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.

As per the usual these days, entitled brats of the left recently decided to gather in order to demand that President Donald Trump is impeached. Unfortunately for them, things would take a turn quickly after kicking off their little whine-fest rally – and just about every onlooker there was left completely shocked to see who else was in the crowd at the time.

The incident took place in San Diego in the heart of the very liberal California. However, as we all know, leftists like to enjoy the company of limited like minds and pat each other on the back as they celebrate how smart they all are.

Too bad for them, that’s not exactly a healthy way of living – at least, not in the real world. Before long, you get the idea that your way of thinking is flawless and that your opinion is more popular than it really is. After all, when everyone around you is saying the same thing, it’s easy to think that you’re in the overwhelming majority.

As these California liberals were about to find out that really wasn’t the case. In all, somewhere between 700-1,000 Impeach Trump protesters showed up for the most recent rally, but they weren’t the only ones.

Come to find out, attendees would be left shocked to see who else was in the crowd, wandering around with them as they marched down the street. According to reports, about 100 pro-Trump counter-protesters showed up, and that was all it took to actually drown out the liberal speakers.
Trump Supporters and “Proud Boys” crashed an Impeach Trump Party in San Diego on Sunday.

The pro-Trump counter-protesters drowned out the speakers with chants of, “USA! USA! USA!…”

There were about 700-1,000 Impeach Trump protesters and about 100 counter protesters.

But the Trump supporters were courageous and LOUD! [Source: The Gateway Pundit]
The left may think they’re superior and always in the right, but that just isn’t the case. In fact, they pale in comparison to the passion, ambition, and sheer will-power of American conservatives.

When it comes down to it, all liberals like to do is waste time and energy on worthless crap. I mean, seriously – getting together for a giant whine-fest? That’s all this was. Trump hasn’t done anything wrong, and he certainly hasn’t done anything legally worthy of impeachment.

A word to the wise – just because you want something does not mean that you’re going to get it. The left needs to wake up because this madness isn’t doing them any favors. For one, it’s only making them look like petty children. Secondly, it’s actually hurting future efforts as people will take them less seriously the longer this continues.

Barack Obama is still on the lam in Indonesia after extending his vacation, and he just was caught doing duties overseas that only the U.S. President should be doing. Barack is trying to wield some power as he acts as a “shadow president.” Now, Donald Trump has a brutal surprise for Barack, and it’s not something that he will ever forget.

Former President Barack Obama seems to be feeling nostalgic for his old job, meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in Monday for 40 minutes. Not only that but the Korea Herald reported that Moon spoke about his recent meetings with President Trump in Washington and asked Obama for his advice on how to improve that relationship.

Right away, if you’re completely pissed off, you’re not alone. Who in the hell does Obama think he is? It’s obvious that Obama’s minions leaked to the Korea Herald that he’s giving Jae-in “advice on Trump.” This not only flies in the face of the roles of former presidents, going against the decorum which they should display in public, it’s a violation of the Logan Act.

“The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that details the fine and/or imprisonment of unauthorized citizens who negotiate with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States,” according to Wikipedia. While no one is really ever prosecuted for violation of the Logan Act, never have we had a nutjob like Obama running around acting like the “shadow president,” either.

Newt Gingrich, who works closely with President Trump, has indicated that Trump indeed has a nasty surprise waiting for Obama when he gets home. Obama can’t stay on the lam indefinitely, and after these shenanigans, Barack will have to come back and face the music.

“Guess what’s about to happen: The Congress is about to have to call Barack Obama in to testify under oath about when he knew about Russia meddling,” Gingrich said on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends. “Who told him? Why did he do nothing? Who was in the meetings when he decided to do nothing? It’s going to turn out, yes, there’s a big Russian story. It’s Barack Obama. Not Donald Trump. And you cannot make this stuff up.”
So, get ready for Obama to take the hot seat with Trey Gowdy after his National Security Adviser Susan Rice. If Rice is smart, she will save her own skin and point the finger at Obama who actually sat on information that some entity, they say the Russians, hacked into the Democratic Committee and possibly other organizations. But, with Hillary Clinton expected to win the election, Obama did not want to upset the election with any “hacking” news.

Gingrich said that Congress must seek answers from Obama as to why he did not do more to stop the cyber attacks during the campaign. “The Congress has an obligation to call him in. How can you be told the President of the United States knew last August the Russians were, in fact, involved in this and not ask him and ask him under oath? I mean, how can you be so irresponsible?” the former speaker said.

Obama even posed with the South Korean president in what looks like an “official” pic for a state visit. Why the South Korean leader would agree to such a meeting is beyond me, but somehow, Barack wormed his way in, in some sick attempt to look like he was in charge once again. What started out as a “family vacation,” morphed into a shadow president overseas tour. We knew something was amiss when Michelle and the girls mysteriously left Obama in Bali, without any media coverage.

Even though it wasn’t started under Barack Obama, the Lifeline Program — colloquially known as the “Obamaphone” — became a symbol of the expanding entitlement state under the previous administration.

Now, a report from the Government Accountability Office reveals largesse and fraud under the Lifeline Program is even worse than its conservative critics imagined.

According to the Washington Times, the report — conducted at the behest of Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat desperately trying to establish moderate credentials before her re-election bid next year — revealed over one-third of those enrolled in the program likely aren’t qualified.
“Some 10.6 million people have an Obamaphone, but 36 percent of them may not qualify, investigators said after sampling the population and finding a huge chunk of people couldn’t prove they were eligible,” the Times reported.

“More than 5,500 people were found to be enrolled for two phones, while the program was paying for nearly 6,400 phones for persons the government has listed as having died.”

That’s hardly surprising, considering the dearly departed have always been a key liberal demographic. However, the living proved just as able to get around the system as the inert and embalmed.
According to The Daily Caller, the GAO sent 19 investigators undercover to apply for Obamaphones using easily detectable fraudulent pretenses. In those cases, “we were approved to receive Lifeline services by 12 of the 19 Lifeline providers using fictitious eligibility documentation.”

Part of the problem is that there aren’t efficient checks to see if someone is eligible. To qualify for an Obamaphone, one needs to be on certain forms of government assistance, like SSI disability or food stamps.

However, the Federal Communications Commission left the task of screening applicants to the phone vendors, who profit off the program. Furthermore, they didn’t check through intergovernmental databases whether those who claimed they were on SSI on their Obamaphone application actually were.

In Georgia, an estimated 79 percent of those who claimed they were on SSI to receive a phone weren’t, and estimates for the United States at large are as high as 65 percent.
This massive fraud is beyond shameful, and the sad thing is that it was easily preventable. According to The Daily Caller, the GAO report noted “that after basic eligibility checks were instituted, the cellphones-for-the-poor program shrunk by a third, from $2.2 billion to $1.5 billion.

“In the 30 days following the addition of meager but previously absent anti-fraud measures, monthly payments dropped $40 million,” the outlet added.

There were other gems in the report (I was particularly impressed with the part where the program has $9 billion in funds stored away in private banks as opposed to in the Federal Treasury where it belongs), but the clear message is that a deliberate lack of oversight has facilitated kudzu-like growth of the Obamaphone program through willfully-ignored fraud.

If the program can’t be quashed — and I’m sure we’ll see some pusillanimity about going in that direction when Democrats start to cavil about the “fundamental meanness” of such a move — the least the administration and Congress can do is establish strict oversight. American taxpayers deserve better than to have their money squandered by politicians who find it politically inexpedient to prevent fraud.

One of the biggest problems Americans face today is elitists who live in bubbles.

Whether they are multi-millionaire actors named Johnny Depp or left-leaning “journalists” at CNN, elitists live in a closed-off world where they believe that their struggles are more important than yours, and their minority opinions are actually shared by everyone.

