San Diego’s new stadium may be tackled by NFL protests

Legal Insurrection

Americans won’t passively watch political drama at game-time any longer.

. . . "Like me, many people are tired of others turning their sports and entertainment into a political messaging opportunity. Football fans across the country are deeply unhappy at the disrespect being shown to the nation during the anthem-based protests, tired of the #BlackLivesMatters campaign and its race baiting promoters, and angry that the NFL and the teams’ officials are allowing the racialist histrionics to continue.

"Since the football professionals don’t want to clamp down on these game-time protests, citizens are using social media to initiate a boycott campaign themselves.

America, love these crybabies back! Start paying them minimum wage #boycottnfl

More commentary on The Deplorables

greenvilleonline.com

If you wonder how the "deplorables" comment will affect the media. keep this in mind: Media Puts Debate Moderators On Notice: Protect Hillary

. . . "But Hillary Clinton is such an awful candidate and corrupt human being, the media can spin only so much to keep people in the dark. As the curtain is pulled back even further, the stench of desperation is emerging." . . .

Coulter: Specifically, what percentage of Muslims are “sexist” or “homophobic"?   . . . "The only way we find out that Duke is still alive is that Republicans are asked to denounce him every four years. For all we know, Duke died 20 years ago and the media are using a body double.

"Will Hillary ever be asked to "disavow" Al Sharpton, George Soros, Black Lives Matter or Colin Kaepernick? These are people who have power and visibility even when it's not an election year. In fact, the only time some of them are not in the public eye is during election years, when, for example, Al Sharpton is sent off to a safe house for six months. By contrast, the only time Duke is in the news is during election years." . . .

Politico: Hillary’s Risky ‘Deplorables’ Strategy   . . . "By squarely siding with civil rights activists who demand that racism be forcefully confronted, she’s making clear that she views her path to victory doesn’t run through the white working-class vote. Rather, she’s making a bet that the makeup of 21st century America allows her to do something no Democratic nominee, not even Barack Obama, has done before: win the White House without winking at white grievance." . . .

After decades of Democrats chasing the white working-class vote, mostly to no avail, Barack Obama rendered the chase unnecessary. 

If He Really Wants To Help Blacks, Colin Kaepernick Needs To Put Up Or Shut Up

The Federalist
"Instead of insulting our nation, NFL athletes should use their money and fame to work towards actual solutions to the black issues they purport to care about."

"Much has been made recently of Colin Kaepernick refusing to stand for our national anthem to protest what he sees as the oppression of black people. It now appears Kaepernick’s actions have in琀influenced other players, with additional NFL athletes refusing to stand at attention for the anthem, and some even raising the black power fist琀 in protest. 

"As a black person who is a football fan, I state plainly: this is stupid. The simple reason is the 琀lag, our anthem, and the best parts of America that it represents are not the cause of black people’s problems. 

"Thus instead of insulting our nation and Americans who actually like what our 琀lag stands for, these NFL athletes should use their money and fame to work towards actual solutions to the black issues they purport to care about. Here are four ways they can do so.

Here are the juiciest Colin Powell comments about Trump and Clinton from his hacked emails

Being part of the liberal media, this post article puts heaviest emphasis on Powell's Trump comments with extensive commentary.

Washington Post  "In new emails leaked by a hacker, former secretary of state Colin L. Powell offers unvarnished and highly negative opinions about both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton." . . .

. . . "One area in which Powell has sympathy for Clinton is on Benghazi, the GOP reaction to which he labeled a "stupid witch hunt," as BuzzFeed first reported. And fellow former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice appeared to agree.

" 'Benghazi is a stupid witch hunt. Basic fault falls on a courageous ambassador who thoughts [sic] Libyans now love me and I am ok in this very vulnerable place,” Powell wrote to Rice in December 2015, referring to former ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens, who was killed in the attack.

"Powell added, though, that Clinton bore some blame: “But blame also rests on his leaders and supports back here. Pat Kennedy, Intel community, [State Department] and yes HRC," referring to Clinton.

“ 'Completely agree,” Rice responded."

Why Did the Obama Administration Funnel Millions to Secretary of State John Kerry’s Daughter’s Nonprofit?

American Center for Law and Justice  "While ordinary Americans struggle to pay their bills, the Obama Administration’s State Department maintains a deeply troubling pattern of awarding access and favors to rich and powerful individuals and organizations.

"As Reuters notes in a January 2013 report, then Senator Kerry, whose net worth has been estimated to be between $184.3 million and $287.7 million, stated: “I will not participate personally and substantially in any particular matter that has a direct and predictable effect on my financial interests . . . unless I first obtain a written waiver.” Kerry’s statement echoes then Senator Hillary Clinton’s statement, which was issued before assuming office as Secretary of State, indicating that she was committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct for government officials. funneled

"But just as scandal loomed over the Obama Administration’s State Department during its first term, it now appears Secretary Kerry’s tenure is rocked by evidence of an apparent conflict of interest as well. As reported in the Daily Caller, millions of dollars have been funneled through the Peace Corps to a nonprofit foundation created and directed by Secretary of State John Kerry’s daughter. In a scheme that demands an honest and detailed explanation, the Department of State funded a Peace Corps program and then the Peace Corps awarded the money without competitive bids to a nonprofit established by Dr. Vanessa Kerry, who created the program." . . .

The ACLJ’s Government Accountability Project has already filed a lawsuit against the Obama Administration’s State Department with regard to its lies and coverups regarding nuclear negotiations with Iran. We have also sent numerous other FOIA requests demanding justice and accountability from the Obama Administration’s growing Executive lawlessness and corruption.

The adorable Deplorables are the people of the month

Arnold Cusmariu: Hillary Clinton deserves electoral oblivion in November  "Keep in mind that the language Clinton used was not improvised in front of the cameras.  She read a prepared text off a teleprompter.  Someone wrote that text; Clinton and others on her staff read and approved it.  It was a staged event.

. . . 

"Make no mistake about it: Hillary Clinton stood before cameras and told millions of Christians they are damned to hell for all eternity for supporting Donald Trump.  I hope Trump brings up this issue during the upcoming debates.  Christian leaders should speak out in the meantime."  Emphasis mine, TD

Hillary's Friday Night Murder of Crows   . . ."It is the wealthy, powerful and progressive people who have given Clinton millions  and millions of dollars to win the election to continue that transformation.   They mean to rid the nation of any religiosity, any standards of decency beyond verbal political correctness, to rid us of biological notions of gender, of any protection of the unborn, that unfortunate consequence of sex.  They mean to make the United States a nation of tribes:  blacks, LGBT, Latinos, illegal immigrants, feminists, and almost any victim group, real or imagined.  . . ." To this bunch, if you support Trump, you are a Neanderthal, an object of well-deserved ridicule.   Of this they are certain." 

Emily Riley: "I am not deplorable. Here’s why."  . . . "How dare a presidential candidate, who claims to be compassionate, take our concerns and turn them into an ugly label?  We are Americans who are deeply concerned about our schools, our jobs, our children’s safety, and our culture.  What happened to our representative government?  Why are our elected leaders more interested in what is best for non-citizens and labeling citizens with ugly labels when we see clearly what the influx of immigrants, who have no desire to assimilate, is doing to our lives?

"America has always been a melting pot where out of many we become one nation.  What is happening to us now is a balkanization, where we are being divided and where our leaders create labels and finger-pointing, making everyone an enemy of someone else.  That is not what leaders do. "

Howie Carr: Some Quick, easy steps to tell if you’re a deplorable  "Didn’t Barack Obama say a few months back that a candidate couldn’t insult his way to the presidency? I guess he was referring to Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton, apparently, can.

"In case you’ve been wondering which side you’re on, you may be a deplorable if you stand for the National Anthem." . . .

Colin Powell: "Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up"

US.Patriot1776 

". . . Powell regarded his successor as secretary of state with a certain amount of contempt.  . . . "Powell lamented Hillary’s potential to “dick up” matters:. . . "
Yes, I guess you could call that contempt.

Powell warned Clinton not to make him fall guy over email scandal, leaked messages reveal
"Leaked messages from former Secretary of State Colin Powell’s email account showed Tuesday that he attempted to persuade Hillary Clinton and her aides from using him as a scapegoat for the controversy surrounding her private email server." 

UK Mail: Hillary hates him! Leaked Colin Powell emails reveal Clinton can't forgive President Obama for 'kicking her a** in 2008', and 'was so sick giving paid speech she could barely walk up steps'

"A wealthy private equity investor told former Secretary of State Colin Powell that Hillary Clinton 'HATES' President Obama in newly leaked emails between the two men that were leaked by D.C. Leaks and obtained by The Intercept.

. . . 

"He then went on to say: 'It's the one prize she wants. She has everything else. And she HATES the President ('that man' as the Clintons call him) kicked her a** in 2008. She can't believe it or accept it.' " . . . 

5 emails in which Colin Powell slammed Hillary Clinton
 Here is one such:
" . . .In another email to Leeds on Aug. 18, 2015, Powell weighed in on his own use of private emails for State Department business:

"Agree, press has started asking Peggy and me about our use. We have answered 3 IG questionaire [sic] and are clean. A newsie asked today to interview me on my use. Told them to read my book, Chapter on "Brainware." They are going to d**k up the legitimate and necessary use of emails with friggin record rules. I saw email more like a telephone than a cable machine. As long as the stuff is unclassified. I had some secure State.gov machine. Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris. I told you about the gig I lost at a University because she so overcharged them they came under heat and couldn't any fees for awhile. I should send her a bill. Trump conceivable take it to the convention. He appeals to the worst angels of the GOP nature and poor white folks. Just finished a book by a guy named Llosa about loss of culture. It was reviewed in the WSJ last week. Culture is going and with it the ties that bind. An increasing theme in my speeches-----celebrification of our society..FOX got the highest ratings ever after the debate so Ailes makes friends again with Trump and sends Megyn Kelly off to get over her period. Hey, [nothing] personal, just business."

 

‘South Park’ To Take On Colin Kaepernick In Season Opener Tonight

The Federalist   "The gods of mockery have heard our prayers. “South Park” is back! This latest clip kicking off the show’s 20th season captures the absurdity of Colin Kaepernick and Black Lives Matter as only “South Park” can. It’s just what we need to cleanse our palettes of political correctness." . . .

. . . "As the PC culture has been slowly killing comedy, “South Park” is a ray of hope. In a free society, nothing should be so sacred that you can’t laugh about it or mock it in some way—and I really do mean nothing. If you can’t laugh at something, then you’re afraid of it and it has power over you. If you’ve stifled comedy, then you’ve lost one of the greatest weapons of freedom."

Perfectly Timed Moments When It All Went Wrong

Obama on coal = California on nuclear power

IBEW hopes to resist this move to close Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant

Clean and Green, Nuclear Gets a Makeover  "When most people think of clean energy they probably think of wind and solar. What doesn't come to mind is the source that supplies the United States with 63 percent of its clean energy. What they aren't thinking about is nuclear.


"But nuclear energy, which also provides U.S. consumers and businesses with 20 percent of their electricity, is in need of a lift. In an effort to provide one, the Nuclear Energy Institute, an industry group, has embarked upon a two­year initiative, Delivering the Nuclear Promise. The plan aims to promote nuclear as a valued and necessary clean energy source, as well as reduce costs and increase safety and efficiency. And the IBEW is joining the effort.

" 'We used to have a 25­page procedure for changing a doorknob at nuclear plants. There is certainly room to make improvements in efficiency, and we support actions to keep plants open and make them more profitable," said Utility Director Jim Hunter. "We just want to make sure it happens with input from our members and not at their expense."
"Rolled out in December, the initiative calls for a 30 ­percent reduction in costs, which will be determined by working groups where IBEW and other unions will have a presence.

" 'Nobody wins when a plant closes," said NEI Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Tony Pietrangelo. "We want everyone pulling in the same direction."

"Nuclear generation is facing its most challenging moment since the rise of the industry nearly 50 years ago. Aging plants, Environmental Protection Agency rules, market forces and deregulation are converging to put nuclear plants out of business — just at the moment the electrical grid needs them the most." . . . 

Hillary's health and her media flacks

Can Hillary 'Power Through' Her Health Crisis?    Video

CBS 'edits' Bill Clinton comment about Hillary's health   . . . "The edit by CBS News was extremely helpful - to Hillary. There is no doubt that Bill Clinton immediately realized the import of using the word "frequently" when describing Hillary's fainting spells and sought to edit himself later in the sentence. But it raises a question.

"Did the ex-president contact CBS and request the word be deleted?"

"The idea that it was cut for time constraints is laughable. This has all the earmarks of a Clinton whitewash. And CBS News was a willing partner."

Bill Clinton Says Hillary Faints Frequently, CBS Helpfully Edits Remark

Half the country thinks Clinton has lied about her health to the public  via Drudge

. . . "Less than half of voters, at 44 percent, said Clinton's health would negatively affect her ability to be president; three in 10 people don't think she'd survive her first term while two in 10 people think Trump wouldn't. If one of them were to die, voters would rather have Mike Pence as president; 43 percent said he's prepared to serve, versus 38 percent who think Clinton's running mate, Tim Kaine, is ready to step up to the plate."

Sarah Silverman: Anyone Who Brings Up Hillary’s Health Is a ‘F---ing A---hole’   "Earlier this week, TMZ asked comedian Sarah Silverman about Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s health, she went on a tirade."
Who can lose when Hollywood is on your side? Or Google?

HOW GOOGLE IS STEERING USERS AWAY FROM CLINTON HEALTH WOES  . . . "But despite all the evidence, media and electoral interest, the tech giant Google hasn’t gotten the memo. It has engaged in a deliberate mendacious campaign of deception by steering its users away from searches that highlight her multiple health issues and deteriorating condition." . . .

Jonah Goldberg: Hillary Humiliated Her Flacks with Her Health Deception . . . "My favorite take came from left-wing writer Leela Daou via Twitter: “What we REALLY should be talking about is why it’s so damn hot on a September morning” followed by the hash tags #GlobalWarming and #climatechange. Not only is Clinton going to fight climate change, she’s like a polar bear searching for an ice floe: proof that it’s real!"

Then comes the Clintonite "adjustment":
“ 'Doing events with pneumonia shows how strong Hillary is. Her detractors have now lost another one of their hit jobs. They should be ashamed.' ”
"Uh-huh."

You Can Lead Reporters To Water, But Can You Make Them Believe Clinton's Ridiculous Dehydration Story?  . . . "This dehydration story is being reported as if it's some sort of down low campaign secret, when it's clearly the narrative the campaign wants to push. Further, Clinton claimed in 2008 that "I drink tons of water. Just as much water as I can possibly drink."From the Clinton campaign's perspective it sounds a lot better to say someone just needed a cool glass of water to recover, rather than the awkward truth that her dehydration is one of many symptoms of a serious medical condition that hospitalizes a million Americans every year, kills 50,000, and is considerably more serious if you happen to contract it as a 68-year-old woman." . . .
