    Since the environmentalists are there, then maybe somebody ought to set up some Spotted Owl or Peregrin Falcon nests in strategic places and maybe throw in a few Kangaroo Rats just to sweeten the pot. Make the city a bird sanctuary and clear every human out of the area.

    Seriously though, the only times Los Angeles and Frisco have been cleaned up lately is for foreign dignitaries so if the EPA or whatever Environmental group can get the job done on a permanent scale I’m all for it.

    In addition to suing the city, the Environmental group needs to sue every City Council person, the Mayor, the Reps and Senators in Washington, D.C. and the Governor of California.

    Woke is a joke. How do I know this? Well, I am educated, and that counts for a great deal where I live. It is a silly misusage of a perfectly good word used to define whatever enters the empty heads of those whose vocabulary is bereft of one single sensible thought.

    Actually, I think the word 'woken' would be better English.
    No, I am trying my best to ignore all this craziness, in the hope that things will return to normal when more serious matters take people's attention. While so many idiots allow themselves to be drawn into all this, it's vital that we more rational ones stick to normality.

    The only place that needs to go back to being “normal” is our nation’s capital.
    The one’s occupying seats within our nation’s government are busy pandering to the 1% of society’s oddballs whilst the media makes it look like that same 1% is the “new” norm.

    Contrary to what one might be led to believe, I really think that the other 99% of the population are just trying to get along the best we can and pretty much free from being up close and personal with the train wreck that the politicians and media are so busy pushing.
    Thus far here in N. Alabama, no one has insisted on me calling them any other pronoun than what they are, no guy at my gym has tried to shave in the women’s locker room and I haven’t seen any men with beards wearing dresses and makeup.

    We have our share of flamboyant gays, tatted up shemales and dudes walking around with their pants around their knees but none of those affect my life nor have any bearing on what my daily activities are going to be.
    The stores here aren’t subject to mass shoplifters and from my standpoint, I don’t think the schools have a problem with telling boys to stay out of girl’s bathrooms.

    I think that the one item that will NEVER go back to normal is the immigration problem albeit no one here will call me a racist or xenophobic when I say that the schools and neighborhoods are being flooded with “other than English speaking” people who are here illegally.

    Do Note: At the present time, there are over 4 thousand people in the U.K. who are in jail for writing something near what I just wrote.
    Again, a government defining what can and can’t be said or written in a free society.

    Tractor Supply's internal DEI training documents got leaked. Customers complained. The program got cancelled.

    The Harley Davidson booth at Sturgis had nearly zero visitors because of their "Wokeness" campaign. Sales are down. Those who recently bought bikes are trying to find a way to unload them. They may not recover.

    The latest to be uncovered is Advanced Auto Parts. Training materials got leaked that include race-based hiring practices discriminating against white people and encouraging employees to snitch on fellow workers who don't follow the DEI policies.

    It's sabotage. At least Tractor Supply seems to have done an about-face.

    Here is another “woke”person who is obviously one of the gender challenged ones, trying to get onstage at the Turning Point Rally in Texas this weekend.
    He/she was taken off stage, as Matt Getz asked if that “was Liz Chaney?”
    Where do these people come from , and what happened to their brain ? How did a conservative Democratic Party turn into people like this ?
