Mother Jones Whines People Keep Stealing the Language of Wokeness

The notorious progressive nutsack, Mother Jones, has their panties all in a wad because the left's sacred mantra of 'wokeness' is being disrespected.  Recently, there was comparison made of white supremacy to what was called “woke” supremacy. What was so upsetting and off-putting was the author of such vile thought - one of three black GOP congressmen, Senator Tim Scott (R-SC). 

After being criticized in a Washington Post op-ed, the senator responded with his own piece, clarifying his comments.  “Woke” supremacy was as bad as white supremacy because, according to him, “Woke culture is speeding our country toward ideological and literal segregation.”  As one example of evidence, the Senator stated that more and more universities like Columbia had announced they would be holding multicultural graduation ceremonies, excluding white students, as well as the university-wide commencement. Sounds like segregation to me.

According to Mother Jones, the goal of right reasoning people like the honorable Sen Scott, is to take the radical messages like BLACK LIVES MATTER and muddle it enough until it means something like its opposite.

"So it goes with any message of social transformation. Wokeness becomes synonymous with oppression itself. Black Lives Matter is spun into “blue lives matter.” “I can’t breathe” is adopted by anti-maskers as their smirking slogan. The mantras and catchwords of movements that challenge the status quo are co-opted by reactionaries who want to quash those efforts.  Perhaps no phrase has undergone this type of distortion more prominently than the phrase “Black Lives Matter.” The “all lives matter” rhetoric was just the beginning of the co-optation. 

Today, at any right-wing gathering, you can find supporters of the “blue lives matter” cause (supposedly in support of police officers) and “babies’ lives matter” (for the anti-abortion movement). They’re flipped on their head, turned inside out, repurposed to sneer at the people they were meant to rally, and generally made to seem comical and ridiculous—a rhetorical minstrel act, essentially, whose theme is the old American standby that there’s no greater racist than the anti-racist, no greatest tyrant than the slave who wants to be free."

Comical and ridiculous—a rhetorical minstrel act is exactly what "Wokeness" is!

And the more woke we become, the more talk of safe spaces from white people, segregated events and suppression of free thought. The left are in a frenzy of excesses, and there are very real efforts to not only suppress speech but also to punish violations of new orthodoxies.  The left are protesting problems that they themselves allowed to fester and grow, covering their tracks by ever changing excuses, changing lexicon, and placing blame elsewhere.

The "Woke Supremacy" Sen. Scott spoke of is real.  It operates in bad faith, strawmanning complex systems and individuals as racist, misogynistic, etc. for power over people.  If "Black Lives Matter," then so do "All Lives Matter".

Joe Biden & CO. Taking a Wrecking Ball To The Republic

If I had told you five years ago that Joe Biden would put a man who thinks he is a woman in charged of the nation's healthcare policy, one in favor of using children as a test bed for gender reassignment cultural experiments. Or that he would politicize the US military,  or nominate some of the the most hate filled, unamerican, anti-white bigots to high level cabinet and policy decision positions, all while allowing hundreds of thousands illegals to pour over our border, your first reaction would probably be:  Joe Biden President???

Yes, the President of the United States, who just said he "doesn't criticize" China for its goal of becoming "the most powerful country in the world." That Joe Biden, who was Court Jester of the Barky Obama Administration, now being used to engineer the most wide sweeping transition of the republic since reconstruction. You'd have to be a fool of epic proportions to believe this man, one who was once a sharp minded and respected legislator, who now can barely make a public statement without notecards, is the one swinging this wrecking ball.

Just this weekend we learned Biden's DHS Head, Alejandro Mayorkas just fired almost all the members of the Homeland Security Advisory Council, a bipartisan panel made up of leaders appointed by both Democrat and Republican DHS secretaries of old, that has existed and provided expertise and advice for years to the secretary’s office.

This would seem the worst possible time to axe such a support, when they are in a middle of a border crisis, with the Biden making all kinds of mistakes and bad policy moves. The Council was non-political and actually knew their stuff. They would see what is going on and wouldn’t be able to be buffaloed. *so down comes the axe*

Meanwhile, Biden has been criticized for appointing yet another retired general to head up the Pentagon, one many believe won’t speak his mind when dealing with a new president and will wreak havoc on civilian-military relations. Yesterday, the new Pentagon chief, General Lloyd Austin, announced US Special Operations Command had made appointment of its first “chief of diversity and inclusion.” This attack of morale, good order, and discipline comes in the form of mandating  “diversity and inclusion” (diversity and inclusion do not, apparently, extend to heterosexual males, particularly if they are white).

