WINNING! "The war is over!" POTUS orders 5000 troops back to USA

Just ahead of next week's 81st anniversary of V-E Day, President Trump announed that 5000 American troops will be withdrawn from Germany. "We won the war!" POTUS said. "The Krauts will never be able to have nuclear weapons -- not ever! Our mission of making the world a safer place is accomplished. So our brave men and women and others can come home to the welcome they deserve!"

In social media posts on Thursday, President Trump said German chancellor Friedrich Merz was "doing a terrible job" and had "problems of all kinds", including on immigration and energy, but that the US of A was tired of helping them and wouldn't waste any more money and lives doing so. The President has also suggested pulling American troops from Italy and Spain. 

In a statement, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said the order to remove American troops from Germany had come from Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth. "This decision follows a thorough review of the Department's force posture in Europe and is in recognition of theatre requirements and conditions on the ground," he said. "We expect the withdrawal to be completed over the next six to twelve months."

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius told the German Press Agency in Berlin that "the presence of American soldiers in Europe, and particularly in Germany, is in our interest and in the interest of the US." He added that the American withdrawal from Europe and also from Germany "foreseeable".

Reichskanzler Merz [no relation to Fred Mertz of the old I Love Lucy show. Ed.] added "Auf wiedersehen, sweethearts!"

Liberals Applaud Improving Diversity Of Would-Be Trump Assassins 

Following the harrowing incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner over the weekend, progressives across the United States applauded the steadily improving diversity of would-be Trump assassins.

With many liberals concerned over the lack of minority representation among people trying to assassinate Trump, Democrats breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the latest failed assassin was black.

"For too long, the would-be Trump killer space has been dominated by white men," said local liberal Jamie Gallagher. 

"Today was a long-overdue step forward in assassin representation. It's really encouraging to see people from different ethnic backgrounds engage in political violence. I just hope it helps little kids know that their skin color and sexual orientation do not have to hold them back from trying to kill Donald Trump." 

While stating there was still more work to be done, DEI advocacy groups hailed the news of a minority assassin as a landmark victory. "When you see people of all different skin tones and socioeconomic classes trying to murder political figures, you know you've done your job," said DEI consultant Mary Harding. 

"To be clear, we are not there yet. There are still so many underrepresented groups who face significant barriers in trying to assassinate world leaders. We will continue the hard work of ensuring real equity among people shooting guns at President Trump."

At publishing time, progressives admitted that they had been crossing their fingers in hopes that the failed assassin would also turn out to be gay.

Lest we forget: Genesis 19

Earlier today we reported on a charge of bestiality which has been laid against one Seth Christian, a British Columbia man who was caught mounting a horse in an unnatural way. Bestiality is an act of sodomy, a word more often used to describe homosexual acts between men.

The sin of sodomy -- unnatural sexual acts, contrary to nature -- is proscribed by all three Abrahamic religions. In Catholic tradition, the four sins that "cry to heaven for vengeance" (peccata clamantia) are grave actions that call for divine justice due to their extreme malice. These sins are: willful murder, the sin of Sodom, oppression of the poor, and defrauding labourers of their wages.

As Walt wrote in one of our first posts, way back in 2009, homosexual acts are clearly and firmly condemned in the Holy Bible. Look at the story of Sodom and Gommorah in the 19th chapter of Genesis. Those cities were notorious hotbeds of homosexuality. 

Genesis 19:5-7 (DRV): "They called Lot and said to him, 'Where are the men that came in to thee at night? Bring them out hither that we may know [have sexual relations with] them.' Lot went out to them...and said, 'Do not so, I beseech you, my brethren; do not commit this evil.'"

But they did, and received their punishment. Genesis 19:24-26: "the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven. And he destroyed these citie4s, and all the counry about, all the inhabitants of the cities, and all the things that spring from the earth. And [Lot's] wife, looking behind her, was turned into a statue of salt."

 

How quickly we forget. This week the Jerusalem Post reported that, this coming June, Israel is set to host the Middle East's largest ever LGBT festival at the Dead Sea. The new festival, dubbed "Pride Land", intends to transform the middle of the Judean desert into a colourful pride city. 

The event intends to create an experience broader than parties or performances, instead aiming for a space that is alive 24 hours a day, with 15 hotels, beach complexes, parties, and a central performance arena all operating around the cock. Alongside the nightlife, Pride Land will have cultural and art complexes, relaxation and scenic areas, and family-friendly areas with children's activities, family-friendly workshops, and customized events. Sounds simply swell, doesn't it?

"This is not just another festival, it's the biggest thing we've done here," explained (((Aaron Cohen))), main producer and initiator of the festival. If God is sufficiently angered, Pride Land may well be the last thing they ever do there. As judges say, there is a precedent.

Canadian Christian accused of bestiality... with a horse

Walt sincerely hopes that no-one takes "You don't understand! It's part of our culture!" (WWW 15/4/26) as a suggestion that we think a proclivity for bestiality is unique to followers of the Prophet. Oh my goodness golly, no! Christians are just as likely to succumb to the temptations of the (animal) flesh.

[Are you going to give us an example? Ed.] Certainly! According to a report on Canada's Global TV News, an horse by the name of Yola, pictured below, was the subject of a sexual assault by a non-Muslim. Details below.

Earlier this week, a man named Seth Christian appeared in a Vernon BC court, charged with bestiality after being accused of sexually assaulting the old grey mare. [You're sure Yola is a mare? Ed.] Her owner, Erica Van Meenen, said that in January she discovered surveillance footage that showed a man sexually assaulting one of her horses. 

She said she and her 10-year-old son were home one night when her phone began lighting up with notifications from the security cameras at her horse stables. "There was a clip and my horse [Yola] was looking very bright-eyed and aware that something was going on," she said, "So I scrolled to the next clip and that’s when a man walks by."

The Vernon detachment of the RCMP (known for their expertise in matters equestrian) were called to the property, where Ms Van Meenn watched the surveillance footage with an officer. "The officer's face just dropped," the owner said. "We both said, 'Oh my God!' He asked me right away if I was OK, and I just answered, "I'm in shock!"

Ms Van Meenan told Global News that it has been a lot to process, but finally, something is happening. "There’s a lot of people out there who were quite triggered by the situation, and it brought up a lot of trauma for other people. So it's relieving for not just myself and the horses, the owners of the horses of my property, but also the general public, because people are upset like this. It just is not acceptable."

So also says the Criminal Code of Canada, which defines bestiality as "any contact, for a sexual purpose, with an animal." Ms Van Meenan said she wants to see Mr Christian serve time. "I want to see him prosecuted to the full extent of the law. What that is, I’m not sure. I'm not sure if there is a fat jail sentence for this or what it is, but I want to see not just a slap on the wrist." [or some other bodily part. Ed.]

As for Yola, Ms Van Meenen said, "She is, seems to be, back to normal." But the situation has left her rattled. "It has given me this feeling of being uneasy in my own home, and then to see that trespassing by night wasn't on his list of charges. I'm not sure if it will be added at a later date, but that was a little bit disappointing to see that wasn't there."

Walt is reminded of a story about some British army officers who were gathered in the Mess in Cairo during the Great Unpleasantness of the early 20th century.

"Where's Smedley?" asked one. "I thought he was due back from leave."

"Didn't you hear?" replied another. "Old Smedley wasn't on leave. He was discharged from the service... dishonourably, I might add."

"Oh dear!" said the first. "Whatever for?"

"Caught having sex with a camel!" came the reply.

"Really!" said the first. "Male or female camel?"

"Female of course," came the answer. "Nothing wrong with old Smedley!"
