Apparently the only actress of note born today is Emmy Rossum, who looks like she could use a cheeseburger or five, so tonight’s appetizer is cosplayer Qi’ra Rose. Because it’s always rabbit season if the rabbit in question is Jessica Rabbit.

Serial Inseminator Arrested in Knoxville

Posted on | September 12, 2021 | Comments Off on Serial Inseminator Arrested in Knoxville

Perhaps you have forgotten the name Desmond Hatchett, who was the subject of a manhunt in Tennessee. Let me refresh your memory:

Tennessee made headlines as the Deadbeat Dad Capital of the World a few years ago. The story started in May 2012 with Desmond Hatchett, 33, of Knoxville, who had reportedly sired 30 offspring by 11 different women. WREG-TV quoted Hatchett: “I had four kids in the same year. Twice.” When that story drew nationwide attention — “Tennessee Baby Machine Is A State Inmate” was the Smoking Gun headline — a Memphis TV station did some checking with local court records and discovered that Terry Tyrone Turnage had spawned 23 children with 17 different women, while Richard M. Colbert was the father of 25 children by 18 different women. Then in 2013, a Nashville TV station reported that Orlando Shaw, 33, was the father of 22 children by 14 different women. “I was young and ambitious, and I love women,” Shaw told WTVF. “You can’t knock no man for loving women.”
In case you lost count: 4 men, 60 women, 100 children.
None of these serial inseminators was a “father” beyond the mere facts of biology. They were not capable of paying child-support adequate to the needs of their offspring, nor did they support the “baby mamas” who incubated their seed. Various taxpayer-funded government programs — Medicaid, food stamps, WIC, public housing, AFDC, etc. — make possible such reckless sprees of irresponsible procreation. Any student of sociology would expect that when these children are old enough to reproduce, they will do so in similarly disordered ways. And this is what feminists call success.

There are varying estimates of the number of children sired by Desmond Hatchett, and when police issued warrants for his arrest in March, WVLT-TV reported that the serial inseminator only had 21 offspring:

Police said Desmond Lanier Hatchett, 41, of Knoxville, Tennessee is wanted on charges related to rape, aggravated burglary, aggravated assault, and aggravated robbery stemming from a domestic incident that happened in the 100 block of Dew Drop Lane on February 11, 2021.
WVLT discovered Hatchett has over 100 previous known charges. He is also the man who fathered 21 kids and couldn’t afford to pay child support in 2009.
Hatchett is described as standing 6’0″ and weighing 220 pounds. Anyone who sees him or knows where he may be is urged to call 911.

Hatchett was arrested last Sunday, after a high-speed pursuit:

Officers spotted a red Ford Taurus known to be occupied by Hatchett and attempted to initiate a traffic stop with him. Hatchett fled from officers at a high rate of speed, according to KPD.
Officers initiated their emergency equipment while on N. Mary Street near Magnolia Avenue, but Hatchett continued to flee from officers for several minutes until he came to a stop in a driveway in the 4100 block of Skyline Drive and fled on foot, KPD said.
After a brief foot pursuit, officers took Hatchett into custody without further incident, according to KPD.

This menace to society is now behind bars where he belongs. No word yet on whether he impregnated any more women while he was at large.




 

Jacksonville State Stuns FSU 20-17 With Last-Second 59-Yard Touchdown Pass

Posted on | September 12, 2021 | Comments Off on Jacksonville State Stuns FSU 20-17 With Last-Second 59-Yard Touchdown Pass

Damond Philyaw-Johnson’s game-winning TD.

As they say at Jax State, “Fear the Beak”:

Jacksonville State pulled off a miraculous victory over Florida State on Saturday night when quarterback Zerrick Cooper found Damond Philyaw-Jackson for a 59-yard touchdown on the final play of the game to lift the Gamecocks to a 20-17 win. The play marked the first time that Jacksonville State, an FCS team, ever led against its ACC foe.
The loss for FSU came just five days after it fought Notre Dame to the wire before losing in overtime and capped a wild day in college football. The reception was the first of the game for Philyaw-Johnson and the longest play from scrimmage for the Gamecocks, who lost their opener to UAB 31-0 on Sept. 1
Jacksonville State scored on its last two possessions of the game, both drives going more than 80 yards in length, to roar back from a 17-7 deficit. The Gamecocks got the football back with 1:32 remaining and two timeouts at its own 17-yard line after Florida State elected to punt instead of going for it on fourth-and-2 from its own 44. The Seminoles also faced a third-and-1 on the previous play, but running back Jashaun Corbin was tackled for a loss to force FSU into the fourth down play. A first down would likely have cemented the outcome in FSU’s favor.
Afterwards, Jacksonville State players celebrated the stunning result by planting their flag in the middle of Florida State’s field. . . .
With its final 59-yard game-winner, Jacksonville State outgained the Seminoles 350-335 for the game and notched a victory that will go down in program lore.

All y’all know me as a ’Bama fan, but I’m actually an alumnus of Jacksonville State, a campus known as “The Gem of the Hills,” about 90 miles west of Atlanta, in the foothills of the Appalachians. JSU’s most famous alumni is probably Randy Owen, lead singer of the group Alabama, along with Pulitzer-winning journalist and author Rick Bragg.

Oh, wait — I almost forgot Rick and Bubba!

Fight on! Fight on for ole Jax State!
We’re proud that we’re from Alabama!
Fight on, now don’t you hesitate,
Courage, pride and honor
will lead you on to victory, so
Fight on! Fight for the Red and White!
We’re gonna howl tonight!
Come on! You Gamecocks,
Fight and see,
That we will win the victory!

Jax State began its history as State Normal School — a teacher training institution — and its College of Education continues to be the core of its academic program, along with business, nursing and law enforcement. They’ve got the greatest marching band on the entire planet. In football, the Gamecocks won four consecutive Ohio Valley Conference championships (2014-2017) and in 2015 made it to the FCS national title game before losing to North Dakota State. Before moving up to FCS (which used to be Division I-AA), JSU was a Division II program, and won the Division II national championship in 1992.

JSU beat Ole Miss in 2010, but this win over FSU was something else:

The two players who connected on the winning touchdown both began their careers in the ACC. Cooper — who completed 17 of 38 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns in the game — is a Clemson transfer, while Philyaw-Johnson came to JSU from Duke.
The game-winner was Philyaw-Johnson’s only catch of the game. JSU’s other touchdowns came on a 2-yard run by Josh Samuel in the first quarter and Cooper’s 23-yard pass to Ahmad Edwards with 4:45 to play.
Florida State then drove the ball to its 44, but punted on 4th-and-2. It took the Gamecocks nine plays to move from the 17 to the 41, and Cooper threw three consecutive incompletions before the game-winner.

So, to recap 2021: Joe Biden is allegedly president, the Taliban have taken back Afghanistan, and JSU beat FSU. Craziest year, ever.




 

‘Evil Can Never Be Dead Enough’

Posted on | September 11, 2021 | Comments Off on ‘Evil Can Never Be Dead Enough’

Brevard County, Florida, is known as Florida’s “Space Coast” because it is home to Kennedy Space Flight Center at Cape Canaveral. The population is about 600,000 and is 74% white, 10% black and 10% Hispanic. About 25% of the population is retirees. It’s a peaceful and prosperous place, with beautiful beaches that attract many tourists annually.

On Monday, August 30, however, Brevard County was the scene of one of the wildest police shootouts ever caught on camera, when two deputies were ambushed by 38-year-old Paris C. Wilder:

Wilder was a registered Career Offender with 40 previous arrests including 23 felony arrests for charges that included: Robbery with a Firearm, Aggravated Assault with a Weapon, multiple narcotics offenses, Battery of a Law Enforcement Officer, and Attempted First Degree Felony Murder. Wilder was out on bond for two felony drug charges and had two active felony warrants at the time of the incident.
The preliminary investigation has determined that on Monday, August 30th, at approximately 1:00 p.m., a deputy conducted a traffic stop in area of I-95 and SR 192 on a vehicle in which Wilder was a passenger. During the traffic stop, an additional deputy arrived on scene and began assisting with the three adult occupants of the vehicle. When the suspect was asked to exit the vehicle, Wilder immediately opened the door armed with a rifle and began shooting at the deputies. Deputies returned fire in an effort to save their own lives, as well as the lives of others at the scene, which included a 2-month-old infant located in the rear of the suspect vehicle. During the exchange of gunfire, one deputy was shot in the lower leg and sustained a non-life threatening injury. The injured deputy was also attacked by Wilder with multiple strikes to the head with the butt of the rifle. As the attack on the injured deputy continued, the original deputy was able to end the threat by using deadly force and shooting Wilder.

In a Friday press conference where he released dashcam video of the incident, Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey called Wilder “a useless thug” who was “a perfect example of what is wrong with our criminal justice system,” asking: “Why is a thug with this kind of criminal history even given a bond where he can be out on our streets to harm someone else?” A total of 61 shots were fired during the incident. After the suspect’s gun jammed, he used the butt of the rifle to bash the head of Deputy Brian Potters, whose life was saved when Deputy Tyler Thomas was able to gain “a tactical advantage,” as the sheriff said, coming up behind Wilder and emptying his pistol into him:

“Let there be no doubt, this individual got exactly what he deserved,” the sheriff said. “And to those out there that might be foolish enough to ask why we shot him so many times, the answer is simple: evil can never be dead enough.”

Your damned right, Sheriff! Watch the video:

 

In case any reader was wondering, Sheriff Ivey is a Republican. A career law enforcement official with some 40 years experience, Ivey was first elected sheriff in 2012 with 67% of the vote — 11 points more than Mitt Romney got in Brevard County that year. Ivey was unopposed for reelection in 2016, but in 2020, he was challenged by Alton Edmond, a Democrat criminal defense attorney running on a Black Lives Matter platform. How’d that turn out? Sheriff Ivey won with 66% of the vote, about 9 points better than Trump, who beat Biden 57%-41% in Brevard.

The idea that tough law enforcement is unpopular, that Republicans should be afraid of looking “racist” if they criticize the Black Lives Matter movement, is contradicted by such data. Law-abiding citizens, whatever their race, do not want to live in a community that lets dangerous criminals roam the streets. Most citizens understand the dangers that law-enforcement officials face in their encounters with criminal suspects, and agree with Sheriff Ivey that something must be done to keep violent thugs like Paris Wilder behind bars. When a routine traffic stop turns into an ambush and a shootout, everybody should be cheering for the cops to win. And by “win,” of course I mean, shoot that son of a bitch dead, because truly “evil can never be dead enough.”

The Post-Afghanistan ‘Pivot,’ as Predicted

Posted on | September 10, 2021 | Comments Off on The Post-Afghanistan ‘Pivot,’ as Predicted

Less than two weeks ago — Tuesday, August 31, to be exact — I warned that Biden’s White House speech about Afghanistan was the signal for the start of a media “pivot” away from the subject. What had caused Biden to arbitrarily choose August 31 as the final date for U.S. military withdrawal was, of course, his desire to give a September 11 speech declaring victory in Afghanistan. Unfortunately for Biden, the Taliban had other ideas, and so now Biden has to pretend that what happened to the Afghanistan withdrawal — a complete disaster, for which he bears responsibility — is not really important, and the Democratic Party stenographers in the media are expected to play along with this ruse.

Turned the TV on CNN this evening and, sure enough, it’s all about the Biden COVID-19 mandate — or to be more precise, it’s about “right-wing” reaction to Biden’s COVID-19 mandate. Never mind, of course, that Biden himself said in December 2020 that vaccination shouldn’t be mandatory and that he “wouldn’t demand it be mandatory.”

The crew at CNN and other liberal media outlets have gotten the memo: Biden needs to change the subject from Afghanistan, so now he has handed them a story — not a story about how Biden contradicted himself, but rather a story about how those mean, ignorant Republicans (who, of course, are entirely to blame for the COVID-19 pandemic) are reacting to Biden’s mandate in mean and ignorant ways. You would never guess, from watching media coverage, that the real problem of “resistance” to the COVID-19 vaccine isn’t old white guys (I’m fully vaccinated), but rather (a) women under 40 and (b) blacks and Hispanics. These are not traditional GOP constituencies, and so the demographics of vaccine “resistance” are ignored while the media focus all the attention on Ron DeSantis or Marjorie Taylor Greene or whatever Republican politician is the designated COVID-19 scapegoat of the day.

Let’s quote Stacey Lennox’s story here:

Biden then announced that the Department of Labor would issue an emergency rule requiring employers with more than 100 employees to mandate vaccines or weekly testing. This order will cover 80 million employees. Employers will be required to pay workers for time to get vaccinated. In an odd assertion, he said this would protect vaccinated employees from unvaccinated coworkers.

Why does she call this assertion “odd”? Because if you’re vaccinated, isn’t that supposed to be your protection against the virus? But in order to justify making vaccination mandatory, Biden just tacitly admitted the dirty little secret: THE VACCINES AREN’T WORKING!

Or at least, they’re not working well enough to prevent “breakthrough” cases, which are both statistically rare and not usually fatal, but the whole point of the COVID-19 Fear Porn Crusade that we’ve been enduring for the past 18 months is that we’re all required to do whatever is necessary to reassure a bunch of paranoid hypochondriacs, the kind of women who never leave home without hand sanitizer in their purse.

We’re being held hostage by these people, and I had no plan to get vaccinated — figuring my immune system, which had kept me safe from the Wuhan virus for more than a year, would be robust enough to get me through to the end of the pandemic — until late July, when the Delta variant “surge” was approaching its peak, and the Democrats started making a lot of noise about how this was all the fault of “misinformation” allegedly being spread by right-wingers.

It’s about politics, see? And I wasn’t about to let myself become a convenient scapegoat for this blame-game, nor to be caught flat-footed when they predictably resorted to coercion to reach whatever arbitrary “goal” they had in mind. Nope, not me — fully vaccinated, thank you.

More from Stacey Lennox:

Any healthcare facility that receives Medicare or Medicaid funding must also require vaccination. Some estimates report that as many as 40% of healthcare workers are not vaccinated. There is also a skilled nursing shortage. It is unclear how mandates will affect this trend. In Oregon, where cases are rising, 111 nurses are already on administrative leave for remaining unvaccinated.

What? Forty percent of healthcare workers are not vaccinated? Don’t these trained specialists believe the science? Or is it the case, as I suspect, that “healthcare workers” is a category including everyone employed by hospitals, including the janitors and cafeteria workers, most of whom are black or Hispanic? And as for those unvaccinated Oregon nurses, how many of them are women under 40? It’s the demographics again — it’s not because right-wingers are spreading “misinformation,” it’s because so many members of core Democrat constituencies don’t trust the vaccines.

Which is not to say they should trust the vaccines, or that they should be compelled to get vaccinated, but I don’t care either way because — to repeat — I’m fully vaccinated, and therefore can’t be counted as a statistic to prove that old white right-wing guys are the problem.

Checkmate, you liberal bastards! As I say, however, Biden’s vaccine mandate is just a distraction, part of the “pivot” strategy to give the media something to talk about instead of Afghanistan where, by the way, it looks like Team Biden screwed the pooch even worse than we knew:

“A US airstrike in Kabul against a supposed Islamic State bomber actually killed an innocent man who worked for a US aid group and his family, according to newly published testimony and footage — raising the specter that the Pentagon lied to the public about the strike. The reported case of mistaken identity also further tars President Biden for his chaotic pullout of US troops from Afghanistan, which left behind hundreds of US citizens and thousands of at-risk Afghans.”

“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up,” as Barack Obama said, and even the New York Times can’t ignore all his fuck-ups.

Nevertheless, the distraction campaign will continue. Next Saturday, there will be a D.C. rally in support of jailed January 6 rioters:

Thinking about attending the September 18th rally?
Be careful. There is wide suspicion that the entire “rally” is just a trap set up by Your Fascist Pals at the FBI.

Oh, how clever that would be — the feds, through their shadowy network of informers and undercover operatives, organize a “right-wing” event that will (a) lure in a bunch of dimwits too stupid to spot the obvious set-up, and then (b) turn into a violent hate-fest, which the media will report as if this fake event represents typical Trump voters.

Some say that Charlottesville was really a set-up like this, and I’m not sure if that’s a conspiracy theory, but never underestimate the possibility that agents provocateurs are responsible whenever some extremist group gets in trouble. That guy in your Internet chat group who’s always talking about how much he hates Jews, and trying to incite somebody to fire-bomb a synagogue? Probably a fed. “Confidential FBI informant details how he infiltrated group accused in Whitmer kidnap plot.”

Who is this “confidential informant,” and how many other members of the “Wolverine Watchmen” were also informants or undercover agents? To what extent was the whole thing a “sting” operation? It doesn’t matter. My point is that the kind of people who get mixed up in such escapades never seem to become suspicious about whether they’re being manipulated into doing something that will send them to prison.

For all we know, the organizers of next Saturday’s rally are sincere Trump supporters who believe that those arrested during the January 6 Capitol riot are being persecuted as “political prisoners.” However, is it possible they, too, have been infiltrated by FBI informants? And is it also possible that these informants are doing everything they can to make sure this rally turns into a disaster? Beware.

The Biden administration desperately needs a distraction from their endless bungling, and this September 18th rally might do the trick.




 

Capt. Save-a-Hoe: ‘He Will Regret It Only Once and That Will Be Continually’

Posted on | September 10, 2021 | Comments Off on Capt. Save-a-Hoe: ‘He Will Regret It Only Once and That Will Be Continually’

The term “Captain Save a Hoe” is, according to Urban Dictionary, derived from the title of a 1993 song by West Coast rapper E-40. It refers to a fool who imagines he can rescue bad women from their unfortunate destiny. It came to mind when I saw this New York Post story:

Annie Wright, 21, drafted a 17-page relationship contract after dating her now-boyfriend for only two weeks. . . .
Wright’s contract to her boyfriend Michael Head, 23, was just as extensive.
The contract came with four main objectives: honesty, communication, awareness of partner’s needs and clarity and alignment in their intentions.
“I made the idea as a joke, then he said, ‘No, seriously. We can do that and talk about it,’ ” Wright, an Atlanta, Georgia, native, told Kennedy News.
The couple met last October on Tinder after Wright left a toxic relationship, and she was determined to make this relationship with Head, a law student, work out.
“At the time, I had braces in college, and I was very embarrassed,” said Wright. “It was also pandemic time. But I got to the point where I was like ‘screw it — I’m going on dates with guys and don’t care anymore.’ I matched with almost anybody on Tinder and would tell my matches, ‘I’m going on a walk with my dog at 2 p.m. today — are you free?’ It was a fluke that I met him. I was going on three Tinder dates a week to go out there and meet people.”
Thankfully when Wright met Head they instantly clicked. “He was like, ‘I want us to be boyfriend and girlfriend,’ ” Wright said. “In order to be ready for that, we had to lay some serious ground rules.”

Notice who is dictating rules to whom.

Although she is only 21, Annie Wright already has one “toxic relationship” behind her, and whose fault is that? It’s not Michael Head’s fault, and yet because of the damage Annie sustained, Michael is going to be required to pay the price — follow her rules, or else.

Wouldn’t it seem to be a bad idea to allow someone with a demonstrated history of bad judgment to dictate rules to others? However much we may sympathize with people who get themselves into “toxic relationships,” is it not true that it takes two to tango? Your ex-boyfriend was a dangerous psychopath? Sorry to hear it, but don’t you owe us an explanation for why you find dangerous psychopaths attractive?

It’s like guys moaning about what an evil bitch their ex-wife is. Well, maybe she is an evil bitch, but who married her, huh? Not all women are evil bitches and yet you married one, a failure that reflects poorly on your judgment. You must accept responsibility for your own failure, and stop playing the victim as if you had no choice in the matter.

I actually went to school with a guy who murdered his ex-wife, in such a heinous manner that he was sentenced to Death Row. This is where such a dysfunctional thought pattern leads: Making your own blamelessness the basis of a relationship — whatever is wrong, it’s never your fault — leads inevitably to making your partner a scapegoat, who must bear the blame for everything that makes you unhappy. Someone who is never willing to say, “It’s my fault,” will always seek out scapegoats.

What is the most common problem of “toxic relationships”? One partner seeks to control and dominate the other. This is the story of every bad teenage relationship — the boyfriend who wants to tell his girlfriend what she is allowed to wear, who she is allowed to talk to, etc. The jealous, controlling boyfriend is always “checking up” on her, and woe be unto her if she’s not where he thinks she is “supposed” to be, at the time he expects her to be there. It’s basically the O.J. Simpson/Nicole dynamic, and we know how that story ends. Why in the world would any woman put up with such abusive treatment? And yet so many do.

One may congratulate Annie Wright for escaping her “toxic relationship” without believing she is now qualified to dictate the terms of her next relationship, and certainly no one should envy Michael Head for being the unfortunate guinea pig in this experiment — which is not really experimental, because we know it will end badly for him.

Rollo Tomassi’s response to the New York Post article was terse: “Women break rules for Alphas and make rules for Betas.” In other words, Annie Wright has decided she wants a weak, compliant partner — at least temporarily, until she gets another chance at a swaggering Alpha male, like the ex-boyfriend whose dominating nature appealed to her masochistic tendencies. Michael Head is the simp who will let her dictate the rules, in the erroneous belief that he is earning Annie’s long-term loyalty. Exactly how long his delusion continues is up to her; he has surrendered the initiative, and the clock is ticking toward the moment when she tosses him aside like a used Kleenex.

Give it another six months or so, I’d say. Generally speaking, 18 months is the limit with a girl like Annie, and they’ve already been together for nearly a year. But it’s possible that Michael will wise up to the game before she kicks him to the curb. “Why have I got to put up with this?” he’ll ask himself, when Annie throws a tantrum over some minor infraction of the rules she has dictated. You got to figure Annie’s a tightly-wound bundle of neuroses, probably gobbling Prozac or Zoloft just to be able to cope from day to day, and sooner or later she’ll spiral down into a vortex of craziness that not even a Beta wimp will be able to tolerate.

Anyway, this relationship is doomed, and it’s just a matter of time. By the way, did you recognize the quote in the headline?

Yes, it’s J.E.B. Stuart, speaking of his father-in-law’s decision to side with the Union in the Civil War. Stuart made good his boast; his father-in-law, appointed to command a Union cavalry division, was humiliated in 1862 when Stuart led his Confederate cavalry on a raid in which they rode completely around the Union army. After that famous exploit, Stuart’s father-in-law was relegated to a desk job in Washington.

Who else is going to start a blog post quoting a West Coast rapper and end it by telling you about a Confederate cavalry raid? But the Stuart quote seemed apt to describe the fate of Michael Head (and any other young man foolish enough to play the role of Captain Save a Hoe): “He will regret it only once, and that will be continually.”
