Steven Crowder Confronts Transgender ‘Antifa’ Radical in Austin, Texas: VIDEO

Posted on | July 11, 2018 | Comments Off on Steven Crowder Confronts Transgender ‘Antifa’ Radical in Austin, Texas: VIDEO

Celine Camille Zinante has apparently undergone sex-change treatment to become “Cameron” Zinante and may be associated with a Communist “antifa” group called the Revolutionary Student Front. Zinante was working at a Juiceland franchise in Austin and, also, threatening violence against popular conservative personality Steven Crowder. This inspired Crowder to take a trip to Austin for a surprise visit with Zinante:

Notice that the video blurs identifying information about this person who, among other things, claims responsibility for defacing a statue of Robert E. Lee on the University of Texas campus. It would be a very bad thing if anyone were to threaten violence against “Cameron” Zinante.

It appears that she/“he” has deleted all her/“his” online accounts and, since Crowder provided police with evidence of her/“his” criminal threats, perhaps she/“he” is now trying to keep a low profile. That would be the first smart thing she/“he” has done in a while.

Hey, kids: Don’t be a transgender Commie.

Also, never threaten Steven Crowder.

Queer Feminist Update

Posted on | July 11, 2018 | Comments Off on Queer Feminist Update

Some readers may remember Ellie (a/k/a “Gabi,” whose real name is Gabrielle), the Tampa art student whose anti-heterosexual Tumblr rant was featured here in February (“Your Homophobia Is a ‘Direct Threat’ of ‘Potential Violence,’ Says Queer Feminist”). At the time, Ellie identified as “queer” and “nonbinary” and used “they/them” pronouns. When posting selfies on her Tumblr blog, she called herself “a sexy pink genderless fat orb.” Ellie is “severely mentally ill,” and claims to have “been professionally diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, bipolar type II, and PTSD.” She is into comics, “body positivity, mental health awareness . . . astrology” and, of course, “intersectional feminism.”

This is 21st-century feminism — an anti-heterosexual radical ideology in which hating men is the sine qua non of “liberation” and “female agency.”

And guess what else is counted as “female agency”? Transgenderism!

“I’m a trans guy. . . . I’m looking to get top surgery. I’m looking to get on testosterone. I’m looking to change my wardrobe, change how I am perceived in the world.”

Yes, “top surgery” (i.e., radical mastectomy) and synthetic hormone injections are what the 22-year-old queer feminist has decided are necessary for her “liberation” and, uh, “body positivity.” She (or “he”) has started a tag on her/“his” Tumblr blog to discuss her transition into “him,” and is considering calling herself/“himself” “Gabriel.”

Is it necessary for me to explain to parents that if your teenage daughter starts calling herself a feminist, you should consider this symptomatic of mental illness? Especially if she has a Tumblr account? And she dyes her hair pink, gets her nose pierced and wears a dog collar?

Perhaps not every young feminist has pink hair and three different psychiatric diagnoses, but on Tumblr? Yeah, that’s what feminism is. You should keep your daughter far away from it, or one day your daughter will declare she’s “nonbinary,” and then maybe she’ll be transgender, and on and on until she’s nothing but a sad joke of toxic craziness.

* * * * *

Permit me now to get serious, which I don’t enjoy doing, since caustic sarcasm is my preferred mode of expression when dealing with tragedy.

In case Gabrielle or someone who actually knows her and cares about her is reading this, she needs help. Her problem is spiritual.

Notice where she said she was into astrology? That’s a huge red flag. Astrology is an evil influence. Combine that with her gender/sexuality issues and her suicidal ideation, and you can make a case that Gabrielle is a victim of diabolical obsession. An Exorcist Explains the Demonic, by Father Gabriele Amorth, offers this explanation:

Diabolical obsessions are disturbances or extremely strong hallucinations that the demon imposes, often invincibly, on the mind of the victim. In these cases, the person is no longer a master of his own thoughts. . . . The objects of these hallucinations can be manifested as visions, as voices . . . as monstrous figures, horrifying animals, or devils. In other cases it can be an impulse to commit suicide or to do evil to others and, particularly in the young, it can lead to confusion about one’s gender.

If you examine Gabrielle’s art, you’ll find it is disturbing in nature. Sometimes it’s “cute,” but in a weird and childish way. Furthermore, Gabrielle’s “friends” — both in real life and online — are evil influences, encouraging her self-destructive attitudes. This is a pattern of behavior, which I have seen before. A person who feels in some way damaged and unlovable, is attracted to a subculture full of freaks and weirdos, where she can be seen as relatively more attractive by comparison.

Gabrielle’s history of eating disorders and self-harm, her feelings of loneliness — a misfit, an outcast — make her particularly vulnerable to demonic influence. You can laugh at this possibility, if you wish, but I’m telling you in all seriousness, demonic influences are real.

As I say, I’ve seen this pattern before. Not to get too specific, but I once knew a young lesbian who, as it turned out, wasn’t actually a lesbian. She’d gotten a bad reputation in high school because of her promiscuity. When she got to college, she somehow fell in with a crew of lesbians. She had a girlfriend who followed her around like a looming shadow. You couldn’t even talk to her if her girlfriend was around, but she didn’t seem to notice (or else didn’t mind) how this dark presence affected her life. Because I don’t want to get too specific (for fear of compromising her identity), I won’t relate the circumstances by which she eventually made her escape, but trust me when I say that the pattern of Gabrielle’s life strikes me as very familiar. Over the years, I’ve seen all kinds of people go down similar paths of self-destruction, because they started hanging around losers who dragged them down. Beware — evil is real.

Democrats Use Kavanaugh Nomination in Congressional Fundraising Efforts

Posted on | July 11, 2018 | 1 Comment

Many years ago, I checked a box on a website to get email updates from the Democrats and, of course, they sell their email lists, which means that my email inbox is filled up with liberal fundraising appeals, like this one from North Carolina congressional candidate David Brown:

Hi Robert,
Donald Trump just announced that he will nominate Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. This nomination is a calculated political decision which will have a deeply negative effect on the lives of working people for decades to come if Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed.
Brett Kavanaugh’s record has made it clear he will use his position on the court to protect corporations at the expense of workers, to allow wealthy donors to buy elections and to further dismantle voting rights. The fact that Donald Trump stated repeatedly during the campaign that any nominee of his would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, I have no doubt that is exactly what Brett Kavanaugh will do.
Simply put, nothing is more important now than doing everything in our power to elect me as your Congressman to put laws into place to protect the most vulnerable before Kavanaugh and the other conservative justices strip all the protections and rights away from us while standing on the Constitution.
Donate $5, $10 or more to help elect a community-centered leader to Congress.
Together we must do everything we can to win back the House, the Senate and the presidency to stop further disastrous nominees. But right now, we work to elect true representatives of the 10th district who will work every day to build our communities up and protect the people who live in them.
Join me on a better road forward.
–David

Brown is running against GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry in North Carolina’s 10th District, in the Appalachian hills west of Charlotte. In 2016, McHenry easily won re-election with 63% of the vote, and Trump carried some counties in that district with more than 70% of the vote. It isn’t likely Brown can actually win NC-10, but you could kick a few bucks toward McHenry’s re-election campaign by clicking here.

Maybe you should also give a contribution to the National Republican Congressional Committee, which is fighting in districts all across the country to stop Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in November. During the Tea Party years of 2009-2010, this blog helped raise lots of money for conservative candidates, and with Pelosi now desperate to take back the speaker’s gavel, I guess it’s time to we went back to campaign mode.

Rhetorical Escalation

Posted on | July 11, 2018 | 1 Comment

After President Trump announced Brett Kavanaugh as his nominee to the Supreme Court on Monday, Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) spent all day Tuesday engaged in a competition to demonize Kavanaugh. If you believe what Democrats tell you, Kavanaugh is the most extreme extremist in the history of extremism. How extreme is he? Extremely extreme! He’s not just a right-winger, he’s “far-right.” How far? Extremely far! He’s so extremely far right as to “threaten the lives of millions of Americans for decades,” to quote Clinton crony and former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe. (Hat-tip: Hogewash.)

The reader who isn’t tuned into the CNN/MSNBC/Democrat hysteria may wonder, how does a federal judge threaten millions of lives? On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Chuck Schumer said: “I will oppose this nomination with everything I’ve got. . . . This man should not be on the bench. . . . I believe he is far, far right on so many issues.” Schumer repeatedly asserted that the Kavanaugh nomination is somehow a threat to ObamaCare. Exactly how the Supreme Court affects healthcare legislation, Schumer didn’t specify, but he said that coverage for “pre-existing conditions,” which he described as “very popular” with the Democrat Party’s base, would be jeopardized if Kavanaugh is confirmed.

Because I don’t pay much attention to the paranoid fears of Democrats, it’s possible that Schumer is actually right about this. For all I know, there are cases pending in lower courts challenging elements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) which Democrats rammed through Congress on a party-line vote just a few months before they lost their majority in the 2010 midterm elections. The ACA’s mandate of coverage for “pre-existing conditions” was one of the worst job-killers in the bill. Requiring employers to provide insurance that covered whatever health problems the employee might have had before being hired meant that a lot of people simply couldn’t get hired, and this measure also sent health insurance rates skyrocketing, as insurers sought to compensate for the (often very expensive) treatments they were now required to cover.

One reason the economy started booming — and unemployment started declining — as soon as Trump was elected was that he promised to repeal ObamaCare and, by executive action, was able to limit the job-killing impact of this badly constructed legislation. If somehow the Supreme Court could render the entirety of ObamaCare null and void, good, although as I say, I’m not aware that this is likely, or even possible.

Employer-provided health insurance is a benefit, and not a “right.” Does saying this make me an extremely extreme extremist? Maybe, by Chuck Schumer’s standards, but do we want to permit the leaders of the Democrat Party to set the limits of acceptable political beliefs? Do we want to make “pre-existing conditions” such a burden on employers that it drives up unemployment because millions of people can’t get hired?

Ask yourself why this “pre-existing conditions” aspect of ObamaCare is, as Schumer says, so popular with the Democrats’ base. What “conditions” are so prevalent among Democrats that they don’t care about the harmful economic impact of imposing this mandate on employers?

My extremely extremist readers are free to speculate on this subject, and I won’t specify my own far-right suspicions, except to point out that behavioral problems (e.g., promiscuous anal intercourse) sometimes cause medical problems (e.g., HIV infections). It’s homophobia to mention this, and it’s transphobia if you suspect that Democrats want to make gender dysphoria one of the “pre-existing conditions” that employers must cover, so everybody pays higher insurance rates to provide some people with free hormones and sex-change surgery.

There were reasons, you see, why Democrats rammed ObamaCare through Congress without permitting debate. There was a reason why Nancy Pelosi (whose constituents have a lot of pre-existing conditions) said “we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what’s in it.”

“Free” methadone for heroin addicts! “Free” gastric bypass surgery for fat people! “Free” psychotherapy for neurotics! Everything must be “free” —free! free! free! — and employers must be required to provide insurance coverage for all these “pre-existing conditions.” That was the basic idea of ObamaCare, a piñata full of “free” benefits for every hypochondriac and malingerer in America, and if you’re concerned about the impact on the economy, this makes you a right-wing extremist, according to Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and their Democrat buddies.

Democrats don’t want to talk about the costs — in terms of taxes and lost jobs — of all the “free” stuff they give their constituents, and so they engage in rhetorical escalation, accusing their opponents of racism, sexism, homophobia and other kinds of “extremism.” This is true not only of healthcare, but of every issue, from immigration to education. Whenever common-sense suggests Democrats are wrong, they come up with some new way to label common sense “extremism.”

If Americans ever wake up and smell the aroma of bovine excrement exuded by Democrat rhetoric, Chuck Schumer will be out of a job. Compulsive dishonesty is a pre-existing condition for Democrats.

The Confirmation Circus Begins

Posted on | July 10, 2018 | 2 Comments

President Trump has announced Brett Kavanaugh as his choice to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court, and the political circus of confirmation now begins, a public spectacle coordinated by the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself). Kavanaugh is “a politically connected member of Washington’s conservative legal establishment,” the New York Times declares in the lead paragraph of its front-page story today, a sort of sigh of relief.

