Horny Teacher Sentenced to Prison

Posted on | June 18, 2019 | 1 Comment

America’s public education system is run by perverts. Consider the case of Oklahoma science teacher Hunter Day. In 2014, at age 19, she married Tyler Day, a 6-foot-tall athlete who played linebacker for the University of Central Oklahoma. Her husband became a coach at Yukon High School, where she was hired to teach science and molest teenage boys:

Deputies say that the investigation began after they received a complaint by parents who said that Day was having inappropriate contact with their son.
Authorities say the teen’s parents told investigators that they found text messages and nude photographs on their son’s cell phone.
Investigators say they determined that Day and the teenage boy had already had sex, and that they had made plans to meet at her home to have sex again . . .
Authorities with the sheriff’s office used the boy’s cell phone and pretended to be him while contacting Day. Investigators asked Day if the meeting was still on, and she allegedly said it was but added that he should hurry before her husband got home from work.
Day texted the teen’s cell phone that the “door’s unlocked as usual,” and investigators found Day sitting on the living room floor with the lights turned off and candles lit.

The boy was 15 years old at the time, and the obvious question is why would this young woman, a university graduate employed as a professional educator, whose husband is a blond-haired, blue-eyed muscular Adonis, be sexually interested in a 15-year-old boy? She’s sitting in the living room by candlelight and the “door’s unlocked as usual.”

You see enough stories like this and you begin to wonder if molesting teenagers is the only reason women become high-school teachers. However, the weirdest part of this story is that Hunter Day’s husband seems not to care that his wife cuckolded him with a sophomore. He hasn’t divorced her and, in fact, accompanied her to a hearing in April. She pleaded guilty and was sentenced to prison last week.

My guess is she’ll be very popular in women’s prison, where she will have many opportunities to, uh, continue her educaation.

LGBT Totalitarians Lose Again

Posted on | June 17, 2019 | 3 Comments

Rachel and Laurel Bowman-Cryer want to force you to bake them a cake.

Do these two women look like they need more carbohydrates? Are they so starved for calories that their access to baked goods constitutes an emergency requiring government intervention? Alas, these two Democrats in Oregon took advantage of a law against “discrimination” that makes it mandatory for bakers to provide cakes for obese women who want to marry each other. The U.S. Supreme Court disagreed:

The Supreme Court on Monday tossed out a lower court ruling against two Oregon bakers who had refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple.
The case involved Melissa and Aaron Klein of Oregon, who shut down their small bakery after a state agency fined them $135,000 for refusing to bake a wedding cake for two lesbians. The agency said the Kleins had violated the state’s public accommodation law.
The Kleins, though, cited their Christian beliefs as the reason they would not provide services for the gay couple. The case followed another from last year, in which Supreme Court justices ruled in favor of a Colorado baker.
The high court sent the Klein case back to a lower court “for further consideration in light of” their Colorado decision.
The Oregon case involved Rachel Bowman-Cryer, who went to the Sweet Cakes by Melissa in Gresham, Oregon, in January 2013 and inquired about a wedding cake. When Aaron Klein asked for the name of the groom, Bowman-Cryer said there wasn’t one. Klein told her the bakery does not bake cakes for gay weddings.
The Kleins were ordered to pay $135,000 to the couple for “discriminating against them in violation of a state public accommodations statute,” Fox News reported. The couple was forced to shut down their bakery.

This is the second time in a year the Supreme Court has ruled against the LGBT totalitarians. Last year, the court struck down a Colorado “civil rights” punishment against Masterpiece Cake Shop.

In the sidebar at AOSHQ, Oregon Muse comments:

I don’t understand why there never seems to be a judge in these cases that is willing to ask the obvious question “Hey, why can’t you just go to some other shop that will bake you your damn cake?”

This involves what I’ve called “The Compulsory Approval Doctrine.” LGBT radicals do not consider it sufficient that their basic rights of life, liberty and property should be protected, as the Constitution requires; they believe they are entitled to public approval of their sexual peculiarities, and that the force of government should be exerted to compel this approval: Dissent is “hate speech” and must be silenced.

Common courtesy once forbade the civilized person from making mention of what is called “sexuality,” and you can call me old-fashioned, but I lament how the Left’s identity-politics agenda has ruined our manners as much as (or arguably more than) it has ruined our morality. Homosexuality and transvestitism are not recent inventions, but public discussion of such behaviors was once more or less prohibited. Nowadays, everyone is expected to “come out” and publicly proclaim their carnal appetites, their fetishes and “gender” delusions, and we’re all expected to applaud them for their courage in “coming out.”

What have the Bowman-Cryers done to deserve our applause? You’re not allowed to ask such a question. Skepticism is also “hate speech,” and you’re likewise not permitted to speculate why these women are the way they are. To suggest that homosexuality can be explained from a perspective of developmental psychology — that deviant behavior might result from some causative factor in the circumstances of a person’s early childhood experience — contradicts the “born that way” narrative. We are therefore required to ignore any evidence that the homosexual’s preference might be, for example, a psychological reaction to family dysfunction. But consider this information:

They met when they were 19 and Laurel Bowman was on medical leave from the Navy. . . .
They had both grown up without a family. Rachel’s mom kicked her out at 14 for being a lesbian. Laurel had bounced from home to home after her father and brother died in a car accident when she was 3.
Laurel proposed after a year, but Rachel turned her down. Rachel hadn’t believed in marriage since her parents divorced when she was young. . . .
After her younger brother came out as gay, Rachel persuaded her mother to move with him to Portland.

What a completely random coincidence, said nobody ever.

