Ahh Gotta love the tryany of inclusivness!

Recently, I started seeing little bit of chatter urging people to not donate any more money to the Multiple Sclerosis Society. 

I wasn’t sure what that was about. The Multiple Sclerosis Society has been around for a long time and has done a lot of work supporting people with Multiple Sclerosis.

I always thought of them as a pretty honorable group, as such things go.

Wherever there is money and tax free organizations, there is always misappropriation of funds and the nasty infighting of power hungry individuals scrambling to the top of the hierarchy. 

It’s a fact of life. My rule has been that if more than 60% of the dollars actually get to helping the people an organization claims to serve, then they’re probably okay to donate cash to, as long as I get the tax deduction out of it.  

Ever since my encounters with the HRC, United Way, and Several of the “Pride” organizations in the 1990s. I’ve been a lot tighter with my money and my volunteer time.

It’s not that  I don’t want to help other people out, it’s that I don’t want to volunteer time, money, effort, and resources to make a bunch of assholes at the top of an organization wealthy and powerful.

Most of the organizations I encountered behaved a lot more like High School Prom committees than actually wanting to help. Every organization was rife with back stabbing, misspending, cliques, the “popular” shitting on the less popular, and all the shitty behaviors you can imagine people are capable of. Any of this sounding familiar? If you need a refresher course, go volunteer for one of the alphabet groups for just one week. I dare you!

Believe me, after that you’ll be ready to move off grid, never interacting with another human being for the rest of your life.

Besides, we’re already forced to participate in this sort of group behavior with our shitty government Federal and State!

I learned my lesson!

Imagine my surprise learning what the source of the chatter was. I absolutely agree that the Multiple Sclerosis Society needs to have its donations cut off.

It turns out that Libs Of TikTok is the source of the chatter and once again I have to applaud them.

The story is this, 

A 90-year-old California woman has been fired from her volunteer role at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society after 60 years of service because she didn’t understand the necessity of declaring her preferred pronouns. 

And why should she? I guarantee she understands Pronoun usage better than most people. Even if she isn’t an English teacher.

What she didn’t understand was being forced to declare her pronouns. Yes I said FORCED

To someone like her, or in fact myself, having to declare pronouns is a useless and pointless exercise. Pronouns have pretty much always been self evident.

I personally despise being forced to declare my pronouns, because doing so, drags me into someone else’s delusions and makes it appear that I support those delusions. Which I do not! Nor do I wish to keep up with the ever changing miasma of odd combinations of two or three letters which are unpronounceable, yet appear to serve as a pronoun for some visibly deranged individual.

Upon seeing these individuals, it is not what pronoun I should use that is forefront in my mind. It is usually the verb, “RUN”.

There is a YouTube interview here with Fran Itkoff who is the volunteer the Multiple Sclerosis Society dismissed.

I’m linking the Breitbart article here 

Further I’m lifting chunks of the Breitbart article that are interesting. I urge you to read the entire article.

An email from National MS Society Community Engagement Manager Kali Kulor accused the veteran volunteer of violating the nonprofit’s “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” guidelines.

Fran Itkoff is 90. She’s been involved with the MS Society for 2/3 of her life. I’d say she fucking deserves a little consideration and courtesy.

Oh and this is just my opinion… FUCK Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. How about we just treat each other with respect, kindness, and courtesy?

Itkoff’s daughter, Elle, said the move to fire her mom was “ironic” because “excluding a 90-year-old disabled woman who has volunteered for 60 years” doesn’t seem to fall in line with the group’s mission for inclusivity.” 

This is one of the best examples of, ‘Lets be inclusive by being exclusive.’ You know, kind of like college safe spaces that say, “All are welcome here, EXCEPT WHITE PEOPLE!”  If the people coming up with this sewage had the briefest moment of introspection, or the capacity to think with any kind of logic they’d probably have their heads implode. Unfortunately, instead they assault the rest of us with their insanity.

Frankly, I’m DAMN sick and tired of the psychological assault!

The Libs of TikTok interview has gone viral.

Following the viral interview, the National MS Society doubled down on their decision to fire Itkoff. In an email to other volunteers, the executive vice president of the group’s general counsel implied that the 90-year-old was let go because others shouldn’t have to feel “unsafe” at work.

Unsafe at work? What the fuck? How about the fact that through my entire career, there have been people who got my pronouns right but couldn’t pronounce my last name?

AHHHHHHHHH I’m afraid! I’m damaged, I’m Triggered, I’m not valued, I’m unsafe at work! Where is my million dollar restitution????

Unsafe at work… My Hairy ASS!

Grow a spine, and thicker skin you fucking pronoun pussies!

Can you tell I’m over this kind of shit?

Good I knew you could!

The sudden resignation of the society’s president and CEO, Cyndi Zagieboylo, further added fuel to the flames.” 

I suspect that Cyndi Zagieboylo saw the handwriting on the wall and decided she didn’t want to be at the helm of a society that was probably going to self destruct. So she exited stage left, getting out while the gettin was good.

In a way I respect her if that is what she did and why. She probably realized the rot was too far gone for her to be able to do anything about it.

In typically laughable fashion, The MS Society has attempted to, what? Explain themselves? Uh, hold the course? Ignore the real issue? (They’re wrong, and they’ve fucked up.) By releasing this statement.

Recently, a volunteer, Fran Itkoff, was asked to step away from her role because of statements that were viewed as not aligning with our policy of inclusion. Fran has been a valued member of our volunteer team for more than 60 years. We believe that our staff acted with the best of intentions and did their best to navigate a challenging issue. As an organization, we are in a continued conversation about assuring that our diversity, equity and inclusion policies evolve in service of our mission, and will reach out to Fran in service of this goal.

Apparently, the MS Society has also taken down their Board of Directors page. Why is unclear. 

Some are suggesting that perhaps the blowback has been intense enough that the board is attempting to “Hide” 

I hate to say it, but perhaps the National Multiple Sclerosis Society needs a good dose of the “BudLight Treatment”.

When their donations drop to the point that they’re laying off payed staff and not being able to keep the lights on, maybe they’ll get the message that this Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion shit needs to fucking stop.

At least now I get why X/Twitter chatter was saying to defund the Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Surprisingly, I agree.

Al Sharpton is still a thing?

I thought that crazy, racist, old, tax evader  had been roasting his nuts in Hell for a few years now.

Obviously I was mistaken since he was leading a protest against a rich guy supposedly to support Claudine Gay’s racism claims.

Old Al must be running out of money. I’m sure he’s already sent a “Deal” a.k.a. Blackmail demand to Bill Ackman.

It probably reads something like, “Give me a check for a 5 million dollars and then you say you’re sorry about being a racist on my TV show and this protest will go away. I’ll make sure the money gets into the right hands.”

Isn’t that the way black leaders do things?

The money is never used to do any good for the black community, it always ends up in the pockets of the black leaders.

BLM? Paging BLM? How many houses did the BLM leadership buy? Jesse Jackson? Paging Jesse Jackson? How much money in “Donations” have you accepted? How much has been invested in the black community? Louis Farrakhan? Paging Louis Farrakhan how much antisemitic, anti-white vitriol have you spewed over the years? How much money have you raised and invested in the black community? Raised? A Lot. Invested? Not so much.

And Finally Al Sharpton. The racist, hateful, track suit wearing, tax evading, spotlight stealing, Democrat dick sucking, ass licking, fomenter of conflict, example of Napoleon syndrome… 

(Can you tell I have a dim view of black leaders, especially Al Sharpton? Good, I knew you could.)


I’d love to speak directly to Al Sharpton and say;

Run Al, RUN! Satan is demanding his due. I generally pray that the Angel of Death is gentle and kind when he comes to collect. In your case I might make an exception.

Throughout my entire life, Al Sharpton has been at the center of every single race related conflict. This man has spewed more hatred and stirred up more violence and cruelty than almost anyone I can think of. 

He always says it’s about ending racism, but it’s always worked out to be the opposite. 

I simply can’t understand why this fucking piece of shit is still a thing. He’s supposed to be a “reverend”, why hasn’t he returned to the church and gotten himself right with God?

His message these days sure as hell isn’t the gospel. At minimum his message is Hatred of Trump. But his overarching message is one of hatred of all white people and making them pay again and again for shit that 99% of white people don’t and didn’t do.

Believe me… If white people were expending as much energy on racism as Sharpton et al claim. There wouldn’t be any black people in America because they’d have been hunted to extinction.

At one time the black community claimed that young black men turned to crime because they were treated like criminals all the time by society. I don’t know how true this is or if it was simply a way to excuse the out of control criminal activity in black communities and force changes in sentencing laws because the majority of prison populations were black men.

Nonetheless, I can’t help but wonder. If all white people are racists, if there is no redemption, if white people are being called white supremacists and racists all the time, doesn’t the same rule apply? If society is going to treat white people like racists, doesn’t it follow that with people will be racists?

See, I believe humans, all humans, react the same way to certain stimuli. If young black men were made to be criminals by the way they were treated, then logically Al Sharpton, and the other black leaders are creating racists and white supremacists with their rhetoric and painting all white people with the same brush. 

For me… After a lifetime of getting up and saying, “I will not be an asshole today, I will not be a racist today,” now I get up and say, “I will not be an asshole today.” Whether I’m a racist by intention or accident, it doesn’t matter, with no redemption, and the assumption I’m a racist, why try? Black now has the same meaning in my head as the censored “N” word. Oddly, since I’m not worrying about being a racist anymore, I am happier.

