorised removal, retention, and disposal of human tissue, including children’s organs, during the period 1988 to 1995. During this period organs were retained in more than 2,000 pots[note 1] containing body parts from around 850 infants. These were later uncovered at Alder Hey Children's Hospital, Liverpool, during a public inquiry into the organ retention scandal."

Comment from the internet. I don't know who this person is but take a bow:
“…We now have a CENTRIST government in Europe…”. This illustrates a major pet peeve of mine. I am old enough (68) to know the difference between left, right, and center. The ruling elite and the main stream media have redefined the center. They believe “We cannot possibly be extremist. Therefore, we are centrists and any one who has opposing views is far right.” They then use the term “far right” as a pejorative in order to discredit any dissenting opinions. The nationalists are in fact the centrists who are trying to return the world to sanity and who are trying to preserve their national cultures before they are destroyed. We should not allow the progressive, globalist elites get away with redefining “the center”. Words matter. Words are powerful. Down with doublespeak!”

-An interesting part is southern states giving more than North east states as well as California. Similar results among cities. 'Conservative' cities give far more than what are regarded to be liberal ones. That is the 'Bible Belt' (so chided by urban liberals) give more than wealthier liberal cities. Gee, there's a surprise. The divergence is especially telling between Dallas (more traditionally conservative) that gives more than Austin (hipster liberal).
-Democrats have many small donors and Republicans far more larger ones.
-As a percentage of GDP, the USA by far is the most giving nation. Canada is a distant second. But at least we're second. The UK and Italy lead in Europe.

Poppers Paradox.
"...Of course the silent majority of university students, professors, and taxpayers who fund these courses are not as ideologically invested as their radical colleagues. But the silent majority are also usually irrelevant, as the history of humanity illustrates. In the Soviet Union, the majority of the Russian civilians were not Stalinists nor were most of the Chinese civilians hardcore Maoist Red guards. Today in the West, intersectional departments are acting as commissars who are attempting to set the terms of the debate. They are increasingly framing opposition to their ideas as violence against their personhood. In select institutions, gullible administrators are adding fuel to the fire by actually paying students to monitor each other for micro-aggressions and other markers of ideological impurity."

And here:
"We find that some non-citizens participate in U.S. elections, and that this participation has been large enough to change meaningful election outcomes including Electoral College votes, and Congressional elections. Non-citizen votes likely gave Senate Democrats the pivotal 60th vote needed to overcome filibusters in order to pass health care reform and other Obama administration priorities in the 111th Congress."

James Damore has done a great service for people but above all, perhaps in the long-run even for Google.

Steyn:
Well, in the old days, the bourgeoisie expected bourgeois values throughout society. The wealthy and powerful disdained them, but discreetly. Now they disdain them openly. Indeed, they wage war on them, relentlessly. Instead, they enforce "progressive" values. Institutions fundamental to the nation-state, such as citizenship, have to be rendered meaningless - so that what matters in any immigration debate is not the citizens but the invaders, to the point where Nancy Pelosi thanks the parents of "Dreamers" for breaking American law and bringing them here, as a precious gift to a nation crying out for even more low-skilled immigrants. As for institutions that pre-date the nation-state - institutions almost as old as humanity - they're as easy to redefine, so that marriage can no longer be confined to those of opposite sexes. Speaking of the sexes, human biology can be vaporized, so that two sexes become 57 genders, and grade-school boys more interested in Barbie than GI Joe get to be pumped full of puberty blockers and directed to the girls' bathroom. And after all that, religion has to be put on the back foot, so that any recalcitrant mom'n'pop bakery for whom two men atop a wedding cake is an abomination, must be hunted down, dragged into court and financially ruined pour encourager les autres. And in a revolutionary present it is necessary ultimately to throttle the past - eliminating Robert E Lee, Christopher Columbus, Dr Seuss, Stephen Foster, the national anthem, to dam up the stream of history, the flow of past to present to future, and thus sever the citizenry from their entire inheritance, so that we are mere flotsam and jetsam on the frothing surface of the moment - a world where, in a certain sense, Harvey Weinstein is God.
What's left? The military? Sports? The boy scouts? Traditionally masculine institutions are now among the most cowed and craven and politically correct - far more so than, say, a Weinstein junket to the Cannes Film Festival. Country music? Hey, if that's your bag, don't come crying to CBS vice-presidents when your yee-haw hoedown gets shot up - because "country music fans often are Republican gun toters".
Since Steyn wrote this article, the left have added to it. They defend MS-13, don't like Trump's pardons, suddenly don't like celebrities in the White House even though they were fine with it for eight years under Obama and root against peace in North Korea.

