US women’s team refuse to sing national anthem before World Cup draw with Netherlands (yahoo.com)
The most stinging rebuke came from prominent journalist and media personality, Megyn Kelly, who said before the reigning champions’ second game of this World Cup, that they were damaging the country with their behaviour.
U.S. women’s soccer blasted for anthem stance (msn.com)
"The United States Women’s National Team started off the 2023 Women’s World Cup with a 3-0 win over Vietnam. But they also created controversy over their national anthem stance in the process. During the pre-match ceremony, the United States national anthem played over the stadium speakers in Auckland, New Zealand.
"But as it played, the majority of the players on the team chose not to sing the national anthem or put their right hands over their hearts for the playing of the song. A Newsweek report found that most of the U.S. women’s soccer team remained silent during the national anthem, with their fists behind their backs. Only five players placed their hands over their hearts, and only three of the starting 11 sang along.
"Because of this, the women’s team has been subject to criticism and has drawn the ire of many in the media, including Megyn Kelly, who ripped their actions as “disgusting.” Kelly addressed this on her SiriusXM’s The Megyn Kelly Show on Monday and absolutely tore into the team." . . .

"After biting people, Major was sent away like an unwanted grandchild."
"A lot of people seemed relieved that President Joe Biden was bringing a dog back to the White House after Donald Trump and his abnormal four-year term without any pets. You can't trust a man who doesn't have a dog, right?
"The first dog was named Major, and he was a major problem. After biting people, Major was sent away like an unwanted grandchild.
"Now the Bidens have Commander, but the New York Post reports that Commander has sent at least one person to the hospital for a bite. The Secret Service seems to be the preferred snack of the Biden dogs." . . .
. . ."Mr. Romney concluded his puzzling suggestion with this statement, in part:
Our party and our country need a nominee with character driven by something greater than revenge and ego....
"If the senator were truly a man of principle, not personal pique, he would recognize that former president Trump has, all along, been driven by dedication to the well-being of the American people -- not an entrenched oligarchy, and is opposed by a political force motivated by revenge -- and greed. How many millions of tax dollars are to be expended by partisan prosecutions intent on preventing the American people from choosing their next president -- $25 million, $40 million?
"Sen. Romney's purposeful obtuseness to the persecution by prosecution of a former president by a political enemy for that enemy's political advancement, to the injury of Mr. Trump, should cause voters to press the delete button on any and all public comments from the Utah senator -- starting with his call, in The Wall Street Journal, for an anti-Trump coalition of 40% of voters to thwart the rightful support for Mr. Trump of 60% of GOP voters.
"Sen. Romney's stratagem to block the former president from being our next president may well suit the ambitions of the Despotic Clique but makes no sense. But the past seven or eight years have made clear to the American people, Trump Derangement Syndrome is irrational in its origins -- and, thereby, a threat not only to the spirit of American democracy, but to national security. Rallying round the besieged candidacy of Donald J. Trump is very much in the national interest."
Sloan Oliver So CMT canceled Aldean? Perhaps CMT should be canceled as was Bud Light.
"Hold on, if Aldean released the song back in May, why is he just now being accused of racism, pro-lynching, etc.? Simple: Democrat voters (and their media) move from outrage to outrage. Today, the mob is angry at Aldean, not because of the video (they don’t care about it) but because he isn’t one of them."
"Biden voters are frothing mad at Jason Aldean’s latest video, “Try That in A Small Town.” Aldean’s video highlights the lawlessness that Antifa, BLM, and other Democrat groups carried out during the summer of 2020, all while his lyrics tell Dems they better not try such craziness in small town America.
"A little background, recall after George Floyd died of a drug OD (May 2020); Democrat cities erupted in months of destructive riots, firebombing of courthouses, car hijackings, murders, etc. It was frightening to watch the daily destruction by Democrat thugs as they torn down statues, vandalized and looted businesses, turned over and torched vehicles, and beat anyone unlucky enough to stumble upon their mayhem.
"It was such mayhem that Aldean’s song and video addresses. His lyrics support small-town values along with law enforcement. He tells those unlawful Dems that they best not try such antics in small towns like Forsyth, GA and Macon (Aldean’s home town) because the people living there won’t put up with such nonsense. You’d think such a message would resonate and for most of the country, it does. The problem is the woke Left is constantly enraged at everything. They claim that Aldean’s video is, wait for it… racist. Of course, it’s racist; everything’s racist to leftists. CMT (Country Music Television) considered it so racist they pulled it from circulation."

