According to an 8 August 2018 report from The Last Line of Defense (LLOD) website, it is now illegal to serve pork and for women to appear in public without wearing burqas (Islamic head coverings) in the 109th congressional district of Michigan: Of course, Michigan doesn't have a 109th congressional district (it has 14 congressional districts, total). Nor does it have a so-called Allah Just'ava'nosh Mosque in Dearborn, or a county commissioner named Art Tubolls (both are obviously made-up names, the latter an anagram of the equally faux Busta Troll). These wacky faux details reveal not only that the story is a fabrication, but also that it was generated by the same online trolling operation responsible for cranking out scores of so-called satirical articles like it before. The Last Line of Defense, which publishes clickbait junk new articles calculated to inflame the sensibilities of conservatives, is part of a network of several such sites (including Reagan Was Right, Freedum Junkshun, and Daily World Update). The present example plays on the fears of those who are convinced that Islam is a threat to Western Civilization and intent on destroying America from within through a program of creeping sharia. Dearborn, Michigan has often (and falsely) been cited as an example of a U.S. city taken over by Muslims. A disclaimer on The Last Line of Defense reads as follows:
