Outrage is on parade again. Billie Jean King opened her piehole on the Serena Williams US Open tantrum. And guess what? It’s all about being oppressed as a woman, no wait — a black person. No, wait, wait … a black woman. Or whatever gets the most victim status today or tomorrow. Or gets her on ESPN, MSNBC, CBS.

The other day, a mob of students defaced a new mural at the University of Manchester. The mural depicted the poem “If” by the racist imperialist misogynist Rudyard Kipling, so of course they painted over it with a poem by Maya Angelou.

Serena Williams finds this poem to be deeply inspirational, as this video shows (she takes a liberty with the final line, but I like it, sister):

Hosted by David French, Greg Corombos

David French of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America discuss the resignation of three CNN reporters after the redaction of a deceptive story on a top Trump advisor. They also express frustration over the tactics of Senate Republicans as the debate over the new healthcare bill escalates.Then, they decry the double standard, as it provides little coverage of the FBI’s bank fraud investigation of Bernie Sanders’ wife. And they defend John McEnroe’s controversial comments on NPR that while Serena Williams is the best women’s player of all time, she would struggle greatly on the men’s tour.
