UPDATED - Google fires employee behind anti-diversity memo, CRISIS, CEO Had To Return from Vacation in Africa


From Reuters:
Google has fired an employee who wrote an internal memo that ascribed gender inequality in the technology industry to biological differences. 
James Damore, the engineer who wrote the memo, confirmed his dismissal saying that he had been fired for "perpetuating gender stereotypes," in an email to Reuters on Monday. Damore said he is exploring all possible legal remedies. Google said it could not talk about individual employee cases. 
"Distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes and that these differences may explain why we don't see equal representation of women in tech and leadership," James wrote in an internal company memo last week. 
"Portions of the memo violate our Code of Conduct and cross the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace," Google Chief Executive Sundar Pichai said in an internal email viewed by Reuters on Monday. 
The memo stoked a heated debate over treatment of women in the male-dominated Silicon Valley that has boiled for months following sexual harassment scandals at Uber Technologies Inc and several venture capital firms. 
Google's vice president of diversity, Danielle Brown, sent a memo in response to the furor, saying the engineer's essay "advanced incorrect assumptions about gender."
UPDATE

The memo was considered such a crisis, Google's CEO had to return from vacation to deal with the matter:

Google has become adware, selling the globalist, leftist agenda.

There is a website, searchenginewatch.com, that publishes a hefty trove of first hand evidence of Google's search engine result bias.

Google spies on all of us all the time.

Damn adware everywhere.

OT: Glen Campbell, Country Music Legend, dies at 81

There was a shooting overnight in West Goshen, PA — this is in Chester County PA which is near Philly. Early reports from the Daily Local News the West Chester, PA newspaper have been claimed to be screen captured. There are claims on the DLN facebook page that they said:

“A man was shot and killed early this morning following a dispute on the topic of President Donald Trump with his neighbor in West Goshen Township, police said”

Jennings the man who was murdered was a Republican Committeeman, more recent MSM stories do not contain anything about Trump and say “it’s a developing story”. Others on The Daily Local Website (not their FB page) comment on the story that the shooter had anti-Trump lawn signs.

It maybe just a crazy neighbor who went of the rails… but it maybe a Trump hater who murdered someone he saw as an symbol of President Trump.
Man gunned down outside home in West Goshen

Comment at this site states:
Clayton (the shooter) plastered his lawn with anti-Trump signs. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to connect GOP committeeman being shot in the head by an un-hinged Trump hater.

Jared And Ivanka’s Attorney Is Siding Against Trump Administration In Immigration Case

Jamie Gorelick, the Hillary Clinton-supporting superlawyer representing Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, is now working pro bono for the city of Chicago in its lawsuit against the Department of Justice.

Chicago is suing the DOJ over President Trump’s policies regarding federal grants for so-called sanctuary cities. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced last month that cities that receive federal crime-fighting grants must also cooperate with U.S. immigration agencies regarding illegal aliens.

But Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel says that the Windy City will not comply with the order. He announced a lawsuit on Monday.

According to CNN, Gorelick — a partner at Wilmer Hale — is one of the attorneys representing Chicago.
