So, Stan, you posted about racial descrimination against blacks
who served in military in the 1940s. Real, substantial subjects.
I posted about the history, and up through 1948.
Then you answered by making accusations about removal of DEI
posts in 2025.
Seems like a bit of a bait and switch..
Stephen A. Smith has admitted he feels like a 'damn fool' for supporting Kamala Harris at the recent presidential election.
The former vice president was beaten by Donald Trump in November after replacing Joe Biden as the Democratic candidate.
Harris did not face any competition en route to receiving the
nomination, four years after a disastrous campaign that saw her drop out
of the 2020 race before the Iowa caucuses.
During an appearance on Real Time With Bill Maher, Smith shocked fans
with a blunt verdict on why Trump earned a second term in the White
House. The ESPN star, who has previously teased a possible run for the presidency, revealed how he truly feels having cast his vote for Harris.
'Kamala Harris, who didn't resonate during the primaries in 2020,
couldn't even get to Iowa, suddenly is the Democratic nominee,' he said.

'Then you roll up to the convention in Chicago and everybody is like
"She's a rockstar!" So it's like: "How'd that happen?"'
Smith added: 'Yes I voted for her, a lot of people voted for her, but in
the end, we end up feeling like damn fools.
'Because we supported it, we fell for the "okiedoke" as they say. If you
had a primary, the likelihood is she would not have been the Democratic nominee.'
Smith made his name in sports media but has become more vocal on
political issues since Trump won the election in November.
During his appearance on Maher's show, he scolded Democrats following
their humiliation at the polls.
'(Trump) man was impeached twice, he was convicted on 34 felony counts
and the American people still said "he's closer to normal than what we
see on the left".
'Why? Because when you talk about the transgender community, for
example, and you're talking about issues that pertain to less than one
per cent of the population, the Democratic party came across as if that
was more of a priority than other issues.
'So when he shows up on week one on Capitol Hill, he says "this is what
we're going to do through an executive order" even though it's going to
be shot down through the courts,' Smith said.
'But he's saying "I kept my promise". Then you turn around and look at
the left and you say "What promises did you keep?"
'What voter out there can look at the Democratic party and say "There's
a voice for us, somebody who speaks for us, that goes up on Capitol Hill
and fights the fights that we want them fighting on our behalf".
'They didn't do that and that's why their behinds are home, and that man
is back in the White House. He's doing what he said he was going to do.
'He promised you he was going to do these things and he walked into
office and that's exactly what he's doing.'

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova had a fiery reaction on Monday night
after no Senate Democrat voted in favor of the Protection of Women and
Girls in Sports Act to break the filibuster.
The bill, led by Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., failed to receive the 60
votes it needed to get through the procedural vote. Republicans needed
60 votes but only received 51. No Democrats sided with Republicans on
the bill. Two Democrats were absent from the vote, as were two
Republicans. The bill failed, 51-45.

Navratilova was one sports figure who weighed in.
"I don’t either and I am mad as hell," she wrote on X.
The 18-time Grand Slam champion is a staunch Democrat but has been
critical of her own party for failing to support efforts to keep
biological males from competing against women and girls in sports.
When President Donald Trump signed the "No Men in Women’s Sports"
executive order last month, she criticized Democrats for dropping the ball.
"I hate that the Democrats totally failed women and girls on this very
clear issue of women’s sports being for females only," she wrote in a
post on X.

She expressed her frustration in January when the House of
Representatives passed the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act.
Only two Democrats voted with Republicans on the bill.
"More Dems need to step up here. I know many who agree but are scared to
speak up because of re-election. I say do the right thing. Grow a
spine," she wrote on X.
The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act would require Title IX
to treat gender as "recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth" and would disallow any adjustment for it
to apply to gender identity.

The Tuberville-backed bill had more than 40 co-sponsors in the Senate.
It would also codify one of Trump's many recent executive orders, giving
the policy better longevity.
