The All-Star Game That Wasn’t: Stacey
Abrams, MLB, and the $100 Million Strikeout
Posted By: Hazymac, 7/15/2025 8:12:16 AM
Tonight, the 2025 Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be played at Truist Park in metro Atlanta. It’s a celebratory event—four years overdue—but few in the media or the commissioner’s office want to talk about what happened last time. In 2021, Commissioner Rob Manfred yanked this very event out of Georgia over a so-called voting rights controversy fueled by Stacey Abrams and her political machine. The justification? Georgia’s election law, Senate Bill 202, was labeled “Jim Crow 2.0.” The damage? Nearly $100 million in lost revenue for local businesses. Yet, this story started long before SB 202.

The Free Beacon: “No equal on the left”
8 replies
Jill Abramson is the former executive editor of the New York Times. She now teaches journalism at Northeastern University and is a contributing opinion columnist for the Boston Globe. Yesterday the Globe carried her column on the Washington Free Beacon under the headline “The conservative weapon bringing down university presidents and law reviews.” Subhead: “The Washington Free Beacon is publishing scoops that have left blood on the floor at Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, Duke, and other prestigious corners of academia.”
I'm sorry, y'all.
I can't crack on this greasy, pathetic sleazeball enough.
But this post will not be dedicated to skewering oleaginous California Governor Gavin 'Randall-Flagg Lite' Newsom for being a complete slime whose propensity for lying and manipulative subterfuge gives pondscum a bad rap. (X) (As I said last week - y'all got took.)
No.
No.
This is going to be a little different approach to tweaking twitchy Twinkle Teeth.
Let's call it a lighthearted romp through the evidence of what a frickin' freakazoid he really is - if you can stand to take two seconds to watch him in action.
I mean eyeballs on the man, watch.
His mannerisms are...unsettling.
The alphabet wars are, as you might think, primarily about sexuality, sex, and sexual morality. When looked at in those terms, as many liberals do or claim to, you can see, if you squint hard enough, the point they make about just letting people live their lives in peace. At least until you start thinking about the impact that allowing men into women's spaces and reality slaps you in the face.
Most liberals only like to think about the issue as a question of tolerance. What do we care if some men want to wear dresses? In many cases, that is the limit of their thought process, akin to asking
Gavin Newsom's Four Hour, Curse-Filled,
Gaslighting Interview Previews His Presidential Campaign 8 replies
Gaslighting Interview Previews His Presidential Campaign 8 replies
Four hours of gaslighting and cursing.
I've watched most of Newsom's latest venture in podcast politics in a four-hour-long Shawn Ryan Show interview. It was a curse-word-filled apologia of his time as governor and how everything is great in LaLa Land.
Here are some highlights.
Gavin Newsom is in favor of gun control, but he's not. He presided over and encouraged the dumbest decriminalization of felonies, prompting massive theft rings to prey upon shop owners, causing a mass exodus of people and retail outlets, but California is one of the toughest on crime. He's not running for president, but he is.
Let's kick off this column by paraphrasing Ronald Reagan: there they go again.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has been boldly — and annoyingly — trying to make a case to Democrats to be the party's presidential nominee in 2028. Some may say it's a premature bid but, let's be honest, our presidential election cycles are practically endless now. For all intents and purposes, the 2028 primary season starts next Sunday, just after brunch.
Don't shoot the messenger.
Newsom knows that he has to get a head start because he's attempting to do something that is nigh on impossible in the current Dem electoral climate:
Many of us can recall when Barack Obama eagerly proclaimed on the eve of his election "we are five days away from transforming the United States of America" to thundering cheers of adoration back in 2008.
Very few failed to ask why America, a constitutional republic, with self-governance as its cornerstone, would need a transformation; and what would America be transformed into?
What if Barack Obama was a fraud, a communist Muslim plant ensconced into the highest echelons of our government by the U.N. and the World Economic Forum
In the annals of bad judgment, Elon Musk's picked fight with President Trump over federal spending stands out as a beaut.
While it's true that the recently passed congressional budget, a.k.a., the "Big Beautiful Bill" involved a small rise in spending in the bid to get it through, which was Musk's beef, a beef so strong he ended his relationship with President Trump, it also contained critical tax cuts which usually yield more in tax revenue than congressional estimates. as the economy booms. But there's an even bigger
Tim Kennedy: war hero or stolen valor fraud?
Kennedy, a former MMA fighter and a Green Beret veteran who’s a pretty popular and well-known personality in the special warfare influencer space, is taking serious heat for accusations that he lied about his military service. According to a report shared by Yahoo News, Kennedy is under investigation:
UFC veteran Tim Kennedy admitted in a social media post on Monday to fabricating a part of his U.S. Army history, previously claiming to have received a Bronze Star Medal with Valor. The National Guard Green Beret is now reportedly under investigation following the news coming to light.