Of course, there is no certain combination of circumstances that automatically lead to someone becoming homosexual, but as I’ve often said, there’s always a backstory. Back in the heyday of Freudian “talk therapy,” analysts often focused on their patients’ relationship with their parents as the best clues to the origin of their emotional problems, and there was extensive research about the correlations between certain disorders and various childhood factors. From this research emerged a number of observations about developmental patterns. For example, it was observed that the male homosexual was typically the son of a so-called “smother mother” household — “too much closeness to mother and a distant negative relationship with father.” We are no longer permitted to notice such patterns, apparently because any curiosity about the “why” of sexual deviance threatens the self-esteem of deviants.

So the fact that Rachel and her younger brother are both homosexuals, and that their parents divorced when they were young, is not something we can explore from the perspective of developmental psychology. Why? Because this might hurt their feelings. This quasi-therapeutic attitude of protecting the allegedly fragile self-esteem of Victims of Society is what justifies the Compulsory Approval Doctrine. We are supposed to believe that homosexuals are delicate creatures, emotional weaklings who are just one insult away from committing suicide, and therefore everyone must constantly applaud them for their courage.

Well, excuse me for not volunteering as an LGBT cheerleader, but it so happens that I know actual gay people, and in general they don’t seem to be suffering from a deficit of self-esteem. The real-life gay people I’ve actually known were not emotional basket cases, trapped in a slough of suicidal depression; quite the contrary, in fact. Exactly how this myth of gay victimhood became part of our cultural narrative is a subject worth studying, but my point is that this whole bake-me-a-cake business and the endless witch-hunt against “homophobia” is misguided, and contrary to First Amendment freedoms. If you have a right to say what you believe, how then can anyone compel you to say something you don’t believe? Certainly, in a free society, you cannot be forced to pretend that you approve of homosexuality if you don’t. As I say, old-fashioned courtesy would impose a polite silence in regard to such matters, but it’s difficult to remain silent while radical gay activists are attempting to shut down any business that does not endorse their agenda.

As for the Bowman-Cryers, I would suggest that they skip the cake altogether, and perhaps instead try a tasty salad with low-fat dressing.

Naming Names

Posted on | June 17, 2019 | Comments Off on Naming Names

We now know the names of three pollsters — Greg Lloyd, Mike Baselice and Adam Geller — fired by the Trump 2020 campaign after they allegedly leaked internal poll data to the New York Times showing President Trump trailing Joe Biden in key battleground states. Lloyd is a former associate of Kellyanne Conway, Baselice “has been close to Brad Parscale, who is campaign manager for the 2020 effort,” and Geller has previously worked for former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

If somebody hires you to work for them, by God, work for them. The Republican Party has long suffered from a plague of selfish egomaniacs and untrustworthy backstabbers, who get themselves hired on the basis of personal connections — who they were buddies with as College Republicans — and then deliberately betray the trust placed in them. Any GOP operative who leaks damaging information to the media ought to be permanently barred from employment by Republicans.

I couldn’t be more pumped. This is very exciting.

Heh heh heh — the longest longshot in the race will share the stage with the top front-runners, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, as well as the top-ranked black contender Sen. Kamala Harris and gay Indiana wonder boy Pete Buttigieg and . . . Wait a minute. That means Elizabeth Warren will be in the Wednesday lineup with a bunch of nobodies.

Sucks to be you, Pocahontas.

Hermione Granger At The Marco Polo Bridge

Posted on | June 15, 2019 | Comments Off on Hermione Granger At The Marco Polo Bridge

— by Wombat-socho

Aside from the occasional used book, I haven’t bought any books from anyone but Amazon in quite a while. This year, I made an exception and actually paid list price for the Compton Crook Award winner’s debut novel, The Poppy War, by R. F. Kuang. As The post title indicates, this is a coming of age fantasy in a world where magic works…differently, and the gods are feared for a very good reason. Kuang’s novel is about a young girl orphaned by war and fostered by a merchant family who changes her fate by passing the extremely difficult admittance exam for Sinegard, an elite military school where she discovers that her fate isn’t to be an officer in the Imperial military, but something far more dangerous. Despite the foregoing, this is not a book for children or even young adults, because it’s set in the Second Sino-Japanese War, except that everyone is using arrows, swords, and polearms instead of rifles and artillery. While the notion of Chiang Kai-Shek as the Empress is amusing, Kuang spares us and her heroine nothing, not even the Rape of Nanking, which is horrifically re-enacted. I am looking forward to the sequel, The Dragon Republic with some trepidation; I’m hoping our heroine lives happily ever after but am rather afraid she won’t. It’s due out in August.

On a more cheerful note, the first volume of Komi Can’t Communicate is out from Viz Media. I’d been following it thanks to fan translations on the web, and wrote kind of a pre-review here. The manga has more than lived up to my expectations – while a lot of the characters are bizarre, extreme caricatures of typical middle school kids, it’s at its base the story of a girl who can’t talk to people well but badly wants to make friends instead of being placed on a pedestal by her classmates for her “aloof” beauty. The art is nothing special, but the story is good. Worth your time.

The Four Horsemen universe rolls on, and I’ve finished Mark Wandrey’s Dirty Deeds and Jon Osborne’s When The Axe Falls. Wandrey’s book is the tale of a merc who wants to retire on an idyllic island colony…but trouble keeps finding him, and when the Mercenary Guild forces land, he realizes it’s time to saddle up with his fellow retirees and show the aliens why it’s a bad idea to mess with people who’ve grown old in a field where few do. Lots of humor, lots of action. Highly recommended. Osborne’s book is also good, mixing a story of revenge with an underhanded scheme by the Guild to set humans against humans….which turns out to be a bad idea for the humans the Guild is using as a catspaw.

Cash being short, I’m going to head over to the library this week and get caught up on some recent books by David Drake and the 1632 crowd, plus whatever else catches my eye.
