"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan

Over the years, we’ve grown accustomed to the national anthem to start sporting events. It means that the umpire is about to say play ball or the referee is about to flip the coin. It’s like a prayer before dinner or one of those moments when you see the big picture, or that you are part of something bigger than yourself.
A few days ago, some of the Cleveland Browns decided to create their 15-minutes of fame. They decided to take a knee during the national anthem.
On Monday, before their game against the New York Giants, a dozen Cleveland Browns players took a knee during the playing of the national anthem while several players placed a hand on the shoulders of kneeling players in a show of support, ESPN reports.
“There’s a lot of racial and social injustices in the world that are going on right now,” Browns rookie safety Jabrill Peppers told ESPN. “We just decided to take a knee and pray for the people who have been affected and just pray for the world in general.”
Players said linebacker Christian Kirksey led the prayer.
“We did it out of respect,” Kirksey said. “No disrespect for anyone, we just felt like it was the right time and the need to do it.”
No disrespect for anyone? What about respect for the national anthem or the flag?
These suddenly political conscious Browns were a 3-13 team last year. SI is projecting a 2-14 season:
There aren’t many Ws on the schedule, but Jacksonville is the first winnable game for the Browns.
My point is that a 3-13 team projected to go 2-14 should be grateful that anyone pays to see them play or gives them a uniform to wear.
President Trump in Phoenix goes after the media ande some in his party...........did that make sense? Isn't he going to need these GOP members to pass tax reform? PC madness has reached a new level of nonsense when an Asian American named Robert Lee is moved from a Virginia college game to avoid offending people........are you kidding me? the 3-13 NFL Browns decided to make a political statement by kneeling during the national anthem......they are projected to go 2-14 this upcoming season......... and other stories...

Political correctness went totally crazy last night when an Asian American Robert Lee was removed from calling a football game in Virginia. It gives a different meaning to that song "Mr. Lee":
"One, two, three Look at Mr. Lee
Three, four, five Look at him jive
Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee Oh, Mr. Lee
Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee Oh, Mr. Lee
Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee Oh, Mr. Lee

(Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee) I met my sweetie
(Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee) His name is Mr. Lee
(Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee) Well, he's the hansomest sweetie
(Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee) That you ever did see
(Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee) My heart is achin'
(Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee) For you Mr. Lee
(Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee) My heart is achin'
(Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee) For you Mr. Lee
(Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee) 'Cause I love you so
(Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee) And I'll never let you go
(Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee) Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee

Since 1992, when then Governor Clinton had his wife Hillary vouch for his matrimonial character on “60 minutes”, the Clintons have been a wrecking crew in our politics.
They’ve been a timeline of destruction, from the 1994 mid-term losses to not delivering Arkansas and the presidency to VP Gore in 2000.
In other words, what have the Clintons done other than improve themselves or put cash in their pockets? When will Democrats learn that this man and this woman are out to for themselves and everybody else is a convenient step to achieve their goals.
The latest example of Clinton corruption is the Post Office. It’s hard to believe but true. The Clinton wanted to turn your friendly postman into a campaign operative. This is the latest in what we could call “postman gate”:
Republican lawmakers are casting a wider net in their search for wrongdoing at federal agencies in past election cycles, after learning the Postal Service violated the law by allowing employees to do union-funded work for Hillary Clinton’s campaign while on leave.
The lawmakers blasted out letters on Monday to 10 other federal government agencies questioning their unpaid leave policy for union-related political work.
Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wis., led the charge on the review of agencies’ practices after spurring an investigation by the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) beginning in October 2016.
That inquiry revealed that the USPS violated federal law by letting employees perform union-funded work for Clinton’s campaign and other Democratic candidates while on leave from the agency.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., joined Johnson’s efforts this week by penning joint letters to the departments of Commerce, Homeland Security, Defense, Justice, Labor, Transportation, Treasury, Agriculture, Veterans Affairs, and the Social Security Administration Monday.
The letters concerned what’s known as “union official Leave Without Pay (LWOP)” for political campaign activity.
The letters cited the OSC’s findings regarding the USPS that “only [employees] who wanted to campaign for the [union’s] endorsed candidates were given the opportunity to take several weeks of leave on short notice, over the objections of local supervisors who raised concerns about potential operational impact.”
The OSC’s findings revealed that the USPS violated the Hatch Act, a federal law that limits certain political activities of federal employees. While employees are allowed to do some political work on leave, the report said the USPS showed a “bias” favoring the union’s 2016 campaign operation.
The GOP is exactly right here. Keep looking, because if there’s a scandal then we know there’s a Clinton!
On a more serious note, it’s time to revisit public sector unions and the bureaucracy. They are one and all devoted to the Democrats. How else could the Clinton campaign have exploited federal workers?
Interestingly, none other than President Franklin D. Roosevelt feared public sector unions.
This is what George Meany, the former president of the A.F.L.-C.I.O, said about it:
“It is impossible to bargain collectively with the government.”
We’ve learned a few things about the deep state since the last election. First, they are very Democrat. Second, they are scared to death that President Trump and the GOP are about to spoil their party, or the power that they’ve enjoyed sitting in a bureaucracy.
Frankly, the Clintons should have taken their act to Brazil years ago. This is how they win elections down there.
