What ‘White Privilege’ Looks Like

Posted on | August 24, 2025 | Comments Off on What ‘White Privilege’ Looks Like

Devon Hogan Flanagan (right) in Newport, Rhode Island

This was one of those “viral video” stories that I was going to let pass by without comment, until I got the details from Miranda Devine’s column in the New York Post. First of all, you have to know that this incident took place at “the upscale Clarke Cooke House,” which just happens to be the swankiest restaurant in Newport, Rhode Island. Reservations are required, and apparently Devon Hogan Flanagan and her friend from college days, Veronica Hannan, got so drunk and rowdy that management asked them to leave. Everybody knows that Flanagan works for the state Attorney General’s office — because she kept shouting “I’m an AG” while they were putting her in cuffs — but her friend Hannan is also rather upscale, with a corporate job in New York.

Like a dozen other similar incidents I’ve watched on YouTube, the only reason anyone got arrested is because they refused to do what the cops told them. It’s like those “sovereign citizen” idiots who think they can litigate their rights during a traffic stop. No, son — just take the ticket and go to court. In the case of Devon Flanagan and Veronica Hannan, all they had to do was leave peacefully, but they couldn’t seem to do that:

The incident unfolded around 9:51 p.m. last Thursday, Aug. 14, when Flanagan, 34, her friend from college Veronica Hannan, who’s a senior manager at PepsiCo, and Veronica’s poor husband, financial adviser Dan Hannan, were asked to leave Clarke Cooke House for reasons unknown. Judging by the belligerence of the women, it’s not hard to guess why.
The bodycam begins as police arrive to find the women out in front of the restaurant. Flanagan, wearing a short red jumpsuit, is wagging her finger and demanding that the officer stop the bodycam: “Protocol is you turn it off if a citizen requests you turn it off.”

(First, notice the time — it’s not even 10 o’clock yet, and they’re already so hammered they’re getting thrown out. Second, no, it’s not “protocol” for cops to turn off their bodycam any time a suspect requests it.)

The cop tries to be reasonable: “So they want you guys to leave. Let’s just leave. Let’s make it easy.”
But Flanagan is determined to pull rank. Veronica, in a yellow body-hugging satin dress, keeps telling the cop Flanagan is a lawyer.
Poor Dan implores: “Can we all talk?” He is nattily dressed in a brown suit, because Clarke Cooke House, judged by Food & Wine Magazine as “by far the most sophisticated restaurant in Newport,” has a dress code: “Gentlemen, please, jackets required.” . . .

(See? It’s a swanky place in a swanky town. Newport, Rhode Island, isn’t Gainesville, Georgia, and the Clarke Cooke House is not Pelican Pete’s Tiki Bar. A certain level of decorum is expected.)

“OK, so you’re trespassing so we gotta leave now, unless you want to be in handcuffs,” the cop says.
“We’re not trespassing,” Flanagan responds sternly, as if she is lecturing a witness in court. “You haven’t notified us that we’re trespassing, number one.”
“What did I just tell you,” says the cop. “You’re trespassing. Let’s go. I don’t want to arrest you guys.” . . .

(He’s giving them the choice — you can go peaceably now, or you can go in handcuffs later. Your choice.)

But no, Flanagan was going to teach this cop some respect.
“You’re not going to arrest us. Number two, the protocol is …”
She keeps lecturing him. Veronica wags her finger in his face. Poor Dan is squirming in the background.
“Your protocol is if I ask you to turn off the bodycam, you have to turn it off and that’s your protocol,” Flanagan insists, infuriated that this cop isn’t obeying her instruction
“She’s a f–king lawyer so she knows,” says Veronica.
The cop’s patience is wearing thin. “Well, that’s bulls–t lawyer stuff so that’s not true. We gotta go.”
Flanagan lets fly with her trump card: “I’m an AG. I’m an AG.”
“Good for you,” says the cop. “I don’t give a s–t.” . . .

(Yeah, gonna be the handcuffs, isn’t it?)

The last we see of Flanagan is in the back of the cruiser shrieking: “Buddy, you’re going to regret this. You’re going to regret it. I’m an A …”
The door slamming in her face before she gets out the 12th “I’m an AG” is one of the most satisfying moments in bodycam history.

Cut. Scene. But wait — there’s one more thing:

Charles Glasser at Instapundit points out that Flanagan’s friend Veronica Hannan “is carrying a Chloé Woody Medium Canvas Tote. It sells for $1,390.00 at Bloomingdale’s.” My wife doesn’t have a $1,300 purse. Does your wife have a $1,300 purse? And you know what? I bet that cop’s wife doesn’t have a $1,300 purse, either. All these progressive types want to lecture us about “white privilege,” well, here’s a textbook case. The cop ought to have tased these snooty bitches, and called it “social justice.”

