Speaker Nancy Pelosi has warned American Olympic athletes not to do or say anything that may enrage their “ruthless” Communist China hosts.

While obviously, a good suggestion, protesting thus “incurring the anger” of a government she leads is punishable, albeit not to the same level of the ChiComms… yet.

In the United States, it all depends on who is doing the protesting.

Nancy Pelosi had no problem with protests against an opposition president, with even one protester talking about blowing up the White House. Nancy Pelosi and Democrats had no problem with Black Lives Matter and Antifa protesters who illegally blocked traffic on public streets and highways, verbally and physically assaulted motorists, vandalized public and private property, verbally and physically assaulted law enforcement, burned police stations, and injured and killed Americans on the street. Most of them were not detained and incarcerated, and many have had their release assisted by nonprofits and even elected politicians. Nancy Pelosi has no problem while taxpayer-funded intelligence agencies violate the law and monitor the activities of Americans without cause or warrant every day.

Conversely, Nancy Pelosi has no problem with those who were caught up in the January 6 mayhem and have been jailed since in Third World (Washington, D.C.) conditions, despite not being formally charged with a crime. Conversely, Nancy Pelosi has no problem with parents being surveilled and arrested for protesting local school boards run by liberal Democrats. Conversely, Nancy Pelosi has no problem with state prosecutors persecuting a former President of the United States, whose free speech was repeatedly violated by Big Tech platforms.

Nancy Pelosi can spare us the righteous indignation of warning against Americans exercising free speech in a nation that doesn’t recognize it.

Thanks to people like her, it’s only a little better here.

BTW — If an Olympic athlete does cross the line, there’s no President Trump who’ll personally secure their prompt release. He or she will be at the mercy of Joe Biden who doesn’t leave Americans behind, right?

On one hand, the left demands divestment on any entity that has interests in traditional apartheid governments while others get a pass. Sports is a prime example.

How do professional sports teams get the money to pay their athletes outrageous contracts? The main source is multi-billion dollar broadcast deals where television networks pay for the rights to air each team’s games. The United States is a big market but pales compared to what a country with a population like China lures, so care is taken not to offend a partner of that size.

NBA China and BesTV, a member of the Shanghai Oriental Pearl Group, announced on Sunday that they are expanding their partnership to deliver extensive NBA games and programming to fans in China. The NBA’s partnership with the Shanghai Media Group (SMG), the parent company of the Shanghai Oriental Pearl Group, dates back to the 1996-97 NBA season.

As the Official Multimedia Partner of the NBA in China, BesTV and SMG’s extensive media platforms will offer nearly 1,300 NBA games to viewers each year.

Geopolitics can make business relationships contentious and one example is the documented slave labor in China, specifically of the Uyghurs, who are forced to produce goods for Abercrombie & Fitch, Amazon, GAP, H&M, Jack & Jones, Sharp, Siemens, Skechers, ASUS, Apple, Samsung, Huawei, BMW, Volkswagen, Sony, Polo Ralph Lauren, Puma, Victoria’s Secret, Vivo, Fila, Adidas, Puma, Huawei, Lenovo, and Nike (specifically) NBA merchandise that personally and financially benefits players. Many high-profile players like Los Angeles Lakers LeBron James will interject himself into American politics on race issues while defending human rights abusers as to not negatively affect his wallet.

Yes, we all do have freedom of speech. But at times, there are ramifications for the negative that can happen when you’re not thinking about others and you’re only thinking about yourself. So many people could have been harmed — not only financially, but physically, emotionally, spiritually. Just be careful about what we tweet, what we say and what we do. Yes, we do have freedom of speech, but there can be a lot of negative that comes with that, too.

Other liberals benefiting from financial arrangements with the Chinese communists have chosen to look the other way in silence. One decided to speak out and it didn’t go well. During a recent “All-in-Podcast episode, billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya spoke with fellow liberals and it didn’t go well. Most networks reporting on his honest assessment of the Uyghur plight only played a short clip of his offending comments.

It was a striking comment for someone who excoriated his fellow venture capitalists back in 2017 for being a bunch of “well-intentioned, soulless cowards.” Palihapitiya soon after released statements calling for “nuanced discussion” and saying that the clip was taken “out of context.”
— New York Magazine, 1/18/22

Here’s the full segment, in context….

While it’s commendable that Palihapitiya believes we should take care of Americans before we save the world, he conveniently failed to mention that almost everything the Democrat left has done to “help” blacks, in particular, has only made things much worse.

Needless to say, the blowback from his comments were swift.

In a statement released Monday, the Golden State Warriors said, “Mr. Palihapitiya does not speak on behalf of our franchise, and his views certainly don’t reflect those of our organization.” Mr. Palihapitiya is a limited investor who has no day-to-day operating functions with the team, it added.

His comments on the podcast drew condemnation on Twitter.

Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter Freedom wrote, “When @NBA says we stand for justice, don’t forget there are those who sell their soul for money & business like @chamath the owner of @warriors.”

 Mr. Palihapitiya is no minor player with a loose cannon of a mouth.

A Sri Lankan immigrant to Canada whose family got by on welfare payments when he was a child, Mr. Palihapitiya graduated from the University of Waterloo and worked at Bank of Montreal before moving to the U.S. during the dot-com era. He joined Facebook in 2007 to help grow its user base after stints at a venture-capital firm and America Online. He left Facebook in 2011 after he said Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg denied his request to start a cellphone business, and later emerged as a critic of his former employer.

Virgin Galactic distanced itself Tuesday from Chamath Palihapitiya, the chairman of its board of directors, after he declared on a podcast that “nobody cares” about China’s human rights abuses toward Uyghurs.
— New York Post, 1/18/22

The western world has been very kind and generous to Chamath Palihapitiya and his family. He’s been able to achieve and live a very comfortable life, thanks to nations that cared enough about the plight of those in shithole countries to allow his family to flee genuine poverty.

His callous indifference to those less blessed is so… progressive.

As the left’s #CancelCulture ramped up in intensity, the House of Representatives had to prove themselves relevant.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday ordered the removal of four portraits in the Capitol of previous House Speakers who served in the Confederacy. The move marks Pelosi’s latest effort to take down Confederate imagery in the Capitol, following her push last week calling for the removal of 11 Confederate statues displayed in the Capitol complex.

In a letter to the House clerk, Pelosi requested the “immediate removal” of the portraits of four Speakers who served the Confederacy in various capacities: Robert Hunter of Virginia, Howell Cobb of Georgia, James Orr of South Carolina and Charles Crisp of Georgia.
— The Hill, 6/18/20

It was obviously an innocent oversight that Speaker Pelosi didn’t mention that Hunter, Cobb, Orr and Crisp were all Democrats.

In an effort to infuse some consistency, Rep. Louie Gohmert, Republican from Texas, decided to issue a resolution of his own….

Of course, this will invoke the oft-repeated hysterical recitation that one bright, sunny day, the Republican and Democrat parties just up and “switched” positions.

“A great portion of the history of the Democratic Party is filled with racism and hatred. Since people are demanding we rid ourselves of the entities, symbols, and reminders of the repugnant aspects of our past, then the time has come for Democrats to acknowledge their party’s loathsome and bigoted past, and consider changing their party name to something that isn’t so blatantly and offensively tied to slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination, and the Ku Klux Klan,” Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said in a statement.

The resolution is co-sponsored by GOP Reps. Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Jody Hice (Ga.), Randy Weber (Texas) and Andy Harris (Md.). It comes after the House on Wednesday voted to remove from the Capitol statues of people who served in the Confederacy or defended slavery.

Yeah, right.

For more information on the untaught history, see The Democrat Race Lie.

With that, why do blacks HAVE to be Democrat?

Of course we know that almost all information regarding the political history and present is controlled by liberals in education, the media, and entertainment. That makes it very easy for the left to disseminate any narrative necessary to keep a segment of a population in their control. Any information coming from a teacher (as they’re assumed to be an accredited source of truthful knowledge), news and/or entertainment personality is automatically deemed accurate thus they have the ability to shape opinion that sticks.

But what if that information is a lie? What if those disseminating that opinion is doing intentionally or out of ignorance, and those who receive that information are just regarded as lowly pawns, easily sacrificed for a greater goal?

Going back to Baltimore (which is emblematic of most inner cities), one party has controlled almost every political entity within. Nothing has improved in these cities, in fact, almost every social and economic category has gotten worse, yet that party receives the super-majority of the vote every time with literally nothing to show for it, and it was publicly recognized years ago.

I’ve often used this very simple analogy.

If someone had to repeatedly return a car to a shop for a specific repair and that repair repeatedly wasn’t done, that person would quickly find another shop to take that car (unless they’re stupid). With that, there is no justifiable reason for any black person to vote for a Democrat until they repair the black community (improve educational and economic opportunity) as is done for any other.

So, why do blacks continue to give that knee-jerk vote for Democrats? Because the left knows how to trigger negative emotion from certain constituencies for their political benefit.

If it’s a woman, Democrats latch onto a timely issue to exploit such as domestic violence, “campus rape culture”, wage inequality, etc. If it’s a black person, they scream “racism” and draw that predictable, visceral, negative response that they hope will shut down rational thought in favor of emotion.

Democrats knowingly count on the ignorance of black people; ignorance they perpetuate and exploit. We hope you can imagine the disgust experienced as The Democrat Race Lie was researched and compiled. As discovered and verified with each new tidbit, it was realized that almost everything we’ve grown up believing about the history of the United States was indeed a lie. A lie that’s repeated to this day by elected Democrats, their media, black so-called civil rights “leaders”, liberal controlled education system and simply because they can.

The recent Confederate Flag controversy, because of it’s convenient presence in the tragic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church shootings in Charleston, South Carolina, has opened a brief exposure into the truth that is the history of “The White Man’s Party”; a history being willfully ignored by black media pundits who’ve sold out their consumers as to maintain their opulent lifestyle.

Until black people wake up, understand they’ve been used and abused for decades and take their car to another shop, things will NEVER improve in the black community and that’s just what Democrats count on. I’m not saying the Republican Party is the greatest of alternatives, but when enough people stop going to a bad repair shop, it has one of two courses of action: improve service and credibility or go out of business.

The bottom line is the Democrat Party was formed to enable the use of people. At that time it was solely for their personal wealth. If you look at the party today, those in power earn a very good living while the intentionally growing number at the bottom live on the scraps left over to keep them alive and constantly dependent.

If families will ostracize a black person who wishes to exercise their Constitutional 1st Amendment “freedom of assembly” and association right, it again comes down to what Democrats depend on: instilling fear in any black who wishes to leave the plantation. Another thing to think about: the Democrat Party believes they own the black vote.

They instilled and enforced that fear centuries ago (Ku Klux Klan) and they proudly continue their proud tradition to this day. When the truth is finally understood by black people, the revolt against the Democrat Party will be severe because that strategy has cost millions of American blacks a positive standard of life, mass targeted abortions, thus many lives as well just so a few can enjoy the perks of power.

As we’ve all recently witnessed, Democrats will help advance gays, lesbians, transgenders, illegal Mexicans, Muslims, and almost every approved aggrieved group, EXCEPT black people. And why is that?

Because Democrats know they don’t have to.
