Evidence Shows Hillary Clinton Is Corrupt

Today’s headlines via Memeorandum:

Emails Raise New Questions
About Clinton Foundation Ties to State Dept.
— Eric Lichtblau, New York Times

NYT: State gave Foundation donor

New Batch of Hillary Clinton Emails Show

— Byron Tau and Peter Nicholas, Wall Street Journal

Haven’t we seen enough evidence, ladies and gentlemen? Is there any room for reasonable doubt as to Hillary Clinton’s corruption?

These emails do not merely “raise new questions,” but rather provide new answers — conclusive proof that the Clinton Foundation raised money by providing donors with influence at the State Department.

UPDATE: Welcome, Instapundit readers! The good news is, (a) Hillary’s poll numbers are slipping again, and (b) Democrats are beginning to worry about her strategy. Let the panic begin!

The ‘Campus Rape Epidemic’ Witch-Hunt

Posted on | September 2, 2016 | 2 Comments

 

Ashe Schow reports at the Washington Examiner:

The number of lawsuits filed by students accused of campus sexual assault increased dramatically after the Education Department issued new guidance on how schools should tackle the issue.
Further, the percentage of lawsuits filed by either party involved in an accusation shifted heavily toward the accused, according to a report fom Stop Abusive and Violent Environments, an organization trying to reform the way schools handle accusations.
The Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights issued a “Dear Colleague” letter in 2011 that severely limited an accused student’s ability to defend himself while threatening to remove funding from schools that did not toughen up on campus sexual assault. In the wake of the letter, accused students have been expelled at what appears to be an alarming rate — for he said/she said situations that look less like sexual assault and more like regretted hookups — all in an effort for schools to show they are tough on the issue to avoid a loss of funding or a federal investigation.
The SAVE report found that accusations increased drastically after OCR issued its guidance. United Educators, which ensures about 1,000 colleges and universities across the country, received 262 claims of campus sexual assault between 2006 and 2010 [i.e., an average of 52 a year] — prior to the OCR guidance. Those claims increased to 78 in 2011 and 73 in 2012. And in 2013, the claims doubled to a whopping 154.
At the same time, lawsuits from students accused who had been wrongly expelled or punished also increased. Just after the OCR guidance was issued, in 2012, just one student filed a lawsuit (that we know of). In 2013 that number increased to 10 and continues to rise. In 2014, 34 accused students filed lawsuits, in 2015, the number peaked at 53. So far in 2016, 24 students have filed lawsuits.

(Hat-tip: Instapundit.)

Ashe Schow’s phrase, “he said/she said situations that look less like sexual assault and more like regretted hookups,” is an apt description of the typical case outlined in the more than 100 lawsuits filed by male college and university students who say they were falsely accused. Most of these cases involve alcohol. According to a 1996 study, “90% of all acquaintance rapes involve alcohol.” A 2009 report based on a survey of more than 5,000 students stated: “Most sexual assaults occurred after women voluntarily consumed alcohol” — about 80%. Feminists have had tremendous success in convincing college girls that (a) it’s OK to get drunk and have sex, however (b) if they later have any regrets about getting drunk and having sex, this means they were victims of rape.

This was made clear at Washington and Lee University, where a lawsuit alleged that a school official whose job involved investigating sexual assault “recently had given a talk on campus about ‘regret equals rape,’ or the argument that what first passes for a consensual sexual experience later can be called a rape by a woman who has second thoughts.” The university settled that case out of court, and thus avoided a trial that would have exposed the witch-hunt climate of sexual paranoia that feminists have created on campuses all across the country.

 

Discussing a case at Brown University, I explained this problem:

Feminists who claim there is a “campus rape epidemic” have been dismissive of concerns about false accusations and due process. Feminists contend that false accusations of rape are so rare that this possibility can be ignored, and the question of why women sometimes do lie about rape is treated dismissively. After a high-profile claim of gang-rape at the University of Virginia was exposed as a hoax, Janet Bloomfield examined the motives behind such false accusations: “12 Women Who Lied About Being Raped And Why They Did It.” Despite these concerns, however, states have passed laws and universities have implemented policies based on so-called “affirmative consent” doctrine which effectively makes it impossible for an accused student to prove his innocence. The mere accusation of sexual misconduct is now regarded as tantamount to proof of guilt . . .

Drunk people often do things they later regret, and there is a lot of drinking and sex on college campuses. The “rape culture” hysteria is about making male students 100% responsible for sexual activity, which means female students have 0% responsibility for their own behavior. “Empowerment” thus becomes a feminist synonym for irresponsibility.

Cop Impregnated 14-Year-Old Girl, Then Urged Her to Have an Abortion

Posted on | September 2, 2016 | 2 Comments

News from North Carolina:

A Lowell police officer has been arrested after being accused of impregnating a 14-year-old girl, officials told Channel 9.
Channel 9 reporter Ken Lemon broke the story Wednesday on Twitter and spoke to the girl’s mother. The State Bureau of Investigation is investigating the case.
James Blair was taken into custody Thursday afternoon after being arrested at the teen’s house. SBI agents were there talking to the family when Blair showed up, officials said.
Blair is charged with one count of statutory rape and more charges will follow, officials said. His bond was set at $1 million.
“My heart was broken,” the girl’s mother told Channel 9.
She said Blair volunteered to mentor her children. She said she was reluctant at first, but then agreed to it because he was a police officer.
Blair and the woman’s daughter had been texting on her phone, the mother said.
She said she then discovered text messages indicating that he took advantage of her daughter. . . .
Then the mother discovered text messages that indicated her daughter was pregnant and that Blair was the father.
One of messages, which is in the hands of the SBI, states, “If you keep that baby I’m done and you know it.”
Another said, “Do whatever you wanna do, just remember I love you and name it after me.” . . .
She said Blair had inappropriate contact with her daughter at his home and in his patrol car, and told Channel 9 that he confessed to her.
“He told me he took her virginity. He told me it was his baby. He told me things happened and he said he was so sorry. And he kept saying, ‘Please forgive him,’” she said.
She said then Blair asked her to do something that she considered unimaginable.
“‘Get rid of the baby or I’ve lost my life. I’ve lost my life.’ How do I kill a baby? I don’t kill no baby. I don’t believe in abortion,” the mother said.

“If you keep that baby I’m done and you know it.”

Yep. You’re done. Gonna be real popular in prison, I’ll bet.

A Young Gay Trump Supporter Confronts the ‘Politics of Personal Destruction’

Posted on | September 1, 2016 | Comments Off on A Young Gay Trump Supporter Confronts the ‘Politics of Personal Destruction’

 

Lucian Wintrich is an artist in New York who lost his job because of his “Twinks for Trump” campaign. (“Twink” is gay slang for an attractive young male.) If you think Democrats are pro-gay, you should know what kind of persecution they inflict on gay Republicans:

Wintrich had his social media accounts shut down, was continuously harassed, and then ultimately fired from his job at one of New York’s largest advertising agencies.

In a stunning exception to its normal partisan cheerleading for Democrats, NBC News did a surprisingly fair story about Wintrich:

 

At the LGBT for Trump event Milo Yiannopoulos hosted during the Republican National Convention, I briefly met Wintrich. Liberals have a habit of assuming all gay people are Democrats, the same way they assume all women, all black people, all Hispanics and all union members are Democrats. However, the Republicans are a party of ideas, and there is nothing about the ideas of economic freedom, national security and social conservatism that puts them off-limits to any group. The common liberal belief that all gay people are necessarily “oppressed” by social conservatism, for example, ignores the kind of a live-and-let–live attitude that most conservatives have toward what used to be euphemistically called “alternative lifestyles.” The Bible-believing Southern Baptist in Oklahoma isn’t interested in using federal authority to “impose his morals” on gay people in New York or San Francisco, but he resents very much the way liberals want to use federal authority to impose their morals on his community in suburban Tulsa. This is how the “Bake Me a Cake” issue arises, with militant gay activists as cultural bullies, and this in turn involves the Compulsory Approval Doctrine:

As a result of Supreme Court decisions . . . homosexuality has now gained the status of a constitutional right, which means that disapproval of [homosexual behavior] is effectively prohibited. This new dispensation, which we might call the Compulsory Approval Doctrine, has the consequence of abolishing religious liberty. “Marriage equality” requires universal recognition of same-sex unions. Woe be unto the baker who, for religious reasons, refuses to provide a cake or the florist who refuses to provide flowers for a gay wedding.

We need no speculative theory of the causes of homosexuality to understand this. The controversial “born this way” explanation of homosexuality does not hold up under scientific scrutiny, but that’s not the point. The conflation of conservative Christianity with “hate” is a liberal propaganda claim that Christians have failed to counter effectively, and Democrats exploit this to their advantage by encouraging gay people to buy into a victimhood mentality. As with women (victims of Republican “sexism”) and minorities (victims of Republican “racism”), this Democrat message doesn’t work if members of these Official Victim groups openly support the GOP, so Democrats brutally attack gay Republicans.

Feminists Are Lying Hypocrites

Posted on | August 30, 2016 | Comments Off on Feminists Are Lying Hypocrites

The feminist SJWs (“social justice warriors”) who accused #GamerGate of harassment were engaged in harassment themselves:

A group allegedly dedicated to stopping online harassment and abuse used the same tactics it claimed to abhor to harass those it disagreed with politically.
Crash Override Network, founded by Zoe Quinn after she became well known for being publicly shamed online by an ex-boyfriend, targeted people with whom it disagreed with — most notably, people who supported the Gamergate movement. . . .
Quinn used her new celebrity status to found Crash Override Network, which was supposed to stop online bullying. But internal chat logs from members who would eventually create the group, leaked by a member of the group, reveal that it used tactics such as doxxing (by which a person’s private contact information is published online in order to intimidate them) to harass people in the Gamergate movement or those who members of CON had a personal grudge against.
For example, the group discussed trying to contact the superior officer of a Purple Heart recipient who had expressed support of Gamergate to try to silence him. The group also discussed contacting Google in an attempt to get Justine Tunney fired after she also voiced support for Gamergate. . . .

Read the whole thing. Feminists are lying hypocrites. In other shocking news, fire burns, water is wet and Lindy West is still fat.

‘Trailer Trash’ and ‘Crazy Bitch’: Surrogate Mom Claims Abuse by Drewitt-Barlow

Posted on | August 30, 2016 | 1 Comment

 

When a San Diego woman agreed to be a surrogate mother for two gay Brazilian men who wanted to become fathers, she did not expect an ordeal that would leave her deeply in debt and mocked as “trailer trash” by the British millionaire whose agency brokered the surrogacy contract.

Megan Hoffner said she was left nearly $80,000 in debt, mainly from unpaid medical bills, after her dispute with the British Surrogacy Center, owned by millionaires Barrie and Tony Drewitt-Barlow. In 2015, Hoffner told her story to the Sunday Mail of London, sharing emails in which Barrie Drewitt-Barlow called her “trailer trash,” “a crazy bitch who deserves to be locked up” and an “utterly selfish cow”:

Millionaire businessmen Barrie and Tony Drewitt-Barlow present themselves as the poster boys of British surrogate parenting.
But for one surrogate the decision to work with their British Surrogacy Centre (BSC) has proved to be disastrous.
The Drewitt-Barlows were the first gay couple named on a surrogate baby’s birth certificate and went on to have four more children, set up their surrogacy agency and star in reality show The Parent Makers.
But 5,000 miles away in San Diego, Megan Hoffner claims she has been left £60,000 in debt, stands on the brink of losing her home and is embroiled in a legal fight which has taken her to the edge of financial ruin.
It is a complicated tale mired in claim and counter-claim from which no one emerges unscathed.
‘This whole process has been a disaster,’ she says.
‘The low point for me was going into hospital for an emergency Caesarean section and waking up to find nobody would tell me if the twins I was carrying were alive or dead. I still have nightmares and anxiety attacks to this day.’ . . .

Read the rest at the Sunday Mail. The Drewitt-Barlows were in the news again today when they appeared on a British TV program with their own now-16-year-old twins, Aspen and Saffron. Critics have called the commercial surrogacy industry a form of human trafficking:

That something is not quite right about surrogacy has been evident for some time. Ever since the commercial surrogacy industry kicked off in the late 1970s, it has been awash with scandals, exploitation and abuse. From the infamous “Baby M” case – in which the mother changed her mind and was forced, in tears, to hand over her baby – to the Japanese billionaire who ordered 16 children from different Thai clinics. There has been a total commodification of human life: click; choose race and eye colour; pay, then have your child delivered.
Then there’s the recent case of the American surrogate mother who died; or the intended parents who refused to accept a disabled child and tried to get their surrogate to abort; not to mention the baby factories in Asia.

Several countries have outlawed the womb-for-hire business.
