Violence Against Women Update

Police say Jacobi Bellazin raped an LSU student.

This must be that “rape culture” feminists keep warning us about:

Police have arrested a highly recruited high school football player accused of raping an LSU student in a campus parking lot earlier this month.
LSUPD says 17-year-old Jacobi Bellazin was arrested Wednesday, accused of raping the victim after picking her up from her dorm on campus. The victim told police that she agreed to meet Bellazin behind her dorm shortly after 8 p.m. on Sept. 6.
Once inside his car, she says Bellazin drove them to a nearby gravel parking lot and forced himself onto her. The victim said she pushed Bellazin and told him she didn’t want to have sex. Instead of stopping, Bellazin allegedly grabbed the woman’s phone and shoved it beneath her seat where she could not reach it.
From there, she says he forced the her to perform oral sex and then climbed over the seat, getting on top of her. The victim then told police that Bellazin reclined the seat, pinned her down, grabbed her throat and forced her legs apart. She said the assault went on for several minutes.
After he finished, the student said Bellazin climbed back into the driver’s seat and dropped her back off at the dorm around 8:40 p.m.
A Pointe Coupee school official says Bellazin is a football player at Livonia High School. According to ESPN and rivals.com, he has drawn offers from several high-profile schools, including Georgia, Ole Miss and Arkansas. ESPN also lists LSU as a prospect, but the school says it has made no offer.
Bellazin was arrested and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on one count of second-degree rape.

This arrest was reported Sept. 27, the same day as the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing where Christine Ford Blasey testified, so we can understand why feminists didn’t have time to notice it. Also, because Jacobi Bellazin probably isn’t a Republican, feminists don’t care.

Violence Against Women Update

Dustin Thomas Rogers has a lengthy criminal record.

Feminists have spent the past three weeks talking about allegations of sexual assault in Montgomery County, Maryland. While extremely concerned about what happened to prep-school girls in 1982, they’ve ignored more recent violence against women in the community:

Police have identified a man they say was arrested in connection with the rape of a woman early Wednesday morning near a busy road in Rockville.
Investigators say 25-year-old Dustin Thomas Rogers was taken into custody Wednesday night after he used a choke hold to overpower the victim before pulling her into the wooded area along Frederick Road and West Gude Drive at about 12:10 a.m. on Wednesday.
Detectives said the woman, who had just left the Shady Grove Metro station, fought back throughout the attack, but found it difficult to breathe as Rogers struck her in the face and torso during the sexual assault.
The woman was able to break free and run to a nearby office building where security guards called police. The victim was hospitalized and is still recovering from the attack.
When police arrived at the scene they found Rogers’ black iPhone, according to officials.
After receiving a description of Rogers, police located him at a nearby 7-Eleven trying to make a purchase.
He faces first-degree rape and first-degree assault charges. Officials said he was also charged with a separate count of first-degree assault from an unrelated incident.
Rogers has a lengthy criminal history. When FOX 5 requested a booking photo from police, they were able to send 12 photos from prior encounters with the law. According to court records, Rogers has been convicted of a crime at least three times in the last seven years.
Montgomery County police said they had a warrant for Rogers’ arrest after he pulled a knife on someone in Germantown on Friday. He is being held without bond.

Because the suspect is not a Georgetown Prep alumnus or a Republican federal judge, however, feminists don’t care about his crimes.

Friday Fiction: 100 Word Challenge

Posted on | October 5, 2018 | Comments Off on Friday Fiction: 100 Word Challenge

by Smitty

The downpour masked the tears of despair. After six months in the brothel, she was dead inside. She ached from the abuse as she limped through the neon jungle to the little closet that was hers. It was only a matter of time before the exposure to strangers gave her one of the incurable sicknesses. Why had life become this?

She reached in her pocket and felt the paper.

It was an invitation to something called a “church service”.

She’s been walking to the brothel yesterday when a missionary handed it to her.

If awake in time, she’d try it.

BREAKING: Anti-Male Georgetown University Professor Now on Leave

Posted on | October 5, 2018 | 1 Comment

 

The fight over the Kavanaugh nomination produces more good news:

An anti-Trump professor, Dr. Carol Christine Fair, is no longer teaching classes at Georgetown University following calls for the outspoken liberal educator to be fired.
Fair stirred up controversy on Twitter when she wished miserable deaths upon Republican senators supporting Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
“Look at [this] chorus of entitled white men justifying a serial rapist’s arrogated entitlement,” she wrote. “All of them deserve miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gasps. Bonus: we castrate their corpses and feed them to swine? Yes.”
Her account was de-verified and temporarily suspended Tuesday for violating Twitter’s rules, but until Friday, the university had taken no action against the controversial professor.
A Georgetown spokesperson told Fox News Fair is no longer teaching students, but will be traveling internationally for university research.
Joel Hellman, dean of the School of Foreign Services (SFS) where Fair is a distinguished associate professor, made the statement Friday afternoon pointing to the importance of a bias-free classroom where students can learn.
“To prevent further disruption to her students and out of an abundance of caution for the security of our community, we have mutually agreed for Professor Fair to go on research leave effective immediately,” Hellman wrote in a statement to the SFS community. “Professor Fair will accelerate previously scheduled international research travel.” . . .
“We can and do strongly condemn the use of violent imagery, profanity, and insensitive labeling of individuals based on gender, ethnicity or political affiliation in any form of discourse,” Hellman said. . . .
Days before, Fair went on a Twitter tirade against Kavanaugh, calling the embattled nominee a “rapist” and “perjurer.” She described the GOP as a “f—ing death cult” and “filthy swine.”

 

It’s impossible to exaggerate how much feminists hate men. Now if every feminist professor in academia would just emulate Professor Fair and say what she really thinks, we could get them all fired.

Oh, speaking of good news, Saturday will be my 59th birthday.

The best way to wish me a happy birthday, of course, is to remember the Five Most Important Words in the English Language:

HIT THE FREAKING TIP JAR!

UPDATE: It doesn’t get much better than this:

“What is best in life? To crush your enemies. See them driven before you. And to hear the lamentations of their women.”

Truth Triumphs Over Lies: Collins, Flake, Manchin Will Vote ‘Yes’ on Kavanaugh

Posted on | October 5, 2018 | Comments Off on Truth Triumphs Over Lies: Collins, Flake, Manchin Will Vote ‘Yes’ on Kavanaugh

 

Cue the sad trombone for the #Resistance mob. Barring unforeseen developments, it now appears that the Senate will confirm Brett Kavanaugh as the next associate justice of the Supreme Court:

Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh is heading to confirmation to the Supreme Court this weekend after two key undecided senators — Susan Collins of Maine and Joe Manchin III of West Virginia — announced Friday that they would support his elevation to the high court, ending the most divisive confirmation fight in decades.
Ms. Collins’ lengthy speech on the Senate floor dwelled as much on Judge Kavanaugh’s judicial record as on the sexual misconduct charges that have consumed his nomination. She did conclude, “We will be ill-served in the long run if we abandon the presumption of innocence.” . . .
Mr. Manchin, a Democrat, immediately followed with a statement proclaiming his support.
“I have reservations about this vote given the serious accusations against Judge Kavanaugh and the temperament he displayed in the hearing,” he wrote. “And my heart goes out to anyone who has experienced any type of sexual assault in their life. However, based on all of the information I have available to me, including the recently completed F.B.I. report, I have found Judge Kavanaugh to be a qualified jurist.” . . .
With the Senate and the nation bitterly divided, Judge Kavanaugh’s future came to rest with four undecided senators: three Republicans — Jeff Flake of Arizona, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Ms. Collins — and one Democrat, Joe Manchin III of West Virginia. But one by one, they let their positions be known.
Mr. Flake said Friday that he would vote for Judge Kavanaugh “unless something big changes.”

(Hat-tip: Stephen Green at Instapundit.)

UPDATE: In the speech announcing her intention to vote “yes,” Sen. Collins took direct aim at Michael Avenatti’s client Julie Swetnick:

The presumption of innocence is relevant to the advice and consent function when an accusation departs from a nominee’s otherwise exemplary record. I worry that departing from this presumption could lead to a lack of public faith in the judiciary and would be hugely damaging to the confirmation process moving forward. Some of the allegations levied against Judge Kavanaugh illustrate why the presumption of innocence is so important. I am thinking in particular not of the allegations raised by Professor Ford, but of the allegation that, when he was a teenager, Judge Kavanaugh drugged multiple girls and used their weakened state to facilitate gang rape. This outlandish allegation was put forth without any credible supporting evidence and simply parroted public statements of others. That such an allegation can find its way into the Supreme Court confirmation process is a stark reminder about why the presumption of innocence is so ingrained in our American consciousness.

