Everybody Is Shocked — Shocked! — the Administration Falsified ISIS Intellgence

Posted on | September 10, 2015 | 39 Comments

Political “leaders” demand dishonest spin:

More than 50 intelligence analysts working out of the U.S. military’s Central Command have formally complained that their reports on ISIS and al Qaeda’s branch in Syria were being inappropriately altered by senior officials . . .
The accusations suggest that a large number of people tracking the inner workings of the terror groups think that their reports are being manipulated to fit a public narrative. . . .
The analysts have accused senior-level leaders, including the commander in charge of intelligence and his deputy in CENTCOM, of changing their analyses to be more in line with the Obama administration’s public contention that the fight against ISIS and al Qaeda is making progress.

Ace of Spades:

So, how does a president who’s failing catastrophically overseas hide that information from his domestic audience?
Simple answer, really: You lie about everything.

It’s Potemkin villages all the way down.

Equality: Women Raping Women

Posted on | September 9, 2015 | 23 Comments

Gayle Newland of Cheshire, England, is on trial for five counts of sexual assault. Prosecutors say that Newland, 25, invented a false persona, “Kye Fortune . . . a half-Filipino, half-Latino young man,” in order to trick a woman into sex. “Kye” claimed to have been disfigured by surgery for cancer and convinced the victim to wear a blindfold during their trysts. During their final encounter, the victim became suspicious and removed the blindfold: “Gayle was just standing there … I just couldn’t believe it, I couldn’t believe it. Straight away she held her hand down over her face and said ‘it’s not what you think’.” The victim testified Tuesday: “People get raped by males and it sounds sick but I think I’d prefer it.”

In another such impersonation case, in April a judge in Scotland gave Christine Wilson probation for seducing two underage girls:

The 26-year-old from Aberdeen, who has “gender identity disorder”, previously admitted two charges of obtaining sexual intimacy by fraud in a legal first in Scotland.
She told her teenage victims her name was Chris and had sexual contact with both of them on various occasions in 2008 and 2010. Her first victim ended the fraudulent relationship after being shown Wilson’s passport photograph.
Lord Bannatyne said the offences were very unusual and added that the fact that her disorder led her to “genuinely feel” that she was male had significantly lowered her “culpability”.
He put her on probation and ordered her to carry out 240 hours of community service. . . .
One of her victims, Megan Adie, who is now 18, said she was devastated by the non-custodial sentence, adding: “She will be able to go back to her own house and lie in her own bed again. I will also be lying in mine, still trying to deal with what she has done to me.
“I really hope the judge has really thought this sentence through because if Christine does this again, I hope he knows it’s on his conscience.”
Wilson had repeated sexual contact with her first victim in 2008, and with Miss Adie, who was a virgin when they met, in 2010. She told her she was a 16-year-old male, and used a sex toy to persuade her of her sex.
The court heard earlier that Miss Adie regarded her as her “first love” and struggled to come to terms with her deceit when police told her the truth in August 2010.

As Professor Reynolds says: Teach women not to rape!

Did Trump Feel Like He Was A Black Woman While Having Military Feelings?

Posted on | September 8, 2015 | 55 Comments

by Smitty

This blog is not clear whether an opportunity for modern emotional politics is being missed or not:

the Republican presidential candidate and multibillionaire business tycoon said in a forthcoming book that he still “always felt that I was in the military” because he attended a military boarding school and “dealt with those people.”

Had Trump also felt even momentarily black, and or female, while harboring military sentiments, the base of his appeal could be expanded considerably beyond those with weird hairstyles and a craving for primal scream politics.
In summary, if you’re gonna feel, feel yuuuuuge.

‘A License to Lie’

Posted on | September 8, 2015 | 16 Comments

Hans Bader says the federal Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR) “is gradually turning Title IX into a license to lie about sexual harassment and assault”:

Courts have ruled that dishonest people who bring sexual harassment charges over conduct they falsely claim was unwelcome can be fired, in cases such as Vasconcelos v. Meese (1990). And they have recognized that sexual slander and smears can create a sexually hostile environment in violation of federal law in cases such as Jew v. University of Iowa (1990) and Spain v. Gallegos (1994).
But in a recent investigation finding Michigan State University in violation of Title IX, OCR required college administrators to offer “remedies” to “Student A,” who both OCR and the university found had made a false allegation of unwelcome sexual misconduct against two fellow students. OCR’s reasoning was that the university did not begin proceedings against the accused students fast enough (even though it immediately kicked them out of their dorm and ordered them to stay away from the accuser). . . .
The accused students, whose lives were turned upside down by the charges, were innocent. The university investigator ultimately found their conduct was welcome, and thus not sexual harassment or assault. Moreover, OCR itself noted in pages 30-31 of its investigative report that “OCR’s review of the investigator’s report and his supporting documentation led OCR to conclude that the preponderance of the evidence did not support a finding that Student A was subjected to unwelcome sexual conduct that created a sexually hostile environment.”
Yet, OCR suggested the college should “remedy” the imaginary harm caused by its failure not to process her false complaint faster. On pages 40-41 of its report, OCR declares that “under the terms of” its agreement with the university, “the University will … contact Student A” and “offer” her “remedies to address any harm incurred as a result of the University’s delay in processing [her] complaints,” which might involve things like paying for counseling, providing academic assistance, or letting her retake a class she was enrolled in during that period.

Read the whole thing at Liberty Unyielding. Not only are there no penalties for making false accusations, but administrators are being forced to offer “remedies” to false accusers.

Totes Sure That Trump U. Is Absolutely The Only Scam Associated With Donald

Posted on | September 7, 2015 | 30 Comments

by Smitty

Happy Labor Day. I’ve certainly been busy. But not too busy to get a laugh out of

‘They’re a bunch of frauds’: Former Trump University students say The Donald shouldn’t be president, school was a scam

Really, people:

In a lawsuit pending in Manhattan Supreme Court, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says 600 ex-Trump U. students in the state were defrauded. Trump Organization counsel Alan Garten defended the school as “a substantive, real program” that “offered people valuable training, valuable courses and valuable mentorships.”
He provided sworn affidavits of eight students praising the school, with some saying they’d initiated successful real estate deals as a result of their training.
So far, Judge Cynthia Kerr has found Trump violated state education laws by calling his entity a “university” when it wasn’t licensed as one. She will decide on possible restitution after a yet-to-be scheduled hearing.
Meantime, two more class-action lawsuits are pending in California.

Just because a few grumpy students were unhappy about the action they were getting in class (SWIDT?) is no reason to get all weak-kneed about President The Donaldness. This minor confusion can be papered over with sufficient frogskins. Chill. What’s absolutely certain is that, for all his years living the life of Hugh Hefner in a bespoke suit, he remains Dominican* in personal matters.

One can be absolutely certain that the main difference between El Donaldo and Mitt Romney is that Trump’s French vocabulary stops at wine. No embarrassing Free Money infomercials. No Gloria Allred showing up with a phalanx of Kardashian-esque bimbettes claiming all kinds of improbable sexual gymnastics.

Nope. None of that. Once he weathers Trump U, it’s all downhill from there. Does everyone believe that?

*Referring to his humidor, not the Dominican Order.
