Merriam Webster Gets Offended by Definition of Woman

/

Most of us remember our parents telling us to take down the Merriam-Webster dictionary from the shelf when we wanted to know what a word meant. That sturdy hardback was the authoritative source on word usage. 

The Merriam-Webster company wants to maintain that status in the digital age, but it’s eaten its own seed corn. Just like Anheuser Busch lost billions in market value when Bud Light teamed up with drag queen (oh, we’re sorry, “trans woman”) Dylan Mulvaney, a nellie gay man pretending to be a girl, Merriam-Webster has torched the very thing that made it credible: truth. 

They’re still branding themselves as authoritative:

Let’s see how they define “female”:

Got it. Being female is only usually about being the female sex (do you see the circular definition problem?). Also, it can just mean having a “gender identity” that’s “opposite” to male. Translation: “Females are males who say they’re girls.”

Right. With that sorted, let’s see what Merriam Webster has been up to on social media lately. 

On Twitter/X, the dictionary asked a question inside its wheelhouse:

OK. But then something strange happened. 

That means MW locked down the post so that no one could reply to the question it was asking. 

Then something even stranger happened.

Gee-what gives? 

That’s right. This is the world you live in in year 2024. The “authoritative” dictionary shut down all discussion and retracted its question when sane, normal people told it that the word “woman” means what it means.

Why? If you’re not familiar with the full extent of the woke left derangement, this is now new normal. Companies of all kinds have been infiltrated by mostly young female leftists who see themselves first as activists. They will destroy companies, destroy reputations, and destroy the meaning of words simply to signal to the leftist world how very good and kind and inclusive they are. 

And much mirth was had on this Twitter thread!

This one probably triggered whatever intern named KaiteLynne staffs the MW Twitter account. 

Looks like Merriam Webster got BIG MAD at some users.

Wife of WaPo Columnist Who Argued Trump Is Russian Asset Is Indicted for Being Unregistered Foreign Agent

/

Taking pleasure in the misfortunes of others—schadenfreude—is one of the main attractions of social media spots like X/Twitter. Of course, whether taking that pleasure is justified is in the eye of the beholder/

X user Jarvis is certainly indulging it with the news he highlighted this week:

As you can see from the screenshot, Max Boot of the Washington Post, like most mainstream media, happily kept the false narrative about Donald Trump being a Russian puppet alive and kicking. The storyline that Trump was working for the Kremlin was just too delicious for leftist media to stop before they’d savored every last bite. 

But similar allegations are hitting much closer to home for Boot. His wife, Sue Mi Terry, has just been indicted on charges of acting as a agent for a foreign government. Terry is a former member of the White House National Security Council and used to work for the CIA. 

The indictment alleges that she worked on behalf of South Korea without registering as a foreign agent as required by law. Specifically, she is accused of pushing for policies favored by the South Korean government, and of disclosing sensitive U.S. information to South Korean government officials. 

The indictment filed in federal court in Manhattan claims Terry did this work in exchange for luxury gifts such as handbags from designers like Gucci, and for cash. Terry’s lawyer says the accusations are false, and that his client is a respected scholar and foreign policy analyst. 

Whatever may eventually wash out in court, social media users are tickled that a journalist who helped keep falsehoods about Trump circulating will now have to contend with similar issues in his personal life. 

Jarvis, the original poster, set the tone:

Do we detect some mockery of the left’s constant claims of being victimized in this exchange?

It’s clear that much of the public is absolutely fed up with the “do as I say, not as I do” lifestyle of today’s leftist elites.

Chicago Mayor With Apparently No Real Local Problems Wants George Washington Out of City Hall

/

Conservatives have long warned that the leftist impulse to erase and destroy the past won’t stop with erasing only the “villains.” It won’t stop with simply taking down monuments to Confederate soldiers, or slaveholders, or “settler colonialists” as the anti-Israel crowd labels them. Of course, many now-contentious historical figures weren’t thorough-going villains except as judged by modern woke standards, but try explaining that to a leftist.

During the Black Lives Matter hysteria of the early 2020s, America lost its collective mind and stood idly by while vandals and university chancellors alike removed or destroyed dozens of historical monuments. Back in 2022, CNN reported that more than 70 monuments depicting men from the Confederacy had been taken down.

And who can forget the glee with which liberal media pictorially reported on the melting down of a Charlottesville, Virginia, statue of Robert E. Lee?

The conservatives were right.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who is even more Lori Lightfoot, his predecessor, than Lightfoot was herself, plans to remove the statue of our nation’s founding father, George Washington, from City Hall. Maybe it’s public pushback, or something else, but media are now reporting that the Johnson administration may be backing down. Frankly, it’s hard to believe there’s enough patriotic outrage in the U.S. in year 2024 that Johnson would get any blowback at all, but if there is, it can only be a good thing.

Of course, since contrived black grievance (not to mention rampant black narcissism) sells so well, Johnson reportedly wanted to replace Washington with a “black Chicagoan.”

What is clear is that many Americans are tired of this insulting nonsense, and they’re expressing it on social media with humorous sarcasm.

User Joseph Michael reminds us that Republicans were right, including the Uber-Republican himself.

Ouch, Uncle Paul! It’s funny because it’s true.

CNN Host Melts Down at Rep. Cory Mills Over Security Failures at Trump Rally

/

It may be cliché to point to CNN as the premiere example of a failed news organization, but there isn’t a better example of what happens to media when the emotions and political proclivities of its staff override journalistic integrity. 

And there isn’t a better recent example than this exchange between CNN anchor Kate Bolduan and Republican House Rep. Cory Mills of Florida. Mills was brought on to discuss how the Secret Service handled security at Donald Trump’s July 13 rally at Butler, Pennsylvania. We can all see the result—20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks shot at the president, nearly putting a bullet in his brain while the crowd screamed in panic. 

We’re now seeing video on social media with people claiming to have seen Crooks maneuvering to get on top of a nearby roof with a clear line of sight, begging police to do something about it, to no avail. Well, Rep. Mills is a former Army sniper and he’s displeased with the Secret Service, to put it mildly. 

During the interview he listed numerous apparent failures, most obviously the fact that Crooks was able to get on top of the building roof with no one stopping him, and no agents stationed on that roof. Mills called it an “obvious” spot for a shooter to go for. He said he was left scratching his head about the Service’s decision-making process.

“I’m having a very difficult time not leaning myself toward . . .this was intentional as opposed to fecklessness.”

That’s when CNN anchor Bolduan began to lose it. Visibly agitated, she interrupted Mills and said with obvious emotion in her voice that he was “leaning toward” being a conspiracy theorist:

She interrupts him repeatedly like a scolding schoolteacher, clearly trying to get him to stop speculating about even the possibility that some of the security failures might have been intentional. Despite Mills trying to explain to her that he is pointing out why an investigation is necessary, Bolduan is clearly upset and alarmed that she cannot force him to stop speaking. 

“Is it not dangerous? Is it not reckless to even be throwing around the word intentional?” she said, repeatedly moving her hand toward him in a “shush” gesture. You can see her clenching her jaw and sighing while squirming in her chair. “Mommy” was clearly upset. At one point, she even said, “I’m so uncomfortable right now.”

Are you feeling confident in your ability as an American to hear the news and information you need? 

Twitter/X users were, in the main, not impressed with Bolduan. 

Several users obviously wanted to hear more from the expert, Rep. Mills, and less from what some called the “blonde woman on CNN.”

It brings to mind the line from Don Henley’s famous song “Dirty Laundry”: “Bubble-headed bleach blonde comes on at five.”

Stop for a Chuckle: Online Jokesters Say Illegals Saved Trump

/

When a would-be assassin nearly killed President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania Saturday, July 13, his survival looked like a miracle – because it was. You’ve probably already seen this incredible photograph that caught the bullet that nearly killed the 45th president, in mid-air, just a microsecond before it clipped his ear. 

The U.S. Sun has an illustration that shows just how close Donald Trump came to death. At just the exact right moment, Trump turned his head away from the crowd in front, allowing the bullet to graze his ear. If he hadn’t, it would have gone straight through his brain. 

Serious questions are being asked (shouted, really) across the political spectrum. How did the shooter manage to get onto an empty rooftop with a clear line of sight? How did the Secret Service not notice him? Why did so many police apparently ignore spectators who were pleading with them to notice the man on the roof and take action before it was too late? 

But what caused Trump to turn his head? It was this chart:

Every honest American knows we have been invaded by at least 10 million illegal aliens under President Joe Biden’s watch. It’s undeniable that the Biden administration wants this to happen, as they’ve done next to nothing to stop the influx, and taken action to worsen it, all while bleating that it’s Republicans’ fault (even though the Democrats control the federal government). 

Really, what else can they do? The chart says it all. When Trump cracked down on the problem during his administration starting in late 2019, the number of border jumpers dropped precipitously. And then Biden took office, and the bars on the chart reached up like Manhattan skyscrapers. 

The Twitter/X user who posted the chart injected a bit of much-needed humor into what has been an awful weekend for Americans. 

Others took a similar approach with absurd silliness like this:

And the laughs just keep on coming. 

Especially in times of woe, laughter is often the best (or only) medicine. But there’s always that one party pooper.

CNN Races to Save Bottom Line By Axing “Race and Equality” Desk

/

Too bad, so sad! CNN is getting rid of its Race and Equality team, just in time for a hot summer. It looks like the wokest network on cable television (well, OK, it’s neck and neck with MSNBC) is finally getting the “go woke go broke” memo.

Three reporters are leaving the now-canceled beat. One was fired, while the other two were reassigned; it’s not clear who they may have been. This is part of a larger 100-person lay-off at the network. Unsurprisingly, the “Race and Equality” desk was set up in the religious fervor surrounding the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in 2020. You remember—the U.S. went nuts, leftists and Black Lives Matter members burned cities and government buildings.

And best of all, CNN itself birthed a meme when its on-camera reporter stood live in front of burning buildings in Kenosha, Wisconsin in the background while describing the protests as “mostly peaceful.”

Mainstream media has been left-wing media for decades, of course. But the hard turn to insane left really kicked off with the death of George Floyd, and was further entrenched by the delirium that gripped America over the Covid-19 virus. Reporting became all-race, all the time, with white people and conservatives blamed for, well, everything, all the time.

Though it’s not like their non-DEI news desks are much better – don’t forget their coverage of the attempted Donald Trump assassination only days ago, which they attempted to portray Trump being rushed off stage after falling at a rally.

It looks like CNN is belatedly learning what Bud Light learned when its value tanked after teaming up with a drag queen pretending to be woman. And just last month, rural farm supply chain Tractor Supply reversed course and vowed to stop donating to and working with leftist social justice organizations after customers complained.

Let’s check in on social media to see what the public thinks about CNN’s latest move.

Goodness-folks don’t seem very broken up about it.

CNN might be learning it now.

This user asks a good one: Why have a “race team” at all?

Biden Campaign Pressures Radio Station to Edit Interview; Station Complies!

/

The hits just keep on coming from LibsofTikTok, probably the most important social media account uncovering the deceptions in leftist politics from “trans children” to the Biden camp’s skullduggery.

This won’t surprise any Wokespy reader: A Wisconsin radio station says the Biden campaign pushed them to make two edits to a recorded interview with the President. Worse? Civic Media, the progressive station, buckled under and said yes, sir. Now having been caught, the progs on the air are admitting to falling short of their own journalistic interview standards:

Wait a minute. If the edits were “non-substantive,” then what would have motivated the Biden campaign to ask for the removal of “two short segments”? Something doesn’t add up. The station claims that it will make the full interview available now online, but who can trust that they’ll be telling the truth and sharing the whole thing?

Apparently, one of the removed segments quoted President Biden as saying, “I have more black in my administration than any other president,” along with a statement about Donald Trump’s statements regarding the famous Central Park Five rape case. Contrary to popular belief, the five accused and convicted in that case were *not* exonerated.

The Wisconsin radio interview with the president was conducted on July 3 by Civic Media host Earl Ingram. It appeared to be part of what you might call Biden’s “recovery campaign,” a futile attempt to convince the public that he is not the senile, incoherent 81-year-old that the entire country saw with their own eyes. During the June 27 CNN debate with Donald Trump, Biden shambled onto the stage looking like a reanimated corpse. He was frequently inaudible and incoherent, making statements that were impossible to understand, interspersed with moments of Biden staring off into space with a slack-faced expression.  

Social media users reacted to the LibsofTikTok post with derision and skepticism.

That’s what we’re thinking. Did the campaign truly just “ask” for the edits?

User floridanow1 said:

It makes a person suspect more media are going to start admitting to their manipulation because, why not? There are never any consequences for this lying and deception, but there are plenty of incentives for legacy and progressive media to keep it up.

Biden Campaign Deals “Disinformation” with Fake “Trump” Website

/

There seems to be no end to the deception that Joe Biden, his family, and his campaign will engage in to keep the senile octogenarian in the White House this fall. Online conservative news outlet “amuse” has discovered that the Biden campaign bought a domain name and created a website in order to fool Americans into believing Donald Trump was associated with a controversial policy paper called Project 2025.

Amuse claims the Biden campaign has posted the fake site on its Twitter/X account, and that’s been seen by at least 1.5 million users.

Despite the Biden campaign’s lies and the public’s misunderstanding, Project 2025 is not Donald Trump’s creation. It is a project of the conservative Heritage Foundation, and Donald Trump has repeatedly clarified that he does not control it and is not involved with it.

The position paper outlines a “180-day playbook” describing what it hopes a President Trump would do in the first 6 months of the presidency. Some of the policy positions include reinvigorating the concept of the family as the most important part of American life, outlawing porn, retreating from economic relations with China, closing the U.S. border, and getting rid of “non-performing” federal workers.

The fake Biden-created website is trumpsproject2025.com. On Twitter, “amuse” notes that the U.S. Department of Justice seized two Russian domains on the same day that the Biden campaign launched its fake site. Why did they seize the Russian sites? Irony of ironies—for spreading election “disinformation.”

