Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Easting Contest Now a Spring Roll Eating Contest

Hot Dog Champ, Joey Chestnut, now must down spring rolls in the summer

Well, it was destined in the realm of things: Communist China has bought one of America's signature companies, Nathan's Famous, the hotdog king that started its journey in Brooklyn's Coney Island in1916. The franchise cost the commies  mere $450 million; they got a good deal.

I remember going to Nathan's as a kid after spending a day at the beach in Coney Island. We'd go as a family and with friends, play "lava" as the waves came in at the beach. We'd run back from the edge of the water onto the sand before the 'lava' hit our feet. Then go for a swim in water we dared not swallow.

The Smithfield Group, was itself bought by the Shuanghui Group in 2013, and now goes by the name WH Group. This group is owned by the Chinese Communist Party and its leadership is loaded with CCP honchos whose long-range goal was to buy American farmland. No big deal, other than being a national security threat. They owned roughly 150,000 acres of American land across 29 states, but has since reduced its land holding, perhaps to look less conspicuous.

Imagine, the first Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest will be held under the mayoral authority of none other than Zohran "Allahu Akbar!" Mamdani, New York's first anti-Zionist [aka antisemitic] mayor. How fitting that the CCP sponsored event will have a socialist in office.

You can't get more American than Nathan's, a company that began 110 years ago by a guy named Nathan Handwerker, four years after landing on our shore. He started out small with a little hotdog stand, and sold his products at a lower price than his competitors. By the time Major League Baseball named Nathan's as its official hotdog in 2017, the company became synonymous with baseball, barbecues, and America.

The big question on everybody's mind will be whether the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest will eventually become the Nathan's Famous Spring Roll Eating Contest. And can Joey Chestnut, the king of the contest, still win with downing spring rolls?

Chadwick Moore says Fox staffers leaving to follow Tucker

Fox News has gone from being a missile-firing destroyer, they are now a ship of fools as their ratings continue to plummet after they silenced the one voice that filled the proverbial seats: Tucker Carlson. 

Fox employees are not allowed to mention Tucker Carlson's name on air at the risk of being fired.

Tucker's Twitter show is destroying Fox's numbers as well as those of other networks. Nielsen reported after the third [of four] shows that Carlson raked in over 216 million views that covered Trump's indictment and other topics. In spite of being the number one cable news network for 120 weeks, Fox's primetime 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. viewership averaged 1,504,429 compared to MSNBC over the same time frame which averaged 1,520,857. While not a complete blowout, Fox fell behind the Marxists.

And Tucker's attorney, Harmeet Dhillon said she would not be appearing on Fox anymore because like Tucker and many conservative Americans, she believes in free speech. She urged others to reconsider their choices about where they get their news until Fox respects the First Amendment. She said the network is ignoring the interest of its viewers and their stockholders.

"For all the friends who have been asking “why don’t we see you on Fox anymore?” — This is why. I am passionately committed to free speech and a free flow of information necessary for a free society. Until Fox stops trying to silence Tucker, it’s not a place for me. And I feel for my friends working at the network which has clearly caved into pressure from some quarter to silence @TuckerCarlson. What you are seeing on Fox today is a censored version of the news. Keep that in mind as you make your viewing and your commenting choices."

Fox has filed a cease and desist order, claiming that Carlson is still under contract with them, but Tucker claims that they're the ones in breach, as they try to deny him his right to free speech.

According to Chadwick Moore, Carlson's biographer, things are about to deteriorate even further at Fox as nine former staffers of "Tucker Carlson Tonight" have left and are joining Tucker's team:

My sources have now told me *NINE* former Tucker Carlson Tonight staffers have left Fox News to join Tucker on his next venture. There are others who are waiting to leave as soon as a role opens up for them with Tucker. Each of the 9 approached Tucker, not the other way around.

Did you see the famous on-air chyron below the photo of President Biden: “Wannabe dictator speaks at White House after having his political rival arrested?" Well a loyal Tucker employee with ten years at Fox was forced to resign after he approved it.  Moore thinks the "Chyron Guy," Alex McCaskill, is one of those who's joining up with Tucker:

The Based Chyron Guy, Alex McCaskill, was a former Tucker Carlson Tonight producer who has now left Fox News after ten years, en route to joining Tucker’s new team. He is one of at least three former producers who have left Fox to join Tucker’s new venture. https://t.co/UioyIyk90L

— Chadwick Moore (@Chadwick_Moore) June 17, 2023

Moore goes on to say that Carlson's team at the network was extremely close and most started there when Tucker first launched his show. Obviously, Carlson was a much-loved boss because people don't tend to leave their job as a sign of solidarity for another person.

