Millionaire California Transplant Cyclist Plays Victim Against Car, Gets Ticket

/

Remember your Schwinn, your Huffy, your banana seat? Bikes used to be just ordinary objects that most people enjoyed, especially kids. When I was growing up in the 70s and 80s, the streets were filled with packs of boys and girls on small bicycles delivering papers, going to the second-run movie house, or having adventures on the trails in the woods. 

But today, they’re a status symbol. Bicycles are also, sadly, politically coded as “left.” As the neurotic left-leaning safetyists and enviro-freaks took up biking, children have been strapped into expensive helmets and knee pads. Gone are the days of feral preteens wheeling around. You’re lucky today if you see a kid on a bike, and if you do, they’re following behind their sedately pedaling parents like they’re lined up for lunch in first grade. 

In blue cities like the one I live in (Burlington, Vermont), the bicyclists are a minor political mafia. They cry oppression at city council meetings, characterizing motorists as “dangerous people” with “car brain” who maraud through the city in “metal death boxes.” Most of this melodrama is simply in service of making the bicyclist appear to be more refined, compassionate, and “gentle” on the environment. In a word, it’s just peacocking. 

In its maternal wisdom, Burlington and similar cities have made traffic more dangerous by “protecting” bicyclists with so-called “protected bike lanes.” These are the extra right-hand lanes cities make by taking away parking and driving lanes from cars. You end up with not just a right-hand lane, but a right-hand-right-hand lane with bicycles to the right of cars. It’s easy to see how a car turning right can easily plow into a bicyclist who is continuing straight. 

The actual goal behind all of this that no one mentions is to “de-normalize” driving cars by characterizing cars as “death boxes” and motorists as sociopaths. All the better to burnish your image as a fierce—BUT SUPER COMPASSIONATE—warrior for Mother Earth. 

All that smugness has to come out somewhere, and Californian 73-year-old bicyclist Gary Peacock thought he could bamboozle a Utah cop into treating him as a victim when it was he, Gary on the bike, who broke the rules against a motorist. In the linked video, you can even hear Gary whining, “Oh come on, man! I’m the victim here!” Then you hear the cop say, “We can go a different way and you can get arrested.” So satisfying. 

Watch below:

As Rugg’s tweet explains:

NEW: Millionaire cyclist who went viral for harassing a man for “driving too close,” nearly has a panic attack after police tell him *he* will be receiving a citation. 73-year-old cyclist Gary Peacock harassed and detained a young man for driving “too close” to him. Dashcam footage however shows that the young man, 22-year-old Pierce Kempton, actually moved his car to the left to avoid Peacock. The incident happened in Park City, Utah. When the police arrived, Peacock was adamant on having the police cite Kempton but tried backtracking after they told him that *he* would also be getting a citation for disorderly conduct. The police officer told him it was too late. “He doesn’t have to get out of his car for you, he doesn’t have to identify for you, you are not law enforcement.” “You were adamant that you asked for a ticket, and now, because you’re getting one, you want him to get out of it.” Kempton’s charge was dismissed after he presented his dashcam footage. Peacock was charged with disorderly conduct. FAFO.

Let’s see what people on X thought. 

Not going so well for Gary so far, is it?

This one is too good.

Tampon Timmy Attacks Trump for Helping a Mom Pay for Her Groceries

/

Ah, Tim Walz. Timmy, Timmy, Timmy. Tampon Timmy. Whatever will you do next, you lovable “knucklehead?” 

First, let’s compare Walz to his counterpart on the right. Do you remember a few weeks to a month ago when the thing to say about Republican JD Vance was that he’s “weird?” Vance, Donald Trump’s vice-presidential running mate, is, if anything, assertively normal. He speaks calmly and authoritatively on common sense economic and policy issues that matter to regular people. He schooled ABC New schoolmarm in chief Martha Raddatz when she poo-pooed the danger to Americans when “just a handful” of apartment complexes in Colorado were. . .taken over by Venezuelan street gangs. 

That’s right. She actually said it was “only a handful.” With obvious incredulity, Vance shot back, “Martha, do you hear yourself?” Watch it for yourself. 

What about Minnesota Governor Tim Walz? Is he normal, or might it be that he is the weird one? He regularly flounces across the stage like the character Jack Tripper from Three’s Company and seems to go spastic with waving and jumping around whenever there’s a crowd and a camera. One of his students characterized his teaching style as “perspiring and hand gestures.”

Walz has a drunk driving conviction from 1996 that he falsely blamed on his non-existent deafness, and he lied about it. He also lied about being in Tiananmen Square in China in 1989, apparently to make himself look more important and well-traveled than he is. 

In the final run-up to the November 5 elections, Walz has been marketing himself as a folksy, down-home, hunting dad. When he’s not wearing a cap that falsely proclaims him to be a retired Command Sergeant Major, he’s wearing a duck hunting cap and a plaid flannel jacket. 

Here he is in said ensemble ridiculing Donald Trump for paying for a woman’s groceries during a campaign stop at a supermarket. Why did he get out that $100 bill and give it to the woman, Walz asked? Why, because “Any woman he sees he just pays off cuz he did something on there (sic).” 

Let’s take Twitter’s temperature:

Obama Affects Ghetto Accent to Insult Black Men Over Lack of Kam-Kam Enthusiasm

/

“Racism” and “misogyny” are funny things these days. We’re told by the left that they go on everywhere all the time. Criticize a black person for bad or criminal behavior? Racist. Notice black on black crime? Racist. Criticize women for lying and  making up stories about rape and harassment for personal gain? Misogynist. Prefer a male candidate to a female candidate for office because you like his policies better? Misogynist. 

You’ll notice the emotional inflation of small, or perceived, or non-existent, slights into alarm-clanging “hate.” Whereas 15 years ago you might have heard people discuss sexist policies in an office, those same policies today are “misogyny.” Same with race. It’s not possible in Liberal Land to have different preferences, or to disagree with a black person or a woman, without being guilty of smoldering, dangerous “hate.”

This is a tactic used by abusive and manipulative people—they’re the ones actually mistreating others—to get a leg up on others who have done nothing wrong but to disagree with them. 

What’s bizarre is how far they will go to insist that “racism” or “misogyny” explains everything and anything. Take the case of conservative black politician Larry Elder, who ran in an unsuccessful recall campaign against California liberal governor Gavin Newsom in 2021. So enraged was the leftist political class that a columnist at the Los Angeles Times called Elder (remember, he’s black) “the black face of white supremacy” who was “hurting Californians.”

It is astonishing that a mainstream leading newspaper would allow or publish such an extreme and near-libelous column, but it’s even more astonishing that three years later, it’s still proudly published. 

But we’re through the looking glass entirely, so what’s coming next won’t surprise you. Barack Obama, former (and according to many, current) President of the United States, has put on his best stentorian condescension to tell fellow black men that they’re misogynists if they don’t vote for Kamala Harris. 

Check out this 1 and a half-minute video. Speaking to a group of black male voters, Obama puts on an affected “black” accent. All of a sudden, he’s from da hood. “I’m gonna speak to y’all,” he says, adding in a “speak widchoo.” While he never explicitly calls the men misogynist, the implication drips off this patronizing tongue as he lectures them for not turning out to vote for Harris. After all, he says, she’s just like them. She grew up like them. She “went to college” with them. 

The looks on their faces do not indicate that the men agree that Kamala Harris is “one of us.”

And then CNN. Contributor Scott Jennings called it like it is, tearing into Obama’s condescending treatment of a bunch of guys he’s trying to convince to vote for his gal. Jennings is right: this party actually has a problem with men, with men voting their minds. They can’t speak to men like people, because they don’t think men are fully moral humans the way women are. 

Collin Rugg comments on this on X/Twitter. 

Let’s see what the crowd had to say. 

Not going well for Barack so far. Let’s keep looking. 

Sad trombone for Obama.

Thing That Never Happens Happening in Maine: Illegals Voting

/

Let’s list some of the things that the media and Democrat establishment says there’s “no evidence” for. All of these things are actually true, and backed up by the evidence the left claims doesn’t exist. 

  • That the “Russian collusion” Democrats claim Donald Trump engaged in with the 2016 election is just a hoax. Hell, Hillary Clinton arranged for the “Steele Dossier” to be compiled, with its lewd and ludicrous allegations against Trump. 
  • That presidential son Hunter Biden’s laptop was filled with video, images, and records showing Hunter doing hard drugs and frolicking with prostitutes. Twitter banned the country’s oldest newspaper, the New York Post, from the entire platform simply for publishing an investigation. All mainstream media refused to cover the story, or blatantly lied, claiming it was “disinformation.” It was not. All of it was true. 
  • That there were zero election irregularities in 2020, there’s no evidence at all, not even a little tiny bit, that even one vote was not properly accounted for. But, of course, there’s more than enough evidence of electoral shenanigans to justify investigations that will never happen. 

That’s what we’re told by the left: “there’s no evidence.” There’s no evidence for any wrongdoing on the part of any Democrat ever, and nothing a Republican suspects is ever true and it must never be investigated. This is just a lie. It is not a disagreement. It is not a “differing interpretation.” It is a brazen, deliberate lie. 

Being a conservative in 2024 is to be constantly frustrated by the predictable revelations about Democrat malfeasance. Sooner or later, the truth comes out, and the skullduggery they all assured us never took place turns out to have taken place. But by the time we learn about it, it’s a “non-story.” Neither the Democrat establishment nor the mainstream media (entirely leftist) ever have to apologize. They never pay any consequences. 

It appears the same dynamic is starting again in the state of Maine. LibsofTikTok brings us this news:

The newish reporting outlet Maine Wire did the work. They found evidence in government documents that illegal aliens were fraudulently billing Medicaid (that’s your tax dollars). But they also found that some of these illegal aliens were registered to vote. Worse, these aliens cast ballots in elections, for Democrats, naturally.

Records show the legal and illegal aliens billing Medicaid, known in Maine as MaineCare, for hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical expenses. They were provided to the Maine Wire by a whistleblower concerned about potentially fraudulent billing practices at a healthcare provider in Maine.

When the identities of the 18 legal and illegal aliens named in the records were cross-referenced with voting records from the Maine Secretary of State, six of the individuals were registered to vote, five had voted in elections since 2016, and all were registered Democrats.

The individuals range in age from 35 to 74. According to SSN-Check.org, they received their social security numbers at ages ranging from 16 to 58. Four of the individuals received their social security numbers in Maine, while one received their number in Georgia and another received theirs in California.

Let’s see if people on X/Twitter believe this constitutes “no evidence” of illegal alien voter fraud benefiting Democrats. 

Look! Here’s some more “no evidence.”

Jason’s got the right of it. Think about this at scale. 

More non-evidence.

“Queer” Female Commander Sends $100 Million Ship to Davy Jones’ Locker

/

It’s the kind of story that calls up musical numbers like “Anything you can do, I can do better!” Or maybe the apocryphal quote from Ginger Rogers is more apt, the one about doing everything Fred Astaire did, but “backwards in heels.”

What kind of footwear was Commander Yvonne Gray wearing when she scuttled a $100 million New Zealand battleship? What, if anything, was she doing backward? 

The British lesbian (we’re assured this characteristic is super-very-important in military exercises) was on her first ship command at the helm of the HMNZS Manawanui when the vessel went down on Saturday October 5. The ship ran aground on a reef off the coast of Samoa and caught fire. The crew saw smoke that morning at about 6:30, and by 9 a.m. local time the Manawanui had slipped beneath the surface of the ocean. All of the 75 crew aboard were rescued. 

The New Zealand Navy has started an investigation, of course, but it will take time to figure out all the factors that went into the ship’s loss. 

Commander Gray is said to have been inexperienced, and many people are calling her a diversity hire. Now, there’s nothing about being a lesbian that automatically signals “unfit to command a ship.” But it is true that unqualified people have been placed in senior positions of government and corporations over the past several years because they ticked a diversity box: woman, gay, trans, not-white, etc. This is just plain true, and everyone knows it. 

Indeed, much hoopla was made about Gray’s ascension to command—she’s a former teacher whose dream was to open a restaurant—as a “queer woman.” Here’s just one example of the exuberant, gushing, and dare we say, feminine, praise of women in the New Zealand military simply because they are women. 

Even if the investigation determines that Commander Gray acted appropriately and was not responsible for the $100 million disaster, it’s not going to be possible to stop tongues wagging. People are so fed up with incompetent minorities being elevated to positions of power, while competent people are called “racist” and “bigoted” for pointing it out, that no one has any rational reason to trust investigations that find no fault. After all, these agencies and military branches are obviously hiring to fill diversity quotas; why would anyone believe a word they say? 

It’s already starting on social media. 

And some of it is funny as hell. 

Let’s see what others have to say. 

Sorry, but the old guy here is right. 

It’s amazing how closely modern life resembles parodies from 50 years ago.

Harris Husband Emhoff is “Redefining Masculinity” by Allegedly Hitting Women

/

It’s always been the case that egotistical people are attracted to positions of power. We often remark on how power corrupts, but it’s probably more accurate that positions of power attract the already corrupted, the narcissistic. 

But it’s undoubtedly the case that our society in general today is more narcissistic, and it looks like the percentage of people with strong narcissistic tendencies is greater than it’s ever been in living memory. 

Power-hungry people use many tools to beguile us and extract resources: flattery, lying, manipulation. One of their favorite tools is the “narcissistic reversal.” It’s so simple and straightforward that you may be surprised at how well it works (and it works most of the time). It’s just reversing the truth, calling black white, calling good actions bad actions, calling perpetrators of abuse “victims.” Normal people don’t act this way, and that’s how we’re taken in by the narcissistic reversal. We can’t imagine lying this way, so we incorrectly assume that no one else would.

Therefore, if John says he’s a victim, he must be, right? 

The Democrat Party has been doing one hell of a reversal on the concept of masculinity. Anyone who has watched Minnesota Governor and vice presidential hopeful Tim Walz prance across the stage would not think of him first when talking about the art of manliness. His feet barely touch the floor and he waves frenetically like Jack Tripper, the character in the old sitcom Three’s Company who pretends to be homosexual so the landlord will allow him to room with two girls (oh, remember the days when people cared about propriety?). 

Yet there the blue team is trying to portray Walz as “America’s Dad.” 

It’s not as obviously ridiculous since Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff has not been observed prancing, but the left is trying to sell us on the idea that Emhoff is “the new masculinity.” What women on the left are doing is reversing the definition of “masculine.” Emhoff appears to be content, as commentator Matt Walsh said recently, to play second fiddle to his wife. That’s what these women really want, and they’re calling that “masculine” to sell it to sane people. 

But even under the old definition of manliness, Emhoff doesn’t look so good. Prolific X user Collin Rugg has this on allegations that Emhoff (who cheated on his former wife and got the nanny pregnant) has a history of abusing women. 

As Rugg said on X, “It’s always the male feminists.”

Let’s see what others had to say. 

Chuck has a good question. 

Eric here is probably going to be waiting a long time.

Union Boss Talks Like a “Godfather” Character, Threatens Americans

/

Many Americans are generally sympathetic to what unions claim they stand for, honest pay for honest work. Even though they lean in different directions on unions, both liberals and conservatives can imagine scenarios where corporate power gets out of control and becomes exploitative, and it needs to be met with an opposing force.

But it’s a lot harder for most of us to sympathize with union bosses and the corrupt way in which they operate. As the nation sits through the first day of a Longshoreman’s union strike—47,000 dock and port workers on the east coast—that could cripple the supply chain worse than the government-bungled pandemic response, the head of the union is raising eyebrows.

Harold Daggett is the president of the International Longshoremen’s Association (the striking union). He sat down in front of a camera and delivered a list of dire consequences to other industries and his fellow Americans if the union’s demands aren’t met. Auto dealers out of cars? Too bad. President screaming at my guys to go back to work? Too bad. “I will cripple you,” Daggett said, looking and sounding like a movie mafioso, down to the vulgar gold chain.

Listen for yourself:

It gets better. Turns out—surprise!—Daggett has a past.

Daggett makes almost a million dollars a year, owns multiple yachts, and drives a Bentley. To be fair, union bosses aren’t asked to take a vow of poverty, as disproportionate as such compensation might seem.

But what about the fact that he’s been charged with racketeering by the Department of Justice (he beat both cases)? What about the fact that one of his co-defendants was found rotting in a car during the trial?

Seems a little harder to sympathize with him knowing that. Let’s see what X users had to say.

Why not start with Space Daddy and X owner Elon Musk?

4% of Haiti’s Entire Population Has Entered U.S. Under Biden-Harris – And That’s Not All

/

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have been importing an astonishing number of third-world Haitians into the country. That’s right. The administration has been actively arranging and paying for Haitian “migrants” to fly into the U.S. More on this below, but first, we need to prepare the ground. 

It’s astonishing reading news articles in 2024 to prepare for an article like this one you’re reading on Wokespy. Yours truly was a working newspaper reporter about 25 years ago during the very last period in which news organizations still believed, at least partially, in reporting the facts, not editorializing with a political slant. Not so now. In preparing another article about the allegations by Springfield, Ohio residents who claim Haitians are stealing ducks and geese (and household pets) from local parks and neighborhoods, I could not find one story that didn’t sound like a press release from the Democratic National Committee. 

Every single headline and lead sentence said something like, “Vance and Trump repeat baseless claims,” or “Vance claims cats getting eaten without evidence.” There’s a big problem: these claims are not baseless, and it is not true that there is “no evidence.” There is plenty of evidence, and it is the same kind of evidence introduced in actual court proceedings: eyewitness testimony and police reports.

Yet even liberal mainstream media cannot deny every fact. Take this article from Newsweek. The angle is to big up the Biden administration, and Kamala Harris, for an alleged 70 percent drop in illegal border crossings recently. But read carefully. The drop only came after Biden was forced to take action after pressure from Republicans furious at the millions of illegals the administration is welcoming into the U.S. with no vetting. And the drop wouldn’t have been so large in percentage terms if the Biden-Harris admin didn’t let border crossings explode in the first place.

Buried deep in the Newsweek article is this bit of truth. It’s a quote from Customs and Border Patrol: “Through the end of August 2024, nearly 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans arrived lawfully on commercial flights and were granted parole under these processes.”

That’s right. Half a million “migrants” “arrived lawfully” on “commercial flights.” Half a million got a free plane ticket to the U.S. Does any of this sound sane?

There’s another way to look at the numbers that may wake some people up to what’s going on. X (Twitter) user “datahazard” has compiled a chart showing the percentage of each foreign country’s population that has been whisked into the United States.

We’ve brought in six percent of the populations of Nicaragua, Cuba, and Honduras, plus four percent of Haiti’s population. Let’s see what social media users had to say. 

Does the Kamala Express go to Coconut Tree Island, too? 

Jay here is right about Kamala being a joke, but will enough Dems wake up before November to prevent a disaster?

Debra’s post highlights something new, too. Every U.S. state is now a “border state.” It used to be that Texas, Arizona, and California got most of the illegals. But even up here in your faithful correspondent’s northeast state of Vermont, you can literally see the population changing by the week as spanish-Speaking “migrants” show up in greater numbers (most of them speak no English, and most of them are single young men).

