I hadn't heard of Tomi Lahren before, but she hits home with this 4 minute video. The root of my displeasure with the current group dominating the conversation today is best described by the term "cancel culture". I can't think of many other things that fire me up more than that crowd. They f'n make me sick. m.facebook.com/watch/?v=754264051780740&_rdr |

She's not pro-life, but other than that huge flaw, she's great. |

"Cancel culture" is just a modern day euphemism for censorship. Throughout history, book burners and censors have likely professed that free speech in theory is fine but that it's for the good of society that this-particular-speech-that-I-really-don't-like must be suppressed.................Luca

It would be one thing if it were just censorship. But the way these piranha go after anyone they want to "cancel" is really something else. They get people fired or do serious damage to businesses and people's lives without any humanity whatsoever.

They're still after Tucker Carlson at Fox big time. Those who claim they're into freedom of expression, are threatening those who advertise on his show and are winning the battle. Spineless companies like Disney, T-Mobile, and Pappa John's are the latest.

21st Century version of a lynch mob. Not surprising for the side that founded the KKK, only now instead of white hoods, they wear black masks.

...and just when we think we've heard it all, the cancel culture coming to a college football stadium near you...
I thought he was joking BTW.

Maybe this critic should be more upset that the OSU defense gives up about 40+ points a game.

Another reason is that "COPS" shows how demanding, dangerous, and unpredictable police work is; you see that any traffic stop or domestic call can go sideways in an instant.

Well, I had to look up who Chuba Hubbard and Mike Gundy are and what OAN is. But now that I know I am of course similarly enraged..................................Luca
Although if I had a name like Chuba Hubbard I don't think I'd feel in a position to criticize anyone

But now that I know I am of course similarly enraged..................................Luca Although if I had a name like Chuba Hubbard I don't think I'd feel in a position to criticize anyone Apparently "Chuba" is Chase Hubbard, star RB for OSU. It only took a few hours and Coach Mike Gundy has already capitulated to this overgrown adolescent hissy fit. Gundy, who once famously defended criticism of one of his players by declaring "Criticize me. I'm a man," has lost his balls. Should've told that kid to take a hike, and good luck in your future endeavors. At this rate I expect Bruce Rollinson to be sporting a BLM arm band as he leads the Monarchs in kneeling for the national anthem at the first home game this season. |
