Three Quick Thoughts

Posted on | January 12, 2017 | 1 Comment

My grandson will be here at 8 a.m., so I don’t know how much blogging I’ll get done Thursday, so here are three ideas to chew on:

1. The World Is Going Insane

Not only did Alabama lose the National Championship — how could that even be possible? — but the media’s anti-Trump jihad, which was never entirely rational, is getting crazier  as his inauguration draws near, and this is driving some people completely over the edge. CNN “reported” a story that might have been a 4chan hoax, and then CNN’s Jim Acosta started raving like a madman during Trump’s press conference. People who rely on the mainstream media are being fed a poisonous diet of Democrat propaganda based on a paranoid “Trump-is-Hitler” narrative, so that an respectable Republican senator, Jeff Sessions, gets treated like Eichmann merely because Trump appointed him to a Cabinet office. If veteran TV reporters and Democrat senators are coming unraveled because of this lunacy, can you even imagine what kind of insanity has gripped the dimwit 19-year-old Gender Studies majors who believe everything they read on Tumblr? Expect more incidents of bad craziness in the near future.

2. Never Do Online Dating — Ever

Speaking of Tumblr, some SJW feminist posted this: “Saying women have it easier in online dating is like being envious of someone whose fridge is filled with rotting food. Sure, they’ve probably got more meal options than you, but 90% of those options will make them puke.” Right — any halfway attractive woman can create a dating profile at Tinder or OKCupid and, in a matter of hours, attract lots of attention from the kind of dudes who use Tinder or OKCupid — i.e., desperate creeps. Last week, an NYPD captain infuriated feminists for what we deemed “dismissive” remarks about date rape. Beyond that controversy, however, were the facts. There had been an increase in reported rapes (13 in 2016, compared to 8 during the previous year) in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn. And among them were these two cases:

  • On May 6, a New Jersey woman who met a man on Tinder went back to his house where he raped her without a condom. She called 911 but later refused medical attention and didn’t want to go to the hospital and didn’t give a description of her attacker, police said.
  • On June 4, a woman who met up with someone through a dating website had drinks with the man and then went back to his condo where she was hoping to sleep, police said. He forced her to have oral sex with him and raped her, police said. The woman later flew back to California where she was from, police said.

Question: In terms of crime prevention, what can cops do about cases like these? And the answer is, basically nothing. If you meet somebody through a dating site, you’re spinning the roulette wheel, and the more you play, the greater your chance of ending up with a dangerous psycho. A Florida woman hooked up with a guy from Arkansas she met online, which resulted in him allegedly branding her and forcing her into prostitution. Parents should warn their teenage and young adult children to stay away from online dating sites. If you’re a girl, online dating is obviously dangerous. If you’re a guy, online dating is evidence that you’re a desperate creep. Avoid it. Period.

3. It Could Always Be Worse

You’re in America. As crazy as it is, America is still better than anyplace else in the world. Mexico, for example. The peso is at an all-time low, and investors are pulling out of Mexico, with fears of Trump’s trade policy being cited as the cause for concern. As bad as Mexico is, Venezuela is worse. Venezuela’s president closed the country’s border with Colombia this week to prevent Venezuelans from escaping the country’s economic crisis.  People want to get out of places like that and get into America, but why can’t we prevent criminal scum from overrunning our borders? In California,  an illegal immigrant from El Salvador is on the run from police who say he raped a 5-year-old girl there. As bad as California is — and I wouldn’t live in that West Coast insane asylum if you paid me — it’s still a lot better than El Salvador, or Mexico, or Venezuela.

Whether or not President Trump can “make America great again,” at least we can hope he’ll keep America from become a Third World sewer.

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN: Florida Woman Branded, Forced into Prostitution

Posted on | January 11, 2017 | 2 Comments

In October, police in Ocala, Florida, arrested Ryan Poole on a domestic violence charge. Originally from Arkansas, Poole’s criminal record included drug possession. Poole had moved to Florida in 2015 after connecting with a woman online. He was arrested again last month:

A Marion County man is accused of forcing a woman into prostitution, promoting her on “sex websites” and taking all the money she was given during those encounters, according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said Ryan Poole, 32, exploited the female victim and forced her to perform acts of prostitution in Marion, Alachua, Orange, Hillsborough and Charlotte counties.
Detectives said Poole controlled the woman’s life for about a year.
“She was very much exploited and controlled in every way and he had that control over her,” said Lauren Lettelier, Marion County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson. “And she was forced to do these things and perform these sexual acts because of his direction.”
The investigation leading to the arrest took five months.
Detectives said Poole met his victim through a social media website.
According to Poole’s arrest affidavit, Poole “took control of all her money, sold her, branded her with a tattoo, and forced her to call him ‘daddy’”.
The victim told detectives, according to the affidavit, she would “crawl to him and kiss his feet… she did “everything” for the defendant including cooking, cleaning, and household chores… she felt she was “held hostage” at her house.”
Detectives said Poole threatened the victim with violence.
A second woman was also solicited to perform “online sexual activities,” but she parted ways with Poole and the victim after one session, according to a news release.

 

 

More details from the Ocala Star Banner:

She said Poole came from Little Rock, Arkansas, to the Ocala area and they met online. She said they exchanged messages and met in The Villages in late July 2015.
The woman, who has children, said that, at the time, she was married but living apart from her husband. She said she dated Poole and they lived together from August 2015 to August 2016.
Not long after moving in together, the victim said, Poole demanded that she give him all her money from her jobs, including prostitution.
The prostitution began when Poole suggested she work as an exotic dancer since she wasn’t making much money. She alleges Poole sold marijuana and cocaine and had women working for him in Arkansas.
She said she was forced to follow rules and routines and was not allowed to look anyone in the eye.
She said Poole read her excerpts on “white slavery,” which she described as a “a black man pimps a white woman.” She said she was forbidden from having black clientele because Poole told her they would try to take her.

For some reason, feminists haven’t noticed this crime. Jessica Valenti is too busy ranting about Donald Trump’s press conference . . .

Manhunt for Markeith Loyd, Accused of Killing Female Police Officer in Orlando

Posted on | January 11, 2017 | 1 Comment

 

Police say he is armed and dangerous:

It has been two days since an Orlando police officer was shot dead, and while the community continues to grieve, hundreds of law enforcement officers are still searching for the suspected killer.
Orlando police spokeswoman Wanda Miglio said Wednesday morning that investigators were still looking for 41-year-old Markeith Loyd. She declined to give any other updates. . . .
Authorities have been trying to find Loyd since Dec. 13, when he’s accused of fatally shooting his pregnant ex-girlfriend at her home in Pine Hills, a high crime neighborhood just outside the city.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office reported Wednesday that it had spent hundreds of hours trying to find Loyd in the days following that shooting and before Monday, when Loyd is suspected of killing Orlando Master Sgt. Debra Clayton when she confronted him at a Wal-Mart. . . .
Chief John Mina has assured Orlando residents that investigators are working around the clock tracking down leads.
Authorities set up a command post at Orange County’s emergency operations center and have teams of detectives tracking down leads, he said Tuesday.
The FBI and Homeland Security also have also chipped in, partnering with local agencies to find Loyd.

The police sergeant Markeith Loyd is accused of murdering:

Olando police Master Sgt. Debra Clayton didn’t have to stay at her friend’s house for two days to take care of her after surgery.
She was not expected to spend countless hours volunteering with kids in the “dragon boat” program or at community forums calling for an end to the violence.
The 17-year Orlando police veteran, newlywed and mother of an adult son did not need to start a nonprofit for young women and girls who were victims of violence.
But she did, anyway.
“I didn’t know anyone with a bigger heart,” said friend Teresa Sokolovic, holding back tears. “She was an angel.”
Clayton, one of the first officers to respond to the Pulse shooting in June, was gunned down Monday morning near a Wal-Mart on John Young Parkway and Princeton Street while confronting 41-year-old Markeith Loyd, who is wanted for murder. . . .
Orlando police Chief John Mina hailed her as a hero.
“She gave her life protecting the community that she loved,” he said.

Believe it or not, three people have been arrested for allegedly helping the man suspected of killing this heroic cop:

Authorities said they have arrested a third person who may have been helping murder suspect Markeith Loyd evade arrest.
Jamesia Slaughter was being questioned around 7 p.m. Wednesday and her arrest was announced around 8:15 p.m. The news comes after Zarghee Mayan, 33, was arrested Tuesday night and Loyd’s niece, Lakensha Smith-Loyd, 27, was arrested Wednesday afternoon.
Mayan and Smith-Loyd were both charged with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder. Officials have not yet said what charges Slaughter will be facing.
Deputies said Mayan has seen Loyd multiple times since he fatally shot his pregnant ex-girlfriend, Sade Dixon, in Pine Hills on Dec. 13. In one of those encounters, the two hugged and Mayan realized Loyd was wearing a bulletproof vest.
Mayan gave Loyd money and food in the days after Dixon’s murder, according to an arrest affidavit. He also gave Smith-Loyd $200 to give to her uncle.

Or Maybe You’re Just Crazy

Posted on | January 11, 2017 | 2 Comments

Allegedly true tales from Feminist Tumblr:

Liberal feminism is the reason I became a camgirl and stripped and signed up for sugar daddy websites literally within a week of my 18th birthday. I was primed and conditioned for that sh– by a patriarchal society teaching me to allow my sexuality to be exploited and allow myself to be objectified and dehumanized. And I was further primed and conditioned by liberal feminism promising me that was okay and empowering.

