Class Action Suit Hits Target for Moonbattery

Costco execs take note: now is not the time for doubling down on DEI and earning kisses from the likes of Al Sharpton. Americans are not in the mood for it. Ask Target:

Target was hit with a class action lawsuit [on January 31] after shareholders alleged the national retailer misled investors about the risks of its DEI initiatives, which led to consumer boycotts and its stock price to tank.

Tank it did:

Target’s stock price plummeted 22% on Nov. 20, 2024, destroying nearly $16 billion in market cap in a single day after the retailer reported disappointing earnings. The dive in prices came after Target became embroiled in a nationwide controversy surrounding its DEI and Pride initiatives.

Target has really shoved wokeness in customers’ faces:

The retailer faced severe backlash in 2023 after they sold “tuck friendly” female-style bathing suits and mugs displaying the term “gender fluid” as part of their Pride store displays. … Target’s sales fell 5.4% in the quarter ending Jul 2023, the first time its sales dropped in six years, according to the lawsuit.

Target’s LGBTification efforts have bordered on the satanic by involving products from Abprallen, which associates LGBTism with devil worship and advocates both.

In addition to misleading investors regarding the subordination of business interests to moonbattery,

Target allegedly had executives implement their DEI initiatives who had “disabling” conflicts of interest. Senior executive Carlos Saavedra and Vice President and Chief Food and Beverage Officer Rick Gomez both held positions at the LGBTQ rights organization GLSEN.

GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network) targets children for sexual corruption. This may appeal to the Democrat base but not to average shoppers.

Now Target is getting hit from both sides:

The company announced it was rolling back its DEI programs in January. In response, organizers of the Twin Cities Pride Festival have announced that the retailer is no longer welcome at the Minnesota parade.

The lesson for corporations: Stay out of the culture wars. Knock off with the social engineering. Stick to retail.

Al Sharpton Gives Costco Kiss of Death

Race thug Al Sharpton can’t lead boycotts against all the companies that are dumping the DEI policies that have alienated their customers, so he took the opposite approach by staging a “buy-in” for one company that is doubling down on antiwhite discrimination, Costco. This is likely to blow up in Costco’s face:

Costco shoppers warned that Al Sharpton’s involvement in a ‘buy in’ celebrating their DEI policies could be a ‘kiss of death’ for the retail giant.

Sharpton purchased gift vouchers for his mob to spend in the store. He has plenty of money to throw around, and not only because he refrains from paying taxes.

Sharpton was slammed for accepting a $500,000 payment from Kamala Harris’ team during the presidential election campaign just weeks before a gushing interview with her which aired on MSNBC.

Sharpton came to public attention by pushing the infamous Tawana Brawley hate hoax. His militant hostility toward Caucasians eventually earned him a spot at MSNBC.

Bud Light ended up with Dylan Mulvaney as the face of the brand; it cost them $billions. We’ll see what having professional race hater Al Sharpton as the face of Costco does for membership.

Kiehl’s Pushes Pubic Hair Font

Do we want transsexual creepazoids selling us beer? As Bud Light learned, we do not. Do we want ads for skincare products published in a pubic hair font to promote “body positivity”? We don’t want that either. Yet woke companies continue to push their tastelessness in our faces:

Kiehl’s, a pioneer in skincare for all, continues to champion inclusivity and body positivity with the launch of a bold new campaign introducing Pubic Display Type. This first-of-its-kind font, crafted entirely from actual human pubic hair, is a creative response to censorship and an unapologetic celebration of self-care for all skin, including intimate areas.

The “censorship” claim refers to stores that declined to repel customers with obscene imagery. Last year,

Kiehl’s unveiled a bold campaign showcasing authentic imagery of models with visible pubic hair, challenging conventional beauty standards. While this groundbreaking campaign sparked meaningful conversations, some visuals were censored in select store windows.

This L’Oréal brand now responds by doubling down on its woke obnoxiousness so as to “bring attention to the importance of embracing diversity and destigmatizing conversations about our bodies.”

Future markets will belong to whoever knocks off with the belligerent moonbattery and just sells the product.

Kentucky LGBTQ+ Bourbon Festival

Even as the country as a whole pushes back against the cultural rot known as moonbattery, social engineers continue to insert it into every nook and cranny of America. Did you think a bourbon festival in Kentucky would be a refuge from the social milieu associated with liberalism? Presenting Bourbon and Belonging:

Queer Kentucky, the celebrated Louisville founded nonprofit focused on uplifting LGBTQ+ lives through storytelling, culture, and action, is proud to introduce “Bourbon & Belonging: Kentucky’s Queer Bourbon Week”, the first LGBTQ+ inclusive Bourbon festival in the country.

Sponsors disappointingly include Bulleit and Maker’s Mark, who must have learned nothing from Bud Light’s demise.

The event took place last October, but don’t worry if you missed it. The Powers That Be will keep pushing this at us from every possible direction until they have achieved their objective of converting America into a San Francisco bathhouse.

Allstate CEO Chides Us Following Terror Attack

The attack on American civilization works in four stages. Moonbattery (1) infiltrates an institution, (2) subverts it, (3) reduces it to something contemptible, and finally (4) destroys it completely.

Corporate America is at Stage 3. Try not to grind your teeth as Allstate CEO Tom Wilson, looking like a woke corporate weenie straight from central casting, reacts to the latest Muslim terror attack by piously chiding America for being addicted to “divisiveness and negativity” and for not accepting the “imperfections and differences” of people like Shamsud-Din Jabbar:

Unsurprisingly,

Allstate previously triumphed their advocacy for DEI policies in a year end report, boasting about how the company employed a declining number of white men.

It would be hard to boycott all of them. But wherever there is a viable nonwoke option, take it.

Costco Doubles Down on DEI Moonbattery

People have had enough DEI and are starting to push back against a depraved ideology that systematically discriminates against them for being normal. Kamala Harris — the quintessential DEI candidate — was resoundingly defeated despite the full backing of the liberal establishment. Corporations that formerly pandered to DEI have been stepping back. Yet Costco doubles down:

In a notice for the annual shareholders’ meeting, scheduled for Jan. 23, 2025, the Costco board of directors unanimously recommended that shareholders vote against a proposal requesting a report on the financial risks associated with maintaining diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies. …

In other words, the board of directors did not merely defend DEI policies. Its members unanimously recommended that shareholders vote against even a simple proposal for honestly investigating the policies’ costs. …

Furthermore, Costco’s board filled its recommendation with the usual nauseating paeans to identity-based discrimination.

This constitutes a finger belligerently poked into the eye of the regular Americans comprising Costco’s customer base.

Paging Robby Starbuck

Or maybe the ball will start rolling without Starbuck this time:

Thus, a number of X users called for Costco to receive the “Bud Light” treatment.

Bud Light may be easier to live without than Costco. But there are alternatives. Walmart — parent of Sam’s Club — has abandoned DEI.

T.J. Maxx and Kia Double Down on Moonbattery

As Trump’s big win indicates, the tide has turned. Corporations that went all in for wokeness need to adjust accordingly, or they will be left high and dry.

Walmart, John Deere, Tractor Supply, Harley-Davidson, Jack Daniels, Lowe’s, and Molson Coors have all agreed to stop ramming so much moonbattery down our throats after Robby Starbuck exposed the excesses of their wokeness. Even ultraliberal Disney can smell the coffee:

Disney already forced its new “Snow White” star Rachel Zegler, whose personality is far more suited to the Wicked Queen, to apologize after she declared “f—” Trump and accused his supporters of “hatred” and “deep sickness,” wishing they would “never know peace.” Now the woke company has reportedly announced it is ditching a planned transgender storyline in a kids’ show. Disney/Pixar previous films with LGBTQ themes (Lightyear and Strange World) were flops, and Disney is finally getting the hint.

The floodwaters of moonbattery are receding at last. America is rejoining civilization by rejecting the LGBTification of children. Yet some companies did not get the memo:

Retailer T.J. Maxx and automaker Kia are listed as co-sponsors of a program that distributes LGBTQ-themed books to K-12 schools across the U.S., according to a Wednesday report from conservative nonprofit Consumers’ Research obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The initiative, titled the Rainbow Library, is run by national LGBTQ+ activist organization the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), and sends participating teachers books that push transgenderism and homosexuality onto kids as young as five, Consumers’ Research found.

It would be hard to imagine a more sinister organization than GLSEN, which focuses on sexually deranging children.

Paging Robby Starbuck…

Google Ad Is Belligerently Woke

In the olden days, advertising attempted to generate a positive attitude toward the product or service being advertised, so as to increase the customer base. Then political correctness got out of control. Now, the purpose is often to make potential customers gag with revulsion by ramming wokeness down their throats. As usual, Google is at the forefront of corporate moonbattery:

The tech giant produced a Christmas ad for its shopping aggregator featuring self proclaimed ‘nonbinary’ TikTok influencer Cyrus Veyssi prancing around in women’s clothing, mincing on about skin creams.

See if you can get through 24 seconds of it:

Evidently Google isn’t worried about losing customers, due to the effective monopoly position that makes the odious company virtually impossible to avoid. This would beg the question, why bother to advertise — if we didn’t know that the entire objective is to subject us to moonbattery.

Moonbats Plot Black Friday Revenge Against Walmart

Walmart has joined the rapidly expanding list of companies no longer willing to subjugate sound business practice to the promotion of DEI/LGBT ideology. Leftists are responding predictably:

The Roebuck group is made up of activists, faith leaders and community members, it said in a news release, where it urged Alabamians to stop spending money at the store on Friday.

“We as community members recognize the power of our dollars,” the organizers wrote. “By choosing where it’s spent, a clear message is sent that corporations must prioritize supporting and uplifting minority communities.”

That is, corporations must devote their businesses not to making a profit by serving the population in general but to bestowing privilege upon politically favored communities at the expense of everyone else or they will be punished by thugs with bullhorns leading mobs of moonbats.

Fortunately, the dollars of regular Americans have power too.

