In order to attain the highest honor in the Scouts – Eagle Scout – one must do something pretty special.

And that’s exactly what a 15-year-old boy from Massachusetts did, and now all of America is applauding.

Kyle Zimmer noticed one day that his town’s flags, while prominently flown during the day, weren’t properly illuminated at night.
Proper flag etiquette (of which far too many Americans are ignorant) says the flag must be illuminated at night and if this isn’t possible, the flag must be taken down.

So, Zimmer decided he wanted the flags lit and embarked on a project to get the town of Groton to make it happen.

Of course, he had to go before the town board twice and raise the money himself, which isn’t much of a surprise as most liberal states aren’t in the business of patriotism.

The ambitious boy managed to raise $3,000 through the crowdsourcing GoFundMe site; a pasta night fundraiser helped, as did dozens of other contributors to the cause.

That was enough to get his solar lights and he was even able to, with the help of his parents, install some of these lights at nine flag displays across the town.

Mission accomplished.
And why did he do it? When asked by the local ABC affiliate, the patriotic teen replied:

“To honor those who fought and died for our country.”

This young man has more respect for his country and his flag than most people these days, which is simultaneously heartwarming and a little sad.

Would he have had to do this fifty years ago? Or would those flags been properly treated…?

It’s a question well worth asking, as we continue to battle the anti-American Leftists who burn the American Flag as a show of “rebellion” and “behead” the president as a show of entertainment.

Yeah. Times have changed. And NOT for the better.

Subject Politics reported that Trump took to Twitter to say that this is nothing more than a massive witch hunt. He also exposed the double standard the FBI is subjecting him to, considering the fact that they let Hillary Clinton off the hook for dozen cellphones with hammer to cover up evidence. Somehow, she was not charged with obstruction of justice for what she did.

“You are witnessing the single greatest WITCH HUNT in American political history – led by some very bad and conflicted people!” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Why is that Hillary Clintons family and Dems dealings with Russia are not looked at, but my non-dealings are?”

“Crooked H destroyed phones w/ hammer, ‘bleached’ emails, & had husband meet w/AG days before she was cleared- & they talk about obstruction?” he added.
Trump took to Twitter to address Mueller’s investigation into him once again on Friday morning.

Nothing is above the rule of political correctness in this country, not even the U.S. military.

Did you know it is now mandatory for soldiers to take a “transgender sensitivity training” course? Neither did we.

But it’s true: Those who serve in the U.S. Army must be educated on how to be “sensitive” around transgender individuals…you know, as opposed to learning how to defend themselves and a country.
Granted, it’s only a 50-minute course but this doesn’t bode well; it’s a slippery slope that we’ve seen in all facets of our society.

And military veterans aren’t big fans of this. One who has served in “every major campaign from Grenada in 1983 to present day conflicts” has spoken up, and what he has to say is definitely turning heads.

Here’s what Delta Force Operator Dale Comstock told IJR:

“This whole political social experiment is not helping. The reality is it’s in the Army, it’s in the Navy, it’s in the military.

And unless Mattis and Trump rescind all these policies and stop this madness, it’s here to stay.

It affects morale and combat readiness on many levels. At the end of the day, war fighting is about one thing: Killing people. It’s about bringing home our guys alive.

It’s not about being sensitive to a transgender. This isn’t corporate America, this is the military.

You can’t just put some policy in place because you want people to feel equal. Most guys who join the military, especially special operations forces, were the boys who had dirt clod fights on the playground, wrestled and fist fought, stole each other’s girlfriends, and pledged allegiance to the flag.
And that same spirit and apex predator mindset goes with us into the military.”

Comstock added that such policies are affecting those who serve overseas as well. You won’t believe this little story:

“I was in Afghanistan working for a government agency. And this one guy was there with us in the middle of a war zone, but he hadn’t gone through his Equal Opportunity training.

So they flew a bird out to get him in the midst of a war zone. That type of thing can immediately give away our position to the enemy.”

That really is completely asinine.

There are limits to political correctness and at some point, reality must dictate our actions. As Comstock says, the military is serious business; it’s not an office where people’s feelings get hurt.

It was a radical Leftist who called for the “ultimate punishment” for President Donald Trump and other members of his team.

Throughout the country, week after week, we see more examples of liberal insanity reaching a boiling point, from Antifa thugs attacking peaceful assemblies to crushing freedom of speech on college campuses.

And yet, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi continues to blame the wrong side.
Though she stood beside Speaker Paul Ryan and made an impassioned plea for unity, she couldn’t help but blame Right-Wing individuals for the Virginia incident.

Via Independent Journal Review:

“During Pelosi’s Thursday morning press conference, she accused Republicans of, in effect, inventing ‘politics of personal destruction’:

‘Somewhere in the ’90s, Republicans decided on a politics of personal destruction as they went after the Clintons, and that is the provenance of it, and that is what has continued.’”

‘Somewhere in the ’90s, Republicans decided on a politics of personal destruction as they went after the Clintons, and that is the provenance of it, and that is what has continued.’”

But Fox News host Greg Gutfeld called out “Nancy Pants” and then alerted her to the obvious facts:

“Sorry, lady, the ‘politics of destruction’ started way before that. And it’s back for one reason: the attacks on discourse.

If you shut down discourse, there’s no stopgap between rage and violence. Discourse keeps us from killing each other.”

Gutfeld then rattled off a list of questions that no Democrat wants to answer:

“Are conservatives the ones shouting people down on campus?”
“Are conservatives blockading offices and physically attacking speakers?”
“Are conservatives rioting after elections?”
“Are conservatives harassing professors for calling out racism?”
“Are conservatives stabbing police horses?”
“Are they throwing urine on young women?”
Gutfeld finished by saying what everyone in America has known since President Trump was elected:

“This attack on discourse isn’t a right-wing thing — it’s a left-wing thing.”

As a matter of fact just today it was reported by The Hill that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein confirmed that he might have to recuse himself from any further involvement in the Russian investigation, and if he decides this is the best course of action it all but confirms Mueller needs to join him in that decision.

Rosenstein reportedly told his colleagues that he is now considering his own recusal in the Russian investigation, though it is not clear why he has reached this conclusion. The implications of the decision may magnify questions over Mueller’s own status.

Rosenstein reason to recuse himself would be the prospect of his being a potential witness in the obstruction of justice investigation against President Trump. Recently a leak from the special counsel investigation revealed that Trump is now a potential target — a leak clearly calculated to deter Trump from his reported consideration of firing Mueller.

Rosenstein has the final say on whether Mueller is allowed to stay on the special council. That gives him influence over a Special Prosecutor who could be investigating Rosenstein’s own role in the firing of Comey. This is a major conflict of interest and proves we need fresh blood on this investigation if it does proceed further. This witch hunt is going too far and Democrats are going to find themselves in a major conundrum if they don’t act accordingly.

Fox News legal expert Gregg Jarrett has suggested Robert Mueller recuse himself from the special counsel due to his relationship with James Comey stating:

“If you look at the special counsel statute it says you cannot serve as special counsel if you have a personal relationship with someone who is central to the case. If this Washington Post story is true, it’s now Trump against Comey. Comey is now the star witness, the key witness against Trump. Well, guess what? Comey and Mueller are longtime close personal friends, partners, allies. They were joined at the hip at the DOJ and FBI. It’s a mentor-protege relationship. How is this fair to Donald Trump because Mueller is now going to decide whether to believe his good friend or the man who fired his good friend.”

Mueller and Comey joined in a historical moment that defined both men in a deeply personal way. In March 2004, Comey, who was deputy attorney general, went to the hospital bed of Attorney General John Ashcroft to keep him from relenting to demands from White House counsel Alberto Gonzales and others to sign papers reauthorizing the unconstitutional domestic surveillance program.

Watch the video here.
It is clear Mueller needs to step down. No one should be considered for such an important matter when history proves the relationship between the two is clearly close-knit. It is wrong to expect that Mueller will in any way throw Comey under the bus and that leads to nothing but bad things.

Via Angry Patriot Movement:

The assassination attempt on Republican congressmen that resulted in the hospitalization of House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) could be the bi-product of RADICALIZATION by leftist leaders like Loretta Lynch.

Lynch previously released a disturbing video in which she said blood and death would be necessary to advance the progressive agenda. James Hodgkinson was simply obeying the radical ideology espoused by the former Attorney General in that video. Blood and death? That’s exactly what Hodgkinson was up to at the Virginia baseball stadium where he tried to commit a massacre.
Fortunately, there were armed police officers on the scene. Scalise’s leadership position gives him a 24-hour security detail. As we common sense conservatives always say, the only person who can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. But you won’t hear the progressive media talking about the virtues of widespread gun ownership. And you won’t hear them talking about how Hodgkinson was a radical Bernie Sanders supporter and campaigner. Those facts don’t fit their narrative. Because, for the media — and for Democrats like Loretta Lynch, it’s all about the narrative. The narrative they want to spin is that Donald Trump is some kind of mad dictator.

