Heaven Birthday, O.A. "Bum" Phillips Born 102 Years Ago Today🤠🩵🕯️ A Tribute to the 'Patron Saint' of the #Oilers' "Luv Ya Blue" Phenomenon of the 1970s Head Coach and Leader of the Houston Oilers and New Orleans #Saints A "country gentleman" who completely rejuvenated a hapless franchise, restoring it to football prominence, while invigorating a city and fanbase in the process. Bum was one of #NFL history's most colorful characters, always good for an unforgettable country idiom. Unmistakably recognizable in his cowboy boots and Stetson hat, he instilled togetherness and indoctrinated team unity (both on and off the field) with the players on his Oilers and Saints teams of the 1970s and '80s — often allowing "family days" for his players at Saturday practice sessions and holding team pizza and beer nights during the season. Bum was an ingenious coach — a true innovative defensive mind, one who never seems to get his just due in that regard. Widely acknowledged as one of the inventors of the defensive numbering system that is currently used in the sport today, he — along with Chuck Fairbanks — took the basic, elementary principles of the college 3-4 defensive scheme and modernized it in earnest into a full-fledged pro base defensive alignment. Prior to this, elements of the pro 3-4 had only been seen in various substitution packages, most notably Bill Arnsparger's "53" defense for the Dolphins' Super Bowl teams. The linchpin of the alignment was future Hall of Famer Curley Culp, who Bum deployed as the proverbial "eye of the hurricane" at the newly-revolutionized nose tackle position. His play in 1975 would garner him NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors by the NEA. In 1975 — his first season as head coach of the Oilers — Phillips led #Houston to its first winning season in eight years and its first 10-win season since 1962. In 1978, Bum navigated the Oilers to their first postseason appearance in nine years, and from 1978 through 1980, led Houston to three consecutive postseason appearances — something that had not occurred since the first three seasons of the franchise's existence, 1960 through 1962. During his six seasons as head coach of the Oilers, Bum recorded five winning campaigns and four seasons with 10-or-more victories. In 1978 and again in '79, his teams would succumb to their fierce AFC Central rival — the eventual back-to-back Super Bowl champion Steelers — in the AFC Championship. After his time in Houston, Phillips moved on to coach the Saints from 1981 to 1985, leading the franchise to then only its second non-losing season ever in 1983. Heaven Birthday to a true original in every sense of the word🤠

🚨BREAKING: White House Crypto Chief Says “Bitcoin Is Not XRP” — and “Tens of Trillions Are Coming by The Year End” at Ripple Swell🇺🇸🚀 This might’ve been the most electric interview of Ripple Swell 2025. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse sat across from Patrick Witt Executive Director of the President’s Council of Advisers for Digital Assets, for a raw, high-level conversation that connected the dots between Washington, Ripple, and the next phase of crypto policy in America. Let's go over it 👇🏼 💥 “Bitcoin is not $XRP — and the market’s going to the tens of trillions.” Brad asked Witt point-blank where crypto is headed next. Witt didn’t hesitate: “Before the end of the year, the President wants the Market Structure Bill on his desk. After that, we’re talking about a market worth tens of trillions, with stablecoins proliferating across the globe.” Then came the quote that turned heads: “People need to understand — Bitcoin is not XRP. $XRP is not Ethereum. These are different assets serving different roles in the financial system.” He described it as the decade when blockchain and traditional finance finally fuse, adding: “The companies that will reshape the world of finance probably don’t even exist yet.” Brad grinned: “Ripple’s been building the foundation for that moment.” 🗽 From crackdown to clarity — the U.S. flips the script Witt didn’t sugarcoat the past: “The previous administration turned crypto into a political issue. They thought if they buried it, it would disappear. It didn’t — it just flourished somewhere else.” Now, he said, the mission is simple: “President Trump wants to make the United States the dominant player in crypto again.” And the playbook is already underway: ✅ The Genius Act — stabilized the stablecoin sector and restored confidence 🏛️ The Market Structure Bill — the next big one, targeting passage before year-end. 📈 Regulatory clarity = acquisition wave Brad brought up Ripple’s buying spree — GTreasury, Palisade, and more. Witt connected the dots: “During the Biden years, there were almost no big crypto acquisitions. This quarter alone? Ninety-five. That’s what happens when you have regulatory certainty. Traditional institutions finally feel safe stepping in.” He called it a “bullish indicator of maturity” — the moment when crypto stopped being speculative and started being structural. ⚙️ The White House Shutdown is Actually Helping Crypto When Brad mentioned the record government shutdown, Witt laughed: “It’s ironic, but it’s actually helping. Senators have fewer other meetings, so we’ve had more time to work with their staffs on crypto legislation.” Instead of slowing progress, the shutdown gave the White House’s crypto council more direct access to lawmakers. “We’re still full steam ahead — every day, morning to night,” Witt said. 🤝 On tribalism — “We either hang together, or we hang separately.” Witt warned that division is a bigger risk than regulation itself: “We’ll never get a perfect bill. But if we can get to 80% yes, we win. The industry needs unity — or it risks hanging separately.” Brad agreed instantly: “Exactly. Ripple’s whole mission has been about connection, not competition.” “Once this framework is in place, the floodgates open. The industry is going to scale into the tens of trillions — and the United States will lead it.” 🚀

NCAA Champion Michael La Sasso is now the youngest player on LIV Golf after signing for Phil Mickelson’s HyFlyers GC during the off season. He explained his decision to join the league ahead of the season opener in Riyadh: “One of the things that went into my decision, when I was 10 years old starting to play golf, like, the goal for me was to play professional golf. Having people that have been very well-known in the golf space and are so experienced, and to be able to be a part of a team that's with Phil, somebody that's had so much experience, I feel like he'll be able to answer any question that I throw at him, to have the ability to be able to ask somebody that on a daily basis, that played a very big part in it for me because not every 21-year-old has the opportunity to be able to ask questions to those people. So that was a big factor for me. “I think so far, I'm so grateful that I made the decision, and I am very happy to be here.” Michael also says that Caleb Surratt, who joined Jon Rahm’s LIV Golf team for the 2024 season, had an impact on his decision too: “So, I've had a very good relationship with Caleb Surratt. Not many people know this, but he was committed to NC State at the same time I was. He's from North Carolina, I'm from North Carolina. Growing up, I played a lot of golf with him, and we were very close. “I remember when he first came here, he stayed at my house because he was getting a swing lesson from -- we go to the same instructor. Everything that he had to say, it made me excited. From a very early start, hearing about LIV and every perk that it had and hearing him talk so highly about it, the fact that I actually had an opportunity to come out here and play, and I asked him a bunch of questions and kind of from the start, everything that he had to say and people that I talked to, everything was so, so good.” He went on to say about the prospect of playing team golf: “I think that makes the transition a little bit easier. I feel like my golf has kind of taken off when I've been in a team environment. For me, having a team around me was very appealing. “I've played good golf as a team. I like the camaraderie, kind of the friendly banter that goes back and forth between the guys. For me to have the opportunity to come play on a team environment for a professional career, I think that's the coolest thing ever.” This is Michael’s rookie season as a pro after signing for HyFlyers GC straight out of college. Normally, it’s a difficult transition for young players to make, but Michael isn’t short of confidence and has some lofty goals: “I've talked with a bunch of people on the team. I know Phil is very big on having a team win and an individual win. Now being the youngest player in the league, I'd kind of like to come in and make a good noise, and I would like to win a couple times. I would like to see the team win for sure, as a team event. I think that would be pretty neat, as well, and kind of take it one day at a time.” One thing is very clear from this interview, whatever happens during Michael’s pro debut this week, it will not be boring!

🔥 I saw, "a white egg," and, "it's been confirmed to me by ranking members of the UAP Task Force that what we were working with that night was in fact NHI, and it was not a unique experience." ~New Whistleblower Jake Barber 🔥 (Here's the full clip, tease, and transcript of the new alleged whistleblower, Jake Barber, who will be featured this Saturday on NewsNation.) Ross Coulthart: "You may have seen the promotional publicity by now for a very major story which we intend to broadcast on NewsNation this coming Saturday at 8pm Eastern Time on NewsNation. It's a huge story. It's one I've been working on for over two years. You'll recall back in 2023, we broke the David Grusch interview, where the former NGIA, National Geospatial Intelligence Agency insider, revealed what he knew from his exhaustive investigations into the legacy retrieval program. "The big criticism, always, of David Grusch was that he didn't have any direct personal knowledge of the legacy program. I actually understand he does, but he can't talk about it. But today I'm going to tell you about a story that will, I suspect, rock Washington and possibly have a huge influence on a lot of people around the world who've wanted answers to that big question for many, many years: Are we alone? And the short answer: We're not. "This week, we are presenting definitive evidence from firsthand whistleblowers, people who have operated within the legacy crash retrieval program. That is retrievals of non-human craft. Principal informant is a former, very-well-respected, Tier 1 operator. Highly-trained, Tier 1 military operator, trained at the elite levels of the U.S. military. His service, verified and testified to by three other witnesses. "The account that he gives of what he saw on what he euphemistically refers to as the range, the retrieval of non-human craft, is backed by two of his colleagues who were there with him. "This is going to be a ground breaking story, and yes, we're running it right before the inauguration, because we want to send a message. The message is: It's time for the public to be told the truth. The government, or sections of the government, have been knowingly, intentionally lying to the public for years, and if they want to fight, they can have one, because people are now prepared to come forward. "This week, you're going to hear from a firsthand whistleblower. Let's have a listen." ~~~ Coulthart: So tell me about the moment when you realized that you were involved in a retrieval of non-human technology, alien tech." Jake Barber: "So it became very clear the first time our communication process and procedure was modified. And then just visually looking at the object on the ground, you could tell that it was extraordinary and anomalous. It was, it was not human." Coulthart: "How close did you get?" Barber: "Well, I was a helicopter pilot and I operate with 150 foot to 200 foot long line. So, I got within 150 feet of this object." Coulthart: "What did you see?" Barber: "I saw an egg, a white egg." Coulthart: "Was there any visible propulsion system on it?" Barber: "No, not what we would know.. There's no engine, there was no thermal signature. I was operating at night when I finally came in to pick it up. So I'm working under night-vision goggles at the time. And it was quite clear. I flipped them up, flipped them down, and looked at it a couple of different ways." Coulthart: "How did you know that that egg-shaped object was non-human in origin?" Barber: "Well, visually, after seeing all kinds of things in my past, it was clearly something that was ridiculously looking. It's inconsistent with anything I'd ever seen before. I can also tell you that the reaction by my team, we all knew we were dealing with something extraordinary." Coulthart: "And at no stage were you ever subsequently told that the craft was of non-human origin?" Barber: "I will tell you that during this process, over the last couple of years, it's been confirmed to me by ranking members of the UAP Task Force that what we were working with that night was in fact NHI, and it was not a unique experience." ~~~ Coulthart: "Now, as you'll see in this week's story, the bonafides of our witnesses are verified to our satisfaction. We've been able to check their credentials and their service with people at the very top of the national security establishment, and inside the Congress. We know that the evidence has already been presented to the Pentagon's UFO Investigation Office, AARO - the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office. We know that evidence has been given by our primary whistleblower to the Senate Select Committee for intelligence. "Congress already has this information. We've made sure that our whistleblower follows the proper form to ensure that the proper authorities are notified and alerted to what the significances of this witness has to say. It's going to be very interesting to see what happens, but it's also going to be very interesting to see what the new government's response, the new president's response is to the ongoing drone incursions. Because it's quite clear there is a connection between the drone incursions and the phenomenon of UAPs." Watch the full interview during NewsNation’s TV special: “Hunting UFOs: The Crash Retrieval Whistleblower” on Saturday, Jan. 18 at 8 p.m. ET.

