Gun Control "Momentum"

More thoughts on the circus that has become the Florida shooting.

● If You Want To Understand The Left: Look at the fact that Trump is offering them more gun control than any Democrat has ever offered and yet none of them can stop smearing him. To leftist drones, "who" offers the policy is even more important than the policy itself. Moreover, their leaders don't actually want their policies in place... it's bad for fundraising.

● It's Racist: According to an AP article, "as the country listens to Florida teens, black lives matter feel ignored." Ha ha. Good. That's the difference between having a genuine cause and using paranoid bullsh*t to try to push a leftist agenda to remake America in lunatic ways. But never fear, their "hurt" will translate into quality paranoia and racist victimhood and they will feel quite smug.

● Media Whore: The media finally has their pet. The pretty boy's name is David Hogg and he's just the cutest media-made martyr. Indeed, he's well-positioned to be the next Sandra Fluke as he runs around smearing every Republican he can find and spewing leftist talking points for his media overlords. His fifteen minutes should burn out in about two weeks when the next big thing happens.

● Idiot: Every once in a while, I can't stop myself from posting comments at other places. Today, I posted at the Daily Mail and I thought I would discuss this with you. Piers Morgan wrote an article attacking the idea of arming teachers and then also attacking Samuel L. Jackson for hypocrisy. Morgan noted that even trained police only hit their targets 17% of the time in a genuine firefight (according to a study of the NYPD). Ergo, he concluded that arming teachers was a horrible idea. But he's wrong. Here's why:

(1) He forgets the issue of deterrence. Even crazy people attack only soft targets. If shooters understand that schools are armed, most will likely avoid schools as targets. Peirs entirely ignores this effect.

(2) Piers's own numbers argue for a counter-shooter. If trained cops get that inaccurate just because someone is shooting back, then having someone shoot back should have a similar effect on shooters.

(3) The news (despite ignoring these stories) is full of people who take down shooters all the time. Hence, it makes sense to let trained people try. 17% chance per bullet > 0% chance

Interestingly, some wuss from London responded, "But what if they are facing an AR-15?" Well, wank-off, let's think about that. First, what does that matter? You can take down anyone carrying anything with any other gun. So this is an illogical response. Secondly, how does the fact they own an AR-15 reduce the deterrence factor or the accuracy issue? Third, this is false logic. I say this: having teachers with guns provides three benefits. He responds (essentially) having an AR-15 wipes these out. Ok. Even if that's true (and it's not), the answer is still so what? Just because this plan may not be effective against one type of gun doesn't mean it's ineffective in other situations. Indeed, his "logic" is basically since your plan can't work in all circumstances, we should never try it. That's stupid. In fact, it's so stupid is has to be disingenuous. But you see the left make this argument a lot... it's how they duck out of losing points.

● It's A Mistake: The right has made a mistake attacking this security guard who didn't charge in like Trump and this army of useless couch potatoes would have... hooha! First, the guy is going to come up with a valid explanation (sounds like he already has in fact) and all these couch Rambos are going to look like fools. Secondly, it's a bad look to attack law enforcement. Third, cowardice is a ridiculous charge for people to lob unless they were there and themselves acted heroically.

That said, there is one narrow way that this attack pays off handsomely. Without making this guy into some sort of unique case, you use him to point out that relying on the government to come save you is not a good strategy. People need to be allowed to be self-reliant if they choose. That is a strong anti-progressive attack which also neuters the idea that we shouldn't allow teachers or the public at large to arm themselves.

● Running In Place: Finally, all this talk of momentum for change strikes me as rather false. When I look around, I see none of the trappings of true political motion. What I see instead is a leftist media talking to itself as always as the public moves on. What tells me the public has moved on? Well, when the leftist media gets distracted, there is nothing keeping the issue going. A handful of leftist students skipping school is as useless as the Women's March. In the meantime, the Florida legislature did nothing. The attacks on Rubio and others brought about zero changes in position. There are no public rallies. You don't see this issue discussed. And the public dives readily into whatever comes next. That's not political momentum. Momentum is talk of switchboards, rallies, bumperstickers, Congressional critters suddenly announcing how they evolved, and pro- and con- legal action starting up all over the country. That means blood in the water. What we're seeing now is just political posturing.

