Rachel Levine, who was born male but identifies as a woman, will be sworn in Tuesday as an admiral of the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, becoming the organization’s first person who identifies as female to achieve that rank.
“Peak Woke”
Chicago Art Institute Tells White Docents: We Don’t Want Your Kind Volunteering Around Here
I have many fond memories of visiting the Art Institute of Chicago, an art lover’s heaven on earth. With 300,000 works of art, visitors can easily get lost inside AIC. However, thanks to their friendly and knowledgeable docents, I was able to quickly find my old favorites and discover new art and artists during each of my past visits.
I was shocked to learn that AIC fired all of its 82 docents last month because most of them are white. Corporate media largely neglected to report the story, probably because it doesn’t fit a particular woke narrative.
The Very Intersectional Caterpillar – Lefty children’s literature is coming to a library near you.
Like most boys their age, my sons would much rather play video games than read for pleasure, which they consider an oxymoron. I still buy them books, but every year it gets harder to find titles where the focus is on storytelling rather than politics.
Michigan Elementary Schools Cancel Halloween, Valentine’s Day Over ‘Exclusion’ of Certain Students
In East Lansing, Michigan, multiple elementary schools have announced the sudden cancellation of the celebrations of two beloved holidays, Halloween and Valentine’s Day, baselessly claiming that these holidays represent discrimination against some students, as reported by USA Today.
The news comes after a similar story out of Seattle, where Benjamin Franklin Day Elementary School announced the cancellation of Halloween celebrations after the principal baselessly claimed that celebrations led to racial discrimination against black students.
Fire Marine Corps Commandant David Berger
America needs a Marine Corps that wins battles instead of building woke safe spaces.
11 Marines came home in boxes after the bombing at Kabul airport carried out by an Islamic terrorist freed from a prison near Bagram Air Base that had been abandoned by Biden. Other Marines were seriously wounded and hospitalized for months after the attack.
All across America there are recruiting billboards for the Marine Corps with the message, “For Marines There Are Only Battles Won”. But in the runup to the disastrous retreat from Afghanistan, the only things the Marine Corps really cared about were wokeness and race.
How James Bond became the prisoner of woke
007 has gone from being an ice-cold killing machine to a wounded animal.
Like many a kiddy growing up in the 1960s, the release of a new James Bond film was a thrilling event. My cohort were too young to know about sex proper but the saucy suggestiveness of the Sean Connery films was the nearest we got to it. Once, a rumour went around our school that there was a kissing stand-in man employed on Bond films in order to get the lighting right rather than keep bothering the star with snogging various starlets; the careers officer became quite exasperated with the 16-year-old school-leavers he dealt with that year.
Whose Children Are These?
California has a long history of “firsts.” The Golden State was home to the first computer, the first movie theater, and the first McDonalds. Sadly, the state is now leading the nation in stripping parents of their childrearing authority.
College Eyes Teaching Math and Science Through the Prism of Colonialism and White Supremacy
Not long ago, English concerned words, biology was set in science, and math dealt with digits.
Who could have predicted such subjects would soon be tinted with talk of race?
California law requires stores have gender-neutral area for children’s products
California has become the first state to require large retailers to have gender-neutral sections for products like toys and toothbrushes — a law pushed by LGBT advocates who say that pink and blue marketing reinforces gender stereotypes and is harmful to children.
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the new law Saturday that mandates large stores offer a gender-neutral section to display “a reasonable selection” of items “regardless of whether they have been traditionally marketed for either girls or for boys.”
‘Woke’ psychiatrists have lost sight of the biological causes of mental illness
“… Yet, too many of my peers want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. To be “woke” today is to acknowledge the factors that intersect with mental illness, but to ignore the illness itself. It is almost taboo to suggest that social inequities are not the sole cause for the development of mental illness. That angers me because this isn’t a matter of opinion.
It’s suppressing a hard truth.”

Have We Reached Peak Woke?
‘SNL’ stumbles, Bill Maher rises and ‘Gutfeld!’ crashes late night party
Consumers know “Saturday Night Live” is the premiere spot for political comedy.
Or, to be more accurate, was the premiere spot up until a few years ago.
Now?
“SNL” pulls its satirical punches whenever a Democrat stumbles. And, in the Age of Biden, that happens more or less daily.
‘Woke’ govt-funded London tour guide targets racist PLANTS, says botanical terms like ‘native’ & ‘invasive’ are offensive
A sightseeing pamphlet funded by Transport for London has claimed that the capital’s gardens and green spaces are filled with colourful colonial legacies and that many terms in botany, like “exotic”, are insulting and offensive.
The ‘Art on the Underground’ pamphlet guides visitors around the UK’s capital city through green spaces in Brixton and South London, focusing on the “colonial connotations” of British gardens and horticulture.
Our Woke National Icons
Milley, Fauci, and Biden are soulless men who reveal the bankruptcy of our ruling class.
As we watch events unfold in 2021, obvious questions about the fitness of our national leaders present themselves. Who are these new woke national icons and how did they come to lord it over the rest of us? Here are some observations by way of preliminary explanation.
Woke’s most poisonous twist yet: The return of segregation as one American university hires 82 diversity officers
As parting shots go, it packed quite a punch. But then it had been coming for some time.
In an open letter announcing his resignation from Portland State University in Oregon, assistant philosophy professor Peter Boghossian condemned his former employer as a ‘social justice factory, whose only inputs were race, gender and victimhood and whose only outputs were grievance and division’.
What had once been a bastion of free inquiry was gripped by ‘a culture of offence where students are too afraid to speak openly and honestly’.
Not using preferred pronouns a human rights offense, Canadian tribunal rules
“Using correct pronouns communicates that we see and respect a person for who they are,” Devyn Cousineau, a member of the tribunal, wrote in the 42-page ruling . “Especially for trans, non-binary, or other non-cisgender people, using the correct pronouns validates and affirms they are a person equally deserving of respect and dignity.”
