Captain America shouldn’t represent America?

Captain America shouldn’t represent America? That’s what Captain America :Brave New World star, Anthony Mackie said in a recent European interview.

Anthony Mackie as Captain America

As of this writing, Marvel Studios is in major damage control mode.

Mackie released this statement after the backlash:

Here’s why Mackie stepped in it.

“For me Captain America represents a lot of different things and I don’t think the term, you know, America should be one of those representations. Like, uh, it’s about a man who keeps his word, who has honor , dignity and integrity…”

Mr. Mackie, the character’s name is Captain America and besides that, he wears a costume based on the American flag. How can you expect him not to represent the country?

The character debuted in World War 2 punching out a certain Nazi dictator on the cover of his first comic issue and has stood and fought for American ideals ever since.

Either Mackie felt he had to say this in front of a European audience to promote the film, or this is what he really thinks. Whatever the case, this guy who plays the title role of, who I like to call, “Captain African-American”, has given the viewing public yet another reason not to waste their money on this movie.

Captain America : Brave New World has gone through multiple re-shoots due to disastrous test screenings and is experiencing underwhelming advance ticket sales. In other words, insiders expect another Disney movie flop.

The problem with the movie is it features Captain America, but without Steve Rogers, the one and only Star Spangled Avenger. Mackie was originally The Falcon in the Marvel Universe, a historical character as Marvel Comics’ second black superhero.

Frankly, Marvel messed up passing Captain America’s shield to Sam Wilson/aka The Falcon. He was a perfectly fine and likable character in his own right. Why make him a hand-me-down hero?

Yes Sam Wilson became Cap in the comics, back in the 2010’s but sales tanked on the book .

Sam Wilson as Captain America

Woke politics caused Marvel to virtue signal, race-swapping the character. Fans hated the change, voicing Cap should have passed the mantle to Bucky,/The Winter Soldier his friend from World War 2 who, like Rogers was enhanced by the super soldier serum.

Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/ The Winter Soldier

Bucky was a more successful Captain America in the comics because of the dynamic of him once being the brainwashed assassin, the Winter Soldier.

Bucky Barnes as Captain America

The problem most fans have with the new Captain America is he doesn’t have super strength. He just a regular guy with mechanical wings.

Anthony Mackie is a likable actor, but, sorry, he’s best as a supporting actor, not a leading man. Marvel knows this which is why Red Hulk is in the movie to boost ticket sales. At least that what Marvel execs are hoping.

But now those hopes are waning with Mackie’s ill-advised comments.

Captain America : Brave New World is scheduled for release during Black History Month (coincidence?) on February 14.

Trump calls out LA Mayor Karen Bass over wildfire recovery delays

This is why President Trump is a leader and Democrats are profiles in failure. Trump calls out LA Mayor Karen Bass over wildfire recovery delays during a live press conference.

In her best liberalese, Bass touted how city and county officials are partnering up to streamline the bureaucracy for desperate homeowners. “We’re doing everything we can , slashing regulations…so you can get rebuilding asap. ”

Bass cited hazardous materials concern as a delay for clearing the lots. That’s code for hazardous waste/environmental cleanup, which means companies bidding, leading to longer delays. Trump, because he’s a builder, immediately called B.S. Watch:

So what is the timeline Mayor Bass? Is it 18 months , six months or what? Trump told Bass and the press, several people told him rebuilding could not start for 18 months, which she vehemently denied.

Watch the video again . Did you notice how Mayor Bass left herself wiggle room with her answers not committing to definite timeline?

She then gives the answer that justifies liberal mission creep and every extra added expense: “We’re going to move as fast as we can, but we want you to be safe.”

Funny how this worry for “safety” comes after revelations of poor forest mitigation, lack of controlled burns and making sure reservoirs and fire hydrants were filled. Now safety is a concern when people are itching to clean up and begin the rebuilding process?

That call for safety is how liberalism infantilizes people and takes away their inborn desire for self-reliance and self-sufficiency. Trump calling for the common sense solution of government getting out of the way is a sharp contrast to the Democrat mantra of government will take care of you.

A woke National Prayer Service

What do you get with a twice elected president, enduring a “sermon” by a woke bishop ? You get a woke National Prayer Service.

For decades, the tradition in Washington DC has the newly inaugurated president attending the National Prayer Service.

Forget about prayers in the name of Jesus for the country and the President. This year, President Trump instead got a lecture on mercy for LGBTQ and illegal immigrants.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington DC and the first woman to hold the position, took the last two minutes of her “sermon” pleading for Trump to have “mercy” on the LGBTQ community and illegal immigrants frightened by his re-election. Watch:

I have to give President Trump credit for not walking out of the service . That’s the first thing I would have done.

No, Bishop Budde, if the rainbow crowd is scared, it’s because leftists like you are fanning the flames.

No doubt the First and Second family were blindsided by this shameful sermon. Nothing like expecting Biblical truth and getting Democrat talking points in its place. The question is how did Trump’s team not anticipate the likely message from this leftist?

The Episcopalian Church may profess believing in and following the teachings of Jesus Christ, but they have shoehorned the Savior of the World into the gospel of leftist politics and culture.

The President’s team definitely should have screened this clergyperson, especially since the Episcopalian Church is highly political.

This denomination has fractured in recent years because of pedal- to-the- metal support of ordaining homosexual clergy, officiating same-sex marriage and supporting abortion rights. Diversity and inclusion are its tenets, not repentance of sin and surrender to Christ as Lord and Savior . Budde’s diatribe brings to mind 2 Peter 2:1 (NKJV):

But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.

Perhaps clergy like her are why the Bible prohibits females as pastors, as the Apostle Paul said in 1 Tim. 2:12:

And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.

A reporter tried to play gotcha after the service only to have President Trump turn the tables. Watch:

Where was scripture in this sermon? Sure, Budde mentioned God, but only as a cudgel in her attempt to shame President Trump.

Budde’s lecture is , of course viral. Yes, she has plenty of supporters, but also many detractors.

Trump is demanding an apology, rightly so. Budde told NPR Wednesday she refuses to apologize.

In my research, I discovered the National Cathedral is part of the Episcopal Church. Because of the liberal politics of the denomination which I detailed earlier, President Trump would do well to simply boycott all services at the National Cathedral and designate another more Biblically sound church for national prayer and services.

Trump pardons all J6 political prisoners

Hours after Joe Biden issued questionable preemptive pardons, President Donald Trump follows through on a campaign promise, pardoning J6 political prisoners. Yes, all 1500 of them.

Trump virtually pardoned all the protestors but commuted the sentences of the remaining 14. He has ordered the immediate release of these American hostages.

The President’s executive order ends four years of imprisonment for these patriots, incarcerated for protesting the results of the 2020 Presidential Election.

How ironic the releases come hours after outgoing President Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons for members of the J6 committee, Dr . Anthony Fauci, Former Gen. Mark Milley, and for members of his own family.

That Biden pardoned J6 committee members without any formal charges brought, indicates the dubiousness of their investigation. Even though it had access to it, the committee never saw footage like this of police shooting concussion grenades and pepper spray into a peacefully protesting crowd.

The Uniparty pushed the narrative the protestors committed an insurrection, an attack on Democracy. It appears the Feds violated the Constitutional rights of these men and women.

Trump would not have pardoned them if this wasn’t the case on Liberation Day, January 20, 2025. Their lives were ruined, livelihoods destroyed, reputations tarnished and worst of all, these Americans were separated from loved ones for Biden’s entire term.

We haven’t heard the last of this.

As California goes…

There’s an old saying “As California goes…so goes the rest of the nation.” If that’s true, let’s hope that Californians’ realization of the failures of DEI and the Green New Deal as the cause of these devastating wildfires will spread to the rest of America’s blue states.

You paying attention New Yorkers, Illinoisans, New Jerseyites, , Minnesotans, Washingtonians, Oregonians, and Marylanders? California is the epicenter and laboratory for liberalism and these wildfires have revealed the fecklessness of these policies for all to see.

You know the players: Gavin Newsom the smarmy, greasy-haired governor prioritizing a fish over people by diverting million of cubic feet of water from farmers and cities;

Governor Gavin Newsom

Karen Bass, the awol Los Angeles Mayor out of the country at the start of the fires ,later revealed to have slashed the fire department’s budget;

L.A. Mayor Karen Bass

Kristin Crowley, the first ever female and lesbian L.A. City Fire Chief on record stating her goal for the department is promoting diversity (which really means less white men) and a Janisse Quinones, Department of Water and Power head, making a $750 thousand a year salary who couldn’t even do her basic job of keep the reservoirs filled with water.

