Speaking of indefensible shamelessness....

Jennifer Granholm has penned an opinion piece for CNN. Granholm is the former Democratic governor of Michigan. She is also a very prominent supporter of Hillary Clinton.

In this op-ed, she has called for Donald Trump to drop out of the race for the Presidency - for the good of the country, of course. Her reason for doing so? It's that The Donald just isn't honest enough for America.

From this we can deduce that either (a) Granholm is dumber than a sack of shit, or (b) is at least as dishonest as Hillary, who can't even tell you the sun will rise in the east tomorrow. (Of course, it could be that Hillary can't tell you the last because she's suffering from senile dementia.)

This kind of stuff simply beggars belief.

Shameful

So the President of the USA and a bunch of other alleged world leaders got together in Paris to determine how to make the world a poorer place. I refer, of course, to the climate change conference.

While in Paris, the President stated that THIS, talking about climate change, was how to repudiate ISIS, who, naturally, doesn't give a fuck about climaate change because they're having too much fun chopping off people's heads, burning them alive, throwing teh gays off high places and indulging in sex slavery with women and children. Way to go, Barry O! That'll show 'em!

Even worse, the world's leaders all congratulated themselves on the courage they showed for showing up to repudiate the terrorists in this stupid manner. Courage? Paris was probably more heavily guarded during the conference than the Federal gold Depository at Fort Knox, Kentucky. The French government even used the recent "man-made disaster" to tighten up security by putting climate change protesters (those who basically SUPPORT the world leaders  who want to make everyone poorer!) under house arrest.

So, they claimed they were repudiating terrorism and showing courage while not addressing terrorism at all (which  is okay, as the conference WAS about climate change) and while the wimps congratulated themselves on their great courage. Truly, Obama deserves the Congressional Metal of Honor for this - in his own mind.

But that isn't what was shameful to me. I don't expect anything else other than extreme vanity and self-serving rationalizations from the leaders of the world.

No, what's shameful is that pretty much no one in the press called them on it, nor does anyone really seem to care. Obama i eating a $2,000 dollar a plate meal in some palace in Paris while ISIS burns people to death, he calls HIMSELF the courageous one, and our media laps it up.

Pathetic.

This is not a wake up call

To those claiming this is a "wake up call" for Europe, the US, or whomever:

No, it isn't. It isn't even new. It isn't even new to Europe. They've attacked the subways of London (7/7/2005, 57 dead, 700 wounded) and the train stations of Spain (3/11/2004, 191 dead, 1800 wounded). In 2002 Moscow experienced a massacre in a theater that killed 133 and injured over 700. On 9/1/2004, an attack on a school killed hundreds in Beslan, Russia - 186 dead children, 148 other hostages killed, 10 others dead, 10 special forces. Locals state that over 200 remain missing.

I don't think I need to mention what has happened on US soil.

So, not new, not new to Europe. New to Paris, at this scale, but the Charlie Hebdo massacre from earlier this year (which also included an attack on a Jewish grocer) presaged this attack.

And what are you expecting people to wake up for? That Muslim fanatics love bathing in the blood of infidels? That letting in millions of Muslims into a non-Muslim country is a bad idea? That maybe Assad's Ba'athist government in Syria isn't so awful afterall?

Not going to happen. Obama can't even admit that it is Muslims doing the killing, and despite everything the leaders of Europe also won't admit that Islam is a problem. (And Bush was no better than Obama, for those wondering.) The people running the show there and here WANT more refugees from the Third World, because the want the internal strife and distrust that brings, since such strife makes those in the know richer and more powerful. If some of those refugees are blood-thirsty killers, that will be EVEN BETTER from their standpoint.

And even if those things weren't true, our leaders will not admit that Assad's government might be the best possible solution in Syria. For one thing, it would mean admitting that they were wrong, and that doesn't happen. People don't realize it, but the US has allied itself with al Qaeda in Syria in order to oust Assad. Al pig-fucking Qaeda! We call them al Nusra, and say we aren't allied with them, but we've been protesting that the Russians are bombing the "good rebels" in Syria, when the Russians have primarily focusedd on our buddies al Nusra.

We're in bed with the people behind the 9/11 attacks. That is how fucked up our government is right now.

So, this ain't no wake-up call, and even if it was, what is anyone going to do - hit the snooze button?

Prediction Time: University of Missouri Edition

The Cat is back.

Predictions:

1. At least two of the incidents that prompted the trouble of the University of Missouri will be shown to be hoaxes. I actually think all of them are hoaxes, as reported, but given the nature of the incidents it will be hard to prove that they occurred as reported, much less prove they didn't. For example, does anyone really believe that a bunch of black men were approached at night by a lone white man who called them a "nigger" and that the black men cowered in fear, as opposed to the black men beating the white man within an inch of his life? And a Nazi sympathizer will not draw a Swastika in shit, no more than a devout Christian would draw a Crucifix or Jesus Fish in shit. The Crucifix and Jesus Fish are holy symbols to Christians, and they wouldn't disrespect them like that.  Similarly for Swastikas and Nazi sympathizers.
2. If any of the incidents are proven to be hoaxes, the hoaxers will not be punished, but will instead be lauded. They'll get a second trip to the White House to visit Barack Obama (I have no doubt the Barry's people are already working on the first visit), their own special with Oprah, etc, etc.
3. Within 14 months another college football team attempt to fire their university leadership. If successful, it will happen again within another 12 months, and at that point the school leadership will instead fire several people within the athletic department, remove scholarships from the offending players, and possible suspend the entire football team. 
4. I expect that schools will quietly start looking into purchasing insurance policies to cover fees and penalties for cancelled football games in coming weeks. No idea how that will go.
5. No major university president will have the guts of Robert Maynard Hutchins to eliminate football. Of course, Hutchins didn't have to deal with revenue streams as large as modern revenue streams, so maybe he wouldn't either.

Some other observations. Those whites congratulating this action don't seem to be getting it. Two men (at least) have lost their jobs, not because they did anything wrong, or encouraged wrong-doing, or were incompetent, but were instead fired solely because they were white, straight, and had become the targets of a faggoty black attention whore. (Who knows why, or cares why? Ah, who am I kidding, I have some speculation below.)

And to hear certain whites talk, they also don't understand that the people protesting (not so peacefully - let's dispel that notion, as they've run in front of moving vehicles attempting to cause crashes, clashed with police when faced with lawful and sensible orders, have threatened reporters, have called for and achieved harm to other individuals, etc) don't care if the University President and others are racist or not, by the old notions of what constitutes racism. They're white, and as such, they're automatically racist, and deserve every bad thing that happens to them. If the whites supporting the protesters think that their sympathies with this kind of disgusting behavior will make them immune to such treatment themselves, then they're even more stupid than they are weak-minded.

It comes down to this: When you reward bad behavior, you will get more of it. We rewarded Michael Brown (posthumously, 'tis true) for acting like a thug, so blacks in Ferguson burned down their town. We rewarded blacks in Ferguson for burning down their town, so blacks in Baltimore burned down their city. Now that those blacks in Baltimore have been rearded for burning down their city, they've gone on a historic murder spree.

Having seen all those rewards, you now have a effete faggoty black attention whore wanting HIS share of the attention.

And why wouldn't he? Look at how horribly he has been treated at Mizzou! He's been voted student body president at a school that's only 8% black. I hear he was voted Home Coming King. What awful mistreatment! (Imagine the old white folks who came to Home Coming and found out that now their alma mater is being run by a little black grievance queen. Let's see how Mizzou does with endowment bequests in coming years. They may find that caving in was actually a financial mistake.)

But the little queen is too effete to riot or murder anyone, so instead he'll have an attack of the vapors. Given that he has a megaphone and some political talent, he got a LOT of attention for his particular attack of the vapors. It's funny that the most fag-bashing group of brothers on campus decided to back him up, but perhaps the Mizzou football team doesn't want anyone to notice that they're a bunch of rapists. Expect more in the future: more college attending faggoty black attention whores to cause a ruckus, more black football players to back them up with the tacit acknowledgement that they'll get to rape some white bitches. (It's not like a black faggot is going to give a shit about some white woman.)

I've never really bought the hype about the so-called Greatest Generation. They were hit with problems, and they endured them. What else were they going to do? They were led by older generations through the Depression and WWII, so they didn't do everything themselves, and didn't have to make the critical decisions. Regardless of the hype, and my aversion to it, they DID accomplish great things, and deserve their share of the credit for their achievements. But now as they fade from the scene, they're being replaced by an early and strong candidate for the Worst Generation. The Millennials, Generation Wuss, are proving to be completely worthless.

BONUS MATERIAL: The war on Free Speech at Yale continues. How DARE you wear any costume that hasn't been pre-approved by the commissars? And speaking of famous hoaxes, UVA frat to sue Rolling Stone Magazine for $25,000,000. Here's hoping they get much more than that. After all, we've just seen at Mizzou that being called a racist is a career wrecker. Oh, wait, they've been called rapists, not racists. I guess that's a ticket to getting football scholarships, so maybe they won't win.

Bonus rants

A few more rants, just for shits and grins.

• Seeing a lot of citing of gun violence stats. Invariably, these stats include suicides. This is at least somewhat dishonest, especially coming from the people who want to encourage suicide and make it a side business for the medical industry. They're lying coming and going on this front.

• A very stilted discussion from the assholes on the left in order to ignore the religious dimension to this. From President Asshole on down, the left has been very critical of Christians in this country at every turn. Now, that negativity is paying off with violence against Christians, and they're silent on THAT dimension. Every time some goddamned towel head has someone call them a goddamn towel head, the President takes to the TV to wag his finger at everyone (his core competency) and tell them to shut the fuck up and respect the Mohammedans, what with their female genital mutilation, their pedophilia, their suicide bombings, and whatnot. Because if we don't something bad might happen. Guess what, asshole, you've been mocking Christians publicly (except for Black Liberation "theologians", of course) your entire career, and now they're getting shot. Own it, you fucking shit, and all the rest of you on the left. FULL DISCLOSURE: I'm an atheist myself, but I find the endless sneering contempt for Christians of all stripes rather offensive - especially given that the same people bend over backwards for those savage camel fuckers from the Middle East.

•  I am darkly amused that the killer is at least partly black, and an immigrant, and may possibly be another Mohammedan*. Paging Donald Trump, paging Donald Trump!

* I call them Mohammedans precisely to show my contempt for them. They claim they worship Allah, but man, you can really piss them off by saying that maybe Mohammad had flees in his beard - or even by just drawing a picture of him. That's just one of many, many reasons to hold them in contempt, but by itself it is enough.

A brief rant about gun control

With the latest mass shooting at a community college the other day we once again got a chance to see President Asshole use the opportunity to climb over the bodies of the dead to state that he should be given even more power and authority to do whatever the fuck he wants*. This isn't a surprise, as that's who he is.

It's also not a surprise to see that a legion of Democrats, progressives and leftists have echoed the call.

But here's where I rant. Suppose, for the sake of argument, that they get what they want, and the Second Amendment gets replaced with an amendment banning the private ownership of firearms. How do they propose to disarm the country and confiscate all the weapons? I live in a rather violent neighborhood, with lots of gangbangers and wannabes. Guys who pride themselves on shooting anyone in the vicinity when they feel like they've been dissed, whether or not the people getting shot had anything to do with it. Do you really think they're going to just hand over their weapons peacefully? There's no chance in Hell of that happening. The only way to disarm my little town would be to surround it with the Army & National Guard, and then march in like an invading army. Every place would have to be searched, and a lot of people would have to be killed. In fact, they'd have to kill a lot of innocents, too, because that's how a battle in an urban/suburban setting works.**

Mind you, the people that want this done are up in arms (figuratively, of course) every time a policeman stops someone who is actually committing a crime. (See, for example, Michael Brown in Ferguson.) How the fuck do they think they're actually going to disarm people if they don't want the police to even stop people in the commission of crimes?

No, this is not about gun violence, or mass shootings. This is about trying to win points for the next election. People like Amanda Marcotte don't give a shit about people getting shot (so long as it isn't them), they only care about winning political battles for their side. You know that neither she nor the President give a shit about all the folks getting shot in places like Chicago and Baltimore this year. They just don't care about anyone not in their social circles, and their social circles are rather select. The rest of us are only here as a backdrop to their fabulousness. We've got no more meaning to them than pit bulls had to Michael Vick, and we can expect no more sympathy.

* Note, however, that when the President HAS had authority, he hasn't bothered to do jack shit. Example: He disappeared for days after a US Ambassador got ass raped to death by a bunch of camel fucking Mohammedans. He didn't bother doing anything to insure security for US personnel in Libya before that, he ducked taking any responsibility after it, and still hasn't really explained what happened, nor has he done anything about the matter. but hey, he;'s got more import things to do, like make certain that Ferguson, Missouri and Baltimore, Maryland burn so that he can try and drum up a few more votes for his party in 2016.

** Not to mention some much more law abiding communities that happen to be full of gun nuts. Those guys are paranoid the government is going to come and get them anyway. How do you think a move to disarm them would work?

Is this Pope stupid or evil?

The Pope pontificates on the current refugee crisis, and manages to sound even more stupid than usual.

In an interview with Portugal-based Radio Renascença aired yesterday, Pope Francis declared that the current refugee crisis in Europe is being caused by a “bad, unjust” socio-economic system that worships “the god of money.”

In the interview, where questions were posed in Portuguese and the responses were given by Pope Francis in Spanish, the pontiff said coveting money will bring about both human and ecological ruin:

“This is the tip of the iceberg. We see these refugees, these poor people who are escaping from war, escaping from hunger, but that’s the tip of the iceberg. But underlying that is the cause, and the cause is a socio-economic system that is bad, unjust, because within an economic system, within everything, within the world, speaking of the ecological problem, within the socio-economic society, in politics, the person always has to be the center. And today’s dominant economic system has removed the person from the center, and at the center is the god of money. It’s the fashionable god today. I mean, there are statistics. I don’t remember very well, but — this is not exact and I could be making a mistake— 17% of the population has 80% of the wealth.”

Alternately, the Western nations, and those who have followed Western models of governance, economics, science, and, yes, social justice for their own, have made something of themselves while places like Syria have made nothing. The West isn't helping these places with its horrible foreign policy mistakes, but the basic problem in Syria is that the best ruler they've had since gaining their independence from the Ottomans was Daddy Assad, who once killed somewhere between 10,000 to 20,000 of his own people to punish the city of Hama for revolting against his rule. And yes, he was justified to do so, as the rebels weren't the dentists and shop keepers Obama likes to make fun of, but were instead the Muslim Brotherhood.

How bad is the Muslim Brotherhood? They think Egyptian society is too liberal. You know, the Egyptian society which mutilates over 90% of little girls by cutting up their genitalia. (As a father with a daughter, I find Egyptian men particularly sickening for this practice. How can they do this to their little girls?)

The West hasn't had anything to do with any of that. And that's the best the Arabs can do.

So no, Pope Francis, the problem isn't that the West is greedy. The problem is that the rest of the world needs people like Daddy Assad rto keep it from going completely to Hell.

Anerica: Land of Pervert Rulers

I like how the make-up of the whole country now needs to be determined by the sexual fetishes of a few people. Your favorite athlete decides he wants to be a lady-boy? Government funded lady-boy sex change operations for everyone! You're a white girl who love-love-LOVES the dark meat? Everyone get your hair permed and put on LOTS of artificial tanner. The establishment candidate for president loves the eating of the Mexican pussy*? Let's import a hundred million Mexicans!

Drugs and bitches and junkies and fags
Artificial phonies, I hate it, hate it

Death, death, death is the price I pay
It's a sick world, what can I say?
No such thing as an even break
They steal, they cheat, they take, take, take

Drugs and bitches and commies and queers
Artificial phonies, I hate it, hate it**

* How do I know that? Well, we are what we eat....

** Don't know the lines? Look 'em up!

What did anyone expect?

Confirmation of something obvious to anyone with even the most passing association with women's fashion, especially at the high end.

WWD announced that the forthcoming fall campaign by fashion-forward Swedish brand Acne Studios will star Frasse Johansson, who is a 12-year-old boy. Who is modeling very expensive clothes meant for adult women.

“Walking in high heels is so hard,” Johansson told WWD. “I don’t understand how anyone can walk in them.” Welcome to the patriarchy, kiddo, enjoy your blissfully brief stay.

Jonny Johansson, Acne’s creative director (and also the model’s father), asked his son to be a part of the campaign because he believes the boy represents the “new breed” of consumer, for whom the “cut and character” of clothing is paramount, “rather than seeking approval from society or [following] set norms.”

First, this can't be a surprise, given that the industry is dominated by faeries & queers. They've got no interest in the bodies of mature women: not the more obvious signs of womanhood (breasts, hips, type and amount of subcutaneous fat*), and certainly not vaginas. And a great many of them enjoy the form of pubescent boys. (I'll note that chicken hawk is getting redefined to mean an old gay man who chases "men in the 20s" according to the Urban Dictionary, but that's crap. Chicken hawks chase after newly pubescent boys. See Agnostic's blog for more on this topic.) So it's no surprise that this is the form they design clothes for. 

Second, there's a reason that high fashion doesn't appeal to straight men, not even in its application: For clothing to be truly flattering, it needs to be designed to suit the shape of the body wearing it. (This is a necessary but not sufficient condition.) High fashion (and the medium fashion which derives from it) is designed to suit the wet dreams of a bunch of fags who want the age of consent lowered to the age of twelve so they can butt fuck boys without getting arrested. It isn't designed to flatter the bodies of women. Why women put up with this is beyond me. All the poofters need to be chased out of the business of designing clothes for women - only women and straight men should be doing it. (Don't bother telling me there are already such people about - I know. But the gay mafia dominates.)

But this also highlights a trend that has come into stark relief with the coming out of Caitlyn Jenner. Increasingly, certain men are using the current fashions in customs & mores to take over roles for women. Besides Bruce, there's at least one other drag queen who frequently gets mentioned because he is one of the highest paid "female" CEOs in the country. A certain Hollywood director/writer/producer is now one of the most prominent "woman" directors out there. (Sorry Babs, Penny and Katheryn, you guys just aren't faggy enough to be the biggest female director in Hollywood.)

In another case, an international court has ruled that "women" with undescended testicles can compete as women in international competitions. In any sport where power and strength are dominant, women simply won't be able to compete. It's only a matter of time before trannies break the barrier, too. Bruce is probably too old to win the heptathlon now, but there will be others.

And now, 12 year-old boys are going to take the jobs formerly reserved for anorexic, heroin addicted young women.

Women are so screwed. Though only in the figurative sense, as the people screwing them couldn't care less about pussy if you cut their balls off. Welcome to the Twenty-First Century.

* Woman, especially those in their childbearing years, have both more subcutaneous fat under their skin than men (assume both are fit), and it is structured differently. Straight men, and women, can see the difference in skin of males and females. Even the prettiest of men never achieve that kind of softness of look to their skin. Thus, Caitlyn can, at best, look like a post-menopausal woman. Had he made this switch when he was 25, he'd have still looked like a man in that regard no matter what he did otherwise.

At least he's being honest.

A pro-abortion writer at the Daily Beast admits that the videos that have been released about Planned Parenthood have made him re-think his position a bit. (A bit of nagging by his wife also seems to be at play.

But that isn't what caught my attention. It was this bit about deciding to be pro-abortion back in 1985.

After all this, I still consider myself pro-choice, as I have for the last 30 years. I staked out this position during my freshmen year in college. Even then, I understood the abortion debate was a tug-of-war between competing rights—those of the mother versus those of an unborn baby. I sided with the mother. And I tried not to think about the baby.

All this was happening in the 1980s, which was a particularly tense time in the abortion debate. Americans were at each other’s throats. Protesters picketed the offices of abortion providers. Clinics were bombed or set on fire. Doctors who performed abortions were being threatened. The Moral Majority, Operation Rescue, and the Republican Party seemed an intolerant lot. I couldn’t imagine siding with them, so I lined up on the pro-choice side. [emphasis added]

Yep, his stance on the abortion issue was dictated by tribal affiliation as much as any moral considerations.

This is actually pretty common. It's little different from how people decide on which football teams to root for, really. Think of this next time you wonder why the sides completely refuse to listen to each other - it's Alabama vs. Auburn, but with actual consequences to real people.

More stupidity, exactly as expected.

The White House came out today stating that the shooting in VA meant that we needed more gun control legislation. They said this without knowing any of the relevant particulars of the case. That was stupid, and easily predictable.

