President-elect Donald Trump poses a serious threat to the woke bureaucrats and their left-wing allies who have injected their ideology into the administrative state, but these activists won’t be giving up easily. As Trump staffs up for a second term, the bureaucrats have hatched at least three strategies to oppose him: returning to the left-wing nonprofit sphere to act as a government-in-waiting; passing new regulations to cement their ideology into the rules before Trump can reverse them; and burrowing into the bureaucracy to oppose him from within, the same way…

AmeriCorps, an independent federal agency that provides stipends for more than 5 million Americans who do volunteer work, misled the public on how much it spends in its grant program. A program launched under President George H.W. Bush, AmeriCorps was expanded under President Bill Clinton and officially became a corps under Bush’s son, President George W. Bush. Today, though, it appears to have become rotten to the core. The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project recently obtained information showing that AmeriCorps, which received $ 1.1 billion last year in congressional appropriations, purposely misled Americans…

The College Board has backed down to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and now will revise its national Advanced Placement course in African American studies. This happened following a week in which left-wing media went apoplectic, unleashing a torrent of bad press portraying the Republican governor as a dangerous fanatic and insinuating that he’s racist. One MSNBC columnist called DeSantis’ objections to the course an attack on “free thought,” as if the Left cares about such a concept when its adherents have power. A Florida state representative wrote on Twitter that…

Did you know that Superman’s son is bisexual? So is Batman’s sidekick, Robin, and lots of other superheroes created by Marvel and DC Comics. The author of the bisexual Superman story says gay people write to say they “burst into tears” when they saw that the characters had become gay. While it’s nice to make LGBTQ+ people feel more welcome in the world, not everyone is happy. They became bisexual “out of nowhere!” complains comic creator Eric July in my new video. “They make it seem as if the only…

Conservative states have a warning for corporations that have “gone woke”: The consequences of political activism are no longer one-sided. This month, West Virginia declared it would no longer do business with five Wall Street banks over the companies’ anti-coal or anti-fossil fuel policies. “You have your right to be able to boycott the fossil fuel industry, but we’re not going to do business with you. We’re not going to pay for our own destruction,” State Treasurer Riley Moore said. “They’ve weaponized tax dollars against the very people and industries that…

Years before Donald Trump became president, legacy media was already moving in a woke direction. While no doubt some reporters are ideological, the trend was influenced by the growing prominence of the internet. Online, articles that generated an emotional response became income generators, because they led to readers spending a longer time interacting with the article. In 2017, the New York Times launched a program called Project Feels to track how younger readers responded emotionally to certain articles. “What they found was the more emotional the reader was, the longer…
