NASCAR driver Brandon Brown has turned a corner and decided to completely and outwardly embrace the political slogan inadvertently inspired by his namesake, “Let’s go, Brandon” after previously trying to distance himself from the phrase.The 28-year-old racecar driver unveiled a new racecar that uses the popular acronym for the phrase, “LBG,” as part of a cryptocurrency promotion for LBGCoin which promotes itself on Twitter as a “meme coin inspiring patriotism.” Although a Republican, Brown previously cited that he had “zero desire” to get involved with politics as he tried to disassociate himself with the popular anti-Biden slogan and focus on his career

May as well capitalize on it, especially if big companies are too chicken to sponsor him. I went to the website to check out the bitcoin promotion. Do it.

Nashville, LBG is just a typo, if you follow through to the actual site, it is LGB, as it should be "LGBcoin" to be exact. It had me confused as well.

Let Brandon Go? Anyway, sure go cash in but the fact that he tried to avoid it at first is pure cowardice. The only reason he's "embracing" it now (he is not) is a bunch of his sponsors dumped him and his team needs the cash.

After attempting the Michael Jordan method he realized he did not have enough following to pull it off so went the direction that would get him following and support--wise choice in an environment of mostly conservative fans.

Turning the phrase into a point of confusion takes some of the power out of it, politically. When this has both "LBG" and "LBGCoin", the LGB-LBG confusion seems like more than a "typo".

If he managed to get a contract for the full 2022 season? That is a GOOD deal. A lot of the junior drivers without a lot of top fives or wins have to fight to get sponsored for every single race.

Brandon figured out what most celebrities know, publicity, good or bad, is always a good thing. Remember that short time that the media followed every step, every restaurant and shopping trip of Brittany Spears, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan? We even knew which days they did not wear panties and those days were usually when they struggled to get up out of limousines. Those ladies were never so famous, before or since.

It's smart for Brandon Brown--especially this Brandon, of all people!--to make the best of this situation he didn't ask to be in. My advice is for him to embrace it and enjoy it. There's nothing about it that makes Brandon Brown look bad. He's a successful race car driver. Even if its meaning is double, Let's go Brandon! A good line of poetry can mean many things. Kurt Schlichter nailed it when he wrote: "It’s the cry of the working class, bold and joyous, utterly uncontrollable." Brandon Brown should be the beneficiary. Incontinent Joe the, ahem, other type of beneficiary, care of a fortuitous NBC accident at Talladega. Grab it and run. Better still, floor it! In the cult classic Harold and Maude* (1971), Harold, who liked faking suicides to get back at his overbearing mother, was at the psychiatrist's office lying supine on the couch, being queried. Psychiatrist: Tell me, Harold, how many of these, eh, *suicides* have you performed? Harold: An accurate number would be difficult to gauge. Psychiatrist: Well, just give me a rough estimate. Harold: A rough estimate? I'd say [savoring the thought] fifteen. Psychiatrist: Fifteen? Harold: That's a rough estimate. Psychiatrist: Were they all done for your mother's benefit? Harold: No. No, I would not say "benefit." That last line can apply to several things as well. I like those double meaning things. No, no, "Brandon" is not for Joe's benefit. *Harold and Maude is a sweet but twisted tale about an intergenerational love affair between a 20-year-old man (Bud Cort) and a nearly 80-year-old woman (Ruth Gordon). The Cat Stevens soundtrack is of its time, and perfectly appropriate in the film. It's a black comedy, to say the least. I loved it. You might, too.

NEW YORK— New York’s attorney general recently subpoenaed former President Donald Trump and his two eldest children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., demanding their testimony in connection with a civil investigation into the family’s business practices, according to a court filing made public Monday.The subpoenas, stemming from Attorney General Letitia James’ yearslong investigation into matters including “the valuation of properties owned or controlled” by Trump and his company, the Trump Organization, came to light after James went to court last month seeking to force the Trumps to comply.

With the turn of the calendar to 2022, Republicans are not only looking to the 2022 midterm elections but to the prospect of Donald Trump running in 2024. Trump is hugely popular with the party’s base and that popularity freezes the plans of other possible candidates for the 2024 nomination. Trump’s hold on that nomination is brittle, however, because of his age. On election day in 2024 Donald Trump will be 78 years old. That is one year older than Ronald Reagan’s age when he left office in 1988.Looking at the 2024 contest from the other side of the race, there is no reason to expect that Joe Biden

As the anniversary of the Capitol Hill riot from January 6 approaches, the media have ramped up their efforts to remind us about that day. Every Sunday show featured someone involved with the U.S. Capitol. While "Fox News Sunday" spoke with chief of U.S. Capitol Police, Thomas Manger, who took on such a role in July.

Frequent consumers of news may be aware of Gallup's annual poll measuring the "most admired man" in America which is typically announced a few days before New Year's. The poll was done yearly from 1946 through 2020, with 1976 the only year that was skipped. NewsBusters pointed out a year ago that liberal news media lost interest in the annual poll after Donald Trump started edging out Barack Obama for first place, whereas the networks previously enjoyed using the survey to embarrassing Trump as sitting President failing to come in first place. This year, a Google search conspicuously shows no sign that Gallup conducted such a poll
