A Lutheran minister looking for a promotion to Congress once claimed that challenges to the traditional definitions of men and women are “very threatening” to white men and downplayed concerns about the dangers of transgender ideology for women. 
Sarah Trone Garriott, a Democrat candidate for Iowa&#8217;s 3rd Congressional District, claimed that Evangelical Christians oppose “GLBTQ” ideology not because of theology, but racial angst, according to an October 2023 speech uncovered by The Daily Wire. Trone Garriott, a former state senator and minister in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, hopes to unseat incumbent Republican Rep. Zach Nunn.
During her <a href="https://www.iaumc.org/newsdetail/sen-rev-sarah-throne-garrett-encourages-laity-to-confront-christian-nationalism-18119210">speech</a> on &#8220;Christian Nationalism&#8221; at Ames First United Methodist Church, Trone Garriott argued that Evangelical Christians needed “threats” to react against to maintain their identity. 
“A new threat that we see today is the GLBTQ movement,” she said. “It&#8217;s a challenging of that status quo, of the way that things have been, of who&#8217;s a man and who&#8217;s woman and how relationships are. It&#8217;s very threatening to the idea of the white male, powerful figure, because it muddies the waters and makes things ambiguous and confusing.”

“We see all kinds of responses happening in legislation and in community conflicts … a lot more emphasis on, you know, really funding and supporting the separation, the private schools, the parents&#8217; rights,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And within that, the parents&#8217; rights piece is used to enact book bans, sports bans about who can play and who can compete,” she said. 
Trone Garriott then suggested that laws to keep males out of female sports or protect kids from sexually explicit books were motivated by a misguided belief that “white men” are “responsible” for protecting women. 
“It&#8217;s really couched in the language of there&#8217;s a threat against women and white men are responsible to protect women from threats. So a lot of the legislation is about we&#8217;re going to protect these feminine, fragile, weak women and girls from a threat to their bodies, their persons, their identity in this way.”
During her time in the State Senate, Trone Garriott <a href="https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/publications/SJNL/20220302_SJNL.pdf#page=4">voted against</a> a bill to keep boys out of girls’ sports and <a href="https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/publications/SJNL/20230307_SJNL.pdf#page=26">opposed</a> a bill shielding children from transgender procedures. 
Republican spokesman Zach Kraft told The Daily Wire that Trone Garriott’s positions were out of step with Iowans. 
&#8220;Sarah Trone Garriott is a preacher of the woke gospel,” he said. “It is sickening to see her twist Christianity as a justification to force sex changes on young children. That may have been popular with her friends at Harvard, but Iowa voters will reject this radical lunatic.&#8221; 
Trone Garriott spent much of her speech attacking “white Christian men” and “white evangelical leaders,” an aggressive strategy in a state where white evangelicals compose a major voting bloc. She even attacked famed evangelist Billy Graham for having an “attractive, strong, macho guy persona.” 
She also challenged traditional Evangelical Christian understandings of Jesus Christ and the Bible. Her denomination, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, is much more liberal than its counterpart, the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. 
 “There&#8217;s a lot of different ways to think about what Christ did on the cross,” she said during the speech. “There&#8217;s not just one way. It makes us wonder, well, who is this Christ?”
Trone Garriott said the Evangelical understanding of the Gospel was tainted by the “white patriarchy.” 
“What we see more and more is that the good news that a specific variety of Christianity is professing in the world is white patriarchy,” she said. “So white masculine power, violence, dominance, over and against.”
She also downplayed biblical writings of the Apostle Paul, calling  him a “great guy and all” but “a product of his time.”

WATCH: Democrat Candidate Says Christians Who Oppose Trans Ideology Are Racist

2026 Midterms

Wokeness

For years, the radical Left has treated America’s civilian universities as laboratories for anti-American indoctrination — peddling &#8220;whiteness studies,&#8221; seminars on gender-based genocide, and even the celebration of Hamas. On Thursday, War Secretary Pete Hegseth made it clear that toxic &#8220;woke&#8221; rot ends at the doors of the Department of War.
Hegseth delivered a blistering ultimatum to the military’s educational bureaucracy, directing the Undersecretary of War for Personnel and Readiness to establish an immediate task force. Hegseth announced a 90-day &#8220;scorched earth&#8221; assessment of the nation’s senior service colleges, including the Army War College and National Defense University. The mission? To &#8220;rip out&#8221; the DEI playbook and return the focus to what actually matters: lethality, meritocracy, and winning wars.
“Seminars on genocide through the analytic of gender. Hmm, sounds interesting,” Hegseth mused. “So-called ‘whiteness studies.’ Courses that celebrate the history of Hamas, where a professor calls Islamist militants and their attacks ‘astounding’ and ‘incredible.’ Graduate studies that focus on the abolition of law enforcement. Classes on leadership that are just recycled garbage from the old DEI, diversity, equity, and inclusion playbook: These are examples of classes that our leaders in our civilian colleges and universities too often celebrate.”
“The truth is, they help cultivate a radical hate America agenda, and we can&#8217;t afford that same toxic ideology in America&#8217;s War Department,” he declared. “It degrades our readiness. It&#8217;s a risk to our forces. And it undermines our mission of peace through strength.”
He continued:
<blockquote>
At the Department of War, we have a duty to ensure that our professional military education develops real leaders, warfighters who dominate into the future. We&#8217;re committed to making our own senior service colleges maintain the highest of standards, that those places align with President Trump&#8217;s commitment to the American people, that our military will remain the strongest in history.
That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m directing the Undersecretary of War for Personnel and Readiness to establish a task force effective immediately. The mission of that task force is to evaluate our senior service colleges, where we educate our own. Think places like the Army War College, or National Defense University, the Naval War College, Marine Corps University, or the Air War College, where our senior officers go to continue their education.
We&#8217;re going to ensure that the professors, administrators, and curriculum of those institutions are focused on national security, strategy, history, and overall excellence, confirm that high standards and meritocracy are forefront, and make sure that what we&#8217;ve seen in our civilian institutions never surface in our military education institutions.
Trust me, I&#8217;ve heard the stories. I know some of our own senior service colleges, some of those that I just listed, have similar courses and similar ideologies. We need to rip ‘em out, and we&#8217;re going to.
This task force will have 90 days to assess whether our senior service colleges — the list I just provided — are actually effective. They&#8217;re going to identify any deficiencies and make sure they&#8217;re focused on core national security issues.

Professional Military Education should produce warfighters and leaders—not wokesters.

The move is a sharp course correction from the Lloyd Austin era under the Biden administration, where the Pentagon became a playground for Critical Race Theory and gender-neutral linguistics. In 2021, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-cotton-reveals-military-whistleblower-complaints-on-woke-training-bidens-secdef-insists-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-is-important-to-this-military?utm_source=chatgpt.com">exposed</a> hundreds of whistleblower complaints from service members forced into &#8220;privilege walks&#8221; and told that the U.S. military was a &#8220;fundamentally racist&#8221; institution. In 2022, academics even <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/marines-receive-woke-report-which-says-to-stop-calling-drill-instructors-sir-maam?utm_source=chatgpt.com">pressured</a> the Marines to drop &#8220;sir&#8221; and &#8220;ma&#8217;am&#8221; to avoid &#8220;misgendering.&#8221;
Hegseth’s directive signals a total rejection of those priorities. By targeting the curriculum and the administrators of senior service colleges, the War Department — a name restored to emphasize the military’s true purpose — is shifting back to the warrior ethos. Hegseth emphasized that if the military is pulling officers out of civilian universities because they have become too &#8220;woke,&#8221; the military’s own institutions must be beyond reproach.
The Secretary’s mandate is clear: the task force will evaluate whether these schools are effectively producing critical thinkers grounded in the principles of the Founding Fathers. No more &#8220;white fragility&#8221; readings; no more &#8220;abolition of law enforcement&#8221; studies. As Hegseth noted, the focus is now on ensuring those rising to the highest ranks are prepared to dominate the battlefield.
Under the new leadership, the era of treating diversity and inclusion as a &#8220;warfighting imperative&#8221; is over.

