Mark Meadows Walks Out After CNN Demands He Wear Mask

These people are more than sick, they are evil

A CNN reporter on Capitol Hill Monday demanded that White House chief of staff Mark Meadows put on a mask while answering questions about the Supreme Court confirmation hearing.

Meadows began by pulling back the microphone stand to satisfy reporters and distancing himself ten feet from the reporters who were asking questions on Capitol Hill.

CNN’s Kristin Wilson protested when he reached up to remove his mask before speaking:

“Yep. Pull away!” one reporter shouted.

As Meadows began to remove his mask to speak to the cameras, a reporter shouted, “No, no, no!”

“Well, I’m more than ten feet away,” Meadows said.

As reporters continued protesting, Meadows put on his mask and walked away from the microphones.

“I’m not going to talk through a mask,” he said.

After the exchange, reporters praised Wilson for her clash with Meadows.

“All hail Queen @kristin__wilson, who insisted that Mark Meadows keep his mask on if he wanted to talk to reporters,” Washington Post reporter Seung Min Kim wrote on Twitter:

Mexican President Asks Pope Francis to Apologize for Spanish Conquest of Mexico

I’m really starting to like this guy

ROME — Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has written to Pope Francis asking him to offer an apology to the Mexican people for the atrocities committed during the Spanish Conquest in 1521.

López Obrador sent a letter to the pontiff that was delivered in the Vatican this weekend personally by his wife Beatriz Gutierrez Müller.

“I would like to insist,” says López Obrador in his letter, “that the Catholic Church, the Spanish monarchy, and the Mexican state should offer a public apology to the native peoples who suffered the most opprobrious atrocities including the sacking of their property and lands, subjugating them since the 1521 conquest until the recent past.”

“They deserve not only that generous attitude on our part but also the sincere commitment that never, ever, acts disrespectful to their beliefs and cultures will be committed, and much less that they be judged or marginalized for economic motives or racism,” he adds.

In March 2019, Mr. López Obrador sent a similar letter to King Felipe VI of Spain and Pope Francis with the same request, but the Spanish government rejected the request “with all firmness.”

At that time, López Obrador posted a video on Facebook noting he had sent a letter to the king of Spain and another to the pope “calling for a full account of the abuses and urging them to apologize to the indigenous peoples for the violations of what we now call their human rights.”

In its reply to the appeal, the Spanish government underscored the danger of trying to anachronistically apply today’s standards to historic events.

“The arrival, 500 years ago, of the Spanish to the current Mexican lands cannot be judged in light of contemporary considerations,” the government said in a statement.

The Mexican president launched this call in the framework of the commemoration in 2021 of the 500th anniversary of the 1521 European conquest and the 200th anniversary of Mexican independence in 1821.

Silicon Valley Cuts Salaries for Remote Workers, Fueling Tensions

I bet you any amount of money that this action will bring out a lot of whistleblowers on what social media is really doing. The ironic thing is these companies are saving billions on commercial real estate and they cut salaries

Many employees at Silicon Valley tech companies have recently moved to cheaper locales to work remotely amidst the coronavirus pandemic. Big Tech has responded by slashing salaries using “cost-of-living” reductions, increasing tensions between the Masters of the Universe and their highly-touted employees. One tech CEO in the midwest called Silicon Valley’s salary cuts “hypocritical.”

The Wall Street Journal reports that tech workers leaving the San Francisco Bay Area to work remotely amidst the global pandemic have found themselves facing unexpected pay cuts. As many tech firms move to entirely remote working situations, employees are finding it less desirable to live in the high-cost San Francisco area, but moving further afield is resulting in some employees’ salaries cut by as much as 15 percent.

Tech firms are highlighting the fact that changing pay based on the local cost of living is common practice for many companies, but Silicon Valley firms have spent years going beyond standard salary practices in order to attract the best talent in the world.

Jason Fried, the chief executive of Basecamp, a Chicago-based maker of workplace software that has a remote workforce commented on the situation stating: “If anyone should be standing up for high pay, equal pay and great talent, it should be these companies—I find it to be pretty hypocritical.” Fried added that tech firms are so profitable that they could easily afford to maintain employee salaries. “You’re hiring a person and the skills they bring,” he said.

Tech giant Facebook announced in May that it would be moving towards a substantially remote workforce and that location would affect compensation. Twitter also stated that it would allow employees to work remotely permanently but has a “competitive approach” to pay localization. Microsoft has since announced plans to allow employees to work from home on a permanent basis.

Now as remote working becomes more common, some hiring consultants are recommending that employees resist taking salary reductions due to their living locations.
