I honestly thought that regardless of anything else, an elected official would always respect the flag and the Pledge of Allegiance. I was wrong.

Missouri State Senator Jamilah Nasheed has gone radical on the people of this country and has officially boycotted the Pledge during sessions.
An athlete protesting the National Anthem is bad enough, but when an elected official refuses to acknowledge the Pledge of Allegiance, that is basically treason in my eyes.

She claims she is showing patriotism but if she does not respect the Pledge, then where does her allegiance actually lie?
She does not represent just one faction of her state, but all voters in the state, both left and right.

However, based on her history, I would say her interests lie only in actions that support Black Lives Matter.

Remember the Ferguson riots?

Well, guess who got arrested for kneeling in the streets and refusing to move…

This woman is a complete disgrace and obviously does not support America.

She is yet another of Obama’s thug politicians trying to transform America into a socialist society completely dependent upon the government.

Terminally ill British infant, Charlie Gard, has captured hearts across the world after a European court ruled the baby should be taken off life support against the wishes of his parents.

On Monday, President Donald Trump even offered to help little Charlie in any way that he can after it was revealed the parents want to travel to the U.S. for an experimental procedure to treat their son’s rare genetic disorder, known as mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome.

“If we can help little #CharlieGard, as per our friends in the U.K. and the Pope, we would be delighted to do so,” Trump tweeted.
Charlie’s mother, Connie Yates, responded to Trump’s offer on her Facebook page on Tuesday.

“If he’s still fighting, we’re still fighting!!!” the mother wrote in a post that also included Trump’s tweet.

Chris Gard, Charlie’s father, and Yates are pleading with Prime Minister Theresa May to take action following the court’s ruling so they can at least have a chance to save their son.

The parents also had nice things to say about Trump, according to a family spokesperson. The Daily Mail reported:

In a statement their spokesman said: ‘Chris and Connie are overwhelmed with emotion that President Trump and the Pope have spoken publicly of their support.

President Trump vowed to support and defend religious liberty, telling a gathering of evangelical Christians that the threat of terrorism is “one of the most grave and dire threats to religious freedom in the world today.”

“We cannot allow this terrorism and extremism to spread in our country, or to find sanctuary on our shores or in our cities,” Mr. Trump said Saturday night at a “Celebrate Freedom” concert honoring veterans. “We want to make sure that anyone who seeks to join our country shares our values and has the capacity to love our people.”

The evangelical megachurch First Baptist Dallas and Salem Media Group sponsored the event at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. First Baptist Pastor Robert Jeffress was a strong backer of Mr. Trump during the 2016 campaign.

The event at times felt like one of Mr. Trump’s signature campaign rallies, with the president promising an adoring crowd that America would “win again” and prompting cheers with attacks on the news media.

“The fake media tried to stop us from going to the White House, but I’m president and they’re not,” he said.

Mr. Trump also said “we’re going to start saying Merry Christmas again.”

Mr. Trump appeared on a stage decorated with a massive American flag. Choirs performed “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” and other hymns and debuted a song with the lyrics “make America great again” – Mr. Trump’s campaign slogan.

Besides speaking to the event’s religious theme, Mr. Trump renewed his campaign promise to always take care of America’s veterans.

“Not only has God bestowed on us the gift of freedom, he’s also given us the gift of heroes willing to give their lives to defend that freedom,” he said.

Overwhelming support from evangelical voters helped propel Trump to victory in 2016. Since he took office, Christian conservatives have been overjoyed by Trump’s appointment of Justice Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court and his executive order ordering the IRS to ease up on a rarely enforced limit on partisan political activity by churches.

Mr. Trump was spending the pre-Independence Day weekend at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, but traveled back to Washington for the event. An Instagram user posted a picture with Mr. Trump at the golf club on Saturday afternoon.

Our first lady, Melania Trump is sadly not exempt from the hatred and vitriol the left showers on her husband.

Mrs. Trump has been attacked for being too beautiful, too cold, too exotic and too quiet. She’s been attacked for making her son Barron the number one priority in her life. She’s been ripped to shreds over her modeling career and her marriage.

She’s been ridiculed for taking up the cause of “cyber bullying” when her husband is perhaps the world’s most notable user of Twitter, if not for bullying than certainly for “needling.”

Nonetheless she comports herself in public unfailingly with grace and composure.
Today she posted a message of Independence Day with which no one can possibly disagree.
“We are the land of the free because of the brave. Thank you to the heroes who serve!”

Degenerate liberals don’t want anyone to be allowed to express patriotism near them. This restaurant must be run by some of their snowflakes.

In Kentwood, Michigan, a Dave and Buster’s told American Legion officers they had to take off their jackets because of “gang affiliation.” The jacket had an American flag, the prisoner of war flag, and a bald eagle on it. (via Military.com) The only “gang” these gentlemen belonged to was the “veteran” gang.

Victor Murdock and Adrienne Brown, who are both American Legion Riders Post 179 had stopped at the restaurant to get some food. Instead of a meal, they were reprimanded for their show of patriotism.

A spokeswoman for the company, April Spearman, stated that the no-gang symbol policy is in place “to ensure that everyone is able to enjoy themselves in a fun and safe environment.”

The spokesperson argued that the company knows the American Legion has a positive message and mission, but they couldn’t allow the individuals to wear their jackets, just to maintain consistency.

It’s understandable that the restaurant, which largely caters to families and children, wouldn’t want any gang affiliation on the premises. But the American Legion, with American flags and bald eagles, is not a gang! If it is, We the People are officially gang members.
The restaurant tried to backpedal and apologize for the frustration for the incident, but they should have apologized for their stupidity instead!

I think the real reason why they wanted them to remove those jackets is because some liberal was offended and complained to the management. Simply put, the bald eagle and the American flag are now reason enough for leftists to throw a fit — overly sensitive morons.

It’s ridiculous, frankly, that our veterans had to deal with this. They only wanted to show their American and military pride, a pride we should all share. Telling them that they can’t show that pride is like shoving their sacrifice back in their face.

These men were clearly veterans and were looking for nothing more than a warm meal so they could get on their way… and they were embarrassed for being proud of their service to our country.

A federal grand jury has indicted 35 convenience store owners from the St. Louis area after discovering a sick scheme they were running.

Mainstream media reports refused to make the Muslim connection, but when they released the list of defendants, the truth was obvious.

Nearly every name on the list was a Muslim of Middle Eastern background.

In other words, nearly all were immigrants or refugees.

Now, where would people like that get the money to even open a convenience store? I know lots of out-of-work Americans who’d love that kind of opportunity.

Turns out, the federal government, under policies Obama put in place, is just handing out tens of thousands of dollars to immigrants, and then NOT holding the recipients accountable for what they do with it.
100 Percent Fed Up comments:

Think about it…A family (see list below) our government imported gets together with others and buys a store with American taxpayer money….Why can’t our government give loans like this to Americans? They don’t even track the money…they’re just giving out our money without any record of how it’s used. Unreal!

What these particular Muslim families were doing was buying and distributing contraband cigarettes and drugs.

They were also using the network of convenience stores to launder money.

Folks, this is what a lot of people from more unsavory places around the world think of when they imagine America as the “land of opportunity.”

When Kathy Griffin posed for a photoshoot holding a fake decapitated, bloody head of President Donald Trump in June, she likely didn’t think about the wide-reaching implications of her so-called “joke.”

While her controversial stunt resulted in some serious professional consequences, it also earned her a lengthy visit from the U.S. Secret Service.

Secret Service agents reportedly tracked down Griffin and interviewed her in person for more than an hour. Further, the investigation into the bloody head debacle remains open.
Griffin’s attorney, Dmitry Gorin, has claimed the comedian was merely exercising her “First Amendment rights to tell a joke.”

Ever since Donald Trump was elected as president the left has been in constant attack mode. Not only have they attacked President Trump for all his policies and ideas, but they have also attacked Melania and their son Barron. These hypocritical libtards have attacked Melania for being too beautiful, too exotic, and too devoted to her son. You would think that the left would applaud Melania for being a strong woman, but because of the left’s hatred for Trump, they cannot help themselves.

It seems like every day Melania Trump is being bullied online and it has now gotten to the point of harassment. However, if this bullying was to be grating on the First Lady’s nerves we would not know it at all. Melania has taken every attack with such grace, composure, and poise that the lunatic left does not know what to say.

As you know today is the Fourth of July, and the left is out in full force to make this day miserable. However, while the left is looking to cause issues Melania Trump is seeking to unify our country.

Today Melania Trump posted a tweet that no one can argue with.

“We are the land of the free because of the brave. Thank you to the heroes who serve!”

Here is the tweet.
According to The American Bacon:

The 47-year-old First Lady Melania Trump delivered a message of support to members of the U.S. military on Twitter on a Fourth of July.

“We are the land of the free because of the brave,” Trump wrote on Twitter on Tuesday. “Thank you to the heroes who serve!”

The president and first lady Melania Trump will foremost attend a picnic with military families on the South Lawn afore watching a fireworks from the Truman Balcony on Tuesday, as reported by the White House.

Even though Donald Trump and his family were in Bedminster, N.J. during the weekend, where Trump has a property, they were set to get back to Washington on Monday evening prior to the holiday. Trump will leave for his second foreign trip on Wednesday.

The Independence Day picnic at the White House is an old tradition lasting from at least the Carter administration, even though not every president has taken part in it every year.

President Donald Trump and his wife will be present at the White House during the holiday with military families, which is a tradition that former presidents have practiced for tens of years.

Our favorite sniveling America hater Colin Kaepernick’ is back in the news again. You remember Kaepernick, right? The privileged football player who decided to kneel down during the National Anthem to make a point. No one is too sure what that point was, but Kaepernick said it was to draw attention to the mistreatment of black people. Well, soon after his misguided political stunt, the mediocre quarterback for the San Francisco 49’ers was not extended another contract.

At first, Kaepernick remained hopeful that he would be signed soon, but days turned into weeks and weeks have turned into months. So months after being unemployed there is an update of his status and it will be a huge shock.

Kaepernick still remains gainfully unemployed.
According to Hot Air:

Despite his long-running battle with the league over his demonstrations of protest before kickoff time, refusing to stand respectfully for the National Anthem, it had been widely assumed that he might land a job somewhere. So what gives? At the Washington Post, Kevin B. Blackistone assures us that the league has secretly decided to ‘blackball’ Kaepernick because of his bold stand in support of social justice or something.

Oh, so now Kaepernick is a victim? I don’t think so buddy and here is why. Kaepernick took his career chances in his hands when he refused to stand for the National Anthem. Now, while he may want to protest whatever social justice issue that is trendy that week the fans do not care.

The only job that Kaepernick has is to show up on the field, throw a ball, and win some games. No one cares about his thoughts on the black community during work hours and rightfully so. If he has an issue that he wants to talk about then he can do that all he wants on his days off.

The other reason that Kaepernick may not be signed with another team is that maybe he truly sucks as a quarterback. I mean did anyone think of that possibility? Or, is it easier for these social justice warriors to make this glue sniffer a victim?

I will let you answer that one.

In Hot Air, they logged his stats:

As quarterbacks go, his more recent performance was somewhere between dismal and mediocre. He had a less than 60% completion rate and was in the bottom third of the league for yards per pass. His passer rating was easily thirty points below the guys who made it to the final dance. But even for all that, he wasn’t that bad. Even the bottom quarter of ranked NFL passers are still light years ahead of the hundreds of hopefuls coming out of college every year. So at least one part of Blackistone’s theory is true. His antics definitely affected the outcome, but that’s because we’re talking about a sliding scale here. Allow me to offer a quick rule of thumb when it comes to profession sports as perceived by one of the fans:

The amount of embarrassment your team is willing to put up with is directly proportional to your measured value in terms of how likely you are to get them into the Superbowl.

Obama met with South Korean leader President Moon Jae-in on Monday for 40 minutes. This happened just days after President Trump met with the leader of South Korea. It appears that Obama’s shadow government is still in full swing.

The Korea Herald reported that the South Korean President spoke about his meeting with President Trump, asking Obama for advice on how to improve relations between the two countries.

“President Moon Jae-in renewed his resolve to pursue sanctions and dialogue to tackle North Korea’s nuclear program during a meeting with former US President Barack Obama on Monday, saying now is the “last chance” for the regime to return to the negotiating table.

