Washington Post Columnist: Blowing Up Three Children With A Suicide Vest Proves Baghdadi Wasn’t A Coward

Via The Federalist

The Washington Post columnist Max Boot penned an opinion piece insinuating blowing up three children with a suicide vest proves ISIS Leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was not a coward.

“Trump could not have heard ‘whimpering and crying’ because there was no audio, and Esper and Milley refused to confirm those details. The assertion that Baghdadi died as a coward was contradicted by the fact that rather than be captured he blew himself up,” Boot wrote.

Of course, we should consider that this opinion comes from the same columnist who previously claimed he would rather vote for Josef Stalin, the Soviet dictator whose regime killed tens of millions of its own people, than Donald Trump.

Boot’s sympathetic portrayal of a terrorists not only plays into the hands of ISIS propaganda, but shows just how far NeverTrumpers will go for the sake of opposing anything that President Trump does.

Via The Daily Caller

A growing number of Millennials show support for communism and socialism, a survey from the Victims of Communism found.

The survey, conducted by the Victims of Communism and polled by the research and data firm YouGov, found that 70% of Millennials are likely to vote socialist and that one in three Millennials perceive communism as “favorable.” The survey is part of the Victims of Communism’s report “U.S. Attitudes Toward Socialism, Communism, and Collectivism,” which polled 2,100 people in the United States who were 16 and older with a margin of error of +/- 2.4%.

A little over half of the Millennials polled said the Declaration of Independence “guarantees freedom and equality” better than the Communist Manifesto. (

“The historical amnesia about the dangers of communism and socialism is on full display in this year’s report,” said Marion Smith, executive director of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.

Clothing Company’s NYC Billboard Portrays Violence Against Hogtied Trump

Via The New American

While the media are currently up in arms over President Trump using the word “lynching” — a term Democrats have uttered as well — they’re remarkably tolerant of a New York City billboard portraying violence against the commander in chief. The image, displayed in Times Square, is an advertisement by Oregon-based clothing company Dhvani that shows the president hogtied.

As Time reports, “The 30-foot-high billboard featuring a model binding a Trump look-alike with red, white and blue rope while stomping on his face, was put up last Tuesday…. Dhvani’s CEO, Avi Brown, told The Associated Press that the billboard was intended to be a comment on the Trump administration’s changes to the Title X family planning program blocking federal funding for health providers who refer patients for abortions.”

The dominatrix-like model is identified as Michal Mesa, a Marine Corps veteran and, surprise, surprise, a middle-school teacher.

There are other shocking photos as well, such as a model grabbing Trump’s cellphone while he’s sitting on a golden toilet, trousers down around his ankles; one in which a woman is putting a piece of duct tape over his mouth; and yet another where the president is on his knees being shushed by a model (video below).

Could you imagine the response if Barack Obama had been thus portrayed? Of course, it’s unlikely an advertising company would consent to display such an Obama billboard in the first place.

Via Campus Reform

More than half of American university students support punishment for their peers who wear “highly offensive” Halloween costumes.

A recent poll by The College Pulse found that more than half of students do not believe that dressing in “offensive” costumes is protected free expression and support the notion that those who partake in such costumes should “be punished.”

The survey was conducted by asking 1,501 university students several questions regarding current events and societal norms, including “Are highly offensive Halloween costumes (such as blackface) a protected form of free speech on campus, or should students who wear them be punished?”

Via the Babylon Bee (Satire)

SACRAMENTO, CA—California is being heralded as a progressive utopia after eliminating electricity entirely.

Working by candelight at his desk, Governor Gavin Newsom signed a new law that bans electricity, propelling the state into a progressive futuristic paradise. Newsom said he got the idea while experiencing the latest round of rolling blackouts in the state. He decided to make the blackouts the law of the land.

“Other, backward states still use carbon-heavy electricity, gas for heating and cooking, and wasteful air conditioning,” he said proudly as people applauded around him. “But not on my watch. California has progressed beyond these archaic concepts.”

The law also bans vehicles, forcing pedestrians to use innovative new horse-driven carriages.

Next on the legislative docket? The elimination of water-wasting toilets, to be replaced by just going on the sidewalk. A pilot program in San Francisco has been very successful, according to the homeless population there.
