The Week In Woke

How many illegal aliens did Gavin Newsom give big-rig commercial drivers licenses (CDLs) to? How many Third World Assassins are out there driving thirty ton battering rams with no concern for the western rules of the road and little ability to even read English?

The number, as End Wokeness says, is "jaw-dropping."

Gavin Newsom alone, ignoring prior California governors and all other blue state governors, has granted CDLs to 62,000 Third World Assassins.

The same gang that illegally pulled down statutes of America's founding fathers are freaking out that Trump is remodeling a later addition to the White House.

Will no one do anything about the serious problem of white racism?

John Sexton reports on a sad story. A self-proclaimed pedophile rushed the stage at a Wikipedia conference, wearing a rainbow flag and carrying a gun. He threatened to kill himself on stage.

Sadly, some Wikipedia dweebs rushed him and stopped this pedophile from taking the Hero's Way Out.

From the NYT:

The man, draped in a multicolored flag, walked onto the stage and stood next to Maryana Iskander, the chief of the nonprofit group that runs Wikipedia, interrupting her speech. He announced that he was going to kill himself. He held a gun near his head and pointed it toward the ceiling.
The audience of well over a hundred people panicked.

Sexton:

So what prompted this? Well, the person with the gun, who has since been identified as Connor Weston, had the explanation draped around his neck as he walked on stage. Yet somehow the NY Times describes his motivation as "murky."

The armed man's motivations were murky. But he was wearing a sign around his neck that said "anti-contact non-offending pedophile" and he told the audience he was going to die by suicide to protest what he called Wikipedia's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on pedophiles.
The site has a rule that editors "who identify themselves as pedophiles will be blocked and banned indefinitely."

So murky. So, so murky. Muddy, actually. Our vision is obscured by ten thousand tons of heavy clay mud.

Boy that Rainbow Flag sure does cover up a lot of sins, huh?

The Truman Scholarship Foundation is a taxpayer-supported scholarship fund that is supposed to be non-partisan. Students from all over the country, no matter what their politics, receive the scholarships for doing "public service" work.

But surprise! Most of the students getting these scholarships in red, Republican-heavy states are leftwing extremists who go on to work for Democrats or progressive organizations.

Winners of a prestigious, taxpayer-funded college scholarship selected from Republican-heavy states most often go on to work for progressive causes or Democratic politicians, with few taking jobs that advance pro-GOP or conservative causes, research from The College Fix finds.
Each year, the federally funded Harry S. Truman Scholarship provides a $30,000 grant for grad school to about 50 students with proven leadership potential and a commitment to public service. In return, they pledge to work in a public service role for three years after graduation.
The College Fix analysis shows the left-leaning imbalance in winners cannot be chalked up to a few individual career choices -- the data paints a portrait of systemic ideological filtering within a program funded by all taxpayers but whose outcomes serve the political vision of Democrats.
The Truman Scholarship Foundation seeks regional diversity in its selections, and tries to award its scholarships to students from every state.
The College Fix looked at Truman Scholar winners from Georgia, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio and Utah. These states tend to elect Republican politicians or are considered GOP strongholds. Michigan remains a swing state, voting Republican in two of the last three presidential elections.
Of the states' 125 Truman scholars from 2015 to 2024, 60 winners -- or nearly half of those surveyed at 48 percent -- went on to have at least one job working for left-wing, progressive or Democratic causes. In contrast, only three winners, 2.4 percent, could be found to have gone on to work for a conservative or Republican cause.

Top -- or formerly top -- schools are using "stealth rebranding" to whitewash their DEI discrimination programs, in defiance of the law.

A higher education watchdog group has published a series of investigative reports sounding the alarm on continuing diversity, equity and inclusion practices at some of America's top technology universities: MIT, Georgia Tech, and Caltech.
The three case studies by researchers with the center-right National Association of Scholars focused on what NAS's Director of Science Programs Scott Turner called "the shapeshifting nature of the DEI regime," adding he is surprised at the extent of "the stealth rebranding."
The reports, published this month, found that the universities were "shuffling DEI employees to other administrative units where they can carry out the same program, but hidden away from scrutiny," Turner told The College Fix via email.
The case studies examined how DEI has been embedded in these institutions for decades, and can still be found, albeit in new forms, rebranded and under the radar.
Georgia Tech's case study notes that to get ahead of pending GOP-led legislation that would outlaw DEI, officials preemptively "scrubbed DEI language from its website and 'closed/moved' the LGBTQ+ Resource Center and the Women's Resource Center."
But according to the report: "Not a single DEI administrator was dismissed, however, indicating Georgia Tech's ongoing appeasement of DEI, rather than conforming to law."

A "transgender" powerlifter -- a male cheater who enters women's events -- was barred from competing by the powerlifting sanctioning body.

Tim Walz's gonzo left-wing Supreme Court just overturned that private organization's decision and declared that men are allowed to demolish women in "women's" sports.

The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that a biological male transgender athlete was discriminated against by USA Powerlifting when the organization did not allow that person into a women's competition in 2018.
The decision was unanimous, with five of the seven justices having been appointed by Democratic Gov. Tim Walz, and the other two by former Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton.
USA Powerlifting (USAPL) is a national and international powerlifting organization that sanctions meets in the U.S. and in several other member countries.
The trans athlete, JayCee Cooper, sued USA Powerlifting in 2021, according to Fox News. Cooper alleged the organization engaged in discriminatory practices by rejecting the athlete's application to compete in the women's division in 2018, claiming it violated Minnesota's Human Rights Act.
The court's ruling said, "USA Powerlifting's policy at the time of the decision was to categorically exclude transgender women from competing in the women's division."
"We agree with Cooper that USA Powerlifting's policy is discriminatory on its face; there is therefore no genuine dispute that USA Powerlifting discriminated against Cooper because of her transgender status."

The left's jive against states barring transgenders from entering women's events is that we should leave these decisions to the private local governing bodies.

But when a private local governing bodies bans men from women's sports, they immediately get a government body to step in and overrule them.

The Dearborn City Council continues allowing mosques to break the law and blast the call to prayer as early as five thirty a.m. It has been years since the council claimed it would "check" the decibel level. It never actually checks it. And it's not just the decibel level -- the city law forbids the use of any speakers to blast messages out to the street. You can see the speakers right there on the outside of the mosques, this woman says. But Dearnborn officials will get around to "checking" on this, at some unknown future date.

Dearborn's police chief says it's no big deal and the speakers don't make much more noise than a truck when it hits a pothole. So, because a truck occasionally hits a pothole, and the city doesn't bother fixing the potholes, you should be cool with Muslims blasting their calls to prayer at 5:30 in the morning.

This guy has lived in our country for less than 10 years, yet claims to be as "American as anyone else" while demanding that Arabic be blasted on a speaker in the streets at 5 am. https://t.co/03Mv7qj2gi

People get used to things then they freak out that a 1940 addtion was torn down. When they probably never thought about it anymore than I did as where President Trump greet's little z and other visitors. Apparently the office of Lady Melania and a "caligraphy office" which have been moved.

I don't have the energy to flip out right now about anything. I am in a B12 coma.

TOI World Desk / TIMESOFINDIA.COM / Updated: Oct 24, 2025

"Nalin Haley, son of Nikki Haley, clashed with journalist Mehdi Hasan on immigration as Nalin called for Mehdi Hasan's denaturalization and Hasan reminded Nalin that his grandfather was also an immigrant to the US from India. Nalin suggested that his grandfather never complained about the US, unlike Mehdi Hasan and other ungrateful immigrants, when Hasan cited a page from Nikki Haley's book recounting her struggle in the US because of her foreign origin."

We watched two random movies in the same week of bank robberies where everyone had to wear jumpsuits to "fool" the police. At first we thought we'd seen the movie but it was two of them with similar plots.

143 How much B12 did you take, Christy? That is one of the hardest vitamins to get a toxicity issue with- even at 5,000 mcgs. A typical daily dose is 2.4 mcg, but as you know, taking a blood test every 6 months will let you know if you are deficient. That said, most people over 60 are and would do well to supplement at that 2.4 level unless you are really deficient and then your Dr. will tell you what to take. Your fatigue is interesting, too as normally you get digestive upset and insomnia from too much B12. Fatigue can happen but it’s pretty rare. Are you sure that is the issue? I am crossing my fingers it’s not something else because b12 is definitely one of the easiest things to flush out. You aren’t allowed to get sick!

145 eez. What do you think of Chesterton's Fence? You are reminding me of a guy who spent a couple hours one night deriding Chestertons Fence like it fired him and slept with his wife.

Same as I do about Sun Tzu. Makes some here get a thrill down the leg - quoting that line about "if there is a fence".

Except all you're fucking doing now is trying to push down the recently erected fences. Deportations ? Well - we never did that before en masse like this. And the Lefts arguments against it is - largely - we never did this before.

Chesterton also wrote as if he would always be in charge. And those that love him write as if they just assumed they would always be in charge.

Turns out ? He wasn't always in charge.

I don't think I've ever heard one outside of a movie or TV show.

Even then, they ring once a week on Sunday or some special occasion every now and then.

That's a big difference from a call to prayer over loudspeakers five times a day, seven days a week.

172 143 How much B12 did you take, Christy? That is one of the hardest vitamins to get a toxicity issue with- even at 5,000 mcgs. A typical daily dose is 2.4 mcg, but as you know, taking a blood test every 6 months will let you know if you are deficient. That said, most people over 60 are and would do well to supplement at that 2.4 level unless you are really deficient and then your Dr. will tell you what to take. Your fatigue is interesting, too as normally you get digestive upset and insomnia from too much B12. Fatigue can happen but it’s pretty rare. Are you sure that is the issue? I am crossing my fingers it’s not something else because b12 is definitely one of the easiest things to flush out. You aren’t allowed to get sick!

I have insomnia and fatigue. 1000mg daily for months as nitwit. I figured I needed it because olde people don't absorb it. I guess I do in a big way (it was not super toxic but over what is normal). whee!

I ain't sick, just tired. And hoping it is the cure for months of rampant insomnia leading to stress. About six weeks worth of stress, but not major, just continuous. Good and bad stress.

Pedos make the same arguments the rest of the alphabet people do. They were born this way. Love is love. And on and on

Now, one certainly could argue that being born this way, even if it was true doesn't matter. And some forms of 'love' are in fact not love but disgusting perversion but...the Alphabet folks in general have spent the last 20 years taking a maximalist position that in fact says the pedos are no different then the rest of them.

That's a great B5 episode, though not sure how it applies here. In B5, the Inquisitor was sent by the Vorlons to verify that the right people were in the right place for the right reasons. Although the Inquisitor took it a bit far, he did his job and did it well.