Avenatti immediately lost his fecal continence on Twitter.

She Is Not Even a Good Liar

Posted on | October 5, 2018 | 1 Comment

Further evidence of Christine Blasey Ford’s dishonesty — as if we needed further evidence — includes her story that the reason she first discussed Judge Kavanaugh with her husband was that, while remodeling their home in 2012, she wanted to add an extra front door because of her trauma-induced claustrophobia. We know that this claustrophobia excuse is false, because her ex-boyfriend Brian Merrick has contradicted her. Steve Sailer explains that the real reason the Fords wanted a second front door was so that they could rent out a room in the skyrocketing Palo Alto real-estate market. Furthermore, if Professor Ford didn’t mention her youthful acquaintance with Judge Kavanaugh to her husband until 2012, there was an obvious reason: It was a presidential election year, and Judge Kavanaugh was mentioned as being high on the list of possible Supreme Court nominees if a Republican were elected. As early as December 2011, the Huffington Post declared: “Judge Brett Kavanaugh is almost invariably the first name Supreme Court watchers volunteer as the next conservative justice.” In March 2012, Judge Kavanaugh was profiled by Jeffrey Toobin in the New Yorker. It has been often remarked that Professor Ford refused to turn over to the Judiciary Committee the notes from the 2012 therapy session which were cited by the Washington Post as corroborating her story. So her account of the origins of her recovered memory are suspicious and, when we consider that she coached her friend Monica McLean how to pass a polygraph, then lied about this during her testimony to the committee, we have every reason to believe that Professor Ford is a liar — but not a very good liar.

The cloture motion on Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination just passed the Senate, with Sens. Collins, Flake and Manchin all voting “yes.” If they are also “yes” in the final vote for confirmation, by Monday, we will be speaking of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

UPDATE: Bipartisan vote-swapping:

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh advanced in the Senate Friday by a 51-49 margin, prevailing on a critical procedural measure and setting up a final confirmation vote likely on Saturday.
Two senators broke with their parties to produce the result, as Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R., Alaska) voted against ending debate and proceeding to the final vote, and Sen. Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.) voted in favor.
“I believe we are dealing with issues that are bigger than a nominee,” Ms. Murkowski said, adding that her vote had been the “most difficult” decision she has ever had to make. “I believe he is a good man,” Ms. Murkowski told reporters, but “in my view, he’s not the best man for the court at this time.”

(Hat-tip: Stephen Green at Instapundit.)

Permit me to add another point to the vast body of evidence indicating that Christine Blasey Ford is a liar: Her inclusion of Mark Gavreau Judge as a participant in the alleged attack on her. Second only to Kavanaugh, his friend Judge is the most prominent Georgetown Prep alumnus of his generation. Significantly, Judge wrote not one, but two memoirs that related his adolescent alcoholism: Wasted: Tales of a Gen X Drunk (1997) and God and Man at Georgetown Prep: How I Became a Catholic Despite 20 Years of Catholic Schooling (2005). If you were going to accuse Brett Kavanaugh of engaging in offensive drunken activity as a teenager, how convenient it would be for you that his prep-school buddy had written two books about it, including one which included the thinly-veiled pseudonym “Bart O’Kavanaugh.”

Judge describes his own blackout-drunk escapades, including the morning-after fear that he might have done something terrible during his condition of extreme intoxication. Does anyone think it was a coincidence that Professor Ford included Judge in her tale? Fortunately for Judge Kavanaugh, he kept a calendar of his social life in high school, and Professor Ford’s story could not be reconciled with the dates in that calendar, there were other key factual inconsistencies, and every witness she named (including her friend Leland Keyser) denied any knowledge of the house party she described. It’s a terrible thing that, 36 years after an alleged incident, a man should be required to disprove such an allegation, and it seems to us cruel to call his accuser a liar, but if Brett Kavanaugh is innocent, Christian Blasey Ford is guilty of perjury.
