By Gary Costanza:I love it. Google has really stepped in it this time, and they own the shit they’ve stepped in. Google, welcome to the social justice BS you push on others. The fake “gender pay gap” is now a concern of the government and Google is now the testing ground for that feminist myth vs. constitutional freedom. The US Dept. of Labor is investigating Google for gender wage discrimination and is seeking salary data to back up its claims. From an article in The Guardian, here’s a quote from the US DoL: “’We found systemic compensation disparities against women pretty much across the entire workforce,’ Janette Wipper, a DoL regional director, testified in court in San Francisco on Friday. Reached for comment Friday afternoon, Janet Herold, regional solicitor for the DoL, said: ‘The investigation is not complete, but at this point the department has received compelling evidence of very significant discrimination against women in the most common positions at Google headquarters.’ Herold added: ‘The government’s analysis at this point indicates that discrimination against women in Google is quite extreme, even in this industry.’
Max and Stacy discuss some really horrible advice for Generation X about their impossible retirement as they try to repay their student loans designed to fail.

Gilad Atzmon: The following article was posted on The Time Of Israel's website yesterday morning. It was then removed by the Zionist outlet. This is the first time I publish an article by Michael Lesher who is an orthodox Jew as well as a courageous whistleblower. In this article Lesher looks into the militarism, racism and Zionification that have become dominant within contemporary Jewish orthodoxy. Please read and spread widely. Michael Lesher will join our panel discussion at Theatre 80 NYC on 30 April https://theatre80.wordpress.com/the-post-political-condition-trump-brexit-the-middle-east-what-next/

'The Rebbe didn’t just tolerate Israeli oppression. He encouraged it.'
By Michael Lesher:April 18 would have been the 115th birthday of Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the late Lubavitcher Rebbe. Schneerson, who took over a struggling Brooklyn-based Hasidic sect in 1951, was by his death in 1994 arguably “the most influential Jew since Maimonides,” and it is about that influence I wish to write -- particularly because, in the 20-odd years since his death, recollections of the Rebbe’s personal charisma have largely eclipsed the record of his actual teaching.
By Philip Giraldi: The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) concluded its annual conference late last month, triggering the usual debate in various alternative media outlets. Why does so much U.S. taxpayer money go to a small and not particularly useful client state that has a vibrant European-level economy and is already a regional military colossus? Those who support the cash flow argue that Israel is threatened, most notably by Iran; they claim the assistance, which has been largely but not completely used to buy American-made weapons, is required to maintain a qualitative edge over the country’s potential enemies. Those who oppose the aid would counter that the Iranian threat is largely an Israeli and Saudi Arabian invention, used to justify continued American support for the national-security policies of both countries. And they would add that Tel Aviv is more than able to defend itself and pay for its own military establishment.
Raging Golden Eagle: What, you didn't think you would be immune to these investigations just because you are a champion of social justice did you? I hope you enjoy reaping what you have sown!
Farrakhan said. "We previously shared and recounted America’s misadventures and interventions in the affairs of other nations seeking to murder or overthrow the leaders of those countries, and replace them with leaders who were willing to do America’s bidding. … Based on America’s history of “false flag” operations, great doubt exists as to the truth of whether the Syrian government is in fact responsible for the use of chemical weapons. Or, is America responsible through the use of her proxies (“nations that America uses as an agent; as an authority to act on her behalf”)?
By Tyler Durden: With the world still abuzz over the first ever deployment of the GBU-43/B "Mother Of All Bombs" in Afghanistan, where it reportedly killed some 36 ISIS fighters, in a less noticed statement the US National Nuclear Security Administration quietly announced overnight the first successful field test of the modernized, "steerable" B61-12 gravity thermonuclear bomb in Nevada. In a well-timed statement, just as tensions over North Korea's nuclear program and potential US airstrikes run wild, the NNSA said that in conjunction with the US Air Force, it had completed the first qualification flight test of B61-12 gravity nuclear bomb on March 14 at the Tonopah Test Range in Nevada.