One of those Hollywood elitists got a nasty surprise after she provoked the wrong Green Beret.
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow once compared reading mean tweets on the internet to facing combat as a soldier, but was quickly put in her place.

While the exchange is a few years old, the response from U.S. Special Forces veteran and Purple Heart recipient Bryan Sikes is a classic, and is a timely reminder that just because elitists shriek the loudest, they do not speak for true Americans.

To Miss Paltrow,

I’d first like to start out by saying how terrible I feel for you and all your friends that on a daily basis have to endure mean words written by people you don’t know. I can only imagine the difficulty of waking up in a 12,000 square foot Hollywood home and having your assistant retrieve your iPhone, only to see that the battery is low and someone on twitter (the social media concept that you and all of your friends contribute to on an hourly basis to feed your ego and narcissistic ways), has written a mean word or 2 about you. You’ve hit the nail on the head, war is exactly like that. You should receive a medal for the burden you have carried on your shoulders due to these meanies on social media.

You said, “Its almost like, how in war, you go through this bloody dehumanizing thing and then something is defined out of it.” I could see how you, and others like you in “the biz”, could be so insecure and mentally weak that you could pair the difficulty of your life on twitter to my brothers who have had their limbs ripped off and seen their friends shot, blown up, burned and disfigured, or wake up every morning in pain – while just starting the day is a challenge. How about our wives? The ones that sign on to be there for us through thick and thin, that help us to shake the hardships of war upon our return? And do all this while being mothers to our kids, keeping bills in order because we are always gone, and keeping our lives glued together. They do all this, by the way, without a team of accountants, nanny’s, personal assistants, and life coaches. Yeah, reading a mean tweet is just like all that.

You know what is really “dehumanizing”, Miss Paltrow? The fact that you’d even consider that your life as an “A-list” celebrity reading internet comments could even compare to war and what is endured on the battlefield. You and the other “A-listers” that think like you are laughable. You all have actually convinced yourselves that you in some way face difficulty on a regular basis. Let me be the first to burst your bubble: a long line at Starbucks, your driver being 3 minutes late, a scuff mark on your $1200 shoes and a mean tweet do not constitute difficulty in the eyes of a soldier.

Understand me when I say this: war does not define me. It is a chapter in my life that helped shaped me. Being a husband and father is what defines me. Remember, sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never…be close to what war is.
Even a few years later, the left has apparently still not learned that lesson.

As liberals lose their collective minds over Donald Trump pushing back on Twitter and act as if a humorous video of the CNN logo being tackled is hate speech, it’s important to take a step back and remember what true adversity is.
A soldier deployed in a war zone deserves our respect; a spoiled coastal elitist does not.

As Independence Day approaches, let’s give our attention and gratitude to true heroes who fight for American ideals, and leave the chattering classes in their small, isolated bubble.

H/T Independent Journal Review / Clash Daily

Monday night on Fox News Channel, “Tucker Carlson Tonight” host Tucker Carlson mocked CNN for their analysts and reporters claiming President Donald Trump’s tweet of a video that showed him wrestling a man with a CNN logo superimposed over his head was a danger to journalists.

Carlson said, “Donald Trump’s feud with the media got even weirder and more intense over the weekend after the president tweeted a video of his staged brawl with wrestling mogul Vince McMahon with a CNN logo superimposed over McMahon’s face. It was a little confusing since CNN and pro wrestling could not be more different. One is an entertainment venture that promotes over-the-top fictional narratives and rigs its fights. The other is the WWE, but whatever. There’s a word for this. It’s called trolling, the digital version of getting someone’s goat. Should the president take time from running the free world to drive the media insane? Maybe not. Probably not. But he obviously enjoys it quite a bit.”
He added, “CNN’s media critic Brian Stelter argued that the video is so offensive, that we ought to suspend the free expression and censor the president’s speech, at least on social media. It’s kind of an odd argument for a journalist to make, but there you have it.”

