The co-opted patriotic Grinch loves Christmas.  More than that, he loves offending people by saying "Merry Christmas" *and* saluting the flag.  Take that, leftist Whos!

Does he sneak into our houses at night and put Christmas Tree and American flags inside?

Only if doing so will offend you.

But what if the leftist Whos, the large and the small, are offended without any Christmas Trees or American Flags at all?

From "The Grinch Voted for Trump":

The Grinch hated Leftists! So much he condoned treason!
Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.
It could be his head wasn't screwed on just right.
It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight.
But I think that the most likely reason of all
May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.

Like they say, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Right about what? Underpaid doctors? Farmers who don't get subsidies? Poor plumbers?

None of those were claims made in the graphic.

It's a bit fundamentalist, at any rate. "We can do without entertainment."

I think they tried that in Afghanistan. :hmm:

:secret:

Decapitations and lapidation.  :osama:
Bonus : edification of the masses

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I've seen this "$3900 for muslim immigrants" floating around a fair bit recently. Best I can tell it might originate from a misrepresented Canada story from 2013 or so?

Obama cell?


It is a program that came around before Obama (like many decades before Obama) to subsidize phone service for the poor. Not sure why it gets linked to Obama, he had nothing to do with it.

During the height of the immigration crisis a few years back we rented out a house. It was a proper, quite big house in the countryside.

We got a few mails from immigrants and they listed their income. It quite disgusted me how much money they got from the state and how much they were able to pay. Several of the families, with typically 3-5 kids, got more money monthly than we earned at the time.

Now, I assume that that money was temporary assistance to be able to set up a home in a new country and so on, but still, it rankled me.
