In the week since the NBA resumed games , only one player has stood for the national anthem and refused to kneel .
Now , that player is speaking out to reveal exactly why he decided to stand .
During a press conference on Friday , Jonathan Isaac of the Orlando Magic was confronted by a reporter for not kneeling during “ The Star Spangled Banner.
” The reporter then asked Isaac if he believes black lives matter , despite the fact that the player is black .
“ Absolutely , ” Isaac replied .
“ I believe that black @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my decision and part of it is , first off , it ’ s my thought that kneeling or wearing a Black Lives Matter t-shirt don ’ t go hand-in-hand with supporting black lives.
” “ I think when you look around , racism isn ’ t the only thing that plagues our society .
That plagues our nation , that plagues our world , ” he added .
“ I feel like coming together on that message that we want to get past not only racism but everything that plagues us in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is the Gospel.
” Not stopping there , reported that Isaac went on to reiterate : “ For me Black lives are supported through the Gospel .
All lives are supported through the Gospel .
We all have things that we do wrong and sometimes it gets to a place that we ’ re pointing fingers at whose wrong is worst .
Or whose wrong is seen , so I feel like the Bible tells us that we all fall short of God ’ s glory .
That will help bring us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and get past anything that ’ s on the surface and doesn ’ t really get into the hearts of men and women.
” He then dove into politics in the United States , saying , “ I feel like a lot of people have a stake in it with the flag , a lot of people have a stake in it for the president , I think a lot of people have a stake in it with hating the flag or not hating it or hating the president or whatever.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not for racism and I don ’ t think that me not kneeling before the game and wearing a t-shirt makes me mean that at all , ” Isaac concluded .
The Orlando Magic made no mention of Isaac standing , instead releasing a statement of support for the players who kneeled during the anthem “ to send a powerful message condemning bigotry , racial injustice and the unwarranted use of violence by police , especially against people of color.
” Magic head coach Steve Clifford , however , said that “ himself @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jonathan Isaac ’ s decision to stand during the anthem and not kneel , ” according to BleacherReport .
He added that Magic guard Evan Fournier said of Isaac ’ s move , “ That ’ s his choice and he doesn ’ t need to [ explain ] .

Democrat Struggles Continue As Sanders’ Supporters Demand Socialized Medicine To Be A Part Of Biden’s Platform

It ’ s no surprise that Joe Biden is correctly seen by his own leftist Sanderista allies as a senile moderate they hope to manipulate once they assume power if Biden wins in November .
Biden sees them as a force he needs to win and that he can fob off come January with some mid-level cabinet posts .
Both are trying to use the other to gain power at the eventual expense of the other .
It ’ s like watching Germany and Russia between August 1939 and June 1941 .
Now the Sanders people are chafing at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Jeff Weaver , has been called in to cool their jets .
This fracas is over socialized medicine .
The Sanders people want it in the platform and party message .
The Biden people refuse to commit to it , knowing what hay President Trump would make with the commitment .
Now Weaver is telling his own people that he and Sanders want them to shut up about it .
“ They made a deal with the Biden campaign and that they are asking all Bernie people on the committee to drop @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wants , ” said Weaver on the platform demands on socialized medicine .
But his acolytes are not listening .
Only three weeks before the Democratic National Convention , hundreds of hard-left Sanders delegates have said they will vote against their party ’ s platform if it does not include support for “ Medicare-for-all , ” their dog whistle for a complete government takeover of the entire health care system .
Other demands Sanderistas have been asked to drop include , “ superdelegates on second ballot permanent , ” “ eliminating superdelegates altogether @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voting hours , expanded early vote , ” and “ a proposal to move more states from holding caucuses to primaries.
” Tall order to get the Sanders people to almost totally sell out to Biden , relying on his private promise they ’ ll get it all after he is elected .
But they know Biden ’ s record of slippery dealing and that they ’ ll probably get shafted .
Hence their hard stance now .
“ Those reforms included ensuring that the Democratic nominee is selected solely by rank and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as was the case this year .
Because we reached that agreement , we discouraged any amendments which would violate that agreement… Senator Sanders has a long history of being a person who keeps his word .
That integrity is central to who he is as a political leader and why he is so respected across the political spectrum.
” Across ?
I bet Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton just adore the man .
Will the Bolsheviks get in line and support the Mensheviks , at least until November ?
If the classic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden/Kerensky hold them off ?
Or will he merely be a figurehead run by hard-left cabinet officers and a radical vice president ?
Before Labor Day , when the presidential fight starts in earnest , the two sides will have to cut a deal the Sanderistas will be happy with or they can make trouble for Biden like they made trouble for Hillary in 2016 .

Hollywood Star Tiffany Haddish Claims She’s Scared To Have Kids: ‘They’re Gonna Be Hunted Or Killed’ Because Of Racism

Hollywood star and comedian Tiffany Haddish just claimed that she is too afraid to have children because “ they ’ re gon na be hunted or killed ” due to racism in the United States .
“ I ’ m a little older now , and people are always asking me when I ’ m gon na have some babies , ” the 40-year-old “ Girls Trip ” star said while appearing on Carmelo Anthony ’ s YouTube series “ What ’ s in Your Glass.
” “ There ’ s a part of me that would like to do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these excuses , like , ‘ Oh , I need a million dollars in the bank before I do that , I need this , I need that , ’ but really , it ’ s that I would hate to give birth to someone that looks like me and then knowing that they ’ re gon na be hunted or killed , ” Haddish added .
“ Like , why would I put someone through that ?
” “ I am not a fearful person , but , like , I have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many , but more than two — of my friends growing up be killed by police officers , and it makes you feel like , ‘ Dang , as a black person , we ’ re being hunted , ’ ” she continued .
“ And I ’ ve always felt like that .
We ’ re hunted , and we ’ re slaughtered .
And it ’ s like they get this license to kill us , and that ’ s not okay.
” When asked where she thinks the black community @ @ @ @ @ @ @ responded , “ I think we ’ ll be a big step forward in dismantling systemic racism , and hopefully happier.
” “ I think things are going to turn out pretty good…there might be a war to pop off soon , but after that it ’ s going to be great , ” she said .
Racial tensions have been at an all-time high in the United States ever since the death of George Floyd , who was killed in police custody in Minneapolis , Minnesota back in May .
To say @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have a black child because they might be “ hunted ” by American police officers , however , is beyond overdramatic , even for a member of the liberal Hollywood elite .

The liberal rocker Neil Young just filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump ’ s campaign on Tuesday for alleged copyright infringement after they played his songs at a recent rally in Tulsa , Oklahoma .

“ This complaint is not intended to disrespect the rights and opinions of American citizens , who are free to support the candidate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ filed in New York City court reads , according to The Hollywood Reporter .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-04--Minneapolis Police Chief To Public: Hand Over Your Stuff To Robbers

How many times can I say , “ I never thought I ’ d ever see this… ” regarding law enforcement today .
Okay , we ’ ve long known the Left was into transferring wealth from the productive to the non-productive .
That is no surprise , but they usually do it with legislation .
Now , they ’ re apparently adding using crime as a mechanism for transferring wealth from victims to criminals .
Along with defunding/abolishing the Minneapolis Police Department ( MPD ) comes the expected rise in crime—well , expected by anyone with half a brain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( MCC ) and Mayor ( barely there ) Jacob Frey .
Now , I ’ m no math whiz ( ask anybody ) but even I can solve the problem of what happens when you have fewer cops .
You get more crime .
So , how to best handle more crime and fewer cops ?
Just have the victims hand over their stuff to criminals .
At least , that ’ s what the Minneapolis Police Department recently told the public .
As bad as that sounds , let me first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fault .
A police department operates under the orders of a mayor and a city council which are carried out by a police chief .
And that ’ s what ’ s happening .
The police department is warning people of a new reality brought to them by their radical elected officials .
There has been a 36-percent increase in robberies and 46-percent more carjackings compared to last year .
And with the arrest policies , use-of-force restrictions , and the budget cuts levied by the MCC , the MPD has to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ provide public safety to the city ’ s taxpayers .
According to Bryan Preston at , “ The Minneapolis Police Department ( MPD ) told residents they should ‘ be prepared ’ to hand over their phones , wallets , and purses to robbers.
” In the city ’ s Third Precinct ( recently sacked by violent socialists and anarchists ) , in just one month , there were over 100 reported robberies and 20 carjackings .
Preston writes about a victim of a car theft : she said her boyfriend had been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He ’ d stepped out to hand the customer the food , and a thief jumped in the driver ’ s seat and took off .
Preston wrote , “ They ’ re lucky he wasn ’ t shot or stabbed .
He merely lost his means of making a living during the worst economy in nearly a century.
” But don ’ t worry .
I ’ ve heard it repeatedly from leftists like those on the MCC and Mayor Barely There : It ’ s only property .
It can be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s delivering food to make ends meet .
What are the odds they had theft insurance on the car ?
Since surrendering to the Marxist revolutionaries , Minneapolis ’ leftists have continued to decimate the city ’ s police protection .
Preston translates the police department ’ s advisement to its citizens : “ You may as well let the criminals have what they want in the hope they decide not to kill you , anyway .
Basically , you ’ re on your own.
” He then notes Seattle ’ s police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ city residents a similar note , which I recently wrote about .
And with a slew of Democrat district attorneys refusing to acknowledge self-defense rights and laws , Preston also notes , “ Defend yourself from a criminal , and odds are a Democrat prosecutor will ruin your life for it.
” He ’ s right .
You need only look at what happened to the McCloskeys in St. Louis to see an example of an out-of-control tyrant prosecutor in Kim Gardner .
She not only made up the charges against the couple @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crimes against them , but also it seems Gardner may have put her thumb on the scales of justice by tampering with the evidence .
The Left is fond of flicking away public concerns about all the changes they ’ ve been inflicting on society by saying Americans have to get used to a “ new normal.
” No , there ’ s nothing “ normal ” about decimating a police department ( especially when crime is increasing ) to the point it is unable to fulfill its public safety mission .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ normal , ” the Left is infecting America with a new abnormal .

