Disney VP Takes Leave of Absence After Date with Undercover Reporter for James O'Keefe

Missouri AG Andrew Bailey has his sights set on punishing IBM executives who blatantly admitted to racial discrimination on video.  The attorney general summed up the purpose of his lawsuit against IBM on the June 20 edition of Mornings with Maria, telling Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo that “It's time to end corporate racism in America.” Bailey said, “This lawsuit is an important step in harpooning that whale. The CEO of IBM has stated publicly that his executives have to enforce racial quotas or risk sanction in the form of reduced bonuses and agents of IBM have actually bragged about having terminated other company leaders for failing to live up to these racial quotas.”  Bailey further elaborated that IBM CEO and Chairman Arvind Krishna had been extremely specific in his admission and even singled out Asian job applicants. “In fact, the CEO of IBM has explicitly stated that, for instance, Asians are not an under-represented ethnic group within the big tech industry and thus must be punished and denied opportunities, based solely on their countries of origin or ethnicity,” Bailey said. The attorney general stressed that “This is illegal, violates the Missouri Human Rights Act. And we’re going to put a stop to it.” Last year, leaked footage showed Krishna and Red Hat CEO Matt Hicks discussing DEI initiatives. Red Hat is an IBM subsidiary. As noted by Bailey, Krishna embraced hiring employees based on their race and made clear that pay increases would be tied to whether the company met its diversity quotas. Meanwhile, Hicks openly admitted that employees who opposed DEI initiatives are no longer with his company. Incredibly, IBM provided a statement denying the use of racial quotas. Presumably, IBM and its subsidiary just ignore what their chief executive officers say.  [WATCH: Independent Journalist Tucker Carlson Denounces ‘Racial Fascism’ at IBM] Bailey filed the lawsuit on June 20, seeking to legally protect IBM employees in Missouri from having their pay affected for failing to reach diversity quotas or being fired for their race, while also shielding Missouri applicants for IBM positions from racial discrimination.  In a press release, Bailey wrote, “It has come to my attention that IBM has adopted an unlawful policy that blatantly favors applicants of a certain skin color over others, and that managers within the company who refuse to comply with said policy face adverse action, including and up to, termination. Discrimination in the workplace violates both state and federal law, which is why I am filing this lawsuit.” Conservatives are under attack! Conservatives are under attack.

On Oct. 30, 2012, Disney acquired Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion and, with it, “Star Wars.” Since then, Disney’s stewardship of a property George Lucas himself often failed to steward wisely has descended into farce. There is an old joke that the proof time travel is not real is because George Lucas did not die after the release of “Return of the Jedi” in 1983. Lucas went on to continually re-edit his famous movies in ways that left fans cold. Then, he made the prequels and introduced characters like Jar Jar Binks and bad dialogue. Selling to Disney seemed like a blessing. Now the fans are ready for Disney to surrender the properties back. Lucas may have made us suffer with Jar Jar, but Disney has foisted “The Acolyte” on us. Currently, the latest “Star Wars” offering, available for streaming on Disney Plus, is rated by the audience at 14% on the film review site Rotten Tomatoes. That is far less than even the widely hated “Star Wars Holiday Special” from 1978, which gets a 25% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Much has been made about the woke, highly progressive plot of intersectional lesbian witches starring a nonbinary and gay cast directed by a lesbian director. Forget all of that. In the first episode, a fire broke out on the wing of a spaceship in space. There are basic rules to science fiction, including sound allowed in the vacuum of space and going faster than the speed of light. Every science fiction show takes liberties with those sorts of plot devices. But a fire spreading in space has, until now, been too absurd even for the most absurd science fiction plots. Fire is, in fact, a problem. In the third episode of the series, a cave burned down. The cave was made of stone. So, too, were the steel bridges that also caught fire and burned. Given the pervasive wokeness of the show, one might be left to conclude the stone and steel identified as wood. Plot points are embarrassing. Over the course of three episodes, the audience is led to believe one character, due to be killed, is on an uncharted planet in a dense and unexplored forest. The good guys and bad guys all arrive in the fourth episode to search for the character and find him already dead in about 15 minutes. So much for that plot point. Then there is the dialogue. One of the intersectional lesbian witches who is able to have a child via the Force declared that the Force is not a power to be wielded but a thread that binds everyone. Not five minutes later, the same lady declares use of the Force is about power and who gets to use it. Of course, that then leads to the woke nonsense that takes one out of a galaxy far, far away and a story that happened a long time ago and places us all into a gender studies class with language conjured five minutes ago. The lead character sees a furry creature heretofore unknown in the Star Wars universe. She asks a Jedi what the character is. The character is named “Bazil.” The lead character responds, “Is he, or they, with us?” Woke intersectional progressivism is the logic of an insane asylum and the bad writing and woke craziness intersected right at that line. The female lead could not believe an animal could be female. The creature had to be either masculine or nonbinary. It is always the woke women of the West who write women out of the plot. “The Acolyte” is a terrible show. I am not a stickler for canon in series. Writers should be able to take reasonable liberties with materials to draw in new audiences. But respect is also necessary. The woke progressives who have captured “Star Wars” show the source material no respect and treat the existing audience with disdain. Instead of creating something new, they can only deconstruct a joyless, boring, poorly acted farce. Bob Iger, please do something.

The Independent Women's Forum revealed on Friday the bus its members have been using for their “Take Back Title IX” Summer 2024 Bus Tour had been vandalized by suspected pro-transgender radicals while stopped in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.The “Take Back Title IX” Summer 2024 Bus Tour is to "commemorate the final annual celebration of the landmark sex equality law before the unlawful rewrite by the Biden administration upends Title IX as we have always known it. The new regulations strip away all sex-based protections in education, undermine women’s rights, and require schools to allow males to self-identify into women’s spaces, opportunities, and athletics," according to the Our Bodies, Our Sports coalition.'Gender ideology is hateful.'"Egged [and] defaced with profanity & anti-woman messages. Radical gender ideologues on a mission to erase womanhood seek to keep us quiet. WE WON’T BACK DOWN. WOMEN WON’T BE SILENT," the IWF said while sharing videos of the vandalism."Jesus loves transgender people and would not stand for y'all's bulls**t," one of the messages written on the bus said."Gender ideology seeks to destroy, NOT understand, uplift, listen, or reason. During Pride, we're told that it is about love and acceptance. Thanks for showing your true colors. We couldn't have done it better ourselves," IWF added. — (@) — (@) "You mean trans rights activists aren't tolerant, accepting, welcoming, and inclusive to all like they say they are? Color me shocked. This is disgusting," former college swimmer and pro-women's sports activist Riley Gaines said in response to the videos."Gender ideology is hateful. But it's been treated as above the law. So radicals defaced the fun and positive Title IX bus, because they assume no one can touch them. This is illegal, aggressive, and bigoted. We must stop this dangerous force," wrote May Mailman, director of the Independent Women’s Law Center for IWF.According to the tour's schedule, the bus was able to make it to nine other cities, such as Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and Scottsdale, Arizona, before Chapel Hill. The tour has at least three more cities, with Washington, D.C., and Nashville, Tennessee, on the list.Like Blaze News?
