The "Woke" never rest

 



 John Kennedy:


James Bond Novels To Get Woke Rewrite…  "Ian Fleming’s famed sexist super spy James Bond is getting the 2023 sensitivity treatment. According to the Sunday Telegraph, the Bond books are getting a rewrite. The editors? Sensitivity experts expunging a number of racial reference’s ahead of the character’s 70th anniversary."

Dems lecture Americans on wokeness, then abandon our values abroad (nypost.com)

 . . .Defense and State are supposed to defend and promote American values around the world, but mainly they’re engaged in internal trolling, lecturing Americans about our alleged moral deficiencies and shouting out propagandistic far-left buzzwords.

"Sen. Tom Cotton, who served in the infantry in both Iraq and Afghanistan, noted this summer that he has received hundreds of complaints about ideological inculcation in the military. “One Marine told us that a military history training session was replaced with mandatory training on police brutality, white privilege, and systemic racism,” Cotton told Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. “Another servicemember told us that their unit was required to read ‘White Fragility’ by Robin DiAngelo which claims, and this is a quote, ‘white people raised in Western society are conditioned into a white supremacist world view.’ ”

"West Point cadets are being forced to attend classes on “Whiteness and white rage,” as though the soldier’s mission is not to protect the country from external threats but to search his own soul for microaggressions and cultural appropriation.". . .

Merrick Garland says those attacking pro-life centers too ‘clever’ for FBI: ‘They work at night’

 


"Attorney General Merrick Garland says those attacking pro-life centers too 'clever' for FBI: 'They work at night' - Washington Times "Attorney General Merrick Garland said Wednesday that he has deployed the FBI to track down those responsible for attacking crisis pregnancy centers but the agency has been stymied by “clever” criminals who do their work at night.
"In heated testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Mr. Garland defended his department’s fulsome prosecutions of protesters at abortion clinics and insisted he would deliver the same treatment to those who firebomb or vandalize Catholic churches and pro-life centers — if the FBI could find them.
“If you have any information specifically as to who those people are, we would be glad to have that,” Mr. Garland said.

“ 'That’s your job,” responded Sen. Marsha Blackburn, Tennessee Republican.

"Republican senators repeatedly pressed the attorney general on what they said was a striking disparity between prosecutions in pro-life and pro-choice attacks.

"They were incredulous at his explanation that the FBI has come up empty.

"Ms. Blackburn pointed to an attack on a pregnancy center in Tennessee where a pro-choice group, Jane’s Revenge, took credit.". . .

Report: FBI Was Against Mar-a-Lago Raid, Argued With DOJ Prosecutors (legalinsurrection.com)  "I’m so old, I remember when leaks to The Washington Post and other NeverTrump media about the Mar-a-Lago raid (but don’t call it a “raid”) were all negative to Donald Trump – nuclear secrets blah blah blah, no choice but to send 20+ FBI agents because of the risk of the documents falling into foreign hands, etc.

"Oh, how times have changed. Now that it turns out Joe Biden had classified documents dating back to his Senate days in multiple locations, and FBI searches were arranged without a show of force, and even Mike Pence got caught Sandy-Bergering stuff, well, now maybe that raid was a tad unnecessary. That’s the gist of a leak to WaPo, Showdown before the raid: FBI agents and prosecutors argued over Trump. Notice, WaPo used the R word (raid):.

Naturally, the Whoopster has an opinion:


"Months of disputes between Justice Department prosecutors and FBI agents over how best to try to recover classified documents from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club and residence led to a tense showdown near the end of July last year, according to four people familiar with the discussions.. . .Sara Haines attacks the intelligence of Biden critics, saying "anyone with any amount of brain cells knows these are not completely equivalent purely because of the volume" of documents. pic.twitter.com/VpxY9xtPBo— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) January 12, 2023

A Bill Comes Due: Will California Pony Up for Reparations?


  Jonathan Turley   "Below is my column in The Hill on the recommendations for reparations by two appointed bodies in California. After years of declaring this a moral imperative, the bill has come due for leaders like Gov.  Gavin Newsom and San Francisco Mayor London Breed. The collective demand is for trillions in California alone with additional trillions demanded from Congress in a national reparations program. California Democrats will now have to render a decision on committing real money on reparations to show that this was not mere virtue signaling. That decision could be coming soon.

"Here is the column:

"A long-awaited meeting of San Francisco’s board of supervisors was set this week to discuss the recommendation of its African American Reparations Advisory Committee to give $5 million to each eligible Black resident as reparations. The meeting was postponed, but the city and the state soon must make a decision on a bill that has come due for Democratic politicians.

"The city council voted unanimously to create the reparations committee in 2020. Even though California was a free state without slavery before the Civil War, the committee’s “particular focus has been the era of urban renewal, perhaps the most significant example of how the City and County of San Francisco as an institution played a role in undermining Black wealth and actively displacing the city’s Black population.” That could be viewed as only a partial payment for race-related injuries.

"In the meantime, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) created his own Reparations Task Force, which just reached its own recommendations for $223,000 per person. Others have insisted the figure should be $350,000 for individuals and another $250,000 for Black-owned businesses. One California politician insisted the figure needs to be $800,000 per person, reflecting the average cost of a home in the state.". . .
