Chris Long came into the league with the Rams. Kyle Long is the one who plays for the Bears, and is also Howie’s son.

The Chris Paul trade veto was possible because the NBA owned the Hornets at the time, and thus had an excuse to exercise that power. Such a situation didn’t exist for Durant to Golden State. Honestly max salaries for individual players should be abolished, as that would force teams to choose whether or not they want to use half or more of their cap space on Lebron or spend that to get 2-3 lesser stars. Right now building a superteam just means collecting 3 superstars and a good role player or two, and mostly nullifies the effects of smart drafting/FA signing.

Technically NBA rules give you 2 steps + one to gather, so most of those are actually legal. Occasionally they let things slide, but mostly NBA travel rules are just more liberal than a lot of people think.

Not a good idea. More and more cities are using facial recognition technology to identify and monitor dissidents, and it’s going to be used against us as much if not more than them.

The Somali immigrant of course, as we are a Nation of Immigrants. It’s best not to inquire as to how she wound up with no clitoris, though.

and the media is dishonest

Well if you’re reading WaPo regularly, you should’ve come across too many examples of this to count.

Ironically the left mostly wants to purge them from pop culture nowadays, with all those evil and degrading sports mascots. Native Americans are only allowed to exist in the public eye nowadays as props for radical environmentalists and white guilt racketeers.

They’re comparing the story of a mobile runner to 2 hour movies. Nintendo keeps the story the same because nobody plays a mainline Mario game for the story. Of course the left hates “classics” because anything that’s gone unchanged for decades provides a cultural marker to highlight how much they’ve been able to push on us, and certain things like the Charlie Brown Christmas Special provide cultural messages which would be verboten if made today. Hollywood remake culture is not merely an opportunity for cheap cash grabs, but an opportunity to “update” loved movies to their PC zeitgeist.

Cornerback is a position which heavily selects for top-end speed, because without it you can’t guard faster wide receivers, whereas Belichick wide receivers can compensate for not having top-end speed by being great route-runners, and Brady is perhaps the best NFL QB in history in terms of accuracy and timing.

Indeed. These quotes are even further to the right than those of notorious white supremacists like Ben Garrison, Steven Crowder, and Sam Hyde.

Fair enough. Not saying he’s the best on the planet, just that all the other rumored picks are generally bad ones like Newt, Giuliani, Bolton. Policy is most important, and it’s not as if the other guys are exactly squeaky clean.

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/rep.-rohrabacher-afghan-expert-knows-putin-emerges-as-state-pick/article/2607504 This guy is easily the best option of all that have been rumored.

Only problem is that Unz Review breaks way bigger taboos than Breitbart, and some of the stuff published here is likely a bridge too far even for many Trump supporters. I’d love for it to happen, but I can’t see Trump going quite that far.

Spencer might well be smug, and I can’t say that I’m his biggest fan, but he didn’t actually do anything on Twitter to warrant the ban except hold verboten political views. Yet Twitter’s let “Rape Melania” trend and accounts that have tweeted death threats at Trump are still up. They’re not just banning people for being nasty, they’re banning them for being heretics.

Since the media was taken over by rioting marxist crybabies and their enablers.

Agree with that statement. If Trump doesn’t want to make him Secretary of Defense, he could also put him in charge of the VA. Either way he’s a Dem who Trump could work with as a gesture of unity.

OH MY GOD STEVE YOU JINXED IT!!!

You’d have thought they were busying themselves with playing Scrabble and beating non-minority opponent after non-minority opponent.

Taylor Swift is following sound marketing advice by staying neutral. Picking sides either means alienating her right-leaning country fans or her left-leaning pop fans. She has nothing to gain by picking sides and a lot to lose.

Gab is really nice because 300 characters is so much more forgiving than 140. It is still in beta though, a lot of functionality is still a work in progress, and its userbase is still basically limited to Trump supporters and discussion is basically only political. I really hate Twitter’s character restrictions and would love to see Gab gain traction as more than a political forum, even if it still winds up leaning right.

Hillary won’t face any sort of criminal charges/impeachment unless the GOP has the requisite votes for impeachment in Congress, which ain’t happening with our current demographics. Hillary has the DNC and the Justice Department in the palm of her hand. The O’Keefe vids are smoking gun evidence, and she’s pretty blatantly guilty in the email case. She can, has, and will get away with murder. The rule of law is dead and buried.

Trump is the wrong kind of womanizer, one with exacting standards for physical appearance, and a ruthless body-shamer. Bill on the other hand has a non-discriminatory and inclusive attitude, and builds up self-esteem by making any fat chick under the sun feel deserving of a Presidential schlonging.

Starting pitchers are pitching fewer innings because the overall talent level in MLB is rising, and it’s easier to get bullpen arms who can throw 95+ MPH. No need to leave someone with a pitch count of 120 in when you’ve got 2-3 guys behind him who can throw 95 for one inning.

Eric Margolis is in the same basket as Fred Reed, a once useful commentator who is no longer relevant and no longer really provides interesting or insightful commentary. It’s one thing to be sympathetic to Muslims, but it’s quite another to pretend this refugee program has been anything but a disaster.

Well thankfully she’s already own-goaled the 2008 Dem nomination, almost own-goaled it in 2016, and would probably have own-goaled the general by now if not for Trump’s unforced errors, so it’s not out of the question, especially if the economy is doing worse. If anyone can screw this up, it’s Hillary.

Trump should’ve researched more and hit her harder here. Even with all his babbling he’s still the only one with a remotely coherent and workable position in the debate, and the media are all pretty clueless about the conflict as well.

That was the best part. We need public officials to be regularly impeached, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes. Imprisoning Hillary would be a good start. Heaven forbid the laws of the country actually apply to the powerful.

The recent leaks would seem to indicate they do in fact know better, but either don’t care or don’t want to admit it, at least for some of them.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I wouldn’t mind if you spent most of your life writing stuff on the internet, on the grounds that you’re one of few people actually good at it. I apologize if I’m just wishing out loud for something you have no interest in.

Realistically, I think the NYT incident is a signal that any attempt to side with the left probably won’t work, especially because a Hillary victory would likely mean an attempt to crack down on “hate speech” and “harassment” online, and your past heresies are too great. Your best bet is to try to catch on as “articulate token brown guy” at one of the bigger conservative websites like Breitbart, kind of like how Milo is a token gay guy. Since Hillary has seen fit to explicitly target the alt right, in spite of the relative obscurity of even its bigger names, trying to fly under the radar as a thought criminal is becoming more difficult and dangerous. The Trump campaign has done a lot to destroy the media’s credibility in the eyes of the public, putting us in a situation in which a lot of powerful and nasty people feel their power threatened while still retaining the resources to persecute those they dislike. I wish you well in your quest to find strong allies, because I really respect what you do.

I believe H.L. Mencken once said that men and women agreed on one thing – they both distrust women.

Frankly anyone who doesn’t believe that intelligence and success are significantly affected by genes is a flat-earther who needs to do some reading on the subject before mindlessly emoting about which ideas feel wrong to them. The scientific facts involved don’t necessarily carry any sort of ethical mandate, but they do clarify the choices and tradeoffs to be made. Besides, pretty much everyone in the First World is on board with eugenics when it comes to procreating with your siblings/cousins, and there are a lot of intermediate steps between that and gassing the mentally handicapped.

She did it in 1998, and she entered the competition in 1996, so it doesn’t make him look bad at all. He should transition this into an attack on our immigration system, and demand that we only let in people with clean backgrounds.

Know your meme is really gonna see a spike in traffic if journalists keep trying to decipher every single meme alt-righters spam at them on Twitter. http://forward.com/opinion/national/342905/decoding-an-anti-semitic-meme-donald-trump-supporters-took-from-anime/
It’s only a matter of time before we get a 60 Minutes report on the Cult of Kek.

This is fundamental HBD stuff. Read any of Jayman’s stuff on this very site. There’s no evidence that parenting makes any lasting difference in terms of life outcomes as long as the kids stay alive and intact.

Parenting’s long-term impact on how children turn out is pretty negligible. Gotta read “The Blank Slate.” Differences in how people turn out as adults are largely genetic.

If you accept the premise that the alt-right as a political tendency begins and ends with white nationalism.

Pepe was also the most popular meme on Tumblr(not exactly a right wing site) as recently as 2015. Also treating him as a white nationalist symbol assumes that all the Trump people using said meme are actually white nationalists, which isn’t true. Most Pepe images even on the alt right aren’t more inflammatory than Trump himself(shown next to a border fence, with Trump hair, etc.) and of course the media cherrypicks the one with the oven to show off as proof of Pepe’s evil. If Pepe is a white nationalist symbol simply because alt-righters on Twitter like him, then you’d also have to treat Taylor Swift, Harambe, and anime schoolgirls as white nationalist symbols. Declaring Pepe as exclusively a white nationalist symbol is classic leftist goalpost shifting to declare anything they don’t like as “offensive” and therefore unacceptable.

ESPN is taking Jones’s original assertion about the lack of protests as having to do with the fact that baseball is a lot whiter than the NFL/NBA ,(which is true) and running with it into the ridiculous territory of conspiracy to oppress African-Americans in baseball when they’re only somewhat underrepresented there and grossly overrepresented elsewhere. I understand a lot of why Kaepernick and Jones are upset, as blacks don’t really have effective political representation since the Dems take them for granted and the GOP doesn’t really reach out except in the most superficial of ways to reassure their white base that they aren’t racist. Note that the modern globalist regime doesn’t really help them much either, outside of a few welfare/affirmative action scraps. The problem is that these things are invariably filtered into the standard identity politics and inconvenient aspects of such statements(like Kaepernick calling out “superpredator” Hillary’s hypocrisy) are dutifully censored.

But do the Looney Tunes have a future in PC America? Pepe le Pew and Speedy Gonzalez are hurtful stereotypes, Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam aren’t allowed to have guns anymore, and any sort of slapstick involving explosives is strictly verboten because it promotes terrorism.

I wouldn’t personally disqualify Jews from being alt-right, but being strongly Zionist as opposed to being focused solely on national interests in terms of foreign policy seems pretty at odds with the alt-right’s core outlook, and Breitbart is certainly in line with standard GOP Zionism.

Breitbart isn’t even really an alt-right site per se, but is really more representative of the populist wing of mainstream conservatism. Alt-right ideas might have filtered down into it, and Milo might have drawn attention to the alt-right, but it’s not really too different from mainstream conservatism except in tone and focus. Of course Hillary will denounce Breitbart as a white nationalist outlet, because she doesn’t know or care about the nuances and divisions within the right, and it’s just easier to smear your opponents anyways.

One of Trump’s biggest problems as a candidate is that he’s pretty old. He was much sharper earlier on in the campaign in terms of picking his fights and dealing with the media, and was often able to work the 24 hour news cycle to his advantage with strategically timed endorsements and the like, but has stumbled more recently into no-win fights that have not been defused. Unlike Hillary, he has little friendly media and no handlers to shelter him from his missteps, and hasn’t really had the stamina to maintain his war with the media. Hillary can’t really campaign that well either but hasn’t had to.

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/bs-md-co-police-barricade-20160801-story.html Somehow the BLM people on Twitter are interpreting a black woman getting shot after pointing a shotgun at police and threatening to kill them as a racist assault done for no reason.

http://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2016/07/22/hunt-underway-for-one-or-more-shooters-on-the-run-lead-ripley-live.cnn CNN says Muslims. And on the same day Wikileaks reveals DNC emails conspiring against Bernie. Looks like a double dose of Trump’s Luck.

Lebron’s not a tactical player? At this stage in his career his game is largely focused around driving to the basket and either getting a dunk/layup or kicking it out for a 3 pointer. Such an approach is based around the fact that those are the two most efficient shots in basketball, and he’s been a large part of driving the NBA towards that and away from chucking inefficient long 2’s like Kobe, Melo, etc. He also doesn’t strike me as particularly stupid, as he’s been able to manage his money well and has had enough impulse control to stay out of trouble. Granted I don’t necessarily think he’s a super-genius, but he’s most certainly not an example of an athlete who’s too stupid to adhere to basic game tactics.

I know someone who had friends who died in that event. It’s absolutely insane to claim that no one really died in that event, or that it was all staged. That being said, there are a lot of fishy things going on, like the guy being able to pass a background check after being under investigation by the FBI. The phone calls also seem fishy, and there are a few other things worth investigating. But please, the idea that this was staged and that nobody actually died is complete garbage and discredits anyone who spouts it and detracts from legitimate lines of questioning the official narrative.

The legalization of zone defense has significantly weakened post play for sure. Someone like LeBron who has both the physical strength to win 1v1 and the passing skill to exploit zones/double teams can still be effective, but a big man who’s a mediocre passer isn’t going to be able to dominate nowadays even though the league’s gotten smaller. Also a big man who can’t stay in front of a guard on a pick-and-roll is a defensive liability against modern offenses, even if he’s strong offensively. An athletic 6’9″-6’10” big who can both move defensively and shoot is generally more valuable than a slow-footed 7-footer who needs to be near the rim, though such players are still around and can be useful, but they’re far less prominent.

Honestly nukes, rather than any sort of international peacekeeping entity, have been responsible for the absence of warfare among 1st-world countries post WW2. Note how ineffective the UN has been at preventing warfare against nations lacking such a deterrent. It’s silly to pretend the collapse of the UN would lead to warfare between nations that either are or could easily become nuclear powers.

Against my better judgment, I’m going to point out to you that the hard left does this kind of thing whenever a right-of-center speaker comes to campus. When you define “fascist” and “Hitler” so broadly as to include anyone who challenges your beliefs prior to concluding that it’s OK to use whatever means necessary to prevent the spread of fascism, you are creating an intellectual justification for totalitarianism. There is no reason to believe Trump will be significantly more authoritarian than his 2 predecessors, as his deportation proposal would merely enforce already existing law, and his Muslim ban is already sort of in place as far as immigrants from terror hotspots are concerned. Besides, from a pragmatic point of view these riots only drive neutrals into Trump’s camp and help him get elected. The fascists of the 1920s and 30s only ever gained power because those countries felt threatened by Communist takeovers, and the fascists successfully presented themselves as the only alternative who could stop them.

One concern you could reasonably have were the situation legislated would be perverts abusing the situation and then suing stores for discrimination if they tried to do anything about it. If the situation were left to the store’s discretion I think in most situations the prevailing attitude would be “no harm, no foul.” There might be some people who would target them, but most of the time I don’t think there would be an issue, and they could simply refuse to go to stores that mistreat them. Unfortunately the left seems to think that discrimination always and everywhere can only be dealt with via legislation.

Anyone who’d go back in time and vote Dubya, even after knowing what he’d do once in office and how it would turn out, but draws the line at voting for Trump, frankly needs to rethink where his line ought to be drawn. Trump being a disappointment would be entirely unsurprising, but I have a hard time seeing how he could screw up the country worse than Bush the Dimmer.

NATO is about as relevant to American national security interests as the Warsaw Pact is to Russia’s. In the absence of the Soviet Union it’s basically just corporate welfare for US defense manufacturers, as there are clauses stipulating that members buy arms from them. There’s nothing resembling an overriding threat justifying the US having to protect these countries. Reasonable alliances for dealing with modern threats could be justified, but NATO would have to be entirely reworked for that to happen.

Her “judgment” consists of pushing Obama to aid the al-Nusra Front and the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group in order to overthrow secular dictators. What you’re talking about isn’t judgment, it’s faithfully reading the script her donors and consultants have written for her. Left to her own devices her judgment is atrocious.

It’s like Cruz vs. Rubio. Bernie’s better at hiding it.

This site is still pretty small, but Breitbart is growing, and the Fox News audience is dying out. Audiences shifting online don’t necessarily mean the end of MSM, of course, but right now it means that they can’t control the narrative online quite as well. The power of politically connected tech behemoths like Google and Facebook who are not above censorship is troubling, however, and alternative views on the net might not last, or might be effectively marginalized, but network TV is irrelevant to younger generations, even if most of them go to left-wing sites that aren’t really outside of the mainstream. Right now we’re at a point where the old guard media titans are dying, but the new ones haven’t quite established sufficient dominance to be able to suppress narratives they don’t like, so there currently is a window in which we can act to change things, but it probably won’t last forever.

Who else is there? All other candidates are OK with BLM thugs shutting down rallies of people they don’t like, and whatever you might think of his rhetoric, he kept his cool pretty well in the midst of that fiasco. The events of this past weekend basically solidified in my mind that Trump is our only choice if we don’t want to be overrun by the hard left.

Voting for someone more reasonable? All the other candidates have made themselves look less reasonable than Trump by claiming that Trump deserved to have his event shut down by BLM thugs. Trump has many flaws, but at least he’ll stand up for law and order on the most basic level, while his “reasonable” rivals are willing to side with these goons in order to signal their virtue.

Considering that the Republican Party seems to seriously be willing to blatantly override the wishes of their constituents by robbing Trump at the convention, they do actually seem to be too dumb to live, doubly so if they nominate an obvious cuck. Cruz at least is getting decent support at the polls, but I doubt they’d give the nomination to him in a brokered convention, so rejecting the only two candidates with real followings would be horribly moronic and threaten their legitimacy permanently.

Overall Trump’s been doing roughly as expected, at worst only slightly underperforming. The best news for him is that while the race is clearly Trump vs. anti-Trump, all of the anti-Trumps are doing well in some places and poorly in others. Kasich is only relevant in New England, but all other anti-Trumps are flopping. Cruz won Texas and Oklahoma but is a nonentity in Virginia, and Rubio looks like he could fall short of 20% and get shut out in some places. This outcome will likely not be good enough for Trump to wrap things up, but it’s still good enough to show that no other candidate can outright beat him, and that could be enough for party regulars who may not like Trump but want to avoid a brokered convention to get on board.

Well it’s about time we turn our back on Frum and the rest of his “Unpatriotic Conservatives.” Thanks to them we’re bankrupt and the Middle East is burning. And he wonders why his ilk is so hated.

Don’t be fooled by Kasich’s nice guy act. The man’s “private sector” experience was a do-nothing job at Lehman Brothers in return for his shilling for the financial sector, as well as serving as a Fox News talking head. He’s neck-deep in the crony corporatist revolving door of American politics. He, like Jeb, embodies everything wrong with American politics, but is treated as if he’s a wonderful person by the media.

For all the rhetoric surrounding Trump University, apparently most of the students rated it very highly and did not consider it a scam university. http://www.98percentapproval.com/
Besides, there’s no way it could be any worse than a Sociology or Gender Studies degree.

The Low-Energy Party.

WSJ also had a national poll earlier in the week showing Cruz ahead nationally, while all the other polls coming out at the same time had Trump at +15-20%. Either they’re brilliant and catching something no one else has or the central media outlet of corporate conservatism is rigging polls to push a narrative.

Well voting for Hillary won’t get rid of racism or sexism either, and in fact will only increase the latter, so by her argument we shouldn’t vote for her.
