Professional social justice warrior Colin Kaepernick made headlines earlier this week as he condemned the Betsy Ross flag. Nike subsequently removed shoes that included the symbol. One America News highlighted a company with patriotic roots that is responding to Nike’s decision.
A clothing company run by veterans rolled out its own Betsy Ross American flag apparel in response to Nike pulling a shoe containing the patriotic symbol. The company, Nine Line Apparel, released its own line of t-shirts this week featuring the country’s original 13 starred flag. This after Nike announced that would be scrapping the shoe meant to celebrate the 4th of July because former NFL player Colin Kaepernick, who was an endorser of the clothing giant, claimed that the flag was offensive.
Kaepernick has a history of expressing anti-American sentiments and he is most known for his decision to kneel for the national anthem. In response, Nine Line Apparel released a statement condemning Nike for its swing toward left-wing ideologies.
“Since then, Nike’s gone way out in the left-field,” said Army veteran Zac Scalf in a video promoting Nine Line Apparel. “Progressive agendas kowtow to the likes of social justice warriors because they deemed something to be inappropriate, they deemed something to be racist. Unacceptable.”
The statement goes on to say, “While the company supports free speech, they do not stand by speech being silenced simply because it might be offensive.”
It’s important to note the woman at the center of this debate, Betsy Ross, was a Quaker and she came from a long line of staunch abolitionists. The flag design she’s stitched was first officially used by the United States and 1777 and acted as a revolutionary symbol by the Continental Congress meant to represent the original 13 colonies united front against British rule. The flag has commonly been flown alongside the modern US flag as a reminder of America’s founding principles of freedom, justice, and the pursuit of equality. In fact the flag was prominently showcased during both of former President Barack Obama’s inauguration speeches.
Nonetheless the outrage continues with some twenty twenty Democrat White House hopefuls hoping to score points by railing against the symbol. For example Julian Castro tried to compare the Betsy Ross flag to the Confederate battle flag and said he was glad to see the original symbol of our country sidelined.
“I was glad to see that and my hope is that that they didn’t just do what to do it, that they understand the significance there and… look there are a lot of things in our history that are still very painful,” Castro said. “The Confederate flag that still flies in some places and it’s used as a symbol.”
A portion if every purchase from nine-line apparel goes towards supporting wounded American veterans.
We happily support Nine Line Apparel just as they patriotically support America. It’s imperative for patriots to align ourselves with companies that are not ashamed of America and who share our pro-American values.

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
