Evil Monsters Dox Bill Pulte

Posted on | September 25, 2019 | Comments Off on Evil Monsters Dox Bill Pulte

 

If you don’t know who Bill Pulte is, he’s the Michigan businessman who has become famous for promoting charitable causes on Twitter, often giving thousands of dollars of his own money to help people in need, as in the case of Lena Ramon, an Iraq war veteran and mother of two who got a $20,000 new car and $10,000 in cash from Pulte:

 

Why would anyone hate Bill Pulte or wish him harm? One word: Politics.

Because President Trump re-tweeted Pulte, and because Pulte praised the President on “Fox and Friends,” the Left decided that Pulte is a bad guy, and Trump-haters began harassing him online. Yesterday, Pulte and his wife got “doxed” — there private information was published online by left-wing hackers, resulting in the kind of threats and other mischief that victims of doxing typically suffer. (In 2013, I got doxed and SWATted by a man who was subsequently sentenced to federal prison.)

Law enforcement has been notified, and let’s hope that the perpetrators are soon in custody. The lesson here is that good people often suffer more on account of their virtues than bad people suffer for their vices. If you are doing the right thing, often it will inspire envy and hatred from others, and you will find yourself targeted by wicked people who cannot stand to see good people doing the right thing.

God bless Bill Pulte, and please remember him in your prayers.

P.S.: If you read this, Mr. Pulte, my brother Kirby could use some help.

Impeachment Madness

Posted on | September 25, 2019 | 1 Comment

Democrats surrender to their Crazy Caucus:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi launched a formal impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump on Tuesday, yielding to mounting pressure from fellow Democrats and plunging a deeply divided nation into an election-year clash between Congress and the commander in chief.
The probe focuses partly on whether Trump abused his presidential powers and sought help from a foreign government to undermine Democratic foe Joe Biden and help his own reelection. Pelosi said such actions would mark a “betrayal of his oath of office” and declared, “No one is above the law.”
The impeachment inquiry, after months of investigations by House Democrats of the Trump administration, sets up the party’s most direct and consequential confrontation with the president, injects deep uncertainty into the 2020 election campaign and tests anew the nation’s constitutional system of checks and balances.
Trump, who thrives on combat, has all but dared Democrats to take this step, confident that the specter of impeachment led by the opposition party will bolster rather than diminish his political support.
Meeting with world leaders at the United Nations, he previewed his defense in an all-caps tweet: “PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT!”

Marc Thiessen in the Washington Post supplies useful context:

It got almost no attention, but in May, CNN reported that Sens. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) and Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) wrote a letter to Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Yuriy Lutsenko, expressing concern at the closing of four investigations they said were critical to the Mueller probe. In the letter, they implied that their support for U.S. assistance to Ukraine was at stake. Describing themselves as “strong advocates for a robust and close relationship with Ukraine,” the Democratic senators declared, “We have supported [the] capacity-building process and are disappointed that some in Kyiv appear to have cast aside these [democratic] principles to avoid the ire of President Trump,” before demanding Lutsenko “reverse course and halt any efforts to impede cooperation with this important investigation.”
So, it’s okay for Democratic senators to encourage Ukraine to investigate Trump, but it’s not okay for the president to allegedly encourage Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden?
And then there is Joe Biden. In 2016, the then-vice president threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees to Ukraine if the government did not fire the country’s top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin. According to the New York Times, “Among those who had a stake in the outcome was Hunter Biden … who at the time was on the board of an energy company owned by a Ukrainian oligarch who had been in the sights of the fired prosecutor general.” The Post reports that it is “unclear how seriously Shokin — who was under fire by U.S. and European officials for not taking a more aggressive posture toward corruption overall — was scrutinizing Burisma when he was forced out.” But what is clear is that Biden bragged about getting him fired, declaring last year: “I looked at them and said, ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.’ Well, son of a b–. He got fired.”
This weekend, Biden told reporters, “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.” That is flatly untrue. Hunter admitted in an interview with the New Yorker that his father expressed concern about the Burisma post at least once: “Dad said, ‘I hope you know what you are doing,’ and I said, ‘I do.’” Moreover, the New Yorker reports that, “In December, 2015, as Joe Biden prepared to return to Ukraine, his aides braced for renewed scrutiny of Hunter’s relationship with Burisma. Amos Hochstein, the Obama Administration’s special envoy for energy policy, raised the matter with Biden.” That same month, the New York Times published an article about how Hunter’s business dealings in Ukraine undermined the vice president’s anti-corruption message, which quoted a Biden spokesman saying it had no impact.
So, Biden was fully aware of his son’s involvement with Burisma when he pressured Ukraine to fire the prosecutor in 2016.

In other words, Democrats think the president should be impeached for doing something in Ukraine that’s OK when Democrats do it? I can’t imagine that Americans are too stupid to see this, but then again, I couldn’t imagine 65 million people voting for Hillary, either.

