    Here are the changes Walmart committed to: • Surveys: Walmart will no longer participate in the HRC’s woke Corporate Equality Index. • Products: Monitor the Walmart marketplace to identify and remove inappropriate sexual and / or transgender products marketed to children. • Funding of Grants: Review all funding of Pride, and other events, to avoid funding inappropriate sexualized content targeting kids. • Equity: We will not extend the Racial Equity Center which was established in 2020 as a special five-year initiative. • Supplier Diversity: We will evaluate supplier diversity programs and ensure they do not provide preferential treatment and benefits to suppliers based on diversity.  We don’t have quotas and won’t going forward.  Financing eligibility will no longer be predicated on providing certain demographic data. • LatinX: Walmart will no longer use the term in official communications. • Trainings: Walmart will discontinue racial equity training through the Racial Equity Institute. • DEI: Walmart will discontinue the use of DEI as a term while ensuring a respectful and supportive environment. Our focus is on Belonging for ALL associates and customers.

  14. Another fun fact. Trump flipped from a 7,040,000 loss to a 2,500,000 vote win, thats almost a 10,000,000 vote difference. That’s INSANE. Let that sink in for a bit, a 10M vote difference between elections.

    Can anyone fathom what it would have been had the debate happened in September. Trump would have won NH, NJ, VA, NM, ME, MN tallying up to 362 electoral votes, and probably a 6+M vote victory.

Some of the characteristics attributed to country club Republicans are higher than average income or inherited wealth, hailing from politically or socially prominent families, fiscally conservative opinions but with liberal, moderate or indifferent views on social issues such as abortion, censorship, and gay rights..They are more likely to have attended prestigious colleges and universities than other Republican Party members.”

    “The vice president was thinking about going on Joe Rogan’s show, and a lot of the younger progressive staffers pitched a hissy fit. Supposedly, the campaign said that that wasn’t a determinative factor, but they did,” Carville insisted.

    “You’re 23 years old. I don’t really give a s**t what you think.

    “If I were running a 2028 campaign and I had some little snot-nosed 23-year-old saying, ‘I’m going to resign if you don’t do this,’ not only would I fire that motherf**ker on the spot, I would find out who hired them and fire that person on the spot,” he railed. “I’m really not interested in your uninformed, stupid, jacka** opinion as to whether you go on Joe Rogan or not.”

    Over at DKos, they are saying Starlink stole the election.

    “The statistics behind Stephen Spoonamore’s concerns about election results are alarming. Spoonamore is a data security expert and whistleblower who has been analyzing voting results for decades. And this is the first time since 2004 that he’s been persuaded to send a candidate (namely, Kamala Harris) a “Duty to Warn” letter.

    In it, Spoonamore not only outlines how the election may have been stolen, but says he believes a hand count of ballots will prove it.

    “In my view it is a near certainty the results have been changed at a scale which reversed the US presidential election,” asserts preeminent computer hacking expert Stephen Spoonamore, in a “Duty To Warn” letter addressed to Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday. “I am stating a hand count will most likely show you did win.”

    According to Spoonamore, Elon Musk’s company, Starlink, could have been used to create bullet ballots, and we wouldn’t see a trail — unless we knew where to look.

    In other words, it would be the perfect crime

    …If you’ve been wondering why Musk confidently left the GOP event on election night, quipping, “It’s over, we won!” even before they had, maybe it’s because he used his proprietary access to the the vote tallying system to inject the votes needed to ensure Trump would win. Perhaps it was “over” because Musk had just fixed the results.

    Or maybe this is why Trump boasted, “I don’t need your votes,” during his rallies before the election. Even Rachel Maddow was perplexed by this. Why would Trump keep saying, I don’t need your vote?” One explanation: If this plan was in place, Trump knew he would win no matter how we voted.”
