Democrat Drano-Snorting Continues

Posted on | September 15, 2013 | 22 Comments

by Smitty

Fresh from either his triumphal partnership with–or, if you prefer, basketball-esque dribbling at the hands of–Vladimir Putin on the Syria red line topic, #OccupyResoluteDesk has re-discovered his swagger:

I’m happy to have a conversation with him about how we can deal with this so-called sequester, making across-the-board cuts on things that we shouldn’t be cutting….There are ways of doing this it’s just they haven’t been willing to negotiate in a serious way on that.
What I haven’t been willing to negotiate and I will not negotiate is on the debt ceiling.

I guess Afroman still believes Obama, but he’s still not touching ground, either, IYKWIMAITYD.

What’s fascinating, seeing the wretched wreckage of Democrat idiocy in California, Illinois, and Michigan, is that Terry McAuliffe can find anyone in the state of Virginia to heed his no-talent rodeo clown act:
That sure looks like ‘Gentleman’ Jim Moran wobbling in the background, by the way. Terry should listen to what actual Virginians have to say:

If you live in the Commonwealth, I have two points for you:

  1. Tell the Medicare Innovation and Reform Commission that breech-loading a creaky system in the name of ‘caring’, so that it ‘splodes, does not constitute caring.
  2. Elect

Ken Cuccinelli for Governor

Barack Obama is all the no-talent rodeo clown that Virginia can handle

COLLEGE COMMIES AT C.U.N.Y.!

Posted on | September 15, 2013 | 69 Comments

Where’s Joe McCarthy when we really need him?

Protests against General David Petraeus Monday by CUNY students were organized by an ad hoc committee that includes several Communist groups.
A leaflet for the protests, which refers to Petraeus as a “war criminal” and “mass murderer,” says that the events were organized by the Ad Hoc Committee Against the Militarization of CUNY and were endorsed by the Internationalist Group, Workers Power-US, and IGNITE.
These groups are explicitly Communist in nature. Workers Power states that it is a “revolutionary, communist organization . . . in the tradition of Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Trotsky.” The Internationalist Group uses the hammer and sickle alongside its articles. IGNITE is a self-described “communist youth league.” . . .
Erick Moreno, a senior at Queens College and a member of Students Without Borders, a group that endorsed the protest, confirmed that the leaflet came from the committee, which he said serves as a “united front of student, faculty, and community organizations that are taking on the task of promoting this campaign to oust General Petraeus from CUNY as well as ROTC and military contractors from the CUNY system.” . . .

(Via College Insurrection.) A cruelly ironic question: How is it that the United States “won” the Cold War, yet anti-American Marxism is now the default doctrine of our nation’s colleges and universities?

The Word Is ‘Depravity’

Posted on | September 15, 2013 | 120 Comments

Yeah, I was working on a long article about pedophiles, but had to set that article aside when somebody called this story to my attention:

Jonathan Adleta reportedly dreamed of the day he could have “daddy-daughter sex” — and ultimately his dream came to fruition.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, when his then-girlfriend Sarah became pregnant with his daughter, Jonathan Adleta refused to marry her unless she allowed for him to sexually abuse their daughter.
She accepted. If she later had a son, Sarah was expected to have a sexual relationship with him, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
The couple reportedly made sex with their children “part of their parenting plan.” . . .
In 2012, Jonathan Adleta then reportedly found a new girlfriend who also agreed to let him have sex with her daughter.
The girlfriend, Samantha Bryant, 23, not only allowed Jonathan Adleta to have sex with the child, but watched and even took pictures. At the request of Jonathan Adleta, she even performed sex acts on her own daughter. . . .
Bryant reportedly pled guilty to sexually assaulting her own child and allowing Jonathan Adleta to exploit the little girl. . . .

Read the whole disgusting thing. It might be kinda relevant.

Richard Dawkins could not be reached for comment.

UPDATE: Worst mother ever?

A University of Central Florida student allegedly recorded herself sexually abusing children while a man in North Carolina watched live over the Internet.
Sarah Adleta, 28, was arrested Friday, the Orlando Sentinel reported. The FBI received a tip [in March] that the Oviedo woman had sent nude photos of herself with a child and sent them to Aaron Dixon of North Carolina, according to a criminal complaint obtained by the paper.
FBI agents say Adleta admitted she had been sending photos to Dixon for about a year, and also confessed to performing sex acts on a child on camera while video-chatting with Dixon over Skype. It is unclear how Adleta and Dixon knew one another.
Neighbor Cheney Mills told Local 6 that Adleta had offered to babysit her children in the past, but Mills always felt that something seemed amiss. “I feel so good I went with my gut and never let her watch my kids,” Mills told the station.

Gosh, and I thought Kelley Hunt Smith was bad . . .

Why is Florida crawling with so many perverts nowadays? I’m not sure, but Obama got 50% there in November. Just sayin’ . . .

Could Bill Schmalfeldt Get Any Crazier?

Posted on | September 14, 2013 | 46 Comments

One hesitates to ask such a question, considering what endless insanity we’ve already seen from the deranged cyberstalker.

Today, however, Bill Schmalfeldt had a meltdown (yes, another one) that led to him ranting on and on about Ali Akbar and . . . well, this:

He made Ali’s face the background for his Twitter profile.

Obsessed with a black man much, Bill?

Tell you what, Bill: Why don’t you go make some more “mail-order bride” slurs about Aaron Walker‘s wife? And when you’re done with that, please call me a “racist.” Because consistency.

What a demented freak . . .

#Spambot Wars: Fake @Twitter Accounts With (Coincidentally) Large Breasts

Posted on | September 14, 2013 | 52 Comments

Coincidences just keep piling up everywhere, like big-breasted spambots on Twitter. John Hoge writes:

Have I mentioned that someone keeps trying to have around 15,000 sock accounts follow Aaron Walker, Stacy McCain, and me?

All three of us are targets of a lawsuit by Brett Kimberlin and so, yeah, this is probably all just a coincidence, right? Donald Douglas:

Fake Follower @Twitter Spam
Mars Company’s IPO Rollout

Coincidence? Let’s ask six eminent online specialists, Melba Hermiston DDS (@DrSusanChristia), Rosamond Borer (@LuisBorer5682), Thurman McCullough (@Flavie_Graham__), Anjali Mertz IV (@Lou__Bailey8565), Miss Bailee Tremblay (@BertNitzsche116) and Cruz Halvorson MD (@Cooper_Walter_I):






Perhaps some readers may ask, “Stacy, do all these spambots following you have large breasts?” No, of course not. Some of these fake Twitter accounts have incredibly ginormous breasts:

You may wish to confirm this finding with such respected social-media research experts as Emile Stokes Jr. (@Mann__Noah_2840), Agustina Jacobi (@DrDevyn_Sipes__), Earnestine Kirlin (@MrCarlos_Marks_), Abigayle Spinka (@MrJohnsonDestin), Devon Wilderman (@MrsBarrett_Lebs) and Mrs. Sean Lebsack (@MissRolfsonTerr):






Of course, not all of the thousands of fake accounts following me are large-breasted females. It’s just that when I wanted to illustrate the point — i.e., that the same few hundred avatar photos are being re-used over and over in these spambots generated by an algorithmic software program — certain examples struck me as visually compelling.

Coincidental? Hardly. And neither is the fact that I’ve been targeted by thousands of these swarming spambots, which is why I really want to see Twitter pursue criminal charges against the creator of these fake accounts. Until there’s a federal indictment, we’re not going to know who is responsible for this harassment.

And if Twitter doesn’t pursue charges — well, I guess they’re not really serious about cracking down on fraudulent accounts, are they?

Guess everybody’s excited about the Twitter IPO, huh?

Of Course, This Is What Republicans Need: More Advice From Their Enemies!

Posted on | September 14, 2013 | 71 Comments

Headline of a Salon.com article I won’t link:

Mann and Ornstein: “Brighter future
for politics and policy requires
a different Republican Party”
The Republicans have become a party beholden to zealots
— with little respect for science, facts or compromise

Science! Facts! Compromise! Yes, Democrats are famously devoted to these values, and the only problem in American politics is that Republicans are not equally scientific, factual and compromising.

Last time I checked, Salon.com was losing money at the rate of $2 million a year — TWO MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR FOR A FREAKING LIBERAL BLOG — which makes their daily net loss $5,479.45.

