🤣NYPD OFFICER GOES OFF ABOUT HIS NEW TACTICAL TRAINING!!!🤣THIS IS A MUST WATCH...AND PLEASE SHARE!!!🖤💙🖤 pic.twitter.com/4SBMkSkHV8 — 🌻Destiny, RN, BSN🌻 (@Destiny3650) July 11, 2020 Legitimate protests have continued for months in Louisville and around the world. Conscientious people have been calling attention to police killings of citizens, many of whom are African Americans. Good for the protesters for keeping alive the names of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, and so many other victims of police misconduct or miscalculation. The Black Lives Matter movement is the most important cultural voice in 2020. 99% of the violence in America has nothing to do with police. 16 people were just shot a funeral home in your city. It isn't the feds that are terrorizing your residents.

Tonight, as protesters attempted to stop @LMPD from towing a car, a woman threw water at one officer. The officer quickly grabbed her, pushed her to the ground and arrested her. People in the crowd say the officer says she threw a punch. Here’s the video. pic.twitter.com/fMCjxM4qXY — Bailey Loosemore (@bloosemore) July 8, 2020 Courier Journal reporter Bailey Loosemore was embedded with Louisville protesters as they swarmed LMPD officers. The police were having a car removed from a no parking zone near the protest site that has seen one murder and multiple battles with police over the past two months. The reporter's caption is more supportive of the protester claims. First, the type of liquid is unknown. In prior protests, police have had urine and

You want truth?.. @DrRickyLJones @terrymeiners https://t.co/NkPXckFbXp — Terry (@cardinalterry42) July 7, 2020 THREAD: On @CNNTonight, Terry Crews explained to host @donlemon why he was rightly critical of the Black Lives Matter organization. "It was almost a supremist move where they viewed that their black lives mattered a lot more than mine." But lemon got combative real quick pic.twitter.com/TkgfU5ZAxu — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) July 7, 2020 Abraham Lincoln once asked an audience how many legs a dog has if you count the tail as a leg. When they answered “five,” Lincoln told them that the answer was four. The fact that you called the tail a leg did not make it a leg. — Thomas Sowell (@ThomasSowell) July 7, 2020 Two men. One Black.

Death by a thousand edit cuts
Activist journalism is killing what our information disseminating forebears spent hundreds of years building. Thanks, partisan jackasses. Journalism today. https://t.co/46dQvCprtl— Byron York (@ByronYork) July 4, 2020 Also, the English language is under siege. Yep. English is literally dead. https://t.co/hGVXeSNDV7— Merriam-Webster (@MerriamWebster) July 1, 2020 As I see @WKUBasketball call out @KentuckyMBB I’m wondering why them two along with @LouisvilleMBB and @RacersHoops don’t play a Big Four Classic every year. Would think that would make money in this state. Am I wrong?— Kendrick HaskinsWave (@KendrickHaskins) July 7, 2020 Those two, Kendrick. Those two. Are there no editors in today's world? Have we completely surrendered to cost cutting management? Yes. Here's a promising story. The BLUE ANGELS are here! Happy 4th of July, America!

As a Catholic, I found this incredible scene from The Sopranos completely spot on. In the 1970s and 80s, our family home was a regular stop for various priests and other religious leaders looking for a meal or adult beverages. The Sopranos scene above is an uncomfortable reality showing the freeloading priest Father Phil being called out by Carmela for manipulating "spiritually thirsty" women. The Catholic church limits women to roles lesser than priests and therefore keeps them locked in a spiritually thirsting state. Bravo to the script writers for a searing look at reality. Now enjoy more treats from the brilliant Sopranos series, one of the greatest stories in American television history.
Matt Damon can’t pronounce Louisville
Matt Damon can't commit to a sensible pronunciation of Louisville. On 30 Rock, no one on the production team reshot this scene where Damon says LOO-uh-ville. Hillbillies say LOO-uh-vul. People with self respect say LOUIE-ville. The city is named after King Louis XI. There is no King LOO-uh. Ville is vill. Villanova. Villain. The Ville. Stop being a poser. If you can muster the energy to correctly pronounce Taylorsville Road and Shelbyville Road then work a little harder to say Louisville with a shred of self respect. And now here are some bloopers from Between Two Ferns. Good night. Let yourself out.

Calipari’s daughter barks at rival Chris Mack to school his wife on wokeness, quickly deletes tweet
Erin Calipari is the daughter of University of Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari. She regularly fights with people on Twitter. This one's a little stickier than others. Erin Calipari took offense to a social media post where Christi Mack, wife of University of Louisville basketball coach Chris Mack, applauded a post about supporting all of society, including police, during these tumultuous days of racial unrest. Erin Calipari deleted her clapback tweet less than one hour after posting it. Who in 2020 thinks it's OK to demand that a man put his wife in her place? Wut? Aren't you a Ph.D doing research at Vanderbilt? Did your husband say it was OK to go to college? Erin Calipari added this follow up: I’ve said this before
A phenomenally comprehensive illustration on how we’ve ruined our media business
The current intellectual movement is "counting on the guilt-ridden, self-flagellating nature of traditional American progressives, who will not stand up for themselves, and will walk to the Razor voluntarily." https://t.co/MHXoAy9U5e— Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) June 13, 2020 A free press is a sacred trust. We must protect its integrity instead of baking in bias and pretending to be objective. Diversity is good. Group think is not.

Michael Moore thinks American women underestimate White Male Rage. Managing White Male Rage is like the whole thing we're raised in America to DO.— Obelisk of Wokeness 🍩 (@EBlumberg11) June 14, 2020 2020 brought us the coronavirus pandemic, unprecedented unemployment, a near collapse of the American economy, and worldwide #BLM protests of police brutality that attracted riotous side actors. But white male rage...well, that's been here since Cain and Abel. The phrase found rejuvenated viability from a January SNL bit mocking the film JOKER.
