San Francisco Giants pitcher Sam Coonrod refused to kneel during the national anthem Thursday night against the Dodgers.According to NBC Sports, members of the Giants took a knee during the national anthem, and Coonrod didn’t join them. Every member of both teams also kneeled before the anthem. The pitcher also didn’t participate in that action. The reason why? His Christian faith. (Tweet) “I’m a Christian, like I said, and I just can’t get on board with a couple of things that I have read about Black Lives Matter. How they lean toward Marxism and they’ve said some negative things about the nuclear family.

Good for you, Sam. Hopefully your organization will stand by you and defend you against the inevitable smears you will hear. But maybe hat's too much to expect from anything associated with San Francisco, a city that let Kate Steinle die without justice just to appeal to the voter's baser instincts.

With a surname like Coonrod, I'm amazed BLM hasn't been after him to change it, and calling it/him racist.

Coonrod didn't refuse to kneel. He just didn't kneel. Good for him. @#1 - The Giants Organization is fully behind BLM and 'social justice'. There is no way their newly hired manager would kneel unless given the thumbs up by management. As a lifetime Bay Area resident, the Giants have been my go to baseball team but I am appalled by this display of reverence for BLM, SJ and siding with the Rage Mob for no reason other than for want of being one of the cool kids. Ask any Giant kneeler why they do it and you'll get the pat answer - 'we support black people and are against police brutality' - blah blah blah. I have lost all respect for them and will not patronize their games in person or on television.

There's an old joke about a wealthy man who picked up the newspaper to see his vast holdings of stocks had become worthless overnight and he said to his mistress, "Honey, would you still love me if I were poor?" to which she replied, "Oh, of course I would, sweetheart. But I'd miss you." So to my kneeling Giants, I still love you but I'm going to miss you.

He did not have to kneel. But because he did not kneel, he will be fired. Not being with the narrative has that effect. And BLM is not affiliated with Marxism. BLM has its source in Marxism. And kneeling brings to mind the story of Daniel, and of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abendego. You can look them up in the book of Daniel in the Old Testament of the Bible. They refused to eat the food offered to idols. The Jewish youths did not do so badly. The appearance of the fourth person in the dreadful fiery furnace was amazing. So Coonrod may not play much baseball in the future, but he sure has a future as an evangelist!

As a (and probably only few of) conservative resident in the SF Bay Area, I always follow the Giants and Oakland As. As of this week, will no longer be a Giants fan. If the As follow suit with kneeling, I'll have to find another MLB to root for, or stop watching MLB altogether. Progressivism kills every thing that it touches. It tears down, and never builds up or replaces with anything even approaching sanity.

I'm disgusted with MLB. America's past time with BLM printed on the mound did it. The numb nuts owners swallowed the BS BLM crap, hook, line, and sinker. They even pressured players to put a BLM patch on their uniforms. Somebody needs to sit these idiots down and explain that BLM is a Marxist political movement bent on making the U.S. a communist country. The BLM speakers have made that plain and simple and have said it. BLM doesn't give a rat's rear end about black people.

Since announcing his candidacy for President in 2015, Donald Trump has dominated the national news cycle — largely to the benefit of legacy media companies. As a growing amount of their airtime centered upon their hatred of the businessman turned politician, many witnessed sharp increases in their audience sizes. The New York Times, for instance, saw more subscriptions in the last three months of 2016 than all of 2015 combined. During election week in 2020, CNN saw a 135% increase in viewership over the first week of November 2019. After the inauguration of President Biden, however, legacy media saw double-digit drops in their viewership.

Democrats call their current massive spending bill a "COVID relief" bill, but the half-trillion-dollar bailout of state governments has nothing to do with COVID-19 relief. Plenty of states are doing poorly fiscally, but generally, this has nothing to do with the pandemic and everything to do with their own mismanagement.This was a disputed point back in the spring, but no more. The numbers are in. The coronavirus has not left most states struggling for revenue the way people originally expected.The Congressional Budget Office is anticipating 4.6% economic growth in 2021.

A new survey from the National Republican Congressional Committee found that Republicans are in a strong position to take back the House in 2022, in part because Pelosi is so unpopular in every “key” subgroup, including women, Hispanics, and union households.Breitbart noted: The survey identified the 80-year-old speaker as the “most unpopular elected official in the country,” scoring a 52 percent unfavorable rating and 41 percent favorable rating.

Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
