WATCH: Chicago Businesses Prepare for Fiery But Peaceful DNC

/

Chicago businesses are battening down the hatches as the Democratic National Convention rolls into town, bracing for a potential storm of liberal chaos that was conspicuously absent during the Republican National Convention.

Liberals Bring Chaos, Conservatives Bring Calm

As the Democratic National Convention (DNC) descends upon Chicago, business owners are taking no chances. The Windy City’s Loop is transforming into a fortress, with storefronts disappearing behind plywood barriers. It’s a stark contrast to the peaceful atmosphere that surrounded the Republican National Convention, where such extensive precautions were deemed unnecessary.

Scott Shapiro, owner of Syd Jerome menswear store, isn’t mincing words about why he’s fortifying his business. “As we know, this city has a poor track record when it comes to protecting businesses,” Shapiro told ABC7, pulling no punches about Chicago’s Democrat-run administration’s failures.

Democrats’ History of Destruction

Shapiro’s caution isn’t unfounded. His store has been looted or vandalized four times since 2019. It’s a damning indictment of the city’s inability to maintain law and order under Democrat leadership. “We felt it was more prudent to board up, since our customers and their employers have told them to stay home throughout the convention for their own safety,” Shapiro explained, highlighting the fear gripping Chicago’s business community.

“We know from past experiences something could ensue so we want to be proactive and get ahead of it,” Shapiro told WGN TV. It’s a sad state of affairs when American business owners have to fortify their stores against their own countrymen – but that’s the reality of Democrat-run cities.

Lefty Protesters Descend on Chicago

While conservatives gather peacefully, the left seems intent on causing havoc. Anti-Israel groups are gearing up for a “March on the DNC” after strong-arming the city with a First Amendment lawsuit. It’s a recipe for disaster that has Chicago on edge.

“We’re not going to do anything different. We’re going to mobilize,” declared Hatem Abudayyeh, national chair of the US Palestinian Community Network advocacy group, seemingly oblivious to the concerns of local businesses and residents.

As if the threat of property damage wasn’t enough, the convention will also feature a rogues’ gallery of liberal elites. President Biden, along with former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, and Hillary Clinton, are all expected to endorse Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. It’s a who’s who of left-wing politicians responsible for America’s current state of affairs.

A Tale of Two Conventions

The contrast between the DNC and the recent Republican National Convention couldn’t be starker. While Chicago businesses board up and brace for impact, the GOP gathering was marked by calm and orderly proceedings. It’s a telling difference that speaks volumes about the values and conduct of each party’s supporters.

As Chicago hunkers down for what promises to be a turbulent week, one thing is clear: the party of “tolerance” and “peace” seems to bring anything but to the cities it visits. Perhaps it’s time for voters to take note and consider which party truly stands for law, order, and the American way of life.

LGBTQ+, Woke, Woke Education

DeSantis Delivers: New College Purges Leftist Literature

/

In a resounding victory for conservative values, Florida’s New College has finally cleared its shelves of leftist propaganda. Under the bold leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis, the institution has taken a stand against the liberal indoctrination that has plagued our education system for far too long. Hundreds of books pushing radical LGBTQ+ agendas and other extreme leftist ideologies have been rightfully removed from the library, much to the chagrin of the usual suspects.

While snowflakes are melting down over this long-overdue cleanup, real Americans are applauding the move. It’s about time someone had the guts to challenge the status quo and protect our young minds from the onslaught of woke nonsense. This isn’t censorship, folks – it’s a return to sanity and traditional American values.

Liberals Throw Tantrum Over “Banned” Books

Predictably, the left is having a field day, crying censorship and oppression. But let’s get real – nobody’s banning these books. They’re simply being removed from a state-funded institution that shouldn’t be in the business of promoting radical ideologies. If people want to read about gender theory or critical race theory, they can do it on their own dime.

“We basically tried to communicate to officials that there were educational nonprofits and shelters that were immediately willing to bring trucks and save all of the books … and officials refused,” whined Zander Moricz, executive director at SEE.

Sorry, Zander, but Florida law prevents state-funded materials from being sold or donated. Maybe if you’d spent less time reading about gender studies and more time studying actual laws, you’d know that. The college is simply following proper procedures for disposing of outdated or irrelevant materials.

DeSantis: Making Florida Great Again

This move is just the latest in Governor DeSantis’ efforts to restore sanity to Florida’s education system. He’s already signed laws banning the use of state or federal funding for divisive diversity programs. It’s clear that DeSantis is committed to making Florida a beacon of conservative values in a sea of liberal madness.

“A library needs to regularly review and renew its collection to ensure its materials are meeting the current needs of students and faculty,” a college spokesperson stated, cutting through the liberal hysteria.

Despite the left’s attempts to paint this as some sort of nefarious plot, the truth is far less exciting. This is simply part of a standard “weeding” process that all libraries undergo. But don’t expect the mainstream media to report on that – it doesn’t fit their narrative of conservative “book-burning.”

A Win for Academic Freedom

Ironically, by removing these biased materials, New College is actually promoting true academic freedom. Students will now be free to form their own opinions without being bombarded by one-sided, leftist propaganda. This is what real education looks like – presenting facts, not forcing ideologies down students’ throats.

As we celebrate this victory for common sense, let’s remember that the fight isn’t over. Liberals will continue to push their agenda in our schools and universities. But with leaders like Governor DeSantis at the helm, we can rest assured that Florida will remain a bastion of conservative values and true academic freedom. The tide is turning, folks, and it’s about time.

Video: Illegals Tell Investigators They’re Registered to Vote

/

The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project collaborated with Muckracker.com to shine light on the problem of illegal aliens being registered to vote – a real problem that Democrats have long denied because they want to continue benefitting from it.

In a video posted on X, Mike Howell, Executive Director of the Heritage Oversight Project, has urged Americans to “declare independence from foreigners deciding our elections.”

“The evidence you are about to see relates to illegal aliens being registered to vote,” Oversight Project Director Mike Howell opens the video. “This is a problem national in scale. The United States of America is for Americans, and our elections only should be decided by them.”

Out of the 41 people surveyed, four admitted they were non-citizens registered to vote. While 41 is too small a sample to extrapolate from nationally, it would imply that about 10% of illegals are registered to vote if we were to.

Nobody Likes Working for Kamala Harris

/

Minimum wage jobs have lower rates of turnover than Kamala Harris’ office, according to a new report.

According to Fox News: “OpenTheBooks.com, which describes itself as a ‘government watchdog organization,’ reported last week that Harris is experiencing a 91.5% staff turnover rate within the Office of the Vice President. The organization, citing payroll records, says as of March 31, 2024, only four of the initial 47 staffers employed during Harris’ first year as vice president in 2021 are still working for her without interruption.”

Those four who stayed were low ranking employees, meaning all high ranking employees jumped ship.

By comparison, since 2021, 127 of Biden’s initial 560 White House staff remain employed today.

During his administration, Donald Trump’s turnover was reported sensationally in the liberal media to paint a picture of a White House in disarray, leading many to snarkily compare to the situation to something out of The Apprentice, given’s Trump’s signature “You’re Fired” line from the show.

Yet by the same logic, the Biden/Harris team is in greater disarray – because Harris’ staff turnover rate of nearly 92% far surpasses President Biden’s rate of 77% and former President Trump’s rate of 72% during the first to fourth years of their terms.

This Week in Woke, Vol. 2

/

I’m Josh Slocum for Wokespy and Welcome to the week in Woke. We’ve got three for you this week-let’s go. 

1. 

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. 

At just the exact right moment, Trump turned his head away from the crowd in front, allowing the bullet to graze his ear.

Serious questions are being asked 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?

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

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. 

2. 

The Netflixification of reality continues.

A new documentary set to be released later this year claims Abraham Lincoln was a gay man who had “steamy gay sex sessions” with male partners.

Lover of Men, which has a scheduled release date of Friday, September 6, claims to “examine the intimate life of America’s most consequential president” by lying about him.

A two-minute trailer details the background to the film with interviewees from different sides of the political spectrum praising the Civil War president.