The University of Miami Health System appears to have scrubbed references to radical gender and racial ideologies from its website. That doesn’t mean it’s abandoned those principles.
UHealth recently deleted webpages highlighting diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and so-called gender-affirming services, information obtained by Consumers&#8217; Research and shared with The Daily Wire shows. The move comes as the Trump administration ramps up pressure on hospitals and other institutions to scale back transgender medicine and abandon DEI initiatives.
But UHealth’s facelift may just be for show. The University of Miami Miller School of Medicine operation — which once <a href="https://news.med.miami.edu/miller-school-recognized-for-diversity-and-inclusion/">boasted</a> that “diversity is not just a goal, it’s essential to the business of health care” — still maintains racial quotas for both staff and medical school applicants. And while UHealth <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230320180241/https://umiamihealth.org/treatments-and-services/lgbtq-services">deleted</a> a public page outlining its transgender procedures, it still offers everything from hormone treatments to surgeries, sometimes to children as young as 12.
Advocates say nonprofit hospital systems receiving taxpayer support have a responsibility to focus on patient care rather than political activism. 
“Nonprofit hospitals receive massive taxpayer subsidies to care for the sick and keep us healthy, not to bankroll activist agendas,&#8221; Consumers&#8217; Research executive director Will Hild said. His organization is publishing evidence of UHealth&#8217;s ideological priorities as part of its <a id="m_380556438124433728m_-3045006689688549635OWAf2c5d792-40c8-ff0b-b285-5674e35360ac" href="https://consumersresearch.org/badmedicine/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://consumersresearch.org/badmedicine/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1773363826991000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3HkgqO57wRtJMEqYn7H99Q">Bad Medicine</a> initiative, which &#8220;targets nonprofit health systems across the country who are prioritizing political ideology over patients.&#8221;
Should UHealth continue to do so, it could put it in the government&#8217;s crosshairs as the Trump administration ramps up scrutiny of hospitals accused of prioritizing ideological programs over patient care.
“President Trump took swift action to protect children from harmful transgender ideology through executive orders to halt transgender interventions for kids,” O. H. Skinner, executive director of the Alliance for Consumers, told The Daily Wire. &#8220;The message is clear: taxpayer money should not subsidize life-ruining gender procedures on children.&#8221;
UHealth has scrubbed <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230320180241/https://umiamihealth.org/treatments-and-services/lgbtq-services">sites</a> detailing the wide range of transgender procedures it offers — everything from specialized hormone treatments to referrals for surgical procedures and voice treatments.
<a href="https://umiamihealth.org/en/treatments-and-services/infectious-diseases/uhealth-rapid-access-wellness-clinic">All of those services</a> are still very much available at UHealth — to almost all patients.
The UHealth Rapid Wellness Clinic <a href="https://umiamihealth.org/treatments-and-services/infectious-diseases/uhealth-rapid-access-wellness-clinic#:~:text=The%20RAPID%20Program%20offers%20services%20such%20as:,care%20at%20community%20sites%20in%20Miami%2DDade%20County">continues to offer</a> transgender services, offering “personalized, holistic care for transgender people to enhance mental and physical well-being,” including prescriptions for “feminizing and masculinizing hormones” and referrals for surgical consultations.
According to <a href="https://doctors.umiamihealth.org/provider/lydia-ann-fein/1094992?_gl=1*1ifi9es*_ga*MTQ0MTcxMTA0MC4xNzcxNDQ3OTAw*_ga_JCW15RZR91*czE3NzMyMzQ0MzckbzEyJGcwJHQxNzczMjM0NDM4JGo1OSRsMCRoMA">program materials</a>, those services are available to patients as young as 12.
Dr. Lydia Ann Fein, who leads the Gender Affirmation Program at the University of Miami Health System, said in an interview with the <a href="https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/gay-south-florida/article244097007.html">Miami Herald</a> that a significant portion of the clinic’s patients are teenagers.
“Thirty percent of my transgender patients are teens,” Fein said. “I’m seeing a shift to younger patients.”
Fein attributed the increase in younger patients to greater visibility of transgender identities. “In general, with transgender and gender nonconforming people being more visible in society and the media, younger people are identifying this within themselves and parents are more aware,” she said. “It’s more accepted.”
The UHealth LGBTQ Services clinic, which houses the Gender Affirmation Program, sees hundreds of patients annually. Fein said the program coordinates with specialists across multiple fields, including plastic surgery, urology, and more.
“We also have an ear, nose, and throat surgeon and a speech pathologist for voice training and modification surgery,” she said.
Fein also emphasized the importance of psychological support for patients seeking gender-related treatments. “For those patients, it’s extremely important that they are connected to mental health care in some fashion and community organizations that offer social support,” she said.
The medical school also <a href="https://news.med.miami.edu/miller-school-and-miami-dade-college-partner-on-pathways-program/">partners</a> with Miami Dade College to increase the number of minority medical school applicants through mentoring programs, MCAT preparation, and financial stipends for participants.
“Diversity, or the lack of it, among medical professionals affects care delivery, clinical decision-making, and participation in clinical trials,” the University of Miami says. “Most importantly, it impacts patient outcomes.”
Archived materials show the medical school also hosted a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210222190245/https:/med.miami.edu/en/offices/diversity/about-us/task-force">“Task Force on Racial Justice,”</a> which recommended increasing recruitment of Black faculty members and encouraging more students from underrepresented minority groups to pursue training at the school. The school also launched a <a href="https://med.miami.edu/about-us/culture-change#:~:text=The%20Miller%20School%20of%20Medicine%20has%20a,*%20**History**%20*%20**Offices**%20*%20**Community%20Outreach**">“Culture Change”</a> initiative featuring faculty committees focused on improving institutional culture to create an “affirming and energizing environment.&#8221;
The University of Miami’s medical system has also embraced environmental activism through the university’s GreenU sustainability program. The initiative promotes policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, encouraging<a href="https://greenu.miami.edu/initiatives/food-and-well-being/index.html"> reduced meat consumption</a>, and shifting school food systems toward what administrators describe as more <a href="https://greenu.miami.edu/initiatives/food-and-well-being/sustainable-food/index.html">“sustainable”</a> options.
The health system has also faced questions about oversight and leadership. In one case, a UHealth physician was fired after posting graphic photographs of transgender patients’ genitalia on a personal Instagram account. More recently, the Department of Health and Human Services <a href="https://www.hhs.gov/press-room/hhs-decertifies-miami-organ-agency-reforms-transplant-system.html">announced</a> plans to decertify and shut down a University of Miami organ procurement organization after investigators cited “years of unsafe practices, poor training, chronic underperformance, understaffing, and paperwork errors.&#8221;
The University of Miami did not respond to a request for comment.

A Major Health System Scrubbed The Woke From Its Website. It Hasn’t Really Changed.

Miami

In a blistering appearance on Hannity Wednesday night, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller declared that under President Donald Trump’s leadership, the United States military has finally been &#8220;unleashed&#8221; from the shackles of political correctness.
Miller’s remarks serve as a sharp course correction from the previous years of &#8220;woke&#8221; indoctrination that plagued the Pentagon under the Biden administration—a period defined by top brass who seemed more interested in pronoun etiquette than lethality and victory.
Miller drew a hard line in the sand regarding Iran, a regime he noted has waged war against Americans for 47 years. From the 1979 embassy hostage crisis to the 1983 bombing of the Marines in Beirut, and the murder of the CIA station chief, Miller emphasized that the era of American retreat is over.
&#8220;America First means America will be the greatest, most unquestioned, unmatched power in the world,&#8221; Miller asserted. &#8220;And it means we will defend American lives. And yes, we will avenge American blood.&#8221;
He made it clear that the Trump administration will not tolerate a regime that trains proxy armies, menaces U.S. troops with missiles, or pursues nuclear weapons. But the most significant shift, Miller noted, is internal.
The transition marks a radical departure from the tenure of figures like former Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, who once famously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joint-chiefs-of-staff-chairman-milley-protests-im-not-sure-what-woke-means?utm_source=chatgpt.com">claimed</a> he didn’t know what &#8220;woke&#8221; meant while simultaneously defending the study of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and &#8220;white rage&#8221; to Congress.
Under the previous guard, the military was bogged down by whistleblower reports of mandatory training on &#8220;white privilege&#8221; and &#8220;systemic racism,&#8221; Air Force instruction telling cadets to avoid gendered terms like &#8220;Mom&#8221; and &#8220;Dad&#8221; in favor of &#8220;caregiver,&#8221; and &#8220;Privilege walks&#8221; that forced service members to separate themselves by race and gender.
Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-cotton-reveals-military-whistleblower-complaints-on-woke-training-bidens-secdef-insists-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-is-important-to-this-military?utm_source=chatgpt.com">previously warned</a> that this &#8220;anti-American indoctrination&#8221; led to plummeting morale and a wave of separations from service members who signed up to fight enemies, not participate in race-based stratification.
Miller noted that the &#8220;warfighters&#8221; were never the problem; it was a &#8220;woke Pentagon&#8221; at the highest levels that forced the military to fight with its hands tied. That era, Miller said, has ended.
&#8220;What you&#8217;re seeing now, Sean, is a military that is unleashed in all of its lethal prowess to go out and seek, destroy and kill the enemy,&#8221; Miller concluded. &#8220;Which is what militaries are for.&#8221;
With the focus shifting back to &#8220;operational excellence&#8221; over &#8220;equity,&#8221; the message from the White House is clear: the U.S. military is no longer a laboratory for social experiments—it is once again a focused instrument of national survival.

White House Power Player On How Trump Unshackled Military From ‘Political Correctness’

Stephen Miller

U.S. Military

Go woke. Go broke. The saying is becoming so commonplace that it almost bears no significance.
But in some instances, a brand that’s already going broke suddenly decides to go full throttle on woke. That’s exactly what outdoor retail store Eddie Bauer did in recent years, and now, the operator of the century-old store has <a href="https://apnews.com/article/eddie-bauer-bankruptcy-retail-1f4168dca0060353b3766f0924d9c7da" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed</a> for bankruptcy, marking the third bankruptcy filing for Eddie Bauer in the past 20 years.
The jump into LGBT craziness probably wasn’t the main reason behind Eddie Bauer’s downfall, but the company’s wokeness didn’t help it return to its former glory.
In 1920, 21-year-old <a href="https://www.historylink.org/File/1671" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eddie Bauer</a> set up shop in downtown Seattle, focusing on repairing broken tennis rackets before he started making his own golf clubs and fishing tackle, and in the 1940s, he developed his first jacket. The business also made jackets and sleeping bags for American troops during World War II.
Bauer soon got into more clothing retail and expanded his operations. He was a good old-fashioned American entrepreneur, who built a successful business through hard work and good ideas.
Fast-forward 100 years, and Bauer’s company was arguing for America to “<a href="https://www.eddiebauer.com/blogs/blog/get-outdoors-but-make-it-gay?srsltid=AfmBOopr2XmLsdAxNsHxYboEbJCnJ8m55NHR44cPajIhwpcA8zrkTpPG" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Get outdoors, but make it gay</a>.” Yes, that is a real article published on Eddie Bauer’s website in 2022, written by lesbian freelance journalist Erica Zazo.
“Nature has always been an escape for me and my wife. Since Mother Nature does not discriminate, we’ve been able to fully explore ourselves and our partnership in the outdoors without the societal pressures, influences, and impact that often harm LGBTQ people,” Zazo wrote.
In 2023, Eddie Bauer’s website featured an <a href="https://www.eddiebauer.com/blogs/blog/the-one-thing-you-can-do-today-to-bring-more-people-to-the-outdoors?srsltid=AfmBOop-58dBARPqwbVWqlfx9ec7X_o6FSYIqa-6gUqYT6OixySgNH00" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> lamenting the lack of LGBT “representation” in “the outdoors.”
“If we love nature and want everyone to experience its many benefits, we need to make sure everyone feels welcome in outdoor and rural spaces,” the article written by “community leader” Mikah Meyer stated.
Another 2023 <a href="https://www.eddiebauer.com/blogs/blog/venturing-out-with-perry-cohen?srsltid=AfmBOoomyzsWRDgCGq7heauu8m9GXu1SZztEc1b_SAOXLubqPsLT2uMf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> published on the website highlighted an organization that led “backpacking trips for queer and trans people.”
It’s not clear what made Eddie Bauer so concerned about the supposed homophobia of the great outdoors, nor is it clear from those articles how going on a hike or fishing is harder for LGBT people. What is clear is that Eddie Bauer fully adopted LBGT talking points.
Eddie Bauer’s operator blamed declining sales and industry challenges, such as the recent tariff policies, for its struggles. That’s probably partly true, but going full woke as a storied outdoor retail company likely didn’t help.
What Americans want from their favorite companies is quality and reliability, traits that Jeremy’s Razors will always be dedicated to pursuing. With <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeremy’s Razors</a>, you don’t have to worry about getting lectured on the “homophobia of the shaving experience,” nor will you be surprised by drastic changes in company principles. Who we are today is who we’ll be tomorrow — always providing the best shave in the business.

The Department of War gave an ultimatum to Scouting America, formerly known as the Boy Scouts of America, to roll back its woke policies and DEI initiatives or lose its continued partnership with the military.
“From Day One at the War Department, we have made it very clear: No more DEI at DoW. Zero tolerance,” Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell shared in a statement posted to X. He went on to say that the department had been “reviewing its relationship” with the Boy Scouts after the organization had “lost its way.” 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“[F]or more than a decade now, Scouting America&#8217;s leadership has made decisions that run counter to the values of this administration and this Department of War, including an embrace of DEI and other social justice, gender-fluid ideological stances. This is unacceptable,” the statement continued. 
He said their partnership with scouts, including support of the National Jamboree celebration, was in jeopardy, but now they are “near a final agreement&#8221; as Scouting America has “firmly committed to a return to core principles. Back to God and country—immediately!”
The statement concluded that Scouting America will continue to partner with the Department of War, provided it “rapidly implements” common sense reforms. “They are on the clock, and we are watching,” the post warned. 
Scouting America provided a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/02/03/hegseth-boy-scouts-scouting-america/">statement</a> to the Washington Post Tuesday evening, saying, “For nearly 116 years Scouting has stood as a cornerstone of American ideals, good citizenship, service, and adventure for American youth. We are encouraged by tonight’s social media post by the Pentagon, and we look forward to providing more details as we move ahead.”
In November, NPR <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/11/25/nx-s1-5615164/pentagon-scouting-hegseth-cut-ties">reported</a> that the Defense Department was planning to cut funding and support to Scouting America due to it becoming an organization designed to &#8220;attack boy-friendly spaces.” The documents allegedly criticized the organization for promoting DEI principles. One memo quoted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as saying, &#8220;The organization once endorsed by President Theodore Roosevelt no longer supports the future of American boys.&#8221;
The Boy Scouts have long served as a natural bridge to the military. The Pentagon formally backed the organization beginning in 1937, supplying trucks, doctors, medics, logistical support, and even aviation demonstrations at the National Jamboree. For the military, it doubled as a valuable recruiting channel: Eagle Scouts routinely entered at higher ranks, and about 20% of service-academy cadets came from scouting backgrounds.
But that reputation changed over the years. The group rebranded itself from Boy Scouts to Scouts BSA in 2018 and became “Scouting America” in 2025. This was all in an effort to allow girls to join and be more inclusive, but ultimately led to drastic <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/boy-scouts-want-to-include-everyone-but-now-no-one-wants-to-join?author=Amanda+Harding&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Boy+Scouts+Want+To+Include+Everyone%2C+But+Now+No+One+Wants+To+Join">membership drops</a>.

Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) is gunning for the Nashville Electric Service (NES) as thousands of Nashville residents remain without power — more than a week after Winter Storm Fern wreaked havoc on the area — and some may not see their power restored for another ten days.
Blackburn argued that NES had spent more time focusing on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives than on the kind of preparation that could have helped them manage a massive winter storm more efficiently.
&#8220;The Nashville Electric Service held 102 DEI-related training sessions by the end of 2024. They should’ve been using those resources to trim trees and bury utilities. This is what happens when companies put woke politics over the needs of the people they serve,&#8221; she <a href="https://x.com/MarshaBlackburn/status/2018009739926605839">posted</a> on Sunday.
Blackburn also sent a letter directly to NES demanding answers regarding the still unfolding situation in her home state — as well as a detailed plan explaining how the company planned to prevent anything similar from happening again.
&#8220;The failure to adequately prepare for Winter Storm Fern is precisely the reason line crews are working overtime and citizens are clearing limbs and debris at great risk to their own safety to help friends and neighbors,&#8221; Blackburn wrote in the letter. &#8220;This disruption (crew members in the field) are working to correct reflects a failure of leadership and planning, one that could have been mitigated with thoughtful preparation ahead of the storm. You owe your customers transparency, accountability, and a clear explanation of how this breakdown occurred and how you will prevent this from happening in the future.&#8221;
Blackburn gave NES a deadline of February 2 and laid out six key questions she wanted addressed. She posted the letter itself on X, adding, &#8220;By failing to properly prepare for Winter Storm Fern, @NESpower put Tennesseans in harm’s way. NES owes its customers transparency, accountability, and a clear explanation for why thousands of people remain without power. I’m demanding answers to ensure this can’t happen again.&#8221;
<ol>
<li>&#8220;According to reporting by The Tennessean, experienced linemen offered to aid with storm recovery, but Nashville Electric Service declined the offer, stating it already had sufficient resources. Why did NES turn down that offer for additional personnel during a widespread outage of this magnitude?&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Given the lessons learned from past devastating storms, such as Nashville’s 1994 ice storm, why was NES not adequately prepared for Winter Storm Fern, despite ample warning and clear historical precedent?&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Forecasts warned days in advance that this would be a generational severe weather event. Why were recovery operations and service restoration plans not fully prepared and mobilized ahead of time?&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Why has there been such inconsistency in power restoration updates, with many customers being told their power has been restored when it has not, particularly given NES’s acknowledgment that it recently implemented a new outage notification and tracking system?&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Residents in some areas have been told they may be without power for up to two weeks. How does NES consider that timeline acceptable, especially for residents who rely on electricity for life-sustaining medical equipment and other critical needs?&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Due to extended outages, many residents had no choice but to seek temporary lodging. Will NES be reimbursing customers for expenses incurred during this period?&#8221;</li>
</ol>
NES responded to Blackburn&#8217;s letter on Saturday, and the Tennessee Senator posted that letter as well — and said that their answers were not good enough.
&#8220;@NESPower&#8217;s response to my letter is entirely insufficient. The company refused to take any accountability and is forcing Tennesseans to wait another week for full restoration of power. This is unacceptable. Whoever is responsible for this breakdown should be fired,&#8221; she said.

In the letter, NES explained that half of the people in their entire service area (about 230,000) had lost power when the storm first hit, and that power had been restored to all but 44,000 of them. The remaining homes without power, NES assured Blackburn, would be back online within another week.
But some individual cases may prove to be more difficult, as one local investigative reporter described a situation currently affecting a viewer who had written him: &#8220;Wow! From viewer regarding Nashville Electric Service issue: &#8216;We can’t report an outage at a single residence after others around us have been restored. We report it, and the system immediately responds that it has been restored. Neighbors have power, but we have not due to a line down in the back yard. If it doesn’t stay on the NES list as needing repair, we may never get power restored. We have been in our house for 6+ days without power, like the rest of Nashville. It’s 38-40 degrees in the house. We run a generator intermittently, and we are doing better than most. But to not be able to reliably report an outage is absurd.'&#8221;

Blackburn made it clear on Sunday that she was frustrated with the leadership at NES, not the rank and file employees.
&#8220;The linemen who are on the ground making repairs and working in the frigid temperatures to restore power are the unsung heroes of the response to this horrible winter storm. So grateful for these men and women,&#8221; she said.

President Donald Trump doesn&#8217;t usually heap praise on people who question capitalism and champion carbon reduction efforts.
Larry Fink seems to be the exception.
“Everything Larry touches turns to gold,” Trump said of the BlackRock CEO during his Wednesday speech at the World Economic Forum. “He made this [forum] very successful.”
At first glance, it&#8217;s not shocking to hear Trump praise Fink. BlackRock was first in line to help President Trump reclaim the Panama Canal, with Fink spearheading the effort himself. And Trump is reportedly considering BlackRock executive Rick Rieder to replace Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.
But Trump&#8217;s affinity for Fink is curious considering the investment titan&#8217;s history of supporting exactly the kind of &#8220;woke&#8221; initiatives the Trump administration opposes.
At the 2020 World Economic Forum, Fink took the stage draped in a scarf stitched with a graphic depicting rising global temperatures over the previous 150 years. He warned that climate change posed an imminent threat to the world and the global financial system. 
That message carried into BlackRock’s corporate strategy. In his 2020 annual letter to shareholders, Fink said the world was on the brink of a “fundamental reshaping of finance,” insisting that “every government, company, and shareholder must confront climate change.”
“Behaviors are going to have to change,” Fink said at the time. “You have to force behaviors, and at BlackRock, we are forcing behaviors.” 
That leverage, Fink explained, came through voting power. 
“I have only one power,” he said. “And I’m going to use that power heavily and that is the power of the vote.” 
By managing trillions of dollars in passive retirement and index funds, BlackRock holds outsized ownership stakes across corporate America, giving the firm extraordinary influence over company policies regardless of whether individual investors or voters consent. 
In his 2021 letter to shareholders, he asked companies to issue “sustainability reports” detailing not only environmental risks but internal workforce policies. 
“As you issue sustainability reports, we ask that your disclosures on talent strategy fully reflect your long-term plans to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion, as appropriate by region,” he said. “We hold ourselves to this same standard.”
He also cautioned companies against drawing “stark lines’ within Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) frameworks, arguing that issues like climate change and racial inequality are interconnected. 
“Questions of racial justice, economic inequality, or community engagement are often classed as an &#8216;S&#8217; issue in ESG conversations. But it is misguided to draw such stark lines between these categories. For example, climate change is already having a disproportionate impact on low-income communities around the world – is that an E or an S issue? What matters is less the category we place these questions in, but the information we have to understand them and how they interact with each other. Improved data and disclosures will help us better understand the deep interdependence between environmental and social issues.” 
Then came the pivot. 
In 2024, Fink stunned the financial world by signaling political indifference. He said it “really doesn’t matter” who won the presidential race, arguing that both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris would be “good for Wall Street.” 
“At BlackRock, we work with both administrations,&#8221; Fink said, adding that the firm was in discussions with both candidates. 
Once Trump returned to office, the sense of urgency around climate change appeared to evaporate. By 2025, references to climate change and DEI had vanished entirely from Fink’s annual shareholder letter. In their place was a call for a large-scale investment in nuclear energy. “Wind and solar alone can’t reliably keep the lights on,” Fink wrote. 
Yet even as Fink appears aligned with Trump, some Republicans remain unconvinced that Fink has fully abandoned his old ways. The White House is reportedly mulling over an executive order that would limit how passive index fund managers like BlackRock participate in shareholder votes. And Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) has suggested Congress may need to limit BlackRock’s voting power.
“Congress is going to have to play a role to ensure the big three passive firms — BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street—stop playing politics,” he said. 
Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins echoed the warning, signaling that regulators are prepared to rein in large institutional asset managers that “get out of line.” 
“There are two schools of thought within the GOP on BlackRock,” Vice President JD Vance <a href="https://x.com/JDVance/status/1665705692462825475">said</a> in 2023. “The old guard thinks they’re creating value and need to be rewarded with tax cuts. I think they&#8217;re destroying value and are engaged in illegal and immoral conduct.” 
It remains unclear which school of thought will win out in the GOP. For now, Fink seems firmly in Trump&#8217;s good graces. But just days before Trump extolled him at Davos, the president&#8217;s modern-day Midas offered a glimpse of the old Larry Fink.
“Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, more wealth has been created than at any time prior in human history,&#8221; Fink said in his speech kicking off the World Economic Forum. &#8220;But in advanced economies, that wealth has accrued to a far narrower share of people than any healthy society can ultimately sustain.”

