The latest social media freak-out du jour concerns a cookie. Yes, you heard right — a cookie.  A local business called the Edmonds Bakery is at the center of this week’s freak-out.

It’s amazing how these things burn so bright and then poof, they’re gone. Last week the big scandal was the Covington Catholic High School kids in the MAGA hats. This week the “national scandal” is right here at home.

The bakery, owned by Ken Bellingham, made a bunch of cookies for Valentines Day with phrases like, “Cool beans” and “Addicted to love.” The small business is well-known for writing somewhat suggestive phrases on its cookies in icing to be funny. One of the cookies last week said, “Build that wall.”

Everybody in America has to be offended over everything, and so one woman who is the daughter of immigrants photographed this one cookie and shared it with news outlets. Now it has gone viral.

Now she is putting white supremacy and racism into this one cookie. A frosted cookie is racial in her mind. Building a wall is something that an awful lot of Americans support, because it would cut down on drugs, illegal immigration, and crimes across the country. Remember, we allow a million people to legally immigrate to this nation every year.

This small business owner is going through a tough time now because a bunch of people on the left are sending him hateful messages, putting mean fliers on his door, and calling for a boycott of Edmonds Bakery. And it’s all because a woman can’t handle three words on a cookie.

The key point here is that whatever he put on the cookie that is described as hateful, the response is a thousand times more toxic. That’s the irony of the so-called “compassionate” people who get so triggered by things like this.
