A Fox News columnist efforts to defend President Donald Trump Saturday morning saw him unwittingly align himself with the Black Lives Matter movement. Mike Davis, founder of an organization that purports to "fight lawfare" on Trump's behalf, told Fox News readers they should be outraged by police brutality. "If a police officer unlawfully beats a suspect without cause and violates his civil rights, that officer should face legal accountability," Davis told conservatives. Davis made this call for police accountability as protesters take to the streets in Madison, Wisconsin, where Corey Ruiz was tackled, tased, kicked and fatally shot three times Wednesday. While police say Ruiz, 38, pulled a knife, protesters who have taken to the streets contend the force was excessive. About 200 protesters marched through Madison Thursday night chanting "Black Lives Matter" and "These killer cops have got to go."His weeping mother told the media, "They took my baby from me." So why did Davis alert his readers to the problem of police brutality? Jack Smith — the special counsel who brought criminal charges against Trump, ahead of his 2025 reelection, on charges he mishandled classified documents and tried overturn the 2020 presidential election."Holding him accountable is not a threat to law enforcement; it is consistent with the rule of law," Davis said of his hypothetical violent officer. "The same applies to rogue prosecutors like Smith."He tried and failed to alter the outcome of the 2024 presidential election by prosecuting President Trump across two jurisdictions on two absurd indictments," Davis claimed. "It is inconceivable how holding him legally accountable for that conduct would threaten the Justice Department."

USA Today sports columnist Nancy Armour issued a pathetic non-apology Thursday after facing fierce backlash for invoking the lynching of Emmett Till in a deranged column attacking WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark.

Iran's increasingly precise missile and drone attacks — including strikes that evaded US air defenses and killed American troops last week — are fueling fears inside the Pentagon that Tehran is getting help from American adversaries such as Russia and China.
An outrageous sports column in USA Today implies that a white WNBA player has put gay black women at risk of lynching by asking for foul calls when she has been assaulted on the court.Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark's plight has become a racial battle in the culture wars, as some have accused her of white privilege for demanding attention when fouled by opponents who are often black.'Nancy Armour should be out in a straight jacket and locked up. We can't have these types of smooth brains roaming freely in society.'Nancy Armour ratcheted up the tension by typing up a screed linking the basketball fouls to the horrific racist lynching of black 14-year-old Emmett Till in 1955."It shouldn't need reminding this country has an awful history of Black people being harmed, even killed, in the name of 'defending' white women," she wrote."The irony of the WNBA's All-Star Game is that it's happening this weekend in Chicago, the hometown of Emmett Till, who became an icon of the civil rights movement after his tragic murder," she added. "While it's incumbent on the WNBA to do more to protect its players, there also should be an expectation on Clark to recognize the broader implications of her actions," she continued.Armour further emphasized the point by noting that "the WNBA is made up predominantly of Black women, many of them queer." Clark's heterosexuality has previously been a topic of conversation.The bizarre opinion piece led to bewilderment and outrage online."Congrats to USA Today's Nancy Armour! She has written the dumbest paragraph not only of my lifetime but in the history of sports," Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports responded. "Nancy Armour should be out in a straight jacket and locked up. We can't have these types of smooth brains roaming freely in society," he added.The outrage led to a statement from Armour and a rewrite of the piece. She admitted only to an "inartful" comparison that needed more context."However, this point stands: There is a history in this country of perceived threats to white women being weaponized against African-Americans, and the danger that poses to Black players in the league," she wrote. "Players have been abused online and have reported receiving death threats. That has to be taken more seriously."RELATED: USA Today obliterated online over bizarre claim about transgender athletes Armour also locked up her account on the X platform.The same writer was mocked and ridiculed in June when she wrote another opinion piece claiming there was no physical advantage of biological males over females in sports. She protected her X account after that public clamor as well.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!