The newest “Star Trek” series is apparently so awful that it got the original Captain Kirk to see eye-to-eye with one of President Donald Trump’s closest advisers.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff and Homeland Security adviser Stephen Miller responded to a brief clip of the new Paramount+ series &#8220;Star Trek: Starfleet Academy&#8221; in an X post, arguing that the only way for producers to save the show would be to give full creative control to actor William Shatner.
&#8220;Tragic. But it’s not too late for @paramountplus to save the franchise,&#8221; Miller said. &#8220;Step 1: Reconcile with @WilliamShatner and give him total creative control.&#8221;
Shatner <a href="https://x.com/WilliamShatner/status/2013275829464383866">responded</a> several days later, saying, &#8220;I am so on the same page with you @StephenM&lt;! The fact that they have not [cured] Hyperopia by the 32rd Century is an abysmal oversight on the writers!&#8221;
&#8220;Also @paramountplus needs to up the budget because I’m sure that a well oiled organization like Starfleet in the distant future could afford more than one pair of glasses for at least this hyperopic bridge crew,&#8221; Shatner continued, adding, &#8220;Do they pass the glasses around while piloting the ship? Shame on the line producers! That is what you meant, right?&#8221;
&#8220;I am ready to assume command of the series! Call me!&#8221; he concluded.
Shatner was written out of the franchise in the 1994 film &#8220;Star Trek: Generations&#8221; – a move he&#8217;s said was made because producers wanted to move on to solely using the &#8220;Star Trek: The Next Generation&#8221; cast led by British actor Patrick Stewart&#8217;s Jean-Luc Picard.
Shatner said that he was told before filming began for &#8220;Generations&#8221; that Captain Kirk was going to die in the film whether he participated or not – and so he opted for an onscreen death that allowed him a heroic exit.
&#8220;So the producer said, &#8216;We&#8217;re going to kill Kirk because we think that The Next Generation will make more money at the box office,'&#8221; he explained.
Three more movies followed with &#8220;The Next Generation&#8221; cast, and the series has since rebooted with three more films, starring Chris Pine as Captain Kirk.

Just in time for the holidays, Brighton and Hove Museums is redefining Christmas for modern sensibilities — but not in a way anyone celebrating the season might enjoy. The museum, which was granted <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/37706714/woke-museum-decolonises-father-christmas/">over $1.2 million</a> in taxpayer dollars earlier this year, has a guide on “decolonizing” Father Christmas, claiming that the jolly old man is too white, too male, and far too judgmental for contemporary audiences.
According to the museum, Santa’s traditional “naughty and nice” list teaches children that a Western figure has the power to judge everyone, imposing colonial assumptions and erasing Indigenous cultural practices.
The museum’s Joint Head of Culture Change, Simone LaCorbinière, published a blog post in 2023 that <a href="https://brightonmuseums.org.uk/discovery/history-stories/decolonising-father-christmas/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">stated</a>:
<blockquote>
&#8230; the tale of a white, Western Santa who judges all children’s behaviour has problems &#8230;  who decided Santa should be the judge of children’s behaviour in every community? How can he assess, for example, Indigenous children practicing their own cultural traditions? Told like this, the story presents Santa as the ultimate authority of all societies. This asks us to accept colonial assumptions of cultural superiority. It doesn’t recognise the complex realities colonised people face.
And it can erase Indigenous cultural practices and sovereignty. For example, in many Santa storybooks of my youth, and later when exploring the story with children in the family, other cultures appeared simply as backdrops for Santa’s adventure. There might be a flag, and illustrations of children in their national costume, but we learned nothing about those places and people.
This perpetuates the harmful ‘colonial gaze’. Non-Western cultures are ‘othered’. It says that the coloniser has the power to judge all people. And it ignores many communities’ histories and traditions. Telling the story like this teaches new generations that the coloniser knows best.
And what do we say by having an old white man supervise the elves’ work? Is it something entirely innocent – elves are magical, mythical beings completely separate from the real world – or is there more to it? Are they representative of other groups? How do they reinforce how marginalised groups view not only ‘father figures’ but also themselves?
Mythical maybe, but elves are identifiably different to what is often presented as ‘normal’, which is white, male and non-disabled. And in the stories, the ‘different’ ones make the toys and the white, non-disabled man supervises them.

The post, which remains on the museum’s website, also included suggestions such as these:
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>Remove Santa rewarding children based on a Western binary of ‘naughty/nice.’ Focus on bringing joy to kids of all backgrounds rather than judging them.</li>
<li>Put Santa to work in the factory alongside the elves. This shows him and the elves as equal.</li>
<li>Have Santa be a more diverse character who celebrates cultural exchange. Avoid promoting one culture’s dominance. An inclusive adaptation could include many Santas from different regions.</li>
<li>Include some Mother Christmases. Patriarchy and colonialism went hand in hand. Show the next generation that men don’t have to be in charge.</li>
</ul>
Critics were not impressed. Senior Tory MP Sir Alec Shelbrooke called the initiative “the worst possible use of taxpayer funds,” while Lord Young of Acton of the Free Speech Union <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/article/santa-claus-decolonised-diversity-3l73qxcc2">derided</a> the museum as “po-faced,” sarcastically questioning whether children in non-Christian countries should now demand Santa leave a note apologizing for centuries of white supremacy.
The museum defends the project as “prompting reflection” rather than prescribing behavior, claiming it’s intended to teach children about historical narratives and cultural perspectives. In practice, it reads more like a manual for scrutinizing Christmas traditions through a lens of social justice, replacing timeless family fun with guilt and ideology.
Meanwhile, taxpayers are footing the bill.

