How Woke Was This Year’s Super Bowl?

/

Super Bowl LIX saw the Philadelphia Eagles thrash the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 on Sunday, 9th Feb.

The Eagles took an overwhelming 34-point lead, with a Chiefs resurgence in the final quarter proving to be a day late and a dollar short.

However, as America reflects on the end of another NFL season, there’s one question you may be wondering: just how woke was this year’s Super Bowl?

The night got off to a bad start as the NFL permitted a rendition of “Lift Every Voice And Sing”. Often referred to as the “Black National Anthem” given its origins as a poem by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson, the airing raised questions as to whether it should have been sung at all given the divisive sentiment behind it.

However, wokeness objectors were soon thrilled to see Donald Trump to become the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl, with loud cheers ringing out when his appearance was revealed to the crowd in New Orleans.

(On a side note, Trump was apparently less than impressed with the game itself, taking time to announce a new policy on Truth Social).

As the nation sat down to watch the half-time ads, it was a less-woke-than-usual airing. One particular ad proved popular with conservatives on social media…

… while another was less well-received.

There was, however, a rather memorable moment when pro-Democrat Taylor Swift was loudly booed by the paying audience (in fairness, took it well!)

Nevada Has More Registered Republicans Than Democrats For The First Time In 18 Years

/

The swing state of Nevada has flipped Red in terms of voter registration numbers, according to new data. Alas, registered Republicans now outnumber Democrats by 187 in the state which Donald Trump won by 3.11 percentage points in November 2024.

A total of 8,186 registered Democrats ditched their party affiliation in January 2025. While the GOP also saw losses, they were less than half of that of their Democratic counterparts (-3,832).

The number of Republicans (618,538) in the state is not far from the Election Day 2020 figure of 602,302. It also marks an increase of 7,000 since the most recent presidential election.

On the other hand, the Democrats – once 689,025-strong in Nevada – are now down to 618,352. Despite January’s large-scale losses, the Democrats have only lost 91 registered voters since Kamala Harris’ electoral defeat last November.

As a result, Republicans now lead Democrats in voter registration numbers for the first time in 18 years.

It’s not clear how many voters have flipped from blue to red, but the large increases for other parties suggest many are seeking third-party or independent alternatives. Non-GOP/Democrat registered voters make up 854,313 of the 2.1 million with active party registration – an increase of 280,000 from November 2020.

Conservatives on social media celebrated the news.

Others argued that the flip from blue to red highlighted a surge in momentum for the GOP.

Poll Finds That The Democrats Are More Unpopular Than Ever Before

/

The Democratic Party recorded its lowest ever favorability rating in a new poll from Quinnipiac University.

The survey found that only 31% of respondents had a favorable opinion of the Democrats, compared to 57% who did not. Interestingly, 15% of Democrat respondents held an unfavorable view of their own party, as did 59% of independents. Women (39%) were more likely to have a favorable view of the Democratic Party than men (22%).

“This is the highest percentage of voters having an unfavorable opinion of the Democratic Party since the Quinnipiac University Poll began asking this question,” said the poll’s authors, who have produced the survey since 2008.

The GOP fared better once the usual split along party lines was factored out. Independents generally held a more favorable view (36%) of the Republicans than the Democrats, with less than half (48%) holding an unfavorable opinion. Men (48%) were more likely to hold a positive view than women (37%), but the GOP performed better than the Democrats in both demographics.

While Democrats are polling at its lowest, the GOP is viewed more favorably than it ever has been.

And they did it all to themselves.

Some on social media said they thought the party’s standing was only going to get worse.

Others were not surprised by the poll’s results.

Scott Jennings Dismantles CNN Panel In Row Over Musk, Deportations And DOJ

/

Scott Jennings is a shining light in the dark hellhole known as CNN.

The Republican political strategist and writer is one of the few conservative voices permitted on the network, and regularly offers a sensible alternative to what is otherwise a left-wing propaganda tool. His recent appearance on Newsnight was no exception.

Despite the best efforts of his liberal colleagues, Jennings tore apart each and every argument thrown his way. His first victim was Maria Cardona, who went into a bizarre outburst on how the Department of Justice “does not work for the President,” despite, as Jennings pointed out, the DoJ being within the Executive Branch.

Ashley Allison stepped in as the discussion moved on to using the judicial system to target political opponents.

“By your logic, if you apply it to the last administration, which I don’t think is the case, if Joe Biden wanted to go after Donald Trump, the Attorney General should be able to do it,” Allison said.

“They did go after Donald Trump, because Joe Biden did want to do it,” laughed Jennings as Allison tried to amend her statement.

The conversation then moved onto illegal immigration, with one pundit arguing that voters had not realized to the full extent what the President’s mass deportations would truly entail.

“The assertion that all American voters did not know exactly what Donald Trump is going to do…is totally false,” Jennings replied. “There was mass amount of polling during the campaign. Hispanic Americans supported deportations by majority. You and I debated this many times. You claimed it wasn’t true. And then what did they do, they went and voted for Donald Trump.”

He added, “There is no buyer’s remorse. The people who followed our laws and came here legally are more than happy to see the laws enforced.”

Cardona responded with a suggestion of mass amnesty, arguing that the way to “get rid of all those illegals” was “to give them a pathway to citizenship.”

The highlight of the night, however, came when Catherine Rampell accused Elon Musk of performing a “second Sieg Heil”. When Jennings told the Washington Post columnist to “lawyer up”, Rampell suffered a fullblown meltdown, demanding Jennings “do it on TV right now” while slamming the desk.

DEI

Leftists Resort To Boycotts And In-Store Protests As Target Scraps DEI Policies

/

Target’s revocation of DEI policies has prompted calls for a boycott from a number of left-wing figures including a Minneapolis City Council member where the retailer is headquartered.

Interestingly enough, Target practically pioneered the corporate DEI trend in 2016 when they backed a transgender bathroom policy, and ignored conservative groups who suggested they add a gender neutral/single stall bathroom to their stores (which many already had) instead of allowing grown men in the women’s room.

On Friday, Jan. 24, the retailer announced it would scaling back many of its DEI policies. In a statement, Target announced a conclusion to “three-year diversity, equity and inclusion goals” as well as the “Racial Equity Action and Change initiatives” as previously announced.

Furthermore, it removed wokeism from employee resource groups while also pledging to cease participation in diversity-focused surveys such as the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index.

Anti-DEI crusader Robby Starbuck also shared the news, which follows his efforts as part of what is now a monumental campaign to remove DEI policies at companies such as Tractor Supply, Harley-Davidson, Caterpillar, Toyota, and Boeing, – all of which have withdrawn from the Corporate Equality Index. Some, like John Deere, Lowe’s, and Ford, have also withdrawn sponsorship of Pride events, while others such as Molson Coors and Walmart have removed diversity quotas for suppliers.

However, the death of DEI at Target has prompted a boycott from the leftist organization “Strike for All,” who announced a boycott commencing Saturday, Feb. 1.

Target’s DEI revocation also caught the attention of Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez. He said, “It’s disappointing that Target Corporation, based in Minneapolis, decided to roll back and ultimately conclude its diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. I urge everyone to consider supporting small businesses and family-owned grocery stores in our community instead.”

Some protests have already begun, including one man who said he “can’t work here” during a vocal rant in a Target store.

“I Really Don’t Care, Margaret”: J.D. Vance Destroys CBS News Reporter In Row Over Refugees

/

J.D. Vance owned broadcaster Margaret Brennan in an interview with CBS News on Sunday, Jan. 26.

Appearing on “Face the Nation” in his first sit-down interview as Vice President, Vance discussed the issue of vetting refugees to the United States. He expressed doubt that a thorough screening process had taken place for all refugees, adding that his “primary concern is to look after the American people” as Vice President.

“Now that we know that we have vetting problems with a lot of these refugee programs, we absolutely cannot unleash thousands of unvetted people into our country,” he said.

Brennan interjected, arguing that “these people are vetted”.

However, an undeterred Vance struck back, and said, “Just like the guy who planned a terrorist attack in Oklahoma a few months ago? He was allegedly properly vetted, and many people in the media and the Democratic Party said that he was properly vetted. Clearly, he wasn’t.”

As the Brennan tried to interrupt once again, Vance continued, “I don’t want my children to share a neighborhood with people who are not properly vetted, and because I don’t want it for my kids, I’m not going to force any other American citizens kids’ to do that either.”

The CBS broadcaster argued that the Afghan national arrested for conspiring to conduct an Election Day terrorist attack on behalf of ISIS was “a very particular case,” adding, “It wasn’t clear if he was radicalized when he got here or while he was living here.”

“I don’t really care, Margaret,” responded Vance, “I don’t want that person in my country, and I think most Americans agree with me.”

Many were highly praiseful of Vance’s conduct during the interview.

Others were more critical of Brennan’s performance.

Donald Trump’s First Week Back In Office In 300 Words

/

It was a historic week in the United States as Donald Trump became the second person to return to the presidency after a four-year absence.

After months of speculation about a second Trump term following his landslide victory over Kamala Harris in November last year, the world finally caught a glimpse of what to expect over the next four years.

Trump was officially inaugurated at 12pm EST, and tore apart the previous administration in front of their very own eyes.

While speeches and formal events took up most of the day’s agenda, Trump wasted no time in signing scores of executive orders in the Oval Office. The sight of a president taking reporter questions without preparation felt alien after four years of Joe Biden.

Tuesday began with a traditional inauguration prayer service, but controversy erupted when Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde urged the President to “have mercy” on immigrants and transgender children.

Pretty soon, however, attention turned back to business at hand. The President held a lengthy press conference following a landmark announcement regarding investment into AI…

… while later signing an executive order banning DEI programs within federal agencies.

By the middle of the week, attention turned to the war in Ukraine, with the President threatening further sanctions against Russia if they refused to halt the “ridiculous” conflict.

His attention on the rest of the world didn’t stop there, with a virtual address to the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday.

On Friday, Trump visited California to see firsthand the impact of the devastating wildfires, before a trip to Nevada over the weekend.

And that’s just week one!

Former Illegal Alien Rhode Island Judge Resigns Hours After FBI Raid on His Office

/

A judge widely described as the first “formerly undocumented judge” in Rhode Island has resigned following a raid by the FBI on his law office on Thursday, Jan. 23.

Central Falls Municipal Court Judge Joseph Molina Flynn was the subject of a raid at his downtown Providence office on Thursday afternoon. Footage shared widely on social media revealed FBI and Homeland Security officers conducting the investigation hours, while police cruisers were seen outside.

Flynn, who was born in Colombia and lived in the U.S. for 15 years before obtaining a lawful permanent residency permit and later citizenship, describes himself as a specialist in immigration, family and criminal matters. He is also a professor at the Roger Williams University Law School where he teaches “Crimmigration.”

No criminal charges have been filed, but Flynn has been accused of defrauding his clients, and it’s reasonable to speculate that he was helping illegals skirt immigration law.

Hours later, Flynn resigned from his position at Central Falls Municipal Court. He was also removed from the RWU faculty page.

Donald Trump Now Holds Net-Positive Approval Rating in Deep Blue State

/

Donald Trump currently maintains a favorable rating among voters in the deep blue state of New Jersey.

The Garden State has favored Democrats for almost four decades, having last voted in favor of a Republican in 1988. Trump is no exception, having only amassed around 41% of the vote in 2016 and 2020.

However, last year’s election proved to be his best yet in New Jersey, amassing 46% of the vote compared to Kamala Harris’ 52% – a surprisingly strong result meaning the election was actually closer in New Jersey than the swing state of Arizona.

Now, a new Emerson College poll now reveals a surge in favorability for the President – 48% of the polls respondents said they had a favorable view of Trump, compared to 46% who did not, for a net +2 favorable rating, something thought nearly impossible even weeks ago. A further 6% of voters had a neutral view of the President.

The poll comes amid a historically productive first week for Trump, signing executive orders declaring a national emergency at the border with Mexico, reinstating the Remain in Mexico policy, ending birthright citizenship, ending DEI, withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord, making the U.S. officially only recognize two sexes, and literally hundreds more.

Many were upbeat by the President’s surge in the traditionally pro-Democrat state.

Other commentors piled on praise for conservative activist Scott Presler.

Congress

House Speaker Announces Investigation Into “Disgusting” Presidential Pardons

/

House Speaker Mike Johnson announced a Congressional investigation into Joe Biden’s “disgusting” last-minute pardons of family members and government officials.

At the weekly House Republican press conference on Wednesday, Johnson slammed the former president for his “shocking” pardons, which saw Biden’s brothers, sister and in-laws receive preemptive pardons along with officials such as Anthony Fauci and Gen. Mark Milley.

“It was shocking. I mean, it was shocking what President Biden did on the way out, pardoning his family for more than a decade of whatever activity, any nonviolent offenses. It was breathtaking to us,” Johnson said. “I don’t think that’s anything like that’s ever been anticipated. And by the way, go look at the tape. You know, four years ago when it was just implied that President Trump might do something similar, they were apoplectic. Joe Biden himself, Adam Schiff, Chuck Schumer, roll the tape. They all said that would be crazy and unconscionable. And now they’re cheering it along.”

Describing Biden’s actions as “disgusting,” the House Speaker added: “To us, it probably proves the point. The suspicion that, you know, they call it the Biden crime family. If they weren’t the crime family, why do they need pardons? Right? Look, there’s a lot of attention that’s going to be paid to this. And I think that is appropriate. And we will be looking at it as well.”

Meanwhile, Trump hinted that Biden could be prosecuted because he didn’t pardon himself. “This guy went around giving everybody pardons. And you know, the funny thing, maybe the sad thing, is he didn’t give himself a pardon. And if you look at it, it all had to do with him,” he told Sean Hannity last night.

Many on social media were in agreement with Johnson’s remarks.

Others called for pursuing legal action.
