U.S.—A smorgasbord of emotions were on display Tuesday as The Babylon Bee, a Christian news satire website, launched to the general public. The unveiling ignited reactions across the globe ranging from joy, elation, and euphoria, to disgust, rage, and unbridled weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Reports indicate that the website, dubbed Your Trusted Source For Christian News Satire, plans to vigorously engage in the art of news satire from an unapologetically Christian worldview.
“This is a sad day for America, and a sad day for the world,” remarked a teary-eyed President Obama in an emergency press conference from the White House. “Look,” he continued, “news satire has a long, storied history as an important and effective tool for articulating a specific brand of worldview: far-left, anti-religion, naturalist, nihilist—in a word, reasonable. The very idea of Christian satire is an outrage and has no place in our society, or among civilized people anywhere.”
After a brief pause to gather himself, the President continued, “Are we really OK living in a world in which some Christian version of The Onion freely publishes Christ-centered news satire? There are even reports that The Babylon Bee already has a roster of talented contributors.”
“They also have a presence on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram,” he added. “This is totally unacceptable.”
Nobody from The Babylon Bee could be reached for comment, as they were reportedly too busy working hard to be Your Trusted Source For Christian News Satire.
"The Babylon Bee is Your Trusted Source For Christian News Satire."
when will the christian bashing cease. it is appalling to see the extent to which obama will continue to attack the religious of this great nation.
happy bday bee... yes i know it is and so is mine/sarc
For me, the site even beats out The Onion.
The Babylon Bee is a pretty good satire site. Not bad.
But a Christian News Satire site? Never seen that. I guess they tried it - didn’t work. Stayed with political satire.

One from yesterday
HANOI—After Kim Jong Un claimed to have nothing to do with the brutal treatment of Otto Warmbier while the American was in North Korean custody, renowned judge of moral character Donald Trump quickly declared the man to be trustworthy.
The world wasn’t certain it believed Kim Jong Un. But then, Trump vouched for him, and the world breathed a sigh of relief. Now pretty much everyone trusts Kim Jong Un’s claim, thanks to the support of “the most honest president of all time,” Donald Trump.
“He says it, I believe him,” Trump said. The president who’s become known for his excellent moral discernment pointed out that Kim Jong Un’s statement had all the hallmarks of truth, such as Kim Jong Un not really having any reason to lie about it and the dictator “seeming sincere.” Trump also claims to have obtained a pinky promise from the dictator, “the highest and most trustworthy promise in North Korean culture.”
“I’ve always said I’m a great judge of moral character,” Trump said. “I bet you can’t point to a single time I’ve misjudged someone, say, a staffer I declared my total faith in only to trash on Twitter a few weeks later. You can’t find any examples like that. I have tremendous perception when it comes to this stuff.”
At publishing time, sources had also confirmed that Donald Trump “totally believed” Kim Jong Un’s claim that he is a god.
They weren’t around when I put this together; in;

Protesters Question Archbishop’s Loyalty To US
Protest LA Archbishop Jose Gomez Residence
Dozens of protesters have shown up at Archbishop of Los Angelus Jose Gomez residence. Many carrying American flags and bearing signs questioning Gomez’s loyalty to the US not Mexico along with many signs demanding equal rights for American citizens in Mexico.
The protest was apparently triggered by the clerics decision to push forward with his predecessors decision the disgraced Cardinal Mahoney by offering amnesty thus citizenship to Mexicans who crossed the border illegally. While thousands of Americans in Mexico suffer under 2nd class citizenship unable to own property and suffer indignitys let alone participate in Mexican elections while living there in Mexico.
A spokeswoman for the group, Harriet Hildegarden insisted her group consists of Catholics loyal to the church. “We will be protesting at other locations where prominent clergy of the church have sided with the Obama regime”. “Hildy” claims the church is supporting the democrat party which denied God at their convention and declared what she claims is war on the Catholics but would collude with it on “social engineering” issues including “amnesty” . When asked if she may be denied communion for her activities her reply was “Well it’s been known that when that happens quicker when clerics get personally attacked than when some politican challanges the church on the grounds of faith and morals”
