Dutch Police Seek Turkish Suspect in Utrecht Shooting That Killed Three

Posted on | March 18, 2019 | Comments Off on Dutch Police Seek Turkish Suspect in Utrecht Shooting That Killed Three

 

The latest story:

Police have named the suspect in a shooting attack on a tram in the central Dutch city of Utrecht which has left three people dead and nine injured.
Officers identified Turkish-born Gokmen Tanis, 37, in connection with the incident. The public have been urged not to approach him.
Authorities immediately raised the terror alert for the area to the maximum level and said they are considering the possibility of a “terrorist motive” in the attack.
Utrecht mayor Jan van Zanen confirmed the number of people killed and injured in the incident, saying the authorities were likely to “assume a terror motive”.
The suspect reportedly opened fire at passengers on a tram in the area of 24 Oktoberplein.

It is not yet clear whether this actually is a terrorist attack, but let’s engage in unsubstantiated speculation anyway:

If Trump inspired the New Zealand shooter, as the media alleges, did the media inspire this guy? How about Ilhan Omar? Or is Trump the only person on earth with the charisma to inspire people?

Personally, I blame Beto O’Rourke because why not?

UPDATE: The suspect has reportedly been arrested after an eight-hour manhunt. He had a previous criminal record, and the tram shooting may have resulted from a personal quarrel, rather than terrorism. Still, I blame Beto O’Rourke.

Feminism, Darwinism, and the Extinction of Women Like Sophie Vershbow

Posted on | March 18, 2019 | 2 Comments

 

“Adaptive behavior refers to behavior that enables a person . . . to get along in his or her environment with greatest success and least conflict with others. . . .
“In contrast, maladaptive behavior is a type of behavior that is often used to reduce one’s anxiety, but the result is dysfunctional and non-productive.”

Has it ever occurred to any feminist that her ideology is self-destructive? That whatever emotional benefit she gains from the sense of collective solidarity comes at the cost of her long-term happiness as an individual? Does any feminist have the objectivity necessary to step back from herself and evaluate whether the alleged “oppression” she has devoted her life to battling really exists? Can an intelligent woman ever examine the feminist movement critically and ask herself, “Cui bono?”

Sophie Vershbow is the senior social media manager for Random House who, in October 2018, unleashed an anti-Kavanaugh rant that went viral.

 

That tweet inspired an online backlash that Sophie described last month in a Huffington Post column, but I’d never heard of her until I was researching a certain phrase used by the pickup artist (PUA) community, which led me to a post about Sophie at Chateau Heartiste. (Sophie, if you’re reading this, don’t click that link.) Whenever I encounter such a person, I become curious: Who is this? What’s their backstory? What makes them tick? Twitter infamy is like mass murder. A person doesn’t suddenly one day erupt in an act of senseless violence (or Internet stupidity). No, there are always warning signs that foreshadow the catastrophic incident. Every time some deranged wackjob commits an atrocity, TV reporters interview the neighbors, who always say the same thing: “He was a quiet guy. Kept to himself a lot. Kind of a loner.” But then the police report finding a massive stash of neo-Nazi literature in the guy’s trailer or somebody identifies his Reddit profile where he’s raving about the CIA or the Rothschilds or whatever, and the mystery of the mass murderer’s motive becomes slightly less mysterious. And the same is true when a young woman ruins her life with an idiotic feminist rant.

Make no mistake — becoming notorious as a feminist lunatic had disastrous consequences for Sophie Vershbow’s romantic life. Six weeks after her anti-Kavanaugh tweet went viral, she got dumped by the boyfriend she had been dating since 2014. Coincidence? I think not.

 

Since then, her Twitter feed has regularly featured Sophie’s snarky putdowns of the men she encounters via dating apps, none of whom is good enough for her. “All these men are inferior” — thus does the rejected 29-year-old rationalize her inability to find a replacement for the cute, fun boyfriend with whom she wasted her best years.

Let me explain, for anyone who may need this explanation, why FEMINIST RANTING IN ALL CAPS ON TWITTER is not a good look for any woman who is not a lesbian employed by a left-wing 501(c)3. Like, if you’re on the payroll at Planned Parenthood and have zero interest in male companionship, you can rant in capital letters to your heart’s content, but if you’re a heterosexual woman employed in the private sector . . . Well, it’s not a good look. Maybe because she works for a major publisher and lives in Manhattan, this isn’t so apparent to Sophie Vershbow. Random House publishes a lot of books by feminists (e.g., Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie) and never publishes any anti-feminists, so that Sophie works inside an echo chamber where feminism is not controversial. In fact, feminism is more or less mandatory in Sophie’s workplace, because if any man employed at Random House ever said anything vaguely sexist, he’d be fired for harassment in a heartbeat.

 

This is why Sophie is trolling for Tinder trash. People use dating apps because fear of a harassment accusation now makes it impossible for people to date anyone they work with. There may be guys at Random House who think Sophie’s cute, but none of them would ever ask her for a date, because asking a woman for a date could be “unwanted sexual advances” and — boom! — your career at Random House is over, sir.

By the way, this is why your college daughter doesn’t have a boyfriend. Heterosexuality is now more or less illegal on college campuses, thanks to the “rape culture” hysteria. Any guy smart enough to attend college is smart enough to understand that if he hooks up with a girl at a party and she later feels remorse over their hook-up, she can accuse him of rape and he’ll be expelled by one of the kangaroo-court campus tribunals that exist for no other purpose but to find male students guilty of sexual assault, no matter what actually happened. The smart thing for a college boy to do nowadays is to avoid any social interaction with his female classmates, who have been indoctrinated to believe that every male on campus is a rapist. This anti-male attitude, instilled in the minds of every college girl by feminist “consent workshop” instructors on Day One of freshman orientation, makes dating impossible on the 21st-century university campus, and this attitude gets carried over into the workplace where any male expression of romantic interest in a female co-worker could result in an accusation of “sexual harassment.” This means Sophie can’t date any guy she works with, which is why she’s swiping through profiles on Tinder, Bumble, OKCupid, whatever. But I digress . . .

FEMINIST RANTING IN ALL CAPS ON TWITTER is not a good look in a world where any guy Sophie Vershbow meets can Google her name and avoid the risk of getting involved with a man-hating lunatic. Did I mention that Sophie has a history of eating disorders, depression and anxiety? Like, she once starved herself down to 98 pounds and then, a few years later, ballooned up to 140, then went through a phase of bulimia, and is apparently still in therapy, but despite all her psychiatric baggage, she was able to find a tall, muscular, blond boyfriend and for her to let him slip through her grasp — whoa, foolish blunder.

 

Oh, yeah — so “empowered”! You’re five months away from your 30th birthday and if you think your chances of happily-ever-after are going to improve after you hit the big three-oh, you’re deluded. All these losers from dating apps you mock on Twitter? A couple of years from now, even those losers will be swiping left on you. Your tall, muscular, blond ex-boyfriend probably won’t have any problems finding someone new and your FEMINIST RANTING IN ALL CAPS ON TWITTER certainly won’t change the odds in your favor. On the contrary, that’s like the third strike against you. Guys might tolerate a certain amount of craziness in a girlfriend, but when you add in the anti-male ideology? Scratch.

In 2015, when she was already a year into her relationship with blond muscle guy, Sophie Vershbow wrote a column at a feminist site explaining why she would never date a Republican, concluding thus:

No matter how pro-choice you claim to be, it’s all just meaningless words if you vote for a candidate who is willing to rid millions of women of the right to control their own bodies, or to defund organizations like Planned Parenthood that support reproductive health.
Living in liberal New York City, it’s easy to take access to safe, legal abortion for granted. But for millions of women in the United States, it’s a very different story. Every vote affects people across the entire country, and being supportive of just your girlfriend’s right to choose does not make you pro-choice. It’s about supporting every woman’s right to choose.
My mid-20s dating is, at its core, an audition process for the role of my “life partner.” And I’m not interested in casting a man who puts his wallet in front of his morals. So gentlemen, remember: If you want to have sex with me, then you need to get in bed with a candidate who supports my right to choose.

