The Common Veterans are all United States Military Veterans. Pride in the country is pride in their service because they were willing to write a blank check to include up to their lives. The life of a Veteran often revolves around their service and how much they love their country.

The great irony is that a billionaire will do what a communist wants him to do in order to keep making money.
It’s not just China responsible for Cuban doing the bidding of communists. This is a long strategy employed by communists do destroy America, and Cuban is happy to do it. Even if he doesn’t realize he’s their puppet.
Cleon Skousen’s “The Naked Communist” listed the 45 communist goals that the US had identified as a way to destabilize and change the United States from a free capitalist country to a socialist one. I was the first person in mass media to tell his audience about this many years ago.

Yesterday, if Commissioner Roger Goodellpossessed more awareness, he, too, would have wept. After hundreds of players took a knee or took a pass on “The Star Spangled Banner,” hundreds of thousands of fans took a knee on Sunday football. Many of those viewers never return.
In metered market numbers, the primetime matchup that saw the Washington Redskins beat the Oakland Raiders 27-10 snared an 11.6/20, the worst SNF has performed this season so far. It’s an 8% dip from the early numbers of last week’s game, Atlanta’s 34-23 win over Green Bay. Amid cheers and boos from fans at FedEx Field in Maryland last night, the third week of the SNF season declined 10% from early numbers of the comparable game of last year on September 25, 2016.
Villanueva, who stood alone while “The Star-Spangled Banner” was being played Sunday in Chicago, currently has the #1 selling jersey on the NFL’s web store, ahead of top players including Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Derek Carr.
Villanueva, a Steelers offensive tackle and Army veteran with three tours in the Middle East, was the only Steelers player to come out for the playing of the national anthem on Sunday:
