A Vermont-based baking company is under fire for hosting a competition that barred white contestants from participating‚ an attempt to “foster greater inclusivity” in the world of baking. The 2024 Baking Pitchfest‚ hosted by King Arthur Baking‚ says it will provide “equitable opportunities for People of Color entrepreneurs‚” gracing the winners with “financial support‚ brand exposure‚ and mentorship to help accelerate their businesses.” The competition is billed as an “accelerator program‚” and will consist of two parts‚ a product edition and a bakery edition‚ which are limited to those defined as a “person of color led business” and a “person of color led bakery” respectively. Winners of the baking edition will receive a grand prize of $10‚000‚ “brand-building exposure through features on King Arthur Baking marketing‚” as well as one-on-one business consulting and a free membership to the Bread Bakers Guild of America. King Arthur Flour specifies their use of the term “POC” or “people of color‚” explaining that the phrase is “defined as Asian or Pacific Islander; Black or African American; Hispanic or Latinx; Indigenous or Native American; Middle Eastern or North African.” NOT SATIRE!

The competition comes as institutions across the country‚ from multi-billion dollar corporations to Ivy League universities‚ embrace the diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion (DEI) agenda‚ adopting discriminatory practices and policies in the name of anti-racism. “Pitchfest 2024 is a testament to our commitment to fostering a more inclusive baking community and empowering creative POC leaders in the industry‚” King Arthur Baking’s corporate social responsibility manager Molly Lawerence remarked. King Arthur Flour is hosting the competition in cooperation with Project Potluck‚ which refers to itself as “the largest professional community inclusively for People of Color (POC) in Consumer Packaged Goods.” Business Insider praised the organization’s attempts at “lifting up minorities in the overwhelmingly white consumer goods and food industry.” Project Potluck also decries the status of the industry on its website‚ remarking that “founders‚ leaders and professionals are overwhelmingly white” but reassuring that “we are here to change that.” “Baking Pitchfest 2024 is more than a competition; it’s a platform for empowering People of Color to break barriers and redefine the narrative in baking‚” the organization’s executive director Kathleen Casanova stated. King Arthur Baking and the Baking Pitchfest have since been blasted online by customers‚ with one former customer going viral after saying she would no longer be buying flour from the company. King Arthur Baking did not respond to a request for comment.

A Point Pleasant woman describes an incident where her horse was 'burned' by the Mothman. It had landed on the back of the horse in which she was then bucked off. Strange account.I received the following account:“I just wanted to share an incident that I experienced in Point Pleasant‚ West Virginia where I went to high school. I was in a video production class right around the time the movie 'The Mothman Prophecies' with Richard Gere was being made. So we decided to make a documentary.We spoke to a woman in her 70s who‚ during the time of the original sightings back in the 1960s‚ said that she was out riding her horse one day and she said she suddenly felt someone sit down behind her. All of a sudden the horse bucked her off and went crazy. She chased the horse down and then looked at the horse. Burned into the flesh of the horse were the legs of a humanoid. She immediately got in contact with a veterinarian‚ who came to their farm to treat the horse.The veterinarian never asked how the horse got burned as if he had seen this type of burn before. Other than the burn‚ the horse was fine.Later that week‚ she confided to a friend that whatever it was that sat behind her on the horse had very thin‚ insect-like legs. She also said that it had the odor of ammonia. She also said that when she was backed off the horse she caught a glimpse of the being on the horse. She saw huge butterfly-like wings that were yellow in color.She swears up and down that this was the Mothman. Also‚ it turns out that the veterinarian was one of the 46 victims who died during the Silver Bridge collapse on December 15‚ 1967. I just thought that was an interesting story.”MNOTE: Some of the winged humanoid witnesses in the Chicago area mention the odor of ammonia.

Every culture has a hint of folklore that involves fairies‚ elves &; gnomes. For the most part‚ these beings are the same with only the name change. They are described as somewhat friendly creatures common in Native American myth who are seen as protectors and tricksters. However‚ in some cases‚ there may be a dark side associated with the Little People‚ even to the point where they are said to be cannibalistic dwarves.Anyway‚ over the years I have received a variety of personal reports involving these creatures. I'll let you decide if the Little People are benevolent beings‚ or if they have evil intent.If you have questions‚ feel free to post them in the live chat.
