One of the realities of social media addiction is the self-awareness of the addicted. A recent survey from the British Standards Institution found that 68% of teen respondents said they feel worse when they spend too much time on social media, and 47% would remove them from existence if they could. So it’s not surprising […] The post ‘Offline’ Trend Sees Thousands Attending Phone-Free Concerts, Dates, and Events Where You Can ‘Find Your People’ appeared first on Good News Network.

News Buffy the Vampire Slayer Sarah Michelle Gellar Says Chloé Zhao Wants to “Revisit,” Not “Reinvent,” Buffy the Vampire Slayer Zhao has been a Buffy fan for decades and is directing the pilot. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on November 19, 2025 Screenshot: 20th Century Fox Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: 20th Century Fox The Buffy the Vampire Slayer sequel series is moving ahead with its pilot order at Hulu, and its director Chloé Zhao as well as Buffy herself, Sarah Michelle Gellar, are slowly revealing some details about the project. In an interview with Vanity Fair to promote her movie Hamnet, Zhao showcased her bona fides as a decades-long Buffy fan and said she saw the series as being “about found family” and that, over twenty years since the original show’s finale, “we thought it may be time for a new wave of monsters and vampires and demons that we get to learn about our humanity through.”   The article also confirmed, with a statement from Gellar, that the new show is not a reboot. Gellar, in an email to Vanity Fair, described it as a series “coming from [Zhao,] the true fan that is desperate to revisit the world, not reinvent.” The actor also stated that it was Zhao who got her on board to begin with, calling her a visionary who, she wrote, has “an international eye which broadens the scope of what we can achieve.” However, Zhao has noted that characters from the original series will be coming back to this not-a-reboot (call it sequel, call it a revisit, call it a revival instead). She didn’t specify who exactly beyond Gellar, though Zhao and Gellar have both been tight-lipped about how she’ll fit into the new show’s story. One thing that’s clear is that Zhao takes Buffy seriously and is a true fan. “You can never replace these characters. I would never allow that,” Zhao recently told Variety. “I love my cast, the new cast. We will bring back OG characters for sure. And it is a show that bridges two generations—it’s not just about the kids. I think the fandom is so important to us. We want the fandom to see themselves mirrored in the original fandom. And of course, we want new fans to join, and it’s very much about both generations.” No news yet on whether the new series will move beyond the pilot order, but here’s to keeping our fingers crossed.

WASHINGTON, Nov 19 (Reuters) – The U.S. JusticeDepartment will release files from its investigation into thelate sex offender Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days, AttorneyGeneral Pam Bondi said on Wednesday, after Congress voted nearlyunanimously to force President Donald Trump’s administration tomake them public. The material could shed more light on the activities ofEpstein, who socialized with Trump and other notable figuresbefore his 2008 conviction on charges of soliciting a minor forprostitution. At a news conference, Bondi confirmed that the JusticeDepartment will release its Epstein-related material within 30days, as required by legislation that passed theRepublican-controlled House of Representatives and Senate onTuesday. “We will continue to follow the law and encourage maximumtransparency,” she said. But that release may not be comprehensive, as the agency mayhave to hold back material that could impact Trump-orderedinvestigations of Democratic figures who associated withEpstein. The department also will protect the identities of anysex-trafficking victims whose names appear in the documents, shesaid.(Reporting by Andy Sullivan and Jana Winter; Editing by ScottMalone and Daniel Wallis) The post US Justice Department Will Release Epstein Files Within 30 Days, Bondi Says appeared first on The Daily Signal.

