'It's far more serious': Kemi Badenoch issues stern warning over the ... (Daily Express)

CONSERVATIVE leadership candidate Kemi Badenoch has issued a stark warning over using the phrase 'war on woke' to describe political policy.

The former Conservative leadership candidate had progressed well in the contest, gaining significant support from her colleagues, until she was eliminated in the fourth round of voting among Tory MPs. During both her leadership and her time as Minister for Equalities, Ms Badenoch was praised for her so-called "anti-woke" policy stance. The phrase "war on woke" has emerged to describe the new Conservative policy that has arisen in opposition to "woke" political activism. K emi Badenoch warned against trivialising important political policy by using the term "war on woke" to describe Conservative campaigns.

'I want to be able to say thank you for my success in this country, and I owe it to the country. 'They have demonized the founding fathers now,' wrote another recent visitor to Monticello. 'Same thing with Madison's home. 'They flew the struggling CEOs into Washington, wined them and dined them, and got them just as hooked on free money as the crack cocaine that enterprising drug dealers were just then bringing to America's Lower 48. Lewis wrote that the scam 'grew out of a brief, curious tax loophole that permitted Alaskan companies owned by Eskimos to sell their losses for hard cash to other American corporations. 'They have demonized the founding fathers now,' wrote another recent visitor to Monticello. 'Same thing with Madison's home. I wouldn’t give a dollar to the organization.

How British Efforts To Enforce Equality Have Led To A Woke ... (Eurasia Review)

These pieces of anti-discrimination legislation assumes that the state can determine the intentions of an employer. There are many reasons why an employer may ...

These roles have caused inefficiencies within each industry, taking money and resources away from what needs to be done in order to pour it down the endless drain of bureaucracy. Instead of prioritising the women who need treatment, there is pressure for the NHS to prioritize wokeness. Furthermore, there are currently twenty known diversity officers within the Ministry of Defence. One director of diversity and inclusion receives a salary of £110,000 a year. This has made the UK lead in the world of diversity and inclusion roles. Over the past decades, those who believe that equality of outcome must be due to discrimination has come to the mainstream. Not only does this encourage companies to hire with equality of outcome in mind, but this egalitarian legislation has led to an increase in diversity and inclusion officers.

'Woke' billionaire who trashed the Founding Fathers has profited off ... (New York Post)

Billionaire David Rubenstein has given millions to entities that repair and upgrade historical monuments.

“Rubenstein has a long record of trying to depict himself as a patron of arts and culture to distract from his dangerous record,” the editorial said. Alice Rogoff did not respond to a call from The Post. A friend of hers in Alaska who is an attorney told The Post he did not know if she had legal representation. “(The Carlyle Group) is a firm that fuels the climate crisis, pollutes and victimizes poor and vulnerable communities, and profits off it all.” “The people who structured the fund to begin with were wise,” Suzanne Downing, a former speechwriter for Gov. Parnell who now runs the news site Must Read Alaska, told The Post. “They specifically designed it to keep it out of the hands of politicians and special interests. Alice Rogoff was the key person behind getting Walker into power and getting that shift made to the fund.” People in Washington DC and New York look at us like a bunch of rubes and hillbillies.” The partners took 1% of the transaction for themselves and juiced a billion dollars of losses through the system.” In the early aughts, the Carlyle Group was also the subject of myriad conspiracy theories, many of which revolved around its close relationship with the Bush family, the Saudis and the military-industrial complex. “Huge cash reserves and assets” in the fund could be used as leverage to borrow more money, she wrote. All of a sudden there was a business in matching up profitable American corporations with Eskimos. Rubenstein and Norris spotted the window of opportunity and jumped through.” And I’m doing it in a way that’s designed to draw attention to [American] history and heritage.” In 1987, Rubenstein and his Carlyle Group co-founder Stephen L. Norris got the bulk of their initial capital from some unwitting native Alaskans who owned floundering oil and timber companies.

Is LetsGetFr.ee the Ultimate Woke Fail? - Hollywood in Toto (Hollywood in Toto)

The music festival vowed a “radical movement designed for & by Black, Brown, Asian/Pacific Islander, & LGBTQIA+ fr.ee spirits & creator.” ...

Disheartened ticket buyers railed against the festival online and worried about getting their refunds in a timely manner. This year’s LetsGetFr.ee implosion may prevent fans from giving the festival a second chance. The festival’s Twitter account has a measly 410 followers, and the post announcing the cancellation doesn’t allow for replies, either. The Daily Beast talked to disgruntled ticket buyers and compared the event’s collapse to the infamous Fyre Festival. That event, captured in not one but two feature documentaries, set the standard for festival crash-and-burns. How a weekend of wristbands and portable toilets was supposed to do that is unclear, as is the festival’s abrupt cancelation that’s now left hundreds of ticket holders scrambling for refunds that are unlikely to arrive until mid-September. Is LetsGetFr.ee the Ultimate Woke Fail?

Ethan Peck on 'Managerial Class' Behind Woke Takeover of ... (The Epoch Times)

The driving force behind such trend were powerful mega-funds seeking to entrench their regime, according to Ethan Peck ofFree Enterprise Project.

“They go to the boards, and then they come back to government, and then go to the boards, and then go between companies. Peck said this could explain the “consistency” among woke companies. Why were they defending Apple and Nike, even when there was bipartisan support for the Act? Because you have the board members support each other.” They’re the ones that basically have the voting power to put board members onto boards,” Peck said. “[The Big Three] are voting on behalf of their clients who invest in them,” Peck said. It just empowers the boards to basically take voting powers and rights from the shareholders.”

"Learn more about the after-school activities your kids are involved in. "Make sure you know what apps and services your children are using, and regularly check to make sure their posts are safe and age-appropriate." Prior to that, she joined over 30 Senate colleagues — in April 2021 — to express concern about the Dept. of Education's proposal to "offer federal funding to support the teaching of radical and divisive curriculum like Critical Race Theory." On the latter point, Sen. Blackburn says she "believes in equality and opportunity for all." "Contact your local school boards, show up to meetings and make your voice heard. "As children start logging on to do homework, it's important to kickstart the conversation on tech safety." "Attend parent meetings and find more ways to get involved in your child's extracurricular activities." "Ask coaches and school administrators about what they're doing to protect sports for biological girls." The senator told Fox News Digital, "While radical teachers' unions are doing their best to push parents away, this guide empowers moms and dads with the tools they need to keep their children close." She's compiled "important tips on how to protect kids" on such issues as "dangerous drugs, online predators and woke curriculum." Moms and dads need to be ready for that," she said. "When students head back to school this fall, they will encounter more than the usual list of challenges children and teens face," she told Fox News Digital in an email.

A disabled trans activist and author was canceled by a super woke mob after their job at defense contractor Lockheed Martin was revealed by a Twitter user.

Another person in response to the original doxer: 'I'm genuinely puzzled - do you honestly think that working for a company means someone approves of everything that company does? The pair live together in Texas with their five cats. They concluded: 'I stay because I'm on an unusual part-time arrangement for medical reasons. Back in 2014, Lockheed was a founding member of the Disability Equality Index, an organization that campaigns for disabled persons inclusivity in the work place.
