The Week in Woke

Last week, a female fencer was kicked out of a tournament and banned from competing for the crime of refusing to fence against a man.

That man has now been kicked off the team.

A transgender fencer, who competed in a USA Fencing-sponsored tournament and was at the center of controversy after an opponent protested against the organization's gender-participation policies, is no longer on the Wagner College women's fencing team.
Wagner College confirmed to Fox News Digital that Redmond Sullivan was off the team more than a week following the controversy at the Cherry Blossom Open in Maryland.
Sullivan is shown to have competed for the Wagner women's team in the foil competition in several meets during the first half of the 2024-25 season. Sullivan participated on the men's team during the 2023-24 season, scoresheets from meets during the season showed.
The NCAA changed its transgender-inclusion policy after President Donald Trump signed the "No Men in Women's Sports" executive order.
"A student-athlete assigned male at birth may not compete on a women's team," the policy read.
...
USA Fencing has since defended its transgender participation policies.

Is sanity awakening?

Sonny Hostin: Voter ID laws are unconstitutional because blacks and women don't have drivers licenses and don't know how to get any form of ID.

In California -- of course -- a school suspended a six-year-old girl for writing the words "All Lives Matter" on a picture of Martin Luther King, Jr., apparently during a Black Lives Matter lesson. The lawyer for the state of California argued that the suspension was legal because the six-year-old had no free speech rights, as she is obviously too young to be "engaging in the marketplace of ideas." Judges hearing the case then noted, gee, if the girl is too young to be engaging in political discussions, you shouldn't have been indoctrinating her with BLM propaganda. Quoth the judge: "Maybe then you don'tgive a Black Lives Matter course to a 1st Grader. Maybe you teach tying shoes."

Megyn Kelly blasted John Oliver for his dishonest attacks on Riley Gaines and Payton McNabb. She levels up to VDH-approved levels of cruelty in noting that of course John Oliver thinks women are just as strong as men, because women are just as strong as him. She invites him to look around at all the men around him who, unlike him, have gone through "normal male puberty."

If you don't want to watch the whole thing, a minute of her invective is here.

27 "A student-athlete assigned male at birth may not compete on a women's team,"

Look, for fucks sake, think of female and male competitive categories the same way you have weight classes in boxing. I don't give two measly fucks about how you "identify". It's like hearing a heavyweight wrestler say he identifies as a flyweight. Not be insulting, but who gives a fuck? You're a big person and wrestle people in your weight class, end of argument. Got an Y chromosome, you compete with the other Y chromosome endowed people.

And lest net forget this in our Week Of Woke (AoSTWoW)...

Here's what the Stupid Bitch did to get fired as commander of the Space Force base in Greenland:

Space Force Col. Susan Meyers, commander of Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, sent out a base-wide email after a visit by Vice President J.D. Vance last month that undermined President Donald Trump’s position on the territory of Greenland as a vital national security interest being mismanaged by Denmark that would do better under the United States, according to a scoop by Military.com reporter Thomas Novelly published Thursday afternoon.

“I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the U.S. administration discussed by Vice President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base,” Meyers wrote in the email, which was communicated to Military.com.

…”I commit that, for as long as I am lucky enough to lead this base, all of our flags will fly proudly — together,” Meyers’ email message to the base read.

Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC), the national association for amateur radio in Canada, has voted to cancel plans to attend and operate a booth at Hamvention in Ohio. The organization cited heightened tensions between Canada and the United States as contributing to its decision.

"The relationship between Canada and the United States has become increasingly strained due to recent trade disputes and tariffs imposed by the US government. Adding to these challenges, controversial remarks from US leaders, including suggestions of Canada becoming the 51st state, have heightened concerns about Canadian sovereignty.

RAC hopes to return to Hamvention in the future."

This makes me just about as sick to the stomach as anything could be. To know that this kind of vile sickness is embedded in brains like hers (and she is far from alone) just confirms something to me I started feeling during the Dog Eater's years. There is an irreparable divide between blacks and other races, namely whites. A huge number of blacks believe death is deserved for whites for any number of reasons. Tell a kid he's in the wrong seat? Death is appropriate. It's terribly sad to realize this is where they are. As I've said since the JEF, I never in a million years really knew just how much black people hate whites. Of course, ymmv on that topic. But it's sad, and it's not going to get better.

"A bombshell report from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) revealed that migrants on the federal government’s “Terrorist Watch List” were able to secure Medicaid after being released into the United States by former President Joe Biden’s administration.

According to DOGE officials, about 6,300 of Biden’s migrants — paroled into the U.S. interior with no immigration status — were either on the Terrorist Watch List or had criminal records and yet were still rewarded work permits and Social Security numbers.

The DOGE report found that 905 of the migrants, including four on the Terrorist Watch List, had been collecting Medicaid benefits totaling $276,000 in American taxpayer dollars. Another 41 were collecting unemployment benefits totaling $42,000.

Similarly, 22 of the migrants received tax refunds in 2024 totaling $751,000 and several more received food stamp benefits."

Back in my prior life when I was a beat cop in the hood, I never asked for a driver's license when I made a traffic stop. I always asked if they had something with their picture and name on it. If they didn't have a driver's license, they'd hand me a State ID card.

This Sonny Hostin chick is such a fraud; she's just another race hustler.

216 27 "A student-athlete assigned male at birth may not compete on a women's team,"

Look, for fucks sake, think of female and male competitive categories the same way you have weight classes in boxing. I don't give two measly fucks about how you "identify". It's like hearing a heavyweight wrestler say he identifies as a flyweight. Not be insulting, but who gives a fuck? You're a big person and wrestle people in your weight class, end of argument. Got an Y chromosome, you compete with the other Y chromosome endowed people.

I had a funny though in traffic the other day to try to prove this point to the parents pushing this sh*t, would be to get a bunch of former NFL players and have them show up at a Peewee football game and identify as kids and then set about wrecking the little kids and throwing them into the stands and so on. Yes, there are consequences for letting people play sports who 'identify' as different things than they actually are. The fact that something this basic and frankly stupid is being debated is a f**king mystery to me.

Sonny Hostin is a racist pig who thinks black people are stupid. Ari Horowitz has a great Youtube video titled "how white liberals really view black voters" where, get this, he interviews a bunch of black people in NYC and asks them if they know where the DMV is, if they have ID, and so on, and every one is like "pssh, yeah, who would think we don't?"
