Say no to woke food, woke corporations, woke culture, woke ideas, woke states, woke movies, woke public figures, woke products, woke songs, woke medicine, woke gas prices and woke politicians. Everything woke turns to….

That’s what the mentally ill far right Arizona state Senator Wendy Rogers is referring to, right? Those weird foreign vegetables that trendy libs eat?
ChiCom authorities in Hong Kong took a page out of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s playbook Saturday by cracking down on any all public demonstrations commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, turning the wrath of the state on citizens like they were schoolteachers telling second graders that gay people exist, AFP reports. The 1989 massacre, which came as communist regimes in Eastern Europe were collapsing, is basically the Critical Race Theory of China, where even talking about it gets the corrupt authoritarian regime there really angry and defensive.
For most of the 33 years since the Beijing massacre that claimed thousands of lives, June 4th was marked with mass demonstrations in Hong Kong, even after the British left for good in 1997 and transferred sovereignty to China, owing to the agreement which gave the city a high degree of autonomy and Western-style civil liberties – kind of like how Disney World had its own local government until little Mickey Maoist over in Tallahassee cracked down on their freedom for speaking out against his regime. That changed starting in 2019, when the ChiComs imposed a new “security law” which steadily eroded freedoms of speech and expression, punished as if they were a pro baseball team’s social media manager taking a stand against gun violence on social media.
It’s almost like there’s no practical difference between their respective governing philosophies, no matter how much an evil little midget likes to pretend he’s for one and not the other.
Radio Mambí, a Spanish MAGA propaganda station has been bought up from Univision to a newly formed media group backed by Soros-associated investment fund Lakestar Finance, WLRN reports. Mambí, which probably helped more than any one thing else to put Trump over the top in Florida by calling Biden a “socialista” constantly on its programming during the lead-up to the 2020 election, was among 18 of the largest Spanish-language talk radio stations in the US picked up by the new Latino Media Network, headed by Stephanie Valencia, former Latino outreach director in the Obama White House, and Dem activist Jessica Morales Rocketto. No mas Livin La Vida MAGA, putos.
Fat former President Trump is reportedly considering un-undorsing Congressman Mo Brooks in the Alabama GOP Senate primary after Brooks forced a runoff against frontrunner Katie Britt in the first round last month and last week’s Fox News appearance where Brooks snapped at a host for daring to challenge the “Stolen Election” bullshit, Politico reports.
Said the unfaithful white nationalist conspiracy theorist during a Friday livestream: “They say there is ‘significant support’ for the ‘Great Replacement Theory’, they say ‘over 60% of Republicans believe Democrats are deliberately replacing white Conservative voters.’ They want to tell you this because they want to say Republicans are racist. They always want to claim Republicans are white supremacists,” as if pointing out what she and her fans actually believe about race and immigration using data ascertained from public opinion polling is some sort of unfair attack on them.
Not like it’s really necessary to point this out, but here it is anyway: “America is a nation with a border, and a culture, strengthened by a common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions. History has shown that societal trust and political unity are threatened when foreign citizens are imported en-masse into a country, particularly without institutional support for assimilation and an expansive welfare state to bail them out should they fail to contribute positively to the country,” is a section of the policy platform statement Greene signed onto when she and her pals in the House tried to start an “America First Caucus” last year.
“If you’re a Republican, you can’t even lie to Congress or lie to an FBI agent or they’re comin’ after ya, they’re gonna bury ya. They’re gonna put ya in the DC and terrorize and torture you and not live up to the Constitution.”
We’re gonna miss ya when you leave Congress at the end of the term, Louie. You had a nice ride. Grammar didn’t, but you did.
Conservative boycotts typically don’t lead anywhere. Remember the Great Keurig Embargo that crippled the single-serve coffee company? Neither do I. But the targets of their anger–whether it be a football player for taking a knee to protest injustice in the legal system or an entertainment company for acknowledging the existence of LGBTQ people–are numerous but yet unscathed.
Add to that list Country Music. Yep, all of Country Music, because the Country Music Association has banned any display of their (perhaps) second most favorite flag–after Germany’s 1935-45 version–the Confederate flag, from the CMA Fest to be held in Nashville next week, the Charlotte Observer reports.
