Jaguar recently debuted its woke new logo and slogan, "Copy Nothing," featuring androgynous models in brightly colored, over-the-top outfits, including one man wearing a dress, along with other slogans such as "create exuberant," "live vivid," "delete ordinary" and "break moulds." The ad did not feature any cars in its 30-second run. This prompted mockery by social media users including Elon Musk. But the company's chief is apparently not backing down.

Apparently the Jaguar rebrand is part of the company's efforts to attract wealthier customers in its transition to an all-electric vehicle lineup.

Jaguar Land Rover managing director Rawdon Glover defended the British luxury car company's rebranding launch. He denied the ad was meant to send a "woke" message.

While Glover praised the attention around the campaign as "very positive," he said he was disappointed by the "level of vile hatred and intolerance" shown by social media commentators towards the models in the video.

"If we play in the same way that everybody else does, we’ll just get drowned out. So we shouldn’t turn up like an auto brand," Glover told the Financial Times. "We need to re-establish our brand and at a completely different price point so we need to act differently. We wanted to move away from traditional automotive stereotypes."

Critics see the ad differently. There's a growing backlash against far-left woke activism in the popular culture. Many are pushing back against what they see as companies promoting LGBTQ degeneracy and so-called DEI(diversity, equity and inclusion) in place of common sense and merit. The Jaguar ad is "blatant tone deaf woke garbage," as one Gab user put it.

Following a request by discredited Special Counsel Jack Smith Monday, a judge has dismissed the politically motivated charges against President-elect Donald Trump in the Washington D.C. case regarding the partisan investigation into the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol breach.

"The Government has moved to dismiss the Superseding Indictment without prejudice," U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan wrote in a decision. "Defendant does not oppose the Motion…and the court will grant it."

Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges in the case and took the fight to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing on the basis of presidential immunity. 

The high court ruled that Trump was immune from prosecution for official presidential acts, forcing Smith to file a new indictment. Trump pleaded not guilty to those new charges, too.

The President-elect's attorneys have been seeking to have the election interference charges dropped in Washington, D.C., alleging that Smith was appointed unlawfully.

"The American People re-elected President Trump with an overwhelming mandate to Make America Great Again. Today’s decision by the DOJ ends the unconstitutional federal cases against President Trump, and is a major victory for the rule of law," Trump spokesman and incoming White House communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement. "The American People and President Trump want an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system and we look forward to uniting our country."

"These cases, like all of the other cases I have been forced to go through, are empty and lawless, and should never have been brought. Over $100 Million Dollars of Taxpayer Dollars has been wasted in the Democrat Party’s fight against their Political Opponent, ME," Trump posted on Truth Social Monday. "Nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before." He said "state Prosecutors and District Attorneys, such as Fani Willis and her lover, Nathan Wade (who had absolutely zero experience in cases such as this, but was paid MILLIONS, enough for them to take numerous trips and cruises around the globe!), Letitia James, who inappropriately, unethically, and probably illegally, campaigned on ‘GETTING TRUMP’ in order to win Political Office, and Alvin Bragg, who himself never wanted to bring this case against me, but was forced to do so by the Justice Department and the Democrat Party."

Trump added: "It was a political hijacking, and a low point in the History of our Country that such a thing could have happened, and yet, I persevered, against all odds, and WON. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

The election interference case is one of many brought against the former president and President-elect by left-wing prosecutors across the country since the end of his first term in office in 2021. Legal experts have slammed the prosecutions as unprecedented political witch hunt against a political opponent. In many of his speeches during the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump slammed President Joe Biden administration as corrupt and authoritarian.

Smith has also filed a motion to drop his appeal in his classified records case against Trump -- a case that was dismissed in July by federal Judge Aileen Cannon. Cannon ruled Smith was unlawfully appointed as special counsel.