A colossal storm of arrogance and incompetence. Watching these officials, has there ever been a more uninspiring bunch? These profiles in failure have even eclipsed even the Joe Biden Administration in their ineptitude.

This is what you get with true believers of cultural Marxism, who prioritize power over serving the people: major disaster.

At least 24 deaths, more than 10 thousand homes and structures damaged or destroyed and nearly 40 thousand acres burned in the Palisades, Eaton, Kenneth and Hurst fires. What’s tragic is this death and damage could have been lessened.

It’s because of environmentalist policies that California has not engaged in wildfire mitigation in decades. They didn’t want to disturb the delicate balance of nature by clearing brush, dead vegetation and undergrowth. This, despite having wildfires every year.

Utter madness!

In fact, Newsom cut $100 million from fire prevention in the 2o24-2025 budget leading up to these fires. However, California spent $24 billion, yes billion , on homelessness in five years.

Mayor Bass cut the Fire Department’s budget by nearly $18 million this year . And get this, she originally wanted to cut the budget by $23 million! In a land of wildfires, public safety is the last thing on minds of these “leaders.” Now, the fires are illuminating California’s anti-human policies, where a fish and plants are more important than keeping taxpayers safe.

By the way, check out this latest video in which an inappropriately smiling Bass attempts to comfort “Angelinos” only to come off as weirdly smug .

What’s a shame is how entrenched the liberal mindset has become in California’s major cities. When you get right down to it, a majority of voters willingly elected this mayor and governor.

Keep in mind, the problem does not lie solely only these two heads of state and city, respectively. California’s State Legislature and the Los Angeles City Council share the same values as Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass.

Even if these two were to both resign, or get recalled by the voters, they’re only the faces of the endemic failure of California liberal politics. This is what the people need to realize and keep in mind from now on with casting their vote in local elections.

Hope you’re paying attention blue state Dems. The policies of your radical Democrat leaders are also setting you up for disaster. Remember, as California goes… so goes the rest of the nation.

Fires of judgment

Behold, they shall be as stubble,
The fire shall burn them;
They shall not deliver themselves
From the power of the flame;
It shall not be a coal to be warmed by,
Nor a fire to sit before!– Isaiah 47:14 (NKJV)

The fires of judgment continue to rage in Southern California. Besides apocalyptic level destruction and death, the blaze is revealing the incompetence of leadership on the state and local level.

Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, you two are an absolute disgrace. You have failed your state , your city and every constituent affected by these wildfires.

You can both try to blame this devastation on climate change all you want, but even liberals’ eyes are now opening to the fecklessness of Democrat rule in California. Both of you are profiles in failure.

What’s been Newsom’s mission of late? Oh yeah, Trump-proofing California.

Hey governor, how about placing the same effort into fire-proofing burn areas? You know, like ,creating task forces to clear the brush and undergrowth. Additionally, you could have issued public service announcements highlighting of the importance of homeowners fire-proofing their properties.

Imagine if you did those things and came up with innovations for storing the millions of cubic feet of water from snowmelt and rain-runoff instead of letting it flow to the ocean? Instead you serve your globalist, environmentalist masters by diverting water from the people, farmers and cities; all this, supposedly, for saving some bait-fish known as the Delta Smelt .

Yeah, prior to California’s most devastating wildfire, I’m sure many of those very rich (and liberal) homeowners in Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Altadena, Hollywood and Calabasas , unquestioningly believed your BS about Trump being the biggest existential threat to California and America.

But I got news for you, governor. I’m willing to bet that after losing everything they’re going to look at you , your policies and every syllable you say in an entirely different light. We’re talking red-pilling.

Under your watch, California has worsened as a state. Homelessness is rampant, crime is skyrocketing, people and businesses (that is taxpayers ) are leaving the state in droves.

Actually, I stand corrected, Newsom. One business your policies have benefitted is U-haul which has had record profits thanks to people getting the hell out of California.

Which brings me to Mayor Bass , what on earth were you doing in Africa as your city burned? You should have been on the first jet back to California when you got word of the potential seriousness of these Santa Ana winds and the fire danger they posed.

When you finally returned after the initial devastation, it was deer in headlights as you then refused to answer a reporter’s questions regarding your competence?!

Mayor, your primary responsibility is to provide leadership, which means the buck stops with you. That’s your job!

How ironic those Pacific Palisades fire hydrants will become symbolic of yours and Newsom’s leadership: empty. But what else can we expect from leaders focused on DEI rather than taxpayers?

DEI breeds incompetence because when any of these ideologues are elected to leadership, it’s due to identity , not ability.

LA City Fire Chief Kristin Crowley’ made history being the first female and LGBTQ Fire Chief. But was her first leadership challenge ensuring the reservoirs were filled so fire hydrants can work? No it was increasing diversity in the LA City Fire Department by hiring more women.

Bass is the first black female ever elected mayor, yet she recently slashed the fire department’s budget by nearly $20 million, prioritizing the homeless. And of course, Pacific Palisades hydrants went dry under the watch of Janisse Quinones, the first Latina to lead the LA Department of Water and Power (LADWP).

As of this writing, the fires of judgment continue as tens of thousands of people have been evacuated, thousands of structures destroyed and at least 10 people dead. Winds are forecasted to continue off and on through the weekend.

Pray for California and pray God will use these fires to burn the scales from people’s eyes regarding the state’s dangerously inept Democrat leadership.

Justin Trudeau resigns

Justin Trudeau resigns and patriotic Canadians are elated the rule of Canada’s worst Prime Minister is finally over.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

I say Canada’s worst PM because in survey after survey the people have given Justin that dubious, historical distinction. Yes, that blackface wearin’…

virtue signalling…

dancing fool … certainly made history, but not in the way he hoped.

Trudeau steps down after his Liberal Party kept turning up the pressure for his resignation. Sure, he was one of Canada’s longest serving PMs, and they supported his destructive policies, but hey, Trudeau committed the unforgivable sin of unpopularity with an approval rating in the 20’s.

It’s like, “Sorry Justin, it comes down to party survival and our pensions. Oh, and don’t let the door hit you on your way out.”

As with all left-wing narcissists, Justin virtue signals his exit as some noble and selfless act for the good of the country and the people. Whatever…cue the violins:

Since taking office, Trudeau has continually placed global initiatives such as massive immigration, crushing carbon taxes and the destruction of the Canadian housing market above the needs of his people. Funny how all leftist globalists, no matter the country, never build anything except destruction in their wake.

Ironically, the re-election of President Donald Trump hastened Justin’s downfall. His Liberal Party and the NDP (New Democratic Party) lost faith in his ability to negotiate the tariff matter with Trump.

Trump promises a 25 percent tariff against all Canadian goods if Canada does not stop the flow of drugs and illegal immigrants into the United States.

Something’s afoot behind the scenes on a global scale. Since Trump’s re-election, the globalist coalition is fraying. Germany’s government has collapsed and France’s , barely hanging on.

We’re witnessing a restructuring. The leftist globalist coalition is shrinking right before our very eyes because freedom-loving people have had enough. Justin is merely the latest casualty of this populist momentum.

How Justin kept getting re-elected speaks of either of a brain-dead voter majority or a well- honed election rigging machine.

Was it the latter or the former? Maybe both?

Trudeau’s inevitable demise is a natural consequence from the people when the economy falls into dire straits. People flock to liberalism when financial times are prosperous only to jettison the ideology when it bites them in the pocket book and threatens their personal safety.

Trudeau steps down as leader of the Liberal Party and will remain as PM until a special election chooses a new leader through a “robust, nationwide, competitive process.” As the liberal party selects a new leader, Parliament is prorogued until March 24.

So, like Slim Pickens riding the bomb in Dr Strangelove, the next intermediary Liberal leader will lead the party into its inevitable shellacking in the national election.

Slim Pickens in Dr Strangelove

Who will that be? The majority of Canadian people could care less, answering “none of the above” as a first choice in a recent poll of liberal candidates.

On the ascendency is the Conservative Party led by Pierre Poilievre, who is widely expected to become Canada’s next Prime Minister. We’ll have to wait and see where he takes the country, if elected; but anything would be better than Trudeau.

Pierre Poilievre

Trump’s not even inaugurated yet and a new global order is forming. Poser tyrants such as Justin Trudeau deserve all the shame and ridicule of the people they shafted. It’s the MAGA effect.

Congratulations, we broke the woke

Congratulations, we broke the woke. On Election Day 2024, you, me and more than half of America said no more to woke politics.

