#Woke Lectures Masquerading as Ads (#Wokesplaining)

 Religio-Political Talk (RPT) (religiopoliticaltalk.com)

"So how did this happen? Well, all these nauseating lectures are now masquerading as ads, are the colleges churning out too many useless women's study grads, so they end up in companies demanding tampons in men's rooms and jockstraps in the women's? Hmm. They view buyers as insects: stupid, gross, easily manipulated, someone to be punished, not celebrated."



Woke is now defined in this dictionary as “aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice),” and identified as U.S. slang. It originated in African American English and gained more widespread use beginning in 2014 as part of the Black Lives Matter movement. By the end of that same decade it was also being applied by some as a general pejorative for anyone who is or appears to be politically left-leaning.

Why ‘Pride Month’ has escalated its in-your-face tactics this year

 Thomas Lifson - American Thinker

The Democrats are all-in on the trans agenda, and don't have an easy way of backing away from this, as the movement’s extremists attack with fury any perceived retreat from support.  


"This shameless indoctrination of young schoolchildren is indicative of the force being applied to public, including those too young to understand what they are being brainwashed to accept:

"With acceptance of same sex marriage at record highs, and with homosexuality highly visible in all media, why the push now?"

When same sex marriage was legalized by the Obergefell Supreme Court decision, the professional movement activists lost their political issue because they won.  By picking up the transsexual movement, they were able to stay on offense and relevant, and not so incidentally, continue to raise money with claims of oppression.

But by adopting a movement whose dogma quite obviously contradicts reality (men don’t automatically become women and vice versa simply by thinking it is so) they have ignited a counterattack. The real-world manifestations of their dogma – forcing biological males into women’s locker rooms, prisons, and sports – creates real world harms for real people. And going after children infuriates parents, and ties into increasing dissatisfaction with public education.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: FBI is afraid its Biden family informant could be killed if unmasked

 Twitchy    "OK, we’re not sure what to believe anymore. A whistleblower said the FBI had a document proving that Joe Biden, as vice president, was involved in an international bribery scheme. The House Oversight Republicans subpoenaed the document; FBI Director Chris Wray countered with this offer: I’ll let you review the document, but you can’t have it. It’s now looking like the House GOP is going to initiate contempt charges against Wray.

"Rep. Anna Paulina Luna tweeted Monday that she’d just left a House Oversight meeting, and the FBI is allegedly worried that its informant could be killed if unmasked. Must be some pretty juicy stuff in that document.

Gynecologist who insisted Dylan Mulvaney is a woman gets BIG MAD at being mocked

 ARGLE BARGLE RAR! Gynecologist who insisted Dylan Mulvaney is a woman gets BIG MAD at being mocked – twitchy.com    "Dylan Mulvaney is at most, a trans woman, doc. Not a woman.

Not Mulvaney at present

"You’d think a gynecologist would be able to define a woman but … never mind. Not in this day and age. Heck, we have a SCOTUS Justice who claimed someone has to be a biologist to define a woman.
"So here we are.

"As Twitchy told you earlier, Michelle Quinn insisted that Dylan is a woman. Welp, that didn’t go over so hot for the doc and in fact, it has been going so badly she created a place where people can respond to her and GET BLOCKED for being a transphobe.

"Or something.

"Because you know, having common sense totally makes someone a transphobe."

"Watch me", says Hunter's father

 

Biden's 'watch me moment' will haunt him in 2024 after recent fall, Republican strategists say (yahoo.com)  "Republican strategists are growing increasingly concerned over President Biden's ability to serve the nation after he took a tumble last week at an Air Force event, less than a year after he told voters to "watch me" if they don't believe he has what it takes to fulfill his duties for another term in office.
"Several Republicans have questioned whether the 80-year-old Biden – the oldest person to serve as president of the U.S. – is physically and mentally up to the intense demands of the White House for another four years. However, many of those questioning his abilities had done so well before he fell at the commencement ceremony at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado last Thursday.
"Last November, while fielding questions from reporters at the White House, Biden dismissed concerns from two-thirds of American voters who said in a poll that he should not seek re-election. "What is your message to them and how does that factor into your final decision about whether or not to run for re-election?" one reporter asked at the time.
" 'It doesn't" Biden replied. Asked once more at the time what his message would be to those who oppose his endeavors to seek another term, Biden said, "Watch me."

