    Actor Isaiah Washington announced his early retirement from acting on Friday, declaring that the role he played in the 2022 film "Corsicana" would stand as his last hurrah in the entertainment industry.

    Washington, best known for his three-season stint as Dr. Preston Burke on long-running medical drama series "Grey's Anatomy," made the announcement in a lengthy tweet that was subsequently picked up and published by entertainment site Page Six.

    "It is with a heavy heart and a sense of relief that I am announcing my early retirement from the entertainment industry today," Washington began, adding, "Those who have been Following/Witnessing my journey here on Twatter since 2011 all know that I have fought the good fight, but it seems that the haters, provocateurs and the Useful Idiots have won."

    The actor made it clear that he was concerned over the future of the United States, saying that he wanted no part of the things that divide Americans down racial and political lines.

    "I'm no longer interested in the back and forth regarding a 'color construct' that keeps us human beings divided nor am I interested in politics or anything vitriolic. I will be traveling this great country before it falls into Socialism and then Communism. Until then, know that this Frederick Douglass Conservative will keep his powder dry and loves you all!" he said.

    Washington concluded with a hearty thanks to the fans who have supported his work throughout his career, explaining that "Corsicana" would be his last film and promising to continue to share his post-acting life with those who followed his social media accounts.

    "I am truly grateful for your support over the years. It looks like CORSICANA #CorsicanaMovie may be the last time you see me as an Actor born here in America," Washington said. "Just know that I will be posting a few pictures of my retirement shenanigans here and there, but until then. Be safe out there. Your loved ones love you and need you. SALUTE!"

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?
  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.
  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.
  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?
