Democratic Party Base Has Been "Overtaken By Angry Women"

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,

As we’ve previously highlighted, Democrats have lost culture.

With that comes another massive problem for them. The kind of people they attract.

Conservative pundit Mollie Hemingway provided Democrats with a simple home truth Wednesday, that once again explains why they’re doomed.

During an appearance on Fox News, Hemingway was asked to explain why extreme left Rep. AOC has been so intent on verbally attacking former swimmer turned gender ideology critic Riley Gaines.

Hemingway noted that “the base of the Democrat party really has become angry women.”

“And women who are angry tend to be very mean to other women who are smarter or prettier or more successful or braver than they are, and that’s what we’re seeing here,” she added.

“The idea that any member of Congress would claim that anyone in the country doesn’t have a real job, which was her, you know, insult most recently against Riley Gaines, it’s just laughable,” Hemingway asserted.

“Particularly laughable when we’re dealing with a government shutdown caused by AOC and her buddies deciding that they don’t want to do any work right now,” the pundit further stressed.

“But it’s a situation where the entire party has kind of been overtaken by angry women, and that is going to cause a little bit of a political challenge for them,” she outlined.

The Democrats are the Party of Karens.

Time To Curb The Violence

Authored by Mark Penn & Andrew Stein via RealClearPolitics,

Even back to the days of Charles Manson, a violent cult leader, there were pockets of people who cheered and reveled in violence. But all too common today are the groupies who adulate the CEO killer, the social media maven who praises the assassination of Charlie Kirk, or the miscreant who says they wish presidential assassins had been successful.

In today’s social-media fueled world, every heinous act of violence spawns a great majority of people of condemn it and a smaller counter-reaction of people who cheer it and call for more. Maybe this was always the case, but those who supported such violence could not as easily band together as they can today. Social media allows the violence lovers to find like-minded individuals, legitimizing their response, further encouraging future violence.

Kirk held no elected office. His only weapons were words and open debate. Despite this, nearly one in five Americans shockingly declared in surveys that his assassination was justified, according to a Harvard CAPS Harris poll. The path to such thoughts is clear. The opposition on the left characterized Kirk’s positions as “hate” despite his willingness to debate anyone anywhere. Once his speech was then characterized as violence – the resultant deadly violence became justified.  

Almost 3 in 4 voters (72%) decry today’s polarizing political rhetoric as a cause of contemporary violence, and over 4 in 5 state it is unacceptable for their own political party to use violence to achieve its aims.  

Notably, though, 74% of GOP voters see Democrats’ rhetoric as too extreme, compared to just the 27% who call their own party extreme. The effect is mirrored on the other side of the aisle, with 84% of Democrats calling the GOP too extreme, but a mere 33% saying the same of their own party. This drive of the parties to polarize the electorate rather than convince swing voters is reflected in the current pointless government shutdown. The political coin of the realm these days is in satisfying the base with increasingly incendiary words and actions.

That said, voters from all sides agree on the destructive role of social media, with 64% stating that social media encourages violent behavior.   

Un-Realized

 

No Way Out

Submitted by QTR's Fringe Finance

Back in the distant past of 2010, Ben Bernanke sat before Congress and lied his ass off assured everyone that quantitative easing was “temporary” and would be “reversed” once the emergency had passed.

It was supposed to be a short-lived anomaly, a controlled detour from monetary orthodoxy. The balance sheet would shrink, markets would normalize, and the Fed would quietly step back into the shadows.

Here we are fourteen years later. The detour has become the highway.

Keeping with the adage of “there’s nothing more permanent than a temporary government program”, this week, the Federal Reserve effectively threw in the towel on quantitative tightening, announcing that the steady runoff of its asset portfolio will halt.

Balance sheet reduction has ended—not with a bang, but with a nervous clearing of the throat. The same central bank that insisted it could unwind trillions in emergency asset purchases now quietly concedes that those assets are not going anywhere.

“Temporary” has matured into a permanent fixture of the Federal Reserve System, as I knew would happen 7 years ago ago when I wrote an article called “The Fed Is Gutless And By The Time We Realize, It’ll Be Too Late”.

The largest obstacle is the Fed’s own balance sheet. The central bank bought trillions of dollars in mortgage-backed securities at ultra-low yields, driving mortgage rates to levels that helped inflate an enormous housing bubble. These securities now sit underwater. The Fed earns roughly 2 percent on them while paying close to 5 percent to fund them.

