When I went to bed last night I could had swore I was living in America. When I woke up and turned on the news I had second thoughts.
DES MOINES, Iowa -- The Valley High School-Des Moines North State Tournament game was one for the ages. "They played hard," said Morgan Wheat, an assistant coach at Des Moines North. "We had a chance to win at the end. Hats off to Valley, they made more plays."
Valley students had chosen to wear red, white and blue instead of their school colors black and orange. The Polars team is filled with players who come from refugee families. Team members and fans took offence to the wearing of the Red White and Blue.
Thursday Valley High School's Student Leadership members provided that answer by hand delivering this letter to Des Moines North.
To the Students and Staff of North High School:
It has been brought to our attention that the decision by the Valley High School student section to wear U.S.A. apparel at our game last night was offensive to members of your community and fan base. We are deeply sorry if we have offended anyone in any way. We have traditionally dressed in such a fashion for great games such as the one last night. Everyone here at Valley has immense respect not only for your team and players but for your community as a whole. Please know that our intent was in no way to offend or demean—just to support our own team in a way we have done before.
Congratulations on a wonderful season and we wish you nothing but the best of luck in the future.
Sincerely,
Valley High School Student Council Leadership

Trump Pushes to Create More Global Refugees
'Bomb the Sh*t Out Of Them!' - Trump Drones Yemen More in One Week Than Obama in a Year
By Daniel McAdams
March 10, 2017
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/46634.htm
Undeterred by the disastrous commando raid on Yemen in the first days of his Administration, where plenty of civilians were killed but the target got away, President Donald Trump has escalated US military involvement in the tragic Yemen conflict to an unprecedented level. In fact as Foreign Policy reports, the US President has bombed Yemen more in the past week than President Obama (no peacenik) has bombed in a year.
But although the US escalation in Yemen is sold back home as another aggressive front in the war against al-Qaeda, in fact US operations in Yemen are actually helping al-Qaeda as well as its chief sponsor, Saudi Arabia.
The problem is that because his advisors are increasingly drawn from the neocon camp, the advice he is given is filtered through the "noble lie" that the neocons view as the central tenet of their faith. Thus even though the main enemies of al-Qaeda in Yemen are the Houthis, because Trump has been sold the neocon lie that the Houthis are Iranian proxies Trump is droning Yemen back to the stone age to the advantage of al-Qaeda and Saudi Arabia, who are on the same side.
While it is arguable that the President has authority under the authorization for the use of military force against those attacked us on 9/11 to attack al-Qaeda in Yemen, very few would argue that such authorization extends to actually helping al-Qaeda in Yemen.
Meanwhile, US drone attacks are killing civilians in Yemen and contributing to the genocide of the Yemeni people whose only crime is to have rejected a president who ran unopposed -- a US-backed "Arab Spring" candidate -- and who immediately approved US drone strikes on his own country.
The Trump State Department is going all in. A sale of anti-Houthi weapons to Saudi Arabia that even the Obama administration rejected was hastily approved by the new Administration and soon will be deployed in Saudi Arabia's war of aggression against its neighbor.
The Trump Administration is doubling down on all of President Obama's mistakes. Siding with al-Qaeda in Yemen on the false notion that it is fighting a proxy war against Iran.

No kidding, if anyone should be offended by this story they should be offended that the other team had a problem seeing red, white, and blue. If those "refugees' don't like the red, white and blue then scurry on back to the wonderful country you left. F**king ingrates.

It is completely insane.
The person who wrote that letter should be disciplined.
And those who complained can take their stupid, ignorant, whiney little asses and go back to where they came from.
Obama and his evil regime cultivated this "new environment "within our schools .
Unfortunately the after effects of his "transformation of America has caused severe damaged.
Not hard to do when most people are just flat out clueless and stupid.
For Sharia Law , press one.
Baby steps...then ...

The school should change the team colors to red,white,blue, permanently.
If they do it for every game, then the other team can't complain.

I don't understand the emotional outrage, perhaps I should.
I do remember time and time ago seeing an article of a homeless man who lay dead for 20 some hours with no pants on, as passerby's took cell pics of him until finally police intervened.
More recently another homeless man has been found dead on an area of subway in New York by maintenance workers.
Is this still America? Outrageous! seriously outrageous.

One school dresses in Red White and Blue and gets beaten up over it. Another school wants a Marxist themed prom and the School's staff says OK.

That which is right is wrong, and that which is wrong is right.
Sad times.
