RAQQA, Syria — The self-proclaimed Islamic State has issued a statement condemning self-proclaimed comedian Kathy Griffin, accusing her of “cultural appropriation” after she posed for a photograph with a mock severed head of President Donald Trump.
The group, which has been protective of its brand ever since taking over vast swaths of Iraq and Syria and establishing itself as the premier beheading agency in the Middle East, said it was deeply disturbed by Griffin’s “ignorant and offensive” use of a “sacred Islamic State tradition.”
“This is just another example of a privileged white woman culturally appropriating the proud custom of a marginalized people. Beheadings are our thing, not your thing,” said the statement, which was released on Telegram.
Reports indicate that ISIS was at least somewhat relieved to see the swift and overwhelming backlash against Griffin on social media.
“Of course, the West’s social justice ‘warriors’ have always been our ally, and once again, they did not disappoint. We’re thankful that our fatwa friends immediately identified her offensive appropriation of one of our most cherished rituals,” said Aahil al-Raqqa, an executioner for the group.
According to sources close to the matter, it wasn’t simply Griffin’s portrayal of a beheading that was offensive, but also her lack of attention to detail to such a definitive aspect of ISIS culture.
“The face was so bloodied you could hardly see it,” al-Raqqa said. “Who does that?” he asked, adding that the point of displaying heads is so the media could identify the beheaded.
“She might as well have held up some plastic model head with a toupee and a lot of ketchup. This is even worse than when the Oberlin cafeteria served that pathetic excuse for Ban Mhi, or when those two American chicks in Portland stole burrito recipes from some poor abuelas down in Rosarito.”
“I think that I shall never see
a skank as vile as Kathy G.”
–Pistol Pete, 2017
This is my original thought for this year. Stay tuned for 2018, I may come up with another one by then.
Granny always told me, “When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.” Apparently this red-haired pig never had a granny.
Her press conference alongside Gloria Allred’s kid was an unmitigated disaster. The fake apology quickly degenerated into a Hillary-like blame everybody else session.
Kathy Griffin Apologizes for Gruesome Trump Photo but Backlash Builds The question is: What ever made Griffin and photographer Tyler Shields think that it was acceptable, or even funny, for Griffin to pose as an Islamic State terrorist would, holding what looked to be the hacked-off head of a U.S. president?
It is clear that the photo — posted Tuesday on TMZ — was not a spontaneous gaffe. Griffin and Shields produced a video about the production in which Griffin joked, “We have to go to Mexico. Because we’re going to prison, federal prison.”
Since Trump won in November, he has been the brunt of hostile salvos lobbed by left-leaning entertainers. At a women’s march following Trump’s inauguration, Madonna confessed, “Yes, I’m angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.” Her remarks barely registered on cable news’ registry.
But when Republicans target Democrats in less direct fashion, they can be accused of inciting violence. Griffin herself assailed former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin for releasing a map with targeted congressional districts in crosshairs. When a madman shot and critically wounded Rep. Gabby Giffords, D-Ariz., whose district was in the map, Griffin tweeted, “Happy now Sarah?”
[CtH: The Gifford shooter also proved to be a Democrat who had volunteered on Gifford’s campaign.]
Total elapsed time from severed head to “he broke me”: Three. Whole. Days.
Griffin wanted the image of the severed head to go viral, and it did — along with Griffin’s perpetration of the image. If Griffin’s career is over, it will have ended due to her own suicidal act and not due to pressure from the Trumps. You live by the meme, you die by the meme.
Kathy Griffin: Donald Trump is ‘messing with the wrong redhead’ “Kathy has made a decision,” Bloom said. “She is not going to stop speaking out for women, LGBT rights, vets and others. She will continue to be the fierce, brutally honest “she-ro” that millions love. She will continue to push the edges of our comfort level, to challenge us and make us think.”
Plus, as Griffin reminded reporters, “I’m not good at being appropriate. I’m going to make fun of him more now.”
Kathy Griffin: The First Family Is ‘Trying to Ruin My Life Forever’
“A sitting president of the United States and his grown children and the first lady are personally—I feel—personally trying to ruin my life forever. Forever,” the comic said. “You guys know him, he’s never going to stop.”
Flashback – Kathy Griffin: ‘Happy to Deliver Beat Down’ to Barron Trump THAT’S IT…PICK A FIGHT WITH AN 11 YEAR OLD BOY.
“It’s not about trying to be an equal-opportunity offender anymore because Hillary got such a beat down. It’s his turn. So I’m happy to deliver beat down to Donald Trump — and also to Barron,” Griffin told Vulture at the Equality Now Gala on December 9.