Well, how did that “audition process” work out for you, ma’am?

The plural of “anecdote” is data, as they say, and it’s actually not difficult to explain why feminism is making life worse, rather than better, for women like Sophie. Take a look at the 2016 exit polls for Pennsylvania, a state that swung from blue to red for Trump. In Pennsylvania, white men preferred Trump over Hillary Clinton 2-to-1 — 64% to 32%.

“Well,” you scoff, “that doesn’t mean anything. That’s just because white guys in Pennsylvania are a bunch of ignorant, unemployed losers.”

Nope — Trump got an 17-point margin (56%-39%) over Hillary among college-educated white men in Pennsylvania. Explain that any way you want, but the reality is that Hillary’s feminist-themed campaign drove male voters into the Republican column in large numbers. The numbers may be different in “liberal New York City,” but the general trend is clear: Men don’t like feminism, because feminism is an anti-male ideology.

This is why I think it’s not a coincidence that Sophie Vershbow’s boyfriend dumped her on Nov. 12, which was 38 days after her Oct. 5 FEMINIST RANTING IN ALL CAPS ON TWITTER outburst against men who supported Bret Kavanaugh. Any reasonably intelligent and objective observer of Kavanaugh’s confirmation process had to conclude that all of his accusers, including Christine Blasey Ford, were lying. Everything known about Kavanaugh’s character prior to his nomination to the Supreme Court contradicted the portrait of him as a teenage gang-rapist, and once Michael Avenatti proved (unintentionally) how easy it was to find women willing to lie about a Republican, reasonable observers concluded that the whole thing had been a dishonest partisan smear from beginning to end. Even if you were willing to stipulate that maybe there had been some unpleasant encounter between Kavanaugh and young Christine Blasey circa 1982, there certainly wasn’t enough evidence to justify making this accusation the subject of a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. Kavanaugh was treated unfairly, and while we have become accustomed to such brass-knuckles tactics in politics, it is wrong to disparage those who objected to the lynch-mob treatment Democrats inflicted on Kavanaugh, whose reputation was previously impeccable.

Thirty-eight days later, Sophie gets dumped by Will, the tall, muscular, blond guy she’s been dating since 2014. Not a coincidence.

My hunch is your boy Will got red-pilled, the hard way.

Like any young guy in New York City, Will was able to tolerate a certain amount of feminism from his girlfriend. It comes with the territory. Hillary got 87% of the vote in Manhattan, so a guy in that dating scene has either got to adjust to the political climate or do without. It’s like, if a guy is living in small-town North Alabama, he must either adjust to dating redneck girls or do without. For more than three years, Will was OK with dating Sophie, who didn’t seem much worse than any other woman in Manhattan until the Kavanaugh thing happened and she suddenly turned into the FEMINIST RANTING IN ALL CAPS ON TWITTER, and then he was like, “Wait a minute . . .”

Given the self-evident unfairness of how Democrats treated Kavanaugh, don’t you suppose Sophie’s maniacal anti-Kavanaugh screed gave Will a frightening glimpse of his own possible future? What would happen to Will if he married this woman? What would it be like if she ever aimed this sadistic, vindictive rage against him? A scary thought!

He wasted little time making his exit from that death trap, and I suspect Sophie will have difficulty finding volunteers to replace Will.

Insofar as Sophie values intelligence in her male companions, she has given those men every reason to avoid her. Only a stupid man would date the FEMINIST RANTING IN ALL CAPS ON TWITTER.

