Sheriffs Support Restaurant That Banned NFL Until The National Anthem Protest Ends

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 proud parents of an active-duty member of the U.S. Army and a veteran of Afghanistan, we stand on the side of our brave men and women in uniform, not the men in sports costumes that take a knee and disrespect our country, our national anthem, our military and our veterans,” they said, referencing their daughter’s military service.

“We place a much higher value on our great country than any sporting event. Therefore, we will not be showing any NFL games at Fat Tuesday’s until there is a stop to this foolishness,” they wrote.

“On our end we’re probably foolish to do this, but we are gonna lose business over this, but on the other hand enough is enough,” Butler stated.

Butler never mixed politics with his restaurant business in the last 35 years, but this was too much even for him.

“How can people dishonor our flag or our country or our national anthem?” he said.

Butler knew he would get a lot of criticism for his decision.

WJLA reported that one customer said he would never step a foot in the restaurant until they started showing the game, claiming the owner failed to realize that the NFL players are making a statement for racial inequality and social injustice.

Barbara B. Sockwell, one Facebook user, called for a boycott as a response to the owner’s decision.

“I’m going to need Virginians to boycott Fat Tuesdays in Fairfax. Apparently they do not understand that black lives matter and that this stance against the national anthem has nothing to do with the flag, vets, first responders, etc. So they’re refusing to air NFL games. I say boycott all Fat Tuesdays. They weren’t getting any of my money anyway. I guess the NFL is supposed to demand the players to stand. As if they are slaves. They have a right to protest. It’s time we’re exercising our freedom of speech,” she wrote.

The National Sheriffs’ Association sent the restaurant $1,000 to cover the expenses of the free meals as a response to the boycott.

Rosie O’Donnell Calls for Trump Assassination… REGRETS IT IMMEDIATELY!

Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump have been engaged in a bitter feud for over a decade. Rosie’s hatred for Trump has only escalated since he became president, but this week, she took things way too far when she called for him to be assassinated. It didn’t take long for Rosie to learn that she’d made a huge mistake… Mad World News reported that Rosie took to Twitter on Saturday to endorse a ridiculous new game called Push Trump Off A Cliff Again. The despicable game allows players to kill Trump by pushing him off a cliff. Push Trump Off A Cliff Again https://t.co/YguB3aG8EP — ROSIE (@Rosie) July 15, 2017 The virtual game instructs players to “Take out your frustrations with [the] President by pushing him off a virtual cliff, or into a virtual volcano.” An image of Trump screams things like “Bye!” and “I’m really rich!” as he tumbles to his death. Twitter users immediately fired back at Rosie and let her know that simulating the assassination of the president is never okay. Bett

WALSH: Yes, Ilhan Omar’s Alleged Adultery Matters. Here’s Why.

According to court documents, Rep. Ilhan Omar allegedly had an affair with a married DC consultant. The wife of Omar’s alleged lover made the claims in divorce filings, insisting that her marriage was ultimately destroyed by the tryst between the congresswoman and her husband. Previous reports claimed that Omar “dumped” her own husband earlier in the summer. Conventional modern wisdom would tell us that the only newsworthy and relevant aspect of this salacious story is the possible abuse of campaign funds, as reported by the Washington Examiner: Omar’s alleged paramour, Tim Mynett, has been a fundraising consultant for Omar’s 2018 and 2020 campaigns… …Of the $145,406 reported earnings by the E Street Group during the 2018 campaign cycle, $62,674 came from Omar’s campaign. Not counting payroll taxes and transfers to Minnesota’s Democratic Party, E Street Group was Omar’s second-largest vendor, according to FEC data. From Labor Day through the end of the year, E Street Group ate up mo

Newly Declassified FBI Materials Show Bureau Treated Clinton, Trump Campaigns Differently On Foreign Interference

FBI documents and communications that were recently declassified show the bureau treated foreign interference on Hillary Clinton’s campaign differently than it did with President Donald Trump’s campaign. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) released the documents on Sunday with a lengthy statement about the contents: There was a clear double standard by the Department of Justice and FBI when it came to the Trump and Clinton campaigns in 2016. These newly released documents indicate that a foreign government was trying to influence the Clinton campaign through a campaign associate and the FBI was seeking a FISA warrant. However, the Bureau, as it is supposed to do, required that Hillary Clinton be defensively briefed about the matter so she could engage in corrective action. When it came to the Trump campaign, there were four counterintelligence investigations opened against Trump campaign associates. Not one time was President Trump defensively briefed about th
