Symbols of American freedom matter. Don’t sell shoes with a Betsy Ross flag?  Why? Because African-American Kaepernick  finds the Ross flag symbol offensive and associated with slavery. Get real.
Does Kaepernick know anything about Betsy Ross? Anything about early American history?
Betsy Ross is a woman to admire not spurn.
Let’s compare 2019 ex- football player Colin Kaepernick with 1776 seamstress Betsy Ross:
Personal commitments to family?  Kaepernick has a girl friend [Nessa Diag] since 2015. He’s not married and no children. Betsy Ross was soon widowed after marrying at age 21 outside her Quaker faith which caused her to be ‘read out of the Quaker church’ for doing so.  She later married again and had children.
Professional skills?  Colin  Kaepernick was a second string quarter back who turned down a contract with the San Francico 49ers. He is a rich, civil rights agitator.
Betsy Ross was child number 8 of 17 children. Betsy  attended a Quaker school 8 hours a day to learn sewing, reading and writing. She became a skilled seamstress. Fairly soon after marriage to John Ross at age 21, Betsy’s husband died while he was guarding ammunition.
A few months after her husband’s death, Betsy met with the Committee of Three which included George Washington. This meeting lead to Betsy Ross’ sewing of the first American flag.
The Fake News Liberal Media claimed that  Attorney General Bill Barr’s father worked with Jeffrey Epstein as a school teacher and, therefore, AG Barr should recuse himself from the Epstein case. Of course, it’s just another liberal lie.
Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC was one of many in the fake news media who shared the following (at the 3:40 mark:
William Barr’s father hired Jeffrey Epstein to teach high school boys and high school girls even though Jeffrey Epstein is not even a college graduate. That is now and was then, unthinkable in a school like Dalton.
A year later William Barr’s father abruptly resigned from the Dalton School after the Board of Trustees decided to investigate the way that William Barr’s father was running that school. Not long after that Jeffrey Epstein left the school.
AG Bill Barr’s father couldn’t have worked with Epstein at Dalton School because he wasn’t even there when Epstein worked there. He resigned months earlier.

The word journalist has new meaning. Incompetent or liar or both defines Journalist.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) married her brother Elmi in 2009 – 2017,  possibly for immigration benefits.  Omar has 3 children by Hersi and married him in 2018. She filed taxes while legally married to someone else.
So who will Ms. Omar answer?  This representative, Ms. Omar, is not easy to contact. Ms. Omar has no FAX and her mail box  number (202) 225-4755 is full. So she cannot be contacted by FAX or phone right now.  Her snail mail address is 1517 Longsworth HUB, Washington D.C. 20515.
Ms. Omar accuses Trump of ‘keeping children in cages’ [at the southern border] and that illegal aliens are ‘forced to drink from toilets.’

Omar comes into the USA under false pretenses. Now she makes false accusations of others? Â
Omar gets into America based on gaming the system [marries her brother possibly to get immigration benefits].
Illan Omar gets elected to Congress  and falsely accuses Trump's administration of putting' children in cages' and 'forcing adults to drink out of toilets.'Â
Prison toilets are one piece entities wherein the water tank is above the seat. Yes, people in prison can drink from the top part of the toilet.
To: Ms Illan Omar:
1) show the public the 'cages' where children are kept? Yes VP Pence found extreme overcrowding of men which demonstrates the crises at the border.
2) answer the question whether you are communist and whether you support al Quida
3) You have failed to answer the following question asked by others: Did you receive immigration benefits while married to your brother Elmi?
4) Ms. Omar, Which do you hate most? a) USA b)Trump c) Israel
It appears that you hate all three.
5) Is 'hatred of others' -- zenophobia -- a part of the heritage of Mohammand and Islam? Yes it is, according to author Wafa Sultan who wrote A God who Hates.Take Away:
Muslim society and the Islam religion are vastly different from American society and freedoms based on the U.S. Constitution.
Muslims such as Ms. Omar come here for what they want and some, like Ms Omar, game the system to get in. And then some Muslims, including Ms. Omar, attack the country that offered assistance and entry.
Islam as practiced in much of the middle east is a political system which cannot be separated from it's religious component. That issue is something which the Supreme Court must deal with. Soon.
Some Muslims come here for their version of 'freedom of religion/ politics' and then seek to impose their version of Islamic religious/ political system here. Ms. Omar is one of those Muslims.
Congress woman Ms. Illan Omar shouts 'racism' while benefiting from the many freedoms which only the USA offers because of our Constitution.
Some progressive Democrats, which include Rep. Illan Omar, seek to undermine U.S. freedoms by imposition of their version of islamic/ sharia law/ zenophobia views.
Rep. Illan Omar accuses others of behavior she engages in: racism, zenophobia and hatred of that which differs from her views.
When will Illan Omar realize that people don't care about her color -- they do care about her views.

Whence the term?  ‘Women of color’ is a a self description which four women  representatives have taken to self promote their collective  image of themselves as victims.  They  view of themselves as victims of political oppression. Victims of racism.  They see themselves as oppressed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, by Trump administration policies and by various other entities.
The term ‘colored women’ would be offensive to ‘women of color’.  The term ‘colored persons’ has been used by various social justice activists to separate ‘whites’ [of European origin] from everyone else aka ‘colored persons’ [not of European origin].
Thus, according to some persons including these four ‘women of color’ ‘racism’ is built into the very fabric of America. These ‘women of color’ forget — or never learned – that the U.S. Constitution permits major league changes such that women and African-Americans vote and own property.
 It’s our Constitution which gives more freedoms to the individual, and protects those freedoms, than anywhere else in the world.
But why do these four ‘women of color’ take for themselves what belongs to all women in the USA?
We are all American women of color . Who doesn’t have ‘color’?  Get real.  Most every woman in America, except albinos, have some color to their skin.
USA women are different ‘tints’.  Some of us are darker, some lighter, some with warmer tones, some with more yellow pigment some more red.
Usage of color in the English language. It’s true that English  language describes various groups as having ‘color’. Examples: Historically we’ve described native Americans as having ‘red skins’ though they don’t have red skins.  Currently 9 out of 10 Native Americans support the use of Red Skins as a name for a football team.  In the 1940’s the term ‘yellow pearl’ referenced  fear of a Japanese invasion of the West coast after Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese.
English references ‘color ‘ in many ways pertinent both to individuals and groups of people.  The term ‘black heart’ references morbidity and sorrow.  “White hats’ and ‘black hats’ references  the good guys versus the bad guys. Tom Mix always wore a white hat  for example.
References to black and white in general goes back thousands of years. Take early Judeo-Christian religion. Light refers to what’s good and darkness refers more to evil and that which is bad. The Light of the World, a reference to Jesus Christ, references light as good.
How about black. Are blacks actually ‘black’? Not according to their DNA according to some research.  There’s research that one-third of all USA born Afro-American men have some ‘white’ DNA. Ms. Ayana Pressley, one of four ‘women of color’ whom Trump tweets recently (WSJ 7/15/19) is African-American.
What are these ‘women of color’ doing?
These four ‘women of color’ seek to connect their definition of ‘color’ with racism. The world out there is racist per their view and they as victims speak out against all that ‘racism’. Interestingly, they individually and collectively rail against Israel.
What do we know about these four:
Ms. Omar, the only one of the four born outside the U.S. came as a child from Somalia. Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is of Puerto Rican heritage. Ms. Tliab is Palestinian-American and Ms. Pressley is African-American.
What do they say?   Racism, racism everywhere and worst in America say these ‘women of color’.
Progressive Democrats and much of mainstream media beat the drums of racism as central and integral to the fabric of America.
They need to broaden their life experiences.  Let all these progressives  and liberals who are not liberal go live in Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, China and Russia for a couple years.
Then come back and discuss their experience of freedom in those countries compared to America.
These four ‘women of color’ whine. And then they dine on the American fruits of freedoms which come only from the U.S. Constitution.  Â
Inslee went on to say that he believed Rapinoe’s message was so inspiring to people because it was the “antithesis†of President Donald Trump’s foreign policies.
She and teammate Allie Long caught backlash immediately following their World Cup win when video showed them dropping an American flag on the ground while they posed for postage photos. Fellow USWNT member Kelley O’Hara quickly rushed in to grab the flag off the ground.

Further, Sen Hirono knows little about economic freedoms.  Now  we learn Hirono did not know what the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) was when asked by a reporter Thursday if she would be for moving forward with the replacement to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
The USMCA, a change from NAFTA, is a bipartisan trade agreement that some think could benefit America’s farmers, ranchers, businesses, and workers. Once approved by Congress, the USMCA is supposed to help longstanding trade problems by giving American businesses more freedom to sell their goods and services throughout North America.
When asked by a reporter if she thinks Pelosi should bring up the USMCA, Hirono responded by saying “the what?†The reporter asked again, if Pelosi should bring up the USMCA for a vote in the House, to which Hirono responded again by asking “the USMCA?â€
One of her staffers then cut in, and said to Hirono, “the new NAFTA.†Hirono paused for a while and then said, “I have to think about that.â€
How much does a cup of water cost in Aptos, CA?  About 75 cents for the cup.
Sno-White Drive In now  charges about $.75 for a paper cup that costs .07 cents.  Sno-White charges about 10 times what the cup costs. This is a new charge.
Someone recently bought a breakfast sandwich ($3.50) and also asked for a half cup of water.
The customer gave Sno-White  a $5.oo bill and was given back a quarter, a nickel and a few pennies. As the breakfast sandwich costs $3.50 the additional charge for the paper cup was about $.75.
Asked ‘why charge for water?’ the reply from the cook/ owner was ‘I charge for the cup’.
So, what do paper cups cost? About 7 cents.
You can buy 1,000 hot/cold paper cups (12 oz) on Amazon for $69.85 with no charge for shipping. Â
Sno-White Drive In in Aptos, CA has good ‘burgers. It’s located near the entrance to Seacliff State Beach. Â
Charging 10 times the cost for a paper cup is not good public relations. When a customer wants a cup of water — let them have it for free. That’s good PR. Â
Per The Santa Cruz Sentinel 7/12/2019 Santa Cruz County eyes sweeping plastic prohibitions. Also under consideration is a fee for disposable cups — similiar to the statewide 10 cent fee for grocery bags — and a requirement that all businesses provide recycling bins for their customers.
Symbols of American freedom matter. Don’t sell shoes with a Betsy Ross flag?  Why? Because African-American Kaepernick  finds the Ross flag symbol offensive and associated with slavery. Get real.
