The Woke Puppet
Oh to be Trans and living under the umbrella of Democrats and Joe Biden. It is a covering of many colors, but each color is separate, divided and not unified. The greens are green, yellows, yellow, blues, blue, and blacks, black. It looks nice, but does it protect us all from what is raining from above, from the tower of power that the Biden/Harris Administration represent.
Our government has become a political power and not balanced in representing the whole of America. The government is unwieldy and not able to perform efficiently, or objectively. As a ship at sea it is top heavy with elitists and should be struggling to stay properly afloat except for the ballast. The ballast of the ship of state is made up of a majority liberal employees, difficult to dislodge as long as they show up daily. They are Tik Tok Woke jokers, yes, far too many. They serve in valuable as well as questionable ways. Many are engaged to insure the engine of government operates regardless of those at the top. Checks are written, 1041’s reviewed, the work of Congress advanced, legislation drafted, and reports are read. But there are many engaged, some saying too many, in departments created over history, timely at the time, but not needed today. The process within to disband the detritus of past and current political pet projects and desires is non-existent or embroiled in controversy. Regulations protect government employees from being let go without cause, even if that cause is their service is no longer required or needed.
A problem, seems to me, is the ideals of liberalism have percolated to the top - a socialistic orientation, disdain for capitalism, an aggressive plan to save a planet dying tomorrow (using fear tactics), and collecting every minority character into their camp. The act as morality police. Influencers of the woke variety claiming freedom of speech and democracy, yet hypocrites by their intolerance, are granted leeway by the media. The top law enforcer (AG Garland) now prevails over a system protective of democrats (certainly the President and his son Hunter), while trampling on the freedoms of parents, conservatives, church goers and Republicans, and making criminals victims.
States have their own legislatures and departments that can be good and can be bad. Decision making at the State level focuses on matters important to local citizens. State residents may differ State to State in their orientation. That is why today there are maps showing red and blue States, those conservative, fiscally responsible in nature contrasted to a liberal, socialist orientation. But the power at the Federal level can work in diabolic ways to alter the voice of the State to acquiesce to that of the power of the Administration. Recent concerns about Trans athletes, not woman becoming male-like, but men becoming woman-like, has arisen in the area of sports. Trans-womanlike-males competing alongside women have shown a competitive advantage in a number of venues. Many States declared this wrong and enacted legislation banning Trannies. Along came Biden, responding to the pressure from his internal influencers.
The IRS collects taxes from all Americans. The obligations flow into a single pot, the Federal Treasury, and is meted out to pay bills. Not all funds pay for Federal obligations, as there is an allocation process to each State. It is not equal to that received, as there is a disproportional payout, richer States receiving less than paid in and poorer States receiving more than paid in. There are payments made to colleges and universities, to cities and other local governments, for roads and bridges, various infrastructure needs, maintenance of airports and post offices and more. But the caveat emptor is this. There are strings attached. They are tied to the puppeteers at the helm of the ship of state. If a State heads in a direction that is not to the liking of the national power corps, as by saying ‘no’ to trans, the string can be pulled. The string is attached to cash, State money mind you, but the Federal’s have control. They can say there will be no cash unless….. as in “unless you allow trans to compete there will be no cash for education in your State.” Unless a company does not hire persons of characteristics as defined, say blacks or female or LGBTQ, Union, or whatever, a business will not be eligible for lucrative government contracts. The characteristics are the essence, not the abilities or the thoughts and ideas of those to be employed. The umbrella cannot be a blend, but segregated, allocations by decree, enforced by the influencers pressuring the leadership to use their strings.
I stand with Riley Gaines.
Riley, an accomplished swimmer, was recently defeated by a trans swimmer. She lost to a biological male in a female only competition. I am not in the arena that would allow men, in any form or creation, to compete in women’s sports. Have a separate trans category if they must. Just imagine college trans teams, but consider how many trans women would compete, that is, just trans men would face off. This is the hypocrisy of it all.
Riley has spoken out over this injustice. Her voice is being heard, but her campaign is not easy. Recently she was confronted, attacked in fact, by trannies. For her safety she was sequestered by security for hours until the melee abated. [Read article: https://nypost.com/2023/04/09/riley-gaines-slams-sf-state-for-praising-peaceful-protest-where-she-claims-she-was-assaulted/ ]. Yet the perpetrators were never charged for the disturbance or harm they caused. The liberals were protected, making Riley the criminal, not the victim, for taking a stand.
A bit of irony, or hypocrisy. Megan Rapinoe, retired soccer star, spoke out at the White House (4/13) in favor of trans in women’s sports. This is the elite model speaking. She made her fame and money and now can take what she sees as a moral high road. She catered to the bias of the audience invited. Being LGBT herself (the ‘L’), I question her support for trans-inclusion if she was still competing. My thought is she would resist or not in fact be as honored, successful or wealthy as a female, having been replaced by a George who became a Ginny and out-scored her on every soccer pitch they would have played on. She’d then be more logical in her commentary, and more like Riley.
And to exemplify elitist, think EVs. Not a member of the Biden family drives an EV. Elitist narcissist Geraldo Rivera favors EVs for all as he speaks about buying an EV Bentley. They live above the clouds, as morality examples, yet forget those that really matter. Most people neither desire an EV nor can afford an EV.
Let men be men, women, women. If they want to transition elsewhere then deal with the reality. I am in the biology means something group. There are many States there too. But the long arm of an inefficient, possibly effeminate, Administration, certainly compromised by the ‘woke,’ is at work using their power of the purse, not even their own money, to impose a liberal will on those that disagree. Democrat’s democracy is not the same as that of the fathers of our Nation. At one time the intent of States having Rights, States Rights, meant something. The Feds clearly feel differently. They want but one idea for America. The diversity of 50 ideas, one per State, does not fit the intolerant posture of the heavily left Democrats. The trend is currently ‘woke.’ And Biden has become there Woke puppet in charge.