From a Darwinian perspective, such women are facing extinction. It’s not just that Sophie is pushing 30, but that she has publicly devoted her life to feminism, an ideology that is not only anti-male, but also anti-marriage and anti-motherhood. Even if her likelihood of finding a replacement for Will were good — and it’s not — what are the chances that Sophie will ever produce offspring? Even in the best-case scenario, by the time she could wrangle a man to the altar, she’d be 32 or 33, and would the newlyweds wish to procreate immediately? So she’s maybe 34 or 35 before they’re even ready to start trying to have a baby, and reproductive biology is not your friend at that point.

 

Did I mention that Sophie is an only child? That her parents are 66?

One might imagine that atheists, who profess Darwinian evolution as their substitute for religious belief, would be more mindful of the danger of their own extinction, but generally they are oblivious. In general, the more devoutly religious people are, the higher their birth rates, and vice-versa — atheists seem to be anti-parenthood.

 

How weird is it that Sophie Vershbow feels “constantly accosted by religion” in America, without considering whether religious people feel “constantly accosted” by her atheism? Which side is the aggressor in the Culture War? Since the 1960s, our public institutions have become entirely secular, if not indeed anti-religious, yet those who advocate the eradication of Christianity feel they are being “accosted.”

Like her feminism, Sophie Vershbow’s atheism is maladaptive. Her beliefs and behaviors may be emotionally comforting to her, but “the result is dysfunctional and non-productive.” She depicts herself as a victim, harassed by “Trump’s army of Twitter champions” who interpreted her FEMINIST RANTING IN ALL CAPS ON TWITTER outburst “as a personal attack on them and their values” — but wasn’t that exactly what she intended it to be? Hasn’t Sophie made it clear that she hates every one of the 63 million Americans who voted for Trump?

This is why Sophie’s dating life is likely to get worse, not better. Even in Manhattan, how easy will it be for her to find a bachelor who shares her hateful anti-Trump rage? Her ex-boyfriend Will wasn’t any kind of right-winger, but even a liberal guy couldn’t deal with having an enraged FEMINIST RANTING IN ALL CAPS ON TWITTER girlfriend.

Say what you will about the Trump era, but it’s pushed feminists over the edge, like mastodons trapped in the La Brea Tar Pits.

Conservatives face a tough fight
as Big Tech’s censorship expands
— Donald Trump Jr., The Hill

The internet is radicalizing white men.
Big tech could be doing more
— Alex Koppelman, CNN

Here’s a question: Do you think that censoring conservatives on the Internet will reduce extremist violence or increase it?

Much of what New Zealand mass-murderer Brenton Tarrant wrote about in his manifesto, “The Great Replacement,” echoed themes about demographic trends in, for example, Mark Steyn’s America Alone. The difference is that Steyn advocates public policy changes to address these problems, whereas Tarrant engaged in terroristic violence. Conservatives are against terroristic violence, and it is absurdly false to suggest that all critics of mass immigration are complicit in Tarrant’s criminal deeds.

Alex Koppelman now professes to be concerned that online discussions are “radicalizing white men,” but CNN didn’t show much concern when its coverage provoked riots in Ferguson, Missouri. Radicalizing black men — like the gunman who opened fire on cops in Dallas — is evidently acceptable to Alex Koppelman, because he expects that such radicalism will benefit the Democrat Party. It’s only the possible radicalism of white men that concerns him, for some reason. Nobody at CNN advocates censorship of the anti-white rhetoric of Sarah Jeong or the anti-Jewish rhetoric of Ilhan Omar, but this lone gunman’s massacre in New Zealand inspires CNN to demand a “Big Tech” crackdown on white men.

It’s not paranoia if they really are out to get you.