Final Thoughts On the Olympics

These Olympics really have gone wrong for the butt-hurt/fake-outrage/leftist crowd. Here are my final (political) thoughts on the Olympics.

● You Go Girls: The MSM has been doing their best to make this the "Womyn's Olympics." That's not just me being a paranoid penis-owner either. NBC has gone out of their way to focus on female athletes. They put the women's events into prime time while burying the men's, their feel-good stories have almost all been about female athletes, and they probably give 3-1 coverage of "news" related to women over men. When they have gone slumming with the boys, they focused on the two gay guys. Advertisers have gone with the plan too, focusing almost entirely on female athletes. What's more, Yahoo and Huffpo have both been awash with articles on how "the women are driving these Olympics."

So here comes the irony. First, there are a similar number of male and female events and athletes. The male events continue to outdraw the female events. So the idea of female events driving the Olympics is fantasy. Further, the women they've focused on have largely disgraced themselves one after another with bad sportsmanship. The women they've profiled as the leaders of this new womyn's world all got their asses handed to them because they were pure hype. Not to mention that the US team has dramatically under-performed. Moreover, the three biggest gold medals awarded were given to males: Shawn White, Red Gerard, and the men's curling team. Finally, this focus has likely contributed to this being the worst rated Olympics of all time -- down 24% from Sochi. Is that really something the womyn should be proud of? Sounds like the attempt to manufacture a different world smashed into the wall of reality.

● Real People v. Elitists: I love the men's curling team. The Olympic Committee decided to take over curling after the last Olympics and concocted this idea of an elite curling squad who would focus full-time on the sport. They told the current guys they weren't wanted because they are all part-timers... very working class white males. But these guys formed their own team ("the Rejects") and kicked the crap out of the elites over and over until the Olympic Committee needed to accept them. Now they've won a gold medal, something the US men's team has never done before. Good for them.

Now compare them to the good liberal elitists who otherwise populate the Olympics. Here is some of what the elite liberal athletes have done: insult their teammates to the point of being kicked off the team, pick fights with internet trolls over Trump and then whine about being trolled, get drunk and steal a car, storm off in a huff and leave a team without a bobsled, whine that they won't participate in events they aren't likely to win, whine about being forced to go first, whine about other teams having unfair advantages, rip off their own silver medal while on the stand, and make racist statements about other teams. Not a good look for the children of the nouveau riche leftists who run the left, is it?

● NBC Goes Activist Gay: For some reason, NBC wanted gay skater Adam Rippon to become an announcer. Why? He wasn't a winner... not even close - no medals. He wasn't likeable either (despite various MSM sites claiming "he won everyone over"). To the contrary, he just kept spewing verbal diarrhea that wasn't smart or fun or funny or anything. It was obnoxious, insulting and often gibberish. So why did they want him? Oh, that's right... he keeps attacking Mike Pence. Ultimately, sanity prevailed and one of them backed out, but this really shows what NBC is thinking.

● Gay versus Competent Gay: Speaking of gays, probably the best thing about these Olympics was Johnny Weir and his pet Tara Lipinski. Weir (intentionally) looks like something out of the Hunger Games or Rocky Horror. He's beyond flamboyantly gay. Here's the thing though, he and Lipinski have through considerably effort created tremendous chemistry. They are funny to watch. They revel in the roles they are playing. And yet, the moment the show switches over to the ice, they know their stuff cold. They know the rules, they know what the judges are looking for, they know the athletes personally and their histories and skill sets, and they know when to shut up. They truly are excellent announcers and have become some of my favorites in any sport.

By comparison, Adam Ripon knows jack sh*t. His selling point is simply that he's flamboyantly gay and will tell you so ever few seconds. I can't stand him. And that's the thing the left doesn't get. It doesn't matter what you are if you have something to offer. But when all you have to offer is who you are, then you're worthless. And that's not sexist or racist or anti-gay or anti-anything. It's human nature.

● PC & Fake Outrage: These Olympics have really exposed the PC/fake-outrage crowd. A group of womyn claim inspiration from a French skater wearing pants... she's skating indifferently and hasn't come close to winning a medal. So someone wearing pants gives you self-esteem? How cheap your worth is. The MSM has pushed every black athlete they could find as "an inspiration to us all!" That's Canadian PM level condescension there and cheapens these athletes from athletes to black athletes... watch them so you can feel moral. Coincidentally, they all lost. Various women athletes have been presented as "bad-asses" because women are tough and strong and crude now, amIright? Well, every one of these special asses turned out to be bad sports, whiny losers, and nothing worth looking up to. Once again, feminists ignore women with real achievements for obnoxious all-talk-no-gamers. All the anti-Trumps under-performed and then whined when the public mocked them. So you can dish it out, but you can't take it. Finally, NBC's top political announcers have made fools of themselves -- speed skating is a form of transportation in the Netherlands, all the Chinese skiers look alike, the North Koreans are so dreamy, she must be an immigrant since she's Chinese, etc. Lester Holt has done so poorly there's talk that his regular news show may be in jeopardy.

● Probably Racist, But True: The Koreans are far superior organizers to the Brazilians.

More Thoughts...

More thoughts on stuff.

● Kylie Jenner tweeted today that she no longer uses SnapChat. The stock market immediately responded by stripping $1.3 billion in value from the company. It's sad to think that a Kardashian can have that kind of influence, but then SnapChat really was invented for the kinds of idiots who would follow the Kardashians. (Weren't the Kardashians the villains on Star Trek: TNG?)

● The parade of Olympic shame continues. Every single day, some athlete (or NBC announcer) makes a fool of themselves. Be it Lyndsey Vonn's twitter fight with Trump people or her dropping out of an event because "we don't have a great chance of winning" or complaining that she had to go first as a reason she lost, or an NBC announcer saying "the Chinese skiers all look alike", or the Jamaican bobsled coach quitting the team and taking the bobsled, or a French skier being sent home for saying he doesn't care about his teammates and ranting against them, or a curler failing a dope test, or a dozen more petty and stupid moments, these Olympics really have shown that many of these athletes are truly spoiled assletes. Today's stupidity involved a Canadian hockey chick ripping off her silver medal while on the stand because she was angry about losing.

● One interesting thought on the Olympics (not sure who said it): "If the Olympic Gold Metal isn't the most coveted award in your sport, then your sport doesn't belong in the Olympics." I would also add, if your sport can be "mastered" by average 17 year olds, then it shouldn't be either.

● Trump has apparently proposed: (1) banning bump stocks, (2) improving background checks, (3) raising the age to own guns to 21, and (4) is apparently considering an assault weapon ban. I'm very pro-Second Amendment, but none of these things bother me. What interests me more is that Trump is going beyond what the Democrats have always claimed they wanted and yet the left is flat out refusing to admit he has proposed these things. Why? Well, guns strike me as another area where the Democrats are all talk and terrified of action. They know this stuff doesn't work (not one tiny bit) and they use it only as a way to keep their drones (mainly white women) on edge that a solution is right there but the meanie white males won't give it to them. If the GOP passes this, it will disrupt their sales pitch beyond imagining. It will also drop yet another one of the reasons why white women stay away from the GOP. This could be bad for the Democrats.

● Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is making an absolute fool of himself in India. First, the Indian PM seems to be snubbing him by not meeting him as he has with other world leaders -- he's sent junior ministers instead. Secondly, Trudeau has been doing these touristy things which make him look like a tourist rather than a world leader. Finally, he and his family have been wearing these silly "Indian" outfits which apparently aren't accurate and are reeking of condescension.

Hopefully, this is all leading to war between India and Canada. That would be fun to watch.

● Finally, we have a film review at the film site: Black Panther, by tryanmax. Pop over and check it out: LINK.

Quick Thought Tonight

Hey there. Sadly, I am swamped with work and don't have time to share my deeper thoughts. So I will share a thought that has been bothering the last few weeks. It's about race and a show on USA Network.

The show in question is "Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & The Notorious B.I.G." The story is about the murders of two rappers way back when and it's being promoted as similar to the rehashing of the OJ case last year. I doubt many of you care. I certainly don't. What does interest/annoy me though is a line in the trailer that is blatant race baiting. About halfway through the ad, one of the characters suddenly asks... "What if this had been a white celebrity!"

Gasp!

Well, let's think about that.