🚨🚨🚨WAKE UP EUROPE 🛎️🛎️🛎️ If You Still Believe That Russia Started This Conflict in 2022, Then You Are Ignorant, or Brainwashed. The END to NATO. The Ukraine war, which I will argue was provoked by the West and especially the United States. This war will be settled on the battlefield where the Russians are likely to win an ugly victory. Settling the war diplomatically is not possible because the opposing sides have irreconcilable differences. Instead, it's likely to be, as I said, an ugly victory, where Russia ends up occupying somewhere between 20 to 40% of pre-2014 Ukraine, while Ukraine ends up as a dysfunctional rump state covering the territory that Russia does not conquer. Ukraine has effectively been wrecked. It has already lost a substantial portion of its territory and is likely to lose more land before the fighting stops. Russian leaders recognized that the Ukrainian army, which was larger than the invasion force, I want to emphasize this, the Ukrainian army was larger than the Russian invasion force, it was armed and trained by NATO, and it was becoming a de facto member of NATO. Immediately after the war began, Russia, not Ukraine, Russia reached out to Ukraine to start negotiations to end the war and work out a modus vivendi between the two countries. This move is directly at odds with the claim that Putin wanted to conquer Ukraine and make it part of greater Russia. Negotiations between Kiev and Moscow began in Belarus just four days, four days after the Russian invasion. And that Belarus track was eventually replaced by an Israeli as well as an Istanbul track. The available evidence indicates that the Russians were negotiating seriously and were not interested in absorbing Ukrainian territory, save for Crimea, which they had annexed in 2014, and possibly the Donbass region. The negotiations ended when the Ukrainians, with prodding from Britain and the United States, walked away from the negotiations, which were making good progress at the time. The Russians did not walk away from the negotiations. In the months before the war started, Putin tried to find a diplomatic solution to the brewing crisis. On 17 October 2021, remember the war begins February 2022, this is 17 December 2021, Putin sends letters to both President Biden and to NATO Chief Jens Stoltenberg proposing a solution to the crisis based on a written guarantee that does three things. Number one, Ukraine would not join NATO, number two, no offensive weapons would be stationed near Russia's borders, and number three, NATO troops and equipment moved into Eastern Europe since 1997 would be moved back to Western Europe. Whatever one thinks of the feasibility of reaching a bargain based on Putin's opening demands, it shows he was trying to avoid war. The United States, on the other hand, refused to negotiate with Putin. It appears it was not interested in avoiding war. In fact, the United States and its European allies provoked the war. Bringing Kiev into the European Union and promoting a color revolution in Ukraine, you all remember the Orange Revolution, which was designed to make Ukraine a pro-Western liberal democracy, are the other two prongs of the policy. Russian leaders across the board said repeatedly before the war. that they considered NATO expansion into Ukraine to be an existential threat that had to be eliminated. Putin made numerous public statements laying out this line of argument before 24 February, 2022. Other leaders, including the defense minister, the foreign minister, the deputy foreign minister, and Moscow's ambassador to Washington also emphasized the centrality of NATO expansion for causing the crisis over Ukraine. Sergei Lavrov, the foreign minister, made this point succinctly at a press conference on 14 January, 2022. Lavrov says "'The key to everything is the guarantee "'that NATO will not expand eastward.' Substantial number of influential and highly regarded individuals in the West recognized before the war that NATO expansion, especially into Ukraine, would be seen by Russian leaders as a mortal threat and eventually would lead to disaster. William Burns, who was recently Joe Biden's head of the CIA, but he was the American ambassador to Moscow in April 2008 when the decision was made to bring Ukraine and Georgia into NATO, wrote a very famous memo that I'm sure some of you are familiar with to then Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. This is a quite remarkable memo, and I'm going to quote extensively from it. "'Ukrainian entry into NATO is the brightest "'of all red lines for the Russian elite, not just Putin. "'In more than two and a half years of conversations "'with key Russian players, from knuckle draggers "'in the dark recesses of the Kremlin "'to Putin's sharpest liberal critics, "'I have yet to find anyone who views Ukraine and NATO "'as anything other than a direct challenge "'to Russia's interests.' "'NATO,' he said, quote, "'would be seen as throwing down the strategic gauntlet. "'Today's Russia will respond. "'Russian-Ukrainian relations will go into a deep freeze. "'It will create fertile soil for Russian meddling "'in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine.'" This was written by Bill Burns in 2008. Burns was not the only Western policymaker in 2008 who understood that bringing Ukraine into NATO was fraught with danger. Both Angela Merkel, who was then the German chancellor, and French President Nicolas Sarkozy adamantly opposed moving forward to bring Ukraine into NATO. Merkel said, "'I was very sure that Putin is not going "'to just let that happen."'From his perspective, that would be a declaration of war.'" Putin saw Ukraine joining NATO as a mortal threat that could not be allowed and was willing to go to war to prevent it from happening, which he did, of course, in February of 2022. Relations between Europe and Russia will not only be poisonous, they will also be dangerous. The possibility of war will be ever-present. In other words, the threat of a major European war will not go away when the fighting in Ukraine stops. Russian victory in Ukraine, would be a stunning defeat for Europe. Or to put it in slightly different words, it would be a stunning defeat for NATO, which has been deeply involved in the Ukraine conflict since it started. The political fights, some will question the future of NATO, given that it failed to check Russia, the country that most European leaders describe as a mortal threat. Threats to the EU aside, the great reduction in the flow of gas and oil to Europe since the war started has seriously hurt the major economies of Europe and slowed down growth in the overall Eurozone. General Observations The Ukraine war has been a disaster. It has had catastrophic consequences for Ukraine. It has poisoned relations between Europe and Russia for the foreseeable future. It has made Europe a more dangerous place. It has also caused serious economic and political harm inside Europe, and badly damaged transatlantic relations. Most European leaders, and I'm sure most people in the various European publics, will blame Putin for causing the war, and thus for its terrible consequences. But they are wrong. The war could have been avoided if the West had not decided to bring Ukraine into NATO, or even if it had backed off from that commitment once the Russians made their opposition clear. Had that happened, Ukraine would almost certainly be intact today within its pre-2014 borders, and Europe would be more stable and more prosperous. Crimea would still be part of Ukraine. ***Professor John J. Mearsheimer, the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago and a globally recognized expert in international relations.

🛑🇫🇷 - A French woman is talking to Emmanuel Macron. She said, “Macron since you came into power, we are in shit. We no longer can buy anything. You’re the disgrace of our country. So, it’s time for you to leave, because we’re in shit. I didn’t have any choice between my rent and the electricity bill. But, I chose to pay my rent in order not to become a homeless. Today, I find myself without electricity, and I’m obliged to cook some pasta with this small gas stove. You’re the disgrace of our country. You know Mr Macron, I know what it is to a homeless, because a long time ago, I was homeless with 4 kids to care for. You are useless at all. You are just there as a decoration. You don’t keep your word. It enters in one ear and goes out from the other. You promised that there are no more homeless on the streets. Nowadays, there are still many on the streets. I am privileged to have a roof over my head, but I don’t have electricity anymore. Why? Because, you have increased everything. Those people, the people survive. Are you not ashamed of what you’re doing? But you’re quiet! Before Christmas, they cut off my electricity. Is that my Christmas gift? Before Christmas, they cut off my electricity without warning me, without sending me a word in the mailbox. Normally, in winter, they have no right to cut off electricity. Now, I’m obliged to go to the Auchan to charge my cellphone because, it doesn’t last long. Mr Macron with his three piece suit, he wants to act smart, make promises, promises of nothing at all. Promising to the people but doing nothing. He is doing nothing for his people. He is putting everyone in shit, you’re putting everyone in shit. Do you understand? Everyone is in shit. You put me in shit, like other people whom you put in shit. We’re all in shit because of you. We’re all in shit Mr Macron because of you. Your own people are in shit because of you. So, resign if you’re unable to take care of your people. Resign!” Alright, folks, the number of times she used the word shit shows how desperate and frustrated she is. I must confess that I couldn’t stop laughing. These are the French people who don’t truly know nor understand that their country called France 🇫🇷 is striving because she controls 14 francophone countries. It’s thanks to those country that France 🇫🇷 holds its prestige on the world stage and can lift a finger. If not, France 🇫🇷 is a dwarf and doesn’t deserve to sit among powerful nations. She’s complaining that she doesn’t have electricity anymore. Well, woman, your country used to get free uranium in a country called Niger 🇳🇪 that you guys called the poorest. Now that a man called General Tiani Conseil National pour la Sauvegarde de la Patrie has shut down the uranium tap, your electricity bill has skyrocketed. That’s why your crooked country finds it difficult to buy it at market price because, they can’t afford it. No wonder ORANO wants to sue Niger because General Tiani took back the uranium mines from your hands. Awww crybabies! Thieves will go hungry oh! So, a thief and a predator who was looting our uranium for the last 53 years wants to sue us for taking back our thing? Eiii! Europeans are very funny 🤣🤣🤣. Ok! See you in court! We’ll settle the score there! Without energy, you will have no economy! We’ve not yet abolished the CFA franc and you guys are already crying? You said you’re all in shit right? Sorry, woman! You’ll be in deep shit very soon! It’s way bigger than Macron, because Africa must be free! This is just the beginning of sorrows! It’s going to be worst! Wait and see!

Must-read: Cindy Cherry, Don Cherry’s late daughter, tells all in new book about her father and his cancellation Cindy writes that after 38 years of compelling television, her father was cancelled simply for saying “you people love our milk and honey” and the “least you could do” is buy a poppy on Remembrance Day. Hard to believe it’s been more than five years since the most highly viewed segment on Canadian TV was abruptly cancelled and its star maliciously thrown under the bus. All for no valid reason, well, other than cowardly corporate suits bending the knee to a tiny woke mob of leftwing zealots. We speak of Don Cherry, the coach in Coach’s Corner. Whether you loved or loathed Grapes, Coach’s Corner was must-see TV. Again, you either loved Don for his unvarnished honesty and frankness, which is an endangered species in the world of sports broadcasting today. Or you loved to hate Don Cherry, as you would love to hate an entertaining villain cutting promos in the bizarre biosphere that is professional wrestling. The point is, millions of Canadians would tune into Hockey Night in Canada every Saturday night at approximately 7:50 p.m. E.S.T. Coach’s Corner was many things to many people. But it was never, ever boring. We make mention of the cancellation of this cherished slice of Canadian culture thanks to the recent release of a new book entitled, The Don Cherry Story by His Daughter, Cindy Cherry. Cindy Cherry doesn’t waste any time cutting to the chase. Thus, she begins the story at the end of the story. Namely, when her father’s tenure on network TV came to an abrupt and shocking end on November 9, 2019. That first chapter is entitled “Poppygate” – which is a fitting term given that what happened to Don Cherry was indeed scandalous. Cindy writes that after 38 years of compelling television, her father was cancelled simply for saying “you people love our milk and honey” and the “least you could do” is buy a poppy on Remembrance Day. We have viewed that excerpt over and over and over again. We have analyzed Don’s words for any alleged racism or bigotry or xenophobia. And we come up empty every single time. Indeed, Don Cherry was simply speaking the truth. You know it, we know it, everybody knows it. He was bemoaning that not enough people in Canada honour the war dead and our veterans come November 11. This is not conjecture; it’s the indisputable truth. Indeed, on Remembrance Day 2019, the day Don was officially fired by the way, we visited Yonge-Dundas Square in downtown Toronto at 10 a.m. to observe how many people were wearing poppies. In other words, there