‘Carly Cut His Balls Off’?

Posted on | September 24, 2015 | 137 Comments

Certainly, many Fox News viewers must have been shocked Wednesday night by Rich Lowry’s comments to Megyn Kelly:

“Look Trump attacks everyone but she’s become a much bigger target. And I think part of what’s going on here is that last debate. Let’s be honest, Carly cut his balls off with the precision of a surgeon.”

Fox is becoming the anti-Trump network, as Trump himself has noticed and, whatever its effect on Trump’s campaign, I’m not sure that is a wise marketing strategy for Fox. The populist anti-Washington “mad as hell” voters who like Trump are a huge part of Fox’s viewership. Nor are the Trump voters a negligible component of the electorate:

Americans are “fed up” with politics, suspect the wealthy are getting an unfair edge, and think the country is going in the wrong direction, according to a new Bloomberg Politics poll that lays bare the depth and breadth of the discontents propelling outsider candidates in the Republican presidential field.
The survey shows that 72 percent of Americans think their country isn’t as great as it once was—a central theme of front-runner Donald Trump’s campaign. More than a third prefer a presidential candidate without experience in public office.
Three of the four candidates leading the Republican field fit that description: Trump, the first choice of 21 percent of registered Republicans and voters who say they lean that way, followed by neurosurgeon Ben Carson with 16 percent, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush with 13 percent, and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina with 11 percent.

My suggestion last night on Twitter:

People need to calm down about this primary campaign. We are still four months away from the Iowa caucuses. If Trump is your favorite candidate, OK. If you hate Trump, that’s OK, too. But there’s no point in conservatives denouncing their own friends and amping up the all-or-nothing rhetoric as if nothing else mattered.

Six months from now, in late March, a lot of people are going to disappointed that their favorite didn’t get the nomination, but so what? As long as the eventual Republican nominee wins in November 2016, conservatives generally will be happy, while liberals generally will be freaking out in paroxysms of rage and despair.

Imagine the disconsolate tears of liberals when Hillary loses. Be happy.

Florida Woman Disemboweled During Tequila-Fueled ‘Rough Sex’ Rage

Posted on | September 22, 2015 | 36 Comments

 

One of those stories that is simply beyond commentary:

In a tequila-fueled rage, a Sunrise man is accused of killing and disemboweling his girlfriend because she uttered her ex-husband’s name twice during sex.
Fidel Lopez called 911 about 3:39 a.m. Sunday and told the operator his girlfriend Maria Nemeth was having trouble breathing and was going to die, according to the arrest report filed in the case.
Sunrise police found Lopez crying for help next to Nemeth’s naked body on the floor of the bathroom with blood and body tissue around the apartment that Nemeth, 31, and Lopez, 24, had shared for about one week in the 1600 block of Northwest 128th Drive, the report stated. . . .
During questioning Sunday morning Lopez initially told investigators that he and Nemeth had been having rough sex and that she went into the bathroom, vomited and collapsed, the arrest report said.
Further questioning revealed a different story.
Lopez told detectives he became a “monster” when Nemeth called out her ex-husband’s name two times while they were having sex. . . .
Lopez said he inserted his arm up to his elbow and ripped out part of her intestines, detectives said.

As someone might say, “21st-century relationships.”

Europe Imports a ‘Rape Culture’ Feminists Want to Ignore

Posted on | September 22, 2015 | 45 Comments

Ask @AmandaMarcotte, @jaclynf, @JessicaValenti, @azbrodsky (or any of the other feminists who have spent the past year lecturing us about “rape culture” on American college campuses) their opinions on Islam, and their response will either be (a) silence or (b) an accusation that you’re a racist Islamophobic bigot. Feminists only care about rape as an issue to demonize so-called “privileged” males like the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity at the University of Virginia that was smeared by Rolling Stone in a journalistic hoax. So do not expect any feminists to notice this report about the Muslim “refugee” invasion of Europe:

A growing number of women and young girls housed in refugee shelters in Germany are being raped, sexually assaulted and even forced into prostitution by male asylum seekers, according to German social work organizations with first-hand knowledge of the situation. . . .
Approximately 80% of the refugees/migrants at the shelter in Munich are male . . . the price for sex with female asylum seekers is ten euros. . . .
Police in the Bavarian town of Mering, where a 16-year-old-girl was raped on September 11, have issued a warning to parents not to allow their children to go outside unaccompanied. In the Bavarian town of Pocking, administrators of the Wilhelm-Diess-Gymnasium have warned parents not to let their daughter’s wear revealing clothing in order to avoid “misunderstandings.” . . .
Conditions for women and girls at some shelters are so perilous that females are being described as “wild game” fighting off Muslim male predators. But many victims, fearing reprisals, are keeping silent, social workers say.
At the same time, growing numbers of German women in towns and cities across the country are being raped by asylum seekers from Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Many of the crimes are being downplayed by German authorities and the national media, apparently to avoid fueling anti-immigration sentiments.

The danger of “anti-immigration sentiments” is, in the moral calculus of the Left, far worse than the danger of women being brutally raped by immigrants. It was this same calculus that caused many British feminists to ignore the fact young English girls were being systematically exploited by Pakistani gangs in Rotherham. Better that teenage girls should be forced into prostitution, you see, than for feminists to admit that Muslim men were perpetrating this criminal violence. Why, such an admission might encourage “anti-immigrant sentiments”!

The United States saw a spike last month in the number of unaccompanied minors and families illegally crossing the southern border, the White House said Monday.

