True Snark from the Babylon Bee

2017_11 07 Babylon Bee

ATLANTA, GA—According to sources close to local 32-year-old John Rettner, the man recently stated that “praying doesn’t help anything,” while his own idea of helping is just trolling under activist hashtags on Facebook and Twitter.

After every national tragedy and disaster, the man can be seen making fun of those offering “thoughts and prayers” while the only thing he himself has ever contributed to help those in need is his Facebook posts, sources confirmed.

“All your guys’ thoughts and prayers don’t do anything,” he wrote in a lengthy rant online. “Unlike you religious plebs, I’m committed to help out my fellow man by calling people names on social media.”

The man’s generous aid package for those hurt in recent tragedies has included “savage” memes mocking those who offer to pray for the victims, brutal comebacks on religious family members’ posts, and utilizing popular hashtags to self-righteously promote his positions on social issues.

“We can’t just sit around offering thoughts and prayers. We have to take action by attacking people online,” he said later.

Pray Hard

It’s horrifying that 26 were killed and about 20 more wounded in a mass shooting at a Texas Baptist church. What makes it seem even worse to me is that this town is TINY, about 400 residents. Back in 1996, we suffered the brutal butchering of two teen girls by a neighbor who had a wife and small son. The girls went to our church; my girls were in youth group with them. Our whole community was devastated and the fallout for that group of teens was felt years later as some continued to suffer and succumb to alcoholism and suicide. Our village has about 3,500 souls. I truly cannot imagine the impact this far bigger trauma will have on this far smaller community. My heart is breaking for them.

The Trump Economy

DEM response to GOP

Unless the Rapture comes soon, we’re all going to die. At least in TRUMP’S economy, we’ll have JOBS while we wait, so we can pay for our OWN food and housing and healthcare.

Newt Gingrich: “The left-wing media and the elites never seem to tire of being wrong.”

New York Post editorial board: The House Republicans tax-cut plan “meets the nation’s needs” and “offers the relief for business and the middle class needed to get the economy roaring.”

The unemployment rate is at 4.1%, the lowest level since December 2000 and below the 4.2% that economists predicted.

US services sector saw record growth in October and the data point to continued strength in the months ahead.

FALSE: Democrats claim the GOP tax plan cause “families making less than $86,100 on average will face a hefty tax hike.” The TRUTH is the exact opposite.

Babylon Bee Speaks Out on Pro-Life Hypocrisy

ABORTION Killing Puppies

Hypocrisy is everywhere.

Take, for example, those who oppose the wholesale killing of puppies. The anti-puppy-killing crowd is loud and obnoxious, self-righteously declaring themselves to be “pro-life.”

Yet their love for the puppies only goes so far.

See, they want to defend puppies from being killed when they’re very young, but do you see them offering to adopt every dog on the entire planet?

I didn’t think so. These pro-puppy activists are only in support of dogs when people are killing them, but once they grow up, they’re all on their own. What are we supposed to do with all these dogs if not heinously kill them? I don’t see you pro-puppy people offering to take on more than one or two of them!

I’ll state it very clearly: you are not allowed to call yourself “pro-puppy” unless you agree to adopt every dog on the planet.

It’s just that simple.

Fusion GPS’ Dirty Tricks

2017_11 Fusion GPS smear

  • In 2016, when Hillary was battling Trump, Fusion GPS produced the famous “Russian Dossier” of lies to smear Trump.
  • In 2015, when Planned Parenthood was reeling from the release of the damning undercover “baby parts” videos, Fusion GPS was hired to falsely damn the videos as deceptively edited. They weren’t anything of the kind as anyone who cared to could see for themselves, since the full, unedited videos were all posted on-line.*

In both cases, the MSM cooperated in slinging Fusion GPS’s mud.

Smearing someone with lies is illegal. Back in Watergate days, Nixon’s “Dirty Tricks” operatives went to jail for it. Here’s hoping at least some of the people at Fusion GPS find themselves in orange jumpsuits sooner rather than later.

*Fusion GPS has no known qualifications in the field of forensic video analysis. The same videos were analyzed by Coalfire Systems, Inc., experts in the field of information technology auditing. Their findings were diametrically opposite from the Fusion GPS pulp fiction manufactured to discredit the videos.

Humming the Twilight Zone theme

From MRC: “If you ever want to do something dangerous and risky, you could try following the logic of Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas.

“Wednesday on the House floor she started talking about taxes, which turned into criticizing President Trump for “politicizing” yesterday’s terror attack in New York, then led to references to the Civil War and the NFL and concluded with her taking a knee for “justice.”

“This is a strange journey, so hold on tight.”
