Be Careful in Richmond, Please

Posted on | January 20, 2020 | 1 Comment

Thousands of Second Amendment activists are assembling today at the Virginia capitol in Richmond to protest against proposed legislation that would infringe their right to “keep and bear arms.” Last week, activists noticed signs that the Left might be sending agents provocateurs to this event in an attempt to create some incident that might embarrass the gun-rights movement. So if you are going to this Richmond rally, stay safe, and do not allow yourself to be baited into saying or doing anything offensive or illegal. Keep your eyes open for trouble, and urge your fellow attendees to stay away from any conflict that might emerge. Because great minds think alike, Dana Loesch is offering the same advice:

Some in media and many anti-gun/gun control advocates are desperately trying to gaslight everyone into thinking that Virginia’s Second Amendment lobby day will be Charlottesville 2.0. Since 2002 the Virginia Citizens’ Defense League has peacefully gathered law-abiding Virginians in Richmond to speak to lawmakers on behalf of preserving Second Amendment rights. This year is no different — except the numbers are expected to be astronomically larger due to state Democrats’ gun control kegger.
Do not be baited. Do not be provoked.
You are at an extraordinary moment in history and the rest of us in states, counties, and cities across the country (all of us dealing with rights grabs like you, some at stages earlier than others) are watching you, praying for you, and depending on you. How you choose to use your time and impact your community will send shockwaves throughout the rest of the country. Do not be distracted from your good work by bad actors sent to incite, antagonize, and sabotage your efforts. Stay relentlessly focused.

The First Amendment specifically protects the right of citizens “peaceably to assemble” and express their grievances. Anyone attempting to disturb the peace at such an event should be carefully avoided.

Is Noah Berlatsky a Pedophile?

Posted on | January 19, 2020 | Comments Off on Is Noah Berlatsky a Pedophile?

 

 

“Fascists love to use accusations of pedophilia as a way to invalidate and destroy enemies.”
— Noah Berlatsky, Sept. 6, 2019

Look, I’m not making any accusations here, and far be it from me, an award-winning journalist, to engage in irresponsible speculation. There is no actual evidence that Noah Berlatsky is a pedophile, as far as I know, and it would be reckless to attempt to infer anything about his sexual preference based merely on a few messages on Twitter, taken out of context. Rather, if anyone seriously suspected Berlatsky of pedophilia — which, as I say, there’s no specific reason they should suspect this — it might be more productive to consider his overall oeuvre of work, including his oft-noted status as a so-called “male feminist.”

If you get my drift. Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink.

My point is not to question whether it would be safe to let your children have a sleepover with “Uncle Noah,” but rather to demonstrate that it is wrong for journalists to engage in character assassination merely because they happen to disagree with someone’s politics. Yet this is exactly what Noah Berlatsky has done to Trump supporters:

 

Trump voters motivated by racism may be
violating the Constitution. Can they be stopped?

As insulting as that headline is, the article’s first paragraph is worse:

If the Trump era has taught us anything, it’s that large numbers of white people in the United States are motivated at least in part by racism in the voting booth. Donald Trump ran an openly racist campaign for president, calling Mexicans rapists and criminals, regularly retweeting white supremacists and at least initially balking at repudiating former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. Trump made it clear in his campaign that “Make America Great Again” meant that America was greater when white people’s power was more sweeping and more secure. White voters approved of that message by a whopping 58 percent to 37 percent.

That’s 102 words, in case you weren’t counting, and notice:

“. . . white people . . . racism . . . openly racist . . . white supremacists . . . white people’s power . . . White voters . . .”

Berlatsky begins with a premise that he does not ever bother to state, namely that the election of President Trump was wrong, and that anyone who voted for Trump is a bad person. Berlatsky believes that all 62.9 million Americans who voted for Trump did so out of ignorance or malice, or perhaps a combination of ignorance and malice. Either way, all good people voted for Hillary Clinton, according to Berlatsky, and so the only questions worth asking about Trump voters are:

  1. What kind of evil are they?
    and
  2. How can we stop them from electing Trump again in November?

The rest of Berlatsky’s article is one of those through-the-looking-glass, down-the-rabbit-hole journeys into “progressive” madness that is difficult to describe. Ir would be easier to transcribe the gibberish of a dope fiend in the midst of a psilocybin freakout.

Berlatsky not only contends that it is racist to vote Republican, but seems to believe that Democrats have a right to win every election, so therefore it is unconstitutional to vote Republican. The entire article is a vile act of deliberate defamation, and NBC News should be apologizing for having published it. As for Berlatsky himself, his byline is a disgrace to any organization that publishes his hateful slander and, while I repeat that I have no actual evidence that he’s a pedophile, I certainly wouldn’t trust him near my children. Would you trust him with your children?

Governor Northam Couldn’t Be Setting Up A “Reichstag Fire” Event, Could He?

