It’s part boat, part political billboard, part floating protest. The No Woke Zone—a MAGA-flag-flying, sound-system-blaring vessel helmed by unapologetic conservatives—is back on the Potomac. With warmer weather arriving in Washington, D.C., the boat’s mission is clear: enjoy the water, wave the banners, and agitate the progressive establishment that dominates the nation’s capital.
On Sunday, during the annual Cherry Blossom 10-Mile Run, the boat launched what its captain, Corey Inganamort, dubbed the “Cherry Blossom Raid.” Strategically anchoring near East Potomac Park just as thousands of runners passed by on their eighth mile, the No Woke Zone greeted the crowd with Vanilla Ice’s ICE ICE BABY, mimosas, and two massive flags—one featuring former ICE Director Tom Homan in “thug life” style and another celebrating Elon Musk’s DOGE cryptocurrency.
Why did the runners of Washington DC’s cherry blossom 10M not like my Tom Homan and @DOGE @elonmusk flag???!

According to Inganamort’s account, the reaction from runners was instantaneous and visceral. Hundreds of middle fingers, verbal insults, and one particularly bold mooning marked the event. By his count, 469 runners flashed the bird—more than a few shouted profanities.
“It further confirmed that I, who is NOT like this man, am in the right,” he wrote, after describing a pants-down encounter from a senior citizen he hopes will be arrested for indecent exposure.
The No Woke Zone isn’t subtle, and it isn’t trying to be. With American flags, anti-woke slogans, and loud music blasting across the water, it represents a floating counterweight to the overwhelmingly progressive political climate of Washington. Inganamort, who calls Townhall’s boat the “official navy,” made it clear he sees these outings as more than leisure—they’re a form of resistance.

“Each one [of the insults] gave us further vindication that we were right,” he wrote. “This city voted 95% for Kamala Harris, the cackling lady who prefers open borders, thinks men can be women, and defended Joe Biden’s senility.”
Despite—or because of—the hostile response, Inganamort declared his commitment to continuing the weekend voyages. “You can bet your ass that I will be out there every single weekend pissing off all the morons who inhabit DC, all while having the time of my life.”
