  • They could have decided not to go under the assumption they'd eventually get an invite. That could have been reported out. Just because they haven't received an invite doesn't make it fake news.

    Unless you're using the correct definition of fake news. That is, news you don't like. In which case, sure, it's fake news.

    Who gives a fuck if the Warriors don't visit the WH? I could give a fuck. The left wing is a bunch of spineless pussies.

    Someone makes up a story and then others print the story as factual without checking it for accuracy equals fake news:

    Per Free Beacon, they explain that this sports reporter, Downtown Josh Brown, started the rumor this morning and it went viral:

    NBA champion Warriors skipping the White House visit, as a unanimous team decision per reports

    — Downtown Josh Brown (@ReformedBroker) June 13, 2017

    Despite the lack of attribution, sports and politics websites seized on Brown’s tweet and ran with it. The New York Daily News, New York Magazine, Vogue, and Newsweek all spread the story.

    Then the Warriors issue a statement:
    “Today is all about celebrating our championship. We have not received an invitation to the White House, but will make this decision when and if necessary.”

    So there you have it. Social media rumors are now becoming big news even though they have no good sourcing whatsoever. I guess for these leftwing media outlets it falls under the category “too good to check”.

  • As the political storm brews a dust storm it will settle with mushroom clouds and death. I just hope I get to see my oldest grandkids drive my '56.

    What do you see in the future for mankind? Do you have hope or am I dillusional?

    OK, One Post, you were the first to respond to my first ever post on the Browns Board so you get a poetry prize. It’s my belief that most people will go through life never having a poem (either written or spoken) dedicated to them. Well, you are safe, cuz this one’s for you.

    I’ve been on to this guy for a while, true freaking genius and his politics should cause a ruckus on this board. I suggest reading the poem then visiting his Wikipedia page. I really can’t summarize what an amazing life Archibald MacLeish had.

    Archibald MacLeish (1982-1982)

    Here are a few high points:

    • Studied at Yale, member of Skull and Bones Society, graduate work at Harvard Law and edited Harvard Law Review
    • First an ambulance driver then an artillery captain in WWI
    • Left his law firm in the 20s and moved as an expatriate to France as an avant-garde poet, hung with Picasso, Hemingway, F Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, you name it.
    • Wrote for Fortune magazine upon his return to US, then was appointed the first Librarian of Congress by FDR. He completely reorganized the library and started the Poet Laureate Award process.
    • Assisted with the development of the new "Research and Analysis Branch" of the Office of Strategic Services, the precursor to the Central Intelligence Agency.
    • During World War II served as director of the War Department's Office of Facts and Figures and as the assistant director of the Office of War Information, and was heavily involved with propaganda.
    • Persecuted by J Edgar Hoover and Joseph McCarthy after the war for allegedly being a “fellow traveler” with communists/socialists (in spite of war service and after having helped create the CIA basically.)
    • 2 Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry and one for Drama. Talented guy.

    Here’s MacLeish’s take on your post, One Post:

    The End of the World

    Quite unexpectedly, as Vasserot

    The armless ambidextrian was lighting

    A match between his great and second toe,

    And Ralph the lion was engaged in biting

    The neck of Madame Sossman while the drum

    Pointed, and Teeny was about to cough

    In waltz-time swinging Jocko by the thumb,

    Quite unexpectedly the top blew off:

    And there, there overhead, there, there hung over

    Those thousands of white faces, those dazed eyes,

    There in the starless dark, the poise, the hover,

    There with vast wings across the cancelled skies,

    There in the sudden blackness the black pall

    Of nothing, nothing, nothing -- nothing at all.

  • good ole sheppie was an author and a poet back in the day.

    "still crazy after all these years?"

    shepwrite....the emotional ultra extremist liberal/college star qb fancier...

    "with leftwing lib hate,

    our world coming undone,

    tis ne'er too late

    .. lib prodigal son"

    Keeping the Golden State Warriors out of the White House would cut-down on security costs from theft assuming that the Golden State Warriors live their lives as dirty as they play ball. Take a deep breath kids.

    Another clue is that I wouldn't have said it about the Cleveland Cavaliers who, I assume, also employ a lot of negroes.

    whether or not Woody had communications with the russians, and consider the possibility

    that he may have obstructed poetic justice...completely impartially, of course...in my best impression

    of a liberal judge....

    and I won't flop, pull jerseys, knee Irving in the leg, hammer Lebronco in the head and claim foul and try to get

    two foul shots after claiming the warrior player was ...."headbutted" and pay off referees to act like wwf refs like Dishonesty Curry and the

    Big Actors did..

    The Cleveland Caveliers played the Golden State Warriors for the nba championship. Steve is a Cavs fan and was being quite jovial about some fake news that the Golden State team would visit the White House; our nations capital.

    You see, when a professional team wins a championship...most of them visit the White House and when it was Obammy in office he would suck them dry,
