□ [“Minor League Baseball Players Refuse to Wear ‘Pride Night’ Jerseys - Team Officials Forfeit Game"]

Oh don't tease me.  This is the second time in a week that baseball players have defied the *woke* agenda being pushed for 'pride whatever.'  Just the fact that anybody's doing it is awesome.  But they're making a statement, quietly, not imposing their will on others, that they won't participate in this propaganda.  This will inspire more to do the same thing.

And what can the left do about it?  It's Baseball!  If you can't defend the rights of players to stand for their own beliefs, what kind of American are you?  And these aren't just random people, they're young, healthy male athletes.  The sort of people you automatically turn to when anything goes wrong, you really want to oppress them so publicly?  You just jealous that they get so much attention from the ladies?  This just isn't going to go well for the *woke.*

And the fat old men-in-charge caved in, cancelling the game.  They'll keep celebrating the 'pride whatever' tonight, there just won't be any baseball going on out in the field.  Because priorities!  I really hope this is going to keep building.  Hopefully we soon hear from more female athletes who are tired of being beaten by men.  As athletes, these people care far more about their sport than this stupid agenda and they've worked hard enough to be good at it.  They can apply that skill and determination elsewhere in life and those who push *woke* aren't going to get their hands on it.

Hopefully this will come in from elsewhere.  The players who wore bible verses instead of 'pride' logos are being protected by the Missouri Attorney-General who says if they get punished for this, MLB will be investigated for violating religious freedom.  How badly do you want to punish people for this?  And just as importantly, how many baseball fans are going to side with the elites against the players?

□ [“Iranian Singer Sentenced to Be Lashed 74 Times for Baring Shoulders in YouTube Video"]

So far I haven't looked into any more details about the Iran deal so I'm not aware of any up-side yet.  I've only seen a few comments on it, the best being that 'no one likes it' including Iranian leaders.  Maybe that will go somewhere.  But here's an example that might just be a bigger deal to Iranians, the ones who really matter in this deal.

This isn't a new case, her video was posted last December.  But the sentencing just happened because war with the US doesn't interfere with the legal system.  So they just got around to it.  Is there any part of this punishment that breaks the new deal?  They've had to announce it, the world sees what the crime was, Iranians are already opposed to this, any chance the government will pull back on this?  There was a brief moment several months ago when Iranian women were dressing like they used to, they obviously haven't forgotten it.

□ [“Trump Calls for Ceasefire on All Fronts – Blasts 'Fools' Attacking Him Over MOU"]

Then he's still doing this.  He does say "all fronts" but specifies Lebanon, Hezbollah and Israel.  It still makes no sense what anybody is doing there.  The closest I can get to a guess is that Trump is publicly criticizing Israel who just ignores him on this.  It looks like they're trying to show they aren't the loyal allies the two nations are always accused of being.  Ok, that makes sense but there's still no clue why they're doing it now or who they expect to believe them, assuming it's true.

Vance is speaking out on this too, at least he's sounding more rational and giving some detail.  I'm fine with Israel doing what it needs to do.  I would rather they get less financial and military support from the US but I wouldn't cut them off so that's not much of an argument.  I guess you could say that since Trump has united Israel with other Muslim nations, his administration is showing how you can support each other and still disagree.  So we're still waiting for anything good to come out of this deal.

□ [“FBI Swarms L.A.’s Skid Row in Voter Fraud Investigation - Homeless Paid to Register, Sign Multiple Ballots"]

I was expecting this after the recent LA mayor vote.  My guess is that, whether he was involved or not, the Republican candidate was loud and outgoing just to shake things up and give federal agents a better view of the fraud going on.  That's why the votes took so long to count, they have to keep going until only Democrats remain.

I don't get why they'd need to do this with the homeless though.  If you want fake votes, why not just do them yourself?  Even if, I dunno, the ballots have some chemical or microchip that helps identify fraud, how would the homeless be exempt from that?  You could just have a few friends who specifically don't vote so there's no record of them on legal ballots.  They fill out the ballots and spend a few hours driving around the city to put them in mailboxes.  There couldn't be a drone that tracks each ballot.  Seriously, why do you need the homeless?  Find some of your early-20s friends who bounce around couch-surfing.

Anyway, this could definitely lead somewhere, in LA, California and possibly elsewhere.  As much as possible these groups would have no connections to each other but someone still need to oversee this.  The homeless were getting paid, the money had to come from somewhere.  This is something you could start moving up the chain, looking for people who turn on the higher-ups to save themselves.  I think the administration is doing as much as possible to prevent Democrat fraud in the mid-terms.  Do not get cocky but otherwise I think that has a big chance of success.

□ [“Supergirl actress just killed her own movie"]

As always, can't guarantee a failure in advance but basically everybody is expecting this to bomb.  It really makes no sense why the movie studios keep sending these people out.  She's out promoting Supergirl as a 'gay icon.'  Advance tickets are now for sale and they aren't doing well, this will just make it worse.  The movie is already expected to not do as well on debut week as the latest Toy Story movie which will be on its second week.  Appealing to customers is a much better way to go but these people universally go the other way.

This is only the second movie in the latest DC reboot and they're trying as hard as possible to make it worse than the 1984 Supergirl movie.  The previous reboot did well for a while but then they announced this one when several movies were getting ready for release so there was no reason for anyone to see them.  It's just mind-boggling how much time and money Warner Bros. is wasting on these failures and here they are doubling-down on it but putting this chick out there.

We watch this going on across the studios and the franchises leaving nothing but rubble.  If it was a deliberate attempt to destroy these massive franchises, what would they be doing differently?  That's what gets me, there's been way too much failure to just assume they'll think up another way bring back the audience.  The older generations were driven away and the younger ones aren't all that interested in what old people like.  To the extent there is any interest, it's all based on the material back when it was good which was a long time ago.