“This year’s CMA Fest is our first major fan-facing event in nearly three years. We have always had policies in place that protect the safety of our fans and ban discrimination, but we felt it was important to further refine our language to explicitly outline what will and will not be tolerated,” the CMA said in the statement. “In line with our first CMA Fest lineup announcement in early April, our event policy was published on our website, which states any behavior that causes one of our attendees to fear for their personal safety will not be tolerated, and that is inclusive of any displays of the Confederate flag.”

Trailing by a margin of less than one thousand votes, hedge fund CEO and Connecticut resident David McCormick called celebrity doctor and New Jersey resident Mehmet Oz to concede the race as the number of potential outstanding votes dwindled, the Associated Press reports.
“It’s now clear to me with the recount now largely complete that we have a nominee,” McCormick said at perhaps the worst campaign party in history. “Tonight is really about all us coming together.” Oz will now face the Democratic nominee, Lt Gov John Fetterman, a Pennsylvania native and former small town mayor, in a key race that may determine which Party holds the majority in the Senate.
The frequency of children poisoned after ingesting large amounts of the over-the-counter sleep aid melatonin jumped 530% from 2012 to 2021, according to information released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, NBC News reports.
Melatonin sales have jumped 150% in the last five years, a sign of increasing mental stress manifesting in insomnia and sleep problems. Small doses of melatonin reportedly help people get and stay asleep, although medical evidence on that claim is sketchy.
In the ten years starting in 2012, more than 260,000 cases of melatonin poisoning in children have been reported. More than 4,000 were hospitalized, with five put on ventilators and two–aged three months and thirteen months–dying.
Republican New York Congressman Chris Jacobs’ career has been blown away by the MAGA terrorist forces of the GOP, as Jacobs announced he won’t be running for reelection just a week after he signaled support for a ban on AR-15s, the New York Times reports. “We have a problem in our country in terms of both our major parties. If you stray from a party position, you are annihilated,” said Jacobs. “For the Republicans, it became pretty apparent to me over the last week that that issue is gun control. Any gun control.” Oh well. Sucks for him.
Accused of contempt of Congress for failing to respond to a constitutionally-issued subpoena from the House Select Committee investigating the domestic terrorist attack on Congress, former Trump advisor Peter Navarro takes a moment while addressing the media to promote his new book, which he says will help him fund his defense against the charges. With a net worth in excess of $5 million, Navarro is representing himself in the matter; Navarro is not an attorney and never went to law school.
Navarro goes on to explain that he is representing himself because the Democrats are bound and determined to bankrupt him and he doesn’t want to spend the $700,000 he says it will take to defend him in this case. Which begs the question: If he’s in such a bad financial situation personally, how the hell did anybody think he could oversee the US economy?
Federal authorities arrested Matthew Lee Comiskey of Palm Beach County, Florida for making interstate death threats against current Congresswoman and serial diner poisoner Lauren Boebert (Q-Colo.), The Guardian reports.
Apparently, Boebert’s well-advertised addiction to firearms did not prevent Comiskey from threatening to shoot her. If it actually occurred, it would not have been prevented by Boebert packing heat unless she saw the gun first, which is not a certainty given her frequently manic state.
The threats to Boebert were largely done on Twitter, and they were uncovered by a bunch of liberal college types at the Program on Extremism at George Washington University, who monitor social media for signs of fringe behavior.
A teacher who was falsely accused of leaving a door to Robb Elementary School open and a parent whose 10-year-old daughter was killed in the May 24th mass murder in Uvalde, Texas have each stated their intention to sue Daniel Defense, the manufacturer of the assault rifle used by the 18-year-old shooter to kill 19 students and two teachers, the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Alfred Garza III, whose 10-year-old daughter Amerie Jo Garza was one of the students killed, has retained the services of the same legal team who won a $73 million settlement against Remington Arms, the now-bankrupt manufacturer of the assault weapons used to murder 20 first graders and six teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary in 2012.
In a separate suit, lawyers for Emilia Marin–the teacher falsely accused by Senator Ted Cruz (R-Quintana Roo), police officials, Texas politicians and conservative media of leaving a back door to the school wide open to allow the shooter to enter the school, even though security footage clearly shows her closing the door–have filed a motion with the court to get permission to gather information and evidence for a potential suit against Daniel Defense.
