Nike investigated for alleged discrimination against White workers

The federal agency that fights workplace bias is investigating Nike over its treatment of White employees, making good on the Trump administration pledge to crack down on diversity, equity and inclusion policies and make shielding White men from discrimination a priority.

The investigation is one of the first announced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which put out a call seeking discrimination complaints from White men in December.

The EEOC said Wednesday, Feb. 4 it filed an action in federal court in Missouri to compel Nike to produce information related to allegations that the company discriminated against White workers as part of its DEI program and the targets it set to increase the number of underrepresented workers in its ranks and leadership.

I ceased using Nike back when they fellated Kaepernick. Hoka (except for "responsive" cushioning models) and New Balance "Fresh Foam" series are my preferences.

Four defendants, including 2 Venezuelans, allegedly used 115 stolen identities in massive food stamp fraud

Four people, including two Venezuelan citizens, used 115 stolen identities in a $1 million food stamps and pandemic unemployment fraud scheme, the Justice Department said Tuesday.

Federal prosecutors said the suspects stole the identities from people all across the country, including six children, to obtain supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP) benefits in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and pandemic unemployment benefits from Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Washington and Nevada.

The defendants were identified as Joel Vicioso Fernandez, 42, and Raul Fernandez Vicioso, 37, both of Fitchburg, Massachusetts; and Roman Vequiz Fernandez, 32, and Coralba Albarracin Siniva, 24, both Venezuelan nationals living in Leominster, Massachusetts.
...
The suspects also provided images of counterfeit passports and passport cards, with metadata that indicated the images were taken inside or within the immediate vicinity of El Primo Restaurant — a restaurant operated by Raul Fernandez Vicioso in Leominster, Massachusetts, federal prosecutors said.

The SNAP benefits were used to make bulk purchases of food items, including multiple-pound packages of chicken, beef and pork, at various local wholesalers and food markets to stock El Primo Restaurant, authorities said.

It's almost as if social programs are about spreading $$$$ rather than helping people with actual needs.

The DUmpster / VIDEO: Creepy CBS Reporter Calls President Trump a LIAR

The Democrats and their media mouthpieces are in such a state of PANIC over the FBI seizing 700 boxes of Fulton County ballots to be used as possible evidence of 2020 election fraud that creepy CBS reporter and self-described PTSD survivor Scott MacFarlane dropped his guard as well as any hint of professionalism and angrily called President Trump a LIAR as you can see in this video.

How long will CBS continue to employ a supposed reporter who demonstrates such a pathetic lack of professionalism due to overbearing bias?

LA officials want nothing to do with 2028 Olympics chair after Epstein link

Multiple Los Angeles officials have called on 2028 LA Olympics committee chair Casey Wasserman to resign after his flirtatious emails with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell became public.

Wasserman, 51, is the founder of a global sports marketing and talent agency that rapidly expanded thanks to a flurry of key competitor acquisitions. He’s also been a key figure in LA’s plans for the 2028 Olympics, both from the initial attempts to bring the sporting event to the city and as chairman of the committee once the games were officially coming to Southern California.

But Wasserman was back in the news this week for an entirely different reason. The U.S. Department of Justice released a new batch of Jeffrey Epstein files that not only included personal communications from the convicted sex offender but also included communication between Wasserman and Maxwell. The two went back and forth with racy emails, in which Epstein’s former girlfriend wrote about giving Wasserman a massage and he asked her, “So what do I have to do to see you in a tight leather outfit?”

Maxwell is in the Ewwwww--Butter-Face range, IMO.

     Why does an adult (and ostensibly a senior adult at this point) need to be informed of a protest by a fatassed near-dead loser who couldn't go to one without a walker and several pairs of adult diapers? Sounds like his sister is a retard, and it also sounds like these protests that DU claims are sweeping the nation are actually so obscure that someone literally needs a map to find one.

     Fail.
High Five!
