As WKRG reported, 23-year-old Atmore resident Sara Milliken won Miss Alabama on her third try over Memorial Day weekend. The morbidly obese Milliken claimed her goal was only to make the top 10 after failing even to place in her previous two attempts. Yet, she is now Miss Alabama. A few days later, despite an array of stunningly beautiful, charming, and intelligent women to choose from in the Miss Maryland USA pageant, the contest’s judges awarded the crown to a biological male who goes by the name of Bailey Anne Kennedy.

WOKE ALERT!!!! In one of the most ridiculous WOKE moves of all time, makers of the hit children's cartoon Bluey have COMPLETELY RUINED the show by trying to claim that the main character - a BLUE dog - is actually a GIRL. As if that's not enough, these WOKE ACTIVISTS are saying that Bluey was, in fact, a GIRL THE WHOLE TIME. It's disgusting. Suddenly telling fans that that the BLUE dog is FEMALE isn't enough for these nutjobs. They want to rewrite history and tell us that the obviously blue dog was female FROM BIRTH. Do they think...

Activist investor Nelson Peltz has sold his entire Disney stake, according to a source familiar with the matter. Peltz sold his position at a price of around $120 a share, which yielded a return of about $1 billion, the source said.

Well, I soon found what was labeled on the door as an "INCLUSIVE" Men's Restroom. Even though nature was strongly calling...

The Left’s march through Western institutions in the forms of DEI/CRT, “social justice”, and all manner of woo-woo wokeism has consequences. Let’s take schools of medicine for $200, Alex.

Who’s ready for the nation to be covered in rainbows again this year? Apparently Walmart is, as it just released its newest collection for its gay clothing options this pride month.
