We often see celebrities apologize and retract statements whenever they step out of line with the far-left woke mob .
Terry Crews isn ’ t one of those celebrities .
On Saturday , the actor , comedian and devout Christian doubled down on previous statements he had made questioning the Black Lives Matter movement , saying he has decided “ to die on this hill.
” “ Are all white people bad ?
No , ” Crews said on Twitter .
“ Are all black people good ?
No .
Knowing this reality – I stand on my decision to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the race creed or ideology .
“ Given the number of threats against this decision – I also decided to die on this hill.
” The May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody and subsequent protests helped spread the Black Lives Matter movement into mainstream culture .
Since early June , Crews has voiced his skepticism of the movement ’ s intentions , to the dismay of many on the left .
In one of his first tweets on the subject , the “ Brooklyn Nine-Nine ” star decried the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a form of “ black supremacy.

westernjournal--2020-07-08--Fed-Up Greg Gutfeld Blasts Juan Williams for Nearly 2 Minutes Straight in Savage COVID Takedown

” To Williams , this was a sign the administration was trying to “ normalize ” the virus .
“ How does the strategy of normalizing the coronavirus help the Trump campaign ?
” he asked Gutfeld .
“ I mean , obviously people are dying .
This is no common cold .
I think that ’ s evident to everybody.
” Gutfeld , after a laugh , called it “ the craziest question you ’ ve ever done.
” “ No one should take anybody in the media seriously in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t actually made a correct piece of advice , ” Gutfeld said .
“ Let ’ s face it .

In terms of a strategy , it was well-tolerated among people .
We knew there was promise , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Gutfeld was apparently referring initially to an April study that found little or no benefit to patients taking hydroxychloriquine .
That study , which seemed directly prove Trump was wrong about the drug got major play in news outlets like CNN and The Associated Press .
Less attention has been paid to a study published last week by the Henry Ford Health System in Michigan which , according to the Detroit Free Press , found that patients who were given the controversial antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine — touted by the president as a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yet proven to work — had halved the percentage of hospitalized patients who received the drug and died .
In the study , conducted between March 10 and May 2 , 26 percent of patients who didn ’ t receive the drug as part of early treatment died , while only 13 percent who received the drug did .
Back to Gutfeld : “ Two , the rest home deaths .

They didn ’ t want that to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a big story , OK ?

Conservative commentator and actor James Woods issued an urgent call for an intervention Wednesday after Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden ’ s latest gaffe .
Biden was giving a remote address to the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers when his remarks hit a jarring pothole .
After explaining how union workers would benefit from a Biden presidency , Biden said he would “ rewrite our economy so the prosperity flows not just to CEOs , but to workers who actually build the country.

“ I- What I proposed is- is it can be done , ” Biden said .
All this was too much for Woods .
“ Where is his wife ?
Does she not care ?
It ’ s outright cruelty , ” Woods tweeted .
For some , Biden ’ s gaffes perhaps add a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in COVID-19-stricken America , but Chad Banghart , executive director of the Committee to Defend the President , found a darker theme which he expressed in a June Op-Ed .
“ Biden gaffes are unlike any others .

Partisan sniping aside , Joe Concha , a reporter for The Hill , said Democrats might not say a lot about the gaffes , but they find them worrisome as an indicator of Biden ’ s mental ability .
Concha was focusing on the lack of news conferences by Biden in an interview with Fox News .
“ A @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at least , privately that he [ Biden ] does not have the mental acuity that he even had a couple of years ago and this is a candidate that simply would not able to withstand the type of press conferences that the current president has , as far as them going on for an hour-hour and a half , taking questions with multiple outlets with no ground rules attached , ” Concha said .

