    Chicago recently initiated a policy of paying former gang members to act as "peacekeepers" in high-crime neighborhoods. Despite the presence of the so-called peacekeepers, the city experienced "tragic numbers" of shootings and homicides over the Memorial Day Weekend. In fact, the peacekeepers may actually have made things worse, given that one of them was arrested and charged with robbery and assault on Friday night.

    None of that should come as a surprise to Locke's supporters. As we've been pointing out for years, the real peacekeepers are the police! https://www.johnlocke.org/research/22936/

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?
