Acceptable Discrimination: Political Affiliation Bias

The bias against those who are not politically affiliated similarily is the last acceptable form of discrimination. It’s now okay and accepted by the masses, to treat other human beings as less than if they disagree with you on politics.

One new study is showing that most are embracing this type of discrimination with extreme fervor. This study shows discriminatory behavior thrives in the one area where it remains socially acceptable to judge people based on shared attributes: political affiliation. Politics remains one of the few personal characteristics not protected by equal opportunity hiring laws, and if this study is any indication, lawmakers will want to get on top of that quickly.

Belief in certain political values is akin to belief in a religion. It’s all based on opinion and discrimination is still discrimination, even if you label it “politics,” We all know the media has been trying to brainwash us with government-approved opinions for years now, and those who don’t accept their brainwashing willingly are being discriminated against.

Shared political ideology outweighs seemingly more important factors like professional qualifications in hiring decisions, researchers from Clemson University and the University of Kansas confirmed in a study published this month in the Journal of Applied Psychology. Unchecked, this kind of discrimination is liable to produce powerful echo chambers, in which groupthink eventually becomes a prerequisite for employment.

Study participants readily picked a job candidate with whom they shared a political affiliation over a more qualified candidate without that affiliation when presented with Facebook profiles containing clear indicators of the prospective hire’s political alignment. These might include statements about leading a campus Democrat or Republican group, or party symbols like the Democratic donkey or GOP elephant. The closer the participant, acting as a recruiter, identified with a party, the higher ratings they gave to candidates who touted their membership in that party – qualifications were nigh on irrelevant.-RT

More Than HALF Of Americans Want The Government To CENSOR Speech

There is real irony in the mainstream media’s role in pushing for this discrimination too. The media environment has actively encouraged this polarization. It gets clicks as it drives destructive wedges into society while at the same time condemning any other form of attribute-based preference as “unthinkable bigotry.” In other words, while discriminating against different opinions, the media calls those opinions “bigotry” and says that those are the discriminating opinions.

Welcome to the U.S.S.A. Where groupthink is our future.

Trump White House SLAMS DEMOCRATS — Won’t Participate in “Highly Partisan” Judiciary Impeachment Hearing on Wednesday

The Trump administration on Sunday notified the House Judiciary Committee that the White House will not participate in the “highly partisan” impeachment hearing on Wednesday.

The White House SLAMMED Democrats for scheduling the meeting knowing the President will be out of the country at that time.

On page 4 the White House also demands Nadler give Republicans their right to call witnesses and to cross-examine witnesses including the witnesses who previously testified.

Here is the letter to Jerry Nadler sent on Sunday evening.

Republican Tom Emmer: Impeachment Will ‘Cost’ Democrats ‘Their’ House ‘Majority’

National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Chairman Tom Emmer (R-MN) said Saturday that the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry “is going to cost them their” House “majority” in the 2020 congressional elections.

As many swing district House Democrats go back to their districts and explain to their constituents their support for the impeachment inquiry, Emmer said that the inquiry will result in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) losing her House majority.

“This process they’re embarking on is going to cost them their majority next fall,” Emmer said.

The NRCC chairman said that Democrats have an “obsession” with impeachment, adding that “it’s just getting worse for them.”

Republican and conservative organizations hope to take back 31 congressional districts that President Donald Trump won in 2016 and that House Democrats flipped during the 2018 midterm cycle.

Many swing district Democrats such as Reps. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ), Max Rose (D-NY), Cindy Axne (D-IA), and Susie Lee (D-NV) have had trouble explaining why they backed impeachment.

Even House Budget Committee chairman John Yarmuth (D-KY) said Wednesday that he does not believe Americans’ support for impeachment will “ever get to 60 percent.” The Kentucky Democrat suggested that continued impeachment hearings may swing public opinion by four or five points.

Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-IL), the chair of the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), disputed Emmer’s claim, noting that Democrats continue to focus on the needs of their constituents.

“When we are not out in Washington, we are home, in our districts and we are listening to people every day, and we are hyper-focused on local issues,” Bustos said.

Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-WA) said that the “smart response [for swing district Democrats] is to keep doing their job, be in the district, meet with constituents, listen to what they’re saying.”

Meanwhile, Democrat pollster John Anzalone said that many Democrats up for reelection in 2020 should focus on the issues that helped them take the House majority in 2018, which includes health care and education.

“I will take any day being able to talk about health care and education and the environment and wages if they’re talking about impeachment,” he contended.

However, despite Anzalone’s call to focus on health care and education, some prominent Democrats have chastised the Democrat majority for failing to make progress on these core issues for the Democrat party.

Willie Brown, the former San Francisco mayor, asked rhetorically in an op-ed in November, “Remember health care, the issue that won so many elections for Democrats in 2018? You might, but they don’t seem to.”

“Come next year, Trump will have an impeachment victory and quite possibly a solid economy,” Brown added. “The Democrats will have — what?”

India In "Very Deep Crisis," Witnessing "Death Of Demand," Warns Former Indian FM

Former Indian Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha said India's economy is in a "very deep crisis," witnessing "death of demand," and the government is "befooling people" with its economic distortions of how growth is around the corner, reported India Today.

"No matter what the powers that be say, the fact is that we are in a very deep crisis," warned Sinha.

India's GDP has been rapidly slowing since peaking in 2016. Official data shows Q3 growth slumped to 4.5%, the lowest since 1Q13.

Sinha was speaking to an audience at the Times Litfest 2019 conference, located at Habitat World Center in Delhi, India, on Sunday.

He warned that President Narendra Modi's government is attempting to deceive everyone about how growth is coming in the next quarter or the quarter after but cautioned there's only a crisis ahead.

"They (the government) are trying to fool the people by saying the next quarter will be better…This type of crisis takes a long time like three to four or even five years (to subside). It cannot be resolved at the drop of a hat or by wielding a magic stick," he said.

He said the economy is experiencing what is called the "death of demand," and the epicenter of it is the agriculture and rural sector.

"There is no demand in the economy, and that is the starting point of the crisis. They (government of the day) are least bothered about what is happening to our farmers, people living in rural areas, now that is where the death of demand started. The demand first dried up in agriculture and rural sector, then it dried up in the informal or unorganized sector, and ultimately it traveled to the corporate sector," he said.

Sinha said he's been warning the government of the crisis that is coming down the pipe.

"In fact, this was something I had done after already warning them (people in the government) personally through letters, personal meetings… it is only when the party's doors were closed on me that I had to start speaking publicly," he added.

Though there's no recession in India at the moment, the warning signs are showing up. Private consumption has plunged, both public and private investments have fallen, exports have dropped in the past quarter, the economy has been decelerating for several years, and there's zero evidence that the economy has bottomed out.

This Explains Their Censorship: Twitter’s “Director of Trust and Safety Council” -Jen Clarke – Is a Trump-Hating, Pussy-Marching Far Left Lunatic

It’s no secret that Twitter censors and shadow-bans conservatives.

The Gateway Pundit has reported on this extensively over the past few years.

We reported in July 2018 that Twitter has long been accused of censoring conservatives. Twitter was indeed censoring and shadowbanning the President of the United States, Donald Trump’s twitter account, @realDonaldTrump.

Twitter is still at it!

In July 2018 we reported that a study by the leftist website VICE News found that Twitter is censoring top pro-Trump lawmakers. Twitter is targeting pro-Trump Republican lawmakers Matt Gaetz, Devin Nunes, Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan and John Ratcliffe with the same shadowbanning technique.

Twitter is also censoring prominent pro-Trump accounts including: Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec, Paul Joseph Watson, TGP’s Jim Hoft, TGP’s Cassandra Fairbanks and others.

In November we were notified by numerous readers that Twitter is once again censoring The Gateway Pundit page during the Schiff show trials.

If you type in Gateway Pundit our website is censored.

Is the the start of pedo disclosure in Australian parliament????

Nationals MP blocks release of information over AFP travel probe

Jetsetting Nationals MP George Christensen has blocked the release of information about a federal police probe into his frequent travels to the Philippines during a four-year period.

The Queensland MP has used his right to deny the release of key documents relating to the year-long police "assessment" of his pattern of travels in southeast Asia.

About 57 folios of information containing who referred him to police and when, and also why the assessment ended, were set to be released at least in part by the Australian Federal Police.

But an investigation by Nine News, The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald has been stymied because "a third party has objected to the disclosure of those documents".

Mr Christensen, who was re-elected in May with an 11.2 per cent swing towards him despite the controversy, has always labelled scrutiny, questions and concerns over his travel as a "vile smear".

He was dubbed the "Member for Manila" by colleagues after it emerged earlier this year he had taken 28 trips, spending almost 300 days in the Philippines between 2014 and 2018.

Federal police looked into his travel for more than a year including visits to areas known for their active nightlife and bar districts.

For five months Nine News, The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald has been trying to access police records, and a letter sent by the AFP to Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton in mid-2018 under Freedom of Information laws.

Sources familiar with the contents of the letter have said it stated the "assessment" of Mr Christensen's travel had finished.

Schiff’s Story Collapses!!! Solomon: Ukraine Reopened Burisma/Biden Investigation Five Months Before Trump-Zelensky Phone Call

While House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) has been busy constructing another, in my view, false impeachment narrative around a phone call between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, Solomon has been developing sources and facts.

According to a Fox News report on Solomon’s discovery, “a newly unearthed document shows that Ukrainian officials had opened a new probe into the firm linked to Hunter Biden months before President Trump’s phone call with that country’s leader.”

Solomon: “The U.S. government had open-source intelligence and was aware as early as February of 2019 that the Ukrainian government was planning to reopen the Burisma investigation. This is long before the president ever imagined having a call with President Zelensky.”

If that’s true, it is open-source intelligence afterall, Volodymyr Zelensky wasn’t yet elected President of Ukraine when the decision to reopen the Burisma/Biden investigation was made.

Zelensky wasn’t sworn in as president until May 20th.

“This is a significant shift in the factual timeline” which likely explains why it was omitted from the whistleblower’s complaint, that is central to Adam Schiff’s impeachment push.

WHAT A CORRUPT HOAX!
