The 1792 Exchange, a corporate bias watchdog seeking to restore political neutrality in the boardroom and to altogether combat woke capital, has released another damning batch of insights into the extent of the ideological capture at America's Fortune 10 companies.

The watchdog's recent analysis — critical additions to a growing database that tracks the political preferences of board members and leaders inside Fortune 250 companies' C-suites — indicates that executives from America's top 10 companies, taken in aggregate, direct the super-majority of their political giving to Democrats. The 1792 Exchange further highlighted various public remarks suggestive of executives' prioritization of left-wing activism in the name of so-called stakeholders over results and returns for those shareholders who have everything on the line.

The 1792 Exchange indicated that executives from Fortune 10 companies give 77% of their political donations to Democrats and only 23% to Republicans. The political bias is especially clear at Amazon, Apple, and Alphabet, where the ratio of political giving to Democrats over Republicans apparently exceeds 9:1. Of the three corporate behemoths, 97%, 97%, and 95% of political donations went to Democrats, respectively.

Two outliers among the Fortune 10 in this regard are Chevron and Walmart, where 81% and 69% of political donations from executives and board members went to Republicans.

Matt Buckham, vice president for programs at the 1792 Exchange, told Blaze News, "What we see is instead of having a fair representation of viewpoints, instead of having a clear understanding that we are serving the shareholder, we see a massive tilt of 'We favor one party’s political opinions, one party’s ideas, one party’s ideology.'"

Buckham suggested that these executives should alternatively be focused on the business — on "doing what's good for the shareholder, what's good for the customer, and making the best product or service possible. Activism is the complete opposite of that."

"We don't want them to take harmful, left-wing, Democratic activist viewpoints and ideologies and incorporate them in a business with the pretense that it's helping the shareholders," continued Buckham. "We're trying to help companies avoid another Bud Light moment."

In an apparent effort to signal its woke alignment, Bud Light collaborated last year with transvestite influencer Dylan Mulvaney, celebrating his supposed "365 Days of Girlhood." The leftist activism hurt the company and shareholders by extension.

A boycott reacting to the company's apparent mockery of women successfully took Bud Light out of the ranking of America's list of top 10 beers, cost Anheuser-Busch tens of billions in market value, and prompted a purge of corporate employees. According to the Harvard Business Review, Bud Light's sales decline persisted for around eight months.

It is unclear whether the executives at America's Fortune 10 companies — Walmart, Amazon, ExxonMobil, Apple, UnitedHealth Group, CVS, Berkshire Hathaway, Alphabet, McKesson, and Chevron — have taken the Bud Light lesson to heart. It is clear, however, that many are predisposed to a potentially costly leftward drift.

Referencing public statements made by company directors in recent months and years, the 1792 Exchange report indicated that ESG and DEI are baked into executives' conversations and considerations.

The report highlighted, for instance, former PepsiCo. CEO and current Amazon Audit Committee chairman Indra Nooyi's sense that discriminatory hiring policies are the way forward.

"You have to put some quotas and numbers in place to get the appropriate critical mass of diverse people in," Nooyi is quoted as saying at a 2022 leadership event in Dubai. "Don't look at quotas as something bad. It's bad if it's not in the early stages. So if it's in the early stages, start with a quota. Insist that the numbers get to 25[-]30% diverse people."

"[Inclusion] starts with numbers and then becomes a mindset," continued Nooyi.

Nooyi is evidently not the only race obsessive with priorities besides profitability at Amazon.

Andy Jassy, the company's president and CEO, reportedly said, "If you knew what a lot of the senior leaders at Amazon spend their time on when they're not at work. They spend their time on issues of racial equality. People are very passionate about it. I spend a lot of my time on that, too, so I care a lot about it."

It appears even the directors at ExxonMobil have waved on the leftist march through corporate institutions.

The 1792 Exchange highlighted how Gregory Goff, an independent director at the oil giant since 2021, is among those who have bought into stakeholder capitalism contra shareholder capitalism.

"I would hope that a director or directors would never compromise those plans and [ESG] programs by maybe challenging how much money is being spent on the things that are the most important to do," said Goff.

Things are no better at the UnitedHealth Group where the company's so-called chief innovation officer Dame Vivian Hunt appears to be of the mindset that the company must embrace an activist role. Hunt noted at an Imperial College Business School conference, "We want to lead responsibly. Stakeholder capitalism is a framework to do so. It's new harmony with a brain, a balance sheet, as well as a heart."

