Woke Star Trek Series Canceled After Embarrassing Critical Failure "Get Woke, Go Broke" wins once again. For many years the political left in Hollywood along with the allied progressive media argued that wokeness was the dominant social trend of our era. They claimed that any company that refused to adapt to the new far-left "modern audience" would be choking on the dust of companies that wrapped themselves in the rainbow flag. They asserted that the entertainment industry had to change and reflect this new ideological movement if they wanted to remain relevant and profitable. In reality, it was all a lie. The woke movement was a paper tiger, a sham, a con fabricated by a minority of insane activists and globalist NGOs. There was no sea change in the modern audience. Many companies were only convinced to play along because social media platforms like Twitter presented a false image of social trends. With centrist and conservative views being suppressed by algorithms, most visible forum discussions were left leaning. Above all, open criticism of woke ideas was treated as akin to "hate speech" and censored as much as possible. For the ecosystem of corporate CEOs and marketing execs, the leftist saturation online was convincing. But then again, the best way to measure the tangibility of a social movement is still money. If woke is dominant, then woke should bring in consumers and it should make a profit. There was no money. There were no consumers. There was no profit. All the propaganda and social media manipulation in the world is not enough to compel average people to spend their precious time or cash on woke entertainment. All anti-woke critics had to do was watch and wait as the dismal numbers rolled in for each new progressive project - It was objective, undeniable proof that woke is a gigantic fraud. That said, there are still a handful of far-left media bombs rolling into theaters and streaming services because production giants refused to see the writing on th...

David Sacks, the venture capitalist and tech billionaire who'd become Silicon Valley's primary advocate inside the White House and a key architect of its aggressive AI policy initiatives, revealed on Thursday that he was no longer a special government employee - and therefore no longer President Donald Trump's Special Advisor on AI and Crypto. Sacks' official status as an SGE allowed him to work simultaneously in the private sector and for the government, but for no more than 130 days, raising questions about why he was still in the job more than a year after his appointment. But in an interview with Bloomberg Television discussing the White … Read the full story at The Verge.

Pernod Ricard SA and Brown-Forman Corp. , the owner of Jack Daniel’s whiskey, are discussing a merger as the alcoholic drink companies look at ways to consolidate amid an industry downturn. The French beverages company and Louisville, Kentucky-based Brown-Forman said in separate but similar statements that they were in talks to combine, confirming an earlier report by Bloomberg News. “If agreed and subject to customary approvals, this partnership would be akin to a merger of equals, drawing from the talent and expertise of both companies, and creating value for shareholders of both companies,” Pernod said in its statement . Brown-Forman used similar wording in its release . Pernod added that it doesn’t intend to further communicate until an agreement is reached or discussions are terminated. The transaction being contemplated has a significant stock component, said people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified discussing private information. The family owners of both companies will likely both roll large stakes into the new company, with a deal still a few weeks away, the people said. Representatives for Pernod and Brown-Forman declined to comment further on the structure and timing of an agreement. While Brown-Forman’s owners haven’t been eager to sell the company, Pernod’s family ownership could help ease the way for a deal, JPMorgan Chase & Co. analysts said in a report Thursday. “We would assume that any deal would be stock-based, which would allow the Brown family to maintain a significant ownership stake and share in potential longer-term upside,” the analysts wrote. Class B shares of Brown-Forman rose as much as 21% on Thursday — an intraday record - before closing up 9.6% to $25.74 in New York trading, giving the company a market value of about $11.8 billion. Pernod closed down 5.7% in Paris, for a market capitalization of €15.1 billion ($17.4 billion). Brown-Forman, whose other brands include Fords Gin and Herradura tequila, has been battli...