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION, ALEXANDRIA, Va.—Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan might have made a crucial error in the case against former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey, which his defense attorneys claim warrants dismissal. During a hearing to consider Comey’s motion to dismiss the case for vindictive and selective prosecution, attorneys for the Department of Justice (DOJ) admitted that the full grand jury never saw the final version of the indictment. The detail emerged while Judge Michael Nachmanoff pressed the government about inconsistencies in the grand jury transcript. At one point, he called Halligan, who has so far left an assistant U.S. attorney to speak for the government, to the stand. Halligan secured the indictment on Sept. 25, just days after her appointment. She stated that only the foreperson and another grand juror were present when the final version was signed. After the grand jury rejected one of the three original counts in the indictment, the redrafted two-count indictment was not presented to the full grand jury, prosecutors told the judge. “There is no indictment,” Comey’s defense attorney Michael Dreeben concluded. “That’s a threshold for dismissing this case.”  Judge Nachmanoff did not make a determination on the issue but requested further briefing. A magistrate judge suggested Monday that “profound investigative missteps” by the Department of Justice (DOJ) could provide grounds for dismissal, ordering prosecutors to turn over grand jury transcripts to the defense. Nachmanoff halted the order to give the government time to file objections. ‘Halligan Was Not A Puppet’ On the central matter of Wednesday’s hearing, Comey’s attorneys argued the president used the DOJ to prosecute a political enemy who spoke critically in the public square, alleging a pattern of “retaliation” that began around Comey’s May 2017 firing as FBI director. Defense attorneys pointed to President Donald Trump’s Sept. 20 Truth Social post directed at Attorney General Pam Bondi, where the president questioned why “nothing is being done” about Comey and others, who he asserted were “guilty as hell.” He suggested Halligan as a replacement for former U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert, who reportedly resigned under pressure from Trump to bring charges. “Mrs. Halligan was not a puppet,” DOJ prosecutor Nathaniel Lemons said, asserting there is no proof that anybody but her made the final decision to prosecute. Comey’s defense asserted that public reporting indicates no career prosecutor wanted to bring the case. Lemons objected to citing newspapers and anonymous sources. During one exchange, Nachmanoff questioned whether a “declination memo” had been written prior to the indictment, which would have outlined reasons not to go forward with prosecution. Lemons replied that the Deputy Attorney General’s office instructed him not to reveal the information at this time. Comey faces charges for allegedly lying during his September 2020 testimony before Congress and obstructing a congressional investigation. The government alleges he authorized Columbia University law professor Daniel Richman to leak information, though he testified that he had not “authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports” regarding an investigation into Hillary Clinton. The motion to dismiss for vindictive and selective prosecution is one of several efforts by defense attorneys to keep Comey’s case from going to trial. Defense attorneys are also challenging Halligan’s appointment, which they argue was improper.

America’s H-1B visa program has affected few job markets more than the technology industry.   There have been over 500,000 layoffs in the tech industry since 2022 and recent computer science graduates face a greater unemployment rate in their field than America’s average unemployment rate, Kevin Lynn, the executive director of the Institute for Sound Public Policy, explained during a Heritage Foundation event Wednesday. The H-1B visa program is largely to blame, according to Lynn.   “The H-1B visa program is by far the largest computer sciences guest worker program in existence,” according to Lynn.   In 2023, 134,000 American citizens graduated from computer science programs. That same year, 121,000 foreign workers entered the U.S. to work computer jobs, and among those, 75,000 were in the H-1B visa program, Lynn said.   Since the creation of the H-1B visa program in 1990, the “quantity and the quality of the jobs for computer and engineering professions have suffered greatly for Americans,” Lynn said.   The intent of the H-1B visa program is to allow employers to hire temporary skilled foreign workers for positions they cannot fill with an American worker. These foreigners, by law, are meant to fill “specialty occupations,” and have at least acquired a bachelors degree.   Simon Hankinson, a senior research Fellow at The Heritage Foundation who formerly worked in the Foreign Service and helped process thousands of H-1B visas, said the applicants he saw while working as a diplomat could be divided into two categories. First, the H-1B visa application that fit the legal paradigm might be for a graduate of the Indian Institute for Technology, was and applicant at the top of his class, is fluent in English, has a multipage resume, and is going to work for a large U.S. technology company that will be paying them a six figure salary.  Applicants that appeared either erroneous or even fraudulent, according to Hankinson, often showed clear signs of bias or nepotism as they sought to hire only from a very specific group of foreigners, or simply sought to hire foreigners for jobs that American citizens were clearly capable of fulfilling, such as a manager at a Pizza Hut.   Hankinson asserted that the premise for the H-1B visa may not be as relevant today as it was 25 years ago as training for all fields has improved and became more specialized in America over the years.   “I believe … that there isn’t really a shortage of talent and skilled labor in the United States,” Hankinson said. “But there is, I will concede, a deep rot in our educational institutions that results in poor matches for the job market.”   Education standards have declined at many higher education institutions amid a push for equity, leading to less skilled new graduates, he said.   Young people are “willing to work,” Hankinson said, “but we need to train them for the jobs that exist, and we need to motivate them to work by giving them the right salaries, benefits, and not making it too easy not to work.”   Hankinson, and the other speakers on the Heritage event, said that the H-1B visa program needs to be reformed to ensure it is used to fill real gaps in the labor market, instead of taking jobs from U.S. citizens.   A number of changes can, and should, be made to the H-1B visa program to end its abuse, Ronil Hira, an associate professor in the Department of Political Science at Howard University, explained.   Employers, for example, should be required to pay H-1B visa holders the same as a U.S. citizen is required to be paid, she said. While the visa program promises not to adversely affect American workers, cases have been found in which mass hiding of H-1B visa holders is predated by mass layoffs of U.S. citizens, even though the program pledges not to adversely affect Americans. “Violators” of the rules of the H-1B visa program “need to receive significant punishment when there’s violations that are found,” Hira said.   The topic of H-1B visas is controversial even on the political Right. The Daily Signal’s Elizabeth Mitchell reported Wednesday that there is disagreement over the program within the Trump administration as the president remains largely a supporter of the program, but other administration officials want to restrict its use to the point where foreigners won’t be able to use it at all.   Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, said the different views on the H-1B visa program, in his opinion, “reflects a kind of … populist versus establishment dynamic within the administration. There’s a lot of people, even in this second administration, who … still have a kind of older perspective on the issue,” he said, adding that he believes President Donald Trump is one of those people.  “The president is not a restrictionist,” Krikorian said, explaining that more “old style” Republican values on immigration treats legal immigration as good and illegal immigration as bad. But now, with the “next cohort” of Republicans, there is a movement toward “genuine restrictions” on various forms of immigration.   The debate over the future of H-1B visa program, and various U.S. immigration programs, is likely far from over, according to the panelists.   The post H-1B Visas Are Pushing Americans Out of Job Market, Experts Warn appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Michigan state lawmakers asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to send election monitors for the state’s 2026 contests, noting that Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is running for governor in an election she is supervising.  The letter from 22 Republican state legislators to Bondi also points out the various election controversies Benson has been involved in, which includes resisting efforts to remove the names of dead people from voter registration lists and declining to cooperate with federal inquiries about voter registration lists. “Our concerns center on Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, who, as the state’s chief election official, will oversee the 2026 elections while simultaneously appearing on the ballot as a candidate for governor,” said the Nov. 13 letter, with signers that included state Senate Republican Leader Aric Nesbitt and state Sen. Ruth Johnson, a former Republican secretary of state. “This creates an inherent and unavoidable conflict of interest, as Secretary Benson will be administering an election in which she has a direct personal stake in the outcome,” the lawmakers’ letter to Bondi continued.  “Such a situation risks compromising the impartiality required for fair election oversight and demands external federal scrutiny to maintain public trust.” The blue-leaning Michigan has been a hotly contested state in national elections, as President Donald Trump carried the state in 2016 and 2024, but lost it in 2020. Benson’s office did not respond to inquiries from The Daily Signal for this story. However, she posted on X it is “reckless” to raise questions about the safety of Michigan elections, though without directly noting the request for election monitors.  Our elections are some of the safest and most secure in the country because the clerks, poll workers, and volunteers — who represent the entire political spectrum — ensure the voices and the votes of the people are heard and upheld. Suggesting anything else is a reckless…— Jocelyn Benson (@JocelynBenson) November 14, 2025 “Our elections are some of the safest and most secure in the country because the clerks, poll workers, and volunteers — who represent the entire political spectrum — ensure the voices and the votes of the people are heard and upheld,” Benson said in the post. “Suggesting anything else is a reckless attempt to distract from the real issues facing people of Michigan: making sure they can afford to live and thrive in Michigan.” A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment on the request to Bondi for election monitors. The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division dispatched election monitors to both California and New Jersey for elections earlier this month for elections.  In September, the Justice Department sued six states–including Michigan–for failure to produce their statewide voter registration lists upon request. States are required to keep updated voter registration lists under both the 1993 National Voter Registration Act and the 2002 Help America Vote Act.  The Michigan legislators letter signed by nine state senators and 13 state representatives noted the Justice Department’s lawsuit against Michigan in their letter.  “Further eroding confidence is Secretary Benson’s persistent failure to maintain accurate voter rolls, including her refusal to remove deceased registrants as required by federal law,” the GOP legislators said in the letter to Bondi. “Audits and investigations have revealed more than 25,000 deceased individuals remaining on Michigan’s voter rolls, prompting ongoing litigation that has escalated to the U.S. Supreme Court.” The Public Interest Legal Foundation, a watchdog group, identified the likely dead individuals still registered to vote in Michigan. The group sued Benson’s office to force an investigation of the voter rolls, citing the federal laws.  The legislators also noted that even Benson’s office confirmed that at least 16 noncitizens voted in Michigan in the 2024 election.  “While her office downplayed this as ‘rare,’ it underscores systemic failures in citizenship verification processes during voter registration and ballot issuance, failures that could recur without intervention,” the letter says.  The post Why Lawmakers for This Battleground State are Seeking Federal Election Monitors appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Genius!!! Jasmine Crockett Embarrasses Herself with Epstein Gotcha Moment

On Tuesday and Wednesday, the liberal media rushed to the defense of ABC chief White House correspondent and liberal tool Mary Bruce following President Trump’s extensive dressing down of her over questions about to him about the Epstein files and Trump family business dealings in Saudi Arabia and then to the Saudi crown prince about 9/11 and Jamal Khashoggi. Unsurprisingly, ABC’s Good Morning America co-hosts Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos came to Bruce’s defense on Wednesday: ABC’s Robin Roberts fawns over Mary Bruce after she was yelled at by President Trump yesterday: “And, Mary, I don't have to tell you, these are extremely challenging times. And thank you for your reporting and your willingness to ask these types of questions. It must be surreal… pic.twitter.com/zat2ymZ8Q4 — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) November 19, 2025   Did Bruce just return from fighting Boko Horam? Why do liberal journalists treat asking tough questions of Republicans like the most dangerous and patriotic thing ever? Our Jorge Bonilla hit the bullseye with this take about the adulation for Bruce: “Given the media’s outcry, you’d think Trump had Mary Bruce wiretapped or prosecuted under the Espionage Act.” Leaving aside the content of Bruce’s questions, it was about time a Republican — anyone, really — tore this female Jim Acosta new one. MS NOW — the artist formerly known as MSNBC — weighed in repeatedly. Here were a few. Weekday afternoon host Katy Tur expressed disgust over Trump’s clapback because Bruce is “not a employee of the president for asking the Saudi Arabian head MBS about Jamal Khashoggi, who was killed, dismembered, and the CIA — also, Marco Rubio said that it was directed by [Mohammad bin Salman].” MS NOW White House correspondent Vaughn Hillyard joined in moments later: Yesterday, MS NOW WH correspondent Vaughn Hillyard rushed to defend ABC's Mary Bruce -- twice in 2 mins! -- because Donald Trump was mean to her, saying she “is a fine human being and a great colleague here from ABC here at the White House” and her questions were “commendable” pic.twitter.com/998cLqvb0f — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) November 19, 2025   In the next hour, Tur ignored Trump’s actual answer tearing into Epstein and instead claimed Trump launched “a personal attack” on Bruce with “a multi-minute diatribe about how he doesn’t like her and how disgusting she is and how he doesn’t like ABC.” Independent journalist Tara Palmeri agreed and reminded those unaware she used to be ABC and thus “worked with Mary Bruce at ABC and she is a stellar reporter and does not deserve that kind of abuse for asking questions, which are her right as a journalist.” Palmeri cartoonishly then said this was Bruce’s right to ask what she wanted in “representing their constituents — representing the people.” Quite the Freudian slip!     “That is what the press does when they ask those questions. So he’s actually attacking his own constituents when he attacks members of the press,” she added. In primetime, Last Word host Lawrence O’Donnell praised Bruce by calling her “the only reporter” in the White House “who rose to the moment” in grilling bin Salman. MS NOW kept it up on Wednesday. Way Too Early host Ali Vitali gushed she’s “looked up to Mary for years, worked alongside her on the campaign trail and the White House,” and is thus “an exceptional journalist.” On Morning Joe, co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Jonathan Lemire suggested Trump’s criticisms of Bruce were un-American (click “expand”): SCARBOROUGH: Well, and — and Jon, Jon Lemire, I mean, let’s talk about when Mary Bruce ABC asks a question that that feeds off of what Trump’s own CIA concluded in his first term that Khashoggi was chopped up, tortured and chopped up at the knowledge or direction of the guy that he was praising yesterday. Now, listen, if you want to say we work with very bad people and it’s time to move on. People have made that calculation. They just have. Maybe people don’t like that that calculation has been made. But to attack a lawyer [sic] and tell her, now get this, get this, get this, he’s sitting next to a man who was responsible for the sawing up of a reporter, and then he calls an ABC News supporter — a reporter insubordinate. Think about that. LEMIRE: There was a time when the American president, whoever it was, no matter which party, would try to be an example for the rest of the world in terms of human rights, in terms of freedom of the press. And that is something that this President has never been interested in doing. He’s cozying up to power authoritarians and the like. And yesterday, his response to that ABC reporter was, as noted, things happen. A bonesaw happened. That’s what happened to Jamal Khashoggi. He was chopped up with a bone saw at — at least the knowledge and perhaps at the instruction of the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. He then went the — Trump the President went on to say, there’s some people who didn’t like Jamal Khashoggi, sort of, sort of suggested that maybe he had it coming, that some people disagreed with him. And this is and then to set him at another opulent state dinner in all but name last night, described as the glitziest event that he has thrown for any leader so far this year, the most lavish event the white House has held so far this year. We’re seeing images of it now was last night in — in the honor of, of MBS, you know, a problematic ally, to say the least. And we have, again, this President using a moment with the eyes of the world on him to side to — to — to turn away from what would be considered traditional values of the office. CNN wasn’t going to let MS NOW have all the fun. Moments after Trump’s takedown, News Central co-host Brianna Keilar called Bruce “a fine reporter” with “a lot of experience” and “is very well respected.” The Lead host Jake Tapper — whom Bruce used to work for as a producer when Tapper was at ABC — stated on his show Bruce “is a nice person and a good reporter.” Former conservative reporter-turned-CNN liberal Kaitlan Collins complained on her show The Source: I think a jarring moment was when the reporter was asking about [Saudi Arabia]. They weren’t actually asking President Trump for his view. They were asking MBS, saying that there’s a lot of Americans who are upset that he’s inside the Oval Office today. It’s the first time he’s been back, since Jamal Khashoggi was killed. Obviously, after 9/11 as well, a lot of families and victims there that are — that are upset by his presence inside the Oval Office today and so, for the President to lash out at the reporter, Mary Bruce, who’s a great reporter from ABC News, saying, We’re going to threaten your license, your broadcasting license, over this, while sitting next to an authoritarian leader who the CIA says, ordered the killing of a reporter. CNN NewsNight host Abby Phillip also gave her two cents: “Of course, Mary Bruce is a very good reporter and that answer from Trump, it’s very reminiscent, Scott Jennings, of a lot of other moments of pressure for this president, where when he’s feeling the heat, he takes it out on the media and especially on female reporters[.]” Over on X, former Obama official-turned-CNN senior political commentator David Axelrod swooned that “[e]very journalist and lover of democracy owes a debt of gratitude to [Bruce] for having the guts and professionalism to ask questions...that absolutely cried out to be asked.” Resistance favorite Peter Baker of The New York Times played the role of comical suck-up: “It may be repeating the obvious, but [Bruce] is a first-rate reporter. In the face of a presidential tirade aimed at silencing her, she calmly and professionally showed why a free, independent media remains essential, asking questions that powerful people don't want to answer.”

When CNN actually decides to give President Donald Trump an inch on anything positive about the economy, it’s the equivalent of a seismic earthquake rippling through the entire media landscape. CNN Business Executive Editor and anti-Trump pseudo journalist David Goldman probably had a bit of indigestion when he ran a November 17 story headlined: “Trump is right: He lowered some of your costs.” Of course, the headline also insisted: “But he also made many prices higher.” At least it's half-positive -- a shock coming from CNN. After the Bidenomics-loving Goldman regurgitated his hypocritical rebuke of Trump for allegedly “downplaying America’s affordability crisis,” he proceeded to argue that “Trump’s policies, perhaps more than any president’s in recent memory, have directly influenced the prices on thousands of consumer goods – both lower and higher.”  Remember that this is the same guy who ran this insane headline just before the presidential election October 24, 2024 to prop up Biden: “America won the war on inflation. You still think the economy stinks.” Goldman tried to reprimand those plebeians who were still reeling from the disaster wrought on them by former President Joe Biden’s outrageous stimulus agenda: “Inflation has been tamed. Consumers are spending like crazy. Companies have more jobs available than job seekers to fill them. What more could you want, America?” “Downplaying America’s affordability crisis” Goldman? Don’t make us laugh. In his new piece, Goldman pointed to Trump’s policies that have lowered the prices of drugs, oil and even eggs. NewsBusters raked Goldman over the coals in May for publishing a story on falling egg prices that reeked of oxymoronic logic: “Trump’s egg price fiction has suddenly become reality.” This was the equivalent of saying, “Yeah, so the lies Trump told eventually turned out to be kind of true but he was still lying.”  On oil, Goldman tried to downplay Trump’s deregulatory agenda while still sort of giving him props for putting pressure on OPEC to lower prices: “Trump dismantled many oil drilling regulations that he claimed would expand US oil production – but, so far at least, that hasn’t made any meaningful difference.” Interesting, given that Politico published a story October 9 headlined, “How long will Trump’s oil boom last?” Politico admitted then that “Production is at record levels but that might change.” This begs the question: Would oil production be at the same “record levels” with the Biden-era regulations in place or not? Goldman doesn’t answer this question. But of course, Goldman pivoted to attacking Trump’s reshuffling of the global trade deck as the main culprit behind other sectors' price increases, and even rehashed the same ridiculous argument that Trump made cuts to Medicaid. “By far the largest price increase on consumers that Trump has imposed came in the form of his sweeping tariffs on virtually every foreign country’s goods,” Goldman whined. But here’s the inconvenient truth: tariffs have been shown to have little to zero impact on America’s inflation rates, while many on the left prophesied economic doom by this point. As Heartland Institute Vice president Justin Haskins wrote in a November 19 Hill op-ed, government data give a drastically different picture on the tariff issue: [E]conomic data from government agencies and reports tell a very different story: So far, Trump’s tariffs are not driving inflation. In fact, some goods that are affected by tariffs have actually become more affordable. That doesn’t mean tariffs won’t cause higher prices in the months or years ahead. But right now, that’s not what’s happening. Goldman even admits the “calculation” for showing tariffs’ impact was “tricky,” which doesn’t lend itself well to a comfortable level of reliability, at all. Goldman was one of the media hacks who was prophesying doom because of Trump’s tariffs as early as August, when he argued based on unnamed economists that they would “damage the global economy and take America’s standing in the world down a peg.”  Haskins further noted that “If tariffs were causing inflation, it would also be reasonable to expect gasoline prices to rise. But that isn’t happening either. Thus far in November, gas prices nationwide have been hovering around $3.10, about the same as last year.” Goldman also lambasted Trump’s supposed “Historic cuts to America’s safety net programs, including Medicaid and food stamps,” which he argued would raise prices for “the country's neediest.” But as “conservative health policy experts” retorted to Fox News Digital November 14, “Republican changes have done nothing to harm those whom Medicaid was originally intended for — people not expected to be in the labor market, such as individuals with disabilities, pregnant women, children and seniors.” In addition, reported Fox, the experts “argue the Medicaid reforms built into Trump's tax cuts have actually improved the federal healthcare program for those it is supposed to be serving.” Context matters, eh Goldman?

A Texas Department of Public Safety trooper was relieved of his game-day duties after having a run-in with South Carolina player Nyck Harbor during Saturday’s game against Texas A&M.“This kid scores a touchdown, maybe pulls his hamstring, keeps jogging up into the tunnel. And when he and a teammate are returning, this Texas state trooper, who’s there for security purposes, I’m sure, who I’m sure is a huge Texas A&M fan, and Texas A&M’s getting the doors blown off of them,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock explains.“They’re down 27 to 3 at this point, late in the second quarter, and he walks through in between these two players and … gets into some elbow-to-elbow contact or whatever and points at them, and the kids, they’re excited. They turn their head briefly and then keep it moving,” he continues.“It’s a horrible look for the state trooper. I think they had every right to pull him from the game and say, ‘Hey, man, what are you doing? Go home,’” he adds.However, that is not what happened.Rather, the state trooper is now being used as an example of police brutality.“What happened at the Texas A&M South Carolina football game is unacceptable. For an officer who was there to protect everyone in the stadium to walk toward those young players with that level of aggression, that level of intention, that level of purpose,” ESPN analyst Ryan Clark said on "The Pivot Podcast."“And now, if you are these young men’s parents, this is worst-case scenario for you. This is something you’ve coached your kids through. You’ve told them how to behave. You told them what to say. You’ve told them how to look. And you’ve told them all these things just to stay alive,” he continued.BlazeTV contributor T.J. Moe isn’t having it.“This is what you do when there is a shortage of racism. You create your own. Obviously, when there’s a shortage of police brutality, you have to extrapolate out a police officer on national television brushing up against some players and say, ‘Just imagine what he does when he’s not on camera,’” Moe says.“At any point in time, Ryan gets a chance to cry about a white man looking negatively towards a black man, it helps him in a lot of ways,” he adds.Want more from Jason Whitlock?To enjoy more fearless conversations at the crossroads of culture, faith, sports, and comedy with Jason Whitlock, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
