I wonder what "Tucker on Twitter" has to say about golf.


67M views so far for episode #1.

Fox political TV channel could be out of business soon.

Because the race of a person used to be a requirement for joining.

The persons of that race discriminated against that tried to join but were denied solely because of race care.


Was "race a requirement for joining" or did they just not have any members of some race? This kind of club is invite only, you cannot apply to be a member. So it really was probably more they just did not have any members of some race.

But again, who cares unless you are a member?

If that were the case, it took a long time for women to get an invite.

Why do you think that was?


Again, the folks that were discriminated against care.

Because they did not see any fit to invite as members. Because they did not want to invite people just to say they had members of this or that gender or skin color.

Women were not banned from play there, there just were none as members. And like I say, WHO CARES?! It is their club, let them do what they want.

They were not "fit".

I say some were "fit".


Again, THE ONES THAT WERE NOT "FIT" CARE.

I think you're referring to the legality.

I'm referring to discrimination, even within the law.

Is this offensive or funny?

Michigan cowboy roping Hereford steer on I-75.

Glad no one got killed.

A trooper caught the footage.

May 23, 2023

Video shows professional cow catcher Ricky Littlejohn capturing a steer on a Michigan freeway. Littlejohn told NewsNation his friends and family are now calling him the “I-75 cowboy.”

As you are not a member let alone on the membership committee you have zero say on who it fit.

Who cares if the ones who were not fit care? It is a private golf club, not like it is something important. Let them be a member at some other club.

Anytime you make a choice on anything or anyone you discriminate. It is part of life.

I worry about important discrimination. Like schools that had to be taken to court for not giving religious groups the same access to public facilities as any other group. A golf membership at a private club is not important.