Two wrongs don’t make a right. That idiom may be a cliche, but it perfectly applies to many situations of so-called “reverse racism.”

It could also apply to a small town in Mississippi, where a young black woman has earned valedictorian honors.

Instead of celebrating the accomplishment, however, the high school graduate made a sick move against the school district: She’s suing the school because she had to share the graduation stage with a white girl, who also earned a co-valedictorian title.
According to The Washington Post, Jasmine Shepard graduated from Cleveland High School in Mississippi last spring. Both she and a white student were given co-valedictorian honors, but Shepard and her family are still bitter about the shared title even a year later.

“Prior to 2016, all of Cleveland High School’s valedictorians were white,” the recently filed lawsuit states. “As a result of the school official’s unprecedented action of making an African-American student share the valedictorian award with a white student, the defendants discriminated against.”

The school district has a pretty good explanation for the shared title: Both students had identical grade point averages.
“As such, under school board policy, they were both named valedictorian of their graduating class,” Jamie Jacks, an attorney for the school district, explained. “The district’s policy is racially neutral and fair to students.”

Co-valedictorian honors for students with identical grades are fairly common in large schools. However, Sherry Shepherd, the mother of Jasmine, apparently believes that disagreeing with the school’s official GPA records makes them irrelevant.

“These children have been attending school with each other since middle school,” she said. “We know the schedule, we know what they take, and we have a good idea where the discrepancy lies.”

Shepherd and the lawsuit are demanding a cash payout for “monetary damages” from the school district. More shocking, however, is the lawsuit’s demand that the white student be stripped of her honors, so that Jasmine Shepard can be declared “sole valedictorian.”
The sad reality is that the student and her family would likely not be suing the school district if the co-valedictorian happened to also be black.

If the GPA numbers are in fact the same — a fact that is presumably easy to confirm — then it seems that the lawsuit is designed to punish a high-achieving student for daring to be white.

The fact that the lawsuit was recently filed an entire year after the graduation took place adds additional pettiness to the case.

A year after being named valedictorian, a student should be focused on their future, such as attending college or pursuing a career.

Instead of celebrating accomplishments, however, the lawsuit filers seem to be bitter about skin color. Stripping a well-earned valedictorian title from a white student is no better than doing so based on dark skin.

The simple fact is that treating a white person differently because of her race is just as bad as if the reverse were true.

It’s a call for special treatment based not on performance, but on race… and demanding the spotlight despite equal accomplishments is the opposite of equality.

Please share this article on Facebook and Twitter if you believe that accomplishments and character should be more important than skin color — whether black or white.

In his first Independence Day speech since leaving the White House, Barack Obama once again demonstrated why he should never have been our president.Real Americans love this country. Real Americans are patriotic.

But there was Obama, standing at a podium in Muslim Indonesia, lecturing Americans on being LESS patriotic.
Speaking to his adoring Muslim fans in Jakarta, Obama slammed what he called “an aggressive kind of nationalism” that fosters “increased resentment of minority groups.”It was a very thinly veiled jab at President Trump’s policy of “America First.”

Obama went on to claim that Trump’s policies will result in “more and more people arguing against democracy, we will see more and more people who are looking to restrict freedom of the press, and we’ll see more intolerance, more tribal divisions, more ethnic divisions, and religious divisions and more violence.”

Does Obama really think we are so stupid or so blind?Our country is already today being flooded with people who argue against democracy, preach intolerance and engage in terrorist violence.And it’s not patriotic Americans. It’s the waves of Sharia-loving immigrants that Obama let in!

Ginger joke-star Kathy Griffin has taken to Twitter once again, this time aiming to punch holes in President Trump after she symbolically beheaded him.“POTUS likes to punch down. Whether it’s anchors, US Attorneys, or stand-up comics. Meanwhile, millions are about to lose health insurance,” Griffin tweeted.Griffin shocked the world last month with a picture of herself holding the severed head of Donald Trump (No insult or injury there).

When the shenanigans hit the fan and Griffin was forced to go on the defensive, claiming to have received “death threats,” she hired civil attorney Lisa Bloom, held a press conference, and portrayed herself as the victim..
“A sitting president of the United States, and his grown children, and the first lady, are personally — I feel — personally trying to ruin my life forever,” Griffin, 56, said recently. “What’s happening to me has never happened, ever, in the history of this great country.”“This is America, and you shouldn’t have to die for [a joke.] The death threats I’m getting, they’re constant, and they are detailed, and they are serious, and they are specific. Today it’s me, and tomorrow it could be you,” Griffin said and added that Trump “picked on the wrong red-head.”

She obviously doesn’t know Donald Trump — or, for that matter, the law regarding making death threats.Griffin played with fire and she got burned. She’s going to continue getting burned and making a fool of herself, as do so many other shallow celebrities who dabble in liberal politics. And you can bet your last ginger snap that Kathy Griffin et al don’t use Obamacare.

President Trump recently gave his very first Independence Day speech this past Saturday in front of crowds of civilian and military families. Now he’s made an announcement about his plans for the day, and liberals are not going to be very happy.

The Washington Examiner reports that President Trump is going to spend Independence Day at the White House with some of our fine military and their families for a night that they will never forget. The traditional dinner and festivities go back decades, and now we have a REAL reason to celebrate. Our country is finally back on the path to being GREAT again!
Their day is going to start out on the South Lawn for a picnic and time to sit outside and enjoy the weather. It is going to be an amazing occasion, and there are, without a doubt, going to be tales told from the brave soldiers attending the event.

After the picnic, everyone is going to gather on top of the Truman Balcony to get ready for the fireworks as dusk approaches. It is times like this that show how far we have come as a country, and how much work we still have yet to do.Personally, we are hoping to see great coverage of heartwarming stories about veterans from around the country. Call it a hunch, but we have a feeling the mainstream news outlets are going to be using this occasion to ramble about talks of impeachment and treason.It is pathetic that these people cannot get together for ONE day and honor our country. We should all be proud to be Americans and to celebrate each other on our Independence Day.

Instead, there is going to be mud slung from the Left all day long. They are going to be upset if they are unable to get a reaction from the president while he is handling IMPORTANT matters.This situation is an excellent example of how the media treats our veterans on a day to day basis. These so-called “journalists” would rather talk about the myth that Trump and Russia are working together than discuss all of the good things Trump has done for veterans everywhere.President Trump has fundamentally changed the way that our veterans are cared for, and not a word has been uttered about it from the MSM. The Left should be ashamed of themselves. While we are celebrating our independence from Great Britain and honoring our military, these guys are going to be spewing hate.

While the talking heads in the mainstream media are crying foul over President Donald Trump’s infamous Wrestlemania tweet, it appears to be a smash hit among ordinary folk.

According to SocialBearing.com, the tweet is – by far – @realDonaldTrump’s most retweeted post, ever, with 315,796.

Trump’s next highest tweet in terms of retweets (a message about his trip to the Middle East) sits at 87,166.

The social media analysis site’s audit found that it is also – by far – his most ‘liked’ tweet, with 522,533 likes. His next most ‘liked’ tweet (a shoutout to wounded GOP Rep. Steve Scalise) sits at 41,314.

Of course, you’d never guess so many people are thrilled about the tweet – at least not based on the way mainstream media pundits have reacted to it.

CNN’s Brian Stelter called the tweet “scary, dangerous” during a broadcast yesterday, stating, “who knows which outlet will be next. Who’s going to speak up? Are other media outlets going to speak up? I think they will today.”
Meanwhile on ABC News, NeverTrumper and CNN commentator Ana Navarro frothed over Trump’s tweet, slamming it as “an incitement to violence.”

“He is taking things way too far,” she claimed.

Barack Obama is the epitome of a godless Leftist. His presidency–which nearly ruined this country–showcases the morally bankrupt ideology of a radical movement that has complete disdain for Christianity.

