Google Fires 28 Employees Involved in Sit-in Protest Over $1.2B Israel Contract

/0 Comments/in , /by

Google has fired 28 employees over their participation in a 10-hour sit-in at the search giant’s offices in New York and Sunnyvale, California, to protest the company’s business ties with the Israel government, The Post has learned.

The pro-Palestinian staffers — who had donned traditional Arab headscarves as they stormed and occupied the office of a top executive in California on Tuesday — were terminated late Wednesday after an internal investigation, Google vice president of global security Chris Rackow said in a companywide memo.

“They took over office spaces, defaced our property, and physically impeded the work of other Googlers,” Rackow wrote in the memo obtained by The Post. “Their behavior was unacceptable, extremely disruptive, and made co-workers feel threatened.”

In New York, protesters had occupied the 10th floor of Google’s offices in the Chelsea section of Manhattan as part of a protest that also extended to the company’s offices in Seattle for what it called “No Tech for Genocide Day of Action.”

“Behavior like this has no place in our workplace and we will not tolerate it,” Rackow wrote. “It clearly violates multiple policies that all employees must adhere to – including our code of conduct and policy on harassment, discrimination, retaliation, standards of conduct, and workplace concerns.” (Read more from “Google Fires 28 Employees Involved in Sit-in Protest Over $1.2B Israel Contract” HERE)

A deeper look into a California school may explain why Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s daughter, Seraphina, used her grandfather’s funeral to announce that she will now identify as a man.

Seraphina isn’t the first famous teenager to suffer from sudden gender dysphoria. Affleck’s stepdaughter, Emme Maribel Muñiz, claims to be non-binary, and one of Elon Musk’s sons calls himself a woman. All three of these children reportedly attend the same school, Crossroads School for Arts and Sciences, in Santa Monica, California.

The Kindergarten – 12th-grade school, which has been open for over 50 years, says it strives “to prepare students to think critically, express themselves openly, and commit themselves to lives that value community, justice, and activism.” If you know anything about how to spot a progressive left indoctrination camp parading as a school, the words community, justice, and activism should have raised alarm bells. . .

“Social justice is woven throughout every student’s experience at Crossroads, informing the lens through which they see the world. The K-12 curriculum provides students with a progressively nuanced exploration of historical and current-day inequities: locally, nationally and internationally. Through class projects; community service; clubs and organizations; student-led activism; and the Crossroads School Equity & Justice Institute, students learn about critical social justice issues, raise awareness among their peers and take action to affect meaningful change,” the website states.

An 8-year-old California boy was nearly kidnapped in front of his parents on the day the family was celebrating opening their new business, frightening video showed.

Democrat Claims Her Election Was Rigged

/2 Comments/in , /by

Katie Porter, a Democratic candidate who ran in California’s 2024 Senate race, claimed Wednesday on Twitter that the primary was rigged after placing 3rd.

“Thank you to everyone who supported our campaign and voted to shake up the status quo in Washington. Because of you, we had the establishment running scared — withstanding 3 to 1 in TV spending and an onslaught of billionaires spending millions to rig this election,” Porter wrote in part. . .

Porter’s comments were challenged by community notes arguing that rigging implied “illegal manipulation of electoral outcomes” and that simply being outspent did not fall under this category. (Read more from “Democrat Claims Her Election Was Rigged” HERE)

Panera Bread Exempt From California’s $20 Minimum Wage Law After Owner Donated to Gov. Newsom: Report

/1 Comment/in , /by

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law that exempts Panera Bread from a new $20-an-hour minimum wage hike for fast food chains after the billionaire owner of several of the chain’s locations donated to his campaign, according to a report.

In September, Newsom, a Democrat, signed into law a measure that raises the minimum wage of food fast workers from $16 an hour to $20 an hour.

But the Fast Food Accountability and Standards Recovery Act (FAST Act) includes an unusual carve-out that exempts “chains that bake bread and sell it as a standalone item,” according to Bloomberg News.

Newsom reportedly sought the exemption, which benefits among others Greg Flynn, the billionaire CEO of Flynn Restaurant Group, the company that owns some two dozen Panera Bread locations in the state.

Flynn, who attended the same high school as Newsom, has been involved in business dealings with the California governor, according to Bloomberg News. (Read more from “Panera Bread Exempt From California’s $20 Minimum Wage Law After Owner Donated to Gov. Newsom: Report” HERE)

School Cancels Contract With ‘Woke Kindergarten’ After Backlash

/1 Comment/in , /by

A school in California will no longer be using the services of a program called “Woke Kindergarten” following national backlash, a spokesperson for Hayward Unified School District (HUSD) told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Glassbrook Elementary School spent $250,000 in federal funds designated for failing schools to pay for the service, which provides teachers with social justice-based training. HUSD canceled the contract on Monday and officials claimed that the controversy was “distracting the district,” Michael Bazeley, HUSD spokesperson, told the DCNF.

