Behind the NBA's Chicom pander

Fox News:
Outkick.com contributor Jason Whitlock on Wednesday explained why the National Basketball Association does not care about its United States audience as the league pursues massive financial interests in China.

“They’ve put the goals and the agenda of China ahead of the American agenda and that’s why it is so easy for them to sit on their thrones and smear America while overlooking the fact that there is Asian slave labor, and the Communist China Party are using a Lebron James, a Colin Kaepernick, a Nike to smear America,” Whitlock told “Ingraham Angle.”

Whitlock said that China’s plot to undermine American values is similar to the role Communist countries played against Western civilization historically.

“[China] smeared us with the race card when America is the worldwide leader when it comes to dealing with race. We dealt with it more effectively than any other country in the history of the world and we certainly deal with it a lot better than China,” Whitlock said.

On Monday, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., introduced the Slave-Free Business Certification Act, which would “increase corporate supply chain disclosure requirements, mandates regular audits, requires chief executive officers to certify that their companies’ supply chains do not rely on forced, slave labor, and creates penalties for firms that fail basic minimum standards for human rights.”

“Corporate America and the celebrities that hawk their products have been playing this game for a long time – talk up corporate social responsibility and social justice at home while making millions of dollars off the slave labor that assembles their products,” the Missouri Republican said in a statement. “Executives build woke, progressive brands for American consumers, but happily outsource labor to Chinese concentration camps, all just to save a few bucks.”

Last week, Hawley blasted the NBA for pulling custom gear from its online store following the backlash the league received for blocking "Free Hong Kong" to be printed on its apparel.

The NBA can smear America as being racists while it paints the floor with lettering honoring a Marxist race-based group like BLM.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