.@kathygriffin admitted in December that she was going after Barron Trump. Now she’s crying misogyny at the direction of @LisaBloom. Moron.
Her attorney tried to claim that Kathy Griffin said she would go after Barron “years ago”. Years ago?? She said it on December 9, 2016. It hasn’t even been six months. Not “years ago”, moron. If it was “years ago”, Barron would have been a much younger child and it would have been that much worse.
Kathy Griffin Gets the Ax From Last Theater in Comedy Tour
HEY, KATHY… PICK UP A BIBLE, ANY BIBLE. IT’S OK, YOU WON’T BURST INTO FLAME. FIND THE PART THAT SAYS: ‘WHATSOEVER YE SOW, THAT SHALL YE ALSO REAP.’GET IT YET???
Kathy Griffin’s offensive against Donald Trump Friday apparently fell on deaf ears … because the only remaining venue that would allow her to perform has just pulled the plug.
We’ve learned Kathy’s concert at the Uptown Theatre in Napa scheduled for June 17 has been canceled. This follows 6 other cancellations, including bergenPAC in New Jersey which canceled hours before Kathy’s news conference.
The Uptown Theatre cancellation is especially significant because the decision was apparently made after she took the mic with her lawyer. The Uptown folks said on Wednesday the show would go on, but they clearly had a change of heart.
Kathy Griffin says she’s been contacted by Secret Service RELAX, SWEETIE — LIBERALS NEVER GET PUNISHED FOR ANYTHING.
Her criminal defense attorney, Dmitry Gorin, said the fact that Griffin is being investigated by the Secret Service over a joke is “outrageous.”
“The Secret Service is going its job, I suppose,” he said, adding that he expects the probe to be closed quickly and Griffin to be cleared.
Griffin’s ‘Trump’ beheading in PAC ad for special election: ‘Liberals will go to any extreme’A battle between Republican Karen Handel and Democrat Jon Ossoff for Georgia’s 6th Congressional District heated up this week with an Islamic State-like execution photo shoot by Ms. Griffin. A Republican super PAC, Congressional Leadership Fund, released an ad Thursday tying Mr. Ossoff to his “celebrity supporter.”
“These angry liberals will go to any extreme to elect Jon Ossoff,” a narrator in the ad says. “There’s a reason 95 percent of Ossoff’s campaign donors are out-of-state liberals.”
Tucker Carlson: Kathy Griffin Is the ‘Perfect Embodiment of What the Modern Left Believes’
WELL WORTH THE 5 MINUTES
As performance art, it was lame, least creative stunt of the week by far. As a political statement it didn’t even make any sense but it did have the effect of briefly making Griffin famous again and of course, that was likely the whole point. Today, Griffin elbowed her way back into the news cycle holding a press conference with celebrity misery chaser Lisa Bloom.
Carrie Gress writes about how Atheistic Progressives sponsor a large Anti-Mary element, while Muslim Fundamentalists target Christians and Jews.
“The antimary and this new antichristian movement are opposite sides of the same demonic coin.The two came together with Kathy Griffin’s beheading stunt this week.
“They share a common mission: to eliminate all that is good, true, beautiful, and holy. …
“There is a third alternative, however, that offers hope and a future. Christians must return to their faith and to the spiritual elements that we know destroy Christ’s enemy.
“As I wrote in The Marian Option: God’s Solution to a Civilization in Crisis, after 2000 years, we know what these are: Mass, Eucharistic adoration, the Rosary, confession, Marian consecration. We know these things work.
“And there is more than enough evidence that Mary has been behind the vanquishing of Christian enemies for centuries. It is time we call upon her again to conquer all that is opposed to her and to her Son.”
Dennis Prager wrote a column at National Review, “Why Conservatives Still Attack Trump”, which says in part:
I have concluded that there are a few reasons that explain conservatives who were Never-Trumpers during the election, and who remain anti-Trump today. The first and, by far, the greatest reason is this: They do not believe that America is engaged in a civil war, with the survival of America as we know it at stake. While they strongly differ with the Left, they do not regard the left–right battle as an existential battle for preserving our nation. On the other hand, I, and other conservative Trump supporters, do.
To my amazement, no anti-Trump conservative writer sees it that way. They all thought during the election, and still think, that while it would not have been a good thing if Hillary Clinton had won, it wouldn’t have been a catastrophe either. That’s it, in a nutshell….
In other words, I believe that Donald Trump may have saved the country. And that, in my book, covers a lot of sins — foolish tweets, included.
William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection has a long piece about what Prager said, how Never Trumpers responded and what his own position is. It’s interesting reading if you have the time.