Rule 5 Sunday: Alita – Battle Angel

Posted on | March 18, 2019 | 2 Comments

“Hats off, gentlemen, a genius”
– Robert Schumann on the young Mozart


We can say the same of Robert Rodriguez, who brought Frank Miller’s Sin City graphic novels to the big screen with an all-star cast, not to mention the highly successful Spy Kids, From Dusk Till Dawn, Machete, and sequels to the preceding. He’s done it again with Battle Angel Alita, a live-action rendition of a two-part anime based on the long-running manga series Gunnm (Gun Dream). Alita has some star talent as well – Christoph Walz plays the surgeon & bounty-hunter Doc Ido, Jennifer Connelly is awesome as his ex-wife Chiren, and Mahershala Ali reminds me very much of Wesley Snipes as he plays the role of Vector, the commissioner of motorball and crime lord. Rosa Salazar has the lead role as the little cyborg girl recovered by Doc Ido from the Scrapheap, and rebuilt using what turns out to be the cyborg body intended for his murdered daughter. It’s a great movie, an improvement on the original anime, and very much worth your time. Here we see Alita just before beginning the motorball match that will make her Final Champion.

Bad Sex Advice for $250 an Hour

Posted on | March 16, 2019 | 1 Comment

 

Becoming a licensed marriage and family therapist in California is so easy that even people who are against marriage can do it, as is the case of “sex-positive” therapist Moushumi Ghose. She has a “private practice specializing in sexuality, alternative relationships and lifestyles including kink, polyamory, gender non-binary, lgbt and more.” Not sure what the “and more” might include, but Ms. Ghose identifies as “queer” and has written at length of her opposition to monogamy, so she is theoretically in favor of anything except normal heterosexual relationships.

Do people practicing “alternative relationships and lifestyles including kink, polyamory,” etc., have much need for licensed therapists? And if so, what goes on in such therapy sessions? Does it involve whips and chains? It is difficult to believe there is much demand for Ms. Ghose’s practice, whatever sort of “therapy” it may involve, because kinky freaks are more or less making up the rules as they go along. How can someone say their “gender non-binary” polyamorous partner has violated the rules or that their “alternative relationship” fails to meet their expectations? Exactly what rules or expectations apply in such a “relationship”?

My point is that, once you decide there are no rules — rejecting all moral standards so that everything is acceptable — it becomes impossible to say that any “relationship” is wrong or harmful, so long as its consensual. Has someone violated your consent? Call the cops, not a therapist. If nothing is ever wrong, then any unhappiness you experience with your non-binary kinky polygamous partner(s) is entirely your problem. What’s the use of seeing a marriage and family therapist in such a situation? She’s going to counsel you and your partner(s) on how to make your basement BDSM dungeon experiences more pleasurable?

As in the case of Cosmopolitan “Sex & Relationships Editor” Carina Hsieh — who is mentally unstable, sexually dysfunctional and infected with herpes — I’m inclined to doubt that Moushumi Ghose has any real expertise that qualifies her to give other people sex advice. Nevertheless, she has a YouTube channel of sex-advice videos with titles like “Drag Queen Life in Israel,” “One Female-to-Male FTM’s Journey to Transition,” and “Why You Should Embrace Your Kink Fetish.”

Moushumi Ghose with Israeli drag queen ‘Moksha.’

What next, “How to Get Laid in the Star Wars Cantina Scene”?

Forgive me for suggesting that the proper therapy for some of these people would involve a straitjacket and heavy doses of Thorazine.

WE NOW INTERRUPT FOR THIS BREAKING NEWS UPDATE:

Houston Public Library is apologizing after a man charged for sexually assaulting a child was allowed to entertain children at Drag Queen storytime.
The library said Friday that a review revealed the volunteer never completed a background check before he was allowed to participate in the program.
Albert Alfonso Garza, 32, was last seen reading to children at the Montrose Library in September 2018.
ABC13 Eyewitness News has learned Garza was charged with child sex assault in 2008. According to records, his victim was a child under the age of 14 years old.
The library said appropriate action is being taken to ensure every participant in every program is verified to ensure similar incidents cannot happen in the future.

