WATCH: Gym Bars Vet From Wearing ‘Racist’ T-Shirt

A Missouri gym owner reportedly told an Army veteran that his “racist” pro-Trump t-shirt was not to be worn in her gym, because she stands for “tolerance.”

Staff Sgt. Jake Talbot posted a short video to Facebook on Sunday recalling the incident. “The owner, Liz, came up to me and said that the Trump shirt I had on was offensive and said I needed to remove it in order to work out there, and that it is linked to racism,” Talbot said. “I hate the word, its used way too loosely. It’s 2019, get the hell over it, it’s not racism.” . . .

The gym owner, identified as Liz Drew by The Washington Post, told KMOV4 that she approached Talbot because the Trump shirt “made several members uncomfortable.”

Drew released a statement to the gym’s Facebook page, which appears to have been removed from Facebook.

“I am deeply saddened by the amount of hate this event has garnered,” the statement said, as reported by KMOV4. “I will personally and publicly continue to defend my stance for tolerance and against hate no matter the financial consequence… Allow me to clarify. I don’t believe our gym should be a political forum for anyone. I want everyone to feel safe and comfortable there. We are all trying to improve ourselves and work hard to change.” (Read more from “WATCH: Gym Bars Vet From Wearing ‘Racist’ T-Shirt” HERE)

Iran Nuclear Chief Confirms Iran Violated Nuclear Deal

In yet another confirmation of Iran’s blatant violation of the terms of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which is committed to translating into English otherwise-hidden primary source material from the Arab and Muslim world, has reported that the terrorist regime in Tehran secretly purchased replacements for its nuclear infrastructure that the nuclear deal had otherwise required it to destroy. Per MEMRI:

Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, was interviewed on Channel 4 TV (Iran) on January 22, 2019. He said that the negotiations surrounding the JCPOA had required Iran to destroy the Arak reactor’s calandria by filling it with cement, but that Iran had secretly acquired replacement tubes ahead of time so that the reactor’s functionality would not be ultimately affected. He also said that pictures that had circulated that showed the Arak reactor’s pit filled with cement had been photoshopped. He explained that Iran has no intention to build a nuclear weapon, and that the Arak reactor is nonetheless incapable of producing weapons-grade plutonium. In addition, Salehi said that the yellowcake production facilities in Ardakan are operational and that Iran has been authorized to produce two additional IR-8 centrifuges. Salehi added that Iran has advanced rapidly in the field of nuclear propulsion.

Petty Revenge: House Judiciary Democrat Says Justice Kavanaugh Likely to Be Investigated for Perjury

. . .All I can say is…when the changing of the guard happens, and Democrats nominate someone, Republicans should no zero reservations if they want to wage a slash and burn campaign. It may be sad. It could be someone who is a good person, but this is politics. That person’s world must be burned to ash. Hey, we didn’t make these rules; the Democrats did.

. . .Hopefully Trump can nominate another SCOTUS appointment before he leaves office, Kavanaugh will once again come under siege by Democrats lusting for his blood. The House Judiciary Committee, now helmed by dirty Democrats, plans to investigate him for perjury (via Fox News):

A freshman Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee told constituents the panel will “likely” investigate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh for purportedly committing perjury during his confirmation hearings last fall.

In a video sent out by conservative activist group America Rising, Rep. Joe Neguse, D-Colo., was recorded Friday saying he believes the Supreme Court justice committed perjury while under questioning from Congress — though did not point to a specific statement.

“There’s no question [Kavanaugh] committed perjury during the confirmation hearings and so forth,” Neguse said, responding to a question about the possibility of impeaching Kavanaugh. “I think the Judiciary Committee is likely to take that up.”

John Kerry Calls for Trump to RESIGN

John Kerry is spending a lot of time in foreign countries these days actively agitating against the president of the United States.

So it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos on Tuesday, the former secretary of state called on President Trump to resign from office.

Asked whether he would have any words of advice for the president if he had the opportunity to talk to him directly, Kerry responded:

“I can’t play that. I just — I would — but I know that — you see, because he doesn’t take any of this seriously. He doesn’t have the ability to have that kind of conversation,” Kerry started, before concluding that he would tell the president: “Resign.”

Earlier in the conversation, the Obama administration official claimed that “people will die” because the Trump administration pulled out of the Paris climate accords, a decision that saved the American taxpayer hundreds of billions of dollars.

“People will die because of the president’s decision,” Kerry said at a “The Future of Our Oceans” panel.

This is far from the first time that John Kerry has registered his displeasure with the president. In fact, Kerry has frequently attempted to foil this administration’s American foreign policy. In the past year, Kerry has advised rogue adversarial regimes on how to get the best of the Trump administration

In September, Kerry was spotted in Europe advising representatives from the terrorist regime in Iran on how to thwart U.S. sanctions. President Trump condemned the disgraced former secretary of state, describing his actions as “illegal.”

Last year, the former secretary of state was advising Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on how to thwart President Trump’s Middle East initiatives.

“Hold on and be strong,” Kerry told an adviser to the Palestinian president, insisting that the Palestinians should not “yield to President Trump’s demands.” (For more from the author of “John Kerry Calls for Trump to RESIGN” please click HERE)

Here’s What You Need to Know About the Viral Confrontation Between Covington Catholic Students and Native American Protesters

By Daily Wire. On Saturday, a video went viral, seemingly showing a group of Catholic high school students confronting and harassing a Native American protester who appeared to be peacefully playing a drum, but by Saturday night it was clear the confrontation wasn’t the end of the story.

The three-minute video was posted online by a group of Native American protesters who claimed they were harassed and intimidated by a group of Covington Catholic High School students waiting for their bus near the Lincoln Memorial. The video is heavily clipped at the beginning and end, and shows only an apparent “confrontation” between a protester named Nathan Phillips and a Make America Great Again-hat wearing teen. . .

He and others accused the teens of chanting “build the wall” and hurling racial epithets at the group of Native Americans. Phillips said that the MAGA-hat wearing student closest to him taunted him — an assessment that was immediately adopted by most commentators, who compared the student to a white student taunting black customers at a Civil Rights lunch counter, and in some cases, even threatened the student outright.

Saturday night, a two-hour long, full video of the confrontation became widely available on social media, and that video shows a very different interaction than the one initally portrayed. The video, taken from the point of view of a second group of protesters who witnessed the interaction, shows that Phillips approached the teens — not the other way around, as Phillips claims — and that the teens were relatively peaceful during the incident, laughing and clapping along with Phillips’ drumming, and occasionally asking questions like, “what is going on here?”

Phillips and the students chanted together for a few minutes before the students appear to lose interest and filter away. During that time, though, Phillips claims he felt threatened, though separate videos seem to show that a handful of Native American protesters were taunting the students with racially tinged chants.

The Real Story Behind Native American Protest Revealed

By The Daily Caller. Catholic high school boys in MAGA hats became the villains in a weekend viral video storm that left out context and facts to drive a narrative — and media outlets were quick to promote the story without digging further.

The New York Times published an article titled “Boys in ‘Make America Great Again’ Hats Mob Native American Elder at Indigenous People’s March,” and multiple other outlets framed the story in the same way.

But as multiple sources began to provide context — background information and additional videos — the original story began to take on an entirely different shape. The boys, who certainly might have handled the situation better, were surrounded by adults who also might have done the same, and the media chose to report only one side of that story. . .

Although the posted videos did not include any of these things, it was reported that the person who took the video had heard the boys chanting “build the wall and other Trumpisms” and claimed that the boys were just looking for “ANY opportunity to get violent.”

All accounts and videos were in agreement on at least a few key points — namely that at one point, for at least a short time, Phillips and the others in his small group were more or less surrounded by the group of boys. Phillips made no visible attempt to leave, however, and the boys made no visible attempt to prevent him from doing so. (Read more from “The Real Story Behind Native American Protest Revealed” HERE)

Suspect Jailed in Connection With String of 4 Killings in Northern Nevada That Put Residents on Edge

By The Nevada Independent. Authorities say they have arrested a man they believe is connected to four killings that have shaken Northern Nevada and put residents on edge over the past two weeks.

Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam says Wilbur Ernesto Martinez Guzman, a Carson City resident who is either 19 or 20, was taken into custody Saturday afternoon on suspicion of burglary, possession of stolen property and immigration law violations. He’s being held in the Carson City Detention Center under 24-hour watch from medical and mental health personnel. . .

The killings began in Gardnerville, the Douglas County community about 50 miles from Reno, when two women, Connie Koontz, 56, and Sophia Renken, 74, were killed inside their homes earlier this month only miles apart. The two victims were found Jan. 10 and Jan. 13 — within four days of each other.

They later learned from immigration officials that Martinez Guzman was likely in the country illegally and could be detained on those grounds. Furlong said activities that raised concern for public safety prompted immigration officials and Carson City deputies to take him into custody Saturday afternoon a few blocks south of the state capitol.

Fact Check: No, Pence Did Not Compare President Trump to MLK Jr.

This was a banner weekend for fake news. First, BuzzFeed News got a “bombshell” story on the Mueller investigation so wrong that Mueller’s team issued a response disputing BuzzFeed’s reporting. Next, a group of MAGA hat-wearing Catholic high school students at the March for Life were subjected to a two-minute hate after the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, and other MSM outlets wildly mischaracterized a video supposedly showing the kids harassing a Native American man. Nothing of the kind happened. In fact, it was the kids who were being harassed and it seems the Native American man lied to the media about what happened.

Now, Newsweek, RawStory, and others are claiming Vice President Mike Pence compared President Trump to Martin Luther King Jr. in an interview on Face the Nation. That is fake news.

Newsweek’s headline reads: “Mike Pence compares Trump to Martin Luther King Jr. on eve of MLK Day: Both ‘inspired us to change.” And that narrative prompted outrage:

You get the idea. Mike Pence is the worst human being alive not named Donald Trump because he “compared” Trump to Martin Luther King Jr. Now, here’s what Pence actually said after CBS’ Margaret Brennan asked him if Trump’s proposal to trade a three-year DACA extension and temporary protected status for refugees to reopen the government with partial wall funding is “genuine”:

I think what we saw the president do yesterday was say, “I want to set the table for us resolving this issue” in a way that achieves his objectives to secure the border, end the humanitarian security crisis, end the government shutdown, but also to bring together the Democrats’ priorities to accomplish that. That’s what the American people expect us to do.

And honestly, you know, the hearts and minds of the American people today are thinking a lot about it being the weekend where we remember the life and the work of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. One of my favorite quotes from Dr. King was, ‘Now is the time to make real the the promises of democracy.” You think of how he changed America, he inspired us to change through the legislative process, to become a more perfect union. That’s exactly what President Trump is calling on the Congress to do, come to the table in a spirit of good faith. We’ll secure our border, we’ll reopen the government, and we’ll move our nation forward as the president said yesterday to an even broader discussion about immigration reform in the months ahead. [Emphasis added.]

Pence did not say Donald Trump is “exactly like” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He did not compare Trump to Dr. King at all. Pence said that Trump is “calling on the Congress” to “make real the promises of democracy,” as Dr. King put it, by coming to the table and negotiating a deal to reopen government. Pence, in other words, is asking Congress to legislate: to act like the lawmaking body of a democratic republic, compromise, and govern well.

To represent Pence’s comments as comparing Trump to Dr. King is straight-up fake news. You would have to intentionally misread or mishear what Pence is saying to come away with the take that he’s disrespecting Dr. King’s legacy by comparing him to Trump.

Watch Company Responds to Gillette’s ‘Toxic Masculinity’ Ad With Video That Celebrates Men

A watch company has created a video called “What Is a Man?” in response to Gillette’s recent ad. The shaving company’s commercial sparked a controversy because many people found it to be insulting and condescending to men. . .

Egard Watch CEO Ilan Srulovicz told the Conservative Tribune he wanted to make a video that would uplift men and illustrate the beauty of true masculinity. He also told the news outlet he wanted to show some statistics about men that are often ignored. . .

Gillette’s ad invoked the MeToo movement and showed scenes of gender discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying. The reaction was heated, but it earned millions of views on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. The ad appeared amid the company’s struggles with revenue and growing competition from other company’s, the Associated Press reported. The news outlet also called it an appeal to reach a younger audience. . .

WATCH: CNN Questions If Karen Pence Should Get Secret Service Protection Because She’s a Christian

During a segment discussing Second Lady Karen Pence teaching art at a Christian school, CNN host John King questioned if Mrs. Pence should be receiving taxpayer-funded Secret Service protection or government-funded housing because of her religious beliefs.

“Does it matter that all taxpayers pay for her housing; all taxpayers pay for her Secret Service protection?” asked King. “It’s not her fault that she needs protection – this is world we live in. But all taxpayers subsidize her life. Does it matter?” . . .

“So, you mean: Do her First Amendment freedoms get somehow curtailed because taxpayers pay for her accommodations and her security?” asked SiriusXM’s Chief Washington Correspondent Olivier Knox, trying to wrap his head around the suggestion. “I don’t know that a lot of people would sign onto that,” Knox stated bluntly. . .

Mrs. Pence was recently the subject of liberal scorn when it was revealed that she teaches at a Christian school that abides by biblical Christian teachings regarding homosexuality and premarital sex.

CNN reporter Kate Bennett tweeted an article from left-leaning outlet The Huffington Post, writing, “So, lemme get this straight, the second lady of the United States has chosen to work at a school that openly discriminates against LGBT adults and children.”
