You can see politics being played in front of your eyes just by looking at the different reactions that Puerto Rico’s governor and mayor of the capital city are having to the crisis on the island. Contrary to the media narrative, the U.S. territory’s governor has been extremely grateful for the Trump administration’s response. On PBS last week he said “First of all, we are very grateful for the administration. They have responded quickly. The president has been very attentive to the situation, personally calling me several times. FEMA and the FEMA director have been here in Puerto Rico twice. As a matter of fact, they were here with us today, making sure that all the resources in FEMA were working in conjunction with the central government. We have been working together. We have been getting results. The magnitude of this catastrophe is enormous. This is going to take a lot of help, a lot of collaboration. So, my call is to congressmen and congresswomen to take action quickly and co

Following a record number of national anthem protests before NFL games last weekend, two football players at Victory & Praise Christian Academy decided to follow the example and protest the anthem. Cedric Ingram-Lewis raised his fist in the air and his cousin, Larry McCullough, knelt. But their Marine veteran coach wanted absolutely nothing to do with it. The Houston Chronicle reports: After the anthem ended, head coach Ronnie Mitchem instructed them to take off their uniforms and kicked them off the team. Mitchem is a former Marine and pastor who started the church-based football program in Crosby six years ago. Ingram-Lewis, a sophomore, said the topic of protesting had come up in the locker room before and his cousin McCullough, a senior, even announced he would kneel via social media. The coach had told players he did not want anyone to kneel, citing his service in the military. Cedric Ingram-Lewis & Larry McCullough were kicked off of their football team last night. C

Puerto Rico is facing a major humanitarian crisis following the devastation Hurricane Maria left in its wake. With recovery efforts underway, according to USA Today, just 5 percent of the nation’s electrical grid currently works. Due to the pressing issue, President Donald Trump is facing a lot of criticism. Hollywood is where the outrage is the loudest, though. Lady Gaga went after Trump on Saturday on Twitter. Gaga claimed Trump doesn’t want to help Puerto Rico because it can’t vote in the next election. She tweeted: Oh I see @realDonaldTrump you're not helping PR because of the electoral votes u need to be re-elected #Florida =29 #Texas =38 #PuertoRico =0 — xoxo, Gaga (@ladygaga) September 30, 2017 I this it's clear where the 'poor leadership' lies @realDonaldTrump Puerto Rico is part of the United States. This is our responsibility. — xoxo, Gaga (@ladygaga) September 30, 2017 But Gaga wasn’t ready for the backfire: @POTUS has sent 2 PR 140 helos/

In Sean Hannity’s first week battling Rachel Maddow in the 9 p.m. time slot, Fox News’ Hannity beat MSNBC’s Maddow in both overall viewers and in the key 25-54 age demographic. On Tuesday, MSNBC announced “The Rachel Maddow Show” had finished the preceding quarter as the top cable news program overall and in the 25-54 demographic, Politico reported. Fox’s decision to move Hannity up an hour from 10 p.m. is part of an effort to counter MSNBC’s ratings surge since the election of President Donald Trump. During the first week of the face off, the Fox News host averaged 3,498,000 viewers from Monday through Thursday, while Maddow averaged 2,649,000. In the key segment, Hannity beat Maddow 713,000 viewers to 599,000. Hannity benefitted from the special election primary in Alabama and top guests, which included Steve Bannon, Bill O’Reilly, and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R., Wis.). Although Fox News can temporarily be proclaimed the “champion” of the 9 p.m. time, a senior media analyst wh

Judge Jeanine Pirro is known for her sharp wit, which is readily on display — whether she is on her own show, or appearing elsewhere. She recently made a stand against Michelle Obama after the former first lady insulted female Trump voters around the country. Michelle said that women who voted for Trump over Hillary were voting against their “own voice” for not supporting a female candidate. The judge reasons that Michelle didn’t put too much thought into her statement. Back in 2008, Michelle voted for her husband, Barack Obama, instead of Hillary Clinton, for the Democrat primary. In that sense, this makes Michelle a hypocrite who is not shy about exposing her political agenda. Michelle has been adamantly opposing the president, and acting as if she were still the first lady. She is making public appearances and lambasting the nation for electing Donald Trump. “What does it mean for us as women that we look at those two candidates, as women, and many of us said, ‘That guy, he’s bet

