In case you need a reason to drink real beer instead of the dishwater mass marketed as “light beer,” Anheuser-Busch has established the moonbat bona fides that are so crucial to corporations these days by choosing the gut-wrenchingly repulsive transvestite Dylan Mulvaney as the surgically disfigured face of Bud Light:

Someone missed the memo that people who identify as 6-year-old girls shouldn’t be drinking beer — or even Bud Light.

As with Dylan Mulvaney’s shtick in general, some are still hoping this is a joke of some kind. But there is nothing funny about what transsexuals have been duped into doing to their bodies. Despite making big money and getting invited to the White House with his female impersonator act, even Mulvaney is having second thoughts:

Take heart, Mr. Mulvaney. At least Hollyweirdos will still literally kneel before you, even if you did irrevocably reduce yourself to a freak. At least you have not had your genitals cut off, as Joe Biden advocates doing to children.

It turns out the sanctions imposed on behalf of the corrupt, authoritarian regime in Ukraine are having an effect on Russia after all — by insulating it from the banking crisis that moonbattery mixed with irresponsible monetary policy has set off in the West:

Top Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday, according to the Russian state news TASS agency: “Our banking system has certain connections with some segments of the international financial system, but it is mostly under illegal restrictions from the collective West.”

But Peskov added: “We are, to a certain extent, insured against the negative impact of the crisis that is now unfolding overseas,” suggesting that he believes Russia may fair better than other countries tied into the Western banking system.

Last February, Russia was banned from the international banking service SWIFT.

The ban initially caused chaos for the Russian economy and banking system, with the Ruble currency collapsing as millions of concerned Russians tried to withdraw their money from Russian banks. However, despite the early turmoil, the Russian currency ultimately rebounded to on par with pre-war levels, with the currency being propped up, in part, by Moscow’s ability to continue to sell its energy — albeit at a discount — to willing buyers such as India and Communist China.

Meanwhile, our energy prices remain high, helping to hold prices up and the economy down.

Russia has many problems, but at least it doesn’t have to worry about a financial crisis brought on by the sort of woke kooks who crashed Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.

Credit Suisse is in a tailspin and looks likely to follow, despite a $54 billion bailout from Swiss taxpayers. The bank’s head of global markets may not be a self-described “queer person of color and a first-generation immigrant” like SVB’s Jay Ersapah, but he looks true to type in the era of corporate ESG:

On tips from Mr. Freemarket.

When hyperwoke Silicon Valley Bank collapsed, we were left to wonder where the money went. Some has turned up:

According to a new database by the conservative Claremont Institute, the collapsed bank donated or pledged to donate nearly $74 million to groups related to the Black Lives Matter movement. …

Two months after racially charged riots led to the most destructive outbreak of American political upheaval in more than a century, the bank joined the chorus of corporate firms touting their commitment to so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion.”

Giving money to Black Lives Matter makes clear what the DEI duckspeak actually means. BLM is a terrorist group that caused up to $2 billion in damages to advance an ideology based on black supremacism, Marxism, sexual depravity, and the destruction of the nuclear family. Its immediate objective during the riots that Silicon Valley Bank rewarded with $73,450,000 was to abolish local police.

Despite the money vanishing in a puff of smoke, BLM was successful. Local police were not actually abolished, but defunding, demonization, and demoralization marginalized them via the Ferguson Effect. Combined with liberal control of the “justice” system, the result has been violent crime spiraling out of control. We see ever more stories like this:

That’s what the SVB wokesters bought with their $73,450,000. Oh wait, I forgot the likeminded Biden regime is predictably bailing them out. I should have said, that’s what they bought with our $73,450,000.

SVB isn’t alone. Corporations have poured a staggering $82.9 billion into Black Lives Matter.

Instead of putting its money into investments that generate wealth, the liberal establishment pays rioting scum to burn our country down in the name of radical leftism, secure in the knowledge that the Democratic Party will bail them out at public expense when they fail. No wonder the economic outlook is so bleak.