We have grants to spend:
"Diet failures are often attributed to an increase in cravings for attractive foods. However, accumulating evidence shows that food cravings actually decrease during energy-restricting weight-loss interventions. The current study aimed at elucidating possible mechanisms that may explain how and under which circumstances food cravings in- or decrease during dieting. Specifically, decreases in food cravings during weight-loss diets may be due to effects of energy restriction (homeostatic changes) and to effects of avoiding specific foods (hedonic changes). Thus, we used a selective, hedonic deprivation (i.e., restricting intake of a specific food in the absence of an energy deficit) that precludes homeostatic changes due to energy restriction. Furthermore, interindividual differences in food craving experiences might affect why some individuals are more prone to experience cravings during dieting than others. Thus, we investigated whether a selective deprivation of chocolate would in- or decrease craving and implicit preference for chocolate as a function of trait-level differences in chocolate craving..."

Therefore, we are centrists and any one who has opposing views is far right.” They then use the term “far right” as a pejorative in order to discredit any dissenting opinions. The nationalists are in fact the centrists who are trying to return the world to sanity and who are trying to preserve their national cultures before they are destroyed. We should not allow the progressive, globalist elites get away with redefining “the center”. Words matter. Words are powerful. Down with doublespeak!”

-An interesting part is southern states giving more than North east states as well as California. Similar results among cities. 'Conservative' cities give far more than what are regarded to be liberal ones. That is the 'Bible Belt' (so chided by urban liberals) give more than wealthier liberal cities. Gee, there's a surprise. The divergence is especially telling between Dallas (more traditionally conservative) that gives more than Austin (hipster liberal).
-Democrats have many small donors and Republicans far more larger ones.
-As a percentage of GDP, the USA by far is the most giving nation. Canada is a distant second. But at least we're second. The UK and Italy lead in Europe.

"Syria and Hezbollah will wage a ‘joint missile campaign' against Israel, and… Iranian experts are ready to launch missiles at Israel from every part of Lebanon and Syria," according to the pro-Hezbollah publication, a translation of which was performed by the Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI, which monitors radical communications."

"And what exactly are men being accused of? What is the difference between harassment and assault and “inappropriate conduct”? There is a disturbing lack of clarity about the terms being thrown around and a lack of distinction regarding what the spectrum of objectionable behavior really is. Shouldn’t sexual harassment, for instance, imply a degree of hostility? Is kissing someone in affection, however inappropriately, or showing someone a photo of a nude male torso necessarily predatory behavior?"
...These are scary times, for women as well as men. There is an inquisitorial whiff in the air, and my particular fear is that in true American fashion, all subtlety and reflection is being lost. Next we’ll be torching people for the content of their fantasies."

