And a growing number of those are choosing NOT to watch the NBA on TV.

That's me. I've never once in my life watched it and I don't expect I ever will.


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

According to Joy, officers should...
warning, tase a person,
You cannot "taze" an imminent threat. Please try to understand the word "imminent."



New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

Have we gotten to the point where "systemic" is now just a buzz word used to emphasize something, and just attached to whatever needs said emphasis, rather than things that are actually systemic? I am not even sure if most people know why "systemic" is used in conjunction with "racism." A good place to start is looking up "Red lining," followed by looking up the definition of "systemic."

Putting the word systemic in front of the word ignorance makes just as much sense as it does in front of racism.

You're not wrong, since ignorance is the parent mechanism behind the development and perpetuation of racism.


I'm here for a good, hearty debate, to agree and disagree respectfully, and commiserate on the current state of terrestrial radio.
