Super Bowl LI: Hillary Clinton Plots Revenge – Townhall
|
Posted: Jan 30, 2017 12:01 AM
Beware: Hillary Clinton loves that you love footballand the fact that Super Bowl LI is on pace to be 2017s biggest live TV event fits perfectly into her plot to exact revenge on President Trump.
Around 140 B.C., corrupt Roman politicians found a way to placate their impoverished citizens into surrendering their inalienable right to voting privileges and political representationin exchange for discounted entertainment and food. As a result, the Roman poet Juvenal coined the famous term bread and circuses.
Make no mistake: bread and circuses are making a comebackironically in the country founded upon the same upstanding principles Rome held before Rome fellthe United States of America.
Republican, Democrat or Independentit makes no differencewe have all succumbed to this ploy. A 2016 Harris poll finds that football remains Americas favorite professional sport, and continues to grow more fans in contrast to Americas second-favorite sport, baseball.
So, Americans call football their favorite sport and happilycold beer in one hand, greasy pizza slice in the othersubsidize billion-dollar NFL stadiums and multi-million dollar NFL salaries as they themselves struggle with groceries and rent. If theres one thing low-income and high-income American families commonly prioritizeits a big-screen television.
Libraries and bookstores, meanwhilewhich offer truly affordable entertainment that also happens to enrich the mind and soulare struggling. The average American Millennial reads voluntarily for less than 10 minutes per day according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Even as Pew reports that the middle class is no longer a majority in America and the majority of Millennials in socialist Canada are homeowners in contrast to only 36% of Millennials in (more-socialist?) Americathe NFLs Oakland Raiders convinced the state of Nevada to raise taxes to build and subsidize their teams brand new $1.9 billion stadium on 62 acres of prime Las Vegas real estate by 2020.
To be fair, the Raiders do plan to pay rent. A whopping $1 per year. Yep, thats one dollar every 365 days.
Yes, we just elected a populist to the White House. And President Trump has used his first days in office to keep his promises of slashing regulations and stopping federal bloat. But you and I are both guilty ofor, at the very least, vulnerable toClintons plan to slow Trumps strides. And theres no better time for us to wake up than on the day when she most hopes to lull us to sleep: Super Bowl Sunday.
Hillarys Plot to Pummel Trump
Shes no sports fan (after all, she recently said she hoped the Chicago Cubs would win the Super Bowl when they were up to win baseballs World Series). But Hillary Clinton is a fan of using sportsas did the ancient Romansto prey on the good intentions of an uninformed public.
I am too young to recall this personallybut First Lady Hillary Clinton chose January 26 of 1992Super Bowl Sundayto go on CBS 60 Minutes following the game to make her most notorious public remarks, sitting on a couch alongside her philandering husband, then-President Bill Clinton.
Im not sitting here, some little woman standing by my man Im sitting here because I love him, and I respect him, and I honor what hes been through Clinton gushed.
Bad Boy Billy had been through quite a lot indeedafter court evidence showed he sexually assaulted innocent women, most notably a White House intern young enough to be his daughter. And being a supportive wifewho happened to have her own political ambitionsHillary had Bills back.
Fast-forward to 2017. TIME reports that Hillary wasted no time in [placing] a phone call after the election to tell the notorious henchman of George SorosDavid Brockthat she would advise him to sign up some top-notch litigators who would do pro bono work against Trump. Specifically, Brock tells Time: She spoke about trying to construct a suit that would get you discovery on potential or alleged contacts between the Trump organization and the Russian government.
She didnt mean it when she said we should give Trump an open mind and a chance to lead in her concession speech.
Wheres Hillary?
Photographer Jim Lo Scalzo captured the moment when Donald J. Trump emerges from the U.S. Capitol building on Inauguration Day. Trump is caught mid-stride as he steps onto a long aisle of blue-and-red carpet to be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States.
Some pictures are worth a thousand words. In this photo, which consumes a two-page spread in TIME, you see the head of every notable politicianRepublican and Democrat alikecraned backward, watching Trump emerge. Governors and senators straincell phones in handto snap a photo of their new president. Hillary stands out in this sea like a Wheres Waldo? aberration. Her head faces forwardin the exact opposite direction. Her eyes are set on the empty podium that could have been hersand in momentswill be his.
Thirty-one million TV viewers tuned in for Trumps inauguration according to Nielsensizable to be surebut over 79 million fewer than will tune into Super Bowl LI to watch the New England Patriots battle the Atlanta Falcons.
As I wrote last week, hundreds of thousands of American women took to the streets to protest Trumpbut these same women didnt show up in droves to the polls to vote. Nor, apparently, did these women watch the presidential debates to learn what policies Trump actually embraced. None of the three presidential debate audiences (84, 69 and 71 million respectively) bested the Super Bowl.
Were not paying attention to politics because, like the Romans, were prioritizing sports above all. And thats the way Hillary likes it.
We Scorn Brady, Let Hillie Off Hook
When Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was accused of deflating footballs for a 2015 AFC title game, Americans were outraged. Brady was publicly scorned as if he were a wanton criminal who had endangered our countrys national security. He was suspended for the first four games of the NFL season.
When Clinton actually endangered our national security by using a private server to send and receive classified information over an unsecure connectionand then deleted the evidenceand lied about it, nothing happened. Literally. Because Americans by-and-large didnt know. When voters did find outa few days before the 2016 presidential electionit was several years too late.
Four Americans died in Benghazi because of Hillarys incompetenceand she was still given an opportunity to run our country for four years. What is wrong with us as a people that we will punish and slander an entertainerbut willingly underwrite the corrupt lifestyle of a politician who endangers our country by her malfeasance?
Have we gone mad?
What are Hillary Clinton's people complaining about with respect to the F.B.I. Based on the information they had she should never have been allowed to run guilty as hell Trump tweeted on January 13 in response to Clintons pouting and shouting that she lost the election because an FBI probe into her misconduct stopped her momentum.
Studies show that barely one in three Americans can name the three branches of U.S. government (executive, judicial and legislative) or has a solid grasp on how much our government truly spends on entitlement programs. Most Americans would be less hard-pressed to name the Patriots quarterback (Brady) and why hes associated with a matter called Deflategate.
Enjoy the Super Bowl. Resist the temptation, however, to be swept away by the sensational entertainment to such an extent that you become vulnerable to Hillarys plot to pummel President Trump. We cant let America fall for the same reason Rome fell: bread and circuses.