Walmart Abandons LGBT/DEI Moonbattery

Lately, it has seemed that big corporations care more about ramming moonbattery down our throats than they do about the bottom line. But it just requires pushback to get them back on a sane course:

Walmart is making a slate of changes to its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, becoming the latest in a growing list of major corporations to halt the so-called “woke” initiatives.

Once again, Robby Starbuck took point:

No more shoving LGBT products at children. No more grants for community events intended to expose kids to sexual depravity. No more kneeling in obeisance to LGBT militants by participating in the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index. No more “LatinX” or even “DEI” in official communications. No more using suppliers that discriminate in the name of “diversity.” No more race-based financing eligibility. No more racial equity brainwashing through the Racial Equity Institute.

Corporate neutrality makes perfect sense from a business perspective. It is not too much to demand.

Walmart clarified that these changes have been in the works for a few years and were not a result of the conversation with Starbuck.

Whatever. So long as the changes get made.

Add Walmart to the list, along with John Deere, Tractor Supply, Harley-Davidson, Jack Daniels, Lowe’s, and Molson Coors.

It once would have been unthinkable, but belligerently woke Amazon and Target could be next.

Jaguar Lags Behind Bud Light

By now you have probably seen the creepy and repulsive new Jaguar ad, which has everything to do with moonbattery but nothing to do with cars:

The New York Post puts it in context:

Critics are calling the flop “Bud Light 2.0” after a video resurfaced of the company’s brand strategy director boasting about implementing DEI programs and policies at the company — like gender transitioning at work.

Bud Light lost $billions in market share by shoving Dylan Mulvaney in customers’ faces.

Speaking at an LGBTQ awards show last month, Jaguar’s head of brand strategy Santino Pietrosanti pulled back the curtain on the company’s changing culture — and bragged about implementing a woke agenda in the workplace.

One of the initiatives he boasted of is entitled, “Neurodiversity Matters.” “Neurodiversity” literally means “insanity.” The euphemism is used to destigmatize (i.e., promote) it.

Speaking of insanity:

The company has since hit pause on introducing any new models until 2026 while it gears up to relaunch as an all-electric brand — despite declining demand for such vehicles.

Meanwhile, this is the kind of ad Bud Light is running now in a desperate attempt to keep the brand alive:

We can look forward to something analogous from Jaguar within 2 years — assuming the company survives that long.

Target Embraces Christmas

We are used to Target ham-fistedly promoting moonbattery. The chain has lost $billions by pushing LGBTism even at innocent children. But Target’s Culture War stance may have taken a turn:

In 2011, Forbes published an article that included Target on the list of companies that had faced “a great deal of negative media coverage and consumer rejection” for “taking the word Christmas out of their advertising campaigns.”

Customers do not appreciate woke Scrooges at Target or elsewhere:

Lowe’s, Home Depot, Sears, Walmart, Target, Best Buy and GAP have all felt the wrath of believers when they abandoned Christmas for more generic wishes like “happy holidays.”

As far as Target is concerned, the War on Christmas appears to be over:

“How dare we speak Merry Christmas!” the witchlike Kamala Harris infamously shrieked. Her evil screams now fall on deaf ears.

Few people were ever wicked enough to be genuine moonbats. Most seeming liberals just let themselves be carried by what they regard as the prevailing winds. Democrats’ neo-Marxist ideology was always a poor fit for corporate America, yet it went along, even destroying brands like Bud Light out of sheer moonbattery. Now the winds are shifting, as Trump’s victory attests.

Countermoonbat Thomas Homan Named Border Czar

Turns out it really is darkest before the dawn. We are going straight from having the sick joke Kamala Harris as the Border Czar to no-nonsense patriot and former acting ICE director Thomas Homan.

Trump announced his excellent choice yesterday:

“I’ve known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders. Likewise, Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin. Congratulations to Tom. I have no doubt he will do a fantastic, and long awaited for, job.”

This confidence is well placed.

Watch and cheer as Homan offers the open-borders moonbats at 60 Minutes a glimpse of what they will soon be clutching their pearls over:

America is back.

Another University/Corporate Civil Rights Violation

Among the many aspects of moonbattery that need to be rolled back now that Democrats are getting pried from power is the systematic racial discrimination the liberal establishment has imposed — not only through the government but through universities and corporations:

Midwestern University and insurance company Delta Dental of Illinois, continue to offer five “Diversity Admissions Scholarships,” which exclude white students.

The discrimination against whites, Asians, and Middle Easterners is justified with the usual cultural Marxist duckspeak about “inclusivity and equity.”

The esteemed countermoonbats at Do No Harm are pushing back:

Senior Fellow Mark Perry told The Fix the program is “not legal.” He filed a Title VI complaint with the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights.

Perry’s complaint addresses the fact that the scholarship is open only to students from “underrepresented minority groups.”

Liberal ideology dictates that membership in “underrepresented” (i.e., politically favored) identity groups takes priority over individual merit. This doctrine was rejected by the American people when DEI candidate Kamala Harris went down in flames. Now comes the hard work of rooting this pernicious mentality out of the system, so that merit and individualism can be restored.