Flanagan’s boss, a Democrat who worked in the Obama administration, is not too happy with his employee:

Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Flanagan, who was arrested for trespassing, was placed on paid leave after the incident while the Rhode Island Attorney General’s office reviewed the matter. Starting Monday, Flanagan will go on unpaid leave, the office told Fox News Digital. . . .
In a subsequent radio interview after Flanagan’s arrest, Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha called it “inexcusable behavior” that will likely result in “strong, strong sanction[s].”  . . .
“I’ve got 110 lawyers. She embarrassed all of them. . . .
“I’m not sure what she was thinking. Clearly, she was not thinking straight,” said Neronha. . . .
“She’s humiliated herself,” Neronha added. “Regardless of what happens vis-a-vis her employment with us, she’s going to have a long time coming back from this. It’s just really unfortunate.”

Maybe she could learn to code . . .

FMJRA 2.0: Preparing For The Draft

Posted on | August 24, 2025 | Comments Off on FMJRA 2.0: Preparing For The Draft

— compiled by Wombat-socho

I’m actually feeling pretty good about the upcoming 1974 draft in Pete’s league. Aside from having given away my second-round pick for Steve Braun (boy, that was dumb) I have a solid front four and a stud reliever, plus a solid infield bolstered by rookies Mike Hargrove at first and Jim Sundberg behind the plate. Having Hargrove allows me to keep Dave Kingman in the DH slot, where he can continue jacking homers into the outfield stands at RFK. All I need to do is fill in the bullpen, the outfield corners, and the bench. We’re still looking for managers for the Expos and White Sox, so if you’re interested, let me or Pete know; there are also four expansion possibilities if you don’t like Montreal or the Pale Hose.

Why Has She Never Met a Good Man?

Posted on | August 23, 2025 | Comments Off on Why Has She Never Met a Good Man?

Here is the transcript of her video rant:

“I’ve never once met a good man — my entire life, going on almost 32 years, OK? I’ve never met one genuinely good man. Every single man I have encountered has done something absolutely horrific and minimized it. Every single man that I’ve encountered is a liar, is a perv, and does not see women as humans. Every single man that I’ve ever encountered is so far up the patriarchy booty-butt, they genuinely think that it’s OK for them to not grow past the mental age of 12. They genuinely think that having a job is all that they need to do. I’ve never met a good man — not my father, I don’t consider him a good man. My brothers? Really not good men. My ex — baby daddy — not a good man.His dad? Horrible man. His two brothers, one of them is halfway decent, but still don’t consider him good, uh-uh. His sister’s husband? Really shitty. All of my male family members, horrible people. All of my past male colleagues, all of my male instructors, professors, all of them are fucking horrible — horrible! There is no such thing as a good man. And if you think you’re a good man, please explain why.”

We must begin by stipulating that “good man” is a relative term — if we could rank all 3.5 billion men on the planet from best to worst, maybe I could claim to be in the top billion or so, depending on how you’re grading them, but I don’t want to brag, because a good man is humble.

The replies to “Dr. Jebra Faushay” (who is, in case you didn’t realize it, a satirist) are both enlightening and humorous, although sometimes cruel, but before we go there, let me offer some sincere and well-meaning advice. When it comes to the choice of romantic partners, it’s very much like real estate — location, location, location. And by this, I mean not just your GPS coordinates, but where you are located in terms of your socioeconomic class, your race and religion, your interests and affinities.

This is something that drew my attention when examining the phenomenon of “incels.” Over and over again, we see that it’s not just that the “incel” can’t get a girlfriend, but that he also doesn’t have any real male friends, either. In other words, the “incel” lacks social skills — or maybe just has a bad attitude — and this isolates them from other people. And in studying such people, you find that they don’t have the sort of interests and affinities that would help them fix their problems. They don’t end up in dark places by accident, OK? If you’re holed up in your room watching zombie movies, playing video games and masturbating to online porn, these habits aren’t likely to improve your popularity.

What is true of guys who become “incels” is likewise true of misfit women like the one ranting on video about never meeting a “good man.” Somehow, this woman has excluded herself from the social millieu where she might have encountered a better class of men. Notice she speaks of her ex as her “baby daddy,” meaning that she has an ex-boyfriend who wouldn’t marry her after she got pregnant. The phrase “baby daddy” originated in urban underclass culture about 25 or 30 years ago, and the first thing I might say to this woman if she were seeking my advice (which obviously she never would) is, “Why are you running around with trash?”

