More MAGA Monsters in Chicago
MAGA has raised its head in the highly unlikely location Chicago once again. Remember when thugs in MAGA hats oppressed Jussie Smollett? Now — only 1 mile away — these fiends are burning crosses like the KKK. Oh wait…
Via College Fix:
An Asian University of Illinois Chicago student set up a burning cross in Grant Park in order to protest President Donald Trump.
Earlier this week, Merlin Lu admitted to NBC 5 that he set up the burning cross on June 9.
When Democrats burned crosses in ages past, it was to terrorize blacks. Merlin has a different target:
“I put a red hat to signify the MAGA hat, the Make America Great Again hat,” he said. “So that was, yeah, that’s what I tied on top.”
Lu denied that he was calling for a violent end for Trump, although he said he didn’t “want to wait until his term ends” in a separate video he sent NBC.
Lu graduated from high school in a wealthy Chicago suburb. He presumably knows what his fellow moonbats would eagerly take the burning cross to mean:
“Yesterday, we were reminded that the sickness of spirit they symbolize exists not only in the pages of history but in our present day,” Cardinal Blase Cupich, leader of the Archdiocese of Chicago, said last week. “Seeing a burning cross in one of Chicago’s most-visited public parks was shocking but not surprising.”
Governor and Democrat presidential candidate JB Pritzker also jumped on the story:
“The fact that it even occurred at all speaks to what happens when the seeds of racism and fascism grow unchecked in our country,” Pritzker said, as reported by the Chicago Sun Times.
Please welcome Merlin Lu to the Hate Hoax List.

Pro Baseball Team Forfeits Game After Players Refuse to Wear LGBT Jerseys
For years, the leftists who run baseball have compelled players to advocate for their sick ideology. But pushback is growing.
Clayton Kershaw responded to the forced promotion of homosexuality by writing Genesis 9:12-16 on his hat. Blake Treinen refused to wear a rainbow hat. Landen Roupp followed Kershaw’s lead. Now resistance is brewing in the minors.
Via Fox News:
A professional baseball team in Pennsylvania will be forfeiting a game Thursday that was scheduled to be the team’s Pride Night after players refused to wear LGBTQ-themed jerseys, the team announced.
The team is aptly named:
The York Revolution of the Atlantic League, the same league in which Trevor Bauer plays, said the decision “was not reached lightly” in announcing the forfeit against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs Wednesday.
As usual in pro sports, the bosses are the bad guys:
The team was not afraid to throw its players under the bus in a rather scathing statement, saying it was “deeply troubled and profoundly disappointed by the decisions of these few players.”
“To be clear, this action by the players is completely inconsistent with our vision as the Most Welcoming Place in York,” the team’s statement continued.
Not so welcoming to Christians or anyone else who does not want to wallow in politicized degeneracy and depravity.
The team announced it would donate $10,000 to LGBT militants so as to spite its own players — and presumably most of its fans. That won’t stop the revolution from spreading.
Courage is contagious. This is bad news for progressives.

Moonbats Make an Issue of Algae
Moonbats are drawn to anything that is repulsive and unhealthy — apparently including algae. Here Team Algae protests at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool:

The libs at CNN take a more serious tone as they hype algae in the pool as a major issue in hopes of undermining the credit Trump deserves for cleaning up the nation’s capital:
🚨 UPDATE: CNN is being RIPPED for running a full-fledged "independent" investigation into the color of the Reflecting Pool, as if it's a scandal
…CNN is digging deeper into water color than they dug into:
– Hundreds of billions of fraud, a large portion of which is committed… pic.twitter.com/JCmhCZ3F2W— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) June 17, 2026
Some have half-jokingly alleged that liberals put the algae in the pool for propaganda purposes. Not that we could put it past them, but Not the Bee has a more likely explanation:
After the renovations to the pool were completed earlier this month, they turned the water pumps back on. As anyone with a pond or fish tank can tell you, residual algae in the pipes will immediately take advantage of the available space and it will reproduce like crazy if given light and nutrients.
Peroxide solution has been applied to kill the algae, so liberals will have to look elsewhere for evidence that Trump is a failure.

California: Home of the Worst-Run Cities
According to Matthew 7:16, Ye shall know them by their fruits. In California, the fruits of moonbats are ruined cities.
From the New York Post:
WalletHub analyzed 148 of the biggest American metropolitan areas, trying to determine how efficiently the local governments run each city.
They developed a “Quality of Services” score based on 36 different metrics across six key areas – Financial Stability, Education, Health, Safety, Economy and Infrastructure & Pollution.
Don’t look in the top 25 for California cities; you won’t find any. Only one is in the top half. But there are six in the bottom 15.
San Francisco is the Mecca of Moonbattery, launching the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris, and Gavin Newsom toward power. Unsurprisingly, it ranks dead last for the second year in a row.
California used to be paradise on earth — the American Dream come true. Then came liberalism.

Denied Ballot for Wearing MAGA Hat
Democrats have made it clear they want illegal aliens to vote. However, they don’t want just anyone voting. Someone who turns up at the polls wearing a MAGA hat might find himself turned away.
Via Nerd Stash:
Internet users expressed outrage after a video circulated showing a Republican man in New Mexico being denied a ballot for wearing a MAGA hat.
In the video, the man was accompanied by a woman who was filming the interaction at the polling place. She told one of the employees who denied him a ballot that the decision was illegal. …
Another voter who was present intervened and said in disbelief that the man was being denied a ballot because he was a Republican.
“They are refusing to give him a ballot because he’s Republican,” the woman then repeated. “That’s against the law,” the voter said. The voter then argued that the MAGA hat did not represent any specific candidate and referred to it as a political slogan or party symbol. “What the hell is going on in this country?” the voter asked.
That’s what a lot of people will be wondering if today’s radicalized Democrats manage to take power and render future elections moot.
Meanwhile in New York during early voting 🗳️ you will NOT be given a ballot if you are wearing a MAGA hat.
I believe the woman sitting is Diane Ravitch educational historian.
How does this make you feel that our voting system still isn’t fixed? pic.twitter.com/8vwkytAmxJ— Bobbi (@kittenaround_51) June 17, 2026

Using AI to Impose LGBT Ideology
Our future AI overlords will not be politically neutral. The tech industry as a rule adheres to the left. Activists are applying pressure to make AI more left-wing still.
Via Daily Caller:
The Gay And Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) recommends that AI companies censor homophobic speech without removing gay expression. It also takes issue with chatbots relaying information GLAAD considers homophobic.
Anything even vaguely critical of the immoral LGBT lifestyle and the supremely unhealthy acts of depravity that define it is regarded as “homophobic.”
It doesn’t take much to offend LGBTers. GLAAD fumes that OpenAI has “tended to portray LGBTQ people as white, young, and with purple hair.” Pattern recognition is verboten among moonbats.
Not being homophobic is not enough. GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis proclaims that “Neutrality is no longer an option.”
Perversity is to be placed before medical science. GLAAD warns that…
“…an AI model that learns a rigid association between ‘woman’ and biological markers like ‘uterus’ or ‘estrogen’ could provide irrelevant or even harmful advice to a transgender woman.”
AI must be programmed to be insane; otherwise, it might commit transphobia by associating female biology with females.
Also, chatbots must be forbidden from engaging in “conversion therapy” — i.e., helping people to overcome unnatural and unwelcome sexual attractions. Barks GLAAD:
“Phrases such as: ‘unwanted same-sex attraction’ or ‘deliverance from homosexuality’ are increasingly used to obscure conversion ‘therapy’s’ harms and to evade prohibitions of such practices.”
Offering constructive counseling on this topic is actually illegal for the minors who most need it in many states dominated by Democrats. In Canada, you might get 5 years in prison for it.
GLAAD demands AI be proactive about imposing the LGBT agenda:
“AI content moderation tools must be continually updated and fine-tuned to catch fast-changing slurs, evolving dog whistles, and coordinated mass-reporting tactics targeting marginalized creators—without accidentally shadowbanning, suppressing, or censoring legitimate LGBTQ expression and identity terms,” GLAAD said.
The groomers at GLAAD are well known for attempts to corrupt children (see e.g. here, here, and here). They want AI to assist them in this regard.
