Walmart rolls back DEI policies, becoming latest U.S. firm to join growing trend

By Breck Dumas , Daniella Genovese | Fox Business Walmart is making a slate of changes to its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, becoming the latest in a growing list of major corporations to halt the so-called "woke" initiatives. Anti-woke activist and filmmaker Robby Starbuck, who has been leading a campaign exposing major corporations' woke policies, said on X on Monday that he warned Walmart executives last week that he would be doing a story on "wokeness" at the retail giant. "Instead," Starbuck shared, "we had productive conversations to find solutions." READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX BUSINESS

Tom Homan responds to Denver mayor: ‘He’s willing to go to jail, I’m willing to put him in jail’

By  Hanna Panreck | Fox News Democratic Denver Mayor Mike Johnston recently said he was prepared to go to jail over his opposition to the Trump administration's border policies. The president-elect's pick to be the next border czar responded that he's willing to put him there. "You are absolutely breaking the law," Tom Homan, Trump's "border czar" designate, told Fox News' Sean Hannity. "All he has to do is look at Arizona v. U.S. and he would see he's breaking the law. But, look, me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing. He’s willing to go to jail, I’m willing to put him in jail." The Denver mayor has also predicted a "Tiananmen Square moment" if the administration carries out its plans.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Canada, Mexico to face 25% tariffs, China 10% until borders are secure, drug importation stops, Trump says

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice President-elect Donald Trump has put Canada and Mexico on notice -- close their borders with the United States or face the penalty of tariffs on all imports into the United States.

As one of his "many first Executive Orders," Trump pledged to charge Canada and Mexico 25% tariffs. "This tariff will remain in effect until such time as drugs, in particular fentanyl, and all illegal aliens stop this invasion of our country!," Trump wrote. "Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem." Until they do, Trump wrote, "it is...

By Asher Notheis | Washington Examiner Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) warned that Denver Mayor Mike Johnston could face legal repercussions over his opposition to President-elect Donald Trump‘s proposed mass deportations of illegal immigrants.

Ballot measure outcomes reflect national trend of even Blue states embracing tougher approach to crime