The Chicago Bears hoped they will start the Thursday night game with linking arms with the Green Bay Packers. But sadly, for them, when the game started it was just a comedy show, the Twitter users immediately started to make fun of the situation. John S. Roberts, wrote saying he considered the locked-arms gesture an “F U Lite” to America — if you will.” But Butterfinger’s tweet captured the situation in the best way. The social media fun started when a snap bounced off the knee of quarterback Mike Glennon. Green Bay, that hit hard its rival 35-14, recovered the ball. Butter…knees? #CHIvsGB — Butterfinger (@Butterfinger) September 29, 2017 “Butter…knees?” wrote on Twitter the candy bar company. Other in the Bears social media didn’t find that so funny. https://twitter.com/ChicagoBears/status/91358379910308249 “Stick to candy,” the Bears tweeted back. The hapless Bears, though, were target for a comeback that was not long in arriving. Stick to football. Oh…wait. — Butte

The owners of one restaurant chose principles before profits by decided to stop showing the NFL games until the whole anthem protests scandal is over. Even though this decision has caused the restaurant to loss of some customers and receive a negative criticism on social media, the National Sheriffs’ Association decided to support the owners of the Fat Tuesday’s in Fairfax, Virginia. “National Sheriffs’ Association is going to pay the check of any #lawenforcementofficer’s meal at Fat Tuesday’s,” it tweeted. Karen Butler and R.L., the owners, said that after watching the protests develop over the weekend, they thought enough was enough.

As the National Football League’s brand and reputation continues to plummet over the anthem protests with no foreseeable end in sight, the players who have ignited this incendiary attack on our flag over perceived racial injustice and police brutality continue to peddle falsehoods about their plight. It is ironic that the very players who have knelt in disrespect of our nation showed little initiative following Colin Kaepernick’s initial public display against the anthem last year. Their response was lackluster and non-existent. If these players really cared about the communities they claimed are violated, you would have seen an unprecedented response in the form of donations and speeches. It didn’t happen. The most recent absurdity to come from followers of the “kneel” movement came from Seattle Seahawks star, Michael Bennett, who claimed that he was brutalized by police following the Mayweather-McGregor boxing match in Las Vegas. From Biz Pac Review: The player was high critical

Christian McCaffrey, Carolina Panthers rookie, as a response to the national anthem protests and negativity surrounding them, and sent a positive message to make the conflict a little bit more peaceful. “I think the biggest thing for me, if I can spread a message to people, it’s just that there’s a lot of hate going on in the world today,” McCaffrey stated Wednesday. “I think it’s really important that everybody takes a step back, looks themselves in the mirror and when they wake up, just try to be the best person they can be,” he continued. “Treat people with respect, put a smile on somebody else’s face and if you don’t have to, don’t spread any negativity because it’s not good for anybody.” He offered to the world one book that can certainly make a change. “I’ve got microphones in front of me and I would be remiss if I didn’t try to preach that. I’m a religious person and I think the Bible’s a great place to start — spreading positivity, being selfless, being giving, being kind.

One elementary school from Cambridgeport, Massachusetts refused to accept the Dr. Seuss books, which Melania Trump sent as a gift to the students from the White House. The books were officially rejected and sent back by the librarian on a pompous way in order to embarrass the First Lady. The librarian, Liz Phipps Soeiro, sent a letter full of hatred, but soon after that, her dark secret was revealed. Liz Phipps Soeiro has never met the First Lady Melania Trump, but obviously, that doesn’t stop her to be mean and hate her. When the books came at the school, sent directly from Melania Trump, the librarian decided to show that she is real Trump hater. She could be grateful and accept the gift. But instead, she wanted to expose her “superior education.” “Getting an education is perhaps the most important and wondrous opportunity of your young lives,” Trump wrote in a letter sent to the kids who will receive the books. As CBS News reported, the librarian answered with a letter too, in whi

Herschel Walker, an NFL legend who formerly played for Minnesota Vikings and Dallas Cowboys, believes that the situation with kneeling and disrespect of the national anthem has gone too far. Walker in a viral video, as TMZ reported, supported President Trump and attacked all the NFL players who disrespect the national anthem and flag, but also Roger Goodell, the NFL Commissioner, who kept quiet about the protests. “I think it means making a league-wide rule that if you want to protest, protest off the job,” Walker stated. “Where was everyone before the season started? I didn’t see anyone protesting in front of the White House, protesting in front of Congress or protesting in front of police officers. Why did we wait until football season to start this again? If you’re behind it, you have to be behind it all the way.” “If you want to protest, protest off the job,” he said. Walker admitted that he believes that America has a problem with racism, but protest the national anthem doesn’

Melania Trump has responded to the absurd actions from a Massachusetts elementary school librarian who rejected her gift of Dr. Seuss books claiming they are “steeped in racist propaganda.” The first lady donated a collection of 10 Dr. Seuss books to one school in all 50 states to celebrate “National Read a Book Day,” but one of those generous gifts was rejected, Fox News reports. Liz Phipps Soeiro, a librarian at a public school in Cambridge, rejected Trump’s gift and sent her a letter explaining that “Dr. Seuss’s illustrations are steeped in racist propaganda, caricatures, and harmful stereotypes.” The first lady’s director of communications Stephanie Grisham issued a statement on Friday on behalf of Mrs. Trump that Soeiro’s response was “unfortunate” and that the gesture was meant “to help as many children as she can.” “She has demonstrated this in both actions and words since her husband took office, and sending books to children across the country is but one example,” Grisham

Two men after few months succeeded to get into the inside circle of the Antifa movement and become a part of it, aiming to gain the trust of the leaders and reveal who they really are. They wanted to know and show who is standing behind all the violence. They used hidden cameras and burner phones to uncover them, but as soon as they succeeded to get in, they were shocked by what they discovered. Luckily, they managed to stay alive as the leaders of Antifa movement had a brutal surprise for them. Steven Crowder, a commentator with conservative views, showed a video which exposes how violent Antifa leaders really are. The reporters went undercover, become a part of the “anti-fascist” group and caught a discussion between the members of the movement about their violence and weapons they are planning to carry. They taped it all on video. The Antifa violent leaders are terrified of the possibility of exposing their identity. The reporters had to pass a variety of tests and checks before t

When all the 5th-grade students dishonored the pledge of allegiance, one 10-year-old student decided to refuse to kneel for the American flag, but instead, he stood up and saluted by himself. Anyhow, the one liberal teacher saw the situation and did something outrageous. In the past year, we witnessed many multimillion players, anti-Americans and politicians who disrespect the American national anthem and the American Flag. Young people and students are watching their idols and heroes complaining about inequality concerning their rights, that in fact doesn’t exist. As the left is trying to underestimate the actual protests around the world, the liberals are making efforts to brought the indoctrination into the education. But, obviously, the propaganda doesn’t work on all young persons. It was regular Tuesday morning when the students from Orrs Elementary School listened to the Pledge of Allegiance. But as it was shown this morning wasn’t regular as the Atlanta primary school student

