thepoliticalinsider--2020-07-03--Washington Redskins Opens Review Into Name, Sources Say Change ‘Likely’

The Washington Redskins have opened a review into their team ’ s name , with a name change seeming “ likely ” according to inside sources .
“ A Thorough Review Of Our Team ’ s Name ” “ In light of recent events around our country and feedback from our community , the Washington Redskins are announcing the team will undergo a thorough review of our team ’ s name , ” the team announced in a press release .
“ This review formalizes the initial discussions the team has been having with the league in recent weeks , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ believe “ this review will be conducted with the best interest of all in mind.
” Dan Snyder , Owner of the Washington Redskins , stated , “ This process allows the team to take ino account not only the proud tradition and history of the franchise , but also input from our alumni , the organization , sponsors , the National Football League and the local community it is proud to represent on and off the field.
” Ron Rivera , Head Coach of the Washington Redskins remarked , “ This issue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I look forward to working closely with Dan Snyder to make sure we continue the mission of honoring and supporting Native Americans and our Military.
” Ian Rapoport , the sports pundit , wrote on Twitter that his understanding of the Redskins situation “ based on conversations with several sources , ” is that a name change is “ likely , ” adding that this would “ truly be a monumental decision.

Alyssa Milano States Redskins Name ‘Cannot Be Tolerated Any Longer’ After She’s Caught Selling Redskins Merchandise

Actress-turned-radically liberal activist Alyssa Milano has once again exposed herself as a hypocrite after she tweeted that the NFL team Washington Redskins need to be “ cancelled ” until they change their name .
Unfortunately for her , however , it was then discovered that she was selling Redskins merchandise just a few years ago .
“ This cause is close to my heart , ” Milano tweeted along with a link to a petition demanding that the Redskins change the name they have had for nearly 90 years .
The petition claims that Redskins is a “ derogatory name @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , sports broadcasters , and social media outlets to refuse to associate with the team in any way until the name is changed .
Milano then doubled down in a second tweet in which she wrote , “ We must end racism in its entirety .
Allowing the NFL to continue to use the Redskins name is destructive to Native communities and can not be tolerated any longer .
Change the name Redskins.
” This comes just three years after Milano launched “ Touch by Alyssa Milano , ” a collection of sportswear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Charmed ” actress wearing several different Washington Redskins shirts .
The Pacific Standard even published an article begging Milano to stop selling “ racist clothes.
” Milano has responded by claiming that she was trying to get out of her “ Touch ” contract and has tweeted multiple times , begging those with whom she was doing business to change the advertisements .
“ Hey , guys .
Been trying to get this taken care of for years .
NFL/NHL licensing is inclusive of these teams .
PLEASE email at [ email protected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ manufacturing company , ” Milano said in 2017 .
“ My manufacturing company controls the line and what we sell based on licensing from leagues .
There is no reason for me to lie to you .
I ’ m not a hurtful person .

Please use it .
Thank you.

Unreal. Justice Roberts just voted with the four liberals on an abortion case because of stare decisis… The precedent he's upholding is from a case just four years ago, that he dissented on.

The Constitution was written to enshrine the ideals of liberty and justice. Not to provide lawyers a framework within to play with the rights of Americans. IT was intended to be a document that All men could understand. It has become an instrument of control by lawyers and politicians.

It’s time to be tactful. Mutual respect allows for united and loving families. Fallouts come mostly from a failure to communicate. Just as nobody should impose their views of COVID-19 on your relatives, particularly seniors, or make them feel apprehensive about their choices,
Nobody should set conditions upon your presence at a gathering. If you can’t be respectful to seniors, or you don’t feel safe, stay home. A pandemic is what it is today, but it’s fleeting. Much better times are ahead.
Our job, every one of us, is to take care of ourselves and to make it over the bridge to that better place in time together as one family with love and respect.

Tact requires staying mum, more listening than talking—respect other people’s inherent need for periods of introspection uninterrupted by unsolicited advice.
“Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.” ⏤Benjamin Franklin on tact.
IT COMES DOWN TO A PERSONAL DECISION
Each person must evaluate his or her tolerance for risk, discuss it if you are close to one another, and take actions that fit your evaluation of the risk. Arguing about the rules is not productive, and this story (not article) just makes more of it than most folks pay attention to.
I have found no large disagreement between my family members and me about what we should and should not do. We have the same goals. This is a simple personal evaluation, and all of the hype about what to do is just that. I have seen no hurt feelings or arguments. This is making up stories to fill pages.
NOW IS NOT A TIME TO BE ON AN ISLAND
The vulnerable population’s concern is that some people don’t care enough about others to take a straightforward step to protect them, and all the others around those who refuse to wear a mask.

