Caterpillar is Dumping DEI:

Another company that now wants to focus on its core business rather than issues that have nothing to do with making a profit (duh!) is the heavy equipment maker Caterpillar. One of the changes includes that all corporate training be connected to the business operations. Ditto for external surveys or awards. An employee memo included: "All training, both formal and informal, must be focused on our business and designed to foster high performance and execution of our enterprise strategy."

Secret Service at LGBTQ+++ at Disney Twice:

The Secret Service was responsible for mishandling two assassination attempts on President Trump. Do you think the Secret Service needs more training? Of course, they do!

So, the training is going to be on the ridiculous LGBTQ+++ agenda! Originally, the taxpayer-funded, four-day Secret Service LGBTQ+++ summit was open to almost every Secret Service employee. However, due to the outcry about this perverted “Out and Equal” program, it was changed that only non-law enforcement employees could participate. But why should taxpayers pay for any of this nonsense? And if they were insistent on an off-site training program, why Disney World? Your tax dollars at work!

Vice Presidents

When you look at the Democrat party's rational for picking Vice Presidents there appears to be a pattern.

Barack Obama: I need a vice president who is dumber than me. Joe Biden: I need a vice president who is dumber than me. Kamala Harris: I need a vice president who is dumber than me.

Here's another Kamala's meaningless word salads.

“In terms of both rightly having the right to have aspirations and dreams and ambitions for your family and working hard and finding that the American Dream is, for this generation and so many recently, far more elusive than it’s been, and we need to deal with that.”

And Kamala wants a VP dumber than she?   Imagine that.   Well, Kamala found one.   Shocking isn't it.   

Walz announces his support for the abolition of the Electoral College, Harris tells him to shut his big fat mouth 

After the VP Debate with Walz looking like a nitwit, the media had to find something to outrage them about J.D. Vance.  And what was it?  Well, as Mary Grabar says, what outraged the media was "J.D. Vance Committed the Unforgivable Facecrime of Confidently Smiling".  She goes on to say in her article:

When someone like Vance acts in a gentlemanly manner, the stakes have to be raised.  “How dare you even breathe in the air that we breathe on this planet!” we can hear Dowd screeching at the charming Vance on TV.  So she had to give Tim Walz some credit. After “nearly 90 minutes of being lulled by Vance’s sham persona,” Walz “ripped” off the mask by confronting him about the claims about the irregularities in the 2020 election — now known as election “denialism.” Walz did it with a bug-eyed look of bewilderment and fear.  This is the only kind of facial expression acceptable to Ms. Dowd and her sisters, who, wagging index fingers at hapless boys, screech, “wipe that smirk off your face!”

Trump Derangement Syndrome

Mark Cuban just loved Trump, until he didn't pick him to be his Vice President, and for good reason.  He doesn’t seem to have core values. In July 2015, just a few weeks after Donald Trump stunned the world by announcing he would run for president, Dallas Mavericks owner and Shark Tank billionaire panelist Mark Cuban said:

“...probably the best thing to happen to politics in a long, long time. I don’t care what his actual positions are. I don’t care if he says the wrong thing. He says what’s on his mind. He gives honest answers rather than prepared answers. This is more important than anything any candidate has done in years.”

At the time, Cuban generated headlines by telling the media that he would consider being Donald Trump’s running mate. Cuban doesn’t seem to have a core value system. Otherwise, he would not have told NBC News in May 2016 that he would consider being vice president to EITHER Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.

Not surprisingly, Donald Trump didn’t see Cuban as the right fit for his administration. This was the beginning of Mark Cuban’s severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Cuban, who voted for Barack Obama, endorsed Joe Biden in 2020 and now Kamala Harris in 2024.

Inflation, illegal immigration, rampant crime and all the other disasters Democrats have given us don’t directly affect billionaires living in mansions behind tall, gated walls in secure communities. But at least you know that Cuban’s Trump Derangement Syndrome started from anger that he wasn’t picked to be Trump’s vice president.

A vote for Kam/Tim (chipmunk cheeks) is A VOTE FOR SLAVERY!!!!! Walz’s own brother supports Trump!
