President Donald Trump praised his "great keyboard warriors" on Thursday night as pro-Trump meme makers and social media personalities have prepared for the 2020 presidential election. The commander-in-chief said his army of online supporters were "far more brilliant" than anyone working in the advertising industry. Posting on social media, the president said: "Thank you to all of my great Keyboard Warriors. You are better, and far more brilliant, than anyone on Madison Avenue (Ad Agencies). There is nobody like you!" At the time of writing, his late-night tweet has been liked and retweeted more than 150,000 times. Responding to the...

COLUMBUS, Ohio - They were bound to get noticed, and that was likely the point. Around two-dozen members of the Proud Boys, along with Bikers for Trump, walked along Sawmill Road on Saturday, carrying various flags. Pictures and video of that event quickly spread on social media. Advertisement - Story continues below One of the people who posted about it was State Rep. Beth Liston, a Democrat who represents Ohio's District 21, which covers Dublin and Worthington. "I’m concerned," Liston said. "I don’t think this represents us as a community, so I wanted to make sure that people understood what...

Pepe the Frog, a symbol associated with America's alt-right, has emerged as a pro-democracy freedom fighter in Hong Kong. Hong Kong protesters view Pepe the Frog as one of them — a character that can be sympathetic to their cause and struggles. Matt Furie, the artist behind Pepe the Frog, wrote in a Time magazine essay asserting that "I, the creator, say that Pepe is love." Visit INSIDER's homepage for more stories. Pepe the Frog is getting an image makeover this summer. The cartoon frog with the bulging eyes and wide smile has, for years, been associated with America's alt-right...

The New York Slimes did a story as well but Im not getting a subscription to read the article. The controversial meme-famous green frog that went from friendly online fun to a symbol of hate is taking on new life in Hong Kong. Months of protest arising from the city’s worst political crisis in decades have turned increasingly violent. Protesters have endured tear gas and rubber bullets, possible gang-tied attacks, and have brought the movement to the airport to avoid clashes with police. On the streets, among the umbrellas and yellow hardhats, homemade signs and posters float above the commotion...

Democracy protests continued in Hong Kong this past weekend. This was after bloody clashes between police and democracy protesters last week. This video was posted online from Hong Kong Airport on Wednesday. Protesters attacked a police officer after he was seen tackling and beating a woman at the Hong Kong Airport. The officer pulled his gun. Gateway Pundit’s brother Joe Hoft landed in Hong Kong on Wednesday — and has been covering the protests from Asia—-

And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God...

The illustrator behind Pepe the Frog, a cartoon frog initially created in the 2000s as a fun-loving post-college grad but eventually designated as a hate symbol by the Anti-Defamation League, has forced the removal of a children’s book from distribution that featured the frog. snip As The Washington Post has noted, the villain in the book is an alligator named Alkah, which many took as a reference to Muslims, and the farm where the story takes place is Wishington, a play on Washington. In recent years, the protagonist, Pepe, became a symbol of the so-called alt-right and white supremacy.

An assistant principal was removed from his position at the Rodriguez Middle School in Denton, Texas after it was discovered he wrote a children’s book starring the controversial internet meme character Pepe the Frog. In Eric Hauser’s 54-page illustrated story, titled The Adventures of Pepe and Pede, the anthropomorphic frog protagonist Pepe and his centipede friend Pede work together to rid their local swamp of the antagonist Alkah, a bearded alligator who has brought chaos to the entire Wishington Farm. To vanquish their deceitful foe, Pepe and Pede throw magical buds from their farm’s Honesty Tree, apparently red-pilling the alligator...

Was “Unite the Right” a Soros-funded Psychological Operation? Was the goal to employ the “Pied Piper” strategy to damage the Republican brand by insinuating that Antifa goons disguised as Nazis represent the views of the entire Right Wing in America? (Is this what Creamer and Democracy Partners have been up to lately?) This whole event feels staged.Lets look at a few things: The protesters show up with all the same TIKI torches.All the same, brand new flags fresh out the wrapper. Still with the packaging folds.The Mainstream Media is there and many Antifa protesters are there yet Trump supporters haven’t...

Pepe the Frog is dead, killed off by his own creator after he watched Pepe turn from a wholesome meme into a symbol co-opted by neo-Nazis for the alt-right. Pepe was created by cartoonist Matt Furie back in 2006 for his comic Boy's Club, but after everything that has happened to Pepe in the last year (including its official recognition as a symbol of hate by the Anti-Defamation League), Furie put Pepe in a coffin in a page-long strip published today, Comic Book Resources reported. In an essay published by Time in October, Furie wrote about how Pepe was never...

Freepers, I have been frequenting a message board on Reddit.com dedicated to Trump. Linked above. For those of you who don't know, reddit is a left wing site that hosts thousands of sub message boards on all kinds of topics. During the election, a Trump message board called The_Donald was created. It actually helped Trump win the election. Pepe the frog is the icon spawned from this site, mentioned by Hillary and labeled a symbol of racism! It is so successful that the site owners are constantly using automated processes to censor it. They fail because truth always breaks through....

Media Matters led the charge…A Dangerous Troll Is Now Reporting From The White House The internet’s most hapless political blogger now has his own White House correspondent — a regular contributor with little reporting experience but ample ties to “alt-right” harassment — sitting in the White House press briefing room.At the January 19 “Deploraball” event before...

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s renouncement of birtherism came with some media gamesmanship that compelled television news networks to air 20 minutes of endorsements by retired military men before the candidate briefly got to the point. “We all got Rick-rolled,” said CNN’s Jake Tapper, a reference to the Internet prank of replacing an expected link with a video of singer Rick Astley’s 1987 hit, “Never Gonna Give You Up.” The bad blood continued after the Friday morning event when the Trump campaign barred text reporters and a television producer from joining him on a tour of the new Trump...

Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign issued a explainer condemning a cartoon frog meme for allegedly being a symbol of white supremacy. The “Donald Trump, Pepe the frog, and white supremacists” explainer includes an image shared by Republican presidential Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., referencing Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” statement:
