The WHO Panics Meat Eaters

Posted on by Bobby Broadway

The World Health Organization aka WHO announced the results of a study that links eating processed/unprocessed meat to increasing the risk of cancer. Well to be exact the findings concerning unprocessed meat was not as definitive.

Well THANK YOU WHO, you fuckers just filled my Facebook and Instagram timelines with a bunch of vegans and their elitist eating habits!

No disrespect to my vegan friends, but ENOUGH already. It’s not a shocker that a heavy diet of red meat is not good for you, but at the same time it does not mean I have to make the leap to being a vegan either. I am thankful for ALL of my vegan friends for their willingness to discuss their vegan ways. It has honestly made me take a look at my meat-eating ways (pause if applicable), and I have worked to improve my diet but like anything else in life it’s about moderation.

Researchers found evidence that eating a 50-gram portion of processed meat daily (about one hot dog) can increase a person’s risk of colorectal cancer by 18 percent. – Vox

Now if the WHO was telling me that eating a 50-gram portion of processed meat daily would increase a person’s risk of cancer by 60-70%, then ok I probably would be concerned.

If we are not supposed to fat shame, slut shame, etc… Then don’t meat shame me!!!!

So can we all calm down? Meat eaters are not going anywhere, and bacon will be on my plate some time this week.

President Obama Explains That #BlackLivesMatter Doesn’t Mean All Other Lives Don’t

Posted on by Bobby Broadway

Honestly it’s beyond frustrating that people either cannot understand or refuse to see what the #BlacksLivesMatter movement is about. The most common response are those who will say, “Why say Black Lives Matter and not just say All Lives Matter…”

Well, today President Obama weighed in with his thoughts while attending a forum hosted by the Marshall Project

[Black Lives Matter] started being lifted up as these folks are opposed to police, and they’re opposed to cops, and all lives matter. So the notion was that somehow saying black lives matter was reverse racism or suggesting that other people’s lives didn’t matter or police officers’ lives didn’t matter.

And whenever we get bogged down in that kind of discussion, we know where that goes — I mean, that’s just down the old track.

So let me just suggest this: I think everybody understands all lives matter. Everybody wants strong, effective law enforcement. Everybody wants their kids to be safe when they’re walking to school. Nobody wants to see police officers who are doing their job fairly hurt. Everybody understands it’s a dangerous job.

I think the that reason that the organizers used the phrase “black lives matter” was not because they were suggesting nobody else’s life matters. Rather, what they were suggesting was there is a specific problem that is happening in the African-American community that’s not happening in other communities. And that is a legitimate issue that we’ve got to address.

It’s pretty simple, nothing mind-bending behind the meaning. I can’t help think that if you can’t understand that then you just have a problem with “Black Lives”. Now that may sound harsh, but it is what it is.

No one has a problem with #FuckCancer and #BreastCancerAwareness hashtags. You don’t see people responding to those hashtags saying, “What about #FuckHIV?”

Kevin Durant Checks Stephen A Smith

Posted on by Bobby Broadway

Stephen A Smith loves to let everyone know who his friends are, you know DWade, Gabrielle Union, Floyd Mayweather, Carmelo Anthony, etc….

I recall Smith talking about how he knows DWade and his mother and how close he is with the fam. It got to the point where he had to mention on ‘First Take‘ how Gabrielle Union sent him a text to set the record straight.

Well, he may have taken it too far this time….

Recently Smith talked about how he had heard from sources that if Kevin Durant was to leave the Oklahoma Thunder that he would not head home to DC and the Washington Wizards. Instead Durant would head west to the Lakers.

Wow… Kobe and KD in L.A.???

Well, if that was the case it seems like someone forgot to tell KD

“I don’t talk to Stephen A. Smith at all,” Durant told reporters. “Nobody in my family, my friends — they don’t talk to Stephen A Smith. So he’s lying.”

“If you ask me a question, I’ll talk about them,” Durant said. “But like I said before, I have people who I talk to about everything, and I know for a fact they didn’t talk to him, so he’s making up stories.”

DAMN!!!!!

In an attempt to save face, Smith responded by saying that he never said he spoke to Durant or his family and friends. And that he has plenty of other sources in the NBA that he gets his info from.

That’s all good, but Smith is missing KD’s point.

Durant is saying that if you haven’t spoken to him or his inner circle about his future than any other source you have is wrong. That’s it plain and simple, end of story.

Stephen A Smith, better watch himself as it seems that KD doesn’t have much patience for all the free-agency talk.

Donald Trump and His BS Tax Plan

Posted on by Bobby Broadway

Donald Trump finally rolled out his Tax Plan and it shouldn’t surprise anyone that much like everything Trump, it’s full of shit!

To be honest, this guy Trump ALMOST got me with his BS.

When Trump dropped his tax plan on Monday, he sold it as a populist plan that’s tough and is fair for everyone. The only problem with Trump’s plan are the details, and like they say, “The devil is in the details…”

I could go right in and spit out some comments from a left-leaning tax group like Citizens for Tax Justice, but that would be too easy for Conservatives to ignore. So, here is what the right-leaning Tax Foundation have to say about Trump’s BS….

Our analysis finds that the plan would reduce federal revenues by $11.98 trillion over the next decade.  

Trump’s plan is Jeb Bush’s Tax Plan on steroids, and like Jeb’s plan there is lack of clarity of how they can make up for that lost revenue.

I thought the idea was NOT to add to the country’s debt or deficit??

Once again Trump is proving he’s just a chump!
