Rasmussen has a poll released today highlighting the corporate risks involved in entering politics. Coca-Cola now discovering the cost of corporate wokeism as 37% of respondents say they are buying less product during boycott.
Thirty-three percent (33%) of Black adults say they are less likely to buy Coca-Cola because of the company’s involvement in the Georgia election law controversy, as are 35% of White adults and 44% of other non-white adults. As noted by the National Pulse:
[…] Respondents were asked several questions, including, “Is it a good idea or a bad idea for corporations to become involved in political controversies?”
Overall, 62 percent of respondents said that it was a “bad idea,” with only 20 percent saying it was a “good idea,” and 17 percent saying they were “Not sure.” When asked if they had ever boycotted a company over “political issues,” 52 percent of those polled said “No,” while 41 percent replied “Yes.”
The third and last question on the survey asked: “After the Georgia legislature enacted a new election law requiring voter ID, Coca-Cola was one of the companies that publicly condemned the law. Does that make you more or less likely to purchase Coca-Cola products?”
Over a third of the respondents – 37 percent – said that they were “Less likely” to purchase Coca-Cola products due to the company’s interference. (more)
Perhaps one of the more telling statistics is that 45% of those aged 40 to 64 are boycotting Coke’s corporate wokeism. This demographic is a key group with the majority of consumer spending power during the peak of their income earning. Losing 45% of the U.S. market audience is a massive hit, even for a global (multinational) corporation.

Get Woke, Go Broke…
Keep up the boycott of all Coca-Cola products.
Obviously the massive multinational corporation cannot admit they made a mistake lest they get attacked by the extremists on the far-left; however, all of Coca-Cola’s recent moves since they stupidly put their company into the toxic political mess surrounding election reform legislation -particularly in GA- indicates the company is experiencing destabilizing impacts from the MAGA boycott. DO NOT RELENT !
(Bloomberg Legal) The Coca-Cola Co. announced Wednesday that it is moving legal chief Bradley Gayton to a “strategic consultant” role less than a year after he joined the company and promoting in-house lawyer Monica Howard Douglas to general counsel.
Gayton, who joined Coca-Cola on Sept. 1 and recently announced ambitious new diversity requirements for the company’s outside lawyers, will immediately become a strategic consultant to Coca-Cola chairman and CEO James Quincey.
[…] Coca-Cola spokesman Scott Leith, when asked about the impetus for its general counsel change or whether Gayton’s strategic consulting role is a permanent or temporary position, said the company would have no additional comment. (read more)
It is almost impossible to boycott all of the multinational corporations that are attempting to influence U.S. politics. However, if we focus like a laser on two or three: Delta Airlines, Coca-Cola and Major League Baseball, we can send a massive message that will hit the boardrooms of all others.
Take Coke down a few pegs…. and the rest will fall in line.

These statements should not come as a surprise as they are from the same ideological group, Obama’s crew. The White House and Valerie Jarrett are going back to the playbook where using race as a strategy to divide and conquer is deployed. This is Obama’s Alinsky playbook as deployed repeatedly.
.
JoeBama says “she was a child”, while JoeBama’s script writer says she was “in a knife fight.” Apparently pretending not to know the well built 16-year-old named Ma’Khia Bryant was shot while in the process of attempting to stab two unarmed teenage girls who were also black.
This is sociopathic level political manipulation by the Obama Chicago crew; the real team behind the administration. Continuing to push the ‘anger games’ in the United States is an ongoing effort of the Obama-minded leftists and communist activist groups who support them.
Obama doesn’t care, he doesn’t even hang out with black people, so long as the larger goals are achieved.
The Chicago crew want to advance radical leftist policies, destroy the American capitalistic system and fundamentally change the United States by diminishing it; while simultaneously keeping all the wealth under the control of an elite group of aligned interests.
Mad Maxine Waters opened up her capricious maw and out came calls for civil unrest and riots if BLM didn’t get the conviction they wanted from the Derek Chauvin trial.
“I know this, we’ve got to stay in the streets,” Waters said to a group of activists. “We are looking for a guilty verdict.”
“If nothing does not happen then we have to not only stay in the streets but we have to fight for justice,” she continued. “I am very hopeful and I hope that we are going to get a verdict that is guilty, guilty, guilty and if we don’t, we cannot go away.”
Waters hoisted herself on her own petard. Mad Max has given the defense in the trial a reason to call for the case to be overturned.
The judge acknowledged the influence of Mad Max’s unhinged rantings have done to the jury members who were not sequestered;
“I’ll give you that Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned.”
Riots do not replace the run of law. Although it seems like they have for the last four years with Soros funded Burn Loot Murder setting Democrat Blue Cities crumbling under arson and constant riots and looting.
This is not America. This is a third world country.
Even in the Democratic party where lunacy is rewarded, a few Democrats are upset with the unhinged Mad Max’s comments although Nancy Pelosi, Democrat Speaker of the house, won’t condemn or censor Waters.
Reminder- the Democrats put Trump through a second impeachment claiming Trump called for “insurrection” and civil violence. When Democrat congresswoman Maxine Waters actually calls for riots and violence….crickets.
Maxine Waters is a national embarrassment to the state of California and our country. She should be stripped her of the chairmanship to the House Financial Services Committee and removed from office, and in a just world, arrested for insurrection and inciting violence.
But don’t bet the farm on that. Nothing will happen unless WE MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Our schools choose their teaching staff by the color of their skin, not the content of their character or the extent of their knowledge, and the advantages that may be gained for the socialist-democrat party.
by Tabitha Korol
In a small, but vibrant, Middle-America community, there exists a public high school with a wall that proudly displays the achievements of past graduates, so that I welcomed reading the community’s magazine that boasted the school’s latest successes, cited as “diversity.” But it soon became clear that the diversity refers to the staff’s complexions and sexual dispositions. We search in vain for references to interests served, classes offered, careers sought, talents developed, and ingenuity encouraged, and we realize that another order of business is afoot.
America’s first schools, established in the 17th century in the thirteen original colonies, were designed to educate for literacy and arithmetic, but students under 17 were soon studying Greek, Latin, geometry, ancient history, logic, ethics and rhetoric. Law and medicine were introduced in the 18th century, followed by mathematics and philosophy. The academies provided a rigorous curriculum that stressed writing, penmanship, arithmetic and languages, and the children were successful; they and their progeny contributed to the makings of a magnificent republic. Horace Mann established that education should be free, universal, and non-sectarian, to aim for social efficiency, civic virtue, and character. Graduates were to be disciplined, judicious citizens, continuing the American desire for liberty, inalienable individual rights, and sovereignty. We were successful like no other but, sadly, we appear to have lost our way.
Diversity in America once meant that one could follow one’s dream by studying and working in any field of endeavor, unhindered by local or federal government. Beyond the basics defined by parents and state, the student was encouraged to forge ahead in any field, even in apprenticeship, with diligence and determination. Individuality was fortified as the only way one could strive and succeed.
Today’s diversity is designed to destroy that free will, as it identifies the students by race and assigns a victimhood that conditions toward societal conformity, known as Critical Race Theory. It is part of the Cultural Marxism that is already destroying our Judeo-Christian values and ethics so that the youth are immersed in racial differences, sexual immorality, dissension, and rebellion against authority. These include the delinquent youths, sociopaths who rage with Black Lives Matter, destroying property, our historic monuments, our morale and morals, and law and order – and conform to the new culture of revolution.
Consider the new tactics that have resulted in mass obedience – the coronavirus that has people paranoid about masking and social distancing; the politically correct speech that replaces rebellion with uneasy compliance; a belief system that forces impossible genders; the slur of “white privilege” that pardons one group for not succeeding while blaming the other for succeeding, shamed into curbing their efforts. The motive is to demolish western civilization by destroying all that defines America – religion, morality, respect for the other, work ethic, ingenuity, and success – and replacing it with a totalitarian ideology.
By indoctrinating the “of color” students that they cannot succeed because of whites and are consequently entitled to special privileges, the underclass is created. Undermining two-parent households, enacting affirmative action and other accommodations feed into the victim mentality. When they are encouraged to unite, they make more demands, such as acceptance into colleges and universities that would otherwise be closed to them. Once there, of course, these students are confronted with their deficiencies, but not with the causes. Crying foul encourages them to blame the privileged whites (read western civilization), but it also results in the schools’ downgrading the schoolwork. This is equity, reducing standards to mediocrity for all, a planned mediocrity that results in undereducated graduates unqualified for the job market. However, being of one mind, they are now ripe to be dedicated members of the socialist party.
