What really irks the extremist news outlet is that Time magazine honored the reporter last month as one of the world’s most influential people…Kansas City Chief kicker Harrison Butker keeps getting kicked in the butt for his commencement speech urging women to embrace the role of homemaker and wife. The Kansas City Star published an op-ed over the weekend suggesting Butker should get the boot and be replaced by a female placekicker. However, Fox News has risen to Butker’s defense by claiming that a significant number of college-educated women are supporting the embattled athlete on social media.

Attempts to search Amazon for “Harrison Butker,” the NFL kicker who is somehow controversial because he is religious and espouses traditional values, yield results for “Harrison Butler” Considering there is no “Harrison Butler” of note and sales of Harrison Butker’s merchandise has been popular, we assume Amazon is playing the woke game of “Hide the Christian Kicker”.

Get Ready for More Rigged Presidential Debates

The problem with most of these debates is that liberal “journalists” masqueraded as impartial moderators. Thus, previous presidential debate moderators have included Lester Holt of NBC News, Gwen Ifill of PBS, Martha Raddatz of ABC News, Anderson Cooper of CNN, and Kristen Welker of NBC News. None of these moderators can be considered fair.

The magazine once revered by manly men everywhere placed media personality Gayle King on one of its covers to celebrate 60 years of its iconic Swimsuit Issue. Granted, that’s a step up from putting a man on the cover, but still, it misses the mark considerably.

Greetings! The right has leaped to the defense of Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker. In a commencement speech at conservative Benedictine College last week, Butker urged women to embrace the role of homemaker and wife.

Inside, Sims promises to reveal lessons he learned about faith and politics while cruising through the halls of right wing power. His first book, “Nest of Vipers,” published in 2019, received a positive review from yours truly for its fast-paced insider account of the first two years of the Trump administration including a well-deserved devastating portrait of Sean Spicer…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
