School Bans U.S. Flag From Football Game Because It Might Offend Hispanic Students
by Shifra on August 29, 2016The principal probably voted for Obama…twice. Via Eag News. School officials’ decision to ban students from displaying the American Flag at a recent football game is creating controversy in a South Carolina school district. On Friday, Travelers Rest High School principal Lou Lavely banned students from carrying American flags into a football game against Berega High School, because a lot of students at Berega are Hispanic.

I am writing to assure that any decisions made regarding American flags being permitted into the game were made in the best interests...

Video: 12 Year Old Black Seventh Grader Applauds Rudy Giuliani, Slams POTUS
by Shifra on February 23, 2015This is why we should be hopeful about the future of the U.S.A. And here’s hoping we will be hearing a lot more from C.J. Pearson. Via The American Mirror: Watch: Black middle schooler slams Barack Obama in epic YouTube speech “Here’s the truth of the matter: I don’t want to be politically correct. I don’t care about being politically correct at this point. “President Obama, You don’t love America. If you really did love America, you would call ISIS what it really is: an assault on Christianity, an assault on America and downright hate for the American values that our country holds. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion and every single thing that our country stands for.” He adds,...

How Much Government?
by Maynard on December 4, 2014I'm bumping this old 4th-of-July post because of its fundamental relevancy to the Eric Garner case. Aside from the immediate questions of ascertaining blame for a man's death, it's worth asking why this micro-industry of selling cigarettes even exists, and the appropriateness of the regulatory structures that are backed up by police enforcement.

Reflections on the Carr vs. Alexander Tennessee Race
by Rob_W on August 11, 2014**Bumped Up From TAM Wire. Posted By Rob_W** While the election results were heartbreaking, there is much to be encouraged, and yes, even energized about. We did not win, but we are winning. Senator Lamar Alexander did not run away with this election, as most predicted he would. He was forced to buy the election, spending $7 million. He resorted to last minute robo-calls in which he falsely claimed his vote for Senate Bill 744 was a vote against amnesty. In spite of all of this, he could only capture 49.7% of the vote. The award for the tackiest campaign commercial goes to Mike Huckabee, who had nerve to lecture Tennesseans on being loyal to Alexander and threaten us by...
