Sports is big money. Lots of polling is being done. Half of all sports fans are like half of the electorate. They love anything the other half hates. If the owners and boosters thought any of the Anti-America crap was really hurting them, it's be over in a New York minute. Whether they are getting good data from their polls is anyone's guess.

I so don't care about US women's soccer. I hope they all turn down the invitation to the WH...should they win.
Then I hope the U15 boys team that beat them a couple of years declare themselves to be female and take over the team.
[Daily Wire] Donald Trump’s super power is now on full display. As I’ve mentioned before, the president has an uncanny ability to make other people destroy themselves. And what he has done to countless individuals, he is now doing to the Left en masse.
I first noticed this super ability of Trump’s way back during the 2016 Republican primaries. Reacting to Trump, Marco Rubio descended to Trump’s level of grotesque personal insult ‐ and basically ended his campaign. Reacting to Trump, Jeb! Bush tried to appear forceful and dynamic and rendered himself ridiculous ‐ and he was done. Even the brilliant Ted Cruz, reacting to Trump, was lured into an attempt to out-strategize "my friend Donald," and only managed to get himself devoured last. Trump didn’t beat them, he simply magicked them into beating themselves. It really is a remarkable kind of Jedi mind trick.
And now, after two and a half years of the Left trying to strike Trump down, he has only become more powerful than they could possibly have imagined!
Who couldn’t see the extraordinary Trump Effect playing itself out in the Democrat debates, as candidate after candidate promised to destroy our borders, give free health care to millions of illegals, and immolate whole job sectors on the altar of climate hysteria? Even sympathetic left-wing commentators were covering their eyes at the self-engineered train wreck: the latest exercise of the Trump super power.
And it didn’t stop there. In the course of a single week, signs that Trump had amped his Jedi game to Melee Level were everywhere. Antifas fascists nearly murdered a journalist ‐ and leftists made excuses for them. The Fourth of July approached ‐ and leftists declared the American flag a symbol of white nationalism. Our border forces struggled valiantly to handle a crisis the Left had repeatedly claimed was imaginary ‐ and leftists condemned them as dangerous thugs running concentration camps.
Finally, Trump organized a delightfully Trumpian Fourth of July extravaganza on the National Mall ‐ and the leftist commentators flocked to cable to proclaim the celebration the act of an evil dictator.

Victor Davis Hanson, The Case for Trump, pages 316-317.
The Very idea that Donald Trump could, even in a perverse way, be heroic may appalling to half the country. Nonetheless, one way of squaring both Trump's personal excesses and his accomplishments is that his traditionally non presidential behavior may have been valuable in bringing long-overdue changes in foreign and domestic policy. Tragic heroes, as they have been portrayed from Homer's Iliad and Sophocle's plan (e.g. Ajaz, Antigone, Oedipus Rex, Philoctetes) to modern western fim, are not intrinsically noble. They can often be obnoxious and petty, if not dangerous, especially to those around them. The mercurial sorts rarely end up well, and on occasion neither to those in their vicinity. Oedipus was rudely narcissistic. In the film Hombre, antihero John Russel (Paul Newman) proved arrocant and off-putting.
Tragic heroes are often unstable loners. They are aloof by preference and due to society;s understandable unease with them. Sophocle's Ajax soliloquies about a rigged system and lack of recognition accorded his undeniable accomplishments is Trumpian to the core. They are akin to the sensational rumors sthat late at night Trump is hold up alone, brooding, eating fast food, apart from his wife, and watching Fox News shows.

