Kneeling during the national
anthem has taken the sports by storm since San Francisco quarterback Colin
Kaepernick began it during preseason to protest police treatment of black
people. Other NFL players have done it along with high school football players.
But Virginia Tech basketball
coach Buzz Williams will not have that behavior in his house. Instead, he chose
to show his players why we stand for the national anthem. We do it to honor the
men and women who sacrificed so much so we can enjoy our freedom at home.
There’s
a 4½ minute video of coach Williams on the website. Various versions have been up on YouTube for
over a year, but the recent disrespect exhibited by the SF quarterback makes it
timely. The video on the LI website shows over 34 million views! It's inspiring.

DonaldTrump met earlier today with Mexico President Peña Neito on the subject of immigration policy, building the wall, and other topics of mutual interest.
Trump’s anticipated speech
tonight on Immigration, from Arizona, is being broadcast live at 9pm (6 pm
Phoenix time) on C-Span. If your cable provider does not include C-Span, you
can watch a livestream RSBN video via YouTube (h/t Sundance). The video below is from the Phoenix venue covering pre-speech interviews. It will probably segue straight into Trump's speech; I'll post another link if it does not.
Here's a for sure live stream link to the speech (h/t Sundance). As I post this, Trump has just arrived in Phoenix:
Or, if you need an embiggened image, go straight to YouTube here.
And the mainstream media is complaining today about the lack of transparency regarding Donald Trump's meeting today with the PresidentPeña Neito of Mexico.
A YouTube link to the Neito/Trump press conference is here. (Press conference starts around the 31:20 mark.)
Breitbart reports: Rep Marcia Fudge: ‘No People of Color’ at Donald Trump Rallies
The story is just more complaining from a member of the
professional grievance industry. First, here’s the photo from the Breitbart
story:
Here’s the Cleveland Heights pastor
who introduced Donald Trump at the Cleveland, Ohio rally at the IX Center (if you missed this video earlier, it's a Must See):
And Cleveland Tea Party's own blog of photos, taken at
the Trump rally in downtown Cleveland during RNC week, is here. One of the last photos on that blog is
of Diamond & Silk,
and most of their appearances stumping for Trump are over at YouTube, such as here; just search for Diamond and Silk.
Rep. Marcia Fudge could learn from these two marvelous ladies.

Trump’s Lincolnesque Moment”: A landmark in the emergence of a new Republican
Party” HERE.
Brexit advocate Nigel Farage was
Donald Trump’s special guest at yesterday’s rally in Jackson, Mississippi,
attended by around 10,000 Trump supporters. It’s just over 6-minutes on the YouTube video, it’s
fun to watch, and the two campaigns, Brexit and Trump’s, have much in common:
