The Week In Woke

New: Supreme Court okays Trump's reconstruction of the White House ballroom.

From ABC7:

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is allowing the White House to continue construction on President Donald Trump's $400 million ballroom project for now.
Roberts signed a temporary order on Friday allowing work to continue while the court considers an emergency appeal from the Trump administration.
Lower courts had ordered a halt to the project, finding that it must have congressional approval. That ruling was set to take effect on Friday. Roberts signed the order because he oversees appeals of Washington-based cases.

More businesses -- this time, corporate coffee giant Starbucks -- flee Seattle's incompetent wallflower dishrag socialist femcel.

'Where's the bottom': Economics professor addresses Seattle area's shrinking job market

Starbucks layoffs come as King County grapples with an unemployment rate of approximately 4.9%.

Obama and Biden got rid of any standards for disability payments and so took millions of frauds, fakers, and layabouts out of the theoretical labor market. So that 4.9% is higher than it looks.

Layoffs at Starbucks' Seattle headquarters is the latest sign of continuing job losses in western Washington.
Other major employers, including Amazon, Microsoft, META and Expedia have announced hundreds of local job cuts in recent months. The cuts come as King County saw its unemployment rate dip to nearly 5% in June.
Seattle University associate professor of economics Nick Huntington-Klein said the area is seeing a "sustained issue," with big companies doing sweeping cuts at the same time.
There are several factors at play, he said. These companies cite AI as the potential to replace some employees. There was also over-hiring during the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, higher taxes in Washington state and Seattle specifically has been a reason for reductions in force or for some companies to relocate.

Oh, I thought you were going to completely omit that important factor but you did acknowledge it, "finally," as a minor contributor.

"So we're seeing a number of reductions in force across a lot of these different companies that are all sort of concentrated in these similar sectors, information technology being a big one," he said.
Starbucks is filing another WARN notice Thursday covering 104 support roles and 120 employees who declined moves to Nashville, a company spokesperson told KING 5. The layoffs are the final piece of the global restructuring the company announced earlier this year.
"Starbucks itself not really a tech company, but we're seeing similar kinds of jobs leaving the area or disappearing altogether," he said.

Citizens are attempting to recall the femcel socialist mayor over her complete refusal to stop violent drug-gangwars taking place in residential neighborhoods.

Jacobson and Osterud argue that the mayor's mishandling of public safety issues meets the legal standard and provides sufficient grounds to remove her from office.
The recall petition states that a five-hour delay to hold a press conference after the Bite of Seattle food festival shooting on July 26 that killed three, continuing crime on North Aurora Avenue and in the Chinatown/International District, and a decision to turn off surveillance cameras after the World Cup, all point to the mayor's failures.
If the judge were to accept the petition as valid, the couple would have 90 days to gather 69,000 valid signatures to hold a recall.
Jacobson says she had been gratified to see online support in favor of the petition,
"Right now, there's a strong sentiment that the mayor should be recalled," she said. "But it's in the hands of the judge."

I need more clarity as to why the guy on the left was just sentenced to 4 years of house arrest after shooting 4 people in a bar at Indiana University in 2022 while the grandma on the right was sentenced to two years in prison for praying outside of an abortion clinic in 2020.

Well it's simple: The guy who shot four people is black and the Regime has decided we need "equity" in prisons and it doesn't matter that blacks commit crimes at six or seven or eight times the rate of everyone else, we're going to achieve Equality in Sentencing and sentence white grandmas to draconian sentences (for protesting) and black gunmen and attempted murderers to house arrest.

NPR ran a surprisingly good takedown of Jason Arday, pointing out he was a fabulist. A story I hadn't heard:
He claimed he had been confronted by a masked man in his Cambridge office and ordered to resign or be killed. Cambridge then installed security cameras and a panic button to protect him. He then again claimed someone came at him with a knife, and demanded he resign as part of a racist attack on him. But strangely this wasn't on the security cameras installed to protect him.
He also claimed at one point he ran '600 miles in 6 days,' but he retracted that claim when he was confronted with the math.

