Without permission, two Microsoft employees held a vigil for “victims of the Palestinian genocide” at the company’s headquarters in Washington state last Thursday. Later that same day, both of the event’s organizers were fired. “Due to privacy and confidentiality considerations, we cannot provide specific details,” Microsoft shared in a statement the following day. It did clarify that it “ended the employment of some individuals”—Abdo Mohamed and Hossam Nasr—“in accordance with internal policy,” and that it remains “dedicated to maintaining a professional and respectful work environment.” According to The Jerusalem Post, Mohamed and Nasr “were part of a coalition of Microsoft employees who called themselves ‘No Azure for Apartheid,’ in alleged protest against the sale of the Microsoft cloud-computing technology to Israel’s government.” The former Microsoft employees told The Associated Press that Microsoft has “many community members … who have lost family, friends or loved ones.” Mohamed felt that “Microsoft really failed to have the space for us where we can come together and share our grief and honor the memories of people who can no longer speak for themselves.” However, some outlets have highlighted the fact that of the two, “Nasr was previously subject to internal investigations by Microsoft on more than one occasion, including for posting antisemitic memes online, according to his social media.” He was also exposed for calling Microsoft “an evil Zionist corporation facilitating and empowering a genocide” in a post on Instagram. “Nasr cofounded Harvard Alumni for Palestine,” The Post Millennial reported, “and was copresident of the university’s Palestine Solidarity Committee, an alternative name for Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), which is linked to terrorism and the antisemitic Boycott, Divest, Sanction movement against the Jewish state.” Mohammad, the outlet added, shared on LinkedIn that “he needs to find new employment in the next 60 days or face deportation.” Ever since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, there have been numerous and consistent protests across the globe. Within the last year, largely due to left-wing activism, cases of antisemitism have “surged by 200% when compared to the same period the year before.” Several universities faced anti-Israel protests that caused chaos on campuses. In many instances, Jewish students were blocked from getting to class as Hamas supporters set up encampments and barriers. In July, antisemitic activists took to Union Station in Washington, D.C., tearing down and burning American flags and assaulting police officers. Many of these protests went largely without consequence. It now appears that an increasing number of universities and companies are choosing to clamp down on destructive and disruptive behavior. Microsoft’s decision to fire Mohamed and Nasr is not a unique occurrence. In April, Google fired up to 50 employees in connection with the actions of the “No Tech for Apartheid” group that protested against “the company’s cloud-computing contract with the Israeli government.” Earlier this month, the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) group at Brown University was suspended due to “alleged threats and intimidating actions during a campus event” such as “banging on cars, screaming obscene language, and making racial comments toward others.” The Daily Caller explained how “the demonstrators were protesting the university’s decision to not divest from 10 companies linked to Israel, following an Oct. 9 divestment vote.” Asked whether companies at large are starting to adopt stricter rules around protests, Chris Gacek, senior fellow for regulatory affairs at the Family Research Council, replied, “Every company has its own culture.” “It strikes me that there may be sort of a recognition that, in order to run a company like Microsoft,” there has to be “some sort of free range of ideas and expression,” he told The Washington Stand, adding, “You can’t really have this kind of thing going on,” where employees are putting their opinions front and center without company approval. Additionally, Gacek addressed the likelihood that some companies, such as Microsoft, may at least recognize that “Oct. 7 was a big deal.” It can be “a daunting recognition,” he emphasized, and it’s to the benefit of organizations to be sensitive to how they react to it. However, Gacek ultimately came to the conclusion that what’s unfolding may be something “we just have to let play out.” Only Microsoft can give its exact reasons for why it fired Mohammed and Nasr, and it has chosen not to do so. “We’re not in the company,” Gacek noted. “It’s one thing to sort of read it from a story from the outside,” but from the inside, many of these organizations that are starting to shut down protests could simply be in “a position [where] they’re just sick of it” and “don’t want to turn their company into … [an] environment that’s politicized and nasty.” Microsoft and others are reacting to “a lot of things in the culture” right now, Gacek added. “Reasonable people [can see] the coercive nature of the treatment of Israel.” “Maybe the tide is turning,” he speculated.

Few things in life are more exhausting than racial identity politics. (And that comes from a writer who is decidedly not white.) Not only does identity politics foster a perpetual victimhood mentality, it also promotes division and hatred. It doesn't try to uplift all people, but rather drags everyone down...

The Donald Trump interview on The Joe Rogan Experience is quickly on pace to become the most viewed episode of all time. So what does Google (which owns YouTube) do? Censor it, of course! Watch this to see just how bad it is: YouTube is censoring the Joe Rogan interview with Trump by not showing the video (with over 33m views) when you search for it, and people have noticed. WTF. pic.twitter.com/W75hey06vK — Marcelo P. Lima (@MarceloPLima) October 28, 2024 Joe Rogan initially said there was no issue and he just set the episode to unlisted: There is no issue with YouTube censoring the trump episode. It was just supposed to go live on both Spotify and YouTube at the same time and there was a glitch in Spotify’s upload system and so we delisted the YouTube link until it’s fixed. It should be fine now — Joe Rogan (@joerogan) October 26, 2024 But then three days later he acknowledged no one can find it and posted this: Since there’s an issue with searching for this episode on YouTube here is the full podcast with Trump pic.twitter.com/sl2GTUaWdE — Joe Rogan (@joerogan) October 29, 2024 Now we flash forward to today and JD Vance is on the show! NOTE: Kamala still has not and likely will not do the show, but that’s not a surprise.  She CAN’T do it!  It would literally end her campaign. But Trump and Vance are the adults in the room and they’ve both not only done the show but had a great time doing it. Already though, I’m getting emails from people asking me to post a link to the interview because this one can’t be found either! So don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! Let me first show you some of my favorite clips and then I’ll post the whole interview down below. Let’s start with this clip of both guys roasting Kamala’s word salads: Joe Rogan and JD Vance dunking on Kamala’s meaningless word salads is HILARIOUS! No wonder Kamala was scared to go on. He wasn’t going to let her filibuster with her nonsense. pic.twitter.com/waJ16hUfUN — Bad Hombre (@joma_gc) October 31, 2024 You gotta love these two just tearing it up and having a blast…. This was such a great chat by two hilarious guys just shooting the breeze. Then they discussed the Puerto Rico issue: Vance and Rogan discuss how the mainstream media covered the Puerto Rican joke 30-100 times on each station Yet the current sitting president calls half of America ‘garbage’ and the mainstream media barely discussed it. pic.twitter.com/oY6mcRnRr4 — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) October 31, 2024 This one was especially interesting about men (like Mark Zuckerberg?) who have “Low T”: NEW: JD Vance & Joe Rogan explain how men who are healthier and have higher testosterone levels tend to be conservative. The men also suspected that META CEO Mark Zuckerberg is now a Trump supporter. Rogan: “There are very few things that will turn you into a conservative more… pic.twitter.com/0uj31CnhvW — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) October 31, 2024 And my favorite clip of all right here: ROGAN: “When my 14 year old was 2 we were on a skiing trip and we forgot her helmet and my daughter looks at the helmet and says: ‘Shit.’VANCE: “I took my 3 year old son on a trip and my son drops a cookie in between the seat and he looks at me and says: “Dad, well…fuck.” pic.twitter.com/OuCfzmLF6S — Autism Capital (@AutismCapital) October 31, 2024 So good! Kamala could never do this. Here’s the full interview, it’s definitely worth your time: And if you missed the Trump interview, I’ll post that right below: Top 5 Moments From The Trump/Rogan Interview (Plus FULL Video) Top 5 Moments From The Trump/Rogan Interview (Plus FULL Video) The President Trump interview on Joe Rogan definitely lived up to the hype! Three hours long and it was absolutely fascinating. President Trump came off very likeable and I think he will win over many "normies" who perhaps have never heard him speak, other than the edited clips shared by the Fake News media. So it was a huge win. Joe I thought came off as a bit obtuse, I wasn't overly impressed with how he handled the interview, but President Trump absolutely nailed it. Love to hear what you think. In case you missed it or haven't seen it yet, let me show you some of the best clips, curated from my friend The Vigilant Fox. Here's the opening clip where they talk about whether Kamala Harris could ever do this show: DONALD TRUMP: “Can you imagine Kamala doing this show?” JOE ROGAN: “I could imagine her doing this show.” DONALD TRUMP: “She'd be laying on the floor.” JOE ROGAN: “She was supposed to do it, and she might still do it, and I hope she does.” DONALD TRUMP: “She's not gonna do it.” JOE ROGAN: “I will talk to her like a human being. I will try to have a conversation with her.” DONALD TRUMP: “If she did this kind of an interview with you—I hope she does because it would be a mess— she'd be laying on the floor, comatose. You'd be saying, ‘call in the medics.’” Watch here: DONALD TRUMP: “Can you imagine Kamala doing this show?” JOE ROGAN: “I could imagine her doing this show.” DONALD TRUMP: “She'd be laying on the floor.” JOE ROGAN: “She was supposed to do it, and she might still do it, and I hope she does.” DONALD TRUMP: “She's not gonna do… pic.twitter.com/lNabONUvXp — The Vigilant Fox ? (@VigilantFox) October 26, 2024 Then we have a discussion of the 2020 election rig: Wow. Joe Rogan just agreed with Trump that there were at least two undeniable instances of election interference in 2020. The first one was the Russia collusion hoax, where it was purported that Trump was a “Russian asset.” The major instance of election interference was the Hunter Biden laptop story. Twitter 1.0 removed links to the story, while 51 former intelligence agents dismissed it as “Russian disinformation.” “And the only reason why they got away with this lie was because they continually labeled you as this horrible threat to democracy and Hitler,” Rogan said. “They kept saying you were going to be a dictator, ignoring the fact that you weren't a dictator for the four years when you were actually the president.” Wow.

But I was asked not to do it, and I thought that was a reasonable ask. But now I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it very soon,” Trump said.

Joe Rogan just concluded that the “only thing that makes sense” for why Dem politicians would oppose voter ID is because “they want to cheat.” Even the majority of everyday Democrats SUPPORT voter ID. A shocking new Gallup poll showed that 84% of Americans SUPPORT requiring photo ID to vote. This includes 67% of DEMOCRATS who support the measure. This makes sense because you need an ID to: • Buy alcohol or cigarettes • Board a plane • Rent a hotel room • Open a bank account • Start a new job • Or practically any interaction that involves other parties Meanwhile, Dem politicians strongly oppose voter IDs. That's very suspicious, and it tells you that they care more about cheating than secure elections. This is a devastating clip for Democrats.

What do you think?” DONALD TRUMP: “There's no reason not to.” “I interviewed jet pilots that were solid people... And they said, “We saw things that were very strange, like a round ball. But it wasn't a comet or a meteor. It was something. And it was going four times faster than an F-22,’ which is a very fast plane.” JOE ROGAN: “Do you think that we have aliens flying around or whatever?

With a speech looming, Trump told Rogan, “It’s been an honor,” calling him a “fascinating guy” and promising, “We’ll do it again.” “I’m going to make a great speech, and I’m going to say, if I’m a little off tonight, I’m going to blame you,” Trump quipped. With a big smile, he said with astonishment, “I spoke to this guy for three hours.” In the final moments, Trump asked, “How long have we been talking?” Rogan’s producer, Jamie, revealed it had been a whopping three hours.

EDITOR’S NOTE: We have not been able to independently verify this ourselves, but multiple reports are trending on Twitter with first-hand witnesses saying they’ve experienced this.  We are reaching out to our readers to ask for your comments below to either confirm or deny if you’ve experienced this voting in California.  Thank you. A brand new problem is trending online from people voting on machines in California. According to reports, President Trump is not visible among the choices for President unless/until you push a “More” button. But Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is listed second. Take a look: UPDATE: 2024 Election California voting Machines are reportedly not showing Donald Trump unless you hit the “More” tab at the bottom… Kamala Harris is at the top of course, and RFK JR is next… Obviously the ploy here is to have people maybe consider voting for RFK JR,… https://t.co/OVY1NK5TtL pic.twitter.com/J5PVjA6U3H — MJTruthUltra (@MJTruthUltra) October 31, 2024 MJTruth reports: UPDATE: 2024 Election California voting Machines are reportedly not showing Donald Trump unless you hit the “More” tab at the bottom… Kamala Harris is at the top of course, and RFK JR is next… Obviously the ploy here is to have people maybe consider voting for RFK JR, targeting Independents. California is so ridiculous. See the full image here: So they can get Chase Oliver and Jill Stein in there but not Donald J. Trump? Really? This man reports the same thing, saying he personally just voted in California and had to click the “More” button to find President Trump: Just voted in California.
