One Missed Call (2008)
⭐️ .5
Tumblr media
THE CAT????? RIP THE CAT!!! HE DIDNT DO ANYTHING WRONG!!!!
And holy hell, this had poor CGI. I’m sure it was revolutionary at the time- blah blah blah. IDC. That centipede did NOT crawl into that girls hand!!! Another premise that was probably effective for the time but has aged poorly is the technology=bad premise. Stop blaming flip phones for killing people. It’s smartphones that will do that.
I didn’t mind the premise of this film (I love a good mystery), but I didn’t like how there was no rhyme or reason to the selected targets. I think that the folly of this plot was too much exposition, I thought too much was being told through sporadic flashbacks.
Some parts of this film made me annoyed. I found myself rooting against the protagonist because she was so fucking stupid.
You should watch if:
forced dialogue
well-done spooky faces
tampering with evidence
Similar titles:
Countdown (2019) (nearly the same plot but instead of a phone call, there is an app possessed by a demon)
the Final Destination franchise (I literally just watched the second one, but the idea of fate is really finessed in this series)

Who are your up-and-coming/ones-to-watch in the major companies? (e.g. MT, BT, RB, POB, ABT)
Mariinsky Theatre
Maria Koshkareva (Moscow IBC gold medal, MT trainee, dancing solos in galas and in small solo roles in MT performances)
Yaroslavna Kurpina (Moscow IBC silver medal, an underdog that shockingly got herself an MT traineeship, ideal body type, dancing small soloist roles at MT)
Anastasia Zinchenko (MT trainee, really flying under the radar, character soloist parts in VBA graduation show)
Ruslan Stenyushkin (this is complete wishful thinking on my part, he danced very well at VBA graduation...he won a diploma at Moscow too..)
The rest of VBA's 2023 class is undoubtedly promising...but I'm less confident both about their choice of work and their future potential growth
Bolshoi Theatre
Eva Sergeenkova (Obviously the new shooting star, giant political push behind her, leading soloist, graduated in 2021)
Arina Denisova (first soloist and only graduated in 2021, already danced O/O + Gamzatti)
Sofia Maimula (Current MGAH student, already dancing soloist roles on BT stage in Flames of Paris)
Royal Ballet
Mariko Sasaki (PDL prize winner, newly promoted soloist, absolute pleasure to watch)
Marco Masciari (PDL gold medal, good in classical and contemporary, dancing solo parts as an apprentice)
Hanna Park (PDL prize winner, just got into the corps, danced principal parts in RB School show)
Paris Opera Ballet
Bianca Scudamore (Varna silver medal, consistently getting lots of opportunities)
Ines Mcintosh (The heir apparent, very fast rise, stunning to watch)
Lillian Di Piazza (Former Principal of Pennsylvania Ballet, now in POB)
Thomas Docquir( favorite of mine, got some chances in Bayadere this year)
Koharu Yamamoto (Just admitted in to the corps, studied privately with Isabelle Ciaravola, PDL finalist)
American Ballet Theatre
Chloe Misseldine (Apprentice-> Soloist in 3 years, her mother is an excellent retired ABT dancer, gorgeous girl)
Elizabeth Beyer (Has won basically every competition in existence, fabulous razer sharp technique)
Kotomi Yamada (Academie Princess Grace graduate, naturally elegant and a killer work ethic, given lots of opportunities to dance featured things with ABTII while she's still got promoted to apprentice midseason)
Jake Roxander (he's the new virtuoso ABT has been waiting for)
Andrew Robare (legs for days, tall, stunning extension, really fits the mold of the 'Gabriel Figueredo' body type that is becoming rewarded more and more now)

Adam Beyer, B-Zet and YORK Remix Zyon’s Iconic 1992 Single ‘No Fate’
A collective formed by dance music heavyweights Sven Väth, Matthias Hoffmann and Steffen Britzake (B-Zet), Zyon were one of the first electronic acts to grace the iconic Eye Q Records, gaining immediate worldwide acclaim for their 1992 hit No Fate. The trance offering became a staple amongst the electronic music community, and following a cover by Scooter in 1997, it was clear that the record’s…

I made this mix recently, my first in 7 years. It has one mistake near the end, I touched the keylock button accidentally, but the result is a nice mood lift so I decided to keep it. The best aspects of creation come from mistakes, so I'm allowing myself some errors so that I may have room to grow. It's house & techno, with inspirations from many different artists throughout the electronic scene. From Adam Beyer to Peggy Gou, from Heidi Lawden to Avalon Emerson, all their immaculate vibes hopefully inspired my own. My goal is to create these on a regular cadence, but one step at at a time! For today, I hope you enjoy this 77 minutes or so of music.
tracklist:
1: Dievo Sodas - Vejopatis
2: Momentum (original mix) - Roy Rosenfeld
3: Warg - Recondite
4: Wildwood (Deeparture Remix) - Alex Pich
5: In The Light (Dirty Döring Remix)- Lena
6: Samara - Paul Deep (AR) & Nicolas Ruiz
7: Selkirk Grace (original mix) - Juanma Sanchez & Ruben Zurita
8: In Chicago (Danny Avila Extended Remix)- John Summit
9: Euphoria - Oovation
10: New York FM (Richie Blacker's Acid Cosmos Remix) - Breeder
11: Roads Under Ramallah (Namito Wants His Vote Back Mix)- Sultan + Shepard
12: The Darkness That You Fear (Original Mix) - The Chemical Brothers

Mental Health Issues for Cops ‘Worst I’ve Seen’: Caregiver
Mental Health Issues for Cops ‘Worst I’ve Seen’: Caregiver

#MotherofPerpetualHelpWednesdayDevotion🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
[St. Germanus (638-730), First Bishop of Cyzicus, Patriarch of Constantinople.]
Blessed Art Thou: A Treasury of Marian Prayers and Devotions, Richard J. Beyer, Notre Dame, IN : Ave Maria Press, c1996, BX2160.2 B46 1996
[(pp.87-89)]
O Most Honored One,
we are poor in divine gifts, O Mary,
but through you
we see
the riches of kindness offered to us.
Therefore, we say with confidence:
the earth is full of the mercies of the Lord.
Rejected by God
because of the multitude of our sins,
through you we seek Him out again,
rediscover him, and are saved.
Therefore, O Mother of God,
grant us your powerful help
so that we may attain salvation.
And obtain for us the aid of your Son,
the sole Mediator necessary with God.
For your magnificence is infinite,
your goodness in helping the needy is inexhaustible,
and the number of your benefits is limitless.
No one achieves salvation except through you,
O Most Immaculate One!
No one receives grace except through you,
O Most Chaste One!
And no one obtains mercy except through you,
O Most Honored One!
Who would then fail to call you blessed?
I will call you
who were enriched by your Son and God
glorious and blessed,
and I will praise you with all generations.
Amen.
[(p. 88)]
Our Lady
Your name is Our Lady.
You alone are Mother of God
and raised high over all the earth.
O Spouse of God, we celebrate you with faith,
we honor you with longing,
we venerate you with awe;
at every moment we exalt you
and reverently proclaim you blessed.
Amen.
[(p. 89)]
My refuge and my strength
My Lady,
my refuge, life, and help,
my armor and my boast,
my hope and my strength,
grant that I may enjoy
the ineffable, inconceivable gifts of your Son,
your God and our God,
in the heavenly kingdom.
For I know surely
that you have power to do as you will,
since you are Mother of the most High.
Therefore, Lady most pure,
I beg you
that I may not be disappointed in my expectations
but may obtain them, O Spouse of God,
who bore Him who is the expectation of all,
Our lord Jesus Christ,
true God and master of all things,
visible and invisible,
to whom belongs all glory, honor, and respect,
now and always and through endless ages.
Amen.

Books That Have Aided Me in the Development of My Craft, & a Reading List
I have to resist foundering in a ‘research and development’ stage in my practice & becoming more of an armchair witch than a practitioner. Do you struggle with that too? That said, I’ve read some amazing books that have in one or way or another helped me become a better witch and helped me do the foundational work we all have to do on our individual paths. Here are some of those, followed by a few I’m planning on reading as soon as I can get my hands on them. Have you read these? What’re your thoughts? I’d love to hear them :) And also, do you feel you sometimes get stuck or intimidated or overwhelmed with all the things we witches can do and be and become? I definitely do, and my resolution for the year is not to read and think less but to DO more.

