Kelly's Heroes

Mark Kelly came to Georgia a couple of days ago to endorse Jon Ossoff.

I think it may have been a swap in endorsements? Kelly endorses Ossoff for Senate and Ossoff will endorse Kelly for President?

I must admit, they looked like two strong candidates on stage. I could see Kelly as the President and Ossoff as the VP. That would be a good start to an Administration capable of cleaning up the mess of Trump and the Republicans.

I don't want to start any rumors but it is getting close to time we start thinking about things like that. Kelly would be a strong President. He is afraid of nothing. Ossoff would make a great partner and could establish himself for the day he runs for the office, also.

They could build a strong Cabinet. A strong AG, a strong Secretary of state, and a strong Secretary of Defense would be a good start.

These are two American heroes. They are fighters. And they are competent.

ASYLUM seekers arriving in the UK are being handed booklets warning them that sex with children is illegal, and that men and women are equal under UK law.

The nine-page document, published by the Home Office, tells migrants that they understand “laws and customs here may be different from your home country”.

The aftermath of Sunday’s Atlanta Dream vs Indiana Fever game has been a clinic in institutional weaseling. A Georgia mom and her 17-year-old daughter paid real money for seats two rows from the floor — the tickets were $1000 each! They wore XX-XY Athletics shirts supporting Sophie Cunningham’s statements about protecting women’s sports and spaces. In overtime, WNBA security approached them, declared the shirts “offensive” and offered a choice: put on the provided Dream “Wellness & Health Night” tees or get escorted out. They complied so they wouldn’t miss the last two minutes of the very close game (Indiana pulled it out and won 95-91.)

The WNBA’s statement was a classic non-apology: “The WNBA is aware of interactions at last night’s game in Atlanta in which fans were asked by league security to cover their shirts. This should not have happened.”

No we apologize.

No we told them to do it and we were wrong.

No we are sorry to the paying fans that they were told they couldn’t wear a t-shirt supporting female athletes.

None of that. Just a late admission that their own people overstepped — after the video of Kasey Thomason and her daughter Annie was already circulating.

I would argue that while there may have been specific direction to security to censor pro-woman messaging and for camera guys to skip over any support for XX-XY and save women’s sports messaging . . . it probably wasn’t even required. These institutions are so thoroughly captured that security and camera guys wouldn’t even need explicit orders. They already know which messages are forbidden. Which t-shirt to censor. Which people to skip in the broadcast.

Nothing is free. Someone pays for it, and it is always the rich and the average taxpayers. **** you and your class envy.
