Nina Jankowicz is President Joe Biden’s pick to serve as executive director of the Department of Homeland Security’s new Disinformation Governance Board—and her appointment has already met with some controversy.
— Newsweek, 4/28/22

“Controversy” is an understatement.

Psaki claimed Nina Jankowicz is an ‘expert’ with ‘extensive qualifications’ to lead DHS’ Governance Board
Biden ‘disinfo’ czar Nina Jankowicz ripped over cringeworthy Mary Poppins TikTok

Yes, it was that bad….

Nina Jankowicz is a classic test case for the liberal affliction known as psychotic “projection”.

So, who exactly is Nina Jankowicz? Certainly, not a person with any concerns about preserving freedom of speech or expression. A quick look at her Twitter history is enough to dispel that. When Facebook permanently banned Donald Trump from its service, Nina was in the wings complaining that this punishment was not harsh enough. Through a metaphor, Nina explained that only mass bans on hundreds or thousands of accounts would be enough to “fix” the disinformation “problem.”

So, why this now? Why is Joe Biden okay with forming such an ominous-sounding agency within DHS. Knowing Joe as we all do, it CAN’T be Joe’s idea or regarding Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter. What is this really about?

Could it be between now and the midterm election, a couple of major players in the Democrat Party could be at the center of uncomfortable attention; a couple of Democrats who MUST be protected at all costs?

During a speech at Stanford University on Thursday, former U.S. President Barack Obama presented his audience with a stark choice: “Do we allow our democracy to wither, or do we make it better?” Over the course of an hour-long address, Obama outlined the threat that disinformation online, including deepfake technology powered by AI, poses to democracy as well as ways he thought the problems might be addressed in the United States and abroad.

The committee for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign is seeking to block Special Counsel John Durham from obtaining certain documents related to law firm Perkins Coie and its work with the campaign, the Democratic National Committee and opposition research firm Fusion GPS. Hillary For America and the DNC are the holders of the privileges at issue, according to the filing.
— Fox News, 4/29/22

Interesting how this “disinformation” topic came out of nowhere and considering how many media outlets still have egg crusts on their faces for distributing Hillary’s Trump-Russia-collusion bullshit for four-plus years that distracted a presidential campaign, hampered a transition team, and kneecapped a presidency. It had to have been green-lighted by Hillary and Obama had to have known.

John Durham knows. He just has to have every i dotted and t crossed before he certifies proof of the greatest political scandal in American history. And when that happens, all involved in the conspiracy can’t depend on the legacy media to do all the heavy lifting. They’ll need something more and this is where Nina Jankowicz comes in.

Of all the old-and-reliable useful idiots Biden (or whomever) could have appointed for this DHS gig, he chose an expendable nutcase who’ll fit nicely under the bus when she goes after anyone and everyone who reports what may be coming from the special counsel. As usual when in the company of the like-minded, people like Jankowicz feel free to tell the truth about who they are, what they want, and what they’re willing (or not) to do to get it….

President Biden’s new disinformation czar Nina Jankowicz once belted out a raunchy parody version of a Christmas song — changing the lyrics to ask who she needed to “fuck” to be “famous and powerful,” according to resurfaced YouTube footage. “I want to be rich, famous, and powerful! Step on all my enemies and never do a thing,” Jankowicz sang in the clip from 2015.
— New York Post, 4/30/22

Looks like she got what she wanted. How…? We won’t ask.

Instead of being banned from a social media cite, Jankowicz could conceivably send goons with sub-machine guns kicking in the doors of Americans who shared a post embarrassing to Joe, Barack, Hillary, and Democrats as a whole.

After all, some things take relatively small amounts of intelligence to pull off.

So while it will be formerly known as the Disinformation Governance Board, it’s really going to be Disinformation Projection Board because like most of the so-called scandals specifically blamed on President Donald Trump, it turns out the Democrat left actually did the things the accused others of doing with no accountability.

For now.

UPDATE

It would appear the bully got too much a taste of her own medicine, and like most bullies, she ran away.

