Caterpillar Revokes Woke Policies In Latest Victory For Conservative Campaign

DEI destroyer Robby Starbuck has claimed victory as another major corporation was forced to curtail their “diversity, equity, and inclusion” policies as part of a conservative campaign.

Industrial manufacturer Caterpillar is the latest company to remove its woke policies, following in the footsteps of a growing list of major corporations in recent months.

Training on diversity policies has been scrapped, while divisive events will no longer be funded by Caterpillar. The company will also withdraw from the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index – a measure of how pro-LGBTQ a firm is – while third-party initiatives which may be politically divisive must now be approved at an executive level.

Starbuck said Caterpillar’s 113,000 employees would “no longer be subjected to the insanity we found during our investigation,” but praised executives for taking the “unifying action”.

“Our campaigns are so effective that we’re getting some of the biggest corporations on earth to change their policies without me even posting a video first just from the fear they have of being the next company we expose,” Starbuck wrote on X. “The landscape of corporate America is quickly shifting to sanity and neutrality. We are the trend now, not the anomaly.”

Many had praise for the campaigner’s latest victory over a major U.S. corporation.

Another was impressed by the term “corporate neutrality”.

Kamala Harris’ $42 Billion Broadband Program Fails To Connect A Single Person To The Internet

Republican lawmakers have slammed Vice President Kamala Harris for the administration’s failure to expand broadband service to rural, unserved communities.

President Joe Biden previously tasked Harris with leading the administration’s $42 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program in 2021. However, the program has yet to connect a single person to the internet.

In a letter to the Vice President, nine GOP Senators criticized the Democrat’s presidential nominee, labeling her the “broadband czar” which, akin to her performance on the border, has been “marked by poor management and a lack of effectiveness.”

“Instead of focusing on delivering broadband services to unserved areas, your administration has used the BEAD program to add partisan, extralegal requirements that were never envisioned by Congress and have obstructed broadband deployment,” wrote the senators. “By imposing burdensome climate change mandates on infrastructure projects, prioritizing government-owned networks over private investment, mandating the use of unionized labor in states, and seeking to regulate broadband rates, your administration has caused unnecessary delays leaving millions of Americans unconnected.”

Many on social media were stunned by the $42 billion expenditure.

Others called for Elon Musk’s Starlink system to be installed across the country.

Survey Finds Most “Misinformation Experts” Are Leftists

A new survey has revealed the political bias behind “misinformation experts.”

Published by Harvard’s Misinformation Review, the report highlights how political affiliation impacts the analysis of a misinformation expert. 83% of the 150 experts polled lean left-of-center, while only 15 identified as centrist. No participants identified themselves as “fairly or very right.”

As part of the survey, the experts were divided into subgroups. Psychologists, for example, were more likely to view misinformation as a key factor in the 2016 U.S. election, while political scientists, often more moderate, were skeptical of its impact.

The findings come amid a heightened focus on “misinformation” – a term often used instead of “fake news” by the left. Concerns over Kamala Harris’ faltering campaign has prompted some media outlets to join the attack on Donald Trump surrounded by an army of “fact-checkers” and experts with left-wing viewpoints.

It does raise questions as to whether a correlation between the political leanings of the federal government and fact-checkers is somewhat Orwellian.

Springfield Resident Warned Of “Pretty Horrid” Incidents Involving Pets Six Months Ago

A resurfaced video of a Springfield, OH, resident warning of “pretty horrid things occurring to domestic animals” has gone viral on social media.

The clip from a Springfield City Commission meeting in March 2024 – more than five months before cat-eating allegations began – features one resident expressing concerns over the town’s influx of Haitian migrants.

“Our traditions laws and culture is 180 degrees different from what they’re used to,” the resident, who has not been named, told the commission. “One of the things I’ve heard that bothered me very much – I’ve actually had quite a few people contact me here lately – is some pretty horrid things occurring to domesticated animals in the neighborhood. We’ve had some stuff in the park that… again, they’re being taken advantage of for reasons other than…”

The resident was cut off by the commission, with one councilmember saying they had “heard about it too”.

Many on social media noted that the reports, from six months ago, were disputed in the ABC presidential debate on Tuesday, Sept. 10.

Others called for fellow commentors to share the story.

Broadcaster Stunned As Louisiana Democrat Encourages Trump Assassinations On Live Television

A Democrat in Louisiana publicly encouraged the assassination attempts against Donald Trump in a live call-in with C-SPAN’s Washington Journal.

The caller named Willie, who claimed to have served in the military for over 20 years, made the comments on Wednesday, Sept. 18 in which he said he was encouraged to “destroy the enemy by all means available”.

“I see we let this man (Trump) destroy America, and I look at it and see these two people had to step up and take that shot,” he said on national television.

A stunned John McArdle interrupted Willie and asked, “I’m sorry, you’re not advocating violence, are you?”

“Not violence,” came the response, “I’m defending my country.”

Many on social media were angered by the comments which saw Willie cut off before he could advocate anything else.

Other commentors on social media alluded to concerns by the Trump campaign over inflammatory language used by Democrats so far in this election.

New Study Disproves Historic Claim That Black Newborns Were More Likely To Die With A White Doctor

A historic study which claimed Black newborns were more likely to die in the hands of White doctors has been debunked.

The famous study from August 2020 claimed Black newborns had lower mortality rates when looked after by Black physicians. However, a new study has since counteracted these claims, which were widely reported by a number of mainstream media outlets, and even cited by Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson in 2023.

The original study omitted low weight births from the data, thus skewing it.

Birth weights under 1500g are more common in Black newborns (3.3%) than White (1.2%), subsequently leading to a higher mortality rate than first accounted for.

With the new consideration, the statistical differences became insignificant, and confirmed that birth weight is more influential in a baby’s survival than the skin color of the physician.

