Two of West Virginia's top three scorers --- Tucker DeVries and Amani Hansberry --- were unavailable for today's game at Kansas due to injuries.
The Mountaineers just won at Allen Fieldhouse for the first time EVER.
Anarchy?
Nope. Just College Basketball.
When a lifelong Democrat, from an iconic Democrat family, who tried to run as a Democrat, and who’s running mate was a Democrat, warns you about the dangers of voting for the Democrat in this election, you should probably listen.
VP Harris’s Democratic Party would be unrecognizable to my father and uncle and I cannot reconcile it with my values.
The Democratic Party of RFK and JFK was the party of civil liberties and free speech. VP Harris‘s is the party of censorship, lockdowns, and medical coercion.
Kennedy Democrats were anti-war. Kamala‘s is riddled with neocon warmongers.
The RFK/JFK dems were allies of Main Street, cops, firefighters, and working people. VP Harris’s is the Party of Big Tech, Big Pharma and Wall Street.
My dad and uncle’s party was the champion of voting rights and fair elections. VP Harris’s is the party of lawfare, disenfranchisement, and the coronation of its candidates by corporate donors and party elites.
I’ve used our nation’s courts to prosecute corporations who hurt Black Americans. VP Harris used our nation’s courts to mercilessly prosecute Black Americans and exploit them for their labor.
My father and uncle prided themselves on their skills at debate and their ability to articulate a coherent vision for our country. VP Harris is scared to debate and can’t survive an unscripted interview. Instead of outlining a vision, she relies on middleschool tactics – memes, forged headlines, infantile slogans (Joy!) and name calling (“Republicans are weird.“)
I’ve spent years battling government corruption and lies. VP Harris spent years gaslighting Americans about the health of our Commander in Chief.
I have no plans to endorse Kamala Harris for President. I do have a plan to defeat her.
Rarely do I talk to someone who says they disagree with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on policy.
It's always, "but he can't win. It's Trump or Biden."
The idea that we are so enslaved by the two-party system that we MUST vote for a lesser of two evils is entrenched in the American psyche, a product of corporate brainwashing.
Throughout history, we've had a few special opportunities to disrupt the system - but never believed in ourselves enough to vote when it counts.
In 1992, Ross Perot had the poll numbers to beat Bush and Clinton. We know now that if everyone had voted based on their polling preferences, we would've had our first independent President since, well, George Washington.
Today we stand at a crossroads in American history. For the first time in decades, we have an even greater chance of breaking the two-party system.
Joe Biden is out of the race entirely. It's a matter of time before we have a replacement.
And Trump still loses to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in a landslide, according to polls.
The question is: can Americans change their mindset?
Will we realize we are truly free?
Or are we too disillusioned to rescue ourselves from the corporate stranglehold on our politics?
This is our chance... if only we dare to seize it.
I commend President Biden for stepping down. His infirmities were evident to any unbiased observer from the beginning. It was this progressive deterioration — and his abandonment of Democratic Party principles — that prompted me to enter the race and ensure American voters had a viable, vigorous alternative to Donald Trump.
Yet the response of the DNC was to try and hide President Biden’s degeneration from the American public and disable democracy to ram him through to his party’s nomination.
Many Americans fear that the same DNC elites are about to rig the nominating process again to get a monumentally unpopular vice president to step into President Biden’s shoes.
I call on the Democratic Party to return to its traditional commitment to democracy and exemplify it with an open process. Instead of anointing a candidate hand-picked by DNC elites, the party should use neutral polling to identify the candidate who can best beat Donald Trump. The delegates should then select a nominee based on this information.
If they had done this to begin with, I would not have had to leave the Democratic Party.
