Taylor Lorenz
A former Washington Post reporter and social media personality, Lorenz made several celebratory and threatening social media posts in the wake of the assassination of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. In one Bluesky post that referenced Blue Cross Blue Shield not covering anesthesia for some surgeries, Lorenz wrote, “And people wonder why we want these executives dead.” (sic) Lorenz also posted a picture of Blue Cross Blue Shield CEO Kim Keck on X and Bluesky after the news broke of Thompson’s execution, insinuating a call for violence against another health insurance executive. And in an interview with Piers Morgan, Lorenz said she felt “joy” after learning of Thompson’s assassination.

Aidan Smith
An HR Analyst at UCLA Health according to his since deleted LinkedIn profile, in November 2024 Smith allegedly made threatening remarks to author J.K Rowling and Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC). In response to a tweet Rowling made about John Oliver, Smith stated, “I hope someone m*****s this b*tch soon.” In the same month, Smith allegedly sent a threatening, expletive-laden voicemail to Mace’s office in response to the congresswoman’s transgender bathroom policy, stating he hopes she commits suicide. Smith followed up by saying he will “pray to GOD” that Mace commits suicide. Shortly after these incidents went viral, Smith took down his pages on X and Bluesky (@Aidanrts), but as of December 2024 his X page is active but on “protected” status, and his Bluesky page is also active. Despite the evidence, Smith denies involvement in making the voicemail.

Comrade Workwear
A self-proclaimed socialist apparel company, shortly after the assassination of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, Comrade Workwear launched a card game titled “Most Wanted CEO.” According to James Harr the CEO of Comrade Workwear, the cards are inspired by the “Most Wanted Iraqi” card games distributed to coalition forces to target and kill Saddam Hussein’s inner circle during the Gulf War. Harr has made social media posts with images saying, “the CEO must die.” The flipside of the cards in the game includes an image of a red human silhouette gun range target, and the reverse side has the name of a specific CEO or influential person. The game has been heavily criticized for inciting violence and potentially inspiring copycat assassinations.
Fox News: Harley Davidson, Jaguar, Mattel, Olympics among NTC’s 2024 “Worst of the Woke” award winners
In an exclusive story, Fox News announced the launch of NTC’s 2024 Worst of the Woke Awards, the annual list which documents the most egregious woke offenders of the calendar year. Winners of the award this year include Harley Davidson, Jaguar, Mattel, and the Olympics. Read about why they made the list and more here.
New Tolerance Campaign Announces 2024 “Worst of the Woke” Awards
Super Bowl LVIII, The Olympics, Harvard, and More Among the Top 10 Worst Woke Offenders of the Year Washington, DC — Today the New Tolerance Campaign (NTC), a grassroots watchdog organization, unveiled its fourth annual “Worst of the Woke” Awards — a look back at the year’s most outrageous headline-grabbing instances of woke-run-wild in the United States. In 2024, 10 institutions went to extremes pressing a woke agenda on a weary public: DEI in Star Wars, drag queens at The Olympics, “nonbinary” toys and more all made the cut. See the full list of “Worst of the Woke” Award winners — as well as this year’s “Champion of Tolerance” — below: Award Winner: “The Acolyte”* Reason: Disney hoped for a hit but ended up with a messy miss following the disastrous rollout of “The Acolyte.” The Star Wars spinoff crashed and burned, cancelled after only one season for the most predictable reason: it refused to stay true to Star Wars lore and instead sought to shoehorn as much DEI into every episode as possible: an all-lesbian coven of Force Witches lamenting the galaxy not accepting “women like us,” asking an alien for its pronouns, a pronounced emphasis on race and more all featured in the show. Series creator Leslie Headland even went on-record, stating that the inclusion of “queer” communities in the program was deliberate because it “would be natural” in an all-female community. Award Winner: Super Bowl LVIII Reason: With more than 123 million viewers every year, few things unite America like the Super Bowl — but not this year. The NFL spoiled the fun with divisive woke posturing, presenting two separate national anthems before the big game: a “black national anthem” and one for everyone else. Award Winner: The Olympics Reason: The Paris Olympics managed to anger Christians, conservatives, and anyone with good taste in dancing. The opening ceremony of the global athletic event began with a tableau of drag queens that more than a few people felt mocked “The Last Supper”; the cross-dressing star at the center of the performance who called herself “Olympic Jesus” only exacerbated the outrage. Award Winner: Harley-Davidson Reason: Harley Davidson had a rock-solid, badass brand…and then DEI came along. A video unveiled on X showed the company’s CEO Jochen Zeitz speaking at a conference in 2020 in which he called himself “the sustainable Taliban” and asserted Harley Davidson was “trying to take on traditional capitalism and trying to redefine it.” After the uproar, Zeitz issued a public statement denouncing DEI and declaring the bike builder would pull back from the woke brink, ending its participation with the odious “Corporate Equality Index” pushed by recognized hate group the Human Rights Campaign. Award Winner: Columbia Reason: During a three-week fiasco, the administration of Columbia University was paralyzed in the face of rabidly antisemitic and increasingly violent conduct: students took over the campus’s famed Hamilton Hall, barricaded the entrances, and hung a “Free Palestine” banner from a window. The inmates were running the asylum at New York City’s Ivy League school, with students issuing a list of wild demands that included a “complete divestment” from all Israel-related businesses and amnesty from disciplinary actions for protesting students. Columbia’s pushback? An email declaring that bringing in police “at this time” would be counterproductive. Things got so hot that Columbia ended up canceling its university-wide commencement ceremony. Award Winner: Harvard Reason: Following the unceremonious resignation of university president Claudine Gay under allegations of rank plagiarism, America’s premier Ivy League institution presented a case study in emotional fragility in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election. Harvard professors cancelled classes for two days to allow their students “space to process the election.” The school’s Institute of Politics distributed conciliatory pastries and sweets all day on November 6. And quizzes in the “Intermediate Microeconomics” class were declared optional henceforth as a reprieve from post-election trauma. Award Winner: WPATH Reason: Hippocratic Oath be damned! The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) came under fire for its role in one of the most alarming medical scandals of our time. Behind closed doors, doctors affiliated with WPATH, who swore an oath to “do no harm,” privately discussed how sex-change procedures for minors are experimental, untested, and often devastatingly painful. The admissions directly contradicted their public-facing advocacy for the treatments, leaving families betrayed and children’s bodies permanently altered. Award Winner: Mattel Reason: The company behind Barbie pushed the boundaries of political correctness with the release of “the world’s first gender-neutral doll.” The toys, marketed as “gender-inclusive,” are designed to be “a boy, a girl, neither, or both.” Mattel hailed the launch as a step toward greater inclusivity, but the move sparked pushback among parents and child-development experts. Award Winner: Penzeys Spices* Reason: Once crowned “America’s Wokest Company,” Penzeys Spices stirred the pot yet again this year. The seasoning shop is known for promotional events such as “Republicans Are Racists Weekend” and for recommending their customers “send the Jewish people in your life…a photo of a couple sleeping bags up in your attic with the message that you will always have a place for them.” In 2024 the company sparked widespread outrage and calls for boycotts after their owner published an essay on the business’s website slamming the GOP. Of all places for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris to deliver remarks about ending “divisiveness,” she chose this one? Award Winner: Jaguar Reason: Luxury carmaker Jaguar rolled out a bizarre ad in December that left audiences scratching their heads: a commercial filled with androgynous models and completely devoid of cars. To make matters worse, the auto manufacturer literally took the jaguar out of Jaguar, erasing the iconic big cat from its logo. Critics called the company “Bud Light 2.0.” X owner Elon Musk mockingly asked the company “Do you sell cars?” And conservative parliament member Nigel Farage predicted the UK brand “will now go bust.” 2024 CHAMPION OF TOLERANCE In

Black Santa: Diverse or Divisive?
Does DEI’s reach extend all the way to the North Pole? Can — or should — Santa Claus be black? What about his wife? Earlier this month, UK retail and health company Boots caused a stir with an advertisement depicting Mrs. Claus as African American. It’s not the first time Kris Kringle and his missus have been portrayed as black, but nonetheless is a departure from the white mythological figure from Norway upon which traditional depictions are based. The concept of “Black Santa” isn’t new — the character has long been seen in books, on television, and at greeting stands in shopping malls. But does the motif conjure more diversity or division? Christmas, and the Holiday Season writ large, is not a racial nor political occasion. In fact, it’s one of the few glimpses into what a unified American public looks like. A Gallup survey conducted in 2019 found 93% of the American population — across all genders, races, and incomes — celebrate Christmas. Whether gathering at the town square for Christmas tree lightings, exchanging gifts in celebration of the holiday, or attending church services in religious observance, the fact that this time of year is about joy and appreciating the irreplaceable things in life seems an understood and unwritten truth. Santa himself stands as a symbol of unity for Christmas time. A 2011 study in the Journal of Cognition and Development indicated that 83% of children believe in Santa Claus. Being on your best behavior to avoid ending up on Santa’s “Naughty List,” writing a “wish list” of toys and hopes to Old Saint Nick and setting out milk and cookies for the jolly man on Christmas Eve have been a shared experience for millions of American children for more than a century. Politics and race do not even play a factor. And it’s not all tidings of comfort and joy where Black Santa is concerned, either. Black Santa originated as an image used in minstrel shows to mock African Americans during the Jim Crow era in the United States. Why elevate a symbol born of such nastiness? According to a YouGov survey, the overwhelming majority of Americans (79%) prefer the traditional depiction of Santa as white — but 67% of those same respondents were also okay with depictions of Santa as black. When it comes to race debates over depictions of Father Christmas, there isn’t much of an appetite for Santa Claus culture wars. It seems most Americans agree: there are better things to worry about at this time of year. Santa Claus: the great unifier.
SurveyMonkey Must End Its Lockout of PragerU
SurveyMonkey just locked PragerU out of their account, cutting off access to years of critical data. Now, they’re holding PragerU hostage until the educational service posts a disclaimer: “SurveyMonkey is not associated with, nor does it endorse or sponsor this specific content or PragerU.” What’s the content, you ask? A PragerU video highlighting the very real and growing number of “detransitioners” — people who had sex-change procedures and now regret that decision. SurveyMonkey’s decision not only impacts PragerU’s operations but sets a dangerous precedent for silencing organizations that challenge mainstream narratives. “Say what we demand, or lose access to your account!” Tell SurveyMonkey CEO Eric Johnson and the company’s senior staff to end their lockout of PragerU!
