X CEO Linda Yaccarino announced a lawsuit against advertisers after a House Judiciary Committee report revealed an illegal boycott against the company.The report, titled "GARM's (Global Alliance for Responsible Media) Harm," detailed the work of the World Federation of Advertisers, which controls GARM and represents some of the world's largest companies and advertisers.According to a report by the New York Post, the WFA controls 90% of global marketing spending, which amounts to $1 trillion per year and includes companies like Disney and Coca-Cola.'The illegal behavior of these organizations and their executives cost X billions of dollars.'In a post made directly on X, Yaccarino remarked, "I thought I had seen everything.""The report disclosed that their investigation had found evidence of an illegal boycott against many companies, including X," the CEO continued.Yaccarino then announced an antitrust lawsuit against GARM, the WFA, and GARM members CVS Health, Mars, Orsted, and Unilever."This is not a decision we took lightly, but it is a direct consequence of their actions," she added.X owner Elon Musk shared Yaccarino's X post and simply added, "We tried peace for 2 years, now it is war." — (@) Yaccarino boasted of X's growing numbers, noting that despite being an effective platform for advertisers and even surpassing requests made by GARM itself, the company still lost billions."The illegal behavior of these organizations and their executives cost X billions of dollars."The CEO pointed out that the House committee obtained evidence that showed "GARM and its members directly organized boycotts and used other indirect tactics to target disfavored platforms, content creators, and news organizations in an effort to demonetize and, in effect, limit certain choices for consumers.'"BlazeTV's James Poulos said that conflict between Musk and X's advertisers has been escalating for years, and now the reason for that has finally become clear."Rather than mild-mannered normies afraid of controversial content on X, advertisers operate as a cartel of far-left propagandists, reaping profits from taxpayers on government contracts while conspiring to silence free speech at odds with their radical ideologies."Poulos added that the "ugly truth" about the matter is that "corporate cartels" have been revealed to have a stranglehold on online discourse and national politics. "No group, whatever its beliefs, should wield such control over the bounds of our words and thoughts on the most fundamental issues. Fortunately, antitrust law offers a powerful tool to help protect us from that kind of silent digital coup against our constitutionally guaranteed rights and form of government," he concluded.The House report also reportedly obtained internal emails from the advertising alliance that showed its head, Robert Rakowitz, allegedly bragging that X was "80% below revenue forecasts" since the company was targeted.Rakowitz later claimed the email was a "self-effacing joke."CVS Health, Orsted, Mars, and Unilever have not released public statements on the matter and did not respond to requests for comment from the New York Post or Fox News.Like Blaze News?

A global firestorm has ignited over the Olympics’ decision to feature a blasphemous opening ceremony performance that mocked “The Last Supper,” as well as its position (or lack thereof) on gender and who can compete in what division. But Joe Rogan is surprised people aren’t up in arms over what he thinks is a third controversy. Dave Rubin plays the clip of Rogan explaining to Khalil Rountree Jr. how the Olympics is “a giant scam.” - YouTube www.youtube.com “You have the best athletes in the world participating in their disciplines ... and then on top of that you have enormous amounts of money being made and none of it's going to the athletes,” said Rogan, adding that the entire ordeal “is a giant scam.” He then pointed out that the same people who put on “that ridiculous opening ceremony where you got a bunch of drag queens in ‘The Last Supper’” are the same people who are “reaping all the money and sucking all the cash out of these athletes.” On top of scamming the athletes, the people behind the scenes of the Olympics are also hurting the communities where the Olympics are hosted. Rogan pointed to Brazil as an example. “So if it's going to be in Brazil, they build this f****** enormous place for it to participate in ... and then after that — nothing! And then all the people there who are poor are like, ‘Hey where the f*** did this money come from and why didn't you just spend it on the community?”’ Rogan said, pointing out that “the money they make is astronomical.” “The Olympics makes billions and billions of money in television revenue and advertising revenue, and they don't give any of it to the athletes, so it just goes to the committee ... and these are the crazy people that are putting on ‘The Last Supper’ with transsexuals,” he continued. “The whole Olympics is just people getting f***ed over.” To see more of Rogan’s commentary, watch the clip above.

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger went viral on social media this week for quoting the Bible after the company he runs announced plans to fire more than 15,000 employees.Last week, Intel announced cost-reduction measures — $10 billion worth — after the semiconductor chip manufacturer posted two consecutive quarters of losses, which totaled about $2 billion. The cost-saving measures include laying off 15% of the Intel workforce, which means firing at least 15,000 employees, according to the Verge. 'Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.'Several days after sharing the "painful" news, Gelsinger posted Bible verses to social media."Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways," Gelsinger posted, quoting Proverbs 4:25–26. — (@) For a company that employees more than 100,000 people — and is, therefore, responsible for the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people — one may think that it's good that the man in charge is focused on God's wisdom.But that's not what happened.Instead, Gelsinger's otherwise innocuous social media post received more than 20 million views — and a barrage of mockery.Here is what the mockery looked like:"hello I'm new to the stock market is it good when the intel ceo starts praying," one person said."Intel down so bad CEO resorts to praying," another person mocked."if the CEO of your company hands jesus the wheel it’s absolutely over for you," one person mocked."Resorting to religion to save the company?" another person mocked."In a sure sign that a stable hand is at the wheel, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger is tweeting out inspirational Bible verses," tech news website Gizmodo mocked.But there's an unavoidable problem for Gelsinger's critics: He did not "resort" to religion and praying because of what is happening at Intel.Instead, Gelsinger — an outspoken Christian — posts Bible verses to his X account every Sunday. The week prior to Aug. 4, he quoted the prophet Jeremiah. The week before? Psalm 133. He twice quoted from the Gospel of Matthew earlier in July.The reaction to Gelsinger's post underscores the growing intolerance for Christians, especially for people of faith who refuse to hide their faith in secular environments.Perhaps Gelsinger can take solace from Psalm 9, which he recently quoted, when he opens his X account to see the vitriol spewed at him."Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you," reads Psalm 9:10.

Vice President Kamala Harris' final decision of running mate came down to the choice between two Democratic governors: Tim Walz of Minnesota, a blue state that Harris was poised to win anyway; and Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, a critically important swing state with 19 electoral college votes where President Donald Trump is presently leading in the polls. Harris ultimately picked Walz — who apparently fabricated details of his military service, prompting allegations of "stolen valor"; allowed BLM rioters to devastate Minneapolis; and transformed his state into a haven for child sex-change mutilations. While Shapiro has been dogged by an intra-office sexual abuse scandal, CNN talking head Van Jones acknowledged Tuesday that he was likely sidelined for another, "darker" reason. CNN host Jim Acosta asked Jones whether he thought it was "a little risky that [Harris] didn't go with Shapiro to kind of lock down Pennsylvania." Jones responded, "The conservatives, the right wing, the Republicans — they were chewing their fingernails down to the knuckle because they were afraid of a Josh Shapiro, they were afraid of a Mark Kelly. They are not as afraid of this new governor because they think they can define him." "So here's the challenge you've got in this party, and people don't want to talk about it. We got to talk about it," continued Jones. "On the one hand, you have a lot of young people concerned about Gaza. You have a lot of Muslims and Arabs and others. They have not felt seen by the Biden administration. You started hearing that 'Genocide Joe.' That was building." 'You also have anti-Semitism that has gotten marbled into this party.' According to Jones, "those folks needed to have a candidate that they could feel comfortable with." Whereas Walz is a leftist Lutheran who has expressed support for a peaceful solution to the Israel-Hamas war, Shapiro is a proud Jewish American who let people believe for decades that he volunteered for the Israeli military and has reportedly compared anti-Israel protesters to the KKK. Leftists seized upon Shapiro's identity and support for Israel after learning Harris was considering him as a running mate and quickly transitioned from their "Genocide Joe" campaign to a "Genocide Josh" campaign. The website for the "No Genocide Josh" campaign stated, "Electing a Vice Presidential nominee with anti-Palestinian and pro-war views will depress turnout among Muslim, Arab-American, and young voters, and greatly reduce the excitement that comes with a new nominee." "It is in Harris's and the Democrats' best interests to listen to their base and ensure that both their new VP pick and their platform support the majority of Democrats and Americans who want social and economic justice for workers and an immediate ceasefire in Palestine," added the anti-Shapiro site. Although Walz has condemned anti-Semitism in the past, expressed support for Israel as "America's truest and closest ally" in the Middle East, and spoken out about pro-Hamas supporters' antagonism of Jewish students, Jones intimated that prospective Harris voters' prejudice might cut deeper than policy positions. "You also have anti-Semitism that has gotten marbled into this party," said Jones. "You can be for the Palestinians without being an anti-Jewish bigot, but there are some anti-Jewish bigots out there." "And there has to be conversations about how much of what just happened is caving into some of these darker parts in the party. So that’s going to have to get worked out. It's going to have to get talked through," added Jones. Jones is neither the first media personality nor the first Democrat to admit the Democratic Party has a major anti-Semitism problem. In May, comedian Bill Maher noted that while there might be anti-Semitism on both sides of the political spectrum, "The left wing is even worse." Michael Rapaport, who was in recent years one of Trump's most outspoken critics, indicated earlier this year that he was considering voting for the Republican in large part because of the left's growing antagonism toward Israel and Jews. After spending a lifetime as a Democrat, former New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind joined the Republican Party last year, stating, "The Democratic Party has become so radicalized, so radical, run by the radicals, that people who are moderates or conservative Democrats are not welcomed in the Democratic Party." Jones is also not alone in suspecting that Shapiro was kicked to the curb in order to appease anti-Semites in the Democratic Party. Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-Mass.) told CNN Monday, "Those in the overly online left who are attacking Josh Shapiro's pro-Israel positions in a different way than they are attacking non-Jewish veep contenders' positions, they're just telling on themselves. There's a strong undercurrent of antisemitism." "Every contender's positions on all policy issues, their track records in elective office, all of that is fair game. That is totally open to be subjected to interrogation and to questioning by the Harris team, by observers. But holding him to a different standard because of his religion just simply isn't who we are as a Democratic Party," continued Auchincloss. Evidently Auchincloss was off in terms of his optimistic assessment of his party. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.