We first started the death by a thousand cuts by refusing to support their propaganda spewing movies and tv shows where their message had the subtlety of breaking wind. Then, we drove a stake in the heart of this Marxist ideology with the re-election of President Donald Trump.

I’m no prophet, just a concerned patriot typing out these columns on a laptop in his kitchen, but yours truly predicted the beginning of the end of wokeness in this column from January 28, 2023:

You can try to force woke politics down people throats as entertainment, but the public will always speak with their wallets. Threats, fear and intimidation can only get your message so far. After a while people may pay lipservice to get you off their backs, but they will find ways to throw sand in the cogs.

Fear not. For all of its bombast, wokeism will soon be thrown into the ashheap of history as with all Marxist schemes to divide and weaken America.

November 5, 2024 will go down as the election where America said “enough!” Trump’s election broke the the legacy mockingbird media and broke Hollywood. Both came to the shocking realization no one is listening to them anymore.

MSNBC, the tip of spear of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), finds its future and branding in limbo, with its parent corporation , Comcast threatening to spin off this cable network into a new company. With all this, the network’s anchors are negotiating pay cuts. .

That’s right, pay cuts ,not pay raises.

Rachel Maddow, the face of MSNBC, is reported to have agreed to reduce her $3o million a year salary and now MSNBC is in the process of trimming the salaries of biased hosts Joy Reid and Stephanie Ruhle.

MSNBC anchors Joy Reid and Stephanie Ruhle

Plummeting ratings mean reduced revenues. That’s capitalism 101 liberals. It means why should the networks pay outlandish salaries if the personalities lose their audiences?

MSNBC has lost more than half its viewers since election night November 5, hemorrhaging 55 percent of its primetime audience. CNN has experienced a 47 percent drop.

You know why this happening, mockingbird media? It’s because you lie. You lie about everything, you even tell the public that what they see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears are wrong (gaslighting).

You are nothing but the propaganda arm for the Uniparty, DIABLO’s and Democrats. A DIABLO (Hat tip : Mark Steyn) is a , Democrat In All But Label Only and describes turncoat Republicans more accurately than RINO (Republican in Name Only).

The victories continue during this holiday season. In an interview with CNN, Joe Manchin (D-WV) has properly labeled the Democrat Party as “toxic” and unrepresentative of the values of the American people.

Like most self-serving hacks , Senator Manchin speaks the truth on his way out where his power is unaffected. Never forget, this guy voted with his party over 90 percent of the time.

Still, it’s an inside baseball report detailing the collapse of the left . Want more evidence of the woke politics dam busting? Check this out.

The Biden Administration has tossed out the proposed Title IX transgender sports rule. The administration has ditched plans to prohibit states from banning transgendered women (biological men ) from participating in women’s sports. According to published reports, the Department of Education has announced it has withdrawn the proposed rule in the Federal Register. Read more about this here.

Courtesy: Newsweek

This news is in addition to major companies scrapping their DEI programs such as Toyota, Walmart , John Deere and Harley-Davidson. Walmart recently announced, according to Newsweek,

“… it plans to stop using the terms “LatinX” and “DEI” in official communications, won’t continue the Racial Equity Center it founded in 2020 and will ban any sexualized or transgender products marketed toward children.“

This is yuuge folks. Sanity is gradually being restored before our very eyes.

However, let’s be clear, just because the left is severely weakened right now, doesn’t mean these Marxists no longer pose a danger to America.

These godless radicals will merely watch and wait for any opportunity to exploit. Never ever forget, leftists are always scheming, plotting and patiently awaiting any opportunity to divide Americans against each other.

Let’s not fool ourselves. Those in the elite upper echelons of globalists are clever and evil people. God-fearing Americans must remain ever vigilant to their machinations if we hope to turn this country back from darkness to light.

To my Christian brothers and sisters, that means daily reading and studying of Scripture and constant prayer. We must be the light on a hill and the watchmen from the tower warning of danger. Christians can only tell the truth when they know the truth.

Let us bask in our victory for now. Again, congratulations, we broke the woke, but now the real work begins.

Shut it down

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson , stop fearing the consequences to the federal government if a CR isn’t passed. Call the Democrats on their bluff and shut it down.

House Speaker Mike Johnson

That’s exactly what President Trump and Vice President -elect JD Vance are calling for. Here’s Trump’s response to this eunuch compromise of legislation.