Like Bud Light, the MLB, Target and all those woke companies that ignore your feelings and beliefs, add Fox News to your list and do what you will with your time and your money. You have choices and finally, many conservatives are standing behind theirs.

US Navy, Major League Baseball ditch pride month from social media

It looks like the US Navy and Bud Light have found themselves as the butt end of jokes and lack of respect. The official U.S. Navy Instagram and Twitter accounts have apparently removed posts that celebrated the commencement of “Pride Month,” the entire month that celebrates gender confusion, men competing in women's sports, and very young children learning about gay sex and maybe they're not the sex their parents claimed they are.

Now that the Democrats are in power, the military has no choice but to fly the LGBTQ+1 flag proudly with Old Glory. 

Those in the rear, drink Bud Light

The first day of June was the start of an entire month of the sin of pride, and even worse, gay and gender confused pride, as if wearing a dress as a man is an accomplishment, not a mental illness. The Navy's social media accounts featured photos of military ships and fighter jets leaving a gay rainbow trail of colors shooting out the rear end. By Friday, the images were gone. 

Can someone tell me why the United States Navy is busy promoting pride and transgender propaganda? pic.twitter.com/mLfjtfcI1K

— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg)

Supposedly, this decision of removing the images is now part of the Pentagon's feeble efforts to distance itself from cultural issues, where it should have never gone in the first place.

This week, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, [both of whom are likely getting ready to come out of their respective closets] pirouetted in to CANCEL A FREAKING DRAG QUEEN  SHOW scheduled at Nellis Air Force Base near Las Vegas, on the eve of the Pride Month’s commencement.  

Rumor has it that both of these big, strong, military men enjoy these shows but are willing to sacrifice going 'for the good of the country.'

At the same time, Major League Baseball [emphasis on 'ball'] posted a Pride-themed graphic on Thursday which was gone the next day.

The LA Dodgers' plans to bow down to the anti-Catholic drag queen group known as "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" has created calls for boycotts of the team and condemnation from religious leaders. Catholic Vote launched a million-dollar opposition campaign to oppose the blasphemy that they would never do to Muslims.

The California State Senate, a known Communist sympathizing organization, also plans to honor the group, called ‘Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” on the Senate floor on June 5. Republican Senators released a caucus statement calling the invitation “inexcusable,” and a “slap in the face to Catholics.”

But worse than that, it's a slap in the face to all Christians, but what is the GOP going to do about it?

Black Leaders: Abrams speaks for White Liberals

She lost by 55,000 votes 

Political activist and Governor of Georgia in her own mind, Stacey Abrams claims her main objective is to amplify the voices of Black Americans--but some Black Americans say otherwise.

One group of Georgia's Black leaders have made it clear that Abrams is not representing what they believe.

Black Americans for a Better Future Education Fund and the Georgia Black Republican Council co-hosted an event Tuesday and called out Abrams’ role in convincing Major League Baseball to remove this year’s All-Star Game out of Atlanta. 

[H/T Breitbart]

The move from Georgia was based on a lie. Specifically, Abrams and the Democrats claimed the voting laws in the state were biased against Black voters.

“It’s been estimated that Cobb County will lose north of $100 million in revenue and economic activity as a result of baseball’s unilateral decision to relocate the game,” Black Americans for a Better Future Education Fund founder and chairman Raynard Jackson said.

“We want to put a human face on this issue today. These are not just mere statistics and economic data that Cobb County put out.”

Jackson specifically called out Abrams by name for what he correctly said is a dishonest effort to oppose Georgia's voting laws, which she claims makes it harder for Black people to vote.

“You have one person, by the name of Stacey Abrams, who lied,” Jackson said. “She got Major League Baseball to relocate the game. She got corporations like Delta Airlines, Coca-Cola, to come out against the Georgia Integrity Act.”

The truth is, Georgia's new voting law changes actually makes it easier for all people to vote. Voting locations have been added and time to vote extended. What was made harder for Black people can be attributed to Abrams and the Democrats as they are responsible for the huge loss of revenue that would have been generated to Cobb County and specifically impact Black folks.

“Stacey Abrams doesn’t speak for the Black community,” Jackson said in a separate statement. “She speaks for the white liberals who bankroll her political ambitions.

“Stacey Abrams doesn’t actually care about making it easier for Black people to vote, she only cares about making it easier for Democrats to vote.”

Bingo!

One of the main provisions in the new laws was a requirement for voters to show a photo ID when submitting an absentee ballot.

In an interview Sunday on “State of the Union,” Abrams said the Georgia law meant voters “are being forced to go through unnecessary hurdles to prove their bona fides.”

Lisa Babbage of the Georgia Black Republican Council, said Abrams’ indication that this requirement would somehow disenfranchise black voters is “insulting.”

“Black people aren’t stupid, but Stacey Abrams treats us like we are when she suggests that we aren’t even capable of obtaining a photo ID,” she said, according to Breitbart.

This is simply an example of the hard bigotry of low expectations by the Left. It also allows cheating to take place in elections.

But perhaps Ben Shapiro is right when he labeled this kind of thinking "the bigotry of no expectations."

Woke MLB moving All-Star game from mostly Black city to mostly White city

In spite of the fact that New York voting laws are more restrictive than those of Georgia's, Major League Baseball's commissioner, Rob Manfred, is too cowardly to stand his ground and has given in to the woke minority. He will be moving the 2021 All-Star game to Denver in spite of the huge number of Black residents and others it will hurt in Atlanta.

According to U.S. Census numbers, Atlanta is 51% Black; Denver is 9% percent Black. So the move will hurt Black businesses significantly more in Georgia while helping White businesses in Colorado. How "woke" can you get?

Nearly 30% of businesses in Atlanta are Black-owned, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The game will now be played at Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies and lots of White people.

According to 2019 U.S. Census data, Atlanta is 51% Black and 40.9% White, while Denver is 9.2% Black and 76% White.

Democrats have lied about the changes made in Georgia's new voting laws. They claim it will make it harder for people of color to vote. Some may even die of dehydration or starvation if you believe their lies, especially the lies spouted by President Biden.

As it turns out, Georgia has more opportunities to vote compared to states like New York, run by a Democrat and alleged sexual predator Andrew Cuomo.

But that's woke for you.

Jackie Robinson may be turning over in his grave.

Stacey Abrams lied about GA voter laws, now upset by consequences

Stacey "Not Gov." Abrams

Stacey Abrams, the failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate, whined for weeks about and spread lies about the state's new voting reform law. She said it was "a redux of Jim Crow in a suit and tie.” And it was her lies about the bill that likely scared the cowards of Major League Baseball to move the All-Star game out of Atlanta.

The loser gubernatorial candidate's full statement to MLB is as follows:

Republicans who passed and defended Senate Bill 2020 did so knowing the economic risks to our state. They prioritized making it harder for people of color to vote over the economic well-being of Georgians.

Like many Georgians, I am disappointed that the MLB is relocating the All-Star game; however, I commend the players, owners and League commissioner for speaking out. I urge others in positions of leadership to do so as well. As I have stated, I respect boycotts, although I don’t want to see Georgia families hurt by lost events and jobs. Georgians targeted by voter suppression will be hurt as opportunities go to other states. We should not abandon the victims of GOP malice and lies – we must stand together.

Georgia Republicans must renounce the terrible damage they have caused to our voting system and the harm they have inflicted on our economy. Our corporate community must get off the sidelines as full partners in this fight, acknowledging that the provisions of SB 2020 do not expand voting rights. They restrict those rights, affecting employees and consumers alike. And leaders must publicly support the voting rights provisions in the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to mitigate the harm being done in Georgia and other states.

As other events, productions and businesses weigh whether to patronize Georgia, I urge those who can to come and speak out, and I urge those who are here to stay and fight, to stay and vote. We need you.

Her statement is a clear example of an obese woman being caught between a rock and a harder rock. She had to compliment the players for her faux outrage [if it's real, she's an imbecile] over the faux disenfranchisement of people of color while imploring them to keep the game in Atlanta. 

But the bill did not make it harder for people of color to vote--it made it easier.

The left-leaning Washington Post fact-checked the sundry complaints about the Georgia bill, which resulted in the finding that the experts it spoke to said “the net effect was to expand the opportunities to vote for most Georgians, not limit them.”

Specifically, the left-leaning Washington Post found that while house plant President Joe Biden and others claimed the new law “ends voting hours early so working people can’t cast their vote after their shift is over,” the new law does not at all limit voting hours. In fact, it extends them. 

Critics of the bill also falsely claimed the new Georgia bill would prohibit food or drink from being passed out to people waiting in line to vote. This is not a lie; it's a damn lie. The people who cannot pass out food, water or political literature to those in line waiting to vote are politicians and their staff within 150 feet of the polling area. And people are allowed to bring their own water and food if they think they'll starve or dehydrate. Poll workers within the 150 feet of the polling area can provide water or food as they see fit.

So Biden, Abrams, the media, and the entire Democratic Party are lying to the public. Even if you love baseball, you need to think about whether to support their decision to bow to the woke crowd or not watch nor attend the game.

Don't be a loser like Stacey Abrams.

White House Plant says he'd "strongly support" moving MLB All-Star game due to Georgia's voting changes

Our barely sentient President Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. will "strongly support" moving the Major League All-Star game out of Atlanta because of better regulated voting laws the state has passed. The house plant said on ESPN Wednesday that the new voting restrictions are "just not right."

The nation's figure head said "This is Jim Crow on steroids, what they are doing in Georgia and 40 other states. What it's all about — imagine passing a law saying you cant provide water or food for someone standing in a line to vote. Can't do that. Come on? Or you close a polling place at 5 o'clock when working people just get off?

"This is all about keeping working folks and ordinary folks that I grew up with from being able to vote. Come on," he lied, using his signature 'come on' without the 'man' at the end.

Biden might look like Banjo Boy from "Deliverance," or Walter, Jeff Dunham's cute old man dummy, but don't be fooled. Biden is now a tool of the far-left and he may not even realize it.

Biden's statement came as a backlash against the new limits grew.

So let's examine the new "limits" as noted by the Governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp (R) who spoke on Fox News and not the mainstream left media, and unlike Biden, he was able to do so without written notes or a teleprompter. Kemp called Biden's rhetoric disingenuous and completely false. In other words, the cute old Banjo Boy lied.

Kemp explained that SB 202 does the following:

First, it actually expands access to early voting across Georgia by requiring 2 mandatory Saturdays and allowing local election officials the option of up to two Sundays during early voting. This applies to all 159 counties in the state for the first time and this increases the voting result hundreds of hours of more early voting opportunities across the state--the opposite of voter suppression and nothing to do with Jim Crow laws the Democrats had implemented and for which they don't like to take credit.

SB 202 requires all voters to provide a driver’s license or a free state ID card number to request and submit an absentee ballot. This replaces the cumbersome signature match process, thereby significantly streamlining – and securing – absentee ballot verification and tabulation. 

Every Georgia voter must already present some form of photo ID to vote in-person and the GOP refuses to infantilize any group of voter by suggesting they cannot obtain identification as the Democrats constantly imply.

For the first time ballot drop boxes – which were not available to Georgia voters prior to the COVID-19 pandemic – are mandated in every county, while also ensuring all drop boxes are secured around the clock. It's probably the latter part in which the drop boxes would be secured that disturbs the Democrats because it helps to eliminate tampering with the ballots inside.

 

SB 202 also protects polling locations from electioneering by private individuals, a common measure taken throughout the country in every state. If a person who is in line to vote is within 150 feet, election officials may provide water at stations. Beyond 150 feet, as previous Georgia law allowed, private individuals can provide water, pizza or anything else they wish to hand out in their effort to campaign for the vote of those waiting to do so. 

Biden lied by saying that people in line would not be able to receive water if thirsty. That's almost as bad as throwing an infant over the southern border wall. 

In addition, SB 202  requires local election officials to continue tabulating votes until counting is complete and mandates the use of security paper to ensure complete authentication of ballots. Democrats don't like that idea because it may result in results that favor Republicans.

The reforms obviously have zero to do with "voter suppression" or "Jim Crow" as Biden claims they do. Liars believe the people they lie to are not bright enough to know they are being lied to, and sometimes liars are correct. Those people who believe lies without checking the facts are most often people on the far-left and the far-right. But the left would even have you believe that everyone in the Republican Party is on the far-right, which is nonsense.

The Election Integrity Act makes it significantly easier to vote by expanding access to the polls and harder to cheat by ensuring the security of the ballot box. It's the cheating part that bothers the left.

