Tumblr + Feminism = GENIUS!

Posted on | March 12, 2015 | 39 Comments

The digital armpit that is Tumblr.com seems to be the preferred medium of young feminists who, although they have accomplished nothing and have no credentials, find that they can become Internet Superstars by disparaging men. It seems that the most formulaic, banal and stereotypical derision of males is enormously popular with a certain type of young woman. Here we find Thea, who is all about “female liberation” and proclaims zero tolerance “for soulless male devils.” Thea offers her expertise on male emotional inadequacy:

straight men repress their feelings so severely with their friends and family, and then they come across a girl (whos been socialized to be Empathetic and Nurturing) and they find that they can tell this girl about their Feelings ! everythings great she’s The One ! in reality they just have a normal human bond but actually connecting with anyone is so foreign to men and their emotionally barren male relationships that it seems like something great and wonderful. so now girl is put on a pedestal that she’ll eventually fall from bc she’s human and not just a Male Feelings Receptacle and everyone loses all bc fathers refuse to cry in front of their sons

Thea’s treatise received more than 20,000 notes in five days.

What would we call a man who generalized so broadly about females? I mean, “soulless . . . devils”? Nevertheless, denouncing “straight men” as “emotionally barren” (we notice the absence of caveats or qualifiers in Thea’s rhetoric) is applauded as a genius insight in this bizarre hate-filled universe of Tumblr feminism.

Almost makes you nostalgic for MySpace . . .

Ferguson Update: Three Questioned After Shooting of Two Police Officers

Posted on | March 12, 2015 | 30 Comments

We reported this morning that two police officers were shot in downtown Ferguson, Missouri. The investigation into that shooting led to what police called a “tactical situation” at a home in Ferguson. KTVI reports:

Police swarmed a house in Ferguson, just four blocks from the Ferguson Police Department, where the shooting took place ,according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A tactical team scaled the home and tried to break in through the attic, where they believed one of the suspects may have been hiding. The house is located on Dade Avenue, near Tiffin Avenue.
After breaking through, there was no one found. Two men were however escorted from the home in handcuffs, as well as the woman who rents the home. Police would not comment on the situation.
Raw video from the scene showed protesters pointing to a nearby hill after shots rang out at about midnight. Police say they officers were shot from about 125 yards away.

Meanwhile, the two wounded officers have been released:

Two area police officers seriously wounded after they were shot while standing along S. Florissant Road directly in front of the Ferguson Police Department Thursday morning have been released from the hospital.
The officers are from St. Louis County and Webster Groves. . . .
St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar says at least three shots were fired. The Webster Groves police officer, a 32-year-old who has been on the force seven years, was shot just under his right eye, in the high-cheek area. The bullet is lodged underneath his right ear. . . .
The St. Louis County officer, a 41-year-old with 14 years of law enforcement experience, was shot in his right shoulder. The bullet traveled through his back and out between his scapula and spine.

Warner Todd Huston comments:

The “BlackLivesMatters” rioters insisted that the shooter wasn’t with them as they gathered outside the police station.
But other witnesses note that there were two distinct groups of protesters. One group marching and chanting peacefully and another one getting increasingly mean spirited, loud and violent. In fact, as the cops were lying on the street shot, one protester is heard on video saying that they deserved what they got.

Obviously, expect more updates as this breaking story develops.

UPDATE: Shell casings were found at the scene, indicating a semiautomatic handgun was likely used in the shooting.

UPDATE II: Ace of Spades comments:

The left is having spasms that people on the right are suggesting that these shootings just might be the result of a viciously false narrative peddled by the radical left, the President, and their fellow travelers in the media.
In every other shooting, the left goes looking for the toxic politicsthat animated the shooting, and tries to connect it with a politician’s words; here, they’re aghast that anyone would be so gauche to do that.

We will continue monitoring developments in the investigation.

Two Cops Shot in Ferguson

Posted on | March 12, 2015 | 26 Comments

Months of anti-police agitation produce the expected consequences:

Two police officers were hit by gunfire early Thursday outside the Ferguson police department.
The shots were fired just after midnight as police were confronting protesters who had gathered outside the police station.
St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said one officer was with his department and the other was with the Webster Groves department. Both were being treated at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, where Belmar spoke.
The chief said at least three shots were fired. He described the injuries of both men as “very serious wounds.”
The Webster Groves officer was shot in the face. He is 32 and has been on the force five years.
The county officer was hit in the shoulder. That officer is 41 and has been on the force for 14 years.
Belmar said no suspects have been identified in the shootings.

Via Memeorandum. This incident occurred the same day Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson was forced to resign.

UPDATE: The two wounded officers have been released from the hospital and police are still searching for the gunman.

EmailGate Is Just How Her Majesty Rolls

Posted on | March 11, 2015 | 22 Comments

by Smitty

Trende gets close to the bone in Why Clinton’s Emails Matter, which you should read. But it’s not just a case study in Advanced Scandal Choreography, as we move from

  • Bibi (“Quick, #OccupyResoluteDesk is too amateurish”) to
  • Her Majesty’s Secret Email Service to
  • Oh My God! Those 47 GOP Senators said something concise and cogent pointing out, for the 1,103 time this Administration, the Rodeo Clown ain’t got sack.

As Trende points out, scandals come and go, cancelling across parties stochastically and sarcastically. Closer to the election is certainly worse, and Her Majesty must know that she’s got a full-on zombie parade to await, should the Royal Syllables condescend to grace the ballot. But this is Her Majesty, Hillary What-difference-at-this-point-does-it-make Diane I’ve-schemed-for-this-for-decades-and-this-is-MY-turn Rodham If-you-make-a-last-mistake-and-cross-me-you-get-Foster-care Clinton.

The woman doesn’t give a tinker’s dam about anything. This is the woman who doesn’t just fully comply with every rule, but “I fully complied with every rule I was governed by.” A look at her soiled career from Watergate to now indicates she’s been governed (in the sense of properly controlled) pretty much never. It’s always some angle, some nuance, some loophole she’s working.

A Hillary administration would likely deliver some email-gate style outrage frequently, perhaps weekly. Do you doubt that ObamaCare would be terminated and replaced with Single Prayer, should Her Majesty be the next Commie in the oval office? An even more weaponized IRS/DoJ tag team showering goon squads on the South and flyover country?

The good news  about Her Majesty oozing toward a run is that these and other foreseen horrors are going to bring conservatives out of slumber. Every election is the Most Important Election In U.S. History, and 2016 isn’t going to disappoint in that regard.

Let Us Enjoy A Moment When We’ve Something Nice To Say Of Stacy’s Cousin

It’s not often that I can give a thumbs up to fellow IFNAG and Senator John McCain, but signing Senator Cotton’s letter was the Right Thing To Do.

Vox is about as clueful on this point as they were on Her Majesty’s email.

McCain told Politico that:

“I saw the letter, I saw that it looked reasonable to me and I signed it, that’s all. I sign lots of letters.”

McCain’s statement, reported late on Tuesday when the furor over Cotton’s letter had become a national scandal, seems clearly intended to minimize his actions by making them seem commonplace and inconsequential.
Just signing a letter! Who among us hasn’t signed letters? Basically the same as the family update your mom mails to all her cousins every Christmas — they’re all just “letters.”

Well, yeah, read it, Vox bimbo. This is the same blog where another Vox knob said of the letter:

This is a direct strike at the president’s ability to conduct foreign policy without congressional interference. Presumably, Clinton doesn’t like the precedent: after all, Senate Republicans could do something similar to a President Clinton in 2017.

Now, I’m old enough to remember that fabled, pre-unitary executive America, when the Senate had a responsibility to ratify treaties. Rumor has it that the Vox staff thinks “treaties” are what they get from neighbors at Halloween.

No wonder I don’t read Vox. I feel dumber from even this tiny exposure.

The World Keeps Getting Weirder

Posted on | March 11, 2015 | 27 Comments

In Guildford, England, a 55-year-old transsexual named “Dawn Love” took her Blackberry for repairs. Staff of the store “found images of people having sex with horses” on the phone:

During a search of her home and a camper van, officers also found a DVD showing women having sex with dogs.
A jury took just half an hour to find the 55-year-old, was born a man, guilty but cleared her of the second count relating to the DVD. . . .
[Prosecutor Kate] Mallison told the jury of six men and six women: ‘What was found on the phone were two videos of images of someone having sexual intercourse or oral sex with an animal, namely a horse, which is banned by law.
‘As a result of her arrest, her property and car were searched and in her car a DVD was found containing a number of images showing someone having sexual intercourse or oral sex with a dog. …’
The jury at Guildford Crown Court heard that Love worked in a West End club for gay and transsexual people . . .
The court heard Love took her phone into the 02 store in Camberley, Surrey on July 26, 2013 after her emails stopped working.
Horrified staff found two video clips called ‘Sally Horse’ and ‘Hannah’ showing video clips of women having sex with horses.Both clips featured a logo reading ‘zoosection.com’. . . .
When asked why she had not tried to find out who had given her the DVDs, she replied: ‘I do not know the people who get into my van and tie me up and have sex with me. I wouldn’t know where to start.
‘Nine times out of ten I am off my head on drugs.’
Miss Mallison said: ‘Is it just coincidence that the two pictures are of the same nature as the DVD?’
Jobless Love replied: ‘I have all sorts of DVDs, several of black men who are well endowed. I never ask people’s names, I just get tied up, have a good time and never see them again.’

Meanwhile, in the Philippines:

A man has been accused of raping a string of animals including cows, horses and even water buffalo in the Philippines.
Andy Loyola was arrested after he was allegedly caught having sex with a cow which had been reported missing by its owner in Silang, near Manila. . . .
Loyola has also been accused by the farmer of raping his other cattle a number of times, including horses and water buffalo. . . .
The 46-year-old, who is believed to have been under the influence of drugs, is being held in custody at Silang Cavite Municipal Police Station, south of Manila. . . .

Lena Dunham could not be reached for comment.

Called ‘Fat Cow,’ @LenaDunham Has ‘Hired Her Own Personal Tweeter’

Posted on | March 11, 2015 | 26 Comments

Her parents are rich and they sent her to Oberlin College (annual tuition $48,682). Through her family’s wealth and influential connections, she scored a deal for an HBO series that is supposed to be a “comedy” but isn’t remotely funny. Almost nobody watches Girls, but it is effusively praised by critics because it’s supposed to express the hip young feminist zeitgeist or something. She wrote a book in which she described molesting her baby sister and also lied about being raped at college, deliberately libeling a Republican student activist named Barry.

Gosh, I wonder why everybody hates Lena Dunham?

Lena Dunham has said that abuse and threats from Twitter trolls left her feeling a “mess” — and she has now hired her own personal tweeter.
The Girls creator admitted that she finds it difficult to deal with the level of abuse that she receives online, despite her reputation for not caring what other people think. . . .
“[You’re] like, ‘oh my god, that’s so funny, somebody called me a fat cow who deserves to be dragged through the street,’ but it does affect you internally,” Dunham said during a Q&A session at the annual PaleyFest in Los Angeles, Variety reported. . . .
The 28-year-old, who spoke alongside her fellow cast members and the executive producers of the HBO series, has now hired a woman to take care of her Twitter account. Dunham said she composes her own tweets but doesn’t log onto the social media site herself, although she is kept abreast if there’s an “important response”.

Lena Dunham is a selfish brat who has been protected all her life from the consequences of her own irresponsibility. Never once in her life has she done anything decent or generous, and instead has made a career of corrupting our culture. She has earned a reputation for dishonest cruelty. Like all such monsters, she cannot stand it when people tell the truth about her. And now she seeks pity as a victim?

She is mean and she does suck. But don’t tell her that on Twitter. You could never hate her as much as she deserves to be hated.
