Running a business? Prefer not to hire criminals? Hire them anyway — or our Democrat rulers will smash your kneecaps with the racism club:
Sheetz Inc., which operates more than 700 stores in six states, discriminated against Black, Native American and multiracial job seekers by automatically weeding out applicants whom the company deemed to have failed a criminal background check, according to U.S. officials.

The Feds explicitly do not allege that Sheetz has committed racial animus. They just cite the disparate impact.

The absurdly hypermanaged Biden evoked facepalms at this event, which invited comparisons to Trump that did not favor Creepy Joe:
[T]he overall response to his presence seemed incredibly tame for a sitting president only a few months away from his re-election bid.
Whereas,
On Tuesday evening, Trump had visited a bodega in Harlem, New York, where he was met with cheering, energetic crowds.
It makes quite the contrast:
