So, not being a football fan, I guess I’m not feeling the controversy over the kneeling business. I don’t like the virtue signaling of the gesture, but I think it’s beyond ridiculous that the President of the United States has made an issue of it. It unnerves me to think that on the same weekend that the president taunted Kim Jong Un on Twitter — a pointless, juvenile conflict that could spiral out of control into actual war — the only thing the people of the United States (and the news media) wanted to talk about was what he said about football players.
I guess the culture war is more important to Americans than nuclear war. Note that only 37 percent of Americans have confidence that the Commander In Chief can be trusted to handle North Korea — the crackpot commie country whose leadership he keeps poking with a stick.