It's interesting that the President couldn't wait to get out in front of this story and cover himself in the blood of the victims before their bodies are even cold. Interesting in the way that it completely isn't, because it is to be expected from someone this completely crass and disgusting. (The Donald has a long way to go before he is as crass as Obama.) More interesting is that the President didn't bother to give any praise to the Americans who stopped a terrorist in Europe last week, even though the Socialist President of France quickly gave the men the highest award the nation of France has to offer.

...

Meanwhile, it seems the killer in question in VA, a gay, black radical who wanted to kill blonde white chicks and start a race war, is completely fucking nuts. If THAT narrative holds up (I'll give that a about a 11-1 chance of staying true), the problem won't be gun laws, it will be mental health monitoring procedures. But that remains to be seen. Let's at least let families, friends, co-workers, and live viewers of the shooting* have a few days to compose themselves, grieve, and bury their dead before we get on with the usual political nonsense.

* I only mean those that were watching live, or perhaps those that watch the station fairly often. Those watching live saw three people shot and two murdered while watching a fluff piece about local tourism. That isn't the same as being there, but is still a shock. Those who have watched the footage since? That's your own damned fault, and you should have know better. If you want to be voyeuristic fuckwads, watch (legal) sex porn, not murder porn.

The stupid piles up so fast you need a helicopter to stay above it.

This morning's execution of two local TV news people on live TV in Roanoke VA has really brought out the stupid in people. (And let's not forget that a third victim was shot, though she appears to have simply been an incidental target. Last I checked it sounded like the third victim is expected to live, though I've heard nothing on the nature of her injuries.)

On Twitter I didn't even have to go looking for it. The English declared themselves morally superior to Americans, and pointed out that the same people that support gun rights also support slavery. Yes, seriously, I saw this, but I'm not giving any of the fools mentioned in this post any publicity. (And it is embarrassing to see that English teachers professional educators don't know the history of their own country, and that they don't realize that 1776 comes after any date prior to 1776.)

Others took different angles. I saw one Twit from Chicago, and whose profile claimed he were originally from Detroit, point out that the area in question voted heavily for Romney in 2012, and were therefore likely very pro-gun, and therefore it was their fault. The irony of the Twit being from Chicago and Detroit completely escaped him. Nor did this black man (based on his picture) make any note of the fact that the shooter was a black man, which had already been noticed by that point in time.

Someone else stated that if there had been MORE people with guns around they would have prevented this. The attack, by every account I have read and seen (NOTE: I have not watched either the live news feed of the attack or the killer's own footage of the attack, and won't), was an ambush. If everyone there had had a concealed carry permit and was packing, it would have made ZERO DIFFERENCE, as the attack was a surprise and over in seconds.

The stupid is all around for this one.

SIDE NOTE: Drudge has a shot up at the top of his page of the reporter and her interview subject apparently at the moment they're being shot. That is in exceptionally poor taste, even for a self-acknowledged muck-raker such as Matt Drudge. Bad form. Cum-stained dresses are one thing, but this is something different.

Deeply confused

Not sure if I'm supposed to stand up and cheer when a woman is getting punched in the head until she's unconscious and has brain damage, or if I should stand up and boo. Think I'll just find a sunny spot and take a nap instead.

Thirty years of Thug Life

So the N.W.A. movie is coming out. Obviously, the members of N.W.A., the director, and the stars of the film are being asked about social justice. Also obviously, they're going to ignore the fact that for 30 years the members of N.W.A. glorified thug life, criminality, treating women and their own children like shit*, and have generally inspired their listeners to be the worst human beings they can be. (So will the interviewers, of course.)

Is it any surprise that the guys behind "Fuck tha Police" would think that Michael Brown was a great guy for assaulting people, stealing stuff that didn't belong to him, and later attempting to take a police officer's weapon and kill him with it? No, of course it isn't. Nor is it a surprise that they think Brown (and any other black thug) should be allowed to do whatever they want to whomever they like. Just like it isn't a surprise that they hate teachers and are too stupid to learn how to spell.

Unfortunately, in America these days being stupid, violent, and anti-social is better recipe for success than the opposite.

"O tempora, o mores!"

* It's impossible to brag about how many women have had your children without treating the children like shit, too. The women are cum dumpsters, the children just little chits to ignore, save for the welfare checks.
