USA Today attacked one sports star for an outrageous “woke” reason

Published

on

Political journalists at so-called mainstream media outlets are overwhelmingly left-wing.

But sports writers might be even further to the Left.

And USA Today attacked one sports star for an outrageous “woke” reason.

Iowa Hawkeyes superstar women’s basketball player Caitlin Clark has garnered major attention for her sport.

Outside of perhaps women’s tennis, female sports do not generate a lot of fanfare.

But Clark’s playing style, which is reminiscent of Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry with his seemingly unlimited shooting range, has sparked interest in the sport.

Clark recently became the all-time NCAA scoring leader, and she’s destined to be the number one pick in the WNBA draft.

But Clark’s dominance has sparked a “woke” backlash.

The face of the sport

Some on the Left do not like that a white woman has become the face of the sport.

USA Today published a piece from Lindsay Schnell titled, “Women’s basketball needs faces of future to be Black. Enter JuJu Watkins and Hannah Hidalgo.”

If “white” were substituted for “black,” it would be painfully obvious how ridiculous the headline reads.

Schnell’s column goes downhill from there.

She wrote, “With Caitlin Clark headed to the 2024 WNBA draft, where she’s projected No. 1 overall, Watkins, the nation’s second leading scorer this season behind Clark, is positioned to become the face of women’s basketball. She’ll be joined by Notre Dame point guard Hannah Hidalgo, the other favorite for freshman of the year. Not lost on any of the powerbrokers in the game: Both of these players are Black. And in a game built by Black women, it matters that the faces of the future look like the faces of the past.”

Only race-obsessed leftists care about the skin color of the players rather than their performances based on merit. 

Schnell continued, “Too often, the Black players who built women’s hoops — and who now dominate the professional level, where the WNBA is 70% Black — haven’t been acknowledged. Occasionally their existence has been wiped from the record books completely, like with former Kansas standout Lynette Woodard’s Division-I scoring record not being recognized by the NCAA.”

Fake victimhood narrative

Schnell made it seem as though Woodard was wiped from the record books because of race.

The real reason why the NCAA does not recognize Woodard’s record is because women’s college basketball used to be governed by the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women.

The NCAA did not take over until 1982.

The faces of the sport will be determined by which players perform the best.

That is the whole point of a meritocracy.

The Washington Post gave away the game on Biden’s border crisis with one ridiculous column

Published

By

Joe Biden’s immigration policies have been an utter disaster.

He has attempted to blame Republicans for his folly.

But The Washington Post gave away the game on Biden’s border crisis with one ridiculous column.

Joe Biden reversed Donald Trump’s effective border policies as soon as he took office.

The expected result was a record number of illegal aliens entering the country, and Biden’s term is not even up yet.

When the border crisis got so bad that Democrat strongholds in the north were affected, Biden tried to pivot and blame Republicans in the Senate for the problem.

The truth about illegal immigration

But the reality is that the establishment does not want to stop illegal immigration; the establishment just does not want the bad press.

And The Washington Post gave away the end goal with a piece by the editorial board titled, “Let immigrants save the heartland.”

That’s essentially what the establishment wants.

The donor class of both parties wants cheap labor and Democrats want to increase the number of people who are statistically more likely to vote for the Democrat Party.

The Post argued that “[d]epopulation is bad for economies. Housing prices tank, local tax revenue collapses, the labor force shrinks, businesses go bust or leave, schools close.”

This is fascinating because leftists constantly argue that there are too many people on the planet and that people should have fewer kids.

But only now is depopulation a problem.

Meanwhile, left-wing columnist Matthew Yglesias wrote a book called, One Billion Americans, arguing for a mass migration of people into the United States.

The Left have made it harder for businesses to operate in America, sent a generation of military-aged men to fight in endless wars, and allowed literal poison in the form of fentanyl to enter into the country.

Meanwhile, the cultural mandarins of the Left are telling people to either not get married, or delay marriage and not have kids.

In that environment, the “solution” is a mass influx of migrants.

The Post added that “[t]here would be upfront costs. Shuttered schools would need to be refurbished. Local services might be strained, at first. But migrants would provide not only labor — potentially useful for elderly residents, who need help with tasks such as cooking or shopping, left behind in these places. Migrants would also add to local demand, lifting tax revenue. Many would open small businesses. Given an initial boost — perhaps with state funds, as well as migrants’ savings — they could help build a future for places that, today, don’t seem to have one.”

The Left have told multiple generations of people that they must go to college in order to have access to the middle class.

That is not true.

The result has been a concentration of people in big cities with degrees working service economy jobs.

A lot of these people would have been better off learning a trade and staying closer to home.

Another big problem with this “solution” is that public education has been captured by radical leftists.

Instead of assimilation, new arrivals are taught that the country is evil and they should maintain the culture of their country of origin.

That does not save the heartland; it transforms the heartland into unassimilated ethnic enclaves.

Colony Ridge in Texas is a prime example of this supposed heartland strategy run amok.

Pump the brakes

The United States had net zero immigration from 1924 to 1965, and the result was assimilation and intermarriage, which allowed people to adopt an American identity.

Opening the floodgates endlessly would have the opposite effect.

The Left know this, and they want it nonetheless.

Karine Jean-Pierre had no good answer when asked about one truly bizarre Biden story

Published

By

Joe Biden is prone to tell whoppers.

The Democrat-controlled media simply shrug them off.

And Karine Jean-Pierre had no good answer when asked about one insane Biden story.

When Donald Trump was in office, The Washington Post and other outlets fact-checked every single sentence he uttered.

However, Joe Biden has largely been given a pass for his nonsensical statements, half-truths, and flat-out lies.

Biden recently told a bizarre story about his uncle being eaten by cannibals in the war.

Storytime with Joe

Biden said, “Ambrose Finnegan — we called him ‘Uncle Bosie’ — he — he was shot down. He was Army Air Corps before there was an Air Force.  He flew single-engine planes, reconnaissance flights over New Guinea. He had volunteered because someone couldn’t make it.  He got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals in New Guinea at the time. They never recovered his body.  But the government went back, when I went down there, and they checked and found some parts of the plane and the like.”

Worse yet, he awkwardly linked the story to a bogus Atlantic article about Trump.

Biden continued, “And what I was thinking about when I was standing there was when Trump refused to go up to the memorial for veterans in Paris, and he said they were a bunch of ‘suckers’ and ‘losers.’ To me, that is such a disqualifying assertion made by a president — ‘suckers’ and ‘losers.’  The guys who saved civilization in the 1940s — ‘suckers’ and ‘losers.’”

First, it has been well-documented that Trump did not visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery because of weather deemed too dangerous to fly by helicopter.

And the “suckers” and “losers” comments were based on anonymous sourcing that has been countered on the record by people who were there.

After the “cannibal” comment, the White House Press Secretary joked back and forth with the press so as not to answer questions about the veracity of Biden’s statement.

A reporter asked during a briefing, “Can we see the ‘cannibal’ tab in your book?”

The room laughed as Jean-Pierre responded, “There is no ‘cannibal’ tab. What are you talking about?  Is that what you — is that what you’re asking me about?”

Jean-Pierre’s new attitude

The very next day, she took a completely different posture.

She said that the cannibal story was no laughing matter.

Jean-Pierre chided the room and explained, “He lost his life. . .[Biden] he takes this very seriously.  His uncle, who served and protected this country, lost his life serving. And that should matter.”

She also repeated the “suckers” and “losers” myth.

The Biden administration later clarified that “Uncle Bosie” was not eaten by cannibals.

This story is the latest in a long line that suggests Biden is losing his mental faculties.

Joy Behar of The View spouted one unhinged analysis of Trump

Published

By

Donald Trump is the most scrutinized man in the world right now.

Corporate-controlled media outlets are following his every move.

And Joy Behar of The View spouted one unhinged analysis of Trump.

Donald Trump’s hush money trial has begun, which means that the Democrats and their media allies are treating it like the Super Bowl.

In reality, even left-wing legal scholars admit that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case is comically weak, but the press has to pretend that he has a straight flush.

Hiding the trial

Adding to the absurdity of the case is the fact that the trial is not being televised.

Audio recordings are not even allowed.

That means the Democrat-controlled media get to shape the arc of the trial however they want.

New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman claimed that Trump dozed off during proceedings, and Joy Behar of The View used this morsel of information to psychoanalyze Trump from her cozy production studio.

Dr. Behar

Behar said, “Well, the sleeping part is, you know, I mean, between breaking the laws, posing for mugshots, selling bibles, the man is exhausted. But, you know, only a true sociopath can fall asleep in these circumstances. Think about it: he could go to jail, he could go to prison, and he takes a little nap. That requires a psychopathic mentality, in my opinion. . .The guilty person sleeps the sleep of the psychotic.”

Behar’s armchair psychology is likely based on the old saw that the guilty man who’s been arrested sleeps in his jail cell.

However, Trump was not just arrested and put in a jail cell, and anyone who has been in a courtroom understands the tedious legal process.

Also, if Bragg pushes for jail time for this charge, it would perhaps be the most outrageous sentencing in legal history.

Sunny Hostin, the most rabid anti-Trump host on the show, said, “This is a legal nerds Super Bowl. I’m kind of excited about this.”

Behar added, “Where are they going to find a jury of his peers? How many bloated orange psychos are out there?”

RINO Alyssa Farah Griffin chimed in and said, “It does track because I would be in briefings with him on one particular topic, then he would just completely sideline it and take it a different direction. This is like the worst-case scenario with someone with his attention span.”

The “Super Bowl” is just getting started.

Look for The View and other outlets to sensationalize every step of the trial.
