The MSM Faces the Truth About Sweden
PJ Media ^ | 26 Jan 2018 | Bruce Bawer

Posted on 01/26/2018 3:16:27 PM PST by Rummyfan

Every day since he began running for president, the international media have scoured Donald Trump's statements and actions in search of something to mock. One day last February, they fastened on an unscripted remark he made at a rally in Florida. “We’ve got to keep our country safe,” he told the crowd. “You look at what’s happening in Germany, you look at what’s happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this? Sweden. They took in large numbers. They’re having problems like they never thought possible.”

Trump went on to mention Brussels, Nice, and Paris, the sites of recent terrorist attacks. But the media zeroed in on Sweden, because Trump had made it sound as if something specific and terrible, some act of terrorism or Muslim gang crime or some such thing, had happened in that country the night before. As it happened, that was not the case. “There were questions,” reported the Guardian, “about whether Trump had confused Sweden with Sehwan in Pakistan, where more than 85 people were killed in a suicide bombing at the Sufi shrine on Thursday.” The Guardian also cited dubious Swedish statistics purportedly indicating that crime levels in Sweden had been stable for a long time.

I guess we can add Sweden to the list of Officially Acknowledged shitholes.

DJT has a finger on the pulse of the world that’s a lot more sensitive than the leftmedia would like to admit.

I worked and lived in the Middle East, Oman. In Oman I abide by their rules and customs. It was their country and not mine. If one from the Middle East can not do the same in Western Nations, they should not be here.

Scripture is clear - there will be an antiChristian world under the Antichrist (sounds redundant).

No, I never expect them to give up. Until the Messiah makes His Second Coming.

Frankly, knowing all this, I am still stunned (beeber!) by all that I’m seeing. How easily the liberals feed on the hate. It’s remarkable and disturbing.

And they embrace Islam. That will make for an interesting mix when the gloves come off. There won’t be enough popcorn available. And the liberals will be shocked, wondering what could have gone wrong.

I believe in the right of self defense.

Which includes protecting others (like protection from the guy in Oklahoma that cut a woman’s head off with a sword - they shot him to death - but too late to save her).

Islam and liberals will set the world on fire.

If the world's firemen aren't morally prepared, at some critical moment, to extinguish them, totalitarian barbarism will consume civilization.

What can you say about a country so delusional that they saw nothing problematic with importing this mindset by the thousand?

I remember Trump’s speech and it was perfectly clear to me that he was referring to the Swedish societal collapse due to immigrant problems not a specific terrorist incident the night before.