"IT'A ALL TRUMP"S FAULT I ACT LIKE A HOMICIDAL MANIAC!!" ---screamed by Antifa rioters and MSM news presenters (one wears a face mask so you can tell them apart).
CHICAGO (AP) ‐ Alzheimer’s disease may be a risk for older prostate cancer patients given hormone-blocking treatment, a large, U.S. government-funded analysis found.
Previous evidence has been mixed on whether the treatment might be linked with mental decline. But experts say the new results stand out because they’re from a respected national cancer database and the men were tracked for a long time ‐ eight years on average.
Among 154,000 older patients, 13% who received hormone-blocking treatment developed Alzheimer’s, compared with 9% who had other treatment or chose no therapy, the study found.
The risk for dementia from strokes or other causes was higher: It was diagnosed in 22% of those who got hormone-blocking treatment, versus 16% of the other patients.
The results, using perhaps one of the largest and most reliable databases, suggests there truly may be a connection, said Dr. Sumanta Pal, a prostate cancer expert with the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Pal was not involved in the study.
The analysis from University of Pennsylvania researchers was published Friday in JAMA Network Open.
The results aren’t proof but experts say they underscore the importance of discussing potential risks and benefits when choosing cancer treatment.
[Irish Times] The mapping of DNA from some of the settlers who colonised Iceland more than 1,000 years ago offers an insight into the fate of thousands of slaves ‐ mostly women ‐ who were taken by Norse Vikings from Ireland and Scotland before they put down roots on the North Atlantic island.
Anthropologist Sunna Ebenesersdóttir, of the University of Iceland and the company deCODE Genetics in Reykjavik, analysed the genomes of 25 ancient Icelanders whose skeletal remains were found in burial sites across the island.
Sequencing using samples from teeth revealed the settlers had a roughly even split of Norse (from what are today Norway and Sweden) and Gaelic ancestry. It is the first in-depth investigation of how a new population is formed through a genetic process known as "admixture".
When the researchers compared the ancient genomes to those of modern people in Iceland and other European countries, they found contemporary Icelanders, on average, draw about 70 per cent of their genes from Norse ancestry.
This suggests that in the 1,100 years between settlement and today, the population underwent a surprisingly quick genetic shift in favour of Norse genes, the researchers report in the journal Science.

“This is a fascinating example of how a population is shaped by its environment, in this case the harsh and marginal conditions of medieval Iceland.
Maybe Iceland wasn't so harsh, before climate change socked it to 'em. I'm thinking about the Medieval Warm Period. Chart

This is all nonsense, obviously. Everyone knows that slavery was invented by Americans in the 1600s, where they went to Africa and stole people from their peaceful, noble villages. Before that, there 2as no slavery in the history of the world. /sarcasm

Not just 'Mericans, Rambler, but Republicans. Heard on MSNBC that those segregationists weren't democrats.
[American Thinker] Every now and again, you’ll hear someone argue that a fundamental transformation of the American economy is necessary because we are in the throes of something called "late-stage capitalism." Wealth inequality has reached an unacceptable tipping point, they typically argue, so the only logical solution to this "problem" is to allow the government to disproportionately seize wealth and income from the wealthiest and highest-earning Americans, and then redistribute that wealth to other Americans who need it more. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs," as the policy prescription popularized by Karl Marx goes.
But what I find most curious about this is that Karl Marx might not necessarily see it this way. Given what we’ve seen in America for the last hundred years or so, he might more aptly suggest that we are in "early-stage communism," simply waiting for a revolutionary event to secure "full communism" as America’s "mode of production."
In The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality (1956), Ludwig von Mises observes that:
When Marx and Engels advocated interventionist measures, they did not mean to suggest a compromise between socialism and capitalism. They considered these measures ‐ incidentally, the same measures which are the essence of the New Deal and Fair Deal policies ‐ as first steps on the way to full communism. They themselves described these measures as "economically insufficient and untenable," and they asked for them only because they "in the course of the movement outstrip themselves, necessitate further inroads upon the social order, and are unavoidable as a means of revolutionizing the mode of production."
Marx knew that the struggle between socialism and capitalism was a duel to the death, not a negotiation. An economic system where individuals have fundamental property rights cannot coexist with an economic system which is predicated upon perpetually infringing upon certain individuals’ right to property in order to provide for others. Only one of these systems could practically, morally, and politically exist in the end.
[Babylon, yes, Bee] BEAVERTON, OR‐All upper management personnel and top executives at Nike's headquarters have, sadly, passed away after they voluntarily stopped breathing.
They did this because Colin Kaepernick called their offices in a rage once he discovered they were breathing since racists in the 18th century also breathed.
"I thought we understood one another," Kaepernick said before quoting Frederick Douglass out of context in a passioned speech to the entire Nike board. "But then I heard you guys were still breathing. I thought you were better than that. You know who else breathed? Racists like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Benjamin Franklin."
"Honestly, if you want me to endorse your brand the next time I play a pickup game of football at the local park, you're gonna need to cancel your breathing." One exec attempted to protest, but Kaepernick wasn't having it. "I said your breathing is CANCELLED."
Realizing they had very little choice, the whole Nike leadership team saluted one another, held their noses, passed out, and died.
"Totally worth it," one exec said before the blackness took him.

Kaepernick will be back everytime he feels he's not getting enough attention. If the outrage engines like Hannity, Weasel Zippers, Breitbart and Malkin all just quit steam whistling every time Kaepernick opens his yap he'd be about as relevant as Rachel Dolezal right now.

Kaepernick did pretty well by this country before he joined the "Hate America" crowd and decided to do a self-kneecap.