It is losing money every single day by holding assets it cannot afford to sell.

“F*ck.” - Jerome Powell (probably)

And it truly cannot sell them. The Fed owns nearly a quarter of the entire agency mortgage-backed securities market. If it attempted to liquidate those holdings, mortgage markets would seize up almost immediately. Rates would spike, home prices would dive, and taxpayers would take the mother of all loss realizations—hundreds of billions of dollars that the Fed has kept conveniently tucked under the “unrealized” label. The balance sheet would implode on impact, and Congress—normally uninterested in the arcana of central bank accounting—would suddenly become very interested.

That political risk alone guarantees inaction. No Fed Chair wants their legacy to be “person who accidentally sparked a housing and banking crisis by admitting that the balance sheet was a financial sinkhole.” Safer, apparently, to let the problem slowly bleed out and hope the public doesn’t notice.

Ending QT is the clearest admission yet that the Fed has no realistic path back to pre-crisis monetary conditions. The balance sheet grew from just over $4 trillion to nearly $9 trillion during the Covid era, and rather than meaningfully reduce that footprint, policymakers are now floating the possibility that asset purchases could resume in the not-too-distant future. In other words, quantitative tightening may already be over for good. The new normal is the old emergency policy, relabeled as stability.

The Fed is trapped between inflation and insolvency. Raise rates further, and its portfolio losses deepen while financial markets buckle. Cut rates aggressively, and inflation revives before the public has forgotten the last round. The system has become dependent on cheap liquidity, and withdrawing that support risks revealing how fragile the structure beneath it truly is.

Watch: "Petrified" Woman Details Brutal Reality Of Lawless, Borderless Britain

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,

A clip of a TalkTV caller from London has gone viral after she expressed her extreme distress over rising violence in her area, particularly stabbings, in the wake of yet another horrific incident Tuesday.

As we earlier highlighted, an innocent man walking his dog in West London was brutally stabbed to death for no reason whatsoever by an illegal Afghan migrant, with two others being seriously injured by the knife wielding maniac.

It was quickly ascertained that the suspect arrived into the country completely illegally on the back of a lorry, yet was granted leave to remain in 2022.

The caller, a woman named Sarah, was explained that she lives near Hillingdon, the area where the attack yesterday was carried out. 

She noted that since moving into her house in 2019, her local shop has experienced three stabbings and one murder.

“My friend was murdered last year up on The High Street. A girl that I know was murdered in South Ball Park. Government are failing us. We’re scared for our children,” the caller urged.

“I have a 22-year old son and I’m begging him to move out of this country,” she continued, adding “What are these politicians doing to us? They’re putting our children in so much danger. They put everyone in danger and they’re doing nothing to help us.”

She then expressed deep frustration that despite being peaceful people, the community feels pushed to take action because their concerns are not being addressed.

“They’re pushing us to do something that we don’t want. We are peaceful people. British people never revolt against their government. They’re going to push us to it because they are not listening to us. Please, our friends, our family are dying,” the woman pleaded.

“I don’t leave the house without a man,” she further revealed, urging “everyone I know is getting stabbed. They’re getting raped in parks. This is where I live, not where the politicians live.”

She then directly addressed British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, stating “if you’re listening to this, please do something. I’m petrified. I’ve never broken the law in my life. I have been a law abiding citizen, a civil servant. Please do something. It’s us that are dying on the streets.”

At time of writing, Starmer has not said anything about yesterday’s stabbing spree.

“You talk about being racist,” the tearful caller further stated, referring to Starmer’s repeated characterisation of those concerned about rampant illegal immigration as “far right.”

“We’re not racists,” the woman stressed, adding “My sister’s mixed race. I was a white child brought up in a mixed-race family, it’s nothing to do with race.”

Other callers were furious with rage.

House Oversight Committee Says Biden Autopen Pardons Are Null And Void

A GOP led House Oversight Committee has submitted a report to Attorney General Pam Bondi asserting that former president Joe Biden’s “cognitive decline” was so severe he may not have been aware of pardons he allegedly signed by autopen. 

Republicans argue that the proper course is to err on the side of caution given evidence of Biden's decaying mental condition - Even if the President was made aware of the sweeping documents rather than his aides using his autopen signature to falsify the pardons, it is likely that he still had no understanding of what the documents actually contained. 

Conservatives on the committee advise Bondi that the 4,245 presidential pardons and commutations issued by the Democrat, 82, should therefore be placed under review and could be considered invalid.  Republican Senator Josh Hawley chimed in on the issue, expressing deep concerns over some of the Biden signatures, including commuted sentences for multiple criminals who victimized children.

The report has been published only a month after one of former President Joe Biden's top aides - Jeff Zients, told the House Oversight Committee that an aide with his email credentials was green lighting some of the most controversial 'autopen' pardons, that Hunter Biden - who received an insane pardon himself - was involved in the pardon discussions, and that Joe Biden's brain was pea soup.

Hunter received a "full and unconditional" pardon for his crimes in early December, just under two months before Joe left office.  Biden approved nearly 2,500 commutations on Jan. 17, days before leaving the White House, (and issued over 4,200 in total over his term) - the most of any US president, and the most ever in a single day.

If Bondi moves forward with the investigation into the autopen scandal, it could open up a flurry of prosecutions including cases against Hunter Biden.

The panel “deems void President Biden’s executive actions that were signed using the Autopen, and the committee determines that action by the Department of Justice is warranted to address the legal consequences of that determination,” it said in its letter to Bondi, published Tuesday.

The Biden family is also subject to renewed investigation over ongoing suspicions that they misused their political positions to collect bribes from foreign officials in exchange for favors (influence peddling).  Biden did not pardon himself before leaving office, likely because of presidential immunity for "official acts" as determined by the Supreme Court in 2024.

Biden's presidency was rife with disinformation and a number of constitutional violations, from lies about Biden's mental health to lies about his administration's involvement in mass censorship.  His office then wrapped itself, its aides and it's allies in pardons upon exiting the White House as a means to avoid any future culpability.  It would be a travesty (for him and his family) if those pardons turned out to be null and void.

Nearly 100,000 Young Men Flee Ukraine In 2 Months Following Loosened Restrictions

Media reports in Europe, including in The Telegraph and Politico, are this week documenting a new massive surge in young men fleeing Ukraine in order to not be conscripted, in which case they could be sent to front lines and face certain death.

"Almost 100,000 fighting-age Ukrainian men have left the country in the past two months after Volodymyr Zelensky eased departure rules, new figures show," The Telegraph reports.

Image source: AP

The figures are primarily based on the Polish border guard, as the neighboring EU country shares a long border with Ukraine, and has been from the start of the war absorbing refugees and trying to maintain strict counts and records.

"Poland’s border guard said 99,000 Ukrainian men aged between 18 and 22 had crossed the frontier – the primary route out of the country – since regulations to ensure that Kyiv had enough soldiers were relaxed at the end of August," The Telegraph writes, and then reminds readers: "In comparison, the entire British Army has around 70,000 personnel."

Even after well over three years of grinding war and a huge loss of men in the fighting, there is yet no mobilization of those aged 18 to 25 in Ukraine. This fact has time and again angered American politicians, who have pressed Kiev to have standards in line with most of the rest of the world's militaries. 

At the tail end of the Biden administration, Zelensky's office had the audacity to shift blame onto the West for not getting enough weapons to the front lines, arguing that more manpower would make little difference if there's not enough weapons and ammo to go around.

"It doesn’t make sense to see calls for Ukraine to lower the mobilization age, presumably in order to draft more people, when we can see that previously announced equipment is not arriving on time. Because of these delays, Ukraine lacks weapons to equip already mobilized soldiers," a statement said at the time.

Russian Oil Giant Lukoil Selling International Assets After Trump Sanctions

Authored by Tom Ozimek via The Epoch Times,

Russian oil company Lukoil said it plans to sell its international assets after sanctions imposed by the Trump administration targeted the company and fellow Russian energy giant Rosneft in a bid to pressure Russia into ending the war in Ukraine.

The company announced the decision on Oct. 27, saying that the move was a response to “restrictive measures” imposed by several countries, including the United States. The sanctions—announced by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) on Oct. 22—froze Lukoil’s assets in the United States and barred U.S. companies and individuals from doing business with the company and its subsidiaries.

“Lukoil informs that owing to introduction of restrictive measures against the Company and its subsidiaries by some states the Company announces its intention to sell its international assets,” the oil giant said in a statement.

The company stated that it had begun “consideration of bids from potential purchasers” and would seek an extension of its OFAC “wind-down license” if it needs more time beyond the Nov. 21 grace period deadline to complete transactions.

‘Tremendous Sanctions’

The sanctions are part of U.S. President Donald Trump’s effort to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin to halt military operations in Ukraine and agree to a cease-fire. They represent the first major round of economic penalties imposed on Moscow since Trump’s return to the White House for a second term.

“I just felt it was time,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Oct. 22 while hosting NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. “These are tremendous sanctions. We hope they won’t be on for long. We hope that the war will be settled.”

The measures cover Rosneft and Lukoil, which together account for more than half of Russia’s crude oil exports, and nearly three dozen of their subsidiaries. They also open the door to secondary sanctions on foreign banks and companies that continue doing business with the blacklisted companies, effectively cutting off access to the U.S. financial system for violators.

“Now is the time to stop the killing and for an immediate ceasefire,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who oversees OFAC, said in an Oct. 22 statement. “Given President Putin’s refusal to end this senseless war, Treasury is sanctioning Russia’s two largest oil companies that fund the Kremlin’s war machine. Treasury is prepared to take further action if necessary to support President Trump’s effort to end yet another war.”

Lukoil’s international holdings are extensive, spanning 11 countries, including oil refineries in Bulgaria, Romania, and the Netherlands and stakes in upstream projects in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Iraq, Egypt, Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana, Mexico, the United Arab Emirates, and the Republic of the Congo.

The sanctions are a sharp turn from Trump’s earlier strategy of restraint while pursuing diplomatic channels to end the war. The president canceled a planned summit with Putin in late October, saying that talks had become “a waste of time.” His administration has also pressed countries such as India and China to curb Russian oil imports and warned of penalties for noncompliance.

The UK also imposed sanctions on Lukoil on Oct. 15, with British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper citing the need to pressure Russian leadership into a cease-fire.

“At this critical moment for Ukraine, Europe is stepping up,” Cooper said in a statement.

Food Stamps To Be Paused For 42 Million Americans: What To Know...

Food stamps are set to be paused on Nov. 1 because of the government shutdown.

Some 42 million Americans will not receive benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) until Congress approves new funding, according to federal officials, although some states have taken steps to intervene.

Congress made money available for SNAP for October before failing to reach a new government funding agreement, which resulted in the government shutting down on Oct. 1, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said in a letter to regional and state SNAP officials.

There is not enough money to pay full SNAP benefits to the approximately 42 million SNAP recipients in November, the USDA says.

“Bottom line, the well has run dry,” the USDA said on Oct. 25.

“At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01.”

As Ryan McMaken details below, via The Mises Institute, according to the Treasury Department’s report on federal spending for fiscal year 2025, total spending on food stamps—also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)—was $106 billion for the twelve-month period ending September 30. Even in our post-covid age of runaway monetary inflation, 106 billion dollars is still, as they say, “real money,” and SNAP spending doesn’t even include other food-subsidy programs like WIC and school lunch programs.  

In spite of much talk about how the Trump administration is supposedly defunding these programs, they’re not going anywhere. For the calendar year of 2025, the US is on pace to see an increase of six to seven billion dollars over 2024’s SNAP spending total of $99.7 billion. This only continues the longer term upward trend in food-stamp spending. 

Indeed, since the Great Recession (i.e., 2008), when total SNAP spending was $52 billion, total spending on the program has doubled—even when measured in inflation-adjusted dollars. 

The number of food-stamp recipients has “only” increased by 47 percent over that same period, meaning that per-capita spending for recipients has gone up.

In 2008, total SNAP spending per recipient was $1,847. By 2024, overall  per-recipient spending had increased by 30 percent, rising to $2,393. 

The overall trend continues upward although the biggest increases occurred during the first Obama administration, during the Biden years, and under Trump’s mega-spending increases of 2020. 

Since 2010, the total percentage of the US population that is on food stamps has not fallen below 12 percent. 

Nationwide, the total percentage of the population receiving food stamps can vary significantly by state, and region. Measured state-by-state, we find that more than one in five residents of New Mexico receive food stamps. In Utah, on the other hand, fewer than one in twenty receive food stamps. 

