Eagles Cancel Events for DC Kids, The Reason Why Is Infuriating
Not cool. Not cool at all.


When it comes to disagreements with your fellow man, there’s often a right way and a wrong way to handle things. For example, punching your neighbor’s lights out for failing to come to your block party is not the right way to handle the situation.
Instead, a calm, polite discussion geared toward getting to the root of the lack of attendance and assuring that you yourself did nothing to contribute to the matter is a sure fire way to solve the problem and preserve the friendship.
Another glaring example of how not to handle conflict is what the Philadelphia Eagles decided to do after being disinvited to the White House by President Trump.

They decided to cancel events they were to hold for DC area children. Not cool.

Tom Joyce sums up nicely why this is a horrifically stupid move on behalf of the Eagles:
There is a major problem here. The player’s union decided they were not going to give back to impoverished children in Washington, D.C., just because of their dispute over the national anthem with Trump.
That’s an immature move by the union; they are taking out their frustrations on children who have nothing to do with the feud. If the players wanted to give back, as the statement reads, then they could still give back. In fact, with the White House celebration canceled, they have even more time to give back. There is no law that says they have to meet with the president in order to give back to the community in which he resides.
Plus, if these players truly cared about helping the black community, working with children in a city like Washington, D.C., which is nearly half African-American, would be a perfect opportunity.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when you over-politicize things and turn everything into some sort of crusade for moral righteousness, which conveniently lines up with your own personal worldview rather than what equals true righteousness, i.e., the Word of God.
If the Eagles want to be viewed as a team with class, they better look into changing their behavior and learning how to leave politics out of their work.

Russia Completely Censors Navalny News After USA Issues Threat
Is Putin hiding Navalny to avoid further condemnation from the US?


As Vladimir Putin continues to work up his reputation as the world’s most despicable and despotic leader, it appears as though he does have some jitters when it comes to dealing with the mighty USA. Over the course of the last several weeks, the two superpowers have exchanged a number of insults and threats, centered around any number of issues – all of which are of Putin’s own doing. First, US President Joe Biden went ahead and told the world that he believed Putin to be “a killer” – a statement that reportedly irked Putin to no end. And then there were the hack attacks against the United States that saw Biden slap a number of hefty sanctions on Moscow. Now, as anti-Putin journalist Alexei Navalny continues a slow and agonizing march toward death at a Russian prison camp hospital, Biden and the US government have warned Putin that his demise could brings a world of pain to the Kremlin. This has pushed Putin to enact a total blackout of news on Navalny’s condition. Russian state TV has imposed a virtual blackout on coverage on Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny amid claims he could die at “any minute” in a prison hospital. The imprisoned 44-year-old, a prominent critic of President Vladimir Putin, has been on hunger strike and there are planned protests in 77 cities as a show of support. The protests on Wednesday will coincide with Vladimir Putin’s key annual state of the nation address to parliament. The Russian Government have said the protests are illegal. Putin and Biden had briefly considered a summit meeting to discuss this latest dissonance, but there is no telling where those negations stand after this latest malfeasance by the Russian government.