“Whether he is suffering from dementia or simply losing his oral skills with age, watching a 5-minute clip of Biden is enough to realize that this Democratic presidential candidate is way, way past his prime (if there ever was one),” he wrote.
Partisan sniping aside, Joe Concha, a reporter for The Hill, said Democrats might not say a lot about the gaffes, but they find them worrisome as an indicator of Biden’s mental ability.
Concha was focusing on the lack of news conferences by Biden in an interview with Fox News.
“A lot of Democrats will tell you, at least privately, that he [Biden] does not have the mental acuity that he even had a couple of years ago, and this is a candidate that simply would not able to withstand the type of press conferences that the current president has, as far as them going on for an hour-hour and a half, taking questions with multiple outlets with no ground rules attached,” Concha said.

westernjournal--2020-07-09--BLM Leader Turns Sights from Abolishing Police to US Military Bases All Over World

Black Lives Matter woke , three weeks ago : Get rid of policing , that ’ ll reduce crime .

Oh well .
She moved on .
“ [ Defunding ] these particular programs would provide massive amounts of resources @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and that would mitigate most of the problems that create the so-called problem of crime , ” Ndgo said .

westernjournal--2020-07-09--US Sen: WNBA Should Wear American Flags, Not BLM Logos

Watching sports used to be a welcomed refuge from the real world , but the leftist agenda has wormed its way into every nook and cranny in American athletics , including the WNBA .
Kelly Loeffler , both a co-owner of the league ’ s Atlanta Dream and a Republican senator from Georgia , found herself on the business end of the “ cancel culture ” billy club after she railed against the league ’ s codification of the radical racial agenda in a new initiative and offered her own patriotic alternative .
On Monday , WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which includes the addition of the phrase “ Black Lives Matter ” on the basketball courts and the front of official league warm-up shirts , as well as “ Say Her Name ” on the back of the shirts .
Black Lives Matter is a divisive leftist movement that barely hides its radical agenda behind a thin veneer of anti-racism rhetoric .
“ Say Her Name ” is only slightly more palatable as a movement “ meant to include women in the national conversation about race and policing , ” according to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out BLM ’ s problematic agenda and expressed her concerns about the changes in a letter to Engelbert , according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution , which obtained the document .
TRENDING : Punk Threatening Group of Cops Does n't Sound So Tough When They Call His Bluff Loeffler WNBA Letter by The Western Journal on Scribd “ The truth is , we need less — not more politics in sports , ” Loeffler wrote .
“ In a time when polarizing politics is as divisive as ever , sports has the power to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said .
“ And now more than ever , we should be united in our goal to remove politics from sports , ” the senator said in a common-sense statement .
Loeffler followed up with a tweet Tuesday saying the WNBA “ should stand for and unite around the American Flag — not divisive political movements like BLM that unapologetically seek to defund the police.
” The “ cancel culture ” opportunists immediately descended on Loeffler for rightly giving preference to a national symbol of unity rather than the words of a leftist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ union explicitly calling for her ouster .
RELATED : BLM Leader Turns Sights from Abolishing Police to US Military Bases All Over World The leftist Twitter mob replied with its usual vitriol in support of the players association and opposition to Loeffler and the flag .
Despite the outrage , Loeffler was undeterred as she doubled down on the message and charged head-on against accusations of bigotry in a later tweet .
“ I ’ m calling for unity around the American flag — the ultimate symbol of freedom , ” the senator @ @ @ @ @ @ @ calling for rejection of a movement that promotes violence , attacks police , & embraces anti-Semitism , ” she continued , calling out BLM for its destructive agenda .
“ Who ’ s really on the wrong side of history , @ ReverendWarnock ?
Sounds like it ’ s you , ” she wrote , addressing an Atlanta pastor , Raphael Warnock , who said she had “ chosen to give into the narrow impulses of tribalism and bigotry.
” Loeffler ’ s recommendation that American sports leagues stick to emblems that represent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of contention , but common sense has been unseated by screwball left-wing race theory .
Despite the fact that many in the media espouse radical anti-American ideals and lavish praise on all sympathetic to their cause , most Americans would likely agree with Loeffler as they simply desire to enjoy athletic competition rather than endure vitriol and indoctrination .
Unfortunately , after weeks of protest and cultural upheaval following the May 25 death of George Floyd in police custody , players and league owners in many sports have decided Colin Kaepernick ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to dignified mainstream patriotism .
BLM has solidified opposition to American symbols as a way to deepen the racial divide for its own purposes , and the WNBA has apparently adopted the language of the extremist movement , further alienating half of the country at a time when the foundering league needs all the fans it can get .
The American flag , which used to unify citizens of every political stripe , has instead become another casualty of pusillanimous politicians and business owners kowtowing to the radical left as it steamrolls over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ path .
For today , Loeffler continues to bravely bear the brunt of the “ cancel culture ” while leftists root for another voice to be silenced .
Those who are calling for Loeffler ’ s ouster for her patriotic opinion should take a break from burning flags and toppling statues to heed the warning from history : Every revolution eventually eats its own .

