NFL History on Demonstrations

I hope this helps us to understand just when the public’s respect for the
NFL organization started to crumble....

- In 2012 the NFL had an issue with Tim Tebow kneeling for each game to
pray, they also had an issue with Tebow wearing John 3:16 as part of his
eye-black to avoid glare, and made him take it off.

- In 2013 the NFL fined Brandon Marshall for wearing green cleats to
raise awareness for people with mental health disorders.

- In 2014 Robert Griffin III (RG3) entered a post-game press conference
wearing a shirt that said "Know Jesus Know Peace" but was forced to turn it
inside out by an NFL uniform inspector before speaking at the podium.

- In 2015 DeAngelo Williams was fined for wearing "Find the Cure" eye
black for breast cancer awareness.

- In 2015 William Gay was fined for wearing purple cleats to raise
awareness for domestic violence. (Not that the NFL has a domestic violence
problem...).

- In 2016 the NFL prevented the Dallas Cowboys from wearing a decal on
their helmet in honor of 5 Dallas Police officers killed in the line of
duty.
- In 2016 the NFL threatened to fine players who wanted to wear cleats
to commemorate the 15th anniversary of 9/11

So tell me again how the NFL supports free speech and expression, all of a
sudden... It seems quite clear based on these facts that the NFL has taken a
position against any action by NFL players demonstrating RESPECT for any
issue: For God, social causes such as mental health, cancer, domestic
violence, for cops killed arbitrarily for being cops, for the Memory of
9/11...

But, they will allow demonstrations of DISRESPECT for our National Flag, our
National Anthem, for America, and for the American People, if it will help
mollify a particular Group and its supporters. That is who and what the NFL
has shown itself to be.


That bit of NFL history kinda puts things in perspective; thanks to the author. But worth mentioning... I have my own little demonstration going on: I have "taken a knee" as regards the NFL. Right, I haven't watched an NFL football game for more than a year; I missed it at first, but by the end of the season I was quite disengaged. Now I automatically tune out NFL game results. Plus, I pay a lot more attention to college football and NASCAR and... stuff that matters. Give it a try this year. It feels good.

Honor our military, too many of whom have come home with the American Flag draped over their coffin.

Kevyn, all that is necessary for you to understand how the left thinks is to read this column by this liberal "journalist". Lakoff thinks the media is kowtowing to Trump? You have to be kidding. Trump had one of the best weeks in terms of results in many different areas and the media ignores it and tries to find fault with his accomplishments. We can only pray that most intelligent people can see through this one-sided BS. The media is so unbalanced to the left that it's going to be a continual battle to educate them. We can only hope and pray. Go Trump.

Many years ago I was asked "what is the best form of government?". I answered, a dictatorship, IF, the dictator is smart, well educated, loves the country, loves the citizens, and cares for the well being of the population more than his/her own self; much like most healthy immediate family structures. Failing to find such a person we must find another form of government. Our forefathers designed our present form and called it a republic. For over 200 years it has worked well. It has always been challenged but never as seriously as now. I fear for my loved ones, friends and most of our fellow Americans as I wait to take my leave of this world. I fear the possible future for others; am pleased that I lived my life during the good times. Am now old, living on borrowed time and I'm ready to leave both mentally, emotionally and in spirit. I wish all of those who will survive me good fortune. It is my humble opinion that President Donald Trump will do good for our country if given some help from the right people and the voters. However, I'm not very optimistic as there is much hate around us. Hatred is the biggest destructive force we have on this planet.

It’s the democrats fault, it’s the democrats fault, it’s the democrats fault, it’s the democrats fault, the press is all fake, the CIA is corrupt, the FBI is corrupt, the Justice Department is corrupt,
Kim Jong un is a strong leader, seems like a great guy, funny guy. Putin a real strong leader. It’s the democrats fault, ripping kids away from the parents of refugees seeking asylum are now classified as illegals and throwing them in cages it’s the democrats fault. There is no democratic law I wish you Trump supporters who refuse to read legislation could tell me where in any immigration law that democrats passed that rips kids away from there parents.

I G 500 Page report completely absolved Trump Of Russian Collusion And Obstruction. IG report investigated the Clinton Emails scandal which occurred in 2016 Trump became idiot president in 2017 had nothing to do with Russian investigation and Mueller was appointed after idiot president was in office.

To sum up as written in the IG report that was obtained from the Trump Justice Department it concluded. That bias did not affect Clinton email scandal investigation, the FBI had proper reasons for declining to prosecute Clinton, and that the only improper actions influencing the 2016 election were actions that damaged Clinton not Trump. I guess Fox News did not report on that portion of the IG report and Trump supporters just like the idiot in the White House did not read the 500 page report.

