Tractor Supply announced Thursday it is no longer implementing neo-Marxist initiatives throughout the company, marking a rare win for conservatives seeking to restore sanity to American institutions. “We work hard to live up to our Mission and Values every day and represent the values of the communities and customers we serve,” a company press release reads. “We have heard from customers that we have disappointed them. We have taken this feedback to heart. Going forward, we will ensure our activities and giving tie directly to our business.”

Fire the idiot who made that choice and the board that hired him, and we will talk about doing business with them again. I have heard many a forced apology from teenagers, so I know what I am hearing is CYA, and not contrition.

Hal Lawton is the name of the CEO who implemented DEI at TSC, he is still there. He was a guest columnist in The Tennessean on April 7, 2021, with "How Tractor Supply Company is helping vaccinate rural American against COVID-19". He wrote an Op-Ed in The Tennessean on October 20, 2021, with the title "Why businesses should follow Tractor Supply’s push for diversity, inclusion, and climate change prevention"

Target never got the "message" from all their "citizen activism." Target continues with their in-your-face "Pride" celebrations and deranged left-leaning marketing. It was once our "go to" place for everything, and they've gotten ne'ery a dollar from us since they began allowing boys in girls restrooms.

Did the woman from Budweiser find a new job at Tractor Supply? I know when I go to Tractor Supply, I'm always on the lookout for DEI content amongst the chickens and feed, garden supplies, and log splitters. Nothing says DEI more than a container of chemical that keeps deer and rabbits out of your garden.

Corporate DEI/ESG implementation has little to do with bottom-line result or consumer druthers on product/service. It has everything to do with virtue signaling with executive peers. No one wants to be socially shunned from the 'in' crowd. They have to be seen at all the right cocktail parties and social events. Consequently, the fear is that a company may lose distributor, advertising, vendor and other business contacts if they don't play along with the 'cool' kids. I suspect that few executives really believe the "Didn't Earn It" crap in their heart of hearts. The only real true believers have been infesting a corporation's HR department for years.

Talk is cheap. Unless the evil corporate idiots responsible for all this garbage get very publicly fired, then they are just buying time to start slowly sneaking all this evil back into their agenda again when they think nobody is paying any attention again!!! Besides, why would they want to keep corporate stooges who are so out of touch with the customer base for this company?!?!?!? Most of their customers are farmers and ranchers, who are 98% conservative and don't support evil sodomite causes!!!!!

Just in time for me to return to TSC for Christmas shopping for far away relatives. Literally, just in time. TSC has some of the best gifts for my gardening relatives living on other planets. You have to mail them out really early. I can't imagine a corporation that us usually so customer friendly being so damn stupid as to do the deadly DEI thing. Fire the person who thought up that BAD idea.

In a letter to Judge Merchan earlier today, New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg is asking for a postponement of sentencing. Regardless of the corrupt Lawfare trial outcome, the Supreme Court ruling around presidential immunity has thrown a wrench into the former prosecution’s case. Alvin Bragg used evidence, within the trial, that has been deemed by the Supreme court to be inadmissible. President Trump’s lawyers are filing a motion to overturn the judgement based on the SCOTUS ruling. Bragg now requests additional time to review the Lawfare consequences and construct his own legal strategy. (letter)

The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) found 200 missing children, including sex trafficking victims, abused children and runaways in a six-week nationwide operation, the Department of Justice announced July 1. “One of the most sacred missions of U.S. Marshals Service is locating and recovering our nation’s critically missing children,” said USMS Director Ronald Davis. “This is one of our top priorities as there remain thousands of children still missing and at risk.” Of the children found, 173 were endangered runaways, one was a family abduction, another was a non-family abduction and 25 were considered otherwise missing. The youngest was a 5-month-old baby.

James Clyburn and Barack Obama are the two democrats who could unilaterally remove Joe Biden by withdrawing their support. It must frustrate Jill Biden to know The Lightbringer and the Ballot Master have that kind of leverage over her appointments at Tiffanys. As a result of this dynamic, we remind everyone to pay close attention to how Clyburn and Obama are indicating their position. Additionally, it is worth remembering how Obama and Clyburn agreed on Kamala Harris as the VP selection in 2020, and informed Joe Biden who would be on his ticket. The Jussie Smollet operation was still active when Kamala was installed with Biden.

Lawfare writ large, are a tribe of leftists who strategically weaponize the justice systems within the DOJ.

Do not let it go unnoticed that foreign leaders are watching the USA President give a national address shouting about a need to “save democracy” while simultaneously trying to jail his political opposition. These are not just odd hypocrisies that make good fodder to intellectually beat leftists in western social media battles; these are actual realities with real world consequences for billions of people living in it.

The melodrama surrounding efforts to get Freeze Frame Joe to quit his re-election campaign is the media’s way of coping with the way the Acme Presidential Debate turned out. The wily coyotes at CNN and in the Democrat Party wrote the debate rules in a manner designed to keep Trump from dominating. This focused attention on Pedo Joe, who turned out to be an open-mouth ghost. Once again, instead of catching Trump, they blew their own candidate up. Meep, meep. The pressure is so high that Dark Brandon turned orange for his reading off the teleprompter on live TV last night

Seriously, no snark. Give me your opinion because at a certain point I will admit my analysis starts to look at people through a very dark prism. Given what we continue to see getting worse by the day with the mental state of her husband, Jill Biden is really looking sketchy. I’ll share why in another video, but to first put context to a rather alarming topic, we all need to watch this one. As you watch Jill Biden treat her husband like he’s an in-patient on a day outing, I want you to look carefully at her ring finger on her left hand.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) plans to draft articles of impeachment after the Supreme Court ruled former President Donald Trump may have some immunity from prosecution related to actions he took in the aftermath of the 2020 election. “The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a post to X on Monday. “Today’s ruling represents an assault on American democracy. It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture.” “I intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our return,” the New York Democrat said.

On Monday morning, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision of Trump v. United States that the office of the United States presidency has immunity from criminal prosecution. Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote the dissent, which Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson also signed onto. It's a dissent that has plenty of people talking over social media, with a common theme of the reaction being "bats**t" to describe her ranting and raving. "With fear for our democracy, I dissent," she wrote in what sounds like a line the Biden reelection will almost certainly take advantage of. She also began her dissent in part by writing

The Biden family are apparently questioning whether several top campaign aides should be fired after last week’s disastrous debate debacle — as some allies accused President Biden’s preparation team of “political malpractice.” Talk of axing the staffers unfolded in private as President Biden and his family hunkered down at Camp David over the weekend to discuss options amid mounting calls for the 81-year-old to give up his re-election campaign, sources told CNN. During the discussions, some members of the first family trashed the senior aides and called for them to be put on the chopping block —

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) blasted what he called the “MAGA SCOTUS” on Monday after the U.S. Supreme Court found in favor of former President Donald Trump in his challenge to January 6th prosecutors. Trump faces charges in Washington, D.C., brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith relating to his conduct on January 6, 2021, when rioters stormed the Capitol. He argued that he is immune from prosecution for his official acts.As Breitbart News reported, the Court found that presidents have absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts, but not from unofficial acts, and remanded the case back to the trial court to determine the difference.

Voters removed Sens. Sandy Senn, Penry Gustafson and Katrina Shealy from office during sparsely turned out primaries in June, and by doing so completely vacated the Republican wing of the five-member “Sister Senators,” a female contingent that included two Democrats and was joined in their opposition to the abortion ban.
