P*ssy Hat Priest Fr. Wiliam Lugger Posts Tribute to Margaret Sanger on his Facebook Page

Fr. William Lugger

You remember William Lugger. He was the social justice warrior priest who donned a pink pro-Women's March "p*ussy hat" during a homily a few weeks ago.

While it was shocking in its way, the stunt was perfectly in keeping with Lugger's public political persona, which is fully on view on his public Facebook page, among other places.

Each day offers a constant stream of anti-Trump memes, pro-Muslim posts, pro-feminist slogans and the occasional bit of "humor" like a doctored photo of Mary Tyler Moore and Dick Van Dyke engaging in a leather-suited bondage session.

That was on the day Mary Tyler Moore died.

"Fr. Bill" probably thinks comportment is a sexual fetish.


Today, he posted a meme you may have already seen on the wall of one of your liberal Facebook friends. It features photographs of ten feminist icons surrounding the statement, "She persisted." One of them (top middle) is Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood.



Now I know someone might say, that's not a tribute to Sanger per se. She after all is just one of the ten - there's also Harriet Tubman, Marie Curie, Amelia Earhart and that legendary American heroine, Elizabeth Warren.

But consider, suppose I put up on my Facebook wall a meme featuring ten great men or ten great leaders or ten great right-wingers or whatever and one of them was Adolph Hitler?

Or suppose Fr. Peter West did that.

Who is Fr. West? He's the New Jersey priest currently under fire for being a conservative Facebook poster. The Newark archdiocese is "concerned" about his activity and will soon be "addressing" it.

As any Catholic social media user can easily verify from experience, for every one Peter West there are ten William Luggers. Some have suggested that Fr. West "goes too far." I looked at his page and found nothing offensive. Oh, wait, there's a post condemning violent anti-Trump protests. "Violence has no place in civil society," he writes. The fiend.

Moving back to Fr. Lugger's page, there's a post praising a skit of Kellyanne Conway as a sort of broadway slut. Beneath it, a helpful "friend" added a picture of the first winning female presidential campaign manager in history crawling out of a sewer. How Christian. 

Obviously, I'm not equating the two priests. Fr. West's posts are mostly forceful defenses of Catholic teaching; the remainder are perfectly consistent with it. Fr. Lugger's posts are mostly liberal cliches having about as much to do with Christianity as my dining room table. A few are innocuous, many are obnoxious and some are directly opposed to the teachings of Christ, such as Lugger's endorsement of the pro-abortion Women's March or his favorable mention of that mousy little eugenicist Sanger.

Guess who might get onto trouble with the hierarchy and who almost certainly won't.

As I observed a few weeks ago, Lugger seems to be well-liked by most of his parishioners - many of whom are Facebook friends. They appear to share his liberal values and approve of his method of expressing them. And, yes, that Mary Tyler Moore bondage picture got a number of "likes" and LOLs. I suspect that to them, their very own Fr. Bill is what a Catholic priest should be. That's the worst of it, of course, and Fr. Lugger will no doubt answer for it some day.

The contemporary American Church is decadent and rotten.

The Vagina Monologue: Full Text of Pro-Women's March Homily - Thirteen Minutes of Cloying Leftist Cliches


Last Sunday, Fr. William Lugger of St. Casimir Parish in Lansing Michigan gave a homily while wearing a pink "p*ssy hat" - the;anatomically-shaped clothing accessory adopted by the Women's March as an ironic protest symbol.

As far as I know, the homily was well-received by his congregation. He then put a picture of it up on his public Facebook page with the comment, "The Kingdom of God is at hand!" Aside from a few grumblers, this was well-received by his Facebook friends, many of whom were members of the parish.

As should have been foreseen, a critic then shared the picture on the Facebook page of Lugger's diocese. Lugger oddly responded to this by putting the picture up again on his public page along with a note saying how angry he was that the picture had been shared to the diocese. (It had also been shared to other pages at least 70 previous times - no doubt including many pages of members of the diocese.)

The "p*ssy hat priest" story became a minor viral sensation among foes and friends alike, but "Fr. Bill" was unapologetic. He did however, feel it was important to reassure everyone that the hat was "only a prop" (what else would it have been?), and raced to put an audio recording of the homily up on the parish website so that his critics would understand how innocuous the whole thing really was, or how profound his homily was or whatever.

As of today, all pictures of the p*ssy hat have disappeared. But the homily itself remains.

