I thought Tucker Carlson's opening would be up but it isn't yet. I'll put it up when it is ( unless somebody beats me to it ). It was more than interesting, it was informative, some might say ( and have indeed said ) provocative as in "meant to encourage a discussion". What was the topic? Black Lives Matter of course. "THEE" topic of discussion in every news media. According to polling BLM is more popular than either the Democrat or Republican party.
According to a Civiqs poll, 53% of Americans support Black Lives Matter, and only 25% oppose it — a 12-point increase in support since mid-April. By a double-digit margin, BLM is more popular than either Donald Trump or Joe Biden. As political scientist Drew Linzer noted: BLM “is the single most favorably viewed national political organization or politician in America right now.”
This is a "movement" that just a few short years ago was openly calling for the death of cops, all cops. "Pigs in a blanket, fry'em like beacon" they chanted" and now according to polling, only 25% of Americans oppose this organization. Why? Many reasons of course but it would seem from reporting I'm seeing, it might be because you can get fired from your job with any hint that you don't agree with BLM.
In extraordinary cases just this week, an LA Galaxy soccer player was fired because of his wife's posts on Black Lives Matter; a UCLA lecturer was suspended for pointedly refusing to cancel his exam for black students; a progressive data scientist was fired for posting research from a black scholar; and a Cornell Law School faculty member was threatened with termination for criticizing Black Lives Matter. (Cornell's dean later issued a defense of academic freedom while condemning the faculty member's remarks.) The Federalist has compiled a slew of other examples.
School officials moved to fire Windsor School Principal Tiffany Riley on Friday after she wrote a social media post seen as critical of the Black Lives Matter movement.
“While I understand the urgency to feel compelled to advocate for black lives, what about our fellow law enforcement?” Riley added, before saying, “just because I don’t walk around with a BLM sign should not mean I’m a racist.”
The comments, which were shared widely among Windsor community members this week, led to calls for Riley’s resignation, while a group of recent graduates called the message “insanely tone-deaf.”
Now, you can not say anything that could be construed as "negative" towards Black Lives Matter, or you could, will get fired and maybe even fire-bombed in the process depending on where you live.
It will be very interesting to see who has the balls, if anybody, in the NFL to not kneel when play resumes. Maybe we might even see a "washing of the feet" of a few chosen Black players before the game just to make sure "Whitey" is sufficiently on board as to who is running the show from now on.
Summer of Love says the Mayor of Minneapolis? Some how, I don't think things are going to go that way.
Did you hear that the NYPD just disbanded it's 600 cop plain clothed undercover group? Now the bad goes not seeing any uniform on the street, know there is no cop on the street. Let's see how that works out.
We have indeed, lost our collective minds. We'll see how long that lasts.
Somebody asked if this board was the last place a Trump supporter say what they think? They just might be right. We'll see how long that lasts.
I'm still going to watch football but since I don't watch anything live anymore, I'll be fast forwarding past opening ceremonies so I don't have to see cowards on their knees doing something they just recently said they would never do, disrespect the flag.
