12 Browns players kneel in prayer over racial, social injustice
CLEVELAND — A dozen Browns players took a knee in prayer during the national anthem before Monday night’s preseason game against the New York Giants.
While the group knelt behind the bench, several other players placed a hand on a kneeling teammate’s shoulder in support.
“There’s a lot of racial and social injustices in the world that are going on right now,” rookie safety Jabrill Peppers said after the Browns’ second win in two preseason games. “We just decided to take a knee and pray for the people who have been affected and just pray for the world in general.”
Where would our nation be without the intellectual firepower of the NFL and NBA players?
Maybe the Browns’ main “social injustice concern” is they’ve never won a Super Bowl or even played in one
BUT THAT’S OK, regular season participation trophies are on the way

McConnell, in Private, Doubts if Trump Can Save Presidency
MITCH SHOULD GIVE A WORKSHOP ON HOW TO BECOME SENATE MINORITY LEADER; START AS SENATE MAJORITY LEADER AND PROVE YOU CAN’T LEAD ANYTHING! And wait until the next election and he can show how to become a former Senator.
The relationship between President Trump and Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, has disintegrated to the point that they have not spoken to each other in weeks, and Mr. McConnell has privately expressed uncertainty that Mr. Trump will be able to salvage his administration after a series of summer crises.
What was once an uneasy governing alliance has curdled into a feud of mutual resentment and sometimes outright hostility, complicated by the position of Mr. McConnell’s wife, Elaine L. Chao, in Mr. Trump’s cabinet, according to more than a dozen people briefed on their imperiled partnership. Angry phone calls and private badmouthing have devolved into open conflict, with the president threatening to oppose Republican senators who cross him, and Mr. McConnell mobilizing to their defense.

Black Lives Matter Activist Unveils List of Demands to White People: ‘Give Up the Home You Own’
Black Lives Matter activist Chanelle Helm released a list of “requests” to white people in the wake of the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, this month.
Helm, the so-called “cofounder and core organizer of Black Lives Matter Louisville,” explained in an article published at Leoweekly.com the things she says need to “change.”
“White people, if you don’t have any descendants, will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably one that lives in generational poverty,” Helm writes in an article titled “White people, here are 10 requests from a Black Lives Matter leader.”
White people are asked, “Give up the home you own to a black or brown family,” pass on any inherited property “to a black or brown family,” or “re-budget your monthly so you can donate to black funds for land purchasing.”
White women, especially, are urged to “get a racist fired” or “get your boss fired cause they racist too,” Helms writes.
She concludes, “Commit to two things: Fighting white supremacy where and how you can (this doesn’t mean taking up knitting, unless you’re making scarves for black and brown kids in need), and funding black and brown people and their work.”
During a press conference in New York City last Tuesday, President Donald Trump condemned the neo-Nazis and white nationalist protesters in Charlottesville.
“I’ve condemned neo-Nazis. I’ve condemned many different groups,” Trump said before calling the man who rammed a car into counter-protesters and killed a woman a “disgrace” and a horrible “murderer.”
