Wow! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tractor Supply Co. Ditches Everything Woke, Declares It Won't Ever Touch DEI or Pride Celebrations While some corporations don't seem capable of figuring out that the American people aren't into woke policies and DEI initiatives, Tractor Supply Co. (TSC) seems to have deduced the secret code into keeping customers, and possibly even expanding their base. According to Filmmaker and journalist Robby Starbuck, TSC was found to have given $100,000 to an activist group that "worked around the clock" to stop deportations under the Trump administration. The group was called "Conexion Americas" and was previously headed by the National Council of La Raza, a George Soros funded organization. When Starbuck broke the news, Hal Lawton was inundated with posts from angry customers, causing him to lockdown his X account. Meanwhile, the company lost over $2 billion in market cap. After some silence by the company, it released a statement on Thursday that wasn't just a step back from the leftism the company had engaged in. It threw the car in reverse and slammed on the gas pedal. It made a list of five promises to its customers.

Squad Gives 21 Fire Alarm Salute For Their Fallen Comrade Jamaal Bowman [...] The Squad chose to honor him with a fire alarm salute because of his propensity for pulling fire alarms to delay votes.

BREAKING: Hamas Loses House Seat To Democrats NEW YORK, NY — In a stunning primary election defeat suffered by incumbent Congressman Jamaal Bowman, Hamas lost one of its seats in the U.S. House of Representatives to a Democrat. Though Hamas still controls valuable seats held by other lawmakers like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush, and Ayanna Pressley, the loss of Bowman's seat to the Democrats was seen as a serious blow.

This is NOT the Babylon Bee. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Denmark Taxes Cow Farts Because Everything Is Absurd In today's stupidest news, the tiny Scandinavian nation of Denmark will impose the world's first greenhouse gas tax on livestock farmers — with the accent on "gas." Beginning in 2030, Danish farmers will be taxed for "the greenhouse gases emitted by their cows, sheep, and pigs" via their rear ends. The gasses, not the taxes. The taxes come from Copenhagen's rear end. Taxation Minister Jeppe Bruus, according to the AP report, said the country aims to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to 30% of 1990 levels by 2030. And they'll achieve that goal, at least in part, by taxing cow farts. [...] https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2024/06/26/denmark-taxes-cow-farts-because-everything-is-absurd-n4930159

IDF Destroys Perfectly Good Bicycle Fadi Al-Wadiya was just riding his bike to the Doctors Without Borders clinic Tuesday morning when he was killed by the IDF in an attack in Gaza City.

It's still Wednesday in a couple of time zones, so there's still time for our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DIET A man burst into a doctor's office. He had a banana in his left ear, a rutabaga in his right ear, and a carrot up his nose. "What's the matter with me, Doc?!" he cried. "You're not eating properly," said the doctor.

Julian Assange is back in Australia after pleading guilty to conspiring to obtain and disseminate classified information. That admission was part of a plea deal that had been worked out between Assange, the UK, and the United States. He will not serve any additional time behind bars for his actions. So is this justice?

One down, in both senses. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SCOTUS Green-Lights Feds' Big Tech Censorship Scheme Ahead Of 2024 Election The U.S. Supreme Court reversed a lower court's injunction prohibiting the federal government from colluding with Big Tech companies to censor posts it doesn't like, effectively green-lighting the Biden administration's ability to carry out such operations during the 2024 election. "To establish standing, the plaintiffs must demonstrate a substantial risk that, in the near future, they will suffer an injury that is traceable to a Government defendant and redressable by the injunction they seek. Because no plaintiff has carried that burden, none has standing to seek a preliminary injunction," Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote for the court's majority.

Paul Sperry reveals the poisoning of previous debates and Jake Tapper's connection to it all, right as we face the current June debate. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ James Clapper, Mr. October Surprise: How Obama's Intel Czar Rigged 2016 and 2020 Debates Against Trump [...] In effect, the Intelligence Community conspired with the Biden campaign to deceive the electorate by creating a false talking point for Biden in the presidential debate, which some government watchdogs say constituted an unreported campaign contribution and a potential violation of federal campaign finance laws. [...] [...] Clapper, who was later hired by CNN as an official "national security analyst," had blatantly lied not only to the incoming president but also to the public. Again. And in effect, he had used Tapper, who's not only failed to correct the record at CNN, but finds himself in the position to grill Trump on Thursday night as co-moderator with Bash of the first 2024 presidential debate in Atlanta. https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2024/06/26/james_clapper_mr_october_surprise_how_obamas_intel_czar_rigged_2016_and_2020_debates_against_trump_1040444.html

Canada Officially Loses Recognized Country Status After Failing To Win Stanley Cup Again [...] "As much as it pains us to do this, we can simply no longer stand by and continue to pretend that Canada is a real nation," commented Secretary-General of the United Nations António Guterres.

This is pretty good advice in here. Does anyone think that CNN will let him say anything like it? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some Advice for Trump Ahead of the Debate [...] Trump, however, should not be overconfident. As I mentioned, voters saw him as the loser of both debates against this same opponent four years ago. Republicans often over-estimate Trump's prowess as a debater (drawing laughs and applause with zingers in partisan settings isn't the same skill as winning over undecided voters who may be tuning in for the first time in a general election). They also foolishly tend to set expectations bar too low for Biden. The bar should be defending his disastrous first-term record, which has driven his approval rating into the high-30s or low-40s. The bar should also be convincing the 70-80 percent of voters who believe he's not physically or mentally up for the job that they're wrong. These are two Herculean tasks, of which he is likely incapable. But if the expectation is set that he will physically stumble, freeze up, drool, and either fall asleep or constantly descend into incoherent gibberish, that's a bar Biden has a good chance of clearing. He still might flop badly, but Trump shouldn't count on that -- nor should Republicans build that expectation. However Trump chooses to prepare -- and reports suggest that process has been, shall we say, rather informal -- here are a few suggestions I'd pass along if I were advising his campaign: [...] https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2024/06/25/some-advice-for-trump-ahead-of-the-debate-n2640863

Wella, wella -- sounds like election interference, collusion, and possibly even insurrection. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bombshell Report Says Mike Morell, David Buckley Were on CIA Payroll When They Signed Hunter Biden Letter A bombshell report released Tuesday afternoon by the House Judiciary GOP claims that at least two of the 51 "former" intelligence officials who signed a letter discrediting the Hunter Biden "Laptop from Hell" as Russian disinformation were actually on the CIA's payroll at the time they signed the letter - despite actively asserting that they didn't have access to any classified information. Former Deputy Director Michael Morell and former CIA Inspector General David Buckley are the two signatories named in Tuesday's report as being on active contract at the time they signed the statement. Since the CIA "declined to declassify the entire universe of signatories who were on active contract," though, it's unknown how many signatories were both colluding with the Biden campaign and on the CIA payroll.