The transcription below was taken from that recording. As far as I know, it's the only transcript in existence.

The historical record owes me one. Big time.

As one might have expected, there's nothing particularly surprising or unusual about the homily. It's thirteen minutes of cloying liberal cliches - in other words, a fairly typical homily from a Catholic parish, circa 2017. To be fair, Fr. Bill does acknowledge that Jesus suffered and died primarily for us to "get to salvation." But he then spends the remaining 90% of his time outlining how we can best bear witness to Jesus' ministry by becoming anti-Trump social justice activists - just as Jesus was the original anti-Trump social justice activist. And, of course supporting the Women's March is part of that effort.

We've all heard this sort of thing before, even and especially from Catholic priests. But I want to quickly remark on just one point:

The monstrous arrogance of the man and people like him.


Judging from the homily, the primary - indeed perhaps the only - principle of Fr. Bill's political philosophy is that all people are well, people. And it's wrong to treat people differently because they're, well, different.

Not only does he believe that this was the primary teaching of Jesus' earthly ministry but he seems to believe that most people at most times, even and especially after the time of Jesus, were not aware of this insight. So he disses the historical Catholic Church and historical America. He disses Donald Trump and presumably most Trump voters. According to Fr. Bill, he, his parishioners and liberals in general do in fact "get it," but most others, including many Christians, past and present, do not.

He's the Pharisee who thanks God he's not like the other guy.

For Lugger, the Kingdom of God is at hand (finally!) because at long last enough people are hip to the basic proposition that a wealthy American straight white male is not any more morally valuable than your average working-class Congolese lesbian.

And yes, it is Fr. Bill who brings up the Congo (see below). He seems to think the Women's March was about it.

His Kingdom of God is at hand. Or at least it was at hand until Donald Trump came along. This is why he fights.

Now imagine all that with a vagina on his head.

From the audio recording on the St. Casimir Facebook page:
[Unintelligible]...it's not why I'm doing this. I put this on today [the p*ssy hat] for a number of reasons, mainly because of what the Scriptures speak of. These last few days, we have seen many of our brothers and sisters, not only in our country but around the world, wearing this. It symbolizes a whole number of things. For the most part it symbolizes pushing back against theories or ways of thinking that do not do justice to our sisters and brothers.
In the second reading today from St. Paul, he's hearing all of this dissension about the coming Church. Some are saying that they made their allegiance to Paul and Peter and Caiphus and Apollos. And he says, look my brothers and sisters, Jesus died on the cross for all of us. It wasn't Paul. It wasn't Peter. It wasn't Caiphus. It wasn't Apollos. Jesus died on the cross for all people
So, we often have the symbol that we use as Christians, which is the cross. And for us. This is out hope of unity. That when we either wear this around our neck, or we place it on the altar, or we hang it on the ceiling, it is a reminder to us that the life of Christ was not just about dying and rising on the cross. That was the main reason he came - for us to get to salvation. However, in Jesus' ministry, he reached out to all the marginalized people that He encountered. Everybody that Jesus reached out to that we hear about in the Scriptures are basically outcasts of the society in which Jesus was living. He showed them, or tried to explain to them they were valued members of society. So He touches the person with leprosy and heals them. He speaks to the women at the well from Samaria. He goes down to the banks of the pond and raises up people who were sick and bleeding. He speaks to the tax collector and invites himself to his house.
We come here today and we listen to the voices of many many people who are feeling very much afraid and threatened by many other different people. They keep telling us that we need to not let them in to our country. We need to send them back to their own country. We need to get rid of these people or get rid of that person. And the reality is that as brothers and sisters in Christ, we cannot do that. We cannot allow that to happen.
We live in a world now that is very much a world community. We are connected to our sisters and brothers throughout the world. Our nation is a wonderful and powerful nation in lots of ways. The first thing that happens when some tragedy or catastrophe affects another country around the world, whether it's an earthquake or bombings or whatever, who do they turn to, they turn to the United States of America because they know it will help. The same thing has to go for the people who are marginalized by society. They must turn to our country to say, "we need your help" and our country has to be a model for that. We can't exclude anyone under the umbrella of freedom and justice and peace.
The opening song today - we sang about let us be a light for our sisters and brothers. Let us speak and live in justice and peace. We can't sing that song or live that out if women are looked down upon or not paid for their [unintelligible] of work. We can't do that when there are children who are suffering from poverty and nakedness in our world. We can't do that when veterans have no place to go because their country has shunned them. We can't do that when there are people who are killed for simply because of who they love or their background. We can't expect that to be justice and peace because Jesus [unintelligible].
We come today and the Scriptures announce to us that the Kingdom of God is at hand. But Jesus even know before he returned to the Father, he wasn't going to do this alone. He knew that he had to go back to Heaven and prepare a place for us. So who did he choose to continue his mission? Four skeevy, smelly guys who wreaked of seawater and dead fish. He didn't go to downtown Jerusalem to pick out the mayor or the wealthiest person in Jerusalem. He went to the seashore and picked out your average guy to follow him and to continue his mission and ministry. And even then in the course of his ministry, he picks out several women who are there to continue to help him promote the message of the Good News. And if you remember on Easter Sunday, the first one to receive the message that Jesus had died for the cross, is not one of the Apostles. It was Mary Magdalen - a woman God chose to shoulder the power of God's love.
But [unintelligible] for today is that as we come here and see those various scenes of marches over all of our, not only of our nation, but around the world - in Paris and Rome and Cairo and other places - people are tired of being marginalized or put into [unintelligible] boxes and are treated as less than human. It doesn't matter what your skin is like. It doesn't matter what color your hair or what nation you come from. God loves us equally. And he showed that in Jesus Chhist. Jesus didn't say, "I just died on the cross today folks, on Good Friday, for the people here in Jerusalem that they might change their minds around." Jesus told us he dies for all. Jesus' blood was not shed so that a few people in the central part of Israel would be free from sin. He did that for all people at all times. So we as brothers and sisters in Christ have the responsibility to continue to share that message with our sisters and brothers. Catholic social teaching is the foundation of Jesus' life. [Unintelligible] is revisiting that vision of Jesus and opening up the Church to many many [unintelligible].
The church is not perfect. You look over two-thousand years of the Church history, the Church has done some pretty awful stuff in the name of Jesus Christ. Even churches when I wa growing up - the French church would not have approached the Polish church because one was seen as less Christian or less holy than another church. There was dissension in Flint. One side of Flint was African-American, the other side was pretty much all white. And the first time I ever really interacted with an African-American person was when i went to junior high school. And then in the late sixties we all saw that in the rioting that took place, down not only in Detroit but around the country. We can't have that today in the guise of being Christian or even American.
America's a wonderful place, but in its two-hundred and something years there's been some pretty bad stuff here. Whether it's the Civil War. Whether it's the Civil Rights Movement. whether it's our brothers and sisters who have been hung from trees in the South. Whether it's our brothers and sisters who, because people see them and look at the color of their skin or whatever clothes their wearing, automatically think that they're a bad person or a terorist who will blow up someone. We can't do that in our world nowadays. We can't marginalize people [unintelligible]. We are called to be good and faithful members of the world community.
When we heard our newly elected president on Friday say, "America First," well I'm thinking, maybe fifty or a hundred years ago "America First" would be the right thing to say. But nowadays I'm not sure. Because we're not isolating ourselves from the rest of the world. America shares its resources. It gives food and money and clothing and medical supplies to the rest off the world. We're all brothers and sisters on this planet. Yes, we want jobs for our American brothers and sisters and we want health care and we want equal rights. But shouldn't that be the same thing for our brothers and sisters in the Congo or in the Middle-East or in South Africa. I think that was the message of the walks this last week. It's the message of the Gospels. It's the message of who we called to be as brothers and sisters in Christ.
So when we come forth to Communion today, where we see that nourishment that speaks to our unity, it also speaks to us that as we go forth from the celebration we're supposed to witness Jesus [unintelligible]. We're not all perfect. We all have our faults. We are all sinners. If we acknowledge that and gain strength from God's forgiveness and mercy, we can then change to be better people, We can be inclusive in our love, not exclusive of who we love or who we relate to.
The family for our Little House [the parish has designated a house for a refugee family] looks like they're coming not this week but the following Tuesday or Wednesday, First or second of February. When people have heard what we're doing, for the most part people have been very generous and very kind, lifting up our parish. But there have been people - some say, "why are you doing that, why do you have to do that now? Who are these people that are coming. Are they Catholic? Are they Muslim? Are they African-American or African? Are they different from us? Under the umbrella of God's love, it sent matter. That's why we're doing what we're doing, because we are called to do it. If we had the resources we could have twenty-five or fifty houses around the neighborhood for various people who need help in education in family in homes and food and clothing and shelter.
So listen very carefully to the Gospel. who Jesus picks out. He does the same thing to us. He says come and do my work. He doesn't care what kind of bank account we have, what country we were born in, what our background is, who we love. He just says come and do the work of freedom and justice and try to rid the planet of persecution and unhealthy un-wholeness. It's the message of the Gospel. I think that's what my sisters and brothers were trying to talk about in this weekend of protests. I know that for most of them, that's what it was.
So we come here. We ask God to empower us with the same gifts of the spirit to reach out to our sisters and brothers. And when we do that, when they see us treating our sisters and brothers in justice and peace and mercy and forgiveness, they can use the line that Jesus uses in the Gospels: "Today the Kingdom of God is at hand."

PURE EVIL: Speaker at Women's March Was Convicted of the Kidnap, Torture, Rape and Murder of a 62-Year-Old Man - "He was a homo, anyway"


Activist Donna Hylton made a five-minute speech on the featured stage of the DC Women's March. She spoke in-between Cecile Richards (the head of Planned Parenthood), Kiera Johnson (the executive director of URGE - wearing the white "abortion" smock), the reggae-folk-singer (I didn't get her name) and Stephanie Schriock (president of Emily's List). Like many of the speakers, Hylton also was interviewed by and appeared on various television shows where she was given the opportunity to make the case for the March.

As far as I know, no one asked about her past. If they knew of it, they didn't speak about it.

Ms. Hylton spent 27 years in prison for participating in a horrific crime. But as far as I can tell, she's not repentant. Indeed, judging from her speech at the Women's March, she wears her imprisonment as a badge of honor against "injustice."

The young Hylton was one of four women and three men men who participated in the kidnapping, attempted ransom, torture, rape and murder of a white real-estate broker, Thomas Vigliarole. They had been hired by an associate of Vigliarole to extort money from him. But the kidnapping escalated into a deadly session of sexual torture and rape.

The case, notorious at the time (1985) in New York City and Long Island, has some similarities with the recent kidnapping incident in Chicago.

Except that it was a thousand times worse.

Vigliarole believed the three girls were prostitutes who were going to have sex with him. Instead, they picked him up on March 8 in Elmhurst, Queens, at Maria’s home, and drugged him to make him drowsy. Then they drove him to Selma’s apartment in Harlem. The apartment had already been prepared for an extended torture session: The closet door had been cut, a pot put in it for use as a toilet, the windows boarded. 
For the next 15 to 20 days (police aren’t sure just when Vigliarole died), the man was starved, burned, beaten, and tortured. (Even 10 years later, Spurling [one of the ten investigating detectives] could recall Rita’s chilling response when they questioned her about shoving a three-foot metal bar up Vigliarole’s rear: “He was a homo anyway.” How did she know? “When I stuck the bar up his rectum he wiggled.”) 
The three girls took turns watching the man. It was Donna who delivered a ransom note and tape to a friend of Vigliarole’s, who was able to get a partial license plate number of the car she was driving. He notified the police, who traced the plate to a rental car facility. On April 6 the suspects were arrested, and detectives spent 36 hours straight interviewing the seven men and women. “We had to keep going back and forth and catch them in lies,” said Spurling. “It was a never-ending circle of lies.” 
Spurling himself interviewed Donna: “I couldn’t believe this girl who was so intelligent and nice-looking could be so unemotional about what she was telling me she and her friends had done. They’d squeezed the victim’s testicles with a pair of pliers, beat him, burned him. Actually, I thought the judge’s sentence was lenient. Once a jailbird, always a jailbird.” 
*** 
But there was another moment, on our second day together, when she slipped verbally, and said in an almost irritable way, “He [the victim] was going to die anyway, so . . .” and then she caught herself. I just looked at her. All her previous protestations that when arrested she’d had no idea Vigliarole was dead were clearly lies. 
...[Hylton had said:] "When they told me the victim was dead I just broke down. I didn’t believe it. Look, I know I did something wrong, but I didn’t kill anybody and I didn’t want anybody killed. I wasn’t out for anything evil, maybe love, maybe acceptance.” 
Hylton’s signed statement, and the recollections of Detective Spurling, tell a different story. “All the girls’s hairs were on the bedsheet they wrapped him in,” recalled Spurling, “so they were all on the bed with him, or maybe having sex with him.” Rita and Theresa recalled hearing Hylton reading the ransom statement, while Vigliarole’s captors held a knife to his throat and tried to force him to repeat it after them into a tape recorder. She was indeed sighted as the deliverer of the ransom note and tape.
Let's not mince words. The Women's March wasn't about women. Nor was it about gays or blacks or immigrants or any other "minority" group. It was, if you are a Christian, about Satan making a frontal attack on human life, while at the same time attempting to taint as many souls as possible by getting them to go along with it. You can just see him listening to the speakers and laughing.