The magazine article details the school’s diversity based on the inconsequential differences among the teaching staff and the children, contrary to Martin Luther King, Jr’s dream, that they would “not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” The interviewees actually compared the 72% white population of ten years ago with today’s 49%, the 15% black students with today’s 20%; the rise in Asians from 8% to 21%, and other groups. Never addressed is how the skin color and variable sexual preferences will help the children function in their adulthood, to form new families, to hold jobs and become responsible, creative, and innovative citizens to contribute to America’s growth.
As the staff were introduced, none spoke of what they hoped to bring to the classroom academically, or how their particular expertise would help the children flourish. No longer based on merit, they were hired on the basis of race, thereby emphasizing cultural sensitivities and preferential treatment. No one addressed the students’ learning skills, their personal growth, their exposure to better literature and music, their future pursuits, and the basics of civic responsibility. Our entire country has been made to focus on race, the main political strategy and indoctrination of the next generation. Lest we forget, racism was the official state ideology of Nazism – the superiority of the Aryan race uber alles. – and the cause of death for many millions of people worldwide.
The staff’s repeated focus on their own irrelevant attributes will affect the students’ judgments. Academia’s leftism sows discontent and creates their social warriors, but cheats them of a bona fide education. Students across America are deficient in reading, math, the arts and sciences, world and American history, our founding documents and, most importantly, critical thinking skills to analyze their world and succeed throughout life. Only 24% of high school seniors have proficient writing skills. Meritocracy and unity are forfeited for resentment, disunity, and obedience to the socialist party.
The director of Equity and Community Engagement duplicitously speaks of equity, which passes as equality to the underinformed. It ignores individual skills and acumen in the name of conventionality and equal outcome. Racism is the key to accomplishing this chicanery, as the children of color are infused with ideas that they’ve been victimized by the entire Caucasian race. Their individualism and freedoms thus stifled, their discomfort level heightened, the stressed children blame their parents for their genetic makeup, the whites for their history, and the school because they are aware of their own illiteracy and undereducation.
When Bill Gates recently declared that math is racist, and that correct sums are unnecessary, he is intentionally forcing the damaging obsession with racism. Although research shows that Asian students generally outperform other students in math, the leftist agenda is to accuse white students of excelling at the expense of children of color, further debilitating the latter. An obliging academia vindicates them, justifies their defeatism, and confirms that they will never succeed, which, in turn, becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy that also fuels their fury. When they are accepted into universities based on their victim credentials (race, heritage, sexuality), but fare poorly because they were unqualified, these groups turn against the better students. Their emotional, intellectual, and social development is reduced to the common denominator – their basic instincts to blame others based on race. These are the triggers used by all totalitarian regimes to inflame the children into violent warriors – Islam, Nazism,
Marxism.
.The head of Human Resources speaks of hiring teachers by their skin tone and comfort level, and his need to hire one more LGBTQ teacher to negate the first teacher’s “lonely feeling.” Is this a school environment or a squirrel’s larder?
Another teacher believes she is qualified to teach social studies by virtue of her skin color. How is that valid? As this teacher is African-American, should her class also be 100% color coded? And how long before the schools completely exclude the whites from the classroom, as the Nazis did the Jews, as this becomes an all-too-possible threat in universities across America?
The Middle School guidance counselor alleges a goal of teaching children to be proud of who they are, but not that we are all humans with the same needs and citizens of the same school, state, and country. This is but more reinforcement to their differences as they are further marginalized and intolerant of others. Colleges are already breeding grounds for radicalism, and the high schools are beginning the indoctrination sooner. In fact, racism, sexuality, pornography – even depravity – have already been introduced to Kindergartens and libraries.
Identity politics should never be underestimated, as it is how the Nazis conducted their hate campaigns and the communists their class struggle. The schools are engaging in social engineering, psychologically manipulating the students so that racism becomes the chief consideration. The victims, a coalition of all the minorities, are to become the dominant culture, always morally right, never challenged, and entitled to sympathy and concessions. The previously dominant culture becomes the new victims, but never to rise again. The insidious bigotry has been sown. Under the careful tutelage of complicit personnel, the students have been frightened, demeaned and demoralized, the ideology ingrained. Marxism survives, waiting in the wings for the throes of our decline.
In the words of George Orwell, “You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty, and then we shall fill you with ourselves.”
Parents still have time to fight the schools’ hold over their children or remove them from the schools entirely. Start yesterday, because these ideologies never end well.

According to numerous media reports the Minnesota jury has reached a verdict in the trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin. Fourteen days of trial and approximately 9 hours of jury deliberation (last night and this morning). The verdict will be announced momentarily….
