Is the NBA Going the Way of Bud Light?

Over the past several months, we’ve seen corporations take big financial hits for embracing wokeness. Disney took a massive blow to the bottom line after going woke, while Target and Ben & Jerry’s have seen their market values tumble following far-left stands. But the, umm, gold standard for the “go woke go broke” model is Bud Light, whose fortunes continue to tumble after it partnered with Dylan Mulvaney for a marketing stunt. The sports world is notorious for embracing wokeness in recent years as well. Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League have recently been under fire for pride month antics, and let’s not forget how MLB moved

These leagues count on their "fans" forever being devoted like fawning puppy dogs. I've got news for them. WE NO LONGER CARE, and the real sport that we're devoted to now is the thrill of watching them circle down the toilet like Bud Light, Target, etc.

The NBA made my list after their disgusting BLM banners and paint jobs. What do you expect from a league that recruits from the ghettos?

I haven’t watched a pro basketball game in at least 15 years. That’s when I noticed that the last two minutes in any sort of close game took twenty minutes to play. This before the league went totally woke. The same with the NFL but in their case, it was the endless commercials during their frequent “breaks in the action” that lost me. This was before all the anthem kneeling foolishness. I know, advertising is what gives us the “free” entertainment but trying to cram woke philosophy down our throats at the same time lost me as a customer forever.

Basketball ended as a real sport when they stopped calling fouls for traveling. That was decades ago.

When the likes of CNN’s Fareed Zakaria say you’re doing a great job, you’re in trouble. When the likes of Fareed Zakaria tell the president of the United States that he’s doing a great job, we’re all in trouble. During the exercise in sycophancy that was his one-on-one interview with Old Joe Biden Sunday, Zakaria gushed improbably, “You’ve been a great president.” Oh yes, he did. Biden has driven the economy off a cliff, emboldened our nation’s most formidable foes worldwide, and made our Southern border a meaningless line on a piece of paper. He has poisoned race relations and overseen the introduction of the Left’s fascination with sexual deviance

According to heavily redacted documents from the National Security Agency obtained by The Daily Signal, there was a coordinated effort by the outgoing Obama administration to “torpedo the incoming presidency of Donald Trump.” Through a Freedom of Information Act request, The Daily Signal acquired 217 pages of documents. “The documents reveal that Obama administration officials, from Vice President Joe Biden down to several ambassadors and many officials in the Treasury and Energy departments, gained access to secret information about Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, President-elect Trump’s choice for national security adviser,” the report says.

Disgraced former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar has been stabbed multiple times in federal prison, according to sources. Sources told The Associated Press that the convicted sex abuser, 59, was attacked by another inmate at the high security United States Penitentiary Coleman in Florida on Sunday afternoon. Nassar was stabbed in the back and in the chest, one of the sources said. A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson confirmed toThe Independent that an inmate at Coleman was assaulted at around 2.35pm on Sunday. Responding staff immediately initiated life-saving measures before EMS arrived and continued to administer “life-saving efforts,” the spokesperson said. The inmate was then transported to a local hospital for further treatment and evaluation.

The headlines were stark and specific. Reuters claimed, “World registers hottest day ever recorded on July 3.” Well, “ever recorded” is misleading since the records have only been “recorded” since 1979. But what kind of a headline would that have been? At least the BBC was honest about their scare headline: “World’s hottest day since records began.” The bottom line: We’re all going to burn up and we’re all going to die unless we throw an hysterical climate change tantrum and demand that our government take panicky steps to save us from the climate change demons. There’s no doubt that this Independence Day was hot. It was very hot. It was uncomfortably hot

Amazon’s top technology officer told the United Nations this week that people will need to eat more fish and less beef if they want to protect the environment, and said artificial intelligence is a tool that is already helping to make that happen. Dr. Werner Vogels, chief technology officer and vice president of Amazon, told the "AI for Good" global summit in Geneva this week that AI is helping rice farmers and other food producers around the world be much more efficient. However, he said AI will also play an important role in making sure food comes at a lower cost to the environment.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is, thankfully, not being secretive about its plans to enslave us. Unfortunately for humankind, we are once again ignoring the tyrants looking to take over the world. FACT-O-RAMA! Hitler’s book Mein Kampf outlined exactly what the budding dictator planned to do. Germany let him out of prison anyway. Guess what happened? Everything he wrote about in Mein Kampf. Our would-be masters at the WEF have a detailed strategy regarding what you eat, where you go, how you get there, and what you’re going to wear. And they plan to kick their tyranny into high gear by 2030. For starters, you’ll eat roughly 35 lbs. of meat

Every now and then, you hear a story of ritual Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) occurring not just in Africa but right here in America, where half a million girls are presumed to be at risk. Indeed, the average American will likely see this practice as barbaric and criminal; it is a federal crime, yet our laws have not stopped the mutilations from occurring. Worldwide, roughly 200 million girls have undergone this non-consensual procedure — but what about when it’s sanctioned by the “progressive” medical professionals and the political left?

