Dallas Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban has confirmed to ESPN that he directed his team to stop playing the national anthem before home basketball games.
In case you haven’t noticed, America is in the midst of a radical civil war, and the very ideals on which this nation was founded are being torn to the ground and set on fire. When I was a kid, my WWII Army Air Force veteran father told me that men he had gone to school with gave their lives to protect our flag, and because of that it was special and should be treated with respect. In our day, the American flag and our National Anthem are so despised by the radical Left that they’re no longer deemed fit to have a place at silly game like basketball.
UPDATE: Despite an order from Mavs Owner Mark Cuban to not play the anthem reportedly because “many feel it does not represent them,” the league has stepped-in and mandated that “all teams” will play the anthem before games.
Black Lives Matter has nothing at all to do with ‘ending racial injustice’ or stopping ‘police brutality’, it is about bringing in a radical Marxist agenda loosely based around the black supremacy movement of Liberation Theology. It is nothing less than war and on a variety of levels. In 2020, I did not watch one minute of any professional sports game, and in 2021 I blissfully ignored the Super Bowl with its idiotic commercials and demonic Half Time Show. Hit them where it hurts and stop watching all professional sports, don’t buy any merchandise and let their businesses fall into receivership. If every Christian in America would do that, the effect would be overwhelming and immediate. Game on.
Dallas Mavericks Stop Playing National Anthem Before Home Games At Command Of Mark Cuban
FROM BREITBART NEWS: The move is not temporary and the team has no anticipation of resuming the long-standing tradition. The Mavericks have now become the first major American sports team to officially end the playing of the national anthem.
The Mavericks have not played the anthem before any of their 13 preseason and regular-season games. Though, until now, Cuban had not publicly confirmed the policy change. Cuban decided to stop playing the anthem after consultation with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, according to ESPN.
The NBA’s rulebook requires players to stand during the national anthem, but Silver has declined to enforce that rule, particularly as kneeling during the anthem became a popular way to protest social injustice in recent years. The vast majority of NBA players and many coaches kneeled during the national anthem during the NBA’s restart last summer in Orlando, Florida, when the league incorporated messaging supporting the Black Lives Matter movement and other social justice causes in the court design and other ways.
Mark Cuban has supported the desire of NBA players to kneel during the anthem as a form of protest.
“Whether it’s holding their arm up in the air, whether it’s taking a knee, whatever it is, I don’t think this is an issue of respect or disrespect to the flag or to the anthem or to our country,” Cuban told ESPN’s Outside the Lines in June. “I think this is more a reflection of our players’ commitment to this country and the fact that it’s so important to them that they’re willing to say what’s in their heart and do what they think is right.
“I’ll defer to Silver on any final judgments and [players’ union executive director] Michele Roberts. But the reality is, my hope is we’ll let the players do exactly what they think is the right thing to do.”
The anthem-kneeling movement began in the summer of 2016 when then-49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick sat, and then knelt during the playing of the anthem. Kaepernick claimed his decision to kneel was a form of protest against racial injustice and police brutality. Since that time, the practice of kneeling during the anthem has been adopted by Major League Baseball players, NBA players, MLS and World Cup soccer players, and Olympic athletes. READ MORE

Trump says that Greenland will be his one way or the other but Denmark is not onboard and says that troops have been ordered to shoot on sight
Danish troops must open fire, even without direct orders, if invaders try to capture Greenland by force, Denmark’s Defense Ministry said as the US weighs military action to annex the land. The ministry confirmed Wednesday that soldiers are required to uphold a Cold War-era rule to “immediately take up the fight” against any foreign force threatening Danish territory, local Berlingske reported. Donald Trump said last night that the rules do not apply to him, and will act accordingly.
“Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:”Joel 3:9 (KJB)
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen slammed the Trump administration’s latest attempts to claim the island as a US territory, saying an attack on the autonomous territory would mark an end to the NATO defense alliance. “If the United States chooses to attack another NATO country militarily, then everything stops,” Frederiksen said. In other news, Trump is also saying that land strikes in Mexico on the “drug cartels” will be starting soon, so brace yourselves for that. Trump was asked by the New York Times if there were any limits on his global powers, Mr. Trump said: “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me. I don’t need international law” Welcome to Day 2,125 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve.

We are sending a thousand King James Bibles to The Massive Monroe Correctional Complex In Washington State through Bibles Behind Bars
The Monroe Correctional Complex is actually made up of 5 incarceration facilities and they are the Washington State Reformatory Unit, Twin Rivers Unit, Sky River Treatment Center, Minimum Security Unit and the Intensive Management Unit. It houses 2,400 inmates across the spectrum all the way from minimum/medium up to maximum security. What they don’t have are King James Bibles, and Chaplain Donghyeok Kim has reached out to us to help him to change that.
“And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.”Acts 16:9 (KJB)
When I told Chaplain Kim that we would immediately send him 500 Bibles now, and the other 500 when he needed them, he was overjoyed. Imagine, no red tape, no votes from a ‘selection committee’ or any of that other nonsense. He told us of his need, and we had his request processed within minutes. That’s it. This is the miracle of Bibles Behind Bars, and why we’ve grown to be one of the largest jail and prison ministries in America exclusively supplying the King James Bible in English, and the Reina-Valera Gomez King James Bible in Spanish. Please pray for the work that Chaplain Kim is doing there in Monroe, along with his fellow chaplain, that souls will continue to be saved and that everyone who needs a King James Bible at Monroe Correctional Complex will receive one. Now come help us to keep the supply lines open!
If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between.

Emmanuel Macron decries Trump’s America isolationist stance and says he is ‘destroying the world order’ but what’s really going on?
As if on cue, France’s Emmanuel Macron has now joined Germany’s Frank-Walter Steinmeier in sounding the alarm that Donald Trump is “destroying the world order” by pulling the United States out of a long list of U.N.-linked agreements and institutions they proudly wear as badges of global virtue. Macron, Steinmeier, the U.N., the EU — all of them are architects and defenders of the same framework that conditions the world to accept centralized authority “for the greater good.”
“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.”Psalms 146:3 (KJB)
One side screams“Global cooperation!” The other side screams “America first!” But neither side is your friend. The Bible tells you not to pin your hope on princes, because today’s hero is tomorrow’s headline, and all of them are dust in God’s hands. It’s the direction of the world to go toward a one-world political order that culminates in a one-world ruler. Trump stepping away from these “woke” U.N. agreements doesn’t derail prophecy, it doesn’t even slow it down. If anything, it agitates the system, forcing elites to double down on calls for stronger global enforcement. Chaos always precedes consolidation. And consolidation always produces a demand for a savior-figure who promises order, stability, and peace — at a cost. Right now you are watching the chaos, just wait for the consolidation. Something worse than the United Nations is coming.
Emmanuel Macron says Trump is ‘destroying world order’ after leaving ‘woke’ UN agreements
FROM METRO UK: The Trump administration announced it wouldn’t take part in the UN’s population agency, international climate negotiations, UN Women and other organisations. Many of the targets are UN-related agencies that focus on issues the Trump administration has categorised as catering to diversity and ‘woke’ intiatives’. Other non-UN organisations on the list include the Partnership for Atlantic Cooperation, the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance and the Global Counterterrorism Forum.
The move has been slammed by international leaders, with French President Emmanuel Macron saying the US is ‘breaking free from international rules’ and ‘gradually turning away’ from some of its allies.
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier went further, saying America was destroying the world order.
‘Then there is the breakdown of values by our most important partner, the USA, which helped build this world order,’ he said. ‘It is about preventing the world from turning into a den of robbers, where the most unscrupulous take whatever they want, where regions or entire countries are treated as the property of a few great powers.’
In the executive order signed by Trump, posted on the White House website, it reads: ‘After deliberating with my Cabinet, have determined that it is contrary to the interests of the United States to remain a member of, participate in, or otherwise provide support to these organisations.’
This July, Trump pulled the US out of UNESCO over its support for what he calls ‘woke causes’.
The State Department accused UNESCO of having ‘a globalist, ideological agenda for international development at odds with our America First foreign policy’. The department’s spokeswoman, Tammy Bruce, said that ‘continued involvement in UNESCO is not in the national interest of the United States’. READ MORE
Macron blasts Trump: ‘America is abandoning its allies’ amid Greenland row
French President Emmanuel Macron sharply criticised the United States under President Donald Trump, saying it is “breaking free from international rules” and “gradually turning away from some of its allies” amid tension over renewed U.S. interest in Greenland. Macron’s remarks, delivered to French ambassadors, reflect growing European concern about Trump’s assertive foreign policy and the perception that long‑standing alliances are being undermined. His comments come as European leaders press for respect for Greenland’s sovereignty and coordinated diplomacy in response to U.S. actions.