What could possibly go wrong?

Don’t worry. These are nice Muslim refugees. Obama likes Muslim refugees, so Muslim refugees are obviously good for America, right?

Alabama Man Indicted for Murder, Sodomy of His Daughter, 8

Posted on | September 21, 2015 | 136 Comments

 

Hiawatha Robinson, 38, had three previous felony convictions — for burglary, receiving stolen property and possession of marijuana — as well as a conviction for misdemeanor domestic violence. Despite his extensive criminal record, however, Robinson was not in jail when police say he killed his daughter during a sexual assault:

Hiawayi Robinson’s father, Hiawatha, has been indicted for murder and sodomy in her death, WKRG reports.
The 8-year-old girl’s body was found in September 2014 in Prichard. She was lying on her back and the lower part of her body was naked.
Three months later, Hiawatha Robinson was charged with her death, and the Mobile County District Attorney’s Office believes Hiawayi died during a sexual assault. He is being held on a $500,000 bail at Mobile County Metro Jail. . . .
In May, Hiawatha was sentenced to 30 months in a federal prison on the gun charge after he pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.

Meanwhile, the decadent liberal editors at Salon.com have published a story by a self-described pedophile who says he’s not a bad guy and wants everybody to pity him for his “sexual orientation.”

Obama Policy Defends ‘Boy Play’ in Afghanistan; U.S. Troops Punished

Posted on | September 21, 2015 | 45 Comments

Apparently, this is what “Hope and Change” looks like:

Rampant sexual abuse of children has long been a problem in Afghanistan, particularly among armed commanders who dominate much of the rural landscape and can bully the population. The practice is called bacha bazi, literally “boy play,” and American soldiers and Marines have been instructed not to intervene — in some cases, not even when their Afghan allies have abused boys on military bases, according to interviews and court records.
The policy has endured as American forces have recruited and organized Afghan militias to help hold territory against the Taliban. But soldiers and Marines have been increasingly troubled that instead of weeding out pedophiles, the American military was arming them in some cases and placing them as the commanders of villages — and doing little when they began abusing children.
“The reason we were here is because we heard the terrible things the Taliban were doing to people, how they were taking away human rights,” said Dan Quinn, a former Special Forces captain who beat up an American-backed militia commander for keeping a boy chained to his bed as a sex slave. “But we were putting people into power who would do things that were worse than the Taliban did — that was something village elders voiced to me.”
The policy of instructing soldiers to ignore child sexual abuse by their Afghan allies is coming under new scrutiny, particularly as it emerges that service members like Captain Quinn have faced discipline, even career ruin, for disobeying it.
After the beating, the Army relieved Captain Quinn of his command and pulled him from Afghanistan. He has since left the military.
Four years later, the Army is also trying to forcibly retire Sgt. First Class Charles Martland, a Special Forces member who joined Captain Quinn in beating up the commander.
“The Army contends that Martland and others should have looked the other way (a contention that I believe is nonsense),” Representative Duncan Hunter, a California Republican who hopes to save Sergeant Martland’s career, wrote last week to the Pentagon’s inspector general. . . .
When asked about American military policy, the spokesman for the American command in Afghanistan, Col. Brian Tribus, wrote in an email: “Generally, allegations of child sexual abuse by Afghan military or police personnel would be a matter of domestic Afghan criminal law.” He added that “there would be no express requirement that U.S. military personnel in Afghanistan report it.”

(Hat-tip: Jamie Weinstein on Twitter.) Let’s begin by praising the New York Times for actually reporting this story, a rare exception to their usual see-no-evil approach to the Obama administration’s policy failures. But also notice the rest of the media, while finding time to jump on Ben Carson for criticizing Islam, is not asking Democrats about this horrific policy of arming gay Muslim pedophiles at U.S. taxpayer expense, and punishing American troops who don’t like it.

Chuck Todd Creates Controversy by Playing ‘Gotcha’ With Ben Carson

Posted on | September 21, 2015 | 16 Comments

Contrary to anything you see or hear in the media, this is not a story about Ben Carson and it’s not a story about Islam. This is a story about the biased media, who play “gotcha” with Republicans in a way they never do with Democrats:

Ben Carson says the United States should not elect a Muslim president.
“I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that,” the retired neurosurgeon and Republican presidential candidate said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Carson’s comment comes on the heels of GOP front-runner Donald Trump taking a question from an campaign rally attendee who said, “We have a problem in this country; it’s called Muslims.” . . .
Carson, meanwhile, was asked Sunday whether a president’s faith should matter to voters.
“I guess it depends on what that faith is,” he said. “If it’s inconsistent with the values and principles of America, then of course it should matter. But if it fits within the realm of America and consistent with the Constitution, no problem.”
Asked whether Islam is consistent with the Constitution, Carson said: “No, I don’t — I do not.”

Pamela Geller comments:

Candor about Islam will guarantee you the hot seat at the center of a media firestorm.
The GOP is the only one of the two parties that will even discuss the 800-pound elephant in the room: jihad and Muslim terrorism. Islamic supremacists and their leftist lapdogs in the media are waging their own jihad to silence this debate, and it is critical that we push back and support candidates who dare to speak against the gravest threat to our national security.

Ben Carson is defending himself, and I doubt he will be seriously damaged by this phony controversy. Do not expect Chuck Todd or anyone else in the biased media start throwing “gotcha questions at Hillary Clinton or any other Democrat. Chuck Todd and NBC consider it their job to help elect Democrats, period.
