One-third of likely black voters are less likely to purchase Coca-Cola after it spoke out against Georgia’s election integrity law — despite the false left-wing narrative that the law suppresses minority voters — a Rasmussen Reports survey released Wednesday found. Coca-Cola is one of the first companies to speak out against Georgia’s law, which improves election integrity in the state, even increasing the mandatory days for early weekend voting. During a March interview on CNBC, Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey called SB202, the election reform bill, “unacceptable” and a “step backward.” In an April 1 statement, Quincey added the company wanted to be “crystal clear and state unambiguously that we are disappointed in the outcome of the Georgia voting legislation.” He also said the company’s focus would now be “supporting federal legislation that protects voting access and addresses voter suppression across the country” — a likely reference to H.R. 1, or the “For the People … [Read more...] about Poll: One-Third of Black Adults Less Likely to Buy Coca-Cola After It Condemned Georgia Election Law

Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R-NC) said on Thursday it was “preposterous” and “insulting” for Democrats to frame black Americans as incapable of obtaining a photo ID to comply with voter-ID laws. Robinson was invited to testify as a witness before the House Judiciary Committee’s hearing entitled , “Oversight of the Voting Rights Act: The Evolving Landscape of Voting Discrimination.” Democrats and the broader left regularly frame voter-ID laws as racially discriminatory against blacks, including comparisons between such regulations and Jim Crow laws. Robinson said: Am I to believe that black Americans — who have overcome the atrocities of slavery, who were victorious in the civil rights moment, and now sit in the highest levels of this government — cannot figure out how to get a free ID to secure their votes? They need to be coddled by politicians because they don’t think we can figure out how to make our voices heard Are you kidding me? The notion that black people must be … [Read more...] about North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson: Insulting to Say Blacks Can’t Get a Free ID to Vote

Rep. Elaine Luria’s (D-VA) husband’s recent purchase of shares from electric vehicle carmaker Tesla, Inc. puts the Democrat congresswoman in a position to personally benefit off of President Joe Biden’s $2 trillion spending package should it pass through Congress. The spending package, which the Biden administration named the “American Jobs Plan,” includes $174 billion in electric vehicle incentives, a provision that would affect Tesla, which dominates in the electric vehicle market. Tesla’s shares rose five percent the day Biden introduced his plan, on March 31. Luria’s husband, according to a transaction report the congresswoman filed last week, purchased between $1,001 and $15,000 in Tesla stock on March 22. He also purchased stock in that same cost range in QuantumScape, a developer of electric vehicle batteries. Congressional members, as well as their spouses, are prohibited by law from making trades based off of privy knowledge gained through their role in office, … [Read more...] about Democrat Rep. Elaine Luria Could Benefit off Biden Infrastructure Bill After Husband’s Tesla Stock Purchase

Evie magazine unpacked analysis of a Pew Research Center survey published last year, and subsequently arrived at the compelling possibility that science is telling us left-wing ideology and mental illness are correlated. Andrew Stiles at the Washington Free Beacon drew attention Monday to the Evie magazine piece, published last week, showing the March 2020 Pew Research data revealed white liberals are more likely than other ideological/racial groups to have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder. With a focus on younger women’s health and relationship issues, Evie’s Elizabeth Condra noted that over 50 percent of white, liberal women under 30 have been diagnosed with a mental health condition at some point. “Are we worried yet?” she asked, weighing that while conservatives may label left-wingers as “snowflakes” or having been afflicted with “Trump derangement syndrome,” and the left identifies those on the right as “racists, bigots, misogynists, etc.,” the Pew Research … [Read more...] about Study: Young White Liberals More Likely to Have Mental Health Problems

Corporate America did not miss the opportunity to weigh in on the jury finding former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin guilty on three counts of murder in the death of George Floyd, with Twitter feeds flying and corporate statements pouring into email boxes since the decision was announced on Tuesday. Floyd’s death sparked violent protests across the country and solidified radical racial justice groups like Black Lives Matter, which encouraged violent protests and found financial support from some of these same corporations. Mary Barra, chairman and CEO of General Motors: The past several weeks have been a painful and poignant reminder of the need to support reform and condemn injustice. Our thoughts are with the Floyd family as these verdicts will not replace their loss. — Mary Barra (@mtbarra) April 20, 2021 Pat Gelsinger, CEO of Intel: We can’t fix the long history of racism in America overnight, but we must do what we can to address it and make the … [Read more...] about Corporate America Virtue Signaling in Wake of Derek Chauvin Murder Conviction
