"We're confident about what we're seeing in China as we drive long-term growth, and we have a long-term view about China," Donahoe said. "We've always taken a long-term view. We've been in China for over 40 years, still invested significant time and energy in China in the early days, and today, we're the largest sport brand there, and we're a brand of China and for China."

Nike is a Chinese company? That's just silly, next you'll be telling me that Apple and Disney and the NBA are all Chinese companies as well.

Re: Hungary Told To Repeal Law Banning LGBT Promotion To Children "Or Else Leave EU"

In these days of "silence is violence", it's not enough that you tolerate something, you must loudly and repeatedly praise it lest you be marked as a hater, a bigot, a racist, a homophobe, a deplorable. If you think you don't care, you will be made to care.

Hungary and Poland are a pain in the Euro butt...I don't want them to quit voluntarily. Make the Euro gang kick them out and then make the departure painful and unforgettable. They have a future...the Euros do not.

Just hope they take Slovakia with them. It's too good a country to be corrupted by the "woke" anarchists.

Humorless Democrat Marxists Are Terrified of the Babylon Bee: As Mr. T always said: "I PITY da fools!" But as I said above, the STUPID is STRONG in these ones...too.

Yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee, which is the body that has jurisdiction over antitrust law, wrote and voted on legislation to break up big tech firms Apple, Google, Amazon, and Facebook. AMAZED, I am!!!! See also: "LONNNG OVERDUE".

Oh June, it used to be one of my favorite months. Here in the Front Range of the Rockies, we generally enjoy mild temperatures, rain showers in the evening to cool us and water our crops, and prepare for the 100 degree days of July and August. Now the entire month is Pride Month. The rainbow in the sky, a reminder of the promise of the Lord, that he will not wipe us out with extreme weather, has been commandeered by LBGTQ etc.. That is the wiliness of the devil.

Now I am a sinner. I have no idea how my sins would compare to others; I head the word of the Lord: How you judge, so shall you be judged. I can see that acceptance of the gay lifestyle was not enough. We have entered the, you will be made to care, phase. I’m cognizant of the fact that Pride is one of the seven deadly sins. I also am reminded of the word of the Lord: "It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.“

Jesus my have been talking about children, or he may have been referring to new disciples, those new to the faith. However the message is clear, that those who corrupt the innocent, are going to be judged rather harshly.

So to the gay community, leave the children alone! Their lives are difficult enough, and are subjected to to much adult reality through the internet and television, without your constant need to sexualize them. Can’t they be innocent babes until they decide what they want? Why is that so frighteningly unnexceptable to you? Hungary, get out of the EU. Oh June, it used to be one of my favorite months.

Apologies for the mangled post. Stupid iPad!

It's okay.

If you post comments long enough, sooner or later everyone mangles a post.

My guess is that everyone except you will have forgotten you mangled a post in about two days.

Hungary's response should be: So long, EUweenies.

re 1910: The Summer of Our Content

He does a nice job dissecting the picture.

I remember a similar post where he was talking to an elderly Seattleite about an old picture of Seattle. The man thought he was in the baby carriage in the picture and as such was the last living person in the photo.

I saw that years and years ago.

George Orwell wrote a lesser known novel called "Coming Up For Air," based on the assertion that everything that was good about Western civilization was destroyed by World War I. It follows the life of a middle-aged Englishman right before World War II, and how he tried to recapture what his life was like before the Great War by going back to visit his hometown.

I listened to the Loury/Murray podcast on my walk today. Both great public intellectuals. They are a bit more worried about white backlash than I am, but I live in NH in gentle places, so I may not see it as often as they do.

"rudeau government unable to define the term 'woman'" Of course El Turdeau's government can't ; they prioritize diversity pver competence. To shove biological women under the bus is just a hiccup in their push to full dominance.

"Mangled" posts are more interesting.
