[Hidden Content] Lot of these useful idiots in the US that stand behind the moral equivalency of Palestine and Israel. From the article: "It's very disappointing to see Americans supporting Hamas and thinking that Hamas is a cool thing, while Hamas does not respect any of those followers, while those followers don't know that Hamas would torture them and massacre them with no mercy. They call them useful idiots. They don't know that Hamas is a dark black hole," Yousef said on an April 2 episode of "Dr. Phil Primetime." "[Pro-Palestinians are] absolutely idiots because they don't know what they are supporting. They are supporting a monster that has been hijacking an entire society and endangering the entire Middle East, pushing the world towards a global war. … What's happening is insanity. Those pro-Palestine people need to go to a mental asylum."

🤦‍♂️

Not sure why anyone would try to make that absurd point, I’m willing to bet more folks died on 9-11 than all those other groups have killed.

[Hidden Content] Another great move by liberals, well thought out. From the article: "There's a concerted effort to shift away from reliable sources of electricity generation to unreliable sources," said Daren Bakst, director of the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Center for Energy and Environment. "And ultimately the impact is going to be less reliable electricity, higher prices for Americans — it's going to have a disproportionate impact on the poor." "You have to be able to call upon electricity sources when you need it, and you need it to be able to have consistent electricity, to be able to flip on the switch. You can't have that with intermittent sources. Right now, it's impossible to have that," Bakst continued. "Therefore, you need baseload electricity generation so that you can have consistent electricity when you need it."

Nah, folks are tired of crooked joe and his dimwitted sidekick. Senator Kennedy recently said if they discover life on Mars, biden would want to send them money.

Never said anything about scholarships, but a coach can require the team to be on the floor before the game.

Being present on the floor for team protocol is not the same thing.

But only mandated by the school, wouldn’t you agree?

It's a shame you don't understand that there are sometime consequences to saying something, even though it is guaranteed under you first amendment rights. Most folks learn that at an early age, apparently you didn't.

You don’t even understand what you’re talking about, they absolutely do have the right to do that, but the school has the right to take disciplinary action, it happens with what kids say on social media, they have the right to say it, but the school can punish them for breaking protocol. If I set in a meeting tomorrow with a customer and my boss and rag on our company, I have the first amendment right to say it, but they have the right to fire me for saying it. You’re first amendment right argument that folks are immune to consequences is bogus. I would like to see schools set protocol to stand for the National Anthem, if you don’t, there may be consequences, but it should entirely be up to the school.

So if a player is Muslim, should they be allowed to roll out their mat and worship Allah in the middle of a game? Freedom of religion, right?

We seemed to have moved dangerously away from minimum wage jobs being reserved for part-time workers and students. This experiment is definitely not working.

But I also want it to be the school's choice, certainly wouldn't want government involved in mandating something like this, which is being floated around.

I simply made the point that I think athletes should be present for the National Anthem, not specifically about a particular coach or team. Apparently myself, as well as the governor of LA didn't realize this was so common in college basketball, not for any other reason than final preparation. I still think they should be present, simply out of respect.

Apparently you haven't read my comments on this or you wouldn't make that overdramatic statement, which you often do. You said, and I quote, "But if it’s not one manufactured issue it’s another for many on the right." I get tired of the nonsense that the issues from the right even compare to the nonsense from the left, you even started a thread about it that is SEVEN pages long and I bet there isn't one post on there about nonsense from the right, it's ALL left. Whatever they do is way worse, period.

Such as the "manufactured" issue of trans men dominating women's sports, the right just won't shut up about anything, will they? You're failing to see where the real problems stem from.

Same here, lol.

Like I have said, it seems like a no-brainer, as far as respect goes, but it is what it is and probably won't change, I'm sure being required to be present for the National Anthem will become another "controversial" issue. Like I have also said, I won't lose any sleep over this one, lol.

Not everyone on the right is outraged about this, don't make it more than it is.

I see where some teams are out for the National Anthem, some are regularly not. The last minute preparation isn't a very good excuse, imo, and some teams work around it. I constantly hear about a coach's job is about building character AND talent, seems to me this easy adjustment would be a no-brainer, but I certainly won't lose any sleep either way on this one.

I feel this should be simply protocol, you want to represent the school, be on the floor for the National Anthem. Just like not being able to choose to sit with your buddies in the stands while you're not playing or be on your phone during the game. Not a first amendment thing, should be a standard for any school, jmo.

[Hidden Content] From the article: Another California small business and its workers have seemingly suffered at the hands of the state’s newly enacted $20 minimum wage. "It's a shock," Monica Navarro, former assistant general manager at Foster’s Freeze in Lemoore, said on "The Bottom Line" Wednesday. "It would have been nice to have a notice so we could go get some applications [out], I could prepare them," she continued. "The best I can do is honestly give them some references." When making their way to work Monday morning, Navarro and her team learned upon arrival that the restaurant owner had made the decision to close its doors for good. The owner, Loren Wright, told local Fox affiliate KMPH that this was the "last thing" they wanted to do, but knew by Friday night the business likely wouldn’t be able to absorb the wage hike and didn’t "want to ruin their Easter Sunday."

I’m not singling out a particular team in my comments, I just think it’s not too much to ask for all teams to be on the floor for the National Anthem. I agree, lots of teams do this with no ill intent, LSU just seemed to be the ones to bring national attention to it.

Would be nice if all judges on every level held the Constitution in such high esteem.

Stand for the National Anthem in all sports, it's not that difficult.
