Customers attempting to print the popular anti-Biden chant "Let’s Go Brandon" on Titleist golf balls were given an error message and told their orders could not be completed. "So @Titleist has now banned the phrase ‘Let's Go Brandon!’ on their golf balls," social media strategist Caleb Hull tweeted Thursday, adding that he had been able to print the phrase on golf balls in the past. A report from PJ Media also stated that "Lets Go Brandon" was not allowed on the golf balls. [Tweet] When Fox News Digital attempted to personalize a Titleist Pro V1 ball on the company’s website with the phrase "Let’s Go Brandon", an error message said, "Sorry,

Titleist is the most played ball on Tour because it has been the most consistent ball for well over a half century. In recent years large competitors like Bridgestone, Callaway, Dunlop, etc., have put large amounts of money into ball technology, and whatever differences there were in consistency are probably gone by now. During the long prime period of his career, Jack Nicklaus was under contract to MacGregor, and played a MacGregor ball. Some experienced observers like fellow Tour player Dave Hill believed that Nicklaus would have won more if he had played a better ball. (If he had, he'd have won everything. Absolutely everything. He won most everything, anyway.) Back then, the differences between Titleist and its competitors was more noticeable. I was an exception, playing a balata covered Hogan ball my senior year in high school while everyone else played Titleist. If it was good enough for Mr. Hogan, it was good enough for me. As a pro, I played Titleist, exclusively. So did most of the other guys. On the first tee when the players were indentifying their ball, you'd hear, "I'm playing a 3," then "I'm hitting a 1," then "Okay, I'll play a 4." They were all playing Titleist, which came in several trajectories during the 'Eighties. Because I hit the ball very high, I played a Titleist Low Trajectory 100 compression. But as I said before, nowadays the differences between the approved balls on the USGA list are minor. Play whatever you want. And if you want to put in a word to Brandon, the manufacturer shouldn't get all huffy. But Acushnet (Titleist) is from eastern Massachusetts, near Buzzards Bay. Lotsa Democrats there. Scroom if they like FJB.

When the likes of CNN’s Fareed Zakaria say you’re doing a great job, you’re in trouble. When the likes of Fareed Zakaria tell the president of the United States that he’s doing a great job, we’re all in trouble. During the exercise in sycophancy that was his one-on-one interview with Old Joe Biden Sunday, Zakaria gushed improbably, “You’ve been a great president.” Oh yes, he did. Biden has driven the economy off a cliff, emboldened our nation’s most formidable foes worldwide, and made our Southern border a meaningless line on a piece of paper. He has poisoned race relations and overseen the introduction of the Left’s fascination with sexual deviance

According to heavily redacted documents from the National Security Agency obtained by The Daily Signal, there was a coordinated effort by the outgoing Obama administration to “torpedo the incoming presidency of Donald Trump.” Through a Freedom of Information Act request, The Daily Signal acquired 217 pages of documents. “The documents reveal that Obama administration officials, from Vice President Joe Biden down to several ambassadors and many officials in the Treasury and Energy departments, gained access to secret information about Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, President-elect Trump’s choice for national security adviser,” the report says.

Disgraced former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar has been stabbed multiple times in federal prison, according to sources. Sources told The Associated Press that the convicted sex abuser, 59, was attacked by another inmate at the high security United States Penitentiary Coleman in Florida on Sunday afternoon. Nassar was stabbed in the back and in the chest, one of the sources said. A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson confirmed toThe Independent that an inmate at Coleman was assaulted at around 2.35pm on Sunday. Responding staff immediately initiated life-saving measures before EMS arrived and continued to administer “life-saving efforts,” the spokesperson said. The inmate was then transported to a local hospital for further treatment and evaluation.

The headlines were stark and specific. Reuters claimed, “World registers hottest day ever recorded on July 3.” Well, “ever recorded” is misleading since the records have only been “recorded” since 1979. But what kind of a headline would that have been? At least the BBC was honest about their scare headline: “World’s hottest day since records began.” The bottom line: We’re all going to burn up and we’re all going to die unless we throw an hysterical climate change tantrum and demand that our government take panicky steps to save us from the climate change demons. There’s no doubt that this Independence Day was hot. It was very hot. It was uncomfortably hot

Humanity is doomed. I’m sorry to say it, but I’m not sure if there’s anything else one can conclude. Individuals and once-reputable organizations are going to absurd lengths to perpetuate the myths that people can be born in the “wrong body” and that plastic surgery and drug injections can actually change one’s sex. Those who perpetuated this nonsense were once limited to the fringes of society; now, it’s become mainstream. Even though polls show a large majority of Americans reject radical left-wing gender ideology, health organizations and even our government have been bullied into endorsing it lock, stock, and barrel.

White House records show that members of the SPLC have visited the White House at least 11 times over the short span of three years.

An archbishop in the Church of England said the opening of the “Lord’s Prayer” is considered “problematic” to some people because the 2,000-year-old prayer starts by addressing God as “Our Father.” Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell told the General Synod, the legislating and ruling body of the Church of England, that referring to God as “father” might be offensive to some people because of the negative connotations of patriarchy. “I know the word ‘father’ is problematic for those whose experience of earthly fathers has been destructive and abusive, and for all of us who have labored rather too much from an oppressively patriarchal grip on life,” Cottrell said,

Stein’s Law holds that “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.” The late Herbert Stein made the observation about economic trends, but his axiom perfectly describes Joe Biden’s shaky dance with political death. The president is trying to navigate a narrow path between two potential disasters. Each one could prove fatal to his tenure, but if the twain shall meet, he doesn’t have a prayer. And it’s a near certainty they will meet because the facts we already know are overwhelmingly stacked against him and more damaging information is coming soon. One track of his predicament stems from general public unhappiness with his performance.

Major legal rulings that dismantled the use of race in college admissions, undermined protections for LGBTQ people and tossed out President Joe Biden’s student debt relief program marked the end of a Supreme Court term in which the conservative supermajority continued to exert its dominance. The majority also doubled down on a controversial legal theory that limits the power of federal agencies to take unilateral action. Meanwhile, the justices rejected a far-fetched argument that would have limited the role of state courts in election disputes and turned away an aggressive attempt to challenge Biden administration immigration policy – both areas in which lawyers on the right might have overreached in their arguments.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was slammed for bowing multiple times when she met with China's vice premier He Lifeng, as some critics say the protocol error is a sign of American weakness. Yellen, who served as chair of the Federal Reserve before becoming Joe Biden's top financial official, wrapped up her first visit to China as treasury secretary on Sunday. Moments after bowing at least three times, Yellen then stumbled over He's name, calling him 'Vice Premier Hu.' Both Washington and Beijing said the meetings during her four-day trip were fruitful, although the visit - designed to help smooth a rocky relationship - did not generate any concrete agreements.
