Only two of the so-called “three Johns” will be competing to replace Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) as leader of the Senate GOP. Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) revealed on Tuesday that he would not join Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and John Thune (R-SD) in the race for the top position‚ and instead will vie for Republican whip‚ the No. 2 spot. “I have had time to reflect on how I might best serve the Republican Conference and our country‚” Barrasso said in a statement. “After a lot of thought‚ I will ask my colleagues for their support and help to work for them as the Assistant Republican Leader.” Barrasso‚ an orthopedic surgeon-turned-lawmaker‚ has served in the upper chamber since 2007. He is currently the No. 3 Republican in the Senate‚ serving as chairman of the Senate Republican Conference. If he were to take on the role of Republican whip‚ which is currently held by Thune‚ Barrasso would be tasked with performing head counts and rallying members of the party for votes and quorum calls. Barrasso has endorsed former President Donald Trump in the 2024 White House race. He voted in line with Trump’s position 89.1% of the time when Trump was in office‚ according to FiveThirtyEight. Leadership elections are expected to take place in November. Winners will take over their new roles in January. McConnell‚ who is 82‚ announced his plans to step aside as GOP leader last week. “It’s time for the next generation of leadership‚” he said. Still‚ the Kentucky Republican indicated that he plans to stay in the Senate until his term ends in early 2027. So far‚ two members have expressed plans to compete for the Senate GOP leader role: Cornyn and Thune. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Other Republicans who are being talked about as potential candidates for GOP leader include Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL)‚ who ran an unsuccessful campaign in 2022 to take the leadership position from McConnell‚ and National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Steve Daines (R-MT). Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) reportedly told radio host Hugh Hewitt on Tuesday that he is running to replace Barrasso as chairman of the Senate Republican conference.

Outdoor outfitter The North Face is offering customers a 20% discount if they complete and pass a Diversity‚ Equity‚ and Inclusion (DEI) course. The company launched the course‚ titled “Allyship in the Outdoors‚” to teach customers about racial disparities in outdoor activities. It is roughly an hour long and is intended for people who work in the outdoor industry. Those who take the course from North America are ineligible for the discount‚ however. “At The North Face‚ we believe in the power of exploration. As individuals‚ professionals and companies who share a love for the outdoors and exploration‚ we also have a responsibility to support spaces where everyone feels like they belong‚” the course description says. “This 1-hour digital course is designed to foster a deeper understanding of the unique challenges that people of colour face when accessing the outdoors.” “The course focuses on perspective of race and racism in Europe‚ and we acknowledge that the experiences of people of colour around the globe differs. It will also provide training and resources‚ through 4 interactive modules‚ to help you be a better ally and to make the outdoors a safer and more welcoming place for everyone‚” the website adds. The course walks through four modules on various aspects of racial diversity in outdoor activities‚ including lessons on “privilege” and how to handle accusations of being “woke.” The modules also include portions on what events‚ such as the death of George Floyd‚ can mean. “Privilege can give us access to the outdoors – that means some people can enjoy advantages that they inherit from birth and/or accumulate over time‚” the course says. “In this particular context‚ we refer to ‘white privilege’ meaning that your race and skin colour can give you access to the outdoors when others can be excluded because of historic‚ enduring racism and biases.” The course says inequality in the racial makeup of those who participate in outdoor activities proves that barriers exist for minorities. “There is no explicit policy that excludes people from the outdoors yet there are few people of colour. While there is no intent to exclude‚ the system in itself creates those barriers to participation‚” the training says. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Those who want to get the 20%-off voucher must answer a series of multiple-choice questions on “allyship‚” “privilege‚” and other DEI topics correctly. “To thank you for being an ally and completing the full course‚ The North Face is pleased to offer you a one-off 20% discount‚ to be used on The North Face website‚” the discount reads. “Please enter the unique code at the checkout to activate this discount.

