49ers Coach Kelly fired, well deserved

Cartoons added by TD

Lloyd Marcus  "In Texas, Officer Stephen Magnes, saved by his bulletproof vest, is the first policeman ambushed in 2017.  In Oklahoma, a policeman is in critical condition,shot with his back turned during a traffic stop.  In 2016, 64 officers were shot and killed. Twenty-one were ambushed, the highest total in over two decades.

"The racist hate group Black Lives Matter and its political and media supporters are complicit in painting bulls-eyes on the backs of America's brave men and women in blue.  Insidiously, they created and nurtured the lie that police are racists who murder blacks.  Ninety-three percent of black homicide victims arekilled by other blacks.

"Ironically, the left's War on Cops has caused black-on-black violence toskyrocket because police are afraid to do their job, fearful of lies and negative political and media spin.

"Black role model 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick protested the U.S. in support of Black Lives Matter.  Kaepernick's promotion of the lie that police murder blacks trickled all the way down to black youths in high school, instilling disdain for police and America.

"When Kaepernick first dissed our country, taking a knee during the National Anthem, I thought: Where is the 49ers coach?

"Doesn't coach Kelly have authority to say: Keep your political protest off the field; you're hired to play football?

"San Francisco 49ers coach Chip Kelly shamefully ran to microphones supporting Kaepernick and furthered the lie that cops murder blacks.  This is a powerful reflection of Mr. Kelly's lack of wisdom and leadership.

"Yes, I experienced schadenfreude over Kaepernick's and the 49ers' disastrous 2-14 2016 season.  While I do not wish Mr. Kelly any ill will, his firing is well deserved."

Well, this is, after all, San Francisco

The Lame Duck Restraint Act

patriotupdate

American Thinker  "The American presidency has historically been accorded a unique place in national and international politics.  The office combines the head of state with the head of government, which no other major nation has done.  Moreover, we have retained the "Lame Duck" period between national elections, again something that no other major nation has done.  Finally, Congress has granted (I would argue beyond its power to grant) effective quasi-legislative powers to the president through a variety of means. 

"Americans today see, in the hands of an infantile and dumb man like Barack Obama, just how dangerous that can be.  His recent designation of various areas as protected from exploration for energy and other mineral wealth after his party lost all power in Washington is evidence of the need for immediate change.

"While it would be best to simply remove all quasi-legislative power from all federal independent regulatory agencies, all executive agencies, and the president and to require, instead, that actions with the force of law be made only by Congress and no one else, that may not be possible until the political power of constitutionalism is stronger." . . .
