Former ESPN host and current writer for The Atlantic , Jemele Hill called on black athletes to stop “ entertaining ” America because this country does not “ value black lives.
” In a column published on Thursday , Hill praised the NBA for canceling this week ’ s games in protest over the police-involved shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha , Wisconsin on Sunday .
“ On social media and cable news , some fans and commentators heaped scorn upon the players for walking out in the first place , depicting them as selfish athletes who were only throwing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ signaling , ” Hill wrote , adding that the typical narrative states that “ athletes , because of their social and economic status , are a privileged class with no right to complain.
” Hill added that this narrative is “ racist ” because “ the idea of telling Black athletes—or any prominent Black person—to be grateful is almost as old as racism itself.
” She seems to be ignoring the fact that white athletes and Hollywood stars who feel the need to lecture the public about politics are often told the same @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hill wrote , “ is that the NBA is a predominantly Black league and that just because its Black players are professional athletes , that doesn ’ t protect them from police violence and harassment.

Hill Praises NBA For Protest
In a column published on Thursday, Hill praised the NBA for canceling this week’s games in protest over the police-involved shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin on Sunday.
Why should a country that doesn’t value black lives get to be entertained by black athletes? My column for @TheAtlantic on the NBA work stoppage that brought sports to a halt https://t.co/yvXJ40v10i — Jemele Hill (@jemelehill) August 27, 2020
“On social media and cable news, some fans and commentators heaped scorn upon the players for walking out in the first place, depicting them as selfish athletes who were only throwing a tantrum for the sake of virtue signaling,” Hill wrote, adding that the typical narrative states that “athletes, because of their social and economic status, are a privileged class with no right to complain.”
Hill added that this narrative is “racist” because “the idea of telling Black athletes—or any prominent Black person—to be grateful is almost as old as racism itself.”
She seems to be ignoring the fact that white athletes and Hollywood stars who feel the need to lecture the public about politics are often told the same thing.
“What critics…ignore,” Hill wrote, “is that the NBA is a predominantly Black league and that just because its Black players are professional athletes, that doesn’t protect them from police violence and harassment.”

Hill Doubles Down
She then argued that famous black athletes are in “an ideal position to speak for Black men and women who don’t have the same advantages.”
Circling back to the NBA’s “impromptu strike,” Hill proceeded to describe it as a “historic act.”
“This was a historic act. Black athletes—and some allies of other races—sent the message that America doesn’t get to enjoy their talents if it can’t respect Black people as human beings,” she wrote.
Hill went on to say that “something broke inside these players” after the Blake shooting:
Despite the potential financial risks, the players were right to explore whether they could grab America’s attention by withholding their services. Had the NBA players opted to carry out a long-term strike, just imagine what that might have looked like: They play in cities that depend on the revenue they generate. Perhaps upon feeling the financial strain, officials in those cities might have been more motivated to reimagine their police force. Perhaps NBA owners might have been so bothered by losing money that they would have used their power and connections to put pressure on the right people to change the status quo. An extended strike also would have put pressure on NFL players to act. Pro football is by far the most popular sport in America. Nearly 70 percent of its players are Black. If Black NFL players followed the NBA players’ lead, a big chunk of the sports economy would be made contingent on racial progress.

Hill Concludes With Words Of Celebration
Hill concluded her column with some words of celebration.
“At the very least, this week’s historic disruption shows that Black players should leverage their talent to promote change at every possible opportunity. They’ve tried to sweet-talk America into caring about racial injustice, but the litany continues,” she proclaimed. “When a country doesn’t respect Black lives, it can’t expect Black athletes to hold back their anger.”
Notice that Hill did not provide any examples of the “change” these multi-millionaire athletes actually brought about with their boycott. They shamed America and white people everywhere as racists, but their protests didn’t seem to accomplish anything else tangible outside of that.
In the end, these athletes may just be learning the hard way that America doesn’t really care what they think about anything, and that they lose their relevance as soon as they stop playing their sport of choice.

Paul Discusses Attack By Mob
Paul told “Fox & Friends” host Steve Doocy that the attack on him and his wife may just be a small part of a major operation that involves “interstate criminal traffic being paid for across state lines.”
“They were yelling threats. They were trying to push the police over to get to me,” Paul said. “They were grabbing at us, and it got worse and worse and worse, and then finally, we decided to make a move. I said, ‘We’ve got to move.'”

Paul went on to say that as the situation escalated, the mob began screaming threats of violence.
“If there’s not reinforcements, we have to try to get to the hotel, which was another block and they were shouting threats to us, to kill us, to hurt us, but also threats, shouting ‘Say her name, Breonna Taylor,’ and it’s like you couldn’t reason with this mob — but I’m actually the author of the Breonna Taylor law to end no-knock raids,” he added.
Taylor is the 26-year-old black woman who was fatally shot by Louisville police during a raid back in March.
“[T]he irony is lost on these idiots that they are trying to kill the person whose actually trying to get rid of no-knock raids and they were shouting and screaming and just, really these people were unhinged, but I can’t tell you how, I’m not sure we would have made it,” Paul acknowledged.

Paul Says Police Saved His Life
In the end, he credits the police with saving his life, with one officer in particular stepping up to help the senator and his wife.
“[A]s we’re walking sort of surrounded by the police, they’re attempting to push the police over to get to me, so at one point they push a policeman backwards, he stumbles and he’s trying to catch his balance and I catch the back of his flak jacket to stabilize him to make sure he’s OK because he’s our defense,” Paul remembered. “If he’s down, the mob is loose on us, and you’ve seen the pictures of what they do to you.”
“[W]e are thankful we have police, and we’ve got to wake up,” he said. “We can’t have Joe Biden rule the country and have no police. I mean, we can’t walk down the street in D.C. safely now. That’s how bad it is.”
Paul believes that there is something far more sinister going on here than meets the eye:
“My feeling is that there is interstate criminal traffic being paid for across state lines, but you won’t know it unless you arrest them. Otherwise you just think ‘Oh, these are some normal hoodlums from a big city.’ I promise you that at least some of the members and the people who attacked us were not from D.C. They flew here on a plane with fresh, new clothes and they were paid to be here. It is a crime to do that and it needs to be traced. The FBI needs to investigate, but the only way you can do it is you have to arrest people. And usually we say, ‘Oh, well you didn’t get hurt, so we’re not going to arrest them.’ They were inciting a riot and they would have killed us had the police not been there.”
This serves as a reminder of the dangers that conservatives are facing every day in this country thanks to the increasingly radicalized Left. These days, there’s no telling what Democrats have up their sleeves, and there’s no limit to how far they will go to force their radical agenda on the American people.

James Changes Tune About NBA Boycott
On Wednesday, reports stated that James was leading the charge in calling for a boycott of the rest of the NBA playoff games in a protest against racial inequality and police brutality. However, by Thursday, James had completely changed his mind and decided that he wanted his team the Los Angeles Lakers to keep playing after all.
Yahoo Sports journalist Chris Haynes reported on Thursday night:
Ever since the league suspended play on March 11 due to the coronavirus, James had been an advocate for resuming play if proper health and safety protocols allowed for it. But in Wednesday’s meeting, players began seeing a shift in his position when he agreed to go with whatever the majority decided, sources said. With emotions all over the place, Haslem pressed James and asked the star what he planned to do, reminding him that he’s the face of the league and it goes as he goes, sources said. James then said, “We’re out,” and walked out with almost all of his teammates following behind, sources said, with Howard being the only Laker who remained.
Haynes added that when the players met again on Thursday, James had completely changed his mind and wanted to continue the season.

host Joy Reid had a full meltdown over President Donald Trump ’ s speech at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night , going so far as to compare him to Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and to accuse him of violating the Hatch Act .
The four-night RNC convention ended with President Trump giving a powerful 70-minute acceptance speech of the Republican presidential nomination on the White House South Lawn .
Afterward , Reid teamed up with her fellow hosts Rachel Maddow and Nicolle Wallace to show just how “ triggered ” they were by Trump ’ s speech .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I ’ m thinking Fidel Castro , Julius Caesar , Mobutu Sese Seko , ” Reid said .
“ That was not an American president giving an acceptance speech .
That was a monarch.
” “ He made the White House into the Trump palace , ” she added .
Not stopping there , Reid nonsensically accused Trump of trying to permanently take over America as a monarch , despite having no evidence to back up this assertion .
“ If democracy in America ever falls and we become a complete autocracy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ family moving their trunks into the White House and never leaving , ” Reid said .
“ Tonight is what it will look like.
” “ This is what it will look like to have a decrepit , corrupt monarch , ” she continued .

“If democracy in America ever falls and we become a complete autocracy with a decrepit leader and his corrupt family moving their trunks into the White House and never leaving,” Reid said. “Tonight is what it will look like.”
“This is what it will look like to have a decrepit, corrupt monarch,” she continued. “This was a crime.”

Reid Doubles Down
Reid continued her bizarre tantrum by accusing the president’s daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump, who gave a speech before he did, as well as members of the White House cabinet who were present of violating the 1939 Hatch Act. This act limits “certain political activities of federal employees” and is meant to ensure federal actions are administered in a nonpartisan way, according to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel.
“This was repugnant to see a campaign sign festooned on our property, on the White House, with a big iron gate outside so that the people can’t even come in,” Reid said. “This was repugnant. This would be the end of America. If this is what we’re going to be, this won’t be a democracy. That’s a monarchy. It was repugnant.”

“ They looked optimistic , they looked like the country isn ’ t falling apart , even though the country falling apart .

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction .
Sometimes fictions presages truth by decades .
That ’ s the case with “ Bonfire of the Vanities , ” the brilliant conservative novel by author Tom Wolfe .
It was published in 1987 .
It reads like an accurate satire of every staged racial “ protest ” movement from George Floyd to this hour .

It is set in 1987 , seven years before the Giuliani renaissance began .
Rampant crime , leftwing obsessions , an out-of-touch elite , police sold out by their superiors in City Hall and the district attorney ’ s office , and a news media hoping for violent riots to boost ratings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all in the novel ’ s mix .
Wolfe Hits The Nail On The Head And that ’ s the part Wolfe really gets right : the riots .
He writes them as staged-for-television events anchored by blow-dried airheads and prefabricated at a moment ’ s notice to get media coverage .
He also nails the cynical manipulation of race by the hard-left to advance their political goals .
For them it ’ s really never about race one way or another , only about raw power .
This was five years before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had not yet slipped into violent riot mode .
Wolfe ’ s riots are violent in a minor key , though the Left is portrayed as violent in other circumstances .
In fact , the prologue , featuring an Ed Koch-like mayor of New York , is almost a play by play reenactment of what happened to Senator Rand Paul after Thursday night ’ s Republican National Convention .
Only it was written over thirty years prior to the event .

Wolfe Predicted Racial Rioting
The novel is overtly about a very rich Wall Street bond salesman, Sherman McCoy, who runs over a black kid in the Bronx after getting lost. His mistress is at the wheel but he gets blamed. The story follows him through his life, work, the incident, and the fallout that destroys his elite existence.
But the secondary plot line is everything we see today, and sadly much of what now again bedevils New York City. It is set in 1987, seven years before the Giuliani renaissance began. Rampant crime, leftwing obsessions, an out-of-touch elite, police sold out by their superiors in City Hall and the district attorney’s office, and a news media hoping for violent riots to boost ratings and confirm their leftist racial narrative are all in the novel’s mix.

The technique known in the UK as “granny-farming” was also widely used – the operative and his team would “help” the elderly in care homes fill out their ballots, always making sure they instead went Democrat.
Another place to go to hoover up votes was homeless shelters, which are a “nearly inexhaustible pool” of voters who would be very willing to change their ballot for money.
If all else failed, they would simply just go and impersonate voters in person, especially in states that do not require voter ID. The list of registered voters who hadn’t turned out would be checked, and the team would pick one to impersonate.
They would go into the polling station and match the signature that was on the record – if the person had already voted, it would simply be an “innocent mistake.”
Ballots Are Bent To Know The Fix Has Been Done
When it came time to discuss any potential irregularities at the count, the fraudster would know which mail-in ballots would not need to be thrown out, as any fraudulent ones would be marked with a bend in the corner.
“It doesn’t stay bent, but you can tell it’s been bent, the tipster said. “Until the [certificate] is approved, the ballot doesn’t matter. They don’t get to see the ballot unless they approve the [certificate.]”
These fraudulent ballots were then mixed in with the real ones. At that point, it’s impossible to distinguish which are real and which are fake. “Once a ballot is opened, it’s an anonymous ballot.”

The question is, now we know just how deeply embedded into the Democrat machine this fraud is, can we truly trust the results in November?