First, we would be wondering how the white celebrity community had split itself into two tribal factions -- East Coast Celebrities and West Coast Celebrities. Yo. Then we would be wondering how this split would have gotten so ugly that these celebrities would start encouraging their minions to drive-by shoot the others. Yo. "Yo beatch, don't you dis the complex and enlightening lyrics of 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' or I'll bust a cap in your buttocks!"

Secondly, while the producers are no doubt claiming that since these murders remain unsolved, the police must not have cared, the truth is that many celebrity murders go unsolved. Bob Crane is a good example. Barbara Colby, James Kiernan, Jack Nance, George Reeves, Christa Helm are others. Bruce Lee and Marylin Monroe's death are suspected murders. Or think about the Natalie Wood case, which is only now being reopened. The truth is that when someone walks up to a celebrity and shoots them, they aren't going to be found unless they are whack jobs like the guy who shot John Lennon or the Mason Family members who killed Sharon Tate. The fact that Tupac and Biggie's murders aren't solved is because the killers drove away and never bragged about it... not indifference or racism by the cops.

Third, when white celebrities die, people tend to move on pretty quickly. People don't invent conspiracy theories, blame cops or scream that their race had anything to do with it. Heck, we might even do the unthinkable: we might decided that their lifestyles pretty much meant they were asking for it. Yep. Many honkeys believe that when you engage in risky behaviors, it's hard to feel sorry for you when those risks come true.

So yeah, that's what would have happened if this had been a white celebrity... little would have changed except that we would have shaken our heads and said, "They were playing with fire." But I guess that doesn't sell television shows... or stoke race hate.

More Observations

Everything you need to know!

● One of the interesting talking points to come out of the shooting is the attack on people offering: "our thoughts and prayers are with you." Not sure who thought this was a good idea, but some leftist whined that "our thoughts and prayers are with you," as said by GOP types, was offensive since they wanted action rather than prayers. One of the mothers took this up immediately, and soon whole chunks of the leftist herd were attacking the Twitter accounts of any conservative who said this. Even leftist anti-Plutoist Neil Assy Tyson repeated this saying that "thoughts and prayers are useless."

So here's what interests me. First, this is deeply discourteous. This very week, the left what aghast when some celebrity told another "I don't need your love and support at this tragic time," in response to an offer of condolences. Indeed, it was generally agreed that this response (no matter how fake the condolences) was bad form. Yet, here are leftists rejecting the condolences of millions of Americans. Very bad form. It also shows the utter lack of good faith on their part if they angrily reject the good wishes from the right. This is an ideology founded on hate.

Moreover, this reeks of being anti-Religious. Religious people genuinely believe that prayer can change the world... always have, always will. To openly disavow the goodwill prayers of a group of people is almost movie-villain-level shittyness. It is petty. It is hateful. It is specifically aimed at the other person's religion. It is essentially saying, "f*ck your God and f*ck you for stupidly believing in him." Is it any wonder that religious people have fled the left and won't return?

Third, think about what Tyson (and the rest) said... well wishes, prayers, hopes, just talking don't work. Yet, at the same time, the left is all about "raising awareness" and other pointless gestures that do nothing more than support their own sense of smugness. The whole recent women's movement is nothing but talk. Funny how they "get it" sometimes.

● Speaking of anger on the left, has anyone noticed how much swearing there is suddenly from the left? Headlines, articles, the error-u-dite crowd on Twitter... everything is swearing now. I think that shows an intense level of hate for the world right now.

● Trump's infrastructure plan apparently will include a $0.25 tax hike on gas to pay for the work being done. I'm not a huge fan of the tax, but if they finally fix the roads, then I'll take it. Some people are already complaining, however. Interestingly, the loudest complaints are coming from liberal states with high gas taxes. Imagine that. Here are the four worst. Just try and guess who will be in this list... I dare you!

Pennsylvania.. $0.18 cent federal tax + $0.667 state tax = $0.847
California.... $0.18 cent federal tax + $0.6549 state tax = $0.8349
Washington.... $0.18 cent federal tax + $0.494 state tax = $0.674
Hawaii........ $0.18 cent federal tax + $0.4643 state tax = $0.6443
New York...... $0.18 cent federal tax + $0.443 state tax = $0.623

Welcome to the same old places. By comparison, Colorado's gas tax is $0.22 plus federal equals $0.40. I love how the tax burden in these liberal states is too high now that it's no longer deductible. Think about it... liberals whining about their taxes being too high! Ha!

● Some Democrat said that the indictment of a handful of Russians means that our election was invalid. That's both legal and intellectual garbage. Legally, there's nothing in our laws to invalidate an election. Intellectually, even if Trump openly plotted with the Ruskies like a supervillain, where is that actually wrong as an election tactic? Each side lies, cheats, and hires people to lie and cheat. Hillary paid for a fake dossier to spread disgusting rumors about Trump, yet no one on the left thinks that's wrong. Our elections let people say whatever they want, and it trusts the public and the Electoral College to sort it out. In fact, if they didn't, CBS News wouldn't exist anymore after the lies they've been caught spreading year after year. Besides... isn't what the Russians supposedly did exactly what Media Matter does all the time?

What Do We Do?

For those who haven't seen the news, a student who had been expelled from a high school in Florida returned to the school, tossed smoke grenades into the hallway to trigger the fire alarms, and then started shooting when everyone filled the hallways. He killed 17 and wounded 50. This is despicable and it's unacceptable that this keeps happening. So how do we stop this? Here are my thoughts:

● Target Hardening: It's time something was done to protect schools specifically. As sad as it sounds, there needs to be a single point of entrance with metal detectors, bulletproof glass, and an armed officer right there. No one should be able to get a gun into a school.

● Threat Reduction: These people often have histories of mental problems or prior violence. It's time that...

● The state should be allowed to hold people for an extended period of time when they show mental problems combined with suggestions of violence. Family, teachers, employers need to be allowed to initiate such proceedings with immunity for all but bad faith initiations. If the person refuses treatment and displays violent tendencies, they need to be locked up and kept.

● When someone is under observation for mental issues, is under a restraining order, or is convicted of any crime of violence, they should be banned from gun possession and the police should be allowed to search their property and remove their guns/weapons. Their drivers licenses should be tagged with this restriction as well, and there needs to be a database gun sellers/cops can access to get the list of these people.

● Making Satisfaction Impossible: Some shooters are looking for fame. There should be a media boycott on the use of their names or any discussion of their ideas/manifestos and pasts/stories. Any book or movie rights should be forfeit to the state. Bury them anonymously without ceremony or religious rights.

● Trouble Spotting: There should be parental criminal liability to get the parents involved. Not for the actions of the child but for supplying the child with guns or bombs or other similar hardware. There should be civil liability for psychologists/counselors who fail to report people considering such violence. The Safe-to-tell hotlines are a good idea. Anyone should be able to report someone they suspect to the authorities.

● Cultural Issues: Hollywood and the videogame industry need to take responsibility for their actions and stop selling gun violence as the cool way to solve problems. Others, especially on the left and the fringe on the right, need to stop being so incendiary in their words... spewing the kinds of hate you see on Twitter makes you complicit. Also, we need to start marking people when they are online. Anyone who posts a comment anywhere should be required to leave their own name and location automatically. This will help shutdown places where the crazies meet to fester -- lots of these kids, like the Florida kid, visit these places and are encouraged by anonymous assholes to commit their crimes. It's time we took seriously the criminalization of incitement to violence.

Please share any thoughts you have on this?

Is This The End?

Google is inventing an ap that will chat with your friends so you don't need to use the brain power to spew inane comments anymore. It will do it for you. I see it now: a group of useless losers all turning their phones to autoidiocy because they are all too lazy to talk to each other. I can't even get my head around this. They have made a machine to take over your time wasting. What are these fools going to do now? Sit in the closet and masturbate as their phones handle their friendships? There are no words...

In The News

Some thoughts based on what's in the news.

● More Olympic Thoughts: Kudos to the Koreans for running an excellent Olympics. Unlike "sh*thole" Brazil, the Olympic village and venues are finished, the water isn't poisoning anyone, there are no reports of Olympians or tourists being murdered, carjacked or robbed. Only three scandals so far: (1) local ski businesses are doing poorly because the hills are closed, (2) the local government won't open a special tent for Muslims to pray, and (3) some Canadian Olympian has rescued two dogs from the BBQ (//whispers Koreans eat dogs). That's about as scandal-minimum as you can get in the Olympics. Again, congrats.