In their minds, then violence is justified. It’s reprehensible. Then they use guilt by association. All Donald Trump supporters are viable targets. So are all Republicans. All these Democrat rats need to do is convince enough gullible liberals of their lies and soon you have the nationwide terrorizing of conservatives. It really is sick! Many of these radicalized liberals don’t have the best mental health to begin with. They’re easily worked up by the stories Loretta Lynch and her ilk make up, making them think President Trump and Republicans are going to take all their rights away — and the only solution to some of them is bloodshed.

James Hodgkinson and other thugs committing crimes against conservatives are de-facto pawns of the Democrat Party. We believe it’s the liberal dog-whilsters who are ultimately responsible for this violence. To end the carnage, we have to aggressively investigation known radicals. They won’t stop radicalizing impressionable progressives unless they’re prosecuted.

The most recent method of attacks that Muslims are employing is the use of vehicles to plow into civilians causing as much destruction as they can and that’s what makes this the judgment on this case involving this type of attack so unacceptable. 26-year-old Lugman Aslam is a Muslim who lives in the UK and decided to plow through a group of men he had an altercation with at an earlier time. The Judge sentenced the man but in doing so praised Aslam for being a good family man who acted out of character. He actually praised the man for his actions and in doing so gave other Muslims more reason to carry out such attacks. While Aslam was sentenced to 5 years, it also showed him how far he can take things. The Judge should have locked him up for life.

According to The Daily Mirror:

26-year-old Lugman Aslam, from Leicester in the UK, found himself in a physical altercation with a group of men after he backed his van into one of them. He was allegedly racially abused while doing so.

Recorder (circuit judge) Justin Wigoder, described the incident that followed. Aslam, with revenge on his mind, returned to his van, mounted the curb and drove straight through the group of pedestrians to “get [his] own back.”

“I’ve seen it on CCTV and you deliberately mounted the pavement and drove straight at them and right through the middle of them at speed,” said Wigoder.

“Some were thrown to the side and three were struck by your vehicle front-on, with one going over the bonnet and hitting the windscreen,” he continued.

“It’s quite remarkable that nobody was seriously hurt or killed and the only injuries complained of were bruises and scratches.”

“One indication of the force of the collision was your windscreen was smashed – you claimed it had been hit by an animal when you got it repaired,” he continued.

“You accept your intention, driving at them, was to cause serious injury and that’s what makes this case so serious.”

“The motivation was driving at them to get your revenge, to get your own back from the fact they’d assaulted you,” Wigoder concluded.
Wigoder, however, argued that this was “completely out of character” for the van driver. The judge went on to praise Aslam as a “good family man” that had glowing references.

“You’re of very positive good previous character and I’ve received a considerable number of references setting out all the good that is in you,” he said.

He went on to add, “you’re a good family man with a young daughter and I take that very much into account.”

According to his defense, Aslam “was fasting [for Ramadan] on that day and had been doing so for about 20 days” when he tried to injure the pedestrians.

“He’s a hardworking, unassuming and quiet man, of small stature,” his defense lawyer Nadeem Aullybocus said.

“He’s never been involved in gang culture and was simply on his way to meet his wife and child when the encounter (with the five men) took place.

“Something happened out of the ordinary and he reacted in a way he can’t explain.”

“Clearly he saw red and went for these five people.”

“He’s been suffering from depression ever since.”

“Others speak highly of him. He also does charitable work in the community,” the lawyer concluded.

Aslam pleaded guilty to the charge of dangerous driving and attempting to inflict intentional grievous bodily harm. Due to the Criminal Justice Act 2003, granting him automatic parole, it is unlikely that he will serve half of his prison time incarcerated.

Aslam received a five-year sentence and a four-and-a-half year driving ban.

Considering the number of vehicle attacks that have happened around the world as well as in London, the most recent for the UK being the Westminster bridge and London bridge attacks, it is surprising that Aslam received such a light sentence.

Actions always speak louder than words.

Before Donald Trump was elected President of the United States, he promised the American people he would put a hammerlock on the out-of-control illegal immigration that has crippled this country.

And that wasn’t a lot of big talk, either.

Not only has he managed to slash immigration from countries with dangerous Muslim ties, he also encourages ICE and other law enforcement agencies to come down hard on those who break the law.

Now, he has fulfilled more of his campaign promise; this is a very big step in the right direction, America.

According to a press release issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Trump has ended an Obama-era program that awarded legal status to undocumented parents of American kids.

“On June 15, Department of Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly, after consulting with the Attorney General, signed a memorandum rescinding the November 20, 2014 memorandum that created the program known as Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (‘DAPA’) because there is no credible path forward to litigate the currently enjoined policy.

The press announcement also observed that before DACA had even been implemented, it had received significant pushback from a majority of the states with approval of the federal court system.”

And the reaction on social media was immediate.
Of course, you can bet liberals are absolutely losing their minds right now but hey, they’re the ones who think there’s a difference between “undocumented” and “illegal.”

“I think that, very carefully, we have to talk about the added dynamic here. Because you have the right and the left – the extremes on the right and the left – you have fake news, you have conspiracy theorists who are really muddying the waters, and we have become desensitized,” explained Brzezinski.

“We also have a president who pushes fake news and conspiracy theories – from birtherism, to promoting violence on the campaign trail. I mean, this is the new dynamic here. I’m not putting anything squarely on the president, but I have to say that this is the new added dynamic to what is a very dangerous climate,” said Brzezinski.
She went on to compare President Trump’s rhetoric to the Bill Clinton sex scandal. “I know that you’re … on the edge of your seat as I talk about this. I know what I’m trying to say here, and I’ll try and give you a parallel to help you understand: What Bill Clinton did to the issue of sex to an entire generation,” she explained.

Just decades ago, Sweden’s leftist government opened its borders to migrants, adding 1 million asylum seekers to its population of just 8 million. Since then, the country has seen rape skyrocket 1,472 percent while crime has increased 300 percent. Now, statistics suggest that as many as 1 in 4 Swedish women will be raped. Unfortunately, this hasn’t stopped the justice system from enabling such brutality and misogyny.

After an unnamed woman was brutally gang-raped by a trio of migrants in the city of Ludvika, she immediately reported the heinous sexual assault to Swedish authorities, leading to her attackers’ arrests. The courageous victim soon testified in court that all 3 of the suspects had participated in the gang-rape, confirming that 2 restrained her while a third raped her. In a shocking turn of events, the victim must watch her attackers walk free but must accept that one of them will receive a hefty settlement from the court.

According to Swedish online newspaper Dala-Demokraten, despite a court sentencing all 3 migrants sentenced to 4 years in prison, deportation, and compensating the victim over $19,000, a liberal appeals judge has overturned the ruling, acquitting the migrants of all charges and awarding one of them more than $16,000 in damages.

In a case that has shocked the country, the Court of Appeals ruled that all 3 of them “should, therefore, have been acquitted of all charges” and that the third convict receives compensation because the judge believes it is unclear which role each migrant played in the rape. Although the judge acknowledges that the 3 migrants did participate in the sexual assault, he ruled that they should not have been convicted unless the court knew who held the woman down and who penetrated her.

The appeals judge’s ruling contradicts the migrants’ prior testimonies in which one of the suspects blamed the other 2 for raping her while they say they were not even in the area. The court found DNA evidence proving that at least 2 of them were at the location during the time of the rape and that they had conspired to sexually assault the victim. Unbelievably, this was not enough to convince the judge, who indirectly blamed the victim for not being able to identify the attackers’ specific roles in her abuse.

One of the gang-rapists, a 25-year-old migrant living in the same town as his victim, has been ordered to receive approximately $16,100 for wrongful incarceration. Seeing his comrade’s success, one of the other rapists attempted to cash in on the court’s handouts, claiming “suffering” at the hands of the Attorney General as well as $4,300 in lost wages. Fortunately, his requests were denied but only on the grounds that his DNA proved that he was at the scene and, therefore, played some part in the crimes.

According to the Attorney General, Sweden is implementing so-called “Edgewater situations” in which courts are freeing suspects if they cannot identify the specific role they play in a crime. This has already occurred in another case in which a pair of migrants murdered their own baby.

In March 2017, a Swedish court acquitted Muslim refugees of beating their infant to death after the court failed to prove which parent carried out the brutal murder. Although the investigation determined that one of them killed the child, their testimonies consistently blamed each other, leading authorities to drop the charges completely.

In addition to walking free, the Muslim refugees were awarded over $18,000 in compensation for wrongful incarceration after they spent 3 months in jail awaiting trial.
