Since when did you start doing sports commentary on this politics thread?

Should I show you white athletes assaulting others? What is with you and coonery?
There are a few who contributed towards spectacular growth of the sport. Just a few examples,there are many black ,white ,green ,yellow and blue .

Magic Johnson rivalry with Larry Bird really propped up the NBA, MJ took it several notches higher .

Messi and Ronaldo rivalry took football money and viewership to the highest levels.

Tiger Woods took golf to uncharted territory.

Luke Littler in Darts raised the popularity of darts , leading to more money being poured.

From what I read most conservatives didn't think much of WNBA until Caitlin Clark. As they say she was already famous before joining the WNBA .. That's why I called her the golden goose for the NBA.Instead those black entitled players really rough her up and the referees let the charade go on.

You want to call me racist?

Waste of money.
Not really . When I get invited to the WH I don't want to use the Porta potties.
In any case the US has been wasting billions of dollars giving African looters and dictators aid , So your concerns about money being wasted are petty and irrelevant.

Trump enrages the left.

“Our Great National Security Facility and Ballroom is moving along on schedule. When completed, there will be nothing like it anywhere in the World!” - President Donald J. Trump

Liberals behave as if he'll take the privately funded ballroom to Mar a Lago after 2028.

He posted a video too

This is some Officer Tatum level of coonery!! The self hate is palpable.

Athletes cheat. Be it black or white. Leave it at that. But no, you must shout when it is a black athlete as if there are not worse white athletes.
Stop this grift abeg.
Hear yourself. Who deserves to be puched on the neck when you've already been pushed so hard you fell down.

Such acts are why Whites think blacks are just savages.

Always excuses for Israel and nothing for Palestine.

When Israel murders children, medics and journalists, it is war. When Palestine fights back, it is terrorism.

The sheer racism and bias....
An instant where IDF just murdered civilians without cause.
Yiu still won't estimate how many Hamas fighters have died fighting IDF versus the women and children dead.
IDF if I'm right has lost over 400 troops in Gaza.
Hamas has launched over 30000 rockets into Israel over 2 years. As I've opined , you think those rockets are delivering candy, balloons ,condoms and sweets?.

That’s why I am here to kurse them to normalcy.

Just like they said the Iran war we all just witnessed isn’t a new war, because Iran has been at war with the US for 47 years..

Such level of insanity..
You can explicitly deny that these events don't constitute an act of war?

1.
The Tehran Embassy Seizure (November 1979 )
The Event: Militants stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.The Impact: Held 52 American diplomats hostage for 444 days.
Act of War Status: Violating diplomatic immunity and state sovereign territory is a textbook casus belli.

2.
The Beirut Barracks Bombing (October 1983)
The Event:
An Iranian-backed proxy executed a suicide truck bombing.
The Impact: Murdered 241 American military personnel serving as peacekeepers.
Act of War Status: Direct command, funding, and orchestration of a mass military strike by state proxies.

3.
Mining of the Persian Gulf / Operation Praying Mantis (1987–1988)
The Event: Iran deployed naval mines in international shipping lanes.
The Impact: Severe structural damage to the U.S. Navy frigate USS Samuel B. Roberts.

How many children has the IDF murdered?

Clown
Zero. In a conflict civilian deaths normally occur. Hamas intentionally puts it's civilians in danger,firing rockets from bedrooms for example.
Help me here..Would you give me an appropriate number of Hamas fighters vs the civilians killed? If you don't have the number,then you are not qualified to make any comment.