Love this comment from the cross-country announcer slamming the X-Games half-pipe event. He said that it's amazing to have a 21 year old who can compete in cross-country. The other announcer said, "The winner of the half-pipe is only 17." Response: "Yes, but this event requires years of training." Zaaaap! Speaking of that 17 year old, the MSM thinks it's cute that Dipsh*t didn't know what the Olympics were before he signed up and then thought the image of his white trash family surrounded by beer cans was even better. 'Merika!

Damn the Russians can figure skate! Damn the Dutch can speed skate! Damn the Norwegians can cross-country ski! Damn our media can idiot with best of them! Katie Couric is an idiot for suggesting the reason the Dutch are good skaters is that the Dutch skate as a means of transportation. They all seem to love North Korea now. NBC's "Asia expert" had to be fired after talking about how Japan contributed to South Korea's culture.

The Husky Girls At Yahoo are celebrating a French figure skater who wore pants. She wasn't good, but they are inspired by her wearing pants. It's sad when you feel oppressed by female figure skaters wearing dress-like unitards. Perhaps, girlfriends, you should look closer to home to find out why you need to find inspiration in such pathetic things?

● Tough Sh*t: So a woman got fired after a Church group order $735 worth of takeout, but didn't tip and she went on a rant about it. Good. Tipping on a takeout order is not expected. Bitching about your clients is absolutely a reason to be fired. Imagine that... being an ass has consequences?! Well, today, the Church tipped her. That's fine, but the left is still whining that she doesn't have a job anymore. Uh, f*you. She worked at Outback. It's not like she lost her job as chief scientist for NASA. She can find a dozen replacement jobs of similar caliber within an hour if she wants. So no sympathy there.

● Get Him! There has been a concerted effort by the left to bring down Trump's Chief of Staff. Why? Because he's been the guy holding Trump in the realm of normal. So they've trumped up this idea that Kelly should be fired because some guy on his staff beat his wives when he was married. You really want to open that door? Then you first. And when you've fired everyone with a sh*tty staff person, then we'll agree to consider firing Kelly.

As an aside, these are the same people who think the left needs to protect their harassers.

● It's Racist! So it turns out that technology is racist. Facial recognition works best for white males. It works most poorly for blacks. Search engines return results that leftist groups consider racist because search terms mimic what the public is thinking. AI is proving to be super racist. Crime predictive software is much more likely to identify blacks as criminals from their history. This is going to get ugly.

Olympics

The Winter Olympics are upon us tonight. The Olympics are a time for the world to come together, for the world's best athletes to show us what they can do and for national pride to swell. Isn't it grand? Sadly...

The Olympics are also a time to show us how f**ed up these people can be. Indeed, the Olympics are a time when dictators clean out a small corner of their country, build a Potemkin Olympic village, and try to sell the world (the left mainly) on how wonderful their be-gulag'ed countries are.

It is a time when corrupt and failing countries spend vast amounts to distract from their dire circumstances and then spend vast amounts more to hide their incompetence for holding the Olympics. Yep. Remember Brazil? Remember Brazil going after Ryan Lochte for pissing on a wall and almost bringing down the Republic of Brazil... must have been a load baring wall. Or Putin going after journalists who were mocking the nonsense of Sochi.

It is a time that cities invest billions to built stadiums that will fall apart from neglect by the time the next Olympic roll around.

It is a time for some shady and petty crap. The Russians have been banned for massive cheating... except the Olympic committee is letting them in anyways as Olympic Athletes from Russia. The guy who lost the coin toss to carry the American flag at the opening is screaming racism because he's black and she's white and, well, that's about it. Some gay Olympian is whining about VP Mike Pence leading the American delegation because anyone who doesn't agree with where he likes to put his d*ck should be banned off the planet. Prepare for failed dope tests, legalistic challenges to results, narcissistic athletes hooking up like rabbits, and politicized attempts to sell things like women's hockey to an audience that has proved uncaring since forever. And look for awful "human interest" stories about the immense fakesuffering of these people.

You know, the Olympics seemed better as a kid. At least we'll always have curling, which feels honest to me. Our team works at Home Depo. I can respect that.

News Bites...

Some items from the news...

● Parody Alert. A group of models will be posing nude in Sports Illustrated to... uh... somethingsomething the #metoo list.

