Our city canceled everything.
I think President Trump would fit nicely there.
Student Who Questioned BLM is ‘No Longer Enrolled’ at University After Outcry
A female student at Hardin Simmons University in Texas, a Christian school, was subjected to disciplinary measures after making some TikTok videos about Black Lives Matter.
The school president recently explained in a video that she is no longer enrolled at the university
We can’t share the student’s videos because they have been scrubbed from social media, but she basically questioned why an emphasis is placed on certain crimes based on the race of the people involved.
According to Campus Reform, Ashleigh Brock — a former student at Hardin Simmons University in Abilene, Texas — created several TikTok videos in which she reportedly questioned the validity of the Black Lives Matter movement.
In one video, the outlet notes, Brock argued that there is way more outrage when a white person kills a black person than when a black person kills a white person — or even when a black person kills a fellow black person.
In another video, Brock reportedly insists that “all lives matter” — not just black lives.
“Do black lives matter?” she allegedly can be heard asking. “Yes, of course. Do white lives matter? Yes, of course. But I’m not gonna sit here and put each one in a group saying this race matters.”
In the video below, Hardin Simmons University President Eric Bruntmyer explains the school’s response to this.
Transcript via Campus Reform:
“As citizens, we have certain rights of freedom of speech in public forums, like many of the social media platforms. However, within the HSU community, that right is always linked with a responsibility as Christians, as well as an inherent responsibility in the consequences of our words and our actions,” Bruntmyer stated in reference to Brock’s posts.
“Social media can be a powerful tool. Used in the wrong way, it can have detrimental consequences, Bruntmyer continued. “The views we express on social media should reflect the values and beliefs we uphold as followers of Christ. We must all use these platforms to build each other up and not tear each other down.”
“As Christians, we are called to love one another as Christ first loved us. We must hold one another accountable to this standard. Hate speech or racist comments are completely unacceptable. We do not want to condone behavior that questions people’s worth, their value, their dignity, or their equality,” Bruntmyer said.
I’m sorry, I didn’t see her posts, but if all she said was that basically all races are equal, I don’t see where that is not Christian. Are we just supposed to turn the other cheek?

The @nytimes is really mad, & liberals are freaking out. Once again, Trump didn’t fold and came punching back. They hate him for that, & for exposing how WEAK AND DUMB they are. In other words, @realDonaldTrump hit a home run. Thank you Mr. President for having our backs.

This funny and sad.
VIDEO: College Student Calls Police on Prager U. for Having the Wrong Opinion
This is as disturbing as it is funny. Will Witt of Prager University is on a college campus to speak to students, and one student who doesn’t like their point of view actually calls the police.
When the police show up, they’re completely baffled as to why they were called, and try to explain the concept of free speech to the misguided student.
Watch it all below:
How did we get to the point where people think opinions are against the law? A couple years ago I told my grandson, then 11 yo, that being a racist is not good, but it’s not against the law. To my surprise, he was shocked to hear that.

World records set at Nathan’s annual hot dog eating contest
Joey Chestnut and Miki Sudo still reign supreme

It’s good to know that with all the disruption COVID-19 has brought to the Fourth of July celebrations this year, something hasn’t changed.
Joey Chestnut and Miki Sudo still reign supreme when it comes to the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog-Eating Contest, which took place in Coney Island, N.Y.
Chestnut, 36, wolfed down a world record 75 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes to win the Mustard Yellow Belt for the 13th time in 14 years. His total topped his own record of 74, set in 2018, and marks his 1,000 career dog.
Sudo, 34, finished with 48 1/2 hot dogs. That figure broke the record for the most hot dogs eaten during the women’s event. Sudo’s previous personal record was 41 hot dogs.
The winners received $10,000 dollars and prize money.
The 2020 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest took place for the first time in an indoor arena without any fans to witness the live event.

Only in America could a working class black gay kid from Ohio:
Meet the President (four times!)
Travel the world speaking
AND appear on worldwide TV!
NEVER doubt we live in an exceptional country that values HARD WORK above all!

They know exactly what they have been taught by radical "educators"..
They know how to hate America.
Trump is on a twitter roll today.
I don’t see that she said anything wrong. We are having political correctness gone astray. Like Trump said we are now dealing with ugly fascism. And the left are the fascist.
Found him. They took him to Bloomington Meadows. He has a few records there probably a good choice.
And a Christian university is going along. For funding?
