Chuck Norris Backs Brilliant Idea to Fund Southern Border Wall

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. . .Yes, Chuck Norris, who starred in a bunch of martial arts movies, is still a bada** at age 78. And although he hasn’t been in a movie since 2012, Norris has kept busy writing several books on martial arts, exercise, philosophy, politics, Christian religion, and westerns, twice earning the title of New York Times best-selling author.

On Sunday, Norris penned a piece for WND, formerly known as World Net Daily. In the piece, headlined “An incredible solution to building the border wall,” Norris backs a proposal to have Mexico’s biggest drug lord fund construction of a barrier on the U.S.-Mexico border.

“I have written many articles over the years, but I have never written an article more important than this one. While Democrat and Republican leaders in Washington are polarized and in gridlock over how to pay for a wall on the U.S. southern border with Mexico, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) is a Lone Ranger with a Tonto-sized idea riding into town to get the job done in a way that would cost taxpayers nothing at all,” he writes.

Cruz put out the proposal in April 2017, but it’s been forgotten (at least until Chuck Norris got his hands on it). Cruz wants “El Chapo” (real name Joaquin Guzman) to forfeit his $14 billion in assets to the U.S. government, which could then use the money for the barrier.

“Fourteen billion dollars will go a long way toward building a wall that will keep Americans safe and hinder the illegal flow of drugs, weapons, and individuals across our southern border,” Cruz said in a statement at the time. “Ensuring the safety and security of Texans is one of my top priorities. We must also be mindful of the impact on the federal budget. By leveraging any criminally forfeited assets of El Chapo and his ilk, we can offset the wall’s cost and make meaningful progress toward achieving President Trump’s stated border security objectives.” (Read more from “Chuck Norris Backs Brilliant Idea to Fund Southern Border Wall” HERE)

An Incredible Solution to Building the Border Wall

By WND. I have written many articles over the years, but I have never written an article more important than this one. While Democrat and Republican leaders in Washington are polarized and in gridlock over how to pay for a wall on the U.S. southern border with Mexico, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) is a Lone Ranger with a Tonto-sized idea riding into town to get the job done in a way that would cost taxpayers nothing at all.

Because I live in the border state of Texas, it has made this issue even more personal to me. I also have many black belts that live in Mexico that are hindered by this crisis to even be able to visit the U.S. legally in order to attend our annual United Fighting Arts Federation (UFAF) Convention in Las Vegas. . .

If you didn’t know, El Chapo is almost entirely responsible for the majority of drugs that come up through the U.S. southern border. As the co-founder and head of the Sinaloa Cartel, he is the #1 supplier of marijuana, cocaine, heroin and methamphetamines into the U.S. If you or your loved ones have ever tried or been addicted to illegal drugs, odds are they originated from the Sinaloa Cartel. . .

s Sen. Cruz’s EL CHAPO Act not a brilliant idea to fund the border wall between the U.S. and Mexico? And guess what? A Mexican pays for it after all – one evil hombre who has repeatedly raped America’s communities and the souls of precious millions through narcotics and other criminalities for the past three decades.

Think of the impact passing the EL CHAPO Act could have. First, El Chapo’s drug monies could fully fund the completion of the entire U.S. southern border wall without a single dime more from the federal government or American taxpayers. Second, simultaneously the majority of El Chapo’s own drug trafficking into our country would be greatly diminished using his own monies. Third, president Trump could fulfill his primary campaign promise. Fourth, the Democrats would be able to open their government the same day the EL CHAPO Act passed.

Chuck Norris Files Lawsuit Against Two Huge Media Companies

/0 Comments/in , /by

Action star Chuck Norris has filed a lawsuit against CBS and Sony Pictures for $30 million, alleging that the companies did not pay him an agreed-upon portion of the profits from “Walker, Texas Ranger,” a 1990s TV show he starred in.

According to the breach-of-contract suit, filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court by Norris’ Top Kick Productions, CBS agreed to pay the actor a sizable percentage of the profits from the hit TV series, but then failed to do so.

Norris was supposed to get 23 percent “of the profits earned from any, and all, exploitation of ‘Walker,’” the suit reads.

“Instead, CBS and Sony materially breached the contractual duties they owed to Mr. Norris and his company Top Kick,” the lawsuit adds.

“Specifically, the Defendants have consciously sought to market, sell and distribute Walker in ways that are designed to collect significant fees and revenues from the ongoing exploitation of Walker but without having to honor or pay Top Kick, and to instead materially breach the 23 Percent Profit Clause.”

Norris and his legal team are arguing that CBS agreed to distribute the series in part due to Norris’ “success, history, brand and image.”

Moreover, the suit claims that both CBS and Sony used on-demand services — rather than TV and DVD — to avoid having to pay Norris what he is rightfully owed, as reported by Fox News.

Top Kick Productions says both companies’ actions have cost the actor millions of dollars over the years.

“Defendants have rejected, ignored and failed to consider offers from third parties who were willing to pay a premium license fee for ‘Walker,’ because Defendants preferred to self-deal by negotiating special licensing deals, with minimal fees, with their own networks,” the suit reads.

“This has cost Top Kick millions of dollars in past and future license fees.”

All eight seasons of “Walker, Texas Ranger” aired on CBS between 1993 and 2001. The show starred Norris as Texas Ranger Cordell Walker.

Since he appeared in the show, Norris has achieved internet fame among younger generations. He has also had roles in movies like “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story” (2004) and “The Expendables 2” (2012).

According to the lawsuit, Norris’ internet fame and movie work have ensured that “Walker” remains popular.

It’s not the first time in recent months Norris has been involved in a lawsuit.

As The Western Journal reported in November, the actor said he was pursuing a suit against several health care companies after his wife, Gena Norris, experienced a rapid deterioration in health following an MRI scan injection.

“I’ve given up my film career to concentrate on Gena, my whole life right now is about keeping her alive,” Norris told Good Health.

“I believe this issue is so important,” he added. (For more from the author of “Chuck Norris Files Lawsuit Against Two Huge Media Companies” please click HERE)

Chuck Norris Sues Drug Companies for ‘Poisoning’ Wife

/0 Comments/in , /by

Action star Chuck Norris usually resolves problems with a roundhouse kick, but this time he’s taking a different approach – he’s going to court.

Norris filed suit against 11 drug companies Wednesday in San Francisco for “poisoning” his wife Gena with a dye containing the heavy metal gadolinium used with MRI scans in a procedure that “left her close to death with lifelong pain and weakness.” The dye makes the organs easier to see on the scans, improving diagnosis.

Following three MRI scans in one week five years ago to assess her rheumatoid arthritis, Gena began to feel like she was dying. And her husband could see it, too.

“I just heard that still small voice deep inside of me that said, ‘Gena your body is dying.’ And I walked out of the bathroom and he just took one look at me and he knew; ‘I’m about to lose my wife,’” Gena said in an interview on “Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson.” . . .

He went on, “Well it’s the helpless feeling, you know cause I’m kind of a take charge guy, and then here I have something where I cannot do anything and it was, it was horrifying and, and uh, I just thank, thank God that we were able to weather it and that she did get better and I got my wife back.” (Read more from “Chuck Norris Sues Drug Companies for ‘Poisoning’ Wife” HERE)

Chuck Norris on What Almost Killed His Wife

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In 2013, my wife, Gena, began to suffer from an undefined, escalating and debilitating illness that ultimately landed her in a hospital emergency room and on hold for multiple nights of tests and observation. Doctors checked her for everything from cancer to ALS, Parkinson’s to multiple sclerosis; they were completely baffled . . .

During consultations, it was brought up several times that, before the onset of her condition, Gena had three MRIs in one week to evaluate some discomfort she was experiencing from an arthritic condition. While doctors didn’t see this as a factor, Gena and I began to see a connection.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging – commonly known as an MRI – is a growing and routine medical imaging technique used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes of the body. To generate a better image, a contrast dye is often injected into the area. The chemical agent most commonly used is a heavy metal called gadolinium. One of every three patients undergoing an MRI scan is injected with the contrast agent, gadolinium. Doctors have long insisted that gadolinium is quickly expelled from the body through the kidneys following this procedure. While this is generally true, we are coming to find that this is not the case with all patients.