"Her story captured national attention, and drew public condemnation from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and Toronto Mayor John Tory. In a new statement issued Monday afternoon, Tory said "it is good to know" that no attack actually took place."
Why they open their stupid mouths before an investigation is complete is beyond me. Idiots.
And to believe right off the bat such things is extraordinary to me. It's the same nonsense we just saw with the story at a Starbucks in Philadelphia. Progressives in particular irresponsibly jump to conclusions before any facts are in because they have a faux-outrage narrative to maintain.
'"We have seen an unfortunate pattern of increased hate crimes in past months directed towards religious minorities, particularly towards women," [Trudeau] said, calling such violence "a warning sign of increased intolerance."'
"[Police spokesman Pugash] stressed it's 'quite rare' for someone to make false allegations of this type, and said he hopes it will not discourage others from coming forward."
Quite rare, my ass. False accusations should be punished much more harshly than they are for the simple reason that not doing so encourages more of them. This is fraud, and the only wonderful thing is that an innocent man's life wasn't flipped upside down because of an eleven year old's lie.

"If you're a reader exclusively of the New York Times or the Washington Post or HuffPost or a viewer of the networks, MSNBC or CNN, you would assume not a whole lot was going on in Iran -- some relatively minor disturbances surely, but nothing substantial. This, although protests have erupted in over 80 Iranian cities. (Wikipedia only lists 98 in the entire country.)
Exceptions exist, of course, but basically it's almost as if a code of silence were engulfing left-wing media outlets that you would think would be excited by a citizenry liberating -- or even attempting to liberate -- itself from one of the most oppressive, misogynist and homophobic regimes on Earth, one that spreads terror across the globe in the name of its bizarre religious-fascist ideology.
You would think the MSM -- writers, editors and personalities -- would be enthusiastic about such an uprising, opening up their pages and screens to its supporters and even cheering them on. That's what liberals used to do -- applaud democracy and freedom.
That's what happened before and after the Berlin Wall fell, but it's not happening now. Now you have the feeling that many in the MSM, conflicted though they may be, deep in their heart of hearts and barely able to admit it to themselves, are rooting for the mullahs to win. So they are silent.
The reason for this omertà -- or near omertà , to be accurate -- is obvious. The rebellion reflects poorly, to say the least, on Barack Obama."

I like The Daily Beast. Good liberal journalism not afraid of digging for the truth. Here's a story about Seth Abramson:
"...That Abramson has kept playing his “metamodernist” games from his early academic career through his current role as a Trump-Russia shouldn’t surprise anyone.
As long as Trump is in the White House, people who play with words and stories for position and profit will hold sway over the dreams of those liberals willing to accept about any excuse for the Trump presidency and any claim that it’s about to end that doesn’t involve introspection and an honest accounting of the factors that put him there."

"...Boulderites want the courts to force ExxonMobil and Suncor to pay treble damages for causing too much snow and thus floods in some years, too little snow and thus droughts and poor ski conditions in other years; multiple heat waves in some years, bitter cold in others. They seek unspecified cash for climate adaptation, repair and reparation expenses – and restoration of idyllic conditions of selected past years.
Their 106-page, 478-paragraph complaint (with scores of sub-paragraphs) alleges that oil companies have committed public and private nuisance, trespass, continued sales of “huge amounts of fossil fuels,” and willful concealment of known harm from those sales – all to the great detriment of Boulder citizens.
These are the same fuels that saved whales from imminent extinction and gave Boulder and humanity prosperity, technology, health and longevity no one could even imagine when Colorado became a state in 1876. But now they’re suing the companies that have provided reliable, affordable fuels and raw materials that have brought them lights, heat, livelihoods, living standards, and countless products from paints, plastics, pharmaceuticals and fertilizers to skis, ski parkas, and vehicle fuel and asphalt roads to ski areas..."
"...Those assertions now have the unwavering support of an entire industry – the $1.5-trillion-per-year Climate Industrial Complex: politicians, regulators, researchers, industrialists and activists, who protect and advance alarmist claims, promote allegedly “renewable” energy, resist examination and reform, and denounce anyone who questions climate chaos orthodoxy as “planet-threatening climate change deniers....”
"...In fact, a 2016 “Lawyers for Better Business” report said climate lawsuits will soon “dwarf all other litigation in terms of the number of plaintiffs and the timeframe in which it can happen.” It’s likely to become a global industry, “with much bigger damages than seen with tobacco and asbestos.”

The river that runs through Isfahan, a legendary city of gardens in the desert, literally has run dry. Some Iranian officials warn that tens of millions of Iranians will have to leave their homes for lack of water. The country has used up 70% of its groundwater and its literally drying up major rivers to maintain consumption. It's the worst ecological disaster in modern history...."

He had created a “false self “ & a world where anything he says-is true & real because he is so much greater & above everyone- if he thinks it , so it shall be .

“Between 1940 and 1950, black poverty rates fell by as much as 40 percent. Between 1940 and 1970, the number of blacks in middle-class professions quadrupled. Keep in mind that was before affirmative action programs.”
Dr. Williams was largely reacting to a video posted by Manhattan Institute scholar Jason Riley on PragerU. “The fact that political success is not a requirement for socio-economic success — and indeed may have an opposite effect — doesn’t apply only to blacks,” Dr. Williams notes. “American Jews, Italians, Germans, Japanese and Chinese attained economic power long before they had political power.”
“By almost any measure of socio-economic success, Japanese and Chinese are at or near the top. Riley asks, ‘How many prominent Asian politicians can you name?’ By contrast, Irish-Americans have long held significant political power yet were the slowest-rising of all immigrant groups.”

"The psalmist tries to understand reality in contrast to the progressive who decides what virtue is to be and re-evaluates the past accordingly. They are two points of view and ways of thinking, with Marxism winning the argument -- at least in the academy, the media and entertainment -- through most of the 20th century. But in the 21st century, first slowly but with gathering speed the Internet has collapsed the Narrative and laid bare the corruption of Hollywood, politics and the media. For the first time in a century, the assumption progressives are a uniquely moral people pursuing a virtuous enterprise is impossible to sustain."
"...With George Washington declared a racist, along with Christopher Columbus, Thomas Jefferson, and Teddy Roosevelt, there is no refuge from absurdity. Marx's heirs, having freed themselves from moral restraints, have ridiculously proceeded to construct an elaborate system of mores governing every aspect of life. There are now PC formulas for bathrooms, transgender forms of address, Halloween costumes, sexual behavior, speech, food choices, energy consumption, transportation and even mathematics, just to name a few. Among the innumerable rules of virtue there's even a sacrament of penance, to which Harvey Weinstein has subscribed, declaring his intention to atone for his reported sexual assaults by fighting the NRA."
Exactly. They are indeed losing the plot. Which is why they're lashing out kicking and screaming. They can't seem to rise to the challenge of debate. Probably because their world view is no longer resonating and relies on too much government force and other agents of tyranny to succeed. It can't appeal to a free and open reasoned mind.

"...Of course the silent majority of university students, professors, and taxpayers who fund these courses are not as ideologically invested as their radical colleagues. But the silent majority are also usually irrelevant, as the history of humanity illustrates. In the Soviet Union, the majority of the Russian civilians were not Stalinists nor were most of the Chinese civilians hardcore Maoist Red guards. Today in the West, intersectional departments are acting as commissars who are attempting to set the terms of the debate. They are increasingly framing opposition to their ideas as violence against their personhood. In select institutions, gullible administrators are adding fuel to the fire by actually paying students to monitor each other for micro-aggressions and other markers of ideological impurity."

A bioethicist's job is to justify murder. Specifically, they come up with philosophical frameworks to make palpable to people about why killing certain humans is needed in the interest of human progress and science.
"It’s beyond the pale and goes to show we can rationalize anything (in this case human suicide and probably murder because what this mentality leads to is…camps. For example, a Hitler for the environment backed by ‘science’.)"
“I am certainly not arguing that we should shame parents, or even that we’re obligated to have a certain number of children. As I’ve said elsewhere, I don’t think there is a tidy answer to the challenging questions of procreative ethics. But that does not mean we’re off the moral hook. As we face the very real prospect of catastrophic climate change, difficult — even uncomfortable — conversations are important. Yes, we should discuss the ethics of making babies with care and respect; but we should discuss it.”
But we should shame them and kill the kids. To be sure….and safe.
“Travis Rieder, Ph.D, is the Assistant Director for Education Initiatives, Director of the Master of Bioethics degree program and Research Scholar at the Berman Institute of Bioethics.”
To add to what I said above:
Bioethics. The art of finding ways by psychopaths or sociopaths to murder in the interest of science and faux-morality. See England and NHS.

Hey man, stop having kids for the environment. If not, sorry, we'll just have to stop you - or worse.
Hey man, we tried to reason with the 'alt-right' and 'racists'. They just won't listen and Facebook and Twitter aren't taking censorship seriously (we believe in free speech! but come on there are limits as we define them!) and we need to...punch them. Or kill them. Or assassinate Presidents we *think* have 'emboldened' misgoynsys.

Non-citizens most likely did vote in 2016.
Here's a nice break down.
And here:
"We find that some non-citizens participate in U.S. elections, and that this participation has been large enough to change meaningful election outcomes including Electoral College votes, and Congressional elections. Non-citizen votes likely gave Senate Democrats the pivotal 60th vote needed to overcome filibusters in order to pass health care reform and other Obama administration priorities in the 111th Congress."

Google is a mess. Had they just stayed clear of this social engineering 'diversity is our strength' nonsense they would have been fine. They would have been any other corporation properly run and managed. Instead they opened a Pandora's Box and unleashed forces they can't put back in unless they completely reverse course and knock it off. They created a monster and have to hope it doesn't rip their head off. Work is not a club house. It's work and professional etiquette dictates you think as one for the company; not act as though you're all unique islands entitled to special treatment.
James Damore has done a great service for people but above all, perhaps in the long-run even for Google.
Google's arrogance was such that they believed to be smart enough to be able to manage the vast intricate system we call the human mind and spirt. Much like how people think they can 'fight' Mother Nature over climate change.
Kirsten Grind and Douglas MacMillan of the WSJ:
"Google has long promoted a work culture that is more like a college campus—where loud debates and doctrinaire stances are commonplace—and today its parent, Alphabet...is increasingly struggling to keep things under control.
"Activists at Google" helped organize a rally critical of President Donald Trump's policies. "Militia at Google" members discussed their desire to overturn a prohibition on guns in the office. "Conservatives at Google" allege discrimination against right-leaning job candidates. "Sex Positive at Google" group members are concerned that explicit content is being unfairly removed from Google Drive file-sharing software."
"Googlers For Animals" invited the PETA president, only to be undercut by members of the "Black Googler Network."
I fully expect Google to double down because they're not very bright on matters of science and human nature.

The tower amid the ruins.
Although Karl Marx, not Adolf Hiter, was arguably the most destructive German ever born, Bret Stephens writes in the New York Times that Western intellectuals will go to extreme lengths to deny it.
Why is Marxism still taken seriously on college campuses and in the progressive press? ... These aren’t original questions. But they’re worth asking because so many of today’s progressives remain in a permanent and dangerous state of semi-denial ...****
They will insist that there is an essential difference between Nazism and Communism ... balance acknowledgment of the repression and mass murder of Communism with references to its “real advances and achievements.”
Climate change? Da Jews.

Developments in NY and CO on banning gun sales by pressuring companies is a bad omen and Americans need to keep an eye on this.

This is one of them.

California is (fill in the blank)
California health care workers who “willfully and repeatedly” decline to use a senior transgender patient’s “preferred name or pronouns” could face punishments ranging from a fine to jail time under a newly signed law.
California Gov. Jerry Brown signed the legislation last week. The sponsor, Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener, has argued adamantly that nobody is going to be criminally prosecuted for using the wrong pronoun.
“It’s just more scare tactics by people who oppose all LGBT civil rights and protections,” he said in a statement last month.
But the language seemingly allows for the possibility, however remote.
But you see....no one is actually going to be prosecuted. We're just putting in there as a warning. Sorta like how the Mafia sends out *messages* to witnesses. Which begs the question: If no one will be prosecuted, why have a law?
They use the same insulting, bull shit language here with Bill C-16. Apparently, it's 'remote' anyone would get prosecuted (I guess they're admitting trans represent under 1% of the population. That's what they mean by 'remote'. Boy I wouldn't want to be the sucker who is prosecuted) and so it's all good and we're being paranoid.
What utter rubbish.

Steyn:
Well, in the old days, the bourgeoisie expected bourgeois values throughout society. The wealthy and powerful disdained them, but discreetly. Now they disdain them openly. Indeed, they wage war on them, relentlessly. Instead, they enforce "progressive" values. Institutions fundamental to the nation-state, such as citizenship, have to be rendered meaningless - so that what matters in any immigration debate is not the citizens but the invaders, to the point where Nancy Pelosi thanks the parents of "Dreamers" for breaking American law and bringing them here, as a precious gift to a nation crying out for even more low-skilled immigrants. As for institutions that pre-date the nation-state - institutions almost as old as humanity - they're as easy to redefine, so that marriage can no longer be confined to those of opposite sexes. Speaking of the sexes, human biology can be vaporized, so that two sexes become 57 genders, and grade-school boys more interested in Barbie than GI Joe get to be pumped full of puberty blockers and directed to the girls' bathroom. And after all that, religion has to be put on the back foot, so that any recalcitrant mom'n'pop bakery for whom two men atop a wedding cake is an abomination, must be hunted down, dragged into court and financially ruined pour encourager les autres. And in a revolutionary present it is necessary ultimately to throttle the past - eliminating Robert E Lee, Christopher Columbus, Dr Seuss, Stephen Foster, the national anthem, to dam up the stream of history, the flow of past to present to future, and thus sever the citizenry from their entire inheritance, so that we are mere flotsam and jetsam on the frothing surface of the moment - a world where, in a certain sense, Harvey Weinstein is God.
What's left? The military? Sports? The boy scouts? Traditionally masculine institutions are now among the most cowed and craven and politically correct - far more so than, say, a Weinstein junket to the Cannes Film Festival. Country music? Hey, if that's your bag, don't come crying to CBS vice-presidents when your yee-haw hoedown gets shot up - because "country music fans often are Republican gun toters".
Since Steyn wrote this article, the left have added to it. They defend MS-13, don't like Trump's pardons, suddenly don't like celebrities in the White House even though they were fine with it for eight years under Obama and root against peace in North Korea.
Because 'resistance.'

We have grants to spend:
"Diet failures are often attributed to an increase in cravings for attractive foods. However, accumulating evidence shows that food cravings actually decrease during energy-restricting weight-loss interventions. The current study aimed at elucidating possible mechanisms that may explain how and under which circumstances food cravings in- or decrease during dieting. Specifically, decreases in food cravings during weight-loss diets may be due to effects of energy restriction (homeostatic changes) and to effects of avoiding specific foods (hedonic changes). Thus, we used a selective, hedonic deprivation (i.e., restricting intake of a specific food in the absence of an energy deficit) that precludes homeostatic changes due to energy restriction. Furthermore, interindividual differences in food craving experiences might affect why some individuals are more prone to experience cravings during dieting than others. Thus, we investigated whether a selective deprivation of chocolate would in- or decrease craving and implicit preference for chocolate as a function of trait-level differences in chocolate craving..."

Quote derp of the day:
"EU tax crackdown on tech giants will damage growth"
What a bizarre thing to say.
So should no companies, or individuals pay tax because it would be good for growth? And lets say there was lots of 'Growth' but no taxation, how exactly is that in a countries best interests?
This issue, at its heart is about how countries choose to fund the essential services for their populations. The notion that companies get a say in the amount they pay is absurd. They pay, or they don't play."
Teach business, finance and economics in school.
