Naaaw, Not political one bit, Unless your name is Curt Schilling?

“ESPN is about sports.” It is “not a political organization.” That’s what ESPN president John Skipper said in a memo to staffers on Friday afternoon, after a bruising week for the sports network.

Skipper’s memo came in the wake of anchor Jemele Hill’s calling President Trump a “white supremacist” in a series of tweets on Monday that triggered days of news coverage, criticism, and a presidential broadside against the network.

“We have issues of significant debate in our country at this time,” Skipper acknowledged. Yes, he said, ESPN upholds certain values about tolerance and diversity. Yes, ESPN’s employees are also citizens who have opinions about politics. But the network has social media policies for good reasons, Skipper said, because personal comments “will reflect on ESPN.”

“In light of recent events,” he said, “we need to remind ourselves that we are a journalistic organization and that we should not do anything that undermines that position.”

These Clowns In Kalifornia oppose the very freedoms that give them themselves the right to oppose.

BERKELEY — In this cradle of the free speech movement, from the very campus where the First Amendment has been tested time and again, a new poll from UC Berkeley shows California voters are split over the delicate question of whether white nationalist groups should be allowed to demonstrate.

Forty-six percent of California voters say we’ve gone too far in allowing white nationalists to demonstrate while 43 percent say the rallies should not be restricted and 11 percent had no opinion.

And Democrats, especially, appear to be grappling with the complex issue in deep blue California.

In the wake of violent protests from Charlottesville to Berkeley, more than half, a full 53 percent of California’s Democratic voters, believe we have gone too far in allowing those demonstrations. Some 50 percent of California Republicans, meanwhile, believe the right to demonstrate should not be restricted, compared with 39 percent of Democrats.

From her 500 page manifesto of endless election loss excuses comes this bit of insight and the ‘Quote Of The Day’ as to her now INFAMOUS SERVER SCANDAL. And, another in a long list of reasons we are lucky the Bat-Sh!t Crazy Hillary Rotten Clinton is not sitting in the Oval Office.

It was a dumb mistake. But an even dumber “scandal.” It was like quicksand: the more you struggle, the deeper you sink. At times, I thought I must be going crazy. Other times, I was sure it was the world that had gone nuts. Sometimes I snapped at my staff. I was tempted to make voodoo dolls of certain members of the press and Congress and stick them full of pins. Mostly, I was furious at myself.

Goood Morning my fellow coffee-holics and lovers of the barley and hops. If you are one who finds themselves in the possible path of hurricane Irma, “What in the hell are you doing sitting there surfing the net wasting your time on my lil’ ole blog for?”

Looks like Irma, “That BIOTCH” has raised hell far beyond comprehension in the Caribbean yesterday and last evening. With total destruction and now 10 deaths in her wake it is looking more and more like she has Florida in her sights. Please take the proper precautions and keep yourselves and your family and friends safe. My thoughts and as always, prayers are with you all.

On the lighter side, it is funny to me that at my age and not having the opportunity to spend as much time with my Mother as I would like, her visit for the month now in its 7th day is nothing short of comforting, warm and long overdue. At 55, years old now I still appreciate my Mom’s Motherly Magic of making all my Boo Boo’s hurt less.
Thank You and, I Love You Mom!

To my neighbors to the south, heed the warnings, stay safe and see you on the other side. Love the ones your with.