Kelly Loeffler, both a co-owner of the league’s Atlanta Dream and a Republican senator from Georgia, found herself on the business end of the “cancel culture” billy club after she railed against the league’s codification of the radical racial agenda in a new initiative and offered her own patriotic alternative.
On Monday, WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert announced “The Justice Movement” initiative, which includes the addition of the phrase “Black Lives Matter” on the basketball courts and the front of official league warm-up shirts, as well as “Say Her Name” on the back of the shirts.
Black Lives Matter is a divisive leftist movement that barely hides its radical agenda behind a thin veneer of anti-racism rhetoric. “Say Her Name” is only slightly more palatable as a movement “meant to include women in the national conversation about race and policing,” according to National Public Radio.
Loeffler keenly pointed out BLM’s problematic agenda and expressed her concerns about the changes in a letter to Engelbert, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, which obtained the document.

“The truth is, we need less — not more politics in sports,” Loeffler wrote. “In a time when polarizing politics is as divisive as ever, sports has the power to be a unifying antidote,” she said.
“And now more than ever, we should be united in our goal to remove politics from sports,” the senator said in a common-sense statement.
Loeffler followed up with a tweet Tuesday saying the WNBA “should stand for and unite around the American Flag — not divisive political movements like BLM that unapologetically seek to defund the police.”

The “cancel culture” opportunists immediately descended on Loeffler for rightly giving preference to a national symbol of unity rather than the words of a leftist political movement, with the WNBA players union explicitly calling for her ouster.
“E-N-O-U-G-H! O-U-T!” the Women’s National Basketball Players Association account brazenly tweeted Tuesday.
The leftist Twitter mob replied with its usual vitriol in support of the players association and opposition to Loeffler and the flag.

How she say no politics in sports but in the same breath say put American flags on the uniforms???? Makes no sense — Fresco (@Tyreeeeee) July 7, 2020
I would love if #TylerPerry, #TI, #KillerMike and other celebrities buy the WNBA team from the racist cross-eyed #GOPBarbieDoll Loeffler. She doesn’t need to be an owner of a majority black WNBA team in Atlanta. I hope the WNBA players sit out this season. #BlackLivesMatter — Shawn #BlackTechieLivesMatter (@ShawnVee07) July 7, 2020
Loeffler needs to sell her stake in the team. If not, player mutiny…. — Kevin D (@freekev22) July 8, 2020
Despite the outrage, Loeffler was undeterred as she doubled down on the message and charged head-on against accusations of bigotry in a later tweet.
“I’m calling for unity around the American flag — the ultimate symbol of freedom,” the senator wrote Wednesday.
“I’m calling for rejection of a movement that promotes violence, attacks police, & embraces anti-Semitism,” she continued, calling out BLM for its destructive agenda.
“Who’s really on the wrong side of history, @ReverendWarnock? Sounds like it’s you,” she wrote, addressing an Atlanta pastor, Raphael Warnock, who said she had “chosen to give into the narrow impulses of tribalism and bigotry.”

