‘Religion of Woke’: Hawley Slams Corporations for Liberal Agenda

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) addressed controversies over ‘woke’ marketing agendas during remarks at the religious conservative activist conference Road to Majority on Friday.

Hawley focused on his Christian faith for most of the speech, claiming corporations are pushing a “religion of woke.” Hawley vowed to defeat a new form of ‘cultural Marxism,’ saying it has taken over the Democratic Party and the media while taking root in universities.

“These new Marxists want to give America a new religion. They want to impose on us the religion of woke,” Hawley said. “It is the religion of transgenderism, critical race theory and open borders, multiculturalism, and they are shoving it down our throats.”

Hawley, who said he believes Marxism has taken over control of the Democratic Party, called Marxism the greatest threat the nation is facing. He added that it has “infected even our corporations.”

Watch as Killer Whales Attack Yacht in ‘Scary’ Race Incident

Team JAJO had some special –– and terrifying –– visitors while sailing in the Strait of Gibraltar as part of the 2023 Ocean Race on Thursday.

A group of orcas, otherwise known as killer whales, surrounded the Dutch crew’s yacht, first circling the boat and then ramming into it.

“This was a scary moment,” Jelmer van Beek, Team JAJO skipper, said, according to the Associated Press. “Three orcas came straight at us and started hitting the rudders. Impressive to see the orcas, beautiful animals, but also a dangerous moment for us as a team.”

Some of Team JAJO’s crew banged on the ship’s hull to try to scare the orcas away while the whales started biting the boat’s rudders.

“We took down the sails and slowed down the boat as quickly as possible, and luckily after a few attacks, they went away,” van Beek said. (Read more from “Watch as Killer Whales Attack Yacht in ‘Scary’ Race Incident” HERE)

National Park Service Evicting 94-Year-Old Artist From Cape Cod Shack He’s Occupied for 77 Years

A group of nine owners of beachfront dune shacks in Provincetown, Massachusetts, are protesting National Park Service plans to move ahead with 10-year leases to new owners.

The shacks were seized by eminent domain in the 1960s, but the occupants then were given leases, some long-term and some from year-to-year.

In an attempt to make the situation more stable, NPS wants to lease out the shacks in 10-year increments and has been giving tours of the buildings, some of which still have the belongings of their occupants inside. Now, current occupants must leave.

Among those affected is Salvatore Del Deo, a 94-year-old artist who has lived in a dune shack given to him by a friend for 77 years. Mr. Del Deo began helping maintain the first iteration of his shack for original owner Jeanne Schnell in 1946, who later willed the structure to Mr. Del Deo and his wife.

In the eyes of the National Park Service, however, the rightful heir of the shack’s lifetime lease was not Mr. Del Deo but Schnell’s daughter Adrienne. The younger Schnell died in 2016, with Mr. Del Deo continuing to pay taxes on the property, and the National Park Service did not learn of her death until recently.

Judge Blocks a State’s First-In-The-Nation Ban on Abortion Pills

On Thursday, a judge blocked Wyoming’s first-in-the-nation law that outlawed abortion pills. The law was scheduled to take effect July 1.

As Townhall recently reported, medication abortion is a two-part regimen. A pregnant woman would take the drug mifepristone to stop an unborn baby from growing. Later on, the woman would take misoprostol, which would expel the unborn baby from her body. This method is used in the first trimester of pregnancy. According to the Guttmacher Institute, this method accounts for the majority of abortions in the United States.

Reportedly, Wyoming passed legislation banning abortion procedures in most cases, as well as restricting the abortion pill, after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Pro-abortion advocated challenged the legislation (via the Associated Press):

Wyoming’s pill ban is being challenged by four women, including two obstetricians, and two nonprofit organizations. One of the groups, Wellspring Health Access, opened as the state’s first full-service abortion clinic in years in April following an arson attack in 2022.

They’re are also suing to stop a near-total ban on abortion enacted in Wyoming in March. Owens has suspended that law, too, and combined the two lawsuits.

Fake Photos of Demonic Statues Stir Up Controversy for Hobby Lobby

A new controversy has been created for Hobby Lobby, the company that enraged Democrats and leftists when it went to the Supreme Court to defend its faith-based decision not to fund the abortion industry, and it’s because of artificial intelligence. . .

A report from Crosswalk explained the online images were generated by Jennifer Vinyard, a member of the Satanic Temple.

She reportedly used a program called Midjourney to take imagery of the demonic Baphomet and insert it into images of the stores.

She then posted them online, and triggered concerned consumers with her claim, “I think we need to talk about what is going on at Hobby Lobby…won’t somebody please think of the children!?” . . .

“Hobby Lobby is gonna get canceled if people believe these are real,” one commenter said of the images. (Read more from “Fake Photos of Demonic Statues Stir Up Controversy for Hobby Lobby” HERE)

Whistleblower: Hunter Biden Deducted Payments to Sex Club, Hookers on His Taxes

President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, allegedly deducted tens of thousands of dollars in payments made to a prostitute and a sex club from his taxes, according to an IRS whistleblower.

