NFL Players Protesting the Flag

Friends and family,
         
I received the email below this morning.  I would ask that you all read it. It is powerful. Then I would ask that you all forward it to everyone on your email list that you believe even give a ** anymore just I have. Further, I would hope that every one of us would refuse to watch any and all NFL games or any professional sports that encourage or condone this crap until they change it. I’m sick of these overpaid “sports heroes” and the influence they have on so many in this country especially the younger generations. If you will all forward this email to all of your contacts, and then those folks to theirs, and those to theirs and so on, we could reach millions.  I know there are many that will not follow through but if half or better do it, it would put the NFL in a pinch.  We all sit around and do nothing while we let the few ruin our country.  Lets try this and see what happens.  WE CAN BOYCOTT TOO!! Screw these protestors. If we aren’t watching then the advertisers will give a hard look and start pressuring them to knock it off.  Lets try it and see if it works.

Joe


I love the game but this sums up why I seldom watch it anymore.  A bunch of thugs covered with tattoo's and wild hairdo's have become far to influential over our children.  In fact our whole society.


                        
Ret. Marine Col. Jeffery Powers wrote to the NFL commissioners the following:


Commissioners, I’ve been a season pass holder at Yankee Stadium, Yale Bowl and the Giants Stadium. 

I missed the ’90-’91 season because I was with a battalion of Marines in Desert Storm. 14 of my wonderful Marines returned home with the American Flag draped across their lifeless bodies. My last conversation with one of them, Sgt. Garrett Mongrella was about how our Giants were going to the Super Bowl. He never got to see it.


Many friends, Marines, and Special Forces Soldiers who worked with or for me through the years returned home with the American Flag draped over their coffins.


Now I watch multi-millionaire athletes who never did anything in their lives but play a game, disrespect what brave Americans fought and died for. They are essentially spitting in the faces and on the graves of real men, men who have actually done something for this country besides playing with a ball and believing they’re something special! They’re not! My Marines and Soldiers were!


You are complicit in this! You’ll fine players for large and small infractions but you lack the moral courage and respect for our nation and the fallen to put an immediate stop to this. Yes, I know, it’s their 1st Amendment right to behave in such a despicable manner.


                         

What would happen if they came out and disrespected you or the refs publicly?


I observed a player getting a personal foul for twerking in the end zone after scoring. I guess that’s much worse than disrespecting the flag and our National  Anthem. Hmmmmm, isn’t it his 1st Amendment right to express himself like an idiot in the end zone?


Why is taunting not allowed yet taunting America is OK? You fine players for wearing 9-11 commemorative shoes yet you allow scum on the sidelines to sit, kneel or pump their pathetic fist in the air. They are so deprived with their multi-million dollar contracts for playing a freaking game!


You condone it all by your refusal to act. You’re just as bad and disgusting as they are. I hope Americans boycott any sponsor who supports that rabble you call the NFL. I hope they turn off the TV when any team that allowed this disrespect to occur, without consequence, on the sidelines. I applaud those who have not.


Legends and heroes do NOT wear shoulder pads. They wear body armor and carry rifles
They make minimum wage and spend months and years away from their families. They don’t do it for an hour on Sunday. They do it 24/7 often with lead, not footballs, coming in their direction. They watch their brothers carted off in pieces not on a gurney to get their knee iced. They don’t even have ice! Many don’t have legs or arms.


Some wear blue and risk their lives daily on the streets of America. They wear fire helmets and go upstairs into the fire rather than down to safety. On 9-11, hundreds vanished. They are the heroes.


I hope that your high paid protesting pretty boys and you look in that mirror when you shave tomorrow and see what you really are, legends in your own minds. You need to hit the road and take those worms with you!


Time to change the channel.


Powers originally sent his letter to former Florida congressman Allen West
.
West then posted the letter on his news website.


As of last week, at least 18 NFL player had protested the anthem by either kneeling during the anthem or raising their fists, according to USA Today Sports.

The Atlantic claims the eclipse is racist

 This is a serious article. According to the Atlantic, the eclipse is racist because not enough black people live along it's path.

On August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse will arrive mid-morning on the coast of Oregon. The moon’s shadow will be about 70 miles wide, and it will race across the country faster than the speed of sound, exiting the eastern seaboard shortly before 3 p.m. local time. It has been dubbed the Great American Eclipse, and along most of its path, there live almost no black people.

Starbucks CEO Suggests Violence and Hatred Towards Whites is Acceptable

Howard Schultz is a disgrace. He recently came under fire for saying he was going to hire thousands of Muslim refugees over Americans/Veterans. He continues to side with the violent leftists by refusing to condemn Antifa, Black Lives Matter and Islamic terrorists.

According to Schultz, only the white supremacists were violent, bigoted and hateful.

People were outraged over Schultz’s comment and called for more boycotts of Starbucks. Many accused Schultz of being bigoted and full of hate.

Greater consumption of vegetables may delay cognitive decline by 5 years

Greater consumption of vegetables was associated with slower rate of cognitive decline over 6 years in this large community-based population of older persons. The decrease in rate for persons who consumed greater than two vegetable servings per day was equivalent to about 5 years of younger age. Of the different types of vegetables, green leafy vegetables had the strongest association. Fruit consumption was not associated with cognitive change.

 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3393520/pdf/nihms384896.pdf

Berry intake may delay cognitive aging by up to 2.5 years.

Greater intakes of blueberries and strawberries were associated with slower rates of cognitive decline (e.g., for a global score averaging all six cognitive tests, for blueberries: p-trend=0.014 and mean difference=0.04 [95% CI=0.01, 0.07] comparing extreme categories of intake; for strawberries: p-trend= 0.022 and mean difference=0.03 [95% CI=0.00, 0.06] comparing extreme categories of intake), after adjusting for multiple potential confounders. These effect estimates were equivalent to those we find for approximately 1.5 to 2.5 years of age in our cohort,indicating that berry intake appears to delay cognitive aging by up to 2.5 years. Additionally, in further supporting evidence, greater intakes of anthocyanidins and total flavonoids were associated with slower rates of cognitive decline (p-trends= 0.015 and 0.053, respectively, for the global score).

Interpretation—Higher intake of flavonoids, particularly from berries, appears to reduce rates of cognitive decline in older adults.

Almonds Help Boost Good Cholesterol

“There's a lot of research out there that shows a diet that includes almonds lowers low-density lipoprotein, or LDL cholesterol, which is a major risk factor for heart disease,” Penny Kris-Etherton, a nutrition professor at the university, said about the study. “But not as much was known about how almonds affect HDL cholesterol, which is considered good cholesterol and helps lower your risk of heart disease.”

TELLING LIES ABOUT LADY LIBERTY

Much of the debate about immigration policy is driven by myth rather than reality. The most egregious of these myths surround the Statue of Liberty. And they play a significant role in the war on immigration enforcement being waged by the open borders lobby.

On Tuesday evening, March 7, 2017, the National Park Service briefly turned out the lights on Lady Liberty in order to replace faulty electrical equipment. The next morning the mainstream media was filled with stories claiming that the power outage was symbolic. CNN proclaimed “Statue of Liberty Goes Dark, Lights Up – and the Symbolism Is Not Lost.”  It also cited the poem on the base of the statue as, “a clear argument against President Donald Trump’s travel ban and immigration crackdowns.”

Meanwhile, the Washington Post trumpeted “The Statue of Liberty Went Dark Overnight and the Timing Was Just ‘Too Perfect,’”, claiming that “Lady Liberty was… protesting President Trump generally and, more specifically, his travel ban just a day after he signed the revised executive order limiting entry to the United States from six Muslim-majority countries.”

But these protests are based on a flawed argument. The Statue of Liberty has nothing to do with immigration. In fact, she was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States, to commemorate the centennial of American independence and the influence of the founding fathers on French revolutionary ideals.  Her full name, Liberty Enlightening the World more accurately reflects her true purpose, championing the worldwide diffusion of the republican form of government. She is, metaphorically speaking, a symbol of liberty as an influential emigrant – an encouragement to those who would seek democracy at home, not those seeking a new homeland.

She became entwined with immigration in the popular imagination due to her physical proximity to Ellis Island and a poem affixed to her base.  That sonnet, called The New Colossus, was written by Emma Lazarus, a wealthy socialist poet popular in early 1900’s New York literary circles, and auctioned off as part of the campaign to raise funds for the pedestal on which the statue was erected. Nevertheless, open borders advocates have imbued it with the same significance as the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.  They are mistaken. The United States has always been welcoming to newcomers. But liberty under the rule of law has always been our core principle – not immigration.

Lazarus’ poem implies that immigration is what made America great. Yet, in reality, it has always been American greatness that attracted immigrants. Auguste Bartholdi understood this. That’s why he built Liberty Enlightening the World and gave her to the United States. If Lady Liberty was protesting anything when her lights went out, it was probably the way in which her history has been distorted not President Trump’s efforts to preserve ordered liberty in the face of terror.

Millennials Unearth an Amazing Hack to Get Free TV: the Antenna

Dan Sisco has discovered a technology that allows him to access half a dozen major TV channels, completely free. "I was just kind of surprised that this is technology that exists (alternative source)," says Mr. Sisco, 28 years old. "It's been awesome. It doesn't log out and it doesn't skip." Let's hear a round of applause for TV antennas, often called "rabbit ears," a technology invented roughly seven decades ago, long before there was even a cord to be cut, which had been consigned to the technology trash can along with cassette tapes and VCRs. The antenna is mounting a quiet comeback, propelled by a generation that never knew life before cable television, and who primarily watch Netflix , Hulu and HBO via the internet. Antenna sales in the U.S. are projected to rise 7 percent in 2017 to nearly 8 million units, according to the Consumer Technology Association, a trade group. Mr. Sisco, an M.B.A. student in Provo, Utah, made his discovery after inviting friends over to watch the Super Bowl in 2014. The online stream he found to watch the game didn't have regular commercials -- disappointing half of his guests who were only interested in the ads. "An antenna was not even on my radar," he says. He went online and discovered he could buy one for $20 and watch major networks like ABC, NBC, Fox and CBS free.
