Here’s Why Texas Governor Greg Abbott is Tanking.

Once a favorite and a “rising star” in the national Republican Party, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has fallen from grace. Recent polling shows he has lost his lead in the Texas GOP gubernatorial primary, dropping nearly 20 points in just three months.

Abbott’s collapse was not brought about by dishonest attacks from the corporate media. On the contrary, his inauthenticity has become too much for conservative Texas voters to bear. In the era of Trump’s Republican Party, the conventional wisdom of Republican in Name Only (RINO) hacks simply won’t cut it, and it is clear to all that Abbott’s inner circle is chock full of them.

In a previous article, I noted that Mitchell Carney, Abbott’s political director, has a history of Never Trumpism and that he turned on the President at a personally opportune time after January 6th. Carney is far from a lone wolf. In fact, his presence in the Abbott sphere of influence is a product of low-grade nepotism. There is far more to the Carney story that merits examination.

Pelosi: Athletes Should Not Anger 'Ruthless' Chinese Government at Olympics

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Thursday that the United States had a moral duty to condemn China's rights abuses, but urged U.S. athletes not to risk angering the "ruthless" Chinese government, a day before the opening of the Beijing Olympics.

Pelosi, speaking at a Congressional-Executive Commission on China hearing, said the International Olympic Committee "turns a blind eye" to Beijing's rights violations.

Corporate America Loves Virtue-Signaling About ‘Human Rights’ Until It’s Payday From Genocidal China’s 2022 Olympics

Woke corporations that habitually virtue signal to gain the left’s approval are readily profiting off of the 2022 winter Olympics even though the games’ host communist China has a running list of human rights abuses.

A number of U.S. companies that claim to care about human rights are slated to be official partners with the International Olympic Committee for the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing. The corporations boycotted Georgia over its election laws, backed Black Lives Matter, and often speak out in favor of “oppressed” groups, such as through pro-LGBT statements, but will not penalize communist China for its human rights abuses.

Communist China’s role in hosting the 2022 games is already controversial due to the regime’s ongoing practice of abusing its power to oppress its citizens. While President Joe Biden promised a diplomatic boycott of the Olympics in protest of the CCP’s ongoing genocide against the Uyghurs, among other human rights violations, it’s clear that U.S.-controlled companies have no problems fraternizing with authoritarian enemies. Already, the CCP is using the influence it was awarded by the International Olympic Committee to spy on, record, and even censor people ahead of the fast-approaching games.

Coca-Cola, the “longest-standing partner of the Olympic Movement” and the world’s most polluting brand in 2019, often brags that it is an environmentally conscious company with a social justice streak. It even has a human rights division that regularly releases statements supporting social movements, often leftist-led, in the United States.

When it comes to condemning China for committing genocide against the Uyghurs, a minority religious group in the Xinjiang province, Coca-Cola is silent.