NY Times article on Biden’s age ripped as ‘slobbering,’ ‘embarrassing’ after latest fall | Fox News  
"At the same time, he is trim and fit, exercises five days a week and does not drink," it added. "He has at times exhibited striking stamina, such as when he flew to Poland then boarded a nine-hour train ride to make a secret visit to Kyiv, spent hours on the ground, then endured another nine-hour train ride and a flight to Warsaw. A study of his schedule by Mr. Biden’s aides shows that he has traveled slightly more in the first few months of his third year in office than Mr. Obama did in his."

 Biden’s falls are a serious issue that may hurt Dems — and even the nation (msn.com)

. . ."Biden is 80 years old, is in decline and has a stiff, shuffling gait that makes you hold your breath when he’s negotiating stairs or any place with potential obstacles. At his age, once the falls start, they usually don’t stop.

"Democrats should be thinking long and hard whether this is the vessel they want to ride into 2024 — and to portray as up for performing the job of president of the United States in a second term extending all the way until January 2029.". . .

“We hope and wish Joe Biden a swift recovery from any injuries he may have sustained, but we also wish the United States of America a swift recovery from the injuries it has sustained because of Joe Biden and his policies,” said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is now also a presidential candidate.

Joe Biden’s worst gaffes of all time (nypost.com)

“ 'Every once in a while I make a mistake,” President Biden said in May 2022. “Like, well, once a speech.”

"He was being modest. Over five decades in public life, the former vice president and longtime US senator built a reputation as America’s premier gaffe-meister, winning the White House in 2020 despite a long history of racist comments, snide asides, and enraged diatribes against voters.

"And the rigors of the office have, if anything, worsened the problem for Biden, 79, the oldest president in US history. 

"Since his inauguration, Biden’s verbal stumbles, overblown claims, and outright fabrications have caused endless headaches for the staffers who must clean up — or try to prevent — his rhetorical messes.". . .

Can Our Culture Even Be Saved at This Point? –

  PJ Media


"Back in the late 1980s and early ’90s, conservatives boycotted — a lot. Organizations regularly sent out snail-mail letters listing companies that deserved to be rebuked. Back then, it was mostly for supporting Planned Parenthood or pushing smut on TV.

"Who can forget the outrage over David Caruso and Dennis Franz baring their butts on NYPD Blue in 1993? That seems relatively tame compared to the disgusting content portrayed on TV these days, especially on the thousands of streaming channels. Conservatives back then argued that nudity shouldn’t be shown on TV because children might be watching. The other side argued that kids shouldn’t be awake at 10 p.m., and anyway, what’s wrong with a little nudity? Despite dozens and perhaps hundreds of boycotts, Dennis Franz bared his butt on network TV anyway.

"Reflecting on the series in 2018, Franz said, “The partial nudity was one of the requests that [producer] Steve [Bochco] strongly asked for in the beginning of the production from the network.”

“He wanted to push the envelope quite a bit. So a lot was made of that. I always had great respect and admiration for his uncompromising artistic vision. He just didn’t want people to tell him what he couldn’t do. When you think about it, a great painter, you can’t tell them, ‘You can’t have this or that color.’ That’s the way Steven was as a writer and as a visionary.”

"It’s all about “art” and “pushing the envelope,” the culture be damned — literally. These people believe it’s their moral duty to change society — to rid it of all social norms and our antiquated and bigoted values.". . .

"Now, twenty years later, nearly everything coming out of Hollywood is designed to offend and push that proverbial envelope. You can’t let your kids watch cartoons or a Disney movie without them being subject to left-wing groupthink and indoctrination. It’s all about shaping public morality — by promoting immorality. More specifically, they are degrading public morality and replacing it with a strict adherence to woke ideology. A movement that once preached freedom and reveled in standing against “the man” has become “the man,” and we’re now all expected to bow to their idols.

"We fight against a culture that is increasingly liberal and depraved. We’re no longer a nation with a shared Judeo-Christian ethic. Wokeism is the progressive god, and a loss of revenue is the price they willingly pay to appease their deity. Unless and until we can mainstream our values again — and that’s a big if — our culture will continue to deteriorate.

"I’m a Christian, so I take a longer view of these things. The Bible tells us that “in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness but denying its power.” That sure sounds familiar, doesn’t it?". . .

Los Angeles School District Urges Students To Celebrate Pride Month With ‘LGBTQ+’ Coloring Books, ‘Ally Pledge Cards,’ And ‘LGBTQ+ Bingo’

Be afraid; be very afraid

The Daily Wire


"The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) encouraged students to celebrate Pride Month with coloring books of “LGBTQ icons,” creating “ally pledge cards,” and playing “LGBTQ+ Bingo.”