There is so much lying that takes place online that some users did not initially believe the “amuse” report.

Amuse shot back with this:

Others immediately picked up on the “rules for thee, but not for me” operating style of the Biden White House.

Another user pointed out how sloppy power-hungry politicians will get when they correctly detect that there are seldom, if ever, any consequences for them. Be careful though, and note that this user is not actually Elon Musk, but a parody account!

CNN’s Jake Tapper Shocks Nation By Telling The Truth

/

It’s amazing what a bit of reality can do when it hits someone smack in the face.

Like almost every other legacy news network, CNN has long abandoned any standards of objectivity in journalism. Since at least 2016 when Donald Trump was elected president, the network has joined MSNBC and most others to act as nakedly partisan shills for the Democratic Party. No lie—the “Russiagate” hoax, the denial over Hunter Biden’s laptop— was too untruthful to tell so long as it helped keep Bad Orange Man out of office.

But now, in a segment some are calling the “the greatest CNN segment in history,” Joe Biden has been such a trainwreck that even Jake Tapper is excoriating him.

What makes it so remarkable? Well, the fact that Tapper tells the candid truth and does not pretend that he cannot see what the rest of us can see: Joe Biden is a very old man in the grip of senile dementia. We’re so used to the press blatantly lying about what we can all see that it’s disorienting to hear so much truth from cable news.

Tapper starts out this way: “In reality, 72 percent of voters say they believe President Biden is too old; that’s according to CNN’s most recent polling. Voters have been saying this for quite a long time. The reality is that the Democratic elites are mostly late to acknowledge these age inability issues compared to the rest of the public.”

You’re late, too, Tapper, but we suppose better late than never. Of course, it’s nigh-on impossible for Tapper not to face the truth as he co-moderated the debate between Trump and Biden in which Biden presented to the world as a shambling reanimated corpse.

Tapper then quotes Biden directly to underscore how badly Biden’s brain has declined. He reads the following words from the President:
“Fact of the matter is how can you assure you’re going to be out on you know your way to go you know work tomorrow age age wasn’t you know the idea that I’m too old.”

Then Tapper says, “Keep in mind, that soundbite is supposed to be reassuring.”

Let’s see what Twitter/X users had to say.

Many are appropriately skeptical about CNN’s turn-about.

We feel pretty sure this post speaks for most Wokespy readers:

White House Waffles on Kids’ Sex Change Surgeries

/

Like with every issue, the Biden White House cannot figure out its position on so-called “gender affirming care” (also known as “genital mutilation”) for children and minors. First they’re all for it, then they’re for some parts of it but not others, and then they’re back to supporting the most extreme medical interventions. At issue now is whether the White House supports sex-change surgery for kids.

The reason for this waffling appears to be that neither Biden nor anyone in the administration is actually making these decisions. Instead, radical campaigning groups are doing it for them. Sleuths on Twitter/X have put together a chain of rapidly “evolving” statements from the White House after apparent interference from the Human Rights Campaign. HRC began as a gay rights organization but has transformed into a pressure group that endorses the chemical poisoning of children and surgical sex-changes.

It would have us believe there are 2 million people living in the U.S. who are “transgender” and born in the wrong body. And even more unbelievable, we’re to believe that this population somehow sprung up out of nowhere in the past two decades or so.

Let’s walk through the recent White House statements.

Noah Pollak points to evidence that the White House is updating its positions based on feedback from HRC.

This leads to a chain of posts from Jennifer Block, who has “the receipts”:

The White House starts out surprisingly taking the morally sane position, that it’s wrong to give children sex-change hormones and surgeries.

But wait, there’s more:

At first glance, it doesn’t look like a big change, but it is. In the original, the White House opposes surgeries on children, and it keeps that statement of opposition in the update. But it also changes some key phrases, perhaps in order to give itself plausible deniability and wiggle room with activists who definitely want to see child surgeries.

The original statement (emphasis added): “We continue to support gender-affirming care for minors like mental health care and respect the role of parents, families, and doctors in these decisions.”

The updated statement (emphasis added): “We continue to support gender-affirming care for minors, which represents a continuum of care, and respect for the role of parents, families, and doctors in these decisions.”

Would that “continuum” of care include removing the breasts of healthy minor girls?

Jennifer Block shows us the emails from HRC taking pride in their successful push to get the White House to change its statement in mere hours:

“Pressure is working. This would not have happened without all of us.”

Indeed.

Almost half of U.S. states have banned most or all medical interventions for so-called “trans kids”. It’s the conservative states protecting children while liberal states like Vermont and Minnesota create themselves as “sanctuary states” for “trans kids” and facilitate their medical abuse.

When did protecting children from mutilation become a partisan affair?