Later, it discusses Lincoln’s relationship with Joshua Speed – a lifelong close friend whom the then-president repeatedly offered roles to during his four-year tenure. In addition, the trailer highlights Lincoln’s relationship with Captain David Derickson of the 150th Pennsylvania Infantry, with the two allegedly sharing a bed during the Civil War.

Concluding, the trailer notes Lincoln’s “insistence on equality” and explores hypothetical opinions on the rights of gay people in the 21st century.

According to the film’s synopsis, “Lover of Men widens its lens into the history of human sexual fluidity and focuses on the profound differences between sexual mores of the nineteenth century and those we hold today. The film fills in an important missing piece of American history and challenges the audience to consider why we hold such a limited view of human sexuality.”

When the film’s trailer was shared on social media, many questioned why the documentary makers sought to make “everything gay”.

Others took a more lighthearted view of the documentary.

Ba-dum Tish!

3. 

Duke University says that if you show up on time, take care with details, and believe in individual initiative, you’re a racist. Bet you didn’t know that.

As part of its “Critical Race Theory” series, the medical school aims to “catalyze anti-racist practice through education” and create an “anti-racist workforce.”

The document, which has been approved by the school claimed traditional expectations such as arriving for work on time and well-dressed were aspects of “white supremacy culture.”

“White supremacy culture is the idea (ideology) that White people and the ideas, thoughts, beliefs, and actions of white people are superior to People of Color and their ideas, thoughts, beliefs and actions,” according to the report.

After claiming that the United States is rigged in favor of people “solely because they are White,” the document continued to say that “white supremacy culture” is “power hoarding” at the expense of minorities.

You’ve gotta hear this quote, and you’ve gotta hear it my patented vocal technique, MommyTone. 

“In the workplace, white supremacy culture explicitly and implicitly privileges whiteness and discriminates against non-Western and non-white professionalism standards related to dress code, speech, work style, and timeliness,” “Some identifiable characteristics of this culture includes perfectionism, belief that there’s only one right way, power hoarding, individualism, sense of urgency and defensiveness.”

Let’s see what Twitter/X has to say. 

Others questioned how the practice would work should a patient arrive on time for surgery.

Wokespy One-Shot: Episode 1

/

I’m Joshua Slocum with a Wokespy One-Shot:

Republican House Rep. Tim Burchett criticized the head of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, in the aftermath of the attempted assassination on Donald Trump, branding her a “diversity hire” 

Amid heavy criticism of the agency’s handling of security at Trump’s now infamous rally in Butler, PA, on Saturday, July 13. People are asking how shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to get on an open rooftop around 400-500 feet away from the former president’s stage.

Then we have footage of a female Secret Service agent failing to holster her gun. Along with her inability to shield the 6’ 3” Trump, the Secret Service is under the microscope.

The agency aims to increase the number of female staff to 30% by 2030, while director Cheatle – formerly senior director of global security at PepsiCo – has previously called for more “diverse candidates” to join the agency.

Speaking to Fox News, Rep. Burchett blamed DEI initiatives for the failings at the Trump rally.

“Somebody really dropped the ball. You’ve got a DEI person, a DEI initiative person who heads up our Secret Service,” said Burchett. “You know she was working at Pepsi before this. I know she was a former CIA Secret Service agent, but still, this is what happens when you don’t put the best players in.”

Many on social media were in agreement with Burchett’s remarks about the dangers of DEI hiring.

Others speculated as to whether Cheatle would remain in post should Trump win the presidential election in November.

This Week in Woke: Episode 1

/

For Wokespy I’m Joshua Slocum with the Week in Woke. We’re gonna round up the best of the worst from the clown world we’re all living in. 

1. Fight! Fight! Fight!

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.

3. 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.

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. 

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?

Sometimes a picture does what words cannot.

And that’s the week in woke. If you liked this, give my weekly show a try. Disaffected streams Sunday nights on Youtube, Rumble, and X. See you next week!

Treasure Hunters Recover Hundreds of Silver Coins From Iconic 1715 Shipwrecks Off Florida Coast

/

A treasure-hunting crew’s dream recently turned into a reality after a group of shipwreck divers stumbled upon over 200 silver coins amidst 300-year-old shipwrecks off the coast of Florida.

