No Republicans Allowed: Restaurant Owner Ejects WH Spokeswoman

Posted on | June 24, 2018 | 2 Comments

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was asked to leave a Virginia restaurant where Republican customers are not welcome:

Stephanie Wilkinson, co-owner of The Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Va., told The Washington Post on Saturday that Sanders’s support of President Trump’s desire to ban transgender people from the military, in particular, was antithetical to her beliefs.
The restaurant employs several LGBT employees, Wilkinson said, some of whom voiced concerns over serving Sanders because of her previous comments defending Trump’s proposed ban.
“I’m not a huge fan of confrontation,” Wilkinson added. “I have a business, and I want the business to thrive. This feels like the moment in our democracy when people have to make uncomfortable actions and decisions to uphold their morals.”
Wilkinson told the Post Sanders worked in an administration that is “inhumane and unethical.”
She added that the Trump administration’s policy of separating migrant families who are apprehended illegally entering the U.S. also contributed to her staff’s concerns. . . .
“Tell me what you want me to do. I can ask her to leave,” Wilkinson said she told her staff. “They said yes.”

Ms. Wilkinson is a Democrat who hates Republicans so much that she does not want to serve any Republican customers. Could I offer an intelligent discussion of the Trump administration policies that Ms. Wilkinson criticized? Yes, but you cannot argue with hate. No amount of facts or logic can persuade someone like Ms. Wilkinson, whose beliefs are based in an irrational prejudice. She hates all Republicans, and there is no point wasting your time by arguing with partisan fanatics.

A basic principle of courtesy is that one should never go where one is unwelcome. This is why, for example, I have never participated in any kind of “counter-protest,” although I’ve covered quite a few during my journalism career. When the Revolutionary Communist Party held a protest at the 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland, I was there with my camera and notebook, but I certainly did not argue with that ranting mob of anti-American extremists.

Sometimes, courtesy is just smart business. If I had told those Commies what I really thought of them (i.e., “the only good Communist,” etc.), this might have interfered with my ability to get the story, and perhaps endangered my personal safety. So I just kept my mouth shut and did the job I was there to do. And this has been my practice at all manner of events. Covering Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail in 2008, for example, I was unctuously polite to her staff, and even met Chelsea Clinton, who struck me as very nice young lady.

If a right-winger like me can be courteous to Communists and Democrats, why can’t Ms. Wilkinson be courteous to Republicans?

Like all Americans, Ms. Wilkinson and her employees at the Red Hen restaurant are entitled to their opinions on matters of public policy, but her rudeness toward Republicans is not smart business. Lexington, Virginia, is in Rockbridge County, which voted 62% for Trump in 2016. Lexington is also home to Virginia Military Institute, where the corps of cadets are legendary for their patriotic courage. For a restaurant owner in Lexington to insult the President of the United States, by refusing service to a member of the White House staff, is not likely to help Ms. Wilkinson’s business, to say the least. Would I want any of the 6,671 Rockbridge County residents who voted for President Trump to protest the Red Hen, or to say mean things to Ms. Wilkinson or her staff? No, of course not. Such behavior is rude, and also unnecessary.

Because a courteous person would never go where he is unwelcome, and because Republicans are unwelcome at the Red Hen restaurant, the polite thing for Republicans to do is to avoid Ms. Wilkinson’s establishment. Fortunately for Republicans in Rockbridge County, downtown Lexington offers many other excellent dining choices, including Niko’s Grille, Salerno Pizzeria and the Southern Inn. No courteous Republican would ever protest at the Red Hen, for the simple reason that no Republican should ever go near the Red Hen, where the owners and staff hate Republicans so much they would not serve dinner to Sarah Sanders.

Also, courtesy would solve both of the policy issues Ms. Wilkinson mentioned in justifying her “no Republicans allowed” attitude. If the U.S. military does not want transgender troops in its ranks, a courteous transgender person would simply not volunteer for the military, and if the United States doesn’t want foreigners to cross its borders without legal permission, no courteous person would be an illegal alien.

Good manners solve many problems in life, and let’s hope courtesy will soon solve the problem of Ms. Wilkinson’s anti-Republican restaurant.

Media Publishes SJW Lies About Violent Transgender Psycho’s Public Suicide

Posted on | June 23, 2018 | 1 Comment

BEFORE: John Paul Neumann (left); AFTER: ‘Chloe Sagal’ (right).

