A couple of reading assignments and Goodell's too little too late attempt to clean up HIS Anthem mess

Victor Davis Hanson pulls the curtain back on Lefty Lib “entertainers”

VDH is a national treasure.  He’s a brilliant man who can lay out his case a calm reasoned manner while at the same time shredding his target with cuts so precise and clean the target walks away thinking, “He never touched me” just before falling apart like confetti throw from a high rise building.

In this piece, Hanson lets loose his talents on Lefty Lib “entertainers” who think it’s okay to trash half of America just because they don’t vote like Hollywood swells.  I recall every case Hanson lays out in his piece.  When taken in the totality Hanson lays out, it is a damning case against a class of people who consider themselves so much better than anyone occupying the center of the country. 

Well at least we can trust the FBI

Uh, no we can’t.  If this is true, and I believe that it substantially is, this is scary stuff.  Now remember who the key players are that are investigating PDJT – the two past directors of what is becoming apparent is, at a minimum, a troubled – if not totally corrupt - agency.

Rev? Al swerves into the truth

Rev? Al Not-So-Sharp-Ton said this about ESPN’s suspension half-wit Jemele Hill, “We will not be shut down and we will not be suspended and we will not stand for her to be suspended.”

He’s right.  I can’t believe it.  Rev? Al Not-So-Sharp-Ton is right about something.  The “they” in this case being the usual crowd of perpetually offended - should not stand for Hill.  They should take a knee for Jemele and stand for the Anthem.

God Bless twitter
By censoring Marsha Blackburn’s tweet it gave her 1,000 times more exposure than her announcement that she’ll run for the Cork’s vacated TN senate seat would have otherwise gotten.  Good work tweets.  You’re doing a heck of job.  You have saved Blackburn $100,000 in ad buys to get her message out.  She is no doubt the frontrunner right now.

In another move to help Blackburn’s cause, Twitter has now reversed its dumb as fence post decision and started the whole news cycle over again with the added benefit to Blackburn that we can now see the ad on twitter.

Roger Goodell too little too late
The National Kneeball League comish Rog Goodell, feeling sudden rush of patriotism, is backtracking on NKL players' Anthem protests.  He is going to find out how hard it is to get toothpaste back into the tube once it is squeezed out.  The time to put an end to Anthem protest was the Monday after the first time Colin Kapernick sat his worthless butt on the bench during that event. 

In the original Alien movie the crew had a chance to kill the deadly creature in its infancy, failing to do so nearly wiped the crew out.  That’s where Goodell is right now.  The NKL kneeler monster has grown to the point where it can no longer be killed off cleanly.

Anything the NKL does now with regard to kneelers is going to be transparent as hell is being done, not because it is the right thing to do, but rather because it is the economically advantageous thing to do.  The NKL position is that they value “free speech” until it interferes with the bottom line.  The corollary, patriotism is good business weather you believe it or not.  Goodell clearly does not.

This thing is going to crash and burn spectacularly.  Players hell bent on destroying the league that provides their livelihood for a cause that they cannot clearly articulate are not likely to back down because the Comish says so a year-and-half after the trouble began.

The players will be a difficult group to negotiate with.  One, because they don’t know, or at least cannot state in an understandable sentence or two, what they are protesting.  Two, as someone said, the players, many of who otherwise aren’t qualified to bag groceries, should be thanking America for the opportunity to make millions for playing game, aren’t necessarily the brightest bulbs in the series.  Three, they are millionaires under contract.  I suppose that means they get paid weather they cooperate with the Comish or not.  There are no sanctions for non-compliance in the Comish’s letter.  It simply says players should stand. My guess is many of the players will not comply.  Last, caught in a no-win dilemma pitting fans on one side and the players on the other, owners except for Jerry Jones, don’t know what to do.  Hint: The best players in the world are worthless if no one is watching them.  Ask curlers.

PDJT has clearly won.  He should not let up.  Like an MMA fighter who has gained the advantage over his opponent, he should continue to “ground and pound” until the NKL taps out.
