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.

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.”

QAnon? Meth? PTSD? Marine’s Florida Massacre Leaves Questions Remaining

Posted on | September 9, 2021 | Comments Off on QAnon? Meth? PTSD? Marine’s Florida Massacre Leaves Questions Remaining

Bryan Riley, a 33-year-old Marine Corps veteran, murdered four people — including a grandmother and an infant shot in its mother’s arms — during a bizarre pre-dawn rampage Sunday in Polk County, Florida.

The senseless killing of innocent people that Riley did not know enraged Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, who lamented the fact that the suspect surrendered with his hands up: “It would’ve been nice if he’d have come out with a gun. . . . If he’d have given us the opportunity, we’d have shot him up a lot.” Sheriff Judd hates criminals that much.

Did I mention that this massacre was completely senseless? Because the victims were strangers to Riley. During a Thursday press conference, Sheriff Judd explained that what had happened was this: Riley, who lived 30 miles away from the crime scene, in the Tampa suburb of Brandon, went to a friend’s house to pick up a first aid kit. Riley had been planning to travel to Louisiana to help victims of Hurricane Ida, and this friend — apparently someone Riley knew from his job as a security guard — had offered to donate a first-aid kit to Riley’s effort.

The friend lived near the Lakeland home where the murders happened. Riley goes to the friend’s house, gets the first aid kit, hangs out about 15 or 20 minutes, and leaves about 7:10 p.m. Less than 15 minutes later, there is a 911 call from the Gleason family, reporting an encounter with a suspicious man, who later proved to be Riley.

Driving from his friend’s house, Riley passed the Gleason home, where Justice Gleason, 40, was mowing his lawn. Riley stopped his truck and spoke to Gleason, telling him “he was sent there by God to talk to someone named Amber because she was going to commit suicide. Gleason told him there was no one there named Amber.” Riley refused to accept this answer. Then Gleason’s mother-in-law, 62-year-old Cathy Delgado, who lived in a separate home behind the main house, came out and told Riley to leave or she would call the cops:

“When our suspect, Riley, left, he was very angry,” Judd said. “And he was very angry at Justice [Gleason] because he thought Justice had kept him from seeing this child, Amber, that was going to commit suicide.”

Delgado did call 911, and deputies searched the area for the suspicious stranger, but apparently Riley left the area before deputies arrived. Riley went back to Brandon, where he lived with a girlfriend he had been dating for about four years. In the days leading up to the incident, she had become concerned about his behavior, and now there was an argument as Riley told the girlfriend that God had told him to rescue the human trafficking victim “Amber” and she told him, basically, you’re crazy. She went to bed and Riley then began to prepare the “operational plan” for his “mission” — kill everybody and rescue Amber.

Watch the video of Sheriff Judd’s Thursday press conference:

Obviously, the sheriff isn’t buying any insanity defense of Riley, emphasizing the methodical planning he put into this massacre, and the heinous brutality of Riley’s crimes. But the motive for this senseless slaughter was a paranoid delusion about sex-trafficking, with a military veteran who quite clearly was suffering a mental breakdown. Riley’s girlfriend mentioned PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and Riley himself told deputies that he had been using methamphetamine, but the nature of Riley’s homicidal mania is still mysterious.

Riley served in the Marines and was deployed to Iraq (2008) and Afghanistan (2009-2010). He was wounded in Afghanistan and is “classified as a disabled veteran,” according to the sheriff’s office. Any defense attorney would point to this as evidence of PTSD as a contributing factor, but Riley seemed to adjust well to civilian life, working in what is called “executive security” — basically a bodyguard for VIPs — and had obtained numerous certificates for advanced training in that field. Why did he so suddenly come unraveled?

Is it possible that the recent collapse of Afghanistan triggered Riley’s mental breakdown? I just throw that out there, speculating, because based on what Sheriff Judd says Riley’s girlfriend told them, Riley descended into a delusional condition in a matter of weeks or days.

Riley’s condition appears to have been acute, rather than chronic.

Of course, there could be multiple factors contributing to a psychotic breakdown. Stress from work or relationships, the death of a loved one, financial difficulties, etc., but here you have a Marine veteran of Afghanistan whose rapid descent into madness coincided with the chaos surrounding the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, which seems too much of a coincidence to ignore. But what about the specific content of Riley’s delusion, the belief that this family home near Lakeland was the site of a sex-trafficking ring where he had to rescue “Amber”?

Is this some kind of QAnon thing? Or had Riley just seen too many action-adventure movies and was living out a Liam Neeson fantasy?

No doubt investigators in Polk County will go through all of Riley’s online activity to discover whether he visited conspiracy theory websites, and I’ll be interested to learn more about the timeline of how Riley went from being a security professional to being a mass murderer. For now, however, there are just a lot of unanswered questions about this, and the only indisputable conclusion is: Crazy People Are Dangerous.

The Logical Conclusion of ‘Social Justice’

Posted on | September 9, 2021 | Comments Off on The Logical Conclusion of ‘Social Justice’

When mobs rioted in Minneapolis last year, the chaos and destruction became a fundraising opportunity for the Minneapolis Freedom Fund (MFF), an organization dedicated to keeping criminals on the street. Simply put, MFF bail suspects out of jail, no questions asked:

The non-profit Minnesota Freedom Fund says this system of bail is “unjust,” and that wealth should never determine who is kept in jail, which is exactly what the American bail system does. In 2016, the non-profit formed and began raising funds and bailing Minnesota residents out of jail.
“We have always prioritized those who are unable to pay for freedom and face the greatest level of danger and marginalization,” wrote Greg Lewin, MFF interim director. . . .
“Putting it bluntly, cash bail is an abusive system that criminalizes poverty and takes a disproportionate toll on Black people, indigenous people, and people of color. It doesn’t matter whether you are guilty or innocent – if you cannot afford to post your bail, you will stay in jail until your trial,” wrote MFF’s Lewin. . . .
“Our goal has always been to free as many people as possible and then put ourselves out of business by ending pretrial detention,” Lewin wrote. . . .
For MFF, it’s not about the crime, but the system.
“I often don’t even look at a charge when I bail someone out,” Lewin said. “I will see it after I pay the bill because it is not the point. The point is the system we are fighting.”

It is an abuse of language on a grand scale to say that requiring bail “criminalizes poverty.” The Eighth Amendment of our Constitution reads: “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” Interestingly enough, that language is borrowed from the English Bill of Rights of 1689, a statement inspired by the punishment of Titus Oates, the perjurer who fabricated “The Popish Plot” and sent innocent men to their deaths.

Who can say whether the bail requirement in any particular case is “excessive”? Over the years, the question has been examined by legislatures, courts and commissions. Certainly the intent is not to “criminalize poverty” and, as our Constitution also guarantees (Sixth Amendment) the right to a speedy trial, our nation’s jails are not filled with innocent men languishing behind bars for no good reason.

If you know anything about how the criminal justice system actually works, the real cost of bail is usually 10% of the amount assessed. You go to a bail bondsman, sign an agreement that makes you liable for the entire amount if you don’t show up in court, and pay 10% up front. So if bail is assessed at $10,000, you (or your family members) only have to come up with $1,000 — not an “excessive” amount. There was an entire reality show, Dog The Bounty Hunter, about rounding up bail-jumpers who skipped out after signing bond agreements.

This is the “system” which MFF is “fighting.” Why are they fighting the system? Because the system works — MFF is run by radicals who want to destroy America, period, and destroying the criminal justice system is merely part of that radical agenda. When I say that the existing bail system works, what I mean is that, because the vast majority of criminals in America’s jails are actually guilty, bailing them out between the time of their arrest and the time of their trial would only grant them more opportunity to commit crimes. Simple question: Why do you think nobody who actually knows them is willing to bail them out?

Suppose your son or your brother, whom you know to be a law-abiding citizen in general, goes to a party and gets into a drunken fight that results in him being arrested on an assault charge. Such things happen when people get drunk at parties, and you don’t condone this behavior, but this is the first time your son or brother has ever had any problem with the law, and it is reasonable for you to hope that he will be able to get a plea deal to avoid prison. So his bail is set at $5,000 and you go to the bail bondsman, sign the agreement and pay $500 so he can go back to work while he awaits trial. This is the “system.” It works.

The system also works (or, at least it did, before the “social justice” mob got involved) in terms of keeping career criminals behind bars. Most serious crime in America is committed by a comparative handful of habitual criminals who cycle in and out of the criminal justice system. They’re either behind bars or they’re committing crimes — never once in their lives have they done anything else. So the 18-year-old is convicted of robbery, sent to prison for a couple of years, gets back on the street and within a matter of weeks or months, is arrested again. Is anyone who knows this 20-year-old felon going to bail him out? Probably not, and therefore he will remain locked up in jail until he cops a plea deal and goes to prison, where he belongs. Problem solved — the system works.

Unless you’re a criminal, or the kind of radical who wants to destroy America, there’s nothing wrong with our bail system. And turning loose dangerous criminals has serious consequences:

A bail fund promoted by Vice President Kamala Harris helped lead to the release of an alleged Minneapolis domestic abuser — who has been charged with murder in a road-rage slaying.
George Howard, 47, was charged with two counts of second-degree murder for allegedly shooting Luis Damian Martinez Ortiz, 38, during a road-rage incident on Interstate 94 in Minneapolis on Aug. 29, KSTP reported.
Surveillance video reportedly showed Ortiz getting out of his blue BMW and approaching Howard’s white Volvo before Howard shot the other man and fled. Ortiz died from a gunshot wound to the chest, officials said.
Just weeks earlier, Howard, a Minneapolis man barred from having a firearm due to previous convictions, was released on $11,500 bond in a domestic assault case on Aug. 6, court records cited by Fox News show. He was bailed out by the Minnesota Freedom Fund — which was touted last year by Harris.

Wait a minute — you’re driving a Volvo, but you can’t afford to pay bail? Do victims of oppression drive Volvos? It would have cost George Howard only $1,150 to get out of jail, and surely a Volvo driver should be able to come up with such a modest amount, so why did MFF even need to get involved? Oh, let me guess: It’s because they piled up such a huge stash of cash last year that MFF is now so desperate to spend this money that they’re bailing out all kinds of criminals, no questions asked.

Knowing what we know about criminal recidivism rates, it is merely a matter of arithmetic — statistical probability — that many of those bailed out by MFF will subsequently be charged with serious crimes committed while they were free on bail. What was George Howard’s record?

Howard’s criminal history in Minnesota includes three convictions for disorderly conduct, and one each for assault and for illegal weapons possession.

Convicted felons are prohibited from possessing firearms. George Howard had at least five convictions on his record — note the qualifying phrase “in Minnesota,” which suggests Howard may have a record in other states — and while “disorderly conduct” may describe trivial misdemeanors, we don’t know the facts of those cases. Very commonly, a misdemeanor conviction is the result of a plea bargain in which the suspect was originally charged with a felony, e.g., arrested for assault, but pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct. Whatever the specifics of the disorderly conduct cases on Howard’s record, the “illegal weapons possession” charge indicates he had at least one prior conviction that disqualified him from firearms possession, and that was before he was charged with domestic violence. Anyone who investigated Howard’s record would conclude that he had violent tendencies, exactly the kind of tendencies that would lead to shooting somebody in a “road rage” incident. But remember George Lewin said he usually doesn’t “even look at a charge when I bail someone out,” because the point is “the system.”

The reason Kamala Harris endorsed this radical organization is because she shares their goal of destroying “the system.” That’s what the riots in Minneapolis and other cities last year were really about — the idea that “social justice” requires complete destruction of our society, especially including law enforcement. Kamala Harris and MFF want to empty the prisons and turn loose an army of violent criminals to terrorize America, which is why MFF bailed out a previously convicted sex offender who was accused of raping an 8-year-old girl. If you voted for Kamala Harris, that is the agenda that you were voting for. And it’s everywhere now.

There is no place in America where you are safe, because Democrats everywhere are committed to an agenda of turning loose dangerous criminals who ought to be behind bars. In any community where Democrats elect the district attorney (i.e., most major American cities), this agenda of “social justice” is abetting robbery, rape and murder.

I am reaching out through the ether because BOB BELVEDERE (The Camp of the Saints TCOTS) is getting ready to join our dear Amusing Bunni on the other side.
Bob is at the end of a very long and brave battle with cancer. It is in his brain now. He is still the same guy we know and love but he does not have much longer.
I firmly believe it is better to honor our friends who are dyeing while they can still see and feel the love.
Bob is a happy warrior.
A true patriot and indefatigable fighter for Freedom & Individual Liberty.
Plz pray for him, contact him while he is still here, and spread the word among OUR people.
I’m hoping we can give Bob an Irish Wake while he is still here to enjoy it.
I am asking you all to honor Bob and show him all of the love while he is still with us.
We do not have much longer.
Please & thank you.
Love,
Mare (Zilla)

Pour one out for Bob, guys and gals of the commentariat.
