Legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus blasted the “cancel culture” that he says caused the PGA to yank the championship from Trump National Golf Course in Bedminster. This week, the pro golfer who won a record 18 major championships said that the tournament should not have been moved to Southern Hills in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Nicklaus said he likes PGA chief Seth Waugh but added that Waugh foolishly bowed to the cancel culture with the decision. “Seth didn’t need this job. He took the job because he thought he could give the PGA of America some good guidance,” Nicklaus told Fire Pit Collective....

I've been watching some NBA games on YouTube and decided to update my ranking of the greatest basketball players of all time. The variables are player statistics, the impact the player had on his team, the strength of the opposition, and the strength of the player’s team (such as whether he had someone to elevate his game). I use a tier system, where arguments can be made for any particular ranking for players within the same tier. In my opinion, Michael Jordan is the greatest of all time (the GOAT). There’s never been anyone who dominated both ends in a...

<p>Bashar Al-Assad is what he is today thanks to democrats- specifically Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and Nancy Pelosi.</p> <p>George W. Bush has never been a fan of Assad. Bush had been trying to isolate Syria since 2005, believing it was up to nefarious activities but democrats knew better. In 2007 then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi undercut Bush's foreign policy by paying a visit to Assad.</p>

The Obama national security team that wants to go to war with Syria and demonizes President Bashar Assad is the same group that, as senators, urged reaching out to the dictator.As a bloc on the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, President Obama, Secretary of State John F. Kerry, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Vice President Joseph R. Biden all opposed the George W. Bush administration’s playing tough with Mr. Assad. None grew closer to Mr. Assad and promoted him in Washington more than Mr. Kerry.“President Assad has been very generous with me in terms of the discussions we have had,”...

Kerry - who compared Assad to Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein yesterday - is pictured around a small table with his wife and the Assads in 2009.

A waiter is pictured at their side with a tray of green drinks - which are believed to be lemon and crushed mint.

(CNSNews.com) - Secretary of State John Kerry said in a speech at the State Department yesterday that President Barack Obama is “deeply committed to getting to the negotiating table” with a Syrian regime that the administration is convinced committed a “crime against humanity” and is led by a "thug and murderer" because “there is no ultimate military solution” to the problems in Syria. However, Kerry also said that whatever action President Obama took would “be limited,” would not involve “boots on the ground”—but that “history would judge us all extraordinarily harshly if we turned a blind eye to a dictator’s...

WASHINGTON—U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has been on the international stage for nearly four decades. But his campaign against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad likely will define his diplomatic legacy. In a little over two years, the former senator from Massachusetts who took the helm at the State Department in February, has morphed from Washington's leading advocate for engaging Syria's 47-year-old dictator to taking much more aggressive steps to unseat him, U.S. and Arab officials say. This aggressive stance has placed Mr. Kerry at the center of Syria policy in successive U.S. administrations, despite President Barack Obama's tendency to dominate...
