Yeah it was a dumb 'fact check' and a pathetic attempt to go after Tim Scott by the WaPo but at the same time I don't get the fascination with Tim Scott from either side. He seems like a very decent person but as a politician, meh. There's nothing politically about Scott that makes him stand out from the rest of the GOP establishment.

And if you want to get even more specific, it's unions that are pushing this woke capitalism.

You're correct about MLB. Antitrust would have be taken up by the federal government. But my point still stands for other companies that have also whined publicly like Coke and Delta. Those companies both benefit from GA's corporate tax laws.

And said business shouldn't be rewarded with tax breaks and tax exemptions from a state if they're going to throw a tantrum and take an event/business elsewhere. That's also a part of democracy. Taxpayers of GA shouldn't be giving corporate welfare to companies if they're going to turn around deprive them of their business as leverage to try to bully a state into doing what they want. Do voters in GA want to be run by big business or be run by their elected officials?

That 60 Minutes Story on Ron DeSantis and Florida's Vaccine Rollout Is Wildly Flawed CBS cut the part where DeSantis carefully explains why the reporter's narrative is wrong. ROBBY SOAVE | 4.5.2021 1:10 PM A 60 Minutes story on Florida's vaccine rollout accused Ron DeSantis, the state's Republican governor, of making a corrupt deal with Publix to distribute the vaccine. CBS reporter Sharyn Alfonsi noted that the grocery chain donated $100,000 to DeSantis' election campaign and suggested the lucrative vaccination contract was a "pay-to-play" scheme. It's an accus

The people of Georgia should run Georgia, not woke corporations. GA GOP need to grow a spine and start revoking tax exemptions. Just pointing out the corporations hypocrisy by going 'look at China' or 'they require ID' isn't going to accomplish anything. It's just whining. The GOP need to start acting and quit whining about these corporations.

Health Minister Jens Spahn and state officials agreed unanimously to only give the vaccine to people aged 60 or older, unless they belong to a high-risk category for serious illness from COVID-19 and have agreed to take the vaccine despite the small r

Over 100 fully vaccinated people contract COVID-19 in Washington state, officials say Officials said the so-called breakthrough cases are expected with any vaccine. By Morgan Winsor March 31, 2021, 6:53 AM • 5 min read Over 100 people in Washington state have tested positive for COVID-19 more than two weeks after becoming fully vaccinated against the disease, officials said. The Washington State Department of Health is investigating reports of the so-called breakthrough cases, which it said are expected with any vaccine. Out of the 1.2 million peop

Employers mandating employees be vaccinated in order to remain employed is a step too far. They've never mandated regular flu shots in order to be employed. COVID isn't going to be similar to smallpox where the vaccine is going to eradicate it if we just get people vaccinated. We haven't eradicated influenza despite flu shots being widely available since the 1940's. Yet now in 2021 with COVID some are arguing in support of coercing everyone to get the COVID vaccine in order to be employed, being able to travel, or basically return to pre-COVID way of life even though the vaccine won't eradica

How Do Big Media Outlets So Often "Independently Confirm" Each Other's Falsehoods?

As social media users discussed the controversy involving Carlson’s comments, the II Marine Expeditionary Force’s official account tweeted in response to one commenter, “Come back when you’ve served and been

Lawsuit against Auburn casts light inside secretive athletics department Updated Mar 09, 10:00 AM; Posted Mar 09, 9:15 AM By Joseph Goodman | jgoodman@al.com The living hell that Travis Thomas has endured over the past few years is almost too much to process. The nightmare started when his 32-year-old wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. It killed Ruby Thomas in six months, leaving Thomas with a toddler to raise alone. That was July of 2019. “Talk about your world being thrown upside down,” Thomas said. Ruby Thomas was a beloved teacher at Auburn H
