DON'T UYGHUR LIVES MATTER? 🇨🇳

How China Silences the Uyghurs

Slavery: Just Do It!

There is a strange silence by both Muslims and the Left over the treatement of the Uyghurs in China. Although there are a lot of hypocritical similarities between the ChiComs, Nike, and Colin Kaepernick.

Instapundit: But what will Nike do without slave labor to make their products? and Will the NBA support "Free Hong Kong" on Jerseys?

So how was Colin Kaepernick's workout? 🏈 🤔

Powerline: Why Colin Kaepernick may not get a job and Kaepernick's Kaper

Do you really think Colin wants a job? If he was serious--he probably wouldn't have engaged in the kneeling thing in the first place. If you were paying attention--Kaepernick was in serious decline before the protests started. But even giving him the benefit of doubt on that--he would then take any gig in the NFL to work his way into a starting slot. Do you think the NFL is going to ban him if he could contribute to a team winning?

If he goes back to the NFL and doesn't perform--what does that do to his brand? I would have a lot more respect for Colin Kaepernick if he went back and risked everything to show us all that he is as good as he thinks he is.

Bill Bowerman, Nike's Founder, RIP

Bill Bowerman, 10th Mountain Division, WWII Combat Veteran

One Silver Star, Four Bronze Stars, service in Italy

I am going to take a wild guess Bill Bowerman did not have a problem with the Betsy Ross flag. Claims that this flag is racist are ludicrous (Betsy Ross was a Quaker). This slander is deeply insulting to those who fought under the flag and both highly decisive and cynical. What is Nike thinking? It both saddens and infuriates me. The decisions makers at Nike behind this should be ashamed of themselves. It is not just a bad decision, but a profoundly wrong one.

I am a huge supporter of free speech. People and think or say what they want. While they have that right, that does not make them right.

Bill Bowerman was a hero, teacher, and innovator. Thank God for men like this when we needed them. May he rest in peace.

Betsy Ross

Besty Ross sewed the first United States flag. While she did not do the orignal design (other than modifying the star) she was a Philadelphia patriot and deserves our respect.

She was also a Quaker (Abolistionists). Kaepernick and Nike are such dumbasses.

People may not realize it but what Colin Kaepernick & Nike are advocating for is segregation.
They are telling black people that the American flag is not for us and that we need something “separate but equal” to represent us.

They are reintroducing segregationist mentality.

EBL: AOC visits the Border

Joan Caulfield as Betsy Ross

Betsy Ross showed Washington why the five point star was preferable to the six (easier to make)

Call if the Bill Bowerman Memorial Veterans Fund. Bill was one of @Nike's founders and a proud veteran and member of the 10th Mountain Division. He also was awarded a silver star and four bronze stars in WWII. I am sure he would support this if he was still with us. 🇺🇸

Barronelle Stutzman: Persecuted by Washington State

Instapundit: LifeZette: Colin Kaepernick meet Barronelle Stutzman

I support same sex people getting married (if that is what they wish to do). I do not support bullying and government persecution over those who have the temerity to opt out of participating in such ceremonies. It is wrong and essentially forced coercion. This is not the same as denying housing or essential services to some one. Barronelle Stutzman does not deny services to gay people (the plaintiff in her case was a former customer), she simply opted out of participating in his wedding because she said it violated her religious beliefs.

And seriously, a gay couple can't find a friendly florist for a gay wedding? The Attorney General of Washington is a "progressive" media hound looking for a scalp. Barronelle Stutzman is his target. Barronelle Stutzman is not a millionaire like Colin Kaepernick--she is a small local businesswoman being crushed by the unlimited assets of government. Mrs. Stutzman's response to the Attorney General is brave and risking all:

ARLENE’S FLOWERS
1177 Lee Blvd.
Richland, WA 99352

February 20, 2015

Attorney General Bob Ferguson

1125 Washington St. SE

P.O. Box 40100Olympia, WA 98504

Re: State of Washington v. Arlene’s Flowers and Barronelle Stutzman

Dear Mr. Ferguson,

Thank you for reaching out and making an offer to settle your case against me.

As you may imagine, it has been mentally and emotionally exhausting to be at the center of this controversy for nearly two years. I never imagined that using my God-given talents and abilities, and doing what I love to do for over three decades, would become illegal. Our state would be a better place if we respected each other’s differences, and our leaders protected the freedom to have those differences. Since 2012, same-sex couples all over the state have been free to act on their beliefs about marriage, but because I follow the Bible’s teaching that marriage is the union of one man and one woman, I am no longer free to act on my beliefs.

Your offer reveals that you don’t really understand me or what this conflict is all about. It’s about freedom, not money. I certainly don’t relish the idea of losing my business, my home, and everything else that your lawsuit threatens to take from my family, but my freedom to honor God in doing what I do best is more important. Washington’s constitution guarantees us “freedom of conscience in all matters of religious sentiment.” I cannot sell that precious freedom. You are asking me to walk in the way of a well-known betrayer, one who sold something of infinite worth for 30 pieces of silver. That is something I will not do.

I pray that you reconsider your position. I kindly served Rob for nearly a decade and would gladly continue to do so. I truly want the best for my friend. I’ve also employed and served many members of the LGBT community, and I will continue to do so regardless of what happens with this case. You chose to attack my faith and pursue this not simply as a matter of law, but to threaten my very means of working, eating, and having a home. If you are serious about clarifying the law, then I urge you to drop your claims against my home, business, and other assets and pursue the legal claims through the appeal process. Thanks again for writing and I hope you will consider my offer.

Sincerely,
Barronelle Stutzman
