A well-known Omaha builder is accused of pressuring employees into unusual behavior at work. Former workers at Hearthstone Homes come forward after a federal lawsuit exposes complaints about the company and it's CEO.

A picture of a woman hugging her two small children, a smile replacing what Jammie Harms describes as a terribly troubling and humiliating time while pregnant with her son. Harms filed a lawsuit accusing her former boss of calling her unborn child hostile, suggesting it had a negative agenda.  ... In her lawsuit, Harms insists she too was forced to attend MBE sessions to clear her negative energy. She resisted and eventually was let go, she was five months pregnant. Neil Smith responds, "I don't know of any specific conversations where she was forced to do anything so that would surprise me if she was."

I ask Risley, "When you hear that a former employee has filed suit saying that John Smith said her fetus was hostile, what's your reaction to that?" He responds, "When we base buying land by the amount of land fairies that are on the land, nothing surprises me." If you didn't catch that, he said land fairies. Risley claims that's one way Smith decided to buy land for a future subdivision. Other decisions were based on muscle testing. Former employees show me what muscle testing is. They say Smith would ask a question and if your fingers could be pulled apart, the muscle was weak and the answer no. If your fingers stayed together, it was strong or yes. "We would base hiring and firing people on muscle testing," says Risley. ...

Is this evidence that a DUmmie owns their own business?  I can't think of anyone else that would call an unborn child hostile.

Even Nebraska has its share of nuts, though Frank would probably argue about the proportion vs. the rest of the country.

Aw man, I didn't even think of consulting the land fairies when I bought my house.

I had to stop reading at land fairies.  This guy is a nut job.  Who buys a house from someone like that?  Who built the house?  The dwarfs?

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
