Coca Cola Abandons American Ideas

Now that we have entered the new world of diversity, inclusion and equity, the acronym DIE aptly applies. While schools have long been involved in these activities, businesses have now voluntarily adopted or been forced to accept this left-wing ideology as well.

Consequently, Coca-Cola has sent out notices to law firms demanding that the company will "require diversity among law firms who bill it for work in the United States and reduce payments if they do not comply."

Because of pressure from the Marxist, anti-American Black Lives Matter, many Fortune 500 companies have pledged to address alleged racial inequality more aggressively.

In fact, there is almost a competition among firms to see who gets the highest score of diversity and inclusion. How is this accomplished?

To determine the Best Workplaces for Diversity, Fortune partnered with Great Place to Work® to analyze anonymous survey feedback representing more than 4.8 million US employees.

The Best Workplaces for Diversity list focuses on the experiences of women, people of color, LGBTQ people, employees who are Boomers or older, and people who have disabilities. The ranking is based on what these employees themselves report in a 60-question Trust Index© survey about the trust, pride and camaraderie they experience in their workplace, and how those experiences compare to their colleagues’ reports of the same workplaces. Great Place to Work also consider[s] employees’ daily experiences of innovation, the company’s values, and the effectiveness of their leaders, to ensure they’re consistently experienced, as well.

The remaining 15 percent of the rank is based on the diversity of the company’s overall workforce and its management, senior leadership and board, taking into account industry trends.

Coca Cola Company's Chief Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer, Lori George Billingsley, explains how Coca-Cola is creating a culture of diversity and inclusion.

The company that once touted "Red, White, and You," has come a long way to now being a leading proponent of the racism that is the underbelly of diversity.

Thus, Coca-Cola's general counsel is urging law firms to "effect real systemic change" by adhering to new requirements that [mandate that] outside counsel allocate a portion of work to diverse attorneys -- specifically Black lawyers -- or risk losing money or even future...

Trey Gowdy goes off on Kevin Clinesmith’s slap-on-the-wrist probation sentence: It’s not the FBI know

Former Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy decried the light sentence handed down to former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith who will not be spending “a single day in prison” for falsifying a document.

Hosting “Fox News Primetime” on Monday, the former House Oversight Committee chairman called out the slap on the wrist for Clinesmith, who pleaded guilty to altering an email in the Russia probe but was spared a prison sentence last week.

Gowdy spoke of “the FBI I know” during the Fox News Channel program, which he will be hosting all week. He blasted Clinesmith for abusing his power and using his position “to target political enemies.”

A U.S. judge last week sentenced the former bureau lawyer to one year’s probation and 400 hours of community service after he had pleaded guilty of falsifying a document related to the wiretapping of Carter Page, a former Trump campaign adviser.

“I worked with a lot of FBI agents when I was a federal and state prosecutor,” Gowdy said Monday.

“Every one of those agents I worked with, you would be proud to have as your next-door neighbor and a coach of your kid’s team. That was the FBI I know,” he added. “But that was not the FBI in charge. I never met or worked with an FBI agent like Peter Strzok. When I was a prosecutor, I never met an FBI agent or employee who would let his own political opinions influence his work. I never worked with an FBI lawyer like...

Reporter suggests there is a concern that Trump could ‘misuse’ or ‘leverage’ intelligence ‘to enrich himself’

Joe Biden is considering revoking President Trump’s access to intelligence briefings, according to his press secretary, after a reporter cited Democrats’ concern that Trump could ‘misuse’ or ‘leverage it to enrich himself’.

All former Presidents usually retain access to intelligence briefings, yet press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that Biden’s national security team is ‘reviewing’ Trump’s clearance on the matter.

This is somewhat rich considering the evidence of Biden’s shady under the table deals with foreign entities, as reported on by the New York Post last year, leading to censorship of the outlet by big-tech.

Speaking of which, Psaki noted in the same conference Monday that the Biden administration is eager to work with social media overlords to crack down on ‘hate speech’.

The topic was stoked after a reporter asked Psaki if Trump’s removal from social media platforms has helped make COVID relief negotiations easier:

The comments come a day after the latest exposé by Project Veritas revealed hours of video obtained by an anonymous Facebook insider with Mark Zuckerberg and other executives admitting that they ‘have too much power’, and displaying their blatant...