"An interactive graphic posted to the LAUSD Human Relations, Diversity, and Equity website urges students to “Celebrate Pride” and offers several suggestions on how to do so. The coloring book was produced by the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network (GLSEN), an organization that says it works “to prompt LGBT cultural inclusion” in schools.

"The first illustration in the coloring book is of “We’Wha,” an “Indigenous Two-Spirit Zuni tribe member from New Mexico.” The coloring book goes on to say, “As a child being two-spirit, We’Wha learned a mixture of Zuni feminine and masculine traditional roles.' ” . . .

Texas Becomes Largest State To Ban Transgender Procedures On Kids | The Daily Wire


. . ."With Abbott’s signature, the Lone Star State joins at least 18 other states that have banned transgender surgeries for minors, with many prohibiting both surgical and chemical procedures. 

"The Texas law says that the procedures are prohibited “for the purpose of transitioning a child’s biological  sex as determined by the sex organs, chromosomes, and endogenous profiles of the child or affirming the child’s perception of the child’s sex if that perception is inconsistent with the child’s  biological sex.”

"The legislation took a while to get through both chambers of the Texas legislature as Democrats used parliamentary tactics to stall it.". . .

 Megyn Kelly Tears Up - Vows to No Longer Use Preferred Pronouns (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit | by Mike LaChance  . . ."MEGYN KELLY: I for one will not be celebrating this dishonesty. In fact, I’m in a very different place when it comes to this entire issue.

"And that is the subject of today’s opening – Why I’m done with preferred pronouns…

"I was an early proponent of using preferred pronouns as far back as the early 2000’s. Of saying “she” when I knew the truth was “he.” It seemed harmless and I had no wish to cause offense. Trans people were tortured enough, it seemed to me, by nature of their dysphoria and society’s disdain for them in general. So I complied. I went along with it.

"I didn’t see the harm.

"By 2016 we were debating bills to stop trans access to certain bathrooms which I covered from the news desk, siding with the trans community. How does it affect our lives as women if here or there a trans person uses a stall in our bathroom? These people aren’t bothering anyone – why wouldn’t we accommodate them?

We care about being told that the rules of biology and nature have been suspended and that there are more genders than there are flavors of ice cream at Baskin-Robbins. We care about being called bigots if we think that it’s monumentally unfair that biological male athletes are competing against biological females and ruining their dreams. We really care about being told that our feelings and opinions are intolerant outliers.". . .

"Compare Zelensky's  palsy-walsy tone suggested by the transcript of his phone chat with President Trump that the Anti-Trump insurrectionists used for Impeachment.  Note that President Trump was justified to ask Zelensky's help in exposing the Biden family's corrupt practices in Ukraine."

Pre-2016 Fox: What Happens to the 3 Million ‘Tucker’ Viewers?

 Jacob Yusufov (americanpigeon.org)

So while Carlson will be “just fine” in whatever he does now, the right will no longer reach those older men and women that make up a significant portion of the electorate. . . " boomers will not “abandon television in favor of new, more decentralized media online.”

"There’s much we still don’t know about why Tucker Carlson and Fox News parted ways. For endless speculation, see the mainstream outlets that fired up their computers to break the story along with hundreds of other outlets that need to piggyback off of the fleeting SEO craze. What we do know is that the firing follows a $787.5 million settlement between Fox and Dominion Voting Systems after the latter alleged that the outlet promulgated disinformation about the company rigging the 2020 election in favor of Joe Biden. 

"Despite Carlson’s alleged “hatred” for the former president, as text messages in January 2021 reveal, his release of the January 6th footage given to him by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was more fodder for Democrats to call for his termination—that is, when they weren’t screeching about fictitious apologetics for white supremacy and misogyny. At one point, Carlson was accused of “advocating” for the “great replacement theory,” which has been outed as a democratic strategy to replace Americans with progressive immigrants. 

"Putting the left’s controversy of Carlson aside, there are more pressing questions that more people on the right should be asking: what happens now that the most popular host on cable television, who draws in more than three million viewers a night, is no longer on air? And what happens to those three million viewers? 

"Tucker Carlson Tonight reportedly pulled in more viewers than any other cable news show between Fox, CNN, MSNBC, and Newsmax, winning over the key 25-54 age demographic. But the main issue with a demographic spanning nearly 30 years is that it says nothing of the late boomers of 1964 who are part of a generation that will not put down the remote for other forms of media and entertainment.
