Colin Kapernick Has Given The NFL Colin Cancer So To Speak.
The NFL Is Full Of Sh*T.
The people have spoken.
As I’ve written before, boycotts just seem to work a lot better when spearheaded by conservatives as opposed to liberals.
Extremely recent history has shown that to be true yet again.
While the far-left flounders to dissuade people from eating at In-N-Out Burger, for the sole reason that the California-based burger chain dared to donate to Republicans, it took conservatives all of a day to put a noticeable dent in apparel titan Nike.
Regardless of how you felt about the price, quality or branding of Nike, for years it had always been a generally inoffensive apparel company. Yes, its marketing tends to skew toward “trying to be edgy,” but it was hardly boycott-worthy.

That is, until the company decided to thrust the polarizing Colin Kaepernick front and center for its 30th anniversary ad campaign.

No matter how you feel about Colin Kaepernick, his anthem protests, his anti-police and pro-dictator rhetoric and clothing choice (he infamously wore socks depicting cops as pigs and, on a separate occasion, a T-shirt shirt emblazoned with the image of former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro) you have to admit that he is a divisive figure.
After all, while Kaepernick obviously has his supporters, he has just as many detractors who find his message to be anti-American and extremely disrespectful to the men and women who serve this country.

That displeasure with Kaepernick kicked off an immediate #BoycottNike movement, primarily led by conservatives, when Nike revealed its big collaboration with the NFL’s most famous malcontent.

From all indications, it wasn’t just Twitter user “DavetheWave” who ditched Nike stock. Countless others must have followed suit because Nike’s stock took an overnight tumble. In other words, just the likelihood of an effective conservative boycott of the company had investors more than a little skittish.
Does this show companies should fear conservative boycotts?

According to Reuters, Nike stocks fell by 2.7 percent on Tuesday, less than 24 hours after the company unveiled the Kaepernick ad. That figure may not seem large, in and of itself, but for a multi-billion dollar company, a 2.7 percent drop can account for hundreds of millions of dollars.
The effectiveness of a boycott is certainly subjective. After all, despite the 2.7 percent dip, Nike’s stock has still grown a healthy 31 percent in 2018, according to Bloomberg.
But the fact that conservative voices can deal a blow, no matter the size, to a massive company like Nike shows the power of a conservative-led boycott.
CNN is reporting that Nike investors are not happy with the Kaepernick ad. Whether the reasoning is moral, fiscal or both, they have every right to be.
Georgetown professor Michael Eric Dyson went on a rant against the president and even suggested that Hillary Clinton won the election during his eulogy at Aretha Franklin’s funeral on Friday.
“Then this orange apparition had the nerve to say she worked for him. You lugubrious leach, you dopey doppelgänger of deceit and deviance, you lethal liar, you dimwitted dictator, you foolish fascist,” Dyson continued. “She [didn’t] work for you, she worked above you. She worked beyond you. Get your preposition right. Then he [has] the nerve to say he’s going to grab it. That’s not what Aretha Franklin said. I’m going to give you something that you can feel.”
MARTHA MACCALLUM’S BURNING QUESTION ON LOUIS Farrakhan AT ARETHA FRANKLIN FUNERAL — ‘WHAT WAS HE DOING THERE?’
Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum on Friday wondered what “unapologetic anti-Semite” Louis Farrakhan was “doing up there” in such a prominent position at Aretha Franklin’s funeral.
The Fox News host told her panel that, despite the “amazing” performances of stars like Jennifer Hudson and Gladys Knight, she was “distracted by Louis Farrakhan who was in every single shot.”
“What was he doing there?” she asked the panel.
Liberal economist Kylie Patterson acknowledged the “mixed” history of Farrakhan but also noted both Franklin’s and Farrakhan’s involvement in the “liberation movement.”
“This is her funeral,” Patterson said. “I mean, it’s her choice, who she wants there, how she wants people sitting.”
“I just wonder how much jockeying there was for prime position,” MacCallum asked. “I saw that he was kind of pushing his website and all of this on Twitter. And I thought, ‘Gee, that’s kind of a little bit unfortunate’ that it was distracting in that way. He, you know, has said awful things about Jewish people, about white people, about gay people and I thought it was never the message that I heard in Aretha Franklin’s music.”
3 Perverted Men Charged With 1460 Counts Of Sex With Animals! Another Man Says Horse Winked At Him
Three Pennsylvania men have been arrested and charged with 1,460 counts of “sexual intercourse with animals,” in addition to animal abuse and endangering the welfare of children, according to Clearfield County District Attorney.
In what District Attorney William A. Shaw, Jr described as one of the “most extreme cases of animal abuse,” the three suspects were detained after a search at their makeshift farm last week, authorities announced on Monday. Bail was set at $100,000 each for Terry Wallace, 41, Matthew Brubaker, 32, and Marc Measnikoff, 34.
Authorities conducted the search following a tip-off from a “16-year-old juvenile male” who was reportedly living with the trio, and has since been taken into protective custody. “Right now we don’t believe the juvenile was sexually victimized,” Shaw said, although the suspects were still charged with “endangering the welfare of children.”
Information obtained from the 16-year old led State Police to believe that that the accused had sex with a number of animals, including dogs, horses, a cow and a goat. Allegedly, a specially designed V-shaped pen was used to facilitate the sexual intercourse. A substantial number of homemade videos of the acts were seized during the search on August 18.
Authorities are working to determine the extent of any mental or physical abuse to which the teenager may have been exposed. A Clearfield County Jail judge will preside over the preliminary hearings on Wednesday.
Man who had sex with horse claims filly winked to give consent
An Australian man has been jailed for having sex with a horse. Daniel Raymond Webb-Jackson, 31, told the New South Wales court the 2-year-old filly gave consent by smelling his crotch and winking at him.
Webb-Jackson pleaded not guilty to committing an act of cruelty to an animal after being caught at the stables of a Grafton horse trainer on January 22. The trainer installed CCTV cameras in the stables following a string of disturbances in the previous month.
When Webb-Jackson broke in to the stables, he triggered an alarm and was subsequently spotted on camera by the horse trainer opening a number of stalls. Police were called and they found Webb-Jackson hiding in the corner of the fourth open stall. After a short fracas he was arrested. The trainer told the Magistrate’s Court that the filly had been left “traumatised” by the incident.
“The filly went from being quiet to just being highly strung, she changed in 24 hours. We had to put her in the paddock to try and get her head right,” the trainer told the Grafton Daily Examiner. “You don’t want to see this sort of thing happening, it’s really sick stuff.”
In her judgment, Magistrate Karen Stafford said the two sexual acts — allowing a horse to fellate Webb-Jackson and digitally penetrating the horse — amounted to acts of cruelty, jailing Webb-Jackson for 10 months with a non-parole period of four months. He was also fined $700, but could be eligible for release as early as next week thanks to time served.
Webb-Jackson dodged a charge of bestiality, which in NSW can land a person in prison for up to for 14 years.

