Good Riddance to Teresa Sullivan
Posted on | July 31, 2018 | 1 Comment
She was the first female president of the University of Virginia, an institution whose reputation she did everything possible to disgrace:
It’s been nearly four years since Rolling Stone magazine published its disastrous article about an alleged gang-rape at the University of Virginia. The story was so unbelievably fake (the main accused rapist didn’t even exist!) that the magazine was forced to settle three lawsuits brought by those who had been harmed by the article.
The president of UVA at the time of the hoax, Teresa Sullivan, leaves office on Tuesday, and has naturally provided some historical revisions as to her role in the debacle.
“People said you didn’t have to change anything because the [November 201i4] story was wrong,” Sullivan said in an interview with The Daily Progress. “Well, the story was wrong, but the underlying issue is, were there sexual assaults happening? Yes, there were, and were we responding adequately to those? I thought we could improve and I believe that we have.”
Sullivan makes it seem like she didn’t wildly overreact to an accusation with more holes than Swiss cheese. In the wake of the article, without missing a beat, Sullivan extended a voluntary weekend ban on social activities from the school’s Greek Council for nearly two months. This was a blanket punishment on all Greek organizations, and it continued after the ban was lifted. To resume activities, the organizations had to sign new agreements with the school, which included new restrictions on social activities, such as requiring fraternities to block stairs to residential rooms and place sober brothers throughout the event. Mixed drinks, such as punches, were also prohibited.
Sullivan never apologized for rushing to judgment or assuming the guilt of all Greek organizations. Instead, she claims she was simply improving policies.
(Hat-tip: Instapundit.) The story was wrong, but it made for an excellent excuse to punish fraternity boys, which is the whole point of becoming a female university president, isn’t it? Teresa wasn’t one of the popular girls in school, so she climbed the ladder of academic administration, and then got her belated revenge on all those smug frat boys.

‘Gender Equality’ Achieved in Canada
Posted on | July 31, 2018 | Comments Off on ‘Gender Equality’ Achieved in Canada
Saye Skye is a transgender (female-to-male) rapper in Toronto, where the gender equality has “empowered” her to be treated exactly like a man:
A quiet afternoon stroll in a west-end park earlier this month turned violent for a Toronto rapper, who says he was attacked by two men and a woman for being transgender.
Saye Skye was playing with his cat in the park on July 16 when he asked a group drinking near Bloor Street and Ossington Avenue to stop littering.
“They started swearing at me and calling me names, threatening me that they would kill me,” he told CBC Toronto.
Skye is a Persian musician and spoken word artist who gained popularity in parts of the Middle East. He fled to Canada from Iran for fear he could be targeted for his sexual orientation and advocacy on behalf of the LGBT community.
Skye often tackles subjects of discrimination and homophobia in his music, and says he thinks those were the driving forces behind the alleged attack against him.
Toronto police have launched an investigation into the alleged incident. They are treating it as an assault, noting they don’t have enough evidence to indicate it was a hate-motivated crime. . . .
He said the assault started when he confronted a man — who was sitting on a bench in the park with another man and a woman — after he saw him throw a beer bottle onto the ground.
Skye says he came out of the altercation with a bloody nose and a broken phone.
Skye said he asked the man to use a nearby garbage bin instead, recalling how his cat got one of its feet stuck in an empty beer can in the park only days earlier.
“It escalated in a second and one of them punched me in the face. He started saying, ‘You know who you’re f–k?ing talking to, f–k?ing tranny?'” he told CBC Toronto.
Skye said he managed to pull out his phone and started to record the attack but he was knocked to the ground. The woman hit him in the back of his head with her purse. . . .
The attackers took away his phone, smashed it and threw it in a nearby ditch, Skye said. . . .
Skye said the attack was senseless and he’s at a loss about the entire incident.
“I live my queer life very visibly and I try to be proud of myself, and as hard as it is with all the stares and everything, I try to live a true life and maybe that’s an obvious thing for people to notice that I’m queer,” he said.
He is also calling out the people who “just watched at the corners of the intersection” and failed to assist him, even though it was clear to everyone that he was in danger.
“Everyone stood there and watched,” he said.
“There were so many people. I went to people begging for help, I was bleeding. You could tell that I was in danger,” he said.
“How can you see somebody in that situation and laugh when I go to them and ask them, ‘Please call the cops; can somebody call the cops?”‘
Congratulations to Canadians, who have created gender equality, and an opportunity for everyone to get beaten up in public parks.
Woman gets beat up by man. It's only considered a hate crime when she claims to be a man herself. If you're gonna pretend to be a dude, don't be surprised when men start treating you like one. https://t.co/CYyxN21wzw