Here’s an offer for Reince Priebus: You pay me $38,356.15 a week, and I’ll tell Republicans how to win elections. We got a deal?

UPDATE: Donald Douglas reminds me that in July, Norm Ornstein criticized Republican efforts to “sabotage Obamacare,” saying that these efforts were “sharply beneath any reasonable standards of elected officials with the fiduciary responsibility of governing.”

Ornstein is a dinosaur, a fossil who was marginally relevant 25 or 30 years ago when “Scoop Jackson Democrats” still existed, but who has become merely another obsolete pundit nostalgic for “bipartisanship.”

Wake up, Norm: The Democrat Party is now controlled by radical leftists devoted to liquidating all opposition By Any Means Necessary. Your own usefulness to the Democrats has passed its sell-by date. And if Republicans listen to your advice, they’re hopelessly doomed.

‘Gosh, Stacy, There’s No Way @Twitter Could Spot All These Fake Accounts’

Posted on | September 14, 2013 | 67 Comments

Excuse me for belaboring the obvious, but I’ve gotten pretty damned fed up with certain “friends” making excuses for Twitter’s inability to stop this influx of spambot accounts. So say hello to Patsy Moen (@MsGiovanna__Sto), Zakary Greenfelder (@Chet_Senger_967), Kirsten Stiedemann (@Conroy_Evan7897), Myrna Schulist Sr. (@MissNia_Kulas__), Annamarie Eichmann (@MrsGerhold_Cory) and Laurie Lehner (@Block_Lia_1657):






Honestly, I’m trying to maintain a sense of humor about this:

The problem is that the ease with which these spammers have gamed the system — creating a simple algorithmic software program that auto-generates thousands upon thousands of these fake accounts — exposes gross negligence by Twitter personnel that degrades the quality of the network, and this is highly relevant now that Twitter is seeking to take their product to the public capital markets:

Last December, Twitter announced that it had more than 200 million active users — people who used the service at least once a month.
A few months later, CEO Dick Costolo told employees he expected to get to 400 million users by the end of 2013, according to people familiar with the company. . . .
One factor that may have thrown off Twitter’s growth targets from earlier this year has been spam. The company went through a significant campaign to get rid of bogus accounts earlier in the year, people familiar with the company said. That effort was successful enough that it ended up shrinking Twitter’s true user number.

Big headlines for the big news:

A Short Post, a Big Splash: #TwitterIPO
— New York Times

Investors expect Fed to tap brakes
— Twitter going public —
Goldman scores top underwriting spot
— Politico

Twitter Files for Initial Public Offering
— Wall Street Journal

Yet the same week they announced their IPO, we discover Twitter can’t stop the cheesy spambot program that generates thousands of accounts like Dr. Miller Pacocha (@BoehmPierce_296), Miss Demetris Heaney (@DrMetz_Dewitt__), Jermaine O’Conner (@Nader_Zackary45), Blanche Tremblay (@MrsHauck_Gertru) and Mr. Greg Hudson (@Shanny_Batz6276):






Even as spam accounts flood onto Twitter, however, the accounts of actual human beings are suspended because of phony “abuse” claims:

Since 2011, at least, conservative activists have complained about “Twitter gulag,” the repeated suspension of accounts prompted by multiple bogus abuse reports from leftist thugs who systematically target their Republican-leaning antagonists. The fact that there is now a Twitter Gulag Defense Network (hashtag #tgdn) to warn users and assist conservative activists targeted for suspension, tells you all you need to know about the ineffectiveness of Twitter’s policies.

How many $100-an-hour programmers does Twitter have on its payroll? How many hours would it take for such a programmer to identify the source of these spambot accounts? And how many more hours would it take to write a code that blocks the spammers?

OK, so once Twitter’s programmers identified the source and blocked the program, how long would it take for a $150-an-hour attorney to write up a criminal complaint against the spammers, documenting the fraud, and to deliver that complaint to the FBI? See, this isn’t just a “terms of service” violation, this is deliberate systematic electronic fraud — a federal felony under various statutes — and until the perpetrators are indicted and prosecuted for their crimes, there is no real incentive to discourage anyone else from doing the same thing.

Twitter needs to get serious about this problem, and my “friends” need to stop telling me that this isn’t a serious problem, because I’m well past the point of tolerating such bullshit advice.
