How Fox News would've covered Jesus

A thread.
The hosts at "Fox & Friends" would employ their method of lying without really lying.

Brian: People are saying the parents went to Bethlehem's nicest hotel and demanded a free room!

Ainsley: I'm hearing that they broke into a manger

Brian: That's also what people are saying
Brian: Hotel officials said there was no room at the inn, but I bet the left will claim it was racism.

Ainsley: Why would anyone bring a child into the world if they can't afford a motel?

Doocy: Yet he was dressed in "Swaddling Clothes," which I think is an urban fashion brand
Of course they would immediately get someone on the phone to defend the new Executive Order on undocumented minor immigrants.

"Look, it's King Herod's job to protect our country and the only way to do it is to kill all the firstborn sons. You can't be soft on terrorism."
Why isn't anyone singing "Joy to the world" for white kids from two-parent homes who were responsible enough to make a reservation at the inn? We shouldn't praise the actions of these irresponsible parents.

Oh great, another brown kid who doesn't know who his father is.
And you know Greg Gutfield will have some of those lame "I'm-not-a-bigot-but..." jokes:

"Three brown men bringing gifts to a white baby? Sounds like human traffickers. I've heard this story before when it was called 'To Catch a Predator.' Where's Chris Hansen when you need him?"
Then they would push unfounded claims from Facebook that Joseph and Mary's terrorist ties. Thats why we need a travel ban. If these refugees didn't have anything to hide, why did they flee to Egypt?
Of course, when he started talking about the living by the sword, dying by the sword, and the meek inheriting the earth, they'd say he was a radical leftist inspiring violence. Plus, you know they'd call him a thug when he started hanging out with his gang of "disciples"
Judge Jeanine: Funny how the guy whose mother was impregnated by another man wants to stop stoning adulterers.

Well, let me tell you something, Mr. Christ. It's easy to tell people to love their neighbor when you don't own a home. Leave it up to the criminal justice system!
Laura Ingraham:

I'm sorry, but no one wants to listen to some unqualified minority who got into carpentry school on affirmative action.

He wouldn't need to heal the blind & cure leprosy if he told his followers to get a job so they could afford healthcare!
Hannity: He's performing unauthorized medical treatments. Where'd that wine come from? I'm calling on Pontius Pilate to investigate how he got funding to feed a multitude with only 5 loaves and 2 fish. And what are they teaching?

Cruz: You can't spell Christ without C-R-T
Years later, they'll claim they loved him while quoting him & telling you what he "would have wanted." They'll never admit that he was criminalized for leading protests & undermining authority. The cops HAD to nail him to a cross...

He kept resisting.

Imagine if the Constitution included a secret lottery that marks 10% of all birth certificates with a red stamp allowing them to get away with 1 murder during their lifetime.

Here’s the catch:

The lottery winners would NEVER know if they had received the “murder stamp at birth
Now, most people don’t plan to murderer anyone, so you’d think the public would change this law

But you must also consider the fact that every American would know that they have a 10% chance to get away with murder.

So here are the arguments for & against changing the law:
1. IT’S A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT

The Founders included it to protect against tyranny. The government is less likely to violate your rights if there’s a 10% chance you have the murder stamp. Thus, the Murder Stamp Amendment also protects people who DON’T have a murder stamp.

1/3 Imagine if someone tried to poison an incredibly creative family. But, instead of dying, the family just got sick.

As they recovered, the painters in the family painted pictures of poison, the family poets wrote poison poems, the songwriters wrote songs about being poisoned
Some of it was about how to defeat the poison. Some was about strength, resilience & recovering from poison. Some was just about joy in spite of being poisoned.

And some of the art, poetry & songs was about vomit, diarrhea, & the EFFECTS of being poisoned
People don’t really buy poetry & art. But they LOVE music. Soon, poison songs become popular—even the ones about shit & vomit. Then, people start thinking that it’s cool to have been poisoned! And if being poisoned is cool, you know what’s even cooler?

Poisoning people.

There is a lot of speculation about what could happen it people like Kyle Rittenhouse are allowed to get away with murder. But, as usual, it's never "if" but "when"

A brief history of white vigilantes at Black protests.

A thread.
On July 8, 1874, the "leading white men" of Edgefield SC traveled to a protest in Hamburg SC and massacred any Black men who owned a gun.

Their plan was to "seize the first opportunity that the Negroes might offer them to provoke a riot and teach the Negroes a lesson."
Benjaimn "Pitchfork" Tillman, the white supremacist who led that riot became an instant celebrity.

So what happened to him?

Warning: Graphic content

Last night's @ambermruffin show featured a segment on Alabama's prisons. Of course, we couldn't talk about everything but you should know it's crazy AF

A thread

First of all, Alabama runs the deadliest prisons in America. The mortality rate in Alabama prisons is higher than cancer. Suicides are common. I got involved after I read a report by @eji_org and said WTF?

Soon, I was in contact with ppl on the inside.

theroot.com/everyone-knows…
When COVID first hit, I received a call from a family who hadn't heard from their incarcerated loved one. It turns out that he had caught COVID and was hospitalized.

He was Alabama's 1st inmate to die from COVID.

The crazy thing about this video is how the camera man just decided he was gonna film Toni and NO ONE ELSE.

But I really want to know what these four guys were doing. Did they plan this? Was this the first case of white swag surfing? I need answers!
I’m also interested in these 3 in the pink & white.

I know they got this from a mall kiosk but we need to know how many times they called each other to make sure they were “coming correct” (you know they said it). But, as usual, Sheila messed it up by wearing gray sweatshorts!

I am big enough to admit when I am wrong

According to the new definition in some of the recently passed legislation, I found a few examples of schools and textbooks that promote Critical Race Theory in schools.

A thread.
First, let's agree that we shouldn't even argue about the 1800s. According to the CDC, the average life expectancy in the US is 78 years old, which means a 78-year-old would've entered school in 1949. But let's skip the 40s. In fact, let's skip the 1950s too.
Instead, every one of these examples of CRT is from the 1960s forward, which means the people who learned these lessons are statistically still living, most are still in the workforce, in fact, NO ONE who learned any of these CRT lessons are even old enough to get Social Security
