When the publishers of this children’s book are aghast that it’s being used to push hilarious reactions to liberal insanity, you know you’ve hit a home run. Enter ‘Franklin the Turtle,’ a Canadian children’s book series that has become a social media sensation, as good patriots have turned it into many memes mocking liberal policies. The use of Photoshop and AI is elite. I’m sorry—they’re all hilarious. I can’t post all of them because, well, I would get in trouble, but you could imagine.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s post showing the turtle blowing up narco-terrorists was total cinema. It also caused the libs to lose it totally:

Hah! Good stuff.
A minor nitpick: The Crusades weren’t merely ‘justified’ ... they were absolutely necessary, and the crusaders didn’t complete their mission.
These are excellent! I usually don’t care to see computer graphic illustrations for children’s books, but these were very well designed and done, not over-done.
**Well, maybe the Epstein one could have been better. Anatomically speaking, it’s hard to tell what’s going on with Epsteins’s arms and shoulders. I don’t know if “Franklin the Turtle has Jeffrey in a hug or in a Hammerlock; but the message is still communicated.
I love the one below, The Chasing of The TDS Karens, as Franklin ‘brandishes’ the American Flag.
Did anyone read the headline? Galloping illiteracy. Couldn’t pass a 4th Grade English test - and we’re supposed to be informed by someone with this level of attention to detail?
That is not anywhere near the truth.
First of all there were several crusades. The Crusaders did in fact very bloodily capture Jerusalem and other cities. Quite notably, they held the port city of Acre until they were ultimately driven out.
I love this.
Hysterical.
Awesome.
Attention to detail & generally absent evidence of any editing are hallmarks of Townhall. Salem Media seems singularly ignorant of this continuing failure.
Islam still exists.
The crusaders did not complete their mission. In fairness, medieval Europe didn’t have the power-projection capability to complete the mission, so I’m not really blaming them.
One thing that commie trash cannot handle is mockery. Laugh at them and it makes them think that you don’t respect their pearls of wisdom.
You seemingly don’t understand.
The purpose of the Crusades was not to destroy Islam. The purpose of the Crusades was to capture the Holy Land to make it safe for European pilgrimages.
You also can’t seem to grasp the fact that the Crusades were made by the armies of various kings that were more or less always at war with one another. The only real unity were the Knights Templar who were destroyed by a jealous and covetous Christian king and Pope.
So cool! Never heard of Franklin the Turtle before. Can’t wait to give a book to my granddaughter for Christmas and watch the look on my liberal son in laws face. Oh boy.