It is the ultimate “eff you!” to residents, a two-handed slap in the face that beggars belief.
On the one hand, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass recently announced plans to give cash cards to illegal aliens.
Moreover, Mayor Bass said of her executive order: "The directive will help city workers know how to address immigration officials should they approach a city department.” Her order requires city departments to create plans to train employees on how to comply with Los Angeles’s sanctuary city ordinance.
Get that? She’s requiring that city government employees get instruction on how to defy federal immigration officials and mandates and instead comply

A report released Sunday in The New York Times reveals multiple pardons handed out in the final weeks of President Joe Biden’s presidency were signed by an autopen — some lacking Biden’s final authorization.
The article, titled “Biden Says He Made the Clemency Decisions That Were Recorded With Autopen,” seemingly tries to dispel claims by President Donald Trump “and his allies … that Joseph R. Biden Jr. was incapacitated and his staff conspired to take presidential actions in his name.”
In a brief phone interview with The Times, Biden insisted “I made every decision” and, according to The Times, asserted “that he had his staff use
I had this run through my mind after hearing Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) speak about the primitive conditions of residents of Alligator Alcatraz.
I pictured the $20,000 Pyramid with Dick Clark hosting a special episode: "The Deranged-Lefty Edition." The contestants? Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Adam Schiff. Schiff reads clues in the category of "Truly Horrifying Things."
Schiff: “Maggots in food. Heatstroke. Tents with raw sewage. Frogs in bedding.”
Debbie: “Toilets!”
Wrong.
Schiff: “Mosquitos the size of drones. Babies sleeping on the floor. Rat chewing on wires. Overflowing trash. Broken showers.”
Debbie: “People using toilets?”
Wrong.
Schiff: “No AC. No lawyers. No translators. Just broken fans and barbed wire.”
Debbie: “Gendered bathrooms!”
Wrong again. Some Democrats visited Alligator Alcatraz

Hunter Biden said in a new interview that Democrats lost the November election to President Trump because they weren’t loyal to his father, former President Biden. (Snip) “And I will tell you why we lost the last election. We lost the election because we did not remain loyal to the leader of the party. That’s my position,” he told Harrison, according to the excerpt. “We had the advantage of incumbency. We had advantage of an incredibly successful administration and the Democratic Party literally melted down.” The remarks are a part of a broader interview Harrison did with the former president’s
Vice President JD Vance cast two tie-breaking votes in the Senate Tuesday to move forward a $9.4B rescissions package — which would rip federal funding from PBS and NPR — in the upper chamber.
The Senate deadlocked, 50-50, on two procedural votes to start debate on the multibillion-dollar spending clawback package before Vance’s votes advanced the measure requested by the White House.
Three Republicans – Sens. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) – joined all Democrats in opposition to the bill.

