Hyundai is standing by its DEI policies and launching a new multicultural marketing campaign — and an executive says that it’s good for business. "In terms of the creative that we’re doing and the work that we’re doing with Culture Brands, it’s born from a recognition that it drives sales, drives the bottom line for the company," Hyundai Director of Experiential and Multicultural Marketing Erik Thomas told Digiday.

Washington CNN — Prominent legal conservatives on Friday sought to tamp down a wave of sudden criticism directed at Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett over her vote to reject President Donald Trump’s attempt to freeze nearly $2 billion in foreign aid. Barrett, a former appeals court judge and law professor who Trump placed on the bench during his first term, joined Chief Justice John Roberts and the court’s three liberals in upholding – for now – a lower court ruling that required the administration to quickly spend the contested aid.
The FBI has arrested three individuals on charges of treason, marking a significant development in an ongoing investigation under the agency’s new director, Kash Patel. The arrests were announced on Friday, just two weeks after Patel took office. Authorities have yet to disclose the full details of the case, but sources confirm that the suspects allegedly betrayed the nation and attempted to sell government secrets to China.[Snip] The soldiers are accused of “stealing America’s defense intelligence capabilities and empowering adversaries like China in betrayal of our country,” Patel wrote on X. He promised that the men would face “American justice.”
Do We Have an Amy Coney Barrett Problem?

Was putting Justice Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court a mistake? It wouldn’t be the first. John Roberts was a blunder. David Souter was another, the late Ted Kennedy and John Kerry tried to smear Souter as a right-wing nut. We used to call her Notorious ACB—the anti-Ruth Bader Ginsburg: conservative and Catholic. Liberals melted down when Donald Trump pushed her through in 2020. Now, she’s been one to hand us some brutal defeats on serious constitutional questions, like allowing district courts to paralyze the executive.

Several Democrats in both chambers of Congress are planning to skip President Trump’s first address to lawmakers of his second White House term Tuesday night, expected to be a wide-ranging speech after six weeks in office. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) posted Tuesday on social media that she wouldn’t attend.
[Snip] Several Senate Democrats are also opting to skip Trump’s speech. “Instead of attending Trump’s SOTU, I’m speaking with constituents of mine like Scott, a disabled veteran who worked at VA helping to house homeless veterans,” Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) said Tuesday on X. “Elon fired Scott. I’ll be sharing his story
Things may get heated in Congress, but never do they fall apart like this. Opposition lawmakers in Serbia threw smoke grenades and tear gas at fellow parliamentarians in a show of opposition to the government and to express their support for current student protests. The demonstrations were a response to the collapse of a roof at a train station several months ago that killed 15 people and now threatens to bring down the country’s government. The attack took place during a legislative session after the ruling coalition, led by the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), approved the parliamentary agenda.
In a bombshell interview on The Joe Rogan Experience, Elon Musk and Joe Rogan tore into the suspicious circumstances surrounding the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at his Butler, Pennsylvania rally—a rally that, curiously, was the only Trump event CNN bothered to stream live during the entire campaign. Now, billionaire investor Bill Ackman is demanding answers, calling for an investigation into why the far-left network broke its pattern of ignoring Trump rallies just in time to broadcast an attempt on his life.
An anti-Trump boycott on Friday?

If you haven’t heard, leftists are taking their ball and going home, like petulant toddlers, on Friday, February 28. The news on socialist...er, social media lately has been about the “Feb. 28 economic blackout,” which is supposed to be a protest by leftists over the fact that they lost the election. They want people to refrain from participating in the economy for 24 hours — specifically those major retailers that dared scale back on Didn’t Earn It efforts.[Snip] Remember that the order from the left is “no Amazon, no Walmart, no fast food,”
Elon Musk attended President Trump's first cabinet meeting today and spoke in defense of DOGE saying it was necessary to make budget cuts because "If we don't do this, America will go bankrupt." [Video] As you can see, Musk also noted that he's getting a lot of death threats and there certainly have been several instances which have made national news.[Snip] That person has been identified but so far I haven't seen an update beyond the fact that she deleted all of her social media after this went viral.

the Cost of Eggs 15 replies
Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins has hit the ground running with a five-pronged strategy to combat the inflated price of eggs.[Snip] Rollins plans to make a $1 billion investment toward that end, ultimately reducing the inflation on eggs. Rollins is also working with DOGE to find and cut the wasteful spending at the Department of Agriculture. Rollins' aim is to repurpose the appropriated dollars into long-term solutions to combat avian flu. Since 2022, the Biden administration culled 166 million laying hens as their solution to address the virus.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is the head of the DOGE Subcommittee which is part of the House Oversight Committee.[Snip] Greene had a hearing on Wednesday titled, "America Last: How Foreign Aid Undermined U.S. Interests Around the World."[Snip]“The Democrat-run USAID should not get to use our federal government, our US taxpayer dollars as their party piggy bank to push their radical agenda in countries that we have no business giving money to,” Greene said in her opening statements, adding that 96% of USAID employee political contributions go to democratic party candidates or PACs.
DOGE workers are revolting against Elon Musk and Donald Trump by signing a dramatic resignation letter vowing not to defund 'public services.' 'We swore to serve the American people and uphold our oath to the Constitution across presidential administrations,' 21 former DOGE staffers wrote in a letter first reported on by AP. These ex-DOGE workers, who are not part of Musk's personally hired nerd army, said that they refuse to 'dismantle critical public services' being slashed.

Crisis,’ Dems Must Be Willing to ‘Fight
and Die’ 30 replies
Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Friday on ABC’s “The View” that President Donald Trump’s second term was an “existential crisis,” so Democratic lawmakers must be willing to “fight and die.”
Discussing the ten Democrats who voted with Republicans to censure Rep. Al Green (D-TX) over his interruption during the president’s address to Congress, Hostin said, “They don’t know how to fight and be part of an opposition party. Representative Green gave them the example. The Democrats are not meeting the moment. It is very clear that Medicaid is on the table. It is very clear that Social Security is on the table. It is very clear that people will die.
An illegal immigrant who served as deputy communications director for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) has fled the United States for Colombia, saying he finally has "freedom of movement."
Diego de la Vega, who arrived in the United States from Ecuador at age seven and overstayed his visitor's visa, began working for Ocasio-Cortez in October 2022, according to his LinkedIn. Last December, de la Vega left the United States and relocated to Bogotá with his wife, another illegal immigrant, the Substack "Migrant Insider" reported.
Ocasio-Cortez praised her former aide on Wednesday, saying he was "amazing" and that "we love him."

Days After Saying It’s ‘Unfair’
For Men To Compete 23 replies
California Gov. Gavin Newsom refuses to protect women’s sports just days after he claimed it was “unfair” for men to play in women’s sports.
In a podcast featuring Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk, Newsom said men in women’s sports are “unfair” but did not answer Kirk’s question as to whether men should be prohibited.
Newsom then suggested that there needs to be a way to balance fairness with the mental health of these young men, otherwise they might “commit suicide.”
“There’s also a humility and a grace. You know that these poor people are more likely to commit suicide,
Columbia, S.C.— I’ve now watched through glass and bars as 11 men were put to death at a South Carolina prison. None of the previous 10 prepared me for watching the firing squad death of Brad Sigmon on Friday night.
I might now be unique among U.S. reporters: I’ve witnessed three different methods — nine lethal injections and an electric chair execution. I can still hear the thunk of the breaker falling 21 years later.
As a journalist you want to ready yourself for an assignment. You research a case. You read about the subject.
In the two weeks since I knew how Sigmon was going to die, I read up
The frontrunner to take over the reins from Justin Trudeau on Sunday when Canada’s Liberal Party chooses its new leader is a tough-talking former Goldman Sachs executive who has compared President Trump to the Harry Potter villain Voldemort.
Mark Carney, credited with helping Canada dodge the worst of the 2008 financial crisis when he was governor of the Bank of Canada, is viewed by his countryman as the politician most trusted to handle Trump, polls show.
“When you think about what’s at stake in these ridiculous, insulting comments of the president, of what we could be, I view this as the sort of Voldemort of comments
Stock up on popcorn, folks — the American political world is about to get a little more entertaining, in the "point and laugh" sense, as Kamala Harris is thinking of sticking her toes back in the political waters. We see now that she is "setting a timetable" for her next big political decision. Why would she need a timetable to make a decision? Either do it or don't. But this is the Queen of Word Salads we're talking about, so...
Former Vice President Kamala Harris is setting a timetable to make a major decision about her political future.
The Environmental Protection Agency has no ability to track or conduct oversight of more than $650 million in taxpayer funds that a Biden-backed green group wired to dozens of credit union accounts last month, the agency told the Washington Free Beacon.
In mid-February, the New York-based eco group Inclusiv—which received $1.9 billion last year as part of the EPA's $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund program—transferred $651 million to 108 credit unions across 27 states and Puerto Rico. The group said the credit unions would use the funding to offer financing for green energy projects such as solar installations and electric vehicle chargers within their jurisdictions.
- It’s good to be king — or a district judge. Judge Amir Ali has no power to appropriate money or spend it. Neither does he have any authority over the conduct of US foreign policy. Ali is not letting that stop him in his escalating conflict with the Trump administration over USAID spending, though. The judge won a modified victory in the Supreme Court, which opted not to stop him from trying to force the Trump administration to spend money that it has currently paused. In a dissent expressing shock and dismay that the court is letting Ali proceed on his current course,
Folks, it's official. Kamala Harris is beginning to contemplate what needs to be done in terms of recognizing the importance of understanding the steps she must take to seriously consider thinking about running for governor of California in 2026. This bombshell revelation was exclusively reported by Eugene Daniels, the Politico fashion icon and "Kamala Harris expert" who will soon join MSNBC as weekend show cohost. It was his "final scoop" for the Virginia-based news blog, which is located many, many floors below the Washington Free Beacon. According to Daniels, the failed presidential candidate is getting "serious about considering" a run
One of President Donald Trump’s golf courses in Scotland was vandalised by a group of “pro-Palestinian” protesters, who defaced the property with graffiti and dug up the greens.
The Palestine Action group claimed responsibility on Saturday for multiple acts of vandalism at the Trump Turnberry golf resort in South Ayrshire, Scotland.
One of the buildings was splattered with red paint, greens were dug up, and messages such as
Maxine Waters (D-CA) has once again stirred controversy with her remarks, suggesting that Elon Musk may have interfered in the 2024 U.S. election. The outspoken Congresswoman raised concerns about the billionaire’s influence, claiming his control over major social media platforms and media outlets potentially swayed the election outcome. Waters’ allegations come amid Musk’s efforts to dismantle and reform government agencies after millions of dollars were discovered wasted on progressive programs and empty office buildings.
Democrats running for office better be strategizing for money that might not be able to be deposited into their war chests because this organization might not exist soon. ActBlue is in total turmoil. Top staffers are leaving in droves, with their unions demanding some explanation for the dysfunction. These aren’t 2024 election staffers either; these are longtime operatives who are fleeing for the hills. You could argue that Congress’ probe into the group might be the impetus, but it might be more. The New York Times shockingly covered this damaging story regarding Democratic Party fundraising, adding that no one they contacted would go on the record
