Where is Marshawn Lynch’s father? You can probably guess the answer, since it’s sooooo typical in today’s NFL. He’s absent and always has been. And he’s serving his latest prison sentence. This time it’s a 24-year stay in the big house.

So, now, the Super Bowl is over, and the New England Patriots won. And Lynch’s Seattle Seahawks weren’t victorious. But Lynch, the Seahawks running back who answered all media questions with, “I’m just here so I won’t get fined,” lost something far more important. Like many NFL players today, he had no father in his life. His father was an absentee sperm donor and drug addict who was in and out of prison doing time for crimes he committed to get drug money. Sadly, this is the norm in Black America and quickly becoming more and more the norm in White America, which slavishly follows the trends in the hip-hop culture, constantly pimped in the media and pop culture as the thing to do. It’s sad, and it’s taking a tremendous negative toll on America in every aspect.

Marshawn Lynch is playing himself in a movie about his life, titled “Family First the Marshawn Lynch Story,” and a list of roles to featured in the film has a noticeable omission. There is no father. Lynch’s dad, Maurice Sapp, is serving a 24-year sentence for burglary and been convicted six times, twice on felonies — grand theft and burglary — according to records reviewed by USA TODAY Sports. He is absent from the movie that’s in post production, just as he was absent from much of Lynch’s life. . . . Read the rest of this entry »

Well, despite my long-term criticism of New England Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady, he does have one very redeeming quality: his ties to Israel. And it’s all due to Pats owner Bob Kraft and his late wife, Myra, strong supporters of Israel. Also, good to know that the Krafts promoted understanding and respect toward Christians and Christianity.

Tom Brady in Israel . . .

The commitment of Patriots owner Robert Kraft, and his late wife Myra, to supporting Jewish causes in the United States and in Israel is apparent to all who have come to contact with them. . . . The Krafts turned their attention to philanthropy early on, giving more than $100 million to a range of causes. To promote Christian-Jewish understanding, their family foundation has endowed chairs in Jewish studies at Boston College and Holy Cross College, and a chair in Christian Studies at Brandeis University. At Kraft’s alma mater Columbia, they funded the Kraft Center for Jewish Living and the university’s athletic fields.

The Krafts have contributed to Israeli society and economy in a number of ways. They were instrumental in developing the sister city relationship between Haifa and Boston. Myra Kraft was especially interested in the fate of Israel’s Ethiopian community, and supported after-school and absorption program for Ethiopian immigrants to Israel. . . .

Last year, I told you about Seattle Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll’s nutty embrace of 9/11 Trutherism. But it gets worse. As the coach for one of two teams in today’s Super Bowl, he proclaimed that he not only believes that 9/11 was an inside job perpetrated by the U.S. Government, but that he’s an anti-war leftist in the same vein as Michael Moore.

Pete Carroll is a conspiracy theorist, at least that is how the conspiracy theory goes. And it is one that has gained the Seattle Seahawks coach an unlikely following from the “9/11 Truth” movement in the lead-up to his attempt to win back-to-back Super Bowls. Two years ago, Carroll met with former Army chief of staff and four-star general Peter Chiarelli and, according to Deadspin citing “sources,” brought up many popular conspiracy theories concerned with the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, on the World Trade Center and quizzed Chiarelli about their veracity.

Below is an interesting graphic from yesterday’s Wall Street Journal, showing how much the raw materials in common Super Bowl party fare really cost. Obviously, prices also include labor, electricity, equipment, rent, and other variable and fixed costs, as well as profit. But commodity prices are down. Yet, in the Obamaconomy, prices haven’t fallen. Imagine how much these items would cost if taxes were lower, there were fewer government regulations, and unions and minimum wage didn’t come into the mix. AND if there were no ObamaCare.

I really liked three of the new movies debuting at theaters this weekend, so things are starting to get better.

* “A Most Violent Year“: Shoulda been called, “All the Bad Guys Are Jews.” This movie was heavily pimped at the end of last year for awards–Oscars, local film critics groups, etc. I didn’t vote for it because, while I liked one of its messages, I couldn’t help but notice that every single bad guy in this movie is markedly Jewish. From the loan sharks to the mobster competitors who hire thugs, every single bad guy in this movie is Jewish. And, of course, the hero is a Hispanic immigrant who wants to do everything right and by the book. You see, in Hollywood, all of the minorities in the barnyard are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Oscar Isaac (whose family in real life is Cuban and Guatemalan but he says he took the stage surname of Isaac in tribute to his father’s “Jewish side”) plays Abel Morales, a Cuban immigrant and self-made man who owns a heating oil business. It’s 1981, and he is successful, making a lot of money, and driving his competitors out of business in New York. So, his chief competitor, named “Arnold Klein” and played by Jewish actor (and obvious, desperate self-hater) Glenn Fleshler, hires gunmen to attack his truck drivers and hijack their fuel. The union is pressuring Abel to allow his drivers to carry guns. But Abel is opposed and doesn’t want to resort to violence. Read the rest of this entry »

I WON’T buy KIND brand food and snacks. And if you support Israel and oppose Palestinian Islamic terrorism, then you shouldn’t either. Ditto if you don’t like the United States, under Obama AND Bush, getting involved in Israeli politics. And here’s why: Every Single Time you buy a KIND snack, you are supporting anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, pro-Muslim propaganda and activism.

Over the years, I’ve been meaning to write about why I refuse to buy KIND brand food and snacks. And now is the time. If you’ve been following the controversy over “One Voice,” the anti-Israel, far-left group to which the Obama State Department gave oodles of money (so did Bush’s State), then you need to remember the name, Daniel Lubetzky. A self-hating, far-left, anti-Israel Jew, he is the founder and President of One Voice, as I noted years ago on this site. AND he is the founder and President–and LARGEST individual shareholder of KIND Healthy Snacks. Every time you buy KIND food, you are funding his anti-Israel, far-left efforts, including “One Voice’s” attempts to unseat Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and get a left-wing, pro-Palestinian Prime Minister elected in his stead.

I first wrote about One Voice just over a decade ago on this site, when the Bush Administration helped finance One Voice and transformed it from a fringe, unknown pet project of Lubetzky’s into a force in Israeli and Palestinian politics, along with help from FOX News and Bill O’Reilly, both of whom pimped the group endlessly. At the time, President Bush and his lefty, pro-Palestinian Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice a/k/a Condi Clueless, in the original Arab Spring, were pushing for elections in Gaza, just as they pushed for them in Iraq and Lebanon, etc. That was after they pressured Israel to pull out of Gaza and give this historically Jewish land (but for a brief occupation by Egypt) to the Palestinians.

I would say it’s hilarious the way the late Saudi King Abdullah is being eulogized. But it’s not funny. It’s sad and disgusting. That’s because the truth of it all is the exact opposite. And because Americans–especially the news media, including FOX News–have a short memory. Here’s what I remember about King Abdullah, which apparently everyone else forgot.

I remember the King Abdullah whose most treasured possession was a dagger given by Adolf Hitler to the Saudis as a token of Jew-killing.

I remember when then-Crown-Prince Abdullah visited then-President George W. Bush at his Crawford, Texas ranch in April 2005. At the time, Abdullah was already the de facto Saudi King, as his half-bro, King Fahd, was unable to function and near death as a result of a stroke. As you may recall, Abdullah insisted that no women be in the air traffic control tower OR on the tarmac at the small Waco, Texas airport. This is the guy who is so orthodox in his Islamic views that no females were allowed to be present. And, in a stark violation of U.S. civil rights laws, President Bush and his minions complied. And Bush smooched him like they were lovers at a “Frankie Goes to Hollywood” reunion concert. Read the rest of this entry »

As you may know, today is the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp, and many around the world designate it, “International Holocaust Remembrance Day.” In light of that, yesterday’s Wall Street Journal did a front page story on Rainer Hoess, the grandson of Rudolf Hoess, Commandant of Auschwitz and one of the Nazis’ most brutal and wicked mass murderers. The grandson says he’s done and continues to do penance for his grandfather’s sins. But he’s also on the wrong side of Islam and fails to connect the dots. And, unfortunately, the politically correct Simon Wiesenthal Center is applauding him for opposing anti-Islam marches.

When Auschwitz commemorates the 70th anniversary of its liberation on Jan. 27, the ceremonies will include an unlikely attendee: the grandson of the camp commandant who was held responsible for 1.1 million deaths there. Rainer Hoess, 49 years old, has grappled with the curse of his bloodline since his teens. He has tattoos of a Star of David and of the Auschwitz numbers of several survivors he has met. . . . Mr. Hoess plans to meet survivors and circulate a petition against extremism and neo-Nazism. There will be no mistaking his family legacy: At camp’s edge stands the wooden gallows where his grandfather, Rudolf Hoess, was hanged in 1947 for his crimes. Read the rest of this entry »

Don’t forget that New England Patriots Quarterback, crybaby, and serial babydaddy Tom Brady is an avowed liberal Democrat and previously announced future plans to run for office. The deflated balls guy and Superbowler wants to perhaps run as a Democrat for the U.S. Senate from California, where he and supermodel wife/shrew Gisele Bundchen have a gazillion-dollar mega-mega-mega-mansion.

As I noted last week on this site, the only deflated balls that are important in America are those of our current President and the collective “balls” of this country. We have none. But given Tom Brady’s ball-deflater status and political ambitions, I came up with some appropriate campaign slogans and asked our friend, Jedi Master of Photoshop David Lunde, to produce some campaign posters. Here they are. He also made one for physicist scholar Bill Belichick.

Looks like Brady and his serial-cheater coach Bill Belichick got away with deflating balls . . . for now. With Belichick blaming the deflated footballs on “climate change” (which strangely didn’t deflate the opposing team’s footballs) and Brady posing like a deer in the headlights, it’s kind of amazing they got away with it. But they did. And no matter what your parents taught you as a kid, cheaters do prosper. Otherwise, how is Barack Obama President?

While Holocaust-deniers will persist (and most of them know the Holocaust happened, but they hate Jews so they deny it), tonight’s HBO film, “Night Will Fall” is heretofore unseen stark proof of what happened in Nazi Germany in the camps. Most of the footage, used at the Nuremberg Trials, was taken at Bergen Belsen, where my Holocaust-survivor maternal grandparents were inmates and were liberated by the British. Some other footage is from Auschwitz. It was edited and directed by the late great Alfred Hitchcock, but it’s sadly not fiction. The film–since redone/redirected and with modern-day narration included–which debuts at 9:00 p.m. Eastern tonight. Here’s a description of it by Wall Street Journal TV critic and editorial board member, Dorothy Rabinowitz:

In April 1945, British army units entered the large civilian camp in Germany about which they had been warned, by the German military itself. The inmates had typhus, which could spread if the prisoners escaped. British army units nonetheless entered the camp, and there British army camera crews recorded, in unflinching detail, all that they saw for two weeks. The result was the beginning enterprise of a film titled “German Concentration Camps Factual Survey.” Bergen-Belsen, in the heart of Germany, and not far from beautifully pastoral surroundings, was the dumping ground for what remained of the Jews after the Germans had tried to rid themselves of inmates of other camps as the Allies closed in, by killing as many as possible in the last days of the war. The British army photographers’ pictures of Bergen-Belsen—insistently focused on every detail of the heaps of dead, the details of faces, the angles of bodies, their numbers beyond comprehension, piled in ditches—remain, in their clarity, the starkest, most explicit of all the photographic evidence of the reality of the camps.
