by Suzanne Bowdey |
Turkeys aren't the only things on the chopping block this week - so is woke policy. Americans, who are already celebrating a return to sanity after the elections, have to be equally ecstatic that after 19 months, conservatives are savoring another massive corporate surrender. In what Robby Starbuck calls "the biggest win yet," the country's number one employer, Walmart, is abandoning DEI in what may be the smartest holiday marketing decision so far. |

Missouri SAFE Act Wins Bench Trial in State Court |
by Joshua Arnold |
The Missouri Save Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act has survived a legal challenge brought by transgender activists after a two-week bench trial in state court earlier this fall. Judge Craig Carter upheld the law in a 74-page ruling (Noe v. Parson) on Monday, finding that "the court's limited role" did not permit it to override the legislated will of the people when there is "an almost total lack of consensus as to the medical ethics of adolescent gender dysphoria treatment." |