Albert Alfonso Garza performs in a Houston gay bar as ‘Tatiana Mala-Niña.’

If there are no rules, then nothing is ever bad or wrong, except perhaps insofar as it is illegal, but as long as you don’t break the law, how are “gender non-binary” polyamorous people supposed to judge the quality of their “alternative relationships and lifestyles”? What standards apply, that would permit Moushumi Ghose to counsel them? What’s her hourly rate? Let’s see, a “single session” is $250, a five-session “Coaching Package” is $1,125, and a six-month “Mentorship Program” is $12,000.

If you’re willing to pay those rates, you’re crazy enough for Thorazine.

Anyway, Professor Reynolds linked to an article by Ms. Ghose that included this sentence: “We must allow men safe spaces to voice their sexual needs and desire so we can understand their own perspectives.”

What should you notice about that sentence? “We.”

Who is “we”? This first-person plural pronoun suggests a group of people who are not currently allowing men to have their “safe spaces.” According to Ms. Ghose, there is some collective “we” who need to “understand” men’s “sexual needs” from “their own perspectives.” Who is “we”?

6 Things We Blame On Men That Are Totally NOT Their Fault
Over the last decade or so feminism has gone mainstream in terms of sex and sexuality, including a huge surge in the production of feminist porn. Global feminism’s 4th wave is off and running, giving women all around the world a voice via the Internet to speak out about everything from rape to sexual harassment to body image (think Dove commercials and SlutWalks).
Women are everywhere these days and sexuality is just one area in which women are joining forces globally to have a voice.
Interestingly, with all of this emphasis placed on empowering women, more and more stigmas and myths around sexuality are being directed towards men. While I don’t believe this movement is taking away men’s voices, I also don’t believe we’re empowering men to understand that they have a role and a voice in the conversations around sexuality as well. . . .

You can read the rest of that article by Ms. Ghose, but the only person she’s actually interested in “empowering” to have a “voice in the conversations around sexuality” is herself (for $250 an hour). In case you didn’t already know it, men have basically been driven out of the field of psychology, where women now get nearly 80% of bachelor’s degrees. Nobody in the field of psychology gives a damn about “men’s voices,” or otherwise they’d be doing something about the rampant anti-male discrimination in academia that has caused this. Especially in terms of “sexuality,” the feminists who now dominate the field of psychology have zero interest in the “sexual needs” of men. Feminism is an anti-male hate movement, and I don’t know why Moushumi Ghose, a self-described “queer” feminist, would pretend to care about males or their “sexual needs” except to drum up business for her $250-an-hour therapy racket.

If any woman is interested in hearing about a man’s “sexual needs,” she can save herself a lot of money by skipping therapy and arranging an appointment at my favorite “safe space,” Benny’s Pub, where I’d be happy to explain everything to her for the price of a few beers. Being “a voice in the conversations around sexuality” is such hard work . . .

God and Women’s Soccer at Yale

Posted on | March 16, 2019 | 1 Comment

 

Rudy Meredith was the coach of women’s soccer at Yale University for 24 years, winning 224 games and the 2005 Ivy League championship. He resigned in November and has pleaded guilty to federal charges:

The biggest school admissions scandal ever prosecuted began with a tip from an executive investigators were targeting in a securities fraud probe, a law enforcement official said Thursday.
The executive told Boston authorities chasing down the market manipulation scheme that the women’s soccer coach at Yale University said he would label the executive’s daughter as a recruit in exchange for cash, the official said. The official was not authorized to discuss the case and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Investigators recorded a meeting between the executive and the coach at a Boston hotel room in April 2018. During the meeting, which is described in court documents, authorities say Rudy Meredith told the father he would help his daughter get into Yale in exchange for $450,000. Meredith accepted $2,000 in cash in the hotel room and gave the executive directions about how to wire the rest of the money, authorities say.
Meredith began cooperating with the investigation that same month in the hopes of getting a lesser sentence, prosecutors say in court documents. Meredith, who resigned from Yale in November, has agreed to plead guilty to charges including wire fraud. . . .
At least nine athletic coaches and 33 parents, many of them prominent in law, finance, fashion, the food and beverage industry and other fields, have been charged in the case. They include Hollywood stars Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin.
Prosecutors said that parents paid an admissions consultant to bribe coaches and administrators to falsely make their children look like star athletes to boost their chances of getting accepted. . . .
The consultant, William “Rick” Singer, pleaded guilty to fraud and conspiracy charges in federal court Tuesday in Boston.

Professor Glenn Reynolds, a Yale Law alumnus, shares an email from Yale President Peter Salovey, calling the scandal “an affront to our community’s deeply held values of fairness, inclusion, and honesty.” Also, Salovey is one of the worst university presidents in America.

It was at Yale, in the early years of the Cold War, that a student named William F. Buckley Jr. observed and described the first signs of decadence in elite education. God and Man at Yale showed how “academic freedom” was employed as an excuse for teaching students values contrary to those for which the university claimed to stand, and contrary also to the values of the alumni who funded Yale. The faculty and administration were able to fend off the challenge to “academic freedom,” in part by smearing Buckley as a fascist and in part by pretending to take his criticisms seriously while, in fact, doing nothing to prevent further subversion. Thus, the moral decay at Yale and other elite schools continued to grow steadily worse until the 1960s, when Ivy League campuses erupted in radical protests and cowardly administrators surrendered to the student radicals. And eventually, the former student radicals became professors themselves.

No well-informed Christian parent nowadays would wish his child to attend Yale, where both the faculty and student body are composed almost entirely of atheists, sexual perverts and Democrats:

Data from Federal Election Commission filings demonstrate that a vast majority of 2018 campaign contributions made by Yale faculty members went to Democratic campaigns and political action committees.
The News analyzed this year’s donations from University employees who are listed as professors, lecturers and instructors based on public data from the FEC. Since Jan. 1, Yale professors, lecturers and instructors have donated $302,943 to political candidates, political action committees, super PACs and nonprofit organizations. 96 percent of these donations went to Democratic political campaigns and committees.

There are few places in America where you’re less likely to find a Republican than on the Yale University faculty. In Cook County, Illinois, which includes Chicago, Hillary Clinton got only 75% of the vote, and even in San Francisco she got only 86% of the vote, yet Democrats receive nearly 100% support from Yale’s faculty. Given this fact, is anyone actually surprised that Yale is a festering swamp of corruption, where coaches solicit bribes to lie about applicants’ qualifications?

The Long Shadow of Bushism

Posted on | March 16, 2019 | 1 Comment

 

Well, of course:

Former 2016 Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush said he thinks a Republican should challenge President Donald Trump in next year’s election, arguing the party “ought to be a given a choice.”
“I think someone should run. Just because Republicans ought to be given a choice,” said Bush, who also served as the governor of Florida, in an interview with David Axelrod that will air Saturday on “The Axe Files.” He added that beating Trump in 2020 will be difficult for anyone because “he has a strong, loyal base” and “it’s hard to beat a sitting president.”
“But to have a conversation about what it is to be a conservative I think is important,” he added. “And our country needs to have competing ideologies that people — that are dynamic, that focus on the world we’re in and the world we’re moving towards rather than revert back to a nostalgic time.”

A return to Bushism is the real goal of the #NeverTrump crowd. They are Bush loyalists who simply cannot stand the idea that someone could win the Republican nomination without their approval. Jeb’s desire to have people question “what it is to be a conservative” signifies his own belief that an open-borders/pro-amnesty policy is “conservative.”

Bush represents the wing of the GOP that wants an American equivalent of Angela Merkel’s government in Germany, and they consider it morally wrong — racist! — to oppose unlimited immigration. They are “conservatives” who don’t conserve anything, except their own prestige.
