'MEN are coming back!’ – San Francisco 49ers lineman flashes MAGA hat during postgame set



When wokeness became the only acceptable ideology, the NFL fell in line, but that doesn’t mean all the players did.

On Sunday night, following a victory over the Dallas Cowboys, 49ers defensive lineman Nick Bosa flashed his MAGA hat during the postgame set.

According to Jason Whitlock, Bosa’s stunt was courageous — especially when you consider that he plays for the team that represents the most liberal city in the country.

When a reporter asked Bosa about his hat, his courage only continued.

“It would appear to be a political statement,” a reporter said curtly.

“I’m not gonna talk too much about it, but I think it’s an important time” is all the linebacker had to say back.

“That’s all that needed to be said because the hat says it all,” says Jason, who agrees with Bosa that we’re living in an incredibly important time.

“It's a time where men need to come out of the closet and stand 10 toes down on what they believe and what they stand for, and that's what I think we're seeing in the sports world,” he continues, pointing to Texas Tech kicker Reese Burkhardt pulling up his jersey to reveal a homemade pro-Trump T-shirt after scoring a touchdown.

Jason also points to “Harrison Butker, the Chiefs kicker out campaigning for Josh Hawley and expressing his Catholic faith.”

“Men are coming back and standing on what they believe,” he says.

Aiden Buzzetti: Bad teachers 'make children ideological slaves'



Aiden Buzzetti is the president of the 1776 Project, and he believes parents need to take their child’s education into their own hands.

“It’s important to realize that not every teacher is bad, but the ones that are bad disregard all of the rules. They want to make children their ideological slaves,” Buzzetti tells James Poulos, adding, “This trend cannot continue.”

This creates a never-ending cycle, as the children who’ve been indoctrinated will grow up to be teachers who indoctrinate.

“It seems like they’ve built a perpetual-motion machine,” Poulos notes.

Buzzetti and the 1776 Project have been working to change the political landscape of school boards in order to stop this.

“Right now, especially here in Texas, where we’ve done a fair amount of elections — the school boards were dominated by progressive parent groups,” Buzzetti explains. “If you have a group of parents who are willing to stand shoulder-to-should with you and make the case that something needs to change, you’re actually laying the groundwork for something substantive.”

Though 80% of kids in America attend public schools, there’s been an explosion in alternative schooling options across America.

“There’s more opportunities for parents to go to private schools, or charter schools and religious schools, even one of the classical Christian associations had their membership triple over the course of the pandemic,” Buzzetti explains. “That means parents are taking their kids out of a public school and seeing what their options are.”

However, Buzzetti believes it's extremely important to continue to fight for change within the public school system and not abandon it.

“It’s important that we stand firm on public schools, that we don’t necessarily abandon them,” he says.

Bill Maher ignites new controversy when he tells Joe Rogan THIS



Despite what you’ve heard, woke and liberal are not synonymous. We may disagree with both ideologies, but one is equivalent to insanity (surely you know which one we’re talking about).

One person who understands this concept is Bill Maher – a non-woke liberal who isn’t really accepted by the right or the left.

Recently he joined Joe Rogan on "The Joe Rogan Experience" to discuss this very subject – a subject Dave Rubin finds “worth repeating.”

“You're like a '90s liberal,” Rogan said, “like liberals back when they were more reasonable before they became leftists.”

Now “if you want to be on the team, you’ve got to subscribe to the most fringe ideas,” he continues.

Maher agrees, adding that “liberal is a different animal than woke.”

“You can be woke, with all the nonsense that that now implies,” says Maher, “but don't say that somehow is an extension of liberalism…because it's most often actually an undoing of liberalism.”

One of the ideas that separates Maher from the woke crowd is the fact that he has “always believed … in a color-blind society – that the goal is to not see race at all, anywhere, for any reason.”

Unfortunately, leftists “believe race is first and foremost the thing you should always see everywhere,” says Maher.

Rogan agrees, sharing his thoughts on the woke agenda: “I think I understand their idea,” he tells Maher. “The idea is that the society is imbalanced, and so in order to address that imbalance, you're going to prop up as many minorities as possible, make as many opportunities for minorities as possible, and get it to a position where … white people are the minority … and through that, somehow or another, you'll achieve equality.”

A solid synopsis from Rogan that sheds light on the warped wokeist philosophy that inequality is remedied by creating more inequality.

“I think the color-blind way is the way to really, truly achieve equality,” says Rogan, “and to truly judge people just on their merits.”

Dave Rubin loves the conversation but feels he must make something clear.

“If you, Bill Maher, and you, Joe Rogan, want to live in that color-blind society, you cannot vote for Democrats.”

Is THIS the most dangerous university in America?



There’s no doubt that higher education has been infiltrated by ideology — more specifically, by leftist ideology. However, Patrick Gray believes that higher education can be saved — and the University of Austin is a prime example.

The University of Austin is a new school that has proclaimed a dedication to freedom of thought and discourse. The school was co-founded by ex-New York Times journalist Bari Weiss.

Gray, who will be a professor at the school, tells James Poulos of "Zero Hour" just why he has faith in it.

“We’ve been overwhelmed by student response. We’ve brought in students from super high-end institutions — you know, Oxford, the Sorbonne, Harvard, you know, Yale — coming in wanting to take classes with us,” he tells Poulos.

The school will offer classes called “Forbidden Courses,” which will focus on classes that your average institution wouldn’t offer.

Gray offers an example of one of the courses, which is on science and religion. He explains that the course delves into whether the two can be reconciled, what they have in common, and how they’ve influenced each other over time.

Other courses include questions about reactionaries, the biology of gender, and conservatism.

Poulos is curious how academics like Gray plan to “protect” students “without just kind of getting sucked into 'safe space' culture all over again.”

“When we look at kind of the very rapid rise of a quasi-totalitarian identity politics throughout universities, that is a response to a vacuum, a power vacuum, and a lack of direction,” Gray explains. “Rather than saying we’re going to guarantee that anyone is free to do absolutely anything, total freedom of expression, we are going to have a clearly defined mission.”

Gray says the school plans to make sure that mission is not political.

“Our mission is to arrive at the truth.”

Anti-woke liberal Bill Maher says THIS is when he KNEW the left had lost its way



In a day of political tribalism, Bill Maher is a bit of a rarity. He claims he’s an anti-woke liberal, which is probably why Dave Rubin says he “kind of [makes] sense but also [doesn’t] make sense.”

“How liberals can be on the wrong side of this issue is the biggest mind boggler for me,” he told Sharon Osbourne on an episode of “Club Random with Bill Maher.”

What is this mind-boggling issue Maher speaks of?

It actually dates all the way back to September 11, 2001, when the United States suffered the worst terrorist attack in the country’s history.

Maher apparently criticized the part of traditional Muslim culture that discourages education for women and demands they cover every part of their bodies, including their faces.

“Somehow when I criticize traditional Muslim societies for the way they engage in what you have to call gender apartheid – putting f****** bags over women's heads … I'm the bad guy,” he says.

The early wokeists apparently called him “Islamophobic” – or “whatever bullsh** word you wanna call it,” he adds.

“That’s when I knew they had lost their way,” he admits.

Billionaire Citadel CEO Ken Griffin blasts schools for indoctrinating children into 'crushing' woke ideology, says son was punished for giving Asian student a compliment



Billionaire Ken Griffin – the CEO of the investment firm Citadel – slammed schools indoctrinating children and for pushing a "woke ideology."

Griffin made the statements during a conversation with Miami Mayor Francis Suarez on Monday.

"My children went to a phenomenal school in Chicago … but their indoctrination in woke ideology was crushing," Griffin said during the talk hosted by The Economic Club of Miami.

"They came home very confused about whether or not the United States was a good country," Griffin stated.

Griffin revealed that his son was punished for giving an Asian student a compliment.

"And they came home confused about what they could or couldn’t say to a student who was Asian or otherwise of color." he continued. "My son was reprimanded for telling an Asian student he was good at math – for stereotyping."

Griffin pointed out, “And it’s unbelievable to see how that destroys the minds of children who are otherwise innocent and good and don’t think about these kinds of things."

In June, Griffin announced that Citadel's global headquarters was being relocated from Chicago to Florida. He intends on constructing a $1 billion Citadel office in Miami.

Griffin – who has a net worth of more than $32 billion – is now the richest person in Florida.

Politics played a role in Griffin's move.

Griffin donated nearly $60 million to federal Republican candidates in the midterm elections, roughly half of the over $128 million that George Soros gave to Democrats.

Earlier this week, Griffin endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president in the 2024 election.

"I don’t know what he’s going to do. It’s a huge personal decision," Griffin told Politico of DeSantis. "He has a tremendous record as governor of Florida, and our country would be well-served by him as president."

Bloomberg reported in September, "Griffin said he 'will definitively be involved in the presidential race,' and won’t rule out a move to Washington. If called upon — particularly if the U.S. is in a recession — he’s prepared to join the cabinet of DeSantis, whom he first met in Citadel’s Chicago office during his initial gubernatorial run. One option may be Treasury secretary, a position he said the Trump administration had asked him to discuss, but he declined."

Griffin may not want to move to Washington, D.C. because he said his children are thriving in Florida. He said the Sunshine State has "great schools, a great environment, and your streets are safe and clean."

"Watching them transform here in school in Miami is perhaps the greatest gift Miami has given my family," Griffin said on Monday.

He added that Florida is a "great value."

San Francisco public schools drop 'chief' from job titles so as not to offend Native Americans



Public schools in San Francisco are dropping the word "chief" from job titles because of the word's connotation with Native Americans, school officials said.

No longer will division chiefs be referred to as "chiefs" in the San Francisco Unified School District after a Wednesday decision to retire the term, spokesperson Gentle Blythe told the San Francisco Chronicle. The decision will apply to all of the school district's 10,000 employees.

“While there are many opinions on the matter, our leadership team agreed that, given that Native American members of our community have expressed concerns over the use of the title, we are no longer going to use it,” Blythe said.

The school district will need to come up with a new word to replace job titles like "chief technology officer" or "chief of staff." There are at least thirteen positions in the district that will be renamed. Blythe emphasized to the Chronicle that new job titles will not reflect a demotion for anyone.

“By changing how we refer to our division heads we are in no way diminishing the indispensable contributions of our district central service leaders,” Blythe said.

The word "chief" does not have Native American roots. It is an English word borrowed from an Old French word (chef) meaning "leader," derived from the Latin "capus," which means captain or chieftain. In its noun form, chief means the leader or head of a group of people.

But regardless of what words mean or where they come from, some left-wing indigenous rights groups have protested the use of "chief" for job titles or sports team names, claiming it is racist or otherwise a form of cultural appropriation.

This would not be the first time SFUSD has bent over backward to appease the easily offended. Last year, the school district produced a plan to rename schools that had been named after historical figures associated with "slavery, genocide, colonization, exploitation and oppression," including George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. School officials even sought to drop the acronym "VAPA" — which stands for Visual and Performing Arts — because "acronyms are a symptom of white supremacy culture."

Parent outraged over the San Francisco school board's culture war and lingering frustrations from how the schools handled the COVID-19 pandemic led to the recall of three school board members in February. Even so, Wednesday's announcement shows that SFUSD administrators are still fighting a war on words.

In search of a new title for "chiefs," the district might consider "whiteface" — a word for the highest-ranking clowns in the circus.
