Your Host, Kaepernick, Nike - and China - The Rush Limbaugh Show

Your Host, Kaepernick, Nike - and China - The Rush Limbaugh Show:

But think about this. You’ve no doubt heard over the years the stories of where and how Nike (what do you call them, sneakers, tennis shoes, Air Jordans) are made. They’re made in sweatshops in the jungles of Asia. The people that make these shoes are actual slaves. They work seven days a week. They work for veritable peanuts. They are youths in many cases, and they are paid practically nothing. They kept none of the spoils of the profits generated by the sale. So here’s this shoe outfit. Look, labor costs are the number one costs for any business and particularly a manufacturing business.

Starbucks boots police officers because customer ‘did not feel safe’ around them – The Daily Sheeple

Starbucks boots police officers because customer ‘did not feel safe’ around them – The Daily Sheeple
"Some police officers in Tempe, Ariz., say they were asked to leave a Starbucks coffee shop on the Fourth of July because a customer complained they “did not feel safe” with the cops present, according to reports.
Five officers were drinking coffee at the Starbucks location prior to their shift beginning when a barista asked them to move out of the complaining customer’s line of sight or else leave, the Tempe Officers Association wrote in a series of Twitter messages...

Showtime Mocks Conservatives Getting Censored, Attacked - Hollywood in Toto

Showtime Mocks Conservatives Getting Censored, Attacked - Hollywood in Toto
"Mini AOC is no more.

The child who mocked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a series of funny videos did the work professional comics wouldn’t dare.
The girl with the oversized black glasses and sharp comic instincts, alas, won’t be recording any more clips.
Why?
Her family reportedly received death threats for the tyke’s shtick and had their names doxxed, most likely, by hard-left thugs.
...It’s a reminder of what’s at stake in the current political climate.
While the Left rages against President Donald Trump, some of its members seem hell bent on using violence to stop him in 2020.

Or, at the very least, silence anyone who dare speak up on his behalf.

Just ask Andy Ngo, the journalist who suffered a brain bleed after Antifa members savagely beat him. Or former White House Spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders, forced out of a restaurant for daring to serve the President.
The restaurant owner continues to defend the decision.
Tucker Carlson felt the Left’s rage, too, or at least his wife did. Antifa members marched on his home, banging on the door and scaring his wife so badly she called the police. “We know where you sleep at night,” they cried.

...The projection here is … stunning.
Today, conservatives are being ostracized, silenced, muted and shadow-banned across digital platforms and in real life for simply sharing right-of-center views.
Some conservative stars, like James Woods, are asked to delete incendiary tweets while liberal stars routinely say far, far worse sans a wrist slap.
According to “Our Cartoon President,” conservatives are too “whiny” about the issue.
The message is clear.
The Left doesn’t oppose conservatives being blacklisted from the culture at large.
They don’t look at social media platforms booting right-leaning talent or greatly diminishing their ability to earn a living as a problem.
Not even close..."

What the left (and their media comrades) is trying to do to our children today!----What were the things Soviets were told about the world outside the Iron Curtain?

What were the things Soviets were told about the world outside the Iron Curtain?

John Dewar Gleissner, History Buff for 40+ Years--Updated Aug 20, 2017

Soviet citizens were told the Americans were oppressed by the rich and that we did not live any better than Soviet citizens.

President Nixon arranged a cultural exchange whereby ordinary Russians visited the USA and Americans visited Russia.

One Russian lady, a confirmed communist, visited the USA on a cultural exchange and was taken to a modern grocery store/supermarket.

This lady chose which direction the car should drive so that she would get an objective sample of American grocery stores.

She walked into the store, saw abundance she’d never seen in the USSR, and burst out crying.
Some emotional reaction was common when people from communist countries visited American supermarkets for the first time.

Communism always produced shortages of food and provided limited selections; to buy groceries most communists had to stand in lines..."

"ALASKA - CLIMATE ‘EMERGENCY"----Air-Climate-Energy

"ALASKA - CLIMATE ‘EMERGENCY"

The media is full of stories about ‘’unprecedented’’ temperatures hitting 90°F in Alaska over the past few days.

And according to ‘’experts’’ it’s a heatwave linked to ‘’Climate Change” 😱😱😱.

Only problem is, that history records temperatures of 100°F in Alaska in 1915 and 1934.

In fact, Fort Yukon recorded 5 days in a row in June 1934 when the maximum temp was over 90°F.

Yet again, history is the enemy of the climate alarmist."

D Is for Damaged, Dangerous and Delusional� | News and Politics:

If you watched either or both of the two Democratic Party presidential candidate debates, and if you are a liberal, a conservative or a centrist, you had to have been depressed. The intellectual shallowness, the demagoguery and the alienation from reality were probably unprecedented in American political history. Only a leftist, a socialist or a communist could have gone to bed a happy person on either night.
If you think this is a baseless generalization, here are a few of myriad examples from the first night:

Driven openly insane by their hate-----Ten Independence Day Tweets Showcasing Leftist Media Hatred for Patriotism

Ten Independence Day Tweets Showcasing Leftist Media Hatred for Patriotism

"The Fourth of July is the day we celebrate the glory of the greatest experiment in freedom that the world has ever known.
Unless, of course, you work for most broadcast or digital media outlets.
Then it's your job to let everyone know that hot dogs, parades, and fireworks ARE NOT COOL AT ALL.
Some of these tweets are openly hostile, some just aim to sow seeds of division.
Leftists' dislike for America and patriotism is nothing new, they're just more open about it because they're blinded by a frothing hatred for President Trump.
Here, in no particular order, are ten "you really shouldn't be enjoying yourself today" tweets I happened upon.

14-Year-Old Posts Picture of Airsoft Gun on Snapchat, School Suspends Him for 3 Weeks – Reason.com

The principal calls it "very, very serious" wrongdoing.

"A Maryland eighth grader was suspended for three weeks and did not get to graduate with his class in June.
This was his punishment for appearing in the background of a friend's video in which said friend held a disabled airsoft gun.
The eighth grader also posed for a photo with the friend, who held him in a headlock with the fake gun pointing at his head.

The picture was shared with 13 other friends on Snapchat.
...On Monday his dad—David Bernstein, a nonprofit director—wrote a piece about the incident for The Washington Post.
He said he had asked the private Silver Spring school to reconsider the punishment.

After all, his son did not threaten anyone with a gun.
He did not own a gun.
He did not say anything about wanting to kill students, or take his own life, or do anything violent. He was, his dad wrote, just being a "knucklehead."

But the school insisted the incident was "very, very serious" and therefore warranted suspension through the end of the year.
AND THIS!!
...Bernstein added that this was not the first time he was dismayed by the administration's take on things.
"I first realized something was amiss at the school when I received a call earlier in the year about another 'very serious' incident," said Bernstein.
"My son had told a friend that he observed a teacher texting while driving.
He was then hauled into the principal's office and asked to apologize to the teacher, which he only did reluctantly.
'The teacher was very hurt,' the principal stated. 'And [your son] didn't seem to care.'
Confused about the 'crime,' I asked the principal what if my son was telling the truth.
'That's beside the point,' she said.
'He violated our community values by hurting the teacher's feelings.'"
You don't have to be John Grisham to sense something is a little off here.."

Do they ever correct all the lies they tell?....or their slanderous speculations?

There wasn't a military takeover.

The Blue Angels flying overhead was actually really cool.

Also the Americans that came to the event were great & they enjoyed the spectacular fireworks display.

Please accept our apologies for our foaming at the mouth idiocy & hatred. ~"
