I’ve seen this repeated countless times today on social media from verified, and unverified accounts alike.
A tweet claiming that the NBA champion Golden State Warriors would refuse to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House went viral Tuesday, despite presenting zero evidence.
The problem is, no one knows where the story originates from. Who’s the source?
KPIX 5 got a press release from the Warriors saying that they hadn’t even received an invite yet.

Not with this again. The anti-Trump media is once again playing the ‘crowd size card’ to attack President Trump. Just like they did on inauguration day where they attempted to compare crowd size long before Trump was on stage to when Obama was being sworn it. The crowd was bigger than those initial attacks, though not as large as Obama’s.

The same media largely ignored the fact that Trump’s crowds during the campaign were the largest consistent crowds seen in a campaign.
The media has been running with this narrative since the White House visit was announced. Every time a player was not to attend, it became about politics. I’m sure Tom Brady’s mom’s illness had nothing to do with him not attending this year. He must have turned his back on Trump.
Then there’s Danny Amendola. He didn’t attend because he had a funeral to go to. President Trump gave him a shout out, and he tweeted:
No big deal right? Except a bunch of idiots thought he was taking a moral stand against Trump, and they felt betrayed that he didn’t hate the President. The attacks were on.
So the Patriots decided to put the New York Times in their place for their fake ass tweet about fewer players attending the White House celebration this year.
Then they provided an explanation for the New York Times’ bogus photo.
These photos lack context. Facts: In 2015, over 40 football staff were on the stairs. In 2017, they were seated on the South Lawn. https://t.co/iIYtV0hR6Y
Doctors say the 14-month-old baby had the body weight of just a three-month-old. The baby boy’s calcium level was at the minimal level needed to survive, and it was exacerbating a heart condition that had him undergoing emergency surgery, according to sfgate.com.
A former federal prosecutor has sued President Obama, the founders of Black Lives Matter, Al Sharpton, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, and former US Attorney General Eric Holder for inciting a race war that led to the fatal Dallas police shootings.
The suspect, March Ratney, 27, was identified at the scene by witnesses. He was wearing a black shirt with the words “f— the police” on the front, and “black lives matter” on the back. Police weren’t able to provide any information about Ratney’s involvement with the movement, if any.
Pence would be a bigger folly than Ernst—or even Gingrich. His main contribution to immigration policy during his time in Congress: nearly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory during the 2006-2007 Amnesty War.
A major shake-up for Indiana politics could be coming this week as Donald Trump considers Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his Republican vice presidential choice.
A Fort Waynedoctor is under fire after patients died while in his care. The state attorney general is trying to get an emergency suspension of Dr. William Hedrick’s medical license. That hearing is set for Friday afternoon.
NewsChannel 15’s Megan Reust spoke with a former and a current patient of Dr. Hedrick. Both of these patients said they had very different experiences at his office. In one case, a man claims he was able to re-gain quality of life. A woman said the drugs he prescribed her led to a terrible addiction problem.
Toward the end of his 19 years in the National Football League, offensive tackle Lomas Brown noticed something that startled even a hardened veteran. It seemed as if almost every player he knew in the N.F.L. owned a gun. Brown said he saw guns everywhere. On team flights. In locker rooms. In players‘ cars. In training camp dormitory rooms.
This will give you an idea of how gun control laws worked. Following the firebombing of his house in 1956, Dr. Martin Luther King, who was, among other things, a Christian minister, applied for a gun permit, but the Alabama authorities found him unsuitable. A decade later, he won a Nobel Peace Prize.
How’s that “may issue” gun permit policy working for you?
The NRA opposed these discretionary gun permit laws and proceeded to grant NRA charters to blacks who sought to defend themselves from Klan violence — including the great civil rights hero Robert F. Williams.
A World War II Marine veteran, Williams returned home to Monroe, N.C., to find the Klan riding high — beating, lynching and murdering blacks at will. No one would join the NAACP for fear of Klan reprisals. Williams became president of the local chapter and increased membership from six to more than 200.
CNN’s Roland Martin featured Fox Sports writer Jason Whitlock on his podcast this week. Whitlock, the writer Bob Costas credited for his revelation that America’s “gun culture” was responsible for Kansas City Chiefs player Jovan Belcher’s murder-suicide, likened the National Rifle Association to the Ku Klux Klan.
House Republicans’ “fiscal cliff” counteroffer to President Barack Obama hints at billions of dollars in military cuts on top of the nearly $500 billion that the White House and Congress backed last year, and even the fiercest defense hawks acknowledge the Pentagon faces another financial hit.
President Obama’s lead negotiator in the “fiscal cliff” talks said the administration is “absolutely” willing to allow the package of deep automatic spending cuts and across-the-board tax hikes to take effect Jan. 1, unless Republicans drop their opposition to higher income tax rates on the wealthy.
I’ve been critical of Republican tactics and messaging this week, so let’s give credit where it’s due: Moments ago, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell took to the floor and offered an immediate vote on President Obama’s fiscal cliff plan, which shocked the Beltway late last week. (In case you’re keeping score at home, this was the surreal proposal that induced McConnell to laugh out loud as it was outlined by Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner). Harry Reid quickly objected and shut the whole thing down, labeling the suggestion a “stunt.” Think about that.