Just a quick follow-up on the suicide of John Paul Neumann, a/k/a “Chloe Sagal,” who lit himself/“herself” on fire Tuesday in a public park in downtown Portland, Oregon. Recall that Neumann/“Sagal,” a freelance videogame developer, had already wrecked his/“her” personal finances by trying to launch a startup that went bust before the 2013 incident in which Neumann/“Sagal” falsely claimed to be the victim of an auto accident in order to scam money for sex-change surgery on IndieGoGo. A reporter named Allistair Pinsof was fired from his job, and blacklisted by fellow videogame journalists, because he reported the truth about Neumann’s/“Sagal’s” scam. This was one of the scandals that preceded the 2014 #GamerGate controversy, and showed how so-called “social justice warriors” (SJWs) were helping distort coverage of the videogame industry. What the SJWs did, you see, was to portray Neumann/“Sagal” as a victim of “transphobia,” and to accuse Pinsof of “harassment” simply for telling the truth about a fraudulent misuse of online fundraising by a member of the game-development community.

“Chloe Sagal” was not a victim of wrongdoing, he/“she” was a perpetrator, and the SJWs can’t erase that truth, although they have spent the past five years trying to do so, by demonizing the people who blew the whistle on a deranged liar’s shabby scam. You cannot excuse what Neumann/“Sagal” did by saying he/“she” was mentally ill and therefore not responsible for his/“her” actions, because that might then encourage other crazy people to imitate his/“her” wrongdoing.

Crazy People Are Dangerous, as I keep saying, and we aren’t “helping” the mentally ill by pretending that someone who created an elaborate online fraud didn’t know that what they were doing was wrong. Still less are we “helping” crazy people by claiming that anybody who calls attention to their craziness is engaged in “harassment.”

Suppose, for example, that your neighbor is going through a stressful situation — he lost his job, his wife left him, whatever. One day you drop in to check on him, and find him snorting meth and jabbering incoherently about the Bavarian Illuminati. Is it wrong to call 911? No, and what happens if you find out this person has created an online fundraiser telling people he needs money to help orphans in Uganda, but he’s actually spending the proceeds to supply his meth habit? Are you guilty of “harassment” if you warn people not to donate? No.

That, in a nutshell, is what’s wrong with the way SJWs tried to depict Neumann/“Sagal” as a victim and smear Pinsof for “transphobia.” You might think that the suicide of Neumann/“Sagal” would cause people to stop trying to exploit his/“her” story as a “social justice” narrative, but there is no bottom limit to how low SJWs will go. They started emailing the reporter for the Oregonian who reported on Tuesday’s suicide, and she followed up with a story reflecting the SJW victimhood narrative:

Sagal was a game developer and artist who struggled with mental illness for many years. Her friends say she loved dogs, forged authentic weapons and made haunting music when she was able to. They say she was proud of her Romani heritage and an active socialist.
They also say she was the target of an online bullying campaign that derailed her. . . .

(No, damn it, Neumann/“Sagal” was clearly “derailed” long before 2013, and how many people of “Romani heritage” are named “Neumann”?)

And in 2013, Sagal, a transgender woman, became the target of hate mob Kiwi Farms, an online group New Yorker magazine described as “the web’s biggest community of stalkers” that “specializes in harassing people they perceive as being mentally ill or sexually deviant in some way.”

(Look, there are untold millions of mentally ill and/or sexually deviant people who never get noticed on Kiwi Farms, which only pays attention to people whose online behavior makes them a nuisance. There must be a demonstrable pattern of such behavior for someone to gain notoriety as a “Lolcow” in the KF discussion forums, which have in some cases done valuable work in helping expose sexual predators online. To dismiss KF as a “hate mob,” in order to depict Neumann/“Sagal” as a victim, is just dishonest.)

The harassment began after it was revealed a crowdfunding campaign to raise money for Sagal to deal with metal poisoning was actually raising money for her gender surgery.
Friends say Kiwi Farms followers harassed her on a variety of platforms.

(Telling the truth is “harassment”? Welcome to 2018. Words mean nothing.)

A friend who chose not to give his name, fearing repercussions from Kiwi Farms, said her livelihood and mental stability were destroyed by the attacks.
Suicide, said Sagal’s friend Jasmine Barlow, “was constantly on her mind. She even attempted once live on streaming video. It was a constant shadow over her art.”
“One factor that made it much harder for her to get help was that whenever she talked about suicide,” Luxton said, Kiwi Farms members “would report her Facebook page and get it locked down. This had happened multiple times in the month prior to her death.”

