Fifth Circuit Deals Blow to DEI on Wall Street

While the rules aimed to increase representation of women and minorities on corporate boards, the court found them inconsistent with federal securities laws, emphasizing limits on the authority of regulatory agencies to shape corporate governance. The Fifth Circuit's ruling deals a blow to recent, progressive trends in the corporate world - pushed by government agencies like the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) - calling for more diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) on corporate boards.

DEI's Dead End Street

Nowhere in the U.S. Constitution or Bill of Rights is equality of outcome promised to Americans. In this new millennium, Democrats have denounced the essence of true American greatness. The fact that this put-upon assemblage continues to belly-up to the bar of entitlements first offered by Democrat leaders like Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” legislation shows both how entitled they have become and out of touch they are with our Constitution.

‘This Is ILLEGAL’: Speaker Johnson Calls For Further Investigation Into Democrats’ Fundraising Machine As The Federalist has reported, ActBlue has been accused of being a “money laundering operation,” suspected of serving as a conduit for smurfing.

The Ugly Truth About Gay Adoption

Increasingly, children who are up for adoption are being placed into the arms of homosexual men. Sometimes, such men purchase children outright via surrogacy. All of this we allow, and some even encourage it. Christians and conservatives have long since warned about the risk of child sexual abuse in these scenarios, in addition to denying the child of a healthy family dynamic through the absence of a mother. These concerns have been dismissed and ridiculed, and we are beginning to see the results.

There is a horrifying new trend in which homosexual pedophiles are adopting children for the sake of sexual exploitation and then sharing them with other homosexuals.