Humanity is doomed. I’m sorry to say it, but I’m not sure if there’s anything else one can conclude. Individuals and once-reputable organizations are going to absurd lengths to perpetuate the myths that people can be born in the “wrong body” and that plastic surgery and drug injections can actually change one’s sex. Those who perpetuated this nonsense were once limited to the fringes of society; now, it’s become mainstream. Even though polls show a large majority of Americans reject radical left-wing gender ideology, health organizations and even our government have been bullied into endorsing it lock, stock, and barrel.

For reasons unknown but entirely providential, Joe Biden spared the audience from any of the more salacious or sordid details of what it might be like for any female to be as disadvantaged and ill-fated as Ashley Biden. A resurfaced video appeared online this week, which featured Joe Biden speaking before a group of students at Benedict College in South Carolina. At one point, a young black woman stood up, and posed this question: “If I were your daughter, what advice would you give me the next time I’m stopped by the police?” To this, Biden responded, “If you were my daughter, you’d be a caucasian girl, and you wouldn't

Staff and leadership at the radical Southern Poverty Law Center have frequently visited the Biden White House, according to White House visitor logs. Collaboration between the federal government and the SPLC should alarm Americans as the federal government ramps its weaponization of domestic law enforcement and intelligence agencies. White House records show that members of the SPLC have visited the White House at least 11 times over the short span of three years. These meetings mostly involved Biden himself, referred to as “POTUS”—an acronym for “president of the United States”—and typically featured officials from his Cabinet. These frequent consultations indicate that the Left and the Biden

An archbishop in the Church of England said the opening of the “Lord’s Prayer” is considered “problematic” to some people because the 2,000-year-old prayer starts by addressing God as “Our Father.” Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell told the General Synod, the legislating and ruling body of the Church of England, that referring to God as “father” might be offensive to some people because of the negative connotations of patriarchy. “I know the word ‘father’ is problematic for those whose experience of earthly fathers has been destructive and abusive, and for all of us who have labored rather too much from an oppressively patriarchal grip on life,” Cottrell said,

Stein’s Law holds that “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.” The late Herbert Stein made the observation about economic trends, but his axiom perfectly describes Joe Biden’s shaky dance with political death. The president is trying to navigate a narrow path between two potential disasters. Each one could prove fatal to his tenure, but if the twain shall meet, he doesn’t have a prayer. And it’s a near certainty they will meet because the facts we already know are overwhelmingly stacked against him and more damaging information is coming soon. One track of his predicament stems from general public unhappiness with his performance.

Major legal rulings that dismantled the use of race in college admissions, undermined protections for LGBTQ people and tossed out President Joe Biden’s student debt relief program marked the end of a Supreme Court term in which the conservative supermajority continued to exert its dominance. The majority also doubled down on a controversial legal theory that limits the power of federal agencies to take unilateral action. Meanwhile, the justices rejected a far-fetched argument that would have limited the role of state courts in election disputes and turned away an aggressive attempt to challenge Biden administration immigration policy – both areas in which lawyers on the right might have overreached in their arguments.

"This is a war relating to munitions. And they’re running out of that ammunition, and we’re low on it," Biden told CNN's Fareed Zakaria.

The tone of the article was mostly, “what a nice older gentleman, aren’t his foibles endearing,” but several details describe someone who doesn’t sound all that decent. For starters, he makes Vice President Kamala Harris sit through self-congratulating slide shows.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was slammed for bowing multiple times when she met with China's vice premier He Lifeng, as some critics say the protocol error is a sign of American weakness. Yellen, who served as chair of the Federal Reserve before becoming Joe Biden's top financial official, wrapped up her first visit to China as treasury secretary on Sunday. Moments after bowing at least three times, Yellen then stumbled over He's name, calling him 'Vice Premier Hu.' Both Washington and Beijing said the meetings during her four-day trip were fruitful, although the visit - designed to help smooth a rocky relationship - did not generate any concrete agreements.