The Biden administration has “paused” its controversial plans to create a Disinformation Board, causing its would-be leader to resign.

In a statement Wednesday, Nina Jankowicz, the “disinformation expert” tapped to head the panel, said that “[w]ith the Board’s work paused and its future uncertain, and [sic] I have decided to leave DHS [the Department of Homeland Security] to return to my work in the public sphere.” Jankowicz’s departure and the decision to scrap the board was first reported by the Washington Post.

Whenever a liberal claims to be “mischaracterized”, it means uncomfortable truth was made public.

Jankowicz’s idea of standing up for the First Amendment included letting “verified” Twitter users “edit” other users’ tweets if the blue-checked chosen think they’re misleading. Jankowicz also repeatedly tried to spread doubt about The Post’s own reporting about Hunter Biden’s notorious laptop, telling the Associated Press in October 2020 that it should be viewed as “a Trump campaign product.” In addition, Jankowicz pushed the since-debunked claim in 2016 that then-presidential candidate Donald Trump had a tie to Kremlin-linked Alfa-Bank, an allegation at the center of an ongoing trial of a Clinton campaign lawyer accused by special counsel John Durham of lying to the FBI.

The misinformation maven was also ripped for a bizarre TikTok performance from February 2021 in which she altered the lyrics to the “Mary Poppins” song “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” to be about fake news.
— New York Post, 5/18/22

Jankowicz probably had been working on a landing spot long before her “announcement”. She’ll be back at work creating musical, pro-Democrat misinformation soon enough. After all, it IS what Nina does best.

In April, CNN shed -43% in total primetime viewers, -54% from the primetime demo, -34% in total day viewers and -43% in total day adults 25-54 vs. March 2022. Despite the double-digit-percent decline, CNN still is finishing April 2022 among basic cable’s top ten in total day, both in total viewers (No. 4) and among adults 25-54 (No. 8). How about in primetime? The story wasn’t quite as positive. CNN ranks No. 13 in April 2022 among total viewers, and No. 15 in the primetime demo.

For some reason once people get jobs in the entertainment industry, they not only immediately assume they are smarter than their audience, but also the American people are really stupid. It reflects in their programming from Honey Boo Boo to the Trailer Park Boys. The news media in so different whether it comes by way of Mika Brzezinski’s public declaration that it’s the job of the media to tell people what to think, or the latest example from CNN where their viewers are expected to abandon common sense because their anchors and reporters told them to.

Mockery being one of the easiest tactics to infuriate an information-challenged liberal, Tucker Carlson’s money lines sum up what we’re dealing with here and what CNN expects the nation to swallow.

The real threat, CNN informed us this morning, comes not from people who are angry about Sam Alito’s opinion, but from people who are happy about it. So, the ones who are celebrating what Sam Alito wrote are the ones who are the real danger to the Supreme Court.

Remember, CNN employees believe their audience is stupid….

Law enforcement sources tell CNN the real threat here is the far right. The far-right? Fences are going up outside the Supreme Court because the far-right poses a threat. The far-right is the one you have to watch out for. They’re the ones whose electronic communications you’ve got to ” monitor closely.” And that makes sense. Now that Roe v. Wade may be going away, these people are going to want to bomb as many abortion clinics as they can and hurt as many Supreme Court justices as possible. After all, the Supreme Court may get rid of a law that they have hated for 50 years. So, you can see why they would be moved to violence against the Supreme Court.
— Tucker Carlson, 5/6/22

With the benefit of few their viewers volunteering to attend Tea Party and/or Trump rallies, CNN felt safe smearing Republicans and conservatives as routinely violent when during the run-up to the infiltrated January 6 riot, no right-wing gathering resulted in any kind of violence (that is, until the left-wing arrived to disrupt). Almost every leftist gathering results in violence of some kind, including vandalism, rioting, arson, assaults, murders, and rape (see: the Occupy movement).

Now, our first response to this was to laugh. It seems too absurd to be real. How dumb do they think we are?

CNN’s long term objective is to promote the Democrat Party, their elected officials and destroy anyone who opposes them and their agenda. Their arrogant assumption is that their viewers accept everything their employees tell them, no matter how ridiculous.

Obviously, you have to say more crazy shit to be noticed when fewer and fewer people are listening.

At no point in modern American history can anyone remember seeing a president wander around after an official White House event with no one to talk to, people walking by him, and even ignoring him.

Well, add yet another historic first to the Joe Biden presidency….

Joe Biden is now the most unpopular person in virtually any room he enters. It’s the president United States in his own house, shunned. Nobody would talk to him. So Biden wandered off, looking vacant as a crowd formed around a former president, Barack Obama, who was obviously deeply grateful for the attention. And then it got worse. Biden tried to horn in on the conversation swirling around Obama. Everyone involved in that conversation, including Kamala Harris, who supposedly works for Biden, ignored Biden completely. Biden desperately tried to get Obama’s attention. He puts his hand on Obama’s shoulder. He even calls him “Barack” like they’re friends, but Obama blows him off. He acts like Biden is not even there.
— Tucker Carlson, 4/5/22

Joe Biden IS there because almost everyone in that room, in some way, supported him. Now they all want to act like he’s not their problem.

When you’re walking around aimlessly and alone at an event in your own “home”, that kinda’ says it all.

What does Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsom, Lori Lightfoot, Barack Obama and the other busted unmasked Democrat elite know the public does not and just how pissed off would the American people be if all has never been as they’ve portrayed it as?

Tucker Carlson’s writers had a lighter-than-usual workload on Friday as the Fox News host decided to spend seven minutes reading a Twitter thread posted by an unverified account in an effort explain why many Americans think the 2020 presidential election was rigged for Joe Biden.

“The U.S. presidential election took place a little over eight months ago,” Carlson began. “And even now, many people who voted for Donald Trump believe there was something fraudulent about the whole thing. Why do they think that?”

The short answer to this is that Trump and right wing media – including Fox News – lied to their supporters and viewers by suggesting or outright declaring that the election was stolen. No proof of widespread voter fraud has ever been offered; only wild conjecture and conspiracy theories.
— Michael Luciano, Mediaite, 7/9/21

Obviously, the very notion that Election 2020 was stolen continues to be a concept requiring consistent mocking pushback by the Democrat left.

Carlson’s segment was compelling.

Salon, Mediaite contributor Michael Luciano‘s snarky comment shows how frustrated the left is that over 80 million Americans won’t obey and accept Joe Biden as the duly elected President of the United States. He should be thankful that, because of the constraints of time, Tucker Carlson didn’t read the entire Tweet thread by podcaster Darryl Cooper….

I think I’ve had discussions w/enough Boomer-tier Trump supporters who believe the 2020 election was fraudulent to extract a general theory about their perspective. It is also the perspective of most of the people at the Capitol on 1/6, and probably even Trump himself. Most believe some or all of the theories involving midnight ballots, voting machines, etc, but what you find when you talk to them is that, while they’ll defend those positions w/info they got from Hannity or Breitbart or whatever, they’re not particularly attached to them.

Here are the facts – actual, confirmed facts – that shape their perspective: 1) The FBI/etc spied on the 2016 Trump campaign using evidence manufactured by the Clinton campaign. We now know that all involved knew it was fake from Day 1 (see: Brennan’s July 2016 memo, etc).

These are Tea Party people. The types who give their kids a pocket Constitution for their birthday and have Founding Fathers memes in their bios. The intel community spying on a presidential campaign using fake evidence (incl forged documents) is a big deal to them.

Everyone involved lied about their involvement as long as they could. We only learned the DNC paid for the manufactured evidence because of a court order. Comey denied on TV knowing the DNC paid for it, when we have emails from a year earlier proving that he knew. This was true with everyone, from CIA Dir Brennan & Adam Schiff – who were on TV saying they’d seen clear evidence of collusion w/Russia, while admitting under oath behind closed doors that they hadn’t – all the way down the line. In the end we learned that it was ALL fake.

At first, many Trump ppl were worried there must be some collusion, because every media & intel agency wouldn’t make it up out of nothing. When it was clear that they had made it up, people expected a reckoning, and shed many illusions about their gov’t when it didn’t happen.

