NFL Star Has One Question For The Anthem Protesters... And It's Brilliant -

Natalie Washington; USA SUPREME

"I stand with those standing!

"While the rest of the NFL spent Sunday kneeling and linking arms as a sign of protest to President Donald Trump’s condemnation of players who disrespect our National Anthem, Denver Broncos defensive end, Derek Wolfe, has made it clear that he is a proud patriot. So, instead of giving into what the majority of NFL players did this Sunday in a direct response to President Donald Trump’s criticism for anthem protesters, Wolfe decided to stand and salute our flag.

"Wolfe addressed one question for all of them.

"In a statement provided to ESPN’s Josina Anderson Wolfe said: “[I]t’s AMERICA! The greatest country in the world and if you don’t think we are the greatest country in the world and you reside here, then why do you stay?”

"Wolfe emphasized that the United States is a country that values its freedoms, peaceful protests included, but he used his right to peacefully oppose their decision.

"“I stand because I respect the men who died in real battle so I have the freedom to battle on the field. Paying tribute to the men and women who have given their lives for our freedom is why I stand,” Wolfe told ESPN.

" 'But everyone these days likes to find a reason to protest and that’s their right. It’s America and you are free to speak your mind. I just feel it’s disrespectful to the ones who sacrificed their lives and it’s maybe the wrong platform.

" 'But like I said, to each their own. It’s AMERICA! The greatest country in the world and if you don’t think we are the greatest country in the world and you reside here, then why do you stay? A lot worse places in the world to call home. Proud to be an American.”. . .

Stop thinking like it's 2003 -- toppling Iran's mullahs does not risk mistakes of Iraq War

 Douglas Murray  

Ben Garrison

"Almost 20 years ago, in 2007, the Iranian Revolutionary Government kidnapped 15 members of the British Royal Navy and other British Marine personnel. The Iranians claimed that the British vessel had strayed from Iraqi waters into Iranian territorial waters.

"And so for almost two weeks the Iranians used the captured Brits as pawns, paraded them on their nightly TV shows, and forced the captives as well as the British government into a grovelling, humiliating apology. Eventually the captured Brits were returned home with some humiliating goody-bags.

"I suspect that the story will be different today if the Iranian navy attempts to capture any American vessels. If they try that in the days to come they should expect a very different sort of outcome."

"This week President Trump announced that an American “armada” was heading towards Iran, ready to get there by this morning. The vessels include the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier. As the President pointed out, the fleet he has sent towards Iran was not only moving “quickly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose” but is larger than the fleet he recently sent to Venezuela.

"A pointed reminder to the Mullahs.

"Of course the bellicose Iranian regime responded in its usual fashion. One senior advisor to Iran´s “Supreme Leader” claimed that if America were to strike Iranian targets the response from Iran would be “immediate, comprehensive and unprecedented.” . . .

REACTION: Jason Whitlock DISGUSTED by Bad Bunny Vile Halftime Show at Super Bowl

 It's Worse Than We Thought... NFL Lost Nearly Half of Their Audience During Halftime Show! | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft   

There's one very BIG reason why the Super Bowl shows are deviant and anti-white... - Revolver News  . . . "And that raises an obvious question: what does “inclusion” actually mean when the biggest stage in American entertainment moves in only one direction?

Matt Walsh:  "Jay Z took over producing the Super Bowl halftime show in 2019. Since then, white performers have been banned from the show. There hasn’t been a single white headliner at the Super Bowl in 7 years, with the lone exception of Eminem who performed alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop, Kendrick Lamar and other black artists.

"At the same time, the vibe of the halftime shows has become much more explicit, way more provocative, and family-friendly than the league once promised. Sure, that may energize younger audiences, and it may get some extra buzz here and there, but it also narrows what used to be one of the last unified cultural moments that we had left in this country."

Jason Whitlock: Super Bowl 'has fallen' after worst halftime show ever

“ 'Bad Bunny will forever be remembered as the worst Super Bowl ever. … Nothing happened in this Super Bowl, other than Bad Bunny’s ridiculous Super Bowl halftime deal. And it will be forever remembered as the worst Super Bowl halftime and the worst Super Bowl ever,” Whitlock says."

Rick Pitino issues direct message to Bad Bunny after Super Bowl LX halftime show

 Daily Express US  

"St. John's Red Storm head coach Rick Pitino made his thoughts on Bad Bunny perfectly clear after the Puerto Rican rapper's Super Bowl LX halftime performance."

"After Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance, St. John's Red Storm head coach Rick Pitino issued an open invitation to the Puerto Rican artist to catch any of their games.

"This followed the wrap-up of the 2025 NFL season, where the Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX, claiming their second championship. Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, commanded the stage at Levi's Stadium with his entirely Spanish-language halftime show after the opening two quarters.

"His performance, however, drew sharp rebuke from U.S. President Donald Trump, though Tom Brady didn't share the President's view. Trump vented his frustration on Truth Social, branding it the worst Super Bowl halftime show ever.

" 'The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER!" Trump posted.

"It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn't represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World."

"Despite the criticism, Pitino, who formerly guided the Puerto Rican national team, was genuinely impressed by Bad Bunny’s showing. Rick Pitino turned to X to share his enthusiasm, posting: "As someone who spent time in Puerto Rico as their National Coach, watching Bad Bunny at halftime was awesome. @sanbenito you have a seat on the Johnnies bench anytime. Viva Puerto Rico!" . . .

In Latin America, many detested that Bad Bunny performance - Monica Showalter   "Unlike non-Spanish-speaking north Americans, Spanish-speaking Latin Americans actually heard the lyrics loud and clear, experiencing the show very differently from the candy-puff-minded wokesters in the press who declared it wholesome stuff.

"Most said it represented a Hollywood-valued approach that had nothing to do with their own cultures, which have not experienced this sort of globalist cultural corruption, and who want no part of it. They resented being lumped in with this insulting, obscene, gibberish under the header 'Latino' whose values sure as heck don't represent them.

But for those who understood the actual lyrics, meaning, Latin Americans who speak Spanish, and Latinos in the U.S., it was another story. foul language:" . . .

"Here's a sampling of X responses from actual Latin Americans, and Latino Americans, for whom this nasty act supposedly catered, often using the typically blunt language of the region. Hit Grok Translate on the X site to see the English translation: . . ."

Somehow I feel it is not far from accurate to remark that this generation removed their pro-Hamas keffiyehs to don a sombrero for this dance party.

A man has been detained near the Mexican border in connection with Nancy Guthrie's abduction as police searched his property.

Man detained in connection to Nancy Guthrie abduction was caught in traffic stop near Mexico border as cops launch court-ordered search of home | Daily Mail Online   . . . "It remained unclear Tuesday night whether the suspect who was brought in for questioning was the same man who was seen in the surveillance footage, but TMZ reports the person who was detained is not a member of the Guthrie family.

"Authorities are now preparing to search a property associated with the detained individual, according to ABC News. 

"But federal authorities are looking at more than one 'person of interest,' FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News Tuesday night.

"He explained that the bureau's outreach to the private sector has shown 'there might be persons of interest in and around the area related to this event.'

"Patel did not elaborate on who may be under suspicion, but said authorities were working to eliminate anyone who might not actually be involved, adding that the agency's first priority is finding Nancy and 'right behind that is to find any others involved in this kidnapping case to make sure they're brought to justice.' " . . .

UPDATE: Nancy Guthrie's son-in-law disappears from public view as quirk in the law could mean his home is being searched without consent | Daily Mail Online  "Nancy Guthrie's son-in-law hasn't been seen in a week, but police and the FBI are able to search his home without his consent, even without a warrant.

"Tommaso Cioni was the last person to see the missing mother of NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie before she disappeared in the early hours of February 1. 

"He and his wife, the Today host's sister, Annie Guthrie, live in a sprawling $675,000 ranch-style house about four miles from Nancy's home in Tucson, Arizona.

"Annie has been a constant presence, appearing with her siblings, including brother Camron, in videos pleading with Nancy's kidnappers to bring her back unharmed. " . . .

Terrifying masked figure in latex gloves with gun seen on Nancy Guthrie's doorstep on morning of her kidnap | Daily Mail Online   

 "The nightmarish images were released by the FBI on Tuesday as the hunt for the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie enters its tenth day. 

"Clad in a ski mask, the figure was filmed tampering with Nancy's Nest doorbell camera. It is unclear if the figure is male or female, but some images appear to show facial hair above their top lip.

"Nancy did not have a subscription to Nest which would have uploaded the images and saved them to a cloud storage platform. This meant investigators took longer to extract the images from her camera.  

"A spokesman for the Pima County Sheriff's Department said: 'As of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie's front door on the morning of her disappearance.' 

"FBI Director Kash Patel added that the images showed an 'armed individual' tampering with the cameras. 

"What looks like a gun inside a holster appears to be clipped to them, one image shows them with what looks like a penlight in their mouth." . . . More...

UPDATE: Signs Nancy Guthrie suspect is amateur, according to FBI agent  

“He balls his fist up, and then you see him walk back out of the vestibule there. It appears he’s looking for something to conceal the camera. He reaches down and picks up some vegetation in an attempt to cover the camera,” he added.

“A sophisticated person would have brought something from the very beginning. Either a hammer or something to remove the camera, or spray paint,” Harrigan said." 

People Have a Little Fun With Some Epic Trolling of the Anti-ICE Crew

RedState  

"But to be fair, the anti-ICE crew already mock themselves with the silliness of their actions, like their "dildo action" over the weekend at the Whipple building.  They had a ton of dildos they were throwing at agents, sticking to the fences, and even mistakenly attacking the car of one of their own." 

"The whole anti-ICE thing is so unhinged. 

"Perhaps one of the most twisted things about it is that they think they are on the right side of the equation. They are somehow "fighting fascism" or whatever language they're using this week, because they're attacking ICE. But it's ICE that is enforcing the law enacted by the representatives of the people. 

"We wrote about how Blue Lives Matter was trolling them a bit on their accounts, about whether they were calling in false ICE reports. 

"There are other people also stepping up to do their part and have a little fun with them. 

"Dustin Grage asked the question about the funding the anti-ICE guys were getting because of the supplies they were stocking up on at the Whipple federal building in Minneapolis." . . .

The Story Of The HMS Dreadnought, The British Vessel That Revolutionized Battleship Design

 HMS Dreadnought, The Revolutionary British Battleship  

"The ship that [British Admiral Sir John]Fisher set out to build would become known as the HMS Dreadnought, a name that came from the saying “dread nought but God.' ”

"Feb. 10, 1906, King Edward VII smashed a bottle of champagne against the bow of the British Navy’s newest warship as a crowd of 60,000 watched. But the bottle didn’t break. It took the king multiple tries to finally shatter the glass, which, perhaps, shouldn’t have been surprising. The newly built HMS Dreadnought was unlike any ship that had ever existed.

"The Dreadnought was not only equipped with a stunning array of high-powered guns. It could not only outrun any other ship on the planet. It had also been built by the British Navy in roughly 12 months.

"World powers across the globe took notice, and the United States, Russia, and France swiftly started building “dreadnoughts” of their own. But the new British warship especially caught the attention of Germany.

"The Germans had long desired to become a world power, and they knew that a strong navy was key. Though the Germans had already started to expand their navy at the turn of the 20th century, the introduction of the HMS Dreadnought put this effort into overdrive. Before long, Germany and Great Britain were engaged in a naval arms race.

"On the eve of World War I, the two countries began to battle for supremacy at sea.

"The Brewing Naval Arms Race Between Great Britain And Germany

"At the turn of the 20th century, both Great Britain and Germany wanted to modernize their navies — although for different reasons.

"For Germany, it was a matter of being taken seriously as an empire. As a relatively new country — Germany had unified in 1871 — the Germans believed that a strong navy was the key to becoming a global power.

"Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz set out to make this dream a reality by building up the German Navy. The Navy Bills of 1898 and 1900 aimed to expand Germany’s network of ships, with the goal of creating a fleet that could stand up to the British. Tirpitz reasoned that if the Imperial German Navy was competitive with the Royal Navy, Great Britain would be more accommodating toward Germany’s ambition to become a world power." . . .
