Restaurant owner defiant after woke backlash to daily national anthem: ‘We won’t be stopping’

Video of patrons standing for “The Star-Spangled Banner” inside a California eatery sent progressives into a tailspin online, including the person behind the TikTok post who captioned the incident “the most dangerous situation I’ve ever been in.”Others chimed in, saying the moment would’ve been their “worst nightmare,” “that’s ...

Video of patrons standing for “The Star-Spangled Banner” inside a California eatery sent progressives into a tailspin online, including the person behind the TikTok post who captioned the incident “the most dangerous situation I’ve ever been in.”

Others chimed in, saying the moment would’ve been their “worst nightmare,” “that’s terrifying” and “this feels like a horror movie.”

Commenters included hashtags like #godblessamerica, #getout, #illegal and #whitepeoplethings.

Jeanene Paulino, owner of Rainbow Oaks restaurant in Fallbrook — where the patriotic moment occurred — said the complaints are all just another way of getting attention.

“I feel like, if we take a few minutes out of our day to be grateful for the men and women who have made the sacrifices so that we can stand up and say how we feel and she said how she felt. And I wish she realized that it’s because those men and women who made those sacrifices that she was able to do that,” she told hosts Todd Piro and Ashley Strohmier.

Paulino joined “Fox & Friends First” on Wednesday to weigh in on the reaction pouring in from progressives, saying she wishes they would recognize their freedom of speech comes from those fighting to preserve the right.

The footage that amassed criticism from some shows a number of diners rise and recite the pledge with their hands over their hearts as Old Glory waves on television screens nearby.

Paulino said the complaints posted by progressive patrons online were “privileged” and ungrateful to those who previously served and sacrificed.

“I think maybe they’re not focusing on gratitude,” she continued. “This particular TikToker had seen a local news post, so she probably did it for attention.”

Rainbow Oaks has maintained its tradition of standing for the national anthem daily for years, a tradition established by previous owners that Paulino said she is proud to continue.

“I come from a long line of patriots, so I was thrilled to keep the tradition going. No, we won’t be stopping,” she said.

What do you think? Post a comment.

The TikToker also took some heat for being hyperbolic with the caption, with Paulino saying they should be grateful the US is so secure that such a benign incident made them feel threatened.

FALLBROOK, Calif (KGTV) - Family and friends are keeping vigil, after a beloved drag performer was critically injured in a crash, which was believed to be weather-related.

As a fixture in the local drag community, 28-year-old Cody Doyle AKA ‘Ari Mirage,’ is known for dance moves and a brilliant fashion sense.

“Cody would describe himself as fem, gorgeous, loud, creative, and amazing. All those things,” said close friend Hannah Szafranski.

On Monday night, after a gig at a bar in Hillcrest, Doyle headed to his Fallbrook home. Around 2:30 a.m., and not far from home, the CHP says Doyle’s Nissan Sentra slid off Mission Road near Paseo De Lago, and slammed into a tree.

According to the CHP, wet roadways and fog were possible factors. Alcohol and drugs are not suspected.

Doyle suffered a host of broken bones, including a spinal fracture and three skull fractures. A brain bleed required emergency surgery. He remains in a coma in critical condition.

“Emotionally, I mean, it’s been absolutely heartbreaking,” said Szafranski.

Doyle’s family and friends have been at the hospital, praying and waiting.

“No one wants to think about him not waking up, but he's a fighter. If anyone can handle this, it's Cody,” said a tearful Szafranksi.

Doyle, who started performing drag nearly a decade ago, hosts shows in Hillcrest and Carlsbad. Several of those bars are now planning fundraisers, as donations pour into a Gofundme campaign in Doyle's name.

“I think the silver lining is that Cody is beautiful person, and he’s brought us all together,” said Szafranski.

While the prognosis for Doyle isn't clear, Szafranski remains hopeful. The road to recovery will be a long one.

“Our goal is get him back on stage performing. That’s where he belongs … Hopefully, in the next couple years, Cody is back on stage,” said Szafranski, choking back tears.

The CHP says their investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information on the case is asked to call their Oceanside area office at 760-643-3400.

LOS ANGELES -- A Southern California family is speaking out about how their beloved pet was diagnosed with a mysterious illness affecting dogs across the country -- and the "last-resort antibiotic" that "saved him."

The Oliver family said their golden retriever, Ike, quickly came down with a strange illness while on the road in September competing in dog shows.

Veterinarians initially didn't know what it was, and they were losing hope.

"They had given up, and (Ike) was starting to give up," Becky Oliver said.

They were able to transfer Ike to a hospital closer to their home in Fallbrook, California.

"When he got to Murrieta, at the vet there, they isolated him in a quarantine, behind glass," said John Oliver about Ike. "He couldn't go in the room with them; no other dogs were in there with him, so that's how contagious this is."

After multiple tests, they said Ike was infected with the mysterious dog respiratory illness known as canine infectious respiratory disease complex.

Dogs that catch it show symptoms like a cough, runny nose, sneezing and lack of energy.

The Los Angeles County Public Health Department said it's already learned of 10 cases in less than a week - and those are just cases that have been reported.

"Just in one clinic that I was at last week, we had three separate cases of young dogs getting very sick, progressively worse, and they ended up having to be euthanized, unfortunately," veterinarian Dr. Ross Bernstein said.

But in Ike's case, they found a solution.

After posting about what happened online, a stranger told them to try chloramphenicol.

Within hours, Ike was breathing better, and just a few days later, the 5-year-old golden retriever was able to go home.

"It's a very, very strong last-resort antibiotic, but it's what saved him," Oliver said. "Otherwise he would not be here."

As the illness spreads this holiday season, vets have this advice to keep pets safe: "Avoid places where there's lots of dogs that you don't know if they're vaccinated or not, whether they're healthy or not," Bernstein said. "So places like dog parks, boarding facilities, groomers, just places where you don't know the other dogs that your dog is going to be interacting with."
