Woke Means Wipe Out Kindness Everywhere it Exists

Last update August 7, 2022Leave a Comment

Promoting meaningful social change is not the same thing as creating injustice to inflict a competing orthodoxy. Joe Biden likes to point out that we haven’t always lived up to our values. He’s not wrong, but there is a vast difference between not fulfilling our highest aspirations and politicizing America's alleged failures for political leverage. That's the problem with going woke in America.

For Washington's Democrat Party leadership lies are politics as usual. We can’t believe anything we hear. Liars govern America.

Last update August 5, 2022103 Comments

President Biden has already racked up an impressive list of accomplishments. He proved he can destroy some of the great things about America without any help from Congress. All it takes is a pen and someone to tell him where to sign.

The executive orders Biden signed on Day One were just the beginning of a series of bad moves, misjudgments, blunders, lies, and flagrantly anti-American policy decisions.

Biden won’t look back at the damage he's done. He's too busy making plans to destroy our future. Working closely with Democrats in Congress he has more than enough power to do exacty that.

Here are the newest updates to the great things about America Biden is destroying while you read this:

July 21, 2022: America is less safe with Joe Biden in charge. Now he wants to destroy what safety we have left by handing Democrat cities tens of billions with his new Safer America Plan.

July 17, 2022: Credibility matters. Don't fear BA.5. Fear Biden's response and the public health guidance he destroyed with disinformation.

Author's note: this work in progress began while Barack Obama was still in office. Now Trump is out and Joe Biden sits on his Oval Office throne and signs orders while his party takes away our freedoms one by one.

Democrats Celebrate Pride for Their LGBTQI+ Victims

Last update June 14, 2022Leave a Comment

Pride Month is back. It’s time for woke corporations, identity politics-obsessed Democrats, terminally disgruntled activists, and even our local libraries to cram LGBTQI+ pride down our throats. You can’t escape it even if you aren’t part of that constantly evolving acronym that will eventually run out of letters to promote all the permutations of sexual and gender non-conformity that can be dreamed up by those with nothing better to do.

Is Omar’s H.R. 5665 Islamophobia Bill About Boebert or Israel?

Last update December 30, 2021Leave a Comment

I won't try to justify the remark Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) made about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). Joking or not she crossed the line, but neither can I justify Democrats using her comment to score points with a new, politically-motivated Islamophobia crisis and legislation to give another racism crisis the appearance of legitimacy.

December 30, 2021: Does H.R. 5665 open the door to a UN investigation of America?

December 20, 2021: Democrats' ethical dilemma pits Islamophobia against protecting the rights of women and girls.

December 16, 2021: Why did Democrats reject H.R. 5665 amendment to protect Israel?