Of course, the media doesn’t want Americans to know how anti-Christian Obama is. That’s why they’ve tried their best to conceal this revealing video, in which Obama shamefully mocks the Bible and Jesus Christ himself. SICK!

Just listen to how he painted the Bible. By taking these passages out of context, Obama wanted to depict Biblical teachings at backward, barbaric, and evil. It’s the standard Leftist tactic of discrediting Christ’s teachings.

Can you believe he even had the nerve to insult the Sermon on the Mount? Obama has no sense of decency whatsoever! He disrespects what is widely considered the greatest religious sermon ever delivered!

We all knew Obama was bad news, but many didn’t know he was willing to sink to these depths–blaspheming in front of a live audience! And the worst part is the people there cheered! The devil certainly has his disciples!
Barack Hussein Obama is upfront on his criticisms of the Bible. But when did he ever call out Islam or the Koran? We’re talking about the book that says it’s okay to kill infidels (anyone who isn’t a Muslim).

Islam is the religion that’s inspired thousands if not tens of thousands or millions of innocent deaths all around the world. The terrorists who target Western cities are simply doing their Muslim duty as described in their holy book.
Where’s Obama mocking of the Koran? Of course, he’ll never do that because he’s an Islamic sympathizer. Islam can do no wrong in Obama’s eyes. ISIS could take out a US city, and old Barack would be out there making excuses for Islam.

The most absurd part of Barack Obama’s story is that he pretended to be a Christian for so many years. Naturally, real patriots saw right through his charade. But, before he moved our country so far to the Left, he had to pretend to pay tribute to Christianity to so the unseeing masses would vote for him. A complete hypocrite!

But Obama was never a Christian. What kind of Christian supports abortion; the murder of innocent children that is completely contrary to God’s law? What kind of Christian throws his support behind gay marriage, which perverts the sanctity of marriage as God himself instituted it? What kind of Christian supports the Leftist state, which seeks to replace worship of God with the worship of the State.

Former President Barack Obama was in Asia, among other things visiting Indonesia where he lived for some years as a child.

While in Asia, he spoke at the Asian Leadership Conference and the Fourth Congress of Indonesian Diaspora in Jakarta and he attacked President Donald Trump pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement.

From Daily Caller:

“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 said in Indonesia.

In addition to violating the tradition of not criticizing the President while overseas, he also met with the South Korean President.
Former President Barack Obama seems to be feeling nostalgic for his old job, meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in Monday for 40 minutes.

The Korea Herald reported that Moon spoke about his recent meetings with President Trump in Washington and asked Obama for his advice on how to improve that relationship.

Does anyone else find this disconcerting?

Why is Obama acting as though he is still in power? And why is he talking to a world leader as though what he has to say matters?

Obama is going to advise the South Korean pre

The Obama Foundation is already trying to undermine Trump actions domestically.

An Army veteran’s gift to charity will now enable 25 Oklahoma families to own their own homes.
Sergeant First Class E-7 Stephen Florentz left behind his home and $2.25 million after his death to Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity, which said it would use the money from his estate to provide houses to 25 families who need them, WXIN reported.

Florentz spent his life giving service to his country. He started out serving in Vietnam as a helicopter medic, became wounded in a battle in Asia, and received a Purple Heart before coming back to the U.S.

Florentz also volunteered to serve a year in Operation: Desert Storm in Saudi Arabia and gave his service to veterans in VA hospitals across the country.

“He gave his life for veterans,” Florentz’s friend Mike Bourland told KFOR.

As someone with a background in service, Florentz especially admired the work of Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity.
“It was just something he was excited about,” Bourland said. “When he moved to Oklahoma he became a homeowner.”

Although he never volunteered for the organization, the cause was near and dear to Florentz, who grew up in a tenement in Brooklyn and always dreamed of owning a home of his own.

“He called me in 2002 and wanted to know about Habitat for Humanity,” said Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity CEO Ann Felton. “I sent him a letter and some paperwork about our organization.”