Someone needs to tell Al, take your silly assed protest that is clearly based in the purest form of racism, and go home. Go back to spouting hate on MSNBC or from your pulpit or your basement or wherever, nobody cares. The damage you’ve done in your lifetime may well take a century to undo.

Al should also be told, Claudine Gay was forced to resign not because of her skin color, but because she broke the rules. Rules all academics are supposed to follow, and she did it willfully and in a racist way because she is black and a woman. She knew she was protected by Academia and society’s terror of being labeled a racist. She used her race and gender as a shield figuring no-one would ever call her out on it.

That is why anyone with a brain wants to see Claudine Gay dismissed not only as President of Harvard, but also from her tenured teaching position, and stripped of her Doctorate. It’s not about skin color, it’s about unfairness and taking advantage of the insidious and unjustified collective guilt, Al Sharpton, and his confederates have spent 50 years instilling in our culture.

Claudine Gay richly deserves cancellation. If the race grifters were smart they’d be leading the charge. Because Claudine Gay has exposed the race and educational system scams and how they work. How much money are indoctrination centers, (otherwise known as colleges,) hemorrhaging now?

It’s obvious that the fucking Reverend Sharpton is looking for a payday from a rich guy. Reverend Sharpton just wants him to purchase an indulgence from the Sharpton Church of Racism. In that “reverend” Sharpton, is not much different from Claudine Gay, they’re Con artists!

Do us all a favor Al…

Just Shut the fuck up!

Well I won’t go to work for Red Hat or IBM!

Caught this and pretty much lost my shit.

What hacked me off was this section

ALLYSHIP COMMANDMENTS

  1. Openly acknowledges PRIVILEGE and SYSTEMIC racism exist in trauma
  2. Never questions the REALITY of our BLACK friends and colleagues
  3. Rejects the idea that race is political
  4. Accepts that WHITE people are responsible for dismantling racism
  5. Only WHITE people are racist
  6. Knows the BLACK community owes us nothing in this work
  7. Requires acknowledgment and repair of inevitable MISTAKES
  8. Is never rooted in WHITE SAVIORISM
  9. Sees the black community as a group of individuals and not a MONOLITH
  10. Does NOT seek recognition or praise for a job well done

What the ever living fuck is this shit?

Item “5. Only WHITE people are racist” Uh nope! Some of the most racist folks I’ve ever worked with were Asian folks. Japanese, Korean, Chinese, folks literally hate each other in a professional way. A Japanese engineer will take any and every opportunity to embarrass a Chinese engineer and vice versa. Korean engineers will do the same to either Japanese or Chinese folks with equal venom!

Have the morons writing this list of commandments taken a look at South Africa lately? Uh dumbshits… It’s not white farmers shooting each other, burning fields, and raping women.

Item 10 is also a real winner. That just does alway with meritocracy.

You never get a raise unless you generate some buzz about yourself. Believe me, just doing your job, being there every day, and going home will absolutely not get you a raise or promotion. Raises and Promotions only come to those who publicize themselves or plant their lips on their bosses asses. Item 10 is nothing more than a method to prevent White people from getting raises or promotions.

I won’t be applying for any position with IBM or Red Hat. The good thing is that my job search in the morning will be shorter.

The bad thing is that my job search has been getting shorter daily over the past year. As more and more companies go “Woke” or start with this DEI shit, I know without question that I’m going to be ignored. Even if I were to get hired, it’s unlikely that I’d make it through orientation.

I’m not going to sign a document or declaration that espouses beliefs that I do not agree with, or believe.

On the plus side…

Screenshot 2023 11 13 at 8 05 22 AMIn Wauwatosa, WI there won’t be any Palestinian flags flying in city buildings.

This is true for at least the Christmas season. You see, a memo from a Wisconsin deputy city administrator discouraged employees from putting up “religious decorations” in “red and green colors” for the holidays in public buildings in order to be “inclusive.”

You have to love ill thought out edicts with unintended consequences!

Since Red and Green are used in Christmas Decorations. Or so the theory goes, Christmas is offensive to some people and can’t be celebrated. Red and Green are also used in the Palestinian Flag, Most African Flags, and of course the flag of Italy.

So tell me again, how this is inclusive???

What this deputy city administrator really wanted to say was, “Hey Christians Fuck you and your Christmas Trees, traditions, and decorations,”  She just didn’t have the guts to say it out loud or in print.

This was directed at employees decorating their cubicles. With “Open Office” floor plans it’s likely that the cubicles are visible from public areas and are therefore considered public areas.

