Chris, I enjoyed your sports perspective. You ruined it by exposing your political views. Good luck with all. Unsubscribed. Just as normal media, all negative about Trump, all positive about the socialist. You say not. Give it time. When socialism creeps in, and you’re asking why you can’t have a plastic straw. You’re wrong about a lot. You’ll find out later in life. Again, good luck to you. Stick to sports. I really enjoyed your perspective up to the politics.

So, I’ve lost Slimbeauharpo4687, who created his YouTube account in 2012, hasn’t posted a single video, and doesn’t have a single follower.
However will I go on?
Seriously, my guess is, if I’d been writing columns praising Donald Trump, I wouldn’t be getting the “stick to sports” line from this Slimbeau guy, that instead it would be effusive praise for me daring to stand up to the MSM to “tell it like it is,” whatever that means.
(Generally, saying stupid, racist things for the sole purpose of “owning the left.”)
But when you run afoul of the MAGAs, suddenly, you’re a socialist.
Funny thing, chuckers like this Slimbeau guy can’t even define socialist, except that whatever it is, it doesn’t include Social Security or Medicare – I note that, because Trump’s support tends toward the geriatric, and, odd, but I don’t see any of his senior MAGAs refusing their benefits, out of principle.
Socialism for me, but not for thee.
I guess I’m supposed to feel bad, per Slimbeau, because I’m using the 10 million readers Google Analytics tells me I have, the 92,000 Facebook followers that we have, the growing presence we have on YouTube, all of which makes me a good living, to also advocate for people running for office who seem to me to have our best interests in mind.
I mean, I could pull a Michael Jordan or Patrick Mahomes and just keep silent, because “Republicans buy sneakers, too,” in their case, and in mine, “Republicans click on the interwebs, too.”
Anybody who knows me even a sliver knows I’m not wired that way.
Bad news for you, Slimbeau, but no, I’m not your sports monkey, here just to entertain you, to dance around saying or doing anything important so as not to offend you, a wind-up doll that says comforting things about football, basketball, whatever, then sits in the corner until you hit the crank to get me going again about the latest or next game.
No doubt, I’m “wrong about a lot,” but what I’m not wrong about starts with this: that we as a country need to look out for each other.
The nonsense about immigrants eating dogs, that’s getting MAGAs to call in bomb threats to schools and city offices, that has to stop.
The threats to tens of millions of Americans that we’re going to take away their health insurance without more than a concept of a plan for how to replace what they have now, that has to stop.
Half the women in this country live in states where they can’t make their own decisions about their healthcare.
We’re hearing talk about abolishing the Department of Education, school systems are banning books, states are pushing whitewashed history lessons.
A presidential candidate seems to think himself, and definitely wants you to believe, that kids are getting free sex-change surgeries at school.
“Stick to sports”?
I’ll tell you what: if I’m choosing anything to “stick to,” it ain’t sports.
We have a choice to make over the next few weeks, leading up to Nov. 5.
One side wants to help small businesses that employ half the private sector, so that more of us can build a better life for ourselves.
The other side puts $524 billion in taxes in the form of tariffs that middle-class folks end up paying, not China or any other country, like that side claims, and they’ll put 600,000 people out of work, while giving billionaires $150 billion a year in tax cuts, and acting like $15 billion a year in child tax credits somehow breaks the bank.
If you somehow find out later in life that this is all OK, something’s wrong with where you are later in life.
The one side thinks we need to back Ukraine in its defense of its land and its people from the invasion led by Vladimir Putin, a dictator who has his eyes on Eastern Europe next.
The other side just wants the war to be over, and is willing to give Putin whatever the hell he wants, which, in case you didn’t know this already, doesn’t end with Eastern Europe.
Again, if Slimbeau, who is later in life than a lot of us, from his telling, thinks this is OK, I don’t know, maybe he needs to sit this one out.
It seems like his big concern is plastic straws, anyway.
Buy ‘em in bulk, is my advice, Slimbeau, and stick to yelling at people to get off your lawn.