An anonymous IRS criminal investigator to the House Ways and Means Committee during a June 1 interview that Biden improperly deducted these expenses on his 2018 tax forms. The whistleblower claimed Biden underreported his total income by unto $500,000, or $267,000 using “the most conservative approach.”

“So he underreported his total income by $267,000, if you are using the most conservative approach, and that is a tax loss of $106,000,” the whistleblower told congress. “So that includes deductions for personal wages and salaries paid, personal travel expenses paid, personal children expenses that he paid, and personal other expenses that he paid.”

The whistleblower told Congress that Biden’s “statements in his book completely contradicted what was being deducted on his tax return.” (Read more from “Whistleblower: Hunter Biden Deducted Payments to Sex Club, Hookers on His Taxes” HERE)

ABC, CBS Ignore Bombshell Whistleblower Claims of Hunter Biden’s ‘Preferential Treatment’ From DOJ

ABC’s “World News Tonight” and “CBS Evening News” on Thursday evening ignored the bombshell IRS whistleblower allegations that Hunter Biden received preferential treatment from the Justice Department (DOJ) regarding probes into tax violations.

On Thursday morning, House Republicans released transcripts of two IRS whistleblowers, one of whom provided evidence that Joe Biden was present when Hunter Biden pressured a Chinese business partner to send them millions of dollars, Breitbart News reported.

A second whistleblower also said the DOJ interfered in the effort to investigate Hunter Biden for tax crimes, although Joe Biden’s attorney general recently claimed otherwise.

But ABC and CBS evening news programming ignored the whistleblowers’ publicly available testimony provided by the House Ways and Means Committee. (Read more from “ABC, CBS Ignore Bombshell Whistleblower Claims of Hunter Biden’s ‘Preferential Treatment’ From DOJ” HERE)

Four Kids Rescued From Squalid Home Where Dead Trans Woman, Drugs, Sex Toys Found

Four children who were found in a home littered with booze, drugs, sex toys, and the corpse of a trans woman, were hidden away in a cramped back room crying for help, a Boston city councilor said.

City Councilor Erin Murphy told Boston 25 that first responders, who called to the home about a person in cardiac arrest, heard the children “crying for help.” First responders called about a person in cardiac arrest found a trans woman – a man in women’s clothes – who they were unable to revive.

“A lot of drug paraphernalia and sex toys all around and then one of the firefighters said that they heard a cry for help,” Murphy told the outlet. “That there were four children in the back room, and I am hearing that the adults in the apartment were not wanting first responders to go back when they heard kids crying for help, so that is very disturbing to me.”

A Boston Fire Department crew of first responders was dispatched to an apartment in a public housing complex Saturday morning for a call about a man who had gone into cardiac arrest, the Boston Herald reported. An incident report obtained by the Herald showed that the first responders discovered more than a man in a medical crisis.

Employees at approximately 150 Starbucks stores are reportedly gathering to strike Friday regarding an argument over LGBTQQIAAP2s+ Pride decorations.

The workers are from stores across the nation, and the Starbucks Workers United Union claims the company restricted Pride decorations in some of its stores, CNN reported Friday.

However, Starbucks has since denied the claim and said there has been no change to its policies regarding the decorations, per CNBC:

The company stated, “Workers United continues to spread false information about our benefits, policies and negotiation efforts, a tactic used to seemingly divide our partners and deflect from their failure to respond to bargaining sessions for more than 200 stores.” (Read more from “Woke vs. Woke: 3K+ Starbucks Workers to Strike Over Pride Backlash” HERE)

‘Irreversible Infertility’ Listed as Risk of Hormone Therapy on Trans Clinic Waiver

Advocates of so-called “gender affirming care” for children have sought to lower the minimum age for cross-sex hormone therapy, but waivers at a top Virginia clinic require parents to acknowledge a frightening list of potential permanent side effects.

The waivers from the University of Virginia (UVA) Medical Center, obtained exclusively by The Daily Wire, list the potentially harmful side effects of testosterone treatment and puberty blocker usage. The UVA Children’s Hospital Transgender Youth Health clinic offers “transgender youth health services for ages 11 to 25.”

“Testosterone therapy may cause transient infertility due to loss of ovulation or irreversible infertility due to ovarian tissue damage,” one warning from a document titled “Consent For Testosterone Therapy” reads. It goes on to suggest “banking eggs.”

The form also states “I authorize Dr. __________, based upon my child’s treatment goals, to treat me/my child with testosterone for the purpose of gender transition.”

The list of side effects points out that “this is an ‘off-label’ use of this medication – it has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.” Other potential side effects include high cholesterol, sleep apnea, and “increased risk of … yeast infections.” (Read more from “‘Irreversible Infertility’ Listed as Risk of Hormone Therapy on Trans Clinic Waiver” HERE)