The bill, more than another yearly stop-gap measure , is reported to be a major change of government policy. Here’s what Breitbart’s Matthew Boyle uncovered:

“It’s not a “stopgap” spending bill. Stop calling it that. It’s a massive change to federal policy.

Includes:

* First Pay Raise for Congress in 15 Years *

*Allows Congress to opt out of Obamacare and join federal workers’ health plans (this was a MAJOR point of contention during Obamacare debate)

* Funds highly controversial censorship efforts at the State Department — These 3 things alone are major policy issues that in a just world wouldn’t be rammed through in a lame duck session as the outgoing Congress was mostly just roasted at the ballot box.

Elon Musk also tweeted that bill would have also allocated three billion for a new NFL Football stadium in Washington DC.

Why should tax payer dollars be allocated for that?

Senator Rand Paul minced no words, calling Johnson a ” weak man.”

A common knee-jerk question is ,”What is it about these compromised milquetoasts , known as Republican Speakers of the House? John Boehner, Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, and now Johnson: Nancy Pelosi seems to have more testicular fortitude than all of these wussies combined.”

Now, it’s not so much of a conspiracy to wonder if maybe these are the Republican roles in the Uniparty: destroying the morale of patriots?

What’s the Democrat role in the Uniparty? They make sweeping cultural and political changes , unopposed, creating the illusion of invincibility to the American people. In other words, any attempts to stop them are futile.

Recognize this scenario? Republicans win a huge election , capturing the Presidency and both Houses of Congress. What do they do for the people who spoke through their ballots? They stab them in the back.

Oh that’s the current scenario, except now someone threw sand in the gears. That someone is Elon Musk, and his bullhorn is X , formerly known as Twitter.

Musk acquiring Twitter will go down in history as a massive victory for free speech. He tweeted dozens of posts after learning of this massive, pork-laden , monstrosity of a bill. Really, over 1500 pages?

Were Musk’s efforts effective? Uhh… yeah?

Those tweets sparked patriots to overwhelm the phones and emails of their representatives to express their outrage. Within hours the House caved, with Johnson pulling the bill.

Controversy continues with a so-called clean spending bill voted down by Dems along with 38 Republicans. And so the annual Christmas-time brinksmanship of funding the government continues. Maybe it’s about time to shut it down and see if the hyperbole of disaster lives up to the reality.

Serious patriots no longer fear a government shutdown, they welcome it.

NBA ratings in the tank

Hmmm…what’s happening with the National Basketball Association? NBA ratings are in the tank and it’s looking like the trend’s gonna continue. It’s pretty easy to figure out why.

In a recent piece at Breitbart, Colin Cowherd compares the NBA to the Democrat Party saying they lost connection with the people:

“I’m sorry. Go ask the Democrats. Be warned. Once you detach from regular people in America, you will pay a price. And it is not easy to run these leagues,” Cowherd warned.

You can read the full article here

Of all the professional sports leagues, the NBA has seen a steady 12 year decline in viewership. Ratings are down 48 percent since 2012 and this season shows no signs of improving.

As we near the end of 2024, ESPN ratings are down nearly 30 percent from last year , while TNT games are averaging just 1.8 viewers per game. Consider also, that in the past 30 seasons, four of the lowest rated finals have been in the last four years.

Why is this happening to the league of Michael Jordan, Scotty Pippen, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, John Havlicek, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Dr J, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird?

Is it too many games? Perhaps it is resting and saving star players for the playoffs through the practice of load-management? Maybe it’s the dominance of the three- point shot and less reliance on fundamentals, such as defense. Heck , even the refs are making less traveling calls.

These are certainly impactful factors, but one can easily make the case wokeness is causing NBA’s freefall. Embracing social justice is a turnoff, man.

From players replacing the names on their jerseys with “Black Lives Matter” and “I can’t breathe” to coaches like Steve Kerr criticizing the Second Amendment, fans are out. No one wants a lecture by entitled, out-of-touch and overpaid athletes.

LeBron James being the face of the NBA certainly doesn’t help the league’s image. Can you think of a star player more divisive than James? Obviously, James never absorbed the wisdom of Michael Jordan staying out of politics because “Republicans buy sneakers, too.”

As a certain president once famously said, “Everything woke turns to s**t.”

With NBA ratings in the tank , the decline of Hollywood, and the legacy media’s loss of credibility, I’d say Trump was right on the mark.
