Tea at Trianon: Sex Traffickers and Predators Arrested

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Sex Traffickers and Predators Arrested

From The Daily Wire:

Donald Trump became president on Jan. 20. And in one short month, there were more than 1,500 arrests for sex crimes ranging from trafficking to pedophilia.

Big deal? You bet. In all of 2014, there were fewer than 400 sex trafficking-related arrests, according to FBI crime statistics.

Liz Crokin at TownHall.com has put together a great piece on the push by the Trump administration to crack down on sex crimes. And she notes that while "this should be one of the biggest stories in the national news... the mainstream media has barely, if at all, covered any of these mass pedophile arrests. This begs the question – why?"

Of course, the answer is twofold: One, it would take away from the daily meme that Trump is owned by the Russians; and two, it would show that the president really meant what he said when he vowed to come to Washington and "drain the swamp."

Plus, the surge in arrests shows that Trump is already getting a lot done, even in fewer than 50 days in office.

Trump had made sex trafficking a key issue, and his daughter, Ivanka, also wants to crack down on pedophiles and pimps. In 2012, Trump tweeted, "Got to do something about these missing children grabbed by the perverts. Too many incidents – fast trial, death penalty."

Crokin points out that Trump on Feb. 23 called sex trafficking a “dire problem."

"Dedicated men and women across the federal government have focused on this for some time, as you know. A lot of you have been dealing with the federal government and it's been much more focused over the last four weeks -- I can tell you that," he said at a "Listening Session on Domestic and International Human Trafficking."

"I'll direct the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies that have a role in preventing human trafficking to take a hard look at the resources and personnel that they're currently devoting to this fight. Now, they are devoting a lot, but we're going to be devoting more," the president said. (Read more.)

From Church Militant:

The MSM refuses to report on President Trump's war on pedophiles and on child sex-trafficking rings in spite of the recent avalanche of arrests which include the following:

Jan. 27: 42 arrested in a human trafficking operation in Tennessee

Jan. 29: 474 arrested in California (28 sexually-exploited children were rescued)

Jan. 18 to Feb 5: 108 arrested in Illinois sex-trafficking sting

Jan. up until Super Bowl Sunday: 178 arrested in Texas sex-trafficking sting

Jan: 16 arrested in Michigan for sex trafficking during the Detroit Auto Show

Feb: 11 arrested in Virginia child-sex sting

Feb. 14: 42 arrested in Florida child pornography related cases

The supposedly "unbiased" MSM has no qualms about quickly reporting on every sex abuse scandal involving the Catholic Church. The liberal media's ever-changing morality towards the grave evils of pederasty and pedophilia, however, has caused some journalists to question whether their tears are real or fake. (Read more.)