Now she’s a Marxist lesbian radical feminist, which is arguably less crazy than being a camgirl/stripper hustling for sugar daddies, but still crazy.

What’s strange is that, despite “patriarchal society,” not every girl becomes a camgirl/stripper when she’s 18. And very few become lesbian radical feminists. How is this even possible? It’s a mystery.

Feminists ask, “Don’t you heterosexual white males get tired from doing all this exploitation, objectification and dehumanization 24/7?” Nah.

Just another day’s work for White Imperialist Heteropatriarchy, Inc.

Oppressing the World™ since . . . forever, basically.

Intolerance at Berkeley as Faculty Demand Gay Immigrant Stay Off Campus

Posted on | January 11, 2017 | 2 Comments

 

Because the gay immigrant in question is pro-Trump:

Twelve UC Berkeley professors sent a letter to Chancellor Nicholas Dirks requesting that campus administration cancel Berkeley College Republican’s event for Milo Yiannopoulos.
Calling his conduct “harassment, slander, defamation, and hate speech,” the letter cites examples of Yiannopoulos’s words and actions that the professors say violate UC Berkeley’s code of conduct as reasons to cancel Yiannopoulos’s talk Feb. 1. Since the letter was sent Jan. 3, nearly 90 additional professors have signed it, giving their support.
“We believe wholeheartedly in free speech and in the presentation of views that may be controversial or disturbing, politically or personally,” said David Landreth, one of the 12 professors who authored the letter, in an email. “However, Mr. Yiannopoulos’s public talks routinely veer into direct personal harassment of individuals; they often also call for such harassment and aim to incite it.”
The letter said women were referred to as “cunts” at Yiannopoulos’s talk at the University of West Virginia and transgender people were called “mentally ill” at his talk at the University of Delaware. As of July this year, Yiannopoulos was also banned from Twitter for encouraging his followers to attack an African American actress with hate speech, according to the letter.

Have any of these Berkeley professors said a word about their student Pablo Gomez Jr. being accused of murdering a woman last week? Of course, Gomez was a member of the Queer Alliance Resource Center at Berkeley, he harassed Republicans on the UC-Berkeley campus, and his “hate speech” on Twitter was directed toward white people, so I guess the faculty don’t care whether he stabbed a white woman to death.

Meanwhile, College Republicans at Berkeley are getting doxed, and I blame the climate of hate that the Cal faculty has incited on campus.

Berkeley Murder Suspect Pablo Gomez Harassed College Republicans Last Year

Posted on | January 10, 2017 | 2 Comments

 

Yesterday we reported about Pablo Gomez Jr., the radical activist at the University of California-Berkeley accused of murdering one woman and seriously stabbing another. The College Fix has video that shows Gomez harassing College Republicans at a campus event last September:

A Chicanx/Latinx Studies major, Gomez is involved with Berkeley’s Queer Alliance Resource Center and “is a senior climate action fellow at Alliance for Climate Education,” according to their respective Facebook pages.
Sharp-eyed College Fix readers may recognize the student as one of the activists who confronted the Berkeley College Republicans back in September. In the video, Gomez is shown grabbing their Donald Trump cut-out, telling them it’s “f*cked up.”
Berkeley CR President José Diaz had said at the time that the agitators demanded that the cut-out be removed “due to the perceived offensive nature that it represents towards them.”

 

Berkeley police have not discussed the motive for Gomez’s alleged murder of Emilie Inman and the stabbing of another women, who survived. However, it appears the murder victim did not know her killer:

“The suspect knew his initial victim (the woman who is still alive). After attacking her, he went to the house on Ashby thinking that an old friend/acquaintance still lived there. She had moved out over a year ago but the unfortunate second victim (who was killed) was there, studying. . . . She answered the door and the rest is history.”

Family and friends are mourning 27-year-old Emilie Inman:

On Monday, KRON4 spoke with friends of Emilie Inman, who describe her as an artist, musician, and teacher who impacted so many lives.
“It doesn’t really fully feel like she’s gone because her energy is in all of her friends and her family,” friend Robin Liepmin said. . . .
Liepmin found out about Inman’s murder on Facebook.
“Emilie was a really creative, beautiful individual, completely unique and just had so much light and so many gifts to bring to the world,” Liepmin said.
Inman worked at Sienna Ranch in Lafayette.
The organization describes itself as a family-owned business. Its focus is on youth families, environment, and community. . . .
Inman was a fifth and sixth-grade science instructor.
“She had a lot of aspirations, there was music, she loved kids, and she worked with kids specifically doing outdoor education, and she had a lot of faith in the youth, and just saw the youth as being one of the most important parts of making the world a better place,” Liepmin said.

The victim was a “beautiful individual” who “loved kids” and was all about “making the world a better place,” whereas Pablo Gomez Jr. is a queer activist who is all about hate. And stabbing women, allegedly.
