Elon Musk Warns About Brazilian Crackdown as X is Banned

/

After Donald Trump, X/Twitter owner Elon Musk is the man who gets liberals into a frothing rage more than anyone else. When the owner of SpaceX and Tesla bought the social media company in October of 2022, the “in-group” of leftist journalists and activists on Twitter went berserk. 

They had become used to a rigged playing field that allowed them to spew whatever they wanted while being able to shut down any dissent. Users in the center to the right lost their Twitter accounts constantly because the woke progressives would mass-report any user who broke the sacred rules of modern leftism. “Misgendering,” which is what the lunatics call the act of referring to a man as a man, was a permanently bannable offense under what people call “old Twitter.” 

When Musk took over, the playing field started to level, and the left has never gotten over its tantrum about losing unfair privileges that allowed them to control the discourse. But none of them wield the kind of power that Brazilian judge Alexandre de Moraes does. A hard-leftist authoritarian, Moraes has been threatening Twitter for months, and now he has actually banned the entire platform from operating in Brazil. 

Can a judge do that? Apparently yes, in Brazil. But as Musk warns, it’s much worse than that. Moraes, who actually wears black judicial robes that make him look like a puritan witch-finder general (or like Darth Vader) is threatening Brazilian citizens with $9,000 a day in fines if they access the now-banned Twitter by using electronic means to get around the ban. 

It seems like nothing can convince  leftists in the west to step back from the ledge of authoritarian fantasy. They’re so enraged by anyone or anything—but most especially non-leftist men who talk back to the mommy state—who doesn’t want a Trump or a Musk imprisoned that they cannot be reasoned with. But if their fondest dreams of government censorship come true here in America, even leftists will understand what they’ve done when they’re in the gulag along with the rest of us deplorables. 

Let’s sample the reaction to Musk’s post. 

It’s good to see Lily Tang Williams, who survived Mao’s cultural revolution in China and is now begging Westerners to stop the march toward Communism before it’s too late. 

Ashley puts the new $9,000 a day fine for Brazilian Twitter users into stark perspective:

Vermont Health Dept. Says Stop Using “Son” and “Daughter”

/

Wokespy readers, your faithful correspondent lives in Vermont, so I can guarantee that what you’re about to see is actually “normal” in this woke-captured state. It’s a shame, because Vermont is exactly as beautiful as it looks in the postcards. There’s no trickery in the tourist advertising. This rural state of less than 700,000 people really is full of rolling green mountains and tiny Victorian hamlets. The villages feature the classic white church spires and town greens that many people think exist only in old Hollywood movies. 

But this state is deeply, deeply weird. That’s not actually strong enough: Vermont is sick in the head. 

I have a confession: I’m a former liberal Democrat. When I moved to the Green Mountain State in 2002 to take a job with a nonprofit (I know!), the leftward tilt didn’t stand out to me, since I was part of the crowd. But over the years it’s gotten worse to the point of being absolutely bonkers. Indeed, Vermont’s extremity is part of what forced me to mature and become a conservative.

Check this out from LibsOfTikTok:

That’s right. The state health department believes it is in their wheelhouse to tell fully grown-up, adult residents what they may and may not call their children. They want you to de-sex your family members by never using words like “son” or “daughter,” but to use “child” or “kid” instead. I’m only surprised they didn’t recommend “kiddo,” which seems to be one of the new terms liberal uber-mommies use to signal their allegiance to tribe blue hair. 

And God forbid anyone should accurately refer to an “extended family,” because the Vermont Dept. of Health thinks grandma might be upset by that? Strange, since this type of state bureaucrat thinks of anyone elderly enough to have common sense to be a backward bigot whose feelings don’t count anyway. 

If this kind of weird linguistic lecturing from a health department strikes you as strange, trust me, it’s “Vermont normal.” The state is doing much, much worse to destroy the health of confused children from troubled families. In 2023, the state passed a so-called “trans sanctuary state” bill. This legislation has legalized the parental kidnapping of children caught up in custody battles. If a mother (and it’s almost always the mother) wants to trans little Johnny and have his genitals removed because he’s “really a girl,” she can take him out of their home state and bring him to Vermont. Once here, the state’s police, social workers, and courts, are barred by law from cooperating with an arrest or extradition warrant for the abducting parent. 

Worse, our state’s “Republican” Governor Phil Scott signed the bill with enthusiasm. 

Compared to that bill giving the law’s blessing to vivisecting children, the health department’s language nannying seems positively tame. Let’s see what people on social media made of it. 

The general public has better sense about children’s needs than the state does, for sure:

Some comic relief:

Speaking as a former progressive, Craig has hit the nail on the head:

White House Vax Censor Now Helping Elect Kam-Kam Harris

/

You won’t be surprised to learn what LibsOfTikTok has brought to our attention: apparently one of the main White House employees who ordered Facebook to censor news coverage unflattering to the Democratic agenda is now the deputy campaign manager for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. 

You really have to see what Rob Flaherty wrote to Facebook in April, 2021. While the email from Flaherty has redacted the name of the recipient, it does show that the message was sent to an employee at “fb.com.” What’s remarkable is the dictatorial tone Flaherty takes in talking to Facebook; it’s the tone an angry boss might use toward an employee who didn’t do her job. Except the White House is allegedly full of public servants who work for Americans, not the other way around. 

Flaherty writes:

“. . .the top post about vaccines today is tucker (sic) Carlson saying they don’t work. Yesterday was (conservative commentator) Tomi Lehren saying she won’t take one. This is exactly why I want to know what ‘Reduction’ actually looks like. . “

He sounds awfully bossy, no? Clearly, Facebook was talking to the White House and making promises to ban or de-boost any conservative voices who expressed any skepticism at all about the Covid vaccines. 

Remember when you could get banned from social media, fired from your job, and “canceled” by your friends and family for refusing to take a hastily produced vaccine? Millions of Americans said no to the government and employers who tried to force them to inject the unproven mixture, and many paid a big price by losing their livelihoods and family connections. What left heads spinning was how rapidly—almost overnight—so many Americans accepted this kind of sinister authoritarianism from the government and their loved ones. 

But now in 2024, even the New York Times, which is nothing but a mouthpiece for liberal left, is admitting that citizens around the country who think they were sickened by the jab are being ignored. 

Kam-Kam’s deputy campaign manager Rob Flaherty is in the spotlight after Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted in a letter to the House Judiciary Committee that the White House pressured his company to silence skeptical Americans. While he claims to be sorry about buckling under, the damage is already done. 

People on social media are not in a forgiving mood. Here are some of the reactions to the news that the censorious Flaherty is now working to elect Cacklin’ Kamala:

Matt Walsh Infiltrates White-Woman-Bashing Dinner Parties in New Film

/

Conservative podcaster and commentator Matt Walsh broke most of the rules of liberal Hollywood in 2022 with his wildly successful comic documentary What is a Woman. He traveled the world asking that simple question, which has, unbelievably, become incredibly difficult to answer in the West as society has succumbed to the insanity of gender ideology.

The only people in the film who seemed to understand how crackpot the question really is were the members of the African Masai tribe, who had no idea that Westerners had forgotten the difference between men and women. 

Click below to start the hilarity. 

Now Walsh is tweaking the noses of the progressive left by asking another short question. Am I Racist is the title of his new film. Taking the same approach he did for What is a Woman, Walsh manages to sneak himself into the conferences and dinner parties of the mentally unbalanced left who worship at the feet of narcissistic race grifters like Robin DiAngelo, author of White Fragility. 

If you didn’t know that these people exist, you would think Walsh made them up. But we can assure you that they are real.

Regina Jackson and Saira Rao run a white-woman mortification scheme called “Race 2 Dinner.” White women paid $2,500 for the privilege of having dinner with the pair and other white women while being told that they’re awful Karens who were born with the original sin of racism simply because their skin is white. Yes, it does seem reasonable to suspect there’s a sexual and sadomasochistic element to these dire affairs. 

Disguised in a bad wig and a Covid mask, Walsh managed to get hired as a catering waiter for one of the dinners. You have to watch this clip to believe it. Saira Rao bizarrely starts out claiming that she, an Indian woman, “used to be a white woman, an unsuccessful one,” before excoriating her white female dining companions for being awful people who live miserable lives. Everyone gets their jollies their own way, apparently. 

As she attempted to lecture at her race-baiting dinner, Walsh interjected to completely derail the discussion in the funniest way possible – concluding with Walsh asking attendees to raise a glass if they’re racist – to which nearly the entire table complied.

Wokespy readers, we hope you let us know how this “hit you” in the comments below. Let’s see what people on social media had to say.

Arizona Mayor Has Citizen Arrested for Criticizing City Council in Public

/

If you’re not afraid of losing the country you love and kissing your constitutional rights goodbye, you will be after you see this. 

The video below shows the Mayor of Surprise, Arizona, ordering the arrest of a local woman to eject her from a public meeting of the Surprise City Council. Local resident Rebekah Massie took her turn at the podium during the public comments period in order to criticize the city attorney and his salary. 

Free speech is on life support.

When you listen to the nearly three-minute video, Surprise Mayor Skip Hall tells Massie to stop talking. Why? Because she was criticizing city councilors and city staff by name, which Hall claimed was against the rules.

Huh? It is amazing what petty tyrants will do when they think they can get away with it, and Hall clearly thought he was going to get away with it. He did, in the moment. An obedient cop who seems unfamiliar with the First Amendment dutifully dragged Massie out in full view of everyone. Like cowards, the entire city council sat their mute while Massie was unconstitutionally silenced. It doesn’t seem like anyone in the crowd had her back either. 

They always appeal to “the rules,” these commissars. Rules they made up, and rules they believe supersede the United States Constitution. Mayor Skip Hall was keen to point out the rules printed on speaker sign-up forms:

“Oral communications during the City Council meeting may not be used to lodge charges or complaints against any employee of the City or members of the body…”

Convenient, no?

It looks like Hall and his city council are going to have to face some legal and perhaps financial discomfort, as legal experts say it looks like Rebekah Massie has a good first amendment case against the city. 

Constitutional law attorney Robert McWhirtier told local media, “I think that she may have a case against the City of Surprise.” The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) thinks so too. The group is mainly devoted to protecting the constitutional rights of students on college campuses, but it has begun to pick up broader free expression cases that the woke-compromised American Civil Liberties Union will no longer touch. 

Public reaction on social media will both inspire and disappoint you. Many Americans who understand their constitutional rights are four-square behind Massie. 

Another user is asking a question we bet Mayor Skip Hall would find “inappropriate.”

Sadly, your fellow Americans also include people who don’t understand their own rights, and don’t seem to think they need them in the first place. It’s amazing how many adults seem to actually believe that ice cream social rules govern what citizens may and may not say in government meetings. 

This user is correct, but what he cites is beside the point. 

The rules of free speech are not limited by one party’s subjective perception of being “attacked.” No American has to prove she didn’t “attack” a government official in order to be allowed to criticize them.

Online Gossip Rag TMZ Falls for Beyoncé DNC Rumor

/

The entire Democrat campaign for president is nothing but hot air about Kamala Harris, so why not a little more? Breitbart has the bead on what appears to be an orchestrated lie put out by the Harris campaign to pump up numbers at the Democratic National Convention that wound up in Chicago.

Did you hear that pop goddess Beyoncé was supposed to appear? Plenty did, thanks to a rumor that the online gossip tabloid TMZ put out. As it turns out, their source for the claim was Harris’ senior political director and strategist Emmy Ruiz, who knowingly lied and then joked about it after.

The rumor then spread like wildfire, as you can see below in the compilation of liberal news outlets that then pushed it.

TMZ’s gossip originated from Ruiz tweeted out a bee emoji, and because Beyonce”s fans call her “Queen B” therefore Beyonce would be appearing at the DNC. And while that seems like a stretch, that was what Ruiz wanted all along, who joked after fooling the media (who wanted to be fooled) that she only tweeted that because her “6 year old took my phone.”

Is anyone surprised? Harris is an empty candidate with no ideas except how to achieve her own will to power. She’s been rightly mocked by critics across the political spectrum for having a presidential campaign website with absolutely zero policy details and no platform. But it sure is full of pictures of Harris and running mate Tim Walz attempting to simulate human grins.

Harris managed to get an audience at all at one of her first rallies after the apparent “soft coup” that dumped Joe Biden out of the race by giving rally goers a free concert. Superstar rapper Meghan Thee Stallion looks to be the reason anyone turned out, but one thing is certain: it was the first time a presidential candidate featured “twerking” at a campaign rally. That’s no longer remarkable, apparently, as all CNN had to say about the fact that a rapper was thrusting her ass into the audience’s face was that she was wearing a pantsuit just like Kam Kam. 

People on social media are mocking the Beyoncé rumor with many saying anyone who fell for it is a fool. But are they? In a country with a major political party that endorses the surgical and chemical mutilation of confused children and calls it “gender affirming care,” is a Beyoncé convention appearance that hard to buy?

Let’s see what people on X have to say. 

He’s got a point. 

This one will make you titter.