Investigative reporter Paul Sperry has uncovered an interesting fact about leftist mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani: BREAKING: Alex Soros has funneled $24 mil to the NYC mayoral campaign of Muslim Zohran Mamdani thru his fundraising arm Working Families, which means Soros' wife HUMA ABEDIN, whose parents are Muslim Brotherhood, "will control the mayor of NY," a lawyer investigating Abedin told me (Snip)
Now the Soros plan is to take mayoralties, the better to finish off cities in ways district attorneys and secretaries of state cannot. Yet they present this boob as an independent. He's a puppet on some strings.
Seventeen immigration court judges have been fired in recent days, according to the union that represents them, as the Trump administration pushes forward with its mass deportations of immigrants in the country.
The International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers, which represents immigration court judges as well as other professionals, said in a news release that 15 judges were fired “without cause” on Friday and another two on Monday. The union said they were working in courts in 10 different states across the country — California, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Texas, Utah and Virginia.
Alpha News was on location as a search warrant was being served at several locations related to a “massive scheme to defraud” Medicaid and Minnesota’s Housing Stabilization Services (HSS) program.
According to the search warrant, the fraud investigation involves HSS providers who billed for various services intended to provide stable housing for Minnesotans.
The search warrant states, “The Program has proved to be extremely vulnerable to fraud.” (snip) Records indicate that Brilliant Minds Services is owned by Khalid Dayib and Mustafa Ali. Before April 2025, it was owned by Dayib, Ali, and a third partner, Moktar Hassan Aden.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday disowned his supporters who have called for the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, chiding them as "weaklings" who "bought into this *"
The lengthy post on Truth Social represents the clearest split from the faction of his MAGA base that has questioned the Justice Department’s handling of the case.
My "PAST supporters have bought into this “*” hook, line, and sinker," he said in the post, adding, "Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore!"

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security deported several illegal immigrants, including those convicted of serious crimes like murder and child rape, to a tiny land-locked nation in southern Africa.
DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin announced the move in an X post late Tuesday.
"A safe third country deportation flight to Eswatini in Southern Africa has landed— This flight took individuals so uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back," she wrote. "These depraved monsters have been terrorizing American communities, but thanks to [President Trump] (and) [DHS Secretary Kristi Noem], they are off of American soil."
Have fun in *checks notes* Eswatini, gentleman.
Is There No Cure For Democrats’ Derangement?

We’ve noted before that today’s Democrats are operating with a mental deficit. A new poll further confirms they are a broken people. While it’s good for a cheap laugh, because they are often smug, condescending and hateful to those who disagree with them, their fragile psychological state poses a threat to the republic.
A Rasmussen poll released Monday found that 60% of Democratic voters still believe “the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government to win the 2016 election.” As disturbing as that is, 69% of those who self-identify as “liberals” believe Donald Trump conspired with Moscow to beat Hillary Clinton.
Oakmont Country Club confirmed numerous reports on Wednesday that Wyndham Clark has been banned from the golf course property. After missing the cut at last month's U.S. Open, a tournament he won two years ago at Los Angeles Country Club, Clark took his anger out on lockers at the prestigious club. One alleged photo of the damage made its way around social media, as two bottom portions of lockers were completely caved in.
President Donald Trump is calling for Senator Adam Schiff (D., Calif.) to face consequences for alleged mortgage fraud related to his Maryland home.
“I have always suspected Shifty Adam Schiff was a scam artist. And now I learn that Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division have concluded that Adam Schiff has engaged in a sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud,” Trump posted on Truth Social Tuesday.
“Adam Schiff said that his primary residence was in MARYLAND to get a cheaper mortgage and rip off America, when he must LIVE in CALIFORNIA because he was a Congressman from CALIFORNIA. I always knew Adam Schiff was a Crook.
A California professor was arrested during a raid on a marijuana farm last week after allegedly throwing a tear gas canister at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
Jonathan Anthony Caravello, a philosophy and mathematics lecturer at California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI), was detained by federal agents during a riot at Glass House Farms in Carpinteria on Thursday, July 10. U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said Caravello was “charged with a violation of 18 USC 111,” assaulting or resisting a federal officer.
Donald Trump is once again angry, but this time his ire is directed at a new audience: his own MAGA supporters.
In a blistering post on Truth Social on Wednesday morning, Trump continued to push his backers to stop talking about Jeffrey Epstein, an issue that has driven what appears to be one of the most significant rifts between him and the political movement he built.
“Let those weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work,” he wrote. “Don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore.”
Trump later told reporters in the Oval Office that he had “lost faith in certain people”