All right, enough of the italics fisking mode. You see how this reporter repeats the claims about “attacks” and “harassment” as the cause of the problems experienced by Neumann/“Sagal,” when in fact he/“she” was experiencing consequences of his/“her” own deranged behavior. Nobody would have paid attention to Neumann/“Sagal” had it not been for his/“her” 2013 fundraising scam (and SJWs blacklisting Allistair Pinsof), but having become notorious, Neumann/“Sagal” then continued his/“her” bizarre online antics. Notice how Luxton dishonestly claims it was “harassment” for KF members to report Neumann’s/“Sagal’s” Facebook suicide threats. If someone is publicly threatening to kill themselves, should witnesses do nothing? But in the upside-down logic of “social justice,” lunatics must be permitted to engage in whatever dangerous behavior might occur to their disordered minds, and sane people are guilty of “harassment” if they say anything about it.

So (the sane man says, after smoking a cigarette while struggling to restrain his righteous indignation), the Oregonian reports this:

Several days before, on Saturday [June 16], police had taken her into custody after responding to a report that she wanted to harm herself.
She had a machete when officers arrived, but they defused the situation, according to Sgt. Chris Burley, Portland Police Bureau spokesman.
The police report for Saturday’s incident has not been released, but Burley said Sagal was taken by ambulance to Unity Center for Behavioral Health. . . .
Luxton, who spoke to Sagal on Monday over the phone, said Sagal “spent two days sitting in triage at the Unity Center; she was never properly hospitalized.”
When she was released, Sagal apparently had nowhere to go. The people who had been letting her live with them since March had decided they could no longer take care of her. . . .

(Yeah, start waving a machete around until the cops show up, and you might not be welcomed back after your stay in the psych ward.)

Friends say she was autistic, had physical difficulties, and struggled with mental illness. . . .
Monday was the last day many of her friends heard from her. She spoke with several friends and left two notes at the house where she had been staying.
One of those notes, the text of which was sent to The Oregonian/OregonLive, appears to be a suicide note.
“Whoever needs my van and the things in it should have it,” the note reads. “It’s parked around the corner … the keys are in the mailbox and the title is in the van.”
“My death cannot be silent,” it continues. “It has to be loud and political. My entire life, my experience, my education has led up to this moment. I can only expect trauma and death from my existence.”

Live like an autistic Lolcow, die like an autistic Lolcow.

Remember the movie Rainman, with Dustin Hoffman as the autistic? Remember how he was portrayed as harmless and lovable? If you were remaking that movie today, the autistic character wouldn’t be institutionalized, instead he’d be blabbering deranged nonsense all over the Internet — Tumblr, YouTube, Twitter — and making accusations of “harassment” if anybody said, “Hey, this dude’s some kind of wacko.”

(Hey, whatever happened to Bill Schmalfeldt, anyway?)

You don’t need a Ph.D. in psychology to know Crazy People Are Dangerous, and trying to invert the moral order by scapegoating sane people for calling out craziness when they see it isn’t “social justice,” it’s just a political “gotcha” game played by irresponsible people who want to make excuses for their own failure to do the right thing.

If your autistic son moves to Portland, starts calling himself “Chloe,” scams $30,000 for a sex-change operation and repeatedly threatens suicide, SJWs will find a way to blame the “hate mob” at Kiwi Farms, and then convince a reporter to pretend this is a story about “harassment.” If instead you think it’s a story about SJWs encouraging vulnerable people to indulge in deviant and irresponsible behavior, you’ll be accused of “hate” for sharing your opinion. Sanity must be silenced, so the lunatics can run the asylum. Until they light themselves on fire.

R.I.P., “Chloe Sagal.”

Having lived on the edge of the Beltway Singularity nearly two decades, there is a unique perspective that one can bring. Around the 2006 election that put Princess Pelosi in as Screecher of the House, there was a growing concern about whether there was something Really, Truly Wrong in the U.S. I saw an Instapundit link on Slashdot, which led me to Stacy McCain.

2008 ushered in #OccupiedResoluteDesk, and his famous “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” Apologists can try to spin that as some positive sentiment. The behavior of Democrats in the years 2006-2016 belies any effort to walk Obama back: they seriously thought they had the whole thing gamed, across all branches of the government and media.

