While the media collectively called President Trump's comments in Huntsville, Alabama insensitive to those suffering chronic traumatic encephalopathy (only because they saw the Will Smith movie and that's the extent of their football knowledge), real fans knew exactly what the president was referring to. Anyone who's participated in any sport knows you play like you practice. Pop Warner-on-up knows there's no way to properly practice tackling without pads, that is unless you're playing rugby. Practicing with pads only one day before an NFL game... seriously?

Friday night in Huntsville, Alabama, President Trump veered off from the political into sports and condemned the owners and athletes in the National Football League who either kneel or sit during the pre-game playing of our national anthem. While denouncing the president, let's be honest here: going to the White House for most of these black players only became a big deal when they could be pictured with the half-black president. Protesting such an honor only became taboo because of President Obama's skin color, and as President Trump is hated by most in the media and police shootings have become...

In our hyper sensitive, micro-aggressive world, the slightest inference that someone may be racist is magnified into the latest national crisis. Whether it be the president not immediately denouncing a few dozen Nazis meeting in a small town in Virginia or a bunch of college girls reciting rap lyrics in New Hampshire. But if it's a Democrat politician who goes off on a racist rant, who just happens to be a minority himself, you'll only hear enough so the media can say it was covered. This is called bias-by-omission. This is what happened recently in Texas.

So what did President Trump say during that now-infamous minute that made the media either giddy or aghast and was Kelly really upset or shielding a hearty laugh because the president really went and said "Rocket man"...?

Robert DeNiro spoke on Tuesday to the United Nations about the destructive aftermath of Hurricane Irma on the island of Barbuda. Pardon the cynicism, but if it weren't for a personal and substantial financial investment at risk, would Robert De Niro really be speaking at the United Nations on behalf of a group of people whose name he awkwardly pronounces?

One of the many reasons Hillary Clinton gave for why she lost the presidential election was the climate of misogyny. Hillary also defines misogyny as also pointing out the differences between men and her, seeing how she's the only one to get as far as she did, Hillary vs. the boys is our only frame of reference. So fine, let's go there as there are many reason why she lost and most of those reasons were of her own doing.

CNN's Brooke Baldwin can act all shocked at Fox Sports Net's Clay Travis and his clumsy introduction of female attributes in a sports discussion, but the entertainment industry still lives by the "sex sells" credo. There is no other reason why it's so in-your-face, especially during sports programming, punctuated by male enhancement commercials during breaks in the action. Given her faux outrage, Baldwin would be the last to admit that the young men seen during daytime viewing hours are cast to appeal to the bored housewife, home alone during the day. Nah, it's easier to act all shocked while working...

We can go back as far as The Dixie Chicks, George Clooney, Will Smith, or any number of Hollywood liberals who take their anti-Republican/American disdain overseas, but in their ignorant arrogance they fail to realize at the moment that their words always manage to make it back to the States. Kathy Griffin apologized profusely when she lost jobs and endorsements after being photographed with a mock-up of the severed head of President Donald Trump. It only took a few months to see and hear, once again, what a Hollywood liberal's word is worth.

Missouri State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal must have found out the hard way that the Secret Service don't play and she went from she won't apologize to a very public apology in just a few short days... sort of. She told us we all make mistakes. Not like hers, but we do. She also told us that we're not to judge her. So much for humility and contrition.

Liberals, because they consider themselves so enlightened, have no problem making racist remarks at us because we should know they don't mean it. They look down upon blacks with skills because they understand we've displaced one of their lesser qualified friends or relatives. It's much more gratifying for progressive whites to assuage their "guilt" by tossing their disposable dollars to nonprofits led by fellow fat-and-happy white liberals who don't have to achieve the goal to feed their faces.

As we're in Slutwalk month, we'll all again be told women can dress as provocatively as they want, act as provocatively as they want, and if anything bad happens as a result, the woman is never to be blamed. Sorry, but a black person would be kinda' foolish to attend a Klan rally. If he or she did and got an ass-whuppin', there would be many people who'd think attending was a rather stupid idea. Everyday on social media we see women portraying themselves in ways that, as Bill Clinton said, have that "come hither look" and we unfortunately see...

Senator John McCain is precisely the poster boy for everything that's wrong on Capitol Hill. He campaigns one way to his constituents and "serves" the American people contrary to how he campaigned. His recent no-vote to repeal ObamaCare is the best illustration as to how many Republicans made repeated promises they apparently had no intention of keeping.

When it comes to a Democrat Party that feeds off symbolism and emotion on behalf of the downtrodden, one would also think that here would be a golden opportunity to show their base just how committed they are to the alternative they've always wanted once Obamacare melted down leaving the American people no other alternative. Here was their golden opportunity to stand by their convictions, vote their conscience, act on their principles, etc. It didn't happen.

We touched on this a couple of weeks ago, daring to doubt the wisdom of computer visionary Steve Jobs when he said children would use the Internet in a more innocent, benevolent manner than adults. While there are now thousands of examples of the naivete of his statement, granted in 1981 Jobs' main goal was to sell Apple products, here is one of the latest examples of Internet tools being misused and with deadly results.

Whenever a black person is shot and killed by a police officer who's not black, it's always about race. But for some strange reason after an Australian bride-to-be Justine Ruszczyk Damond was shot and killed by a police officer who just happens to be a black Muslim of Somali ancestry, it's NOT a race issue... because the Somali community says so. It's all about them now being the victim.

A couple of major news events occurred recently with almost no fanfare.  There were no "Breaking News" graphics for wall-to-wall coverage on the cable news channels, no "official" or "anonymous" sources leaked to the New York Times or Washington Post any of the intimate details. It was like they never happened.

Only certain people get to make the potential big money productions in Hollywood and they have ways to get around anything potentially uncomfortable. HBO-Game of Thrones' David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are going to make a TV movie surrounding the Confederacy and slavery. These things have to be handled delicately and in this case, all it took was a cheap meal to get the ball rolling.

Questions media like CNN and MSNBC won't ask is who knew about Natalia Veselnitskaya's meetings with Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner all this time but never brought it up in any of the hearings or leaks until now? Whose idea was it to extend Veselnitskaya's visa at the Justice Department and why? Why is the House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing from June 14, 2016 NOT posted on CSPAN's website? Why are we NOT hearing about Ms. Veselnitskaya's activities with "members of Congress, journalists and State Department officials"?

You know an intentional pejorative has annoyed a young liberal when they insist you to back off while trying to intellectualize the rationale for the demand. Unfortunately, this attempt clearly illustrates why they are snowflakes.

Aside from the fact the pundits at CNN continue to show their ignorance of the topic at hand, this time by mispronouncing the graphic in question (.gif) by using the hard "g", the whole thing about "artistic license" and "freedom of expression" has been conveniently forgotten because the left has once again revealed something we already know: they can destroy anyone THEY want, but THEIR skins are as thin as wet toilet paper.