we were at this busy intersection just 60 minutes before the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. And we can tell you that less than 5% — yes, less than 5% — of passersby were wearing poppies that day. It was disgraceful, disgusting, and disrespectful. Oh no… was that a little harsh? Is Team Cancel Culture going to come for us now? Yet, the fact that Don Cherry was cancelled for speaking the truth makes for more proof in the pudding that freedom of speech is on thin ice in Canada these days. Due to political correctness, or its new name, “wokeness”, one is forbidden to speak the truth IF the truth hurts. That’s not freedom of speech — that’s censorship. Indeed, Don’s words somehow hurt the feelings of the uber-intolerant left. Or more accurately, these wokesters pretended to suffer from hurt feelings. Finally, these Marxists had some flimsy excuse to derail the career of a common sense patriotic Canadian that they loathed because of… oh, we don’t know… toxic masculinity? And let’s not forget the role of one particular liberal in this saga, namely Ron “The Rat” MacLean. Indeed, if Don’s words were so repugnant, then why didn’t Ron object? Rather, as Cindy Cherry notes, Ron was “bobbing his head in agreement throughout the dialogue, gave Dad the thumbs-up and at the end said, ‘love you for it.’” Furthermore, Cindy notes: “HNiC repeated this Coach’s Corner for their central Canadian viewers. How bad could they have felt it was if they rebroadcasted it?” But no, the cowardly suits at Rogers — caved to the vocal minority and quickly pulled the plug on Coach’s Corner. And when they did, Ron MacLean could’ve and should’ve taken a stand. He could’ve and should’ve said words to the effect of, “Hey, if Don goes, I go.” But then again, that would have made for a principled stand. And second banana rats aren’t all that concerned about principles, not when there’s a juicy six-figure salary on the line. It’s just business, baby. To add insult to injury, MacLean appeared the following Saturday to make a groveling apology. And soon thereafter Hockey Night in Canada went woefully woke in terms of the content aired between periods. It was insufferable and unwatchable. In the days that followed this cancellation, Cindy became further upset about the spin Poppygate was receiving. She writes: “The narrative that Rogers/Sportsnet and Ron put out to the rest of the media was that all Don had to do to keep his job was apologize and he wouldn’t. This is what a lot of the corporate media shills and people on social media jumped on—why didn’t Don just say he’s sorry and then he would have gotten back his job?” But Cindy says that narrative was completely bogus; that the fix was always in. She further writes: “To me, there was no doubt Rogers wanted Dad gone, so they backed him into a corner knowing he wouldn’t kneel to their demands. I believe many people knew there was more to the story about Dad’s firing but didn’t bother looking into it and just went with the corporate narrative.” In fact, it should be noted that it was never Cindy’s intention to write a book even though she always had a ringside seat when it came to being near her famous father. But there came a point during this raging controversy when she simply couldn’t take the B.S. any longer. She had to set the record straight. And for that, we owe her a debt of gratitude. Alas, it’s too bad the Cindy Cherry never got to see the fruits of her labour. Cindy passed away last July at the age of 67 after a brief illness. This was very hard on Don. Regardless, her legacy is a book that dispels the lies and myths that the left and the cowards at Rogers concocted when it comes to the Don Cherry saga. We owe her a debt of gratitude for setting the record straight about this great Canadian. Of note, Don Cherry is 91 years old. At this point, we must wonder how long this national treasure will remain with us. We can tell you this much: when Don passes, millions of Canadians will mourn that day. Some speculate Ron will be remembered as a backstabber and a betrayer, whereas Don spoke his mind, told the truth, and stood by his principles even when threatened with career cancellation — which did indeed come to fruition. One final thought: Don Cherry was and remains immensely popular. And once upon a time, he was responsible for the single most watched segment of TV in the nation. He was a cash cow when it came to attracting advertisers and sponsors. Thus, in the final analysis, the really disturbing thing about his unceremonious cancellation is this: if the powers-that-be can cancel Don Cherry, they can cancel anyone.
