Pro sports teams in Texas refusing to play the national anthem will be making a very expensive decision. According to Outkick, a new Texas law took effect September 1 that requires all pro sports teams to play the national anthem or repay any government money received. Seeing as how most pro sports arenas are at least publicly funded in part, teams that refuse to play the national anthem could be on the hook for an outrageous amount of money. For those of you who might not remember, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban tried to stop his team from playing the national anthem and his choice caused massive backlash.

Not surprising Mark Cuban is a Marxist swine masquerading as a business entrepreneur. Someday he will announce his entry into the 2024 Presidential race to get the desperate recognition his massive ego desires and expects. Cuban has many trained monkeys within the MSM that salivate with desire when hearing his name.

Cool. Maybe at some point they'll turn their attention to the border, as Gov. Donothing claimed he'd do on starting on June 1.

Don’t you love this? However, let us not be distracted as #4 says. Our Governor Abbott and our lawmakers are strategically doing things right now that are meant to appeal to we conservatives and distract us. THE BORDER is Texas’ major issue. We are Ground Zero for the biggest national security threat now - the TX-MX border. Our politicians are all - from our Texas Senators and Congresspeople to the Governor wanting to discuss this as little as possible. We must not let it happen!

It's sad that our society has gotten so sickly PC that the legislature here felt they had to do this. I hope this is always known as the "Mark Cuban Law", since it was his idiocy and evil that made it necessary!!!

Make them broadcast it on tv, stand up, and play it the traditional way. This is a minimal start. Make them pledge allegiance to the USA. Coerce them not to say anything political, do that on their time, not ours. Force them to keep their clown antics to themselves. They need coercion. The owners like that. So pass a law and put the police out there to collar them, if they don't comply.

This a very dangerous law. It's almost certainly a violation of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. This law requires all pro sports teams to play the national anthem or repay any government money received. Almost everyone loves that the National Anthem is being played at sports events, but this Texas law is NOT "content neutral" (as it's limited to our National Anthem). These pro teams have First Amendment free speech rights under the First Amendment. Probably every affected pro team will gladly play the National Anthem at these sports events, but none can lawfully be FORCED to do so by this statute. This statute is dangerous because IF IT IS CONSTITUTIONAL Texas could in the future pass other statutes to mandate other content specific speech is mandatory, and it cannot be assumed that such other mandated speech would be popular. Our free speech rights cannot lawfully be based on the popularity of the speech, including the great popularity of our National Anthem. Seem far-featced? Austin, Texas is ultra-liberal and in many respects many local governments in Texas are not conservative. Not long ago a liberal local govermental entity in New York State tried to mandate (in the LGBTQ context) that employees in the workplace must speak using only specified gender pronouns including (among many others): "Xe, Xem, Xyre, zee, zem, zeres, Ze, Hirm, Hirs, Em, Eirs, ay, em, airs" etc.

Lawsuit written all over this law. Not a lawyer but 1st amendment issue seem apparent. If Texas wants to defund leftist pro teams, there are other ways to do it.

I don't think the Anthem should be played at sports events. It should be reserved for events where it will be respected. I don't support giving the left opportunities to take a crap on America.

Just about every American Presidency has a singular, “defining moment.” It may be a prolonged affair such as the thirteen days of mettle which made up The Cuban Missile Crisis for the gutsy John F. Kennedy, or the 444 days of utter ineptitude and indecisiveness by the pusillanimous Jimmy Carter. Contrarily, a defining moment may come in the form of a single decision and its precise implementation as we saw with Harry S. Truman opting to bomb Hiroshima, or perhaps with a quote followed by world-changing events as witnessed by Ronald Reagan’s, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”

The American Medical Association (AMA) is calling for the "immediate end" to the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19, and for doctors to stop prescribing it for that purpose, amid a spike in the use of the drug. Ivermectin, often used as a deworming agent in animals and sometimes for humans, is not approved to treat COVID-19 and has not been shown to work for that purpose. Poison control centers have recorded a five-fold increase in calls related to ivermectin, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Dr. Anthony Fauci on Thursday said that the new Mu variant of COVID-19 is not considered to be “an immediate threat” to the US. Federal officials are “keeping a very close eye” on the virus mutation, though its “not at all even close to being dominant” in the US, the White House chief medical advisor said. “Bottom line, we’re paying attention to it. We take everything like that seriously, but we don’t consider it an immediate threat right now,” Fauci said during a White House COVID-19 briefing.

San Francisco is offering to pay people $300 a month - if they promise not to shoot each other. The 'woke' scheme to curb soaring violent crime is set to begin in October, offering gift cards as an incentive for prospective criminals to lay down their guns. Called the Dream Keeper Fellowship, the pilot program will kick off with 10 individuals who are deemed at high risk of committing a shooting or being shot, paying them $300 to act as 'public safety ambassadors.' Sweeteners could kick the monthly payments up to $500 if they meet certain benchmarks, such as seeking a job or maintaining parole appointments.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki snapped at a male reporter questioning how President Biden squares his abortion views with his Catholic faith, telling him: 'I know you've never been pregnant.' 'Why does the President support abortion when his own catholic faith teaches it is morally wrong?' Owen Jensen, reporter for Catholic television network EWTN, asked the press secretary. 'He believes it's a woman's right, it's a woman's body and it's her choice. It's up to a woman to make those decisions and a woman's decision to make with her doctor.'

I’ve often been hard on Sen. Joe Manchin and for good reason. Too often in the past, he’s presented himself as an unshakable moderate in order to keep his seat in deep-red West Virginia, while at the same time folding on major issues when he gets to Washington. Yet, I have to give him credit. Under immense pressure from the far-left of his party, including the leadership in Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, Manchin appears to be stiffening his spine. I’m not saying to trust him just yet, but it’s a good sign. Today, Manchin penned an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal

The U.S. military may work with the Taliban terrorist group in the future, the military’s top officer said Wednesday. Asked if the United States would coordinate with the Taliban against ISIS in the future, Gen. Mark Milley said that it was “possible.” “Going going forward, I would not want to make any predictions,” added Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. “I would tell you that we’re going to do everything that we can to make sure we remain focused on ISIS-K—understand that network and, at the time of our choosing in the future, hold them accountable for what they’ve done,” he said, referring to an ISIS affiliate that has claimed responsibility

One of Texas’ largest abortion clinics rushed to perform “67 abortions in 17 hours” ahead of a deadline that would effectively ban most abortions in the state after six weeks — the time a fetal heartbeat can be detected. The Texas law behind the new restrictions went into effect at 12 a.m. Wednesday morning, apparently prompting numerous women in the state to quickly get abortions when they may have been waiting to do so. The 19th News, a feminist news outlet started by two former Texas Tribune employees, reported the increased abortions at Whole Woman’s Health in Fort Worth, Texas,

A viral TikTok trend claims to educate women who believe they are attracted to men but have only been socially conditioned into thinking they are heterosexual. Compulsory heterosexuality, colloquially known as ‘comphet’, is a term used to describe the belief that Western culture has coerced women into trying to view all connections between men and women as sexual or romantic. The argument is all women have been conditioned from childhood to view any feelings they have towards men as attraction—with some authors even going so far as to say all females are actually lesbian by nature.

President Biden announced Thursday that he has directed the Department of Health and Human Services and the Justice Department to launch a “whole-of-government” effort to look for ways to protect women’s rights after the Supreme Court refused to block a Texas law banning abortions after six weeks. The Supreme Court divided 5-4 on Wednesday, leaving the Texas abortion restriction, which went into effect the same day, in place while litigation from pro-choice groups challenging the law continues in lower courts.
