Ask yourself how you should really feel about a President that is all too willing to publicly attack and criticize athletes peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights while offering little to no criticism for neo nazis and white supremacists exercising theirs.

The debt and the humanitarian issue are two different things. People come first ... or they should.

Statehood = irrelevant.

Nice ad hominem trying to disparage "talking points." If you don't like what I'm saying because you dislike other sources you heard it from, thats not a valid argument.

I'm referencing what the local officials are saying - they're likely have the most accurate perspective on the conditions there.

In any case, 45 seems to think it's more important to launch a tweetstorm to blame the victims than to express sympathy for them or hold a news conference to outline what's being done...

Let me know when you're going to PR to help out. Or at least how you'd do it better, instead of complaining about what other people are doing.

PR - $70 billion in debt and crumbling infrastructure before the last two hurricanes.

1000 Nautical miles from Florida to Puerto Rico.

Currently six commercial cargo ships transporting commodities 24 hours a day.

Non-stop air bridge from FL to PR delivering over 33K meals and clean water every / day.

Personnel from three Naval bases, a half dozen more ships the Air-force, Cost Guard and 1000 federal workers all working to save PR.

That's just the federal effort. A couple hundred charities and NGO's also pitching in.

Who you gonna believe, the communist at Slate and Rollingstone or the Governor of PR and Mayor of it's capital.

JOHN YANG: Governor, are you getting all the aid you need or getting it fast enough from the states?

GOV. RICARDO ROSSELLO: First of all, we are very grateful for the administration. They have responded quickly. The president has been very attentive to the situation, personally calling me several times.

FEMA and the FEMA director have been here in Puerto Rico twice. As a matter of fact, they were here with us today, making sure that all the resources in FEMA were working in conjunction with the central government.

We have been working together. We have been getting results. The magnitude of this catastrophe is enormous. This is going to take a lot of help, a lot of collaboration. So, my call is to congressmen and congresswomen to take action quickly and conclusively with an aid package for Puerto Rico.

This morning, the mayor of San Juan, Carmen Yulín Cruz, echoed Rossello’s sentiments. As NBC reports, Cruz called into CNN to share “harrowing details of rescue efforts in her city,” and to “[praise] the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s ‘great job’ and ‘logistics help.’”

I blocked a certain person here because (among other things) he thought it was funny to direct radiation jokes at me shortly after the Fukushima tsunami and nuclear power plant disaster. Funny ol' liberals....

Consider the enormity of the task of just collecting and loading enough commodities to supply an Island of 3.5 million people over 1000 miles from the nearest port large enough for a cargo ship to dock.

Then distributing those commodities to people in the middle of the Island, where roads were bad before this disaster.

Pretty self-righteous and arrogant to complain about the people actually doing the hard work of saving people from behind a keyboard.

The MSM doesn't explain these facts or what Trump is doing to help PR. All they do is invent negative stories to demonize Trump and get their lefties all worked up.

It seems political narrative is more important than truth to most of media.

While DNC whines about Russia!!

China’s ‘Magic Weapons’: Influence Operations Subverting Foreign Governments
Report says Beijing sharply increases overseas efforts to sway governments under Xi Jinping

http://freebeacon.com/national-secu...ce-operations-subverting-foreign-governments/
And that's just one story of the foreign influence China is exerting around the world.

They started about 30-35 years ago by going to Africa by bribing the local leaders with all kinds of gifts like building them palaces, opening Swiss Banks accounts for them with a hefty sum of money, free trips to all over the world and in exchange got fabulous contracts for exploring mines, oil fields, agricultural projects, construction of railways, dams, schools, roads, buildings and other infrastructure.

The Chinese would then send thousands of engineers and construction workers to Africa to build these projects. The vast majority of materials like steel, bricks, cement, electrical wiring and fixtures etc. all came from China.

They even sent cooks, chefs and Chinese food from China to feed the enormous quantity of Chinese workers in these projects, who didn't appreciate any other food except theirs.

The local African population would complain that a very tiny % of jobs were reserved for them and those were always the worst, dirtiest and most dangerous.

When the local population complained to the local leaders (that had been bribed by the Chinese) they were told to keep quiet or else...

The Chinese were very smart to the point of suggesting to the leaders they had bribed, that they (Chinese) would build Soccer stadiums for the population for free, to keep the population happy. A small price to pay to try and keep a good part of the population and all their leaders happy.

Another thing is, that a lot of their infrastructure projects were done using shoddy materials, resulting in some buildings becoming uninhabitable because of the danger they represented, roads getting damaged soon after being constructed, because they used a very thin layer of tar, mines and oil field production not giving a sh*it about environmental pollution, etc. etc.

And that's just Africa. The Chinese are all over the world and their economic + political + military influence is growing all the time... much more than the Russians, that the MSM and Liberals are obsessing about.

But I'm sure the MSM will someday in the future will suddenly discover that China is actually the Elepha... I mean Dragon in the room and it's breathing a lot of fire.

Anyone besides me think college athletes should be able to accept endorsements? Coaches, schools make millions from them, why not just pay the player in an honest transaction.

I wonder if he's the same "not so funny ol' liberal" that I blocked a couple years ago?

NFL brass must be getting worried.
Steelers owner Art Rooney II sent out a letter to fans on Monday explaining the disrespectful actions.. but not apologizing.

To Steelers Nation:

I want to reach out to you, the members of Steelers Nation, based on what I believe is a misperception about our players’ intentions in not taking the field for the National Anthem in Chicago. The intentions of Steelers players were to stay out of the business of making political statements by not taking the field. Unfortunately, that was interpreted as a boycott of the anthem – which was never our players’ intention.

Our players come from many different backgrounds and are united by what it means to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are active in their communities and participate regularly in events designed to give back to those communities. And they appreciate the support they get from Steelers fans around the country and here at home.
I also know that our players have tremendous respect for the members of our military services, including their teammate Alejandro Villanueva. There was never any desire on the part of our players to show disrespect for our service members.

Yesterday, I received an email from a Steelers fan who said tell the players to just play football. That is exactly what they wanted to do. They wanted their sole focus to be on playing the game, while also coming together as a unified team.

The main thing we can do is learn from this and strive to come together remaining unified as a football team. I believe we are capable of accomplishing this with the support of our fans.
Steelers Nation is made up of the best fans in the National Football League. We appreciate your continued support of our players, coaches and staff.

Sincerely,

Art Rooney, II

Its because 99.x percent of college athletes are not at an endorsement level. All scholarship athletes are completely taken care of for four years.

Its totally against the reason they are welcomed to play at the school

and this is about paying a kid to pick a school or agent

If you have the skills, you should be free to make a living from them. 99% of Athletes aren't good enough for a scholarship either.

Most kids go home with a participation trophy.. that doesn't mean they don't benefit from playing. Winning requires hard work.
