Far-Left Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson Can’t Even Stick to Her Own Woke Boycott

Leftists love a good boycott until, of course, it interferes with something they enjoy.

Last year, far-left Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson virtue-signaled her anti-capitalism “pro-labor” views to her base and urged them to boycott coffee giant Starbucks.

In November, while speaking at a Starbucks Workers United rally outside the recently closed Reserve Roastery on Capitol Hill, Wilson said, “That is why I am proud to join them on their picket line and proud to say loud and clear, I am not buying Starbucks and you should not either.”

In a recent interview, however, Wilson admitted she can’t even stay committed to her own performative woke directives.

During an interview published on Wednesday with FOX 13, Seattle co-anchor Hana Kim asked Wilson if she still supports the boycott.

“I had the pleasure of visiting the Pike Place Market Starbucks a little while ago, and I ordered, I think it was a blueberry muffin latte that was like a staff creation.”

“I guess I broke my boycott,” Wilson continued.

“And yeah, but I, you know, I don’t know. What do you want me to say about that?”

Wilson’s decision to prioritize wokeness over the economic interests of her community’s people has had real-world consequences.

Wilson, however, has laughed at the notion that millionaires are leaving the city over new and higher taxes supported by her and her cohorts, saying ‘Bye!’ as she shrugged it off glibly.

Democrat Candidates Hate on Trump with Ease but Struggle to Talk Policy

Democrat candidates across the country have been speaking out against President Donald Trump with ease but appear to struggle to answer basic policy questions on the campaign trail.

Democrat lawmakers and candidates alike have hurled insults at President Trump’s administration and the commander-in-chief himself. Referring to Trump as a dictator, Nazi, fascist, Hitler, evil person, murderer, and more is simply par for the course. However, when it comes to their own positions and policies some Democrats appear to struggle.

In New Jersey, Democrat congressional candidate Rebecca Bennett was asked if “people should stop trying to kill the President” given the numerous assassination attempts in recent years — the latest incident unfolding at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

She could not even answer that simple question, remaining silent while a staffer waved a sign in the questioner’s face.

Meanwhile, over in New Hampshire, congressional Democrat Stefany Shaheen refused to condemn scandal-plagued Graham Platner.

Pride Month Propaganda Pushed Hard in Children’s Programming: Disney World, Cocomelon, Peppa Pig, Sesame Street, and Teletubbies Target Toddlers with LGBT Agenda

As “Pride Month 2026” kicks off, major children’s entertainment brands are once again flooding social media and theme parks with rainbow messaging aimed squarely at preschoolers and toddlers.

The deliberate indoctrination of the youngest kids who can’t even tie their shoes yet has been going on every June (and in some cases, year-round) for years.

Disney is rolling out the rainbows across its Florida parks for the entire month.

At EPCOT, the rainbow mural is back outside Connections Cafe. Hollywood Studios features a Mickey Balloon Pride photo op with 11 different Pride-flag balloons. Magic Kingdom has the Mickey Pride mural and a Pride Slushy at Astrofizz. Merchandise and special drinks are everywhere, Breitbart News reports.

The ultra-popular YouTube kids’ channel Cocomelon, watched by millions of babies and toddlers, posted celebrating Pride on Instagram.

Massachusetts Public School District Permits Sikh Students to Carry Knives While Banning Weapons for All Other Students

Hopkinton Public Schools in Massachusetts has a policy that carves out a specific religious exception to its strict no-weapons rule, allowing initiated Sikh students to carry a ceremonial knife known as a kirpan on school grounds, while prohibiting knives, guns, replicas, and other weapons for every other student.

The policy, formally created in 2024, makes Hopkinton the first school district in the state to explicitly accommodate the kirpan for Sikh students.

These policies have received new scrutiny following the sentencing of Vickrum Digwa, a 23-year-old Sikh man convicted of murdering 18-year-old British university student Henry Nowak in Southampton, England, on December 3.

Digwa stabbed Nowak five times with an 8-inch dagger he carried in addition to a kirpan.

Under the district’s general weapons policy, possession of any “dangerous weapon” is banned on school premises, at school-sponsored events, or on school transport. This includes guns, knives, pocket knives, slingshots, brass knuckles, explosives, ammunition, and even replicas or toys that resemble weapons.

Violations can lead to suspension, expulsion, police referral, and possible exclusion by the School Committee.

However, the policy includes a dedicated section titled “Considerations for Recognized Religious Artifacts Resembling Weapons.”

It directs that sacred religious articles must be approved annually before the start of each school year or before the student begins carrying the item. The district evaluates exceptions based on school safety and reserves the right to suspend permission during specific events.

The Truth About Graham Platner’s Senate Candidacy – He Was Not Inspired to Run for Office, He Was RECRUITED by a Wealthy DSA Couple Who Have Done This Before

If you believe Democrats and the media, you probably think that Graham Platner of Maine is a genuine, blue-collar, oyster fisherman who decided to run for U.S. Senate and has run a grassroots campaign.

That is not the truth. His entire candidacy is based on a lie.

Graham Platner was recruited to run for office by a young, wealthy couple who are members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), and this is what they do. They have recruited and groomed candidates in the past in the same exact way.

When they first approached Graham Platner, he didn’t even want to do it. They had to convince him.

The New York Post reports:

Meet the champagne socialist duo who groomed rich kid Graham Platner into a ‘working-class’ candidate

Graham Platner has done a better job of hiding his privileged roots than the Nazi tattoo on his chest — a move which is by design.

The embattled Maine candidate for US Senate is vocal about his disabled-war-veteran, rugged-oyster-farmer, “working-class” persona — and less so about his attendance at an $80,000-a-year boarding school, his lawyer father, or his major architect grandfather.

That’s because he’s been coached on how to present himself, molded to present a specific image — and, in a sense, manufactured.

The truth is he was discovered and coached by a pair of Ivy League-educated radical Democratic socialists, replicating a playbook they’ve used in Nebraska and Iowa. That revelation could be more damaging than the tattoo, sexting women other than his wife, blasting fellow veterans and admitting to masturbating in a port-a-potty, as it strikes at the heart of Platner’s alleged authenticity…

That under-the-radar team are a couple, Yale Law School grad Daniel Moraff and his fiancée, Leanne Fan, an academic with stints at Harvard and the proudly radical University of California-Berkeley.

The pair had originally met while working for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in 2020 and are hardcore members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). They have previously been behind candidates Dan Osborn, running for Senate in Nebraska, and Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.), a member of the Keystone State congressional delegation since 2023 and part of the DSA “Squad,” alongside Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).

Platner actually admitted this to Jon Stewart during an interview in April.

From TAG 24:

“Last summer, end of July, some people came to my house,” Platner told Stewart while discussing his decision to run for office. “They had been in Maine for a few months… looking for someone to run for US Senate against Susan Collins.”

“They were looking specifically for, like, a kind of working class person on, kind of, working class economic policies,” he continued…

“Yep! And then they looked me up, and they saw that I donated to Bernie Sanders, and they were like ‘Oh!’” Platner continued. “They literally came to my house and said, ‘We think you should run.’”

AND THERE IT IS: NBC News Casually Admits Mail-in Ballots Always Put Democrats Ahead as Far Left Candidate Gains on Spencer Pratt in LA

Here we go again.

If you have been following the race for mayor of Los Angeles, you have probably noticed that Spencer Pratt’s lead is slowly being eroded and Nithya Raman, the far left Democratic Socialist (communist) candidate keeps gaining.

The explanation for this is very simple. It’s fraud. Raman is benefiting from the state’s system of mail-in ballots, which SOMEHOW always benefits the left. Isn’t it fascinating how ballots that are tabulated after the election always benefit just one side?

NBC News recently admitted this on the air, without a hint of irony.

REPORTER: Why would those votes, we don’t know what they’re gonna be, but why would the mail-in votes, the later votes, break for Raman, possibly?

STEVE KORNACKI: Because that is the pattern in California with this system. We’ve seen this now probably for about a decade out there. It’s those votes that get tabulated after election day, they tend to be almost always or heavily, heavily Democratic. We’ve seen this in congressional races in California now over the last decade or so where on election night, we’ve had cases where, a number of them where the Republican candidate is ahead on election night and then it’s a process over days, sometimes even weeks in these key congressional races where just with every one of the updates like the one you just saw right here in LA, the Democrats get closer and closer and closer.

7 Republicans vote no on FISA extension

Seven Republican senators sided with Democrats early Friday to vote against advancing an extension of warrantless spy powers set to expire next week, complicating efforts to keep those powers alive.

The procedural vote failed by a vote of 47-52 after Sens. Josh Hawley (Mo.), Sen. John Kennedy (La.), Mike Lee (Utah), Rand Paul (Ky.), Eric Schmitt (Mo.), Rick Scott (Fla.) and Tommy Tuberville (Ala.) broke with their GOP colleagues.

Some of the pushback was attributed to President Trump’s tapping of Federal Housing Finance Agency chief Bill Pulte to serve as acting director of national intelligence, which received backlash from both sides of the aisle.

Lee brushed off speculation that anger over Pulte’s appointment was the motivator behind the defectors who voted with Democrats, instead pointing to privacy concerns.

“FISA 702 reauthorization failed because it did not contain a warrant requirement for spying on Americans,” the Utah Republican wrote on the social platform X. “The people who spied on the Trump campaign, Members of Congress, and countless other Americans hate the idea.”

He added, “Come back with warrant requirement, and we’ll pass the bill.”

The motion to proceed would have paved the way for enhanced federal surveillance authorities under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) before it lapses June 12.

Trump’s decision to name Pulte to replace outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard triggered fights on Capitol Hill.

