Just like woke leftism took over our universities and institutions, it also <a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/commentary/george-soross-prosecutors-wage-war-law-and-order">spread its tentacles</a> into our criminal justice system, prioritizing leniency and bail reform over law and order. The failure of leftist criminal justice reform has shown us that what’s true of wokeness in the classroom and boardroom is also true of wokeness on the street: the average American suffers so that leftist activists can feel better about themselves. 
Woke city leaders and soft-on-crime district attorneys put Americans in harm&#8217;s way for the sake of their ideology. Criminals who should be behind bars are often set free to again terrorize the streets thanks to lenient sentences or low bail. 
This issue was on full display recently when a young Trump administration staffer was brutally beaten by a group of delinquents while defending his girlfriend from an attempted carjacking in the nation’s capital. The victim of the attack was Ed Coristine, 19, who gained notoriety by going by the social media moniker “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-staffer-big-balls-hailed-as-hero-after-musk-says-he-saved-woman-from-gang-in-d-c?author=Tim+Pearce&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Admin+Staffer+%E2%80%98Big+Balls%E2%80%99+Hailed+As+Hero+After+Musk+Says+He+Saved+Woman+From+%E2%80%98Gang%E2%80%99+In+D.C.">Big Balls</a>” and working on Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency project.
According to a report from CBS News, Coristine and his girlfriend were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-staffer-big-balls-hailed-as-hero-after-musk-says-he-saved-woman-from-gang-in-d-c?author=Tim+Pearce&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Admin+Staffer+%E2%80%98Big+Balls%E2%80%99+Hailed+As+Hero+After+Musk+Says+He+Saved+Woman+From+%E2%80%98Gang%E2%80%99+In+D.C.">threatened</a> in the early morning hours by around 10 teenagers who said they wanted to take his car. Acting quickly, “Big Balls” pushed his girlfriend into the vehicle to protect her from the gang and faced the attackers alone. 
President Donald Trump and former Trump adviser Elon Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1952836498971344926">commented</a> on Coristine’s bravery, with the president <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114977985620971126">blasting</a> D.C.’s soft-on-crime policies that lead to teenagers “randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released.” 
As Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/america-needs-big-balls-not-mahmoud-khalil">pointed out</a>, Coristine was ripped apart by the legacy media just weeks ago for working for DOGE and for going by the name “Big Balls” on social media. The legacy media were <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/teen-doge-staffer-big-balls-left-trump-administration-rcna214900">outraged</a> that “Big Balls,” a 19-year-old kid, was looking through government systems and identifying waste and fraud. 
“But it turns out that Edward Coristine isn’t just a young genius who is capable of looking at budgetary numbers and figuring out where the waste, fraud, and abuse are. It turns out he is an amazing dude,” Shapiro <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/america-needs-big-balls-not-mahmoud-khalil">said</a>. 
Masculinity should be celebrated because it&#8217;s real men who show up to fight the bad guys and push back against the wokeness that has seeped into our institutions. The world needs more brave men who are willing to stand up against the Left’s craziness and fight for what’s right. 
Real men don&#8217;t back down from a fight — whether they&#8217;re facing down criminals in the streets or exposing government waste in Washington. This is the kind of unyielding masculinity that <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/collections/?utm_campaign=big-balls&amp;utm_content=20250808&amp;utm_source=editorial">Jeremy&#8217;s Razors</a> was built for: men who refuse to cave to the woke mob and stand firm in their convictions.
Speaking of standing firm, now&#8217;s the perfect time to lock in a year&#8217;s worth of legendary shaves. The Jeremy&#8217;s <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/products/gen2-p5-1year-kit-1?selling_plan=3795681493?utm_campaign=big-balls&amp;utm_content=20250808&amp;utm_source=editorial">Precision 5 Razor 1-Year Bundle is on sale now</a> — because real men don&#8217;t just stand up to criminals, they also refuse to fund woke razor companies that lecture them about &#8220;toxic masculinity.&#8221; With 25 razor cartridges featuring barber-grade blades, a precision trimmer for clean lines &amp; tight corners, plus a sturdy, ergonomic handle, you&#8217;ll have everything you need to stay sharp while fighting the good fight for an entire year. 
When you&#8217;re busy defending what&#8217;s right, the last thing you need is a razor that quits on you — or comes from a brand that thinks your masculinity is the problem. Don&#8217;t let another month pass buying razors from companies that hate real masculinity — grab the <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/products/gen2-p5-1year-kit-1?selling_plan=3795681493?utm_campaign=big-balls&amp;utm_content=20250808&amp;utm_source=editorial">Precision 5 1-Year Bundle for just $74.99</a> from <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/collections/?utm_campaign=big-balls&amp;utm_content=20250808&amp;utm_source=editorial">Jeremy&#8217;s Razors</a> and get the shave real men deserve.