Posted on | January 18, 2020 | 3 Comments

by Smitty

Via @deplorable_s on Twitter and Tom DeWeese on FaceBook we have this tidbit:

The whole Charlottesville disaster was bad enough, and Stacy covered it here and here. Given the Left’s need to control the conversation coupled with the pending implosion of the impeachment disaster, makes the Democrats more of a rabid, injured, cornered animal than usual. The following clip of the Democrat event planners captures it all:

Unfortunately, for the authoritarian Left, there are real-world consequences for false-flag events like this or the Reichstag Fire. And I don’t just mean property damage.

There is a SWExit offer in place for Virginia counties who are as interested in an authoritarian nitwit in Richmond now as the Appalachian counties were in 1861. Northam looks a slightly younger Joe Biden in terms of being in office without much of a clue.

The Virginia Senate just passed a set of unpopular gun control laws, despite the substantial negative feedback at the county level. Stupid, futile gestures indeed. And now, peaceful, patriotic protest in the capitol is threatened by Lefty violence and a judiciary that support’s Northam’s infringement of Constitutional rights.

It would be unfortunate if busloads of Antifa weenies tried to cause trouble and tragedy ensued. While the country could hypothetically view the eternal absence of Antifa as an improvement, that’s really just an extension of the “This is why we can’t have nice things” argument.

The real problem here is due to Virginia conservatives not convincing enough voters to oust the Democrats at the ballot box.

Which brings us full circle to the impeachment fracas. This Virginia sideshow God willing, will only prove a footnote in the overall collapse of the Left’s effort to “fundamentally transform the United States of America”. Down with the Democrats, down with Antifa, down with the media.

UPDATE:

UPDATE II:
More intriguing detail at The Last Refuge.

UPDATE III:
Cam Edwards has some calming details. So, while the actual idiocy has been both watered down and remains unsigned into law, the Left is content to settle for incremental excremental transformation of society.

Stoners and Stalinists: Sanders Campaign Staff Is Exactly What You’d Expect

Posted on | January 18, 2020 | Comments Off on Stoners and Stalinists: Sanders Campaign Staff Is Exactly What You’d Expect

 

Earlier this week, James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas released undercover video in which Kyle Jurek, a field organizer for the Bernie Sanders campaign in Iowa, advocated “re-education” camps for “MAGA people” and defended Stalin’s gulag prison camps in the Soviet Union. In a follow-up video, Jurek described himself as an “anarcho-Communist” and declared that many other Sanders staffers share his far-left extremist views. Jurek’s habit of dropping f-bombs makes the videos nearly unlistenable — “bleep! bleep! bleep!” — and now we have the latest update from Deb Heine at American Greatness:

In the latest Project Veritas sting video, Kyle Jurek, the self-proclaimed anarcho-communist Soviet Gulag fan who is a field organizer for the Bernie Sanders Campaign in Iowa, admits that he was recently arrested for “weed” after knocking on doors for the campaign. Jurek told the Veritas reporter that the Sanders Iowa field director quickly bailed him out.
Anonymous tipsters from within the Sanders Campaign in Iowa have since told Project Veritas that they are concerned about Jurek’s behavior and fear that he could be a threat to the president.
As American Greatness reported on Tuesday, Jurek was arrested on January 7 in Saylor Township, Iowa, for operating while intoxicated (second offense), possession of drug paraphernalia, failure to provide proof of financial liability, and violation of probation.
Project Veritas founder and president James O’Keefe wonders if the bail money came from Sanders’ campaign coiffures.
Jurek was caught on camera describing his arrest to the Project Veritas undercover journalist.
“I got busted for weed by the f*cking police,” he said, adding that he was still going through “that process.”
“Went to f*cking jail. The whole G*d-damned thing. F*cking right after we got done knocking on doors one night in Urbandale,” he continued.
Jurek said that as he was heading out to buy some more “weed,” the police stopped him.
“Like the cop met me at the intersection and I went through and he turned and f*cking pulled me over. And then like immediately he’s like, ‘why does it smell like weed?
Jurek indicated that he answered, “I don’t know, I don’t know what you’re talking about. And uhhh, [he] f*cking pulled me out of the car, searched my car, found my weed, found my grinder, found my bowl, found my kief, took me to jail.
Jurek said he was there for four to five hours before he was bailed out.
He said he made his first phone call to fellow field organizer Danielle (Hirano).
“Then Luke answered the phone, Luke’s one of the RFD (Regional Field Director), he’s the RFD for, like, West Des Moines area,” Jurek explained. “Luke answered, he’s like, ‘don’t say another word,’ he’s like ‘we already processed you bail. Just sit tight.’” . . .
O’Keefe reports that since their reports were published, Project Veritas has received several anonymous tips from people who know Jurek.
One from a campaign staffer, who says Sanders Iowa State Director Misty Rebik knew of Jurek’s radicalism and should have never hired him.
Even more disturbing is a tip from people who know Jurek personally. They say Jurek is dangerous and becoming more radicalized. They worry he might try to assassinate President Trump.