Online Dating Is for Losers and Also Rapists on Coast-to-Coast Crime Sprees
Posted on | July 31, 2018 | Comments Off on Online Dating Is for Losers and Also Rapists on Coast-to-Coast Crime Sprees
How many times have I warned against online dating? Not often enough, I guess, because people keep doing it, and some of them end up dead:
A man accused of murder, rape and holding a woman captive in a crime spree which stretched from the east to west coasts of the USA used Tinder and other dating websites to find his alleged victims, police revealed.
A police search was launched for Danueal Drayton, 27, after 29-year-old nurse Samantha Stewart was found dead in her bedroom in Queens, New York, on July 17.
She had reportedly suffered trauma to her head and neck.
During the investigation, Drayton, of New Haven, Connecticut, was eventually linked to the rape of another woman that happened in the area weeks earlier.
He was then traced by police to the West coast and arrested this week in California over allegedly sexually assaulting and trying to kill another 28-year-old woman he was holding captive in a LA hotel room after a date, police said.
Authorities believe Drayton used Tinder to meet these women and other dating sites to meet other possible victims.
New York police chief Dermot Shea said the “common denominator” in the cases was “multiple dating websites” that Drayton used to “victimise” the women, reports CNN.
According to reports the Los Angeles County District Attorney said Drayton allegedly strangled and assaulted his third victim on July 22 and 23 after he refused to let her leave her apartment following a date.
Do I need to repeat what I’ve said so often before? People who sign up for an online dating site all have one thing in common: They can’t get a date with anybody they know in real life. They are either (a) desperate doomed losers, or (b) dangerous creeps, or maybe (c) both.
Every time I share this advice, however, some reader is certain to say, “Oh, I met my [wife or husband] through an online dating site and we’re fine.” Yeah, so far, so good. Your spouse may be planning to murder you tomorrow night and bury you in the backyard, for all you know. Your “happy ending” online dating stories may be the exception that proves the rule, or maybe it’s just you and your spouse were both desperate losers and therefore a perfect match, but I digress . . . .
There is at least one woman dead, another raped, and a third who survived being raped and held hostage by Danueal Drayton and why? Because they took a chance and “swiped right” on a psychopath’s profile.
Don’t say you weren’t warned.

Italian Official: ‘A Country Which Does Not Create Children Is Destined to Die’
Posted on | July 30, 2018 | Comments Off on Italian Official: ‘A Country Which Does Not Create Children Is Destined to Die’
Jack Montgomery reports at Breitbart:
Italy’s new Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Matteo Salvini is following Hungary’s Viktor Orbán in putting demographics at the heart of his programme, warning that a country which imports migrants instead of supporting families is “destined to die”.
The League (Lega) leader, who heads one half of Italy’s new populist coalition government, set out his priorities in an interview with The Sunday Times at the historic Palazzo del Viminale in Rome.
“A country which does not create children is destined to die,” Salvini stated bluntly.
“We have created a ministry of the family to work on fertility, nurseries, on a fiscal system which takes large families into account. At the end of this mandate, the government will be measured on the number of newborns more than on its public debt,” he declared.
The 45-year-old warned that nothing less than Italy’s “tradition, our story, our identity” was at stake — particularly as the political left was using declining birthrates and the supposed threat of an ageing population an “excuse” to “import immigrants”.
The Italian leader appears to be following in the footsteps of conservatives in Central Europe, particularly Poland and Hungary, who have made a conscious decision to pursue pro-family policies and reject mass migration, even if it means slower short-term gains to GDP and provoking the globalist establishment in the European Union.
After winning a third term with a parliamentary super-majority earlier this year, Hungary’s Viktor Orbán made it abundantly clear that his government would concern itself primarily with “how many children are born to Hungarian women; how many children we raise together; whether there will be a Hungarian future; whether the Hungarian nation will survive biologically and numerically; what we must do to stop the decline we clearly see in this area; and what we must do to change the fact that we have more funerals than christenings.”
New policies intended to help responsible married couples into homeownership, support childrearing, and raise incomes may already be bearing fruit, with the U.S.-based Institute for Family Studies suggesting the country is successfully “winding back the clock on much of the fertility and family-structure transition that demographers have long considered inevitable”.
There is no such thing as an “inevitable” trend. People make historical trends, and not the other way around. Ronald Reagan famously said: “We are not, as some would have us believe, doomed to an inevitable decline. I do not believe in a fate that will all on us no matter what we do. I do believe in a fate that will fall on us if we do nothing.”
The media routinely describe Matteo Salvini as “far right,” just as they’ve branded Donald Trump “far right,” like Reagan before him. Whenever people reject the advice of doomsayers who tell us we must accept our “inevitable” decline, liberals call them “far right.”
Illegal Alien Sentenced for Raping Girl
Posted on | July 30, 2018 | 1 Comment
In June 2016, sheriff’s deputies in Jones County, Mississippi, responded to a report that a juvenile had been raped. This led to the arrest of Alberto Conteras and Kimberly Nicole Zuniga-Hancock, a relative of the victim:
Through investigative interrogation and victim reports, it was determined Hancock and Contreras were texting earlier on June 24, 2016, while Hancock and the victim were together.
Hancock was telling Contreras she had a “friend” who would perform sexual acts for money. Hancock brought the victim to the residence of Contreras.
The three then consumed alcohol and Hancock left the residence to supposedly pick up a friend. At this time, Contreras forced himself on the victim.
Following the rape, the victim left the scene and went to a nearby relative’s home.
Contreras was sentenced to prison last week:
A judge sentenced a man to 10 years in prison for the rape of a juvenile in Jones County in 2016. On July 27, 41-year-old Alberto Contreras pleaded guilty to rape-assault with intent to ravish.
During his court appearance, the judge stated the Contreras, who is an illegal alien, will spend three years in prison at the Mississippi Department of Corrections before being deported back to Mexico. Additionally, if he returns to U.S soil he will complete the remainder of his sentence in prison before being deported again.
Contreras would have been facing life in prison if he had decided to go to trial.
Meanwhile, in Kansas:
A man in the country illegally is now facing charges for allegedly raping a 15-year-old girl in Johnson County.
According to court documents, 28-year-old Daniel Marquez-Trevizo took three teenagers to his apartment and bought them alcohol.Witnesses told detectives the victim drank a total of 10 beers and was highly intoxicated before the alleged rape took place.
Evidence from a rape kit matched Marquez-Trevizo’s DNA.
Marquez-Trevizo, a Mexican national, had been in the country illegally before and was deported in 2008, according to a statement from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Feminists haven’t mentioned these crimes, for some reason.
