Pete Buttigieg reveals that blacks experience the pain of the Trump administration more than anyone else

Mayor Pete Buttigieg, often referred to on social media as #MayoPete, was in Sacramento, Calif., trying to convince voters that not only are Americans experiencing the pain of the Trump administration, but no group is experiencing it more than black Americans and Americans of color — none of whom appeared to have shown up at his rally.

Yeah, that record-low unemployment is a killer.

Overall black likely voter approval of President Trump: 43 percent. That’s way better than Buttigieg is doing with the black community.

Buttigieg is going to have to pander a lot harder than that to...

Nike Swooshes in to Attack Women’s Sports

First, it attacked America. Then adoption. Now, women. Honestly, with such a busy schedule of political extremism, it’s a mystery how Nike has time to sell anything. But for all of the company’s radical campaigns, it’s Nike’s latest that’s really raising eyebrows. The retail titan is picking a side in the transgender sports debate—and it isn’t girls’.

Just how beholden is big business to LGBT activists? Well, one of the biggest manufacturers of international sports equipment just told half its market that it doesn’t care about the future of women’s sports. So much for Nike’s progressive feminist cred.

In Tennessee, one of the states that’s considering a ban on biological boys competing against girls, the company actually suggested that keeping a level playing field for girls “put[s] our collective economic success at risk.” If anything puts our economic success at risk, it’s destroying 50% of high school, collegiate, and pro sports.

And yet, Nike, like 142 other businesses, is actively working to stop Tennessee (and at least six other states) from fighting the injustice of transgender sports.

“I fully support them for being true to themselves and having the courage to do what they believe in,” Connecticut track star Selina Soule says of her male competition.

But athletics is “an entirely different situation. It’s scientifically proven that males are built to be physically stronger than females. It’s unfair to put someone who is biologically a male, who has not undergone anything in terms of hormone therapy, against cisgender girls … It’s upsetting when we work hard all season and put in a lot of effort, only to turn up at the state meets and get beat by someone who is biologically a male and lose state championships over this.”

And these boys aren’t just stealing trophies, they’re stealing scholarships too. With the Olympics around the corner and the debate exploding across the sports world, even athletes who’ve identified as gay or lesbian are calling the trend what it is: cheating.

Tennis pro Martina Navratilova has been a great ally for the LGBT movement, but she had no problem blasting the radical ideology that’s killing sports and...

‘You’re A F**king Fascist!’ — Second Amendment Activists Heckle Mike Bloomberg In Virginia

Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg was heckled by several pro-Second Amendment activists during a Saturday evening campaign stop in Virginia.

As the former New York City mayor was speaking, protesters yelled “You’re f**king fascist!” and “You’re a racist!”

The mostly pro-Bloomberg crowd began booing and yelling “We like Mike!” and “Mike! Mike! Mike!”

A video of the action was posted Saturday by the Washington Examiner:

WATCH:

Several protesters were wearing “guns save lives” stickers, the Examiner reported, a slogan they continued to chant as they were pushed out by security.

Long a lightning rod on the issue of gun control, part of the former New York City mayor’s Saturday speech included reiterating his support for Virginia Democrats who recently passed controversial gun control legislation in the state.

“I’ve been to Virginia more than anywhere else,” Bloomberg said, according to the Examiner. “I have been involved in Virginia politics since long before I became a presidential candidate. In 2013, I was a big supporter of Terry McAuliffe.”

“In 2017, 2018, and 2019, we were fighting against the hate displayed in Charlottesville,” he continued. “Last year, in more than 25 years, all that work paid off, and Democrats took control of both chambers.”

The billionaire businessman’s late entry strategy to make a splash on Super Tuesday and beyond seems to be paying off, as he is currently polling first with 27.3% Democratic support in...
