Key Republican senators have launched a push to take away Major League Baseball’s antitrust exemption in response to the league’s decision to pull its All-Star Game from Atlanta.
On Friday, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred announced his decision that the league would remove its 2021 All-Star Game from Atlanta in response to the state of Georgia’s decision to reform its voting laws.

YouTube Deleted 2.5 Million ‘Dislikes’ From Biden White House Videos, Data Indicates
Via Hal
YouTube has deleted about 2.5 million ‘dislikes’ from videos on the official White House channel of President Joe Biden, according to data collected and posted online by a researcher who wished to remain anonymous. YouTube recently announced that it’s testing a new page design that hides the dislike count.
The Google-owned video platform allows users to give videos either a thumb up (like) or thumb down (dislike). For at least two years, it’s had a policy to remove likes and dislikes it considers spam.

Woke 'cancel culture' companies to avoid
The companies on this list are just promoting an anti-American, anti-Caucasian, anti-Semitic, tyrannical state in which they want to be corporatist partners to abnegate our birthright Bill of Rights, the US Constitution, free market capitalism and religious tolerance. Some are hard, if not nearly impossible, to avoid. So, do your best, make your mark, and do what you can do to save our children .......and their children to come.
We're now living in a statist bully-society where there are oppressive "cancelers' and damaged 'cancelees.' We are returning to the days of 1930's fascist Nazi Germany where people were encouraged to snitch on anyone not in agreement with the views of the Party. This is analogous to what we see happening on social me and 'woke corporate" tyrants who exploit their near, or even total, monopolies. even sports leagues fall into the latter category, because the racist antics of the NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, and NASCAR. Taken together, they have a virtual monopoly over the high-dollar professional sports. Ditto to the social media outfits led by progressive hucksters such as Zuckerberg, Gates, Bezos, and Dorsey, they represent the death of personal privacy, freedom of choice, free will, and free speech. They and the other tech billionaires will laugh all the way to Davos and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Here just below is the list of the worst of these liberty abusing offenders. They are currying favor with the DSP (Democrat Socialist Party) and doing the things the DSP wants done but lacks the authority to do because, for now, the Constitution still constrains them. That will likely not be the case in the future, but for now, the DSP's marriage to corporatists and media moguls will do. They want to curry favor because they believe we are entering into a period of single-party oligarchic rule and they need to be on board with what the DSP wants them to do. I'm certain there are some other "Cancel Companies" which are not yet on the list. If I get an update, I will send it out again. This is an excellent piece of work someone did !
[I wish someone would make a list of recognizable businesses that still respect honor, God, personal responsibility, life, honesty, the Constitution and human rights. That list would likely be much shorter.

Once upon a time, the Cardinal rule of business was to never even discuss politics, yet nowadays, more and more companies are brazenly chosing to alienate half of the country by attacking Donald Trump and/or Republicans, by pushing for censorship of conservative speech, and/or by pushing the Democrat's toxic culture war, including supporting the false and racist narrative of systemic racism in police and in America in general. These left-wing companies are a threat to our freedoms.

First, a few links to warm you up. I trust American Thinker and Gateway Pundit; I cannot vouch for the others specifically but – cross-referencing across the web through days and weeks of reading – I find the main gist of the tableau they paint credible.

"Find Of The Century" - Rare 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder Found In Shipping Container
Via Phil
About two hours later, on that Friday, Old Crow Speed Shop revealed they found what appears to be a pristine 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder. Baby boomers may remember the sportscar is the same one that American actor James Dean died in. Only 90 of the 1200-pound aluminum-bodied cars were ever built, making it an extremely rare car. About three years ago, only of these cars sold for $4.5 million at Pebble Beach.
In what usually turns out to be a barn find, Old Crow Speed Shop posted a lengthy Facebook post on uncovering the rare Porsche from a shipping container:

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned against "political correctness taken to the point of absurdity."
Minister
Sergei Lavrov on Thursday warned that anti-white racism might be
building in the United States and said that political correctness "taken
to the extreme" would have lamentable consequences.
In an interview with political scientists broadcast on national television, Moscow's top diplomat said Russia had long supported a worldwide trend that "everyone wants to get rid of racism."
Russians are more fascinated by the images of the mass protests in response to George Floyd’s death.
In Russia today, it feels just like there is a gathering storm. But no one knows anything about it. It’s like on a hot and oppressive summer day when there is barely a hint of storm clouds on the horizon, there isn’t even a short clap of thunder and it won’t rain, but all the same you’re anxious, and you hurry home because you don’t just feel it — you know that something terrible is about to happen. Even though of course there are no obvious signs of the gathering storm.
Taken alone, the results of public opinion polls measuring popular support for President Vladimir Putin or people’s willingness to take part in protests are not enough to gauge the current political climate.

Trump Calls For Boycotting MLB & ‘Fans In Georgia Are The Victims’
Former President Donald Trump called for people to boycott Major League Baseball (MLB) on Friday night after the league caved to pressure from leftists to cancel the All Star Game, which was scheduled to take place in Atlanta, after Georgia passed a law to tighten up voting security around the state.
Trump’s statement comes after MLB Commissioner Robert D. Manfred, Jr. announced earlier in the day that the league was moving both All-Star Game and MLB Draft to a new host city following a misleading pressure campaign from leftists about the state’s new laws.