“The controversy over this program—including the widespread media attention, the mischaracterization of the Woke Kindergarten work, social media posts by the vendor, and the public response—is all distracting the district from doing the important work of supporting our students. We concluded that now was an appropriate time to terminate the contract,” Bazeley told the DCNF.

The “Woke Kindergarten” website provides “woke read alouds” in which the creator of the program, Akiea Gross, reads books about the importance “for all of us to affirm people’s identities.” Another section of the website is called “woke word of the day,” which introduces children to “liberatory vocabulary” such as “anti-racist,” “ceasefire,” and “abolish.”

Chinese-Born Engineer Arrested for Theft Involving Missile Sensor Technology

/2 Comments/in , /by

FBI agents in California arrested a suspected technology spy for China this week, charging him with stealing some 3,600 files from a defense contractor that includes sensitive information on advanced sensors used to detect missile launches.

Gong Chenguang, 57, of San Jose, was charged by federal prosecutors in Los Angeles with being part of China’s “talents” program, a systematic Beijing effort to obtain U.S. technology by recruiting American-based scientists and technical experts with access to advanced know-how.

An FBI affidavit used to seek an arrest warrant identifies Mr. Gong as a naturalized citizen employed by a Malibu defense contractor in January 2023.

The technology involved is worth “hundreds of millions of dollars” and, if provided to a foreign government, would “compromise U.S. national security,” the affidavit states. A spokeswoman identified the company as HRL Laboratories.

According to the affidavit, the company “develops sophisticated infrared sensor technology intended for use in various space-based and military missions, including in systems designed to detect nuclear missile launches and track ballistic and hypersonic missiles.” (Read more from “Chinese-Born Engineer Arrested for Theft Involving Missile Sensor Technology” HERE)

No Jail Time for Woman Who Killed Her Boyfriend After She Blames Weed

/1 Comment/in , /by

A California judge on Tuesday sentenced a woman to no prison time, only 100 hours of community service and probation, after she was convicted of killing her boyfriend by stabbing him 108 times.

Bryn Spejcher killed Chad O’Melia with a kitchen knife in May 2018. She also killed her dog, and was screaming and stabbing herself when police apprehended her.

The lawyer for the now 32-year old audiologist claimed she entered a “cannabis-induced psychosis” after smoking marijuana. He said she did not have a history of using the drug, but that she did so after feeling pressured by the 26-year old accountant to smoke out of his bong.

Ventura County prosecutors originally charged Spejcher with second-degree murder, but downgraded the charge to involuntary manslaughter after medical experts gave credence to the idea of a psychotic break triggered by the drug. . .

Ventura County Senior Deputy District Attorney Audry Nafziger, who tried the case, told The Daily Wire, “The sentence is a terrible miscarriage of justice. I can only hope it is not repeated by other judges. Because involuntary manslaughter and the use of a deadly weapon in California permits judicial discretion… the court was able to set her free with no jail. It is an unheard of sentence in my jurisdiction.” (Read more from “No Jail Time for Woman Who Killed Her Boyfriend After She Blames Weed” HERE)

WATCH: Eight Hospitalized, Beaches Closed as Hellish Waves Pound California Coastline

/17 Comments/in , /by

At least eight people were injured Thursday after a “rogue” wave crashed into the California coastline.

A series of videos shared on social media showed the moment a series of waves, one of which was particularly massive, swamped the shorelines of California just days after Christmas. At least eight people were hospitalized after one wave overwhelmed the promenade in Ventura, footage of which was shared by the Ventura County Fire Department.

A rogue wave is a large, unexpected, and dangerous type of swell, sometimes called “killer” or “monster waves,” according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The wave in Ventura, seen below from a different angle, led to beach closures throughout the area due to the destruction it caused.

California Retailers Must Have a Gender-Neutral Toys Section or Risk Being Fined

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Under Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D-CA.) new bill, retailers in the state must create gender-neutral toy sections for children or risk being fined hundreds of dollars.

According to a law signed by Newsom in 2021, California-based department stores with 500 or more employees selling “childcare items or toys” must have a gender-neutral section “regardless of whether they have been traditionally marketed for either girls or boys.”

If retailers defy the law, they will get slapped with a $500 fine.

“Childcare items” include anything designed to help children under the age of 12 sleep, eat, relax, or to help them with sucking or teething.

The state’s Democratic Congressman Evan Low supported the legislation, telling the Associated Press, “We need to stop stigmatizing what’s acceptable for certain genders and just let kids be kids.” (Read more from “California Retailers Must Have a Gender-Neutral Toys Section or Risk Being Fined” HERE)
