In a stunning and unprecedented move, President Donald Trump has fired the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest-ranking military officers in the United States, following allegations of a plot to undermine his authority. The dramatic shakeup, announced late Friday night, February 21, 2025, stems from a controversial video released by investigative journalist James O’Keefe on January 15, 2025, which purportedly exposed a high-level Pentagon official discussing secret meetings to defy and potentially overthrow Trump if he issued orders deemed controversial by military leadership. The firings have ignited...

America has more than one "lost" generation of white men When I read Jacob Savage’s widely praised essay on “the lost generation” of young white men in America—a generation of men who, like himself, have lost out on prestigious jobs in media and academia for no reason other than the lightness of their skin and the equipment dangling between their legs—I couldn’t help but feel a tinge of recognition. More than a tinge, actually.You see, between 2015 and 2018, I was a DPhil student at the University of Oxford. My research was on the Reformation in England, the great schism...

My 11-year-old son joined the elementary school band, and so I went to the parents’ orientation night held at a local high-school. As the night went on it became obvious why young men rage against the larger social system and why they might find a character like Nick Fuentes attractive. The classrooms were inundated with DEI messages and trans pride flags. On the walls there were posters, stickers and decorations that all invoked the various totems of diversity. Black Lives Matter messaging, decolonization messaging, LGBTQ+ messaging and basically every sort of race and gender social justice messaging you can imagine...

In another shocking case out of Sweden, Swedish girl Meya Åberg was assaulted and raped by African migrant Yazied Mohamed while on her way home from work at McDonald’s in Skellefteå when she was only 16 years old. However, despite the migrant being sentenced to prison, he will escape deportation, with the four judges out of a five-judge panel citing his belief that the rape did not last long enough to merit deportation. In fact, after the rape, the victim was confronted with seeing her rapist, Mohamed, at school, at work, and around the town she lived in, showing just...

For years, Starbucks has been circling the "go woke, go broke" drain, and they've been trying to reverse course: ending their open bathrooms policy, going back to plastic straws, and even reportedly disallowing pride decorations. They've tried everything short of not burning their beans or lowering the price of their drinks to lure back the other half of the country they spurned and have only managed to upset the folks still going to Starbucks. Now according to CNN, Starbucks has announced massive layoffs and store closures. Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol announced Thursday that Starbucks will close hundreds of stores this...

Disney finally admitted what we all knew...they drove men away. Now they want us back. Sorry Mouseketeers it's too late for that! From Star Wars to ESPN, they spent years mocking men, turning heroes into failures, and lecturing their own audience about “toxic masculinity.” The result? Empty theaters. Disney+ bleeding subscribers. ESPN reduced to a feminist pep rally. And now the company is begging for the very men they said were irrelevant. But here’s the truth: once men are gone, they’re gone. No amount of reboots, apologies, or desperate spin can bring them back. Disney chose to lose men —...

Has restaurant chain Cracker Barrel gone woke? The signs point to that conclusion after the company announced its latest rebranding effort.On Tuesday, USA Today reported, Cracker Barrel plans to shed its recognizable logo — which it’s had since 1977 — featuring a man sitting in a chair leaning on a barrel next to the restaurant’s name.

All of it is Queer"We are so back" is a current meme indicating how some part of "woke" culture has been pushed back, but even the most anti-woke conservatives stand defenseless against gay culture.One of my favorite homosexuals of all time was Justin Raimondo, founder of Antiwar.com and author of the 2008 book Reclaiming the American Right, who once said that the best thing about being homosexual was all the sneaking around. That was when there was a closet; ahh, the closet. Most people in those days knew who was “that way,” who was “light in the loafers.” But they...

The classic rock group known as the Steve Miller Band has announced that they are canceling all remaining dates on their current tour because of the weather, or more specifically, the ‘extreme’ weather conditions brought about by climate change. Rock and roll just isn’t what it used to be, apparently. The group made the announcement on Twitter/X. Variety reports:

WASHINGTON (AP) — As transgender service members face a deadline to leave the U.S. military, hundreds are taking the financial bonus to depart voluntarily. But others say they will stay and fight.For many, it is a wrenching decision to end a career they love, and leave units they have led or worked with for years. And they are angry they are being forced out by the Trump administration’s renewed ban on transgender troops.Active duty service members had until Friday to identify themselves and begin to leave the military voluntarily, while the National Guard and Reserve have until July 7. Then...

A Lewis and Clark statue featuring Sacagawea (also spelled Sacajawea), a famous Native American woman, was taken down in Charlottesville, Virginia, making it the third statue to be taken down in the city. The statue is of two White men – Meriwether Lewis and William Clark – and Sacagawea, who was depicted tracking, according to historians. Those against the statue have said Sacagawea appears to be cowering, according to The Daily Progress newspaper. “It was a very offensive statue, and not only did it delineate me as a Native American, it delineated our women and their role in society,” said...

Progressive ideas around race, gender, and immigration are under scrutiny by both the Republican-controlled federal government and Democrats chastened by the loss of the 2024 election. In this modern context, it’s easy to forget how persuasive these ideas once were. In 1995, just 25 percent of Democrats identified as liberal, while 46 called themselves moderate. Twenty years later, a sea change in public opinion had happened: In 2015, 45 percent of Democrats called themselves liberals. Two political scientists and a researcher found that from 2011 to 2020 the attitudes of Democrats and independents became notably more liberal on racial inequality...

In the plummy world of alumni relations, where distinguished graduates are awarded honorary degrees and major donors are fêted at the president’s mansion, it is virtually unheard of for former students to set up shop as a political counterweight to the university, challenging its modes of governance and day-to-day operations Alarmed by academia’s dominant ideological ethos of social justice activism – particularly the holy trinity of race, sex, and gender – more than two dozen dissident groups have emerged seeking to rebalance the culture at leading public and private universities across the country, including Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, UCLA,...

You know the left was in a panic when members of the ‘separation of church and state’ party start insisting that their policies were supported by scripture. That was the case during the Monday episode of ABC News’s The View as staunchly racist Sunny Hostin shouted about how opposing the racist poison of the left’s “woke” ideology was “ungodly” and “not Christian.” Moderator Whoopi Goldberg also chimed in to claim wokeness would “make you a better person.”

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Laura Coates Live,” Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) said Gen. CQ Brown was removed as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff due to his race and responded to pushback that other officials who are white were dismissed by stating that Brown got called “woke” and “DEI” and “they are substituting these acronyms for the n-word. So, why would you apply the term woke to Gen. Brown? What does that mean?”Clyburn began by saying,” I believe that everybody knows what an outstanding soldier Gen. Brown is and has been, for many, many years. He has a...

Playboy is reportedly returning to its roots after going through a failed woke rebrand that included pop star Lizzo on a centerfold, a transgender Playmate, and a ban on nudity. After a five-year hiatus, the magazine was relaunched this month with a new issue including a fully nude centerfold featuring Guess model Gillian Nation — a fit, biological female — who has been crowned Playboy‘s 2025 Playmate of the Year, according to a report by Daily Mail. Nation was born and raised in rural Montana, and her photos include shots of her outdoors on a farm, featuring cowgirl vibes. In...

A former U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) director appeared Wednesday on Fox News to reveal details on what he said were the agency’s misused resources and deeply rooted corruption. Dating back to the early days of the Trump administration, former director Mark Moyar, who took office in Feb. 2018, recounted, on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” what he said was an agency culture steeped in inefficiency and malpractice, starting with an unconventional orientation exercise that labeled him as a Scandinavian woman in a “privilege walk.” This exercise, meant to highlight systemic privileges and disadvantages, instead served as a prelude to the...

Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that President Donald Trump’s press Secretary got her job because of “wokeness.” Goldberg said, “I would like her to do a little homework because she said something yesterday that really pissed me off. And that was she said, ‘There will be no wokeness here.’ Let me explain something to you, because without that wokeness, you might not have that job because women were not invited to that table. Women were not invited to many tables in this nation.”

Before it was seemingly scrubbed, the minor included classes like ‘Topics in Gender History’ and ‘Social Inequality.’. West Point was sued in November over its efforts to allegedly hide its DEI programs.. ... The United States Military Academy at West Point in New York appears to have ended its “Diversity and Inclusion Studies” minor. “West Point has ended its ‘Diversity and Inclusion Studies’ minor,” wrote former Department of Education Press and current spokesperson from the Defense of Freedom Institute Angela Morabito in a Wednesday X post. Morabito, a former fellow at Campus Reform, posted side-by-side pictures of the West Point...
