Fighting Woke
Chris Rufo: "I'm not the problem. I'm actually the solution."
People hate Chris Rufo.
“Your agenda to turn our campus into a space of extremist indoctrination is harming our enrollment!” shouts a student at Florida’s New College. “You are the problem!”
“I’m not the problem,” Rufo tells me in my newest video. “I’m actually the solution.”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis made Rufo a trustee of a state college. Rufo quickly moved to end what he considers leftist indoctrination.
“We fired the director of DEI and abolished her entire department.”
Rufo learned about indoctrination after making a PBS documentary on poverty. He started getting odd leaks from government workers.
“Mid-level bureaucrats, so exasperated with what was happening, started feeding me documents,” says Rufo.
The documents showed that government Diversity, Equity and Inclusion officials pushed anti-white racism. Seattle told employees, “Work on undoing your own whiteness.”
It’s a product of critical race theory, says Rufo. “The intention is to have an emotional lever against you.”
“What’s in it for them? I ask.
“Career advancement, and cultural and emotional power over others,” he answers.
Tweeting the leaks led to more leaks. “I did one story, and then I’d get five or six people sending me documents … then suddenly it was 100 people and 1,000 people.”
A worker at the defense contractor Sandia Labs revealed that Sandia’s new hiring rules require them to always interview “at least one” woman and one minority.
“Sounds fair,” I say to Rufo. “Make up for past discrimination.”
“You should be encouraging a wide variety of people to apply,” Rufo responds. “But when we’re talking about nuclear weapons, you need to have the most capable individuals, regardless of race or sex.”
Rufo’s critics accuse him of making things up. The New Yorker profile on him was titled “How a Conservative Activist Invented the Conflict Over Critical Race Theory.”
“I post all of the original source documents for every one of my stories,” Rufo responds. “It’s so shameful when it’s exposed to sunlight that they’ve engaged in these accusations as a form of denial.”
“All 100 Fortune 100 companies have DEI bureaucracies. It’s seen as second nature to endorse Black Lives Matter, a left-wing racial activist organization responsible for rioting, violence, but if you say, ‘I’m pro-life and I want a pro-life message in a corporate setting,’ it would be shut down immediately! … Why are only one set of political ideologies allowed?”
I push back, “Because America’s history of slavery and oppression is so bad.”
“But that’s also based on a lie!” Rufo replies. “Of course, slavery is an abominable historical legacy, but the record of the United States on slavery … is much better than almost anywhere else.”
Florida now has banned all public universities from funding DEI programs, and from claiming that systemic racism is inherent in the United States.
But doesn’t that violate professors’ right to speak? The free speech group FIRE calls Florida’s new university rules “flatly unconstitutional.”
“I worry about things you and DeSantis do,” I tell Rufo. “It feels authoritarian.”
“Impressionable young kids should not be taught race hatred,” Rufo responds. “These are commonsense restrictions that aren’t authoritarian. They’re simply acknowledging that the state is the authority in the public schools.”
Florida forbids public schoolteachers from teaching the ‘1619 Project,’ which argues that America was really founded when slaves were brought here.
“The idea that the founders fought the revolution to protect slavery,” says Rufo, “is so mind-boggling that even Marxist historians debunked it.”
That’s true. But doesn’t he worry that the next Florida governor might require schools to teach things like the ‘1619 Project’?
“Of course I worry about that,” says Rufo. “But that’s what democracy is for … what politics is for.”
Really? I think politics is for letting us choose representatives who preside over limited government, one that protects us from fraud, force and theft, but mostly leaves us alone.
Florida leads the nation in school choice. That’s great. We’re better off when politicians give power back to parents. Then parents who want their kids taught the ‘1619 Project’ can have that. Those who don’t are free to pick another school.
Choice is better than diktats from politicians.

Nolte: Report Says Disney Hired Gay Porn Star for ‘Little Mermaid’ Remake
A report says the child abusers and fetishists at Disney hired a gay porn star to portray a merman (are we assuming gender now, Disney?) in the studio’s latest flop, The Little Mermaid (2023).
