The ‘Woke’ NBA, China, and Shoes

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.

Trump, Democrats, and Projection

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.