“… and so, the people who are covering up this stolen election– I-I mean, I am, I, I am appalled by them. They should lose their, ah, their status as good Americans because they’re not good Americans if they’re, if they’re involved in that And I go, that goes for the journalists out there–I call them propagandists now–these propagandists who refuse to cover what’s happening in this election are going to try to bury this Republic and bring it down and we, the people, will not allow that to happen,” Kari Lake, the Republican candidate for Arizona governor who spent 22 years as a journalist propagandist, announced, declaring her vision of a two-tiered citizenship system harkening back to the horrific 3/5ths Compromise.
A legal handgun owner lived about three minutes of his life as a murderous thug before killing himself following shooting two women as they walked to church in Ames, Iowa Thursday, WSAW CBS-7 in Wausau, Wisconsin reports.
The law-abiding Johnathan Lee Whitlatch, 33, of Boone was simply driving his pickup with a loaded handgun in the car–as is perfectly legal in Iowa–when he approached his ex-girlfriend, 22-year-old Eden Montang, who had filed a complaint with the court accusing him of harassment. In Iowa, until a judge reviews the case, the accused harasser gets to keep his or her guns, ’cause nothing bad will happen, right? In this case, the court was to hear the complaint sometime next week.
Well, that slot on the docket just opened up, because when the law-abiding Whitlatch drove up on Montang and her friend, 21-year-old Vivian Flore, just before 7 p.m. local time in the church parking lot, Whitlatch entered a short life of crime when he pulled his handgun, shot and killed both Montang and Flore, and then shot himself.
New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman’s Friday noose report has some interesting tidbits from her upcoming book “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America,” about Mike Pence being at the end of his rope, facing the gallows, and barely able to breathe as the pressure from Trump allies came at a breakneck speed in the days between the 2020 election and the fateful events of January 6th. But Pence remained on his feet and would not sway.
Original Story by Jack follows: The chief of staff to then-Vice President Mike Pence called the head of Pence’s Secret Service detail to his office on January 5th, 2021 to advise him of a potential security threat that may occur on the 6th because he expected Donald Trump to turn against Pence after Pence certified election results.
The shocking disclosure – made in an upcoming book by Maggie Haberman that will be out in October – is another example of the media or members of the Trump Administration withholding key information to help sell books, instead of disclosing the information when uncovered.
But it also shows that even with the Trump White House, staff and administration officials knew and understood the life-threatening actions Trump would take to maintain his power and control, even after he had been repeatedly told that there was no malfeasance in vote tallies and the election results.
“A Michigan man was arrested outside of the U.S. Capitol this morning after he was found with a fake badge, a BB gun, body armor, high capacity magazines and other ammunition. Just before 5:00 am, a U.S. Capitol Police patrol officer started talking to a man who had parked his 2017 Dodge Charger near Peace Circle, on the West side of the Capitol. The man was identified as 53 year old Jerome Felipe out of Flint, Michigan. Felipe, who is a retired police officer out of New York, presented the USCP officers with a fake badge that had ‘Department of the INTERPOL’ printed on it. Felipe also made a statement that he was a criminal investigator with the agency.”
“Felipe gave officers permission to search his vehicle. The officers discovered a BB gun, two ballistic vests, several high capacity magazines, and other ammunition in the car. No real guns were found. Investigators are still working to determine the reason Felipe was parked near the U.S. Capitol. Felipe is facing charges for Unlawful Possession of High Capacity Magazines and Unregistered Ammo” – US Capitol Police press release.
Justice Department: “Former White House advisor Peter K. Navarro has been indicted by a federal grand jury on two counts of contempt of Congress stemming from his failure to comply with a subpoena issued by the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 breach of the United States Capitol. Navarro, 72, is charged with one contempt count involving his refusal to appear for a deposition and another involving his refusal to produce documents, despite a subpoena from the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. The indictment was returned yesterday and unsealed today. Navarro is to make his initial appearance this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Matthew M. Graves of the District of Columbia and Assistant Director in Charge Steven M. D’Antuono of the FBI Washington Field Office.”
The United States added 390,000 new jobs in March and the unemployment rate remained at 3.6%, according to the latest jobs report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, raising the total number of jobs created during the Biden Administration to 8.7 million in just 16 months.
Hourly wages increase by 0.5% last month, with a 5.2% increase over the previous twelve months. Industries that saw the greatest increase in jobs were leisure & hospitality; professional & business services; transportation & warehousing; and construction.
One industry that has seen a major increase in jobs since Joe Biden was inaugurated was mining, which has gained 80,000 jobs since February 2021. The subset of oil and gas extraction has seen a jump of 26,000 jobs–or 24%–since February 2021.
