Alex Jones Decide Trump is a Dumbass

Now that the former president has recommended vaccines, Jones has done an about face after years of supporting Donald Trump. Jones has been peddling the idea that the vax will create mutants and now accused Donald of being a puppet for the left.

Notre Dame Tries To Defend 4th Worst Mascott in NCAA

After being voted the fourth most offensive mascott in the league, ND tried to explain that the “leprechaun, of course, is symbolic of the Fighting Irish and intentionally a caricature. It also originated — in England — as a derisive symbol of Irish people, which Irish-Americans – including those at Notre Dame — again have turned back on former oppressors as a sign of celebration and triumph. In both the upraised fists of the leprechaun mascot and the use of the word ‘fighting,’ the intent is to recognize the determination of the Irish people and, symbolically, the university’s athletes.”

There is no comparison between Notre Dame’s nickname and mascot and the Indian and warrior names (and) mascots used by other institutions such as the NFL team formerly known as the Redskins. None of these institutions were founded or named by Native Americans who sought to highlight their heritage by using names and symbols associated with their people.”

Okayyyy. When’s the last time you had an Irishman in your university or on your football team?

Title

Shaq went all in with a video incorporating all the Jewiness he could handle. Which wasn’t much, he failed on melody and lyrics for Hava Nagila, and for some reason wished him a happy New Year. If he had one Jewish friend he would have just said Mazel Tov.

Wait till Jews get the bill on the Shaq endorsement. He doesn’t come cheap.