Loeffler’s recommendation that American sports leagues stick to emblems that represent the nation should not be a point of contention, but common sense has been unseated by screwball left-wing race theory.
Despite the fact that many in the media espouse radical anti-American ideals and lavish praise on all sympathetic to their cause, most Americans would likely agree with Loeffler as they simply desire to enjoy athletic competition rather than endure vitriol and indoctrination.
Unfortunately, after weeks of protest and cultural upheaval following the May 25 death of George Floyd in police custody, players and league owners in many sports have decided Colin Kaepernick’s brand of flagrant political division is preferable to dignified mainstream patriotism.
Do you agree with Sen. Kelly Loeffler that the American flag is a better symbol for players' uniforms than "Black Lives Matter"? Yes No

BLM has solidified opposition to American symbols as a way to deepen the racial divide for its own purposes, and the WNBA has apparently adopted the language of the extremist movement, further alienating half of the country at a time when the foundering league needs all the fans it can get.
The American flag, which used to unify citizens of every political stripe, has instead become another casualty of pusillanimous politicians and business owners kowtowing to the radical left as it steamrolls over everything great about the nation in its path.
For today, Loeffler continues to bravely bear the brunt of the “cancel culture” while leftists root for another voice to be silenced.
Those who are calling for Loeffler’s ouster for her patriotic opinion should take a break from burning flags and toppling statues to heed the warning from history: Every revolution eventually eats its own.

Ana Kincart, 36, from Boone County, Kentucky, was on her way to work Monday morning when she spotted a Chevy Camaro that had been involved in an accident.
Being the kind and concerned nurse that she was, she stopped to investigate. The 24-year-old driver, Brandon Hicks, was not seriously injured, but Kincart decided to stay and give a statement to the police.

NFL Hall of Famer Claims Louis Farrakhan Isn’t Anti-Semitic – Apparently He Missed These Farrakhan Quotes

NFL Hall of Famer and Fox Sports commentator Shannon Sharpe defended a well-known anti-Semite on Wednesday .
Sharpe and his “ Undisputed ” co-host , Skip Bayless , discussed the rhetoric of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan after Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson posted a series of anti-Semitic messages earlier this week .
When Bayless pointed out Farrakhan ’ s history of anti-Semitism , Sharpe defended the Nation of Islam leader .
“ He has made it pretty clear over the years he does not like Jewish people .
Is that fair to say ?
” Skip Bayless @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the conversations that I ’ ve had with the minister , ” Sharpe responded .
TRENDING : Punk Threatening Group of Cops Does n't Sound So Tough When They Call His Bluff “ He ’ s made it clear to anybody that sat down with him , he says he doesn ’ t. ” Whether Sharpe agrees or not , Louis Farrakhan does have a long history of seriously anti-Semitic quotes .
The Anti-Defamation League describes Farrakhan as “ quite possibly America ’ s most popular anti-Semite.
” In an article outlining @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ADL lists a series of inflammatory quotes that Farrakhan has said regarding the Jewish people .
He often describes Jewish people as “ satanic.
” “ You and I are going to have to learn to distinguish between the righteous Jew and the satanic Jews who have infected the whole world with poison and deceit , ” Farrakhan said at a Chicago mosque in 2018 .
“ Satan is going down .
Farrakhan has pulled the cover of the eyes of the satanic Jew , and I ’ m here to say your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through .
You good Jews better separate because the satanic ones will take you to hell with them because that ’ s where they are headed , ” the Nation of Islam leader said .
One anti-Semitic trope is the belief that a secret society of powerful , wealthy Jews runs the world for its own insidious purposes .
Farrakhan ascribes to that belief .
“ I don ’ t care what they put on me .
The government is my enemy , the powerful Jews are my enemy , ” he said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you know that Jesus had a real problem with the Jewish community ?
They had power , the rabbis of that day , over the Roman authorities just as they have power today over our government , ” the minister said in Indianapolis in 2013 .