Los Feliz Daycare(motto: “We do not accept immunized children”) is an ultra-progressive child care center in an unspecified affluent neighborhood on the left coast. Some recent tweets:
Sometimes it appears Trump gets a sadistic kind of pleasure making liberals lose their minds. He announced yesterday the United States is pulling out of the phony climate agreement made by the FORMER preezy, who pledged billions of US taxpayer dollars to help third world toilets “fight the scourge of climate change.” China, by the way, has pledged zero dollars. Not dime one, and they along with India are two of the biggest polluters on the planet.
Predictably, the left is in total meltdown, since the climate hoax is one of their sacred cows. All these dumbasses are convinced the world will erupt in flames tomorrow. It would be humorous were it not so pathetic.
DIANNY’S TAKE, FROM PATRIOT RETORT:
I wanted to say a few things about President Trump’s decision to pull out of the Paris Climate Accord — AKA the World’s attempt to extort American taxpayers while killing American jobs.
But first, I thought I’d take you on a little trip down memory lane.
Come with me to late 2015, my friends.
Journey with me to Paris when these world leaders were playing Barack Obama like a cheap banjo.
Instead of representing the people of the United States, Obama bent over backwards and let these countries extort us with wild abandon.
And during a Paris press conference, Obama had this exchange with a reporter:
This “Paris Climate Accord” has nothing to do with saving the planet.
In ditching Paris deal, Trump does right by America and the world
In quitting the Paris Accord, President Trump on Thursday did nothing to shift the course of US environmental policy — not even on carbon emissions. But he did put the world on notice that no president can unilaterally commit this nation to such far-reaching agreements.
The Constitution is clear: No treaty is binding on the US government unless ratified by the Senate. That tanked the Kyoto Protocol, a 1997 anti-warming treaty that the Senate rejected 95-0. And it would’ve killed the Paris deal that President Obama signed in 2016 — except that his negotiators shaped an “agreement” that wouldn’t go to the Senate.
Trump: Time to Put Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania Before Paris
President Donald Trump gave a shout-out to the “forgotten” industrial heartland that delivered him the White House as he announced America’s unilateral withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accords Thursday.
“I was elected to help the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris,” Trump told those gathered in the White House Rose Garden, as he gave a forceful economic-nationalist condemnation of the global climate agreement, under which the United States is to meet progressively lower caps on certain emissions while subsidizing developing countries in the hope they do the same.
HERE THEY COME, RIGHT ON CUE:
‘Traitorous Act of War’: Liberals Angrily React to Trump Pulling Out of Paris Agreement
Billionaire environmentalist and Democratic donor Tom Steyer even said that Trump’s actions were an act of war against the American people.
COMPLETE LEFTIST MELTDOWN After Trump Dumps Paris Climate Accord

THE SMOKE YOU SMELL IS OBAMA’S LEGACY OF TYRANNY GOING UP IN FLAMES
Democrats Plot ‘Revolution’ To Circumvent Trump’s Paris Decision
THAT’S FINE; THEY WON’T DO IT WITH FEDERAL MONEY.
New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio vowed to issue an executive order soon to honor the goals of the Paris accord, which is to keep future global warming below 2 degrees Celsius.
Democratic governors of California, New York and Washington also announced the creation of the United States Climate Alliance. Govs. Jerry Brown, Andrew Cuomo and Jay Inslee all vowed to meet the Paris Agreement goals.
“We will not ignore the science and reality of climate change which is why I am also signing an Executive Order confirming New York’s leadership role in protecting our citizens, our environment, and our planet,” Cuomo said.
Environmentalists Call Trump’s Trashing Of Global Warming Deal A ‘Suicide Note For Earth’
“Donald Trump [is] issuing a suicide note for the rest of the world, including, ultimately, for the people of the United States, as well,” Kumi Naidoo, the former head of Greenpeace, told Democracy Now in an interview Thursday.
Trump announced Thursday he would withdraw the U.S. from the Paris accord, but he also said the U.S. may rejoin the agreement if they can get a fair deal. Environmentalists were still freaking out.
The question is: What ever made Griffin and photographer Tyler Shields think that it was acceptable, or even funny, for Griffin to pose as an Islamic State terrorist would, holding what looked to be the hacked-off head of a U.S. president?
“Kathy has made a decision,” Bloom said. “She is not going to stop speaking out for women, LGBT rights, vets and others. She will continue to be the fierce, brutally honest “she-ro” that millions love. She will continue to push the edges of our comfort level, to challenge us and make us think.”
THAT’S IT…PICK A FIGHT WITH AN 11 YEAR OLD BOY.
What a wonderful day for the American worker!