Don't believe DHS when it comes to these situations all you want, but this is a prime example of why anti-ICE activists are unreliable.
Their own video shows the torta opening the car door to get to the ICE agent as they appear to be leaving, forcing the other agents to push her back. Then the rest of the group jumps in to the attack the agents.
When an agent tells the videographer that they were attacked, she replies with, "I fucking see everything, y'all fucked up" as if the agents somehow started the fight.
These people are wannabe victims.

We live in a culture where pointing out wrong doing is worse than doing wrong. The person doing wrong is only doing so because he has been oppressed, but you're being mean to them by pointing out the wrong they did.

We see this play out constantly in the media and culture. There's at least one example a week. And its CONSTANTLY in social media: how dare you point out I was wrong, you're a monster! a canceler! a Nazi!

2. Replace the bucket on a string with a pole, floor to ceiling.

3. Less clothing. A lot less clothing.

4. They play music. Not just the sound of a bucket rolling around. It's upbeat with some good guitar riffs. Something vanhalenny.

5. She dances on the pole. There is no bucket.

6. Let people offer their approval in the form of standard US bills of various denominations greater than $1.

The reason for the delay doesn't just fall on Wilson's head. Pramila Jayapal and Bob Ferguson contributed to it so they could be there in order to grandstand and blame guns.

There was absolutely no reason for them to be there other than to blame guns. Which they did.

71 >>>White Hispanic Alert. There is a lot of evidence posted on social media showing police falsely claiming that clearly-black suspects and arrestees are "white."

Incentives matter. If it is racist to have crime stats that are skewed towards too many black arrests, then one way to solve it would be to arrest more white people. The other way is to keep on arresting "too many" black people, but call them white.

Given those two choices, I prefer the latter.

I was a computer consultant for a company that tracked government dollars for low income families in Florida.

The government required race codes - white, black, asian and a few others.

When clients were asked by the counselors what race they were, apparently a lit would just say "I'm Latino." And rather than argue, the counselors were basically told to look and put in a race code.

Back to work. Everyone have a good night.

125 This story is as predictable as the day is long. SF hired a black activist to sit on the Sheriff's oversight board as a DEI move. He lures a drug addict to his home, she stays there and gets high and has sex with him. Now, the city is trying to get rid of him, not easy:

From the article:

Palmer later tried to visit the woman at San Francisco General Hospital using his official position, but was turned away. He reportedly even emailed the district attorney’s office that he was “deeply” concerned about how police had ended his “trauma-informed intervention” in the woman’s life.

Served 31 years in prison, so SF has a theory that this qualifies him for police oversight.. This jailbird knows hiw to talk the talk, doesn't he?

AOC has posted Part 2 of her egg-freezing project, showing bloating. Lifting up her shirt and showing a large expanse of belly (pants are down to bikini level) from several sides to demonstrate what to expect, ladies.

Without looking, I can assure you there are terabytes of this content on the internet already. We did not need this personal info from AOC. She is not Angelina Jolie writing about getting a prophylactic double mastectomy or Baba Wawa showing how to do a breast exam on morning t.v.

At her age, those eggs won't fertilize. I don't know why she is bothering. Her fertility is mort. The doctor who is arranging this should be sued for malpractice.

Then again, AOC is an idiot, so I guess she will get what she deserves in that regard.

164 "Hispanic" only became a thing during the Nixon era early 70s, when there were financial benefits offered to this brandy new racial designation. "Chicano" was favored for a time. "Latino" came later, and all its derivatives that the woke Karens decreed, for yet another time. But historically "Hispanics" wanted to be considered "White", except when Uncle Sugar started cutting checks for the nomenclature, you see.

169 Prayers up, please, for my colleague and friend Sabrina who died in that plane crash in AK this week. She was a force of nature, very intelligent woman, exceptional engineer, and the most moral and ethical person I have ever met. She leaves an autistic son behind, which is the saddest part. If she were on this blog, she would be an amazing 'ette. You all would have loved her like I do.

She died way too young. I have been crying on and off all damned day.

I have been enthralled with a now six-part saga on Instagram of a parents group chat in which one Mom is asking the other Moms not to send Oreos in their kids’ lunches because she doesn’t allow her daughter to eat Oreos.

It’s incredible.
