In January of 2022, we were informed the video violated their “community standards” and they demanded it be deleted. We went through their formal dispute process and this is the one time we lost.

We managed to rip the video from the Creator platform, albeit the resolution was greatly reduced.

Watch for yourself and ask if this video compilation was informative regarding Muslim treatment of our canine friends or “Islamophobia”.

As the parents of wonderful dogs over the years, this is horrifying and sadly common practice in certain parts of the world.

And then there’s New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

BTW — Those “grab-and-go meals” were originally intended for school kids whose parents had issues feeding them. Mayor de Blasio saw fit to open it up for all and mentioned one group in particular. Later, he singled out another group….

Some people are encouraged to move about freely in New York City while others are warned against it under threat of arrest.

It appears Mayor de Blasio needed a few hours to compose himself between Tweets and addressed his previous messaging during a subsequent presser.

I regret if the way I say it in any way gave people a feeling of being treated the wrong way — it was not my intention. It was said with love, but it was tough love.
— Mayor Bill de Blasio, 4/29/20

Wow. “Tough love” is a parental tactic reserved for children, Mr. Mayor.

So much for that expectation of not playing favorites.

Colin Kaepernick’s girlfriend, Nessa, is among those who believe the NFL is intentionally keeping the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback out of the league. She wasn’t the only one to insinuate as much, as former NFL player Charles Woodson told TMZ, “There’s a lot of guys that are in the conversation to be picked up. We know the reason [Kaepernick is] not one of those guys … but he should be.“

TMZ also noted former cornerback Antonio Cromartie suggested Kaepernick is better than the list of quarterbacks Washington brought in to work out after Alex Smith suffered an injury in Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans.

So inconvenient for Nessa, but Kaepernick may have been playing on an NFL field today had it not been for her opportunist “activist” big mouth… and more.

Of course, the media and the activist left will never admit that Nessa’s direct interference in the Baltimore Ravens deal is THE reason Colin Kaepernick is not throwing footballs on an NFL field for an NFL team today.

As the entire world knows by now, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the National Anthem in Friday’s pre-season game against Green Bay because he was protesting ‘black oppression’ in the United States. We’re now hearing that it was actually his girlfriend Nessa’s idea for Colin to protest.

Fox News also looked into the couple and found evidence that seems to show that his “conversion to social activism” happened only after he began dating his girlfriend, DJ Nessa Diab. Her social media account has plenty of photos and posts related to her job as a DJ but it also shows her stance as a black rights activist and Islam defender.

As written before, NFL teams are businesses and their main goal is to win as many football games as possible; not absorb those who have an unrelated off-the-field agenda. Calling a team owner racist with nothing to back it up is also in that things-not-to-do list; especially when your previous on-the-field record was questionable at best.

Especially coming from a girlfriend who may just up and leave her boyfriend once someone of a higher profile and value is available.

As usual, they consider their views superior and deem it their duty to get in the faces of others, even when it may not be appropriate. ESPN is paying a financial price but instead of respecting the American sports-viewing audience, they’ll probably find a reason to double down until WE get our minds right.

In the last two months, ESPN has lost 1,176,000 subscribers, a subscriber loss nearly the size of the city of Dallas, Texas. In 2013, a mere three years ago, ESPN had 99 million subscribers. That’s right, in the last three years, ESPN lost somewhere in the neighborhood of ten million subscribers, the rough equivalent of the combined populations of New York City and Phoenix.

ESPN’s slate of uber-opinionated, radically leftist programs such as Around the Horn, First Take, Pardon the Interruption, His & Hers, and others all appear on ESPN or ESPN2, the channels which have seen the greatest decline.

When Rush Limbaugh said what many outside of Philadelphia thought of Donovan McNabb and why he was given more slack than other NFL quarterbacks, he was let go. Curt Schilling said almost the same thing about RGIII and with the same result. ESPN produces programming that not only celebrates the accomplishment of athletes, but how we should feel about social issues we just may not want to deal with when we’re taking our escapist, sports time-out.
