WATCH: Trump Makes Surprising Comment on Kaepernick After Kneeling Controversy

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump lent some support Wednesday to former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, saying he “would love to see him get another shot” if he still has the skills to play in the league.

During an interview with Sinclair correspondent Scott Thuman, Trump was asked about Kaepernick, the then-San Francisco 49er who sparked a national debate in 2016 when he protested police brutality by kneeling during the national anthem, and whether or not the president believes Kaepernick “should get another shot in the NFL.”

“If he deserves it, he should. If he has the playing ability,” Trump said. “He started off great and then he didn’t end up very great in terms of as a player. He was terrific in his rookie year, I think he was very good in his second year, and then something happened. So his playing wasn’t up to snuff.”

The president continued: “The answer is absolutely I would. As far as kneeling — I would love to see him get another shot, but obviously he has to play well. If he can’t play well, I think it would be very unfair.”

WATCH: Poor Black Communities Devastated After BLM Riots Lead to New Food Deserts

/0 Comments/in , /by

Weeks of civil unrest, rioting, and looting by Black Lives Matter and antifa agitators in some of the poorest areas of the country have resulted in devastating consequences for the residents, who are mostly black or minority. A video was taken by a woman in an undisclosed location. As she walks through her neighborhood grocery store in tears she describes the wreckage as she looks for milk for her children. “Look at this. Every grocery store looks like this,” she said. “Everything is either on the floor…look at this. I came into the store to buy something because I’m not a thief,” she said. People who already couldn’t feed their kids, now they really can’t feed their kids,” she cried. “I am so devastated right now.”

“We couldn’t even find tissue less than two months ago and now it’s on the floor,” she said as she surveyed the damage. “I feel like an animal and black people made me feel like an animal. Y’all did that!” She continued to berate the rioters, “This is what we’re fighting for…we’re so black and proud that we ain’t never going to be honest and be real about what’s really going on. Y’all are so wrong for this.”

[Warning: video contains explicit language.]

. . .Neighborhoods near where I grew up outside of Chicago are devastated. One of my friends who lives on the south side of Chicago told me she and her husband have to drive to Indiana to get groceries now. There isn’t a grocery store anywhere near them that hasn’t been destroyed. She’s one of the lucky ones because she has a car. Many in her neighborhood don’t have transportation and they have no options to get to food stores now.

We have been berated and shamed for not supporting Black Lives Matter as an organization and “social movement,” but which is the more racist position: supporting the looting and burning of black neighborhoods where black people will suffer the consequences of more poverty, or supporting law and order and the protection of those neighborhoods and resources?

WATCH: Biden Used This Controversial Phrase About Confederate Heritage Group; This Is Who People Want to Replace Confederate Statues With

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Fox News. A recently resurfaced video clip shows Joe Biden calling members of a Confederate heritage group “fine people” in 1993 — nearly mirroring President Trump’s 2017 remarks that some protesters opposing the removal of Confederate statues in Charlottesville, Va., were “very fine people.”

Biden declared his 2020 presidential candidacy last year by charging that Trump, in those controversial comments made after white supremacists also joined those protests, had “assigned a moral equivalence between those spreading hate and those with the courage to stand against it.” Although Trump noted at the time that he was “not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists because they should be condemned totally,” Democrats and some top Republicans criticized him for not speaking out more forcefully from the start.

However, speaking at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on July 22, 1993, during the confirmation process for Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Biden himself offered something of a positive endorsement for the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC), which has been linked to the Ku Klux Klan.

“I, too, heard that speech and, for the public listening to this, the senator made a very moving and eloquent speech,” Biden said, referring to remarks by then-Alabama Democratic Sen. Howell Thomas Heflin. “As a son of the Confederacy, acknowledging that it was time to change and yield to a position that Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun raised on the Senate floor, not granting a federal charter to an organization made up of many fine people who continue to display the Confederate flag as a symbol.”

New petition advocates replacing confederate monuments with Dolly Parton statues

By Clarksville Now. A new petition suggesting that confederate monuments be replaced with statues of country music icon Dolly Parton have begun circulating throughout Tennessee, gathering thousands of signatures.

“History should not be forgotten, but we need not glamorize those who do not deserve our praise. Instead, let us honor a true Tennessee hero, Dolly Parton…Let’s replace the statues of men who sought to tear this country apart with a monument to the woman who has worked her entire life to bring us closer together,” says Alex Parsons, who started the petition.

The debate over confederate monuments and their removal from public spaces has become a hot topic in the past week as protests over police brutality and systemic racism continue across the country.

Wednesday, June 10, a committee of Tennessee lawmakers voted down a resolution (11-5) to remove the bust of Nathan Bedford Forrest, founder and first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, from the state capitol building.

Nurse Shares Undercover Video Bombshell About COVID-19 in New York

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Florida nurse-turned-undercover journalist who traveled to New York City to work at the hospital hardest-hit by the coronavirus pandemic says she witnessed negligent healthcare practices that very likely increased the COVID-19 death toll.

In an interview Saturday with Fox News, Erin Marie Olszewski, a registered nurse and U.S. Army veteran, said it was an “extremely common,” “everyday experience” for healthcare workers at Elmhurst Hospital in Queens — the “epicenter of the epicenter” for coronavirus in the U.S. — to not properly isolate patients infected with the virus.

“And, there was really no reason for that,” she said. “There were resources that were not being utilized. For instance, the Comfort ship, the Javits Center, and they had Samaritan’s Purse. So, we had options that weren’t utilized.”

Olszewski was referring to the USNS Comfort, one of the Navy’s two hospital ships, which President Donald Trump dispatched to New York City to take in non-coronavirus patients, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-established field hospital at the Javits Center.

By the time the outbreak in New York City was subsiding and the Comfort was ordered to return to its homeport in Norfolk, Va. in late April, the ship’s medical crew was, in fact, treating coronavirus patients — just not many, and, for that matter, not many patients, period. The ship only treated 182 total patients, 70 percent of whom were diagnosed with COVID-19 — out of a capacity of 1,000 beds.

WATCH: Governor Promises to Deny Funding for Police Departments That Don’t Pass Race Reforms

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said local New York police departments must pass race reforms or they will lose state funding.

During a press briefing on Saturday, Cuomo told protesters they “won” by protesting over the issues of police violence and systemic racism, introducing a plan in which communities will implement reforms consistent with their constituency’s demands. . .

“If you don’t do it, local government, you won’t get any state funding. Period. We’re not going to tell you what to do. But we’ll tell you have to go through the process. And you have to pass a law with your redesigned police force,” Cuomo said, setting a deadline for April 1.

WATCH: Seattle Police Chief Blasts City Officials, Says Leaving Precinct ‘Not My Decision’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Seattle’s police chief told her department Thursday it was “not my decision” to abandon a precinct in an area of the city taken over by protesters — and blasted city officials for giving in to the demonstrators.

In a video address published on the department’s YouTube page, Chief Carmen Best said the city “relented to severe public pressure.”

“You fought for days to protect [the precinct]. I asked you to stand on that line. Day in and day out, to be pelted with projectiles, to be screamed at, threatened and in some cases hurt,” Best told the force.

“Then to have a change of course nearly two weeks in, it seems like an insult to you and our community.”

“Ultimately the city had other plans for the building and relented to severe public pressure,” she added. “I’m angry about how this all came about.” (Read more from “Seattle Police Chief Blasts City Officials, Says Leaving Precinct ‘Not My Decision’” HERE)

Project Veritas Video: Antifa Chapter Head Admits Soros Funding, Association With Tom Steyer

/0 Comments/in , , /by

As part of its series of undercover videos exposing left-wing organizations like Antifa, Project Veritas released footage claiming to show far-left Democrat activists bragging about George Soros funding and political connections.

Tom Steyer – who unsuccessfully campaigned for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination for 2020 – and liberal financier George Soros are both named as financial contributors in the new clip on Refuse Fascism, an organization dedicated to removing President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence from office.

Andy Zee, national organizer for the group, mentions during the seven-minute video that Steyer “may not want to be directly connected” to the group because he has “political ambitions” that may be hurt by such a relationship, but Zee says the group is in communication with Steyer’s assistant and “main adviser on impeachment.”

Project Veritas is out with another installment in their series infiltrating antifa.

Biden: George Floyd’s Death Bigger Than MLK Assassination (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

During a round table in Philadelphia on Wednesday, Joe Biden claimed the death of George Floyd was bigger than the assassination of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Even Dr. King’s assassination did not have the worldwide impact that George Floyd’s death did,” Biden said with a mask dangling from his ear.

“Because just like television changed the civil rights movement for the better when they saw Bull Connor’s dogs ripping the clothes off of elderly black women who were trying to go to church, and fire hoses ripping the skin off of young kids,” he said.
