Joe Biden E-Mails Me

Posted on Comments

If you ever get signed up for one Democrat/liberal e-mail list, you will eventually be signed up for all Democrat/liberal e-mail lists. While covering the 2008 election, I signed up for e-mail alerts from the Obama campaign and my inbox is routinely flooded with crap. However, it’s useful to see what kind of desperate appeals the Democrats are sending to their supporters, like the one sent this morning by the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) “from” Joe Biden:

Friends —
I hate to admit it, but if we fail to respond to Republican attacks now, we’re going to be up the creek without a paddle.
The Republicans just announced a $30,200,000 all-out offensive targeting Democrats in key battleground states. That’s the kind of cash that could give Speaker Boehner his largest Republican majority ever.
But — it doesn’t have to. In 2012, when Barack and I were taking punches left and right, folks like you were there for us. And I can’t thank you enough for that.
Now, we need you again. The biggest midterm fundraising deadline yet is at midnight. Can you chip in $5 or more right now?

MIDNIGHT DEADLINE: ALL GIFTS TRIPLE-MATCHED!

[The following are all links to the DCCC donation page — RSM]

Chip in $5 immediately >>
Chip in $35 immediately >>
Chip in $50 immediately >>
Chip in $100 immediately >>
Chip in $250 immediately >>
Or click here to donate another amount.

Thanks,

Joe

P.S. I’m telling you — we can defeat these House Republicans who block just about everything President Obama proposes. But we’re going to need everyone in on this.
Can you chip in something today — even if it’s just 5 bucks?

As I say, these kinds of Democrat junk e-mails arrive in my inbox routinely, and I find it difficult to believe that even the most wild-eyed liberal fanatic could be persuaded to “chip in” by these scare tactics: “Oh, noes! Republicans are attacking us! It’s an all-out offensive! Send money! We’re going to need everyone in on this!”

On the other hand, if you’re stupid enough to vote for these clowns . . .

 

Men’s Conference Succeeds

Posted on Comments

Adam Serwer is a liberal journalist and when I saw his byline on a story about the first Men’s Rights conference, I feared the worst. Yet his article about the conference is surprisingly fair, perhaps because the organizers were well-prepared for media scrutiny. A genius move: Most of the speakers on the first day of the conference were women — and thus was debunked the accusation of misogyny.

This is one of the dirty little tricks of feminism: If you criticize feminists, you’re accused of hating women. But as someone who criticizes feminism on a daily basis — the founder of National Offend a Feminist Week — I know that the opposite is true. I criticize feminism because I love women. Heck, I even love the women who hate me. Feminists are just so cute when they’re offended, and when I read some radical lesbian’s denunciation of heterosexuality, proclaiming their “revulsion” toward the penis, my reaction is, “Yeah, baby. Keep talking sexy like that and I might buy you a drink.”

Earlier this month I mentioned that feminists had attempted to shut down the conference. (Because feminists hate freedom, that’s why.) They succeeded in getting the event moved from a Detroit hotel to a VFW post in the suburbs, but the conference itself was a success and — as the inaugural event was obviously not the hate fest its critics had claimed it would be — the organizers will probably have fewer problems in putting together future conferences.

My favorite quote from the Detroit conference is by Dr. Tara Palmatier: “When men can be shamed just for being men, and women no longer have any sense of shame, it creates a dangerously lopsided dynamic between the sexes.” Somebody ought to write a book . . .

Pimbly sent a slightly cryptic tweet:


But I realized instantly he was talking about my twitter profile, where a video/picture combination might trigger such an observation:

It’s like an absurdist Boxing Helena sequel: “BHII: Talking About ObamaCare At Thanksgiving”.
Or maybe it’s a sequel to “Rapture” after the Man From Mars ate her head:

Demi Lovato Keeps Dropping Hints

Posted on Comments

Either this is a coy, slow-motion “coming out,” or else it’s a clever marketing strategy to attract a niche audience, but maybe it’s both. Whatever it is, 21-year-old former Disney starlet Demi Lovato earlier this month performed for “my #LGBT brothers and sisters” at the Los Angeles Gay Pride parade and — although she has never publicly identified herself as a lesbian — she just keeps dropping hints:

Earlier in June, pop star Demi Lovato was named Grand Marshal at the Los Angeles Pride parade.
Then, on Monday evening, the actress-singer proudly showed her support for LGBT equality at Logo TV’s Trailblazers Awards show in New York City, which honored LGBT civil rights pioneers.
The 21-year-old Heart Attack songstress took to the stage and opened up about her grandfather being gay and the challenges he was confronted with before his death.
‘I’ve never spoken about this before, but my grandfather was a trailblazer himself,’ Lovato told the audience.
She explained: ‘He was brave enough to come out in the 1960s, and I feel that a lot of my spirit has come from him. He passed away a few years later and I only wish he could have been able to see all the progress that has been made.’

Uh, “I feel that a lot of my spirit has come from him”? Could you please be more specific, Miss Lovato? Like maybe take out a full-page ad in Variety and make an announcement? Because if you’re gay, I’m totally blaming it on Joe Jonas. And also the patriarchy.

But mainly Joe Jonas.

 

Lesbian Celebrated #LGBTPride Month by Murdering Her Wife, Police Say

Posted on Comments

Police say Tiffany Nowden-Vale (left) murdered Russina Vale (right).

There are hate crimes and then there are love crimes, I guess:

SAN DIEGO, Calif. — The former Colorado woman wanted in the death of her wife in California has pleaded not guilty to a murder charge.
Tiffany Nowden was arrested in California Tuesday. She had been wanted since the June 5 death of her wife, Russina Vale.
Deputy District Attorney Lindsey Carinci said the couple — who had an “on-and-off” relationship — reconnected last November and got married early this year. . . .

(Their “on-and-off” relationship? Definitely off, now.)

Heath said Vale was originally from California and decided to move back because she hated winters in Colorado.
Things seemed to be going well until late May, when Vale got into argument with Nowden at the Barona Casino, where the victim worked. Nowden was escorted off the Indian reservation, Carinci said.
The prosecutor said Vale sent an email to family and friends stating that the relationship with Nowden was over and that she was getting a divorce.

(Alas, it seems Nowden had other plans.)

Vale was found dead on June 5 when she didn’t show up for work.
Officers who made entry into the apartment found a naked Vale dead in her bed. She had been stabbed in the stomach, arm and chest, Carinci said.

By the way, there is no word on the fate of the couple’s two dogs, Scruffy and Bella, who disappeared after Vale’s murder.

Let us congratulate the lesbian community on this historic achievement: Equality in marriage and equality in murder.

 

Inmates Run the Facebook Asylum

Posted on Comments

Gabriel/”Brielle” Harrison (@nyteshade) is a “Sci-Fi/Fantasy lover,” IYKWIMAITYD. Gender Identity Watch explains more:

He is also a Facebook engineer who implemented the multiple gender options on Facebook. He has made public statements that he censored Gender Identity Watch.
Harrison does not apply Facebook’s Community Standards; rather, he engages in censorship of political speech by Women, Lesbians and Gay Men.

Read the whole thing, including screen-caps of Harrison bragging about meeting with “Facebook’s TLGB safety and fairness leader.”

If you’ve ever been targeted for online harassment, as I have, you know how maddening it can be to deal with people who tell you, “Oh, it’s just the Internet.” You may also be aware that mentally ill perpetrators of harassment habitually pretend that they are the victims. In the war of Internet annihilation which they initiated and refuse to cease, your acts of self-defense are portrayed as aggressions.

Now, imagine discovering that the online service you’re dealing with in your efforts to stop the harassment have entrusted your avowed enemies with authority to decide what constitutes “abuse.”

Gender Identity Watch is a radical feminist site — certainly no friend or ally of mine — that has been targeted by transgender activists who are trying to silence them. Why? Because they are feminists who refuse to go along with the sex-change pretense. The transgenders can’t stand being criticized under the banner of “feminism.” Radical women are being censored in the name of “fairness and safety.”