Tollense, an original serial romance by Dannye Chase, Chapter 1
A history professor falls in love with his best friend, a 3000-year-old vampire.
READ FROM THE BEGINNING: You are here!
NEXT
Chapter 1
1993
Professor Liam Beyer was born a decade after the deaths of the last soldiers to fight in the US Civil War. Thus, he was not expecting to meet a Union Army veteran in his 4 o’clock symposium on the Battle of Antietam.
Liam noticed the man as soon as he walked in, and not just because it was odd for a member of the public to show up for a faculty lecture at the university. No, the man caught Liam’s attention because he was distractingly handsome. Literally, Liam was distracted enough to drop his pen onto the overhead projector, causing a giant shadow to loom over the map of Maryland on the screen behind him, as if a third army had materialized there in a dense offensive line.
The man was of average height, with a slender build. He had dark hair in a short, modern cut and wore a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt with a faded label. He looked like he might be thirty, which was about the age Liam was, and so Liam did not immediately assume that the man had seen action in the Civil War. But there was something faintly strange about him, just in the way that he walked, light on his feet like a dancer, but stepping firmly, without a dancer’s well-practiced grace.
“General Lee,” Liam continued, in a slightly strangled voice, “of the Confederate Army, was, of course, outnumbered, but the battle was Union General McClellan’s to lose. Had he understood how superior his force was, had he taken more risks, he might have been able to deal a decisive blow to Lee’s army as it retreated. In fact, McClellan’s performance at Antietam was part of the reason that President Lincoln later removed him from duty.”
Liam put up a transparency of a white church with peeling paint, standing alone on a grassy rise. “On September 17, 1862, 7,650 soldiers died at Antietam, making it the bloodiest day for Americans in history. Two days later, a man named Alexander Gardner took some of the first widely-seen battlefield photographs of dead soldiers. Some were awaiting burial, and some were still lying where they fell. It was very difficult at the time to take photographs of battles themselves, as the technology involved careful treatment of glass negatives, and that was nearly impossible under battlefield conditions. But the dead do not move, and these photographs were so clear that when displayed in New York, family members recognized their fallen sons.”
Liam put up a transparency of one of Gardner’s photographs, young men lying on the ground in an oddly perfect line. The unknown man looked away.
oOo
Liam had grading to do after his symposium, but he walked to the campus union to grab a sandwich first. He was definitely not expecting Handsome Unknown Lecture Man to appear out of the crowd and drop into the seat opposite him. Liam was very proud that he did not choke on his bite of ham and swiss.
“I hope you don’t mind,” said the man. “I enjoyed your lecture. My name is Kurt.”
Liam put his hand out to shake. Kurt’s touch was faintly cold. “Liam,” he said.
Kurt cocked his head slightly to the side, as if assessing him. “I know. Liam Beyer, 27, assistant professor of history, specializing in battles. Is Antietam your favorite?”
“Um— one of them. I did my dissertation on it. On McClellan, specifically.” Liam felt slightly odd about the fact that this stranger knew who he was, but of course, it was all publicly accessible information. “Are you a Civil War buff?”
“Somewhat.” Kurt leaned back in his chair. “Antietam, god. I remember Bloody Lane— that’s what they called it after. The road was sunken in because so many wagons had gone by over the years. It was like trying to fight your way out of your own grave trench.” Kurt spoke with a faint accent that Liam could not place, something that seemed to shift from one place to another.
“You talk like you were there,” Liam said, smiling. “Are you a reenactor?”
Kurt gave a sharp laugh. “No. You?”
“I’ve been a technical advisor. It’s nice to meet other people who share my strange obsession.”
“Those pictures you showed,” Kurt said. “Photography is such a bewitching art. Those boys are long gone, but remain ever present in death.”
“You know, the war helped make Spiritualism popular,” Liam said. “It was so hard on the families back home to lose contact with their soldiers, not knowing what happened to them, or when, or where. They couldn’t bear it, and turned to mediums.”
Kurt smiled, and it made his bright green eyes sparkle with amusement. “Have you ever been to a seance?” he asked. Liam shook his head. “Most I’ve been to were quite boring,” Kurt said. “But every once in awhile—”
“That sounds like a good story.”
“I’ll tell you sometime.” Liam’s brain was already far too occupied with how attractive he found this poor man, and that was probably why the sentence sounded more like a salacious promise than it really was.
“So what do you do?” Liam asked faintly, crumpling his empty sandwich wrapper. “Are you a student?”
“Not at the moment. Just a fan of history. Of battles, actually.” Kurt leaned forward a little. “Liam, would you mind if I came to your office tomorrow to talk more? I have some questions and I think you might be the one to help me answer them.”
“I— of course.” Liam told himself that he agreed solely because he liked to talk about history with people, and that it didn’t matter whether or not said people were ridiculously attractive.
Kurt smiled at him again. “Until tomorrow then.”
On his way out of the dining hall, Liam was stopped by a student with a question about an assignment on Gettysburg. “I didn’t want to interrupt your dinner,” she said.
“Oh, it would have been fine,” Liam told her. “We were talking about the Civil War ourselves.”
The student gave him a confused look. “Dr. Beyer— weren’t you eating alone?”
oOo
In the end, Liam decided that as he’d never dreamed up a handsome man in quite so much detail before, that the student had been mistaken and simply had not noticed Kurt’s presence at Liam’s table.
And yet. There really was something very strange about the man. Liam couldn’t quite pin it down, just that there was a disconnect between what Liam was seeing and what he was feeling about him. For example, Kurt appeared to be thirty, but Liam would swear he was older. Kurt had looked perfectly natural at dinner, but it had also seemed like he didn’t quite fit in with his surroundings. Like if you’d taken a photograph of him at the table, he would have been slightly too bright, out of focus, or without a shadow.
Kurt’s knock on Liam’s office door finally came around eleven, and Liam was, he realized, far too happy to see him again. At first, nothing about the visit seemed terribly odd. They discussed Antietam again, then traveled forward to the Somme, and then much farther back, Megiddo and Kadesh. Kurt seemed to know less about those battles, Liam noted, but he was quite familiar with things taking place after Thermopylae in the 5th century BC.
It was easy to talk to Kurt, especially about interests they had in common, and as the conversation went on, Kurt seemed to relax a bit, which made Liam do the same. The day before, Liam had thought Kurt moved without grace, but that wasn’t exactly right. Kurt had a different kind of grace, a fluidity of small movements instead of large ones, an artistry shown in the fluttering of fingers while the rest of the man kept entirely still. The emphasis on such small motions seemed to draw Liam in, narrowing his focus away from his surroundings and onto his visitor. But at the same time, Kurt had such an air of other about him, that it was almost like Liam was looking at him through beveled glass, never quite getting the whole image at once.
However, Liam’s sense of ease around Kurt vanished entirely when another student knocked on Liam’s door with a question about an assignment. That in itself was perfectly normal, but during the whole time that the student was in Liam’s office, she didn’t speak to Kurt or apologize for interrupting their conversation. She didn’t give a single look to the chair that Kurt occupied beside Liam’s desk.
When the student had left, Liam leaned back in his chair, trying to fake the calmness that he no longer felt. “All right,” he said, watching his visitor carefully. “You want to tell me why I’m the only person who can see you?”

These Girls
Ein Streifzug durch die feministische Musikgeschichte
Juliane Streich (Hg.)
Über prägende Role Models von den 1950ern bis heute Vor 50 Jahren forderte Aretha Franklin »Respect«, in den Neunzigern rebellierten die Riot Grrrls und heute vermarkten Superstars wie Beyoncé eine sexy Version des Feminismus. Die Charts sind voll mit weiblichen Stimmen, doch bleiben Festivalbühnen, Musikzeitschriften und Clubnächte männerdominiert. Dabei gibt es Role Models an jeder Ecke, in jedem Jahrzehnt, in dem Frauen zu Gitarre, Mikrofon oder DJ-Software griffen. Jede hat ihre eigenen Geschichten. Es geht um Selbstermächtigung, um Wut, um Gleichberechtigung, um Drugs and Rock’n’Roll, um Sex und Sexualität – und auch mal um Menstruation. Vor allem aber um Musik. Egal, ob Stimmen im Soul, Battles im Rap, Gitarrensoli im Rock, große Hits im Pop oder Tunes im Techno. Ganze Enzyklopädien könnten mit herausragenden Musikerinnen und weiblichen Bands vollgeschrieben werden. Dieses Buch ist eher vergnügliche Lektüre als Lexikon, doch gibt es einen vielseitigen Einblick in die feministische Musikgeschichte. In über 100 lehrreichen, kurzweiligen und persönlichen Texten schreiben Journalistinnen und Journalisten, Musikerinnen und Musiker, Fans und Freunde über Bands, die sie prägten, über Künstlerinnen, die den Feminismus eine neue Facette gaben, über Lieblingsplatten, Lebenswerke und Lieder, die sie mitgrölen – vom Klassiker bis zum Außenseitertipp. Françoise Cactus, Paula Irmschler, Franz Dobler, Jacinta Nandi, Klaus Walter, Christina Mohr, Bettina Wilpert, Linus Volkmann, Ebba Durstewitz, Andreas Spechtl, Jonas Engelmann, Diviam Hoffmann, Sven Kabelitz, Elke Wittich, Myriam Brüger und viele andere schreiben über Björk, Christina Aguilera, Bikini Kill, Billie Holiday, Alice Coltrane, ESG, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Kimya Dawson, Madonna, Patti Smith, Spice Girls, Terre Thaemlitz und viele weitere Künstlerinnen. +++ Der Titel ist ebenfalls als E-Book bei allen gängigen Online-Händlern erhältlich (u.a. bei www.Thalia.de / www.ebook.de / www.Amazon.de / www.Buecher.de / Apple iBooks). +++ Mit einem Spotify-Account könnt Ihr über folgenden Link in zahlreiche Songs von im Buch vorkommenden Künstlerinnen reinhören: https://open.spotify.com/user/9ah5nzktfzli5qpvcm2up0gym/playlist/4xj9rTFk4OJrP4hZ3DdjTA +++

Congresswoman Dingell (D-MI) urges Facebook to pro-actively eradicate ‘100% of anti-Muslim content before it is even seen'
In other words, the pro-active enforcement of Islamic sharia law.
Facebook already bans the majority of content that exposes jihad and sharia and FB recently hired a member of the Muslim Brotherhood to its oversight board.

Congresswoman Dingell to Facebook: Eradicate Anti-Muslim Content On Your Platform
WASHINGTON, D.C. December 15, 2020 – Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (D-MI) today urged immediate action from Facebook to eradicate anti-Muslim bigotry from the platform and demanded Mark Zuckerberg implement six measures to combat bigoted content. In a letter signed by 29 colleagues, Dingell cited instances of anti-Muslim content on Facebook and recent reports showing the role of the platform in inciting violence against the Muslim community.
In her letter to Mark Zuckerberg, Dingell asked for Facebook to implement the following measures:
Form a working group comprised of senior staff focused on anti-Muslim bigotry issues and responsible for coordinating work within the company to address hate groups, tropes, bigoted content, and anti-discrimination training.
Enforce your hate content and hate group policies in a way that ensures militias and white supremacists cannot use your event and group pages to terrorize targeted communities.
Committing to an independent third-party review of the company’s role in enabling anti-Muslim violence, genocide and internment.
Strive towards and commit to a 100 percent proactive detection and removal of anti-Muslim content and all other forms of hate before it is even seen.
Commit to regular anti-discrimination training for your entire staff world-wide
Training key staff on civil rights issues and common words, phrases, tropes or visuals used by hate actors to dehumanize and demonize Muslims.
“We thank Congresswoman Dingell and her colleagues for holding Facebook accountable for the harm it has inflicted on American Muslims here and Muslims abroad,” said Scott Simpson, Public Advocacy Director of Muslim Advocates. “Just last week, we learned that not only did the Christchurch shooter use Facebook to livestream his slaughter, he also was a member of multiple anti-Muslim hate groups on the platform. Anti-Muslim hate has consequences and Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg must finally take action to stop it from proliferating on their platform.”
Dingell’s letter was signed by Debbie Dingell, Rashida Tlaib, André Carson. Carolyn B. Maloney, Ilhan Omar, Jahana Hayes, Max Rose, Barbara Lee, Eddie Bernice Johnson, Bobby L. Rush, Daniel T. Kildee, Jared Huffman, Kathy Castor, Gwen S. Moore, Lauren Underwood, Jan Schakowsky, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Mark Pocan, Grace Meng, Bonnie Watson Coleman, Darren Soto, Donald S. Beyer Jr., James P. McGovern, Peter Welch, Jamie Raskin, Pramila Jayapal, Yvette D. Clarke, Raúl M. Grijalva, Earl Blumenauer, and Nydia M. Velázquez. Additionally, her letter has received the support of the following organizations: CODEPINK, Common Defense, Council on American-Islamic Relations, Islamic Networks Group, Jetpac, Jewish Voice for Peace Action, Justice for Muslims Collective, MomsRising, National Iranian American Council, Peace Action, Progressive Democrats of America, Project South, ReThinking Foreign Policy, and National Network for Arab American Communities.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Daniel Greenfield provides some context:   
30 House Democrats go to war against the First Amendment
   Considering the letter’s call for, "100 percent proactive detection and removal of anti-Muslim content", the safe assumption would be that they want to ban everything critical of Islam.
   That's a disturbing attack on the First Amendment coming from 30 House members.
   Democrats have repeatedly pressured Facebook and other social media companies to remove speech they politically disapprove of, whether by President Trump or other conservatives, eroding the thin line between private companies acting on their own initiative and government officials conspiring to violate the First Amendment by banning certain kinds of political speech.
   After multiple hearings, legal proposals, and legislative threats, it’s no longer possible to view Facebook’s censorship of political speech as anything other than government censorship. When enough pressure by government officials has been applied to a company to censor certain kinds of speech, the company’s decision to censor speech becomes government censorship.
   30 House members would now like Facebook to censor criticism of Islam and political protests against Islamic terrorism. One of the few examples of anti-Muslim content in the House letter was a political protest against the Islamic Society of North America’s 2019 conference.
   That was the conference which included an appearance by two Democrat presidential candidates, Bernie Sanders and Julian Castro, whose forum was moderated by Salam Al-Marayati, the head of MPAC, who had defended Hamas and Hezbollah. Also participating in a round table at the conference was Imam Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the World Trade Center bombing, who has defended the Islamic mandate to kill gay people.
   This is the sort of information that AOC, Omar, and 28 other House Democrats, want banned.
   House Democrats trying to shut down protests targeting their own candidates is a blatant violation of the First Amendment which was meant to prevent exactly that kind of thing.
   And the party of social justice wants to stop Americans from protesting against an Imam who says things like, ”Brothers and sisters, you know what the punishment is, if a man is found with another man? The Prophet Mohammad said the one who does it and the one to whom it is done to, kill them both.” What happens when ‘anti-Muslim content’ meets anti-gay content?
   The 30 House Democrats don’t want to talk about any of this which is why their letter doesn’t.
...
   And if that's not enough, there's an independent third-party review of Facebook’s compliance.
   CAIR and other Muslim Brotherhood groups would be brought in to define what “anti-Muslim content” is and then senior staff, approved of by CAIR and its allies, would set moderation policies to suppress “tropes” used by “hate actors” like Jihad, Sharia, Taqiyya, and terrorism.
...
The more Democrat officials lay out the kind of censorship they would like internet platforms to perform, the more the First Amendment’s guarantee of free speech becomes a dead letter. And this letter, signed by 30 House Democrats, is a new threat to our freedom of speech.
America does not have blasphemy laws. And politicians are not allowed to ban speech they don’t like. The letter to Facebook makes it more urgent than ever that our elected officials find ways to protect the marketplace of ideas from political censorship by Democrats and Facebook.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Robert Spencer concludes:
Rep. Debbie Dingell Demands Facebook Remove Criticism of Islam
...Dingell and her henchmen are demanding that Facebook implement policies that will institutionalize and universalize such fascist hysteria. Even worse, the political climate is so rancid today that
Dingell will pay no political price either for her association with Hamas-linked CAIR or for her open opposition to the freedom of speech
. If she doesn’t know that Hamas-linked CAIR and its allies have for years been demonizing and stigmatizing honest discussion of the motivating ideology behind jihad terrorism as “anti-Muslim,” and that her demands will also likely result in the silencing of such discussion, she should know it.
Dingell is actively aiding an endeavor to silence all criticism of Islam, which is all smeared in the same way, and enabling the tacit acceptance of Sharia blasphemy law, which forbids such criticism. She is, in short, the very definition of a useful idiot.
------------------------
Or a traitor failing to uphold her oath to the U.S. Constitution.
