Walmart, the largest private employer in the United States, will curb some diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts. It’s the latest company to backtrack on diversity initiatives in the face of right-wing pressure, and its decisions will reverberate across corporate America. The company said Monday it is ending racial equity training programs for staff and evaluating programs designed to increase supplier diversity. Walmart has worked to increase the number of suppliers that are at least 51% owned or managed by a woman, minority, veteran or someone who is LGBTQ in recent years. The company is also reviewing all funding of...

Ryan Routh, who is charged in the second assassinate attempt of Donald Trump, tied himself to the President-elect’s other would-be assassin, Thomas Crooks, in a bizarre letter from jail — in which he also ranted about the “two-party system.” Routh 58, sent the letter to Politico reporter Ankush Khardori from a federal detention center in Miami where he is awaiting trial after he allegedly tried to take out Trump at his Florida golf course earlier this year. In the four page letter, in which Routh refers to himself several times as the “Alleged Trump shooter,” he railed against the US’s...

A secret strategy paper clearly outlines the role of the economy should Putin attack in the east. The German army has concrete suggestions on how companies should prepare themselves. A new secret document, reported on by Germany's FAZ newspaper, spells out what this would mean - particularly for German businesses. The 1,000 or so page document lists every location - from bridges to power plants - that could be vulnerable to an attack in the event of a more direct confrontation with Russia. Earlier this year, Defence Minister Boris Pistorius warned that Germany must be ready for the possibility of...

If you thought DC was a totalitarian swamp land, wait till you find out about Sacramento! California, the golden state, the former land of opportunity, is hiring. But only the state itself appears to be hiring. No one's doing business there. UNREAL. Here's more to put that in perspective from the Hoover Institute: Between January 2022 and June 2024, employment in US private businesses increased by about 7.32 million jobs. Of these 7.32 million jobs, about 5,400 were jobs created in California businesses — representing about .07 percent of the US figure. California's total population is about 11-12% of the...

A woman who was caught at a pro-Palestine demonstration giving the Nazi salute and making anti-Jewish threats has been unmasked as the owner of two kosher cafés inside the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, Canada. Mallie Mai Abdulhadi, 39, was shockingly caught on camera giving the Sieg Heil salute towards pro-Israel counter-protesters at last Thursday's protest at her alma mater Concordia University. She attempted to shield her identity with a keffiyeh – a traditional Palestinian scarf – as well as a medical mask and sunglasses but was revealed as she taunted the opposing group. Abdulhadi warned them in the video:...

President Biden and first lady Jill Biden will attend President-elect Trump’s inauguration in January, the White House said. “The president promised that he would attend the inauguration of whomever won the election. He and the first lady are going to honor that promise and attend the inauguration,” White House senior deputy press secretary Andrew Bates told reporters on Monday. Trump did not attend Biden’s January 2021 inauguration, and he left the White House that day under a cloud of controversy after losing the 2020 race and amid scrutiny over his actions surrounding the riot at the U.S. Capitol earlier that...

"Some of the 'greatest' minds in America have gathered in the pages of the country’s leading weekly to declare how little they understand things now, and how little they care to understand them moving forward."

It appears that Elon and Vivek are focused on eliminating unnecessary staff to obtain long-overdue budget cuts. They should not stop there however. There are huge amounts of egregious furnishings in these government departments. They should be confiscating it and sending it to government auction houses, with the proceeds going ONLY to national debt reduction. Here are some examples: Apparently in the DOJ there is a $70k conference table. Seize this and replace it with folding tables and plastic chairs. Seize all leather office chairs and hardwood desks and replace them with the cheapest stuff possible. Except for law enforcement,...

Daily Readings from the USCCBWhile some people were speaking about how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, Jesus said, “All that you see here—the days will come when there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.” Luke 21:5–6In a literal way, this prophecy of our Lord came true. In 70 A.D., the Temple upon which they were commenting was destroyed. After prophesying this, Jesus then goes on to warn the disciples that there will be many confusions that will come. There will be false prophets, wars and insurrections,...

Democratic National Committee workers are asking for charitable donations after making significant layoffs in a dramatic downsizing after Vice President Kamala Harris lost the election. The pleas for donations sparked outrage on social media, as memories of the massive $1 billion Kamala Harris campaign spending spree were still fresh, including millions of dollars spent to host celebrity filled town halls for the vice president. Two-thirds of DNC staffers were laid off as part of the downsizing on Wednesday, with only one day's notice and no severance, according to the union. 'These cuts go far beyond typical campaign turnover and impact...

President Trump will remove transgender servicemembers from the military by executive order on day one of his presidency. “The ban is expected to be wider ranging than a similar order made during his first term in office, when Trump prevented transgender people joining the armed forces, but allowed those already serving to keep their jobs. President Biden rescinded the order, but this time even those with decades of service will be removed from their posts, according to several sources,” The Times reported.

@MyLordBebo 🇺🇸 WTF: Tulsa city council invites a “priestess of the goddess” to say a ‘satanic prayer’ dedicating the entire city to Satan on Nov 20th. They’re going insane?

Outgoing President Joe Biden’s Justice Department moved on election night on Nov. 5 to essentially ensure the cover-up of a potentially massive green energy scandal, Breitbart News has learned exclusively. This story has tentacles back through, not just the Biden administration, but all the way back to the Obama administration, and it could be something that jeopardizes the broader green energy agenda and the future of leftist solar projects on federal lands. At least one congresswoman is already formally pressing the DOJ for answers, and more members of Congress are likely to get involved soon. It could even have major...

We all know that a lot of nonsense courses at American colleges are stuffed with pork ... but now that's literally true, because the University of Maryland is offering a spring semester course on "fat studies." "Intro to Fat Studies: Fatness, Blackness and their Intersections" is taught by Dr. Sydney Lewis, and is advertised as follows: The course examines fatness as an area of human difference subject to privilege and discrimination that intersects with other systems of oppression based on gender, race, class, sexual orientation, and ability. This course will particularly highlight the relationship between fatness and Blackness. We approach...

Here’s an idea for American toy manufactures - create action figures for Trump cabinet members. Here are some examples: Elon Musk carrying a kitchen sink with the smiling doge dog by his side. Tom Homan down on the Mexican border carrying an illegal alien under each arm. Pam Bondi and (hopefully) Kash Patel leading a chain gang of orange-clad former DOJ and FBI officials. Chris Wright, Secretary of Energy drilling a new oil well with a “drill baby drill” sign. Sean Duffy, Secretary of Transportation in a jacked-up Chevy Duramax with vertical exhaust stacks “rolling coal” past a line of...
