She/‘He’ Wins State Wrestling Title

Posted on | February 27, 2017 | Comments Off on She/‘He’ Wins State Wrestling Title

Everybody is commenting on Mack Beggs, the 17-year-old female-to-male transsexual who won the Texas state girls’ wrestling championship. Beggs has been on testosterone for over a year, which would be illegal for any female wrestler under the normal rules, but the rules also forbade Beggs from competing as a boy. Beggs never lost a match this season competing against girls. Everyone agrees she/“he” has an unfair advantage:

After Euless Trinity transgender wrestler Mack Beggs defeated League City Clear Creek’s Taylor Latham in the first round of the UIL state meet Friday, Latham’s mother made it clear that she believes it was unfair that Beggs is allowed to take testosterone as he transitions from female to male.
But Lisa Latham also said it’s a no-win situation for Beggs, the 17-year-old junior competing in the 110-pound weight class.
“Mack wants to wrestle boys and he’ll never be recognized as a boy because of the birth certificate in the state of Texas,” Lisa Latham said after Beggs’ 18-7 victory. “And female wrestlers don’t have a chance.” . . .
Latham later emphasized again how she believes it’s unfair for Beggs to be competing against the girls. But she also said the birth-certificate rule needs to be changed.
“The UIL needs to get up with the times,” she said.

Yeah, “get up with the times.” We’ve gone through the looking glass and down the rabbit hole. Boys are girls and girls are boys and, let me just mention something that everybody else seems willing to overlook: Girls wrestling as a varsity sport? Are you kidding me?

Oh, “equality,” they’ll say. Title IX, they’ll say. Insanity, I say. What kind of parents would encourage their daughters to go out for wrestling? This all goes back to United States v. Virginia, when the Clinton administration sued to force Virginia Military Institute to admit women. You have to wonder, what kind of parent would want their daughter to attend a military academy? I’m very proud that one of my sons is in the Army, but I would not want any of my daughters to be in the military. It’s just like I’m proud that one of my sons is a home remodeling contractor, but I wouldn’t want my daughters to be roofing, flooring, painting, hanging sheetrock, etc. Call me a “sexist” all you want, but traditional divisions of labor did not develop randomly, nor are “gender roles” imposed by patriarchal oppression. A fanatical obsession with “equality” tends to undermine the kind social efficiency that exists when people live in accordance with widely recognized common-sense rules and customs.

One of the most amazing things about human beings is our ability to adapt to our environment and survive adverse conditions. Humans can live in the tropics or the arctic, in the city or the wilderness. In the course of many thousands of years of human history, we have developed some knowledge of what works and what doesn’t work. We know what sort of behaviors and attitudes produce successful societies, and we also know what causes societies to fail. France was once among the world’s most powerful nations, rivaled only by England and Spain, but has suffered a string of disasters since the French Revolution, and is now decadent, with little influence beyond Europe. Why? We may summarize the source of France’s woes in a single word, equality.

“Believe me, sir, those who attempt to level never equalise. In all societies, consisting of various descriptions of citizens, some description must be uppermost. The levellers therefore only change and pervert the natural order of things; they load the edifice of society, by setting up in the air what the solidity of the structure requires to be on the ground.”
— Edmund Burke, Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790)

So now we have varsity wrestling for high school girls, and a champion girl who wants to be a boy, and somewhere there may be people who think this is “progress,” but those people are fools. What we are witnessing is a species of insanity, symptomatic of cultural decadence.

Human beings are adaptable, and successful people will find ways to succeed even amid the madness of America’s cultural decline, but we ought not pretend that our successful adaptation proves that the madcap reign of neo-Jacobin “equality” is harmless, much less beneficial.

Well, unfortunately, all the visual search results for “hot lion babes” were more than a little pornographic, so this week we’ll go in a slightly different direction and serve up Atsuko Natsume, the heroine of the anime All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku (trailer here for your edification*), which was my first introduction to catgirls in anime. Atsuko, unlike most other catgirls, is actually a cyborg with a cat’s brain in a humanoid robotic body, which leads to occasional moments of distraction when she sees mice. Anyway, here we see our heroine in the obligatory beach episode of the original series.
As usual, many of the following links are to pics generally considered NSFW. The management is not responsible for any negative outcomes (including, but not limited to: hairballs, spraying, shedding, destruction of property, ill-timed naps, attacks by giant mecha or demented robots, or persecution by heavily armed Office Ladies) resulting from your failure to exercise discretion in your clicking.

Despite having the (literal) brain of a cat, Nuku Nuku seems to be enjoying the beach.

We kick off this week with Ninety Miles From Tyranny, who brings us Hot Pick of the Late Night, Morning Mistress, and Girls With Guns. Goodstuff chips in with the original First Lady of Rock n’ Roll, Priscilla Presley, and Animal Magnetism contributes Rule Five Balkanization Friday as well as the Saturday Gingermageddon.

EBL’s herd this week includes Leslie Mann, Women Eating Cannoli, Women of CPAC, Heather Thomas, Heather Locklear, and Heather Graham, as well as Deborah Kerr.

A View From The Beach presents A Hunger for a Hungarian – Barbara Palvin, Maryland DNR Planning for Rays, Mean Dykes Drive Out Lady Netter, Retailer Predicts Good Year for Bay Crabs, “Old Love”, Do the Jellyfish!, Heads Explode as Senate Confirms Pruit to Head EPA, Chilly in Chile, and “Lost Me”

Proof Positive’s Friday Night Babe is Florence Faivre, his Vintage Babe is Jinx Falkenburg, and Sex in Advertising is covered by Calvin Klein. At Dustbury, it’s FKA twigs and Joan Blondell.

Thanks to everyone for their linkagery!

#CPAC2017: Draft Sheriff Clarke

Posted on | February 26, 2017 | Comments Off on #CPAC2017: Draft Sheriff Clarke

NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland
Saturday night, I spent about 15 minutes talking to Jack Daly, a longtime conservative activist who is a leader of the Draft Sheriff David Clarke for U.S. Senate committee. They want the Milwaukee County sheriff, who has attracted a nationwide following from his appearances on Fox News, to challenge Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin in 2018. It didn’t take Daly five minutes to make me see what a brilliant idea this is, and the last 10 minutes of our conversation was mainly me raving about how the Clarke for Senate campaign would immediately become a national focus to energize conservatives in the 2018 midterm elections.

This isn’t rocket science. You don’t have to be a political genius to see how vulnerable Baldwin is. In 2012, she only got 51% of the vote against Republican Ron Johnson in a presidential election year with Obama at the top of the ticket to drive turnout among Democrat voters. Looking at the exit polls, Johnson actually got a greater share of the white vote (50%-47%), but Baldwin got 91% of the black vote. What do you think the numbers would look like in a Baldwin-Clarke matchup in a midterm year?

Sen. Tammy Baldwin (left), Sheriff David Clarke (right).

The dividends of such a matchup won’t be limited to Wisconsin. Baldwin is not only a woman, she is a lesbian, so that in the attempt to defend her seat, her re-election campaign will attract millions of dollars in contributions from feminist, abortion and LGBT groups and activists — money and effort they can’t spend elsewhere. And if Clarke runs, he’ll attract many millions of dollars from a nationwide army of conservative small donors — many giving $50 or less — so that his campaign will be driven by the kind of grassroots energy that elected Trump.

If Clarke runs, he wins — I have no doubt about that — which means all the NARAL and Planned Parenthood money spent in the attempt to defend Baldwin’s seat would be a complete waste on a doomed Democrat.

If one of the most high-profile Senate races in the country in 2018 features a black conservative as the Republican candidate, what does that do to the liberal media narrative of the GOP and President Trump as racists? It destroys it, completely, like the A-bomb wiped out Hiroshima. And, yes, Sheriff Clarke is deeply conservative — he can quote Antonin Scalia by memory — and yes, Donald Trump loves the guy:

“David, we are very proud of you. What you’ve done is incredible. . . .
The first time I saw you on television a couple of years ago
I said: ‘There’s a man who is absolutely terrific! He gets it.'”

That’s one of the many endorsements for Sheriff Clark from the draft committee’s website, which also includes quotes from Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Ginni Thomas and others. This campaign could be a real game-changer in terms of shifting the national balance of power by consolidating the populist/conservative majority in Midwestern states like Wisconsin which Trump won in 2016. If the GOP can build reliable electoral majorities in states like Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania — in 2018, 2020 and beyond — the possibility of Democrats recapturing either the Senate or the White House would become a faint and distant hope for liberals. And if Republicans can elect black conservatives like Sheriff Clarke, they take away from liberals one of their most cherished toys, the identity-politics hustle of race-baiting. Let’s do this thing.

SHERIFF CLARKE FOR SENATE

#CPAC2017: Witches vs. Trump

Posted on | February 25, 2017 | 1 Comment

“[Feminism is] a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.”
— Pat Robertson, 1992

NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland
While thousands of Conservative Political Action Conference attendees were celebrating their movement’s success here — the Breitbart luau was among the many parties Saturday night — witches gathered at midnight at Trump Tower in New York to cast a “binding spell” against our president.

Liberals are convinced the powers of darkness are their friends:

The mass ritual will allegedly be repeated again March 26, April 24, May 23, June 21 (the summer solstice), July 21, and August 19.
The spell also invokes evil on “those who abet” Trump, which would seem to appear to cover his staff and political nominees, and perhaps the millions who voted for him as well. . . .
In reaction, a number of Christian groups and individuals have promised to pray for Mr. Trump, asking God’s blessings on his work and on the nation. . . .
The witches’ spell involves a lengthy incantation, calling on spirits and “demons of the infernal realms” to bind Donald J. Trump so that “he may fail utterly, that he may do no harm.”

Witches target Trump with mass occult ritual. Christians, pray for our president. The Devil is no happy. #CPAC2017 https://t.co/PHwHdsex6D

The Political Hat has pointed out that using witchcraft against Trump was very popular among feminist witches with Tumblr blogs.

The famous 1992 quote by Pat Robertson was absolutely true, as I have documented the reality of feminist involvement in witchcraft:

Nov. 2, 2016: The Myth-Making of Academic Feminism
Feb. 21, 2017: ‘Feminist Witchcraft,’ Mental Illness and the Demonic Dangers of the Occult

Since the 1970s, feminists have celebrated witches as an “archetype” of empowered women, and have cited the witch hunts as part of a narrative of oppression, grossly exaggerating the numbers of victims and distorting the history to create a mythology of martyred victims. This is actually taught as fact in Women’s Studies classes. The influential textbook Women’s Voices, Feminist Visions by Oregon State University professors Susan M. Shaw and Janet Lee includes this:

In the “burning times” (between the 11th and 14th centuries), millions of women in Europe were murdered as witches. for many of these women, “witchcraft” was simply the practice of traditional healing and spirtuality and the refusal to profess Christianity. For other women, the charge of witchcraft had nothing to do with religious practices and everything to do with accusations rooted in jealousy, greed, and fear of female sexuality. But in the frenzy of the times, defending oneself against an accusation of witchcraft was practically impossible, and an accusation alone generally meant death. (p. 598)

In the early twenty-first century, many women participate in revivals of ancient women-centered religions and have become empowered through the revaluing of the feminine implicit in this spirituality. Wicca, or witchcraft (although not the witches we popularly think of at Halloween), is a Goddess- and nature-oriented religion whose origins predate both Judaism and Christianity. Current Wiccan practice involves the celebration of the feminine, connection with nature, and the practice of healing. As Wiccan practitioner Starhawk suggests, witchcraft encourages women to be strong, confident, and independent and to love the Goddess, the earth, and other human beings. This notion of witchcraft is very different from the cultural norms associated with witches that are propagated in society. (p. 602)

High priestesses of feminist witchcraft Starhawk (left) and Z Budapest (right).

Starhawk (neé Miriam Simos) is high priestess of a neo-pagan feminist witchcraft cult known as the “Reclaiming” tradition. Starhawk was one of the earliest disciples of Z. Budapest (neé Zsuzsanna Emese Mokcsa), high priestess of the Dianic Wicca cult of feminist witchcraft. Feminists actually believe in this stuff, which is promoted in university Women’s Studies programs. At the University of Pennsylvania, for example, the department of Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies offers a class in “Witchcraft and Possession” (GSWS 119), Academic feminists produce articles like “Witchcraft and Gender in Early Modern Europe,” “Witchcraft Studies from the Perspective of Women’s and Gender History,” and “Witchcraft and Women: A Historiography of Witchcraft as Gender History.” Parents can now send their daughters to a state university to study witchcraft at taxpayer expense.

This is what feminists call “progress,” you see.

Christians need to pray for the President’s protection:

Pray therefore the God of Peace to crush Satan beneath our feet, that he may no longer retain men captive and do injury to the Church.

There’s no point praying for Democrats, of course. They’ve sold their souls to the Devil and are helpless slaves serving their satanic master.

Witches around the world gathered at midnight last night to cast a spell on Trump & his supporters. It was good to see Hillary out again.

Second Amendment and @LogCabinGOP: Because Survival Is the First Natural Right

Posted on | February 25, 2017 | 1 Comment

Gregory Angelo of Log Cabin Republicans at CPAC.

NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland
An armed society is a polite society, as Robert Heinlein observed, and no right is more important your right to defend your own life. All other rights are meaningless to a dead man, and last year’s terrorist attack in Orlando, where a radical Muslim killed 49 people and wounded 53 others at a gay nightclub, was an overdue wake-up call.

“The Second Amendment offers the LGBT community the constitutional right to defend ourselves and our families. And that’s something I don’t think we should take lightly, nor seek to erode,” Log Cabin Republicans president Gregory Angelo said last year in an interview with Lifezette. “Without the ability to defend yourself, there are no gay rights.”

At the group’s booth at CPAC where the “Gays for Guns” sign was prominently displayed, Angelo said that the concept of equal protection expressed in the landmark Obergefell ruling on same-sex marriage could also be used to strike down local anti-gun laws that limit the right to self-defense. Concealed-carry licenses issued in one state should be recognized in all other states, Angelo said. He noted that Log Cabin Republicans are the only LGBT advocacy group that consistently defends the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

Robert Heinlein would totally understand.
