🚨DEEP STATE GEARING UP President-elect Donald Trump poses a serious threat to the woke bureaucrats staffing the federal government.
The massive left-wing influence campaign I call The Woketopus🐙 won't go away on Jan. 20. Far from it.
Instead, the left-wing ideologues in the administrative state have a three-part strategy to hamstring Trump, undermine his admin from within, and prepare for the next liberal administration.
Some of the bureaucrats, knowing Trump will fire them, have already found their next jobs—in the left-wing nonprofits that form the arms of the Woketopus.
Tracy Stone-Manning, for example, will leave the Bureau of Land Management for The Wilderness Society, a woke environmentalist group.
All the woke nonprofits that staffed and advised the Biden administration will welcome back their old colleagues and their ideological allies. Bureaucrats will flock to the Center for American Progress, the Human Rights Campaign, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the Southern Poverty Law Center, among others.
From there, they will influence the political discourse and bide their time⏱️ for another liberal administration.

🚨WHEN LABOR BECOMES MANAGEMENT
Employees at America's sixth-largest labor union, the United Auto Workers, are on strike, accusing the UAW of union-busting.
The strike✊ began this week, but apparently it's inconvenient for the legacy media's narrative. Please RT this to get the word out there.
dailysignal.com/2024/12/05/iro…
UAW Staff United is still on strike in Manhattan, and the legacy media still seems utterly disinterested in covering this story.
Advocates of "gender-affirming care" made at least 6 false and dubious claims in the Supreme Court oral arguments for U.S. v. Skrmetti today.
Transgender medical interventions are so grotesque, advocates use euphemistic terms like "gender-affirming care" to hide their true nature. The arguments today illustrated once again that gender ideology considers natural puberty to be unhealthy for some minors and prefers the artificial facsimile of puberty created by Big Pharma products...💉

1⃣US SG Elizabeth Prelogar claimed that "puberty blockers" entail "just pressing pause" on natural growth.
In reality, these cancer drugs—not approved by the FDA for gender dysphoria—have serious side effects & hormone doctors disagree with Prelogar. 2/9
The Southern Poverty Law Center has taken aim at Not the Bee, the real-news partner of The Babylon Bee. The SPLC is threatening to doxx the people who write for Not the Bee, to reveal their identities to expose them to ridicule and ostracization.
The SPLC is trying to silence Not the Bee because it publishes news that contradicts the SPLC's woke narrative. But I also suspect there's a secondary motive at play.
As the name suggests, the group was founded to provide legal representation to poor people in the South. Yet, as I wrote in my book, "Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center," Morris Dees used the SPLC to sue Klan groups into bankruptcy, a noble mission but one that SPLC lawyers described as "shooting fish in a barrel" in the 1980s. When he ran out of Klan groups, Dees turned to ever more mainstream conservative and Christian groups.
Today, the SPLC releases a "hate map" that plots mainstream groups like the Center for Immigration Studies, Alliance Defending Freedom, and Moms for Liberty alongside chapters of the Klan. Their crimes? Disagreeing with the SPLC's woke agenda. The SPLC has become the Left's cancel culture enforcer.
This makes the SPLC quite useful to the Left, which is why companies like Eventbrite and NextDoor still use the SPLC despite its many scandals.
🚨'ROTTEN TO A CORE': 5-year FEMA veteran reveals woke bias at the disaster agency.
FEMA supervisor Marn’i Washington infamously told agents to avoid houses with signs supporting Donald Trump in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton. FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell condemned this, suggesting that Washington acted alone.
Washington said she didn't act alone, and FEMA sources told me that Washington's probably right. A former employee who worked at FEMA for 5 years said Criswell's statement is a "complete lie."😲

'COMPLETE LIE': The former FEMA employee told me that he also witnessed FEMA leaders encouraging staff to avoid whites and conservatives on the supposition that they would be hostile.
"They were told to avoid Trump, avoid any house that has a Trump sign, in a verbal meeting," he said. "I've seen that happen."😲
"We were told, 'Don't go into any house that looks suspicious,'" the former employee recalled. "They would use words like, 'hick,' 'cowboys,' 'rednecks.' You can change that over to 'Trump supporters,' 'MAGA.'"
Referring to Washington, the fired supervisor, the former employee said: "She's saying, 'I didn't make this up on my own.' I believe her because I've totally seen it."
"I believe she did exactly what she was told to do," he said. "I read Deanne's statement—it's a lie, it's a complete lie."

🚨Why is the Biden-Harris administration so woke? Didn't Biden campaign as a moderate?🤔
This chart explains what happened. Bear with me: I know it looks like a conspiracy theory, but I have the receipts.
In short: The Left's dark money network funds a system of woke nonprofits that staff and advise the administrative state, getting their far-left policy agenda implemented in the federal government.
My book, "The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government," outlines exactly how this works and zeroes in on a few key issues.
One of the biggest issues for me has been the weaponization of federal law enforcement against conservatives.
At the center of this is the Southern Poverty Law Center, a far-left smear factory that puts mainstream conservative and Christian groups on a "hate map" with the Ku Klux Klan. The SPLC targets organizations that oppose its far-left agenda on critical race theory, immigration, transgender issues, and more.
SPLC President Margaret Huang has bragged that federal law enforcement reached out to the SPLC for advice on combatting the "domestic terror threat," and FOIA documents reveal the extent of the SPLC's influence in government. SPLC leaders and staff have visited the White House at least 18 times, according to visitor logs.
The SPLC has also received funding💰 from the Foundation to Promote Open Society, the Proteus Fund, the New Venture Fund, and the Tides Foundation.

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Dr. Eric Cubin, a radiologist, was booted from his state's Board of Medicine for supporting a bill named after @ChoooCole, a bill that would ban transgender experiments for minors, which are falsely called "gender-affirming care." Now, he's suing.
Today, @LJCenter is filing a preliminary injunction, asking a federal court to restore Cubin to the Wyoming Board of Medicine while the court considers his First Amendment lawsuit against Gov. Mark Gordon.
Cubin claims Gordon unconstitutionally retaliated against the doctor for his free speech.
dailysignal.com/2024/10/01/exc…
“I was removed from the Wyoming State Board of Medicine because I took a stand to protect the children in our state," Cubin told me.
He explained that he sent a letter to the Wyoming House of Representatives because the Wyoming Medical Society (of which he is a member) publicly opposed Chloe's Law. He asked the society to clarify that not all of its member doctors oppose Chloe's Law, but the society did not respond to him.
"I had been misrepresented by the Wyoming Medical Society and had no choice but to speak up for what I believe to be right," he told me.‼️ “I urged our legislators to be circumspect about the information they were being provided and cautious about what they allow physicians to do to kids in our state—something that is now the law across Wyoming."

🚨Legacy media outlets are touting the 200 "Republicans" who signed an open letter backing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.🤔 I was curious, so I teamed up with @TheElizMitchell and did a little digging.
As it turns out, this list has three groups of "former Bush, McCain, and Romney staff" who arguably don't belong and may have been added just to pad the numbers:
1⃣INTERNS. Yes, people who interned for a presidential campaign or a Senate office are on this list as if they represent GOP politicos.
2⃣Apolitical staff. There's a guy who flew Marine One for George W. Bush (props) who also flew Marine One for *checks notes* Barack Obama. Not exactly a GOP politico, huh?
3⃣People who went on to work for Democrats in more political roles.
If you want to publicly back Harris, fine. But this list doesn't represent some sort of groundswell among Republicans. dailysignal.com/2024/08/30/lis…
1⃣Exhibit A of someone who does NOT belong on such a list: Felice Gorordo. Yes, Gorordo did work in the Bush administration. But in 2011, Barack Obama appointed him as a White House Fellow. Then, in 2018, he joined the Biden Cancer Initiative. He may be a fine guy, but he's not evidence of a GOP groundswell for Harris.

👖🔥PANTS ON FIRE: Democrats told 5 massive lies at the #DNC, and they repeated them over and over. Here's my article and thread breaking them down 1/7 dailysignal.com/2024/08/22/5-m…
1⃣Trump supports a "nationwide abortion ban."
FACT CHECK: False. Trump has repeatedly stated that he would leave abortion up to the states.
🚨GASLIGHTING: The Southern Poverty Law Center, which pushes financial firms to blacklist conservative and Christian nonprofits, claims that @ADFLegal's warnings about debanking are a conspiracy theory. But it gets worse... dailysignal.com/2024/08/20/gro…
SPLC blatantly lied, saying that ADF itself "characterizes" debanking as an "anti-white and anti-Christian conspiracy." This echoes SPLC's previous accusation that ADF's efforts at viewpoint diversity are somehow rooted in "white supremacy." dailysignal.com/2024/08/12/now…

“During the Trump administration, the media falsely accused us daily of ‘politicizing America’s public health agencies.’ Yet the same media is now silent on Harris and Biden’s FDA’s anti-science, purely political insanity,” former HHS Chief of Staff @brianeharrison told me.

🚨BREAKING: SPLC puts a gay organization, @againstgrmrs, on the "hate map" as an "Anti-LGBTQ+ hate group." The SPLC also put doctors⚕️ on the map with KKK chapters: @segm_ebm @donoharm @genspect. Their crime? Disagreeing with transgender orthodoxy. dailysignal.com/2024/06/05/spl…
The SPLC claimed it “documented 86 active anti-LGBTQ+ hate groups—about 33% higher than 2022, and the highest number ever recorded by the SPLC.” What does that actually mean?🤔 It means they chose to smear more groups as "anti-LGBTQ+ hate groups."