Unsurprisingly, other banks run by moonbats are following Silicon Valley Bank down the crapper. Next to discover the truth of the maxim “Get woke, go broke” was Signature Bank:

Signature Bank was closed by regulators on Sunday, the second massive bank failure in three days.

The New York-based bank faced a crisis of confidence after midsize lender SVB Financial Corp. was seized by regulators on Friday. … The failure is the third-largest in U.S. history.

Second largest is Silicon Valley Bank.

Signature board member Barney Frank, the former congressman who formed one half of the landmark Dodd-Frank financial law after the 2008 financial crisis, said Signature suffered a bank run of billions of dollars on Friday.

Taxpayers are on the hook:

Signature customers will get all of their deposits back, including money above the $250,000 limit for federal deposit insurance, banking regulators said.

Because not even Democrats can confiscate other people’s money as fast as they fling it to the four winds, they will bail out the customers at least in part with money that does not exist. Like the Inflation Reduction Act, this will drive inflation even higher, resulting in more economic havoc, resulting in more bank failures.

A joint move by the Federal Reserve and Treasury Department took the extraordinary step of designating SVB and Signature Bank as a systemic risk to the financial system, giving regulators flexibility to backstop uninsured deposits.

The end goal of encouraging banks to invest irresponsibly in sophomoric moonbattery, then swooping in to seize control and bail out investors with taxpayer money, is to incrementally nationalize the banking system.

Here’s what Signature Bank focused on rather than sound investments:

A seminar on gender-neutral pronouns hosted by Signature Bank just months before its collapse … featured its chairman Scott Shay along with corporate consultant on gender issues Finn Brigham.

Video of the seminar, which goes for more than an hour, shows Brigham and Shay delivering a lecture about ‘pronouns’ with the ultra-woke company seizing the opportunity to laud their title as the ‘first bank in the United States to have an openly gay man on the board.’

That would be the conspicuously homosexual Democrat Barney Frank. Yet other Democrats tell us that these banks are failing not because of their reckless monetary policy, but because part of Dodd-Frank was repealed.

Brigham, who works as director of project management for the Manhattan-based nonprofit Callen-Lorde Community Health Center – an LGBTQ health clinic – identifies as a ‘genderqueer trans masculine person.’

Too bad they didn’t bring on someone who identifies as a competent banker. But they were too busy wallowing in gag-inducing crap like this:

To quote the only guy who has been giving even more money to Democrats than disgraced fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried,

That’s why Silicon Valley Bank CEO Greg Becker, ignoring the advice of CNBC clown Jim Kramer, sold $3.6 million worth of stock in his own bank less than 2 weeks before it collapsed. The time has come to jump off the ESG train, which is going off the rails:

A head of risk management at Silicon Valley Bank spent considerable time spearheading multiple “woke” LGBTQ+ programs, including a “safe space” for coming out stories, as the firm catapulted toward collapse.

This collapse was the second largest in American banking history.

Jay Ersapah, the boss of Financial Risk Management at SVB’s UK branch, launched initiatives such as the company’s first month-long Pride campaign and a new blog emphasizing mental health awareness for LGBTQ+ youth.

Jay explains her qualifications to protect investors by managing risk:

“As a queer person of color and a first-generation immigrant [yadda yadda yadda].”

Jay has been a big success:

Her efforts as the company’s European LGBTQIA+ Employee Resource Group co-chair earned her a spot on SVB’s “outstanding LGBT+ Role Model Lists 2022,” a list shared in a company post just four months before the bank was shut down by federal authorities over liquidity fears.

Being woke, SVB pushed not only sexual perversion but also nonwhiteness and of course the global warming hoax. Check out the title of this SVB press release from last year:

Silicon Valley Bank Commits to $5 Billion in Sustainable Finance and Carbon Neutral Operations to Support a Healthier Planet

Do not entrust your money to flaky ideologues — speaking of which:

[A]s recently as March 7, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was urging faster please on ESG [i.e., SVB-style corporate moonbattery]. “A delayed and disorderly transition to a net-zero economy can lead to shocks to the financial system,” she said.

The Biden Regime will probably further inflate the currency to finance a massive bailout of SVB, ensuring a more painful reckoning for all of us when the ESG house of cards inevitably collapses.

Fortunately, not everyone in the government is as clueless as Yoda’s Aunt Janet:

To be sure, plenty have been warning about the dangers of ESG, including House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) and also some of those directly tasked with growing and safeguarding pension funds, such as West Virginia State Treasurer Riley Moore. There’s even a new network of right-leaning investment overseers, the State Financial Officers Foundation.

We don’t have to let the contagion spread until the entire economy follows SVB down the crapper. There may still be time to pry Democrats loose from power.

The moonbats running Disney are custodians of American popular culture. That has put them in a position to stuff another piece of Americana down the memory hole:

The iconic song “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” has been removed from Disneyland’s Magic Happens parade, presumably because it originated from the controversial 1946 feature Song of the South.

Disney also closed the classic Splash Mountain ride at Disney World because it refers to Song of the South, which has been erased because it is now regarded as thoughtcrime.

“Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah” entered the American zeitgeist in 1946 when black American actor James Baskett performed it in the part-animated/part-live action movie Song of the South. Baskett would make history by becoming the first black man to win an Oscar for his portrayal of Uncle Remus and “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah” would go on to earn its rightful place in the American songbook.

That rightful place has been revoked because “racism.”

The advertising industry is among the many pillars of the establishment that leftists have subverted. Consequently, ads often serve primarily to sell not the product or service ostensibly being advertised, but leftism. A current ad for menstrual pads pushes this to the point of absurdity by featuring what appears to be a man:

The Blaze reports:

A 15-second promotion for Always Infinity Pads with Flexfoam features either a man or a transgender man [i.e., a woman posing as a man who may have had her breasts surgically removed] in its commercial in support of “all bodies.”

“No two bodies are the same. Some pads never got that message,” the commercial begins, before promoting that the product “fits all bodies.”

The actual message is that men can menstruate. Whether the skinny black character really is a man does not matter according to liberal dogma, which holds that you are whichever sex you present yourself as.

Before long, the Democratic Party will pass federal legislation either banning menstruation or making it mandatory for everyone. For now, we can thank corporate moonbats for upholding gender equality.

Always is a brand of Procter & Gamble, which is always at the vanguard of obnoxious wokeism, and which has already endeavored to divorce menstruation from womanhood.

The point is not so much to sell menstruation pads as to normalize moonbattery and ram it down your throat. Yet not even Procter & Gamble is woke enough for some:

A Twitter user took a different perspective, however, criticizing the ad because the company hasn’t “gotten the f***ing message that not everyone who menstruates is a woman.”

Actually, yes, 2 + 2 = 4 and everyone who menstruates is a woman, regardless of whether such facts contradict liberal ideology.

Nonetheless, Always is not the only menstrual product to target men:

A different company called L, which specializes in organic tampons, is currently running an ad campaign featuring a male content creator named Jeffrey Marsh.

Or maybe it really is vomit because you just watched a Hershey promo campaign featuring a transsexual freakazoid acting sexy to celebrate International Women’s Day:

Users spoke out about the iPhone’s Clean Energy Charging feature, which Apple introduced in the iOS 16.1 update in October 2022. The feature reviews reports of carbon emissions from local power plants and uses that information to determine if and when the phone recharges.

Disney’s attempts to promote homosexuality to children (Lightyear, Strange World) have been bombing at the box office. Pixar’s chief creative officer Peter Docter explains why:

“I think probably what we’ve ended on in terms of what went wrong is that we asked too much of the audience.”

If the audience were more worthy, it would not object to a lesbian kiss or the axing of rare conservative actor Tim Allen.

Lightyear…

…almost certainly lost money when marketing costs are factored in. …

By comparison, Toy Story 4, which featured Allen, generated over $1 billion at the box office against the same budget.

Despite its disdain for its audience, Disney isn’t incapable of learning lessons from the real world outside its corporate climate of pure moonbattery. It is bringing back Allen for the next Toy Story movie. We’ll see if it has learned to leave out the pushy LGBT activism.

The Virginia Military Institute, alma mater of the great George Patton, tragically succumbed to the Long March Through the Institutions. A Moonbat of Color has been put in charge of subverting it to serve the leftist racial agenda. But an attempt is underway to restore the USA’s oldest public senior military college.

The New York Post reports:

Cedric Wins, 60, launched diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives after taking the helm of VMI in October 2020.

He laid out a five-goal plan for “Inclusive Excellence” by citing the mission to “achieve and maintain a more diverse and inclusive student body, faculty, staff, and administration.”

“Inclusive excellence” is a classically Orwellian oxymoron. The point is to sacrifice excellence to “inclusivity” — i.e., the exclusion of the core population of white male heterosexuals in accordance with cultural Marxism.

Wins’ classmates of 1985 are not ready to give the school up as lost:

Ex-Marine Matt Daniel, 60, a fellow “brother rat,” as VMI classmates are known, founded a political action committee dubbed “Spirit of VMI” to fight the 183-year-old school’s new progressive efforts.

The group is shining light on the lucrative scam that is exclusionary “inclusion”:

Spirit of VMI has questioned why the school’s Board of Visitors awarded Wins a $100,000 bonus on top of his annual salary of $656,000 — despite a 25 percent drop in enrollment.

Wins has in the past denounced Daniel as being “racist.” No doubt Daniel will be clubbed with the accusation again for trying to prevent his school from being flushed down the toilet.

Success is hardly assured, but a Marine doesn’t stop fighting a war that isn’t over. Neither should any of us.

The wokest corporation in America corrupts impressionable children with more moonbat malice:

Disney has released the second season of “The Proud Family: Louder & Prouder,” a children’s show promoting a Critical Race Theory-inspired interpretation of history.

Clips from the colorful kids cartoon show an ensemble of characters repeating the phrase “slaves built this country,” in reference to the United States.

Slaves picked some cotton in the South going on 2 centuries ago. They did not build this country. America was built almost exclusively by the white men liberals demonize.

No constructive purpose can be served by telling vicious lies to stoke a sense of grievance in minorities. It is straight-up cultural Marxism, a tactic designed to destroy the country by turning it against itself.

Christopher Rufo reveals what children are fed by Disney, and who has been doing the feeding:

Disney has been brainwashing kids to despise their country, and to embrace anti-white race hate and sexual depravity. We couldn’t be worse off allowing the communist Chinese to take charge of children’s entertainment — which they eventually will, as Democrat rule renders us defenseless. Do not expect Disney to put up resistance:

Disney has cut an episode from The Simpsons that contains a reference to ‘forced labour camps’ in China from its streaming service in Hong Kong.

The episode two of season 34, ‘One Angry Lisa’, which first aired in October on television, is not available on the US company’s Disney Plus streaming service in Hong Kong…

In the episode, the character Marge Simpson is shown images of China’s Great Wall during an exercise class as her instructor says: ‘Behold the wonders of China: bitcoin mines, forced labour camps where children make smartphones.’

This isn’t the first time Disney has quietly complied with ChiCom censors:

In 2021, Disney removed an episode of ‘The Simpsons’ that made a reference to the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown when it first launched its Disney Plus service in Hong Kong.

The episode featured a visit to the square, which displayed a large sign saying ‘on this site, in 1989, nothing happened’.

Homer Simpson also called Chairman Mao a ‘little angel’ who killed millions.

