Coors dumps DEI

Molson Coors is scaling back its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts, following a trend of major companies distancing from “woke” policies.

Zoom out: Molson Coors produces popular beers like Coors Light, Miller Light, and Blue Moon.

The details: Conservative activist Robby Starbuck revealed a letter from Coors leadership to its employees, outlining changes to its DEI policies, which include:

  • Ending participation in the Corporate Equality Index [effectively a social credit system created by the Human Rights Campaign]

  • Endling DEI-based training programs

  • Eliminating corporate donations to divisive events

  • Eliminating executive compensation tied to DEI hiring goals

Back up: These changes came after Starbuck threatened to go public with details about the company’s woke policies.

A growing trend: In recent weeks, Starbuck has used the threat of conservative boycotts to pressure iconic brands like Ford, Lowe's, and John Deere to eliminate their corrosive DEI policies.

Beer specific: Coors had added incentive to reverse course after watching last year’s boycott of their competitor, Bud Light, after the beer maker partnered with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Quote: Starbuck celebrated the change, writing on X: “The landscape of corporate America is quickly shifting to sanity and neutrality.”

I’ll drink to that.

New dog, old tricks: Dems revive ‘Russian election interference’ claims

The Biden-Harris regime’s Department of Justice has accused Russia of interfering in the 2024 presidential election — but the timing, just two months away from Election Day, leads many to believe the move is political, meant to boost Kamala Harris.

The details: Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and Deputy AG Lisa Monaco held a joint press conference yesterday, representing the regime’s “Election Threats Task Force.”

  • Their key message was that Russia had deployed assets within the U.S. to influence the election and drive anti-Ukraine sentiment among American voters.

  • The DOJ announced it had seized 32 web domains used to spread ‘Russian propaganda.’

Influencer influence: Garland announced two Russian nationals who had allegedly funneled $10 million to set up a Tennessee-based company named Tenet Media that duped several conservative influencers into partnerships to create video content.

  • The influencers were unaware of the Russian affiliation.

  • Some high-profile names include Benny Johnson, Tim Poole, and Dave Rubin.

I don’t necessarily doubt that any of this is true. What I do doubt is the scale and scope of these actions…

Back up: Keep in mind, these are the same agencies that, during the 2016 election, promoted the lie that Donald Trump was working with Russia — allegations that were debunked by a special counsel investigation and later revealed to be produced by the Hillary Clinton campaign. Then, in 2020, members of these same agencies falsely claimed the Hunter Biden laptop was “Russian disinformation.”

Political timing: We are exactly 60 days from the presidential election. Some, like Fox News host Jesse Watters believe this was a rushed ‘October surprise’ from the Biden-Harris regime, as Kamala’s honeymoon surge is beginning to dwindle following poor performances during her DNC speech and recent CNN interview.

Big picture: The only thing that matters is whether the American people buy this as a serious issue. This newsletter writer thinks the left and their media co-conspirators have already beat the Russia hoax to death - and voters tune it out.
