Last Friday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order barring immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States for 90 days. The order also suspended all refugee admissions for 120 days.
The backlash against this controversial command has been monumental. Protesters took to streets across the US, heads of state and titans of industry vocally rebuked Trump's actions.
While the President himself took the bulk of criticism over the ban, J.K. Rowling took aim at his second-in-command, Mike Pence, drawing attention to the former Governor of Indiana's words in December 2015:
Which she followed up with a quote from the Gospel of Matthew:
Rowling faced some backlash of her own for the tweet, which she responded to in a similarly sharp manner:
Some followers found other sections of the bible more fitting:
The "Harry Potter" author has long been a vocal opponent of Trump both throughout the campaign and into his presidency.
In December 2015, she said Voldemort was "nowhere near as bad" as the then-presidential candidate.
Following his win in November, Rowling tweeted her nine million followers saying " We stand together. We stick up for the vulnerable. We challenge bigots. We don't let hate speech become normalised. We hold the line."
What did good ole JK write about Obama blocking Iraqis in 2011???
I though she was a UK citizen. Does anyone give a rat’s backside what a fantasy writer in the UK thinks? Anyone? I know I don’t.
She, who became fabulously wealthy writing demonic stories aimed at children, has the temerity to quote scripture?
Who cares what this foreign national thinks ???
I don’t take the opinions of the writer of witchcraft fiction to be creditable anyway..
She’s an annoying foreigner. She has no say in any of this.
This woman is from the UK, a country which gift wrapped and presented itself to Muzzlimes it indiscriminately let in. Who is she to take us to task for trying to prevent the same thing from happening to us?
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?Protecting the USA from a religion that does want to take over the whole world; how does this apply, or is she even sure of what she is trying to say?
Always using God’s word out of
context like
mindless rationalizing robots
Anyone looking to this woman for understanding of anything Biblical is going to be sorely disappointed. She’ll be manipulative with passages taken out of context in order to support the leftist political cause du jour, nothing more.
How does one shame her? Throwing quotes form Marx or Gramsci at her?
The devil can cite scripture for his purpose.

That’s what I thought.
Let the women libs move the Pakistan, Saudi, Iran or Afghanistan and truly experience Islam.
Their opinion will change quickly.
How Losing My Political Values Helped Me Gain My Freedom
.
There’s a frustrating game that the left plays with conservatives. It’s an Alinksy tactic called, “Make them live up to their values.” Now, living up to one’s values isn’t a bad thing, but setting high standards ultimately means that you’ll sometimes fall short.
.
The left loves to exploit these shortcomings—every Christian who falls short of perfection is a hypocrite; the social values candidate you voted for just got arrested for drunk driving. Haha, everything you believe and advocate is now discredited.
.
They got away with it for years, waving away the lies, hypocrisy, indiscretions, and criminal behavior from their own politicians while beating the right mercilessly with the missteps of their own. It’s effective because the right always maintains a baseline of integrity not displayed by the left, as evidenced by comparing what happens to Republican politicians when they’re caught in criminal behavior with what happens to Democrats. Republican voters and politicians reluctantly dump the malefactor while Democrats defend their guy and launch an offensive against those who demand accountability.
.
And then came along Trump, a guy just ripe for demonization by the left. I think it’s fair to say that even his early supporters worried that the Democrats would successfully make him toxic to the general voting public with his boorish behavior, vulgarity, multiple bankruptcies and very public divorces.
.
But something strange happened. Not only did Donald Trump not care about attacks on his character, neither did anyone else. We saw this new paradigm assert itself over and over during the primary throughout repeated media predictions that this time he’s gone to far and he’s cooked.
.
This same indifference that helped Trump carry the election has continued into the early days of his administration. With it comes a refreshingly freeing state of mind. Personally, I don’t feel in any way responsible for Trump, nor do I feel compelled to defend him against attack.
.
Why? Because I voted for retribution.
.
“He’s think-skinned and petty!” shrieks the left. “He takes everything personally!”
.
Good, I say. I want him to take attacks personally and deal out payback. I know I won’t be the target, you will be.
.
“He’s unpresidential! He’ll destroy the integrity of the office!”
.
No, that’s already happened. Remember, you elected a shit-talking jackass who takes selfies at state funerals when he’s not giving stealth middle fingers to his opponents during debates. There is no dignity of the office, not after Clinton and Obama.
.
“He’s a narcissist! He’s got totalitarian impulses!”
.
Yes, he’s basically a mirror version of Obama. Except now, he’ll be working for what I want. The end justifies the means. You taught me that.
.
“A sitting president going after the media. OMG!”
.
Oh, like Obama trashing Rush Limbaugh and Fox News? How about when he sent his lackeys to berate news reporters for failure to flatter him at all times. Oh, and NSA spying on the press. That was pretty great, too.
.
“He won’t show his taxes!”
.
Don’t care. Where are Obama’s college transcripts, by the way?
.
“He’s a bully! Is this what you want? Someone who uses his power to bully other people?!!!”
.
And this is where everything funnels down to the very nexus of my change in attitude from “Do unto others” to “I will do unto you what you do unto me.”
.
It’s two words: Memories Pizza.
.
It was that moment that everything changed for me—not only the harassment, fake Yelp reviews and the death threats that forced them to temporarily close up shop—oh, that was bad enough, but the most powerful man on Earth bullying a couple of small town pizza owners from Indiana simply for expressing an opinion on a hypothetical asked of them by a reporter with a malicious agenda? That was when I snapped.
.
Do you remember?
.
It’s this that sent me to a place from which I’ll never return. I literally don’t care what Donald Trump does because nothing he can do is worse than what they’ve already done.
.
Donald Trump isn’t the bully; he only insults and abuses people in power who have attacked him. They’re the fucking bullies. The left, with their smears, their witch hunts, their slanders, their insults, their riots, their violence, and their weaponizing of the federal bureaucracy.
.
There aren’t any rules anymore because the left only applies them one way. And in doing so, they’ve left what once was a civil compact between the two parties in smoldering ruins.
.
I have no personal investment in Donald Trump. He is a tool to punish the left and roll back their ill-gotten gains, no more and no less. If he succeeds even partially in those two things, then I’ll consider his election a win.
.
Further, I no longer have any investment in any particular political values, save one: The rules created by the left will be applied to the left as equally and punitively as they have applied them to the right. And when they beg for mercy, I’ll begin to reconsider. Or maybe not. Because fuck these people.
.
This new philosophy has freed me of more emotional angst that I can describe. Literally nothing the left says or does matters to me anymore. I don’t care about their tantrums. I don’t care about their accusations. I don’t care if they say Trump is lying. I don’t care if Trump is lying.
.
They created this Frankenstein. They own it. I am free of all obligation. I will never play defense again. I will attack, attack, attack, attack using their own tactics against them until they learn their lesson.
.
What I will not do is let them play my values against me ever again. I don’t need to prove that I’m better than them. I already know it.
.
