As Brittney Griner languishes in Russian prison, her anti-National Anthem Comments live on

WNBA basketball player Brittney Griner said the national anthem should not be payed before WNBA games because it somehow offended her. She swore to protest if it was played. “I honestly feel we should not play the National Anthem during our season,” she told AZ Central in 2020. “I think we should take that much of a stand.”

“I don’t mean that in any disrespect to our country,” she said. “My dad was in Vietnam and a law officer for 30 years. I wanted to be a cop before basketball. I do have pride for my country.” Just not in our National Anthem/

“I’m going to protest regardless,” Griner added, long before her arrest. “I’m not going to be out there for the National Anthem. If the league continues to want to play it, that’s fine. It will be all season long, I’ll not be out there. I feel like more are going to probably do the same thing. I can only speak for myself.”

And so she and her teammates took a knee when the Star Spangled Banner was played .

You know what--Griner probably doesn't hate the United States. She's just another mindless sheep with her head up the butt of the sheep in front of her in the herd. And that sheep whose butt is being followed by Griner has her head up the butt of Colin Kaepernick, the premier detractor of the greatest nation on earth.

Griner was sentenced this month to nine and a half years in a Russian prison for possession of cannabis oil. She knew the Russian laws about drugs--it wasn't as if she hadn't been there before.

Her comments about the anthem resurfaced online after sentencing.

Tomi Lahren, a political commentator, mocked Griner: 

On the bright side, B Griner won’t have to endure our National Anthem for 9 whole years! What a win for her!

Sure, it was kind of a cruel thing to say, but you can understand how her previous behavior can anger conservatives and people such as Tomi Lahren who call themselves conservative but are pro-abortion. 

Fellow Phoenix Mercury player Brianna Turner, who also disrespects the American flag and the National Anthem, on August 4, the day Griner was sentenced, defended Griner.

“I would love to individually respond and annihilate every negative viewpoint I receive but that would be a waste of my time,” Turner posted online. “At the end of the day many people lack compassion & critical thinking skills and it’s not my responsibility to teach that. Respectfully, get a life trolls.”

One has to respect Turner's loyalty to her teammate. But it isn't a lack of compassion for Griner that her detractors are showing: it's their respect for the country and how the view Griner's past behavior along with that of Turner's, who, in responding to the anti-Griner messages added in her post,  "I know many Americans lack compassion due to all the chaos … that happens regularly in our country.” She couldn't help but get in a ding to the nation.

Before Griner was sentenced, the 6-foot, 9-inch WNBA star told the court she never meant to break any laws and made an “honest mistake.”

Really? She didn't know the laws of Russia? She simply took it for granted they would allow medical marijuana into their country without checking?

On the other hand, nobody deserves to serve nine years in prison for what she did. But on the other hand, why are we thinking about handing over Viktor Bout, a known terrorist in her place along with one other American, former Marine, Paul Whelan, when it's clear that more lives will be endangered, possibly killed, if we hand Bout over.

I hope Griner and Whelan are freed, but I don't think it should be with this deal when one uses "critical thinking," as Brianna Turner says we lack.

Tomi Lahren apparently needs a warm butt to think

(Photo: Heat Street)

Tomi Lahren, the 24-year-old pseudo conservative used to be an anchor at The Blaze until she announced on national TV that she was pro-abortion. She was then told that she would no longer appear on the conservative network and decided to sue them for wrongful termination. 

I'm not a lawyer but it seems to me that if your values are contrary to the network you work for, and you make them public, the network has the right to take you off their payroll. I may be wrong, but it certainly makes sense and I believe Lahren is going to lose her case, which I hope she does.

Killing babies is not a conservative ideology.

But the latest dirty laundry to reach the noses of the public is how Lahren treated other employees at The Blaze. 

According to The Daily Caller, Blaze staff didn't appreciate how Lahren treated them. In fact, according to The Daily Caller, she made them heat up her "butt warming pads" in the microwave before every shoot.

For some reason, the staffers found that humiliating, but Lahren probably needed the butt stimulation to help her think since her pronouncement on abortion clearly came from her nether regions.

For those folks out there who, like Lahren, think with their butts, these warming pads can be found on Amazon under Thermalon Microwave Activated Moist Heat Pad. 

But a DIY version can be easily made by taking a small pillow, stuffing it with raw oats and sewing it shut. It can be microwaved for 4 minutes and provides at least 20 minutes of moist heat to get those derrière neurons kicking right in.

It's also great if you pull an ass muscle, like when liberals think too hard.

Tomi Lahren sues Beck & The Blaze over wrongful termination

Pseudo conservative Tomi Lahren, is suing conservative media outlet, The Blaze, and her former boss, Glenn Beck for wrongful termination over her pro-abortion comments.

The lawsuit was filed Friday in Dallas County and says The Blaze cancelled Lahren's allegedly conservative show after she "made a controversial abortion statements last month on The View. 

The suit said The Blaze wanted to continue paying Lahren, "presumably hoping they could find an exit strategy to sanitize their unlawful conduct" in breaking her two-year employment contract, which was to continue through September 30th. 

The Blaze said Friday that Lahren hadn't been terminated.

"It is puzzling that an employee who remains under contract (and is still being paid) has sued us for being fired, especially when we continue to comply fully with the terms of our agreement with her," a Blaze spokesman said, adding that Beck wouldn't comment directly on the suit.

Lahren's suit alleges that the turmoil over her non-conservative comments was "a public smear campaign" orchestrated to "inflate Beck's profile, from what has become a mediocre following, all at [Lahren's] expense."

According to the suit, The Blaze isn't allowing Lahren access to her Facebook page, with its 4.2 million followers. Supposedly, this has "irreparably harmed" her.

How do they know it's 'irreparable'? 

"I can't sit here and be a hypocrite and say I'm for limited government but I think the government should decide what women do with their bodies," she told the audience of The View.

"No one told [Lahren] that her statements on The View were improper or inappropriate; and, indeed, that [Lahren's] point of view is just that--her point of view and freedom of expression," the suit states adding that Beck and The Blaze knew of her pro-choice position, which she had expressed before, and "never took any issue with it."

Except that it's not true. Last year Lahren appeared to take a pro-life view on abortion, so what are her lawyers talking about? It's on YouTube. [See video below.]

Beck said that Lahren's claim of being libertarian clashes with her support of President Trump's executive orders and health care proposals, implying she doesn't know what she's talking about.

The suit alleges that The Blaze's resources director called Lahren and told her that "her employment was terminated, she would have no more shows," solely due to her pro-choice comments.

While [Lahren's] case appears to be based upon her freedom to choose, it doesn't take into account that the views she expressed to the public on TV is contrary to the ideology of her employer and thus, would tend to damage the employer's product. (This is similar to President Trump appointing Ivanka and Kushner, both extreme liberals, into his administration--this may turn off many true conservatives.)

Brian Lauten, Lahren's lawyer, said, "She's like an eagle that feels like it's had its wings clipped." Seriously, he said that and even added: "She's ready to pursue her career and reconnect with her millions of followers."

Lahren may be a bird, perhaps the seductive cuckoo, but she's certainly not an eagle. 

She's asking for attorney's fees and costs, but I would hope that if she loses, and she should it seems, that she would have to pay the fees for The Blaze. Why should they have all the risks? 

And why should they retain someone whose job it is to disseminate the political and ideological position of her employer when her views oppose that position?

Pro-choice Tomi Lahren: suspended and a hypocrite

She may be pretty but she's also pretty lame. Tomi Lahren has been suspended from The Blaze, where she works as a so-called conservative anchor. The Daily Caller was first to report the story.

Lahren caused a cow-chip storm when she revealed on The View that she is pro-choice when it comes to killing babies inside the womb. 

It isn't yet known if this was the reason for her suspension, but it's a really good reason to assess her actual political ideology and her understanding of conservatism. 

Right-leaning talk-show hosts and conservative pundits lashed out at the little blonde cutie, including Glenn Beck, the network founder of The Blaze. 

Beck promised to address the situation on his radio show Monday but before it was to happen it was learned by the Daily Caller that Lahren would not be returning to her time slot until next week at the earliest.

It was reported that there was tension between her and some of her colleagues, including head-lining hosts. Lahren is no stranger to controversial statements and no stranger to flip-flopping when it suits her or when she forgets what she'd already stated on a position.

She's about as conservative as Bernie Sanders.

Here's what she said on The View: 

"I'm pro choice, and here's why. I am a constitutional, y'know, someone that loves the Constitution. I'm someone that's for limited government. So I can't sit here and be a hypocrite and say I'm for limited government but I think the government should decide what women do with their bodies. I can sit here and say that, as a Republican and I can say, you know what, I'm for limited government, so stay out of my guns, and you can stay out of my body as well."

The audience, equipped with a 105 IQ collectively, applauded like trained monkeys. 

The issue of abortion has nothing to do with limited government--she conflated the two and was playing to the choir.

When it comes to the abortion issue, the fake conservative flip-flopped like a freshly caught trout at the edge of a stream. 

In an article by Red State, a video shows her on her show, "Final Thoughts" in a segment where she went full-throttle after Lena Dunham who had stated on her podcast that she wished she had an abortion. Lahren's response was a lot different back then: 

"This woman, and I use the term loosely, single-handedly kills legitimacy of the modern-day feminist movement every time she speaks . . . does she realize how damaging she is to her own narrative? Think about it: the 'pro-choicers' are supposed to be about rare and safe abortions. That's how they avoid sounding like straight-up baby killers . . . then we have Lena freaking Dunham out there wishing she could have murdered a fetus. Wishing for the option to kill your child doesn't exactly say much about the cause, her character, or the pro-choice movement. . . "

Lahren probably forgot that anything you say in the media is going to be recorded and your words may come back to haunt you. Her words: "Wishing for the option to kill your child doesn't exactly say much about the cause, her character, or the pro-choice movement." 

But that was then.

There's talk that Lahren wants to move up in the conservative world, and even Sean Hannity thinks she's the grooviest thing since LP records. President Trump reportedly called to congratulate her after she defended him on Hannity's show.

Perhaps Mr. Trump will hire her for her support of him against the "fake news" media. That sounds like her plan.