Birmingham, AL Mayor Randall L. Woodfin is facing a large amount of scrutiny after he said being a sanctuary city wouldn’t be enough and declared Birmingham a “welcoming city” during an interview with NPR’s “Code Switch.”
“I think ‘sanctuary city’ is narrowly tailored and isolated towards don’t have your police enforce certain things of rounding up and hurting people, which I agree with. We’re not going to do that. But ‘welcoming cities’ is more broadly about, how do we help our immigrant community? And as I go to Birmingham city schools, I can tell you our immigrant community continues to grow. So it’s – for me it has a broader positive impact, whereas sanctuary is don’t do this. Welcoming is, this is what we’re going to do,” said Woodfin during the interview.
Woodfin was also questioned on whether or not he would use the city’s resources for immigration enforcement.
“We’re not going to use our police to do anything around what I call rounding up people,” Woodfin told NPR.
Woodfin added, “We just don’t believe in that. I don’t believe in that as mayor. I’ve had a clear, direct conversation with my police chief. I’ve had a clear and direct conversation with my chief of our city jail. We’re not in that business.”
Woodfin also stated that Birmingham police would not ask for the immigration status of individuals.
Throughout the interview, Mayor Woodfin made it clear that ICE would not be enabled by the local police force in Birmingham.
Republicans across the state have taken to social media to challenge Woodfin’s notion and share their thoughts on the issue, especially Alabama Republican Chair Terry Lathan.
“[T]he Bham mayor condoning the breaking of our laws and demanding our law enforcement to do the same. Didn’t he pledge an oath to uphold the LAWS?” Lathan said in a tweet.
Lathan also shared her displeasure with Mayor Woodfin’s statements by tweeting “Apparently [Woodfin] wants to see government break our laws. That will make for an interesting city brochure.”
Ford Brown of Yellowhammer Radio in Birmingham shared his thoughts on the issue surrounding Woodfin’s comments and said, “I think that the biggest city in this state sets the tone for the rest of the state. What is Gov. Kay Ivey going to do about that?”
The Clintons were in Detroit today for Aretha Franklin’s funeral, and after viewing the open casket, the two made their way to different parts of the stage.
As Hillary approached the stairs, two people grabbed each of her arms to help her ascend the handful of steps.
Watch:
Earlier this year, Clinton wasn’t as successful on a staircase.
While visiting Jahaz Mahal in Dhar’s Mandu in March, Clinton was attempting to descend about 15 stairs.
She was holding the arm of an aide.
With Huma Abedin following behind, Clinton slipped about halfway down the descent, nearly tumbling down.
A man walking in front of her jumped to grab her as she reached for him.
Despite both men helping her get to the bottom of the stairs, she slipped again, nearly doing the splits.
Huma stopped to watch as Clinton attempted to regain her balance.
Hillary kicked off her sandals to get to the bottom of the stairs.
An assistant principal in Michigan is facing charges for allegedly breaking into a student’s home to search for prescription pills, police said.
Authorities said Amy Buchanan, who works as an assistant principal at Smith Middle School in Troy, staged a home invasion in a student’s home to search for the pills after dropping the student off at the home earlier in the day, the New York Postreported.
Security footage allegedly showed Buchanan, 47, ransacking through drawers and a purse inside the home. The home security system alerted the owner and authorities of motion inside the house.
Police eventually tracked down Buchanan and arrested her for allegedly breaking into the house.
Buchanan told the police she had been searching for prescription pills, but the homeowner claimed that $40 had been stolen.
She Is A Assistant Principle And She Is Breaking In A Student Home To Get Their Prescription Drugs. “Nuff Said Damit!”
Authorities charged the school administrator on Saturday with second-degree home invasion, and a judge ordered she be held on $500 bond.
Officials with the Troy School District announced Buchanan would be placed on administrative leave in light of the charges.
“We understand that this news may be very difficult for some students and staff at Smith Middle School as classes begin on Tuesday,” the Troy School District said in a statement obtained by the Detroit Free Press. “Appropriate resources and support will be made available to anyone who needs them.”