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Democrats could not support extending surveillance authorities with Pulte in a position to access sensitive intelligence information that could be used against Trump’s political foes.

“I thought I had gotten to the stage where I could no longer be shocked by Donald Trump’s choices, but this may be the most outrageous of all,” he told MS NOW, speaking of the recent appointment.

Every Senate Democrat except Sen. John Fetterman (Pa.) voted against the motion, as they argued Pulte could not be trusted to oversee the nation’s intelligence apparatus, among other reasons.

Where’s the Beef? A Long-Gone Livestock-Eating Bug Is Back, and I have a Theory As to Why.

It turns out that a flesh-eating larva, the screwworm, not seen in the U.S. since 1966, has found its way back onto livestock ranches in southern Texas, and I smell a stink badger in the perfume aisle.

The infected calf (rumors have it that a second cow has been located, but I cannot yet verify this report) is on a ranch very close to the Mexican border. Authorities have set up a 12-mile quarantine zone around the ranch.

You may recall the feds arrested three Chinese scientists spies at the Detroit airport, one of whom was busted for sneaking in a fungus that could be used to wipe out our crops, and another was caught sneaking in roundworms, which are also devastating to mammals, including livestock.  

Here’s the fun part: Texas authorities arrested six camo-clad Chinese nationals with backpacks on a ranch in Texas on May 26, allegedly with the help of Mexican cartels. Less than a week later, the first case of screwworm was discovered. Somehow, that didn’t make the big Operation Mockingbird headlines. 

We do not yet know what the authorities found in those aforementioned backpacks.

The ranch where the Chinese were discovered is about 41 miles away from the ranch where the first infected calf was located, roughly a day-and-a-half walk. Both ranches are located very close to the Mexican border, in an area where few Chinese illegal border-rushers have been apprehended in the open-border years of the Biden administration.

Sunny Hostin Admits She Hates America, Declares Country a ‘Failed Experiment’

People often use the term “hate” rather loosely these days.

“I hate the Buffalo Bills,” or “I hate pepperoni,” or “I hate pumpkin pie” are various forms of “hate” you may hear.

The term has, frankly, lost a lot of meaning, not unlike the term “racist.”

But there’s a different, much more real sort of hate that exists out there. It’s not the sort of hate you just casually announce or throw around. It’s the sort of genuine hatred that emanates from one’s actions and words.

And it doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to figure out that “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin really does hate America for not being the far-left fever dream that she seems to want.

Just watch this latest clip, courtesy of the Media Research Center’s Associate Editor Nicholas Fondacaro, that’s making the rounds showing how festive Hostin is in the lead-up to America’s 250th birthday celebration:

“And so I think we have a very complicated history here,” Hostin said. “I think it’s a very complicated country.”

Honestly, had she stopped here with her Debbie Downer act, it would’ve been defensible. History is complicated. Nobody’s arguing that it isn’t.

But of course, Hostin just couldn’t help herself.

“And at this point, I am embarrassed at our government,” she said. “I’m embarrassed at our lack of health care. I’m embarrassed on the assault on the press. I’m embarrassed of our Congress. I’m embarrassed by the criminal felon president that is in the Oval Office that has a UFC cage on the White House lawn.”

Obamacare failed. Former President Joe Biden’s social media pressure about the coronavirus vaccine was worse than anything Trump may or may not have done against the press. I’ll actually give her Congress being embarrassing, since people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar are in it. “Criminal felon president” is a cute slogan, but missing crucial context. And the UFC is gnarly.

What else you got, Sunny?

“I’m embarrassed about all those things,” she droned on. “And I’m also embarrassed at how America is now seen across the globe. I don’t think that many Americans understand that we are part of a wonderful global community. And when you look at our allies, our allies are now giving us a one-star rating as a country.

Central Command Announces Strikes in Goruk and Qeshm Island After Iranian Drone and Missile Strikes – Iran Threatens to Escalate, Says Negotiations Are “At a Deadlock”

The US and Iran traded missile strikes, with Iran targeting neighboring Gulf countries and shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, on Friday, as negotiations to end the war stall. 

Mohsen Rezaei, military adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, told CNN on Friday, “The negotiations are at a deadlock and (US President Donald) Trump must break this deadlock.”

“The ball is in Trump’s court,” Rezaei added. He further threatened that Iran will “drag the war” beyond the region “by attacking these other American bases that we have been attacking so far.”

After intercepting six Iranian missiles launched in the Strait of Hormuz,  “U.S. forces subsequently struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island to defend against further maritime attacks,” Central Command said in a statement late Friday, releasing video from the strikes.

“Initial assessments indicate six of the missiles launched by Iran were intercepted and a seventh did not reach its intended target. There are currently no reports of harm to U.S. personnel, and Iranian claims of damaging U.S. 5th fleet headquarters in Bahrain are false,” Central Command said. “CENTCOM forces remain vigilant and postured to continue responding to unwarranted Iranian aggression in self-defense.”
