What Regressives Don’t Want You To Know About The Betsy Ross Flag

Colin Kaepernick kicked up a massive dust storm by complaining when Nike put the Betsy Ross flag on the heel of a shoe. You’d have thought by the hue and cry from the regressive left that they had used the Nazi swastika. Nike means “Victory” in Greek. It is supposed to symbolize masculine strength, a […]

The Worst Roller Coaster

I hate roller coasters.
