MACDONALD: Pregnant People Problems

November 8, 2025November 8, 2025 Steve MacDonald

Watching Vermont spiral in the blue toilet water is not enjoyable. Sure, it is a TRE, and when the legislature is in session, we get a lot of low-hanging fruit. It is sad to observe the real-time decline and fall of a state founded by a rebel militia that fought against big government tyranny. Vermont … Read more

MACDONALD: Woke Dr. Who & Woke Disney Part Ways (Declining Ratings)

November 1, 2025 Steve MacDonald

We like to give the social-justice warriors at Netflix a hard Time, but Disney, as a platform, has lost a lot of credibility in the past decade, all because it let the #Wokeasaurus in the door. Its reimaging of the Star Wars universe may have resulted in some spectacular backgrounds and film-making innovations (something the … Read more

MACDONALD: State Named After Indian Tribe Erases Indian From State Flag

September 9, 2025September 9, 2025 Steve MacDonald

I was born in Massachusetts, and nothing about any of these new flag choices reminds me of Massachusetts

OPINION: Classical Liberalism and the Woke Right Extremists

September 9, 2025 Wanjiru Njoya

To their critics—who regard themselves as the center of all things—all these men are just different types of “woke,” though some fall to the left and others to the right. Gottfried explains:

MACDONALD: “If It Ain’t Woke, Don’t Fix It.”

September 5, 2025 Steve MacDonald

We love Cracker Barrel, they said, but we’d love it more if the company came out of the closet in support of people who are not heterosexual, because that will help us sell more comfort food.

ROPER: “People Experiencing Progressive Policies”

September 3, 2025 Rob Roper

Third Way, which bills itself as center-left, featuring a list of 45 “woke” words Democrats should never say again got a lot of attention recently – much of it hilarious.

Payne: A High Price for the Woke Religion

August 13, 2025August 13, 2025 Russ Payne

At the John Birch Society’s 1970 sponsored New England Rally For God, Family, and Country, the prophetic words of John Steinbacher were spoken: “The way to take over a nation is to change the religion of the people.” This revolution has already been in process for at least a century, threatening the future of my … Read more

Schools Are Wasting Student Time On WOKE Education

November 27, 2024 Ann Marie Banfield

A few weeks ago I received a call from a journalist who wanted to talk about the safe spaces in college campuses around the country. She was trying to figure out why so many college students did not have coping skills to handle the outcome of the election. As we began to chat, we talked … Read more

Are We Feeding The Woke Right Animals?

September 14, 2024 Steve MacDonald

I accept that this is a strange headline. The woke right; what could you possibly mean by that? As a way of explaining, let’s call it the appetizer; consider the desire not to get caught up in your echo chamber. The urge to at least appear as if you are not trapped in a world … Read more

Capitalism Versus Free Speech

July 13, 2024 Ed Mosca

In the make-believe, fairy-tale world that people like Joe Sweeney, Ross Berry, Mikey Graham, Drew Cline, the Koch-bots, and the libertarians (an incomplete list) espouse, Big Business ALWAYS acts in their financial self-interest, which ultimately benefits everyone. EXCEPT Big Business does NOT act in such a manner.

Boeing Went Woke and Planes Broke. Pilots Association Joins Them (Sort Of)

June 25, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Air travel has declined since COVID, and I can’t help but think this is just another progressive Rube-Goldbergian plan to get people to stop traveling. You make it too expensive or too much trouble or too expensive or inaccessible, or even dangerous.

Someone Poisoned Tractor Supply’s Watering Hole …

June 10, 2024June 9, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Every June, we learn things we didn’t want to know about businesses to whom we regularly give our customs—bastions of what we assumed to be common sense and Christian values or – at the very least – sensibly neutral enough to avoid divisive political fads. Just sell your wares and stay out of crazy town.

Charity for Womb Condition Hires Wombless Transwoman as Its CEO

November 19, 2023 Auntie Vaquser

Endometriosis South Coast has chosen a man who lives as a woman to be their CEO, and it’s raised the hackles on several backs as a result. But not all of the arguments for outrage make sense to me.

Wokism: The Latest Critical Theory

August 27, 2023 Kensley Vitoria

Marx and Engels wrote the Communist Manifesto in the mid-to-late 19th century, foretelling the coming revolution of the working class over the bourgeoisie— the capital elite. In the 20th century, the critical theory of the times was feminism, the rise of women and their championing of their own rights in the workplace, in professional life, and in public life.

Action Alert: Stop the Nomination of Air Force Chief of Staff General Charles “C.Q.” Brown

August 16, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The US military is one of the few institutions in America the left has not infiltrated and undermined completely, but that process is ongoing and in danger of escalating if Air Force Chief of Staff General Charles “C.Q.” Brown (nominated) becomes the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

“Time to Grow Up & Back To Work” – An Ad That Also Makes Sport of Wokeness

August 8, 2023August 7, 2023 Skip

This has been lying around in my stack of stuff for a while, but it is still amusing. It is an ad for a recruiting firm, RedBalloon, that contributor Pam Brown referenced back in 2021 (“Finding Freedom“).

How Woke Can Fox News Go … As Much As CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, Etc.

June 17, 2023 Ed Mosca

Incredible thread by Matt Walsh. Fox News … one you pull back the curtain … is every bit as woke as CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, etc.. “Fair and balanced” is a LIE. Fox News is every bit as much unfair and unbalanced as the networks it wants you to believe it is different from. Fox … Read more

Paul Ryan Tells CBS That CRT, DEI, Grooming Aren’t A Big Deal

June 15, 2023 Ed Mosca

Paul Ryan is NOT a conservative. He is a Koch-bot, corporatist grifter who believes in Forever-Wars, thinks freedom is measured by corporate-profits and is maniacally obsessed with cutting Social Security. Except for the GOP “donor class,” Ryan and his ilk represent nobody, have no constituency. Here is Ryan telling CBS that the Left’s Woke-War on … Read more

Growing Calls To Boycott Kohl’s Too

May 30, 2023 Ed Mosca

This post is simply a link to a Breitbart article about growing calls to boycott Kohl’s on account of Kohl’s targeting children with woke. And … yes I know that is the Target logo, not Kohl’s

The Boycott Is Finally Taking a Bite Out of Bud

May 17, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Persistence pays off, or in this case, costs the casually woke or indifferent. Bud is still scrambling to distance itself from an alleged third-party marketing mistake named Mulvaney, as the Wrath of Can begins to impact more than just Bud Light sales.