How many times can I say, “I never thought I’d ever see this…” regarding law enforcement today. Okay, we’ve long known the Left was into transferring wealth from the productive to the non-productive.
That is no surprise, but they usually do it with legislation. Now, they’re apparently adding using crime as a mechanism for transferring wealth from victims to criminals.
Along with defunding/abolishing the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) comes the expected rise in crime—well, expected by anyone with half a brain, which eliminates the Minneapolis City Council (MCC) and Mayor (barely there) Jacob Frey. Now, I’m no math whiz (ask anybody) but even I can solve the problem of what happens when you have fewer cops. You get more crime.
So, how to best handle more crime and fewer cops? Just have the victims hand over their stuff to criminals. At least, that’s what the Minneapolis Police Department recently told the public.
As bad as that sounds, let me first say—this is not the MPD’s fault. A police department operates under the orders of a mayor and a city council which are carried out by a police chief. And that’s what’s happening. The police department is warning people of a new reality brought to them by their radical elected officials.
There has been a 36-percent increase in robberies and 46-percent more carjackings compared to last year. And with the arrest policies, use-of-force restrictions, and the budget cuts levied by the MCC, the MPD has to be realistic about its intentionally compromised mission to provide public safety to the city’s taxpayers.
According to Bryan Preston at PJ Media, “The Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) told residents they should ‘be prepared’ to hand over their phones, wallets, and purses to robbers.” In the city’s Third Precinct (recently sacked by violent socialists and anarchists), in just one month, there were over 100 reported robberies and 20 carjackings.
Preston writes about a victim of a car theft: she said her boyfriend had been using her car to deliver food. He’d stepped out to hand the customer the food, and a thief jumped in the driver’s seat and took off. Preston wrote, “They’re lucky he wasn’t shot or stabbed. He merely lost his means of making a living during the worst economy in nearly a century.”
But don’t worry. I’ve heard it repeatedly from leftists like those on the MCC and Mayor Barely There: It’s only property. It can be easily replaced. Really? He’s delivering food to make ends meet. What are the odds they had theft insurance on the car?
Since surrendering to the Marxist revolutionaries, Minneapolis’ leftists have continued to decimate the city’s police protection. Preston translates the police department’s advisement to its citizens: “You may as well let the criminals have what they want in the hope they decide not to kill you, anyway. Basically, you’re on your own.”
He then notes Seattle’s police chief, Carmen Best, sent her city residents a similar note, which I recently wrote about.
And with a slew of Democrat district attorneys refusing to acknowledge self-defense rights and laws, Preston also notes, “Defend yourself from a criminal, and odds are a Democrat prosecutor will ruin your life for it.” He’s right.
You need only look at what happened to the McCloskeys in St. Louis to see an example of an out-of-control tyrant prosecutor in Kim Gardner. She not only made up the charges against the couple and failed to charge those who committed crimes against them, but also it seems Gardner may have put her thumb on the scales of justice by tampering with the evidence.
The Left is fond of flicking away public concerns about all the changes they’ve been inflicting on society by saying Americans have to get used to a “new normal.”
No, there’s nothing “normal” about decimating a police department (especially when crime is increasing) to the point it is unable to fulfill its public safety mission. In fact, rather than a “new normal,” the Left is infecting America with a new abnormal.
