Now that the mainstream has embraced Black Lives Matter, associating your brand with a malevolent anti-American lowlife like Colin Kaepernick isn’t cutting edge any more. So Nike upped the ante with a new sneaker honoring to the Prince of Darkness.

This is on the level:

Rapper Lil Nas X unveiled a limited edition of “satan shoes” that contain human blood and are limited to 666 pairs.

The “Old Town Road” singer is expected to release the pair of shoes on March 29 as a collaboration with Nike.

The satanic sneakers start at $1,018. Eternal damnation doesn’t come cheap, now that Nike has learned how to make a buck off it.

The timing of the shoe’s release coincides with the release of Nas’s latest video, “Montero (Call Me By Your Name),” which was released Thursday. The music video shows him dancing on a stripper pole on his way down to hell as well as giving Satan a lap dance, according to the New York Post.

On top of the worship of evil, we are treated to LGBT BS. The rapper says the song “will open doors for many other queer people to simply exist.”

The effect of moonbattery on what was once a thriving, healthy culture has been devastating. At this point, it may be irreversible.

Not only are athletes required to genuflect to Black Lives Matter rioters or face media castigation, fans are required to refrain from disapproving. Punishments for fans who boo displays of reverence for this violent hard left movement include banning and reeducation.

The Atlantic Ocean is not wide enough to protect England from compulsory BLM worship. From the Daily Mail:

Cambridge United have handed a stadium ban to fans who booed players taking a knee before their home game against Colchester.

Other fans have been asked to undertake education around discrimination and equality before they are allowed back into the Abbey Stadium.

Summit News interprets:

In other words, fans will have to sit through patronizing lectures about “diversity” and Black Lives Matter and feign agreement or face a stadium ban.

Why might British fans not want games hijacked by BLM supporters for propaganda purposes? Are they racists? Probably not; there are plenty of better reasons:

Over the summer, BLM rioters desecrated war memorials, set fire to the Union Jack flag, vandalized the Winston Churchill monument and violently attacked police.

Their political agenda also openly espouses a marxist agenda to destroy capitalism and completely subvert western civilization.

The kneeling began when NFL benchwarmer Colin Kaepernick segued from a fading sports career to a lucrative job as a professional moonbat by kneeling in disrespect for the flag when the national anthem was played. This evolved into a gesture of obeisance to Black Lives Matter in American sports during the height of the movement’s rioting, as Marxists used intimidation to advance their political agenda by looting and burning down businesses and destroying statues of the Founding Fathers.

Why do British soccer players feel compelled to kneel to these thugs? Why are fans not permitted to show understandable disgust? Big League Politics explains:

Black Lives Matter hasn’t proved as impactful in other English-speaking nations such as Britain- a largely homogeneous country- but the progressive cultural elite has increasingly sought to implement its ideals as a state religion, comparable to their practice in the United States.

Liberal race-based ideology has evolved into a mandatory global religion, and blaspheming its sacred rituals is not to be tolerated.

Waging war against America, white people, and the concept of law and order has never been easier. All you have to do is pack on a little extra weight by indulging in a carton of Ben & Jerry’s “Change the Whirled” vegan nondairy pseudo–ice cream:

The belligerently leftist Ben & Jerry’s has been bought out by a monolithic globalist corporation based in Europe that shares its political stance, Unilever.

If one moonbat personifies hatred of the USA, it is the washed-up athlete who went on to become a zillionaire anti-American activist, Colin Kaepernick. Why do major corporations pay $millions to be identified with a character who is intensely hated by a significant percentage of the population? Power Line lays some of the blame on the practice of pandering to communist China:

Unilever United States has sales of $3.83 billion. On the other hand, Unilever’s sales in China are exploding, expected to grow by 400% in the current decade, to RMB50bn, which translates to $7.9 billion.

Unilever, like so many companies–Nike and the NBA are obvious examples, but there are a great many others–doesn’t mind sponsoring anti-Americanism when their real money lies in China. Especially since the Chinese Communists, unlike us Americans, actually pay attention to the political stances of the companies that do business there.

If patriotic Americans categorically refused to buy anything from corporations with an aggressively leftist public stance, this nauseating nonsense would stop. But in the age of Black Lives Matter, it is getting hard to find anyone else to buy from.

Professional sports have been absorbed by the hard left. The NFL, NBA, and MLB feature athletes ceremonially genuflecting to Marxist terrorists before games. A few vestigial remnants of patriotism remain. Broadcasters Troy Aikman and Joe Buck sneer at them:

From Yahoo, regarding a game Sunday between the Buccaneers and Packers:

“That’s a lot of jet fuel just to do a little flyover,” Aikman says in the clip above. “That’s your hard-earned money and your tax dollars at work,” Buck responds. Aikman then gets political by name-dropping Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

“That stuff ain’t happening with the Kamala-Biden ticket, I’ll tell you that right now, partner,” the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback said.

Aikman has that much right. Pride in America is not on the agenda of Biden’s handlers. Instead of spending a few dollars on a flyover, they will sink us $trillions deeper into debt to socialize medicine and impose a variation of the Green New Deal.

The rot personified by bench-warming mediocrity Colin Kaepernick extends throughout professional sports, all the way up to the broadcast booth.

Hate hoaxes are so common because they are an effective means of acquiring sympathetic attention — sometimes even after they have been exposed.

Readers will recall that Althea Bernstein claimed to have been set on fire by racist white frat boys during a black supremacist riot in Madison last June. Unsurprisingly, authorities found it impossible to corroborate her story, though they certainly tried.

For being oppressed, Althea got to be queen for 15 minutes. Meghan Markle and her adjutant Prince Harry called her on the telephone. Good Morning America featured her for adoration.

The party couldn’t last forever. Via Breitbart:

By October 2, the Madison Police Department released a statement, saying, “after an exhaustive probe, detectives were unable to corroborate or locate evidence consistent with what was reported.”

The case was also investigated by the FBI and the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. Both agencies agreed with the local police. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Wisconsin ultimately said that “after reviewing all available evidence, authorities could not establish that the attack, as alleged by the complainant, had occurred.”

After that, press access to Althea was cut off, presumably to guard against the remote possibility that anyone from the mainstream media would follow up after her story had collapsed. Her 15 minutes were over.

Or maybe not:

[A]lmost two weeks after Bernstein’s case was dismissed by every agency that investigated her claims, the NFL was pushing the young woman as an example of “inspiring change.”

Why not? If Nike could pass off Colin Kaepernick as an athlete who sacrificed his career for leftist politics (he was a fading benchwarmer before he started with the kneeling theatrics), the NFL can present Althea Bernstein as an inspirational victim of racism. Beggars can’t be choosers when it comes to finding support for the Black Lives Matter narrative.

Not all football players spit venom like Colin Kaepernick or cower like Drew Brees. To find football players worthy of respect, you just have to look past the NFL and NCAA to high school.

From Morrow, Ohio:

When the Little Miami High School football team took the field Friday, Sept. 11, a couple of players carried alongside the American flag a Thin Blue Line and Thin Red Line flags.

As confirmed by senior cornerback Brady Williams, the intent was not political, but to honor first responders, many of whom died heroically on 9/11. Back then, most of us knew enough to revere heroes rather than criminals.

Williams was holding the Thin Blue Line flag as he rushed onto the field Friday. His father is a police officer, and he says he wanted to honor all the cops who lost their lives trying to save others on 9/11.

Jarad Bentley carried the Thin Red Line flag.

“I was all for it,” he said. “Because my dad is a firefighter, and if it had been him killed on 9/11, I would have wanted someone to do it for him.”

Sounds like we have two decent, respectful kids with their heads on straight. The liberal establishment reacted as you might expect.

Williams and Bentley heard from the athletic director Monday afternoon and received an indefinite suspension.

They had been told there would be consequences, and there were. The willingness to face them makes Williams and Bentley heroes too. How better to honor heroes than to be a hero on their behalf?

Leftists must be terrified of North Carolina congressional candidate Madison Cawthorn. They have beclowned themselves in a desperate attempt to portray the 25-year-old as a Nazi sympathizer for posting a picture of himself visiting the Eagle’s Nest, which is a popular tourist destination. The Instagram caption refers to Hitler as “a supreme evil,” yet we are asked to regard this as evidence that Cawthorn is a Nazi sympathizer:

HuffPost takes the handoff from Jezebel, only to fumble:

“The vacation house of the Führer,” Cawthorn wrote in a caption for the post, addressing Hitler using the reverential term Nazis associated with their leader.

Make note of the new rule. If you refer to anyone by their title, you are being “reverential.”

Actually, Hitler’s official title was “Führer und Reichskanzler.” HuffPost should have spun this as Cawthorn revealing an unsavory degree of familiarity by calling him “Führer” for short.

Cawthorn told HuffPost that the Allied victory “was the history I had in mind” when visiting the Eagle’s Nest. “It was a surreal experience to be remembering their joy in a place where the Nazi regime had plotted unspeakable acts of evil,” he said.

According to Jezebel, however, the candidate has named his real estate company SPQR ― a term popular among white nationalist groups ― and has allegedly displayed Betsy Ross’ version of the American flag, which the Anti-Defamation League says has been appropriated by far-right militias “among other Revolutionary War-era symbols.”

SPQR stands for Senātus Populusque Rōmānus (Roman Senate and People), in reference to the Roman Republic that preceded the Roman Empire. Among sarcastic Italians, it can also stand for “Sono Pazzi Questi Romani” (These Romans are crazy). The Betsy Ross flag stands for American patriotism, which is why Colin Kaepernick doesn’t like it. When leftists started going after our history and heritage, they were never likely to stop with tearing down statues of Robert E. Lee.

The ADL confirms that SPQR and the Betsy Ross flag are not hate symbols. Via Breitbart:

Mark Pitcavage, a senior research fellow for the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism, said the Betsy Ross flag, the SPQR abbreviation and Spartan helmet are not included in the league’s database of hate symbols. Pitcavage said while there are examples of their use by white supremacists … they are used “just as much or more often by nonextremists than extremists.”

Cawthorn responded to the attack by pointing out the obvious:

The Blaze has some background on Cawthorn:

Cawthorn stunned the political world in June when he won the Republican nomination for the election for North Carolina’s 11th Congressional District in a landslide victory. The motivational speaker trounced the GOP candidate who was backed by President Donald Trump, but he also ran in support of the president and his policies.

If he wins in the heavily Republican district, he would become the youngest member of Congress.

Cawthorn was paralyzed from the waist down in a 2014 car accident that nearly took his life.

A guy who might have been euthanized by the Nazis probably isn’t a big fan of them.

Looks like Cawthorn is making the most of the second chance he was given. Good luck to him in fending off future attacks from left-wing propagandists.

Kneeling to Black Lives Matter as it looted businesses and tore down statues of the Founding Fathers marked the total capitulation of professional baseball to the radical left, rendering the sport unwatchable. Back in the day, you could like and admire baseball players — especially no-nonsense countermoonbats like David Wells of the New York Yankees:

Wells appeared at the 75th Old-Timers’ Day at Yankee Stadium on Saturday – which celebrated the 25th anniversary of the 1998 Bronx Bombers squad that won 125 games and captured the World Series.

Wells covered up the Nike logo with medical tape on his Yankees jersey for Old Timers’ Day because he disagrees with the sneaker company’s politics.

Wells declared, “I hate Nike! They’re woke!”

That they are. Their logo on a uniform is a desecration.

According to The Athletic, “He said that if he were playing today, he would have cut a hole into his jersey and worn it on the field like that rather than display Nike’s logo on his body.”

Unsurprisingly, Boomer does not drink Bud Light, the brand that chained itself to the nightmarishly repulsive personification of liberal manhood Dylan Mulvaney.

If anyone is more woke even than the leftist kooks running Nike, it could only be the quintessential moonbat Keith Olbermann. He and Wells don’t seem to hit it off:

Seeking a rebuttal, Olberman tagged Wells on the X social media platform along with a screenshot of the former star pitcher voicing his displeasure with Bud Light.

Olbermann tweeted, “Bulls**t. @BoomerWells33 would drink wood alcohol. Another f***ing fraud.”

Wells struck back at Olbermann with a home run response, “Keith shut the f*** up. Just because you never played the game and all you did was work for ESPN and talk s**t on all of us players because you have a degree in journalism makes you an expert on putting athletes down. And that’s if you even have a degree. Stick to your politics.”

It will be some time before Olbermann can sit comfortably after such a well-placed kick in the pants.

In healthier times, Americans did not honor posturing buffoons of contemptible character as it does today, or submit to be ruled by them. Qualities like intellect, personal integrity, and clarity of thought were admired. We had heroes like John Adams, without whom America would not exist as anything more than another Canada.

Here’s what our liberal education establishment stopped teaching so that it could focus on critical race theory indoctrination instead:

Learn what you can while you can about the great men who built this country. They are slated for erasure by a ruling class vastly more intolerable than 18th century British royalty.

New York’s authoritarian Governor Andrew Cuomo is said to be on Biden’s handlers’ shortlist for attorney general. To get an idea of what this would mean for the cause of keeping American liberty alive, consider that Cuomo just signed a bill into law that makes the Confederate flag illegal.

The Rebel Flag symbolizes the South. That’s why it was featured on the cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd albums and on the car driven by the Dukes of Hazard.

Liberals associate Southern culture with resistance to their agenda; therefore, the Confederate flag is now regarded as a “hate symbol.” It’s a Culture War issue.

From the New York Post:

The new law — effective immediately — prohibits the sale of hate symbols on public grounds including state and local fairs, and also severely limits their display unless deemed relevant to serving an educational or historical purpose.

Cuomo explicitly named the Confederate flag as his first example of a hate symbol, denouncing it as “abhorrent.”

A hate symbol is in effect any symbol that leftists hate. Old Glory herself might become a hate symbol, or at the very least the Betsy Ross version.

A more brazen violation of the spirit of the First Amendment would be difficult to imagine.

Cuomo said the rule likely needs “certain technical changes” so the Empire State doesn’t get caught treading upon free speech protections codified in the Constitution’s First Amendment.

Actually, what it needs is to be thrown out — or rather, any politician who would support such a law needs to be thrown out.