“Disney accidentally cast a porn star in The Little Mermaid,” reports the National Post. Among “those hired for the job was 24-year-old Stefano Tomadini, who has also made adult movies under the alias Dante Ferrari.”
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Casting bosses decided to hire a number of really sexy male models to play mermen in the movie.
“They had no idea about Stefano’s racy videos and, given ‘The Little Mermaid’ is the big summer blockbuster for kids, it’s a bit embarrassing for Disney.”
Ace of Spades explains: “Here’s a hint that ‘Dante Ferrari’ might have been a gay porn star: His name is ‘Dante Ferrari.'”
My guess is Disney would’ve hired him even quicker if his name was “BigWad Porsche.”
The report adds that while “filming the movie in Sardinia, Stefano [AKA BigWad Porsche, I mean Dante Ferrari) shared a number of behind-the-scenes photos on Instagram.” He tagged Disney in the now deleted post and wrote: “Lifetime memories with lifetime friends.”
The report claims the hiring was “accidental.” Still, it wouldn’t surprise anyone who knows anything about Disney to discover this was some in-joke amongst the perverts and child exploiters who now run the Magic Kingdom. Are we supposed to believe a gazillion-dollar company doesn’t run basic Google searches and background checks of potential employees? Well, maybe the company is too busy scheming to destroy the innocence of children to worry about such things.
Disney has long been accused of adding secret sexual messages in its children’s movies, a claim I found absurd until Disney came out of the closet as proud child groomers.
What I’d like to know is how this report can claim Disney “accidentally” hired a gay porn star when Disney has so far refused comment?
After 20 days of release, The Little Mermaid sits at an okay $236 million domestic. The problem is the overseas numbers, which are dreadful—a mere $186 million.
Worldwide, it’s hard to see Disney’s latest remake hit $500 million, which means it will lose millions.
This coming weekend, Disney releases Elemental through its Pixar division. Box office analysts are already predicting it will flop. At the end of June, Disney delivers Indiana Jones 5. Box office analysts are predicting a flop.
In addition to this well-deserved misery, Disney announced another delay in the release dates of its biggest and now faltering franchises. Both Star Wars and the next Avenger movies have been pushed a year. Even if the groomers won’t say so, we all know why. The studio cannot afford to have its first Star Wars entry since 2019 flop or even disappoint. Same with whatever the next Avengers entry looks like.
If Indiana Jones 5 flops in two weeks and The Marvels flops this winter…. Well, that will make me and all decent people who believe adults should not sexualize children very happy.
Disney is now demonic, a slave to its fetishes, and I cheer every failure and setback.
The quiet riot against insanity in America is gaining strength
How have we gone from America’s low-inflation, high tax revenue, full employment economy, with an expanding middle class, energy independence and rock solid military to the kowtowing disaster of the last two years?
The only possible conclusion is that this is a long-term and well-planned operation to kneecap America.
Accepting that the most prosperous nation on earth is suddenly falling into poverty, crime and wokeness, and our citizens are happily voting for more, requires a level of insane thinking that is unprecedented, yet we now have…
- Ballot counting machines that can’t count ballots
- Judges who refuse to judge
- Anti-American American presidents
- Prosecutors who don’t prosecute
- Peaceful protests labeled as domestic terrorism and domestic terrorists labeled as peaceful protestors
- Representatives who don’t represent
- Corporations that don’t seek profit
- Banks that don’t protect their depositors’ money
- News reporters who don’t report the news
- “Environmentalist” energy policies that waste energy and harm the environment
- Scientists who don’t use the scientific method
- Teachers who don’t teach, advocating graphic books on sex for children too young to understand sex
- Psychologists and physicians encouraging dysphoria insanity in vulnerable children – while keeping parents clueless
- Men playing women’s sports and assaulting girls in their locker rooms
- Doctors who don’t heal, promoting vaccines that kill
- Groups demanding reparations from people whose ancestors mistreated their ancestors
- Free speech that isn’t free
Americans are kind, patient, generous people who want to live our lives, raise our families, do our jobs or run our businesses, pray – or not, and be left alone. Because we believe in fairness and free speech we are willing to tolerate the speech of others – even if we think it’s crazy or offensive. We recognize that we are not perfect and we acknowledge that our country isn’t perfect, especially our past.
Most of us still have a basic understanding of civics and believe that our representative government and our right to vote are the cornerstone of American greatness. When something goes wrong there are laws that all are required to follow and a judicial system that impartially enforces those laws.
Whether you are a Republican, Democrat or Independent, a Conservative or a Liberal, when you vote for a candidate in a primary or general election, you expect your vote to be counted accurately.
When this American contract breaks down we are nothing more than well-entertained slaves. Our leaders are not our representatives, beholden to us, but our masters.
Much of this insane war on the middle class and small business is justified by the “environmental movement.” All Americans want clean air and water. But the Left has coopted this noble cause and perverted into nothing more than a thinly veiled justification for ending American prosperity. They trot out “scientists” who falsify study results to justify their actions – all of which restrict freedom and growth - while actually doing massive harm to the environment they claim to worship.
They cry panic over “global warming” and pollution, but their policies do nothing to cool the earth or reduce pollution. Instead, we see agreements and accords that transfer money from rich countries and codify immense levels of pollution in poorer ones.
We see laws passed to require electric cars to “save our environment” with “clean, renewable energy” that take more energy and toxins to produce and eventually dispose of than will ever be saved.
Worst of all, our world class medical system was twisted to declare a medical emergency, forcing us into solitary confinement and denying our children their education. They gave us a “vaccine” as a cure that did more harm than good. They used blatantly manipulated data to inflate panic about the disease and then deny the side-effects of the vaccine.
When we speak up against this insanity, we are arrested and imprisoned without basic civil rights or labeled “domestic terrorists” at local school board meetings. And when we go to the ballot box to change our representatives our votes are miscounted, and our new Republican “leadership” suddenly compromises with the Left, while claiming to do “what’s best for America.”
Despite the attempts of the Left to distract, censor and bully us, polls show that the silent majority recognizes the insanity of inner city crime, twisted justice, criminal Presidents, woke corporations, propaganda news, environmental “justice,” sexualizing children and transgenderism. Most of us know someone who died from improper treatment of COVID or the injections purported to prevent it.
And we know about election fraud.
For some reason, Google is suddenly allowing discussion of election fraud and Rasmussen took the occasion to release some amazing previously-censored polling information showing most Americans are wise to election fraud despite three years of unending propaganda.
We are fair, we are patient, but we are not stupid.
- How can we stop this insanity and get our country back?
- How can we protest when we’ll be arrested?
- How can we live safely in an inner city?
- Where can we put our hard-earned money?
- Where can we get true news?
- How do we teach our children?
- How do we avoid the next “booster” without losing our jobs?
- And finally, how can we “vote out the bastards” if our votes aren’t counted?
In a recent article, I described multiple ways ordinary Americans can fight back using our eyes, ears, mouths and wallets.
I pointed out good places to watch uncensored news – we’ll have to see how Tucker Carlson does with his new Twitter show. (Is Elon Musk the new beacon of honest reporting while suppressing free speech in other ways? Stay tuned.)
Americans are finally waking up to the insanity and have begun a nation-wide “quiet riot.”
We are boycotting news networks that have betrayed our trust. We are using conservative research sites to choose where to spend our money, reading labels to avoid products made in China and buying from local businesses and growers. We are moving our savings to smaller, regional banks.
Wherever we see woke corporations promoting drag shows, transgender insanity and satanism we quietly boycott them, costing Target, Anheuser Busch, and the LA Dodgers to lose billions of dollars in sales and stock value.
When possible, we quit corporations to avoid the shots and pulled our children from primary schools to teach them at home. Now we are leaving churches that promote LGBT policies.
We are no longer buying GOP “leadership” claims they are “fighting for America” when they allow insane spending and corruption to continue unabated.
We continue to work locally to protest insanity in city councils and school systems. We have dropped social media in favor of the real social media – actually talking with our family, friends and neighbors and sharing books, articles and videos that are getting wider and wider attention.
Perhaps most important is the need to support all efforts to end election fraud and clean up voter rolls. Encourage your state to drop the insanely corrupt ERIC system.
How about when we finally get our votes back we pass H.R.1, the “Lie Detector for Government Service Act,” that requires government employees at ALL LEVELS to declare they are working in the best interests of the American people and not for their personal profit?

California state senator urges parents to ‘flee California’
See also: California Democrats propose bill to confiscate parents’ children if they oppose gender change
State Senator Scott Wilk has issued a startling warning for parents, one for which I cannot think of any parallel in US history. Lest you consider him a minor local politician, keep in mind that a California state senator represents far more people than a member of Congress: almost one million constituents.
The reason the Senator warned his constituents with children to flee the state is:
California lawmakers in the State Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday moved forward with a measure that would require courts to consider a parent's acceptance of their child's gender identity in custody or visitation cases.
“As the mother of a trans child, it is jarring to know that TGI youth are at a higher risk of depression, mental health crises, self-harm and suicide than their cisgender peers,” said Assemblymember Lori Wilson, the bill's author, in a statement. “The TGI Youth Empowerment Act provides California the opportunity to take one step closer to building a safer, more dignified, and equitable world for TGI youth and their families.”
Senator Wilk sees this bill as an indicator of what’s ahead: (transcript via Grabien)
“I’m now in year 11 in the state legislature, and all the time we’re proposing policies to protect children. After 11 years, I’ve come to conclusion that we need to start protecting parents. That’s just not happening. I’ve been here and witnessed a full-frontal assault on charter schools, taking away parents’ choice in how their children are going to be educated, to the detriment particularly of children of color.
“In recent years we have put government bureaucrats between parents, children and doctors when it comes to medical care. And now we have this where if a parent does not support the ideology of the government, they’re going to be taken away from the home.
“Now, I agree with both Senator Wiener and Senator Laird that today it only involves divorce proceedings — and, frankly, a judge can already factor this in — but I can assure you it’s not going to end with divorce proceedings.
“In the past, when we’ve had these discussions and I’ve seen parental rights atrophied, I’ve encouraged people to keep fighting. I’ve changed my mind on that. If you love your children, you need to flee California. You need to flee.
“We’re moving towards the pathway of the ‘Handmaid’s Tale.’ California’s becoming the new Gilead and it just breaks my heart. I’m born and raised in this state. I love this state. I’m not going to stay in this state because it’s just too oppressive and I believe in freedom, and so I’m going to move to America when I leave the legislature.”
Taking custody of a child away from a parent because the parent does not want the child to be mutilated or permanently developmentally damaged with hormone-suppressing drugs is fully predictable if this measure becomes law. The language used by the bill's sponsor, Senator Wilson, that the bill is "one step closer..." reveals that a much larger agenda is at work.
If Senator Wilk’s warning isn’t ignored by the legacy media, it will be mercilessly mocked.
I take only slight comfort in the fact that Governor Gavin Newsom would have to sign this bill, if it passes both the Assembly and Senate, for it to become law. Given his obvious ambition to run for president, he would be loath to hand an issue to the Republican nominee: Newsom signed a law to take a child away from a parent if the parent doesn’t support transgender surgery.
Of course, Newsom would receive tremendous blowback from the trans claque, who are well-funded, well-organized, and ruthless. But that might serve him as a Sister Souljah moment to create a national image as a moderate, reasonable Democrat and help neutralize the toxicity of California’s politics in other parts of the nation.