We know as fact: a) The Steele dossier was the sole evidence used to justify spying on the Trump campaign, b) The FBI knew the Steele dossier was a DNC op, c) Steele’s source told the FBI the info was unserious, d) they did not inform the court of any of this and kept spying.

Trump supporters know the collusion case front and back. They went from worrying the collusion must be real, to suspecting it might be fake, to realizing it was a scam, then watched as every institution – agencies, the press, Congress, academia – gaslit them for another year. Worse, collusion was used to scare people away from working in the administration. They knew their entire lives would be investigated. Many quit because they were being bankrupted by legal fees. The DoJ, press, & gov’t destroyed lives and actively subverted an elected admin.

This is where people whose political identity was largely defined by a naive belief in what they learned in Civics class began to see the outline of a Regime that crossed all institutional boundaries. Because it had stepped out of the shadows to unite against an interloper.

GOP propaganda still has many of them thinking in terms of partisan binaries, but A LOT of Trump supporters see that the Regime is not partisan. They all know that the same institutions would have taken opposite sides if it was a Tulsi Gabbard vs Jeb Bush election.

It’s hard to describe to people on the left (who are used to thinking of gov’t as a conspiracy… Watergate, COINTELPRO, WMD, etc) how shocking & disillusioning this was for people who encourage their sons to enlist in the Army, and hate ppl who don’t stand for the Anthem. They could have managed the shock if it only involved the government. But the behavior of the corporate press is really what radicalized them. They hate journalists more than they hate any politician or gov’t official, because they feel most betrayed by them.

The idea that the press is driven by ratings/sensationalism became untenable. If that were true, they’d be all over the Epstein story. The corporate press is the propaganda arm of the Regime they now see in outline. Nothing anyone says will ever make them unsee that, period.

This is profoundly disorienting. Many of them don’t know for certain whether ballots were faked in November 2020, but they know for absolute certain that the press, the FBI, etc would lie to them if there was. They have every reason to believe that, and it’s probably true.

They watched the press behave like animals for four years. Tens of millions of people will always see Kavanaugh as a gang rapist, based on nothing, because of CNN. And CNN seems proud of that. They led a lynch mob against a high school kid. They cheered on a summer of riots. They always claimed the media had liberal bias, fine, whatever. They still thought the press would admit truth if they were cornered. Now they don’t. It’s a different thing to watch them invent stories whole cloth in order to destroy regular lives and spark mass violence.

Time Mag told us that during the 2020 riots, there were weekly conference calls involving, among others, leaders of the protests, the local officials who refused to stop them, and media people who framed them for political effect. In Ukraine we call that a color revolution.

Throughout the summer, Democrat governors took advantage of COVID to change voting procedures. It wasn’t just the mail-ins (they lowered signature matching standards, etc). After the collusion scam, the fake impeachment, Trump ppl expected shenanigans by now.

Re: “fake impeachment”, we now know that Trump’s request for Ukraine to cooperate w/the DOJ regarding Biden’s $ activities in Ukraine was in support of an active investigation being pursued by the FBI and Ukraine AG at the time, and so a completely legitimate request.

Then you get the Hunter laptop scandal. Big Tech ran a full-on censorship campaign against a major newspaper to protect a political candidate. Period. Everyone knows it, all of the Tech companies now admit it was a “mistake” – but, ya know, the election’s over, so who cares? Goes w/o saying, but: If the NY Times had Don Jr’s laptop, full of pics of him smoking crack and engaging in group sex, lots of lurid family drama, emails describing direct corruption and backed up by the CEO of the company they were using, the NYT wouldn’t have been banned.

Think back: Stories about Trump being pissed on by Russian prostitutes and blackmailed by Putin were promoted as fact, and the only evidence was a document paid for by his opposition and disavowed by its source. The NY Post was banned for reporting on true information. The reaction of Trump ppl to all this was not, “no fair!” That’s how they felt about Romney’s “binders of women” in 2012. This is different. Now they see, correctly, that every institution is captured by ppl who will use any means to exclude them from the political process.

