Totalitarian @GayWonk Is Attempting to Silence Conservative @SCrowder

Posted on | June 3, 2019 | Comments Off on Totalitarian @GayWonk Is Attempting to Silence Conservative @SCrowder

Carlos Maza (left); Steven Crowder (right).

Carlos Maza’s Twitter handle is @gaywonk, which would seem to imply that homosexuality is not only the basis of his personal identity, but also defines his expertise as a “wonk” (i.e., a public policy analyst). For nearly six years, Maza worked for Media Matters, specializing in — what else? — LGBT issues. Then in January 2017, Maza was hired by Vox-dot-com to produce a series of videos called Strikethrough, more or less exclusively devoted to Maza’s dual obsessions, Donald Trump and Fox News.

The Trump-Fox & Friends feedback loop, explained
— Feb. 9, 2018

Fox News keeps breaking its own rules
— Nov. 26, 2018

Fox News keeps forcing Trump into shutdowns
— Feb. 14, 2019

Why Tucker Carlson pretends to hate elites
— April 3, 2019

You get the idea. Maza’s attacks on Fox News are arguably unethical, because he fails to disclose that Vox is substantially owned by Comcast/NBC Universal, a business competitor of Fox. But in terms of pure politics, Maza’s prominence as a left-wing pundit (many of his videos have gotten more than 1 million views on YouTube) makes him a fair target of criticism by conservatives. Steven Crowder, who has nearly 4 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, has been providing this criticism, which is to say he’s made a lot of jokes at Maza’s expense.

So, last week, Carlos Maza published a lengthy Twitter thread claiming to be a victim of “harassment” because Crowder has made jokes about him. Of course, liberal media are amplifying his claim:

Vox Journalist Opens Up
About Homophobic Mob Harassment
He Endures On YouTube
— Huffington Post

Vox Reporter Carlos Maza Breaks Silence
About Steven Crowder Harassment
— Newsweek

YouTube Investigating Right-Wing
Commentator Steven Crowder
— Daily Beast

Jessica Chastain Urges YouTube
to Take Action Against Targeted Harassment
of the LGBTQ Community
— Just Jared

Of course, all these stories just assume the validity of Maza’s claim, that there is a “homophobic mob” who have been incited by Steven Crowder to engage in “harassment.” This assumption ignores the fact that Maza has made himself obnoxious by his repeated attacks on Fox News, and that all Crowder has done is to call Maza’s videos to the attention of a conservative audience that resents such attacks. Most of what Maza calls “harassment” is merely people expressing (however rudely) their objections to Maza’s obnoxious behavior. It may help to compare this to something completely outside the world of politics.

Think about this year’s NFC championship game, in which the referees missed a pass-interference call that cheated the New Orleans Saints out of a Super Bowl appearance. Now, it is an unfortunate reality that football fans are not apt to express their anger politely, and Saints fans probably said some very crude things about the referees in that game. Whose fault is that? Are the TV game announcers, who called attention to the missed call — replaying it over and over in slow-motion — guilty of inciting “harassment” against the referees? If the referees got death threats from angry New Orleans fans, should this be blamed on the broadcasters and sports writers who criticized the missed call? No, of course not.

Likewise, in the world of political commentary, a partisan pundit who makes himself obnoxious by his commentary is apt to provoke hostile reactions and this is not the fault of any critic who calls attention to the pundit’s commentary. Like the refs in the New Orleans game, Carlos Maza has endeavored to deserve the contempt of a rather large number of people, namely everyone who watches Fox News (the highest-rated cable news network, with more than 3 million views). It is not Steven Crowder’s fault that people are angry at Carlos Maza, and if some of these people have expressed their anger in behavior that could be called “harassment,” these people are responsible for their own misconduct. It’s wrong for Maza to blame Crowder for this, in the same way it would be wrong for bad NFL referees to blame their unpopularity on the broadcasters who call attention to their erroneous judgments.

 

Here is a simple statement: Carlos Maza is a bad person.

Evidence of his bad character can be shown by the fact that Maza is now attempting to get Steven Crowder banned from YouTube. This is an effort to suppress free speech, and shows that Carlos Maza is a totalitarian, for only a totalitarian seeks to “win” an argument by silencing opposition.

Why P&G Has Gone SJW

Posted on | June 3, 2019 | 22 Comments

 

Carl Benjamin calls attention to a recent article featuring an interview with Carolyn Tastad, president of the North American division of Procter & Gamble, and the executive responsible for the series of “woke” ads by Gillette. These ads have demonized men for “toxic masculinity,” celebrated female obesity and promoted transgenderism.

What happened to, y’know, companies making profits? Selling products, increasing market share, all the other stuff we expect businesses to do?

None of that matters, according the feminist executive, who says Procter & Gamble’s corporate mission is “advocating for a more equal world”:

We believe that advertising has the power to change mindsets. In many cases, it really influences popular culture because it’s seen so many times and with such frequency. And so a very big part of our gender equality effort is really focused on leveraging our voice in advertising and media. The Gillette campaign, which I’m so proud of, takes on this other important conversation about modern masculinity. . . .
I mean, the role of men matters in this space, right? Men need to play an equally important role as women in eliminating bias, promoting equality, demonstrating positive social and cultural behavior. You know, all too often we talk about gender inequality as a woman’s problem. But it has to be something that is an issue for all of us, it’s about men and women advocating for a more equal world. That’s a better role for all of us.

Notice how “more equal” becomes a synonym for better.

“The best a man can be” is therefore . . . what? Successful? No, it is wrong for men to succeed, because in the zero-sum-game mentality of feminism, male success is always evidence of discrimination against women. If a man gets a promotion, this is because of his “male privilege.” The agenda of “promoting equality” stigmatizes male success. In the interview, Ms. Tastad boasts that half of P&G’s management is female, but why should this corporate quota regime stop at 50%? Why not make it 100%? Because frankly, I can’t imagine why any man would want to work for Procter & Gamble. Ms. Tastad’s company is almost certainly discriminating against male employees, establishing de facto quotas in order to achieve a statistical “equality” (in the same way, and for similar reasons, that Harvard discriminates against Asian students).

In case you missed this news last August:

Procter & Gamble has announced that the number of jobs at the company is at an all-time low, with the headcount down 3.2 percent from last year, with just 92,000 people on the payroll worldwide, down 3,000 from last year.
Under increasing pressure to lower costs following restructuring efforts, the company has reported there will be more job cuts to come as sales growth has failed to turn around. . . .
A new heavily automated site in West Virginia will give opportunity for less employment as the products manufactured won’t be touched by humans until they reach retail stores.

Get woke, go broke, and lose your job to a robot.

— compiled by Wombat-socho

An extra helping this week to get caught up on the lack of posting over the Memorial Day weekend. This week’s appetizer is Morena Baccarin, because it’s her birthday and because she’s familiar to a lot of folks from the Matrix Reloaded, Stargate SG-1, Firefly and Serenity, V, and of course, Deadpool. This pic is from a 2012 Esquire photoshoot.

Bacon Time chips in with The Farmer’s Daughter, and American Power makes up for a long absence with Maya Helena Codina, Alex Morgan, Chiara Bianchino, Kara Del Toro, Iggy Azalea, Emily Ratajkowski, Carla Guetta, Natasha Oakley, Old Row Babe, and Helena Lu.

EBL’s herd includes Mia Sabathy, Arya Sails West, Manic Monday, Lisa Loeb, Jessie Buckley, Ophelie Bau, Memorial Day, Bon Jovi Women, Etta James, Christina Applegate & Linda Cardellini, Jess Glynne, Hollywood Canteen, Deadwood, Barbie Hsu, “Emotional Rescue”, Maite Perroni, Infobabe Jan Crawford, Stop Freaking Out About Avocados, Zooey Deschanel & Leon Redbone, Refrigerator Help Rule 5, and Charlotte Casiraghi.

Two Trannies Arrested in Child Pornography Case Involving 7-Year-Old

Posted on | June 2, 2019 | 1 Comment

Matthew ‘Marina’ Volz (left); Adam ‘Ashley’ Romero (right).

Franklin Township, New Jersey:

Somerset County Prosecutor Michael H. Robertson, Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office Chief of County Detectives John W. Fodor and Franklin Township Chief of Police Richard Grammar announced the arrest of four individuals, Sean Allen, age 51, Marina Volz (formerly known as Matthew Volz), age 30, Ashley D. Romero (formerly known as Adam Romero), age 26, and Dulcinea Gnecco, age 19, all of Coburn Lane in Franklin Township, N.J., on charges including aggravated sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child (age 7, known to the defendants).
Prosecutor Robertson stated that these arrests were made after a five month investigation conducted by the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office Sex Crimes/Child Abuse Unit. In January of 2019, the Prosecutor’s Office received a referral from the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCP&P) reporting that a 7-year old child was residing in a home on Coburn Lane in Franklin Township, N.J., where Marina Volz (formerly known as Matthew Volz) and his roommates were creating pornography. On January 28, 2019, a search warrant was executed at the residence and it was discovered that the child was in fact residing in the home where a pornography production company was being operated, exposing the child to sexually-explicit matter. Electronic items, including cell phones and computers were seized for forensic examination. The child was subsequently removed from the home by the Division of Child Protection and Permanency in January 2019.
Prosecutor Robertson stated that during the examination and analysis of the electronic devices, several sexually-explicit photos and videos of the 7-year old victim were located. Criminal complaints were signed against four of the residents of the home. The defendants and their charges are as follows:

Marina E. Volz (formerly known as Matthew L. Volz) — 1st degree Aggravated Sexual Assault, 1st degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child (for the manufacturing of child pornography), two counts of 2nd degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child, 3rd degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child (for the possession of child pornography)
Ashley D. Romero (formerly known as Adam D. Romero) — 1st degree Aggravated Sexual Assault, 1st degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child (for the manufacturing of child pornography), two counts of 2nd degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child, and 3rd degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child (for the possession of child pornography)
Sean F. Allen — 1st degree Aggravated Sexual Assault, three counts of 3rd degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child (one count specifically for the possession of child pornography)
Dulcinea Gnecco — 1st degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child (for the manufacturing of child pornography) and 3rd degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child (for the possession of child pornography)

On Wednesday, May 29, 2019, detectives from the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office, along with detectives from the Franklin Township Police Department arrested the above-listed individuals at their Coburn Lane residence without incident. They were all transported to the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office for processing and later lodged at the Somerset County Jail, pending a detention hearing.

This story has been widely reported, but one aspect of the case requires further investigation: How did these four people end up living together in New Jersey? Matthew L. “Marina” Volz is apparently from Beaverton, Oregon, and two years ago in June 2017, was featured in an article as president of the Queer Student Association at Clark College in Vancouver, Washington. Assuming that this is the same person — and how many transgender people named “Marina Volz” could there be? — the question is how Volz made his/“her” way to New Jersey.

My suspicion is that these people met online and that the 51-year-old man, Sean Allen, had invited these people to move in with him to start the “pornography production company.” How did Allen obtain custody of a 7-year-old child? Was this his grandchild? Where were the parents?

This story deserves additional reporting, and I’m thinking about making some calls to Somerset County officials on Monday.

How Much Do I Love Bill Barr?

Posted on | May 31, 2019 | Comments Off on How Much Do I Love Bill Barr?

Let me put it this way: Although I strongly disapprove of homosexuality, our Attorney General makes me feel like a Log Cabin Republican, because gosh, I just love this guy that much. If loving Bill Barr is wrong, I don’t want to be right. The reason for my deep man-crush, of course, is the interview The Love-God of Justice™ did with Jan Crawford of CBS News. How good is it? Obscenely good. Pornographically good. So good, you’ll feel guilty for how much you enjoy it. Ace of Spades provides an annotated transcript, which should be narrated by Barry White with the Love Unlimited Orchestra doing the background music.
