Peacocks: Pride of Jersey City

Original Article

Posted By: pritch, 3/26/2022 10:43:01 AM

Who doesn’t love it when the underdog wins? And when that underdog is someone you’ve known and supported for years, through thick and thin, well, that’s the ultimate feel-good story. We at The Jersey Journal happily add our congratulations and cheers today to the heap of hurrahs pouring in for the St. Peter’s University men’s basketball team, which stunned the sports world with its definitive NCAA win Thursday night over heavily favored University of Kentucky.

Comments:

Until they had to rock the "Black Lives Matter" and "end Racism" shirts. I don't know what they are teaching at this school, but they should have left the activism out. I blame the coach. Sorry, boys, I love the Cinderella story, but much like my views of the NFL and the mess they got into, you have lost my support in the tourney.

I usually root for the Big 10 team in this tournament but I also love a good "Cinderella story". So I was torn between the two last night until I saw the shirts the guys on St. Peter's bench were wearing. Not pleased at all that the activists won.

I wonder what the white guys on the team think about the BLM shirts. I hope the Tar Heels crush the ghetto boys in the next round.

Rename that team to the St. Peters Bracket Busters. As for all the woke nonsense, I don't give a rat's rear end. It has solved nothing. Quite the opposite, it has made matters worse.

Defense, hustle, the extra pass, position, no stupid fouls, teamwork, and practice matter more during March Madness.

Why wearing those BLM looting and burning shirts? I'm sorry they won any games and hope they lose against UNC

I'm thrilled for the Peacocks' success. Their hustle on the court every minute of each game has earned my respect. Even Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley said last night that all four of the Peacocks' guards were better at point than any other point guards they've seen in this tournament. If African American athletes choose to wear "Black Lives Matter" slogans, that's little matter to me. I don't expect young black athletes to be as aware and up-to-date as Lucianne posters are concerning the fraudulent motivations behind the founding of that corrupt group. I save my loathing for those who should know better, such as Mittens Romney who marched with BLM at the front of a protest parade shortly after the George Floyd fiasco. I also note that this article is outdated by two games/brackets, being seven days old. The Murray and Purdue games were as exciting as the Kentucky game. I'm likewise happy for their hundreds of fans assembled at St. Peter's, watching the game on television.

Not a game I ever cared about, and the kind of people who make up the teams today, make it even less interesting.

I, too, was disappointed when at the end o/f the game, the subs came out with their warm ups on, and the black lives matter was showing. As for the game, they played well. Purdue had a seven foot four inch center, and St Peter doesn't even have a center - just some 6'7 and 6'8 forwards. Every year, there is a Cinderella team in the tournament, and St Pete earned that title. Their twins from Mali are good players, and they seemed to be having fun. And there was great movement on offense, along with good ball handling. Now if the NCAA could come up with guidance for the referees on fouls - games are beginning to look like rugby matches. Sooner or later, there will be a fatality on the court.

Can we just play sports and leave activism at home? It is just so tiresome. Walking billboards for whatever political message just dilutes the fun of the game. Let's just stop it. Please.

As Donald Trump faces the possibility that his presidency will end early and in disgrace, Newsmax TV host Greg Kelly is focusing on a different priority: the impeachment of President-Elect Joe Biden. Ever since the 2020 election ended, Kelly has denied Biden’s victory, pushed numerous voter fraud conspiracy theories, and claimed Trump would definitely get a second term. When confronted with the unavoidable reality of Trump’s defeat, he compared Biden to a bank robber getting away with his crime.

President Biden’s Putin speech in Poland

He came, he saw, he confused. Joe Biden’s call-to-arms speech in Poland was long on soaring rhetoric about the virtues of democracy but woefully short on what more the West will do to help Ukraine defeat the Russian invasion. But by the time he got to the finish, most of that was forgotten. What mattered most and what will be remembered for a long time was a single line the president of the United States said about the president of Russia: “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.”(Snip)Maybe the idea just popped into Biden’s addled brain and he added it on the fly.

Tech giant Apple is working on turning its iPhone and other products into a subscription-based hardware service sharing some similarities with a car lease. Bloomberg reports that tech giant Apple is developing a subscription service for its iPhone and other hardware products, which could turn iPhone ownership into a subscription service rather than direct hardware ownership. The service would be Apple’s biggest effort so far to enter the automatically recurring sales market. The project is reportedly still in development, according to sources with knowledge of the matter, and has yet to be finalized. Apple shares climbed to a session high falling Bloomberg’s reporting of the feature late this week,

Joe Biden’s trip overseas has been a disaster! Biden has dramatically escalated his rhetoric against Vladimir Putin, calling for the Russian leader to be removed because of his brutal invasion of Ukraine. “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” Biden’s said at the very end of a speech in Poland’s capital that served as the capstone on a four-day trip to Europe. Biden has frequently talked about ensuring that the Kremlin’s now two-month invasion becomes a “strategic failure” for Putin and has described the Russian leader as a “war criminal.” But until his remarks in Warsaw, the American leader had not said that Putin should not run Russia.

Lately, when we think about what’s happening to America’s military under Biden, we’ve been focusing on the Pentagon’s obsessions with race, LGBTQ+++ issues (especially transgenderism), women’s rights, and political “wrong think” (i.e., conservativism). That obsession has consistently put progressive social policy ahead of military cohesion and readiness. However, Jim Webb, who was a Marine infantry officer while in Vietnam, then the Navy secretary under Ronald Reagan and, lastly, a Virginia senator during the Obama years, has written an op-ed about a different concern: The potentially damaging, purely operational changes Marine commandment Gen. David Berger intends to impose on the Corps.

Following the New York Times’ recent acknowledgment that the infamous Hunter Biden laptop is actually 100% legit, new polling released this week by Rasmussen Reports shows that a growing number of Democrat voters are waking up to the fact that the 2020 election was, at the very least, rigged, if not outright stolen. In other words, the narrative is crumbling – it’s impossible to hide the fact that Biden is an illegitimate and incompetent president. According to the poll from March 24th, nearly a quarter of registered Democrat voters now believe that Joe would not be president today if the media had done their jobs

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Sunday that the United States is not looking for 'regime change' in Moscow or anywhere else in the world after President Joe Biden said Vladimir Putin 'cannot remain in power.' Biden went directly after the Russian autocrat in an emotional speech on Saturday, warning if Putin's ambitions went unchecked it could lead to decades of war in Europe. Speaking to reporters in Jerusalem the next day, Blinken explained that his boss was likely referring to Putin's influence outside of his country—including Moscow's bloody and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine which has now spanned over a month.