The new study also uncovered that White doctors were more likely to care for Black low-weight newborns than Black physicians, further disproving the original findings.

As such, the original research incorrectly skewed the data and claimed that “racial concordance” between newborns and doctors contributed to a higher mortality rate.

Effectively, the new study disproved the link between a doctor’s and a baby’s race, instead attributing lower birth weights to higher likelihood of mortality.

Alleged Police Report Surfaces Seemingly Confirming a Springfield Cat-Eating Incident

The Heritage Foundation’s legal department has uncovered an apparent police report from Springfield, Ohio, where a woman complained about her neighbors allegedly eating her cat.

The report dates from Wednesday, August 28 – around two weeks before cat-eating allegations went viral.

In a two-minute phone call, a woman named Anna called local law enforcement officials believing “her neighbors stole her cat and chopped it”, according to the unverified report. She requested a callout from officers who arrived just under an hour later at 3.30pm.

Anna told officers that her cat went missing four days prior and had not been seen since. She said she discovered “meat” in her backyard, which she believed to be from her cat.

There was no fur or bones around the meat, and it was unknown whether it was indeed from her cat. She suspected the Haitian neighbors, although officers wrote that there was “no evidence” to support her claim.

“Anna had collected the meat and put it in her fridge in hopes to get it cremated [sic],” officers added.

Many on social media were reminded of the ABC presidential debate where moderator David Muir said the city had received “no reports” of cat-eating incidents.

Others, however, noted the section where officers said there was “no evidence” to support the woman’s claim.

Relatives Of The Face Of The Washington Redskins Want His Likeness Back In The NFL

The family of John Two Guns White Calf, known as the face of the Washington Redskins, want the Blackfeet chief to return as the franchise’s logo.

Two Guns White Calf served as the face of the Redskins for nearly half a century from 1972 to 2020. Growing pressure from the George Soros-funded National Congress of American Indians forced the team to change its name and branding despite overwhelming support for the status quo among Native Americans.

Since its sale in 2023, the now-Washington Commanders has sought to retain elements of the team’s heritage with White Calf’s family pushing for his likeness to return to the NFL.

“The fans want him back and we want him back,” said his great nephew Thomas White Calf to Fox News, adding that the family was never consulted about the sudden overhaul.

“Our ancestor was the most famous and most photographed native in history. Two Guns was also the face on the Indian head nickel. I’m proud of him. The Blackfeet are proud of him.”

Montana Republican Sen. Steve Daines also met with the family regarding White Calf’s likeness and said, “It’s a point of pride and represents the rich Native American history that helped make our nation great, and it should be enthusiastically celebrated across our culture.”

The franchise reportedly has no intention of reverting back to its former name – something which was highlighted by commentors on social media.

Nevertheless, it seems fans from all franchises want the Redskins name to return to the sport.

Trump Campaign Details “Inflammatory, Violent Rhetoric” Used Against Former President

Donald Trump’s campaign released a damning email to supporters on Monday, Sept. 16 highlighting more than 50 instances where Democrats have labeled him a threat to democracy.

The former president was the target of a second assassination attempt in two months when a suspect was discovered aiming a rifle towards the Trump International Golf Course in Palm Beach, FL, where Trump was playing a round on Sunday, Sept. 15.

58-year-old Ryan Routh has been charged with federal gun crimes in relation to the attempt on the former president’s life. His voting record and donation history revealed him to be a supporter of the Democrats for several years.

The Trump campaign has since emailed supporters dozens of instances where prominent Democrats have used “increasingly incendiary rhetoric” against the former president. Many examples feature Trump and his supporters being referred to as a “threat” to the United States or democracy itself.

Among them include the following – to give just a sampling of the rhetoric leading up to the second assassination attempt:

And not surprisingly, after the second attempt on Trump’s life the rhetoric against him hasn’t toned down one bit. But that was to obviously be expected, as the rhetoric only escalated following the first assassination attempt. Team Trump provided plenty of examples of that too:

Also featured are a number of examples of inflammatory rhetoric used against Trump between the two attempts on his life. While including comments by lower-profile Democrats, the campaign also highlighted instances by liberal commentators and broadcasters.

“Democrats and the Fake News must immediately cease their inflammatory, violent rhetoric against President Trump — which was mimicked by yesterday’s would-be assassin,” Trump’s campaign added.

A 150-second video of notable clips was shared on social media by the End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) account on X.

Commentors online added to the countless list of examples in response to the clip.

Many also criticized the inflammatory rhetoric used by the left.

Kamala Harris Steals Yet Another Policy Pledge From Donald Trump

Kamala Harris has stolen yet another policy from her Republican rival Donald Trump in her bid to become president.

The Vice President announced the pledge at a rally on Friday, September 13 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Under her “new” policy, Harris would remove all unnecessary four-year college degree requirements for federal jobs.

“For far too long, our nation has encouraged only one path to success,” she told supporters in the swing state. “Our nation needs to recognize the value of other paths, additional paths, such as apprenticeships and technical programs. As president, I will get rid of the unnecessary degree requirements for federal jobs to increase jobs for folks without a four-year degree… understanding that requiring a certain degree does not necessarily talk about one’s skills.”

Harris added she would “challenge the private sector to do the same” if elected president.

Many on social media recollected the policy from the previous administration. On June 26, 2020, then-president Trump signed an executive order stating skills would be prioritized over a college degree when applying for federal jobs.

Many noted that this was not the first policy Harris had pinched from her rival’s campaign. Key Trump pledges such as “no tax on tips” have been copied by the Democrat so far in this electoral cycle, while the Biden-Harris administration’s continuation of Trump-era policies led to the Republican offering the Vice President a MAGA hat during the presidential debate on Tuesday, Sept. 10.
