Photo of Newborn Swaddled In American Flag Gets Photographer In Trouble

Photographer Vanessa Hicks, got herself in hot water after a newborn photo she posted to her professional Facebook page went viral. The navy veteran who is also married to a military man says she never could have anticipated the backlash she got from the photo of another military father in uniform, holding his baby in an American flag. The online furore, she said, started from a Facebook page that attacked the photo for desecrating the American flag.

Naysayers criticised the photograpgher and her husband, and also the father whose name appears in the photo as seen above. Some insisted he needed to be disciplined or sacked. But Hicks stood up for her picture and called on her friends, fans, family, and anyone who loved the picture to defend it and share. Now, she may be making prints to sell of the photo, and she believes this is a win for those in military service who often give their lives in defence of the country, the flag and all it stands for.

Creflo Dollar Deletes Fundraiser For $60 Million Private Jet After Backlash

Yesterday, world renowned prosperity preacher, Pastor Creflo Dollar created a fundraising page on his website for one of the most luxurious private jets in production, a Gulfstream G650, to cost $60 Million. He requested for 200,000 believers to donate $300 each to help him and the church quickly reach the goal and purchase the private jet. There was an immediate online backlash once the story leaked on theroot and elsewhere, and now, the goFundme page has been removed.

The church had been making the demand because, they said, the private jet the pastor had been using before now had recently suffered engine failure leading to an emergency landing, which is not a good thing. The intro begging for donations re-iterated that Pastor Creflo Dollar needed a replacement so as to ensure that he, his wife, and staff members of the church can get to their overseas engagements safely and quickly, at any needed time.
