She gonna be the Rosa Parks of America-hating millionaires?-----Brittney Griner deserves more than American support. She deserves American cash.

Brittney Griner deserves more than American support. She deserves American cash.
"...she plays for the Russian league UMMC Ekaterinburg in the WNBA offseason.
  • Like most professional women’s players, who make a microcosmic fraction of what the men make in the NBA, this kind of international play is essential for supplementing their income.
  • While Griner’s detention has received a measure of media attention, the fact that she was in Russia in the first place demands its own examination.
Sue Hovey, former ESPN executive editor and co-author of Brittney Griner’s 2015 memoir “In My Skin: My Life On and Off the Basketball Court” sent me this note via email:
“Brittney’s detainment in Russia also once again shines the spotlight on an unfortunate truth: that the vast majority of WNBA players earn their living overseas. A lot of casual sports fans still don’t know this, which kind of blows my mind. But that just shows you how much more work needs to be done when it comes to raising awareness around equity issues in women’s sports.”...

Flint residents searching for water crisis accountability after Snyder’s criminal charges dismissed
FLINT, MI -- Flint residents who have crusaded for accountability in the Flint water crisis for years say they’ve been dealt another blow by the dismissal of criminal charges against former Gov. Rick Snyder.

Yup, that's how it "works".

Why is it us always bailing those fools out?-----America’s Allies Should Fear Abandonment

America’s Allies Should Fear Abandonment - Doug Bandow 
"For the past 77 years, the US has defended the so-called free world...
  • Even today, Washington does more than Europe to defend Europe. None of the continent’s traditionally great powers, Britain, France, and Germany, fields even 300 tanks
  • The US deploys more ships to the Pacific than Japan possesses to defend itself. 
  • Despite having 50 times the economic strength and twice the population of the North, South Korea’s army is smaller and possesses fewer tanks. 
The problem only seems to get worse. 
  • Washington now is spending far more than its European partners collectively to subsidize Ukraine’s defense, even though Kyiv’s future matters far more to them. Moreover, early European promises to do much more militarily were forgotten once the US stepped in so heavily...

The coming crash of the Climate Cult - American Thinker - By Viv Forbes

MacIntyre: The Twitter Files reveal the left will win at any cost - TheBlaze: Progressive institutions do not care about democracy or the duty of the press, and they enthusiastically support the manipulation and censorship of social media to generate their preferred outcome. Victories for the right will not come from sweeping revelations that hold the powerful to account, but by doing what Elon Musk has done: Capturing powerful institutions of the progressive machine, exposing their corruption, and stripping out the bureaucracy that has been allowed to transform these organizations into arms of the Democratic Party.