2009 saw the Tea Party uprising. It’s with some satisfaction that one recalls the excitement of being an engaged citizen (“activist” is a nebulous Commie insult), culminating in the Tax Day Tea Party on the Mall. There is a clip of me asking Andrew Breitbard a question that made the “Hating Breitbart” documentary. Uncredited; don’t care; doesn’t matter.

Conspicuous in his absence around this time was Donald Trump. Scroll forward to 2016, and his non-support of Tea Parties meant that I had a hard time taking him seriously. I was a Cruz guy, and still support him fully. Trump, in my estimation (possibly I helped him in this) was a wrecking ball to split the Right. If DJT took the nomination in Cleveland, then Gloria Allread and the Bimbo Bombers would begin explosive landscaping in earnest. Or the TrumpU lawsuits, or some other noise would take him out. He was Mitt Romney without the Ward Cleaver charm. A strange fusion of Archie Bunker, Billie Mays, and Tommy Boy.

Along comes Conrad Blacks little 213 page treatment of Trump, which I just finishied reading:
This is the part where I eat some crow. The book starts with a biographical sketch. Trump is the embodiment of Protestant Work Ethic. In his younger days, Trump was something of a reckless risk-taker, and nearly suffered a total wing-meltdown getting his Icarus on with the casinos.

Trump was always politically curious, and seems to have viewed politics as another market and set of incentives to master. He did the reality-TV think with The Apprentice (I’ve seen perhaps half an episode) and did the homework. Which Her Majesty was far too cool to do, obviously.

Always considering myself more Tea Party than GOP, all I can say is three cheers for Donald. Black’s book offers a useful summary of both the campaign and the skullduggery of the Deep State through Spring, 2018.

The thing that bothers me about Trump is that, yes: we need thir virtuouso NOW. However, virtuosos are a Highlander lot. If we ejoy another 6 years of Trump, and then have to endure another Deep State tool like the predecessor, then Trump shall have seemed an exercise in delaying our decline at best. What do we do for a Keep America Great encore?

Death by Social Justice: Transgender Scammer ‘Chloe Sagal’ Commits Suicide

Posted on | June 22, 2018 | 1 Comment

BEFORE: John Paul Neumann (left); AFTER: ‘Chloe Sagal’ (right).

If you can’t afford mental health treatment and can’t pay your rent, but you can afford tattoos and transgender surgery, you’re not a victim of anything except your own bad judgment. Also, being a liar and a swindler probably won’t make you very popular. Such are the lessons to be learned from John Paul Neumann, a/k/a “Chloe Sagal,” who fraudulently claimed to be the victim of a traffic accident in order to raise tens of thousands of dollars for sex-change surgery, and committed suicide Tuesday by lighting himself/“herself” on fire in a public park:

A person set themself on fire Tuesday afternoon in a downtown Portland park across from the Multnomah County Courthouse after reading a manifesto about homelessness and mental health.
Witnesses gave conflicting statements about the gender of the person.
“It was just like those monks,” said Scot Baughman, who was sitting in a park bench shortly after the incident.
Baughman, a process server, was in the park at Southwest 4th Avenue and Main Street when the self-immolation occurred. He was the first person to attempt to put out the fire.
Donna Maxey, who was also in Lownsdale Square at the time, said she saw it unfold. She noticed a person enter the park, on crutches and barely able to walk, wearing a red scarf around their neck.
They “sat down and her papers were blowing away,” Maxey said. They “sat there for a while looking at [their] papers.”
The person “was reading a statement about homelessness and mental health issues,” Maxey said.
At that point, both Maxey and Baughman said, the person started to scream.
Then, said Maxey, they “got out a gallon bottle and poured what looked like dirty water over [their] head.
“I thought maybe [they were] really hot,” Maxey said. “All of a sudden I saw blue lighter.”
Baughman was walking through the park, he said, when the victim “stood up, completely engulfed in flame.
He said his first impulse was to take a picture, but instead he ran to the person, took his shirt off and used it to try to stop the flames.
But, said Baughman, the flames “would just not go out.”
Maxey said another woman called 911.
As Baughman tried to put the fire out, a sheriff arrived to help. But the person’s head was still on fire.
“Finally, they came over with a fire extinguisher,” Baughman said, and were able to put the flames out.

