A reporter with the German Press Agency had quite the trolltastic question for President Barack Obama during his joint press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, asking him if he had a “red line” in Ukraine, and how “Nobel Laureate Obama” could handle the situation. (VIDEO: Mark Levin: Obama Administration Have ‘Blood On Their Hands’)

“President, you said you have not yet made a decision as to whether weapons ought to be delivered to Ukraine,” she asked in a translated question. “What would be your red line? What would be the red line that needs to be crossed for you to decide a — an armament of the Ukrainian army? And what do you think will this hold by way of a promise, because the chancellor said it will make matters worse? What can the Nobel Laureate Obama do more to defuse the situation?”

Her question to Merkel was just as pointed, asking about “the breach of confidence” in U.S./German relations after the NSA phone hacking scandal, asking if it “played a role” in the difference of opinion of how best to deal with Vladimir Putin. (VIDEO: BBC Mocks John Kerry For James Taylor ‘Soft Power’ Diplomacy)

Obama audibly sighed after hearing the question. “Do you want to go first on this?” he asked Merkel.

French Graffiti Artist Beaten By #NotAllMuslims For ‘Coexist’ Tag

I don’t like graffiti artists, because I’m an ol’ fuddy-duddy and I think if you’re going to make a mess, you should do it on your own property. But that’s no excuse for attacking somebody. Especially when he’s advocating peace.

Coline Milliard, Artnet News:

It seems like something one would be hard pressed to disagree with: the word “coexist,” written on a wall using a Muslim crescent as the letter “C,” a Star of David as the letter “X,” and a Christian cross as a “T.”

But in Paris, this particular iteration of the popular inscription — here, created by the street artist Combo, who also pasted a life-size photo of himself next to it — didn’t go down well with everybody. Le Monde reports that four young people asked the artist to remove it last weekend, and beat him up severely when he refused to do so.

Combo ended up with a dislocated shoulder and many bruises.

I guess I shouldn’t assume they were Muslim. Could be one of those Jewish or Christian street gangs in Paris that you always hear about. When they see somebody mocking their beliefs, they just go on a rampage.

Plus, remember the Crusades? And… and… oh! And the Inquisition? Remember that? Who are you to talk, America? Get down off that high horse, shut your fat mouths, and just accept that you’re no better than these poor victims of Western civilization.

As-salamu alaykum.
