10-Year-Old Crippled Boy Stands for Anthem at Tennessee Fair -- NFL Still Kneeling (VIDEO)

A video of a 10-year-old Tennessee boy is going viral this weekend. Avery Price, who uses a wheelchair, is seen struggling to stand for the American National Anthem.

FOX 4 reported:

Avery Price, a 10-year-old who uses a wheelchair, managed to stand up for the singing of the national anthem. The emotional scene took place ahead of the demolition derby at the Putnam County Fair on Sunday.

In the now-viral video, shared on Facebook by Leah Norris, price can be seen hanging on to his dad for support.

Some Facebook users commented that Price’s action needs to be shown to the NFL, which has been the center of controversy over many players taking a knee during the national anthem.

Meanwhile in the NFL — They’re kneeling again.

Why Normal Americans Hate the “Elites” | Power Line

Why Normal Americans Hate the “Elites” | Power Line
"These are three news stories that came to my attention over the last 24 hours. 
I think they tell us a lot about the current, degraded state of public life in America.

First, the Boston Globe organizes a media protest against the Trump administration’s “assault on the press.”

....To listen to our heroic journalists, you might think that Trump is sending secret policemen to cart them off to prison.

No such thing, of course. 

Rather, Trump is saying things about left-wing press outlets that are nowhere near as nasty as what they have been saying about him since before his inauguration. 

Democratic Party journalists declared war on the president, and they now pretend that his fighting back is somehow an infringement of their rights. 

...Next, on a similar theme, we hear from Dani Rodrik, a professor at Harvard’s Kennedy School. Rodrik is concerned lest educational institutions “normalize” historically low unemployment, steady wage increases and a pro-America foreign policy:

The Trump administration confronts universities with a serious dilemma. On one hand, universities must be open to diverse viewpoints, including those that conflict with mainstream opinion or may seem threatening to specific groups. …On the other hand, there is the danger of normalizing and legitimizing what can only be described as an odious presidency.

It requires a peculiar sense of self-worth to think that your approval is needed to legitimize a president who was elected by the American people. Left-wing academics may think that ordinary Americans don’t notice their arrogance, but they are mistaken.

How, exactly, does Rodrik propose to avoid “normalizing” and “legitimizing” a Republican president? Academic institutions should have nothing to do with anyone who serves in the administration, just as restaurants shouldn’t serve them:

Those who serve with him are necessarily tainted by the experience. Trump’s close associates and political appointees are his enablers….

The stain extends beyond political operatives and covers economic policymakers as well. Trump’s cabinet members and high-level appointees share collective responsibility for propping up a shameful presidency. They deserve opprobrium not merely because they hold cranky views on, say, the trade deficit or economic relations with China, but also, and more importantly, because their continued service makes them fully complicit in Trump’s behavior. Trump’s immediate circle and senior appointees…should not be accorded the degree of respect or deference that their seniority and government positions would normally merit. We do not, after all, have a normal administration that can be served honorably..."

Antifa, BLM: The left's version of free speech - Washington Times:

Say free speech to a Republican and you get a very different definition than when you say free speech to a Democrat.
The Democrats’ version was on display this past weekend in Washington, D.C., when scores of antifa thugs hurled such well-thought-out arguments to political problems as, “You don’t even know who the f— we are,” while rearing in the face of a USA Today journalist and photographer who were at the scene and, indeed, in the throes of finding out who the “f—” they were.

Feinstein’s Ties To China Go Way Deeper Than An Alleged Office Spy

Feinstein’s Ties To China Go Way Deeper Than An Alleged Office Spy
"Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s warm relationship with and advocacy for Communist China go back decades and involve millions, if not billions, of dollars.
“I sometimes say that in my last life maybe I was Chinese.”—Sen. Dianne Feinstein
As media, intelligence agency, and political scrutiny of foreign meddling is seemingly at its apex, a story with big national security implications involving a high-ranking senator with access to America’s most sensitive intelligence information has been hiding in plain sight.
The story involves China and the senior U.S. senator from California, and former chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Democrat Dianne Feinstein.
It was buried eight paragraphs into a recent Politico exposé on foreign efforts to infiltrate Silicon Valley, as a passing example of political espionage:
Former intelligence officials…[said] Chinese intelligence once recruited a staff member at a California office of U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein, and the source reported back to China about local politics.
(A spokesperson for Feinstein said the office doesn’t comment on personnel matters or investigations, but noted that no Feinstein staffer in California has ever had a security clearance.)
Later comes additional detail..."
