Rebekah Jones Update

Posted on | June 19, 2021 | No Comments

In case you didn’t see this story already, the fake “whistleblower” Rebekah Jones attempted to destroy the career of a Ph.D. student at Florida State University who only wanted to help get Florida’s COVID-19 death totals accurately counted. The word “psychopath” is now being widely used to describe the woman who was the subject of “Everybody Blog About Rebekah Jones Day” a couple months ago. Because I am a professional journalist, however, I would hesitate to use the clinical term “psychopath” because I have no credentials to make such a diagnosis and it might be construed as defamatory. Nevertheless, I have previously stated my opinion that Jones is “deranged, demented, daft, wacky, bonkers, non compos mentis, off her rocker, nuttier than a Snickers bar, a few fries short of a Happy Meal, and cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.”

Meanwhile, my podcast partner John Hoge has the latest developments in the criminal case of Florida v. Jones, in which the fake “whistleblower” is charged with “offenses against users of computers, computer systems, computer networks and electronic devices.” Lawyers for Jones filed a motion to dismiss the charge, and the prosecutor filed his response to her motion, and a judge will rule on these motions soon enough.

This means that Rebekah Jones is still at large, so be careful out there because, you know, Crazy People Are Dangerous.

Say Good-Bye to Victoria’s Secret

Posted on | June 19, 2021 | No Comments

Remember Rule 5? “Everybody loves a pretty girl.” No one is really offended by Elsa Hosk modeling sparkly underwear for Victoria’s Secret. Sure, some people will say they’re offended, but in reality they’re just envious. Face it, if you looked like Elsa Hosk, you’d probably walk around in sparkly underwear all the time. But because you don’t look like Elsa Hosk, nobody wants to see you in sparkly underwear, and they certainly aren’t going to pay you to prance around in lingerie.

Most of us have adjusted to this reality. We’ve accepted our fate. We’re never going to be at the apex of human beauty, and nobody’s ever going to pay us to walk around in sparkly underwear. We’re not Swedish supermodels, but despite our aesthetic deficits, we manage to carry on, and for most of us — we, the non-Swedish non-models — our disadvantage is something we don’t even think about. We admire the beauty of those who have it, rather than resent our own lack of it.

Because we are not feminists.

Feminists hate beauty. Feminists hate love. Feminists hate everything good and wholesome and wish to destroy whatever makes us happy, e.g., Swedish supermodels prancing around in lingerie.

In 2001, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show got 12.4 million viewers, which is about 10 times the audience for CNN, because nobody wants to watch Brian Stelter walk around in sparkly underwear. By 2018, however, the Victoria’s Secret audience had dwindled to less than 4 million, and it was cancelled (unlike Brian Stelter, who continues to have a show on CNN that almost nobody watches). So no more Elsa Hosk strutting down the runway in lacy lingerie — a victory for feminists. Just to put an exclamation point on this destruction, however, now Victoria’s Secret has decided to “rebrand” itself by hiring a bunch of ugly women:

It was once one of the most glamorous brands in the world, known for its catwalk show of sexy, slender models, who would train for months to ensure they looked the part.
But after facing years of plummeting sales figures and ongoing backlash over its lack of diversity, Victoria’s Secret has finally succumbed to its critics by coming up with a new way of promoting the brand after its famed catwalk show was cancelled in 2019.
The lingerie giant has unveiled its new ‘diverse’ line-up of spokeswomen, which includes Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Megan Rapinoe.
Indian actress Priyanka, 38, who is married to singer Nick Jonas, and LGBT advocate and footballer Megan, 35, join a roster of other diverse ‘leading icons’ that have been recruited to ‘shape the future of the brand’, Page Six reported on Wednesday.
A source told the publication that the women won’t be posing in lingerie, but will ‘instead appear on a podcast and in marketing materials for the recovering brand.’
Priyanka and Megan will reportedly join Sudanese-Australian model Adut Akech, freestyle skier Eileen Gu, Brazilian transgender model Valentina Sampaio, plus-size model Paloma Elsesser, and journalist Amanda de Cadenet, who is set to host a 10-episode podcast where the women will share their stories. . . .
[Martin] Waters, who was appointed chief executive in February after serving as head of Victoria’s Secret’s international business, told the New York Times that the brand ‘needed to stop being about what men want and to be about what women want.’
He added: ‘I’ve known that we needed to change this brand for a long time, we just haven’t had the control of the company to be able to do it.’

Anyone who expects this project to succeed is welcome to offer a wager. If you really think Victoria’s Secret is going to do better with transgender models, fat women, and purple-hair lesbian soccer players than it did with Swedish supermodels, put your money where your mouth is. But obviously this “rebranding” isn’t about saving the company, rather it’s about destroying the company — the ultimate “Get Woke, Go Broke.”

Are You a Terrorist Threat? Do You Spread ‘Malicious Content Online’?

Posted on | June 16, 2021 | No Comments

If we’re going to start pointing fingers at “extremists,” what about you? Or me? Who among us is safe from the shadow of suspicion?

President Joe Biden’s administration announced their plans to create ways for Americans to report radicalized friends and family to the government, in an effort to fight domestic terrorism.
In a conversation with reporters, one senior administration official explained the importance of stopping politically fueled violence before it started.
“We will work to improve public awareness of federal resources to address concerning or threatening behavior before violence occurs,” the official said.
The official cited the Department of Homeland Security’s “If you see something say something” campaign to help stop radical Islamic terror as a domestic possibility.
“This involves creating contexts in which those who are family members or friends or co-workers know that there are pathways and avenues to raise concerns and seek help for those who they have perceived to be radicalizing and potentially radicalizing towards violence,” the official said.
Biden began his presidency with a stark warning in his inauguration speech about the “rise in political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat.” On June 1, Biden described the threat from “white supremacy” as the “most lethal threat to the homeland today.”
The Biden administration said it would also work with large technology companies on “increased information sharing” to help combat radicalization.
“Any particular tech company often knows its own platform very well,” the official noted. “But the government sees things — actually, threats of violence — across platforms. They see the relationship between online recruitment, radicalization, and violence in the physical world.”
The Department of Homeland Security also plans to deploy “digital literacy” and “digital fitness” programs to help combat “malicious content online that bad actors deliberately try to disseminate.”

Are you encouraging skepticism toward the Biden administration’s policies? That’s “malicious content,” you extremist! Got a Trump bumper sticker on your car? Your neighbors will rat you out to the Department of Homeland Security, because obviously that’s “threatening behavior.”

Hey, let’s talk about “unindicted co-conspirators” for January 6.

Read all about it at Revolver News. However, if you share a link to that on Facebook, you may be accused of spreading “malicious content.”

Robbery Victim Shot Seven Times, But He Survived. Why? Because He Shot Back

Posted on | June 15, 2021 | No Comments

This crime didn’t happen in a ghetto, but in a thriving suburban commercial area west of Houston, Texas, in a McDonald’s parking lot:

Houston police have just released surveillance video of a violent robbery that happened on May 28 in which the victim was shot seven times.
They hope someone may recognize the suspect they believe is responsible for not only this crime but another violent robbery that happened on May 7.
Houston police said a man pulled into a fast-food restaurant parking lot in the 3100 block of Fountain View on May 28 because he wanted to grab a shirt out of his trunk.
He was ambushed by a suspect who put a gun to his head and demanded his property, police said.
When he refused, the suspect started shooting at him, striking him seven times in the chest, legs and hand.
“A lot more of our suspects have guns involved, and not only do they have guns, they’re using them,” said Sr. Ofc. Jeff Brieden with HPD’s Robbery Division.
Police said while the man was being shot at, he was able to reach for his gun and fire at the suspect, who was possibly injured but he got away.
The victim was able to get back inside of his vehicle and drive away to find help. He survived after two days in the hospital.
Officer Brieden thinks the suspect followed the victim, possibly for his BMW convertible or Rolex watch. . . .
During an investigation into this robbery, police discovered shell casings from the suspect’s gun matched the same shell casings from a robbery that happened on May 7 in the 2700 block of Travis.
Police said two people had just gotten out of their vehicle and were approached by an unknown man who pointed a gun at them while demanding their property.
The victims ran away from the suspect who police said shot at them twice, narrowly missing them.
The only description police have of the suspect is that he is a Black man who is about 5 feet 10 inches tall. He has a skinny build and on the robbery that happened May 28, he got away in a small white SUV.

While there was no description of the weapons involved, my guess is that the robber must have been using a smaller-caliber pistol because how else do you survive seven shots? The key factor, however, is that the victim decided not to be a victim. Watch the video:

 

Once the victim fired back, the robber took off running.

Look, if you’re going to drive around in a BMW and wear a Rolex watch, you’d better be prepared to deal with carjackers and thieves.

It’s 2021, Joe Biden is president and the judges everywhere are turning loose violent criminal because “social justice” or whatever. You may think you’re safe because you live in a “good” neighborhood, but bad guys from bad neighborhoods might decide to visit your neighborhood.
