US Carries Out Another Strike on Houthis in Yemen

Welcome to Woke of the Weak‚ where I’ll update you about the most woke‚ progressive‚ insane‚ and crazy clips and stories that the left thinks are tolerable and well‚ point out why exactly they’re nuts.  This week we started out by watching a video taken at Abilene Christian University in Texas. Despite the fact that the school supposedly bases itself on Christian values‚ students were learning that there are more than two genders‚ that transgenderism is normal‚ and that sex and gender are not the same. If the school keeps this up‚ I think it should get rid of the word "Christian" in its name! Next up‚ we saw a man with braids and butterfly barrettes explain that “gorgeous girls have beards.” While you may think he’s nuts‚ you'd better keep that thought to yourself‚ since the next user insisted that anyone who disagrees with transgender ideology should be slapped.  While I don’t think that disagreeing with delusion merits a slap‚ I do think some people do need some sense knocked into them. Especially the next individual who explained - using a banana‚ cherries‚ whipped cream‚ string and a squash - how doctors plan to turn his male genitalia into something that resembles a female's.  After that clip I prayed for some bleach to wash my eyes out. I did the same when the next clip of a performer stripping to his (?) undies and dancing in front of little kids popped up. Someone should call CPS!  While we’re talking about grooming‚ the next video featured a gay teacher talking about how he’d help kids who were part of the LGBTQ mob stay on track with their confusion and that he loves teaching kids how to “sissy walk.” If you don’t know what a “sissy walk” is‚ keep watching to see Dylan Mulvaney prance around and talk about how a man asked for his cellphone number.  We were shocked‚ too - but not as shocked as the last clip where...well‚ honestly‚ just watch for yourself.   Related: The Left’s Fantasy World: Eating Flesh‚ Dating Fake Ladies &; Grooming Kids Follow us on Twitter/X: Pro-Palestine protest stops by a cancer center to boycott the center for "being complicit" in the Israel-Palestine war. pic.twitter.com/FLu3XHTN39 — MRCTV (@mrctv) January 16‚ 2024

A college that has received substantial funds from leftist billionaire George Soros suggested tech companies‚ particularly artificial intelligence‚ aren’t censoring enough speech. Bard College‚ which has received over a billion dollars in donations and endowment pledge from Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF)‚ published a Jan. 13 post on combating artificial intelligence (AI)-generated “disinformation‚” the favorite leftist catchphrase to justify censorship. While seeming to approve of some aspects of X’s (formerly Twitter) Community Notes fact-checking program‚ the college also promoted Financial Times tech correspondent Hannah Murphy’s assertions that Big Tech isn’t doing enough to quash free speech. “In a long essay on the dangers and challenges of AI generated disinformation‚ Hannah Murphy pretty much gives up‚” Bard gloomily noted. “She ends her essay arguing that there may simply be no way to combat such advanced disinformation.” Bard noted that Murphy accused some social media‚ notably X‚ of not crushing speech enough. X and Telegram have more “disinformation” now‚ argued Murphy and Bard‚ “because [perpetrators] know that the legacy platforms are putting resources into” censorship. X does have Community Notes‚ which add labels to and then demonetizes posts. Community Notes is censorship under another name‚ so it’s no surprise that anti-free speech Bard seemed undetermined on whether to critique or praise them. X’s Community Notes uses the open source pol.is software‚ Bard explained. It added‚ “We featured pol.is software at the 2022 Hannah Arendt Center Conference” talk by the pol.is founder. Bard also cited technology researcher Carl Miller‚ who argued that Community Notes’ crowdsourcing could be a plus: “Twitter made the crucial decision to surface notes not by simply selecting the most popular‚ but those that win the broadest consensus…[Polis] is among the few examples of technologies shown to coax agreement out of online debate.” Leftist‚ anti-free speech billionaire Soros has certainly rewarded Bard for such problematic comments in the past. MRC Business previously highlighted the fact that Soros gave Bard College over $500 million in donations and pledged between 2016 and 2021. In 2022‚ Soros’s OSF gave Bard no fewer than 13 separate grants‚ for a total of over $610.8 million. Altogether‚ Bard has received over a billion dollars from Soros. Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency and an equal footing for conservatives.