Democrats had greatly feared (and conservatives had hoped) that Trump would choose Amy Coney Barrett, whose pro-life views — she’s a Catholic mother of seven — would have forced Democrats into a battle to defend Roe v. Wade. An open public fight over abortion, with a Catholic mom facing off against Democrat senators, would have been the kind of “wedge” move that conservative strategists like Steve Bannon or Newt Gingrich might relish — excellent optics, as they say, reminiscent of the Clarence Thomas hearings, where a black conservative faced a “high-tech lynching” by Democrats in a confrontation that galvanized the Right.

David French mourns Trump’s failure to choose Barrett, and I suppose many other conservatives will second-guess Trump’s decision to go with Kavanaugh, an “establishment” pick, a “safe choice,” the kind of choice “any Republican president would have nominated,” as French says.

Maybe if French hadn’t cast his lot with the #NeverTrump brigades during the 2016 primary campaign, he would have been able to influence the President’s choice, but hindsight is 20/20, and we can’t let ourselves get bogged down in the wishful thinking of “what if” scenarios.

You go to war with the army you’ve got, and you have to fight the fight you’re in, rather than bemoaning the tactical situation. Despite the “establishment” nature of Trump’s choice — Kavanaugh is a former clerk of Justice Kennedy, and we are unlikely to be blindsided with any shocking revelations in his confirmation hearings — the liberal media are ginning up their predictable demonization campaign.

“Brett Kavanaugh, Trump’s Supreme Court Pick, Is Probably the End of Abortion Rights and Same-Sex Marriage,” the Daily Beast declares, labeling the nominee “a hard-core conservative” to whom they attribute opinions perhaps as extreme as my own. The Daily Beast story is nothing but liberal clickbait, of course — political pornography, irresistible to the typical MSNBC viewer who has been in a helpless condition of Fear and Loathing ever since Nov. 8, 2016. This kind of fear-mongering clickbait is entirely speculative, based on the writer’s creative guesswork about how Kavanaugh (and at least four other justices) would rule on imaginary cases that do not yet actually exist, but which might theoretically be appealed to the nation’s highest court in the future, thereby resulting in the reversal of previous rulings.

Such reversals are extraordinarily rare, of course, and exactly how these imaginary cases would make it all the way to the Supreme Court, the media’s liberal fear-mongers do not bother to specify. What they know is that it was the Supreme Court, and not the elected members of Congress, who created the “right” to abortion in 1973. Similarly, it was not Congress but the court which manufactured the “right” to same-sex marriage, and imposed it nationwide over the explicit opposition of voters in more than 30 states which had expressly prohibited such recognition by passing state constitutional amendments. Because this top-down imposition of “rights” bypassed and negated the normal electoral and legislative processes, liberals rightly fear that a backlash could develop sufficient force to reverse these exercises of centralized elite authority.

As much as I might relish the fulfillment of every liberal’s worst nightmares — Oklahoma state troopers being dispatched to shut down the only abortion clinic in Tulsa, while Cecile Richards weeps helplessly on MSNBC — it’s probably never going to happen, but that won’t stop Senate Democrats from conjuring up spectral fears in Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings. Democrats are obliged to carry on the disgraceful legacy of Ted Kennedy, who led the campaign of character assassination against Clarence Thomas in 1991, as he had previously done against Judge Robert Bork in 1987:

“Robert Bork’s America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens’ doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of the Government, and the doors of the Federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens.”

It is seldom now remembered, and Americans under 40 have probably never learned, how we reached our current political climate. There was a time when federal court nominations weren’t a 24/7 circus of televised punditry and Judiciary Committee theatrics. But the collapse of the New Deal liberal consensus in the 1960s, during LBJ’s catastrophic tenure in the White House, eventually led to Ronald Reagan’s landslide election in 1980. After Reagan was re-elected in a second landslide, the Democrats who controlled Congress began resorting to increasingly desperate measures to thwart the conservative mood of the electorate. Ted Kennedy wasn’t just trying to stop the confirmation of Bork and Thomas, nor was he merely opposing the Reagan and Bush administrations, rather the senator from Massachusetts was fighting against the American people.

Ted Kennedy was a profoundly dishonest man, whose shameful career left a permanent stain on the Senate and on his party. It was he who bequeathed to us this inheritance of evil, which such immoral monsters as Chuck Schumer are proud to continue. Let us pray that Schumer and his Democrat colleagues go “fully Teddy” against Judge Kavanaugh, and that the American people will reject their hateful lies. Selah.
