Episode 324 – Does Anybody Read Anymore?

Rob Manfred’s cowardice is going to crash America’s game while doing business communist China.

When the media faces a story that goes against the narrative, they go back to COVID.

And AOC is not only a moron, she’s worthless.

 

There’s Always Hockey

Georgia passed a new voting bill in an effort to shore up the vote and keep it clear of corruption. Some of the things that this bill will do:

  • Expand early voting by 17 days.
  • Require ID for in person and absentee voting.
  • Require a reason for absentee voting.
  • Require districts to report voter numbers after each day of voting is complete.
  • Require that nothing can be given to anyone in line except poll workers.
  • Unsolicited applications are no longer allowed.
  • There will be a drop box for ballots county in Georgia and each box can hold no more than 100,000 ballots.
  • Voting can occur from 7 AM to 7 PM. Smaller districts can end voting at 5 PM.
  • Voting can be done on Saturdays and Sundays.

 

For some reason, this stuff makes voting more restrictive. Not sure how but the lies the Democrats are laying out are flying.

  • They say Georgia is restricting voting times (they actually are expanded compared to New York, Virginia and Maryland).
  • They say requiring ID is racist because blacks don’t have or can’t get IDs and do not know how to use the Internet.
  • They say that the voting hours have been constricted. But that’s not true. They have actually remained the same with smaller districts being allowed to close earlier because of low populations and they allow for weekend voting.
  • People standing in line can’t get water. No, partisan poll watchers cannot offer water to people (which is already the law). Poll workers can give water and people can step out of line to get water or can carry water with them.

 

Someone, apparently, got to the MLBPA and told them how unjust this law is and they were looking into whether or not the All Star game, which was scheduled to be played in Atlanta.

Then Joe Biden, on the news and political show, ESPN, said this:

This is unprecedented.

  • First off, what the Hell is the President doing on ESPN, a, supposedly, non-partisan sports channel?
  • Why the hell is he putting his nose into something that is up to the MLB and Georgia? Hint: propaganda.
  • Why is policy being driven by a bunch of baseball players that make millions and probably don’t understand the law? Why didn’t the reporter ask that question?
  • Who the hell says baseball players, or any athlete is a leader? They’re entertainers. That’s it. What do they know about policy?
  • How are the millionaires in baseball and the NBA hurt by this law? They’re millionaires because they can hit and throw a ball. That’s it.
  • The Jim Crowe and the water thing irritates me because it’s just a lie.
  • News flash: the North Carolina move by the NCAA was also wrong.
  • And where are the follow up questions? Why didn’t the reporter ask about what portions of the law were restrictive? There weren’t any. This was a propaganda piece made to spread lies.

 

The next day, MLB commissioner Robert Manfred released a memo stating that the MLB has decided to move the All Star game.

I can’t even tell you the response this got on Twitter. The Left was thrilled. The right and moderate liberals were mortified.

Brian Kemp, the Republican Governor of Georgia said in a press statement:

President Trump said the people of America should boycott baseball. Thhis is going to be a huge hit on the MLB because this is going to work. You know I am not a “boycott” fan. I just stopped watching baseball, even before Trump said anything. But I think something like this, with Trump’s backing, is going to have an impact.

Not we are hearing a couple of things about the story:

  • LeBron James welcomed the MLB to the “family” (pretty sure he doesn’t know anything about the Georgia law either). The NBA is down in viewership by 40% over the last three years.
  • Former President Barrack Obama congratulated the MLB on their decision.
  • President Biden’s little speech about moving the All Star game will cost Georgia $100 plus million dollars. The district that holds the All Star game voted, overwhelmingly for Joe Biden.
  • But the MLB signed a deal with Tencent Wednesday, one of China’s largest tech companies. This company dropped the NBA because the Dallas executive said he wanted Hong Kong to be free.
  • Keisha Lance Bottoms, mayor of Atlanta, applauded the decision. Wow.
  • Stacy Abrams said she was disappointed by the decision. She was the lead liar against the Georgia law but she wants to be governor and costing her state $100 million in All Star weekend services is not a good look.

The lying of our media and Leftist politicians is becoming really apparent.

The Truth Comes Out

We have more news about the attack on the capitol. You should listen to this because you might not hear anything on this again on CNN and MSNBC.

When the story first broke:

  • No name, no motive.
  • CNN said this was an attack that came from the January 6th QAnon attacks. It was a reason it happened.
  • MSNBC said the assailant was white and this was a white supremacist attack.

 

It was later learned:

  • The assailant was a black man.
  • He was a follower of the Nation of Islam.
  • He called Louis Farrakhan “Jesus”.
  • He lost his job, was financially struggling and having suicidal delusions. He had mental and emotional problems.

 

Oops.

How did the media and Left react?

  • CNN never released his photo.
  • MSNBC did little to change the story.
  • Both stopped commentating about it.
  • The Leftist, like Ilhan Omar, started talking about gun control. Oh, yeah, he never had a gun. He had a knife.
  • No one made a thing of a black man killing a white man.

 

Lies, lies and more lies.

Well, Duh!

She’s the queen of Twitter — but less successful at lawmaking.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was among the least effective members of the last Congress according to a new survey from the nonpartisan Center for Effective Lawmaking — a joint project of Vanderbilt University and the University of Virginia.

AOC introduced a total of 21 bills which the center defined as “substantive” — but that is where the story ends.

Her legislation received no action in committees, no floor votes, and none ever became law, according to the center, which takes its data from Congress.gov.

Alan Wiseman, a Vanderbilt political scientist and co-director of the center said:

“She introduced a lot of bills, but she was not successful at having them receive any sort of action in committee or beyond committee and if they can’t get through committee they cannot pass the House,”

“It’s clear that she was trying to get her legislative agenda moving and engage with the lawmaking process. But she wasn’t as successful as some other members were — even among [other] freshmen — at getting people to pay attention to her legislation.”

When looking at the legislative effectiveness of all congressional Democrats, AOC was ranked 230th out of 240 Democrats. Among the 19 Dem lawmakers from New York state, she ranked dead last.

Democratic House insider said:

“Tweeting is easy, governing is hard. You need to have friends. You need to understand the committee process, you need to be willing to make sacrifices. Her first day in Congress … she decided to protest outside of Nancy Pelosi’s office.”

A second Democratic insider who worked with her in the New York delegation added that “legislation was never her focus. It was media and narrative.”

Across the aisle, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Brooklyn/Staten Island):

“Her ludicrous policy ideas would destroy our country — Americans should be thankful she’s not effective.”

Fellow Democratic Socialist “Squad” members fared better than AOC.

Rep. Ilhan Omar sponsored 33 bills that also went nowhere, earning her 214th place.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib saw three of her substantive bills advance into committee — with one ultimately becoming law. She ranked 92nd.