The last place I worked, we could decorate the hell out of the place for Halloween. But we couldn’t do elaborate decorations for Christmas. It was the same thinking… We had Jews, Muslims, Atheists, and people from every religious persuasion in the building. Christmas decorations could offend those other people so they were muted.

The funniest thing was that the practitioners of Wicca were the happiest folks in the building because everyone went wild over Halloween. That being the only holiday that wasn’t frowned upon. Even the Fourth of July was frowned upon because there were workers from other countries in the building.

I’ll grant you, this is a small thing. But it’s another annoyance, and I think an attempt to wipe Christianity and possibly American values, from America. 

I really miss the elaborate decorations in malls at Christmas. When I was a child shopping with my parents, the decorations made the time of year magical. As an adult myself, shopping for family and friends, the decorations made me smile and actually enjoy being trampled, in over crowded Southern California malls.

Over time, those beautiful elaborate decorations became muted, and watered down, the last time I was in a favored mall the decorations seemed “phoned in”. There was no joy in them, and many were obviously shop worn, not having been replaced for many years.

I think this trend is not inclusive at all.

Inclusion would be, “Hi, come on in, join us in our fun and revelry. Let’s brighten up this dark time of year. You don’t have to believe in my religion to participate, you’re welcome all the same. Where are you from? How can I make you feel welcome?”

This “inclusivity” is actually exclusion. It eliminates a situation where respectful questions get asked, and people smile at each other more. A time when people share favorite foods, family recipes, and sweets, enjoying it all together and putting aside differences.

This inverted “Inclusion” spawns nothing but low level resentment and demonstrates that some are apparently MORE included than others. Some are more important because they can’t have any possibility of their feelings being hurt.

Honestly, that’s the birth of resenting “Snowflakes”. If you’re so weak in your beliefs, culture, sexuality, or whatever, that you have to be protected at the expense of everyone else’s method of going about their lives…

You’re going to be disliked. Not because of your beliefs, but because you disrupt and prevent others from pursuing happiness in their way.

It begs the question, why is group X,Y, or Z more important than all the rest of us? How do they rate and why?

I wonder if some people seeking answers to those kind of questions find themselves harboring resentment that blossoms into hatred. In their search for inclusion do these folks join hate groups that they would never have considered had they not been excluded by “Inclusion”.

It’s just a theory. I honestly hope I’m wrong. I do wonder though, if we stripped away all the sophistry and spoke what we really felt and thought without fear, would a majority of us admit we felt excluded from society by the never ending inclusivity movement? It’s just a thought.

Merry Christmas to Wauwatosa, WI.

To anyone working for the city of Wauwatosa, WI who might be proud of their African, Italian, or Palestinian heritage… Y’all will need to put the flags in your cubicles away until after Jan 1st!

On Palestinian Refugees…

No Thanks!

We already have a Palestinian!Talib

This one is quite enough.

If Egypt refuses to allow Palestinians into their country, there’s a reason.

Could it be that Egypt knows that the majority of the Palestinians are radicalized and will probably launch attacks on Israel from their soil?

Could the Egyptians be smart enough to realize that they don’t want to give Israel any reason to attack them? Egypt and Israel have had wars, so it’s not that the Egyptians are all that worried about it, but maybe they’re not ready to engage in war again. Maybe they like peace more than they want to destroy Israel.

It doesn’t matter why… What matters is that Egypt knows something about the Palestinians and consider it too high a risk, or too many mouths to feed.

Now that it’s come out some of the missiles the Palestinians fired into Israel were made from water pipes that Israel gave to the Palestinians to irrigate their fields. I personally am suspicious of everything the Palestinians say. That goes for any Palestinian anywhere.

Obviously Hamas had help, while not every Palestinian is a fighter in Hamas… It’s clear a substantial number of them were helping Hamas.

By the way, this occupation narrative where people say Israel was occupying Gaza… It’s bullshit! The Israeli settlers left a long assed time ago. They left fields, greenhouses, and infrastructure.

The Palestinians and Hamas chose to do some seriously fucked up shit because like many parasites they always want more and will continue taking more and more until they’ve destroyed their benefactor.

The Palestinians and Hamas could have turned Gaza into a fantastic tourist destination with a booming economy. They could have fed and educated their population. They could have become a 21st success. Israel would have helped them do it!

The Israelis would have loved to have a stable, peaceful, productive, Gaza.

But Palestinians chose flat out evil. They chose to leave their people hungry, thirsty, and destitute. Hamas chose to use their people as human shields.

I’m pretty damn sure a martyr for Allah would choose to be alive instead of blown to bits for a cause they weren’t sure they supported, instigated by a bunch of assholes living it up in Qatar on money that could have been used to improve living conditions in Palestinian lands.

With that kind of mentality, we don’t need any Palestinian refugees at all! Hell, we don’t know who’s in our country right now, we don’t need to add any more assholes to the mix.
