The NAACP has issued a traveler's advisory for African-Americans in Florida, even going so far as to discourage them from settling there. These warnings are prompted, they claim, by Governor DeSantis' "aggressive efforts to erase black history."
First: NAACP, how about joining the 21st century. No more of this National Association for the Advancement of "Colored People." Change your name to NAAPC, for the advancement of people of color. Then, shove your traveler's advisory. You're fomenting fear. People of color should be encouraged to travel anywhere they damn well please. This entire country is their country, too.

In the "Land of 400 million firearms," Memphis Grizzlies phenom, Ja Morant, flashes a pistol on a home video, and the NBA suspends him... to protect its image. Image? This is the same NBA that nestles itself in China's back pocket - the same China that stifles free speech and forces its minority Uighura into re-education camps to teach them how not to be Uighura.
Stay warm, Commissioner Silver, and be careful you are not suspended... for flashing your billions.

Looking at the 89-year-old Diane Feinstein clinging to power - being pushed through the halls of the Senate in a wheelchair - reminds us of what an 84-year-old Biden might look like halfway through a second term as president.

Queen Elizabeth's funeral cost the citizens of the United Kingdom 200 million dollars. What a waste. That is why I insist: Bury me in a pine box.