UPDATE: 5:06pm ET….GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS
.
Those who follow politics closely know there’s very little chance of a not guilty verdict. Too many political operatives and big interests at stake.

Last night Fox News host Tucker Carlson did a lengthy historical review of California Congresswoman Maxine Waters and how she has requested and supported violence for several decades. While many people know about Waters’ use of race as a tactic to advance division, the compilation of her support for violence is very disturbing when viewed in total.

82-year-old Maxine Waters is one of the most vitriolic racial antagonizers in the nation. During the George Zimmerman trial Maxine Waters demanded a guilty verdict. During the investigation of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson she demanded a murder indictment based on the demonstrably false “hands-up, don’t shoot” claims. After the 2016 election Waters demanded that people physically confront Trump officials in restaurants and gas stations, “get up in their faces” and make them uncomfortable; in short, Maxine Waters consistently demands political violence.
There is zero doubt in my mind that Obama’s crew of racial antagonists are orchestrating and manipulating events around the trial of Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd. All political arrows are being deployed from the quiver of racial hate and division. Even the racially driven comments by Meghan Markle on the eve of the trial beginning were not random. The activated political leftists are once again drum-beating for violent confrontation.
Following her pattern, the California representative traveled to Minnesota’s riot-plagued Brooklyn Center last night and called for people to get even “more confrontational” if Derek Chauvin is acquitted. She is blatantly endorsing political violence and mob anarchy. “We’re looking for a guilty verdict” she said, adding “If we don’t, we cannot go away, we’ve got to get more confrontational.” WATCH:
I seriously doubt that people understand the true implications of how these governments have handled this pretend pandemic which has a kill ratio of a minimal 0.028%. This has been a grab for power and it will not end with everyone getting vaccinated. Even after the deluge of vaccines, they may allow the reopening of theatres, cinemas, hotels, and restaurants. People may return to commuting to work (unlikely), but the idea that this pandemic is nothing but a bad memory and they will put this all behind us, well, no such thing will take place.
This pandemic has been orchestrated right from the start. The United Nations sold pandemic bonds, and if they declared there was a pandemic, they did not have to repay. They fleeced all those investors and now only a mindless idiot would dare buy another. There have been countless after-effects from bankruptcies, job losses, countless fake studies with predetermined conclusions, and teenage suicides because their dreams of a future vocation were erased. All the pension funds and unions have been destroyed during this fake pandemic. There is no hope of returning to normal.
From here on out, every time society sneezes, governments will exert this newfound power. In their goal of wiping out the next disease, they can lock down the people and revert the world into a communistic prison camp. There will be endless emergences of new variants resistant to the current vaccines, for viruses are a form of life that will adapt to carry out their objective — to reduce the population whenever possible. There will be new lockdowns while waiting to produce billions of doses of new vaccines that will once more get emergency approval without long-term testing. Where governments were once there to protect society from untested drugs, today they are in league with the pharmaceutical industry because it justifies their power.
The discussion of climate change and overpopulation continues behind the curtain and this is no different from mass genocide to save the planet. We will have to endure this treatment every year, for decades to come; for this disease and no doubt for many others are now the source of political power. We will then have to decide if life is worth living in an internment camp, which is what they are transforming society into while simultaneously pushing the cancel culture and this woke movement designed to keep society divided to prevent a revolution.
Even Amazon’s internal documents exposed that the company rates their stores using a “diversity index,” and determined the threat of unionization is “higher” at stores with “lower diversity.” This is what the WOKE movement is all about — DIVIDE & CONQUER! Julius Caesar was able to conquer Gaul despite being outnumbered more than 10 to 1 because the Gauls never united until it was too late. Even in the final battle during September 52 BC, Julius Caesar sealed his fate as a legendary military commander at the Battle of Alesia where his army of 50,000 Romans defeated 200,000 Gauls in what is now modern-day Burgundy, France. The Celtic tribes were never united. Caesar defeated the Belgae tribes as well as the Helvetia. Had they all united, Caesar surely would not have conquered Europe. Hence, keep your opponents divided and you will win. This is the entire object of the woke movement — divide and created hatred between the groups.

Today police released the body camera video of the police shooting of Wright during the traffic stop in Brooklyn Center. Police Chief Tim Gannon said the fatal shot was the result of an accidental discharge, and that the officer who shot Wright had intended to reach for her taser, but discharged a handgun instead.
… And the riots and looting began almost immediately.
