Of Course | “Google Diversity Chief Will Remain at Company in Wake of Anti-Semitic Remarks”
Google’s global lead for diversity strategy will stay with the company after an uproar over his anti-Semitic comments but will no longer work on diversity issues, according to a Google press statement on Thursday.
Kamau Bobb will now focus on science and technology education, the company said. Bobb was already a member of Google’s computer science education team, a media consultant for Google told the Washington Free Beacon on Wednesday.
The decision follows calls from Jewish groups, such as the Simon Wiesenthal Center and Stand With Us, for Google to fire Bobb. Google broke its silence days after the Free Beacon reported Tuesday on a 2007 blog post in which Bobb claimed that Jews have an “insatiable appetite for war.”
“We unequivocally condemn the past writings by a member of our diversity team that are causing deep offense and pain to members of our Jewish community and our LGBTQ+ community. These writings are unquestionably hurtful,” said Google in the statement. “The author acknowledges this and has apologized. He will no longer be part of our diversity team going forward and will focus on his STEM work.”
Bobb sent an email apology late Tuesday to a listserv of Jewish Google employees, known within the company as the “Jewglers,” saying his anti-Semitic tirade was “intended as a critique of particular military action.”
“[T]he world is leaving us all feeling unsafe and unsettled right now. i certainly don’t want to contribute to that,” he wrote. “[N]one of this changes or excuses the words i wrote – but i am deeply sorry for them.”
In Bobb’s blog 2007 post, titled “If I Were a Jew,” he offered his thoughts on how Jews should view the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“If I were a Jew I would be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defense of myself,” he wrote in the Nov. 30, 2007, post on his personal blog, where he was still actively publishing as recently as April 2021. “Self defense is undoubtedly an instinct, but I would be afraid of my increasing insensitivity to the suffering [of] others.”
Bobb appears to have deleted the blog post Thursday. A copy is still available on Internet Archive.

Media Ignores Heinous Attack on Republican Lawmaker’s Home
Snopes, the left-leaning “fact-checking” website, sent Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) a note demanding to know if she was responsible for vandalizing her own home, the Republican lawmaker said on the Todd Starnes Radio Show.
Mace announced on social media earlier this week that her Charleston home had been vandalized with vile graffiti along with Antifa symbols.
“It’s a very, very jarring experience,” she told me on my radio program. “And no one should feel like they’ve got to look over their shoulder every day. It doesn’t matter what your political leanings are, Republican or Democrat or indifferent, everyone should feel safe in their own homes.”
Mace said she was especially troubled because she is a single mom with young children.
“People should be safe in their homes. Their families should be safe,” she said. “You should be able to have the ideas that you want without retribution in this country. That’s what freedom is all about.”
The attack was widely condemned by Republicans but garnered hardly any national news coverage or denouncements from congressional Democrats. . . . .
Justice Department investigating law firm linked to Hunter Biden’s Burisma work
The Justice Department is investigating the work of a consulting firm linked to President Biden’s son Hunter Biden for potential illegal lobbying.
In 2015, Blue Star Strategies, a Washington-D.C.-based lobbying and public affairs firm took on the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings as a client while Hunter Biden served on its board, four people familiar with the investigation told Politico, Thursday. . . .
NASA aims for 2 new missions to Venus to learn about ‘lost habitable’ world
For the past few years, Mars has been having its moment.
The planet has captured the fascination of Hollywood, the US and China both landed rovers on its surface and Elon Musk, the head of SpaceX, recently announced that his company hopes to launch its next-generation rocket in 2022 from a platform in the Gulf of Mexico. His sights are set on Mars.
Other planets have become something of an afterthought. When was the last time you caught yourself thinking about Neptune? Pluto had the worst fate of all and in 2006 was downgraded to dwarf planet.
But NASA on Wednesday announced its intention to bring more attention to Venus, the second planet from the sun. The planet–which is one of the brightest objects in the night sky– is considered an “inferno-like world” but may have been “the first habitable world in the solar system, complete with an ocean and Earth-like climate.” . . .
A New York 7-Year-Old Was Accused of Rape. Is Arresting Him the Answer?
At the forested edge of the Canadian border this spring, state police arrested a person from the hamlet of Brasher Falls, N.Y., population about 1,000. He was charged with rape.
The pain of such crimes often tears small towns apart without rippling beyond their borders. But following the March 23 arrest, news of the arrest ricocheted far beyond the hamlet.
The resident charged with rape was a 7-year-old boy.
Little is known about the circumstances of the arrest, the specifics of the allegations or the case’s disposition. The records of cases involving children are kept private. But in New York, the arrest reignited a discussion about how the justice system deals with so-called juvenile delinquents — children between the ages of 7 and 18 whose cases are heard in family court.