Crazy People Are Dangerous, and if you think Bernie Sanders is going to be elected president, maybe you should consult a therapist.

You Heard It Here First, Folks

Posted on | January 18, 2020 | Comments Off on You Heard It Here First, Folks

 

Online dating is for losers and, also, psycho killers:

FBI agents are issuing a warning about dating apps following the murder of a man who was found naked, mutilated and hanging from his ankles in a secret room of a Michigan basement after meeting someone on Grindr.
Kevin Bacon, 25, of Swartz Creek, was mutilated and killed by a man he met on the popular dating app, according to police.
Following Bacon’s murder, FBI agents have an urgent warning about who people are connecting with online. . . .
Michael Glennon, a special agent with the FBI in Detroit, issued a warning about who people talk to online.
“Meet in public,” Glennon said. “I think that’s an important key. Second to that, let somebody know where you’re going and who you’re with, and give them that person’s contact information.” . . .
FBI officials said about one in 10 profiles on dating sites are fake.

This murder in Michigan was particularly gruesome:

The victim Kevin Bacon (left) and accused cannibal Mark Latunski (right).

Months before the killing, police say, the man’s Grindr dates had fled his basement bondage sessions in partially clothed terror.
One hopped a fence in the middle of an October night to call 911, telling officers of leather ankle straps and a chain used to restrain him. In November, a man ran from Mark Latunski’s house wearing only a leather kilt — chased by Latunski, who told authorities that he just wanted his $300 piece of clothing back.
Both men declined to press charges against Latunski, police said. They said that their sexual activities with him were consensual and that they had simply gotten spooked at the home in a small Michigan township.
Then, late last month, police say they descended into 50-year-old Latunski’s basement about 30 miles from Lansing to discover another match from the same dating app — dead, naked and strung up by the ankles in a hidden room.
The crimes to which Latunski confessed on the spot were gruesome, police say. The defendant explained how he had stabbed 25-year-old Kevin Bacon in the back, suspended him from the ceiling rafters with rope and then slit his throat. In a final act of gore, police say, Latunski cut off Bacon’s testicles and cooked them for consumption.
Latunski has pleaded not guilty to charges of murder and disinterment and mutilation of a body. His attorney, who has not responded to inquiries from The Washington Post, is seeking an insanity defense and has described a litany of past mental health issues, according to court records.
Authorities are combing through the defendant’s history on Grindr and urging people to use caution with dating apps known for linking strangers in casual hookups. But David Kaiser, a first lieutenant with the Michigan State Police, says there is little they could have done to apprehend Latunski after his other hookups’ frightened exits. Police are worried that others involved in bondage activities at the house may be reluctant to come forward.
“He obviously got into something he wasn’t prepared for,” his father, Karl Bacon, told a local news station after court documents revealed the grisly particulars of his son’s death. “We all make mistakes. It’s gut-wrenching to hear the details, and we’re just beside ourselves.”
He told WILX that the revelations showed a “dark side” that Kevin Bacon’s loved ones did not know. Family members have described a top student and a talented hairstylist with a hummingbird tattoo in honor of his grandmother.
“He loved and cherished everyone he touched,” Karl Bacon added.

“We all make mistakes”? True, technically, but few of us make the kind of mistakes that result in our being hoisted from the ceiling rafters in the basement rape dungeon of a psychotic homosexual cannibal.

But you see, we can’t criticize the dead man’s decision-making process, because that would be “blaming the victim.” Like when a freshman girl gets drunk at a college party and goes back to the dorm room of a varsity linebacker. The next morning, she’s going to be sore and sticky and have only the vaguest memories of what happened — did his roommates take turns with her? — but it’s going to be difficult to convict anybody of rape in such a “he-said, she-said” situation. So they’re going to handle the case as a campus disciplinary procedure and expel the football player and you are a bad person if you suggest maybe this girl should have known better than to guzzle vodka and hook up with 275 pounds of NCAA prime beef.

“We all make mistakes,” says the father of the gay hairdresser who was hooking up with total strangers on a gay dating app and — “Oops!” — ended up dead, with no testicles. Just a random coincidence, a mishap, an unfortunate faux pas that could have happened to anybody.

The dead man was such a sweetheart — “He loved and cherished everyone he touched” — as if being nice and courteous means that you can’t also be depraved and decadent. It reminds me of Mackenzie Lueck, the small-town Mormon girl from Utah, much beloved by her sorority sisters at the university, but who nonetheless went for a 3 a.m. rendezvous with a Nigerian guy she only knew from the Internet. Her body was burned and dumped in the desert, and nobody wants to talk about the evidence that she was hustling extra cash as a “sugar baby.”

ONLINE DATING IS FOR LOSERS!

How many times do I have to repeat myself? Now that the FBI is endorsing my advice, maybe people will start paying attention.