The president isn’t the only administration official to have his public statements on the matter challenged by conflicting evidence.
"Joe Biden has repeatedly denied any involvement with his son Hunter's business dealings, though recent revelations appear to have undercut that claim. But the president isn’t the only administration official to have his public statements on the matter come under scrutiny in the face of conflicting evidence.
"As House Republicans, led by Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., and Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, rigorously pursue investigations into the Biden family, their findings appear to have substantiated links of the commander-in-chief's prior involvement in the first son's endeavors, seemingly contradicting the claims of the elder Biden and his subordinates.
"Here are some of the most glaring statements from the commander-in-chief and his subordinates on the first son's dealings that have collided with contrary evidence.
Hunter Biden's art work sales
"During a July 9, 2021, press briefing, then-White House press secretary Jen Psaki addressed Hunter Biden's sale of artwork and concerns that his works may present conflicts of interest with the administration.
" 'After careful consideration, a system has been established that allows for Hunter Biden to work in his profession within reasonable safeguards," she said at the time. "Of course, he has the right to pursue an artistic career just like any child of a president has the right to pursue a career. But all interactions regarding the selling of art and the setting of prices will be handled by a professional gallerist adhering to the highest industry standards, and any offer out of the normal, of course, would be rejected out of hand."
"And the gallerist will not share information about buyers or prospective buyers, including their identities, with Hunter Biden or the administration, which provides quite a level of protection and transparency," she continued.
"The first son's art has appeared in the Georges Bergès Gallery in SoHo, with some works listing for as much as $85,000. Despite the alleged safeguards, the younger Biden did ultimately learn the identity of at least two buyers, including one who donated to his father's campaign.
"Business Insider reported that Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, whom President Biden tapped to serve on the Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad, purchased some of Hunter's art at an unspecified time. She gave $13,414 to the Biden campaign and $29,700 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation
"President Joe Biden himself, as well as numerous former Intelligence Community officials asserted that the Hunter Biden laptop story, which broke in late 2020, bore the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation operation." . . .Full article here.
The Atlantic The Babylon Bee, an online satire publication that launched in 2016, has become a popular destination for Christians disaffected with megachurch culture and right-wingers who crave clever commentary about the hypocritical left. Kyle Mann, the website’s editor in chief, sometimes gives talks on college campuses. For conservative students, he told me, “It’s like they found their underground cabal of secret comedians who agree with them.”
"Mann came to the comedy world almost by accident. He had a high-pressure job in construction sales before working at The Bee; he first got involved with the site by cold-pitching a joke. Although political humor drives much of The Bee’s web traffic, the publication’s signature hits focus on what the writers see as shallowness in the evangelical world. Christian humor is a big part of what drew Mann to the site: As a young man, he left the megachurch in which he was raised and moved toward more theologically conservative circles—”my rebellious teen stage,” as he put it.
"In his new book, The Babylon Bee Guide to Wokeness, co-authored with Joel Berry, The Bee’s managing editor, Mann includes a cartoon of a church with its steeple replaced by a raised fist, a symbol of Black Power and the Black Lives Matter movement. I wanted to understand whether Mann sees his jokes as part of a crusade against the left or as something else—and how he reconciles mocking people with the tenets of his faith. “Just being completely honest and vulnerable with you, there’s a level where you have to stop yourself and say, ‘This isn’t good for my soul,’” he told me.". . .

Today the Southern Poverty Law Center is a hate group itself. It’s a left-wing, money-grabbing smear machine.
"The Southern Poverty Law Center just released a report claiming there are 1,225 hate and anti-government groups in America. These groups cause “fear and pain (in) Black, brown, and LGBTQ communities.”
"The SPLC lists such groups on its “hate map.”
I once believed the center. Well-meaning people still do. Apple once gave them $1 million.
But what donors don’t know is that today, the SPLC smears good people, not just “haters.”
Ayaan Hirsi Ali grew up Muslim in Somalia, but now she criticizes radical Islam and sometimes (maybe this is what really bothers the SPLC) fraternizes with American conservatives. The center put Hirsi Ali on its list.
The center also smears the Family Research Council. I sometimes disagree with the council. But they don’t belong on a “hate map.”
"'When they don’t agree with you politically, they’re going to list you as a ‘hater,'” says council Executive Vice President Jerry Boykin in my new video.
“ 'You are a hater!” I tell him. “You hate gays.”
“ 'No, I don’t hate gay people!” he responds. “I know gay people, and I’ve worked with gay people.” The council merely opposed gay marriage, an opinion they shared with Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton …
"One man became so enraged by what the SPLC wrote, he went to the council’s headquarters to kill people. He shot a security guard. Fortunately, that wounded guard stopped him before he could shoot anyone else.
“He told the judge that he was there to kill as many of us as possible because we were a ‘hate group,'” says Boykin.
"The center also smears the Ruth Institute, a Christian group that believes adoption agencies should first try to place children with straight couples.
"I told Ruth Institute President Jennifer Morse that she must be “a hater.” . . .
The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft January 6 Prisoner Ryan Samsel called The Gateway Pundit last week. During our discussion Ryan described what Ray Epps told him on January 6.
"Ray Epps was seen whispering into Samsel’s ear before the bike rack barricades came down.
"A dead body was found in a pond near former President Barack Obama’s home in Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts on Monday morning.
"On Sunday night Massachusetts state police received a 911 call of a man on a paddle board struggling to stay afloat.
"Shortly after police received the call police officers and rescue teams were dispatched to Barack Obama’s address.
"Massachusetts state police in a statement stated “The victim is a 43-year-old male. His name is not being released at this time; we expect to release his name later today.”
The younger Biden has been in the headlines recently after allegations by IRS whistleblowers that criminal investigations into the first son have been tampered with.
Hunter Biden was seen on the balcony with his wife, Melissa Cohen, his daughter Finnegan Biden, and his son Beau Biden. Also present on the balcony were President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden." . . .
The Truth about the Biden Family Business Is Becoming Too Big to Hide "At a Jan. 26, 1998 White House event, with wife Hillary by his side, then-President Bill Clinton wagged his finger at reporters and said, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.” . . .
"Likewise, President Joe Biden has repeatedly denied having any knowledge of his son’s overseas business adventures, let alone the idea that he may have benefited financially from these deals. His emphatic denial in an October 2020 presidential debate was bolstered by a letter signed by 51 former high-ranking intelligence community officials that claimed the New York Post’s devastating story about Hunter Biden’s laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
"In April, House Republicans revealed that current Secretary of State Antony Blinken, then an adviser to Biden’s campaign, allegedly served as the “impetus” behind the letter." . . .
Since then, solid evidence of Biden’s involvement in the family influence peddling business has continued to mount.
Fargo recently elected State Rep. Hamida Dakane, its version of Rep. Ilhan Omar, to the state legislature representing the growing Muslim population in the area. Both Republicans and Democrats in the area and the state have their share of responsibility for this crisis.
Frontpage Mag "Mohamad Barakat packed three long guns, four handguns and a vest with magazines in every pocket, as he drove through Fargo, North Dakota. The Downtown Street fair, which claims over 150,000 visitors, was on its second day and 5 minutes away. The Red River Fair, which recorded nearly as many people, was two days away from ending and 15 minutes away.
"It’s unknown which of those locations Mohamad might have been headed to use up his 1,800 rounds of ammo and hand grenade, but he never got there.
"The Muslim terrorist joined other rubberneckers who stopped to look over the scene of an accident, but unlike them Mohamad was after more than a few pictures to put up on social media. The concentration of police officers and firefighters had proven to be irresistible.
"Al Qaeda and ISIS both encourage crowdsourced Muslim terrorists to take out law enforcement officers before hitting civilians. And Muslim terrorists, like the attacker who came after NYPD officers in Times Square with a machete during the New Year’s Eve ball drop, have done that.
"Mohamad was packing a whole lot more than a machete. Pretending to be a casual observer, he hung around waiting until police officers were passing nearby and then he opened fire.
"The Muslim terrorist raised his rifle and shot through the open car window of his gray sedan, ambushing three Fargo police officers, shooting and killing Officer Jake Wallin, an Afghanistan and Iraq war vet who had recently joined the force, and wounding Officer Andrew Dotas and Officer Tyler Hawes. He also shot and wounded Karlee Koswick: a young woman who had been in the accident. Dotas and Hawes were saved by their flak jackets and by the courageous firefighters on the scene who stayed under cover while Mohamad shot at them, but then rushed to help the wounded officers and kept them alive until they could be brought to a hospital.
"And then Mohamad ran into trouble." . . .
What was wrong with the descendants of Swedes that they needed to be replaced by Somalis, Iraqis, Sudanese, Bosnians and other “diverse” representatives of an ideology that believes infidels need to be killed at shopping malls and street fairs? How many times must the cry of “Allahu Akbar” rise over bloody bodies until the desire for diversity is finally staunched?