And yet they showed up in record numbers to vote. He got 13m more votes than in 2016, 10m more than Clinton got! As election night dragged on, they allowed themselves some hope. But when the four critical swing states (and only those states) went dark at midnight, they knew.

Over the ensuing weeks, they got shuffled around by grifters and media scam artists selling them conspiracy theories. They latched onto one, then another increasingly absurd theory as they tried to put a concrete name on something very real.

Media & Tech did everything to make things worse. Everything about the election was strange – the changes to procedure, unprecedented mail-in voting, the delays, etc – but rather than admit that and make everything transparent, they banned discussion of it (even in DMs!). Everyone knows that, just as Don Jr’s laptop would’ve been the story of the century, if everything about the election dispute was the same, except the parties were reversed, suspicions about the outcome would’ve been Taken Very Seriously. See 2016 for proof.

Even the courts’ refusal of the case gets nowhere w/them, because of how the opposition embraced mass political violence. They’ll say, w/good reason: What judge will stick his neck out for Trump knowing he’ll be destroyed in the media as a violent mob burns down his house?

It’s a fact, according to Time Magazine, that mass riots were planned in cities across the country if Trump won. Sure, they were “protests”, but they were planned by the same people as during the summer, and everyone knows what it would have meant. Judges have families, too.

Forget the ballot conspiracies. It’s a fact that governors used COVID to unconstitutionally alter election procedures (the Constitution states that only legislatures can do so) to help Biden to make up for a massive enthusiasm gap by gaming the mail-in ballot system. They knew it was unconstitutional, it’s right there in plain English. But they knew the cases wouldn’t see court until after the election. And what judge will toss millions of ballots because a governor broke the rules? The threat of mass riots wasn’t implied, it was direct.

a) The entrenched bureaucracy & security state subverted Trump from Day 1, b) The press is part of the operation, c) Election rules were changed, d) Big Tech censors opposition, e) Political violence is legitimized & encouraged, f) Trump is banned from social media.

They were led down some rabbit holes, but they are absolutely right that their gov’t is monopolized by a Regime that believes they are beneath representation, and will observe no limits to keep them getting it. Trump fans should be happy he lost; it might’ve kept him alive.
— @martyrmade, 7/8/21

Michael Luciano would probably say he’d never dignify #TheBigLie and respond to each of Cooper’s valid points.

That’s because, aside of repeating media talking points, he can’t.

There is a general rule in life that makes absolute common sense: talk only about that which you know. The issue here is people who not only talk about what they don’t know, but make stuff up and say as much on national television.

Gerald Griggs, vice president of the NAACP Atlanta chapter, appeared on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News program to discuss the whole Colin Kaepernick issue and the two sports illiterates went at it. However, football (unlike activism) is a game of stats and almost every statistic that came out of Griggs’ mouth was an unforced fumble. We’re not sure where Griggs came up with some of his statistics, but the left is notorious for throwing out questionable, yet easily recitable numbers like 1-in-5 or 97% that’s blindly repeated as fact.

Seeing how his fellow activists could be sports ignorant, throwing around dubious numbers to make the point was clearly the objective.

The fact that only 16 other quarterbacks have a higher quarterback rating than Colin Kaepernick speaks a lot to what’s going on with the NFL and the reason why we believe this is an issue of race.
— Gerald Griggs, Tucker Carlson Tonight, 8/25/17

Again, we’re not sure where Griggs came up with Kaepernick being the “17th best quarterback in the league” in 2016, even though that would also make him a numerical mediocre in a league of 32 teams, because according to ESPN, he ranked a lot lower than what Griggs repeatedly told Fox News viewers.

Colin Kaepernick was dead last in the passer rating and the only one with negative rating points. He was second to last when it came to expected points off of an opposing team’s penalty, second to last in overall quarterback snaps because when you can’t make first downs, you don’t stay on the field long.

To be fair, there was ONE statistic where Colin Kaepernick led the league and that was yards per rush.

Seeing how the San Francisco 49ers finished winning only two out of 14 games in 2016, Kaepernick spent most of his time running for his life because he was ineffective; not because he was that good.

ABC News: Supporters want Colin Kaepernick signed by NFL season start
WaPo: The NFL cowards who aren’t signing Colin Kaepernick
Politico: The Martyring of Colin Kaepernick
NY Daily News: Protesters rally outside of the NFL headquarters demanding Colin Kaepernick be signed

The National Football League is not at all worried about a boycott by people who probably don’t watch football on Sunday, know little about Kaepernick’s unimpressive on-the-field performance over the last few years, and couldn’t even tell you what division his old team is in. Aside from chanting “No justice, no peace” outside of a stadium where the field is called the gridiron upon which teams battle, they are irrelevant to football organizations, the League, and knowledgeable fans.

As stated before, the reasons Colin Kaepernick is still without a job are…

1. There is no obligation that he must be hired by anyone, let alone a National Football League franchise.
2. He declined to re-sign with the team that put up with his mediocre performance.
3. There are very few teams in dire need of a backup quarterback that deems social justice activism more important that winning football games.
4. The League figured him out in his sophomore season and he failed to up his game appropriately: he just isn’t that good.

Tucker Carlson could have ripped Griggs to shreds however he’s a wonk who clearly knew little about football and failed to run through a big gap in Griggs’ porous defense.

Social justice activists are more about forcing a team to accept someone who’s not all that good just because he’s black (half), which is also kinda’ racist.

The Noise

Colin Kaepernick was oh-so close to signing with the Baltimore Ravens, that is until a “pro ho”, attention-starved activist literally screwed things up.

Enough of us have seen #BlackLivesMatter women get in people’s face, disrupt events, and while there may be no formal affiliation here, there’s a documented activist nature to Nessa Diab.

As the entire world knows by now, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the National Anthem in Friday’s pre-season game against Green Bay because he was protesting ‘black oppression’ in the United States. We’re now hearing that it was actually his girlfriend Nessa’s idea for Colin to protest.

Fox News also looked into the couple and found evidence that seems to show that his “conversion to social activism” happened only after he began dating his girlfriend, DJ Nessa Diab. Her social media account has plenty of photos and posts related to her job as a DJ but it also shows her stance as a black rights activist and Islam defender.
— The Grio, 9/3/16

That ill-timed Tweet may have sealed Kaepernick’s fate because no one wants to have to deal with drama, on or off the field, and especially by an irrelevant non-participant.

Colin Kaepernick is supposedly protesting the unfair treatment of young black males by law enforcement. What he’s conveniently leaving out of the discussion is the main reason young black males are in vulnerable positions in the first place: the absence of responsible black fathers in the home.

Given his background, not sure how he can truly relate.

A statistic as glaring as 77% of blacks being born into homes with no father would be worthy of that “discussion” but it’s a fact liberals tiptoe and instead actively glorify the status of the single mothers who raise NFL stars.

The white elites at ESPN, the NFL on CBS, the NFL on Fox, the NFL Network AND Colin Kaepernick are too chickshit to broach the real reason for young black males’ overrepresentation in the criminal justice system as it would put a spotlight on the Democrat encouragement of black mothers to rely on a social system that financially rewards the absence of a father.

The ramifications are obvious and in professional sports, the cycle has been in-play for decades.

Big Poppas: The Athletes With the Most Children by the Most Women
Fathering Out-of-Wedlock Kids Has Become Commonplace Among Athletes, Many of Whom Seem Oblivious to the Legal, Financial and Emotional Consequences

Kaepernick’s blaming law enforcement is easy. Heaven forbid society is forced to issue a modicum of culpability and responsibility on those they deem not knowing any better.

Failed Hype

One would hope a marketing professor at NYU would know the market he’s talking about, in this case the National Football League and its fans.

He’s gone far out on a limb.

Nike’s decision to feature former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick in the 30th anniversary “Just Do It” campaign was a stroke of brilliance, according to Scott Galloway, professor at the NYU Stern School of Business. In a “Squawk Alley” interview, Galloway said the sportswear and athletic shoe giant took a calculated risk in choosing the polarizing Kaepernick, who started kneeling during the national anthem in 2016, when he was on the San Francisco 49ers, to protest the treatment of African-Americans in the U.S.

