TheBlaze's Tomi Lahren No Black Panthers for Me, Beyonce ... But I'm Down with MLK
News anchor Tomi Lahren flexed her First Amendment rights all over Beyonce and her fans ... and took a strong stance against the Black Panthers.
Lahren is TheBlaze anchor who got flooded with death threats after she bashed Bey for repping the Black Panthers during the Super Bowl -- and she came on "TMZ Live" Thursday to deliver a message to her haters.
She also went hard against the Panthers, while declaring her love for Martin Luther King, Jr.
Some of her historical facts are off, but there's no doubting 23-year-old Lahren's passion.

"He's got a huge future ahead of him," Rubio said ... "He's gonna be better after this Super Bowl, he's gonna learn from it."

T.I. Real Americans Support Beyonce After Super Bowl 'Protest'
Beyonce's show of black power at the Super Bowl has T.I. fired up, and he thinks you should be too ... if you're a red-blooded American, that is.
We asked T.I. what he thought about the backlash against Bey -- some people saw her halftime show and song, "Formation," as an attack on police. He says those people, including Rudy Giuliani, totally missed the point.
As for planned protests of Beyonce, he says they will "lose in the end." And then he got real patriotic about the whole thing.
Check out the clip. Agree or disagree ... T.I. will make you think.
NFL's Justin Tuck Sorry Eli, Peyton's Just Better ... For Now
Justin Tuck has some bad -- and probably unsurprising -- news for his old teammate Eli Manning ... saying no matter how you slice it, big brother Peyton is the better QB right now.
Tuck was leaving the Super Bowl when we asked him who's the better Manning brother now that both guys have the same amount of rings ... but one is clearly on his way out.
If you're expecting Tuck to back up the guy he won two Super Bowls with ... you're WRONG ... Justin says Eli could catch Peyton in time but for right now it's all about the sheriff.
Sibling rivalry ... it's better when everyone is super freakin' rich.

Peyton Manning Post-Budweiser Celebration ... At Disneyland!
Disneyland is the most hungover place on Earth ... if Peyton Manning slammed as many Budweisers as he threatened to after Super Bowl 50.
Peyton and his 4-year-old twins Mosley and Marshall are in Anaheim right now, and hitched a ride with Mickey, Minnie and co. for a victory parade -- his last one at Disney if he decides to retire.
Manning's kids are loving this, but the Broncos QB clearly has only one thing on his mind: Where's the beer??
Hair o' the dog! (No offense, Pluto)

Adante Pointer, an attorney for the Woods' family, tells us Mario's mother, Gwen, loved Beyonce's halftime performance, especially the show of support for her late son.
We're told Gwen had no clue Bey was going to reference Mario. She's glad to know celebrities feel a connection to Mario, spreading the message to millions.
Beyonce's backup dancers held up a "Justice 4 Mario Woods" sign on the field ... the 26-year-old was shot and killed by San Francisco cops.
We're told Gwen would love to follow up with B ... if the singer's interested in speaking.
Beyonce Chillin' in Style During Super Bowl Weekend
Beyonce was fired up about social issues during the Super Bowl halftime show, but she was nothing but zen before and after ... because the house she rented is the picture of tranquility.
The estate is located in Los Altos Hills ... about 30 minutes from Levi's Stadium. The $50 million home sits on 12-acres ... self-sustaining with 5 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.
The neighbors got wise to the famous renter after a police motorcade with blacked-out SUV windows were traversing the area.
Beyonce posted a picture of herself inside the house to her social media accounts.
The rental -- which goes for $10k a night on Airbnb -- has a rooftop vegetable garden, an orchard and live chickens! Of course, it comes with an infinity pool, game room with a pool table and a fitness center.

Prius Super Bowl Ad Cops Call BS ... That Thing Will NEVER Outrun Us!
That Prius Super Bowl commercial rubbed cops the wrong way -- not because it made high speed chases look like good, clean fun ... but because it's a big fat lie!
Several law enforcement sources tell us the Prius spot was hysterically unrealistic. One source said, "Loved it, funny as hell ... like a Prius is going to outrun anything."
Other reviews included:
- "overdone"
- "silly"
- "you can't outrun a helicopter"
They've got a point. The new Prius 4 tops out around 105 mph, while a police cruiser can do at least 120 mph -- and their 0-60 times are a laughable 10.5 seconds compared to 6 flat.
Now, a few sources were concerned about the ad's overall message, saying ... "I had to tell my kids running from cops is a bad thing." But the overall take on Prius' attempt to look worthy of a felony -- "goobery and dumb."

Raiders Owner Would You Sign Manziel? ... 'Ask Reggie'
We saw Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis out in San Fran Friday -- and we hit him with two quick questions.
1) You really moving the team to Vegas?
2) Would you ever consider taking a chance on Johnny Manziel?
Despite the fact he's the big boss, Mark told us simply, "Ask Reggie!"
Of course, he's talking about Reggie McKenzie, the Raiders GM.
It's interesting that Davis didn't flat out say 'No' -- similar to Stephen Jones' "No comment" earlier in the day.
Seems like the guys might be keeping the door open in case Johnny can get his life together.
BTW, Davis is such a nice guy ... he even took a pic with a 49ers fan!