There are sizeable differences by race and ethnicity as well. Although they comprise 58 percent of the US population, non-Hispanic whites account for only 36.5 percent of all SNAP recipients. Blacks comprise about 26 percent of SNAP recipients although blacks are only 12 percent of the US population. Asians comprise 3.3 percent of the food-stamp recipient population. Those who self-identify as Hispanic (of any race) comprise 16 percent of the recipient population. (Note: according to the Census Bureau data used here, “Hispanic” is classified as an ethnicity and not a race. Since fifty percent of Hispanics self-identify as “white,” self-identified whites actually comprise 71 percent of the population, not 58 percent. (Pew studies suggest that 58 percent of Hispanics self-identify as white.)

Source: “Characteristics of SNAP Households, 2019“, 2020 Census tables P3, P4, P7

Immigration status can be a factor as well. According to the Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), more than a third of immigrant-headed households receive food stamps or some other form of food subsidy such as WIC. Nearly half of households headed by illegal-immigrants receive food stamps. (This data is from the 2022 SIPP report.) The percentage for native-born households, on the other hand, is 25 percent. (Note: This is a household number, so is not comparable to the total percentage of individuals in the US population who receive food stamps.)

Source: CIS analysis of 2022 SIPP report data. 

In any case, it is remarkable that one in 8 US residents now receive food stamps, and during a period when the “official” opinion is that the US economy is in excellent shape and in a boom period.

This disconnect is due to two factors:

First, it has become easier to qualify for food stamps over the past 15 years.

Moreover, aggregated data about the overall economy hides the fact that economic conditions for lower income households is not nearly as good as that of higher-income groups.

In many cases, thanks largely to the central bank and its monetary inflation, income and wealth have stagnated for middle- and lower- income groups while net worth and income has soared for those who own large amounts of assets and benefit from the financialized economy.

Russian Infantry Operating Inside Pokrovsk - Strategic Ukrainian City's Fall Imminent

The key logistical hub of Ukraine's eastern front - Pokrovsk, has been under steady contention for much of the past year, with Russian forces spending slow, methodical efforts pushing westward to flank just south of the city. 

For the majority of the war Pokrovsk has acted as the logistical hub and rear operations base for Ukraine's eastern defensive lines. It sits astride both a key railroad juncture and the highway to Ukraine’s fourth-largest metro, Dnipro.  The city's defensive positions are a final obstacle to Russia's access to most of the region. If Pokrovsk falls Russian forces will be able to more easily flank entrenched troops in the north and south of the country.

It's capture at this point looks imminent, given Ukrainian media is confirming Russian infantry have infiltrated the main logistical district of the city. It's somewhat sizeable, as it had a prewar population of some 60,000.

"At least 200 Russian infantry armed with automatic rifles, machine guns, and hand-held rockets were moving freely in the southern districts of city, at times ambushing Ukrainian defense forces still generally in control of central and northern districts, according to public statements by army officers to Ukrainian media," according to Kyiv Post on Wednesday.

Russia's military has said that Ukrainian forces have been suffering steady and immense losses seeking to defend Pokrovsk.

"Every day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) sends up to 120 soldiers to the town of Krasnoarmeysk (Ukrainian name - Pokrovsk) in the Donetsk People’s Republic, which indicates its enormous losses in the area," military expert Vitaly Kiselev told TASS."

"The enemy still has a strong hold on the city, and has no plans of retreating," he said. "They still have equipment and manpower here, all the more so that small units of about 15-20 men are being regularly sent there as reinforcements."

"In fact, groups of 15-20 people arrive there five or six times a day. This shows enormous losses in this area," the analyst added.

The loss of the primary rail lines and highway routes in and out of Pokrovsk would cut resources to Ukrainian units across the Donbas and possibly force them to retreat before running out of supplies. This would mean an immediate and sweeping Russian advance all along the eastern lines.

Venezuela Takes Action Against Trinidad & Tobago Over Hosting US Warship

Venezuela considers Trinidad and Tobago's cooperation with the US military as the Trump White House prepares for possible military action against the Caracas government to be a hostile act.

This after on Sunday the USS Gravely, which is outfitted with guided missiles, arrived in Trinidad to conduct joint exercises with Trinidad’s navy, but which was seen as a deep provocation by Caracas. 

