The Miracle of Saint Nancy

Posted on | December 12, 2018 | Comments Off on The Miracle of Saint Nancy

 

After she and Chuck Schumer got into a televised Oval Office argument with President Trump about the border wall — remember, she called the wall “immoral” — the new House speaker dissed the president in a private meeting with congressional Democrats:

Trump “must have said the word ‘wall’ 30 times,” the California Democrat said, according to multiple sources in the room.
“I was trying to be the mom,” she added, but “it goes to show you: you get into a tinkle contest with a skunk, you get tinkle all over you.” . . .
“It’s like a manhood thing with him — as if manhood can be associated with him,” she deadpanned. “This wall thing.”…
“The press is all there! Chuck is really shouting out. I was trying to be the mom. I can’t explain it to you. It was so wild,” she said, later adding: “But the fact is we did get him to say, to fully own that the shutdown was his. That was an accomplishment.” . . .
The entire thing baffled Pelosi. It’s a “cultural phenomenon,” Pelosi told her colleagues, that “the fate of our country [is] in the hands of this person.”

We will now have to endure at least two years of this woman leading the country into dysfunctional legislative gridlock. If nothing else, perhaps seeing her in the news every day will help cure Americans of whatever respect they still have for the Democrat Party.

Pro-Choice Activist of the Year

Posted on | December 11, 2018 | 1 Comment

 

Close the nominations. I think we have a winner:

An Indiana high school football player told investigators that he killed a 17-year-old schoolmate because he was angry that she waited so long to tell him she was pregnant with his child that it was too late to get an abortion, authorities said Monday.
Aaron Trejo, 16, was charged as an adult with murder in the Sunday killing of Breana Rouhselang and the fetus. He was arrested Sunday, scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday and had no attorney on record.
In a court filing supporting the charges, prosecutors say Trejo told police that he stabbed Rouhselang during a fight over her pregnancy and that he put her body in a restaurant dumpster in their hometown of Mishawaka, which is next to South Bend and about 80 miles (130 kilometers) east of Chicago. . . .
Trejo told investigators he had been planning the killing for about a week and hadn’t told anyone.
Rouhselang, who was a manager of the Mishawaka High School football team, was last seen at her home at around 11 p.m. Saturday. Her family called police about 4:30 a.m. Sunday after they “got the feeling that something wasn’t right,” said Lt. Alex Arendt of the St. Joseph County Metro Homicide Unit.

This boy might be eligible a Planned Parenthood grant, except for the fact that he’s probably going to prison for a long time.

Grandfather’s Transgender Lover Charged With Murdering 1-Year-Old Girl in Texas

Posted on | December 11, 2018 | Comments Off on Grandfather’s Transgender Lover Charged With Murdering 1-Year-Old Girl in Texas

Shawn Vincent Boniello, 30, is charged with murdering Annie Rader.

Police in Rockdale, Texas, say 20-month-old Patricia Ann Rader was beaten and crushed to death Dec. 3, and “an autopsy showed the girl had extensive internal injuries and broken bones throughout her body.” Police were called to a trailer park where the girl, known as “Annie” to her family, had been living with her grandfather, described as “her primary caregiver.” Evidently, there were problems with Annie’s parents, Brianna Matthews and Michael Rader. “The family had prior interactions with [Child Protective Services], and Patricia was previously in [Texas Department of Family and Protective Services] care for a brief time,” a spokeswoman told the Temple Daily Telegram. Annie’s 46-year-old grandfather, however, was at work the night of Dec. 3, and Annie was left in the care of his 30-year-old live-in “girlfriend,” Shawn Vincent Boniello, who “reportedly is transitioning from a man to a woman”:

Boniello moved to Rockdale from New Mexico after Annie’s grandfather met her on the internet. [Annie’s uncle Thomas] Bond tried to look up the name she gave them, but he couldn’t find any information about her anywhere, he said.
“I just knew something wasn’t right,” he said.
It wasn’t until Annie was dead that Bond found out Boniello’s real name and that Boniello wasn’t a woman. Bond said it “blew his mind,” and no one in the family but Annie’s grandfather knew she was not a woman.

The accused murderer, you see, was living as a “woman” in this small town (population 5,851) under a female pseudonym, which was why Annie’s uncle “couldn’t find any information” about the drug addict that Grandpa had met via the Internet. Did I mention the drugs?

Records state that police also found and seized marijuana and pipes next to the bed where the victim’s body was found. At the police department, police said Boniello admitted to smoking the marijuana in the residence while the child was there.

The breakdown of our nation’s social fabric is not limited to America’s inner-city ghettos. In a small town in Texas, child services placed an infant girl in the custody of her grandfather, who lived in a trailer park and had apparently been trawling the Internet for transvestites. So this dope-smoking tranny was left in charge of the toddler and, allegedly, crushed her tiny body to death. “I just knew something wasn’t right.”

Yes, sir. Something sure wasn’t right.

Macron Deploys E.U. Army in Paris?

Posted on | December 10, 2018 | Comments Off on Macron Deploys E.U. Army in Paris?

 

If you’re trying to quell a populist uprising against the globalist elite, this is probably not your smartest move:

A strange sighting in France has the internet abuzz over whether the Macron administration deployed armored vehicles bearing the EU flag to perform riot control during Saturday’s Yellow Vest protests, stoking concerns over whether it’s the first sign of a much talked about EU Army.

“rather than bearing the French Tricolore flag, the vehicles bore the distinct starred EU flag, which critics have said is a sign an EU Army is drawing closer to existence” — Daily Star . . .

The notion of an EU Army is not new — as both French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have both floated the idea.

In November, Merkel said “The days where we can unconditionally rely on others are gone,” adding “We should work on a vision to create a real European army one day.” 

Stressing that such an army would not be “against NATO” but complement it, the chancellor also proposed a European Security Council with rotating seats for member states that would make speedy foreign policy decisions without the need for unanimity. — New York Times

In early November, Macron told France’s Europe 1 Radio that Europeans cannot be protected without a “true, European army.” 

Yeah, Paris is burning, but we must save the planet!

In launching their now successful protests against President Emmanuel Macron’s gas hike, the French gilets jaunes (yellow jackets) have revived their country’s reputation for rebelling against monarchial rule. It may well foreshadow a bitter, albeit largely avoidable, battle over how to address the issue of climate change. . . .
Macron’s policies rest on the notion on-going climate catastrophe embraced by media, the academy and the intelligentsia. Every time weather takes a nasty turn as it often does — heat waves, downpours, forest fires, floods — it’s often attributed to climate change. . . .
The gilets jaune revolt begs the issue: who pays to save the planet? The Paris accords absolved the very countries driving emission increases — China and India — from mandating emissions cuts until 2030, leaving the burden largely on the backs of the West’s own middle and working classes.
Yet many of these people need fossil fuels to get to work or operate their businesses. Tourists may gape at the high-speed trains and the Paris Metro, but the vast majority get to work in cars. More than 80 percent of the Paris metropolitan area population lives in the suburbs and exurbs, in an area nearly the size of Connecticut and Rhode Island combined.

The global elite want to compel ordinary people to pay for this radical environmental agenda. Aux armes, citoyens!

Rule 5 Sunday: Babe In Toyland

Posted on | December 10, 2018 | 1 Comment

— compiled by Wombat-socho

Today I learned that one of my favorite Christmas movies, Laurel & Hardy’s Babes In Toyland, had been remade in 1961 with Ray Bolger, Annette Funicello, and Tommy Sands…and again in 1986 with Keanu Reeves (!) and Drew Barrymore, though the last one sounds like the scriptwriter got the plot confused with A Christmas Carol and possibly Peter Pan, though I haven’t watched it so I can’t be sure. Anyhow, we’ve never had the famous former Mouseketeer here before, so here she is from Muscle Beach Party, one of a bunch of silly surfing comedies from the sixties.

Apparently Disney was none too pleased with their former child star exposing her navel on the big screen.

First out of the box this week is Ninety Miles From Tyranny with Hot Pick of the Late Night,The 90 Miles Mystery Box Episode #461, Morning Mistress, and Girls With Guns. Next, it’s Animal Magnetism with Rule Five Electoral Reform Friday and the Saturday Gingermageddon.

EBL’s udderly wonderful links include Constance Wu, Happy Hanukkah, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”, Jessica From Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, NASA Wants An All-Female Crew For Mars Mission, Not So Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 2, and Vintage Hollywood Christmas.

Career Criminal Arrested for Kidnapping, Rape, Murder of N.C. Girl, 13

Posted on | December 9, 2018 | Comments Off on Career Criminal Arrested for Kidnapping, Rape, Murder of N.C. Girl, 13

 

On June 6, Michael Ray McLellan was paroled from prison after serving time for charges of felony breaking and entering and larceny of a motor vehicle. He had previously served time for assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill:

Michael Ray McLellan forced his way into 21-year-old Teena Lewis’ home at gunpoint before beating her and then shooting her, according to [Fairmont, N.C.] police Sgt. Patrick Reed.
Chief Robert Hassell said Lewis was punched several times, shot twice in the torso and once in the leg. . . .
Police say Lewis’ 2-year-old daughter watched as her mother was assaulted.

That was in 2009, and not long after his June release from prison, police say, McLellan attempted to carjack a woman:

McLellan is accused of attacking a woman outside of her home on Pittman Street in the Fairmont neighborhood of Robeson County, Fairmont Police Chief Jon Edwards told the news station. The incident occurred on October 15. Police said McLellan approached a woman wearing dark clothing with a mask on his face and pointed a gun at the victim. He then tried to take her car and asked her for money, according to police. He then left the scene without hurting the woman, police said. 

McLellan was arrested on that charge Nov. 13, but by then, it was too late to save Hania Aguilar, an eighth-grader at Lumberton Junior High School. On the morning of Nov. 5, Hania went outside her home in the Rosewood Mobile Home Park and started the family’s SUV, then was standing in the driveway when a man approached: “A witness heard the girl scream and saw a man wearing black clothes and a yellow bandana force her into the SUV and drive away, police said.”

For the next three weeks, law enforcement searched for Hania. On Nov. 7, the FBI offered a $15,000 reward for information and released video of the stolen SUV seen driving through Lumberton moments after the kidnapping. On Nov. 8, the SUV was found abandoned and the FBI released surveillance video showing a man walking near the site of Hania’s abduction. But it was not until Nov. 28 that police found Hania’s body about 10 miles from her home “in a body of water.” DNA evidence apparently matched McLellan, who was already in jail on charges related to the Oct. 15 carjacking attempt. McLellan is charged with:

  • First degree murder
  • First degree forcible rape
  • Statutory rape of a person under 15 years of age or younger
  • First degree sexual offense
  • Statutory sex offense with a person 15 years or younger
  • First degree kidnapping
  • Felony larceny
  • Felony restraint
  • Abduction of child
  • Concealment of a death

Keep in mind that McLellan had already served time for shooting a woman three times, and had been paroled from prison on another felony just five months before he kidnapped Hania. Why did they ever let this career criminal out on the streets?