Or if you are not a Christian, it was about the propensity of human beings to cloak irrationality, violence and raw hatred in the language of "rights."

The whole thing dripped evil. Accept it or not. Renounce it or not. Accept part of it (or accept its "ideal") and cover your eyes for the rest. Or not.

But for your sake, I would choose carefully.       

Here is Donna Hylton's speech. It comes between 2:26:00 and 2:31:00.

"The Catholic Church is now just another liberal NGO"

Save the children

Consider this claim:
The Catholic Church is now just another liberal NGO.
("NGO" stands for non-governmental organization, like Oxfam or Doctors without Borders or Save the Children.) 

Do I believe the claim? No. I wouldn't be a Catholic if I did. To paraphrase an Evangelical friend of mine alluding to the hypothetical discovery of the body of Jesus, if I felt that the Church was just a liberal NGO, I'd quit and go sell hot tubs in LA.

Or, rather (and not to sound too much like a Modernist), I don't believe that it's literally true. But it does contain an element of truth.

Let me propose that the Catholic Church being just another liberal NGO is now the main experience of most people, at least in Western countries, Catholic and non-Catholic alike. And many people, including many Catholics are fine with that.

It's not exactly an original observation of course. But I was prompted to again consider it after the "p*ssy hat priest" incident of a few days ago. Fr. William Lugger, a priest in Lansing, Michigan, donned a "p*ssy hat" - the favored protest accessory of the recent Women's Marches last Saturday - during his homily at the altar, and posted a picture of it on his Facebook page.

I think it's fair to say that virtually all of his Facebook friends, many of whom are parishioners in his Church, saw nothing wrong and everything right with what "Fr. Bill" did. Most comments were in the nature of "You go, Fr. Bill." When one critic asked him what he thought he was doing, Fr. Bill responded: "Preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ." He got a lot of "likes" for that.



As vile as the whole thing is and was, I think the real tragedy is that Lugger is merely an extreme example of what is now the norm in many parishes. While it's true that some parishes have liberal FrancisChurch priests imposing their agenda on more orthodox laypeople, in the majority of parishes, the audience digs it, as it were.

The "religious experience" of many Catholics is this: one goes to church once a week, where one's buddy, Fr. X (usually one syllable), gives a homily alluding to the social justice issue of the day, backed up by passages from the Bible. Framing the homily are various chants and songs and a ritual meal sharing to mark the fact that everyone is on the same page.

Indeed, the point of churchgoing is to mark the shared experience and give everyone a motivational lift for the next six days, just as would happen every Monday at the NGO's all-staff meeting.

There are other rituals and gatherings that occasionally come up. Some are officially called "sacraments," some are fried bologna lunches (see Fr. Lugger's Facebook page), or whatever. These also, are essentially bonding sessions for members and staff.



And of course, amidst it all is the collection of money, ostensibly for the "programs" that the Church is constantly advertising. As with many NGO's, 90% of the proceeds go to administrative expenses. But that's okay, it's the intention that's the most important thing. Everyone in the organization cares. Everyone's on the same page.

I've just described the experience of many Catholics at "the bottom." But let's look now at "the top" of the organization.

The CEO is called "the Pope." As with many NGO CEO's, much of his goal is to motivate the staffers and represent the organization positively to outsiders. In performing these duties, stories from the Bible are often used and Jesus is mentioned often. Usually, the context is to support a particular program or set of programs or buck up the staff. Sometimes the stories are used to highlight the fact that the organization has enemies, both within and without, and supporters should be watchful of them. The programs are too important to allow politically-motivated opponents to destroy them. 

Why would someone work for or be a member of such an NGO? There are many reasons. It makes one feel good. It's a way to be useful and help others. Despite the general trend towards secularization, working for the Church still has a certain prestige, The pay is sometimes not so great, but coupled with the perks, the package can often be pretty good, especially at the upper administrative levels. Then there are other things. It's an open-secret that many join so they can have romantic relationships with the "natives." This is of course officially prohibited, but it has proved difficult to stamp out.

This transformation of the perception of the Catholic Church from a transcendent institution into just another liberal NGO has been going on for some time, but it has obviously accelerated under Pope Francis. Let me suggest that if you're trying to explain the crisis of the modern church to an outsider - say, a non-Catholic or non-Christian - it's the best way to explain it. They simply won't understand what you're talking about if you bring up "modernism" or "the magisterium" or whatever.

It's not that the modern Catholic Church has taken God out, per se. God (and his more PR-friendly son, Jesus) is still invoked often. He of course is the real CEO, and He wants to spur you on in your efforts to help migrants and battle climate change and keep the local food bank going. You get a big thanks from Him every Sunday. You're part of an elite team - unlike the others who don't care. He'll even pick you up when you fall down, etc. etc. and all that.


***********************

The above may seem like a criticism of liberal politics or liberal activism. Actually it's not. Obviously, the Church shouldn't be about liberal politics. But it shouldn't be about conservative politics or conservative activism either - though it goes without saying that sometimes the Church can and should at least to some extent become involved in what some may classify as "political issues."

To put it directly, God didn't walk the Earth 2,000 years ago, and then suffer, die and rise again to rid the world of ____ (insert your favorite liberal - or conservative - social or political problem).

I'm not basing that claim on scripture. I'm basing it on logic. If God did have that purpose, then He spectacularly failed. And as a Catholic, I obviously believe that God cannot fail.

Jesus didn't die for women's rights. Since (at least according to women's rights activists), women still don't have full rights, then if He had done so, Christianity would be just about the most pathetic botch of a religion ever.

Rather He died to save women from sin.

Men, too.

And no, I don't mean He died to create a world (right now, in this life) where all women were the perfection of virtue (not that there's anything wrong and everything right about striving for or encouraging that). He died to save those who aren't the perfection of virtue from the consequences.

Fr. Bill, the p*ssy hat priest, may once have known that. But it's clear he's forgotten it by now. And there are thousands of priests who are just like him, even though they may have never covered their heads with a disgusting cap.

For them, the modern Church is nothing but an NGO. The tragedy is that, at least in a certain sense, they're partially correct.

But don't misunderstand. As far as I'm aware, for all his sacrilege, Fr. Bill still has the power, acting in the person of Christ, to among other things, Consecrate the Host and forgive sins. The Consecration still occurs, whether anyone still realizes it or not. But, at least as far as forgiveness of sins is concerned, I would doubt he exercises that power for more than a few minutes a week, if that. He's too busy "preaching the Gospel" (as he sees it) and hanging out with the natives at fried bologna lunches.

If I Were Transgender, I Would BE Steven Crowder



Dissident YouTube journalist Steven Crowder crashed the Women's March Sister March in Austin, Texas.

The 200+ pound male presenter wore a wig and a pink dress. Crowder pretended to be a man pretending to be a woman.

That's actually not that hard to do these days, especially within a "women's march."

Think about that for a moment.

Crowder scored an interview (in drag) with Texas pro-abortion politician Wendy Davis. They seemed to have a thing going when they laughingly agreed about the political power of women shoppers.

"Charge it!" (as Crowder reminds us Wilma Flintstone and Betty Rubble would cry).  

Crowder also ingratiated himself into a group of topless feminists seemingly attached to a float. They all posed for a bicep photograph together. Crowder pointed out another guy who had also ingratiated himself into the topless group. The guy claimed to be gay but didn't look gay. Whatever works, man.

People used to think that a man pretending to be a woman was funny. Generations of people watching movies or television shows from Some Like it Hot to Monty Python found it funny.

Now, it's not funny. Not funny at all. Laugh and we'll "out" you as a Trump supporter.

One brilliant thing in the video is how Crowder gets all his left-wing "comrades" to laugh. The ideologue who claims all white people are really "white supremacists" cracks a smile. The  Muslim women in the hijab who can't quite formulate why she dislikes Trump, beams at Crowder's infectious good-will.

We're all just people. Why can't we all get along?

Because the left won't let us.

HORRIFIC FLASHBACK: Muslim Parents Pour Acid Over Their Daughter for "Looking at a Boy."

She murdered her daughter for "honor"

This happened four-years ago in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir.

While this case is obviously extreme, honor killings and acid attacks against women by family members are fairly common in Pakistan, with thousands of them occurring each year.

One assumes these crimes are usually carried out by men. What makes this particular one even more horrific (if that's even possible) is that in this case, the mother seems to have been an equally guilty party. Indeed, she appears to have been the instigator.

Why so many families in Pakistan - many of them quite poor - have powerful acid stored in their homes is an interesting side question. 

There is so much horror in this news report - that terrible spot on the floor marking the location of the attack, the fact that the parents didn't even attempt to take their daughter to the hospital but rather hid her away as she suffered in agony, the grieving children, most of whom had no idea why their parents and sister were being taken away - the parents to prison, the sister to a hospital where she would later die.

And then of course, there's the almost calm expression on the mother's face as she matter-of-factly describes what happened and shows-off the splash burns on her arm:
Her mother Zaheen described the aftermath: "She (her daughter) said 'I didn't do it on purpose. I won't look again.' By then I had already thrown the acid. It was her destiny to die this way."
This young woman was murdered by her own parents for looking at a boy.

But I guarantee that those carrying the pro-Islam placards and signs at the recent Women's March do not "remember her name."

It was Anusha.

Pat Condell: "Feminists are such incorrigible whores to Islam. No offense."

Nice girls don't defend sharia

Pat Condell is always righteous. But this five-minute monologue about feminism and Islam is particularly good.

As an extra "treat," I have also attached a one-minute clip of "P**ssy Grabs Back" feminists at a German rally, doing the Allah-Akbar chant to a cheering crowd.

Condell calls it hypocrisy, which of course it is. But in turn, that prompts the question of why?

My feeling is that modern feminism isn't really about women's rights, just as the modern movement to promote and collaborate with Islam isn't about religious or human rights.

Rather, they're both merely about hatred. And one of the things feminism and Islam have in common is that they both embody hatred towards the same set of things - Christian values, liberal (in the good sense) values, tolerance and yes, even that much abused concept, diversity.

A Christian might sum it up by saying they both hate Christ. A non-Christian might sum it up by saying they both hate life.

We're both right.

EXCLUSIVE: Shadilay! Pepe the Frog Hacks Women's March


UPDATE (3:25 PM CST): The hack is no more.

Today, thousands of fema-fascistos from all over the country descended on Washington for the post-inauguration "Women's March."

It's the Frumpsters vs. the Trumpsters.

They're marching against racial profiling, racist cops, abortion restrictions, climate change and Islamophobia. They're marching for Indians, unions, immigrants, transgenders, artists, Chicanas and endangered sea creatures.



I'm not sure why "Women" is in the title. Maybe it's just a marketing thing.   

The Women's March also has over 600 "Sister Marches" in all fifty states and many countries. Indeed, all seven continents are covered, with "eco-visitors" on an expedition ship actually holding two "marches" in the Ross Sea and the Antarctic Peninsula.



There's also a march in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Or so it seems.

This intrigued me when I saw it on the map. You can organize a leftist "Women's March" in Saudi Arabia? You can really do that?

But if one clicks through from the official site of the march, one finds that the Women's Sister March Riyadh is labeled "Shadilay - build the wall" and has a smiling and dancing Pepe the frog as its mascot. The Event was created by "Pepe The Frog" from "Pidgin, Saudi Arabia."

Pepe the Frog and his slogan "Shadilay" are surrealist alt-right pro-Trump memes.





The email contact for the march is a certain aaminah.hakim@aol.com. Hakim was actually interviewed three days ago for Romper:
"My friends and I have want to help the American women on their march against Donald Trump," wrote Aaminah Hakim, organizer of the Riyadh, Saudi Arabia sister march. "Unfortunately, we do not live in America; making us not able to match alongside the American women. But we can still march in solidarity with you! As of now, only a total of four of us (this including me) will march, but we hope to go as high as 1,000." More than 800 people have registered for the Riyadh march thus far.
Either Hakim is a sly Saudi-Arabian pro-Trump provocateur, or her particular page was hacked by Pepe. Either way, seeing Pepe the Frog dance a jig across Women's March Riyadh is very funny.

Of course, Islam is not very funny, especially for women. And people who march for women's rights while also marching for an ideology that is currently denying rights to hundreds of millions of women are also not very funny.

But that doesn't mean we can't laugh at them.

Shadilay.