How many presidents campaigned to release Epstein files? How many presidents stonewalled to execute an act of parliament?
Your logic is because no president did it, then Trump shouldn't do it as well. Except that there are many things Trump has done and doing that no presidents did before which you are okay with. Why is this one different?
How can releasing records of a well known trafficker and peado be even subject to debate?
You want to see photos of the kids Epstein abised. He had hundreds of thousands of photos.
Bill Gates acknowledged he cheated on his wife with three women .He said Epstein kinda wanted to klackmail him. Epstein wrote that Bill wanted antibiotics for his STID that he picked from one of the girls ,so he wanted Antibiotics to secretly give his wife
Antibiotics say are taken three times a day, Bill Gates would have spent every 8 hours with his wife for a week drugging her .How believable is that. Bill couldn't see his doctor with his wife who would then prescribe the antibiotics for "food poisoning".

Hallelujah. CNN parent company to be bought out by Paramount
Barry Weiss who heads CBS is set to have some oversight role at CNN.
When NYT whines,it means there must be something good in it for conservatives

CNN has been critical of Barry Weiss. Can't wait for her to take over and clear those taking heads.

The left by November might have lost another propaganda media . They still haven't gotten over Twitter ,on CNN they've gone bananas

Bari Weiss is planning an aggressive, anti-establishment policy shift designed to dismantle mainstream cable news norms, meaning many of CNN's traditional "talking heads" will likely face termination or see their influence severely diminished.

Who was raped, by whom?

This is exactly the conspiracy theories I am talking about. Stupid ones.

Accusations are not facts, I can accuse you of doing anything. You claim to be a lawyer, make use of it.

Epstein abused girls. Diddy abused women and was convicted of prostitution-related offences. Those are serious facts. So there is no depraved mind here.

But people then take the proven misconduct and attach an enormous unsupported story to it:
secret tapes of every celebrity,
worldwide blackmail operations,
intelligence agencies,
ritualistic parties and everyone photographed with them being guilty, you traveled with them you are guilty.

We watched the same thing happen with Diddy.
People circulated ordinary celebrity party photographs and claimed everyone pictured must have attended freak-offs or participated in trafficking. Yet after an actual trial, Diddy was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering. That does not make his other conduct acceptable; it demonstrates that the viral version of the story was much broader than what prosecutors could prove. If you search this thread, you will realize I was here arguing with someone how did was a sex trafficker and Cassie was the victim. I was wrong because I believed the conspiracy nonsense spreading then.

The Epstein discussion follows the same formula.
Long read , but it seems Reid Hoffman has been financing efforts to have Trump name dragged as blocking Epstein releases. He sponsored victims ads midway the Superbowl or something like that.

Black lesbian punched Caitlin Clark after she has been pushed to the floor. Referees missed it. Subsequent review, Alyssa Thomas was suspended for one game ,which she attended with her fiancee.

If it was Caitlin Clark who punched a black girl, she would be sent to Alcatraz.
Looks like WNBA is out to kill it's golden goose.


I read somewhere that MJ was one of the worst on court side trash talkers and was celebrated for jus aggressive dominance. Caitlin Clark is expected to behave like a classy lady , most of her opponents are black . Her cusswords are openly highlighted. (Well I don't know much about this because I've never been to America).

This was just too deliberate and may constitute a hate crime. It's unacceptable and shameful.

DOJ busts 455 in $6.5 billion healthcare fraud. An 18-year-old basketball player paid with his life.

The biggest healthcare fraud takedown in American history just landed. The DOJ charged 455 defendants across 45 states for their alleged roles in over $6.5 billion in fraud schemes targeting medicare and medicaid. Among the 455 --- 90 doctors and licensed medical professionals.

Buried in the numbers is a story that should make every American furious. Kaiden Francis was an 18 years old athlete at the University of Mobile, a student his mother described as a beautiful young man doing just fine. A company had targeted his mother with a scare-tactic scam: pay for your childs heart screening to make sure they're healthy enough to compete. The doctor assigned to review Kaidens EKG results spent 11 seconds on them. Said he was fine. Within a month, Kaiden was dead. His heart, when autopsied, was two and a half times the normal size, nearly the size of a basketball.
Push an enlarged heart in athletic training, and it stops. Thats what happened.