Let’s face it democrats the White House idiot can lie and his cult followers will believe him.

There is no corruption, it is just a pathetic smoke screen put up by Trump in a feeble attempt to avoid personal accountability. Comey, as the report states screwed up by making public an uneventful and dead end investigation about nonsense about Clinton’s emails. This violation of policy combined with Russian treachery and Trump campaign collusion is the only reason we suffer an idiot Pumpkinfuhrer instead of a qualified president. Trump should be kissing Comeys backside but he can’t because his only hope to stay in office is to destroy the credibility of the Justice Department with outrageous slander.

I guess I should say.....rumor has it. If you hear of any back-up (which is definitively needed) would somebody be so kind. Unlike most of the news you get today, I need a few sources. Don't want to get sloppy. I find it so humorous and for that reason I had to put it out there. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/06/james_comey_is_running_for_president.html Please, somebody, tell me I'm wrong. In one way, it's great news. Now Mueller has a new set of attorneys to put on his unbiased panel...Comey donors. Does that guy in the middle of the Iowa cornfields look 6'8" to you? Please look for confirmation!

America's Constitutional Crisis Is Here, Now

I keep hearing that if Trump fires Mueller we’ll face a constitutional crisis.

Or if Mueller subpoenas Trump to testify and Trump defies the subpoena, it’s a constitutional crisis.

Or if Mueller comes up with substantial evidence that Trump is guilty of colluding with Russia or of obstructing justice but the House doesn’t move to impeach him, we’ll have a constitutional crisis.

I have news for you. We’re already in a constitutional crisis. For a year and a half the president of the United States has been carrying out a systemic attack on the institutions of our democracy.

A constitutional crisis does not occur suddenly like a coup that causes a government to collapse. It occurs gradually, as a system of government is slowly weakened.

The current crisis has been unfolding since the waning days of the 2016 campaign when Trump refused to say whether he’d be bound by the election results if Hillary won.

It continued through March 4, 2017 when Trump claimed, without evidence, that Obama had wiretapped his phones in the Trump Tower during the campaign.

It deepened in May 2017 when, by his own admission, Trump was thinking of “this Russia thing” when he decided to fire FBI Director James Comey, who had been leading the bureau’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, andthen admitted to Russian officials that firing Comey had relieved “great pressure” on him “because of Russia,” according to a document summarizing the meeting.

A constitutional crisis becomes especially dangerous when a president of the United States tells the public it cannot trust the government of the United States.

Over the last few weeks, Trump has done just this.

First he accused the FBI of sending a spy to secretly infiltrate his 2016 campaign “for political purposes.” Then he issued a “demand” that the FBI investigate the spying – resulting in the Justice Department sharing portions of the FBI investigation with Trump’s allies in Congress.

Trump blamed the entire Mueller investigation on a conspiratorial “deep state” intent on removing him from office. He used pardons to demonstrate to those already being investigated that they shouldn’t cooperate because he can pardon them, too, and then bragged to reporters that he is considering 3,000 more pardons —thereby anointing himself the judge of what is fair, rather than the judicial branch.

He claimed he has the absolute right to pardon himself and can thereby immunize himself from any outcome; and asserted he has the power under the Constitution to end the investigation whenever he wants.

The crux of America’s current constitutional crisis is this: Our system of government was designed to constrain power, but Trump doesn’t want to be constrained.

Our system was conceived as a means of promoting the public interest, but Trump wants to promote only his own interest.

Our system was organized to bind presidents to the Constitution, but Trump doesn’t want to be bound by anything.

The crisis will therefore worsen as long as Trump can get away with it. An unconstrained megalomaniac becomes only more maniacal. He will fill whatever political void exists with his unbridled ego.

The only legal way to constrain Trump is to vote for a Congress, this November, that will stand up to him. And then, in November 2020, vote him and his regime out of office.

If he refuses to accept the results of that election, as he threatened to do if he lost the 2016 election, he will have to be forcefully removed from office.

Friends, we are no longer trying to avert a constitutional crisis. We are living one. The question is how to stop it from destroying what’s left of our democracy.

Mr. President, You Have Been Given The Authority To Prosecute, Why Haven't You??

By Bradlee Dean ~ NWV ~ June 6, 2018

“When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear.” —Thomas Sowell

If I see a reoccurring post on social media, almost without fail, it is a post from the people reminding the President of his promises told to them on the campaign trail concerning the rule of law that he promised to bring back in. After all, he has been given delegated authority from “We the people” to prosecute; yet he has not.

Remember Donald Trump said on December 29, 2017, “I can do whatever I want with the Justice Department?”

The question that I have for the President is, why haven’t you prosecuted the enemies within who mean to destroy you and this country? (I, of course, am playing to those that still have not opened their eyes to this never-ending game of circus politics that they are caught up in.) (Jeremiah 5:21)

“A king (President Donald Trump as a Representative of the American people under God’s moral Law, Common Law) that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away evil with his eyes.” – Proverbs 20:8

Therefore, we see that judgment scatters evil away as does it guard our liberties. Yet, judgment has not been brought forth to establish peace and righteousness within our country by this administration. (Amos 5:15)

I ask, what of that “swamp” that remains to be judged according to the law, Mr. President? If you remember, that was to be drained by your administration.

Americans need to awake to the fact that this is all controlled opposition, the left warring against the right is nothing more than pro wrestling.

Furthermore, this president acts, and I said acts (this is what actors do), more like an impotent victim than the Commander-in-Chief. America, Donald Trump is the President, not the victim!

He is nothing more than a created underdog (CIA Controlled media attacking him unless it agrees with the agenda) who is being beaten up by those that he fails to prosecute. Why? It is to simply drive more support for his administration. This is a Communist tactic.

“The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.” -Vladimir Lenin

Furthermore, this is merely the “Circus of Politics” from start to finish, designed to divert one’s attention away from the agenda that they are pushing forward. All of this, of course, is behind the contrived and fabricated “smoke and mirrors.”

Look at the headlines, just today, highlighting the crimes of corruption in government.

Obama Administration Official’s, FBI, and CNN Coordinated to Set Up Donald Trump

Well, Mr. President, when is that DOJ that you have control over to do what you will, going to bring forth judgment against those that allegedly want to overthrow your administration? This is illegal Mr. President. (10 U.S. code 7 894- Art. 94. Mutiny or Sedition. Or Article 3, Section 3 of the US Constitution.)

This is simply the conditioning of the American people by pulling away prosecution of the guilty with help coming from the likes of the appeasers Trey Gowdy, Jason Chaffetz, and Daryl Issa.

We are not seeing Justice Americans, we are seeing injustice. These criminals are not being prosecuted, and, at length, they are being promoted (Matthew 16:14-16).

“If you tell them what they want to hear, they don’t bother to try to see.” –Libba Bray

“Stuart Varney: ‘Entrenched Obama Bureaucrats Tried To Cover For Hillary, Destabilize Trump”

On May 25, 2018, Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Friday received the Radcliffe Medal, which annually honors a recipient whose life and work have had a “transformative impact on society.” Sound familiar? “Fundamentally Transform America.” I thought Barrack Obama and Hilary Clinton were rivals?

Where is that special prosecutor, Mr. Trump, that you promised to bring forth were you to win the Presidency?

“Politicians like to tell people what they want to hear and what they want to hear is what won’t happen.” -Paul Samuelson

And another one to add to the never-ending games (This just today)

“America deserves to know if Democrats (As if to suggest that there is a difference between the democrats and the republicans; Divide and conquer Mark 3:25) used taxpayer money to fund spy ring in Trump Campaign”

All circus politics, no justice: No rule of Law unto judgment to establish peace (Isaiah 51:4), just empty promises.

Side note: The hypocrisy and willfulness to justify the president (The professed Christians in this country may want to make sure that they are Christians before making sure the president is one (1 John 2:6). In an attempt to justify themselves (Luke 16: 14-16), it has become so apparent that pro-life organizations are thanking Donald Trump for a victory in a PROPOSED bill to defund the abortion industry. I said PROPOSED. Where did government receive delegated authority from “We the People” to enact such legislation, forcing taxpayers to pay for the murder of the innocent in the womb? (Proverbs 6:17)

Maybe those that are duped by political theatre would like to take a look at the $1.3 trillion omnibus bill that Donald Trump just signed under “National Security” that funds the illegal abortion industry with a $51 million deposit into Abortion Industries bank accounts, paid for, of course, by these cheerleaders who refuse to judge this administration by its fruit (Matthew 7:16).

Americans do not see when it comes to these corrupt politicians that they are simply protecting their own, as well as themselves and the corporations and special interest groups for which they work. Time will prove this truth, as it always does.

How many administrations were called out for their crimes during their incumbencies? When questioned for their crimes, they would stand and deny it publically and laugh it off, only to find later on that they finally admit it when they are no longer in office. Every, single one of them (John 8:44).

It has been said, “If you start throwing these corrupt politicians in jail that the swamp will dry up real quick.”

So, I ask again, where is that rule of Law, Mr. President?
