Five — Count ’Em, FIVE — Flaming Skulls for FBI Whistleblower Report on Biden

Posted on | June 10, 2023 | Comments Off on Five — Count ’Em, FIVE — Flaming Skulls for FBI Whistleblower Report on Biden

Ace of Spades believes this is a report of extreme urgency, and therefore awarded the story one flaming skull alert for each of the five million dollars allegedly paid to then-Vice President Joe Biden by a member of the Burisma board. And by “member of the Burisma board,” of course I mean, corrupt Ukrainian oligarch. As I reported last week, this involved the congressional subpoena of an FD-1023 form recounting the FBI’s interview with a “confidential human source.” FBI Director Christopher Wray refused to comply with the subpoena by claiming that information in the form would compromise the source. Given the events of Thursday, however, we may conclude that Wray was stalling for time so that Special Counsel Jack Smith could indict Trump, thereby “burying” news of the revelations about Biden’s corrupt dealings in Ukraine.

Am I a conspiracy theorist for suggesting this? It doesn’t matter. The loss of credibility of the Deep State regime — which is their fault, not mine — predictably gives rise to paranoia, as the citizens witness the blatant double standards: Antifa rioters walk free without prosecution, while hundreds of pro-Trump protesters are sentenced to federal prison. Similarly, the Biden family’s corruption is covered up by the FBI and the DOJ, while a Special Counsel is appointed to prosecute Trump for a case which basically originated with some minor bureaucrat at the National Archives complaining about White House documents and thus triggering a massive FBI raid on Mar a Lago. Just like the election results in 2020 (which you’re a TRAITOR for doubting), all of this reeks to high heaven, yet we are powerless to do anything about it. If people don’t trust their government, don’t blame the people, blame the government.

Right-Wing Trump Supporter Charged in Murder of Black Transgender Woman

Posted on | June 9, 2023 | Comments Off on Right-Wing Trump Supporter Charged in Murder of Black Transgender Woman

As everyone knows, transphobic racist Republicans are constantly terrorizing LGBTQ people of color in cities like Atlanta:

Atlanta police on high alert after 2 Black trans women shot to death a week apart
April 21, 2023
ATLANTA — Police are working to determine if the murders of two Black transgender metro Atlanta women a week apart are hate crimes.
Friends and family shared photos of Koko Williams and Ashley Burton, who were both shot and killed earlier this month.
Williams, 35, was shot to death on MLK on Tuesday night. . . .
Koko’s murder marks the second in just a week involving Black transgender women.
Last Tuesday, friends said 37-year-old Ashley Burton was shot and killed outside of an apartment complex on Fairburn Road.
Activist Stasha Sanchez said Black trans women are being targeted.
“We’re some really strong people,” Sanchez said. “But we’re also always targeted, and I think that is something that is very important for the world to know that. You don’t have to target us.”
In a statement, Atlanta police said they’re investigating a third shooting that critically injured a Black transgender woman in January on Highland Ave.

Yes, black trans women are always “targeted” on Highland Avenue, Fairburn Road and MLK Boulevard in Atlanta, and if you know anything about the city, of course, these are the exact locations where you’d expect to find right-wing transphobic Trump voters.

The Human Rights Campaign sent out this press release in April:

HRC is deeply saddened to learn of the death of Ashley Burton, a 37-year-old Black transgender woman, who was killed in Atlanta, Georgia on April 11, 2023. Ashley’s death is at least the ninth violent killing of a transgender or gender non-conforming person in 2023, and the second death to occur in Georgia since the start of 2023. We say “at least” because too often these deaths go unreported — or misreported. . . .
More than 25,000 hate crimes in the U.S. involve a firearm each year, which equates to almost 70 cases each day, according to a 2022 report from Everytown for Gun Safety in partnership with HRC and The Equality Federation . . . The report also notes a marked increase in anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes, especially against transgender people. HRC’s own tracking of fatal violence against transgender and gender non-conforming people found that between 2013 and 2022, more than two-thirds of all recorded fatalities against transgender and gender non-conforming people involved a firearm — including over three-quarters of all reported fatalities in 2022. . . .
It is clear that fatal violence disproportionately affects transgender women of color, especially Black transgender women.

You might get the impression from reading this that the death of Ashley Burton was obviously a “hate crime,” of which we are assured that “almost 70 cases a day” involve firearms. But with the Atlanta police on “high alert,” this killer of transgender women of color — who was probably an NRA member, and possibly even associated with a dangerous hate group like Moms for Liberty — was certain to be caught eventually. And this week, the APD apprehended the suspect:

Accused murderer Darius Mills, 31

Convicted felon charged with murder of Atlanta hairstylist
ATLANTA – A suspect is in custody facing murder charges for the shooting of an Atlanta hairstylist in a southwest Atlanta apartment.
Atlanta police found 37-year-old Ashley Burton dead outside in a breezeway at The Elite at City Park apartments on the 400 block of Fairburn Road on the morning of April 11.
Investigators believe Burton was shot inside one other apartments and went door-to-door for help in her complex before she succumbed to a gunshot wound.
On Monday, officials say they secured warrants for 31-year-old Darius Mills in connection with Burton’s murder.
Mills, who is currently in custody at the Fulton County Jail for an unrelated incident, now faces charges of murder, armed robbery, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
While Burton was a transgender woman, police have not said if her gender identity had any connection with violence perpetuated against her. . . .
Authorities have not provided a possible motive for the crime.

“Possible motive”? The motive is obvious — TRUMP!

This guy was clearly a right-wing Republican, just like those guys in MAGA hats who attacked Jussie Smollett in Chicago.

‘Other Unruly Acts’ in Killadelphia

Posted on | June 9, 2023 | Comments Off on ‘Other Unruly Acts’ in Killadelphia

SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) is the public transportation system in Philadelphia and the resemblance of the acronym to septic is merely coincidental, but given the unhealthy conditions on SEPTA trains and buses — reeking of urine, etc. — it is an appropriate coincidence. In addition to the homeless drug addicts who plague the SEPTA system, there’s also the hazard of occasional gunfire. Police in Philadelphia are still seeking a suspect in the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old high school student on a SEPTA bus last month, an incident which should not be confused with the fatal shooting on a 14-year-old student on a SEPTA train platform last month.

Dana Pico asks: “As cities lose control of crime, how can anyone view public transportation as a solution to anything?” And of course, the answer is — liberalism, which causes people to view all kinds of things in an irrational way. Dana fisks a lengthy article in the Philadelphia Inquirer about the spiraling chaos afflicting the SEPTA system.

If there is a Pulitzer Prize for excellence in the use of euphemism, the Inquirer is making a strong bid to win it.

Recent high-profile shootings in and around SEPTA stations in Philadelphia reflect an alarming increase in violence . . .
However, the types of crime passengers are most likely to encounter on SEPTA are smoking, turnstile-jumping, public urination, and other unruly acts. SEPTA is struggling to manage the incidents.
These are not violent crimes but antisocial behaviors that make many people feel unsafe on the subway and El lines, according to interviews with multiple riders.

You see? It’s not really dangerous to ride on a train with criminals and dopeheads, the Inquirer wants its readers to believe. No, the problem is not the “unruly acts,” but rather that “many people feel unsafe.”

The Inquirer is engaged in promoting the idea that the real problem is not the “antisocial behaviors,” but rather the feelings of “many people” about SEPTA. And never mind those teenagers getting shot to death.

“People experiencing homelessness” is one of the artful euphemisms in the Inquirer article, and you can read the whole thing and find your favorite evasive phrases, but how about this social-justice sermon?

The social problems plaguing SEPTA and other transit agencies raise hard questions about justice and equity in a nation whose institutions have proved unable or unwilling to spend the vast sums that would be required to make serious progress against housing insecurity, emotional and mental health issues, and substance-abuse disorders.

Oh, we could “make serious progress” against these “social problems,” if only we were willing and able to “spend the vast sums”! So your teenager got shot on the bus, and there’s a junkie nodding off on the train in a puddle of his own urine, and why? Because you’re a cheapskate, who doesn’t want to spend “vast sums . . to make serious progress.”

Liberals may actually believe nonsense like that, but why must the rest of us be forced to live with the consequences of their folly?