Reacting to Monday’s results in the low-turnout Iowa caucuses‚ Tuesday’s CBS Mornings opened its second hour by demanding 2024 GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley to not only drop out‚ but harangue her with the usual issues that only the liberal media cared about as opposed to‚ you know‚ real Americans: the 2020 election and demanding Republicans say Donald Trump was “unfit” to return as president. Ever-pious‚ fill-in co-host John Dickerson climbed aboard his high horse by first fretting Iowans voted for Trump in a blowout “despite all his legal challenges and what some call his extreme rhetoric.” Dickerson then turned his guns to Haley as she appeared live in New Hampshire: “Ambassador‚ all good presidents are tested by adversity. You have some. Why is this race not over?”     Haley noted “We’re just getting started” and votes in two more‚ totally different states in New Hampshire and South Carolina were up next on her docket for what’s actually “a marathon‚” “not a sprint.” Dickerson came off like the entire interview was a waste of his brain cells based on this ho-hum follow-up: “Anything you're going to do differently‚ Ambassador?” After Haley said she’s “a stone’s throw away from – from Trump” in the Granite State‚ Dickerson interjected to argue “30 points in Iowa is – is more than a stone's throw.” Haley‚ to her credit‚ corrected him. Having cried uncle‚ Dickerson returned to his pompous historian schtick and lectured Haley about how she and other Republicans were suffering from some physiological “obstacle” in being unable to say Trump’s “unfit to be president.” Since she hadn’t said it (or‚ put simply‚ the way the liberal media want Republicans to)‚ he called on her to quit the race (click “expand”): DICKERSON: Campaigns are job interviews. And so‚ that makes you both a candidate and a job reference for the front-runner. You watched him up close. Many who also did – who watched Donald Trump up close say he's unfit to be president. You won't say that. And it appears that you can't‚ and I wonder if this is an obstacle for you and your party because if you were to say that‚ any that you would identify as a character flaw in Donald Trump would be seen by Republicans voters as a compliment. If you can't say as someone who watched him up close that he’s unfit to be president‚ why shouldn't the voters pick the guy with more experience? HALEY: I mean‚ John‚ if you listened to my speech last night‚ I basically said that no one wants to go back to the same old thing that we’ve always had. 70 percent of Americans don't want to see Trump or Biden. The majority of Americans disprove [sic] of both of them. Both have put our kids in trillions of dollars in debt we're never going to be forgiven for. So‚ look‚ I have said both are caught up in the grievances and investigations. And Americans want to move forward with a new generational leader. You guys want me to hate Trump. Some people want me to love Trump. I don't love him or hate him. I call it out like I see it. And‚ when I see something‚ I say it. I said‚ I don't think he needs to be the next president. I’m going to be the next president. We should leave the chaos of the past and we move forward with the solutions to the future. Dickerson asked again‚ but Haley reiterated she believes “chaos follows” Trump “[a]nd we can't have a country in disarray and have a world on fire and go through four more years of chaos.” Co-host and Democratic donor Gayle King entered the chat with another rallying cry of the liberal media: using the 2020 election to ostracize Republicans: How do you convince some of Trump’s voters to vote for you. It’s interesting. The latest poll shows‚ yesterday‚ 65 percent of the caucus voters still do not believe that Joe Biden legitimately won this election. How do you combat it when people just don't believe the facts? That‚ no matter what you say‚ no matter what you say‚ no matter what you do‚ he appears‚ in many respects‚ to be untouchable. How do you sway his voters to say‚ “over here‚ guys‚ please listen to what we're saying”? Haley went on and on about telling voters “the truth” and “hard truth” because “[t]hat’s what people want”‚ but King doubled down: “I'm wondering – governor – I’m wondering‚ governor‚ do they really want the truth? Honestly – honestly‚ I'm wondering do they want the truth because you give them the truth but they still say nope‚ nope‚ nope‚ it's not legit.” Haley doubled down‚ adding she instead speaks “the truth about the things they care about” (instead of the media) like the economy and immigration since “[n]obody’s talking about the election of 2020.” King zoomed out with a Taylor Swift reference for her penultimate question (with the last one being about how her family’s doing amid the rampant ups and downs of campaigning): “So‚ are you like a Taylor Swift song‚ Shake It Off‚ keep going?...Is your messaging – are you going to do anything you're going to do differently in New Hampshire that you didn’t do in Iowa?” To see the relevant transcript from January 16‚ click here.