This takes place as Army Special Forces can no longer attract enough candidates to the selection course to fill vacancies, if anything like standards are maintained. This new Chief of Diversity & Inclusion who brings diversity, inclusion, thick glasses, and a double chin to U.S. Special Operations Command is Mr. Richard Torres-Estrada. What is glaringly absent from his resume is anything remotely related to being part of an organization that has a critical mission.....and a single day spent in uniform. The idea that you are going to pluck a goober like this from a failed organization like the Washington Metro (though they are very happy wallowing in their failure and not terribly concerned about doing anything except failing, so there is that) and have him oversee efforts to ensure more of the right kind of people make it to the top of the Special Operations community is nothing short of bizarre. His tweeter account includes statement comparing DJT to Hitler.

Under a sane president, this deliberate effort to divide the military into opposing camps based on race, ethnicity, and “gender” could have been mitigated. Unfortunately for all of us, we don’t have a sane president.  What next? A soviet style Political Officer on all ships and Subs, Bomb Wings and Infantry Units to maintain the proper diversity and gender balance???

This all follows Biden's his handlers decision to give Biden Rep. Marcia Fudge to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development, who, with her $50 Billion budget favors racial equity by planting diversity in your neighborhood and turning your little slice of America into her own familiar Cleveland ghetto.

Then there's Secretary of Energy: former governor of Michigan Jennifer Granholm, a fossil fuel hating bundle of sweetness who spent most of last year's campaign season on daily MSNBC programs ranting like a meth head calling most all Republican Nazis, and says you WILL drive an electric car if she has anything to say about it!  And at Transportation, little Pete Buttigieg, former mayor  that couldn't fill a pothole in South Bend, but does know a lot about trains, and wants you to rediscover the wonders of a bicycle seat, and unconstitutionally tax your freedom of movement. 

Most of all the nominees, this Vanita Gupta chick is the most dangerous of all. Picked as Biden's associate attorney general, her public record has proved extreme to say the least. She's an avowed leftist and accused of lying about her stance on defunding the police, qualified immunity, drug legalization, and capital punishment. Her twitter account is most damaging.  This is just a sample of what has come to light this last week.

For four years the mantra of the media was DJT was a danger to our democracy. But ladies and gentlemen, what every that perceived danger DJT supposedly posed, it was nothing compared to what we now face.  REAL danger from within by the leftist to our republic. Not imagined, but real.

H/T-Nod To The Gods

Throwback Thursday: Joe Biden Plans Vice Presidential Library

♫ We Have Friends In Low Places ♫

Middle Finger News Service Wire:

MFNS - Wilmington Del.- Unnamed sources close to Joe Biden have told MFNS the former VP has gotten a wild hair and decided to build his own Vice Presidential Library in his longtime home District in Delaware.  The source told us supporters of Biden convinced him of the need of on honor, he being the historic two term VP of the first black President of the United States, and as Biden himself likes to say, "The Cream in the Coffee of the Obama Administration."

The initial plans set forth for the library are said to include a Bidenesque design of three wings.  One showcasing his early life and lengthy time in the Senate, another housing pictures and mementos of his two terms as Vice President and a third holding his personal notes and the many proposed initiatives and ideas brutally shot down by President Obama.  The building is planned to also feature a Gift Shop, 51 Political Correct Gender Specific Restrooms, an Indoor Super-Soaker Tactical Training Course, a Free-Range Fried Chicken Café and a Starbucks.

The project is said to be funded totally with moneys raised by private contributions. The FOB's (Friends of Biden) last month started a Go-Fund-Me page to raise money for the project. The target is $5.5 million. As of this writing the fund has so far raised $12.17.

Example #1062

Someone once told me Democrats would vote for someone with the IQ of an anvil if they thought they could beat a Republican. I said Nah. They once again prove me wrong.

I give you the Mayor of Charlottesville Virginia: 

After wide criticism, undeterred, she digs the hole deeper:

The Mayor sounds like she could use a Snickers Bar. Could be the inner anguish of having to repeat Nikuyah every time she says her name to anyone she doesn't know. 

Double Standards Are Better Because You Get Twice As Many

To the Infotainment media, the crisis is not that thousands of illegal immigrants are showing up at the border, but rather that they might not be receiving adequate amenities. Thus these journalists are conveniently absolved of having to ponder whether Biden’s lax immigration policies could be partially driving for the spike in crossings.

With that I leave you with this Question: when will the media realize their 24/7 - 3 or 4 day coverage of a shooting by a mentally ill perp who shouldn't be loose in the public in the first place, only encourages copycats.  Or, is that the whole Idea??
