North Carolina Republicans Introduce Bill to Outlaw “Participation Trophies”

Republicans in North Carolina are moving to outlaw “Participation Trophies,” with State Sen. Timothy Moffitt introducing the "Eliminate Participation Trophies Act" (SB 430). The bill reads, "Youth sports or other youth recreation activities operated under the authority of a local government shall not include awards for participants based solely on their participation in the sport or other activity," the proposed law states. "Awards provided in connection with the activity, if any, shall be based on identified performance achievements.”

Terrific move, Repubs! Yet another instance of the Republican party being laser-focused on the issues that really make a difference in people’s lives. Wow, is this seriously the most pressing issue in North Carolina for elected officials to address? Come on, why this? Are there no little puppies to kick or no tiny kittens to drown? I guess we don’t even need to ask what they really think about organizations like the “Special Olympics.” That said, I get where they’re coming from on all this. After all, they don’t want voters to start taking them seriously and expect them to legislate something of real value to citizens.

My guess is North Carolina might be angling for that coveted “Worst Carolina” trophy? I mean, if they’re so opposed to “Participation Trophies,” then just what the hell do they think all their “Confederate monuments” are anyway? Are we to assume this means no more Confederate flags can fly in the state? After all, we only celebrate the “winners,” not the damn “losers.” Of course, having no Confederate flags will sure take all the fun out of their Monster Truck events. Oh well, I guess they’ll always have their "I Participated in the Jan 6th Insurrection" T-shirts to give them street cred.

Now let me get this straight, kids are getting shot in classrooms all the time, yet Republicans wanna save them from “Participation Trophies?” OK, but what I don’t understand is just how Republicans intend to enforce this law? I mean, will they have “monitors” in school classrooms and gymnasiums ready to confiscate "awards" if its decided the child really hasn’t done enough to deserve it? Will armed SWAT teams forcibly burst into students’ homes and bedrooms and yank these trophies off these kids’ desks and dressers? Only your “small government” Republican legislators know for sure, folks

Sen. Katie Britt Blames Biden for a Rape 20 Years Ago in Mexico

During what many are calling an absolutely insane rebuttal to President Biden’s “State of the Union” address, Sen. Katie Boyd Britt (R-Ala.), walked onto a studio sound stage (set up like an upper-middle-class kitchen) and began to link a harrowing account of a young woman’s sex trafficking and rape by a Mexican drug cartel, to Joe Biden’s immigration policies of the 2020s. She did this even though the abuse happened nearly 20 years ago and in Mexico - and at a time when Republican George W. Bush was president, not Joe Biden. The girl about whom Sen. Britt spoke - was thrown out of her house by her mother at age 12 and eventually “fell prey to a professional pimp.” There is no evidence that she was ever held by a drug cartel, as Katie claimed. In addition, the young victim testified that most of her clients for prostitution were foreigners visiting Mexico to have sex with underage girls. Okay, so now let me get this straight. A young Mexican female was thrown into prostituti

Nikki Haley Claims ‘America’s Never Been A Racist Country’

After causing quite a stir a few weeks ago when she told an audience member that the Civil War was fought over “States Rights,” refusing to even mention slavery, Republican Presidential hopeful Nikki Haley continued raising eyebrows again this week when Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade asked her if she thought the Republican Party was racist or if America was a “racist country.” Astonishingly, Haley immediately said, “No! We’re not a racist country, Brian! We’ve never been a racist country.” Wow! The new “female Mike Pence” just said what? That said, and in all fairness, she may have just raised an interesting point here. I mean, other than the slavery, repressive Jim Crow laws, the systematic slaughter and expropriation of Native Americans from their land, the segregation, the lynchings, the laws against interracial dating and marriage, discrimination in housing, education, and hiring, the negative and condescending portrayal of people of color in the media, minority vo

White House Calls Trump Property the Perfect G7 Meeting Location

White House Calls Trump Property the Perfect G7 Meeting Location: The White House and President Trump are raising eyebrows once again after they selected Donald Trump’s National Doral Resort Hotel as the “perfect location” for the next G7 summit while also suggesting President Trump plans to re-invite Russian President Vladimir Putin to the meeting. Well gee-whiz, what a lucky break for the Trump Resorts. I mean, who knew there was no other place in the entire United States that would be appropriate to hold a G7 summit other than a Trump property? Imagine that! Of course, at the rate Trump has been betraying all our friends and allies, by the time this conference actually rolls around - my guess is it’s likely only gonna be a G2 summit - with just Trump and Putin in attendance! https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com
