Rebirth of the Silent Majority?

May God Bless America

Is it possible that America is seeing the rebirth of the silent majority? Well, it would seem so after the public’s reaction to Budweiser’s latest commercial promoting Bud Light with a transgender spokesperson. Not to be outdone, Target has also seen the plush back in their stores that were featuring transgender merchandise aimed at children. It appears that the silent majority are fed up with the push by corporate America to acknowledge the 1.8% (according to Reuters) who identify as transgender in our country. We should give Governor DeSantis credit and a round of applause for his actions in Florida to stop Disney’s Woke Transgender movement by taking away the special privileges bestowed upon them by the state and pressing hard to stop wokeism and CRT.

The power of the purse actually works as we have seen by the huge drop in sales of Budweiser where sales volumes of Bud Light for the week ending May 13 sank 28.4%. Talk about hitting them where it hurts. This precipitous drop in their sales tells volumes about the power of the people and how they can force these corporations to back down from their new WOKE agendas. What is even more exciting is how this boycott has caused Budweiser to lose$ 5 billion in capitalization as its stock fell like a rock. The stock was valued at $66.73 on March 31st. and is currently trading at $57.15 showing that the silent majority has the power to change this country when they stand together and use the power of the purse.

The ramifications for Target are very similar to Budweiser’s as their stock has also taken a nosedive since their venture into transgender children’s clothing. Target has lost $9 billion in market value since angry social media users called for a boycott of the Minneapolis-based retailer over its rollout of a transgender clothing line for kids. Since the boycott Target has moved this clothing line to the back of their stores as shoppers declare a June boycott of this WOKE corporation. Americans seem to forget that they can be a very powerful force when they choose where to spend their dollars and this is the first sign that they have finally woke up and are taking action.

What is interesting is that we are seeing both men and women engaged in pushback of these new corporate agendas with the men prominently involved in the boycott of Budweiser and the women being the driving force in the attack on Target. Talking with my granddaughter who is a good Christian she was totally appalled with this new line of clothing and spends more than a $1,000 a month at Target. I can assure you that she will not be shopping there in the month of June and maybe longer as this boycott has just begun.

What most people don’t know is that the drive to push these corporations onto this woke agenda starts with the three financial institutions (State Street Investments, Black Rock, and Vanguard) who control much of their stock in these corporations. They are the ones who have been influencing the decisions made by their boards of directors. These three institutions are the real problem as they control about 2 trillion in investments mostly from pensions, IRA, and 401k money. As I have said many times before we are our own worst enemy as we have given these investment behemoths the power to change our country by allowing them to invest our money. They are at the root of the problem as they are the Wall Street elitists who control in many cases such large amounts of stock, they can basically tell these corporations what to do and we see that is exactly what they have done. If you want to stop this woke influence, we are currently experiencing you need to find alternative investment vehicles to run your pension and IRA money who are not interested in changing corporate agendas but only increasing your investment performance.

While Budweiser and Target are ultimately responsible for their products and how they market them, it is these large investment companies influence behind these decisions, forcing management to implement these woke agendas. This all comes down to Money, Power, and Control and we have given that power to these elitists who are trying to change our values as Christians. Ultimately, we are the ones responsible for the problems that are occurring today, and we are the only ones who can fix these problems. While we place a lot of the blame on Joe Biden and the progressives it is the elitists who have been instrumental in putting these tyrants in to power.

Our country has been under siege for quite some time, but Americans are like the Frog who is placed in the pot of cold water, as the heat is turned up slowly the frog doesn’t notice that he is being cooked till it is too late. It is not much different in how the neocons and the progressives have been working on changing our country for the last two decades. If it were not for Trump beating Hillary, the temperature of the water would have already killed us. I will say the fight is not over and you can bet your last dollar or possibly your last digital dollar that they have not given up as they continue to allow Biden to get away with the crimes of the century and attack Trump every chance they get.

While we have seen how we can affect corporate decisions by boycotting them, there is a simpler way to restore power to the people. First: Remove the money from these evil institutions who are influencing these changes. Second: bring Trump back into office in 2024 to finish the job he started by ridding America of the Bureaucratic Virus that has infected our political system.