A pair of adolescents were caught on camera vandalizing a Scottsdale‚ Arizona‚ charter school by hammering the building with rocks for more than an hour.BASIS Scottsdale‚ a charter school for students in fifth grade to 12th grade‚ saw its third case of mass vandalism in the last year.School staff arrived on a Monday morning to see that nearly 30 windows were smashed or damaged on campus. Two young boys were pictured on surveillance cameras using rocks to break glass inside and outside the building‚ destroying windows in the gymnasium‚ front lobby‚ a staff office‚ and at least eight classrooms‚ ABC 15 Arizona reported.School officials told reporters that the two boys spent 90 minutes going around the school to break windows and spent more than 10 minutes to get through sections of glass in some instances. Most of the damage was inflicted on the lower-level windows of the building.The children allegedly hid from cars as they passed by‚ as well. The alleged young vandals eventually fled the scene on a pair of e-bikes."Yeah‚ it's really‚ it's beyond a … it's a frustration‚" said Head of School Tyler Garvey.Garvey said that he thinks it was the same two minors who vandalized the school in December 2022 during winter break‚ and another time during spring break 2023."We believe it's the same two students‚ two kids that have done this. We don't have them as students at our school‚ so we're also going to be working with the local middle schools and elementary schools and sharing those pictures to see if their staff can recognize them‚" Garvey added.No arrests have been made‚ police reportedly stated‚ but an investigation is ongoing with surveillance video being examined. Police also took pictures of the crime scene and even searched for fingerprints.A cleanup crew said that due to having to order and install new windows‚ the restoration project could take four weeks or longer.Older students have been assigned to online classes to make room for the younger students to use undamaged classrooms.School officials were hopeful that the suspects would be found on this third occasion‚ given that they were able to provide video surveillance of the crimes while they were in progress.Like Blaze News?

New York City Democratic Mayor Eric Adams recently moved forward with a plan to impose a curfew on several migrant centers after local residents complained about door-to-door begging at all hours of the day and night‚ the New York Post reported.Community members have referred to the increase in migrants as an “invasion‚” pleading with city officials to do something about the rampant panhandling occurring in neighborhoods around the shelters. Migrants have been knocking on doors day and night asking for food‚ money‚ and clothing‚ according to residents. New Yorkers living near larger tent cities‚ such as the Floyd Bennett Field shelter located in a remote area on the outskirts of Brooklyn‚ have especially reported a rise in panhandling. Residents called the migrant takeover “alarming” and stated many locals are “on edge‚” the Post reported. Randall’s Island‚ another large tent city‚ was the scene of a fatal stabbing earlier this month.Beginning on Tuesday‚ migrants sheltering at four respite centers — two in Queens‚ one in Brooklyn‚ and another in Manhattan — must check in each night by 11 p.m. The curfew lifts at 6 a.m. each morning. The restrictions are similar to those imposed on other homeless shelters in the city.Migrants residing in the shelters who need to leave during curfew hours to go to work‚ school‚ and legal and medical appointments may do so by applying for a permit ahead of time‚ City Hall officials explained. Those who violate the restrictions three times within 30 days may be forced to leave the shelters.Councilwoman Joann Ariola stated that the city’s decision to implement a curfew is “only the first step‚” calling for an end to the city’s “right-to-shelter” status.“I’m certainly glad to see these curfews finally being put into place‚ but they should have been mandated from the beginning‚” Ariola stated. “While I applaud the city for coming to its senses on the curfew issue‚ I believe this is only the first step. We still need to end our status as a right-to-shelter city‚ stop the flow of asylum-seekers into the five boroughs‚ and finally get rid of the tent cities and [Humanitarian Emergency Response Relief Centers] that are draining our city’s coffers and gobbling up billions of taxpayer dollars.”Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul announced Tuesday the state’s 2025 fiscal year budget plan‚ totaling $233 billion‚ the Post reported. The plan adds $500 million to New York City’s migrant crisis funding. The new budget also allocates $40 million to address retail theft‚ $3.8 million for flood resiliency‚ $10 million to combat hate crimes‚ and $100 million to cover campaign financing.Like Blaze News?

Conservatives across the nation are groaning when they look at Mitch McConnell‚ James Lankford‚ and Chuck Schumer's new border deal‚ which is currently in the Senate. Instead of making moves toward mitigating illegal immigration‚ these pretend Republicans have proposed the following: How more amnesty‚ funding‚ and work permits for illegal aliens solves one of our nation’s biggest crises is beyond Dave Rubin. “DeSantis is absolutely right – the Democrats blow‚ but the Republicans suck‚” he quotes‚ hoping the rest of the nation will observe the leaps and bounds of progress Florida has made under Governor Ron DeSantis. “Florida is now a deeply‚ deeply red state that is functional‚ and it's paying off its debt and has no income tax and is sane‚ and we don't have homeless problems and drug problems ... We protect the First Amendment and the Second Amendment‚” he praises. “Maybe we can blueprint that throughout the country.” For that to happen‚ however‚ the Schumer-Lankfort Border Deal‚ which is undoubtedly a complete betrayal of Republican voters‚ would need to be shut down. To hear more about this new disastrous border deal‚ watch the clip below.

Plutocrats and technocrats flocked to Davos this week for the World Economic Forum's yearly meeting of the minders. While the resort town quickly filled up with people who frequently talk about changing the world‚ one individual who has made good on his threats was noticeably missing: South African billionaire Elon Musk. Musk suggested last month that he declined the invitation to go "not because [he] thought they were engaged in diabolical scheming‚ but because it sounded boring af lol." However‚ Yann Zopf‚ a spokesman for the WEF‚ suggested Musk hadn't been invited‚ telling the Associated Press the last time the Tesla CEO received an invite was "not this year and not recently — last time in 2015." Comfortable in their Swiss safe place and assured of Musk's absence‚ so-called elites wasted no time lashing out at the tech tycoon and his liberated social media platform. Naomi Oreskes‚ a Harvard professor who supposedly specializes in the history of climate change "disinformation‚" exhausted carbon complaining to Italian-Swiss physicist and university rector Luciana Vaccaro about Musk's X. "For a long time I was on Twitter and now it's become such a toxic place that I've concluded it's not a worthwhile place to spend time‚" said Oreskes. "I have given up on X. What a scary name that even is‚ right?" Musk later commented‚ "X is literally just a letter from the alphabet lmao." Independent journalist Rukshan Fernando noted that contrary to the Harvard professor's claim that she gave up on X‚ she "kept coming back." On Aug. 19‚ 2023‚ Oreskes wrote‚ "Hi all. I have decided‚ like many others‚ to leave twitter. It's sad to have to rebuild all that we have built here‚ but @elonmusk has already dismantled what was good about this network." Oreskes' self-imposed exile lasted all of a month. She returned on Sept. 27‚ then proceeded to post semi-regularly for several more weeks. Vaccaro agreed with Oreskes Monday‚ saying X is a "toxic environment. ... I have no solution on that‚ but I think one day it will come the moment of the code of conduct in this place because journalists — if you spread crazy news and insults and if a journalist writes these things‚ it can be amended." Vaccaro intimated that troublesome voices have "such big power" on social media because it's still relatively new but suggested "there will be a societal reflection on how information is brought there. Of course on X‚ now there is also the policy of the owner that is problematic‚ but I think this is a problem of the society of the future." Musk‚ who has helped to expose his platform's previous work with governmental forces to suppress speech‚ responded on X with a laughing emoji. — (@) It appears that Oreskes and Vaccaro's dislike for the free flow of information on X and elsewhere online is common to other academics‚ politicians‚ and bureaucrats associated with the WEF. Blaze News previously reported that the WEF ranked "misinformation and disinformation" and bad weather as the greatest threats facing humanity in its Global Risks Report 2024. The report defines misinformation and disinformation as "persistent false information (deliberate or otherwise) widely spread through media networks‚ shifting public opinion in a significant way towards distrust in facts and authority." Musk responded to the report last week‚ writing‚ "By 'misinformation'‚ WEF means anything that conflicts with its agenda." The billionaire's conflicts with this "agenda" appear to have made him a target. The European Union announced last month that it had launched an investigation into Musk's X for allegedly disseminating "illegal content and disinformation." Like Blaze News?

Democrats and the media are downplaying the significance of Donald Trump's Iowa caucuses victory to cope with his political resurgence.Trump's historic landslide victory was unorthodox. He did not participate in any of the Republican debates held before the caucuses‚ and he publicly sparred with some of Iowa's biggest political influences‚ including Gov. Kim Reynolds (R). But that didn't matter. By winning more than 50% of support from caucus-goers — and nearly all of Iowa's 99 counties — Trump recorded the biggest margin of victory in the Iowa Republican caucuses.But Trump's opponents quickly tried to minimize the feat."Almost half of the base of the Republican Party showing up for this caucus tonight voted against Donald Trump‚" said Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on MSNBC. "Think about that. This is the most famous Republican. He's the guy who‚ you know‚ basically built the modern Republican Party ... that the Democrats are running against‚ and half the people in that party didn’t vote for Donald Trump. So‚ I think that is telling. It tells you the weakness of Donald Trump‚ and also the opportunity for Democrats‚" he continued. — (@) MSNBC host Joe Scarborough made a similar argument on "Morning Joe" the morning after the caucuses. According to Scarborough‚ it is "bad news" for Republicans that Trump earned only 51% of caucus-goer's support."I want to look at this another way: If Barack Obama took four years off and then ran in a Democratic caucus in Iowa‚ would 50% of Democrats vote against Barack Obama? No. No‚ they wouldn't‚" Scarborough said‚ later adding‚ "Fifty percent of people voting in the Iowa caucuses against a former president is bad news for that party's prospects in the general election — not good news." This argument‚ however‚ is downright silly.Their argument suggests that because half of Iowa Republicans chose not to support Trump in their caucuses‚ those voters will support President Joe Biden in the general election. But there is no evidence to support this conclusion. Few‚ if any‚ Republican voters who oppose Trump will cast their vote for Biden. The majority of anti-Trump Republicans‚ instead‚ are likely to vote third-party‚ write in a candidate‚ or vote against Biden — by voting for Trump. Like Blaze News?

