FMJRA 2.0: Morning Glory Milking Farm

I may not have done a book post in quite a while, but as longtime readers can attest (and this website as well) this book by C.M. Nascosta is not anywhere near my normal tastes in books. However, being the public benefactor I am, I felt obligated to give this book a read and report on it. Now that I have done so, I must ask for your prayers and contributions to the tip jar, because brain bleach isn’t cheap.
Having said this, I must congratulate Ms. Nascosta. This is a well-written book, succeeding not merely as a sexual fantasy but as the sort of multi-species Hallmark movie script one might expect from a particularly raunchy D&D Fifth Edition session. Indeed, if you deleted the sex scenes, this wouldn’t look out of place on the Hallmark Channel. On the other hand, if you deleted the sex scenes, there would be no point to the thing, because the whole novel is about the mousy, fairly average looking heroine’s increasing sexual obsession with the strapping young minotaur who’s enjoying his regular visits to the glory holepharmaceutical company much more than he used to. The author is to be congratulated for not making the protagonist a Mary Sue but rather, a more sympathetic girl who’s trapped in a situation many of her readers are probably all too familiar with: a college graduate with degrees worthless in the job market, trying desperately to find some work – any work – that will keep her from having to move home into Mom’s basement. The bottom line? It’s a good, well-written fantasy on a couple of levels, and apparently the sort of thing horny women are reading these days. So in conclusion, I can do no better than to quote Honest Abe Lincoln: “If this is the sort of thing you like, then you will probably like it.”

A Return to Frontier Justice?

Posted on | September 3, 2025 | Comments Off on A Return to Frontier Justice?

“Ultimately, police exist not to protect the public from criminals, but to protect criminals from the public,” Professor Glenn Reynolds has said. As in so many cases, however, the advancements of civilization are generally taken for granted by the destructive agents of “progressivism.”

Most Americans have little appreciation for such rights as trial by jury, enshrined in our Bill of Rights more than two centuries ago, which still remain unknown in much of the world. Our justice system rests upon a foundation that took centuries for our distant ancestors to construct, but how many people have taken time to read Winston Churchill’s A History of the English-Speaking Peoples, which recounts this development?

Furthermore, however, the origins of modern police are so little known that, during the 2020 peak of “Black Lives Matter” mania, it was widely claimed (and apparently, believed by many) that our police forces originated as patrols to apprehend slaves — a hateful myth so far from the truth that it cannot be considered a mere error, but is rather a deliberate libel. The world’s first police force was established in England in 1829 under the guidance of Sir Robert Peel. In the U.S., “The first organized, publicly funded professional full-time police services were established in Boston in 1838, New York in 1844, and Philadelphia in 1854.” However, outside of large cities — which were the only places with sufficient tax revenue to support a full-time police force — law enforcement remained in the hands of the county sheriff, a title which itself derives from origins in England (the “reeve” of the “shire”).

On the American frontier, the agencies of law enforcement were so limited that the pioneers mainly had to rely on themselves to defend their lives and property, which is why the horse thief could expect no more “justice” than could be obtained with a long rope and a tall tree. The concept of “frontier justice” was behind the once-famous advice that Andrew Jackson got from his mother, which has been variously quoted, either: “Andy, never tell a lie, nor take what is not your own, nor sue for slander, settle those cases yourself.” Or: “Never bring a suit in law for assault and battery or for defamation. The law affords no remedy for such outrages that can satisfy the feelings of a true man.” In other words, there are times when you just have to whup somebody’s ass.

All of this is preamble to an online video, reportedly recorded in Australia, of a young fellow who decided to whup somebody’s ass. The algorithm won’t allow that video to be embedded, but what it shows is a Muslim youth who allegedly was seeking to have sex with an underage girl, but when he showed up at a park to meet her, was confronted by someone who, I suppose, was the girl’s older brother. A solid beatdown was delivered, probably sufficient to deter repeat offenses.

We have seen widespread unrest in the United Kingdom lately because the law enforcement establishment there has failed to protect young girls from such menaces, and if something isn’t done to correct this failure, I suspect we’ll see more such vigilante measures. You have been warned.

Bad Causes Attract Bad People (and Why NPCs Can’t Resist ‘The Current Thing’)

Posted on | September 2, 2025 | Comments Off on Bad Causes Attract Bad People (and Why NPCs Can’t Resist ‘The Current Thing’)

Perhaps many readers have forgotten Kaitlyn Hunt:

You remember her? The teenage Florida lesbian who briefly became a liberal media cause célèbre after she was arrested in 2013 for having sex with a 14-year-old girl? The media bought into a #FreeKate narrative — promoted by Hunt’s parents — that she was a victim of homophobia, but Florida’s age of consent law was very clear and plenty of heterosexuals had been prosecuted for sex with minors. Furthermore, as more facts about the case came to light, it became evident that this allegedly innocent “romance” (as some in the media tried to paint it) was rather sordid, including meeting up for sex in the school restroom. The victim’s parents had tried to get Hunt to leave their daughter alone, but Hunt was obsessed with the girl. 

That episode was what led me to formulate the maxim, “Bad causes attract bad people.” From the outset of the controversy, it was obvious to me that what the #FreeKate activists were doing was a de facto attempt to carve out a gay loophole in statutory rape laws. Many of those who initially supported leniency for Kaitlyn Hunt had been misled by media misrepresentations of the case and, once they learned the truth, quietly dropped out of the #FreeKate crusade. However, there was a hard core of True Believers who insisted that it was wrong for the teenage lesbian predator to be treated the same as any other sex offender, and they were all very bad people — deranged and demonic, objectively pro-evil.

The point that Max Nordau makes about pro-Palestinian enthusiasts (hat-tip Instapundit) is another example of how the “bad causes attract bad people” principle operates. How sociopathic do you have to be to take the side of the Hamas terrorists who began this war on October 7, 2023, by attacking innocent people attending a music festival? But of course, the “Free Palestine” nitwits will either (a) insist that the 10/7 attacks were justified as “resistance” against “occupiers,” or else (b) dishonestly claim that they are not actually supporting Hamas. Either way, however, they’ll (c) pretend that Israel is engaging in “genocide” in Gaza.

They are either dishonest or ignorant, except when they’re both.

The phrase “genocide enablers” is a deliberate lie. It is Hamas that has genocidal ambitions, and which bears the responsibility for the suffering caused by the war that they started on 10/7. But if you will just wait a few weeks or, at most a few months, you’ll find that the “progressive” cheerleaders for Palestine will have moved onto some other “cause” or “issue” to bother us about. During the #GamerGate controversy, gamers began using the term “NPC” to refer to the hive of armchair activists who mindlessly parrot left-wing talking points. They are called NPCs because of their similarity “non-player characters” in a video game — programmed to perform their roles, without any original thoughts of their own. NPCs are always excited about The Current Thing, a term describing “woke progressives who identify with an ever-changing constellation of causes that seemingly shift from day to day.”

Those who are now decrying “genocide” in Gaza were, just a few months ago, posting Ukrainian flags in their social media profiles. Before that, they were worked up about the J6 “insurrection,” and before that, Black Lives Matter, and before that, #MeToo. The causes come and go, according to the vogue of progressive concerns. From time to time, the NPCs return to a few favorite causes — climate change, gun control, abortion rights, etc. — but they’re constantly updating their agenda to fit the latest fashions. If you’re old enough to remember the 1970s or ’80s, you may recall the protests against nuclear power plants, or the “Live Aid” enthusiasm about African famine relief. The fact that this herd of bleating sheep wander from one cause to another reflects the nature of their interest in politics. They are engaged in moral grandstanding, trying to attract admiration for the Noble Courage of their Commitment to Social Justice. They are not actually interested in helping any alleged victims of oppression. No, it’s really all about them and their need to think of themselves as being brave and enlightened.

Ridicule them or ignore them. Just don’t become like them.
