Rule Five Sunday: The Vintage Doll

Posted on | December 7, 2020 | 3 Comments

— compiled by Wombat-socho

It’s pretty obvious by now that a lot of these Instagram “influencers” are worthless headcases, exploiting their good looks and high-flying lifestyles to milk the gullible of their time & money until it all goes down in flames. Stacy’s written about this sort of person before here, and here. Still, there are some decent people out there working hard, not just to make themselves look good, but to help their viewers look good too, and one of those people is Emily Burch, better known as The Vintage Doll, whose thing is mostly looking good in a retro/rockabilly fashion. She does online tutorials about cosmetics & hairdressing for women who want that look, and does well enough that she’s reaching out to help the small business owners that Facebook is screwing over. So if you don’t want to wade through Amazon’s endless pages, check out this list of small business people and see if they might have something you want to give as a gift.

Erstwhile #Resistance Spokesman Now Presumes to Lecture Republican Voters

Posted on | December 5, 2020 | Comments Off on Erstwhile #Resistance Spokesman Now Presumes to Lecture Republican Voters

It’s bad enough that the same people who spent four years denying the legitimacy of the Trump presidency — because RUSSIA! — are now lecturing us about the need to accept a Biden presidency. The people who claimed the 2016 election was “hacked” by Putin are now telling us that it is an outrageous conspiracy theory to doubt the election result based on video showing hidden troves of ballots being counted in the wee hours of the morning after election monitors had left the room.

We have actually seen obituaries of the dead people who “voted” this year, yet we are told there is “no evidence” the election was stolen.

As bad as all this is — and I’ve deliberately avoided paying attention to it, out of concern for maintaining my sanity — do we need fat Democrat millionaires lecturing us about our health?

Filmmaker-activist Michael Moore attempted to reach across the aisle and speak directly to Trump supporters in the latest episode of his “Rumble” podcast this week. But he ended up using his olive branch to deliver a spanking, blaming MAGA nation for spreading the coronavirus and predicting that “many of you are going to die.”
In his podcast, Moore plead with Trump supporters to wear masks and practice social distancing. “I don’t want you to die,” he said, adding perhaps jokingly that it would give him too easy a victory in his battle with the right.
“If we don’t pull together as Americans, we’re not going to get out of this,” Moore said, noting that “It’s in all the red states, it’s growing faster there than anywhere else.”
Moore also offered a grim forecast for those who refuse to get on board with the program. “Many of you are going to die.”
Growing audibly more agitated, the Oscar-winning filmmaker began lashing out at Trump supporters.
“Why do you want to die? Why — to take a stand against us liberals, to show us a thing or two?” he asked. “You’re showing us how to die. Why do you want to do that?”
He added: “In all the places that voted for Trump, people are dropping like flies.”

This is simply not true. It is demonstrably false. In Democrat-controlled New Mexico, for example, the virus is out of control, despite (or perhaps because of) the state’s drastic lockdown regime. The daily death toll from COVID-19 has spiked to record levels in Democrat-controlled California, and this week, the state with the most COVID-19 deaths was not a pro-Trump “red state” stronghold, but Democrat-controlled Illinois.

Anyone — even someone as profoundly stupid as Michael Moore — can find these facts with a quick Google search, so if the truth was easily available and yet Michael Moore is not telling the truth, is there a word for that? Yes, he is lying. Michael Moore is a big fat liar.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to watch some college football. It’s for my mental health. Hit the freaking tip jar. Thank you.

‘Black Lives Matter’ Rioter Charged With Murder in N.C. Home Invasion

Posted on | December 4, 2020 | 4 Comments

On June 2, police in Charlotte, North Carolina, used tear gas to disperse a “Black Lives Matter” protest that turned into a riot:

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department says what started as “a lawful protest” took a turn shortly before 9 p.m., when CMPD says several officers became targets for protesters “bent on turning a lawful demonstration into a riot.”
In the span of around four hours, CMPD says there were at least 18 incidents where protesters threw objects at officers, nine dispersal orders were issued, 16 protesters were arrested, and three guns — including one assault rifle — were found.

Among those arrested June 2 was Jonathan Elijah Jones, 19, charged with assaulting a police officer and other offenses. Three months after that arrest, Jones was arrested again on Sept. 5 in Gastonia, charged with violating a domestic violence protective order, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, and other offenses. You might have thought that two arrests in the span of three months would be enough to put Jones behind bars for a long time, but he was soon back on the streets, and his next arrest was for murder:

Four people have been arrested after a person died in a shooting during a breaking and entering in Cramerton Monday morning.
Brenton Edward McCaskill, from Clover, was shot and killed at a home on Fifteenth Avenue
Jonathan Elijah Jones and Ramon Luis Lopex Jr. have been charged with first-degree murder, first-degree burglary and felony conspiracy. They are both in the Gaston County Jail with their bond on hold.
Tyler Andrew Reno and Tyler Nathaniel Justice Leonhardt have been charged with accessory to murder after the fact. They are in the Gaston County Jail until a $500,000 bond.
Police said they responded to a possible breaking and entering in progress in the 400 block of Fifteenth Street in Cramerton just before 6 a.m. Monday.
Police found a person who had been shot. That person , who was identified as McCaskill, was taken to the hospital where he died, according to police.

The victim died defending his family from the invaders. “Brenton McCaskill is a hero,” his girlfriend Heidi McQueen told WCNC-TV. “He lived his life a hero, and he died a hero. He died protecting us.”

Her Name Is ‘Destiny’

Posted on | December 3, 2020 | 2 Comments

Destiny Allen, to be more precise. Whatever her mother had in mind when she bestowed this name on her, evidently her destiny was jail:

A McDonald’s employee is facing charges after police said she got into a fight with one coworker at the Atlanta fast-food restaurant and then hit a second coworker with her car while driving away.
Destiny Allen is charged with aggravated assault and criminal damage to property in connection with the incident, which happened at the McDonald’s on Northside Drive about 12:30 a.m., Atlanta police spokeswoman Officer TaSheena Brown said.
Investigators said Allen and another employee got into a physical altercation and a third employee tried to break it up.
When Allen walked out of the restaurant, both employees followed her to make sure she left the premises, Brown said. As she got into her car, Allen and the employee who had been involved in the fight continued to argue.
Allen then put her car into reverse and pressed the gas. In the process, she hit the employee who had tried to break up the fight, Brown said.
The woman was thrown into a window panel of the restaurant, investigators said. She was taken to a hospital with injuries to her legs but is stable, Brown said.
Allen was taken to the Fulton County Jail.

There is video of the fight:
