Let’s start this week by taking a look at the worst people in the news lately. I know that if you have nothing nice to say, you should say nothing at all, but this group has pushed me over the proverbial edge.

5. Ariana Grande

I cannot be the only that is tired of Ariana Grande. Hearing her annoying songs and details about her failed relationships is enough to drive anyone crazy. So if we could please get a break from Ariana Grande that would be great.

4. Jussie Smollett

I had never heard of this clown until recently. I do not know much about Jussie Smollett or this story, but it appears he is a lying scumbag. I, like many of you, hate liars so I am not fond of Jussie. To be honest, he never had a chance with a name like that.

3. Rich Paul

This little weasel has bastardized Anthony Davis so much recently it is not even funny. Rich Paul has made the Pelicans’ biggest superstar into a villain as he tries to appease his pal, Lebron James.

Davis would be better served listening the Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, who had this to say:

“Don’t ruin your reputation as a great player and one of the nicest guys in the world,” Barkley said, when asked for his advice to Davis. “Remember: Your agent works for you, you don’t work for him. They handled that situation wrong. It’s going to come back to bite them in the ass.”

2. Colin Kaepernick

Colin Kaepernick pulled off one of the biggest long-cons in history as he settled his lawsuit with the NFL. Kaepernick lost his starting job as the starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, then began protesting by kneeling during the National Anthem. He was released following that season and remains unsigned to this day, which brought this lawsuit about.Kaepernick  wants to be seen as a martyr who gave up his professional football career for a greater cause. Truth be told, he was an average quarterback who saw an opportunity to make more money by not playing football.

America, what a country. Perhaps Kaepernick should think about that next time he thinks about kneeling for the National Anthem.

1. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a self-proclaimed socialist who has somehow become a media darling. Ocasio-Cortez, or AOC, as she is often referred to as, can take her Green New Deal and get OUTTA HERE!