The coins found date back to 1715, which came from fleets of Spanish ships coming from the New World at the time, which had been sunken to the bottom of the ocean during their voyage back to Europe due to a hurricane.

A group of divers stumbled upon the hidden treasure while searching near a known shipwreck area off the coast of Florida. Captain Grant Gitschlag and his crew of their boat, the Lily May found a total of 214 coins as well as other artifacts that date back to the 1715 Spanish fleet that was sunken 309 years ago. The discovery was labeled as remarkable, as the area of the wreck had been surveyed many times before, to which no treasure had ever been found. The treasure-hunting team told local Florida media outlet WOFL-TV that they had been searching for treasure for years on the coast of the Indian River County, which is on the east coast of Florida, just north of Port St. Lucie.

A company that owns the exclusive salvage rights to the 1715 shipwreck named 1715 Fleet Queen’s Jewels, took to social media to share the celebratory find with fans. The company posted that the Lily May diving team found the first treasure of the season, with the crew recovering over 200 silver cobs. The salvage company congratulated the crew for their findings which were the first since 2015.

The National Park Services explained a thorough backstory to the many ships that had traveled through those waters many years ago. According to the NPS, pirate ships and other vessels from European countries would attempt to size the valuables from the Spanish fleet ships during the 18th century, which would “jeopardize” Spain’s attempt at dominance in the Americas.

Trump Joking Pitches “Migrant Fight League” to UFC’s Dana White

/

It is known that former and future President Donald Trump loves the UFC just as much as the UFC loves Donald Trump. Trump and UFC owner and founder Dana White have publicly expressed their appreciation for one another many times. The two businessmen’s positive relationship has been shown many times at major UFC events, where Trump has often shown up to sit front row, with the crowd behind him of UFC fans showing their support, even through standing ovations. Recently, former President Trump has come up with an idea to solve America’s ongoing immigration crisis, with help from the UFC as well.

During recent campaign events at the Faith & Freedom Coalition gathering, Trump touched on the subject of the U.S.-Mexico border crisis, which has seen unprecedented levels of illegal migrants entering America for the last three and a half years. Humorously, Trump pitched the idea of starting a migrant fight club with the help of his close friend, Dana White.

Trump further stated that he expressed the idea to White of having a UFC fight club, as well as a separate club for migrants in America, with the champion leagues of both clubs fighting for a title. Trump even alluded that the migrants may have a chance at winning the championship. Trump’s comical idea was followed by a crowd of cheers and applause.

As for White’s opinion on the idea, Trump stated that the UFC owner was not keen on the proposal. White acknowledged Trump’s comments at a news conference in Saudi Arabia that same day. White responded to the comment by stating that the idea was only a joke.

Garbage Far-Left Propaganda Site “MTV News” Disappears

/

MTV, which is short for Music Television, is known for its revolutionary way of how music enthusiasts receive and perceive music-related media, as the network originally began by airing famous artists’ music videos. MTV was proven to be a success as the years following its release saw the network take different avenues of music media such as music journalism and reality TV, which brought the company to unseen heights. Now it seems pieces of the famous cable channel are ending one by one, as it’s far-left MTV News suddenly closed its website, along with the termination of decades worth of content.

Recently the longstanding MTV News website was abruptly shut down by the company, which ultimately led to the deletion of two decades worth of media content, which could not be found in such good quality elsewhere. Much of the content was related to the music journalism aspect that began on MTV in the mid-1990s. When internet users attempt to visit the MTV News website, they are now directed to MTV’s main website.

The end of MTV News’s website signifies the end of an era of journalism on MTV that originally began in 1996, covering large topics of the time such as the East Coast and West Coast Rap rivalry. Since then, the website has hosted thousands of articles and interviews, with artists of all genres. One of the company’s most popular article columns, “Mixtape Monday”, was monumental to the outlet during the 2000s and 2010s, showcasing detailed journalism on new and upcoming artists and producers in the hip-hop scene.

MTV’s media deletion is not the first occurrence of it in the music world, as MTV’s sister website CMT.com, a country music media company, has also seen archives of its content deleted from the internet. According to Variety, the recent actions are the results of the two music companies’ parent company, Paramount Global, making cutbacks due to recent financial challenges.