Far be it from me to endorse snobbery, but if the old adage is true that “you can judge a man by the company he keeps,” the wise man will avoid associating with trash. There is a “crabs-in-the-bucket” problem with such associates, where your loser friends will drag you down because your ambition for a better life is seen as a negative reflection on them.

Also: Never trust somebody who speaks ill of their own family.

When this woman trashes her own father and her brothers? Oh, that’s what poker players call a “tell.” The apple never falls far from the tree, and if someone starts telling me that their parents and siblings are bad people, this certainly does not improve my estimate of their character.

Even if you grew up in a good family, you could examine your parents and point out their flaws and failures, their shortcomings and limitations, but why would you do that in public? Why would you trash your own family’s reputation that way? You think that makes you look good?

Well, these are a few of my thoughts after watching that woman’s video, but the replies to Jebra Faushay’s post are full of humorous (if not necessarily constructive) criticism. Enjoy!

FBI Raids John Bolton: Why?

Posted on | August 22, 2025 | Comments Off on FBI Raids John Bolton: Why?

The big news today raises some intriguing questions. While we must assume that there is legal justification for the FBI’s raid on John Bolton — probable cause to suspect him of illegal activity — the same could be said of dozens of others whose names might be on Donald Trump’s enemies list. That is to say, if this is about Trump getting even with enemies (which of course, most people in the news media just automatically assume to be the case), why start the reprisals with Bolton?

Well, let’s get to some of the facts first:

FBI agents raided the Maryland home and Washington, DC office of President Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton Friday morning in a high-profile national security probe involving classified documents.
Federal agents went to Bolton’s house in Bethesda, Md., at 7 a.m. in an investigation ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel, a Trump administration official told The Post.
“NO ONE is above the law… @FBI agents on mission,” Patel said in a cryptic post to X shortly after the raid began.
Bolton has not been arrested and is not currently charged with any crimes, the official added.
“He’s not a smart guy, but he could be a very unpatriotic guy,” President Trump told reporters of Bolton Friday morning. “We’re going to find out.”
The raid came at the behest of Patel, with the president claiming that he had no advance knowledge of the operation.
“I know nothing about it. I just saw it this morning … I tell [Attorney General] Pam [Bondi] and I tell the group: ‘I don’t want to know, but you have to do what you have to do. I don’t want to know about it.’”
“I could know about it. I could be the one starting — and I’m actually the chief law enforcement officer — but I feel that it’s better this way.”
An investigation of Bolton was launched in 2020, but the Biden administration shut it down “for political reasons,” according to a senior US official.
Trump’s first Justice Department initiated a criminal inquiry into Bolton’s alleged disclosure of national secrets in his 2020 book, “The Room Where It Happened.”
However, officials tell The Post that the current investigation is not limited to Bolton’s book — but is part of a “larger classified leaking probe that extended into the Biden administration.”

OK, so there are some possible clues there. Is it really fair to assume that the motivation for the raid on Bolton is essentially political in nature, as so many people seem to be doing? If we stipulate this, for the sake of argument, we must still ask why Bolton? Why not James Comey, John Brennan, Susan Rice, et al.? Consider a couple of possible explanations:

  • A. Bolton’s activities were so egregious as to warrant this action. In other words, Bolton has done something so bad that Kash Patel believed the FBI needed to conduct this raid to prevent further damage to national security.
  • B. There is so much evidence of Bolton’s wrongdoing, and so much reason to believe more evidence would be found in this raid, that Patel saw it as an “open-and-shut” case, a slam-dunk prosecution where there could be no doubt of Bolton’s guilt.

These two theories are not mutually exclusive, of course, but I would lean toward Theory B as most likely. If Kash Patel is henceforth going to be dragging Trump’s enemies into court, to hold them accountable for their roles in what Tulsi Gabbard has called a “seditious conspiracy,” it helps his credibility if he can start with a slam-dunk case. And it also helps Patel that Bolton is seen as a Republican-leaning figure, picked to serve in both of the two most recent GOP administrations.

All this is speculation on my part, but if my hunch is right, we can expect a grand jury indictment of Bolton in just a few weeks — perhaps as early as next month — and the charging document will contain allegations (and references to evidence) that look very, very bad for John Bolton, so bad that even the most anti-Trump analyst on CNN won’t defend him.

UPDATE: A few thoughts from a friend:

There is a lot of speculation happening, and I’ve shared a few hunches of my own, but I certainly don’t claim to know anything about this case beyond the basic facts that are being reported by others.