//scratches head

So to fight harassment, these chickies will be posing nude.

Huh.

I don't even know what to say about this. Is this a joke?


● FakeRacism. Also in the news, do you recall Leslie Jones of Ghostbuster's fame? She's the one who made this big deal of quitting Twitter when she was racially attacked online. The thing is, it all struck me as fake. In fact, it struck me as something created to make Jones a victim so they could sell the film as being victimized by racists.

Well, it worked. Jones gained victim status and went from basically a super-ugly, super-mannish, unfunny nobody to hosting award shows.

And then she promptly accused fashion designers of racism for not offering her free designer dresses.

And then she bombed as a host for the BET awards and, surprise surprise, she alleged some unexplained racism by the Ritz Carlton. The Ritz even publicly asked her to explain what the problem was so they could fix it and she refused to say.

Now she's in the news again accusing an Atlanta seafood restaurant of racism.


● FakeSupport. So Twitter has started deleting fake accounts... more than a million in the first round. See, it turns out that there are companies who create fake accounts and then sell their accounts to celebrities who want to seem more important. As I went down the list of people identified in the first round, it was interesting to see how many of the vilest little leftists made the list. John Leguizamo who has been a vile Trump attacker is on the list. Clay Aiken who ran for office as a gay anti-Republican candidate was on the list. Lebron James, Barrack Obama (42% fake), Sarah Silverman, Mark Cuban, and environmental hypocrite Leonardo DiCaprio are on the list. Each is a nasty anti-Trump. The right lost followers too -- Sean Hannity, for example, lost 300,000 followers -- but it's funny that these people who claim to be leading people to resist Trump need to fill their accounts with fake followers.


● FakeProtest. Jim Carrey wants you to delete your Facebook account over Russian interference with the election. Personally, I think Carrey should delete all of his social media accounts. Or he should do as the feminists and pose nude in Good Housekeeping. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. LOL

●BTW, Bev posted this link in the comments yesterday: LINK and it's a fantastic takedown of modern feminism. Well worth watching!

A World of Idiots

Pure stupidity today...

● I can't find the article, but apparently Hillary Clinton is now convinced that the delusional Right's "Deep State" exists, was run by Comey, and actually sought to destroy her (not Trump). This is beyond the point of parody.

● A High School in New York has cancelled their senior play because a white girl was chosen to play Esmeralda in the Hunchback of Notre Dame. That's probably a good thing as we don't want to offend hunchbacks. Still, the reasoning is utter racist crap. If minorities can play "white roles," why can't whites play minority roles? Not to mention, Esmeralda is either Spanish, i.e. white, or a Gypsy, i.e. whites. So this is crap either way. Stupid.

● Then there's the high school that cancelled the daddy daughter dance because they despise alliteration because they thought it was sexist to honor only daddies and daughters. Way to go feminists! Let's interfere with the relationships of girls with their fathers.

● Oh oh. I saw an article this weekend that discussed one of my predictions coming true. Professional woman are suddenly finding that their male bosses won't deal with them alone without a witness. They are now worried that they are being hurt by the #metoo list. Yep. Leftist actions always hurt the people they claim to want to help. Feminism: one pretend step forward, five back. Maybe they should stick to theater-blocking white girls and keeping girls from connecting with their fathers.

● Speaking of idiot feminists, the Prime Minister of Canada (a pretend country that lives under our protection) stopped a gurl at a college speech from asking her question when she said the word "mankind." PM Wuss noted that "peoplekind" is more inclusive. My response? First, where is your pussy hat, Mr/s PM? Secondly, are you saying my dog is not a person, PM Asshole? How dare you exclude non-hupeople with your hate-speech, bitch? Go f** a moose.

● Hillary Clinton whined today that global warming will force women into domestic roles. Apparently, when the earth turns to a crisp, men will send their wives to hunt for food. Damn. She's onto us menfolk peoplefolk. That was indeed our plan, to destroy the earth so we could be lazy and let our wives do all the work.

● The MercuryNews ran the following headline: "Single-payer provides best cure for California health care". Close. A more accurate headline would be: "Single-payer provides best cure for California". Do it my friends... do it.

What a world.

All Is Right With The World

The Super Bowl was tonight. The Eagles beat the hated New England Patriots 41-33. All is right with the world. Some thoughts...

