Rule 5 Sunday: Making Anime Great Again

Posted on | January 29, 2017 | 3 Comments

— compiled by Wombat-socho

It’s been an interesting first week since the Inauguration, and for those of us that enjoy the autistic screeching and tears of the Left, it’s been a GREAT week. Shia LaBoeuf arrested for assault, anarchist rioters getting beaten down by police as the crowd cheers IN PORTLAND, others looking at serious jail time thanks to a law Obama passed…yes, a great week indeed. Some of you may remember that in the early stages of the campaign, sometime consultant Rick Wilson derided Trump supporters as “a bunch of basement dwellers [pleasuring themselves] to anime.” The Deplorables weren’t slow to weaponize that mockery and throw it back into Wilson’s face, flooding the Internet with images of cute anime girls sporting Trump hats. The rest, as they say, is history…

Has Everybody Gone Insane?

Posted on | January 29, 2017 | Comments Off on Has Everybody Gone Insane?

Don’t piss off the Jews by issuing a statement on the Holocaust that doesn’t mention Jews. I don’t think this needs any explanation, as it seems obvious to me that (a) when you’re a Republican and (b) the Left is comparing you to Hitler, then (c) you probably shouldn’t offend John Podhoretz. Also, when you’re cracking down on Islamic terrorism, obviously this is something you can expect conservative Jews to support, and this support is very crucial from a standpoint of political strategy, so offending John Podhoretz is doubly foolish at this point. Enough said.

Meanwhile, David French is defending Trump’s policy:

To read the online commentary, one would think that President Trump just fundamentally corrupted the American character. You would think that the executive order on refugees he signed yesterday betrayed America’s Founding ideals. You might even think he banned people from an entire faith from American shores. . . .
CNN, doing its best Huffington Post impersonation, ran a headline declaring “Trump bans 134,000,000 from the U.S.” The Huffington Post, outdoing itself, just put the Statue of Liberty upside down on its front page.
So, what did Trump do? Did he implement his promised Muslim ban? No, far from it. He backed down dramatically from his campaign promises and instead signed an executive order dominated mainly by moderate refugee restrictions and temporary provisions aimed directly at limiting immigration from jihadist conflict zones. . . .
First, the order temporarily halts refugee admissions for 120 days to improve the vetting process, then caps refugee admissions at 50,000 per year. Outrageous, right? Not so fast. Before 2016, when Obama dramatically ramped up refugee admissions, Trump’s 50,000 stands roughly in between a typical year of refugee admissions in George W. Bush’s two terms and a typical year in Obama’s two terms.

Read the whole thing. At one point, French was mentioned as a possible third-party candidate by the GOP “Never Trump” crowd, so he can scarcely be called a sockpuppet for the Trump administration, but the liberal media accounts have distorted what Trump actually did, and the reaction has been as crazy as . . . Well, I leave it to you, Captain Kirk.

The Problem of ‘Racist Facts’

Posted on | January 29, 2017 | 1 Comment

More than a decade ago, the first time some left-wing scumbag tagged me with the “white supremacist” label, I was both insulted and amused. The obvious question — which no liberal ever seems to ask — is this: “What does ‘white supremacist’ mean?” Historically, this term is associated with those who defended Jim Crow segregation in the 1950s and ’60s, and so the term is obsolete as a matter of political science. Anyone who supposes, at this late date, that America could feasibly reinstate segregation or any similar regime is a deluded fool. Even more deluded are Neo-Nazis, who believe they can stage a putsch and institute a 21st-century racial totalitarianism. Neo-Nazis are auto-marginalizing, for the simple and obvious reason that the American people overwhelmingly agree with Jake in The Blues Brothers: “I hate Illinois Nazis.”

 

My Dad was wounded within an inch of his life fighting Nazis in World War II, and irresponsible smear merchants (hello, Max Blumenthal) who thought they could get away with impugning my character in this fashion have been repeatedly exposed as frauds and liars. Friends who actually know me (as the fun-loving, gregarious human being I am) were stunned when, in 2009, a certain despicable lizard tried to recycle those smears, after he previously tried to defame Pamela Geller as a crypto-fascist.

