Be John Galt

We are two days from being bombarded by governmental and corporate pride celebrations. The government will be flying rainbow flags, even in countries where the LGBTQ+++ movement isn’t welcome. Companies will be twisting like pretzels to demonstrate how woke they are as they redesign their logos in rainbow hues.

Meanwhile the Bud Light boycott shows no sign of letting up. Over the Memorial Day Weekend, Anheuser Busch was virtually trying to give its beer away with rebates that were sometimes greater than the cost of a case of Budweiser or Bud Light.

However, AB Inbev apparently hasn’t learned much from its >$10-billion loss in market cap. Bud Light has been announced as a sponsor of the Cincinnati LGBTQ++ parade along with Planned Parenthood and the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, which promotes gender affirming procedures.

Over the weekend more news about Target’s ties to the LGBTQ++ movement became known.

A Target Corporation senior executive in the marketing department maintains a position with a controversial K-12 advocacy organization called GLSEN – Target’s Pride Month partner – which is focused on integrating gender ideology at all levels of K-12 schools, from curriculum to district policy.

Carlos Saavedra is a vice president of brand marketing at Target and a treasurer at GLSEN. GLSEN focuses on getting districts to adopt policies that will keep parents in the dark on their child’s in-school gender transition, providing sexually explicit books to schools for free, and integrating gender ideology at all levels of curriculum in public schools.

Target and Saavedra did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“GLSEN leads the movement in creating affirming… and anti-racist spaces for LGBTQIA+ students. We are proud of 10+ years of collaboration with GLSEN and continue to support their mission,” Target said. The retail giant provides annual donations to GLSEN, which has amounted to at least $2.1 million.

Will the CIA, FBI and DNS permit it?

Former Deputy National Security Advisor K.T. McFarland doubts it:

Rewind to 0:00. For some reason this clip wants to start at the 7:50 mark.

In 2020 accusations against Donald Trump and claims by former intelligence agency personnel determined the outcome of the election.

Your thoughts?

Many US and global companies are pushing woke agendas in order of strengthen their ESG (Environment, Social, Social, Governance) scores spitting in the face of consumers and stockholders. ESG is being pushed by the elites (World Economic Forum, Black Rock, Vanguard and JP Morgan Chase). They affect companies’ ability to obtain financing and the rate at which they can obtain financing.

ESG scores have nothing to do with a company’s success or future growth potential. It is linked to the company’s adherence to woke ideology. It takes into account “stakeholders” rather than stockholders. “Stakeholders” are outside groups that have nothing to do with a company. “Stakeholders” could include activist groups like Black Lives Matter, radical environmentalist organizations or other left-wing groups.

The only way ordinary people and groups can fight back is financially. Some states (e.g., Texas) have stopped doing business with financial organizations like Black Rock and Vanguard who are trying to force their ideology on others. Another way to stop corporate domination is through boycotts.

The Bud Light boycott has been successful beyond anyone’s dream and it appears to be gaining strength.

Fall-out from Bud Light’s partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney is now spilling over and negatively affecting other Anheuser-Busch brands.

Bud Light retail sales were down 23.4% when compared to data analysis of late April last year, according to a report.

Fresh data from Bump Williams Consulting and NielsenIQ now show sales of other brands under the Anheuser-Busch beer umbrella have begun to spiral downward.

“It’s not just a Bud Light issue,” Bump Williams, the data consultant chief executive, said. “It’s an Anheuser-Busch portfolio problem now.”

Budweiser sales dropped 11.4% during the week ending on April 29, while sales of Bud’s Michelob Ultra beer brand took a 4.4% hit.

Smaller Anheuser-Busch brands, Natural Light and Busch Light, were also down with 5.2% and 1.8% drops, respectively.

Total Anheuser-Busch beer volumes fell 12.5% in the month of April as brands such as Molson Coors and Constellation Brands capitalized with respective 7.6% and 3.8% increases, according to Beer Business Daily.

Among the United State’s top 10 beers year to date, Bud Light and Budweiser are the only two to experience sales drops.

Bud Light and Anheuser Busch Inbev will likely never fully recover:

• Many former Bud Light drinkers have discovered a substitute that tastes better than Bud Light
• The Bud Light brand has become a joke – and not a funny one
• Beer drinkers are realizing that Bud Light and Budweiser are no longer American brands. They are owned by InBev, a Belgian company that has pushed its woke ideology on its American subsidiaries
• The  appeal to traditional American values through the Clydesdales, red, white and blue banners and flags and the “great American spirit” isn’t going to have much of an impact any more

Question: how can this spread to companies that are bad or, in some cases, even worse: Target, Procter & Gamble, Kellogg’s to name but a few?
