Earlier in the evening, Barr tweeted about how President Trump is strongly opposed to child sex trafficking. Barr then underscored how important it is to stop the suffering of innocent children.
"I perceived Hollywood's sexism 2B so pervasive as to not even be noticed-it was class based discrimination, with racial undertones based in anti-semitic sado-spiritual necroPedoism. #ThisIsNow. Trump opposes child trafficking & knows exactly where The Locos is-not many ppl r brave enough2 know, or remember or contain the information-most blank out. #MKULTRA. all that really matters is that we stop the suffering of the world's innocent children. We can do it bc it's the right thing 2 do & this is The Age of Aquarius. G0D is with us now. Let's Roll-," tweeted Barr.

This was 29 percent higher than 2016, when the online shopping company made $17.8 billion. This year it made $18 billion in sales before 12pm, making $1 billion in the first two minutes.
Not so long ago, mere mention of the deliberate murder of whites in South Africa-country folk and commercial farmers, in particular-was called "racist." "Raaacist!" the media collective brayed when candidate Trump retweeted a related "white genocide" hashtag.
It's still "racist" to suggest that the butchering of these whites, almost daily, in ways that beggar belief, is racially motivated. Positively scandalous is it to describe the ultimate goal of a killing spree, now in its third decade, thus: the ethnic cleansing of white, farming South Africa from land the community has cultivated since the 1600s.
Be thankful for small mercies: At least the international media monopoly is finally reporting facts, such as that just the other day Andre and Lydia Saaiman, aged 70, were hacked to death in Port Elizabeth. (Imagine being chopped up until you expire.)
Professor Jordan Peterson, the University of Toronto instructor who won't use "gender neutral" pronouns, says students should know what they're getting into when taking courses from hard-core leftist faculty. That's not sitting well with some of Peterson's colleagues who say identifying their politics amounts to harassment.
Peterson told the Toronto Star on Friday that he has discussed the idea of creating an "information website" that would forewarn students that a course they've selected has an ideological axe to grind with "radical left social justice-oriented courses."
"I'm not happy with the fact that a huge chunk of the humanities and the social sciences have turned into an indoctrination cult. So I thought, well, the students need to be informed. Because they don't have the information necessary to make an informed choice, and this would help them make an informed choice," Peterson told the Star.
Comment: Indeed, it's questionable why anyone would think giving students more information about the courses they're signing up for could be seen as a negative. Those who are interested in "radical left social justice-oriented courses" could use the information to find appropriate courses as easily as those trying to avoid them. It seems the "humanities and social sciences indoctrination cult" doesn't approve of having their agenda laid bare in an upfront manner. Wonder why.

Police told the New York Post that the alleged abuser was a 44-year-old man who rented a room from the tenants throwing the birthday party inside their Jackson Heights apartment for a five-year-old boy.
The man allegedly invited two of the children, the five-year-old boy and a girl of the same age, to watch a movie in his room so the adults at the party could have some time without the children.
The mother of one of the children allegedly discovered the man putting his hand down the boy's pants when she went to check on the kids around midnight. Police say the girl told the adults the man kissed her on the lips as they watched the movie.
The adults immediately removed the children from their tenant's bedroom and dialed 911 to report him to the authorities.
Police say he tried to escape out of a window before authorities arrived. Authorities found him lying on the pavement outside the apartment face up, and emergency medical personnel took him to the hospital in critical condition. He later died from his injuries.
It is unclear whether the man fell on the pavement as part of a suicide attempt or if he accidentally fell while trying to escape.
White poppies are distributed by the Peace Pledge Union, the oldest secular pacifist group in the UK. Last time I wore one, I was insulted by two librarians.
For one thing, what really ought to be an occasion for the old to teach the young that the ruling elites have never seen them as anything other than a resource to be spent - is instead managed and manipulated so as to place those same ruling elites centre-stage in a theatre of fake respect and pseudo-humility. If you really think a creature like Theresa May (or David Cameron, or Gordon Brown, or Tony Blair...), or any of that sociopathic gaggle of 'royals' - can stand at the Cenotaph and feel anything other than the cold, then something has gone seriously awry in what should have been your education.
Plus, there's the rather obtrusive fact that what, by rights, should be a day of public rage - over loss, over suffering, over the whitewashed psychopathy of state-policy violence - never contains so much as a smidgeon of anger, not the mildest trace of anything that might ever bring about the tiniest change...
The proposed website is spearheaded by controversial U of T psychology professor Jordan Peterson, who made headlines a year ago for publicly refusing to use gender-neutral pronouns.
He has millions of views on YouTube for his videos with titles such as "The Stifling of Free Speech on College Campuses" and "The Disability Bureaucracy Wants Your Soul."
Comment: Considering the humanities have been used to indoctrinate students in postmodernist ideology, it stands to reason that giving them warning ahead of time would be a good thing!

The politicians, wearing tricolour sashes of office and singing the national anthem, disrupted about 200 worshippers on a street in Clichy.
Police kept the two groups apart but some scuffles broke out.
Critics say the prayers are an unacceptable use of public space in France's strictly secular system.
The worshippers, however, say they have nowhere else to go since the town hall took over the room they used for prayers back in March.
France has about five million Muslims - the largest Muslim minority in Western Europe.

Paul George Dandan, 30, was at the airport when he was apprehended and taken to jail Friday, an unnamed source said, the Charlotte Observer reported.
Dandan's bail is set at $45,000. The man is also being charged with two other weapons offenses, according to the newspaper, citing court records.
Comment: The arrest is certainly warranted, but it's remarkable how a 'weapon of mass destruction' has gone from an excuse to start a war with Iraq to materials to make a pipe bomb.
Comment: If anything, this op-ed comes to show that not all is 'black or white' when it comes to racism. Apartheid was an oppressive, racist system, but its collapse did not guarantee an egalitarian society. The author says that "by forswearing control over the state apparatus, whites ceded mastery over their destiny", but what could have been realistically done at the time in order to end the injustice while ensuring that there would be no resentment and hatred for generations to come? There is no easy solution for a complex problem such as this. The societies of many countries in the Americas are to this day, after 500 years or so, still dealing with the consequences of European colonization or conquest, in spite of 'everyone being equal under the law'. It will take a while before South Africa can live at peace with itself.
