Witzke hit!

> Wells Fargo, one of the largest retail banks in the United
States, has shut down the bank account of Lauren Witzke, who ran
as the Republican party candidate for U.S. Senate in the state
of Delaware last year.

This will merely slow her down, though. Ultimately there is only
one way to stop her permanently:

About Witzke:
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauren_Witzke_(politician)
--- Quote ---
> Witzke is open about her far-right politics and has
recommended that people read Pat Buchanan’s 2001 book The Death
of the West to understand her political philosophy. In the book,
Buchanan argues that, due to high rates of immigration, the
United States has a "nation within a nation". Witzke has
appeared on VDARE, a website linked to white supremacy and
anti-immigration
> ...
> In October 2020, Witzke defended the far-right organization
the Proud Boys and said at one point that the Proud Boys
exemplified "patriotic masculinity"
> ...
> Witzke has supported a complete ban on all immigration to the
United States for ten years.[16][13]

> An edited compilation of several videos that was posted on
TikTok last week appears to show the singer mouthing an Asian
racial slur used in Tyler the Creator’s 2011 song “Fish” and
imitating various accents. As the video spread on social media,
Eilish’s fans have been commenting on her accounts, asking her
to make a statement.

Chinese descent? And her mocking of Asian people's accent sounds
very much like to me that she was mocking people speaking
Cantonese," posted a netizen on Sina Weibo.

Back to first link:

> “I am appalled and embarrassed and want to barf that I ever
mouthed along to that word. This song was the only time I’d ever
heard that word as it was never used around me by anyone in my
family. Regardless of my ignorance and age at the time, nothing
excuses the fact is that it was hurtful. And for that I am
sorry.”

Cut out your tongue, swallow it and barf it back out and we
might believe you are sorry.
Until then, back to second link:
--- Quote ---
> Some angry Chinese netizens proposed that Eilish be added to
the list of "stigma celebrities" in China, saying that such
stars deserve to be banned in the country and boycotted by
Chinese music fans so they lose out on the market. Other
well-known figure on the "stigma" list is Stefano Gabbana, the
designer of the international brand D&G, which seems to have
lost the hearts of Chinese consumers' due to a previous racist
advertisement.

What took Twitter so long?

--- Quote ---
> Nick Fuentes, the 22-year-old leader of a white nationalist
group who was embraced by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), was
suspended by Twitter on Friday, one of the last platforms that
had yet to banish the far-right rising star.
--- End Quote ---
Which is not to say this will stop Fuentes. In his own words:
--- Quote ---
> Fuentes suggested killing legislators who refused to vote to
overturn the 2020 election, before walking the idea back. “What
can you and I do to a state legislator — besides kill them?” he
said on his livestream. “We should not do that. I'm not advising
that, but I mean, what else can you do, right?”
--- End Quote ---
This applies to no less to Fuentes himself. So long as he
remains alive, he remains a threat.

Mirtavoosi, the hotel's general manager, told the Orange County
Register. Instead, they were hosting one of Gaetz and Greene's
"America First" rallies, according to the report.

canceled it," Mirtavoosi told the outlet. The manager declined
to tell the outlet whether political differences were

In reality, Karmiris' own eyes are narrower than those of the

Since passengers are allowed to take their masks off during
"designated mealtimes" (i.e. when they are paying Delta for
food) I don't think Delta really cares about public safety, and
that this is merely a PR move on their part. This shows that
Orthodox Jews aren't the only problem...

If you don't like Delta's mask policy, you can also not give
your custom to them! That's the whole point!
