First it was sabotage. Then a possibility of ingested urine soaked hay. Or was it a bit of cough syrup left by a careless groom? Jimson weed accidentally mixed in the feed? No wait...it's CANCEL CULTURE! 🤔 "I think it was just a knee jerk, cancel culture kind of reaction. They violated my due process..." -@BobBaffert on the statement released by @ChurchillDowns @KentuckyDerby pic.twitter.com/AE5kom6YlQ — Dan Patrick Show (@dpshow) May 10, 2021 Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert has been running through an endless stream of excuses as to how his Kentucky Derby winning horse Medina Spirit failed a post-victory drug test. Medina Spirit tested for an excessive amount of betamethasone, an anti-inflammatory. Baffert was baffled. He said that his team does not use that drug.

These hockey pucks today would kill Rickles
Legendary comedian Don Rickles died in 2017 at age 90. If he were still alive in today's woke society, he would be burned at the stake. Watch his Saturday Night Live monologue from 1984 and prepare for self-righteous heads to explode. Part of the Rickles SNL monologue included this line: "I make jokes about Black people cuz I'm not one." The crowd roared with laughter as Rickles went on to imitate Blacks, Italians, Puerto Ricans, Chinese, and other races and ethnicities. Huge audience laughter. This week, the woke castmates on SNL are upset that business tycoon Elon Musk is the guest host. Why? Because he's a rich white guy. That's his crime. Some SNL "comedians" are hesitant to appear on stage with Musk. When did
Brett Favre blasts woke sports: “I want to watch a game, not what’s going on outside of the game, and I think the general fan feels the same way.”
Brett Favre is asking to get sacked by the hyper-sensitive left "woke" crowd that encourages political grandstanding in every public sphere. Favre dares to disagree with twitter bullies who refuse to tolerate opposing opinions, saying "I think both sides, for the most part, want to see it just remain about the sport, not about politics." Both sides? Not the liberal side! They're WOKE! Cue the outrage machine (even before listening to his comments in full context)! The 20 year pro football veteran and NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Favre refuses to accept woke sports and feels most fans agree with him. Favre to interviewer Andrew Klavan: “Something’s got to unite us. And the games or sport in the poast has been some kind of
Will drivers have to pay-per-mile for using roads? Sen. Mitch McConnell on infrastructure, the booming Biden economy, MLB shiftiness, the Manchin trump card, more
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell joined me on WHAS Radio for a wide ranging conversation about the Biden Administration's stimulus packages, infrastructure proposals, COVID vaccine access, moving the MLB all-star game over woke politics, and the senate seesaw of having moderate Democrat Joe Manchin voting often with Republicans. .@terrymeiners says @LeaderMcConnell might consider himself still majority leader given how much @Sen_JoeManchin sides with the #GOP. McConnell says he appreciates Machin’s open-mindedness, saying @JoeBiden is leading an “audacious” left-wing administration. #KYSen #Biden — Philmonger (@phillipmbailey) April 6, 2021 Only once did the Senate Minority Leader cut me off while blurting "LET ME FINISH!" That's a new over/under record! Wide ranging interview with @LeaderMcConnell on whether @JoeBiden has ghosted him, if McConnell is still majority leader b/c
SPOONERISM OUTRAGE: an MSNBC host mashup of Knicks and Lakers stirs Cancel Culture
Earlier today, while reporting on the tragic news of Kobe Bryant’s passing, I unfortunately stuttered on air, combining the names of the Knicks and the Lakers to say “Nakers.” Please know I did not & would NEVER use a racist term. I apologize for the confusion this caused.— Alison Morris (@AlisonMorrisNOW) January 26, 2020 The Cancel Culture is coming for MSNBC host Alison Morris. She mangled her words on a broadcast today, mashing together "Knicks" and "Lakers" while referring to the shocking death of Kobe Bryant. Many people think she intentionally uttered the N-word, a ludicrous take but - on Twitter - it is somehow given credence. Here let me slow it down for you. She’s clearly NOT saying Nakers. She said
DJ WOKE WOKE – the political analysis chapter, if it feels OK for you
2019 saw an inordinate share of hoaxes advanced by WOKE media. Is there any better way for struggling mainstream media to restore its withering street cred? "We're down with the struggle, y'all!" Not long ago, journalists would get backup verification before blurting out "facts" to media consumers. Now any viral video becomes an instant "story" quickly tweeted as "breaking news." The only thing that's really BREAKING is credibility. Dr. Wilfred Reilly, an African American professor at Kentucky State University, an HBCU, has written a book called HATE CRIME HOAX: HOW THE LEFT IS SELLING A FAKE RACE WAR. Dr. Reilly estimates that 15% of media mushrooming of "hate crimes" is mostly lies and/or exaggeration. The first thing I tell students in
Cancel Culture is in the eye of the beholder
Is Cancel Culture generated by sensitive millennials or sensitive rich, powerful people? Great topic analysis from this dude. Let's check his old Tweets before we decide if we actually like him. Comedian Sarah Silverman has been pushing back on the cancel culture concept. Silverman WOKE to the cancel culture conundrum after her 2007 anti-racism blackface sketch was recently used to drag her on the internet. It cost her a movie role and limited other opportunities so Silverman pushed back against the "perversion" of "gotcha mining" of dated comedy. The cancel culture people did not understand the nuance of a white woman mocking racism with racism. Silverman says she no longer stands by the sketch. The cancel culture saw only blackface without enough intellectual curiosity