If Major League Baseball allows politics to dictate their decision as to where the All-Star game is to be played, then it's no longer America's pastime as far as this writer is concerned.

MLB replaces 'Disabled List' with PC list

Major League Baseball is getting rid of the "disabled list" in 2019 because it makes disabled people feel like they will never play major league baseball or something like that. They will now call it the "injured list" and hopefully this will not upset the social justice warriors who are brain injured or brain dead and who

scour the dregs of the Internet to find something to get pissed off over. That would be insensitive.

The "disabled list" has been part of professional baseball since the mid-1960s (and there are even records of some teams using a 'disabled list" as far back as the early 20th century, but those players are dead, which is a worse medical condition), and it has become normal to refer to an injured or exhausted player as "on the DL." 

But MLB has been reportedly batting around the idea of renaming the injured roster in order to better reflect the condition of players who skip games for mental, medical or physical reasons, according to ESPN, the political arm of sports television.

There is even talk of MLB developing an LGBTQsilentP list, but that's merely in the rumor stage at this time.

"The league will make the change out of concern that the term 'disabled' for injured players falsely conflates disabilities with injuries and an inability to participate in sports," the far-left sports network reported after a brief pontification about the Second Amendment. The change was made at the request of disability advocacy organizations, who have been pressing the league to make the change for nearly a decade, having nothing else to complain about.

In recent years, the commissioner has received several inquiries regarding the name of the 'Disabled List,'" MLB's "senior director of league economics and operations" wrote in a letter to MLB teams and team owners in late December.

The MLB statement said:

"The principal concern is that using the term 'disabled' for players who are injured supports the misconception that people with disabilities are injured and therefore are not able to participate or compete in sports. As a result, Major League Baseball has agreed to change the name 'Disabled List' to be the 'Injured List' at both the major and minor league levels. All standards and requirements for placement, reinstatement, etc., shall remain unchanged. This change, which is only a rebranding of the name itself, is effective immediately.

“People with disabilities do not consider themselves injured,”Jay Ruderman, president of the disability advocacy organization, The Ruderman Family Foundation, told the New York Times. “When it’s used incorrectly, when someone is injured, not disabled, that’s offensive.”

But some normal people might argue that the Disabled List referred specifically to the game of baseball and players on the list were unable [aka disabled] to effectively contribute to the success of their team at the time.

Picking nits, Ruderman went on to add that players with a "torn ACL," for example, are more adequately described as "injured" and not "disabled," hence the push. Ultimately, disability advocacy organizations hope that the change will resonate with baseball fans and lead to a more widespread understanding of the difference between temporary injury and permanent disability.

But let's face it--social justice warriors hardly like the term 'disabled' for any reason. They prefer, for example, to call a blind person 'optically challenged,' or a paranoid schizophrenic a 'reality challenged dreamer.'

Anyway, to the credit of MLB, at least they aren't taking a knee during the National Anthem . . . right?

I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.

Anthem Kneeler MLB's Bruce Maxwell arrested on gun charge

Bruce Maxwell, a catcher for the Oakland Athletics, is the only Major League Baseball player to disrespectfully kneel during the National Anthem this season. Now he's been arrested on a gun charge.

Maxwell, 26, allegedly pointed a handgun at a female food delivery person in Scottsdale, Arizona.

According to Scottsdale police, officers went to Maxwell's home Saturday night after receiving a call about a person with a gun. The mediocre hitter (.237 with 3 HRs and 22 RBIs in 76 games) was booked on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and disorderly conduct.

The anti-Anthem catcher was held in custody pending an initial appearance.

TMZ Sports was first to report on the story.

Last week, Maxwell told a story of how when he visited his hometown of Huntsville, Alabama he was refused service at a restaurant because of his un-American display of stupidity. A waiter told Fox News that he was "outright lying" about what happened. "I didn't even know who Bruce Maxwell was," waiter Matt Henry said.

Sorry Maxwell, but most people don't know who you are. You're not famous and you play baseball behind a mask.  I believe the waiter's story and I believe you're just trying to 'do a Kaepernick' for your 15 minutes of fame, because you're certainly not getting it from your baseball career.

Keep taking a knee and watch the same thing happen to MLB that's happening to the NFL.

But maybe you'll be taking that knee in prison. Hey, you already have the ink to fit in.
