PowerLine Laid Out On Fainting Couch Over Ben Carson USMA Story And Small Arachnid, But Mostly Ben Carson

Posted on | November 6, 2015 | 27 Comments

by Smitty

As a service academy graduate, this story makes one go “Hmmm…”

I like Ben Carson, though in the race for the GOP nomination he’s far down my preference list. Thus, I was happy to defend him from what struck me as an unfair attack by CNN on his “personal story” (having to do with manifestations of anger as a teenager).

But now, the Carson campaign has admitted that the candidate’s story about applying [note, Carson never claimed to have applied] and being admitted to West Point is untrue. Politico uncovered the falsehood:

According to a story told in Carson’s book, “Gifted Hands,” the then-17 year old was introduced in 1969 to Gen. William Westmoreland, who had just ended his command of U.S. forces in Vietnam, and the two dined together. That meeting, according to Carson’s telling, was followed by a “full scholarship” to the military academy.

West Point, however, has no record of Carson applying, much less being extended admission. . . .

There are no ‘scholarships’ to any of the three academies. There are appointments. One is appointed Congressionally, or via the Executive Branch. I qualified for a Presidential nomination, as the son of a veteran, but attended on a Secretary of the Navy nomination, as a service member myself.

How nutty is this entire scandaletto? Nearly this nutty:


You can have high personal regard for the Doctor, and you can call this a sloppy non-troversy (it certainly doesn’t pass muster at a glance), but don’t call him a liar until he throws in some sniper fire, or claims that the West Point conversation occurred while cruising over Macho Grande.

TWEET. OF. THE. YEAR:

UPDATE. I stand corrected:

> There are no ‘scholarships’ to any of the three academies.
There are four service academies. USMA, USNA, USCGA, & USAFA.
There’s also a small factual error here:
> There are appointments. One is appointed Congressionally, or via the Executive Branch.
Appointment to USCGA is strictly merit-based; there are no nominations of any kind in its application process.

Is Ellie Clougherty a Liar?

Posted on | November 6, 2015 | 39 Comments

Joe Lonsdale and Ellie Clougherty in 2012.

It seemed like a perfect romance — a young high-tech entrepreneur and the former fashion model who met through a mentorship program at elite Stanford University. But after they broke up, the stunning beauty claimed she had been raped and abused by Joe Lonsdale. He was banned from the Stanford campus and sued by his ex-girlfriend Ellie Clougherty. What went wrong? What really happened? The truth in such matters is always difficult to know, but in the midst of the “rape culture” hysteria that feminists have incited on college campuses, this love-gone-wrong tale in California’s Silicon Valley took on a political significance:

After sightseeing in Rome [in March 2012], Lonsdale and Clougherty were together in the hotel room they were sharing when she started dressing for evening Mass. Lonsdale came up behind her and kissed her, touching her neck and hair and telling her she was beautiful. She had told him she was a virgin. Both agree they had sex. But what actually went on between them that night, and throughout their yearlong relationship, would become highly contested. After the relationship ended, Clougherty accused Lonsdale of sexual assault. Stanford investigated whether he broke the university’s rule against “consensual sexual and romantic relationships” between students and their mentors and, later, whether he raped her. The findings from the investigations have sparked a war of allegations and interpretations, culminating last month with dueling lawsuits, filled with damaging accusations. This case, which has been picked up by the media, does not fit neatly into the narratives that have fueled an ongoing national conversation about sexual assault of students on campus. But it exposes the risks of Stanford’s open door to Silicon Valley and the pressure that universities are under to do more for students who say they’ve been raped. . . .
In December 2012, Lonsdale wrote Clougherty a long email. “We are dealing with serious relationship dysfunction,” he began, and laid out a list of examples in bullet points. The first read: “Sometimes I feel it’s very clear you are eager to engage sexually, but other times you will talk about me taking advantage of you and forcing myself on you as if there is this dirty old man/young innocent student dynamic, and I should feel badly about it. We will do something and then just a bit later you’ll talk as if ‘how can I stop you from making me do that?’ and yet earlier I honestly thought you wanted to.”
Lonsdale spent Christmas with Clougherty at her family’s home. They fought about a number of things, including the fact that he didn’t bring her a Christmas present. When he got home, Lonsdale broke up with her over email. . . .

You can read the rest of that story, which Emily Bazelon wrote for the New York Times magazine in February. Permit me to remark what should be obvious: A girl who is (a) a professional fashion model, (b) smart enough to go to Stanford University, (c) devoutly Catholic and (d) still a virgin at age 21, is not Just Your Typical College Girl.

Joe Lonsdale, a millionaire who is eight years older than Miss Clougherty, certainly recognized her to be a special young lady, but the way he seduced her — and I think the word “seduced” is not unfair in this situation — created a predictable problem. Having persuaded her to forsake her religious ideals, Lonsdale should have expected the “serious relationship dysfunction” of which he later complained.

He “broke up with her over email”? Dear God!

This simply will not do, sir.

However princely your standing among your Silicon Valley peers, you can’t just seduce and abandon a girl like Ellie Clougherty and expect no reprisal. You sure as hell don’t break up with her via email. The sequel of this story — involving a Harvard “gender violence” conference and a decision to use federal Title IX law to require that Stanford punish Joe Lonsdale — is what made it part of the “rape culture” conversation. And that is why this story came to the attention of Emily Bazelon.

Because of the thoroughness of Bazelon’s reporting, especially her quotations of email correspondence between the couple, Stanford reversed its ruling against Joe Lonsdale, and Ellie Clougherty’s lawsuit against him has been settled. Bazelon makes an important point about how these stories are covered:

On Tuesday, the university reversed its finding of sexual misconduct and harassment, lifting the campus ban it had imposed on Lonsdale. Lonsdale agreed not to challenge the separate determination that he broke the rule against consensual relationships between mentors and students. That’s hardly in the same category as sexual misconduct and harassment. . . .
Last December, when Rolling Stone’s account of a brutal gang rape at the University of Virginia began to unravel, some commentators argued that we should nevertheless take claims of sexual assault at face value, on the grounds that statistically, they are very likely true. “I choose to believe Jackie,” Jessica Valenti wrote in The Guardian. “I lose nothing by doing so, even if I’m later proven wrong.” In The Washington Post, Zerlina Maxwell argued: “We should believe, as a matter of default, what an accuser says. Ultimately, the costs of wrongly disbelieving a survivor far outweigh the costs of calling someone a rapist.”
As Margaret Talbot pointed out in The New Yorker at the time: “That’s a position that makes moral and emotional sense for advocates and friends of the victim, whose primary role is to comfort and support. But it’s not a position that makes sense for journalists, whose job is to find out what actually happened.” It’s true that women don’t make a lot of false rape accusations to the police. That’s rare. But rare is not the same as never. . . .

You can read the rest of that article, which came to my attention because of Jessica Valenti’s (ill-advised) Twitter pushback against Bazelon’s criticism. A reporter like Bazelon has an obligation to pay attention to facts that don’t fit the preconceived prejudices of anti-male crusaders like Jessica Valenti and Zerlina Maxwell. A feminist is always prepared to believe the very worst about any man (as long as the man is not an elected Democrat), and is also obligated to pretend that women never lie (unless they are Republican women). Beyond her blatant partisan motives, Jessica Valenti has a direct financial incentive to advance the “campus rape epidemic” narrative, since this helps Valenti sell books and get lucrative speaking engagements. You cannot trust her, period.

Back in the day, a fellow who did what Joe Lonsdale did might have had to reckon with the vengeance of her father or brothers, or her new boyfriend might show up with some of his buddies, looking to even the score. The possibility of being confronted by a crew of angry rednecks was something a fellow down home could not take lightly, but the old-fashioned way of dealing with these things probably doesn’t happen very often at Stanford. However, turning these love-gone-wrong tales into Title IX cases and civil lawsuits is arguably a poor substitute for the ancient and simple customs of down-home Hillbilly Justice.

Well, what of Ellie Clougherty? She was a fool, even if she was also obviously in some sense a victim. Her fateful trip to Rome with Joe Lonsdale was her own decision, and once she had compromised her standards, what consequences did she expect would follow? A hitherto faithful Catholic, she made the all-too-common mistake of trusting “love” to guide her, and this was a tragic error.

