California Catholic Middle School Bars Student’s “MAGA -Styled” Patriotic Speech (Video)

California Catholic Middle School Bars Student’s “MAGA -Styled” Patriotic Speech (Video)

 

The parents of a middle school student at St. Bonaventure Catholic School in Huntington Beach, California, allege that school principal Mary Flock would not let their student read his patriot speech.

Jimmy Heyward was set to deliver the speech at a forum for candidates for “Commissioner of School Spirit and Patriotism.”

His mother shared the details on a Change.org petition that is calling for Flock’s resignation.

According to the petition, Jimmy patterned his campaign around  Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan.

“The Principal, Mary Flock, told him he needed to make changes to his speech,” the mother wrote. “She wanted everything in his speech regarding patriotism to be removed, even though ‘Patriotism’ was a part of the position’s title that he was running for. Ms Flock said that if he did not remove ALL parts about patriotism, he would not be able to read his speech with the rest of the candidates.”

In his speech, Jimmy shares his love for America and how it is “an honor” to live in the United States.

“I can promise to make pep rallies great again,” he concluded. “I will make the school spirit great again. I will make patriotism within SBS great again. And mostly, I will make SBS great again.”

The mother continued, “Jimmy stood up to her and said he wasn’t going to take the parts about patriotism out of his speech.  [Mrs. Flock] then told him he would not be speaking. Jimmy sat on stage with all the other candidates while they said their speeches.”

According to his mother, when Jimmy refused to alter his speech,  the principal “directed the kids hosting the rally to skip Jimmy entirely,” and her son “was on the stage for an hour in front of his peers/teachers/parents being completely humiliated by Mary Flock.”

When Jimmy’s father expressed his concern with the decision, school administrators told him to leave or they would call someone to make him leave.

The principal then proceeded to call the police, who, after hearing the story, told him he was free to stay and watch the rest of the event.

Jimmy’s parents are calling for Flock to step down through the Change.org petition. The petition had a goal of 1,500 signatures and has reached over 6,000.

And while Ms. Flock hoped to keep people from hearing Jimmy’s speech, it has more than four million views on X.

After news of Ms. Flock’s decision went viral, she briefly deleted her account on X.

UPDATE: The principal Mary Flock deleted her X account. There’s also now a petition to remove her from her position as principal. https://t.co/VYiFQ6RUIs pic.twitter.com/7rNShg90pk

Once she reinstated her account, she blocked Libs of TikTok, who shared her questionable decision.

UPDATE: The principal reinstated her account, changed her username, and blocked me. Almost like how she blocked a little kid from giving a patriotic speech. pic.twitter.com/CFgQ1fYnzy

Judge Merchan SCREAMS at Trump Lawyer Todd Blanche When He Makes Quip About Bragg’s Prosecutors Wanting to Send Trump to Prison

Judge Merchan SCREAMS at Trump Lawyer Todd Blanche When He Makes Quip About Bragg’s Prosecutors Wanting to Send Trump to Prison

 

President Trump was back in court on Tuesday morning for closing arguments in Alvin Bragg’s ‘hush money’ show trial in New York City.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted Trump in April 2023 on 34 felony counts related to ‘hush payments’ he made to Stormy Daniels.

Trump was accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.

Alvin Bragg didn’t explain what exactly he wanted to convict Trump of in the charging documents. Bragg still has not clearly stated the predicate crimes. But it doesn’t matter. The court is ready to find Trump guilty and send him to prison.

Judge Merchan made it easier for the jury to convict Trump when he sided with Bragg’s prosecutors and ruled the jury does NOT need to unanimously agree on the “predicate” crime Trump committed.

TGP contributor Paul Ingrassia is inside of the Manhattan courthouse live reporting.

President Trump’s lawyers eviscerated Trump’s lawyer-turned-rat Michael Cohen during Tuesday’s closing arguments.

Judge Merchan made sure to let the jurors know who is in charge of the sham trial.

Per Paul Ingrassia: Judge Merchan tells the jurors that “nothing the lawyers said is evidence” and “nothing said during the summations is evidence.”

Merchan: You and you alone are the judges of the facts of this case.

Merchan: I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR EXPLAINING THE LAW, NOT THE LAWYERS. YOUR SWORN DUTY AS JURORS IS TO FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS ON THE LAW, AS YOU PROMISED ME THAT YOU WOULD.

Alvin Bragg’s prosecutors fumed after Trump’s lawyer Todd Blanche said Trump shouldn’t be sent to prison over a non-crime.

Judge Merchan became irate that Todd Blanche made a quip about Bragg’s prosecutors wanting to sentence Trump to prison.

Coming from the same guy who has repeatedly threatened to put Trump in jail for gag order violations.

Merchan is IRATE now that Blanche made a quip about the Prosecution wanting to sentence President Trump!

Merchan: Let me hear your comment about prison.

Blanche: (Inaudible)

Merchan: I think that statement was outrageous Mr. Blanche. A comment like that is highly inappropriate… https://t.co/5KEU3Qs7f4

Judge Merchan screamed at Todd Blanche at the top of his lungs: “YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO MAKE A STATEMENT LIKE THAT IN MY COURTROOM!”

BREAKING: Let me get this straight: so it’s fine for Merchan to threaten to toss Trump in jail every single day for violating his ridiculous gag order, but when Blanche makes reference to Trump going to jail, he enters into a nervous meltdown, admonishes Blanche, and screams at…

Shock Poll: Trump Takes Lead Over Biden Among Black Voters

Shock Poll: Trump Takes Lead Over Biden Among Black Voters

 

Outlier or trend predictor? Mark Mitchell with Rasmussen Reports revealed initial results of a recent poll (yet to be published) that shows President Trump leading Joe Biden among Black voters in both head-to-head and five-way matchups. Mitchell told Steve Bannon on the War Room Tuesday morning that Trump leads Biden by one point, 39 percent to 38 percent in a one-on-one matchup. Trump takes an astonishing lead of 43 percent to 31 percent in a five-way matchup with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr garnering 12 percent support among Black Voters.

Mitchell said the questions were asked as part of a monthly immigration survey sponsored by NumbersUSA. The previous survey had Biden leading Trump among Black voters 61 percent to 21 percent. Mitchell noted that subset polling can be off and that the numbers could swing the other way next month. Last month’s Rasmussen numbers were matched by a recent New York Times/Siena College poll that showed Biden leading Trump 66 percent to 23 percent among Black voters, a substantial improvement from the 2020 election where Biden topped Trump among Black voters 87 percent to 12 percent.

Mitchell also said that among 18 to 39 year-olds, Trump leads Biden by 3 points in a two-way, five points in a five-way matchup without giving specifics.

The Biden campaign has been acting like they are hemorrhaging Black support this month, trying to scare Black voters away from Trump with sharp attacks against Trump and Biden’s graduation speech at Morehouse College in Atlanta where he painted a picture of a racist America to the Black male graduates of the venerable HBCU:

A video released last week by the Biden campaign on the day of Trump’s rally in the Bronx falsely smeared Trump as a racist:

Interviews at the Bronx rally show Black and Hispanic voters having the same concerns as other groups about conditions in the U.S. and how things were better under Trump:

They don’t care that Democrats smear him unfairly as a racist. They care about his policies. The pocketbook issues are driving them to the polls. pic.twitter.com/fkPBvnuCAd

Popular NJ Boardwalk Shut Down and State of Emergency Declared Over Hordes of ‘Unruly, Undisciplined’ Teens on Memorial Day

Popular NJ Boardwalk Shut Down and State of Emergency Declared Over Hordes of ‘Unruly, Undisciplined’ Teens on Memorial Day

 

A popular New Jersey boardwalk was temporarily shut down, and a state of emergency was declared over hordes of “unruly, undisciplined” teens causing chaos on Memorial Day.

The boardwalk in the shore town of Wildwood was closed just after midnight after police received an “irrepressible number” of complaints about an “extremely large number of young adults & juveniles,” according to a report from the New York Post.

The report explains:

City officials did not cite a specific incident that led them to shut down the boardwalk, but claimed that cops were addressing “civil unrest.” Conditions “began to deteriorate despite the presence and efforts of local police officers and multiple mutual aid law enforcement agencies,” the statement adds.

Wildwood Mayor Ernie Troiano, Jr. said that the city had declared a “state of emergency” – which allows it to send an abnormally large police presence to the area – and blamed the situation on “unruly” teens.

“Wildwood will not tolerate unruly, undisciplined, unparented children nor will we stand by while the laws of the state tie the hands of the police,” Troiano, Jr said in a press release.

Wildwood forced to close its boardwalk early today,“local disaster emergency declared. Due to the irrepressible number of calls for service related to extremely large number of young adults & juveniles,we were unable to respond to certain calls for service within period of time.” pic.twitter.com/oigWSeIYdA

“We wholeheartedly support the City of Wildwood Police Department in protecting this community from these nuisance crowds on our boardwalk and in the city,” the mayor’s statement continued.

The boardwalk was reopened around 5:30 a.m.
