On November 14, 1965, American soldiers engaged communist North Vietnamese forces in the Battle of Ia Drang.
On this day, we remember that freedom from communism carries a profound human cost. We will never forget the heroes who fought for liberty in Vietnam.
🚨 NOW: Sec. Marco Rubio just dropped this chilling line on if President Trump did NOT stop Iran from getting a nuke
"They have killed tens and tens of thousands of their OWN people, slaughtered them in the streets. Then when you're injured they go in the hospitals and they kill you in your hospital bed — and oftentimes they will also kill the doctors and the nurses who treated you." 💔
"That's what they do to their own people — imagine what they would do to US if they had a nuclear weapon."
Obama sent the regime PALLETS OF CASH. Trump sent B-2s.
Shia clerics must never be allowed near a nuke!
This is U.S. Army SFC Matthew McClintock
He was on his third tour when he was KIA on January 5, 2016, in Afghanistan while he was trying to secure a Medevac landing zone to evacuate a fellow soldier. He was posthumously awarded the Silver Star, the nation's third-highest award for valor for his heroic actions during the hours-long firefight.
He is a true American hero who stood up to protect his state and nation.
Poland’s Fabian Bzdyl doubles down on his new “Crown for Jesus” goal celebration after scoring in yesterday’s game against Germany’s U20 national team.
He’s now positing pictures of it on his Instagram too.
The goal celebration is interpreted as support for Germany’s and Dortmund’s midfielder Felix Nmecha who has been banned by his club from performing the Christian goal celebration after left-wing activists pressured the club for the goal celebration’s ties to the growing organization “Ballers for Jesus.”
The left-wing activists say that the traditional views of Ballers for Jesus on gender, sexuality and marriage are unacceptable
Germany coach Jürgen Klopp has confirmed that the Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha will no longer perform the “Crown for Jesus” goal celebration due to pressure from left-wing activists and the club.
Nmecha had done the gesture (miming taking a crown off his head and placing it on the ground while kneeling) after scoring both goals in Dortmund’s 2-1 win over Elversberg.
It was linked to the “The King’s Return” campaign associated with the Christian footballers’ network Ballers in God.
Klopp said he confronted Nmecha about how the gesture was being interpreted (left-wing activists consider Ballers in God as a hate group due to its traditional views on gender, sexuality and marriage).
The Borussia Dortmund president Hans-Joachim Watzke had earlier told Nmecha to stop the celebration.
He announced this at a meeting of the club’s Fan- und Förderabteilung (fan and support department), which had criticized the gesture and the group for positions it saw as conflicting with the club’s values on diversity and tolerance.
The club also:
- Distanced itself from Ballers in God.
- Decided the group should no longer promote current BVB players on its channels.
- Indicated that legal steps would be considered if the group continues using BVB players for promotion.
