Is the Gender Pay Gap Really an Earnings Gap?

A little late to the discussion, but April 2 was Equal Pay Day. The general theme is equal pay for equal work, which no one disagrees with.

This shortfall allegedly creates a gender pay gap or wage gap. read more

Netanyahu Wins, Deep State and Globalists Lose

Benjamin Netanyahu has won reelection as prime minister of Israel, putting him on course to be the country’s longest-serving chief executive in the Jewish state’s history. The Netanyahu right-wing coalition gives the incumbent leader a majority in Israel’s multi-party parliament, the Knesset, which is necessary to form a government. Under a parliamentary system, the “government” is essentially equivalent to our executive branch, with key member of parliament simultaneously serving in the leader’s cabinet. Although it won the same number of seats as Netanyahu’s Likud Party, the opposition “centrist” Blue and White coalition has formally conceded. Israel is the only functioning, multi-ethnic democracy in the Middle East. read more

Smollett Case Puts Chicago Prosecutor Kim Foxx Under Scrutiny

The Soros-funded, Obama-connected prosecutor who controversially dropped all felony charges against actor Jussie Smollett has rebuffed calls for her to step down. On Saturday, she (and several supporters) also played the race card against the the Chicago police union that is demanding that Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx resign from office. Thirty suburban Cook County police chiefs have similarly released an open letter that indicated no confidence in her stewardship of the Chicago-land jurisdiction. read more

Human Rights Lawyer Gets Six Months in Jail for Airborne Abuse

A self-described “international criminal lawyer for the Palestinian people” who spewed F bombs and racially charged insults during a rant on an Air India flight is heading to jail. Simone Burns, a.k.a., Simone O’Broin, pleaded guilty in March to assault and being drunk on an aircraft. On Thursday, a London court sentenced her to six months behind bars. Reportedly, the source of the November 2018 dispute is that flight attendants declined to serve her a fourth bottle of wine on the Mumbai to London morning flight.  Cops arrested Burns when the plane landed at Heathrow airport. read more