Gerry McGovern, the chief creative officer behind the disastrous Jaguar rebranding campaign, has reportedly been fired from the company just months after the new CEO took over, as originally <a href="https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/jlr-axes-design-boss-gerry-mcgovern">reported</a> by U.K.-based outlet Autocar.
McGovern was a 20-year veteran of the company and, per the outlet, was the main force behind the failed avant-garde marketing campaign that received mostly negative reviews from consumers. 
The shakeup comes just months after the car manufacturer appointed Indian national PB Balaji as chief executive officer following the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jaguar-ceo-steps-down-months-after-woke-rebrand-commercial-went-viral">departure</a> of Adrian Mardell.
The ad campaign for Jaguar sparked massive criticism online following its November 2024 release. The “Copy Nothing” campaign included a colorful commercial of people dressed in vibrant, outlandish outfits. The characters could be seen grabbing sledgehammers, painting over the camera lens, and striking poses as the music played.
One of the chief criticisms from viewers was that the ad did not feature any cars. 
Instead, disjointed phrases such as “create exuberant,” “live vivid,” “delete ordinary,” “break molds,” and “copy nothing” appear on the screen.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk responded to the ad, writing, “Do you sell cars?”
The social media account replied to many commenters questioning the ad, saying things like, “The story is unfolding. Stay tuned,” “We’re shifting gears, not our purpose,” and “Consider this the first brushstroke.”
The ad was part of a huge brand overhaul, which was described as going in a new EV-only direction.
Managing director Rawdon Glover complained about the backlash during an interview with the Financial Times, saying the campaign messaging was drowned out in “a blaze of intolerance” on social media. Glover also claimed that the colorful new ad was not meant to be “woke.”
McGovern defended the campaign at the time, saying, “Jaguar has its roots in originality. Sir William Lyons, our founder, believed that ‘a Jaguar should be a copy of nothing.’ Our vision for Jaguar today is informed by this philosophy. New Jaguar is a brand built around Exuberant Modernism.”
He continued, “It is imaginative, bold and artistic at every touchpoint. It is unique and fearless. We are creating Jaguar for the future, restoring its status as a brand that enriches the lives of our clients and the Jaguar community.”
Jaguar sales in Europe <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/07/01/business/jaguar-sales-plummet-after-botched-rebrand-ev-pivot/">dropped</a> by a whopping 97.5% following the botched rebrand as the car manufacturer transitioned from gasoline-powered vehicles to all-electric. 
The company told The Daily Wire on Thursday that they will not be commenting on the situation.

One of the largest insurance companies in the country is removing commitments to being “anti-racist” and other DEI-related materials from its website as it promises to embrace a culture of meritocracy. 
The Chubb Corporation has deleted or edited numerous webpages in recent weeks to remove information detailing multiple “racial justice” programs and its commitment to “inclusive hiring.” The changes come after The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/woke-insurance-ceo-said-bill-barring-men-from-womens-bathrooms-was-a-threat-to-democracy">reported</a> earlier this month on the scale of Chubb’s DEI initiatives and highly partisan comments from its CEO attacking North Carolina over a bill to keep men out of women’s bathrooms. 
Deleted webpages include one called “<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20250617162520/https:/about.chubb.com/our-workforce/racial-justice.html">Advancing Racial Justice</a>,” which detailed various “racial justice” programs at Chubb.
“We believe in being anti-racist because a rejection of racism alone is insufficient. We have a responsibility to do our part – with candor, open minds and a commitment to change,” the company said on the now-deleted page. The page included information on Chubb’s “Race Matters” platform, intended to “facilitate greater consciousness of racism and understanding of the Black experience,” and on “inclusive hiring” practices, which placed a “special emphasis on professionals from underrepresented groups.”
Asked to explain the changes, a spokesman for Chubb, the largest commercial lines insurer in the United States and operating across 54 countries, said they were made to ensure the website “better convey[s]” the company’s culture. 
“We have always strived to be a meritocracy. We made changes to the content on our website to better convey our culture,” a Chubb spokesman told The Daily Wire of the changes.
Many corporations have publicly moved away from DEI in recent years as customers have reacted negatively to corporate leftwing activism. Over the last month, Chubb has faced a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/woke-insurance-ceo-said-bill-barring-men-from-womens-bathrooms-was-a-threat-to-democracy">national campaign</a> from conservative groups like Consumers’ Research over some of the leftist policies it once highlighted on its website.  
A number of major corporations, like <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/john-deere-is-latest-company-to-diminish-dei-says-it-wont-join-social-or-cultural-awareness-parades">John Deere</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tractor-supply-reverses-course-backs-out-of-woke-initiatives-following-conservative-backlash">Tractor Supply</a>, have backed away from corporate DEI initiatives since the 2024 election.
Some pages were just edited to remove some information. On its “Rule of Law Fund” <a href="https://about.chubb.com/citizenship/rule-law-fund.html">page</a>, for example, Chubb <a href="https://archive.ph/CbRRA">removed</a> information about $1.1 million in donations it made, in part, to “understand and reduce racial inequities throughout the criminal justice process.”

A video taken down from its YouTube page featured Chubb Corporation CEO Evan Greenberg <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/woke-insurance-ceo-said-bill-barring-men-from-womens-bathrooms-was-a-threat-to-democracy">attacking</a> North Carolina Republicans over a 2016 bill aimed at protecting women’s privacy.
“The rights of individuals, including our personal freedom and right to pursue happiness, are a universal right. We protect them. Actions like those in North Carolina and other states to discriminate against sexual preference and strip citizens of their protections, do not reflect who we are as a nation, and are ultimately, I believe, a threat to democracy,” Greenberg said.
A variety of other DEI-related pages were edited or removed from the webpage. 
This included information on its <a href="https://www.chubb.com/us-en/individuals-families/our-community/chubb-coal-policy.html">commitment</a> to no longer underwriting “the construction and operation of new coal-fired plants or new risks for companies that generate more than 30% of their revenues from coal mining or energy production from coal.”
Other information that was removed focused on programs <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20250815185311/https:/about.chubb.com/our-workforce/advancing-women.html">specifically</a> for women, <a href="https://archive.ph/YVG04">its</a> Global Climate Business Unit, and <a href="https://archive.ph/KabAD#selection-2297.12-2297.106">sponsorship</a> of a DEI festival.
“In our journey to become a more equitable workplace, Chubb has developed a series of accelerator programs around the world designed for women at all stages of their career,” it said on a now-removed page on “Accelerating Opportunities for Women.”
