What was Trump’s biggest persuasion problem in the election? Answer: His opponents did a great job of framing him as some kind of Hitler. Do a Google search on Trump and Hitler and you get an avalanche of comparisons. It was sticky persuasion, and it still hangs over the country like a chorus of stale farts. I’ve said before that half the country believe they are living in 1930s Germany and the other half think we got a better economy and some free entertainment. Those are two completely different movies running on the same screen at the same time. So...

The first reprint of Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf" in Germany since World War II has proved a surprise bestseller, heading for its sixth print run, its publisher said Tuesday. The Institute of Contemporary History of Munich (IfZ) said around 85,000 copies of the new annotated version of the Nazi leader's anti-Semitic manifesto had flown off the shelves since its release last January. However, the respected institute said that far from promoting far-right ideology, the publication had enriched a debate on the renewed rise of "authoritarian political views" in contemporary Western society. It had initially planned to print only 4,000 copies...

A female singer from the famed Mormon Tabernacle Choir has resigned from the group to avoid performing at Donald Trump's inauguration, saying she "could never look myself in the mirror again with self-respect." "It is with a sad and heavy heart that I submit my resignation to you and to Choir. I'm am praying that Jesus will help me get through this email before I totally break down," singer Jan Chamberlin wrote in a resignation letter that was obtained by The Salt Lake Tribune and eventually posted on Facebook. ... She continued: "Looking from the outside in, it will appear...

President Obama tried to deport German family that had fled Germany over Hitler’s ban on homeschooling In Germany in 1938, Adolf Hitler outlawed homeschooling. He said “Give me a child when he’s seven and he’s mine forever.”Hitler’s ban on homeschooling is still in effect today. In 2006, Katharina Plett was arrested for homeschooling her own children. Her husband and their children fled the country. In 2008, Juergen and Rosemary Dudek were sentenced to 90 days in jail for homeschooling their own children.Uwe and Hannelore Romeike and their homeschooled children fled Germany after the police showed up at their house to enforce...

The ultimate shutdown in politics is to compare a political opponent to Adolf Hitler. And while Donald Trump may have changed much of what we know about politics, that truth lived on in 2016, even if it didn't stop the president-elect from winning. Here are seven times, in no particular order, the national media compared Trump to Hitler. 1. New York Times book review by Michiko Kakutani of "How Propaganda Works" on Tuesday:

"Unbelievable" radio show with host Justin Brierley had on Richard Carrier and Richard Weikart to discuss the issue surrounding Hitler's faith. The title of this weeks show was:

HITLER'S GHOST ISLAND Secret Nazi ‘Treasure Hunter’ base in Arctic found by Russian scientists after being abandoned over 70 years ago when crew was poisoned by polar bear meat Ruined bunkers, rusted bullets and even documents among 500 objects found on remote island that may have been used as an outpost to search for mythical treasure trove The mysterious site is located on a remote island in Russian territory – more than 600 miles from the North Pole. Set up in 1942, a year after Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, the military outpost on Alexandra land was christened “Schatzgraber” or...

Egyptian human rights activist Hany Elsadek reiterated his pro-Nazi sentiments in videos posted on YouTube. Responding to MEMRI's exposure of his previous pro-Hitler clips, Elsadeq declared: "I love Hitler because he was an honorable man, who exposed you for what you are." Elsadek, who heads the "Middle East for Rights and Freedoms," signed off one of his new videos, posted on his YouTube channel on November 27, with a Nazi salute. For his previous statements, see MEMRI clip 5749.   Hany Elsadek: "I'd like to respond to some Israeli websites which published videos of me talking about Hitler. They mock...

The stepsister of perhaps the world's most famous Holocaust victim Anne Frank has asserted that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is "acting like another Hitler." In an op-ed published in Newsweek on Wednesday to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Eva Schloss denounced Trump's rhetoric against Syrian refugees. "If Donald Trump become the next president of the US, it would be a complete disaster," she slams. "I think he is acting like another Hitler by inciting racism." The 86-year-old Schloss, an Auschwitz survivor, was a childhood friend of Anne's in Amsterdam before the Frank family went into hiding. After the war,...

Throughout the election cycle, many liberal pundits accused president-elect Donald Trump of acting like “literally Hitler” over his policy proposals. Now one social justice activist is comparing Trump to Hitler--because of a gesture of good faith. Following the “60 Minutes” interview in which Trump said he would not accept the president’s salary, Parker Molloy, a transgender writer at Upworthy, tweeted this means Trump is taking a page “literally out of Hitler’s playbook”:

LMAO! https://youtu.be/eLNFDtOwUnw

Egyptian human rights activist Hany Elsadek recently defended Hitler, saying that what he did was "no worse than what France did in Algeria." In two video-clips that he posted on his social media accounts on October 31 and November 8, Elsadeq, who heads the "Middle East for Rights and Freedoms," said that Hitler got his reputation in the media as an arch-killer "because he exposed the truth about the Jews." Holding up a Arabic-language copy of "Mein Kampf," he claimed that Hitler, "a respectable man who loved his country," had killed only four or five thousand Jews, but that they...

Above all, Hitler symbolized death and destruction; Trump symbolizes law and order, blue lives as well as black lives, and all lives, saving the country from enemies of safety and freedom from outside and from within Some otherwise intelligent and rational people continue to compare Donald Trump to Adolph Hitler even after the American people have elected Donald Trump to serve as their President. Love him or hate him, we Americans will now have to learn to understand him.

MOUNTAIN VIEW (KPIX 5) — A Mountain View high school teacher was kicked out of his classroom and is now getting threats for comparing President-elect Donald Trump to Hitler. Frank Novarro doesn’t know when he’ll be in front of the classroom again after a history lesson he believes was misunderstood. While some are accusing the history teacher of calling Trump a racist by drawing the comparison, he says that didn’t happen. “Because I think that it is historically factual,” says Novarro.

Allow me the smallest of vanities, but I had to make this in honor of President-Elect Trump's victory on Election Day.

Hitler Finds Out Hillary Lost election!

here it is...

An old pair of knickers have been sold at auction for £2,900 (about $3,600.00 USD). The lilac panties belonged to Eva Braun, the mistress who married Adolf Hitler before she committed suicide by cyanide capsule as Nazi Germany faced collapse in April 1945. It is unlikely she was wearing them at the time. Originally expected to bring in £400, the silk knickers were sold for £2,900 when they went under the hammer at the Philip Serrell auction room in Malvern alongside some other personal items belonging to Eva Braun and monogrammed with her initials. The knickers were reportedly found by...

Rick Steves October 31 at 5:27pm · .. Hitler was all the rage in 1932. Here’s a short clip (with a daring little pun buried inside) from one of the new episodes of my TV show, airing now across the country on public television and online at www.ricksteves.com/tv. We had a fascinating time filming the Nazi Documentation Center in Hitler’s favorite city, Nürnberg. It’s fascinating (and, hopefully, instructive) to think of the tenor of those turbulent times in Germany and how Hitler came to power. His specialty: huge rallies, stoking the fears of angry masses (especially fears of minorities), and...