Biden Lies About the Second Amendment Again. And Again. And Again.

/

Have Americans gotten used to being yelled at by our presidents? President Joe Biden seems to believe it’s normal to scream at his audience and the population generally as if he were an angry father. 

The tone of some of his statements during the “pandemic” shocked many observers. In September of 2021, a year and a few months into the “pandemic” that turned into an excuse to abrogate the constitutional rights of Americans, Biden made an address that would have sounded at home in a public service ad about domestic violence. 

“We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin,” he said. To whom? The portion of the population that had not taken or refused to take the Covid vaccines. It left many of us asking, “Who does this man think he is?”

In our modern era, we’re undergoing a reversal. Politicians and public servants now assume that they’re in a parental or power-over relationship with the citizens. Somehow in recent years, it has become normal for elected representatives or plain old government workers to issue orders to citizens, rather than the other way around.

Nowhere was this more evident than in Biden’s infamous “red speech,” also in September of 2021. Standing in front of Independence Hall that was bathed in blood-red light, Biden yelled and harangued the American people, insulting regular citizens who had voted for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election.

About ordinary Americans, Biden said, “MAGA Republicans do not respect the constitution,” and that they were “empowering election deniers.”

But it is Biden who does not respect the constitution. Indeed, it is an open question whether he actually understands it. It is unclear which group of people he was addressing on Thursday, September 27, but his message could not have been easier to interpret. Raising his voice like an exasperated dad, Biden told a familiar lie: he claimed that the Second Amendment did not give Americans the right to own a cannon. 

With what has become his characteristic slurring, Biden said, “I taught constitutional law for years. NEVER was the second amendment meant to be absolute. Back when it was passed you could not own a cannon.”

You really need to listen to the audio to get the full, disturbing “vibe” from the angry way Biden spits out his words.

Check out this video clip:


But his tone is not the only problem. He’s just factually wrong. The Second Amendment has never been interpreted to mean that you can’t own a cannon. Biden has repeated this lie many times before; it is simply not credible to believe he is honestly mistaken. Three years ago, the notoriously Biden-friendly Washington Post even conceded that he was telling a lie. 

Here’s the truth. You’re allowed to own a cannon under the Second Amendment. And also; Biden never taught constitutional law.

Let’s see if X users were persuaded by bellicose Biden. 

On this next one? Yes, Biden did indeed say that.

Dave picked up on Biden’s other big lie today:

Texas Gunsmith Trolls Lonestar Democrats Hard with Billboard Prank

/

It’s what the young people today call a “sick burn.” You can bet some blue-no-matter-who people in Texas are hopping mad after someone bought a billboard right beneath another ad urging Texans to “vote Democratic.”

The billboard plugging votes for Democrats sits on a pole that can fit two signs, one above the other. A sign reading “Vote Democratic” was placed on top, with the one below reading “Cooper.”

Cooper is the advertising agency that sells space, and the “ad” is just a placeholder letting people know there’s a spot they can rent for their message. Well, the gentleman who posted the video above noticed and said, “That one right there is still available. Shall we do something?”

And do something he did. Watch below – and get ready to laugh:

It’s not just conservatives or Texans getting a laugh out of that bit of trolling. A rock radio station in Wichita Falls, Kansas, noticed the billboards. Staff writer “Stryker” for 106.3 FM wrote Democrats in Comfort, Texas, are probably having acid indigestion on seeing the perfectly legal and above-board “prank.” 

The original sign urging a Democrat vote was bought and paid for by the Kendall County Democrats.

And who was the stinker who put up the “Just Kidding, Vote Republican, MAGA” sign just below? You’re going to love this. The customer is a gunsmith who owns a business that applies ceramic coating to guns, cars, and more. 

The “ratio” on X (Twitter) in response to the post about the billboard is decidedly in the gunsmith’s favor:

But there’s always at least one blue party pooper:
