Bullying and Terrorizing people really does work.

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Actually he has done it to himself. Very sad, he really didn’t need to grovel the people who are only trying to use him.

I NEVER thought I would be writing these words, but one of the few people who I think may have apologized a little at first but TOOK IT BACK and went full steam ahead was...Kanye West.

He got uppity and was shot down, but after backing off a little, he said “screw this” and went 100 percent against the grain.

God’s miracles never cease to amaze me.

If you don’t say something. You’re wrong. If you say something, you say the wrong thing. Guess that makes me a racis’ then. Paint all LEO with the broad brush, I’ll paint looters and protestors with a broad brush.

There will be a Second Civil War, because that’s what The Left wants. The Left will not tolerate dissent, much less disobedience. The Left wants all others to unconditionally surrender. We will not surrender to them and so we will have to fight. It’s sad, but nonetheless true.

He was coerced into an apology, and that’s exactly what they do when there is non-conforming thought. Think of George Orwell’s 1984, and I’m not joking about this at all. The goal at first, is to get you to at least say the ‘correct’ thing, even if they have to coerce or torture you into it. Over time, they hope to brainwash you to the point where you not only say it, but you actually believe it.

He should not have caved. What he stands for is right and I honestly think he believed what he said. Now, because of pressure from others, he’s bent his beliefs and I find that extremely sad. I think Brees is one of the good guys and if the people of NO are stupid enough to think otherwise, that’s on them. I just hope he repairs his internal damage and let’s the public remain ignorant as to what’s really going on in this country.

Yesterday Sidney Crosby issued a statement on the current state of affairs. This was after A week of being harangued on Twitter to do so. What happened when he did? He statement was immediately blasted as not being quick enough by some and not saying enough by others. Then links were posted by various individuals on where he could go to show his support on a monetary level. You cannot capitulate to this mob. Ever.

-—And what you’re telling us is don’t ask for help that way. Ask for it a different way. I can’t listen to it when you ask that way. -——

Uh, yes. This is common sense for anyone who isn’t stupid. Not every single way of getting your message across is equal, not every way can persuade those you wish to persuade. That’s why we have “marketing” and “advertising” professionals who get paid to figure these things out. Some strategies work better than others. If you turn people off and anger them your way isn’t working.

This is like saying “I pissed on your father’s grave, and it was a cry for help. But all you did was get mad and you didn’t listen.”

Yeah, no sh*t. Imagine that.

If an investigator coerces a suspect into a false confession, can we all agree the officer would be guilty of wrongdoing? A reasonable person wants to think the Black Lives Matter organization agrees, but their actions suggest otherwise.

Have you seen the YouTube videos of Black Lives Matter members coercing apologies from white men? In both examples, it's fair to say that one side forces their will on the innocent party. Both cases are morally corrupt. And yet one is seen as tragic while the other declared righteous — neither end with justice.

So, if there’s an nfl season, any bets as to if Drew takes a knee or not?

He’s got a one-of-a-kind job where the NFL is the only game in town. How’s he gonna explain to his kids why he’s a paraplegic when his majority black offensive line abandons him and gets him crippled? It’s easy to talk about courage when your employer already agrees with you politically or you can just as easily walk across the street and find employment, probably at a higher salary, with the competition. Note that the second is an option open to accountants and skilled tradesmen, not pro athletes.

God money I'll do anything for you.
God money just tell me what you want me to
God money nail me up against the wall.
God money don't want everything he wants it all.

No you can't take it
No you can't take it
No you can't take that away from me
No you can't take it
No you can't take it
No you can't take that away from me

Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I'd rather die than give you control.

Bow down before the one you serve.
You're going to get what you deserve.

I’m a white American of Nordic heritage. My black, Hispanic, and immigrant friends are the only ones who will guffaw with me at the prissypants bedwetters who have taken over what’s left of our culture.

This athlete could have salvaged a bit of dignity by tossing his inflated pigskin around in perfect silence from the get-go. Since he chose to sound off, he should have held his ground until people started speaking up in his defense. He didn’t give them the chance, did he? How does approval become so precious and disapproval so horrific to an adult man?

If your in a position where you cannot speak your convictions, because of offending team mates, upper management, etc.
You have two choices, speak your truth and live with the consequences, or hold your opinion, and keep your mouth shut for your entire public life.

This is true for all personalities. If your an entertainer, keep your opinions to yourself, until you change roles and are no longer an entertainer. Its guaranteed, once you speak out, some will love you and some will hate you, and the bottom line is sales and value in the market. Same for football.

When asked, simply say, I am a football player, I am not in the position to have a political agenda, I cannot afford to have one, and leave it at that.

I have lost count of the numbers of people I no longer support in the entertainment field, as a result of them using their celebrity to further a cause.