SCOTUS Gives Go Ahead to Arizona Voter Citizenship Requirement

/

One of the strangest things in American politics is the partisan debate over the issue of whether voters should have to produce identification when they show up at the polls. Democrat politicos constantly argue against states that want to require ID to vote in elections, branding those efforts as “racist.” 

It’s never explained, of course, why asking for a driver’s license or state ID card disadvantages black or Hispanic voters.. But the way Democrats talk you’d think it was the equivalent of a poll tax designed to keep “po, ignunt” black folks from being able to exercise their franchise. 

But how? Do black people truly not have driver’s licenses? Is there something about being dark-skinned that makes it hard or impossible to get the standard ID that everyone uses daily to buy booze, or cigarettes, or any other adult item? Obviously not, but in a country where the left half is primed to see whites as devils fixin’ to git them blacks, it plays well. 

Vice President and now Democrat Party presidential nominee—she who has suddenly “become black” despite building her image on her Indian heritage on her mother’s side—Kamal Harris recently came under fire for requiring identification to enter one of her rallies in Phoenix. The least-popular vice president in history has a history of calling voter ID laws racist. 

Well, the worm has turned at the Supreme Court, which just issued a 5-4 decision allowing an even more “controversial” requirement to go forward in Arizona. SCOTUS said Arizona can force potential voters to prove that they are U.S. citizens if the would-be voter tries to register to vote using Arizona’s state form. 

Over 40,000 people are registered to vote in federal elections in Arizona who haven’t provided proof of citizenship.

The vote was 5-4 on allowing limited enforcement of the law. One conservative Justice, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, joined the three liberal justices in dissent. The court, in a brief order, did not explain its reasoning for how four justices could possibly take this stance.

It’s incredible that such an issue had to be litigated all the way to the Supreme Court. It raises the question: “Who thinks there’s something wrong with making sure illegal aliens don’t vote in U.S. elections?” Democrats, that’s who.

Let’s look at what social media users have to say about it on X (formerly Twitter). 

It’s hard to argue against this guy’s point:

It boggles the rational mind:

We’d like to agree with this next one, and in a sane world, she would be right. But when one side of the aisle sees illegal aliens as a means to getting more Congressional seats when the census comes (did you know that districting is done off census numbers, which count and include everyone, even illegal aliens?), it’s easy to see why Democrats don’t like proof of citizenship laws.

Woke Woman Wanted to Jump Out Window to Escape “Racist” Matt Walsh

/

Author Robin DiAngelo made a mint and got herself in the media spotlight for a couple of years after publishing the book “White Fragility.” The quintessential AWFL—Affluent Liberal White Woman—DiAngelo made her name describing her fellow white people as “fragile,” meaning that they were unable to take any criticism for what she says is the inherent and essential racism that all white people are born with. For people in this crowd, racism is the “original sin” that stains the soul of everyone who is, shall we say, insufficiently melanated. 

But it looks like it’s wokies, not “white people,” who are exceptionally delicate and easily perturbed. Conservative podcast host and filmmaker Matt Walsh, who works for the conservative outlet the Daily Wire, has been riling up liberal leftists for years, but this time he got the police called on him by a group of people who have ended up in his new film “Am I Racist?”

Earlier in the week Walsh released a hilarious clip from the film where he’s kicked out of a “privilege support group” and has the police called on him. Since then, the police report filed with the Ramapo Police Department in Suffern, New York, has been released, and it’s just as funny.

The members of a discussion group seemed to believe their life was in danger from the presence of a conservative white male. The officer who wrote the report said a woman who attended the anti-racist discussion group at which Walsh was present “felt uncomfortable,” though she would not elaborate when pressed for details. 

It sounds from the report like she was more than just uncomfortable; she sounds downright paranoid. Check out this page of the police report where the complainant tells the officer she considered using a chair to break a window and escape!

You can probably guess, but let’s take a look at how X users reacted to this news. Wouldn’t you know it, Walsh himself had something to say in the thread:

Others found it as hilarious as the creator himself. 

But angry leftists follow Walsh and LibsofTikTok wherever they go, and some of their reactions sound as unhinged as the very delicate lady who wanted to jump out of a window to avoid being in the room with a conservative white man. They have no trouble floating spurious accusations, either. 

What would you do to escape a room with Matt Walsh?

SCOTUS Rejects Latest Biden Assault on Women’s Rights

/

The forces of good had a major victory at the Supreme Court:

Let’s put this topic and the recent SCOTUS decisions into plain English. “Title IX” is part of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It was signed into a law as an addition to the original 1964 legislation by president Richard Nixon in 1973. The original intent of Title IX was to protect girls and women from discrimination. Here is the original text:

“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

In plain terms, this made it illegal for schools that take federal money to discriminate against girls. It has traditionally been interpreted to mean that schools must provide equal sports and scholastic opportunities for girls the same as they provide for boys. This led to the expansion of athletic programs for females in U.S. schools. 

But for the past 10 years, American leftists have lost their minds on matters of sex, insisting on adopting the woke idea of “gender identity.” An illusion made up by so-called “transgender” activists, “gender identity” is the false claim that people can be or “feel” either male or female despite their anatomy. That is to say, if a man or boy claims he is a woman or a girl, we have to consider that to be the truth. 

This is what the Biden administration believes, and it has reinterpreted Title IX to mean that boys who call themselves girls must be allowed to enter girls’ locker rooms and sports teams, for example.

About half the states have sued the federal government and persuaded courts to block implementation of these changes. In response, the Biden administration petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to allow it to implement the other Title IX changes, which are blocked along with the gender identity provisions in the states that have won court injunctions. 

The Supreme Court just said “no” in a  5-4 decision. The bottom line: this is not a final decision that stops the changes from Title IX from going into effect. It only means that the lower-court injunctions blocking Title IX changes in about half the states will stay in effect. The other states that approve of the Title IX changes will continue implementing them. The entire issue is very likely to wind up at the Supreme Court for a final decision. 

Most social media users were happy to see a return of (at least some) common sense on the “gender identity” issue, though some are still puzzled how the Democrat party ended up fighting to take away protections for women. 

This one is so on the mark it practically burns up the page:

Psst! Karine and Joe Know Each Other—Pass it On!

/

She of the corkscrew curls—or ramen noodle wig if you prefer—is having such a hard time holding together the White House’s public image that she is now reduced to “answering” reporters’ questions about Kamala Harris’ accomplishments by giving the vice president co-credit for policies enacted by President Joe Biden. Think of it as Karine Jean-Pierre grading Harris on a curve for a group class project. 

First, we have to set the scene by describing the media silliness that provoked the topic. Readers, stay with me; this is as dumb as it seems. We all know that Joe Biden is president, and that Kamala Harris is vice president. They are, literally and uncontroversially, a team that both work in the White House. Therefore, it is fair to think of the two of them as being connected, is it not?

The geniuses over at Politico don’t think so:


You read that right. It’s the supercharged version of the media’s reflexive reaction any time a conservative objects to an over the top or dangerous leftist policy: “Republicans pounce!” We are to believe that Donald Trump, the worst Bad Orange Man ever, is acting like a lunatic by “trying to draw a connection” between. . .the president and the vice president. 

We really are through the looking glass. Up is down, black is white, and there is no such thing as objective reality. 

As usual, Twitter/X users had something to say about that, starting with the estimable LibsofTikTok:

Then we get some quality snark:

How does White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre come into this?

We’re not sure if Politico knows this, but it looks like even she has fallen under The Donald’s spell. “Answering” a question from a reporter about what specific policy accomplishments Harris can claim credit for, an annoyed Jean-Pierre recently “admitted” the blatantly obvious; that Harris and Biden are connected because they work together. “Bidenomics has been something that both the President and the Vice President has worked on” she told Peter Doocy, who asked about whether Harris was trying to distance herself from Biden.

Considering what she has to defend, one almost feels sorry for Jean-Pierre, but then one remembers she willingly signed up to take a paycheck to protect a dishonest and senile president from accountability to the citizens he allegedly serves. 

Plenty of past White House spokeswomen (hello, Jen Psaki) have made it clear they believe they’re above answering questions from the unwashed masses, but Jean-Pierre has made it into an art form. She telegraphs annoyance at “impertinent” and “inappropriate” questions from the press (huh?), but when it comes to trying to answer a substantive question, she falls apart. When pressed about the recent news that presidential son Hunter Biden leaned on the State Department for insider help winning a business contract, Jean-Pierre literally stuttered her way through the answer. 

Plenty of Twitter/X users are having deserved fun at her expense. User Andrew Dice Hardy cadged the spokeswoman’s own malapropism and shot it back:

We’re with mummabear in spirit, but we’re afraid you can “just make up words”—if you’re a Democrat. 

No social media thread would be complete without at least one clinical teaching example of the symptoms of Trump Derangement Syndrome:
