Professor: Hate Crime Hoaxes are more common than (liberal, media) people think.

Portland (Oregon) government listening session turns into "extremist shitshow" as antifa and related freaks demand that the police be disbanded.

LGBT Magazine declares Trump is "racist" to demand that Iran stop murdering gay people.

There had been a joke that the minute Trump spoke out against anti-gay violence, the gay left would declare anti-gay violence a vibrant thread in the wondrous fabric of American values.

It's not a joke any longer.

Adam Schiff begs Republicans to join him in his plans for neverending congressional harassments of Trump, surely signaling that he thinks the Mueller report will be of little help to him.

Kim Strassel writes of Little Schitt's "new phase" in the Russia Collusion investigation, in which they admit there was no Russian collusion but come up with Exciting New Conspiracies to investigate:

The collusionists need a "new phase" as signs grow that the special counsel won’t help realize their reveries of a Donald Trump takedown. They had said Mr. Mueller would provide all the answers. Now that it seems they won't like his answers, Democrats and media insist that any report will likely prove "anticlimactic" and "inconclusive." "This is merely the end of Chapter 1," said Renatto Mariotti, a CNN legal "analyst."

Mr. Schiff turned this week to a dependable scribe--the Washington Post's David Ignatius--to lay out the next chapter of the penny dreadful. Mr. Ignatius was the original conduit for the leak about former national security adviser Mike Flynn’s conversations with a Russian ambassador, and the far-fetched claims that Mr. Flynn had violated the Logan Act of 1799. Mr. Schiff has now dictated to Mr. Ignatius a whole new collusion theory. Forget Carter Page, Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos--whoever. The real Trump-Russia canoodling rests in "Trump's finances." The future president was "doing business with Russia" and "seeking Kremlin help."

So, no apologies. No acknowledgment that Mr. Schiff & Co. for years have pushed fake stories that accused innocent men and women of being Russian agents. No relieved hope that the country might finally put this behind us. Just a smooth transition--using Russia as a hook--into Mr. Trump’s finances. Mueller who?

A British (or "British") ISIS war bride now wants to keep her UK citizenship back now that ISIS is collapsing and about to be on the run. She implores the UK to "show a little mercy" and says "I can change" a little bit to keep her citizenship. So, she'll only slaughter some of the nonbelievers or something.

Venezeulan security forces open fire on citizens begging for food. And they shut off the internet.

Maybe they shut the internet off to block this video from November 2017 from being shared further:

Finally, a quote from The Atlantic's squealing fart of a puff piece about The Cuckshed:
