Ivanka Trump is too pretty to be a feminist.

That’s what MSNBC pundit Joan Walsh implied while slamming Ivanka’s “girly” dress at the G20 Summit.

Basically, Walsh suggested Trump cannot be a “true feminist” because she’s not a shrill dried-up hag.

While true feminism is about women being able to make their own choices — about their bodies, their careers, and their appearance — Walsh said Ivanka’s dress sent a “frightening” message that she’s nothing more than her father’s “property.” Say what?

“I don’t mean to sound sexist,” Walsh told MSNBC host Thomas Roberts. “It can be dangerous to comment on what women wear, but the fact that she sat in for her father in a dress that was so incredibly ornamental was such a contradiction in terms.”

Walsh continued: “In patriarchal, authoritarian societies, daughters have great value; they are property. And the message that she’s sending about her own value, about her place in the White House, and about the place of women in this administration, is really frightening.”

Keep in mind that “feminists” like Joan Walsh are pro-Islam advocates who never criticize the oppressive, misogynistic religion that tells women to cover their hair and wear modest clothing lest they get raped.

Walsh said there was something deeply disturbing about Ivanka Trump, a fashion designer, wearing a “girly” dress.

Ironically, Joan made the remarks while wearing makeup, jewelry, and sporting dyed brown hair to make herself look younger:

It’s a pink dress with big bows on the elbows. There’s something incredibly ornamental. That’s not a dress that’s made for work. That’s not a dress that’s made to go out in the world and make a difference.

That is a dress that is designed to show off your girlyness. Show it off, but don’t then tell us that you’re crusading for an equal place for women at the table, because you’re not.
The comments were so ridiculous that MSNBC host Thomas Roberts took issue with their sexist, hypocritical tone, NewsBusters noted. “So you can’t be a feminist and be girly at the same time?” he asked.

Walsh then tried to walk back her comments a bit. “You can be a feminist and be girly,” she said. “We all have our girly days, but I think showing up, taking your fathers’s seat in a pink dress with big bows on the sleeves is really an interesting message.”

Walsh’s remarks are so condescending and misguided it’s hard to believe they were made by a political pundit on live TV. If they had been made by a man, he would have been fired after being dragged on social media for being a misogynist and a sexist

If Walsh thinks caring about your appearance is so anti-feminist, why doesn’t she stop dying and styling her hair and wearing makeup?

The case of Charlie Gard — who has Mitochondrial Depletion Syndrome — is especially tragic because the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) isn’t refusing healthcare to him due to concerns about rationing resources. A massive fundraising campaign has raised over 1.3 million British pounds to get Charlie help by sending him to the U.S. for experimental treatments not available in the UK.

The European Court of Human Rights ruled against all pleas from Charlie’s parents to intervene to save their son. Not only did they receive that tragic ruling, they were also prohibited from taking Charlie home from the hospital to die.

President Donald Trump heard the story, and offered to take him in to the US to do anything we could to help.
In the latest update to the story, we’re again reminded that when the government controls health care, human freedom is limited. The parents of Charlie have no say over whether or not their child can receive health care in another country, as Fox News reported:

A British judge told the parents of terminally ill baby Charlie Gard Monday that they had until Wednesday afternoon to submit what he called “new and powerful evidence” demonstrating that their son should be kept alive to receive experimental treatment.
Judge Nicholas Francis set the deadline ahead of a second hearing planned for Thursday afternoon at the Royal Courts of Justice in London following a dramatic day in a case that has attracted the attention of Pope Francis and U.S. President Donald Trump, who tweeted last week that if the U.S. could help, “we would be delighted to do so.”

“There is not a person alive who would not want to save Charlie,” Judge Francis said, according to The Sun newspaper. “If there is new evidence, I will hear it. If you bring new evidence to me and I consider that evidence changes the situation…I will be the first to welcome that outcome.”

Actress Alyssa Milano has been “resisting” President Trump since the very first day that there was something to resist.

She was part of the Hollywood post-election meltdown on Twitter, she supported the “A Day Without a Woman” strike, and she recently threw her weight behind Democrat Jon Ossoff in the special election to fill the Georgia congressional seat left vacant by Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price (Ossoff lost to Republican Karen Handel).

But on Sunday, following the news of a confirmed meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian attorney, Milano thought she finally had the edge. She tweeted:
And the spectacular fashion in which her tweet backfired was a sight to behold.

First, the crossfire hit former President Barack Obama:
Then it bounced off Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.):

Hillary Clinton and CNN were collateral damage:
And then one person tied it to both Bill and Hillary Clinton, along with Barack Obama and former Attorney General Loretta Lynch for good measure:

The next time Ms. Milano decides to let loose, she might do well to consider a little military wisdom: always look down range before you open fire.

NEW YORK CITY — Hundreds of NYPD police officers turned their backs on left-wing Mayor Bill de Blasio when the Democrat spoke at a police funeral Tuesday — not the first time de Blasio has had the NYPD turn their backs on him in protest of his anti-cop actions.
Thousands of mourners gathered in the Bronx to pay tribute to Officer Miosotis Familia, who was assassinated as she sat in her police vehicle last week. De Blasio infuriated officers and New Yorkers alike when he flew out to Germany the next day to attend the G20 protests in Hamburg.
That anger was on display at the mother of three’s funeral, which took place at the World Changers Church in the Bronx. The New York Post reported that officers outside the church turned their backs as de Blasio’s eulogy was broadcast on screens.

Other officers chatted with one another and played with their phones during his eulogy, the Post reported.

However, the Mayor’s office dismissed the snub as a “bogus controversy.”

“A couple dozen people showed up to partake in a bogus controversy ginned up by the media and those looking to politicize Detective Familia’s death. That’s unfortunate,” a spokesman told The Post.

It isn’t the first time de Blasio has been snubbed by the NYPD. Officers turned their backs on de Blasio in 2015 at the funeral of Wenjian Liu, who was one of two officers murdered as they sat in their car.

NYPD representatives, as well as rank-and-file cops, were angered by a long list of what were perceived as anti-cop comments made by de Blasio, including one in which he talked about how he had to “train” his son on what to do if approached by cops, implying cops were racist.

“With Dante, very early on, we said, ‘Look, if a police officer stops you, do everything he tells you to do. Don’t move suddenly. Don’t reach for your cellphone,’” he said in 2014. “Because we knew, sadly, there’s a greater chance it might be misinterpreted if it was a young man of color.”

On Tuesday, NYPD union chief Ed Mullins told the New York Daily News that the bad blood between the mayor and the cops still exists.

Prince Charles has warned the lessons of the Second World War are in “increasing danger” of being forgotten.

Speaking at a fundraiser for World Jewish Relief, a humanitarian agency, the Prince of Wales remembered the “indescribable persecution” endured by Holocaust survivor and former Olympic weightlifting champion Ben Helfgott.

The Prince, who recently issued a veiled warning over the election of Donald Trump, said it was his grandmother’s sheltering of a Jewish family which inspired his work with a range of faiths.

“The work of World Jewish Relief enables us to rally together to do what we can to support people practically, emotionally and spiritually,” the royal, who was appointed patron of the charity in 2015, told a crowd of hundreds.

“Particularly at a time when the horrific lessons of the last war seem to be in increasing danger of being forgotten”.

The royal suggested Helfgott’s experience of persecution served as a reminder for not overlooking history, saying: “To meet Ben, and others who, like him, have endured indescribable persecution, is to be reminded of the danger of forgetting the lessons of the past.”

The Prince applauded the work the charity, which was established to support those fleeing Nazi Germany, did with impoverished Jews in Ukraine as well as those escaping the atrocities of Syria and Rwanda.

“It is about supporting local communities with what they feel they need and not about imposing solutions from outside.”

“World Jewish Relief shows us how vital it is to learn lessons from the horrors of the past,” he later added.

Rafi Cooper, the charity’s director of communications, told The Independent: “His Royal Highness provides a timely reminder that we need to reach within and beyond our own community, regardless of faith – a message that our Jewish values and history teach us is essential to avoid the horrors of the past being repeated.”

The Prince’s reference to “the horrific lessons of the last war” are reported to have been viewed by some in the room as a “thinly-veiled criticism” of Mr Trump. The President has prompted global condemnation for his immigration ban in recent days. Last week, the billionaire property developer signed an executive order suspending the entire US refugee admissions system for 120 days, halting the Syrian refugee programme indefinitely, and banning entry for people from seven Muslim-majority countries.
