FMJRA 2.0: Every Picture Tells A Story

U.S. soccer star Megan Rapinoe knelt during the national anthem [Sept. 4] before the Seattle Reign’s game against the Chicago Red Stars “in a little nod” to NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. . . .
“Being a gay American, I know what it means to look at the flag and not have it protect all of your liberties.”

Every patriotic American knows soccer is a Communist conspiracy. The anti-American protest by lesbian soccer player Megan Rapinoe merely confirmed this, while also making clear what every patriotic American also knew, that soccer is a sport only homosexuals play. The lesbian anti-American soccer player Megan Rapinoe accused the owner of the Washington Spirit team of being a homophobe because the team “does not hold a Pride Night to celebrate the LGBT community.” Celebrating “the LGBT community” is now mandatory in soccer because (a) only gay people would pay money to watch women play soccer, and (b) more or less every woman who plays soccer is gay.

“I have had conversations with Spirit players current and past, the fact that they don’t have a Pride Night,” lesbian soccer player Megan Rapinoe told The Washington Post. “They have gay players like everyone else [in the league]. They’ve made it pretty clear, at least internally, [Pride Night] not a game they are interested in, which is homophobic to me. . . . Bit of a stretch, but yeah I do think that [Spirit owner] Bill Lynch is homophobic.”

If Bill Lynch is “homophobic,” why is he paying professional lesbians to play soccer, a game that only homosexuals pay money to watch? Of course, if the Washington Spirit fired all the lesbians on its roster, that would be homophobic, and also there wouldn’t be a team anymore, because you can’t play women’s soccer without lesbians. There are rumors there may be some heterosexual women who play professional soccer, but they’re afraid to admit it, because heterosexuality is against league policy.

You may accuse me of exaggerating, but can you name even one woman who plays professional soccer and identifies as heterosexual? Have you noticed there are no players complaining that the league doesn’t “celebrate” their heterosexuality? Why not? Because women’s soccer is gayer than the front row at a Melissa Etheridge concert.

Speaking of which, I just got off the phone with my friend Cynthia Yockey, a lesbian who hates soccer (like all good patriotic Americans do) and who actually was once in the front row of a Melissa Etheridge concert. Cynthia’s father died a few months ago, and she had to sell the family home. She moved to Iowa, where she was feeling kind of depressed until the video came out showing Hillary Clinton collapsing in New York. That made Cynthia very happy. Trump’s leading in Iowa, where they play football, like good patriotic Americans do.

Crackhead Stripper Mom Says: ‘I’ve Made a Lot of Bad Decisions in My Life’

Posted on | September 16, 2016 | 1 Comment

Reva McCullough dances at an Ohio strip club under the stage name ‘Mercedes.’

“It is better for all the world if, instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. … Three generations of imbeciles are enough.”
— U.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, 1927

Historians in recent decades have generally disapproved of Justice Holmes’ argument in the infamous Buck v. Bell decision, which involved Carrie Buck, an inmate at a Virginia mental institution. Buck was described in the Supreme Court’s ruling as “a feeble minded white woman . . . the daughter of a feeble minded mother . . . and the mother of an illegitimate feeble minded child.” That description came to mind as I read about Reva McCullough, a 25-year-old mother of three who was working as a nude dancer at a strip club in a suburb of Youngstown, Ohio, when she was interviewed by Martin Gould of the Daily Mail.

McCullough’s torso features tattoos of a fish and a cowboy boot, Gould reported, and she was wearing high-heel shoes and a G-string when he talked to her at Tiffany’s Dolls in North Lima, Ohio, where she was performing Tuesday under the stage name “Mercedes.” McCullough “admitted she had abused crack cocaine and marijuana for years,” Gould reported, although she said she stopped using drugs and “appeared bright, intelligent and sober.” McCullough told Gould: “I’ve made a lot of bad decisions in my life . . . I just went wild when I was 18.”

Reva McCullough and Devon Pasek.

McCullough has three sons by two different men. The father of two of her boys is Devon Pasek, 25. Earlier this year, Columbiana County Judge Thomas Baronzzi ordered that Pasek should be kept away from his son “due to his ongoing involvement with drug abuse or drug sales.”

Judge Baronzzi made that statement in an order that awarded custody of McCullough’s 4-year-old son to Radek’s mother, Rhonda. Read more

Ohio Homeless Man Charged With Kidnapping and Murdering Women

Posted on | September 16, 2016 | 2 Comments

The Columbus Dispatch reports:

A man arrested at a house where two bodies were found was charged Thursday with two counts of murder and one count of kidnapping.
Shawn Grate is charged with killing Stacey Stanley and a second unidentified woman whose body was found in the home. Ashland County Prosecutor Christopher Tunnell has said officials are working to identify a third body found in a house in neighboring Richland County. . . .
Grate was arrested Tuesday morning after a woman called 911 and said she had been tied up but had partly freed herself in a bedroom while her captor slept in the same room.
“I’ve been abducted,” the woman said in the 911 call. “Please hurry.”
The woman said the man had a stun gun and she was afraid of waking him. She had known him for about a month and a half, she told the dispatcher. The kidnapping charge includes a specification that Grate had allegedly abducted her “to engage in sexual activity.”
Ashland police said officers found the kidnap victim and Grate at a home that was supposed to be unoccupied. Investigators also found the remains of two bodies there, Chief David Marcelli said.
Police confirmed Wednesday that one of the bodies was that of the 43-year-old Stanley, who lived in Greenwich and was reported missing from Huron County. Stanley’s son said she had been missing since Sept. 8 after telling him she had gotten a flat tire. . . .
The coroner hasn’t determined how Stanley died or identified the second body, Ashland police said.
Grate led investigators to a third person’s remains at a property near Mansfield in neighboring Richland County, police said. He confessed to killing a woman in June at a house destroyed by fire that month, Richland County Prosecutor Bambi Couch Page told the Mansfield News Journal.
Authorities checked the Mansfield-area site Tuesday and found decomposed remains in a ravine behind the house. The remains haven’t been identified.
Record show Grate, who is homeless, has a long criminal record and served time in prison on a burglary charge beginning in 1997.

A bond hearing for Grate was scheduled for today.

Report: Hillary Clinton Is Funding Her Campaign by Stealing From the Poor

Posted on | September 16, 2016 | 1 Comment

Your latest “Crooked Hillary” update:

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is stealing from her poorest supporters by purposefully and repeatedly overcharging them after they make what’s supposed to be a one-time small donation through her official campaign website, multiple sources tell the Observer.
The overcharges are occurring so often that the fraud department at one of the nation’s biggest banks receives up to 100 phone calls a day from Clinton’s small donors asking for refunds for unauthorized charges to their bankcards made by Clinton’s campaign. One elderly Clinton donor, who has been a victim of this fraud scheme, has filed a complaint with her state’s attorney general and a representative from the office told her that they had forwarded her case to the Federal Election Commission.
“We get up to a hundred calls a day from Hillary’s low-income supporters complaining about multiple unauthorized charges,” a source, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of job security, from the Wells Fargo fraud department told the Observer. The source claims that the Clinton campaign has been pulling this stunt since Spring of this year. The Hillary for America campaign will overcharge small donors by repeatedly charging small amounts such as $20 to the bankcards of donors who made a one-time donation. . . .
“We don’t investigate fraudulent charges unless they are over $100,” the fraud specialist explained. “The Clinton campaign knows this, that’s why we don’t see any charges over the $100 amount, they’ll stop the charges just below $100. We’ll see her campaign overcharge donors by $20, $40 or $60 but never more than $100.”

Is anyone surprised that Hillary’s poll numbers are collapsing?

Police: Mother Helped Boyfriend Rape, Murder, Dismember Her Daughter, 10

Posted on | September 16, 2016 | 2 Comments

Victoria Martens, 10, was murdered Aug. 23.

Details of the grisly murder of 10-year-old Victoria Martens have shocked Albuquerque, N.M. Police say the girl was drugged, raped and murdered last month, a crime that Police Chief Gorden Eden called “the most gruesome act of evil I have ever seen in my career.” The girl’s mother, Michelle Martens, 35, was arrested along with her boyfriend, Fabian Gonzales, 31, and Gonzales’ cousin Jessica Kelley, also 31. Gonzales has a lengthy criminal history — including charges of domestic violence — and was on probation at the time of the murder. Kelley, who had previously been convicted as accessory in another woman’s rape, had just been released from prison days before the girl was murdered.

Left to right: Michelle Martens, Fabian Gonzales, Jessica Kelley.

“I think the crimes that are detailed in this criminal complaint . . . display a depth of depravity that is unfathomable to me,” Judge Chris Schultz said at an Aug. 27 hearing where he set Kelley’s bail at $1 million. “I’ve been involved in the criminal law for over 30 years and this is the most inhumane case I think I’ve come across.”

Martens and Gonzales met on a dating website about a month before Victoria was murdered, according to Albuquerque police:

Martens told investigators that she watched as Gonzales and Kelley injected Victoria with methamphetamine “to calm her down” so they could both sexually assault her. She said Gonzales then strangled her and Kelley stabbed her.
The two of them dismembered the girl’s body, according to Martens’ statement to police. . . .
Albuquerque police spokesman Tanner Tixier choked up as he said the girl’s body was so mutilated that investigators are not sure how she died. . . .
He asked the public to keep the first responders in their thoughts.
“What these gentlemen and women saw, no human being should ever have to see,” Tixier said outside the main police station downtown [Aug. 24]. Another officer cried behind Tixier as he addressed a group of reporters.

Adding to the horror were new details of the case reported this week:

The violent sexual attack that ended Victoria Martens’ life apparently was not the first time she was raped.
The 10-year-old’s mother, Michelle Martens, told police she had allowed other men to sexually assault her daughter and said she had sought out the men online and at work. She told police she had set up encounters with at least three.
One of them was a co-worker. Two others she met online, including Fabian Gonzales, 31. . . .
Martens, 35, told police she didn’t do it for the money. She set up the sexual assaults because she enjoyed watching.
Martens’ statement to police is included in nearly a dozen search warrants obtained by the [Albuquerque] Journal. . . .
Martens told police she used the dating website Plenty of Fish to look for men to have sex with Victoria and possibly Victoria’s younger sibling, according to the records.
“Michelle said ‘yeah’ when asked if she would agree with them over the internet or over the phone that they would come over and have sex with her children,” an investigator wrote in one of the documents.
It’s unclear how long she’d been arranging meetings before Victoria was killed or if police have identified any of those men. . . .
Martens said she watched Kelley hold Victoria down while Gonzales raped and strangled her. Kelley then stabbed her, and she and Gonzales dismembered her body and set her on fire in the bathtub, according to the court records. . . .
Investigators are looking into whether Martens ever videotaped or photographed the sexual assaults. They seized a camcorder and nine minidiscs, five smartphones, a thumb drive, iPod, cellphone, tablet and Kindle.
“In my training and experience, those who are interested in the sexual exploitation of children are also interested in exploiting images of children for sexual gratification,” an officer wrote in one of the search warrant affidavits.
Investigators are looking at the phones to see with whom Martens communicated prior to her daughter’s death.

The three suspects are scheduled to appear at a court hearing today, facing charges that include first-degree murder.

Hillary Is ‘Freakishly Unpopular,’ @MattYglesias Painfully Voxplains

Posted on | September 15, 2016 | 1 Comment

Harvard-educated liberal genius Matthew Yglesias.

That people don’t like Hillary Clinton is hardly news to anyone who has paid attention to American politics since 1992, but among the Manhattan-based, Ivy League-educated liberal elite, the well-known problem of Hillary’s unpopularity was something they hoped could be changed by such P.R. strategies as having her dance with Ellen DeGeneres. The Clinton machine was able to steamroller past Bernie Sanders in the Democrat primaries, and when the Republicans nominated Donald Trump, all the “experts” believed that Trump’s deficiencies as a candidate would render irrelevant whatever remained of Hillary’s unpopularity.

Alas, no. The most recent polls show a clear trend toward Trump who, in the span of five weeks, has gained more than 4 points in the Real Clear Politics average of national polls (from 39.9% on Aug. 9 to 44% as of today), while Hillary has lost 2.6 points in barely three weeks, falling from 48.4% on Aug. 27 to 45.8% as of today. That was before the release of the latest Fox News poll, which has Trump leading Clinton 46%-45%. Skeptics may laugh that off, but even the CBS/New York Times poll has Hillary clinging to a bare 2-point lead, which means that Democrats need someone to explain to them how badly their hope is sagging. Cue the Juice Box Mafia’s Harvard-educated Voxplainer, Matthew Yglesias:

Hillary Clinton’s ongoing campaign to paint Donald Trump as unacceptable in the eyes of most Americans is working. It’s just not good enough. That’s the message of the spate of recent polls showing a dramatically tightened race that Trump may even be narrowly winning.
The truth is that Trump is not doing well. Even Trump’s very best recent polls . . . show him receiving fewer votes than Republican candidates usually get. . . .
The problem is that Clinton herself is doing worse. Because despite her campaign’s emphasis on Trump’s weirdness and unpopularity, that isn’t the only force shaping this race. It’s profoundly unusual across two other dimensions — the strength of third party candidates and the weakness of the frontrunner — that will probably prevent Clinton from ever opening up a sustained comfortable lead unless she can do something to make herself better-liked.
Clinton is a freakishly unpopular frontrunner
Despite a couple of days’ worth of bad polls, Clinton still leads in national polling averages. It remains the case that if the election were held tomorrow, she would win.
In that context, her 42-56 favorable/unfavorable split in national polling is truly, freakishly bad. . . .
Lambasting Trump while being unpopular herself would be a clear winning strategy in a zero-sum head-to-head race. But in a four-sided race, where the two lesser candidates aren’t receiving much scrutiny from the press or the campaigns, it tends to have the side consequence of pressing a lot of people to [Libertarian candidate Gary] Johnson or [Green candidate Jill] Stein. . . .

You can read the rest if you enjoy watching a liberal intellectual squirm in embarrassed agony, as I’m sure you do. Yglesias deeply wants to offer an ideological explanation of Hillary’s woeful unpopularity, to say that it is the Democrat’s lack of progressive credibility that is preventing her from pulling away from Trump, but that’s not really the problem at all. The brilliance of Trump’s stock phrases — e.g., “Crooked Hillary” and the “rigged system” — is that it cuts across simple Left/Right categories to reach the kind of grassroots resentment of well-connected political insiders which has been fueling American populism since Thomas Jefferson went after John Adams’ Federalists in 1800. All the “experts” have so underestimated Trump’s mass appeal for so long that if and when the Republican does pull into a clear and sustained lead over Hillary, the Elite Pundit Class will be exposed as frauds and fools. This would be such a truly beautiful sight to behold. Their gloom would likely be as hilarious as anything since the 1988 flop of Mike Dukakis.

(Hat-tip: Memeorandum.)

UPDATE: Pain? You want to see liberals writhe in pain? Trump is beating Hillary by eight points in Iowa and leading by 3 in Ohio.