While Kaidens family buried him, the company billed Medicare and Medicaid for $90 million. Now theyre in handcuffs.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, who runs the centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, sat down with Fox News and didnt mince words, " this is a war on fraud, the likes of which you have never seen". His take after hearing about Kaiden, "that kid was hurt irreparably, passed away because nothing was done about these fraudsters, and they went right after it".

Kaiden's mother said the Doctor who cleared her son's EKG in 11 seconds was like any street criminal who murdered somebody. Thats a mother's verdict.

Kaidens murderers billed $90 million. Now they're in cuffs.


The tragedy of the case is that the pathology was glaringly obvious on the EKG printout. Had the doctor spent even one minute looking at the data instead of rubber-stamping it to collect an insurance payout, Kaiden would have been safely sitting on the sidelines under close medical care.

Nancy Pelosi congress replacement is Scott Wienner a gay Jewish state senator democrat.
He attended a trans march , they chased him away because he supports Israel. The crowd did acknowledgehis input into lbgtq laws .

Democrats have been taken over by the far left progressive wing. They need the muslim votes in the meantime to overcome the conservatives. Muslims are just using them just like the far left are using common sense democrats to grab power. Muslims don't support homosexuals or the trans movement in any part of this world.

California first time 5% wealth on everyone $1billion worth has made it's way into the November ballot. Governor Newsom is not supporting it , he knows it's not good but he still calling for a way to tax billionaires
Bernie Sanders waxed lyrical about it. The dumb voters in California will pass it. All billionaires will pack up and leave. Followed by multi millionaires. Nothing prevents the 5% tax being changed to 10% or applying to anyone worth $5 million in a few years time.
Dumb voters who think net worth is money sitting in a bank will ensure its passage.

Obama chief of staff Rahm Emmanuel,who is running for President in 2028

RAHM EMANUEL: I spent my life turning red districts blue. What the socialist wing has decided to do is turn blue districts, dark blue…

The way you create a majority, either in the legislative body or win the presidency, is moving red areas to blue, not blue areas to cobalt blue or to midnight blue. And that’s all that happens.

Take a look in Omaha. We’ve lost three times with the most progressive candidate. We finally got a person like Denise Powell, and we’re in a position to finally flip a seat. That’s how you build a majority.

And if you also look presidentially, seven states, 500,000 voters across those states, Caitlin, have decided the last three presidents. None of those states — Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, Nevada, the industrial Wisconsin, Michigan, or Pennsylvania — they’re not electing socialists.


Democrats spent years turning red states purple then blue through unorthodox means such as importing voters then indoctrinating them. Many of those voters came for the freebies , they prefer socialists instead .


Bill Maher chipped in.

“What happened is for years we've been asking young people to vote. Well, now young people are voting and they are voting to abolish the police, abolish prisons, unlimited immigration, so no cops, no prisons, no borders...”

“Proving, for sure, that eating Tide pods does cause brain damage


Democrats are reapjng the fruits of their power lust.

How to seize property from landlords without blood running down the street

Hon. Vickie Paladino
@VickieforNYC
Step 1: ‘Organize’ tenants to file dozens and dozens of complaints with the building department to establish cause for investigation.

Step 2: Squeeze these same landlords with massive compounding fines they will not be able to get out from under. Use rent strikes and rent control laws to limit income, making compliance with tenant complaints financially impossible.

Step 3: Use the outstanding debt with the city resulting from the fines and noncompliance as leverage with mortgage and bankruptcy courts to have the buildings turned over to the city and/or designated nonprofits at fire sale prices.

That’s how private property will be stripped from owners, and how politically-favored activist nonprofits will become the new land barons of NYC.

They will do this on increasingly small properties, and eventually even to private homeowners who rent an upstairs or basement apartment.

And once they take over these properties, they will be left to rot, just like NYCHA is. That’s the future the marxists want for us. It’s just plain evil.


I highly doubt socialists will ruin a number of people before the public turns against them.
