MUST WATCH: CBS Rejects Patriotic, Pro-Flag Super Bowl Ad From Vet-Owned Company

/0 Comments/in , , /by

CBS has rejected an ad from a veteran-owned athletic wear company, likely over concerns that the ad was “too political.”

The ad, which “features soldiers, first responders, and images of military graves decorated with American flags and gives credit to them for protecting the rights of those like Kaepernick to protest,” was titled “Just Stand,” and promoted clothing from Nine Line apparel, a veteran-owned athletic wear company, according to the Washington Examiner.

CBS reportedly told Nine Line that they weren’t confident the company, which pulls in a cool $25 million per year, could afford the steep, $5.25 million price tag for a 30-second spot during Sunday night’s big game, but a spokesperson for Nine Line says CBS objected to the ad’s overly political content.

The ad parodies a Nike ad from earlier in the NFL season that featured former 49ers second string quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who is best known for “taking a knee” during the national anthem as a way of protesting racism. The controversial Nike ad celebrated Kaepernick for “sacrifing everything.” . . .

Nine Line’s ad opens with a similar line, narrated by a survior of the horrific attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, which took the lives of four American officials and the American ambassador. The ad opens with the line, “Don’t ask if your loyalty is crazy. Ask if it’s crazy enough.”

Veteran: “I Do Not Recognize My Country. This Is Not the America I Grew up in, or Honorably Served”

/0 Comments/in , , /by

I don’t know how you feel about your future, but I am concerned about the very survival of our Blessed Nation, the U.S. Constitution, our fundamental freedoms, and our academic institutions with their Secular Socialist indoctrination of our youth, our future leaders. This subtle moral decline following the removal of God from our nation, schools and public square has been going on for decades. Now it seems to have reached a crucial point, especially following the midterm election of Democratic Socialists and Muslims to the U.S. Congress. Unfortunately, I do not recognize my country. This is not the America I grew up in, or honorably served.

Never have I seen such absolute hatred demonstrated daily toward our president as we see against President Trump by the mainstream media, Hollywood, Democrats and elitist Republicans. Its alarming to see the corrupt Republican leadership in the Senate and Congress blocking President Trump’s agenda along with the total corruption of the FBI, DOJ, CIA and IRS in their attempt to destroy President Trump and his presidency. And, never have I seen such hate and disrespect toward Constitutional Justices as we witnessed against Justice Kavanaugh and also against anyone supporting President Trump.

The Mueller investigation is an absurd illegal corrupt investigation based upon lies and false evidence. Their latest gestapo-like break-in and raids on anyone associated with President Trump is alarming. Their wiliness to rapidly prosecute anyone associated with the Trump administration and the obvious unwillingness to prosecute anyone associated with these government agencies, the Obamas or the Clintons that have habitually lied and falsified documents shows an alarming judicial double standard.

Why is this happening? And why such hate? President Trump is a threat and real present danger in exposing the lies and corruption of the Deep State, The Democratic Party, the elite establishment in the Republican Party and the out-of-control bureaucracy (now the fourth branch of government).

Why are the Senate and House Democratic Leaders so adamant to impeach President Trump? Why do the Democrats want to maintain open borders and encourage the invasion of illegal aliens coming into our nation? Why is our country so culturally divided? Why is there such hate throughout our nation?

Please consider reading DEATH OF A NATION, by Dinesh D’Souza and watch the DVD if you wonder why. I have read several of his books and other excellent books on Trump and the Deep State. I found this book to be historically informative and extremely alarming on how “We the People” have been lied to and deceived by our elected politicians, especially the Progressive Secular Socialist Democrats.

The main purpose of government is national security. Our government has failed to protect its citizens from this invasion of drugs, crime and human trafficking. President Trump is actually changing this, and they hate him. Let us persist in supporting President Trump. Let’s make “America Great Again” – but first we must make “God Great Again”. It is only through prayer and God’s Divine guidance can our country be saved. If God is for us, who can be against us? In the end God wins. What side of history do we want to be on?

The 2020 election (local, state and national) is crucial in restoring our Judeo-Christian Heritage, American Exceptionalism and a turning point in saving our nation from the Progressive Secular Socialist Democratic Machine!

Largest U.S. Christian University Blocks Ben Shapiro From Speaking on Campus. Then Officials Release Statement.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Officials at Grand Canyon University, the largest Christian university in the United States, last week blocked conservative commentator Ben Shapiro from speaking on campus as part of an upcoming Young Americans Foundation event.

Now, the university is facing criticism after officials released a lengthy statement explaining the decision to bar Shapiro. . .

In a scathing statement Friday, YAF spokesman Spencer Brown revealed that GCU officials told students the university would not “provide a venue” for Shapiro’s upcoming speech.

School administrators reportedly also said that Shapiro’s speech style is divisive and “cut throat.” Additionally, YAF reported that GCU president Brian Mueller personally approved denying Shapiro a venue, believing the university would dodge negative media attention.

Brown said in a statement: “By caving to an unseen mob and ignoring the popularity of Shapiro among its student body, Grand Canyon University just played itself and deserves whatever negative response this brings. GCU has abandoned the sentiment of its own proclaimed values, deluded itself into acting like the liberal campuses it claims to differ from, and blindly accepted the Left’s ludicrous argument that Shapiro’s presence somehow damages students, campuses, or debate.” (Read more from “Largest U.S. Christian University Blocks Ben Shapiro From Speaking on Campus.

U.S. City Is Dealing With a Deadly, Flea-Borne Typhus Outbreak

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The city of Los Angeles is suffering from an outbreak of a “middle ages” and “pioneer days” disease —typhus — typically found in homeless populations.

The outbreak began in October, according to CNN, with 57 cases of the flea- and flea feces-borne disease in downtown Los Angeles, not typically a hotbed of rare diseases. That was up from around 6 cases over the summer, all found in people “experiencing homelessness.” . . .

A local NBC affiliate says city officials assumed that the disease would remain largely within the homeless population, but lately, cases of typhus have been cropping up among an unexpected group of people: city officials. . .

Greenwood speculates that she got typhus fever from fleas riding on the rats that occasionally infest Los Angeles city buildings. Those fleas get their typhus from piles of garbage surrounding homeless encampments throughout the city. . .

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who recently announced he would not pursue a presidential campaign in 2020, has been trying to control the typhus epidemic largely by allocating funds for trash cleanup, particularly in areas where homeless people gather to live for extended periods of time, including the city’s famous Skid Row.

These Are the Celebrities Who Refused to Perform During the Super Bowl Halftime Show

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Multiple artists were asked to perform during the coveted Super Bowl halftime show. There were quite a few who decided to turn down the gig. Their reason? They supposed Collin Kaepernick kneeling to “bring awareness” to supposed instances of police brutality and racial inequality. His actions started a political firestorm involving the National Football League. Other players began following suit and conservative football lovers who disagreed with the supposed policy brutality boycotted tuning into games.

Ultimately, Maroon 5, Big Boi of Outkast and rapper Travis Scott agreed to perform during the show. In order for Scott to agree to perform, the NFL had to agree to make a $500,000 donation to The Dream Corps, a progressive organization founded by CNN’s Van Jones. . .

[Cardi B] “My husband [Rapper Offset], he loves football. His kids play football. It’s really hard for him. … He really wants to go to the Super Bowl, but he can’t go to the Super Bowl, because he’s got to stand for something,” the rapper told the Associated Press. “You have to sacrifice that. I got to sacrifice a lot of money to perform. But there’s a man who sacrificed his job for us, so we got to stand behind him.” . . .

The NFL and CBS really wanted Rihanna to be next year’s performer in Atlanta,” the source explained. “They offered it to her, but she said no because of the kneeling controversy. She doesn’t agree with the NFL’s stance.” . . .

Another singer who decided not to participate was Pink. According to Entertainment Tonight, Pink decided to move on because the the negotiations were taking too long. (Read more from “These Are the Celebrities Who Refused to Perform During the Super Bowl Halftime Show” HERE)

Soldiers Will Soon Be Armed With These Game-Changing Drones That Fit in the Palm of Your Hand

/0 Comments/in , /by

Measuring just 6.6 inches in length and weighing only 1.16 ounces, these “nano unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems” are “small enough for a dismounted soldier to carry on a utility belt,” according to FLIR Systems.

These drones can provide situational awareness beyond visual line-of-sight capability day or night at a distance of up to 1.24 miles, covering ground at a max speed of 20 feet per second.

The “nearly silent” combat systems can provide constant covert coverage of the battlefield for almost a half hour, transmitting both live video and high-definition photographs back to the operator.

FLIR said the drone’s ability to covertly detect and identify threats will save the lives of troops in combat.

The Army is looking at a number of technologies that will allow soldiers to spot and even fire on enemies without putting themselves in harm’s way, such as night vision goggles connected to an integrated weapons sight that allows troops to shoot from the hip and around corners with accuracy.

ISIS Brutality Leading Some Muslims to Convert to Christianity

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. A new Christian church in Kobani, a city along the Syrian-Turkish border, is attracting converts who have seen and experienced brutality at the hands of the militant group ISIS. . .

Jasim attends the Church of the Brethren, one of the first Christian churches to appear in the area in decades. His move is a bold one, as those who abandon Islam are often shunned by their families and communities. . .

Jasim, a mechanic, told the news outlet he converted to Christianity late last year. In early 2016, he was jailed by ISIS for not knowing the basics teachings of Islam. According to Jasim, he was tortured by the militant group and forced to read the Quran.

The church’s priest declined to be interviewed and one church leader spoke only on the condition of not using his last name, NBC reported. They cited safety concerns as the reason. . .

The Church of the Brethren opened in September and that’s when Jasim decided to find out more about it. The Protestant church is part of a denomination that dates back to 18th-century Germany, the report states. (Read more from “ISIS Brutality Leading Some Muslims to Convert to Christianity” HERE)

Life Under ISIS Led These Muslims to Christianity

By NBC News. Four years have passed since the Islamic State group’s fighters were run out of Kobani, a strategic city on the Syrian-Turkish border, but the militants’ violent and extreme interpretation of Islam has left some questioning their faith.

A new church is attracting converts. It is the first local Christian place of worship for decades.

“If ISIS represents Islam, I don’t want to be a Muslim anymore,” Farhad Jasim, 23, who attends the Church of the Brethren, told NBC News. “Their God is not my God.”

Religious conversions are rare and taboo in Syria, with those who abandon Islam often ostracized by their families and communities. . .

While residents are still dealing with the emotional scars left by the brutality of ISIS, Omar says many people in Kobani have been open-minded about Christianity. (Read more from “Life Under ISIS Led These Muslims to Christianity” HERE)

Israeli Officials Announce Start of Construction on New Steel Barrier Along Gaza Border

/0 Comments/in , /by

Israel is working on its own version of a border wall. The Defense Ministry announced Sunday that it began building the above-ground portion of the Gaza border barrier, Haaretz.com, an Israeli news outlet reported. . .

The galvanized steel fence will span 40 miles and stand 20 feet high. Additionally, the western portion of the barrier will connect to the new sea barrier being built by the Israel Defense Forces.

The fence is designed to “prevent terrorists from Gaza from penetrating into our territory on the ground,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told media before the weekly cabinet meeting, the website France24 reported.

In addition, the structure is designed to prevent the construction of underground tunnels from Gaza. The project is estimated to cost the equivalent of about $833 million U.S. dollars. Its concrete wall will have sensors, according to Haaretz. . .

Palestinians have gathered along the Gaza border in numerous violent protests because they want to return to the land their families left during the war in 1948. They also want to end the blockade of Gaza by the Jewish state. At least 246 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire in Gaza since March 30. The majority happened during border protests but others were the result of “tank fire and airstrikes,” France 24 reported.

Democrats’ Inexorable Abortion Logic Has Finally Caught Up With Them

/0 Comments/in , /by

This week, Democrats finally succumbed to the inescapable logic of abortion. They have admitted, perhaps against their better judgement, that there really is no difference between abortion and infanticide.

Between New York’s expansive new abortion legislation, a bill now before the Virginia General Assembly, and Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s infamous comments about making a just-born infant “comfortable” while the mother and a physician discuss whether to snuff its life out, there can be no doubt that Democrats have acceded to the demands of their own ruthless logic on abortion.

What that logic demands is nothing less than unrestricted abortion up to the moment of birth and after. There is almost nothing in these bills to limit late-term abortion. Indeed, they constitute a strenuous effort to free late-term abortion of any kind of medical justification.

The Virginia bill, for example, would change state law to allow third-trimester abortions if the continuation of the pregnancy is likely to “impair the mental or physical health of the woman”—removing the qualifiers “substantially and irremediably.”

In other words, almost any impairment—anxiety, depression, physical discomfort—is enough to justify abortion up to the point of delivery. As my colleague David Harsanyi pointed out on Twitter, is there a difference between aborting a fetus in the third trimester because it’s causing the mother emotional distress, and killing a premature infant in the NICU for the same reason? If there is a difference, what is it? Will any Democrat say?

WATCH: Women See the Horrific Reality of Abortion in These Stunning Videos

/0 Comments/in , /by

Live Action, the pro-life organization founded by Lila Rose, has an ongoing video series in which they approach men and women who identify as pro-choice, and try to change their minds.

The series follows a simple format. A person behind the camera first asks the pro-choice individuals their beliefs about abortion, then has them watch a video narrated by former abortionist, Dr. Anthony Levatino. These videos, which can be viewed in their entirety here, feature animated depictions of various abortion procedures as described by Levatino. . .

While watching the video, the women begins to cry. During the post-video interview, she says:

I didn’t know that you’d have to detach and crush, and the process it goes through, and all the risks that happen with this. So now that I do know, I just — you can, there are so many other options apart from abortion, and I know it sucks, and like, the consequences, and how it happened, and why you might want an abortion, but there’s always another option. And [you’ve] just got to suck it up because it’s a life.

The person behind the camera notes that prior to watching the video, the woman had said that there were “certain instances [or] circumstances where you would support it, in cases of rape, for example.” She was then asked if the video changed her mind. The woman replies that the video has indeed changed her mind.