“He wanted to pass that onto others, particularly others who are less fortunate and not able to buy a house,” Felton added.

When Florentz died six months ago and bequeathed his entire estate to the charity, Felton found out that he saved the paperwork she gave him 15 years ago.

Muslims have no respect for American culture or history, and they have no intention to assimilate. Luckily, our military is not prepared to appease any Muslim demands.

A Muslim student, who is about to attend a historic military academy in South Carolina, is attempting to force the school to allow her to wear a hijab. The school refused her request and told her she is not above the rules.

The military college, the Citadel, has a long history and has operated as a school for 175 years. It has not allowed an exception to the dress code once in its entire history.

Now, an entitled Muslim student is demanding the school break tradition and guidelines to support her religion and protect her feelings.

The Citadel’s dress code is strict. Students are required to be in uniform at all times while on campus, with only two exceptions. They may wear bathing suits while swimming, and be out of uniform during a furlough, which only upper-year students enjoy.

The academy’s president announced the decision earlier this week explaining that, “The standardization of cadets in apparel, overall appearance, actions, and privileges is essential to the learning goals and objectives of the college.”

“This process reflects an initial relinquishing of self, during which cadets learn the value of teamwork to function as a single unit,” the president said, justifying the almost two-century long guideline
The Citadel allows for religious accommodation so long as it does not undermine the objectives of the school such as morale, health and safety, or good order. Breaking unit cohesion for a head scarf is not acceptable.

The Muslim student is not accepting the school’s decision in good spirit. Instead, she is suing the school with the support of the terror-funded Council of American-Islamic Relations. She says the lawsuit will go through unless the school allows her to attend in a hijab.

The Muslim-led attack on our historic institutions is being launched in an attempt to undermine our history. Muslims have convinced short-sided liberals to abandon their principles in the name of protecting the supposedly oppressed.

The Muslims are not fighting for equality, as the school policy treats people of all faiths equally. Instead, they demand special privileges for only themselves. This is a part of the process known as creeping Sharia, where Muslims are able to trick a country into adopting Sharia law one principle at a time.

The school informed the student that they are happy to have her attend if she arrives bareheaded, which is more than fair. Our military doesn’t make exceptions for ANYONE, and that’s one of the reasons it’s the best in the world!

You can’t make this stuff up.

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren refused to take a DNA test mailed to her by Indian-American entrepreneur V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai, who’s running against her for her U.S. Senate seat.

“I’m deeply saddened @SenWarren refused my thoughtful (gift-wrapped) Birthday Gift: the 23&me DNA Test Kit,” Ayyadurai tweeted Sunday. “Most unfortunate! #FakeIndian.”

Ayyadurai then posted hilarious screenshots of a DNA test kit he purchased online as a birthday gift for Warren, who turned 68 in June.
Boston-based businessman and inventor V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai is the real deal. Ayyadura, a Republican, received a Ph.D. and his undergraduate degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Ayyadurai is running on the slogan: “Only a real Indian can defeat the fake Indian.”

Elizabeth Warren has been widely mocked for claiming she’s part-Cherokee Indian. “Pocahontas” Warren once cited her “high cheekbones” as proof of her bogus ethnicity.

Warren reportedly used her fake Native-American heritage to benefit from affirmative action hiring programs that should have benefited ACTUAL Native-Americans.

In 2012, Warren admitted that she told Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania she was Native American while applying for teaching jobs (not surprisingly, she was quickly recruited by both).

Exhaustive investigations have turned up no evidence that “Faux-cahontas” is Native-American.
Thanks to her exploitation of her phony minority status, Warren — who graduated from Rutgers Law School — was hired as a professor at Harvard Law School, where she was listed as a “woman of color.”

As a result of her bogus claims, President Trump (and millions of Americans) have mocked Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas.” Or more fittingly, “Faux-cohontas” and “Princess Spreading Bull.”
