Twitter CEO Apologizes For Eating Chik-Fil-A

[ ZZ is to chicken to answer a question about Chick-Fil-A so I'll ask you .. would you apologize if you made the horrible mistake of eating their food? Would it matter to you if it was Pride Month or not? ]

Sadly, this is hardly an exclusively left wing thing any longer. How many did I hear say "I am burning my NFL season tickets" and the like? It seems now our tribalism has gone beyond mere politics and what brands we support, actors we watch or forms of entertainment we embrace must be determined by our political affiliations. Which is why I am now identifying as "I don't give a cr@p."

June 19, 2018 will mark the one year anniversary of Mr. Warmbier’s death.

Otto Warmbier was a 21 year old University of Virginia college student, on his way to study in Hong Kong, when while on a guided tour through North Korea, he did something that can be attributed to youthful whim, and the ignorance of the world outside of his comfortable Ohio upbringing: He attempted to pilfer a propaganda poster from the wall of the hotel he was staying at in Pyongyang.

He was a little drunk. He was far too mischievous. He thought it would be a goofy souvenir to take home from his trip abroad.

He was arrested without incident at the Pyongyang International Airport, as he was about to leave. An official stepped aboard the plane before takeoff and informed the group that he was “very sick” and had been taken to the hospital.

Instead, he was put on trial, and in a tearful press conference, admitted his guilt and begged for mercy and forgiveness.

He begged for mercy and forgiveness in an atheist, Communist society.

He was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor on March 16, 2016, after a 1 hour trial, in what Human Rights Watch called a “kangaroo court.”

When he was released on June 12, 2017, in a vegetative state, his parents reported that he was deaf, blind, howling and jerking uncontrollably, like an animal.

They don’t know what had been done to young Mr. Warmbier while confined in a North Korean labor camp, but a coroner’s exam showed that he died of a lack of oxygen and blood to his brain. Otherwise, his body bore 10 scars, with one of them appearing consistent with a tracheotomy.

There was no autopsy, as it was considered that not much more would have been discovered about his mysterious condition than scanning and imaginghad already revealed.

Now I tell you that story as a reminder of the regime President Trump has so lavishly praised this week.

*Apparently, the human rights abuses of the North Korean people and the Christian community in particular doesn’t have the right emotional punch. Maybe a young, American college student, with a promising future cut short by a heartless foreign regime is what will give emphasis to Trump’s short-sighted appeasement of Kim Jong Un.

If you want to find the real “enemy” of the U.S., start with incompetence, and compromised targets of hostile foreign players, then work your way down. I just wanted everybody to be aware of this. If you've gotten this far, than thank you for taking the time to understand what we're really up against.