The public, fans and all-American patriots continuously oppose the national anthem protests in the dawn of NFL games and that tension is felt wide, among the audience but between the athletes too. Ray Lewis, the retired Baltimore Ravens star, is just one example of it. Lewis had a successful career, he earned Super Bowl MVP, made the Pro Bowl in 13 of 17 seasons and was honored with a statue placed outside the Ravens’ M&T Bank Stadium. Lewis decided to protest the national anthem on Saturday and knelt during its singing at the game between Baltimore and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now he is facing a petition for removal of his statue which is signed by 50,000 people. The number of signatures increased by Friday counting over 69,000 signatures. The fans’ passion is taken seriously by the officials, but that’s not the case with NFL’s players. “There is additional security at the statue plaza at this time,” stated Rachelina Bonacci, the Maryland Stadium Authority’s spokeswoman. “

Ronald Reagan continues to be a beloved icon of conservatism even 13 years after his death. What endeared the 40th President to so many is that he was unequivocally, unapologetically pro-American. He loved his country and believed it was something worth fighting for. A recording of Reagan’s First Inaugural Address is making rounds on the internet as the public debates the issue of national anthem-protesting NFL players. As seen on YouTube, Reagan’s powerful speech declared that the US is exceptional and unique, something to be proud of. He went on to describe the enormous sacrifices so many Americans have made for this nation–including their very lives. Reagan assumed the presidency at a time of uncertainty and fear, much like today. His predecessor, Jimmy Carter, was often criticized for his tepid handling of international affairs, particularly his response to the Iran hostage crisis. Carter was also President during a time of high inflation, high interest rates, oil shortages, an

The Benghazi terrorist attack that resulted in the deaths of Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Tyrone Woods and Sean Smith was the result of negligence. As details of this story from 2012 continue to emerge, the parents of Woods and Smith have a request. These parents want to see Hillary Clinton brought to justice over the deaths of their sons, insisting that she should stand trial. The attack was carried out by a group of  Muslim terrorists. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama seemingly knew that the attack was coming, but did nothing to stop it. In fact, they went on to tell the parents that the death of their children was due to an obscure YouTube video, not negligence. A case was brought on by Larry Klayman from Freedom Watch on behalf of the parents, Patricia Smith and Charles Woods. The basis of the case was that Clinton not only lied about the attack but went on to defame the families of the victims by accusing them of lying. The charges included “defamation, false light, and int

A sports legend and lifelong Democrat has a message for the anthem protesters of today, and it’s nothing that they anticipated it would be. Former basketball player and current NBA analyst, Charles Barkley, said on a radio show that he would stand for the national anthem. He even admitted that Democrats do nothing for black people, and the players should do something that’s actually productive instead of protesting the anthem and flag. On Monday, Barkley appeared on The Dan Patrick Show” where he spoke on the current state of affairs relating to the NFL anthem protests. His comments, however, were nothing that anyone anticipated they would be. “I would stand for the national anthem personally,” he said, putting the rest of his athletic colleagues in the NFL to shame. He also spoke on politics as well as the truth behind the Democrat Party and their strategic use of minorities. “You know, Dan, you said something earlier and it always annoys me when people say it – you know I’ve neve

For some NFL players, taking a knee simply isn’t enough. They need to take their antics to the next level so they can make it to the headlines and show the progressive crowd just how down they are with the social justice crap. This was exactly the case with New York Giants Odell Beckham Jr. After a touchdown, Beckham celebrated by getting on all fours and raising one leg to simulate a dog taking a piss on a fire hydrant. He said afterward that the vulgar gesture was in response to President Trump’s remarks where he referred to players kneeling during the anthem as “sons of a b**ch.” In his own words: “I was in the end zone. I scored a touchdown. I’m a dog so I acted like a dog.” The gesture did not sit well with Giants owner John Mara, who indicated that the issue will be dealt with internally. Taking a knee is one thing, but some players are taking the offense a couple notches further. It was reported that several black players are engaging in a sick trend on the field where the

A Cambridge, Massachusetts librarian rejected a shipment of books from First Lady Melania Trump for the school library. The librarian Liz Phipps Soeiro said the Dr. Seuss books the First Lady was donating were racist. She is an Obama supporter — as you can see from her library propaganda. A librarian at the Cambridgeport Elementary School in Massachusetts is declining a shipment of books from first lady Melania Trump. One school from each state was chosen by the White House to receive 10 Dr. Seuss books as part of National Read a Book Day, CBS Boston reports. “Getting an education is perhaps the most important and wondrous opportunity of your young lives,” Trump said in a letter to the children who will be receiving books. The school’s librarian, Liz Phipps Soeiro, wrote a lengthy editorial for the Horn Book’s Family Reading blog explaining why her school does not need the books. Liz Phipps Soeiro wrote an editorial in the local paper calling Dr. Seuss a racist. Yearly per-pupi

The latest round of kneeling protests in the NFL has caused many fans to turn off their television sets in disgust — as witnessed by lower ticket sales and television viewership, as well as the planned “shut-off” this Sunday in which some fans are turning off their TVs to register their disgust. Of course, this is really bad news for the NFL, as the fewer viewers and fans tune in and turn out, the less money is made from advertising revenue and ticket sales. This means less capital will be available to build teams and make repairs and improvements to local stadiums. But it’s not just fans who are reconsidering their investment in the sport. Apparently, investors are having second thoughts as well — including JP Morgan Chase: JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s Shawn Quigg is now encouraging investors to stay away from investing in CBS stock ahead of the NFL’s Week 4 broadcasts, according to Bloomberg. “The bank recommends buying an option that gives you the right to sell the shares at $57.5

The NFL’s favorability ratings have been cut nearly in half since over 200 players knelt for the national anthem, according to the Daily Caller. The survey was conducted by Morning Consult. Check it out: NFL’s Brand Favorability Drops To Lowest Point Since Morning Consult Started Tracking: The NFL’s net favorability has dropped from 30% on September 21 to 17% on September 28. On September 21, 25% of Trump supporters said they had a very favorable view of the NFL and 11% had a very unfavorable view. As of Sept 28, those numbers have dramatically changed with 33% of Trump supporters say they have a very unfavorable view of the NFL and 16% report having a very favorable view. The organization is reportedly now in full-blown crisis mode. The longer these protests go on the worse things are going get for the NFL, unless something changes. It’s also proof that Trump supporters are more likely to side with the president than the NFL, given the massive protests came after comments he ma

Oprah Winfrey might just run for president in 2020. The media mogul said in June that she “will never run for public office,” but she promoted an article Thursday saying she is the Democratic Party’s best hope for the 2020 election. “Thanks for your VOTE of confidence!” Oprah tweeted at conservative writer John Podhoretz with a link to his New York Post article: “Democrats’ best hope for 2020: Oprah.” The piece argued that Winfrey, 63, is effectively the perfect foil to President Donald Trump. “She is the mirror image of Trump, but more so. Of course, she’s female and he’s male; she’s America’s generous aunt and he’s America’s crazy uncle. And yes, she’s black and he’s white, she’s liberal and he’s whatever he is,” Podhoretz wrote. “It goes beyond that. He’s rich and she’s rich, but she made her $3 billion herself and with no controversy. She is, in herself, the embodiment of the American Dream. He got famous from TV, and so did she, but she became vastly more famous and vastly m

First lady Melania Trump released a statement through her communications director in response to a grade school librarian who spurned her gift of free books for the school children. Why did the librarian turn down the gift? In a long screed published earlier this week, elementary school librarian Liz Phipps Soeiro sneered at the gift from the first lady, offering a few reasons in explanation. She called the Dr. Seuss books “cliched” and used the occasion to criticize Education Secretary Betsy DeVos. She continued on to deride the first lady for sending books some consider racist and enforcing “systemic racism and oppression.” How did the first lady respond? “Mrs. Trump intends to use her platform as First Lady to help as many children as she can. She has demonstrated this in both actions and words since her husband took office, and sending books to schools across the country is but one example,” read the statement from the first lady’s communications director. “Turning the gestur

