It’s that very special, rainbow-licious time that only comes along once every four years. It’s Gay Pride month during an election year, the Democrat spin is in overdrive and the pandering is well underway. The Democrat party, the self-appointed saviors and protectors of yet another demographic, the LGBT community. No thank you and I’ll tell you why. Ryan L. Fox
In 2016, Colin Kaepernick, an African American quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, made national headlines all over the USA when he began to kneel during the national anthem to protest the abuse of African Americans at the hands of law enforcement. Following that season, he opted out of his contract with the 49ers and has been out of football since then while continuing to continue his protesting. Some believe that he was not able to play since then because NFL owners were blackballing Kaepernick. Fast forward to 2020 after the George Floyd protests as the NFL came forward to say that they were wrong in how they handled the silent protesting in 2016 and 2017 by NFL players and would be more than willing to work with minority groups to end systematic racism. While Kaepernick’s name has reappeared in sports headlines, there is some buzz being generated about the possibility of him making a comeback in the 2020 season. Mark Colley
These are tense times. The past six months have provided enough news to fuel Twitter for years, if not decades, and 2020 keeps getting wilder as it continues. Who would have thought that a global pandemic would be below-the-fold news because tens of millions of people across the world are invoking comparisons to the 1960s Civil Rights movement? Yeah, not me. It’s in this razor-sharp environment that the New York Times stepped into the fray last week, publishing an op-ed from Arkansas senator Tom Cotton entitled, “Send In The Troops.” “One thing above all else will restore order to our streets: an overwhelming show of force to disperse, detain and ultimately deter lawbreakers,” Cotton wrote. “But local law enforcement in some cities desperately needs backup, while delusional politicians in other cities refuse to do what’s necessary to uphold the rule of law.” Instant and near-unanimous revolt met the piece upon its publication, with dozens of the Times’ own reporters tweeting, “Running this puts Black @NYTimes staff in danger.” photo courtesy necn.com Allan Giberti
A peaceful Black Lives Matters protest drew a crowd of thousands to the Rhode Island State House on Friday evening. We even had a special cameo by Governor Gina Raimondo herself and after addressing the protesters, she then proceeded to hold hands with them and pray. The protest ended and dispersed shortly after the mandated curfew time of 9pm but some of the protesters then proceeded to lead a peaceful march to the west end of Providence and ending back in the city at Kennedy Plaza. |