I’ll Take ‘Symptomatic Evidence of Demonic Possession’ for $400, Alex

Posted on | June 8, 2023 | Comments Off on I’ll Take ‘Symptomatic Evidence of Demonic Possession’ for $400, Alex

Powerful urges to engage in self-destructive violence? Hearing voices in your head? Yep, sounds like satanic spirits are at work:

Elliot Page — the transgender Hollywood star formerly known as Ellen Page — has revealed that she was on a zoom call with a doctor to schedule transgender surgery “within weeks” of hearing voices in her head and engaging in a brutal round of self-mutilation, including punching herself in the face.
The “top surgery” to remove her breasts took place in November 2020. The following month, she announced to the world that she had become “Elliot.”
All in all, it appears that it took Page less than a year from when she decided she was transgender to the actual surgery. Page made the revelations in an interview published Thursday in the Los Angeles Times in which she said the voices in her head told her she was transgender.
The mental episode took place in 2020 while Page was in COVID isolation in a cabin in Nova Scotia following her recent breakup with her wife.
First, Page attempted to physically knock herself out by punching herself repeatedly in the face until bruises formed. Then she heard voices.
“You don’t have to feel this way,” Page said the voice told her.
“It was as if something in my brain turned around,” the actress continued. “The agonizing voice saying, ‘No, you’re not,’ ‘No, you can’t’ just switched and became very gentle and loving. ‘Oh, maybe I’m trans. Why don’t I explore that?’”
Within weeks, Page had scheduled a Zoom consultation with a doctor to discuss top surgery, the Times reported.

Father Lankester Merrin could not be reached for comment.

What Counts as ‘Hate’?

Posted on | June 8, 2023 | Comments Off on What Counts as ‘Hate’?

Being identified as a figure of “hate” by the Southern Poverty Law Center has long been part of my personal legend. Those of you old enough to remember when Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs was a popular conservative blogger — really, I’m not making this up — will also remember how, in September 2009, CJ pounced on me as an alleged “white supremacist,” relying on material from the SPLC.

To briefly summarize that conflict: I won, and CJ lost his mind.

Being the target of such an attempted character assassination is not an experience I’d recommend to anyone, but if you survive such an attempt, you become a hero to those who are sick and tired of the encroaching Thought Police regime that the SPLC represents. And nowadays, more and more people are becoming sick and tired:

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), an organization that frequently lists mainstream conservatives alongside hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan, has placed Moms for Liberty and other parental rights group on its “hate map” for being “antigovernment extremist groups.”
Florida-based Moms for Liberty was added to SPLC’s hate map along with 11 other parental rights groups, including several Virginia-based groups, according to the organization’s annual 2022 Year in Hate and Extremism report.
The inclusion of these 12 parental rights groups brings the SPLC’s total number of hate and antigovernment extremist groups to 1,225 organizations. Of those, 523 were “hate groups,” and 702 were deemed “antigovernment extremist groups,” which the parental rights groups fell under.
“Schools, especially, have been on the receiving end of ramped-up and coordinated hard-right attacks, frequently through the guise of ‘parents’ rights’ groups,” the SPLC’s report claims.
“These groups were, in part, spurred by the right-wing backlash to COVID-19 public safety measures in schools,” the report continued. “But they have grown into an anti-student inclusion movement that targets any inclusive curriculum that contains discussions of race, discrimination and LGBTQ identities.”
The SPLC claimed Moms for Liberty is at the “forefront of this mobilization,” and noted, “They can be spotted at school board meetings across the country wearing shirts and carrying signs that declare, ‘We do NOT CO-PARENT with the GOVERNMENT.’”

It’s possible — indeed, it seems likely — that the SPLC staff are too stupid to see that they are causing the “extremism” they profess to oppose. That is to say, by continually expanding the definition of “hate” and “extremism,” and by encouraging censorship and suppression of anyone who dissents from their liberal agenda, the SPLC compels people with more or less mainstream beliefs to engage in the kind of activism practiced by Moms for Liberty. Furthermore (and, again, I think SPLC staff are too stupid to grasp this), by denoting mainstream groups as proponents of “hate,” the SPLC undermines its own credibility and causes people who are not remotely “extremist” to question the whole rationale of this type of “hate”-hunting enterprise. Like, why should we even care if someone is prejudiced against gay people or black people or Jews or whatever? So long as they are not engaged in any actual criminal behavior, or advocating violence against others, people are free to form their own opinions. This whole business of “exposing” people as holding allegedly dangerous beliefs — which is to say, acting as Thought Police — is antithetical to liberty. And I think more Americans are beginning to reject the type of Thought Police agenda that SPLC pursues.

As for the alleged “anti-government extremist” group Moms for Liberty, they seem grateful to the SPLC for the free publicity.
