Clog the flight reservation system!” “Operation Clog the toilet needs your help. 4chan hatched a diabolical plan to clog up flight schedules to keep the Poopjeets in India or pay a $100,000 fee to come back.” “Ben up all night participating in Operation Clog the Toilet. Preventing jeets from getting back in 24 hours so they are forced to pay $100k to renew H1B” These are some comments posted on 4chan — an anonymous imageboard known for controversial content because some boards lack...

    Though it didn’t work as well for the Democrats as it did for Hitler. Hitler was originally democratically elected — not by a majority, but rather by a plurality, as allowed by the Weimar Republic’s constitution. It was a turning point for all of world history. The Nazis, being ambitious tyrants, leapt at any possible opportunity to expand their grip on Germany. So, on February 27, 1933 — just four weeks after Hitler was sworn in as chancellor — the fire that struck the German parliament building was at least partially blamed on Bolshevik agitators. Sound familiar? Germany’s then-president, Paul...

    Thursday on ABC’s “The View,” Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts that Christians who own guns and are pro-life are hypocrites during a panel discussion on Pope Leo XIV’s recent comments. Pope Leo said, “Someone who says, I’m against abortion, but says I’m in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says that I’m against abortion, but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who are in the United States, I don’t know if that’s pro-life.” Hostin said, “Well, I think that’s right. I mean, I’ve said it on this show many times, I am...

    Randi Weingarten has taken to wearing a paper clip on her lapel as a ­bizarre symbol of her ­crusade against “fascism,” aka Donald Trump. The president of the American Federation of Teachers is on tour to peddle her new book, “Why Fascists Fear Teachers” — yet another example of prioritizing poisonous politics over education from this Marxist fossil. Not to mention fattening her own wallet. The paper clip, she likes to explain to anyone who will listen — mostly on MSNBC — symbolizes a Norwegian protest against Adolf Hitler in World War II. “Teachers in Norway when there was Nazi...
