MSNBC’s Joy Reid pulled out the head in the sand strategy for Monday’s edition of The ReidOut when discussing anti-Semitism being prevalent at Columbia University. During an interview with Rev. Mark Thompson and Maryam Alwan of Columbia’s chapter of Students for Justine in Palestine‚ Reid claimed she simply “didn’t hear it.” Addressing Thompson‚ Reid claimed that things at Columbia are fine‚ “I saw‚ Mark‚ these students singing and singing about peace and singing salaam‚ singing words of peace. So‚ it just didn't square with what I was even hearing on television and television commentators saying was shrieking anti-Semitism‚ I didn't hear it.”     Perhaps Reid wasn’t looking because a rabbi has advised Jewish students to avoid campus and return home. As for Thompson‚ whose MSNBC chyron labels him as a “social justice activist‚” he also wanted to act as if the majority of demonstrators are simply peace activists‚ “No‚ I was there yesterday‚ and it was very peaceful and very moving. The-- one of the institutions affiliated with Columbia‚ of course‚ is Union Theological Seminary and the Union students held a Sunday worship service and served communion there on campus‚ even to those beyond the gates who couldn't get in. So‚ this betrays the imagery of there being violent rhetoric spewed.” Thompson conceded that “I do have a colleague whose daughter is a freshman at Barnard and she has faced some harassment‚ but as Maryam said‚ these are outliers and in the movement‚ we’ve always had –” Reid interrupted to add‚ “It happened at Black Lives Matter rallies‚” as Thompson continued‚ “So‚ that’s—but‚ in general‚ it’s not a good idea to generalize what is going on. These are peaceful and non-violent demonstrations.” Meanwhile‚ Reid generalizes about people all the time. Almost every show is the same: conservatives are racists‚ sexists‚ religious weirdos‚ and Trump cultists. She does not get to claim that those who want Hamas to survive to possibly commit another October 7 get to disassociate themselves with Hamas supporters who hold signs reading “Al-Qasam's Next Targets” while pointing to Jewish counter-protestors or over 100 professors who want to “recontextualize” October 7 and frame it as a “military response.” Turning her attention to Alwan‚ Reid wondered‚ “What do you make of leaders of your school seeming‚ I guess‚ to appease maybe members of Congress that have been all over your president and want her to resign‚ calling the NYPD on you all&;#63;” Naturally‚ Alwan decided to portray herself as the victim‚ “It feels like it's been a McCarthyite campaign to try to equate our peaceful protest‚ calling them to divest from violence‚ and they are calling us violent instead. It was horrifying to be carried out in zip ties when we were just‚ you know‚ peacefully calling for an end to the violence.” Reid‚ claimed she didn’t see any anti-Semitism at Columbia‚ yet by referencing BDS‚ Alwan proved it was right there at her desk. Here is a transcript for the April 22 show: MSNBC The ReidOut 4/22/2024 7:50 PM ET JOY REID: I saw‚ Mark‚ these students singing and singing about peace and singing salaam‚ singing words of peace. So‚ it just didn't square with what I was even hearing on television and television commentators saying was shrieking anti-Semitism‚ I didn't hear it. MARK THOMPSON: No‚ I was there yesterday‚ and it was very peaceful and very moving. The-- one of the institutions affiliated with Columbia‚ of course‚ is Union Theological Seminary and the Union students held a Sunday worship service and served communion there on campus‚ even to those beyond the gates who couldn't get in. So‚ this betrays the imagery of there being violent rhetoric spewed. I will say this‚ I do have a colleague whose daughter is a freshman at Barnard and she has faced some harassment‚ but as Maryam said‚ these are outliers and in the movement‚ we’ve always had – REID: It happened at Black Lives Matter rallies. THOMPSON: You’ve got provocateurs.  REID: Yeah. THOMPSON: So‚ that’s—but‚ in general‚ it’s not a good idea to generalize what is going on. These are peaceful and non-violent demonstrations. REID: Let me‚ what do you make of leaders of your school seeming‚ I guess‚ to appease maybe members of Congress that have been all over your president and want her to resign‚ calling the NYPD on you all&;#63; MARYAM ALWAN: It feels like it's been a McCarthyite campaign to try to equate our peaceful protest‚ calling them to divest from violence‚ and they are calling us violent instead. It was horrifying to be carried out in zip ties when we were just‚ you know‚ peacefully calling for an end to the violence.

If Facebook‚ the company‚ had a personal Facebook profile‚ its “relationship status” with free speech would say‚ “It’s complicated.” The platform‚ however‚ has consistently courted election interference efforts. MRC Free Speech America researchers compiled 39 times Facebook was caught interfering in U.S. elections since 2008. The platform’s record of election-interfering censorship began in 2012‚ reached a crescendo in 2020 and has begun fading somewhat in the early stages of the 2024 electoral cycle. All the while‚ Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly made pro-free speech comments including during his famous 2019 speech at Georgetown University. “We can either continue to stand for free expression understanding its messiness but believing that the long journey towards greater progress requires confronting ideas that challenge us. Or we can decide that the cost is simply too great‚” said Zuckerberg. “I'm here today because I believe that we must continue to stand for free expression.” He has similarly called politically-motivated censorship “dangerous” and said that Facebook and other social media platforms should not be acting as the “arbiter of truth.” And yet‚ from 2012 through 2024‚ Facebook has vacillated between a hands-off approach to free speech online and repeated election interference through policy changes and outright censorship of political candidates and ideas. Below are some of the highlights of MRC’s findings. In 2012‚ Facebook suspended a Veteran PAC for a meme drawing attention to the attack on Benghazi. Just over a week before the 2012 presidential election‚ Facebook suspended the account of Special Operations Speaks‚ a veteran-led PAC. The group had posted a meme reminding its followers that Navy SEALs were denied backup during the tragic terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi‚ Libya. The meme showed pictures of then-President Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden along with the words “Obama called on the SEALs and THEY got bin Laden. When the SEALs called on Obama THEY GOT DENIED‚” Breitbart News reported. Facebook removed the post‚ which it claimed “violate[d] Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities‚” according to screenshots Breitbart News included in its reporting. The page administrator proceeded to repost the meme‚ which was subsequently also removed. After Breitbart News ran the story‚ then-Facebook Manager Andrew Noyes responded to the accusation denying all fault. “I assure you that removing the image was not an act of censorship on our part. This was an error and we apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused‚” he reportedly wrote.  In 2016‚ Facebook censored then-Democratic Party candidate for president Bernie Sanders and “conservative topics” and news. Facebook used to have a trending section on its website that included trending news manually curated by contractors. Several of the curators who worked for Facebook in 2014 and 2015 told Gizmodo the articles that appeared in Facebook’s Trending News section often depended on the biases of the curator and what Facebook wanted to be trending at the time. “Depending on who was on shift‚ things would be blacklisted or trending‚” a former curator who asked to remain anonymous said. “I’d come on shift and I’d discover that CPAC or Mitt Romney or Glenn Beck or popular conservative topics wouldn’t be trending because either the curator didn’t recognize the news topic or it was like they had a bias against Ted Cruz.” Stories about then-presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) were also reportedly excluded. Facebook’s anti-spam algorithm also flagged many different Facebook groups‚ including six groups created for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) supporters‚ in the Democratic Party primary race against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.  In 2018‚ Facebook censored multiple candidates for Congress and state legislatures. Facebook removed ads for Sen. (then-Rep.) Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)‚ Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) and Michigan state Senate Republican candidate Aric Nesbitt. The platform additionally censored an ad promoting border security paid for by then-President Donald Trump. Similarly‚ the platform reportedly removed a video promoting an AR-15 giveaway that Senate candidate Austin Petersen (R-MO) was conducting on his own website. In 2020‚ censorship on Facebook exploded.  The platform censored posts and ads from then-sitting President Donald Trump at least four times and took down seven political ads paid for by the political right. One of these ad campaigns Facebook killed just over a month before the election. The ad reportedly pointed out the incongruence between Democrats’ open borders and COVID-19 lockdown policies. The Washington Post reported at the time‚ “There were more than 30 versions of the ad running on the social network‚ according to Facebook’s ad transparency library. It had gathered between 200‚000 and 250‚000 impressions.” Other candidates impacted by censorship included Rep. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)‚ Florida candidate and activist Laura Loomer (R) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).  2020 election interference came to a head‚ however‚ when the platform censored the New York Post’s bombshell Hunter Biden report documenting the Biden family’s financial scandals and then ultimately placed an indefinite suspension on then-sitting President Trump’s accounts shortly into 2021. In 2022‚ Facebook censored multiple gubernatorial candidates and candidates for U.S. Congress. The platform censored Rep. (then candidate) Rich McCormick (R-GA)‚ Virginia GOP congressional candidate Jarome Bell‚ Tennessee GOP congressional candidate Robby Starbuck‚ and Missouri GOP U.S. Senate candidate Eric Greitens. In McCormick’s case‚ the congressman made an ad criticizing President Joe Biden’s “disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.” Facebook removed the ad for violating its “'Disruptive Content' policy‚&;quot; McCormick wrote in a Facebook post. The platform similarly censored Arizona‚ Alabama and Texas Republican gubernatorial candidates Kari Lake‚ Governor Kay Ivey and Chad Prather respectively. In the case of Lake‚ she said her Instagram account was restricted for 24 hours after “posting photos of Arizona and Arizonans.” In 2024‚ Facebook and Instagram are limiting users’ access to political content. Meta already began limiting its distribution of political content in 2022 but has continued to lean into that in the lead-up to the 2024 election. In February‚ Meta announced that Instagram and Threads (a new social media platform owned by Meta) will no longer recommend political content by default‚ but users can opt in to having such content promoted to them. “If you decide to follow accounts that post political content‚ we don’t want to get between you and their posts‚ but we also don’t want to proactively recommend political content from accounts you don’t follow‚” Instagram wrote in a blog. “So we’re extending our existing approach to how we treat political content – we won’t proactively recommend content about politics on recommendation surfaces across Instagram and Threads.” Although the move sounds harmless‚ it makes it more difficult for those who produce political content to grow their page and for more viewers to decide for themselves whether or not they want to follow that content. The platform has also censored GOP presidential candidate Larry Elder‚ Democrat-turned-Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy‚ Jr. and Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein.   Recommendations House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) should direct relevant committees and committee chairmen to investigate Facebook for interfering in elections. State legislatures should ensure that Big Tech cannot engage in viewpoint discrimination. State attorneys general and state secretaries of state should take appropriate action to enforce state election laws as it relates to Facebook’s election interference.  In the spirit of openness and transparency‚ Facebook should establish a bipartisan‚ blue-ribbon commission to address the election interference and censorship issues outlined in this report.   You can read the full study here.  

Leftist Google displayed its search engine bias yet again on “Earth Day” with a specialized logo and promotion of climate alarmist propaganda. Users going to Google’s search engine on April 22 noticed a doodle specially designed for Earth Day. Clicking on the doodle brought up biased information on alleged “climate change progress” and “climate justice.” This aligns with Google’s previous history of censoring content that doesn’t support a climate hysteria narrative. Below the sponsored sites Google provides‚ the tech giant proudly explains its doodle. “Happy Earth Day 2024&;#33; Today's annual Earth Day Doodle features the planet's natural beauty and biodiversity and reminds us of the importance of protecting it for future generations‚” Google enthused. Google then promoted outlets and organizations including left-leaning USA Today‚ Wikipedia and the anti-free speech United Nations. MRC Free Speech America researchers found the top‚ sponsored search result in this Google search engine Earth Day tribute to be from Global Human Rights on “Climate justice definition.” The organization insanely claimed “Climate change is an existential threat to humanity” and “a leading cause of human rights violations.” You May Also Like: CNN Virtue Signals to Save Planet by Releasing Hysterical Letter: ‘To My Son‚ Born in the Climate Crisis’ Google has censored content in the past to enforce this leftist narrative on climate. For instance‚ in 2021‚ Google and its YouTube video platform banned advertising on so-called climate “misinformation.”  YouTube has also censored and fact-checked climate content‚ including putting context labels on 2024 GOP and Democrat presidential candidates’ videos‚ particularly Vivek Ramaswamy. Junk Science’s Steve Milloy highlighted the hypocrisy of such climate virtue-signaling on Earth Day‚ “The green agenda has focused on total control of society through the climate hoax and not at all about the environment we live in.” Conservatives are under attack.

Freight trains carrying hazardous materials routinely barrel through the Canadian city of London‚ Ontario. They are typically not engulfed in flames and trailing massive columns of thick smoke. However‚ the city witnessed one such glowing aberration Sunday night. According to the London Fire Department‚ old wooden railway ties inside five train cars caught fire‚ transforming a Canadian Pacific Kansas City Railway train into a rolling inferno. Officials indicated they will &;quot;treat everything as arson until proven otherwise.&;quot; Several onlookers captured video of the CPKCR train blaze past homes‚ trees‚ and other potential kindling. Same friend was also there a few blocks later when the train stopped \n\nAnother angle: \n#ldnont — (@) None — (@) The train was ultimately brought to a stop around 10:49 p.m. in a residential area near Richmond Street and Pall Mall Street. Officials urged nearby residents to remain indoors and to shut their windows over fears of smoke inhalation while multiple fire crews worked diligently to extinguish the flames. It took fire crews and Canadian Pacific Railway personnel roughly two hours to bring the fire under control. Fire crews working with CPR personnel to bring fire under control. Fire crews are in defensive attack. #ldnont ^cs — (@) The torched train section was taken to a rail yard where firefighters could put out the remaining smoldering material. The LFD lauded the &;quot;excellent job by fire crews to contain this fire‚&;quot; adding‚ &;quot;It was a very efficient knockdown of a large fire and great work by CPR train crew who disconnected cars.&;quot; While officials indicated there were no &;quot;dangerous goods&;quot; inside the affected train cars‚ state media confirmed the train was nevertheless pulling hazardous materials. LFD Chief Colin Shewell indicated that the hazmat cars were successfully separated and moved away from the fires. LFD noted on X that &;quot;thanks to multiple 911 callers that advised our Communication Operations of an eastbound train on fire going over Oxford St. [w]e were able to get on scene &; contain the fire in the downtown area very quickly with limited damage and no injuries.&;quot; The damage did an estimated $25‚000 in damage to the rail cars and $10‚00 to a nearby building. &;quot;The incident remains under investigation. We thank the London first responders for their effective response to the fire last night.&;quot; CPKCR spokesman Terry Cunha said in a statement. Malcolm Cairns‚ a former CPR worker‚ told state media‚ &;quot;The Transportation Safety Board [TSB] will have their review of this incident and they will go into great depth‚ taking witness statements and looking at all the evidence‚ and eventually you'll know what caused it and whether the rules were obeyed.&;quot; &;quot;We will treat everything as arson until proven otherwise‚&;quot; said LFD Chief Shewell. &;quot;These were scrap railway ties‚ so there's really no dollar value on them. They were actually destined to be destroyed.&;quot; The Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs shared the following unanswered questions: &;quot;When did the train crew notice the fire on board and why didn't they call 911&;#63;&;quot; &;quot;Why did the train stop where it did‚ in the middle of a residential neighborhood just west of a shunting yard&;#63;&;quot; &;quot;How did the railway ties‚ coated in flammable wood preservative creosote‚ catch fire&;#63;&;quot; &;quot;Did the fire spread from one car to the others‚ or did all five catch fire at once&;#63;&;quot; Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

Taylor Swift explained that she feels the music industry disparages women and teaches them they are just replacements for different women who did something great before they did.Swift's album &;quot;The Tortured Poets Department&;quot; featured a lengthy explainer for her songs that allowed fans to discover the meaning behind her lyrics‚ which are typically thought to be about her ex-boyfriends.For the song &;quot;Clara Bow‚&;quot; Swift explained that it was a &;quot;commentary on what [she's] seen in the industry that [she's] been in over time.&;quot;The 34-year-old recalled her experiences as a child‚ when music industry representatives were &;quot;disparaging&;quot; other women while complimenting her talents.&;quot;I used to sit in record labels trying to get a record deal when I was a little kid. And they'd say‚ 'you know‚ you remind us of' and then they'd name an artist‚ and then they'd kind of say something disparaging about her‚ 'but you're this‚ you're so much better in this way or that way.' And that's how we teach women to see themselves‚&;quot; Swift said‚ according to Variety.The singer added that she felt she was being told she &;quot;could be the new replacement for this woman who’s done something great before you.