Furious bikers have turned their back on iconic motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson, accusing its CEO of 'going woke.' The growing movement - spearheaded by conservative influencer Robby Starbuck - cites CEO Jochen Zeitz's support for hardline policies on trans care for kids, critical race theory, climate change and diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. Starbuck, 35, is now demanding the company drop its CEO - and is rallying motorcycle enthusiasts to his cause at the largest bikers' event in the world, the 84th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota. 'Bikers @SturgisRally are going to be spreading the word about this,' Starbuck vowed last week, just days before the 10-day event kicked off.

What, in God’s name is going on with these CEO’s? First, it’s Tractor Supply, John Deere, and now Harley Davidson! What kind of woke virus is spreading amongst these people?

How arrogant and ignorant CEO's are, to think they can impose their beliefs on their customers and the public, using their corporate positions, name, and platforms. Such a CEO should be immediately fired, and every cent of corporate money spent spreading their political beliefs clawed back, along with forfeiture of their pension and profit sharing account.

These CEO's all answer to their dominant shareholders, the Blackrocks of the world who are all-in for DEI, ESG, etc. We think we won the Bud Light battle but at the end of the day it did not really matter to Anheuser Busch much at all. A few minor execs lost their jobs but the behavior continues elsewhere. Does anyone believe that bikers en masse are going to start buying Hondas?

Major American Targets in ‘Less Than

Iran has “domination” over American interests in the region and can strike the U.S. in “less than half a day,” according to a senior Iranian Ayatollah who called for “blood vengeance” against the United States for numerous “American crimes,” following Hamas terrorist leader Ismail Haniyeh’s assassination in the heart of Tehran last week. In a sermon which aired on Iran’s Khorasan Razavi TV on Friday, Ayatollah Ahmad Alamolhoda declared in the shrine city of Mashhad, that Iran’s “blood vengeance” should extend beyond Israel to include the United States. “We have to apply this blood vengeance against the United States as well,” he declared.

A Canadian farmer who wants to build a house on his land is being forced to pay $400,000 for a government-mandated archeological dig on his property - and could face jail time if he does not comply. Bruce Cassel, 75, was required to get an archeological assessment of his Ontario farmland when he decided to build a dream retirement home for him and his wife more than four years ago. During the dig, archeologists discovered bits of stone identified as Indigenous artifacts. Now the owner could face massive fines or even jail time unless he pays to complete the final stages of the assessment, which he said totaled $400,000, National Post reported.

Canada’s colonists celebrated the weekend in the traditional fashion by calling for the murder of non-Muslims in Toronto and Montreal. [SNIP] These are entirely explicit calls for Islamic terrorism and violence, with no government response. Had they been truckers protesting pandemic lockdowns and vaccine mandates, there would have been outrage and action. Trudeau would have declared a State of Emergency and had their bank accounts frozen. But much as in the UK, there are two sets of rules and as progressives in good standing, Islamic Jihadists get a pass unless they actually start doing things.

DLA Piper was good to the Emhoff-Harris family with the family taking home $2.7 million in 2019 and $1.2 million in 2020.

Tester’s last reelection campaign enflamed controversy when a Pearl Jam poster for a get-out-the-vote concert promoting the Montana Democrat featured a dead Donald Trump and an American bald eagle eating the remains of his corpse. Tester is close friends with Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament, who designed the poster.

It's hard to imagine the US government doling out taxpayers' money, knowing that it flows to Taliban extremists who impose their religious fanaticism on long-suffering Afghans. But that's what auditors have uncovered about the Biden administration's bungling State Department. Two foreign affairs teams in 2022 provided $293 million of humanitarian aid to Afghan nonprofits without checking carefully enough that the recipients were above board. [SNIP] Millions more has gone missing from the more than $17.9 billion the US has sent to Afghanistan since 2021, when US forces withdrew from the country as the Taliban swept back to power.

The media isn’t going to tell you this. The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) describes itself as “America’s largest Muslim civil liberties organization.” In that guise, and as it has championed numerous far-left causes, it has become a respected member of the leftist establishment, with numerous ignorant and self-serving politicians lavishing praise on this unsavory gang in hopes of gaining Muslim votes. Among them has been, not surprisingly, Kamala Harris. This has been known for years, but no one has cared.

And it’s an open secret that not only are many members of Congress horrible bosses, the more ‘officially oppressed’ Congressmembers (and some of the most socialist ones like Sen. Bernie Sanders) are the absolutely worst and nastiest bosses. [SNIP] Harris vocally throws around “F-bombs” and other profanity constantly in her berating of staff and others. The staff is in complete fear of her and she uses her profanity throughout the day. As Attorney General, Senator Harris instructed her entire staff to stand every morning as she entered the office and say, “Good Morning General.”

On January 27, 1967, a freak accident during a routine test killed astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee.

We heard the “failure of imagination” phrase again last week, when acting Secret Service director Ronald Rowe testified about the assassination attempt on former President Donld Trump.

US President Joe Biden is set to meet his national security team on Monday to discuss “developments in the Middle East”, the White House has said, as the US deploys extra fighter jets and warships to the region amid growing fears of an Iranian attack on Israel. Regional tensions have increased after the assassination last week of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran a day after an Israeli strike in Beirut killed Fuad Shukur, a senior military commander from the Lebanese group Hezbollah. Both groups are backed by Iran, which has sworn revenge. Biden will also speak to Jordan’s King Abdullah II, the White House said,

Putting some context data together before a video that should concern everyone. Representative Jamie Raskin’s (U-MD) son, Tommy Raskin killed himself right after the 2020 election at the age of 25. Congressman Raskin was diagnosed with cancer in 2022, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Raskin is an angry bitter man of intemperate disposition, the archetype nihilist. As hate consumes him, his physical persona changes with the manifestation of evil enterprise. While his cancer is in reported remission, I would anticipate it to resurface in early 2025, after Baal has finished using him.

The liberal media wants to make Donald Trump’s comments about Kamala Harris’ race a significant point as we enter the final months of the 2024 election. It’s a tacit acknowledgment that the Democratic Party is underwater with groups that usually vote overwhelmingly for them in elections.

Former Donald Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis has reached a cooperation agreement with Arizona prosecutors overseeing the prosecution of a 'fake electors' scheme. Prosecutors are dropping nine charges against her, Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a statement, in a case where 18 Republicans have been charged in a scheme to try snatch away the state's 11 electoral votes and award them to Donald Trump in the 2020 election. Ellis was a prominent Trump campaign attorney, and famously accompanied former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani as he made claims of election fraud in a series of states Trump was contesting.
