The kneeling of Colin Kaepernick is not a type of protest that others employ to illuminate their grievances because our flag, our national anthem, our type of government and our freedoms represent what’s great about this country.

You don’t witness athletes sitting during the national anthem or turning their backs for other causes such as American jobs being outsourced due to global competition or from massive influxes of illegal immigrants. If they did protest the flag in this way, they would be labeled as xenophobic, racist and white supremacists who are filled with hate. They certainly wouldn't be viewed as brave souls standing up for displaced American families. Why is it that certain grievances are okay to protest in this fashion while others are not?

The Clinton News Network (CNN) and other Clinton supporters are trying to paint Donald Trump as the real “pay for play” villain because his foundation was fined $2500 by the IRS for donating funds to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi’s reelection campaign. This fine, however, was not for pay for play. Trump was penalized because it was not lawful for Trump’s non-profit foundation to donate funds to a political organization. Trump paid the fine and refunded the donated $25,000 back to his foundation.

Many people, like Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona, are not supporting Donald Trump because of Donald's harsh tone and word gaffes, which have plagued his campaign.  His would be supporters believe that if Trump had a more presidential temperament, he would appeal to a wider electorate with his rhetoric and be doing much better in this election.