&;quot;&;quot;I picked women who have done great things in the past and have been these archetypes of greatness in the entertainment industry. Clara Bow was the first 'it girl.' Stevie Nicks is an icon and an incredible example for anyone who wants to write songs and make music.&;quot;The women she picked as examples in the song were indeed Clara Bow‚ Stevie Nicks‚ and herself.Bow was a silent film star in the 1920s‚ once receiving more than 45‚000 fan letters in a single month. She was allegedly raped by her father and nearly murdered by her mother‚ her biographer claimed‚ and was engaged to five men in just four years.Nicks was‚ of course‚ the singer of iconic band Fleetwood Mac.&;quot;You look like Taylor Swift in this light‚ we're lovin' it. You've got edge‚ she never did. The future's bright‚ dazzling‚&;quot; the lyrics read‚ alluding to the idea that Swift would one day be another replaced woman.Another song called &;quot;Florida&;#33;&;#33;&;#33;&;quot; Swift explained‚ was inspired by watching &;quot;Dateline.&;quot;&;quot;People have these crimes that they commit; where do they immediately skip town and go to&;#63; They go to Florida‚&;quot; she added. &;quot;I think when you go through a heartbreak‚ there's a part of you that thinks‚ 'I want a new name. I want a new life. I don't want anyone to know where I've been or know me at all.' And so that was the jumping off point. Where would you go to reinvent yourself and blend in&;#63; Florida&;#33;&;quot;A song titled &;quot;thanK you aIMee‚&;quot; which allegedly is meant to spell out &;quot;KIM‚&;quot; is suspected to be a shot at Kim Kardashian‚ who the singer has had a feud with.The unspecified person in the song is described as abully who is a &;quot;bronze spray-tanned statue.&;quot;Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

The New York Police Department arrested more than 150 pro-Hamas protesters at New York University on Monday evening amid a wave of volatile demonstrations taking over university campuses.Many of the detained anti-Israel protesters were students and faculty who had set up an encampment on the NYU campus. According to the school’s newspaper‚ Washington Square News‚ the pop-up campsite was formed by the NYU Palestine Solidarity Coalition‚ which consists of more than 20 on-campus groups.The protesters demanded that the university divest from entities with ties to Israel and shut down its Tel Aviv site. Similar encampments have sprouted up at a number of universities across the country‚ including Columbia University‚ MIT‚ Yale‚ and the University of Michigan.Fountain Walker‚ NYU’s head of campus safety‚ warned protesters that they would “face consequences” if they failed to leave the area by 4 p.m.‚ according to Washington Square News.“With the breach of the barricades early this afternoon‚ that requirement was violated‚ and we witnessed disorderly‚ disruptive‚ and antagonizing behavior that has interfered with the safety and security of our community‚” Walker told the crowd. “If you leave now‚ no one will face any consequences for today’s actions — no discipline‚ no police.”Despite the warning‚ the demonstration continued to grow‚ with activists outside campus arriving to support those inside the encampment.Around 8:30 p.m. on Monday‚ NYPD officers in riot gear instructed the protesters to disperse‚ warning that they would be arrested for trespassing if they refused. Police then began handcuffing demonstrators with zip ties. The remaining protesters responded to the arrests by forming a circle around the encampment and linking arms.A video captured by a reporter with the City showed faculty and students creating a human barrier between police and the rest of the protesters. While students pray at one end of the plaza police enter through back entrance LRAD plays while line of faculty hold a line. — (@) Other videos shared on social media showed rowdy and disorderly protesters hurling chairs and other objects at NYPD officers. Bottles and chairs thrown as NYPD Clears the NYU occupation encampment 'Liberated Zone'‚ making mass arrests.\n\nFULL STORY: https://t.co/ogESGvZcpK\n\nVideo by @yyeeaahhhboiii2 Desk@freedomnews.tv to license — (@) By approximately 9:30 p.m. all of the demonstrators had dispersed or been arrested‚ Washington Square News reported. It noted that NYPD began releasing the detained students and faculty in groups of two to five around 3:50 a.m.NYU spokesperson John Beckman said‚ “We witnessed disorderly‚ disruptive‚ and antagonizing behavior that has interfered with the safety and security of our community‚ and that demonstrated how quickly a demonstration can get out of control or people can get hurt.”“We also learned that there were intimidating chants and several anti-Semitic incidents reported‚” Beckman continued. “Given the foregoing and the safety issues raised by the breach‚ we asked for assistance from the NYPD. The police urged those on the plaza to leave peacefully but ultimately made a number of arrests.”Some remaining protesters who were not arrested by authorities marched toward NYPD headquarters carrying flares late Monday evening.Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