Over at Google's parent company Alphabet, board member Roger Ferguson Jr., is apparently of the mind that capitalism is broken and needs to be fixed.

"Business leaders must embrace a new definition of capitalism that puts a greater emphasis on social responsibility and equity," Ferguson said at a 2021 gala where he was being honored. "The Business Roundtable took meaningful steps toward that goal when it redefined the purpose of the corporation to include a commitment to all stakeholders."

Paul Tice, an adjunct professor of finance at the Leonard N. Stern School of Business at New York University, indicated in his recent book, "The Race to Zero: How ESG Investing Will Crater the Global Financial System," that stakeholder capitalism theory, which began making the rounds in management circles around the 1960s, "argues that modern enterprises must serve not only shareholders but all company stakeholders — including employees, suppliers, and customers as well as the state, the economy, and society at large."

Tice suggested that stakeholder capitalism, particularly the kind championed by Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum, is built upon a corporatism "doubtless influenced by an engineering flow-chart mindset and a Prussian need to order society" that is "basically a collectivist political ideology with a dark lineage."

Buckham told Blaze News, "There's no end to what a stakeholder is or who a stakeholder is, so anybody and everybody can be one, they're loud."

"We're just saying [to company executives], 'Stop listening to everybody. Focus on your company — on what you do well, who you actually serve as the shareholder — and your company will do well," continued Buckham.

Just as Consumers' Research provides consumers with insights into how they can avoid giving woke companies their hard-earned cash, the 1792 Exchange — named in tribute to the founding of the first American stock exchange in 1792 — seeks to both chasten top executives and help investors "make sure that they know what's going on in the companies they're invested in."

Buckham indicated that the 1792 Exchange will keep furnishing investors with insights so they can avoid woke companies and have a hand in turning things around for the better.

A University of Mississippi fraternity kicked out a member who carried out "racist actions" during a counter-protest against pro-Palestinian students Thursday.

Time referred to a clip of a "student making racist gestures, seemingly imitating a monkey, toward a Black woman."

Phi Delta Theta General Headquarters stated Sunday that the "racist actions in the video were those of an individual and are antithetical to the values of Phi Delta Theta and the Mississippi Alpha chapter. The responsible individual was removed from membership on Friday, May 3."

In addition, the university opened a student conduct investigation over "actions that conveyed hostility and racist overtones," National Public Radio reported.

More from NPR:

One video shows a Black woman and a group of white male counterprotesters yelling at each other. In it, a man imitates the sounds and dance of a monkey toward the woman, while others in the crowd chant "Lock her up!"

In a letter to students and faculty the next day, university Chancellor Glenn Boyce said that "university leaders are aware that some statements made were offensive, hurtful, and unacceptable," and have launched an investigation into the conduct of one student. "We are working to determine whether more cases are warranted," he added.

"Behaviors and comments that demean people because of their race or ethnicity marginalize them and undermine the values that are fundamental to a civil and safe society," Boyce wrote.

The school's student government issued a statement saying “unacceptable remarks were made" during the incident that "departed from our cherished values.”

U.S. Rep. Mike Collins (R-Georgia) shared the now-viral video on X and captioned it, "Ole Miss taking care of business." Numerous commenters accused Collins of racism.

More than 200 students showed up to the counter-protest with U.S. flags and red, white, and blue attire to drown out a much smaller group of pro-Palestinian protesters.

The Clarion Ledger reported that the pro-Palestinian protesters were evacuated from campus.

WMC-TV said in its video report that a pro-Palestinian protester threw a water bottle into the crowd of counter-protesters — and then bottles and food were flying in both directions.

The nonbinary identity has opened a new market for carving up bodies in even more surreal and stunning ways than what has already become the insane norm. Expressing a nonbinary identity as a woman who is neither yin nor yang somehow now includes the elimination of nipples. (It could easily justify keeping them.) The resulting nipple-free look disturbingly departs from biological necessities.

Procreation, a huge driving force in many women’s lives, is overlooked in the clinician’s exclusive focus on what is aesthetically desired to appease the nonbinary, which exists somewhere outside the categories of male and female. Are nonbinaries born in the wrong body? And what is the right body they belong in? Is this like tall people trapped in short bodies? I mean, there’s no nonbinary knee or nonbinary nipple.

Enter predatory “yeet the teets” Dr. Sidhbh (unironically pronounced “scythe”) Gallagher, who features herself dancing to pop music on TikTok or appreciatively lip smacking while commenting on her post-op patients’ scars. An Irish immigrant who came here to train for innovative genital surgeries, Gallagher epitomizes the can-do attitude of the archetypal American business leader. 

A “modern day Mengele” by her own admission, Gallagher has described the genital procedures she performs as “Frankenstein surgeries.” She opted for private practice rather than hospital affiliation, where medical oversight and peer expectations would view her social media activity and patient abandonment negatively.

Having gone freelance, Gallagher is one of a handful of American doctors who perform high-risk genital surgeries that are not approved anywhere else. For instance, overweight individuals who are ruled out as candidates can book with Gallagher. But this comes with clear costs. Doing things like having regular follow up appointments does not appear to be Gallagher’s strong suit. Some patients report being met with denial, callously joked with and told to self-treat a bursting incision causing hematoma resulting in blood clots and deadly infection.

Offering nonbinary procedures and suggesting patients book their Miami hotel room in time for beachside fun, Gallagher carries no malpractice insurance. Some have asked why she left her practice to move to Miami, but her trail of injured patients and the state’s insurance loophole no doubt entered into the calculus, as an attorney has speculated.

TikTok and Gallagher’s constant self-promotion unfortunately has helped put America on the map for innovative nonbinary “affirmations.”

The nonbinary category itself is pure innovation, and as a scalable campaign, nonbinary is nonpareil. In America, where license can sneak by as “freedom,” nonbinary surgeries may seem freeing because they go beyond what is seen in nature and toward what trends on the Internet. Nothing is off limits means anything is possible: it’s the ultimate in “affirmation.”

Although the World Professional Association for Transgender Health fails to suggest the possibility, surgeons like Gallagher might not be affirming nonbinary at all. It takes a bit of reflection—admittedly asking a lot of WPATH—to understand how sex abuse survivors and others experiencing trauma might seek to become nonbinary.

Nonbinary has only one rule: to confuse sex classification. No other criterion holds. Even gender dysphoria is optional. For girls, nonbinary is the candy cigarette of the gender industry. Strategically claiming a nonbinary identity can seem a safe harbor away from medicalization; in actuality, nonbinary probably acts more often as a temporary safe zone eventually eroded as the terms of gender shift again. For the moment, nonbinary can feel safe since it can be variously construed according to personal preferences, with the sole caveat that it precludes marking identity as male or female on polls.

Compared to recent polling, this bar graph, which is adapted from Twenge J.M. (2023) Generations, looks at earlier data collected between 2021 and 2022. Stats for Gender posted it with the comment: “Among US adults, Gen-Z women are the most likely to identify as trans or non-binary.” Many view nonbinary identity as primarily a female phenomenon.

Recent estimates are that nonbinary represents more than one million Americans, most of whom are under 30 and female, and that number is rising. The nonbinary concept elevates nonconformity as an indeterminate identity—and that identity appears to be alive and morphing. Nonbinary can be viewed as Trans 2.0, upgraded to amplify identity in a new, edgier way.

For females, evidence of self-destructive impulses such as cutting can accompany the surgical self-erasure of the sexed body. For males, nonbinary may not require any surgery according to pundit Arielle Scarcella. Who knows? One small study showed nonbinary males receiving hormonal treatments; whereas nonbinary females sought surgical interventions. It’s not like anyone is fully keeping score, especially when nonbinary takes on an opportunistic contagion aspect as a “cope,” a way to “fit in” without having to maintain a totally male persona.

It is not a minor issue that the term “nonbinary” distorts empirical reality and confuses human relations. Nonbinary is not a visible thing—why eventually surgeries may feel essential to establish the feeling. In a 2022 study WPATH member Avery Ford, together with colleagues, precisely delineated reported aesthetic preferences in surgical modifications for nonbinary females, concluding, “Nonbinary patients seeking chest masculinization prefer fuller chests with larger, sensitive NAC [nipple placement / Nipple areolar complex] located closer to the chest meridian compared to transgender patients.” Scholarship in this area takes the form of market research.

A Trail of Sexual Dysfunction

While the demand for novelty surgeries may be generated by anything from the desire to stand out to self-hatred, they come with complications, even according to WPATH surgeons. They complain of improper and inadequate training inherent in the American consumer-led affirmation model of treatment. In a 20 year review study, the complication rate was 44  percent, half of which were considered serious. Additional surgeries, called “revisions,” were required in 17 percent of the cases. The already risky practice of genital surgeries can only be made more perilous by the further innovations brought to you by nonbinary.

Violating the sexed body to produce a facsimile of the opposite sex, typical genital procedures cannot fulfill nonbinary aspirations.