What current research is revealing is that, for some, gadolinium can accumulate in tissues, including brain, bone and kidneys, creating a debilitating disease. When this happens, patients can become chronically ill, in constant pain, and cannot mentally perform even routine tasks. Some say that they have lost their zest for living; that they feel their lives slipping away. This was Gena.

This revelation about the source of her condition led us to Dr. Bruce Fong at the Sierra Integrative Medical Center in Reno, Nevada, a facility known for its success in combining conventional and alternative therapies in confronting illness. He quickly was able to confirm our theory. Tests revealed that the gadolinium, which was supposed to be gone from her body hours after each MRI, had remained at levels that were literally off the charts. Once Dr. Fong’s initial treatment restored Gena’s health to the point she was able to travel, we returned to Texas and the care of Dr. Alfred Johnson, a doctor of internal medicine with special interest in the area of chronic illness and environmental medicine. Dr. Johnson helped direct a course of treatment that would ultimately lead to her recovery. (Read more from “Chuck Norris on What Almost Killed His Wife” HERE)

Chuck Norris for New FBI Director?

Superstar Chuck Norris wants everyone to know he’s not looking for a job, but …

If President Trump, whom he supported for president in 2016, wants him to replace James Comey as FBI director, he’s ready, willing and available.

While promoting his new bottled water in Utah this weekend, Norris said: “If someone has to clean it up, and it has to be me, I’ll take the job.”

Fans were keen on the idea of Norris taking over the FBI. One said, “We need to get him in to Washington! I think he would clean it up. I think he’s the man for the job.” (Read more from “Chuck Norris for New FBI Director?” HERE)

Update: Chuck Norris Presidential Endorsement? Not so Fast!

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Bob Unruh. A flurry of headlines hit the web early Wednesday giving action movie and television star Chuck Norris’ highly coveted endorsement in the presidential race to Sen. Ted Cruz.

And while Norris may eventually support Cruz, if he is the GOP’s presidential nominee, the reporting appears to have bombed.

In a statement to WND, Norris said, “I would like to clarify for the record that I have NOT officially endorsed any candidate for president, contrary to what has been widely reported in the media.”

He continued, “Each of the remaining Republican candidates have strong points and, as I’ve said in my WND culture warrior column, I believe some have the potential to be great presidents. However, I am going to let the citizens of America decide who they think would be the best candidate for the GOP. When the candidate is decided, I will support that person enthusiastically.”

The erroneous media reports of a purported Norris endorsement were circulated by outlets such as the Dallas Morning News and the Daytona Beach News Journal, which said, quoting the Washington Post’s Emily Heil, “Ding, ding, ding! It seems we have a winner – the coveted Chuck Norris endorsement goes to Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.” (Read more from “Update: Chuck Norris Presidential Endorsement? Not so Fast!” HERE)

Chuck Norris Is About to Hit the Campaign Trail for This Candidate – It Might Surprise You

By Kevin Whitson. Seventy five year old martial artist, actor, and born-again Christian, Chuck Norris is set to hit the campaign trail in North Carolina next week for Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz. Norris will reportedly join talk-show host and commentator Glenn Beck, as well as retired Army Lt. General Jerry Boykin.

The trio will campaign for Cruz in Concord, NC in what rally organizers are calling, “An American Rally with Ted Cruz.” The event will be held at the zMax Dragway on the grounds of the Charlotte Motor Speedway, Sunday March 13 at 2:00pm.

According to the Daily Caller, Norris’ first choice for President back in May of 2015 was Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR), but that was before Huckabee decided to call it quits in his bid to become the Republican presidential nominee. Huckabee officially dropped out of the race in February of 2016.

Chuck Norris. Once you conjure up an image of the man, you can’t help but think of boards being chopped and bad guys getting their just desserts.

However, in recent years, the karate-kicking, facial-hair-having star of movies, TV shows and Internet memes has become quite an advocate for conservative political causes.

Well, now he’s throwing his ten-gallon hat in the political ring, endorsing a surprising candidate for re-election.

Why is it surprising? Because this particular politician doesn’t serve on American soil.

Norris has come out in support of Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu, who is currently running for re-election as Prime Minister of Israel. (Read more from “You’ll Never Guess What Politician Chuck Norris Just Endorsed [+video]” HERE)