Perhaps even worse than that folly, however, Ellie Clougherty’s decision to force Stanford into a Title IX proceeding against Joe Lonsdale — and subsequently to go public with her accusations against him — exposed her personal life to an examination that no wise person would ever deliberately invite. The confessional mode of so much feminist discourse, where women reveal the most intimate details of their lives in order to dramatize how they have been victimized by the oppressive patriarchy, has always bothered me. Many times I have thought about stories I could tell — which may or may not involve redneck girls and their angry boyfriends — to illustrate a point, but then decided that the Fifth Amendment is as valuable as the First Amendment. Some stories just aren’t worth telling, when you consider all the possible costs.

Is Ellie Clougherty a liar?

This is not a question I can answer, but it is a question that many will ask, because she told a story she could not prove true.

You know and I know, woman,
I ain’t the one.
I never hurt you, sweetheart.
I never pulled my gun.
Got bells in your mind, mama,
And it’s easy to see.
I think it’s time for me to move along,
I do believe.

Faisal Mohammad: Authorities Say Stabbings at UC-Merced Not Terrorism

Posted on | November 6, 2015 | 78 Comments

The knife-wielding student who stabbed four people Wednesday before being shot by police at the University of California-Merced was not acting on a political motive, officials say. Faisal Mohammad, 18, was pursuing a personal vendetta against fellow students who had excluded him from a study group, according to authorities:

The California student who went on a stabbing rampage before being shot dead by police had planned to kill a police officer, steal a gun and shoot the classmates who had kicked him out of a study group.
Faisal Mohammad, 18, a freshman who majored in computer science and engineering at the University of California, Merced, stabbed four people on Wednesday.
But the teenager, of Santa Clara, California, ‘had far greater intentions to do damage’, Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke said.
According to a two-page manifesto found stuffed in his pocket during an autopsy on Thursday, Mohammad had a detailed plan of revenge for the students who had expelled him from their group.
Mohammad had been carrying two plastic baggies of highly flammable petroleum jelly, ziptie handcuffs, night vision goggles, duct tape and a hammer in his backpack when he was shot in the back by officers.
He had planned to hold students hostage by using the plastic ties to bind their hands to their desks during class on Wednesday morning.
hen, he planned to call police with a fake distress call, ambush the responding officers and take their guns.
He intended to squirt the petroleum jelly on the floor to create a slippery surface for anyone entering the classroom.
But his attack on the class was foiled almost immediately and the four people he stabbed with a hunting knife — two students, a staff member and a building contractor — are all expected to recover.
Sheriff Warnke said the document written by Mohammad discussed his expulsion from the study group and listed the students he sought to harm as well as other violent musings.
Warnke added that although Mohammad made several references to ‘Allah’, he does not believe the attack was connected to religion or terrorism.
Earlier on Thursday, UC Merced Chancellor Dorothy Leland said the attacks were motivated by ‘personal animosities’ and a ‘vendetta’, not a political agenda. . . .
The student, described as ‘anti-social’ by his roommate, was ‘having fun’, one victim said, as he slashed the first student in the throat inside a classroom.
When construction worker Byron Price, 31, heard the commotion and intervened, he was stabbed in his left side by Mohammad as he tried to stop the attack.
‘He had a smile on his face, he was having fun — which is more what bothers me,’ Price told CBSFresno.
Sheriff Vern Warnke said that Price’s entrance into the classroom likely prevented the death of the first victim who was attacked.

Despite official statements that Mohammad’s attack was motivated by personal grievances, several commentators — including Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer — noted the resemblance between the UC-Merced violence and a recent series of knife attacks by Palestinian terrorists against Jews in Israel:

The Twitter account on which the attack was praised appears to be one of thousands that regularly reference ISIS, according to Terrorism Research & Analysis Consortium (TRAC), which translated the message. Veryan Khan, of TRAC, which monitors ISIS and other groups on social media, said ISIS mounted a call for stabbings on Oct. 18, with the release 19 videos, but could not say what motivated Wednesday’s attack.
“Over the past three days, the Islamic State has released nineteen videos encouraging Palestinians stabbing attacks on Israel,” Khan said. “The media campaign coincides with a wave of renewed violence between Israel and Palestine, after a wave of seemingly lone wolf attacks by Palestinians targeting Israelis.”

Determining the motive of a “lone wolf” terrorist could be difficult. Even if Mohammad himself declared his actions to be a matter of personal revenge, it may be that his antisocial attitude — the moody loner fantasizing about violent reprisals against those he felt had wronged him — could reflect the cultural alienation of a young Muslim man unable to adapt to secular Western society. Speculation about such factors, which liberals would condemn as “Islamophobia” when regarding Muslim criminals, is commonplace when violence is committed by persons whose background and choice of targets could be interpreted as suggesting a “right-wing” political motivation. If the UC-Merced attack had been perpetrated by a white Christian male who praised God in his “manifesto,” liberals would be quick to claim that this was right-wing violence inspired by talk radio, Fox News or Republican politicians.

The difference between (a) legitimately trying to understand the motives of attackers, and (b) trying to score political points for partisan advantage, is one we should always keep in mind when we see how the liberal media pick and choose which violent incidents to give saturation coverage, and how that coverage presents the “moral of the story.”

Too many journalists view the news as a series of opportunities to indulge in didacticism, intended to teach the news consumer liberal political lessons. This attitude means that events which don’t fit the liberal narrative are treated as “local news” of no national significance, whereas events that lend themselves to a liberal interpretation are highlighted, given in-depth coverage and made a focus of commentary by “experts” and pundits. Conservative criticism of media bias should be aimed at exposing to public scrutiny the falsehoods and distortions created by the political prejudices that prevail in the news industry.

People must have access to every fact in order to be able to form accurate judgments, and media bias tends to deprive people of facts that would lead people to question the liberal worldview. Once people realize that the media are attempting to deceive them, and that this attempted deception has political motives — e.g., to enhance the electoral success of the Democrat Party — then they begin to view media skeptically, to question the accuracy of what is reported, to seek out facts that are overlooked by the liberal media. There is a difference between skepticism and paranoia, of course, but once we realize that the partisan tilt in America’s newsrooms favors Democrat over Republicans by a factor of at least 4-to-1, there is never thereafter a moment when we can entirely trust the media to tell us the whole truth.

Rush Limbaugh: The Conservative-Media
Revolution Has Forced the Liberal Media
to Abandon Any Pretense of Objectivity

Limbaugh’s point is that in the past 30 years, under pressure from conservative critics, allegedly “objective” journalists have been unable to maintain their pretense of neutrality. The biased reporters, editors and producers at major news organizations like NBC, ABC, the Associated Press and the New York Times are no longer able to imagine that they are doing anything else than performing as cheerleaders for the Democrat Party. They cannot pretend to be anything other than partisan propagandists and, knowing that their readers and viewers are aware of their dishonesty, these journalists must either drop the mask of “objectivity” or else lose whatever self-respect they ever had.

Friday Fiction: 100 Word Story

Posted on | November 6, 2015 | 4 Comments

by Smitty

The sisters spied him and looked discreetly out the window as they sat on the loveseat; young, aristocratic, unapproachable.
We approached. They turned, and I immediately botched it: “I you ladies spoke the fork Ball?”
“What?”
Joe bailed me out: “What Jim was trying to ask before he was overcome with your radiance is whether you ladies had been invited to the Thanksgiving Ball.”
They blushed in stereo and the one closest to the window replied: “No, and maybe.”
We were set, both then, and a year later at the double wedding.
I never lived down the initial fumble, though.

The @Salon Pedophile Click-Bait Magical Internet Outrage Marketing Machine

Posted on | November 5, 2015 | 71 Comments

The liberal blog known as Salon-dot-com has spent the past 20 years losing money at a rate of more than a million dollars a year. Total losses by Salon-dot-com during the course of its existence are, as I said in 2012, “probably somewhere between $20 million and a metric buttload.” A few years ago, the proprietors of Salon-dot-com tried to sell it to another media company but negotiations reportedly broke down because nobody could figure out what Salon was worth, if anything. Exactly what the “investors” at Salon-dot-com aim to achieve — beyond providing employment for liberal writers — is uncertain, but profit is certainly not a goal. Promoting pedophilia on the other hand . . .

“I’m a Pedophile, But Not a Monster” was the headline on a particularly egregious recent example of Salon-dot-com’s habit of making soi-disant “counterintuitive” arguments on behalf of sexual deviance. Over the years, they have done this with every imaginable perversion and fetish. Nothing is too weird or too kinky for Salon-dot-com, whose editors are enthusiastically in favor of every kind of sex except normal sex. Your regular variety of husband-and-wife, penis-and-vagina sexuality — no, Salon-dot-com never has anything to say in praise of the kind of normal sex that normal people have. Instead, they’re always looking for the Confession of Strange Sex story, “How I Worked My Way Through Grad School as a Bisexual BDSM Dominatrix-for-Hire” or something.

The pro-pedophile stance of Salon-dot-com could be seen as just another example of their attempting to get cheap clicks, boosting their traffic by appealing to readers with perverse sexual appetites, i.e., Obama voters.

So when Salon-dot-com provided a platform to self-confessed pedophile Todd Nickerson, the Internet went wild with condemnation. The peasants in the online village wanted to take their digital pitchforks after Nickerson, to burn him at the Internet stake. Announcing himself to the world as a Creepy Dude Who Wants to Have Sex With Kids was not the kind of gesture for which pedophile Todd Nickerson could have expected to be praised, and yet the creepy dude nonetheless pretended to be shocked — shocked! — by the angry reaction:

I’m a pedophile, you’re the monsters: My
week inside the vile right-wing hate machine
My pedophilia essay outraged the right. My attempt to
humanize a real problem brought out their nastiest rage

You see? According to Salon-dot-com, you have nothing to fear from the Creepy Dude Who Wants to Have Sex With Kids. Instead, Salon-dot-com would have you believe, the real danger is “the vile right-wing hate machine.” It is the eagerness of Salon-dot-com’s editors to promote this bizarre worldview, in which Republicans are more dangerous than pedophiles, that makes “investors” willing to lose millions of dollars year after year to keep that crappy web site online.

Breitbart.com’s John Sexton had the distinction of being singled out by Todd Nickerson as an example of “vile right-wing hate,” and you see what that is about: Nothing says “right-wing hate” in the liberal mind more than the name “Breitbart” — you remember him, the guy who exposed a Democrat congressman as a pervert? Democrat politicians are perverts because Democrat voters are perverts who support Democrat policies that promote perversion, which are always praised by the Democrat perverts who write for sites like Salon-dot-com. Mothers are warning their children: “Stay away from that creep — he’s got an Obama sticker on his car. He’s probably a Salon-dot-com reader!”

Democrats are people who will tolerate anything — radical Islam, an illegal immigrant crime wave, transgenderism in public schools, rioters demonizing the police — as long as this “tolerance” is sold to them as “progressive,” and if they can convince themselves that the alternative to tolerating these things is to vote Republican. So if your son is being molested by his middle-school teacher, or your daughter is being “groomed” by a pervert on the Internet, you’re supposed to shrug this off as the necessary cost of “tolerance.” Actually wanting to do something to protect kids would make you part of the “vile right-wing hate machine,” and how can a Democrat voter even imagine doing that?

These “progressive” perverts celebrate the murder of innocent babies in the womb, and want to “humanize” child molesters, and you are guilty of “vile hate” if you disapprove of their agenda. But wait, look, here is yet another writer at Salon-dot-com, lamenting that an “intellectually curious” pedophile was arrested for trying to meet with a 10-year-old girl:

I tell friends, colleagues, and strangers I meet . . . when they fail to understand why I am sympathetic towards pedophiles, “How would you feel if you couldn’t ever have sex with anyone? What if you also couldn’t look at the porn you liked because it was illegal, and couldn’t confide in anyone for support?” By this point, most people begin nodding their heads in agreement.

(Are they nodding in agreement? Or are they thinking to themselves, “How can I keep this fruitcake away from my children?”)

The backlash that Todd Nickerson faced upon publicly writing about his personal struggle with pedophilia is a reminder that we, as a society, have far to go in challenging the way we think about this emotionally charged subject. But our current approach is not working.

So “we, as a society” are to blame for the “personal struggle with pedophila” of Creepy Dudes Who Want to Have Sex With Kids.

The “investors” at Salon-dot-com are willing to lose millions of dollars a year to make sure that message is delivered to the Democrat voters who read Salon-dot-com. Because “our current approach” — banning child pornography and putting child molesters in prison — “is not working,” you see. And for whom are these laws “not working”?

Creepy Dudes Who Want to Have Sex With Kids.

Also, “our current approach” is bad for the Democrat Party, because if pedophiles and child pornographers are serving long sentences in federal prison, they can’t vote for Democrats anymore.