CBS Studios and its parent company‚ Paramount‚ are being sued by an employee who claims he was discriminated against for being a heterosexual white male.  Brian Beneker‚ a script coordinator for the drama series “SEAL Team‚” filed a lawsuit in California federal court Wednesday‚ per The Hollywood Reporter.  The studio employee alleged that he was repeatedly denied a staff writer job due to the company’s “illegal policy of race and sex balancing‚” which promoted hiring “less qualified applicants who were members of more preferred groups.” Beneker specifically stated in the document that women‚ minorities‚ and LGTBQ individuals were given preferential consideration for open positions. The CBS employee is seeking $500‚000 in damages and is requesting a court order to become a full-time producer on the series to help combat future discriminatory practices‚ the THR report noted. Beneker is represented by the America First Legal Foundation. The conservative legal group was founded by Stephen Miller‚ a White House policy adviser under the Trump administration. This is the first major lawsuit that America First is representing against an entertainment industry company. The lawsuit states that Beneker worked as a script coordinator for “SEAL Team” since 2017 and has written several episodes. He alleges that he was passed over for staff writer positions on multiple occasions while members of minority groups were chosen despite not being as qualified for the roles‚ in his estimation. Beneker claims he asked a showrunner in 2019 why one person was chosen instead of him for an open position. He claims that person said it was because he “did not check any diversity boxes.” Despite being told he’d be the next pick‚ Beneker said CBS hired six more women as writers.  Beneker said this happened on more than one occasion. “During Season 6‚ (in approximately May of 2022)‚ two female writer’s assistants‚ without any writing credits‚ were hired as staff writers‚” the lawsuit says. “The first of these two hires was black. The second identified as lesbian.” Beneker said these initiatives have “created a situation where heterosexual‚ white men need ‘extra’ qualifications (including military experience or previous writing credits) to be hired as staff writers when compared to their nonwhite‚ LGBTQ‚ or female peers.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The employee blamed the hiring practice on publicly stated diversity quotas which CBS sought to meet. CEO of CBS Entertainment Group George Cheeks reportedly said in 2022 that he set a goal of all writers’ rooms being staffed by at least 40% minority group members. He further stated that 17 out of 21 shows met those goals for the 2021-2022 season. The lawsuit comes on the heels of the Supreme Court decision last June‚ which found that Harvard University and the University of North Carolina could not use race-based criteria for admissions.

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) announced on Tuesday that she will not seek re-election and will leave the U.S. Senate at the end of this year. Her exit from the Senate clears the way for the race to be a two-way battle between Republican Kari Lake and Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) in an election that could determine which party controls the Senate. In the video where she made her announcement‚ Sinema warned that America was choosing the worse course by continuing to go to the political extremes on both sides. “In 2017‚ I warned we were approaching a crossroads‚” she said. “Our democracy was weakened by government dysfunction‚ and the constant pull to the extremes by both political parties. I promised I would do my best to fix it‚ to protect and defend our Constitution‚ to listen to others without judging to focus on what unites us‚ and to make Americans lives better.” “Through listening‚ understanding and compromise‚ we delivered tangible results that make America safer‚ stronger‚ and more prosperous‚” she continued. “Yet despite modernizing our infrastructure‚ ensuring clean water‚ delivering good jobs and safer communities‚ Americans still choose to retreat farther to their partisan corners.” “These solutions are considered failures‚ either because they’re too much or not nearly enough. It’s all or nothing. The outcome‚ less important than beating the other guy‚” she added. “The only political victories that matter these days are symbolic‚ attacking your opponents on cable news or social media. Compromise is a dirty word. We’ve arrived at that crossroad. And we chose anger and division. I believe in my approach‚ but it’s not what America wants right now. I love Arizona‚ and I am so proud of what we’ve delivered. Because I choose civility‚ understanding‚ listening‚ working together to get stuff done‚ I will leave the Senate at the end of this year.” Sinema concluded the announcement by highlighting some of her accomplishments while in the Senate.

Once again‚ progressive forces in the media have seized control of the narrative in college athletics. A while back we were told we must accept that transgender athletes CeCé Telfer and Lia Thomas were female athletes‚ because they said so. Now we are being told that the University of Iowa’s Caitlin Clark‚ a phenomenal female basketball player‚ is the NCAA’s new all-time leading scorer (3‚685 points) because she surpassed Pete Maravich’s long-standing scoring record (3‚667 points). When I first read the reports‚ I kept looking for a qualifier that would correctly label her as the NCAA’s greatest all-time scorer in women’s basketball history. So far‚ however‚ every bit of reporting I’ve perused — from ESPN to the alphabet media news outlets along with various social media tributes — all celebrate Caitlin Clark beating Pete Maravich’s record. That’s it. No qualifier. As the proud father of a former women’s Division 1 NCAA athlete‚ you will not find a more supportive fan of women’s athletics. Indeed‚ my issue with the trans movement injecting itself into NCAA sports is that it makes a mockery of the entire concept of women’s athletics and neuters Title IX advancements in the NCAA. Ms. Clark’s achievement is truly remarkable. And‚ yes‚ technically she did surpass “Pistol Pete” as the all-time NCAA basketball scorer. But let us return‚ once again‚ to cold‚ hard reality. First off‚ during Maravich’s era‚ there was no three-point line‚ no shot clock‚ and no dunking. It was a different game. Second‚ Maravich played only three seasons for LSU‚ since freshmen were ineligible to play on varsity teams in the late 60s. But of course‚ that’s not the elephant in the room.  There remains one other unavoidable and seminal fact: Ms. Clark is a woman playing against other women. Maravich played against men and not just any men. During his 1967-1970 career at LSU his collegiate contemporaries included the likes of Kareem Adbul-Jabar (Lew Alcindor) (7’2”) and Elvin Hayes (6’9”) and many others known for their tremendous ability on the court. That alone should be enough to end the argument. As impressive as Ms. Clark’s stats may be‚ they should be calculated on the women’s side of the basketball ledger. For the legacy media‚ however‚ political correctness drives the headlines‚ like this one from CBS Sports: “Caitlin Clark Becomes NCAA All-Time Leading Scorer.” UPI’s headline reads: “Alone at the Top: Caitlin Clark sets NCAA all time points record.” Yahoo! News says she broke the women’s and men’s all-time leading scoring record. “Caitlin Clark breaks Pete Maravich’s NCAA all-time scoring record” Yahoo! News does remind us that there are women’s and men’s sports before pivoting back to “all-time NCAA leader‚” which is pretty typical of the dissonance so many journalists must force themselves to overcome when reporting such landmarks. Yet‚ this is not a new phenomenon.  Many years ago‚ during an interview on NPR‚ John McEnroe stated Serena Williams was the greatest female tennis player in history. When the female interviewer suggested dropping gender from the equation‚ McEnroe refused: GARCIA-NAVARRO: Yeah‚ best tennis player in the world – you know‚ why say female player? MCENROE: Well‚ because if she was – if she played the men’s circuit‚ she’d be‚ like‚ 700 in the world. When CBS News anchor Nora O’Donnell subsequently asked McEnroe if he wanted to apologize for his remarks‚ he rightfully refused again. Facts are facts.  Williams herself has backed McEnroe’s assessment‚ telling David Letterman: If I were to play Andy Murray‚ I would lose‚ 6-0‚ 6-0‚ in five to six minutes‚ maybe 10 minutes … The men are a lot faster‚ they serve harder‚ they hit harder. … It’s a completely different game. Ms. Williams‚ who has more grand slam wins (23) than either Roger Federer (20) or Rafael Nadal (22) — but one less than Novak Djokovic (24) —  clearly does not consider herself in the same league. She understands men’s tennis and women’s tennis are far from the same sport. As such‚ Serena Williams‚ along with Steffi Graf‚ Martina Navratilova‚ and Margaret Court‚ deserve their own places as the greatest women tennis players in history. Ms. Clark’s accomplishments are truly remarkable‚ but truth and accuracy in journalism still matter. Weren’t we recently told by collegiate presidents themselves that context matters? I should think it applies to men’s versus women’s athletics most of all when making superlative claims based on numbers with no qualifiers added. So look up to Caitlin Clark for her stunning play‚ yes. And congratulate her‚ as I do. If her drive and hard work are reflections of her character as a whole‚ as I suspect they are‚ she is a role model America’s kids‚ girls especially‚ should emulate. But let’s not try to make her into more than she is. Why? Because truth matters. This is a concept the media seem to have left behind in their relentless mission to create rather than report the narrative to achieve their social engineering goals. We know that Ms. Clark could not compete head-to-head with the man whose record she has beaten. We know this because there is not a woman who could genuinely compete‚ let alone be a force‚ in the NBA against the best players of the world on the same court. Otherwise‚ the NBA would be filled with women too. Instead‚ they have their own league. So‚ unless Ms. Clark’s record was achieved against male players‚ her stats should not therefore be held up to those of Maravich. Such a qualifier would not relegate women’s athletics to second-tier status. As the success of women’s tennis has shown‚ people will still appreciate and marvel at awesome playing in all forms from both sexes.

  As the buzz around Michelle Obama’s possible presidential bid in 2024 grows louder‚ conservative voices are not staying quiet. Many are skeptical of the former First Lady’s intentions and the impact it could have on the already divisive political landscape. From her recent comments breaking her silence on the matter‚ to the potential implications for the Democratic party‚ here is a conservative analysis of the situation. First and foremost‚ the very idea of Michelle Obama running for president has raised eyebrows among conservatives. While she may have garnered popularity during her time as First Lady‚ many question her qualifications and experience for the highest office in the land. As a lawyer and healthcare executive‚ she lacks the political background and leadership skills necessary for such a demanding role. This has led some to believe that her potential bid is more of a strategic move by the Democrats rather than a genuine desire to serve the country. HeadLIE: Michelle Obama FINALLY breaks her silence on whether she will be running for president in 2024 as fed-up Democrats urge her to replace 81-year-old Biden Michelle Obama has ruled herself out as a presidential candidate‚ putting to bed speculation that she would jump in… pic.twitter.com/AVCYOdn3cH — Tony Seruga (@TonySeruga) March 5‚ 2024 Moreover‚ Mrs. Obama’s recent comments on the matter have only added fuel to the fire. In a recent interview‚ she stated that she has no plans to run for president but “people should never say never”. This vague response has raised suspicion among conservatives‚ who see it as a carefully calculated move to test the waters and gauge public opinion. Furthermore‚ her husband Barack Obama’s approval ratings have soared since he left office‚ giving the impression that a third term in the form of Michelle Obama would be a continuation of his policies. JUST IN: Woman reacts to Michelle Obama not running for President‚ and says that Nikki Haley is “probably menopausal” NBC just reported that Michelle Obama has said she will not run for president. Woman: Thank God! Yes! Woman: I wouldn’t vote for a woman. And especially‚ you… pic.twitter.com/1MFCI8I0QS — Unlimited L's (@unlimited_ls) March 5‚ 2024 But beyond the individual‚ the potential implications of Michelle Obama’s presidential run for the Democratic party are a major concern for conservatives. With a lack of strong contenders‚ some within the party see her as the only chance to reclaim the White House in 2024. However‚ this could also lead to a divided party as supporters of other potential candidates may feel sidelined. Additionally‚ her presence on the ballot could galvanize Republican voters‚ potentially giving them an edge in the election. Furthermore‚ Michelle Obama’s progressive stances on various issues such as healthcare and immigration could alienate moderate voters. Her association with her husband’s administration and policies‚ which have been heavily criticized by the conservative camp‚ could also be a hindrance. With a highly polarized political climate‚ the Democrats may risk losing crucial swing states if they put forth a candidate who does not appeal to a broad range of voters. As the discussions and speculations continue‚ conservatives are not dismissing the possibility of Michelle Obama’s presidential run lightly. They are keeping a close eye on the situation‚ ready to counter any potential challenges that may arise. The question remains whether the former First Lady’s popularity and charm will be enough to sway conservative voters and secure a win in the upcoming election. In conclusion‚ while the possibility of Michelle Obama running for president in 2024 has captured the attention of the public‚ conservatives remain wary of the potential consequences. From doubts about her qualifications to concerns about the unity of the Democratic party‚ there are many factors to consider. As the political landscape continues to evolve‚ it remains to be seen if Mrs. Obama will throw her hat in the ring and if she can win over conservative voters in the process.   The post Michelle Obama’s Potential Presidential Run in 2024: The Latest Buzz in Democratic Circles appeared first on The Conservative Brief.
