We damn sure never cut spending
Record revenue
But if you vote to stop codified spending increases you are slashing “programs “

we are so screwed

Woke — and still crazy after all these years


AOC informs us with a laugh that “Woke 1 was crazy!”

Yes, it was. Remember the craziness of DEI, where we admitted kids to college or hired employees based not on the content of their character but on the color of their skin?

Remember when crazed wokesters advocated defunding the police? Or defunding the military? Or opening the southern border?

Recall how they crazily wanted to abolish the prisons or, better yet, to stop prosecuting the criminals?

Don’t forget the crazy new words and phrases that wokesters invented like “Latinx” or “birthing persons” where middle-aged white people mutilate beautiful languages in the name of “inclusiveness.” And don’t forget the crazy new surgical procedures like “gender affirmation” where middle-aged white doctors mutilate the genitals of confused pubescent kids.

AOC wants the wokesters to get a do-over. Call it Woke 2. New “rhetoric” is now required for this new totalitarianism, she says.

But this isn’t a matter of rhetoric. This is a matter of policies.

So, let’s talk about policies. What’s the new policy of Woke 2 on their crazy policy of releasing murderers and other criminals from prison? What about abolishing the military? What about DEI?

What’s the new policy of Woke 2 on crazy words and phrases like “Latinx” and “birthing person”? What about the craze of mutilating the genitals of confused children? What about the crazy opening of the southern border? What about coddling the crazy barbarians of Hamas? What about everyone who got canceled — by crazies — for being out of step with the craziness of woke?

AOC offers no answers, only laughter.

the FATIGUE is real



White guilt is dead — and we killed it


The controversy surrounding the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells may signal a turning point.

Wells’s family deserves truthful answers about what happened after he remained on Mississippi’s Horn Island during a July Fourth outing. An open investigation should be thorough and transparent.

Compassion for Nolan’s parents, however, does not require the public condemnation of somebody else’s children.

Several young people associated with that outing say they have been wrongly portrayed online, subjected to harassment, and blamed for Wells’ death before authorities have publicly established how he died. Three of them have launched a legal fund to defend themselves and potentially pursue defamation claims.

So far, at least two individuals have reportedly been criminally charged over threats directed at Mississippi officials or people connected to the case. Those charges do not establish who is responsible for the rhetoric surrounding Wells’ death, but they demonstrate that online racial agitation does not always remain online.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The importance of this moment extends beyond Crump or one unresolved death. The racial-grievance industry has prospered because the social cost of resisting it was often higher than the cost of surrendering. White Americans were expected to apologize first, remain silent second, and hope the mob eventually moved on. Some families are now rejecting that ritual. They are standing for freedom, no longer allowing the prevailing narrative of the day to pound them into silence at the risk of being called racist. They are not fighting back because the truth belongs to white people. They are fighting because truth belongs to God, and justice requires one standard for everyone. The answer to anti-white racial presumption is not a competing white grievance movement. It is the restoration of individual evidence, equal justice, and moral courage.

Miss Universe Canada turns into Miss Cultural Appropriation after Indigenous costume uproar


Miss Universe Canada is scrambling to rewrite its costume rules after two contestants walked the stage in Indigenous-inspired outfits that left former titleholder Ashley Callingbull asking the question, who approved this?

Callingbull, the first First Nations woman to win Miss Universe Canada, interrupted Saturday night’s finals to criticize the pageant for allowing what she called “cultural appropriation” during its national costume competition.



The latest fallout includes apologies from both contestants, a public mea culpa from pageant director Sonny Borrelli and plans for a “comprehensive costume guide.” Organizers have also asked Callingbull to serve as a cultural liaison for next year’s competition.


In other words, the pageant has gone from evening gowns and swimsuits to launching its own Department of Costume Compliance.

Callingbull, a member of Alberta’s Enoch Cree Nation, said she was stunned when Karisa Haverkamp appeared wearing a large multicolored feathered headdress and a red handprint painted on her cheek.

The red hand is associated with the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls movement, a serious campaign drawing attention to violence and disappearances involving Indigenous women. Haverkamp apparently intended her costume as a show of solidarity—but intention and permission are not necessarily the same thing when sacred regalia is involved.

A second contestant, Jasleen Kaily, wore an Arctic-themed fur-and-fringe outfit resembling Inuit clothing, complete with a large maple leaf.