Judges, juvenile justice experts and lawyers who have handled such cases from both sides of the courtroom say arrests traumatize children, ensnare them in the legal system and increase their chance of recidivism. Young children are almost never charged as adults. But arresting and charging them at all, those who study the issue say, ignores the science of brain development and in an attempt to seek justice often achieves the opposite result.
“What we know now is that the science doesn’t support prosecution of second graders,” said Dawne Mitchell, who leads the Legal Aid Society’s juvenile rights practice. Citing cognitive science that shows such young children lack true awareness of the consequences of their actions, and that emphasizes the psychological trauma of being cuffed and prosecuted, Ms. Mitchell is one of a growing number of experts across the country urging states to raise their age minimums.
Trump Admin Covertly Obtained Phone Records Of NYT Reporters
The administration told The New York Times that Trump officials seized the records of reporters Matt Apuzzo, Adam Goldman, Eric Lichtblau and Michael Schmidt from Jan. 14 to April 30, 2017. The DOJ also got a court order to seize their email logs, but told the Times that “no records were obtained.”
Last month, the Biden DOJ revealed that the Trump administration also seized the phone records of reporters at The Washington Post and the phone and email logs for a reporter at CNN.
Though the DOJ did not disclose what article was being investigated, the Times speculated it was related to former FBI director James Comey and his leadership in the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails in the run up to the 2016 presidential election.
The paper mentioned that its article contained a classified DOJ memo about then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and her role in the investigation. The article ran on April 22, 2017.
Vet’s mic cut off as he spoke of role freed slaves played in Memorial Day origins
A US Army veteran’s microphone was cut off during a Memorial Day event in Ohio as he discussed the role freed black slaves played in the holiday’s origins, video shows.
Footage of Monday’s event shows retired Army Lt. Col. Barnard Kemter tapping the microphone midway into his 11-minute speech during a ceremony at Markillie Cemetery in Hudson, Ohio, where one of the organizers admitted they intentionally dropped the audio, the Akron Beacon Journal reported.
Cindy Suchan, president of the Hudson American Legion Auxiliary, declined to say who specifically turned down the volume, but said organizers wanted the portion cut out since it was “not relevant to our program for the day,” adding that the theme was to honor Hudson veterans.
Kemter, 77, who served in the Army from 1965 through 1995, said he was dismayed by the incident.
Rand Paul Doubles Down on #FauciEmails, Calls Fauci ‘Morally Culpable’ for Pandemic
Wednesday was a great day to be Rand Paul. It’s rare that someone gets to wake up in the morning and discover that everything you’ve been saying has been right all along. For Sen. Paul, it’s the #FauciEmails showing everything he and my editor Courtney have said about Anthony Fauci was pretty accurate. At first, Paul only had two words for the media’s favorite bureaucrat. After some time to collect his thoughts, the senator laid out just how serious this is.
Rand Paul on whether there’s ‘criminal culpability’ regarding Dr. Fauci
youtu.be
At the very least, there’s moral culpability. In the research done by the bat scientist in Wuhan, she gives him credit. She lists the exact NIH grant with a ten-numeral disclaimer or ID number, listing the money and thanking the NIH for the money. It’s clearly “gain of function.” There are several scientists who are in this field, cellular biologists, they all say that taking a SARS virus and adding an S-protein to it to make it infect human cells, that is the very definition of gain of function. It’s very dangerous. We shouldn’t be doing it here or there. But Dr. Fauci has denied it to this day.
But the private e-mails show that he was acknowledging that it was gain of function. Nobody was questioning it. The scientific community needs to look at this, because he hides behind this veil of the lab coat that nobody can question him. … It absolutely was gain of function research. He was funding it. And to this day, he is still saying he would do it again.
If reading the words “gain of function” makes you glassy-eyed and confused … join the club. It ties into the “Wuhan Lab Theory” that Facebook says we’re allowed to talk about now. Best I can tell, think back to Jurassic Park and Jeff Goldblum lambasting the scientist so focused on whether he could, he never thought about whether he should. Only instead of killer dinosaurs, they created a virus that wreaked havoc on the entire planet. DISCLAIMER: I’m a blogger and not a scientist.
Whether or not American taxpayers helped fund this research and/or how much Pope Tony is responsible are excellent questions. Ones that should be investigated via hearings and bipartisan commissions. Two things that Rand Paul says there’s next to no chance of happening. Those would have to be called by the people in charge (Democrats).
In order to do so, they’d have to admit they were wrong this whole time. Also, they’d have to admit that the pandemic restrictions were based on questionable information that we now know was being questioned back then. Also, they’d have to admit that they lacked any curiosity in questioning that information that led to those restrictions. Things that, if it got out to the American people, the American people might be more than mildly annoyed at.
Being proven right is nice and all, but it only goes so far. Now we need answers.