During the 40-minute talk, Moon shared the results of his recent summit with his incumbent US counterpart Donald Trump, asking for Obama’s advice on ways to advance the relationship.”
This just looks bad for our entire country when a former President undermines our current President by speaking behind closed doors about sensitive information that could ultimately lead to our strengths and weaknesses being exposed. That sounds a little traitorous wouldn’t you agree?
Obama needs to back off and remember that he is no longer the President of The United States and has no business discussing such sensitive information. What he is doing is dangerous and must be stopped immediately. There is no third-term for you Obama, the American people spoke and you are old news. We are headed in a new direction, one that puts Americans first.
Our good friend Steve Straub at Federalist Papers points out that this could be construed as a violation of the Logan Act as defined by Cornell Law School:

“Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.”
The meeting between the two came just after Obama spoke at the Asian Leadership Conference and the Fourth Congress of Indonesian Diaspora in Jakarta. As usual, he used his time bad-mouthing the current President and his policies. He bashed Trump for backing out of the Paris Climate accord and putting America first ahead of the rest of the world.
Obama stated in Indonesia –

“In Paris, we came together around the most ambitious agreement in history about climate change, an agreement that even with the temporary absence of American leadership can still give our children a fighting chance.”

Obama spent years praising Bush Jr. for stepping aside after his presidency but appears to have double standards for himself stating he is “still a citizen and that carries with it duties and obligations.” In other words, he is going nowhere.

First Lady Melania Trump doesn’t like the limelight, nor does she seek out adulation from the American people. So, when reports started to come out that she gave back something very valuable to the citizens of the United States, she didn’t want the White House to publicize it. What she restored was something that Michelle Obama had taken away, and as this story comes out, it’s causing the liberal loons to lose their minds, but you’ll love it.

Remember when the liberal media was screaming about Melania Trump staying at Trump Tower until Barron got out of school? They were ripping her apart, saying she was costing taxpayers gazillions of dollars, and she was such a spoiled rich wife of a billionaire that she had no concept that it was such a burden. Well, those liberal haters are eating crow now.

“According to a report published by a private organization that tracks government spending, Open the Books reveals that Melania Trump has saved more money with her staff than Michelle Obama did as the first lady. Melania has 19 fewer staffers dedicated to her office than Michelle did in the White House. Mrs. Trump has five staffers versus the 24 staffers who served Michelle Obama,” reports Inquisitr.

Melania could have 24 staffers, like Michelle, but part of the Trump plan was to streamline the White House staff, which under the Obamas had become a bloated bureaucracy. Michelle was such a prima donna that she employed numerous staffers, including schedulers, directors, planners, associates, social and press secretaries, and other assistants.

So, how much is Melania saving tax-payers? Approximately $5.1 million dollars a year, but that’s not all. Overall, the Trump White House is saving a total of $22 million dollars. “President Trump’s ‘leaner White House payroll,’ as reported by Forbes, is saving taxpayers $22 million overall. This information is verified by the fact that the current salaries for White House employees was made public on Friday. Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner are taking a total salary of zero dollars,” according to Inquisitr.

Since Melania Trump has lived the life of a very rich woman in her adult years, especially after marrying Donald Trump, common sense would suggest that she’d be the one who would go in for the lavish spending, but that’s just not so. On the other hand, Michelle Obama’s previous home was in Chicago, and while it was a beautiful house in an upscale neighborhood, it was far from the digs of the Oprah and Richard Branson set, who were two people the Obamas love to hobnob with on their lavish vacations. While one would think, given their histories, Michelle would expect fewer luxuries, her 8 years as the first lady proved that’s not the case, either.
We have to remember that Melania Trump grew up in a communist country. She grew up poor and watched her parents be very frugal with what little money they earned. “Melania grew up with humble roots in Sevnica, Slovenia, where she was known as Melanija Knavs and lived in Communist-style apartment housing that overlooked a river and smoking factory chimneys,” Associated Press reports.

Now, you won’t be hearing from the mainstream media about Melania giving back five million dollars to taxpayers each year after Michelle had been spending on her personal friends, hiring them as her staff during her eight years as the first lady. Even if Melania only stays in the White House for four years, that’s 20 million dollars she’s saving the American taxpayers.

It just goes to show you the character of Melania. No one would have questioned if she, like Michelle, hired 24 staffers. But, she knows Americans are hurting economically and that we elected her husband to help bring wealth and jobs back to America.