Like Apple, Nike, the NBA, and the rest of the sanctimonious, morally rotten liberal establishment, Disney does not mind supporting oppression in China, righteously as they oppose the make-believe oppression of privileged minority groups.

No one will be surprised to read that the 1792 Exchange lists Disney as a maliciously liberal corporation:

The Walt Disney Company has fired employees, including celebrities, according to political views. Disney also threatened to move business out of Georgia if the governor signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in 2016. The company also has used its corporate power and money to support ideological groups and policies, like the Equality Act and the Southern Poverty Law Center. Additionally, Disney weaponized its PAC against election objectors, ceasing all donations to anyone who voted not to certify the 2020 election. It has leveraged its vast resources to fight state policies as well, using its money, content, and networks to object to Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act.

Esteemed countermoonbat Ron DeSantis steps forward to confront the leftist dragon:

DeSantis is relieving Disney of its control over a special tax zone in Orlando, Florida, ending the corporation’s 55-year-reign over the district…

“Florida is dissolving the Corporate Kingdom and beginning a new era of accountability and transparency,” DeSantis’ office said. “These actions ensure a state-controlled district accountable to the people instead of a corporate-controlled kingdom,” the statement added.

DeSantis is holding Disney legally accountable legally. It is up to customers to hold the evil kingdom accountable culturally.

As the cancer calling itself liberalism metastasizes, it becomes ever more difficult to boycott companies that bully on behalf of progressive politics. To this end, the 1792 Exchange has helpfully released a database rating the leftism level of over 1,000 companies.

The Daily Signal reports:

The database assesses the risk that “a company will cancel a contract or client, or boycott, divest, or deny services based on views or beliefs,” the 1792 Exchange says.

At a time when the culture wars increasingly are being fought, not just in Washington and state capitols but in boardrooms across the country, it’s a welcome development to have a resource to help determine whether your dollars are supporting companies that are neutral or companies that are working against you and your beliefs.

It is worthwhile to avoid companies that are hostile. Better still is to support companies that share your values:

New Founding’s Align specifically “showcases businesses that support our shared way of life and vision for America,” urging conservatives: “Don’t buy from people who hate you. Don’t let your money stab you in the back.”

Society has been sinking into a dispiriting morass of moonbattery. Fighting back even in small ways reminds us that the struggle against depravity and decay is not over. So long as a single countermoonbat remains defiant, it will never be over.

On a tip from Blackjack.

The people at Trans Cultural Mindfulness Alliance aren’t the only ones to have to walk back their moonbattery. Unfortunately for the woke panderers running Mars Inc., makers of M&M’s, they can’t claim to be parody:

Earlier this month, M&M’s creator Mars announced “all-female” candy wrappers to honor women who are “flipping the status quo.” The feminist-forward candy wrappers exclusively displayed M&M’s female characters: the green, brown and most recently introduced purple M&M. In addition to featuring only the three female M&M’s on the wrappers, each package in the limited run was expected to include only the corresponding green, brown and purple candy-coated chocolates.

“Inclusion” means excluding those who don’t belong to favored groups. This includes (or should I say, excludes) male candies.

The move was the most recent in a series of marketing moves M&M’s has made to promote inclusivity. Its previous announcement involved the introduction of the purple female M&M who represents body positivity and self-acceptance.

At least you can see why a candy company would want to promote the currently fashionable (among moonbats) notion that it is good to be obese.

The principle “get woke, go broke” appears to be forcing Mars Inc. to step back:

M&M’s dropped bittersweet news on Monday, announcing that the “beloved spokescandies” are too polarizing and that the cartoon chocolates would be put on an “indefinite pause” after widespread backlash to recent changes that were widely considered “woke.”

M&M’s announced that the spokescandies will be replaced by “the beloved Maya Rudolph,” formerly of the left-wing propaganda platform Saturday Night Live, so as to appeal not only to moonbats.

Some suspect this is not a rejection of wokeness but a setup for an irritating stunt in the company’s Super Bowl ad, which might look something like this:
