Episode 1216 – That’s Why the SPLC Is Being Investigated!

A terror plot was exposed that targeted the UFC Freedom 250 even to kill all the billionaires. We will talk about it since the mainstream media won’t.

A big company will discontinue using the Southern Poverty Law Center’s hate map when in comes to their charity program.

And Gavin Newsom is being investigated and he’s yelling at Trump. There’s just one problem.

Why Does This Keep Happening?

According to Fox News:

The FBI and its law enforcement partners disrupted an alleged plot targeting this weekend’s UFC Freedom 250 event in Washington, D.C., officials told Fox News Digital.

Five people were in custody as of Monday, and investigators identified 23 people as part of a potential network of plotters. The alleged plan involved using explosive-laden drones to hit buildings near the event, force a mass evacuation and steer crowds toward a pre-staged sniper team, officials said.

A “second wave” was then allegedly planned to storm the White House gate, according to officials.

The FBI first learned of the threat on June 10 and worked with partners to secure probable cause for an arrest in Cincinnati, where one suspect was taken into custody.

Later in the article:

Investigators later uncovered Signal chats in which multiple people allegedly discussed attacking the UFC event. An initial review of one suspect’s iPhone identified at least 23 Signal users discussing pre-operational activity, officials said.

Some of those involved allegedly planned to travel to Fredericksburg, Virginia, on June 12 or 13 to prepare for the attack.

One suspect allegedly told investigators the goal was to target “capitalist elites,” “billionaires” or politicians who received donations from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

The investigation stretched across at least 12 FBI field offices.

That’s Why They Are Being Investigated!

According to the Post Millennial:

DoorDash has officially ended a policy that automatically blocked certain nonprofits from its employee giving program after criticism from investors and advocacy groups.

According to a report by The Daily Signal, DoorDash has instructed its workplace giving platform, Deed, to stop using the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate map” as a default filter for charitable organizations participating in the program.

The change means employees will no longer be automatically prevented from donating to nonprofits that have been designated by the SPLC as hate groups through DoorDash’s charitable giving system.

The policy drew scrutiny from conservative organizations that argued the SPLC’s classifications have expanded beyond extremist groups like the KKK to include mainstream conservative and religious organizations such as Turning Point USA and PragerU. Critics claimed the practice limited employees’ charitable giving options.

Well, It’s About Time!

According to the Daily Wire:

The Department of Justice has launched multiple investigations related to California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, including a probe dating back to the Biden administration, The Daily Wire has learned.

The revelation comes just hours after Newsom accused President Donald Trump of directing the DOJ to investigate him and his wife.

In a nearly five-minute video statement, Newsom said federal agents have knocked on the doors of his family, friends, and former employees.

In May, Newsom announced plans to make California the first state to provide “free diapers” to newborns leaving the hospital — funneling the money for the program through a nonprofit headed by a friend of California’s self-described “First Partner,” The Daily Wire previously reported.

Baby2Baby co-CEO Norah Weinstein sits on the board of Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s group “California Partners Project” — and it’s Baby2Baby that will take point on the $20 million diaper project, which is supposed to provide every family leaving the hospital with a newborn with 400 diapers.

It’s Coming to an End…Finally!

According to ESPN:

Major League Baseball on Monday decried the use of personal writings on any team-issued Pride Night hats after members of the San Francisco Giants had Bible verses etched into their caps during Friday night’s game against the Chicago Cubs.

In a statement to multiple outlets, MLB chief communications officer Pat Courtney said, “The writing on the cap violates our rules, and consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations.”

San Francisco’s Landen Roupp, a 27-year-old right-hander from Rocky Mount, North Carolina, started and pitched 4⅔ innings with “Gen 9:12-16” on the front of his hat. Roupp spoke to reporters after the 5-1 loss about his decision, and he was adamant that “there’s no hate at all. It’s just what I stand for, and what I stand on: I believe in God.”

“The rainbow is a symbol of God’s covenant with us, and we as believers stand firm in that … There’s no hate at all,” he told reporters. “It’s just what I stand for and what I stand in, I believe in God.”

“And God said, ‘This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.’” Genesis 9:12-16

Roupp brought up:

  • JT Brubaker, a 32-year-old righty from Springfield, Ohio, and Ryan Walker, a 30-year-old righty from Arlington, Washington, made relief appearances in the loss with Bible verses on their hats.
  • Also in the loss, reliever Sam Hentges, a 29-year-old lefty from Shoreview, Minnesota, took the mound without the Pride Night hat.
  • The Texas Rangers remain the only MLB club that does not stage an official Pride Night or Pride Month celebration, despite 29 other teams doing so.
  • Nick Ahmed (Giants shortstop in 2024) – Said he wrote a Bible verse on his Pride cap that year, framing it as an expression of his faith rather than a coordinated protest, but it’s now cited as part of the same pattern.
  • Jason Adam
  • Jalen Beeks
  • Brooks Raley
  • Jeffrey Springs
  • Ryan Thompson
  • Blake Treinen (Dodgers pitcher)

Episode 1214 – Street Journalism Is Finding the Grift in California!

An incredible story comes out of Boston showing what liberal governance leads to. When you listen to the story, see if you can figure out what’s missing.

We all know that there was cheating in the Los Angeles mayoral race. Now, it looks like people are looking to prove it and it didn’t take long.

And the FIFA World Cup started yesterday and FIFA already has some egg on their faces.

This Is Pretty Incrdible

You Don’t Say

According to the New York Post:

A series of shocking videos show homeless residents on Los Angeles’ Skid Row claiming they were paid to vote for Mayor Karen Bass and councilwoman Nithya Raman.

The California Post obtained copies of the videos after they were published Tuesday on the TikTok account LaneNeedsSpencerPratt.

The footage, recorded near 7th Street and Flower Street in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday morning, has since been provided to the Department of Justice. It also follows The Post’s revelations that thousands of homeless voters were registered to shelters where they didn’t live.

One shelter in Venice, where 185 Raman voters were registered, received $600,000 from taxpayers care of the socialist Raman.

In one of the clips, a man who calls himself Kevin Shepherd, claimed he received $4 to vote for Bass.

Oh Well! See Ya!

According to the Post Millennial:

A Somali referee selected to officiate at the 2026 FIFA World Cup has been barred from entering the United States after federal authorities discovered information linking him to suspected members of terrorist organizations.

Omar Artan, Somalia’s only referee appointed to the tournament, was denied admission after arriving at Miami International Airport from Istanbul on Saturday. According to a Trump administration official who spoke to Fox News, Customs and Border Protection officers uncovered “derogatory” information during an inspection that rendered Artan inadmissible under federal immigration law.

In a statement provided to Fox News, the administration said, “This individual was seeking admission to the United States. Upon further inspection by CBP, derogatory information, including association with suspected members of terror organizations, was discovered making the traveler ineligible for admission to the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The traveler was refused admission and given immigration forms that provide the section of law used to complete an expedited removal under 8235 of the INA. President Trump’s administration will not allow any security threat to enter our country – full stop.”

The decision effectively ends Artan’s participation in the World Cup, which is being hosted in part by the United States. FIFA confirmed Monday that Artan would no longer take part in referee training or officiate matches during the tournament. The organization said it had been informed by US authorities that his immigration status would not be changed.

Now What Do They Do With Them

According to the Post Millennial:

DeCarlos Brown Jr, the man who was charged with stabbing Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska to death on the Charlotte light rail, has been found incompetent to stand trial, according to federal prosecutors. 

Brown, 34, appeared in federal court on Tuesday morning, where federal Judge Kenneth Bell found ruled that Brown did not understand the proceedings, and could not stand trial. During the hearing, Brown shouted about having “material in his body” and said that he was having a “body emergency” during the brief hearing at the courthouse, per Queens City News. 

The judge, as the ruling came down, said, “[I] hope that what happens here will be accurately recorded by professional press and social media.” Brown was evaluated at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago through the Bureau of Prison. 

After shouting during the hearing, he was escorted out of the room. He shouted more at the judge and asked if the judge had gotten a letter from his mother. The killer will now get medication as well as treatment in an effort to restore his competency for up to four months. 

If Brown is not found to be competent at that point, he may be held in federal custody under federal commitment laws. Another hearing may determine is he has to be forcibly medicated. The prosecutors in the case did not present any evidence in the 15-minutes hearing on Tuesday.  

“The court found that his prognosis is ‘good’ to be made competent and set a four-month deadline to have that process go forward,” US Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina Russ Ferguson said. “The court ordered that he seek treatment and medication.”

Dumbass of the Day

Yeah, Now Do HUD

According to the New York Post:

A top Trump agency is cutting off funding to the Los Angeles agency responsible for coordinating billions in homelessness spending after accusing it of “obvious fraud,” “wanton mismanagement” and repeated failures to safeguard taxpayer dollars, Fox News Digital has learned.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which is a member of the White House fraud task force led by Vice President JD Vance, is immediately suspending the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority’s (LAHSA) federal funding while HUD’s inspector general investigates potential offenses by the agency and its leadership, according to a letter sent to LAHSA’s board chair Wendy Greuel and its CEO Gita O’Neill, which was obtained and reviewed by Fox News Digital. 

The letter detailed conflicts of interest, financial mismanagement, fraud, lack of oversight, and more from the homelessness agency, which has faced efforts by the city and county to take it over.

The move puts one of the country’s biggest homelessness bureaucracies under direct federal scrutiny after years of criticism that billions have gone into homelessness programs in Los Angeles while the crisis remains entrenched on the streets. LAHSA receives funding at the city, county, state and federal level, with the group getting nearly $1 billion from just the federal government since 2021, according to HUD.

Episode 1213 – That’s the Leader of Your Organization?!

Donald Trump finally has had enough with Iran. It’s about bloody time!

And let’s go over the House Judiciary Committees hearing over the accusations against the Southern Poverty Law Center. It was great.

Well, It’s About Time

U.S. forces carried out a new round of airstrikes on Iranian targets along the country’s southern coast and near the Strait of Hormuz late Tuesday/early Wednesday, framed by Washington as “retaliatory” and “self‑defense” strikes after Iran shot down a U.S. military helicopter earlier this week.

What actually happened

  • U.S. Central Command says American aircraft and missiles struck multiple Iranian military targets, including radar and air‑defense installations and other coastal sites that Washington argues were being used to threaten U.S. forces and shipping near the Strait of Hormuz.
  • The latest wave of strikes began around 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, following the downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter over or near the Strait; both crew members were recovered alive by a U.S. sea drone according to U.S. officials.
  • U.S. officials describe the operation as a “measured retaliation” intended to deter further Iranian attacks while avoiding a full‑scale regional war, emphasizing that the targets were strictly military.

Despite the fighting, the U.S. has both resumed getting oil through the Strait of Hormuz and even conducted at least one covert shipment in recent days.[reuters]

Current U.S. flows through the Strait

  • The U.S. Energy Secretary said on June 9 that ship traffic and oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz and the wider Gulf are “rising very meaningfully” compared with the previous weeks when the corridor was more heavily disrupted by the conflict.[reuters]
  • The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that in 2024 the United States imported about 0.5 million barrels per day of crude oil and condensate from Persian Gulf countries via the Strait, a relatively small share of total U.S. supply but still significant.[eia]

Covert U.S. shipment Trump referenced

  • On June 10, President Trump told reporters that the U.S. had “secretly moved millions of barrels of oil” through the Strait of Hormuz, implying at least one protected or clandestine shipment during the current crisis.[cnbc]
  • Financial and energy media framed this as part of broader U.S. efforts to demonstrate that it can keep at least some flows moving even while bombing Iranian targets and escorting tankers.[cnbc]

How important the Strait is overall

  • Roughly 20–25% of the world’s seaborne oil trade—on the order of 20 million barrels per day—normally passes through the Strait of Hormuz, making it the single most critical oil chokepoint globally.[britannica]
  • Asia (China, India, South Korea, Japan and others) takes close to 90% of the crude moving through the Strait, while the U.S. directly receives only a small fraction (around 2–3% of those flows), which is why the U.S. is affected more through global price impacts than through physical shortages.[energynow]

The United States will be hitting Iran (Whose Navy, Air Force, Radar, Anti Aircraft, and all other forms of Defense, together with most its offensive capability, are GONE!), VERY HARD TONIGHT. At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela, which is working out brilliantly for both Venezuela and the United States of America. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Episode 1212 – Wake Up People of the West!

The United States military has shown it is awesome, once again, and Iran might have just signed their death warrants.

Our justice system is still treats people equally. Thank God.

And a horrible attack happens in Belfast. We need to talk about this because we are going to have to deal with stuff like this.

More Heroism

According to the Daily Wire:

President Donald Trump shared previously unreported details about a downed U.S. Army Apache helicopter on Wednesday, including how the two pilots survived after an Iranian drone lodged in between them as they were flying.

Trump described the incident and rescue mission in an exclusive call with Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst. The U.S. Army Apache helicopter was shot down earlier this week when, according to the president, an Iranian drone struck the helicopter but failed to detonate, lodging itself between the two pilots as they flew at low altitude.

Flying a gunship with a live, burning drone embedded in the cockpit, the pilots faced the possibility of explosion at any moment. Trump said the cockpit filled with heat and fire before the crew managed to ditch the aircraft into the sea. The two pilots were subsequently rescued — in what Trump described as the first-ever rescue of its kind — by an unmanned sea drone.

After the Iranian drone attack, Trump warned Wednesday that he is nearing a decision to order strikes on Iranian power plants and bridges, signaling a sharp escalation in the ongoing military confrontation with Tehran amid stalled nuclear negotiations.

The drone boat was the Saronic Corsair, a 24-foot unmanned surface vessel used by the U.S. Navy’s Task Force 59. It was the first U.S. rescue carried out with an autonomous surface vessel, according to military reporting.

The Corsair was described as looking like a speedboat and was used to retrieve the Apache crew before they were lifted by helicopter to complete the rescue.

Black Supremacy is Alive and Well

According to X:

A Texas jury convicted 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony of murder and sentenced him to 35 years for stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf once in the chest during a rain-soaked high school track meet on April 2, 2025, at David Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco. Witnesses said Anthony, from Centennial High School, entered the rival Prosper High tent, warned others after a shove, then pulled a knife; prosecutors rejected his self-defense claim after three hours of deliberation. Metcalf’s parents delivered emotional statements, with his father stressing right and wrong over race, while the case sparked national debates on self-defense, youth violence, and racial dynamics, including unverified fundraising claims and celebrity comments.

Diversity Is Not Our Strength

According to the Daily Mail:

A Sudanese man has been charged with attempted murder after a ‘knife attack’ in Belfast.

The 30-year-old, who has not yet been named by police, will appear at Belfast Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday. 

He has also been charged with possession of an article with blade or point in a public place and making threats to kill.

PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher said the suspect is believed to have travelled from Sudan to Paris, and then from Paris to Dublin before taking a bus to Belfast in February 2023 – taking advantage of the Common Travel Area. 

There, he immediately claimed asylum, before he was given leave to remain in the UK in September 2023, lasting for five years.

The victim of the attack, a man aged in his 40s, remains in a serious condition in hospital receiving treatment for serious eye, face and back wounds.

Social media footage shows a man standing astride a bloodied victim holding a knife to his throat and his fist in the air. 

Heroic bystanders then intervene, with one man hitting the suspect with a hurling stick. Police said a kitchen knife was recovered from the scene on Kinnaird Avenue, in the north of Belfast. They do not believe the attack was terror related.

More news comes out over the Henry Nowak murder in England by a Sikh immigrant.

And reparations are still a thing in New York.

By the way, Happy Pride Month!

Oh, Well, OK Then!

Vickrum Digwa, 23, has been jailed for at least 21 years for the murder of 18-year-old student Henry Nowak in Southampton in December.

Verdict – 28 May 2026 – The jury rejects self‑defence and finds Vickrum Digwa guilty of murder and of carrying a knife in public. His mother Kiran Kaur is found guilty of assisting an offender for removing and concealing the knife.

Sentencing dates set – The judge sets sentencing for Digwa on 1 June 2026, and for Kaur on 17 July 2026, both at Southampton Crown Court.

This Is Still a Thing

According to Fox News:

Some Black New Yorkers are demanding cash reparations from the government as state officials consider some form of compensation for slavery or other past racial injustices.

“We need $800,000 for each foundation of Black Americans. That’s simple,” Aubrey Muhammud told Fox News Digital. “That’s — in New York — that’s about the cost of living that’ll get you a home or a small business or for you to recover from any financial duress.”

The New York State Community Commission on Reparations Remedies held a public hearing last Saturday. The hearing followed up on when Gov. Kathy Hochul in 2023 signed a bill for a “community commission to study the history of slavery in New York state” to examine “various forms of reparations.”

The Empire State joins several other states and local municipalities looking to issue reparations in some form, compensating Black residents for slavery or other instances of racial injustice. A Chicago suburb — Evanston, Illinois — went as far as paying $25,000 in cash to Black residents to address past racial housing discrimination through its program. 

As the state considers reparations to Black Americans or any other group in some form, some advocates of reparations spoke up about the importance of the identity of foundational Black Americans to be recognized.

The public hearing allowed residents to share their experiences for the commission to gather input for their effort to examine past discriminatory policies and slavery in the United States.

Here We Go Again

According to the Daily Wire:

A non-English speaking bus driver killed five people and injured 44 after crashing into stopped traffic along I-95 in Virginia early Friday morning.

The driver, Jing S. Dong, is a Chinese native with U.S. citizenship who received a commercial driver’s license from New York in 2024, according to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.

“Unacceptable. This is exactly why we are holding states accountable, enforcing the rules of the road, and cracking down on drivers who can’t speak English,” Duffy wrote on X. “If you can’t be properly trained, read our road signs, or communicate with law enforcement, you have no business driving a bus.”

Dong was allegedly driving the motor coach from New York City to Charlotte, North Carolina, when he failed to stop for slowing traffic and rammed into a Chevrolet Suburban, causing a chain reaction of at least six vehicles, the New York Post reported.

The driver of the Suburban, a 25-year-old woman from Massachusetts, was killed. After the bus slammed into it, the Suburban hit an Acura occupied by a family of four, killing 45-year-old Dmitri Doncev, his 44-year-old wife Ecaterina, their 13-year-old daughter, and 7-year-old son. The young family’s vehicle caught on fire after the collision, the Post reported.

Good Job!

According to the Daily Wire:

A Washington Nationals executive was fired this week after he claimed on a hidden-camera video that an outspoken Christian pitcher was excluded from some of the team’s promotional content because of his religious views.

The Nationals fired Sean Hudson, its director of community relations, after undercover journalist James O’Keefe posted a video showing Hudson admit to blacklisting pitcher Trevor Williams from the team’s social media content.

“One of our pitchers, Trevor Williams, he is very Catholic,” Hudson said on the hidden camera video.

The former Nationals executive then provided an example of why he avoided featuring Williams for the team’s promotional content.

“The Dodgers had a group out to the stadium who were drag queens who sometimes dressed up as nuns. He went on social media [and wrote], ‘This is wrong. This is my religion. You all are mocking it.’ Because of that, we don’t use him on social [media],” Hudson said.

The Los Angeles Dodgers were condemned by Christians across the country, including multiple MLB players, for inviting the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a drag queen group that mocks Jesus Christ and Christians, to perform at one of their games in 2023.

After Hudson was canned, Washington Nationals President of Business Operations Jason Sinnarajah went on live TV to apologize to Williams and the team’s Christian fans for Hudson’s remarks. He also said Hudson’s comments were false and “don’t reflect us as an organization, our values, who we are.”

Episode 1198 – PLEASE, SEND SOMEONE TO JAIL!

Donald Trump needs to throw some of the traitors within our government into prison. I have one example.

The Los Angeles City Council has decided to decriminalize crime which will lead to more car accidents and traffic deaths.

And Kathy Hochul bends to the economic desires of Zohran Mamdani…sort of.

She’s a Traitor

According to the New York Post:

A Democratic lawmaker is drawing backlash after saying she spoke with foreign ambassadors about getting oil to Cuba despite US sanctions, defending the outreach as “literally our right and responsibility.”

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., made the remarks during a recent Seattle briefing following a congressional delegation trip to Cuba, where she discussed the island’s worsening fuel shortages and US policy toward the communist regime.

“I was in conversations with the ambassadors from Mexico and some other places … trying to figure out how to get oil there,” Jayapal said during the briefing, calling the situation on the island “a crisis beyond imagination.”

Jayapal said the event was part of a broader briefing on the humanitarian situation in Cuba following her recent visit.

No Crime, No Criminals

According to the Post Millennial:

The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously this week to ban many types of traffic stops, placing new restrictions on “pretextual” stops to limit when police officers can pull drivers over for minor violations unless there is an immediate public safety concern.

According to The New York Post, the 14-0 vote by the Los Angeles City Council marks the latest effort by progressive lawmakers to reduce police-initiated encounters following years of pressure from criminal justice reform activists after the 2020 George Floyd riots.

Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson, who has pushed the proposal alongside former Councilman Mike Bonin since 2020, described the effort as part of a broader shift in policing policy. “This is a big down payment,” Harris-Dawson said, calling armed responses to minor traffic violations “barbaric” and “wholly uncivilized.”

Under the new framework, officers would face tighter limits on conducting traffic stops for low-level violations. The policy also formally restricts consent searches unless officers have a separate legal justification, such as probable cause or a warrant. Officers would additionally be required to state the reason for a stop on body camera footage before questioning begins and document any additional suspicion that develops during the encounter.

The proposal now heads to the Board of Police Commissioners.

I Guess If You Cry Enough…

According to the Post Millennial:

New York Governor Kathy Hochul unveiled the state’s $268 billion 2027 budget on Thursday morning, including $28 billion for socialist Zohran Mamdani‘s New York City, far from what is needed to close the city’s budget gap. This comes after Mamdani pressured Hochul to raise taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers and on corporations. However, she did not mention any tax increases aside for a proposed “pied-à-terre tax” on second homes in the city to raise tax revenue as the Big Apple is facing a $10 billion shortfall in 2027.

“To help out New York City, we’re finalizing the details of a pied-à-terre tax to help close the city’s budget cap without eroding its tax base or burdening hard-working New Yorkers. And I’ll have more to say on that soon, but I want to be very clear, my commitment to New York City has been and always will be ironclad. This budget already includes $28 billion in total aid for the city,” Hochul said.

She noted that the total funding also includes a $9 billion increase from when she took office, but it is only a $2.2 billion increase since the FY 2026 budget was proposed, giving the Big Apple $25.8 billion. The pied-à-terre tax is only expected to raise around $320 million in tax revenue, far from the needed $5.4 billion to close the budget gap in 2026, per the New York Post. The New York City comptroller’s office expects that the $5.4 budget gap will balloon to $10.4 billion in 2027 unless more is done.

Hochul also took aim at the Trump administration, saying that the administration “gutted federal funds that we’ve learned to rely on,” which included $10 billion. She also touted how she has pushed sanctuary city policies, which bar local police from working with ICE to detain illegal immigrants.

The delayed budget, originally due on April 1, comes after Mamdani has been pressuring Hochul and begging for Albany to send them more funding as the Big Apple is facing a $5.4 billion budget gap. Ahead of Hochul unveiling the budget, state lawmakers were working to adjust pension funds and were hashing out up until Wednesday evening. The governor has been adamant that Mamdani needs to shore up some funds in the city in order to save his ever-growing $127 billion budget.

Not Enough

According to California Post:

A former medical staffer at a now-shuttered federal women’s prison in California has been sentenced, marking the final criminal case tied to what authorities describe as the largest sexual abuse scandal ever uncovered inside a US federal prison system.

US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers on Friday ordered Jeffrey Wilson, 32, of Eureka, to serve 4.3 years behind bars after he admitted to sexually abusing an incarcerated woman at the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, Fox’s KTVU reported.

The facility, located east of Oakland, once widely known among inmates as a “rape club,” was closed in 2024 following years of misconduct allegations involving staff.

Wilson’s sentencing brings closure to the criminal prosecutions involving 10 former employees from FCI Dublin accused of sex crimes against inmates.

Just Leave!

According to the Post Millennial:

Just weeks before Memorial Day and amid the United States’ 250th anniversary year, a city council member in Lynnwood, Washington, launched into a tirade against the American flag, declaring that the Pride flag is far more relatable to her and suggesting the 27 US flags at Wilcox Park should be replaced.

According to the Lynnwood Times, Councilwoman Isabel Mata made the remarks during the May 4 City Council meeting while discussing the city’s flag display policies. “To me, a pride flag is way more relatable than an American flag. I would not raise an American flag at my house because I just, I wouldn’t. I wasn’t even born here. But I would raise a pride flag,” Mata said.

A couple of things:

  • They are raising the American flag for Memorial Day. That celebrates those who gave their lives for this country.
  • The pride flag represents nothing. People did not die for gay people.
  • There are good things in other cultures, but our culture is the most important and best. Period!
  • Yes, the United States had a troubled history. All countries on the face of the Earth have the same troubled history and most have a worse history!

They’re Still Fighting

According to Reduxx:

A trans-identified male freshman from an elite school in California won the Women’s Varsity 400-meter race at the Prep League Championship Finals last week, defeating a number of more experienced female athletes to the title, including his own sister.

Paul Haaga, also known as “Lina,” won the girls’ final with a time of 59.45 seconds. His older sister, Sienna, finished second with 60.03 seconds.

Haaga attends the elite Polytechnic School in Pasadena, where tuition fees can reach $48,000 or more per year, while his sister attends the neighboring Flintridge Preparatory School. Haaga also helped his team take gold in the Women’s Varsity 4 x 400 relay to clinch first place by just under a second, once again pushing his sister into second place.

Despite only being a 14-year-old freshman, Haaga has already established himself as a strong competitor within multiple girls’ athletic disciplines.

What IS Wrong With People

According to the New York Post:

A heartless Florida woman killed 11 baby ducks by driving her car over the helpless brood “multiple times” because she was ticked off that they messed up her yard, according to police.

Beverly Sasberry, 64, was hit with 11 counts of felony animal cruelty for the shocking April 25 incident outside her home in Jacksonville, the sheriff’s office said on Facebook.

The department said a pair of passersby saw Sasberry behind the wheel of her red Honda Accord as she mowed down the ducklings and turned “her vehicle around multiple times to hit them.”

Later in the article:

The cruel incident comes just over three months after shocking surveillance video footage captured youngsters stomping and killing a duck in Fort Lauderdale.

The clip, which came from a neighbor’s Ring camera, was so disturbing that cops pulled it from the police department’s online announcement of a $5,000 reward for information on the young culprit.

In another gruesome animal cruelty case, Craig Vogt, 61, was arrested by the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office in Florida in September for allegedly killing, cooking and eating two of his pet peacocks.

According to police records, Vogt was angry that his neighbor kept feeding the birds so he killed them in a twisted act of revenge — and put a letter in the neighbor’s mailbox to tell him what he had done.

This Is Not the Solution

According to the California Post:

A newly launched Christian cell-phone network is aiming to be the first in the US to block pornography and LGBT content.

“We are going to create — and we think we have every right to do so — an environment that is Jesus-centric, that is void of pornography, void of LGBT, void of trans,” said Radiant Mobile’s founder, Paul Fisher, to the MIT Technology Review.

The phone network, which is scheduled to launch Tuesday, does not own any cell towers but rather buys bandwidth from T-Mobile, similar to President Trump’s “Trump Mobile” launched last year.

It uses the Israeli cybersecurity firm Allot to sort website domains into more than 100 content categories, blocking all pornographic content.

The company also has a default-on filter targeting “sexuality” content, aiming to remove gender-related and LGBT material from every device on the plan.

Fisher — who previously worked as an agent for supermodels such as Naomi Campbell — highlighted how the technology can even block specific sections of websites, such as a page on the Yale University site dedicated to LGBT issues.

You’ve Got to be Kidding

According to the California Post:

California’s soaring cost for its dragged-out high-speed rail construction was inflated by another recent political embarrassment for the state: labor icon Cesar Chavez.

Calls are growing for California’s high-speed rail to be abandoned completely after revelations this week that the estimated cost of completing the fantasy train project has ballooned to a staggering $231 billion.

We’ve now learned about a billion dollars of that cost stems from a reroute around the resting place of Chavez and his wife at the Cesar E. Chavez National Monument in Keene — and rail regulators are now open to reconsidering, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Board directors at the High-Speed Rail Authority needed to route the train through the Tehachapi Mountains, which separates the San Joaquin Valley from the Mojave desert. Standing in the way was the national monument, a 187-acre compound and former headquarters of the United Farm Workers.

The Authority was under pressure to not disturb Chavez’s gravesite, as he was a revered figure for California Democrats.

Representatives for the Chavez center had argued that plans to expand tracks already near the memorial would be noisy and disrupt visitors. In response, the plan was altered to moved the track three-quarters of a mile away from the monument boundary, becoming a curve that would have to go through roads and tunnels.

That would cost $815 million, officials estimated in 2020 — now around $1 billion with inflation.

Episode 1197 – I Remember When…

Remember when every cop had to wear a body cam because of the “epidemic” of “police brutality”? We actually saw what happened during these police incidents. Well, the Left is changing their minds.

California has a solution to the crisis that involves their high speed train project.

And why do activist judges keep letting illegal aliens murders out of jail?

Do You Remember…?

According to Fox News:

Seattle’s socialist mayor Katie Wilson is facing fierce blowback on social media after a 77-year-old man was seen on video being beaten by two individuals in a crime that was captured by closed-circuit television cameras, a tool that Wilson has denounced in the past as something that makes the community feel unsafe and “vulnerable.”

The elderly man was walking down the street in downtown Seattle last month when two men walking by him stopped, without any provocation, shoved him to the ground and beat him, KOMO News reported. 

Ahmed Abdullahi Osman, 29, was later arrested and charged with second-degree assault, and police are looking for the second suspect. Osman was reportedly booked into jail the night of the assault and then released back onto the streets before a bail hearing. 

Some things:

  • Trump is not going to take over the cameras.
  • You know, Trump is not going to be in office for long.
  • Do you remember when the Left demanded that police all have body cams?
  • Now we actually see what the police have to go through on a daily basis?
  • Now there’s outrage because a police shooting will have body cam footage released immediately and we know the shooting was justified.
  • Now, cameras are racist.
  • I also want to ask, why are cameras racist? Why do they alienate the immigrants? Could it be because they capture the crimes of minorities and immigrants and maybe not all bad things happen because of white people?
  • The stats don’t lie, folks. Immigrants and minorities commit most of the crimes in the United States. We are seeing it right now.

Don’t Fix Anything

According to the New York Post:

Critics of California’s long-overdue high-speed rail project are aghast after statehouse Democrats pushed through legislation that would give the rail auditor the power to shield its reports from the public.

The bill, which passed the California Assembly on Monday and sits at the state Senate, lets the Inspector General do so if publication “would pose a substantial and articulable risk to the project or to state operations if publicly disclosed.”

The role of the Inspector General has gained even more prominence in light of new estimates that the total cost of the train has ballooned to $231 billion. The fantasy project, which broke ground in 2015, is far from finished.

Letting the Inspector General hide details, critics say, is the wrong move.

Insight is needed now more than ever after analysts raised red flags with the High-Speed Rail Authority’s new business plan.  A state analysts’ report warned of “several issues”, such as uncertain funding assumptions and shifting the project’s scope in violation of current state law.

If details are determined confidential, the bill would have the auditor only deliver the report to state officials overseeing the project.

The bill’s author, Assemblymember Lori Wilson (D), dismissed the criticism and said the bill actually improves transparency.

“Concerns were initially raised that this bill would keep information confidential. In fact, this bill does the exact opposite by requiring the inspector general to make its reports public, which is not required under current law,” she said Monday on the Assembly floor.

Why Does This Keep Happening?

According to the Daily Wire:

A federal judge appointed by former President Joe Biden cut an illegal immigrant murder suspect loose, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Bryan Rafael Gomez is wanted in his home country of the Dominican Republic for murder, DHS said Thursday. Despite having an active warrant, U.S. District Court Judge Melissa R. DuBose ordered Gomez’s release from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention on Tuesday.

Gomez crossed the border illegally near Lukeville, Arizona, in 2022, DHS said. Border Patrol agents apprehended him at the time and subsequently released him into the country.

The Coordination of the Courts of Instruction of the National District of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, issued a criminal arrest warrant for Gomez for homicide on Jan. 24, 2023, according to DHS.

Officers with the Worcester Police Department arrested Gomez on April 4, 2026, for assault and battery, according to DHS. Local authorities honored an ICE detainer, handing Gomez over to federal immigration agents after he was released on $500 bail.

Gomez had filed a habeas petition, which is a legal challenge to his detention, and DuBose allowed for his release on “minimal release conditions,” according to Fox News.

Why Not?

According to the Post Millennial:

The Department of Justice announced on Friday that it has readopted firing squads as a means to carry out federal death sentences. The DOJ said that the move was part of an effort to “restore its solemn duty to seek, obtain, and implement lawful capital sentences.”

A press release from the department stated, “Among the actions taken are readopting the lethal injection protocol utilized during the first Trump Administration, expanding the protocol to include additional manners of execution such as the firing squad, and streamlining internal processes to expedite death penalty cases. These steps are critical to deterring the most barbaric crimes, delivering justice for victims, and providing long-overdue closure to surviving loved ones.”

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement, “The prior administration failed in its duty to protect the American people by refusing to pursue and carry out the ultimate punishment against the most dangerous criminals, including terrorists, child murderers, and cop killers. Under President Trump’s leadership, the Department of Justice is once again enforcing the law and standing with victims.”

The announcement came alongside the release of a report titled “Restoring and Strengthening the Federal Death Penalty.” In the report, Blanche said that “despite federal prosecutors consistently seeking and defending capital sentences under the leadership of both political parties, the Department had not prioritized implementing them.”

The report stated that under the Biden administration, then Attorney General Merrick Garland “imposed a moratorium on federal executions, directed prosecutors not to seek death sentences, and dismantled the federal government’s capital punishment apparatus. He also recommended that President Biden commute the lawful death sentences of thirty-seven convicted murderers, and he did so without fully considering the views of the victims’ families, the communities that endured these crimes, or the prosecutors who tried these cases. These actions inflicted untold damage on countless lives and, ultimately, on the public’s confidence in the rule of law itself.”

Episode 1190 – Digging Deep to Find Racism!

Surprise, surprise, surprise! Talks with Iran may begin again this week.

The Donald Trump and Pope Leo are having a tiff. I have some thoughts.

And have you mowed your lawn this week? If you did, you are a racist!

News

Here is some news:

  • Peace talks between the U.S. and Iran could restart as soon as Thursday this week after President Donald Trump imposed a blockade on Iranian ports.
  • A fragile truce between Tehran and Washington remains in place as leaders attempt to negotiate a wider deal.
  • I do have some comments about the Pope Leo/Donald Trump kurfuffle.
  • President Joe Biden’s administration relied on information gathered from radical pro-abortion groups to track, prosecute, and snoop on peaceful pro-life protesters, shocking emails released Tuesday by the Trump administration show.

Do Any of These Guys Take Any Personal Responsibility?

According to the Daily Wire:

Maine Democrat Graham Platner, who is running for the U.S. Senate in Maine, faced backlash for his Nazi-symbol tattoo and several nasty social media posts — and during a recent interview, he attributed both on the “culture” that he was exposed to while serving in the United States military.

Platner, who served both in the Marine Corps and the U.S. Army, got the tattoo covered up after the initial public outcry, appeared on “The Takeout with Major Garrett” — and he argued that the “hyper-masculine” culture in the infantry had “colored” his perspective in the past.

So military culture, hyper-masculinity (toxic masculinity), and hyper-violence caused him to be a racist and get a Nazi tattoo. Hmm, OK.

Also, he admits that he’s a racist. And he decided not to be a racist and get rid of that tattoo after he decided to run for the Senate.

Makes absolute sense to me. Let’s vote for him.

By the way, he wouldn’t be the first Democrat that was a racist.

Dumbass of the Day

According to the Post Millennial:

A woke TikTok user is facing widespread backlash online after posting a video arguing that maintaining a well-kept lawn is tied to racism. 

The user, @softchaoschannel, shared a video on Monday on TikTok, saying, “I can’t stop thinking about how grass lawns are racist and like, based in white supremacy.” 

Um, so keeping a nice lawn is white supremacy? Does that mean blacks and other people of color don’t like nice lawn (I know that’s not true)?

Why is a well-kept lawn racist? Is it because blacks are incapable to keep lawn well manicured?

Probably. The Left already tells us blacks can’t be on time, can’t work hard, can’t get IDs, can’t get into colleges and so forth.

This is the bigotry of low expectations. This is racism. This is the true white supremacy. All infront of her nice house and, probably, well-manacured lawn.

Episode 1172 – Rest in Peace, Lou!

Boots may be on the ground in Iran, but not American boots.

A horrible story comes out of Miami and there are some big questions we should ask.

And football loses one of its greatest coaches.

News

Here is some news:

  • Legendary Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz has died at the age of 89, the university announced on Wednesday.
    • Holtz was considered one of the most influential coaches in college football history, winning 249 games as a collegiate head coach. He began his coaching career at William & Mary in 1969 and spent one season in the NFL before returning to college football.
    • One hundred of those wins happened at Notre Dame, where he served as head coach from 1986 until 1996.
    • Holtz was also a close friend and longtime supporter of Donald Trump. The president honored Holtz with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in December of 2020 for his contributions to the nation.
  • The Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Wednesday that federal appeals courts must defer to immigration judges when reviewing asylum decisions.
    • The court’s ruling, written by Biden-appointed Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, stated that immigration laws require federal courts to use a “substantial-evidence standard” when reviewing immigration judges’ decisions regarding whether an asylum seeker would face “persecution” if deported from the country. 
    • Jackson noted that courts must meet a high bar before overturning an immigration judge’s findings. “the agency’s determination whether a given set of undisputed facts rises to the level of persecution under §1101(a)(42)(A) is generally ‘conclusive unless any reasonable adjudicator would be compelled to conclude to the contrary.’”
  • The Senate voted against a resolution that would have required President Donald Trump to seek congressional approval before taking further military action in Iran.
  • Boot are on the ground in Iran. The Kurds, a group located in the western portion of Iran and have been contained by the IGRC have joined the fight.
  • Britain and France may have to join the fight in Iran because of an attack of a British base in Cyprus and attacking French bases.

According to Perplexity:

A Georgia father, Colin Gray, was just convicted of second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter over his teenage son’s 2024 high school shooting, and a Michigan father, James Crumbley, was earlier convicted of involuntary manslaughter for his son’s 2021 school shooting.

The Padres Have Enough Problems

According to the New York Post:

Once California tax laws entered the equation, two was greater than three for Merrill Kelly.

The math was done by the veteran pitcher at some point this offseason, when he was a free agent deciding between two options for his MLB future.

No. 1 was a two-year, $40 million contract with the Diamondbacks. No. 2, at least on paper, seemed better.

It was a three-year, fully guaranteed deal with the Padres that appeared to have a similar average annual value.

Kelly, though, chose the former — and during a sitdown interview with Foul Territory’s Scott Braun and A.J. Pierzynski this week, he explained the decision was almost entirely due to the Golden State’s tax system.

“I don’t think it’s any secret on how much money you get taken out of your pocket when you go to California,” the 37-year-old right-hander said.

There were, of course, other factors that pulled Kelly toward Arizona. He went to high school at Desert Mountain in Scottsdale and played collegiately at Arizona State.

And, the father of two young kids has called the Phoenix area home while logging innings for the Snakes in each of the past seven seasons.

“Coming back here,” he admitted, “it was always the priority.”

But after Pierzynski jokingly told him he was “the first person ever that’s been offered a bunch of money to go live in San Diego and said no,” Kelly made it crystal clear that giving away a significant portion of his income to a state government was ultimately a dealbreaker for him.

“I love San Diego,” Kelly said. “It’s just, like I said, they take too much money out of my pocket, man. The taxes over there are a different level.

What A Shock

According to the New York Post:

The number of properties sold in California over the past three years was 24% lower than the same time period before the Great Recession, sparking fears of a statewide crash.

The Golden State had 954,423 property sales in 2023-25, down from 1.25 million in 2007-2009, according to figures from real estate data provider Attom.

That means homebuying in California was 24% slower over the past three years than it was in the run-up to the apocalyptic housing crash that triggered the Great Recession.

California’s sales pace over the past three years is down 31% compared to the previous 18 years, while the nationwide drop was 6%.

But while the statewide median property price plummeted 55% — from nearly $600,000 in 2007 to roughly $275,000 in 2009 — prices have actually increased over the past three years, the Orange County Register’s business columnist Jon Lansner reported.

California’s median home price rose 9% from December 2022 to December 2025, reaching $710,000, just 5% below its all-time high.

When the subprime mortgage market collapsed, many homeowners couldn’t find a buyer and walked away from their houses after foreclosures, as the Fed lowered interest rates.

As people were forced out of homes they couldn’t afford, the resulting oversupply tanked property values.

But the current Mexican standoff in California stems from the lock-in effect: owners with 3% mortgage rates refuse to sell and move into a new 7% rate, keeping the market frozen.

Sellers reluctant to lose their low rates and buyers unable to afford high ones result in today’s stagnant market, keeping prices high because inventory is scarce.

On top of that, the first-time buyer affordability index shows less than a third of California households could qualify for a starter home in 2023-25.

Only 30% of households in the state qualified, down from 49% in 2007-09, according to figures from the California Association of Realtors.

Earlier this year, 30-year mortgage rates dipped below 6% for the first time since 2022, offering potential relief to would-be homeowners.

But Lansner warned that no rapid price correction is likely.

In the three years after the Great Recession, California housing sales grew by just 8% while home prices recovered by 15% through the end of 2012, according to official figures.

He Shouldn’t Be Running

According to the California Post:

An elementary school in Fresno was forced to file a police report after a child sex offender running for city council held a press conference just steps away.

Rene Campos, 41, a candidate in Fresno City Council‘s District 7 race, spoke Friday on a street outside St. John’s Cathedral to address outrage over his past, the Fresno Bee reported.

He was about 10 feet away from Big Picture Elementary School, a public charter school, which later contacted local cops.

Until 2015, under Jessica’s Law, California prohibited registered sex offenders from living within 2,000ft of any school or park in the state.

The law was later declared unconstitutional by the California Supreme Court, which ruled that residency restrictions must be applied on a case-by-case basis.

It remains unclear whether Campos is subject to any specific court orders, restraining orders or individualized restrictions related to his offense, or whether his limitations fall solely under California’s general sex offender registration requirements.

Campos, who is running to unseat incumbent Nelson Esparza, has not publicly clarified the scope of any conditions that may apply to him. The Post reached out for comment.

Esparza said the council is considering legislation to prevent people like Campos from seeking office. Other city leaders were also furious.

A Hero!

According to the New York Post:

A Nashville elementary school has cleared the record of a first-grade teacher who was disciplined for refusing to read a book about same-sex marriage to his young students, according to a report.

KIPP Antioch College Prep Elementary issued a “final warning letter” to teacher Eric Rivera in January after he declined to read an LGBTQ book to his class that was included in the language arts curriculum. 

Due to his Christian beliefs, Rivera said he could not in good conscience read the book to his class, according to legal group First Liberty Institute, and he asked a colleague to read the book instead.

The next day, Rivera was summoned to the principal’s office and threatened with termination. He was told he must maintain “fidelity” to the curriculum, and a discipline letter was placed in his personnel file.

First Liberty said Rivera had received no prior warnings and had no discipline history. Afterward, he asked for a religious accommodation but was instead reassigned to a lab and technology position and then to a kindergarten position, according to the legal group.

After facing a warning letter from First Liberty in February, KIPP Antioch agreed to clear the incident from Rivera’s record, according to a press release Monday from the legal group.

The school will now also allow “all teachers to ask another employee to read materials objectionable to their faith.”

This Probably Is Not Going to Fix Anything

According to the California Post:

The effort to breathe boozy life back into the state’s struggling downtown comes courtesy of a pair of San Francisco lawmakers who want to let cities create special zones where bars and restaurants can serve drinks until 4 a.m., two hours past the legal closing time.

“The nightlife economy is responsible in our state without a doubt for tens of billions of dollars in revenue, hundreds of thousands of jobs,” Matt Haney, a Democratic state assemblyman who introduced the bill, told CBS News.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the number of people visiting businesses in downtowns across the Golden State. California cities are recovering at different rates, but none have reached the levels saw in 2019.

“Getting people back out in the streets is key to the economic recovery of cities across California,” said Wiener, a Democratic state senator who introduced the bill along with Haney.

“By creating Entertainment Zones, we’re giving people a reason to go back to areas where recovery has been slow while creating a vital new revenue stream for bars and restaurants.”

Should the bill pass, bars would need to pay an extra $2,500 each year for a permit to sell alcohol until 4 a.m.

“When the sun goes down, there is so much that is economic and culturally important,” Haney told CBS News.

Episode 1171 – Ciao to Jasmine’s Political Career!

A shocking mortality statistic comes out of Canada.

I have another reason why one can’t hate the NBA enough.

And we must say farewell to the political of Jasmine Crockett.

This Is The End!

Maybe We Should Invade Canada

According to the Post Millennial:

Canada is fast approaching its 100,000th death from Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID), a grim milestone that puts it way ahead of every other nation.

Health Canada reported that 76,475 Canadians had died under MAID as of December 31, 2024. New cases were arriving at roughly 45 per day, with 2024 alone recording 16,499 deaths. Even if approvals have steadied in recent months, the government’s own trajectory suggests the 100,000th death could come in early June, weeks before the 10th anniversary of Bill C-14, which first legalized doctor-assisted suicide.

“This spring, we’re about to hit our 100,000th individual,” said Canadian anti-MAID activist Kelsi Sheren on a podcast with British rapper Nzube Udezue, known as Zuby, according to the National Post. Sheren has tracked the milestone closely, warning that the country is approaching a six-figure tally in assisted deaths.

Canada legalized MAID in 2016, years after the Netherlands and Belgium, which began allowing assisted suicide in 2002 and 2003, respectively. Unlike Belgium,  Canada does not yet permit assisted suicide for patients suffering solely from mental illness, a step planned for early 2027, but the pace of deaths isn’t slowing down.

Even as a later adopter, Canada’s MAID numbers have surged faster than any other jurisdiction. In 2020, assisted deaths jumped 36.8 percent from 5,461 to 7,451, then climbed another 34.8 percent to 9,842 the following year.  If trends continue, Canada could surpass the combined totals of every other country with legal euthanasia in a single year.

New Zealand, comparatively, has recorded roughly 1,000 deaths since 2021, Spain 697 in its first three years, and Colombia 692 between 2015 and 2023. In the US, state-level assisted suicide has existed since 1998, with total deaths reaching 5,329 across all states by 2022.

Even in Europe, long-standing euthanasia programs have produced smaller totals. Switzerland tallied 8,738 deaths over 20 years, Belgium 33,647 over 21 years. Only the Netherlands reports a higher share of assisted deaths relative to total mortality—5.8 percent versus 5.1 percent for Canada—but the larger Canadian population means more individual lives lost: 16,499 in 2024 alone, compared with 9,958 in the Netherlands.

You Couldn’t Hate the NBA Enough

According to the Daily Wire:

The Atlanta Hawks are apparently making the most out of International Women’s Month by teaming up with a famous strip club as part of their promotional “Magic City Monday” game on March 16.

The NBA team put out a release that stated the “Magic City Monday” game will honor one of Atlanta’s “iconic cultural institutions” with special food and a halftime performance by Atlanta great, T.I.

“The Hawks have worked with Magic City to bring the ‘best of’ the phenomena for fans in attendance at the award-winning State Farm Arena,” the statement read.

“We doin’ this one for the city… Magic City,” T.I. said.

The famous Atlanta strip club has been around since the ’80s and is known for more than just its strippers. Magic City is famous for its lemon pepper wings, which will be featured at the “Magic City Monday” game in a few weeks.

“From the food to the music and the exclusive merchandise, we are excited to team up with Magic City to create an authentic, True to Atlanta-inspired game experience,” said Hawks Executive Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer Melissa Proctor.

The wings are apparently so good that during the NBA bubble season in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, former Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams broke protocol to visit Magic City for the wings and was forced to miss games because of the mandatory 10-day quarantine the league required.

Not all NBA players are excited for this collab during a month that’s meant to celebrate women’s accomplishments. San Antonio Spurs center Luke Kornet penned an article asking Atlanta to cancel “Magic City Monday” theme night because he said the promotion doesn’t protect or esteem women and would reflect poorly on the NBA.

“The NBA should desire to protect and esteem women, many of whom work diligently every day to make this the best basketball league in the world,” Kornett wrote. “We should promote an atmosphere that is protective and respectful of the daughters, wives, sisters, mothers, and partners that we know and love.”
