Wealthy, powerful corporations are out of control. Instead of just doing their job, they are trying to interfere with the workings of government. A case in point is Major League Baseball trying to punish Georgia for an innocuous election integrity act passed by an overwhelming majority of their legislators.
The MLB is punishing Georgians for a lie told by Joe Biden and the media. We are all supposed to pretend the lie is true and the Georgia law is Jim Crow 2.0.
The hypocrites are using their authority to say they want voter fraud. Democrats and Big Corporations are all in bed together attempting to tell the rest of us what to do.
Reps. Jeff Duncan and Chip Roy are not impressed. They’re taking away their goodies.
Duncan is moving to take away their anti-trust exemption.
An overwhelming bipartisan majority of Americans support requiring an ID to vote, and any organization that abuses its power to oppose secure elections deserves increased scrutiny under the law.

Rep. Chip Roy will co-sponsor it.
I will co-sponsor this and aggressively push it. @mlb happy to have ID required to pick up tickets but not for voting. @aairwaves (American Airlines) & @Delta – you’re on notice too. https://t.co/6PUPrAyxPX

This needs to start happening although it will be hard to get it passed since Democrats control everything.
These corporations — Merck, the MLB, Delta, Woke a Cola — all need to remember what their jobs are supposed to be and it’s not to rule.
These dirtbag virtue signalers are so worried about the democratic process that they just made a lucrative deal with the CCP who are committing genocide.
You can comment on the article after the ads and subscribe to the Daily Newsletter here if you would like a quick view of the articles of the day and any late news:
Baseball is pretty expensive, if it’s a family activity, probably 100 dollars, places like Phoenix or Tampa, to 300 dollars in Boston or New York, three tickets, drinks, hot dog.
Probably ticket about twenty dollars in Atlanta.
Attendance is dropping, partly due to cost and people not being able to afford the prices, especially working people.
Expect bail outs from the government, especially to teams which are supportive of government programs.
Certainly, individuals can spend their money where they want, and I think they could probably spend it somewhere more profitably than going to a MLB game.
If you like baseball, look into high-school or college ball, even minor leagues although the minors are often farm teams for the major league teams, but try to develop other interests.
Maybe even look into playing on an amateur team, maybe a community soft ball team. Have some fun.
The MLB can take a flying F at a rolling donut. AND I do not use any of their sponsors as of NOW!
Kurt Vonnegut would have shouted that as well.
If these company CEO’s want to legislate all they need to do is run for office. You don’t see politicians telling them how to run their businesses. Every state reserves the RIGHT to make their own rules and laws for their elections, that’s why they were voted in.
Whenever a “business” like a sports franchise gets involved in Politics it should lose any special tax advantages. Only Churches, The Press, and Individuals are protected by the Constitution for ALL political Speech. Any other Institution should have their Political Speech considered a Campaign Donation and that should include the Employees, Owners, and Managers of these Institutions, especially if it is publicly traded. Whenever a business is promoting a political candidate, or even a political point of view not specifically covered by the Constitution, it should not have non-profit status.
Personally, I don’t think outside contributions should be allowed. A Representative should only be able to receive contributions from the residents of their District; not even businesses. The 17th Amendment should be repealed and that will take care of the issues with Senators. Take the money out of politics, especially influence peddling, and it will be a whole lot harder to buy politicians. Limit contributions of political campaigns to only voters in a district and lot of money disappears from politics. Imagine if candidates would actually have to make appearances at PTA meetings, the VFW Hall, or the Rotary Club again. To many people out there think that if they make money it gives them a right to tell everyone else how to live. Most of us don’t worship money and just want to be left alone!
Too many unelected entities making the decisions for the majority. Why can’t they mind their own business and keep quiet? They’dratherstir the pot of discontent!!