Neumman/“Sagal” was a 30-ish videogame developer, originally from Illinois, whose mental illness was manifested in serious antisocial behavior. At some point, it seems, Neumman/“Sagal” ran a failed startup that left employees unpaid and wrecked Neumman’s/“Sagal’s” credit rating. In 2013, Neumman/“Sagal” launched an IndieGoGo crowdfunding scam. Claiming that a near-fatal auto accident had left toxic metal embedded in his/“her” body, resulting in chronic pain, Neumman/“Sagal” said he/“she” needed $30,000 for a “life saving surgery.” But there was no accident and no toxic metal; Neumman/“Sagal” used the money for sex-change surgery.

A videogame industry journalist named Allistair Pinsof discovered the deception, but Neumman/“Sagal” threatened to commit suicide if he reported the story. Pinsof consulted with his editors, who were hesitant to go with the story, and Pinsof ultimately decided to go public with the truth on his own social-media account. Pinsof was fired and blacklisted by the videogame journalism industry, accused of wrongfully “outing” a transgender person, for reporting the truth about someone perpetrating online fraud. This was one of the scandals that preceded the #GamerGate controversy, involving so-called “social justice warriors” (SJWs) colluding with journalists to distort coverage of the videogame industry.

Good luck finding a straightforward account of who Neumman/“Sagal” actually was, and what he/“she” actually did, in any mainstream news venue. This was the point of #GamerGate after all — videogame journalism had become so corrupted by its devotion to “social justice” issues that it was impossible to get the truth from them.

Most of what I know about Neumman/“Sagal” is culled from online forums like Kiwi Farms, and it’s genuinely sad that “professional” reporters would rather ignore the facts than to report them, if the facts contradict the preferred “social justice” narrative.

What do we know about transgenderism that might be relevant to this story? Well, if all you know is what you get from the mainstream media, you probably aren’t aware that gender dysphoria has a high rate of co-morbidity with serious mental illnesses, including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and various personality disorders.

To put it as bluntly as possible, these people are crazy and, as I keep reminding readers, Crazy People Are Dangerous.

Neumman/“Sagal” had threatened or attempted suicide multiple times before. He/“she” had been committed to psychiatric hospitals for observation, but kept getting turned loose, and his/“her” antisocial behavior alienated anyone who tried to help him/“her.” A commenter on Kiwi Farms who had followed the situation summarized the problem:

Chloe had serious psychiatric problems and constantly pushed away both friends and family who tried to help her. While the things she did were both personally and morally abhorrent, she falls into a category of someone who was legitimately unwell and needed far more care and support than I think many realized, made more tragic by the fact that Chloe was never going to seek that herself. . . .
By this time last year, Sagal had burned almost every bridge I’m aware of. Even people who legitimately cared about her got pushed aside and/or abandoned by her for slights both real and imagined. For a long time, she’s been utterly and completely alone, solely through her own actions, and ultimately, there was no way out of that. . . .
She was a legitimately skilled game designer and if she had managed to vanquish her personal demons better, she’d likely have had a very bright career in that regard. The rub, of course, is that Chloe never had any intention to try. . . .
Victimhood can devastate the capabilities of even the most competent and intelligent person, but victimhood paired with psychological illness can completely destroy lives. In Chloe’s case it became a horrifying self-fulfilling prophecy, destroying her relationships, undermining her career, and leaving her vulnerable to being manipulated by s–theads.

And the “s–theads,” in this case, were SJWs whose only interest in Neumman/“Sagal” was using him/“her” as a weapon to attack their enemies, to make accusations of “transphobia” against anyone who reported honestly about Neumman/“Sagal” and his/“her” scams. Once he/“she” ceased to be useful for that purpose, and once his/“her” craziness caused problems for the SJWs, Neumman/“Sagal” was discarded like a used condom, and videogame journalists pretended they never heard of him/“her.” It doesn’t fit the SJW narrative, you see, when the person you’ve depicted as an innocent victim of “hate” turns out to be an antisocial nutjob who needs to be permanently institutionalized.

Remember Jackson Mosher, a/k/a “Gwynevere River Song,” the mentally ill transgender atheist who was shot to death after attacking his/“her” father with a knife? It’s not as if there were no warning signs that Mosher was dangerous, considering his/“her” reaction to the 2016 election.

You can’t cure insanity with hormone injections or sex-change surgery and, by requiring us to pretend that we don’t know this, political correctness is quite literally killing people.