Individuals refusing to wear a mask are not showing their tolerance for risks, just their disdain for the risks they pose to others. Except for N95 masks properly worn, the point of masks is to protect others, not the wearer. An estimated 80% of the infected are asymptomatic while they are spreading the virus.
Show you care about others. Wear a mask.

It’s hard not to imagine Hillary locking down the entire nation if she had the power of the presidency behind her, meaning an economy in utter shambles.

A young college student is no longer enrolled at the Christian school that she attended after she dared to question the Black Lives Matter movement .

” The article continues : “ Activities such as singing and chanting negate the risk reduction achieved through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the state said in its new guidelines .
“ Houses of worship are now being told to have masks available for congregants who don ’ t bring one.
” Recently , Newsom called on Sacramento and 18 other counties to cease all indoor dining and to close movie theaters , card rooms , indoor museums , and other venues .
This was his most dramatic reversal yet on reopening their economy .
These new church guidelines were released the same day , and they took effect in Sacramento on Thursday .
Churches have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ orders from the very beginning of the COVID-19 crisis in mid-March .
Several California churches sued Newsom to overturn the order , saying it violated their First Amendment rights .
None , however , were successful in court .
It remains to be seen if , or how , the state or counties are expected to enforce the ban on singing in houses of worship .

Hey look, you want to stop pandering to all this irrational nonsense and get out of the way, please? There is no legislation you should be passing at the federal level mandating coronavirus guidelines, and I doubt any law you managed to pass would hold up anyway. Yeah, we get it, it’s an election year.
You have to pretend like you’re doing something. Do us all a favor and don’t.

President Trump on Thursday mocked CNN ’ s Chris Cuomo , calling him ‘ Fredo ’ and suggesting he be moved back to a morning slot because of his “ really bad ” ratings .
Earlier in the week , the Hollywood Reporter released rating numbers which show Cuomo coming in third for his time slot behind MSNBC ’ s Rachel Maddow , and Fox News ’ Sean Hannity who led the way .

Cuomo was confronted by a heckler months back who referred to him as such , and the inferior Cuomo brother blew his top .
Earlier in the week , President Trump slammed the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s descent has coincided with an incident in April , when he was caught staging a segment showing him emerging from his basement quarantine for the ‘ first time.

Since then , Cuomo has been caught using Obama-era statistics in an attempt to ‘ prove ’ President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ in America .
And he has held several comedic interviews with his brother while completely ignoring a nursing home scandal in New York state .
Even CNN ’ s viewers have figured out Fredo ’ s shtick .
The New York Post reported previously that Cuomo ’ s ratings have plummeted since he and his brother have been doing their ridiculous interviews and staging coronavirus stories .
“ Americans have spoken with their clickers — and they ’ re sick of Chris and Andrew Cuomo show , ” the Post writes .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ have tanked , plummeting by 50 percent since Chris recovered from COVID.

.@CNN should move Fredo back to the morning slot. He was rewarded for bad ratings with a much better time slot – and again got really bad ratings. Getting totally trounced by @FoxNews. Give him another shot in the morning – He would easily beat Morning Joe’s poorly rated show! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 2, 2020

Earlier in the week, President Trump slammed the CNN anchor yet again.
Can’t believe how badly @CNN has done in the newly released TV ratings. They are so far below @FoxNews (thank you President Trump!) that you can barely find them. Fredo should be given a big pay cut!

thepoliticalinsider--2020-07-03--Pelosi Looking At Second Impeachment Hoax Against President Trump

To make sure Trump doesn ’ t win the presidency again or to make him pay if he does , Nancy Pelosi and DC Democrats are considering at least three new articles of impeachment against the president , media and political sources report .
House Speaker Pelosi is considering a broad front strategy and will possibly make the announcement next month or soon afterward in an attempt to steal thunder from the GOP convention and Trump ’ s fall campaign .
She may consider articles of impeachment , which the House Judiciary Committee will dutifully bring up , on COVID @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrat talking point on Russian bounties on the heads of American troops in Afghanistan .
The charges would break down this way : COVID- The Democrats would charge that the president , out of incompetence and failing to listen to his public health advisors , failed to respond to COVID in time and by such is directly responsible for the deaths of over 100,000 Americans .
Yes , it is absurd and is especially so as Joe Biden called the president ’ s initial travel ban “ xenophobic.
” But this country passed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ago regarding charges against the president .
There are approximately 45 % of the public who will believe anything negative about Trump , no matter how ridiculous .
Democrats can call them out at will to make it seem there is consensus for a new impeachment drive .
Collusion with China on the virus is another facet of this charge : that the president , for personal and national economic gain , ignored the virus to curry favor with the Chinese .
The riots- This article would essentially charge the president with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ racism ” and would thus hold him responsible for the deaths and riots associated with the George Floyd shooting .
This makes no sense and it ’ s not supposed to make sense .
None of it is .
The Democrats know they can never get enough votes out of the Senate to convict even if the Senate flips to them in November .
The goal is to make the president look guilty , or sparing that make voters tire of his controversies , to depress his strength with swing voters .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ black Democrat turnout by luridly replaying scenes of the riots and blaming Trump .
Though as Democrats are at this point held more responsible on the riots than the president , this could backfire on them .
Russian bounties- Democrats will charge , again , that the president is somehow compromised by the Russians and that ’ s why he ignored alleged intelligence reports on a Russian military intelligence unit paying the Taliban to kill American troops in Afghanistan .
Given all intel agencies have publicly disavowed the reports , this would be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , none of these are designed by Democrats to convict Trump in the Senate , only to hurt him , and the nation , between now and election day and even after that if the president wins reelection .

There are approximately 45% of the public who will believe anything negative about Trump, no matter how ridiculous. Democrats can call them out at will to make it seem there is consensus for a new impeachment drive. Collusion with China on the virus is another facet of this charge: that the president, for personal and national economic gain, ignored the virus to curry favor with the Chinese.
The riots- This article would essentially charge the president with the constitutionally vague high crime and misdemeanor of “racism” and would thus hold him responsible for the deaths and riots associated with the George Floyd shooting.
This makes no sense and it’s not supposed to make sense. None of it is. The Democrats know they can never get enough votes out of the Senate to convict even if the Senate flips to them in November. The goal is to make the president look guilty, or sparing that make voters tire of his controversies, to depress his strength with swing voters.
This specific ploy would be to increase black Democrat turnout by luridly replaying scenes of the riots and blaming Trump. Though as Democrats are at this point held more responsible on the riots than the president, this could backfire on them.
Russian bounties- Democrats will charge, again, that the president is somehow compromised by the Russians and that’s why he ignored alleged intelligence reports on a Russian military intelligence unit paying the Taliban to kill American troops in Afghanistan.
Given all intel agencies have publicly disavowed the reports, this would be the hardest case to make. Remember, none of these are designed by Democrats to convict Trump in the Senate, only to hurt him, and the nation, between now and election day and even after that if the president wins reelection.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-07-03--Ricky Gervais Looks Back On His Epic Golden Globes Speech: ‘People Were Tired Of The Hypocrisy’

Who could forget the epic opening monologue comedian Ricky Gervais delivered earlier this year when hosting the Golden Globe Awards in which he ripped liberal Hollywood for its gross hypocrisy ?
“ If you do win an award tonight , don ’ t use it as a political platform to make a political speech , ” Gervais told the crowd that night .
“ You ’ re in no position to lecture the public about anything , you know nothing about the real world .
Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg .
So , if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your little award , thank your agent and your God — and f*** off , okay ?
” Gervais also mocked major corporations like Apple and Amazon for producing supposedly “ woke ” creative content but also still doing business with authoritarian regimes like China .
“ Apple roared into the TV game with ‘ The Morning Show , ’ a superb drama about the importance of dignity and doing the right thing — made by a company that runs sweatshops in China , ” Gervais said .
He continued , “ Well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but the companies you work for in China — unbelievable .
Apple , Amazon , Disney .
If ISIS started a streaming service you ’ d call your agent , wouldn ’ t you ?
” Gervais thinks people were just fed up with liberal Hollywood ’ s hypocrisy Gervais told Yahoo Entertainment recently that the moment became so “ zeitgeisty ” because people were just fed up with the sickening hypocrisy from elites .
“ It was quite zeitgeisty , ” Gervais said .
“ I suppose because people were tired of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recycle when they ’ re flying around in private jets .
So I think people were tired of the hypocrisy.
” Gervais addedd that he did not even necessarily agree with everything he said in his monologue , but wanted to deliver the best jokes he could .
“ I ’ ll often take a complete opposite stance to what I actually believe if it makes the joke better , ” he admitted .
“ I ’ ll pretend to be right-wing , left-wing or no-wing !
It depends on the joke.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ To Resign Over Coronavirus Gervais on Tom Hanks ’ reaction that went viral : “ People love a celebrity going , ‘ You got me ' ” Many will recall the internet going crazy during Gervais ’ s speech over actor Tom Hanks ’ viral reaction to a joke the comedian host made about Felicity Huffman ’ s involvement in the college admission scandal .
Gervais doesn ’ t think Hanks was necessarily upset by anything he said .
“ I don ’ t think he was anti what I was saying , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he sort of thought , ‘ Oh , this is a bit hot .
Is this OK ?
’ But the flip side of it , when I teased Leonardo [ DiCaprio ] , and he really laughed , people loved that !
” “ People love a celebrity going , ‘ You got me.
’ That ’ s all you have to do , ” Gervais said .

“If you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a political platform to make a political speech,” Gervais told the crowd that night. “You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything, you know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg. So, if you win, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent and your God — and f*** off, okay?”
