It’s about time that this article was written. Brava, Michelle!

A minute of silence and a candle.

Quietly loading mags by candle light.

And, of course, there will be flags lowered

Is it just me or does it seem to others that we're lowering the flag an awful lot these days. I don't remember "half masting" nearly so often when I was growing up. Somehow it seems defeatist to me.

Europeans: a better idea would be to have Tintin and the other characters don some armor, grab a sword, and slice the subhuman savages to bits of worm food. That would show the towelheads that you have some courage, and that you’re not a bunch of crybabies who can’t stand up to the reptile brain barbarians.

Enough emojis.

We need an immigration ban.

I wish Malkin and Steyn had a show. No guests, just the two of them. No one says it better than those two.

European artists rushed to fill Twitter and Instagram with images of Belgian comic book character Tintin weeping after vengeful Muslim terrorists left the Brussels airport and subway system buried in rubble and dead bodies.

Tintin used to go out and defeat the bad guys. Now he cries about them.

Leaving a pile of flowers at the carnage sites only encourages the Muslim Barbarians to do more killings.

It is good that Malkin calls out this ineffectual and pusillanimous behaviour.

However, I hate the term “virtue signaling”. It is too technocratic sounding and, thus, devoid of the opprobrium such behaviour should elicit. A better term from the good old days would be “sanctimonious moral preening”.

It feels more and more like a white flag.

While homicidal, suicidal and genocidal jihadists are busy plotting the next soft-target terror attacks on the West, docile Westerners are busy shedding cartoon tears and doodling broken hearts on social media.

Typical Malkin brilliance.

But, Michelle, it makes them feel better, and that’s what’s important, you meanie.

Thanks for posting this. She is so right.

Interesting experience here. After reading this article, I was inspired to search an describing the Knights Templar just so I could post an image of one of the knights to my Facebook page, along with the comment, “Needed now more than ever”.

I found a site that was not and all political— just some nerd excited about a History Channel series on the Knights Templar. The image at the beginning of the piece was of the Templars’ cross, but when I posted the link, the image box remained blank. FB is anti-Christian, anti-West.

A retweet on Twitter or a share of Facebook...this is their prayer.

Being first among your friend list to do it...is their righteousness.

Yes, it’s all that shallow.

Vengeful? Getting revenge against a country which allowed you to immigrate to their borders, leaving the insecurity of your homelands, and which gives you money to live? Vengeful, no. The true face of Islam, yes.

What is Titter? I got trapped on Facebook several years ago,
couldn’t escape; but finally they provided a visible
option - so I clicked it & have been free for a long time
now. - Friend’s DIL would put up photos of all her re-
decorating projects. . status every time they went on a
vacation or weekend trip. Then one weekend, they got
cleaned out in a home break-in. - Don’t know is she’s still
posting photos of her replacement stuff or not.