Nullification is a genital reconfiguration billed as a nonbinary surgical option. For women, nullification may entail a full hysterectomy accompanied by a vaginectomy—a partial or complete surgical excision of the vagina—traditionally done for cancer patients exclusively. Then the labia can be joined by sutures, resembling the universally condemned act of female genital mutilation, or the destruction of a woman’s genitalia for non-medical reasons. These horrendous surgical manipulations can involve skin grafts as well as reconnecting complicated blood vessels and nerve networks. Only an opening to urinate remains. However, patients can end up with serious bladder injuries and infections, making their ability to urinate painful or otherwise difficult.

Imagine the drafters of the once seemingly legitimate WPATH pausing before deciding to include nonbinary as requiring surgery on demand—I know it’s hard to imagine—but then galloping forward unbridled. After all, their latest “standards” included eunuchs, so they are not overly troubled by the possibility of spurring an uptick in surgeries inspired by porn addictions. In his coverage of these horrors, one pundit reminds his viewers that WPATH President Dr. Marci Bowers is famous for peering down at his celebrity patient Jazz Jennings, comparing him to a porn star.

Self-described kink therapist Laura Jacobs, who helped draft the WPATH standards, sounds like a pitchman for innovative surgeries. Investigations by Reduxx and other pro-woman outlets reveal Jacobs, who talks about not knowing his own gender, is openly fetishistic. Jacobs favors genitals that resemble flowers or abstract sculptures as harbingers of a transhumanist future. In his response, JP Sears emphasizes Jacobs’s view of genitals as “multidimensional” and “amorphic,” revealing a deeply confused individual who is taking a lead role as a gender educator. Gender theorizing is here disclosed as mere paraphilia.

Jacobs’s bizarre overconfidence in technology is also expressed by fellow WPATH member Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy. A surgeon responsible for regularly performing double mastectomies on the healthy breasts of gender-confused girls, Olson-Kennedy likewise displays callous, magical thinking with regard to the possibility of future regret on the part of girls as young as 13, saying that girls she has operated on can simply “go and get” breast implants.

Gender medicine has continually shifted, not just by utilizing robotic technology, but by affirming “identities” rather than gender based on sex. Seemingly made to order for the American approach to identity struggles, medicalizing nonbinary identities requires progressively innovative surgeries for these fantastical identities to be realized. However, continued support of gender medicine is increasingly untenable, and it’s not just because of WPATH’s clear lunacy. Anyone even taking a quick glimpse into the abyss of sexual lobotomy—for that is what these surgeries amount to—is never the same. And the peculiarly American embrace of all things nonbinary illustrates the point.

U.S. — Americans braced for what appeared to be a bright, joyous summer and the nation let out a collective cheer as college campus protesters announced plans to stay inside tents indefinitely.

Controversy erupted at the Kansas Speedway late Sunday after NASCAR witnessed a historic finish.

A late race-caution sent the AdventHealth 400 into overtime, setting up a fantastic two-lap shootout to the checkered flag. On the overtime restart, driver Chris Buescher took the lead and seemed poised for his first win of the season, leading driver Kyle Larson into the final turn. But Larson somehow managed to drive to Buescher's outside — and it was a drag race to the start-finish line.

What happened next was the closest finish in NASCAR Cup Series history: a margin of victory of 0.001 seconds or "roughly 1 inch," according to NASCAR.

At first, it looked like Buescher had prevailed. His transponder — a device NASCAR uses for timing and scoring — had registered him ahead of Larson.

But after NASCAR officials checked their high-speed cameras at the finish line, they determined that Larson won the race. But controversy quickly erupted when fans noticed the finish line painted onto the race track is not straight.

It turns out, according to NASCAR reporter Jeff Gluck, that the finish line painted onto the racing surface is not the exact finish line.

Instead, high-speed cameras set up in the pit area shoot a "laser" toward the finish line, and that line is the one that counts as the official start-finish line. The high-speed cameras "take photos at about 6,000-8,000 frames per second when any car crosses the finish line," explained Fox Sports reporter Bob Pockrass.

In fact, the technology is the same laser technology used at the Kentucky Derby.

The picture that NASCAR officials used to determine that Larson had won clearly shows his No. 5 car ahead of Buescher's No. 17 car.

"They showed us the picture they create using the lasers. We were just wondering if they were using the painted line or not — they don't," said Scott Graves, crew chief for Buescher's team. "It's actually they have a photo system that is a lot more accurate than that. They showed us the picture of it, and it is what it is."