Billionaire Robert Kraft‚ owner of the New England Patriots‚ is putting his money where his mouth is.Columbia University has become ground zero for anti-Semitism after students began occupying a spot on the campus now called the &;quot;Gaza Solidarity Encampment.&;quot;Last Thursday‚ university administrators allowed police officers to arrest more than 100 students‚ which only emboldened the anti-Israel protesters. Now‚ Columbia faculty members are walking out in solidarity with the protesters‚ and students at other schools‚ including Yale and New York University‚ are protesting. The protests are threatening the safety of Jewish students. One Jewish student at Yale was even stabbed in the eye.On Monday‚ Kraft said he will stop supporting Columbia because of the protests.&;quot;I am deeply saddened at the virulent hate that continues to grow on campus and throughout our country‚&;quot; said Kraft‚ a Columbia alumnus and longtime donor. &;quot;I am no longer confident that Columbia can protect its student and staff and I am not comfortable supporting the university until collective action is taken‚&;quot; he added. &;quot;It is my hope that Columbia and its leadership will stand up to this hate by ending these protests immediately and will work to earn back the respect and trust of the many of us who have lost faith in the institution.&;quot;Kraft is an observant Orthodox Jew and has donated tens of millions of dollars to Columbia University. The school even named the Jewish student center after him.Ultimately‚ Kraft's decision to stop supporting Columbia University will not impact the school‚ whose endowment is more than $13 billion. But the growing phenomenon of wealthy donors pulling their financial support from universities is an interesting development in higher education‚ especially considering academia has almost universally embraced progressivism and a leftist worldview.&;quot;Our profession may be on a suicide mission‚&;quot; said University of Pennsylvania scholar-in-residence Brian Rosenwald on Monday. &;quot;It's like a game of how can we alienate everyone but the far left despite having an exceptionally expensive product that needs broad buy in. I can only shake my head‚&;quot; he observed.Essentially‚ American academia is biting the hand that feeds it‚ which‚ if gone unchecked‚ will threaten its livelihood and comfortable existence.Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

Jason Whitlock has never been shy about his feelings regarding former LSU forward Angel Reese‚ who was just drafted to the Chicago Sky last week. In short‚ he’s not a fan. Reese’s taunting of Caitlin Clark – a white‚ heterosexual player who also happens to be a record-smashing superstar and the number-one WNBA draft pick – and the idea that Reese is “arguably the most overrated athlete of [his] lifetime‚” has soured Jason toward the “Bayou Barbie.” However‚ on Monday night‚ Reese posted a tweet that may have Jason reevaluating the athlete. The tweet comes just days after Biden’s amendments to Title IX rules‚ which will grant more protections to LGBTQ+ students‚ including prohibiting discrimination on the basis of “gender identity.” The revisions have massive implications for female athletes. Not only has Reese “made it cool to lean into the feminine‚ sexy side of being an athlete‚” but now she’s perhaps becoming “a baby Riley Gaines‚” says Jason. While Delano Squires echoes Jason’s sentiments‚ he’s far more skeptical. “Is she prepared to stand her ground ten toes down‚ all 6 '4&;quot; and say‚ ‘I'm a woman‚ I'm speaking up for women's sports‚ and that's what it's going to be’&;#63;” he asks. “Angel Reese is not going to back down here‚” Jason assures‚ adding that “she is a legitimate influencer‚ and playing this feminine role is going to make her relevant and more money.” But Squires doesn’t share Jason’s confidence in the Bayou Barbie. “I definitely would take the opposite side‚” he says. The number of “black people who are willing to stand in the public square taking positions that the culture completely disagrees with” while enduring “the scorn‚ the hatred‚ the name calling‚ the loss of opportunities ... is extremely small.” “[Reese] is going to have handlers; she’s going to have PR reps; she’s going to have media coaches ... she’s going to have all of the other women in the WNBA‚” he says‚ making it clear that he believes it’s only a matter of time before she caves to the woke mob.

With Staggs as mayor‚ Riverton complied with the county’s order to shut down playgrounds‚ pavilions‚ and skate parks.
