The Daily Wire has an exclusive first look at the trailer for “Average Joe,” the story of a high school football coach who took his fight for the right to pray on the field all the way to the Supreme Court — and won. WATCH: Exclusive first look at “Average Joe,” the true story of how coach Joe Kennedy won at the Supreme Court after he was fired for praying at games. In theaters October 11: pic.twitter.com/CYsfq2AFvV — Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) August 20, 2024 Directed by award-winner Harold Cronk, (“God’s Not Dead,” “Unbroken: Path to Redemption”), the film stars Eric Close (“Nashville,” “American Sniper”) as Joseph Kennedy, assistant football coach of Bremerton High School in Washington. After seven years on the job, school officials asked Kennedy to stop praying with players on field after games. Kennedy refused, saying he had the right to pray quietly in public. The school placed him on administrative leave in 2015, and later fired him for his refusal to stop praying. Kennedy sued the school on religious freedom grounds, and took his case all the way to the Supreme Court, which ruled in a 6-3 decision that Kennedy’s rights had been infringed upon.

I can’t let him down,” Kennedy tells Denise, who responds, “God doesn’t need you to defend him.” “I’m not defending God. I’m defending the people of this country,” Kennedy says., Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority ruling in Kennedy’s case in June 2023, seven years after the coach began his fight to pray on the field. “Here, a government entity sought to punish an individual for engaging in a brief, quiet, personal religious observance doubly protected by the Free Exercise and Free Speech Clauses of the First Amendment. And the only meaningful justification the government offered for its reprisal rested on a mistaken view that it had a duty to ferret out and suppress religious observances even as it allows comparable secular speech,” Gorsuch wrote. “The Constitution neither mandates nor tolerates that kind of discrimination.” “Average Joe” hits theaters nationwide on October 11.

The official campaign website for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz still does not have a policy platform or list of important issues even after the kickoff of the Democratic National Convention on Monday. KamalaHarris.com asks for supporters to “Join the Campaign” and “Chip in” a donation “to power our campaign,” but noticeably absent from the website is a page explaining what issues are most important to Vice President Harris. The campaign website only includes bios for Harris and Walz, a page where supporters can find campaign events near them, and a shop where supporters can purchase Harris gear. Harris has been criticized for staying quiet on many of her policy positions after becoming the de facto nominee nearly one month ago. POLITICO reported that some Democratic lawmakers want Harris to wait until after an election victory to roll out her policy agenda, which would be an unprecedented move from a presidential candidate. The vice president announced her first policy proposal, no tax on tips, on August 10 — two months after former President Donald Trump promised to eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers. Last week, Harris announced more policies to address rising food and housing costs and was slammed by critics who accused her of essentially proposing Soviet-style price controls on groceries.

A loaf of bread costs 50% more today than it did before the pandemic. Ground beef is up almost 50%.” “My plan will include new penalties for opportunistic companies that exploit crises and break the rules, and we will support smaller food businesses that are trying to play by the rules and get ahead,” she added. The Democratic nominee also promised that, if elected, she would give first-time homeowners $25,000 from the federal government for a down payment on a house. Those who are first-generation homeowners would get more assistance than other first-time homeowners, ABC News reporter Selina Wang wrote on X after getting details about the proposal from a Harris campaign official. The plan was ripped by conservatives, including Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance, who argued, “Kamala Harris wants to give $25,000 to illegal aliens to buy American homes. This will only further exacerbate the housing shortage in our country. It’s a disgrace. We should be making it easier and more affordable for American citizens to buy homes.” WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI The DNC platform, which was approved by delegates on Monday, was also mocked for referring to President Joe Biden, not Harris, as the party’s nominee. “In the JUST RELEASED Democrat Platform, they mention Crooked Joe Biden’s ‘second Term’ over 20 times,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “It shows that the Platform is not that important to them when they won’t even make the change.”

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said late Monday night that Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris has declined to participate in the first proposed presidential debate next month with Fox News. “Comrade Kamala Harris has just informed us that she will NOT do the FoxNews Debate on September 4th,” Trump posted on social media. “I am not surprised by this development because I feel that she knows it is very difficult, at best, for her to defend her record setting Flip-Flopping on absolutely everything she once believed in, including her statements that THERE WILL BE NO FRACKING IN PENNSYLVANIA and her HORRIBLE Performance on the Border, our ‘Border Czar,’ where millions of criminals and people from mental institutions and terrorists, have been allowed to pour into our Country, totally unchecked and unvetted.” “It’s called, and she LOVES IT, an OPEN BORDER!!!” he continued. “Rather than the debate on September 4th, I have agreed to do a Tele-Town Hall, anchored by Sean Hannity, for Fox. It will take place in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania – Details to follow!” Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. Harris and her vice presidential nominee, Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz, would not agree to multiple proposed debates last week offered by former President Donald Trump and Sen. JD Vance (R-OH). “The debate about debates is over,” the Harris campaign said. “Donald Trump’s campaign accepted our proposal for three debates – two presidential and a vice presidential debate. Assuming Donald Trump actually shows up on September 10 to debate Vice President Harris, then Governor Walz will see JD Vance on October 1 and the American people will have another opportunity to see the vice president and Donald Trump on the debate stage in October.” However, the statement from the Harris campaign was wildly misleading because the Trump campaign said there was “no proposal from a network for an October debate.” The Trump campaign accepted three presidential debates — Fox News on September 4, ABC News on September 10, and NBC News on September 25. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI The Trump campaign also accepted two vice presidential debates, CBS News on October 1 and CNN on September 18. The Trump campaign responded to the Harris campaign’s statement by saying it was obvious which campaign was afraid to debate. “President Trump challenged Kamala to three debates. She only accepted two,” the campaign said. “J.D. Vance challenged Freakish Timothy Walz to two debates. He only accepted one. Just so everyone is aware which campaign in this race is ‘too afraid’ to debate.”

It was very interesting digging into the music of Eric Clapton and the artists who have attempted to cover his songs. After spending a lot of time on the research, it became clear that Clapton is not an artist who is often covered. The reasons seem pretty obvious. Clapton stands as one of the greatest guitar players of all time. Not many musicians can go head-to-toe with Clapton to cover his music. His playing was just too iconic. If you’re going to cover a Clapton tune, you’re going to have to bring it big time. Of course, some artists could The post Top 10 Covers Of Eric Clapton Songs appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.
