Earlier this week, National Basketball Association superstar LeBron James announced that he would have no further comment on the NBA-China controversy, which was prompted by a now-deleted, pro-Hong Kong democracy tweet from Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey. This was a probably a good idea, because James’ initial response clanged off the backboard, or whatever roundball cliche applies.

As a business mogul, U.S. President Donald Trump sued people and got sued. He often won either in court or via out-of-court settlements (the latter process which resolves most lawsuits). In the aftermath of a series of undercover videos released by muckraker James O’Keefe and the Project Veritas crew, the Trump campaign says it intends to sue CNN, whose motto probably should be revised to “the most dis-trusted name in news.”
Season 4, Week 3, of the A&E Hit
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.
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.

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.
Vote Democrat in 2020
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.
