Ted Nugent
[quote]Nugent is a vocal supporter of the U.S. Republican Party
and various associated conservative causes, particularly gun
rights and hunter's rights.[74] He is a supporter of former
President Donald Trump, and has made a number of statements
critical of President Barack Obama, one of which was perceived
as potentially threatening and led to Nugent being investigated
by the Secret Service.[13] His views have been considered
racist.
In an interview in 1990, a few months after the release of
Nelson Mandela during the negotiations to end apartheid in South
Africa, Nugent stated: "apartheid isn't that cut-and-dry. All
men are not created equal." He described black South Africans as
"a different breed of man" who "still put bones in their noses,
they still walk around naked, they wipe their butts with their
hands".[79][80]
As a reward for entertaining U.S. troops in Iraq in 2004, Nugent
visited Saddam Hussein's war room. He commented on Iraq, "Our
failure has been not to Nagasaki them."[81]
On July 17, 2008, during the presidential election season and
shortly before the Republican presidential nominating
convention, Nugent expressed his skepticism about presumptive
GOP Presidential nominee John McCain, stating that McCain was
"catering to a growing segment of soulless Americans who care
less what they can do for their country, but whine louder and
louder about what their country must do for them. That is both
un-American and pathetic."[82]
At a 2009 West Virginia rally sponsored in part by Massey
Energy, Nugent "defended mountaintop removal mining," according
to reporters on the scene. "On behalf of the Nugent family, I
say, start up the bulldozers and get me some more coal, Massey,"
Nugent was recorded as saying.[83] Nugent is an outspoken critic
of Islam, which he describes as a "voodoo religion" which
"believes in world domination".[84]
During an interview with Piers Morgan, Nugent denied that he
considered himself homophobic, saying "I'm repulsed at the
concept of man-on-man sex, I think it's against nature. I think
it's strange as hell, but if that's what you are, I love you.
I'm not going to judge another's morals. I say live and let
live. I have friends that are gay."[85][86]
Nugent clashed in 2014 with Jay Dean, then the mayor of
Longview, Texas, and an incoming Republican member of the Texas
House of Representatives after Dean moved to cancel Nugent's
scheduled appearance at the Longview Independence Day concert.
Dean said that he finds Nugent's music unsuitable for
family-oriented audiences on July 4. Longview hence paid Nugent
$16,000, half of the amount he had been promised, to drop him
from the concert. Nugent in turn called Dean "racist" and
"clueless, dishonest, and one of the bad guys."[87]
In 2014, Nugent worked as the treasurer and co-chairman for Sid
Miller's campaign for Texas Agriculture Commissioner.[88]

Scottsdale, Arizona
Nugent's conservative views have prompted criticism from fellow
musicians such as Paul McCartney,[89] David Crosby,[89] and the
band Goldfinger, who have a song titled "**** Ted Nugent" on
their album Open Your Eyes.[90] [/quote]
[quote]Animal rights
Nugent, an opponent of animal rights, said in a long interview,
"I'm stymied to come up with anything funnier than people who
think animals have rights. Just stick an arrow through their
lungs."[98] In 2000, Bhaskar Sinha was jailed briefly following
an incident outside a department store in San Francisco in which
he threatened and physically assaulted Nugent, who in turn took
Sinha into custody until San Francisco Police arrived and
arrested the protester. However, protesters claim that Nugent
started the altercation by spitting in the face of one of the
protesters when offered an anti-fur flyer. A San Francisco
police officer, who stated that he was on the scene, said that
he didn't believe Nugent spat on anyone.[99]
Nugent has reportedly received death threats against him and his
family from animal rights activists. On the Penn & Teller's
Bullshit! episode about People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals (PETA), Nugent said, "We've got reports and files with
law enforcement across America where the animal rights
extremists are on record threatening to kill my children on the
way to school because we eat pheasant."[100]
In a 1992 radio interview, Nugent referred to Heidi Prescott of
the Fund for Animals as a "worthless ****" and a "shallow ****",
asking "who needs to club a seal, when you can club Heidi?" He
was ordered by a court to pay Prescott $75,000.[101]
Nugent defended Kid Rock, a fellow musician and hunter, when he
killed a mountain lion in January 2015, calling the people who
targeted Rock "braindead squawkers" and that Rock did good by
keeping predator numbers low and helping the deer population,
which is vital for hunting.[102] In July 2015, Nugent was one of
the few to defend the killing of Cecil the lion.[103]
Nugent owns a 340-acre hunting ranch near Jackson, Michigan,
called Sunrize Acres.[104] Anti-hunters claim this fenced
facility offers "canned" hunts. Nugent has said, "I understand
the criticism from those who say canned hunting violates the
ethic of fair chase", though he still operates the facility, and
refers to it as "high fence hunting".[105]
In April 2012, Nugent pled guilty to illegally killing and
transporting an American black bear in Alaska.[106] His sentence
included two years of probation, a prohibition on hunting and
fishing in Alaska and on any U.S. Forest Service lands for one
year, and a fine of $10,000, and he was required to produce and
broadcast at his own expense a 30-60 second Public Service
Announcement (PSA) on the responsibilities of hunters.[107][108]
The judge in the case, Michael A. Thompson (Alaska), admitted in
court that he himself had never heard of the law in which Nugent
was charged, despite the fact that Thompson himself had been a
lifelong bear hunter in Alaska.[109] Nugent explained his side
of the situation in an interview with Deer & Deer Hunting.[110]

On a lighter note:
HTML https://us.yahoo.com/news/trump-resigns-screen-actors-guild-180704982.html
[quote]Donald Trump said he will resign from the Screen Actors
Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists
after the group threatened to revoke his membership.
The former president said "who cares" to the group's threat, and
followed SAG-AFTRA's board voting "overwhelmingly" that Mr Trump
violated the union's guidelines by inciting the Capitol
insurrection.
Fox News received Mr Trump's letter, which was addressed to the
president of SAG-AFTRA.
"I write to you today regarding the so-called Disciplinary
Committee hearing aimed at revoking my union membership. Who
cares!" Mr Trump wrote in the letter. "While I’m not familiar
with your work, I’m very proud of my work on movies such as Home
Alone 2, Zoolander and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps; and
television shows including The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Saturday
Night Lives, and of course, one of the most successful shows in
television history, The Apprentice—to name just a few!"[/quote]

[quote]SAG-AFTRA issued a memorable one-liner Thursday when
Donald Trump resigned from the Hollywood actors union ahead of a
disciplinary hearing.
“Thank you,” it said in a startlingly short, two-word statement.
The caustic comeback followed after Trump sent a petulant letter
Thursday “revoking” his union membership.[/quote]

CANCEL TOM BRADY!
HTML https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/nancy-armour/2021/02/02/super-bowl-2021-tom-brady-doesnt-deserve-pass-trump-support/4358829001/
[quote]Tom Brady was happy to talk politics until he wasn’t.
The Make America Great Again hat in his locker, the flippant
endorsement of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. Only
when those ties became inconvenient did Brady decide he wanted
to “stick to sports,” and that he preferred to be a beacon of
positivity rather than delve into society’s thorny ills.
How mighty white of him.
Brady’s ability to enter and exit the debate at his choosing, to
shield himself from accountability, is the height of white
privilege. As this country grapples with the far reaches of
systemic racism, look no further than Brady, for whom the
expectations, and allowances granted, will always be different.
“Whiteness is the benefit of the doubt,” said David Leonard,
author of "Playing While White: Privilege and Power on and off
the Field." “When Tom Brady says, 'I was just given the hat,’ or
'He’s just a friend of mine,’ or when he skips the White House
and says, 'I had a different engagement,’ he gets the benefit of
the doubt. He gets to be an individual.
...
Brady has had the chance – several, in fact – to clarify or walk
back his comments and has chosen not to. At the Super Bowl in
2017, three days after Trump’s Muslim ban took effect. On Howard
Stern's show last spring, when Trump was already beginning to
sow lies about the election.
And yet again this week, less than a month after a deadly
insurrection at the U.S. Capitol that was incited by Trump.
Instead, Brady has been allowed to divorce himself from it while
Black athletes are made to own their views in perpetuity.
There is no end in sight to Colin Kaepernick’s blackballing,
even though his protests to bring attention to police brutality
of Black and brown people have proven to be an alarm we should
not have ignored. WNBA players had one of their own owners turn
on them because they had the audacity to say “Black Lives
Matter” and amplify the stories of Black and brown women killed
by police.
“I’m not sure how to respond to hypothetical questions like
that,” Brady said Monday when asked if he feels he’s gotten a
pass. “I hope everyone can – we’re in this position, like I am,
to try to be the best I can be everyday as an athlete, as a
player, as a person in my community for my team and so forth.
“So … yeah. Not sure what else.”
Even Brady’s aversion to talking about politics or current
events is itself a form of privilege.
...
“The follow-up question of, 'I’m here just to play football,' is
'Well, who’s afforded that luxury? Who’s allowed to see sports
as this apolitical space of distraction, of pleasure, of fun?’ ”
Leonard said. “Seeing sports and living sports as an uncontested
space is the privilege of whiteness. It’s the privilege of being
a man. It’s the privilege of being a heterosexual athlete.
"That is a luxury that Black athletes and other marginalized and
disempowered athletes have never been afforded, inside and
outside of sports."[/quote]

Also Brady's diet:
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Brady#Diet_and_lifestyle
[quote]He avoids most fruits, mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers,
eggplants, coffee, Gatorade, white sugar, flour, gluten, dairy,
soda, cereal, white rice, potatoes, and bread.[/quote]
His avoidance of dairy most likely comes from Gentile blood
memory, and is not to be confused with our avoidance of dairy
which is combined with liking most of the other foods he avoids
(maybe not Gatorade, but you know what I mean.....).

He seems to avoid starchy (i.e. carb heavy) foods, which is what
the "Paleo diet" advocates.
"liking most of the other foods he avoids"
Certainly. I recall you discussed our movement potentially
releasing a cookbook one day. As a start, how about discussing
our favorite recipes on this forum? I will start a thread
dedicated to this topic.