Colin Kaepernick donated $25,000 to a foundation honoring a convicted cop killer. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback donated the money to the foundation Assata’s Daughter’s, according to The Daily Mail. They reported in part: Colin Kaepernick’s $25,000 donation to a charitable group honoring a convicted cop killer has been revealed. Kaepernick’s foundation made the donation to Chicago-based Assata’s Daughter’s, named after former Black Liberation Army member Assata Shakur, in April as part of a $1million charitable pledge. Shakur was convicted of first-degree murder in the 1973 shooting death of New Jersey state trooper Werner Foerster and sentenced to life in prison, but staged a daring jailbreak and now lives as a fugitive in Cuba. There is next to no chance an NFL team will ever sign Kaepernick after this revelation. He was already radioactive among the fanbase because of his national anthem protests, and donating to the foundation that honors a convicted cop killer is n

Hurricane season has been incredibly rough for Puerto Rico this year. First, the island bore the brunt of Hurricane Irma. But the worst was Hurricane Maria, which knocked out electricity across the island. The disaster in Puerto Rico is horrible for the people. In fact, it’s so bad officials there have described conditions as “apocalyptic,” according to CNN. With the situation so dire, former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton decided to politicize it. What did she do? Clinton fired off the following tweet to President Donald Trump: President Trump, Sec. Mattis, and DOD should send the Navy, including the USNS Comfort, to Puerto Rico now. These are American citizens. https://t.co/J2FVg4II0n — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 24, 2017 Benghazi survivor and former Army Ranger Kris Paronto saw Clinton’s tweet, and he fired back on her asking to “send help.” Paronto tweeted: Wish u had that sense of urgency while u were watching the ISR feed during ou

Despite the liberal narrative that those NFL players taking a knee are showing their love for America in their own unique way (a claim actually made by CNN’s Don Lemon with a straight face), most Americans are smart enough to know the reality of the situation. When Colin Kaepernick began taking a knee last year, he made it explicitly clear it was out of disrespect for America: “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” he said. If expressing complete disdain for one’s nation is Don Lemon’s idea of showing your love for it, I guess he might have a point. In other words, up is down and left is right. From Kaepernick’s protest to entire teams taking the knee, polls consistently show that the majority of NFL fans and Americans didn’t approve of them. As those players exercise their free speech, NFL fans are doing the same in their own way, and voting with their dollars. According to the Washington Examiner, The N

The national anthem protests rose numerous reactions, among which the audience can witness hypocrisy of the NFL and its supporters among mainstream media regarding this issue. The executive director of the NFL Players Association, DeMaurice Smith, this weekend obviously made dumb remarks, made this remarkably clear: “No man or woman should ever have to choose a job that forces them to surrender their rights,” he stated Saturday, just one day after President Trump made the vulgar statement that the team owners should fire all the players who disrespect the national anthem and protest. “We understand that our job as a union is not to win a popularity contest and it comes with a duty to protect the rights of our members,” Smith continued. “For that, we make no apologies and never will.” Entire left including politicians, media, and Hollywood agreed with Smith, and supported the NFL concerning this issue, attacking President Trump for allegedly trying to violate NFL players’ rights. M

A liberal student at the University of California, Riverside, just had an outburst after seeing another student wearing a Make America Great Again hat. She stole the red hat but sadly for her things didn’t go as she planned. A clip appeared on the media posted by Campus Reform, on the video you can see a Hispanic girl walking on the sidewalk, and the man filming the video, Matthew, demanding his hat to be returned. Apparently, this woman was just another Social Justice Warrior filled with hatred. This spoiled woman thought that he was being smart by attacking a Trump supporter for his views, so she stole his hat thinking she will put an end to the social injustice. So, she grabbed Matthew’s hat and walked towards the office of student life at UC Riverside, but things didn’t go as she planned. The people witnessing the scandal explained to the administrator that they were calming her down hoping that she will understand she is wrong. Sadly, they didn’t succeed and the situation only