Via Reuters

For starters, Venezuela's vice president Delcy Rodriguez said that key energy agreements with Trinidad and Tobago have been effectively canceled.

"Rodriguez, who is also Venezuela’s minister of hydrocarbons, said she would ask President Nicolas Maduro to withdraw from a 2015 agreement that enables neighboring countries to carry out joint natural gas exploration projects in the waters between both nations," AP detailed. After this, President Maduro declared, "I have approved the measure."

The USS Gravely is actually one of the very US naval vessels which has been involved in the campaign to destroy alleged drug trafficking speedboats off the Venezuelan coast.

"The prime minister of Trinidad has decided to join the war mongering agenda of the United States," Vice President Rodriguez said on national television Monday.

By Tuesday, Venezuela declared Trinidad and Tobago’s Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to be persona non grata amid the escalating tensions.

Venezuela’s National Assembly quickly voted to impose the measure against Persad-Bissessar, formally barring her from entering the country.

But interestingly Persad-Bissessar hit back, telling AFP, "Why would they think I would want to go to Venezuela?"

A mere seven miles of ocean lies between Trinidad and Venezuela at their closest point, but the Trinidad government is among the few Caribbean leaders to be openly supporting the major US military campaign in the region.

Danish Commercial Warns White Citizens About Breeding With Other Whites

Like it or not, advertising is culture.  Marketing is an expression of a society's norms, values and demographics.  It is meant to serve the free market by appealing to either a target demographic or the most common demographic as a way to sell products and services.  That said, advertising can also be used as propaganda, designed to sell ideologies rather than soda, cars and insurance.

This has been the primary setting of marketing in the west for at least the past ten years - The vast majority of commercials have political messaging embedded within them.  Though it might not be obvious for the unaware, once you notice the patterns it's impossible to avoid them. 

A new propaganda advertisement paid for by Denmark's state television and posing as a promotion for a science show called "Evolution."  

The commercial features an "expert" interrupting a white Danish couple as they flirt with each other.  He explains to them that the history of war in Denmark introduced foreign DNA into their gene pool which "protected them from disease".  He then compares their relationship to inbreeding and suggests they find new partners with more "exotic" genetics. 

The woman then smiles as if she's intrigued by the idea.

The series was originally created in 2020, but is now being re-aired with "inbreeding" ads this year.  Perhaps Danish TV is unaware of the rapid political shift away from woke propaganda from 2020 to 2025?  This messaging is a stark contrast from Denmark's "Do It For Denmark" ad campaign in 2014, which encouraged Danish couples to get busy and combat the nation's population decline by making more babies.  

Setting aside the lack of historical context and scientific accuracy, the inbreeding commercial plays into an ongoing trend of anti-white sentiment in advertising in Europe over the last decade.  It also is clearly meant to support the government's pro-mass immigration stance, which has led to Denmark's foreign numbers doubling to 16.3% of the population in less than ten years (as well as a 30% increase in violent crime over the same time period).   

One trend that has been noticed in Europe and the US is the increasing prevalence of minorities in advertising while white people (specifically white men) are greatly diminished.  In the UK, for example, the population is 83% white, but you wouldn't know by watching their advertisements.  Black citizens in the UK are 4% of the population, yet they make up over 50% of actors featured in commercials as noted in Channel 4's "mirror" data.  

One is hard pressed to find happy white couples in these ads.  Instead, mixed-race couples dominate marketing in the west, despite the fact that they represent only 10% of all marriages in the US and Europe.   

Mention this over-representation in the UK in a political setting, however, and you will be attacked as a racist.  The common retort:  "Why do you care?" 

But what would the progressive response be if minorities were being systematically removed from advertising below their percentage of the population?  Well, we already know how they would respond.

The Sidney Sweeney jeans/genes ad broadcast this summer for American Eagle triggered a salty firestorm among leftists who accused the company and Sweeney of "Nazi propaganda."  A beautiful white woman talking about her good genes was treated like the ultimate social crime.  Leftists couldn't handle just one commercial that stepped outside of their narrative. 

This is how much the political left cares about controlling the messaging of advertising.  They care because they believe that marketing is a tool for social engineering.  And, they seem to be particularly interested in getting rid of white couples, not just in media, but in the real world.
