America is at 'PEAK wokeness'; pendulum is ALREADY swinging back



Woke progressivism has taken over far too much of America, from our schools to our medical establishment, as well as our government.

Common sense would solve this, but unfortunately, common sense is not all that common. However, Glenn Beck has yet to give up hope.

“Are you concerned that the balance is not something we’re finding right now?” Stu Burguiere asks Glenn.

“No, because I think it’s coming,” Glenn says. “Until the medical community says, ‘You know what, enough is enough. This COVID thing, it was good here, here, and here. It was really bad here, here and here, and we got to stop just saying that 'oh, now science knows.’”

“That’s happened throughout all of mankind, and then science learns and they’re like, ‘Oh, well, now we know,’” he says adding, “it’s already happening.”

“It’s just that there’s so much money involved at the establishment level and they’re just holding on by their fingernails and they’ll pull all of us down to stop from drowning themselves,” he continues.

While the establishment is holding on for dear life, more and more people are waking up to just how ridiculous America has gotten.

“We are at the wire. We are coming around the fourth turn,” Glenn says, adding, “I think we are at peak wokeness.”

“We hit the peak, and then it starts going the opposite way.”

'Merit,' 'individualism' are rooted in 'whiteness,' according to 'anti-racist' training reportedly required for LA teachers, staff



Concepts such as "merit" and "individualism" are rooted "whiteness" and must be "challenged," according to required "anti-racist" training for teachers and staff in the Los Angeles Unified School District, Fox News reported.

What are the details?

The cable network said the L.A. school district required all employees to take part in "implicit/unconscious bias training" from Tyrone Howard, a critical race theory advocate and professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, before the 2021-2022 school year.

Fox News said it obtained training materials through a California Public Records Act request and that it instructed teachers and staff to work toward being "anti-racist" by challenging whiteness at school — for example, through concepts such as "merit" and "individualism."

"This idea that white is the standard, white is the norm, white is our default has to be challenged," Howard said in the training video, according to the cable network.

For example, merit or meritocracy "assumes that each person operates and achieves based on his or her own personal capacity," the training handout reads, Fox News said.

"It incorporates the notion that the work put forth, the effort invested, explains why some groups and individuals do well and others do not," the materials also said, according to the cable network. "It does not consider historical factors or account for opportunities, advantages, and privileges to which some groups have access both historically and in the present."

"The idea of meritocracy, I think we have to challenge that because we have to recognize that some groups have had much more opportunities, some groups have had far more advantages, and some groups have certain types of privileges that other groups have not had," Howard added in the video, Fox News said.

The cable network — citing the training handout — said individualism "proposes that each person is responsible for his or her outcomes. It is very much tied to merit, wherein group responsibility and accountability are not goals. Personal success and achievement are the goals. This belief operates from a survival-of-the-fittest approach that stresses singular pursuit and accomplishment."

Howard also said in the video that "the notion of individualism runs counter" to many LAUSD students’ "own cultural norms, which say ‘it’s not about me, it’s about we,'" Fox News continued.

In addition, the training handout discusses dismantling the "myth of meritocracy" by outlining particular "microaggressions," such as the statements, "Everyone can succeed in the society if they work hard enough" along with "men and women have equal opportunities for achievement," the cable network said.

LAUSD employees who took the training also were required to "identify the specific ways the constructs of privilege, whiteness, merit, and individualism may be present in your setting" and "determine the immediate changes you will personally make, small or large, to promote increased racial and cultural sensitivity, inclusiveness, and awareness in your work," Fox News said.

'I've chosen myself': Kim Kardashian explains pending divorce from Kanye West



Kim Kardashian says she is all about herself.

The social media superstar explained in a new interview that her pending divorce from Kanye West stems from her decision to become a hyper-individual whose No. 1 priority is herself.

What did Kardashian say?

Despite having been married to West for seven years and mothering four kids with him, Kardashian told Vogue she is now about "Team Me."

"For so long, I did what made other people happy," Kardashian explained. "And I think in the last two years I decided, I’m going to make myself happy. And that feels really good."

"And even if that created changes and caused my divorce, I think it’s important to be honest with yourself about what really makes you happy. I’ve chosen myself. I think it’s okay to choose you," she continued. "My 40s are about being Team Me. I’m going to eat well. I’m going to work out. I’m going to have more fun, spend more time with my kids and the people who make me happy. I’m going to put my phone down."

Kardashian's bizarre mission statement comes after she and West filed for divorce last year. Though the petition for divorce cited "irreconcilable differences," West has publicly stated several times that he desires to fight for his marriage.

Kardashian, however, has blamed West for "trying to control and manipulate" the situation, claiming he is "causing further pain for all."

After Vogue's interview with Kardashian was published, West posted on Instagram: "GOD PLEASE BRING OUR FAMILY BACK TOGETHER."

This writer's perspective

Kardashian's decision to join "Team Me" might win applause from a secular culture that chases (ultimately temporary) happiness, but choosing yourself is downright depressing, especially when it causes you to celebrate divorcing the person with whom you have declared to relinquish yourself in a covenant marriage.

Marriage is meant to mature someone; two people promise themselves to each other through easy times and tough times, sickness and health, riches and poverty. I do not assume to know anything about Kardashian's marriage to West, but her admission about choosing herself, which she admitted "caused [her] divorce," and joining "Team Me" is a tragic sign that suggests Kardashian was not serious about her marriage covenant.

Before I committed my life to another person, I was counseled that throughout my marriage I would be married to "several different people." Of course, I am going to be married to the same person my entire life — but people change. Everyone goes through ups and downs; the seasons of life leave their impact. But it is up to each partner to continually commit themselves to one another.

Marriage is a covenant, not a contract. We should not leave when we are not "happy" or feel like we are not getting out of it what we want.

Though some situations may be cause for divorce (abandonment, violence, etc.), what is good and true and beautiful is when two people look beyond their own selfish desires and give themselves up for the sake of others: Their partners, their children, their communities.

May we commit not to join "Team Me," but rather build up others (especially our spouse, children, and community) through the outpouring of ourselves.
