OT the PIT - reincarnation

I think he is calculating keep the attention on the squad. I disagree with his method and how words here but he is crazy.

No swallowing here and I don’t think anyone cares about that last line. Telling US citizens to “go back where you came from” is next level stupid. 

I agree but I don’t think he can help himself.

For the first time in my life, I did not root for an American team. Whatever the sport, I have always rooted American. And if those who called in to my radio show were representative of my audience, many millions of Americans made the same sad choice.

It takes a lot for people like me not to root for an American team. But Megan Rapinoe, the foul-mouthed star of the team, and her fellow players made it possible.

The U.S. women’s team disgraced itself. Either its members were cowed into submission by Rapinoe or they agreed (or, at least, never disagreed) with her attacks on the president, her reference to the White House as the “f—ing White House,” her refusal since 2016 to participate in the national anthem, and her repeatedly shouting during the team’s parade in New York City, “New York, you’re the motherf—ing best!”

For example, Rapinoe said, “Every member of the team that I have talked to would not go” to the White House.

Rapinoe is a great soccer player. Other than that, she is unimpressive. She comes across as arrogant, a fool, and a lowlife.

Why a fool? Because she thinks she has something important to say to the American people and that we need to hear it because she is a great soccer player. She is not alone in this conceit. Tom Steyer and other billionaires think the same thing about themselves: that because they are better at making money than almost everybody, they must be wiser than almost everybody.

People who excel in one thing are tempted to think they are smart about everything, but that is almost never the case. There is no reason at all to assume that people who excel in anything (other than wisdom) are wiser than anybody else. And here’s the kicker (no pun intended): People who think they are wise because they excel at something unrelated to wisdom are fools.

And why is Rapinoe a lowlife? What would you label any adult who constantly used the F-word in public (especially during events when children are expected to be present or watching)? Or does being a star — like the foul-mouthed Robert De Niro — make you less of a lowlife?

The American women’s soccer team is unified in protesting on behalf of “equal pay for equal work.” They regard their team as a perfect example because its members receive less money than members of the U.S. men’s soccer team — despite the fact that the women have a much better record.

But there is a reason the male players earn more. Among other things — such as the women’s team’s vote for financial security in the form of guaranteed salaries rather than revenue share — men’s soccer generates far more money than women’s soccer.

According to the Los Angeles Times: FIFA’s “2018 financial report said it earned revenue of $5.357 billion from the men’s tournament in Russia. … Forbes estimated the Women’s World Cup will generate about $131 million for the four-year cycle ending in 2022.”

So, unless people should be paid according to gender (which they now are in Norway) rather than according to revenue and profits, male soccer players will earn more money than female soccer players.

There are only two ways to equitably ensure male and female players earn the same amount of money. One is to pool all the money earned by both teams and then distribute an equal amount to all the players, men and women. The other is to end sex-based teams: Men and women compete to play on one team (composed of both men and women), and any woman who makes the team is guaranteed the same income as any man on the team.

Until then, the women’s soccer team and the Left want to have their cake and eat it, too. (Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, for example, tweeted this non sequitur: “Here’s an idea: If you win 13-0 — the most goals for a single game in World Cup history — you should be paid at least equally to the men’s team.”) They want women to have their own soccer teams — because biology has made it impossible for almost any woman to successfully compete with men in sports — yet earn the same amount as men do. But the reality is more people will watch men play soccer, just as more people watch major-league baseball than minor-league baseball — which is why major-league baseball players earn more money than minor-league players do. But if we applied the equal-pay-for-equal-work principle to baseball, minor-league and major-league players would be paid the same amount.

With their politicization of their victory, their expletive-filled speech, and their publicly expressed contempt for half their fellow citizens, the women of the U.S. women’s soccer team succeeded in endearing themselves to America’s Left. But they earned the rest of the country’s disdain, which is sad. We really wanted to love the team.

What we have here is yet another example of perhaps the most important fact in the contemporary world: Everything the Left touches it ruins.

Yes another Hitler reference. They never ever get old do they?

Trevor Noah returned to The Daily Show on Monday after a two-week break and jumped directly into the only political news story right now: President Donald Trump’s racist tweets suggesting four congresswomen of color should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.”

Then came the analogy to Nazi Germany: “Imagine if Hitler was like, ‘I know everybody says I’m bad, but have you seen how many people are waving at me in the streets? If I was racist, they would say something, yeah?’”

I used to really enjoy the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. I though it was clever and smart. I gave up on it after really wanting to find Noah funny, but that never happened.

So who killed the upstanding, innocent black woman? The Klan? The Proud Boys? The kids from the Catholic HS? No....

A Louisiana man has been arrested in the murder of a beloved 75-year-old community activist whose body was discovered asphyxiated in the trunk of her car, police said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon.

The death of Sadie Roberts-Joseph, who founded an African American museum in Baton Rouge and teamed up with police on an anti-drug and violence program, was ruled a homicide by "traumatic asphyxia, including suffocation," according to an autopsy report.

Ronn Jermaine Bell, 37, a convicted sex offender, was taken into custody Tuesday on a charge of first-degree murder, police said.

Bell was living in one of the homes Roberts-Joseph was renting out and it is believed he was several months behind in rent payments, police said. Authorities estimated Bell owed Roberts-Joseph $1,200.

I want to thank Chuck Schumer for this. Please continue...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told a small group of reporters Tuesday that he will support legislation proposed by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) to establish a commission to study reparations for slavery.

The election really has an opportunity to spotlight the vast differences we have and what direction do we wish to go. I think BLM/Reparations/Socialism/Open Borders are all big losers still.

I hope I am right. 

So you can run a country to the ground for decades of corruption but make some bad gay jokes and THEN the people will storm the gates:

Miami (AFP) - Thousands of people demonstrated Monday demanding the resignation of Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello following the leak of a group text chat in which he and other officials made obscene, sexist and homophobic remarks about political opponents and others including pop star Ricky Martin, local media reports said.

At nightfall police used tear gas to disperse demonstrators in the capital San Juan who shouted: "Ricky corrupto!" in a third day of protests which also questioned Rossello's handling of the Hurricane Maria emergency and the island's financial crisis.

"We want him arrested, him and his wife jailed for stealing money from the people of Puerto Rico," protestor Tatiana Gomez told the local newspaper Primera Hora.

"It's time this town stood up to put a stop to this corrupt government," Lillianet Maldonado added.

Late Monday Rossello released a statement saying he respected the demonstrators but did not address the calls for his resignation.

The protests erupted after the Center for Investigative Journalism on Saturday released 889 pages of text chats on the encrypted messaging app Telegram in which Rossello and 12 other male members of his administration slander officials, politicians and journalists.

They shared memes, jokes and sexual insults, according to the Center and an exert published by local daily El Nuevo Dia.

In one exchange, chief financial officer Christian Sobrino makes expletive homophobic references to Latin superstar Martin.

"It is completely reprehensible and shows the intolerant, arrogant, high-handed, homophobic, sexist and violent character and personality of each one," Martin tweeted.

"We cannot allow our Puerto Rico to be in the hands of such 'leaders'," said Martin, of "Livin' la Vida Loca" and "She Bangs" fame.

Since the "Chatgate" leak, more than 20 other Puerto Rican artists have intensified their criticism of Rossello, including Bad Bunny, Rene Perez and playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda.

The 13% strikes again.

Those damn racist.........Mexicans?
