Billionaire Oprah Winfrey succeeded in teaching a new generation of graduates how to think "woke" and speak the correct "woke" language during a commencement speech at a Tennessee State University graduation ceremony.
She covered a dozen terms from the woke lexicon, mis-defining climate change, systemic racism, police brutality, gun violence, voting rights, women's rights, The Cold War, womens’ rights and banned books.

"We have let things rot for so long that, at this point, relying primarily on force to restore order would require a degree of violence far greater than what people realize and what is politically feasible.

I know people on the Internet will say that it doesn't matter and that we should just do it, but the reality is that most of the people in charge are not prepared to use that kind of force and neither would most ordinary people if they saw ...
Even Marine Le Pen’s recent statements track this line: personal Islamic practice is compatible with the Republic; replacing French law with Sharia is not. French Muslims who are simply citizens practicing their "religious faith" “have no reason to worry” about a Le Pen election victory.
But can one be a practicing Muslim without demanding and practicing Sharia?
