Avondale, Ariz.—NASCAR denounced its association with the “Let's go, Brandon” political cry being used across the country as an insult directed at President Joe Biden. Steve Phelps, NASCAR's president, said Friday the top motorsports series in the United States does not want to be associated with politics “on the left or the right.” Phelps also said NASCAR will pursue action against any illegal use of its trademarks on merchandise boasting the slogan. Retired baseball star Lenny Dykstra posted a photo on Twitter this week of a man eating breakfast at a New Jersey hotel wearing a black “Let's go, Brandon” shirt alongside NASCAR's trademarked color bars.

Comments:

Marxist-infiltrated NASCAR's disdain for its dwindling customer base is such that they openly announce that their fans, who already debase themselves by funding an organization that despises them, are also stupid.

This movement is so much bigger that NASCAR. Do you really think we care? Uh, no. I have a feeling Let's Go Brandon is here to stay. FJB had been around for weeks at football games and other gatherings. You simply cannot stop it with your wagging finger and a tut, tut! We have had it with all the crap the msm, the so called elites, the politicos, the sport stars, the Hollywood weirdos, the school boards, the illegals and anybody else who can't grasp what is happening. Frankly I am in love with the whole thing. It's like our pioneer spirit has returned. I love spunky. We put up with a lot during President Trumps time in office and now you whine. Sorry, not sorry.

You remember that "noose" on the garage door. Like it or not, you chose to be in it up to your neck. That's why the fans told you to shut up. Should have listened. Let's go, NASCAR!

I noticed that the usual suspects have denounced the Braves tomahawk chop as racist. I also noticed the the Braves victory parade was lined by a million people doing the chop...black, white, Hispanic and Asian...all chopping away happily. Good luck on trying to ban it. People in this country have just about had enough. The Dems better hope the worst they see is the tomahawk chop instead of someone using a real one on their lefty heads.

NASCAR certainly doesn't understand their fan base if they think that democrats show up to watch their cars go around and around the ovals. Reality is, they might ought to consider how many fans they lost by denouncing the Confederate flags. In the meantime, Let's go Brandon.

Talk about misreading your customer. Phelps obviously doesn't remember the crowd reaction to Trump's fly by at the Daytona 500 on AF1 at 800 ft above the back straight, followed by he and Melania taking a few laps in the Beast before taking the stage to start the race...and then leading the pack for the pace lap. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=air+force+one+fly+by+at+daytona&&view=detail&mid=3040FE941298A0DB84BE3040FE941298A0DB84BE&rvsmid=0CECC2C31B2F721E5B500CECC2C31B2F721E5B50&FORM=VDQVAP

NASCAR Truck Series just finished their final race of the season, and determined their season champion. Meanwhile the crowd was chanting 'Lets Go Brandon'. Not one comment by the announcers of course. The people come to the race TO SEE A RACE. Go political, and the fans will tell NASCAR exactly what they think. The fans aren't there to be lectured.

Same as #34, when watching auto racing, I prefer Formula 1 and IMSA (Le Mans, Sebring, etc.). Those cars are far superior to NASCAR's boxy domestics. When ol' DW (Darrell Waltrip) retired from the announcer's booth a couple of years ago, I sort of retired as a viewer of stock car racing. Besides, I miss Ayrton Senna, who's been gone 27 years since Imola. No other driver could top the fiery Senna. Not Schumacher, not Hamilton. Oh, and Let's go, Brandon!

Of course NASCAR cannot encourage the use of it's trademarks against Resident Joe Biden, but NASCAR cannot control it's fans. What's left of them. Fans are dwindling fast. I haven't watched a full race this year. NASCAR started dying when Dale Earnhart died.

A governor of President Joe Biden's own party is standing up to his sweeping vaccine mandate, claiming it's 'too late' in the pandemic for broad federal action even as the pandemic's effects continue to roil the US economy. Kansas Democrat Governor Laura Kelly, who is up for re-election in 2022, released a statement on Saturday announcing that her state is rejecting Biden's vaccine order for private businesses that employ more than 100 people.(Snip)Kelly said states at this point in the pandemic have 'already developed systems' to fight coronavirus' effects on health and the economy, largely without the federal government's help.

Russian social media disinformation campaigns and the increasingly hostile political battles they’ve fueled across America represent a “true constitutional threat” to the nation, contributing to COVID-19 vaccine skepticism and other serious issues in the military and beyond, a top Air Force general told The Washington Times this week.

The Empire State is set to reap upwards of $170 billion after the House of Representatives passed a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill late Friday night. The Senate passed the bipartisan bill back in August, but the legislation had been stalled for months in the lower chamber as progressive and moderate Democrats haggled over the details.(Snip)The cash will also mean faster ferries, completing a high-occupancy vehicles (HOV) lane on the Staten Island Expressway, and upgrading the city sewer system to better handle flooding and more. Like its Senate counterpart, the bill was bipartisan, with 13 Republicans—including New York Reps. John Katko, Tom Reed, Nicole Malliotakis

The lucrative $50,000-per-year journalist tax break that Democrats have tucked within President Biden’s multitrillion-dollar social welfare bill is estimated to cost taxpayers more than $1.6 billion over the next decade. A new analysis of the legislation by the Joint Committee on Taxation, a special congressional panel made up of 10 senior lawmakers from both chambers of Congress, found that taxpayers would be on the hook for more than $1.6 billion if the tax credit becomes law. The credit would allow “local news” outlets to receive a quarterly tax credit, “equal to 50%” of a journalist’s wages up to a cap of $12,500-per-quarter.

The protection that fully vaccinated Americans have against COVID-19 infection severely drops over time, a new study suggests. A team led by the Public Health Institute in Oakland, California, found that the overall effectiveness of the three Covid vaccines available in the U.S fell from 87 percent in March to 48 percent by September. Johnson & Johnson vaccine recipients are especially at risk with just 13 percent efficacy against contracting the virus.(Snip)Researchers, who published their findings on Thursday in the journal Science, gathered data from the Veterans Health Administration from February to October 2021. In total, nearly 800,000 veterans' data was included in the massive study.

The former commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) believes the COVID-19 pandemic could end by the beginning of next year. In an appearance on CNBC's Squawk Box on Friday, Dr Scott Gottlieb said America is about to gain new tools to fight the disease in the form of antiviral pills from Pfizer Inc and Merck & Co. Gottlieb said recent Covid vaccine mandates implemented by President Joe Biden in workplaces may not even be necessary by the time they go into effect. Starting January 4, the mandate requires all companies with at least 100 employees to test weekly those who aren't fully vaccinated.

Procter & Gamble (“P&G”) is one of America’s largest corporations, with over 100,000 employees worldwide. It is putting a vaccine mandate into place for its more than 26,000 America-based employees, which will require them to get vaccinated, meet a “company-approved” exemption, or take weekly COVID tests. Those employees opposed to the vaccine mandate are pushing back. To that end, they released a powerful video warning, not P&G, but all Americans, what will happen if these employees lose their jobs. It’s unlikely that you’ve navigated through life without ever purchasing a product from P&G.

According to the RealClearPolitics transcription: "Let's get it straight. You said everybody coming across the border gets $450,000. The number I was referring to."

However, they apparently don't understand or haven't read what the Bible has to say about sexuality because a whopping 30% of that entire generation now identify as LGBTQ.(Snip)...they are the most populous generation in American society today, comprising more than 70 million adults in the U.S.(Snip)...attributed the unusually high number of Millennials being LGBTQ was due to social and news media coverage that makes it "safe and cool" for young Americans to identify that way--whether or not it represents their actual sexual orientation.