Queer Theory Pedophilia Jeopardy

Posted on | September 24, 2019 | Comments Off on Queer Theory Pedophilia Jeopardy

One of the points I’ve repeatedly made about Third Wave feminism over the past five years is about Judith Butler’s role in popularizing a particular view of “gender.” In doing so, I dug deeply into the sources cited in Butler’s Gender Trouble, which is almost universally assigned as a required text in university Women’s Studies programs. Butler’s opaque academic jargon serves to conceal her authorial purpose, but when you start investigating her sources, you recognize that she is advocating extreme perversion. As I pointed out just the other day, for example, Michel Foucault advocated the abolition of age-of-consent laws. Another of Butler’s key sources was Gayle Rubin, who favorably cited the pedophile group NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association) in opposition to laws against child pornography. Once you recognize this, the Third Wave feminist academic project of “Queer Theory” takes on a sinister significance, and for years, I’ve felt like I was shouting into the void on this subject. Does nobody else get it? Does no one care?

Say hello to Derrick Jensen, radical environmentalist and founding member of Deep Green Resistance (DGR). Part of DGR’s ideology is radical feminism of the Second Wave variety (e.g., Andrea Dworkin) and so it is that Jensen is an outspoken critic of Queer Theory. Here he is speaking at an event in Oregon in March 2018, when he begins citing the connections between Queer Theory and pedophilia.

 

This is remarkable — Jensen, indisputably a man of the Left, taking direct aim at one of the academic Left’s pet ideologies. And perhaps you will not be surprised to learn that Jensen’s book Anarchism and the Politics of Violation, which had been slated for publication last fall, got cancelled because he “dared to critique queer theory.”

Ukraine! Ukraine! Ukraine!

The media-generated anti-Trump hysteria never ends:

House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff announced Tuesday that the whistleblower who filed a mysterious complaint, which includes allegations about President Donald Trump’s conduct, would like to speak to the committee.
The whistleblower has requested guidance from acting DNI Joseph Maguire on how to do so, Schiff said.
“We have been informed by the whistleblower’s counsel that their client would like to speak to our committee and has requested guidance from the Acting DNI as to how to do so,” Schiff tweeted.
“We’re in touch with counsel and look forward to the whistleblower’s testimony as soon as this week,” he added.
The whisteblower’s legal counsel did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment.
That news came shortly after Trump said Tuesday he will release the “unredacted transcript” of his July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — a call which has been scrutinized in the wake of the whistleblower complaint and Trump’s admission that he pushed Zelensky to investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son Hunter during the conversation.
There is no evidence of wrongdoing by either Joe or Hunter Biden.
“I am currently at the United Nations representing our Country, but have authorized the release tomorrow of the complete, fully declassified and unredacted transcript of my phone conversation with President Zelensky of Ukraine,” Trump tweeted while attending the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Everybody needs to calm the hell down. My expectation is that this latest “scandal” will prove to be nothing, and that it will end up hurting Democrats more than it hurts Trump. Be patient.

Trump Country

Posted on | September 24, 2019 | Comments Off on Trump Country

 

In 2016, Donald Trump got 84% of the vote in Johnson County, Kentucky. And you may ask, “Why does this matter?” Because there’s a tiny community in Johnson County called Butcher Hollow, which is the birthplace of Loretta Lynn, the First Lady of Country Music. If you start looking up the hometowns of Grand Ole Opry legends, you’ll find that practically all of them come from places that voted for Trump, including Merle Haggard, who was born in Kern County, California, which went for Trump by a 13-point margin. The political geography of country music might tell us more about America than just about any other metric:

Dwight Yoakam had me in tears Sunday night. I was watching the new Ken Burns PBS documentary series about the history of country music, and Yoakam quoted a Merle Haggard song, “Holding Things Together,” which is about a man trying to raise his children after his wife has left the family. When Yoakam sang the verse about a heartbroken father attempting to comfort his daughter on her birthday, he choked up, and suddenly the tears were streaming from my eyes, too.
They just don’t write ’em like that anymore, not even in Nashville. Those old songs about hard times and broken hearts, crying in your beer over a cheating woman — you can literally feel the pain in the twanging voices and the whining steel guitars. And the men and women who sang those songs knew a thing or two about hard times, having come from backgrounds of poverty that few Americans in the 21st century can imagine.
Give credit to Burns for this: His eight-part series reminds us that what our contemporary progressives denounce as “white privilege” has never been universal in America, and it certainly didn’t typify the backgrounds of the folks who made Nashville famous as “Music City, U.S.A.” Haggard, for example, was born in Kern County, California, in 1937, the youngest of three children in a family that had left a farm in Oklahoma after their barn burned down. The Haggards were “Okies,” characters right out of a Steinbeck novel, at the bottom of the heap in one of the worst economic eras in American history. . . .

Accomplices of Evil

Posted on | September 24, 2019 | 1 Comment

Feminists support abortion, an inherent evil, and in doing so, permit rapists to destroy evidence of their crimes:

In defending himself and his clinics against state allegations, the Illinois physician [Ulrich Klopfer] recounted how he performed an abortion on a 10-year-old girl who was raped by her uncle, never reporting the crime to police and, as a result, helping her parents cover up the atrocity by a family member. State officials cited the sickening defense as part of their reason for stripping him of his medical license. He was previously charged with failing to report performing abortions on two 13-year-olds.
According to a complaint filed by the Indiana Medical Licensing Board, Klopfer worked in clinics in South Bend, Gary and Fort Wayne from 2012 to 2015.
With thousands of ghoulishly stored dead bodies straight out of a horror movie, medical malpractice and a multistate mystery, you’d think the news media would be all over this story. Not so much.

How do such people sleep at night? How do feminists justify their association with monsters like Klopfer? And why are journalists unwilling to tell the truth about what is done in the name of “choice”?
