According to the left this imperfect but always improving Republic has never advanced. They are truly mentally ill.

Every time the scars of racism start to heal over in this country, some leftist comes along to reopen them.

Every time.

If the WNBA wasn’t subsidized, you wouldn’t hear this kind of crap.

There’s a lesson there about what happens when you give people money for nothing. They are not grateful, it just makes them more angry.

Wait- she’s concerned about “equality”??

Turner has advocated for LGBTQ+ rights and equality, and specifically for transgender women in women’s sports.

And take a look at those stands. What percentage of the fans buying tickets are black? Two percent?
