National Basketball Association players and coaches have hardly been shy about cataloging America’s sins or condemning U.S. President Donald Trump for his failings. When it comes China’s rampant human rights abuses, however, the woke NBA has suffered a collective case of laryngitis.

Lots of National Basketball Association players head to China in the off season. It’s not just for the extra appearance cash; the sneaker companies tell them to just do it, as it were. NBA players sign enormous contracts with the athletic shoe companies, and brand marketing is part of the deal. The NBA, the shoe companies, and China’s state-controlled economy are closely linked.
President Donald Trump has a tendency to throw rhetorical fuel on the fire. When his riffing at a rally, or sending out a tweet storm, he often creates needless feuds. This kind of rhetoric can obscure a substantive message about his administration’s America First accomplishments. In this way, he tends to forget that when your opponents are digging a hole, let them keep digging.
If you’re a regular Shark Tank viewer, you’ve probably seen the Sharks pressure entrepreneurs to move their made-in-the-USA products to China to improve margins. That’s kind of the Wall Street hedge fund, crony capitalist mentality. American industry and the American worker be damned.

Here’s what you missed on Live PD this weekend.
Live PD is the ratings-winning, three-hour law enforcement ride-along show that ordinarily airs fresh episodes on Friday and Saturday evenings (with occasional bonus episodes on other nights) at 9 p.m. Eastern time on the A&E television network. Live PD producers and videographers embed in real time with officers on patrol from eight different U.S. police agencies. Friday night’s episode aired from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern time.
Reunited at last. In a long-awaited/anticipated first media appearance anywhere, Gerry Callahan sat down with former radio partner Kirk Minihane on the irreverent Kirk Minihane Show podcast, a daily offering that is part of the Barstool Sports network.
The Republicans have a lot of explaining to do. Among other issues, the Iraq War was a disaster, they failed to cut the federal budget deficit when they controlled Congress, and former House Speaker Paul Ryan didn’t even lift a finger in 2018 to keep the House in GOP hands. He also played games with funding (or non-funding) the border wall.

Boris Johnson‘s lifelong dream of becoming U.K. prime minister has become something of a nightmare thus far.
He’s lost his “Conservative” majority in parliament, the House of Commons, and the pro-European Union, Remain-dominated chamber seemingly has passed legislation blocking a no-deal Brexit. Plus, the opposition Labor Party under Marxist anti-Semite Jeremy Corbyn has blocked Johnson’s call for a snap national election to break the impasse, reversing their new election advocacy. Making matters worse, the Tony Blair-appointed, globalist Supreme Court ruled that Johnson’s temporary prorogation (suspension) of parliament was illegal.
NFL player (or ex-NFL player) Antonio Brown threw some shade on New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft in a now-deleted tweet when the team released him on September 20 after he appeared in one game. The Oakland Raiders previously cut Brown from the roster earlier this month.