Nike did the math, figuring about 60 percent of its full-year revenue is generated outside North America and “no one overseas thinks America is handling race issues well,” Galloway said, adding “two-thirds of customers under the age of 40 tend to bias progressive” and they’re the prime users of Nike products.
— CNBC, 9/6/18

With all due respect to the professor, who really gives a shit what other countries think and to give them a position of moral superiority when it comes to race is dangerously naive. There are many nations around the world that give blacks a fraction of the freedoms we enjoy here. And while “two-thirds of customers under the age of 40 tend to bias progressive”, I’d like to know just how many of those two-thirds are actually the ones paying for the high-priced products and not their parents.

Kaepernick on Monday tweeted a photo of the advertisement, which quickly went viral online, spawning support and backlash. Then Nike dropped the commercial Wednesday on YouTube.

So much for “brilliance”.

Kaepernick’s Baggage

With the recent season-ending injuries creating possible openings in the National Football League, the controversy surrounding the availability of Colin Kaepernick has reemerged. Not by the sports media per se, but by the very girlfriend who quashed a done deal over a year ago.

Colin Kaepernick’s girlfriend, Nessa, is among those who believe the NFL is intentionally keeping the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback out of the league. She wasn’t the only one to insinuate as much, as former NFL player Charles Woodson told TMZ, “There’s a lot of guys that are in the conversation to be picked up. We know the reason [Kaepernick is] not one of those guys … but he should be.“

TMZ also noted former cornerback Antonio Cromartie suggested Kaepernick is better than the list of quarterbacks Washington brought in to work out after Alex Smith suffered an injury in Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans.
— Bleacher Report, 11/19/18

So inconvenient for Nessa, but Kaepernick may have been playing on an NFL field today had it not been for her opportunist “activist” big mouth… and more.

Of course, the media and the activist left will never admit that Nessa’s direct interference in the Baltimore Ravens deal is THE reason Colin Kaepernick is not throwing footballs on an NFL field for an NFL team today.

As written before, NFL teams are businesses and their main goal is to win as many football games as possible; not absorb those who have an unrelated off-the-field agenda. Calling a team owner racist with nothing to back it up is also on that things-not-to-do list; especially when your previous on-the-field record was questionable at best and almost everything made worse by a girlfriend who may just up and leave once someone of a higher profile and value is available.

Settlement Fail

There was supposedly dancing in the streets for Colin Kaepernick after it was reported that he reached a settlement against the NFL for colluding to keep him out of football.

The NFL and lawyers for players Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid jointly announced Friday that they had settled a complaint of collusion by the players, who claimed football team owners blackballed them because they had protested racial injustice and police brutality by kneeling during the playing of the national anthem before games.
— CNBC, 2/15/19

And we were talking big bucks!

The settlement is confidential, but Colin Kaepernick sure looks happy the day after striking a deal with the NFL. Colin posed with his legal team — led by Mark Geragos and Ben Meiselas — early Saturday morning with a big ol’ smile on his face.

There are reports the settlement could be close to $100 million, but so far nobody is saying anything.
— TMZ, 2/16/19

The problem is some people just wouldn’t stop talking and that’s not good when you sign an non-disclosure agreement in order to receive your payoff. You don’t poke the bear.

What was privately a victory yesterday will be publicly made to look like something entirely different today.

Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid’s collusion grievance settlement with the NFL was for much less than many expected.

According to The Wall Street Journal’s Andrew Beaton, Kaepernick and Reid will receive less than $10 million from the NFL to settle their collusion grievances with the league. It’s unclear how the settlement will be divided and how much the players will receive after legal fees, according to Beaton.
— Business Insider, 3/21/19

And what screwed it all up again? A familiar name that keeps coming up….

Until mouths are shut, it’s just about football and only those who actually play the game, no one will want Colin Kaepernick and his baggage anywhere near their team.