Another problem with the phrase “white supremacist,” beyond its use by the Left as a crude pejorative slur, is that insofar as it has any meaning in the 21st century, it can only describe an adherent of a theory. One must ignore a lot of historical facts in order to embrace such a theory, and thus I am not a “white supremacist” for the same basic reason I reject feminism, another ideology based on counter-factual theory. We must live in the world as it actually is, rather than attempting to “reform” the world according to some intellectual theory of how the world should be, and this rejection of ideological schemes is equally applicable to Marxism, feminism, “white supremacy” or Keynesian economics. Think of all of the wicked mischief Americans have endured the past 15 or 20 years because of George Soros and his warped interpretation of Karl Popper’s “open society” theory. Popper is not to blame for Soros any more than pickup artists (PUAs) are to blame for Elliot Rodger, but the fact is that Soros is a fanatic devoted to an ideological theory, and it is this error — a preference for theory over facts — which makes Soros such a menace.

As I’ve stated before, in politics I am a conservative, in economics I am an Austrian, and in religion I am a Calvinist. All of these are reputable schools of thought, with many able defenders, which spares me the labor of always having to explain myself. Being an adherent of certain fundamental principles also prevents me from being tossed around like a feather on the wind by every controversy that comes along. My basic modus operandi, based on a simple logic, is to figure out what side of the issue the Left is on, and get on the other side. You can seldom go wrong in politics by betting against the prevailing beliefs of the New York Times.

All of that is preamble to something Steve Sailer linked at his blog Friday, a research paper by Florida State University psychology graduate student Bo Winegard and two of his associates, entitled “Human Biological and Psychological Diversity.” Winegard and his colleagues could be fairly described as disciples of E.O. Wilson’s Sociobiology thesis, members of a school of thought known as evolutionary psychology. A professor of biology at Harvard University, Wilson applied Darwinian theory rigorously to the problem of human social behavior, and his 1975 book was highly influential. Unfortunately, the arbiters of political correctness in academia (who have long embraced Darwinism as a justification of atheism) were willing to ignore even this eminent scientist’s work because it did not wholly confirm their own left-wing biases.

Darwin is only useful to the Left insofar as evolution can be used by degenerates as a weapon to attack Christian morality, but when Darwinian theory is made the basis of arguments the Left doesn’t like, we find reputable researchers condemned as crypto-Nazis merely for going wherever the facts about human nature may lead them. We may suppose that Winegard, et al., know the risks involved in their argument:

Many evolutionary psychologists have asserted that there is a panhuman nature, a species typical psychological structure that is invariant across human populations. Although many social scientists dispute the basic assumptions of evolutionary psychology, they seem widely to agree with this hypothesis. Psychological differences among human populations (demes, ethnic groups, races) are almost always attributed to cultural and sociological forces in the relevant literatures. However, there are strong reasons to suspect that the hypothesis of a panhuman nature is incorrect. . . . It is likely that humans also evolved slightly different psychological traits as a response to different selection pressures in different environments and niches. One possible example is the high intelligence of the Ashkenazi Jewish people. Frank discussions of such differences among human groups have provoked strong ethical concerns in the past. We understand those ethical concerns and believe that it is important to address them. However, we also believe that the benefits of discussing possible human population differences outweigh the costs.

You can read the whole thing in PDF format. Because I am neither much interested in theory nor qualified to discuss this paper in terms of science, I will not attempt to summarize the arguments made by Winegard and his colleagues. Being a father of six children, however, I can testify to my own observation that certain psychological traits tend to be passed along from parents to their children, and I think any parent who pays attention would agree that the acorn seldom falls far from the tree. Of course, every child has two parents, and one obvious way we can affect the traits of our offspring is by seeking mates who exhibit traits we find desirable.

