Can you say “Schadenfreude?” Sure you can. It’s a fun word to say, isn’t it? And it’s never more fun than when it's related to The Washington Post, the insufferable Democrat newsletter that boasts the world’s most ironic slogan: “Democracy Dies in Darkness.”

Mark off one more sport exploited by Black Lives Matter protesters: horse racing. Just like basketball, baseball, football and soccer, the Kentucky Derby had to be overshadowed by social justice protests. Louisville is where Breonna Taylor lived and died, and the Black Lives Matter disrupters were out in force to protest and turn the actual sporting event into a sideshow.

Amazon Prime’s The Boys is back, and with it are all the things we know and loathe. Within just the first three episodes, we’re subjected to numerous f-bombs, more gratuitous violence, and even a little religion bashing. Once again, there’s nothing heroic about this superhero series.

On Thursday the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture introduced a new webpage and collection celebrating the activism of African American athletes. A story by The Undefeated's Parker Owens declares, "The same athletes who were chastised and told to 'shut up and dribble' are now going to be immortalized as a part of the Smithsonian and chronicled in the story of…

Good news, HBO’s Lovecraft Country has taken a slight break from hating white people and adding modern politics to 1955. The bad news is it spends all those thirty seconds showing us a naked intersex character. Somehow, that isn’t much better than what we’ve been getting.

ESPN senior ranter Stephen Anthony Smith had three-alarm, hair's-on-fire meltdowns Thursday and Friday over the NBA's Brooklyn Nets hiring Great White North Canadian Steve Nash as their new head coach. Smith inferred that in the post-George Floyd world, only black coaches matter. To Smith, the NBA team chose a coach from a hiring pool of privileged white boys.

Apparently the Kavanaugh-bashing, #MeToo-supporting, potential first ever female Vice President is fine headlining fundraisers put on by a Hollywood sexist, who doesn’t even like her that much, (or didn’t when Harris was a presidential candidate.)

Yes, Black Lives Matter is societal poison. How could it be otherwise, dreamt up by self-described “trained Marxists” and based on crackpot academic theories bolstered by garbage statistics? And TV ratings give up empirical evidence BLM and all its public trappings are kryptonite for the business of sports. But what about the games themselves?

Just in time to benefit the radical pro-abortion policies of a Biden/Harris ticket – which many have called the most pro-abort political platform in American history – lefties at The New Yorker published a piece on a study saying the “95% of women” who had abortions said it was the “right decision” thing for them.

Beware the hyper-woke Millennial parent!

That’s the message I got from a piece in Time magazine Thursday written by Kyl Myers and adapted from her new book Raising Them: Our Adventure in Gender Creative Parenting. Simply put, this woman is nuts.

It’s amazing how the advanced future always seems to be viewed through a liberal lens on television. Either we devolve into a hedonistic nightmare or fall victim to a dystopian society based on not following liberal practices. HBO Max’s latest sci-fi series Raised by Wolves does both by espousing how belief in religion “weakens” the human mind and atheism is "the only path to progress."

Starting next weekend, NFL end zones will throw social justice slogans in viewers' faces, the players' helmets will feature the same plus the names of glorified criminals and there will be mass kneeling during the national anthem. Sound like ample inspiration to play golf or clean out the garage? There will be one redeeming presence in it all, though. Jacksonville tight end Tyler Eifert will…

It’s been years, but the NFL has finally done something right. The only question is whether Goodell’s crack team of brand burnishers did it on purpose. According to Yahoo Sports, a Thursday NFL press release touted a slate of concessions the league is making to its malcontent millionaire players. Most of them are 2020 get-out-the-vote efforts, including “working with state officials to…

Reading the Washington Post is mainly a joyless slog through waist-deep Democrat conventional wisdom and thickets of fashionable lefty platitudes. But the intrepid and alert can sometimes be rewarded with enlightenment. For example, Post sports and media writer Ben Strauss’s long (nearly 2,300 words), deeply hypocritical Sept. 3 article doesn’t tell you much about its subject, conservative…
