Young voters abandon Biden

 Naomi Lim, White House Reporter  "Younger people have become disenchanted with President Joe Biden, the septuagenarian rapidly losing support with the demographic that was wary of him during the 2020 Democratic primary.

"On average, fewer than 3 in 10 adults under the age of 30 approve of Biden's job performance as president, and a majority disapproves, according to online polling conducted by the Economist and YouGov. Biden's net negative 21 approval rating with the demographic is his worst among any age group, the organizations found. On top of that, Biden has a net negative 17 rating among people aged between 30 and 44.

"The Economist-YouGov findings suggest Biden's popularity is dropping fastest with younger people, who earlier this year rewarded him with a net 32 approval rating. Biden currently has a negative 5 rating among adults aged 45 to 64, and a negative 8 with those 65 and older.

"The Economist-YouGov polling is not an outlier, aligning with Quinnipiac University data. In Quinnipiac's first national survey of Biden's presidency in February, 18- to 34-year-olds gave him a net 12 approval rating while he scored a net 15 rating from 35- to 49-year-olds. That plummeted to a net negative 10 among the former and a negative 21 with the latter last month. . ."

Conservative Cancel Culture; "More Woke Companies To Avoid: List #4"

 The Blue State Conservative  "The epidemic of wokeness can infect companies in any industry. We’ve already seen it contaminate companies from the transportation, restaurant, banking, and online retail industries. Wokeness is all around us, and it’s unacceptable. Historically, many of these organizations are some of our favorite companies and brands who gladly take our money while trampling on our conservative values. Ceasing doing business with certain companies on our list may be difficult, if not impossible for some of us. But at the very least we must understand who these companies are if we want to have an impact.

 

The first three editions of this series are available here:

 

1. 12 Woke Companies To Avoid
2. More Woke Companies To Avoid: List #2
3. More Woke Companies To Avoid: List #3

 

[Note that prior to explanations and justifications for each company, we’ve listed the official company name, its stock trading symbol, the industry in which the company operates, and the company’s annual gross revenue and market cap (if available), with all figures represented in millions.]

 

#29: Best Buy. . .   "As Best Buy celebrates Pride month this year, we also recognize the challenges and continued attacks the LGBTQIA+ community has faced over the past year — especially transgender and gender non-conforming people.

We’re committed to creating an inclusive culture, both inside our company and beyond. We’ve achieved a 100% rating on the Human Rights Campaign (HRC)’s Corporate Equality Index for 16 years in a row, earning the distinction of being a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality." . . .

And then there is #34: Dick’s Sporting Goods

Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc   SYM: DKS   Retail – Sporting Goods    Rev: $9,584   MC: N/A

 

"Dick’s is still one of the largest players in the sporting goods lane, but they’ve struggled the last few years due to their wokeness, particularly with their anti-gun stance. Gun owners are passionate about the Second Amendment, and there are a lot of us. But Dick’s is more than just anti-gun. They posted the BLM-sympathizing black box on Twitter during those mostly peaceful riots and have openly supported BLM. Additionally, Dick’s is all-in with their celebration of LGBTQ pride. (Isn’t it ironic that a company called Dick’s is so prominent in their support of LGBTQ activism?)" . . .

Crowd Demands Arizona Attorney General Take Action Regarding Alleged Fraud in 2020 Election

The Epoch Times

"A crowd of more than 100 people rallied outside the office of Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich in Phoenix on Dec. 17 to demand the prosecution of any criminal activity associated with the 2020 election in Maricopa County.

"A contingent of police offers kept people off the front steps of the Attorney General’s office building except for event organizers and speakers.

"Those gathered called out not only for fair and honest elections but that Brnovich begin criminal prosecutions for alleged wrongdoing stemming from the 2020 election in Maricopa County, Arizona’s most populous county with over 2.5 million registered voters.

"Arizona state Rep. Mark Finchem (R) said that there “was at least probable cause if not clear and convincing evidence that we had significant discrepancies in the election.”

"Finchem said if there are “lower-level people in the food chain” that engaged in criminal activity” in the election, authorities could “try and flip them to go up the food chain.' ” . . .

Victor Davis Hanson and our miseducated youth

...But now, and for the better part of two generations, our proponents of cultural self-loathing, even more irrationally and reality averse, have taught the young to believe that all of our achievements and endeavors are mirages, and our entire history tainted with evil. Nonsense, of course. But the untutored young believe what their elders teach them.

Jared Peterson   "In a just and sensible America, Victor Davis Hanson would be chair of the history department at Harvard, teaching a mandatory and beloved course in the history of Western Civilization, to be followed in undergraduates’ sophomore year by his equally popular year-long course in American history, both of which would be emulated nationwide by most if not all American colleges and universities.  

"These courses would be fact intensive, and unlike the rather hagiographic picture students like this writer received during the 50’s, would not only emphasize the achievements of America and the West, but would honestly and rationally confront their infractions and low points. But the overarching message would be clear: Though imperfect, as are all human endeavors, the creative genius of the West has given humanity the vast majority of what has made the modern world superior materially and, through the Judeo- Christian tradition, preferable morally to much of the past; and America can fairly claim to be the finest model of a nation whose governmental and economic system has produced the most fairness,  prosperity and ordered freedom, for the largest percentage of its people, of any nation in history.

"But alas, this was not to be. Instead, since the seventies we have lost the better part of two generations of badly mis-educated American youth; and the inability of any American institution today to vigorously refute the patent falsehoods about our nation and the West being spewed by the woke left is a direct consequence of that tragic miseducation." . . .

Biden Tells. . .Black College Graduates About How He “desegregated restaurants and movie theaters” During Civil Rights Era*

*Title edited by TD because it looked too MSNBC and CNN-ish in the original form.TD

100%FedUp

"Yesterday, during a commencement speech to a group of black college graduates at South Carolina State, an HSBC, Joe Biden, who can barely read America’s real national anthem from a teleprompter, tried to make himself more relatable by telling the Black students he knows the words to BLM’s “Black National Anthem.” It’s hard to know if Joe is intentionally lying or if his completely fabricated stories from the past are a part of his dementia, but after he lied about knowing the words to an imaginary national anthem, Joe told a really big whopper—one that can be easily refuted.

"Hoping to make himself more relatable to the students, Biden shared a lie with them, “I got started in politics because of the Civil Rights movement,” he said. “I notice some of you are looking—I thought that you were wondering how does he know the Black national anthem? Well, because I sat in a Black church after going to 7 o’clock mass – I’m a practicing Catholic—at 9 o’clock on the east side getting ready to go out and desegregate restaurants and movie theaters.”

"Only Joe could combine a lie with an almost entirely incomprehensible statement." . . .