A handful of Jewish students at Harvard have filed a lawsuit against their school after "rampant antisemitism" seemed to take over the campus in the wake of Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7.Last week‚ six students‚ including a group called Students Against Antisemitism and a Harvard Divinity School student identified as Alexander Kestenbaum‚ filed the lawsuit in a U.S. district court in Boston‚ alleging that‚ while anti-Jewish bigotry has always been a problem at Harvard‚ the school has recently become "a bastion of rampant antiJewish hatred and harassment."The lawsuit claimed that the Oct. 7 attack "emboldened" students‚ faculty‚ and administrators to participate in egregious acts of anti-Semitism‚ including harassing students wearing notably Jewish apparel in the student lounge and providing "burritos and candy" to a mob of pro-Palestinian students who seized control of University Hall in November.Such instances of anti-Jewish bias reveal a shocking "double standard" about the enforcement of Harvard's code of conduct‚ the lawsuit claimed. "Harvard permits students and faculty to advocate‚ without consequence‚ the murder of Jews and the destruction of Israel‚ the only Jewish country in the world‚" it said. "Meanwhile‚ Harvard requires students to take a training class that warns that they will be disciplined if they engage in sizeism‚ fatphobia‚ racism‚ transphobia‚ or other disfavored behavior."Kestenbaum‚ who goes by the name Shabbos‚ sat down for an interview with the Daily Mail and claimed that the Harvard campus has become so hostile to Jewish students that his parents do not want him to return. "I would not be surprised in the slightest if there would be an attack on Jewish students" sometime during the spring semester‚ he said.The worst part is‚ he added‚ "Harvard just hasn't done anything to address these concerns." The lawsuit even claimed that Harvard has been an "abject failure" in enforcing rules against anti-Semitism.Kestenbaum insisted that he didn't initially intend to sue the school and only filed the suit as a "last resort." "We tried to do and go through every other channel‚ but we were turned down time and time again. And we just didn't know what else to do."The lawsuit demands disciplinary action against any students‚ professors‚ and administrators who have engaged in "antisemitic discrimination and abuse‚ whether because they engage in it or permit it." Mark Ressler‚ an attorney with Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP‚ which is representing the plaintiffs‚ claimed that the anti-Semitic issues at Harvard extend beyond just members of the immediate Harvard community. He indicated that sizeable donations — perhaps from foreign countries — have been made to the school on the condition that faculty espouse a decidedly anti-Jewish or anti-Israel stance."The concern is that foreign countries are donating large amounts of money with strings attached‚" Ressler said in a separate interview with the Daily Mail.Ressler said that during discovery from the lawsuit‚ he and others on his legal team hope to comb through various intra-office communications between Harvard officials — including former President Claudine Gay‚ who recently resigned after she was accused of ignoring anti-Semitism on campus‚ among other scandals — to see whether such donations have ever been made. Their goal is to ensure that "Harvard does not accept any donation from any foreign country that is conditional upon a professor spewing anti-Semitic venom in class or on campus‚" he said.In addition to a better understanding of the motives behind school donations‚ the plaintiffs are seeking tuition reimbursement from Harvard‚ arguing that the school has failed to keep up its end of the bargain regarding student safety. "Whatever the cost of tuition is for a year at Harvard Law School‚ ... that should be refunded because Harvard has breached the contract it enters into with students‚" Ressler claimed.Blaze News reached out to the office of interim President Alan Garber regarding the lawsuit but did not immediately receive a response. The school has already declined to provide a comment to Reuters.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!