 

My wife sometimes gets angry when I say that it was her excellent character and temperament which appealed to me as much as her high cheekbones and beautiful smile, but when a man chooses a wife — “Me Tarzan, you Jane” — he certainly ought to be conscious of such matters. What kind of mother will she be? How will her hereditary traits combine with his traits to create a the hybrid offspring of the next generation? Just yesterday my 18-year-old son remarked about the circumstantial fluke by which his mother and I met, a seemingly random coincidence to which he owes his own existence. As a Calvinist, of course, I don’t believe in coincidences, and so our children must consider themselves indebted to the grace of God for their lives, and also for their parents.

We have heard a lot recently about Planned Parenthood, but there is a popular saying among evangelical Christians, “If you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plans.” Man proposes and God disposes. What some people call luck or fate, the Christian must accept as divine will.

Poll: How do Americans feel about
Obamacare and Planned Parenthood?

Is the question how Americans do feel, or how they should feel? We know that the Democrat Party and the liberal media (but I repeat myself) want people to approve of abortion and socialized medicine, but what would people think about these topics if it were not for the media’s constant partisan cheerleading for the atheistic Culture of Death?

Feminism Is a Hate Movement

Posted on | January 29, 2017 | 5 Comments

 

Two books that I have often recommended for understanding feminism are Domestic Tranquility: A Brief Against Feminism by Carolyn Graglia, and Heterophobia: Sexual Harassment and the Future of Feminism by Daphne Patai. If you have not read these books, order them from Amazon immediately because the authors get to the real core of what feminism is about, i.e., hatred. Feminists do not merely hate men. Feminists also hate marriage, motherhood, Christianity and capitalism, not necessarily in that order. Feminism is hostile to everything good and decent in the world, and the goals of the feminism movement are entirely destructive.

All who claim that feminism is about “equality” are either fools or liars. Feminists themselves have made clear that there is no limit to their demands. Give feminists everything they demand today, and tomorrow they will return with a new list of demands. Feminists are totalitarians with a remorseless appetite for power. Feminists are cruel and dishonest, and will tell any lie necessary to achieve their wicked purposes.

 

The Women’s March on Washington was a vivid expression of how Democrats have harnessed this hate movement for partisan purposes:

Donna Hylton, a woman who spent time in prison for participating in the kidnapping, rape, murder, and ransoming of a gay man, spoke at the Women’s March as an advocate for women of color.

That a criminal psychopath was a leader of this feminist rally — and no one in the liberal media even mentioned her record of hateful violence — tells you a lot about the feminist movement and its ideology. Donna Hylton is not an isolated example, but is altogether typical of the kind of mentally deranged sadists that this movement attracts.

Shouting obscenities, celebrating abortion, and spewing vitriolic hatred toward men, the feminists of the Women’s March were accurately described by Catholic journalist Michael Voris as satanic:

The rage displayed by these emotionally and psychologically devastated women is completely unbalanced, mentally off. It needs to be called out for what it is.
That a person like Madonna, whose own children have expressed dismay at her exploitation of sex during her career, would be one of the lead representatives of this event says everything you need to know. How many marchers in that crowd have the blood of their own children on their hands? Guilt is what inspired them to march, not fear of Trump. . . .
The sounds you heard in the streets of D.C. on Saturday are echoes of the sounds the damned will hear in Hell — hate, rage, anger, guilt, shame. This was not a women’s march; it was a march for lesbianism and mothers who murdered their children and needed a way to vent their shame and guilt. That there were so many only speaks to the depth that the diabolical has reached into life on this earth. The women who marched hate God and cannot tolerate their consciences.

Feminism is inspired by a hatred that is quite literally murderous.

The Baylor Varsity Rape Team

Posted on | January 28, 2017 | 1 Comment

Tre’Von Armstead (left) and Shamycheal Chatman (right).

Shocking allegations:

A Baylor University graduate who says she was raped by football players in 2013 sued the university Friday. Her lawsuit includes an allegation that 31 Baylor football players committed at least 52 acts of rape, including five gang rapes, between 2011 and 2014 — an estimate that far exceeds the number previously provided by school officials.
Those figures could not be independently verified Friday, and Baylor officials declined to comment on their accuracy.
The woman, identified in the suit by the pseudonym Elizabeth Doe, reports being gang raped by then-Baylor football players Tre’Von Armstead and Shamycheal Chatman after a party on April 18, 2013.
Those football players were previously named as suspects in a sexual assault police report related to that date but were not charged. They could not be immediately reached for comment Friday.
The woman, a 2014 graduate of Baylor, is now suing the university for Title IX violations and negligence. . . .
The lawsuit describes a culture of sexual violence under former Baylor football coach Art Briles in which the school implemented a “show ’em a good time” policy that “used sex to sell” the football program to recruits. That included escorting underage recruits to strip clubs and arranging women to have sex with prospective players, the suit alleges.
Former assistant coach Kendal Briles — the son of the head coach — once told a Dallas-area student athlete, “Do you like white women? Because we have a lot of them at Baylor and they love football players,” according to the suit.

Well, what shall we say of this? One is tempted to make jokes — Cleavon Little in Blazing Saddles, “Hey, where the white women at?” — except for the fact that, if true, these are very serious allegations. And if we were prepared to believe the worst about Baylor’s football program, or about black athletes in particular, then we might nod along in agreement with the feminists who see this case as proof of “rape culture.”

On the other hand (he says, recognizing the problematic nature of the previously asserted hypothetical) we may doubt that the situation at Baylor was as extreme as described in this lawsuit. Was the plaintiff actually raped by Armstead and Chatman? If so, was there any demonstrable link between their actions and the words attributed to Kendal Briles? That is to say, if Armstead and Chatman did what the plaintiff alleges, was their behavior condoned by their coaches?

Sam Ukwuachu (left), Tevin Elliott (center), Coach Art Briles (right).

Baylor definitely had a problem with its football team, as a timeline published by the Waco Tribune makes clear. Two football players — Sam Ukwuachu and Tevin Elliott — were convicted for sexual assaults that occurred in 2012 and 2013. In a May 2016 meeting with Baylor’s board of regents, Coach Art Briles reportedly broke down crying:

The scandal involved 17 Baylor University women who reported sexual or domestic assaults involving 19 football players, Baylor regents told The Wall Street Journal. Those reports, made between 2011 and 2015, included four alleged gang rapes. . . .
“There was a cultural issue there that was putting winning football games above everything else, including our values,” Regent J. Cary Gray said, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. . . .
The Wall Street Journal reported that Briles met with regents in Waco two days before his May 26 firing. Briles was asked what he would have done differently, and he began to weep, according to regents’ account in the story.
“He couldn’t speak he was so upset, and all of us were,” Gray said. “Art said, ‘I delegated down, and I know I shouldn’t have. And I had a system where I was the last to know, and I should have been the first to know.’ ”
In May, the board released a “findings of fact” document, reporting a “fundamental failure” in Baylor’s Title IX implementation and a football program operating “above the rules.”

So, it would appear, Baylor admits that its football players committed numerous sexual assaults during Briles’ tenure as head coach. And we have clear evidence — the names have been named — that it was black football players who were accused of these crimes. Read more

Decimal points matter:

Two British students were nearly killed after they were accidentally given caffeine equivalent to 300 cups of coffee during a science experiment.
Northumbria University has been fined pounds 400,000 ($660,000) for the incident in March 2015 which caused Alex Rossetto and Luke Parkin to be rushed to hospital and put on dialysis. On Wednesday, a judge said the two sports science students probably only survived because they were fit and active young men.
The second-year students had volunteered to take part in a test aimed at measuring the effect of caffeine on exercise, but a basic calculation error meant they were given 100 times the correct dosage. Prosecutor Adam Farrer told Newcastle Crown Court that the pair should have been given 0.01 oz (0.3 g) of caffeine in an orange juice mix, but were in fact given 1.05oz (30 g). There is 0.003 oz (0.1 g) in the average cup of coffee.
The court heard the calculation had been done on a mobile phone, with the decimal point being put in the wrong place, and that no risk assessment had been made for the test.
Farrer said the amount of caffeine consumed “could easily have been fatal” and death has previously been reported after consumption of just 18 g. He added the students were left in a “life-threatening condition”.

But yeah, trust universities about “climate change,” because science!