● Hurray for the good guys. The evil Patriots lost.

● I can't wait to see the denial and anger from the NFL media tomorrow.

● For the first time in a long time in a Patriots game, the Refs called a fair game. Interestingly, both my wife and I agreed that if the Patriots had won, we wouldn't have felt bad about this one because they really did play a fair game. It's amazing how much better the Super Bowl feels when the refs aren't deciding it!

● My favorite ads:

(1) The Vikings and their Dodge Ram. Awesome. So well done. And hilarious when they turn around at the end. Loved seeing them all headbanging in unison!

(2) Dilly dilly. We ended up saying that all night. We even changed it to Philly Philly after one of our guests discovered an internet meme saying that.

(3) The Eli Manning Dirty Dancing ad was hilarious.

(4) The Doritos ad with Peter Dinklage was inspired. The addition with Morgan Freemen then cheapened the ad.

● Worst ads:

(1) Coke thinks Mexican lesbians matter to us.

(2) There was an ad that used babies and spewed liberal bumper stickers about how these kids were going to grow up as doctrinaire leftists. I can't even think what the ad was for. All it did was piss us off and bring hoots. The Matt Damon ad brought a "How's that Weinstein rape thing working for ya, Matt?"

(3) I really didn't like the Amazon Alexa ads where Alexa lost her voice and various celebrities took over. It was far too obvious and predictable. A creative company needs to show more.

(4) Chris Pratt. Not only do I have no idea why he was in the ads he was in, but I don't know what the product was either.

(5) The Tide ads. I get what they were trying to do. I even get where there is a hint of genius in the ads as they come close to making you think that any ad could be a Tide ad and therefore Tide stays on your brain. But somehow, I didn't care. And every time a Tide ad came up, it only reminded me of how little I cared.

● It was interesting not to see so many of the usual Super Bowl suspects: no pizza ads, no McDonalds ads, no internet start up ads. NFL demographics must be changing.

● Speaking of changing demographics... there was a time the NFL was almost entirely white (due to racism). Then it became almost entirely black (which created this idea that blacks were the best athletes). At that point, whites were relegated to quarterback and offense line and linebacker. That was literally about it. These days, whites can be found at wide receiver, running back, defensive end and defensive back as well. I will be curious if this keeps up. Right now, basketball and football are mainly black with baseball, hockey and soccer being mainly white (baseball and soccer also have a lot of Hispanics). It will be interesting to see how these games shift over time and what that means for their popularity or perception... if anything.

● We had wings today and had to order them three hours before the game or they wouldn't take our order. They were overwhelmed. In the middle of it all, a single girl scout set up shop right outside one of the wing places. She made a fortune!

Amy Schumer's Prejudice

Let's take apart a quote by Amy Schumer because it's rather instructive of what is wrong with liberal "thinking." Read this from the New York Post:

Amy Schumer says she “really feel[s] for the woman” who recently accused her friend and fellow comic, Aziz Ansari, of sexual misconduct. “I identify with all the women in these situations,” the Trainwreck writer and star told Katie Couric on the February 1 episode of the latter’s podcast. “Even if it’s my friend, I don’t go, ‘Oh, but he’s a good guy.’ I think, ‘What would it feel like to have been her?’”

Do you notice anything wrong with this? How about this: it's pure sexism. Schumer says straight up that she will always identify with the women in a sexual harassment situation. Stick in the word "man" and she would be screaming that this is unholy sexism of the worst order. Stick in "white person" and it becomes pure, evil racism Yet, she doesn't even blink to admit that she will take the side of the woman.

This reminds me of several female attorneys I've met who claimed with no sense of irony at all, "I want to handle divorces, but I only want to work with women clients because men are sexist." So not self-aware! That's unethical, by the way, but they don't care. Indeed, this is one problem with the victim mentality, it lets liberals pretend that they aren't acting in ways they demonize others for doing. In fact, they become quite proud of doing things they otherwise call evil.

Back to Schumer, notice that her method of judging an allegation of wrongdoing runs contrary to classic Western thought. Western thought says to examine the evidence as dispassionately as possible. Counsel may be biased in presenting the case, but the judge may not biased in deciding it. Bias is wrong, prejudice evil. In fact, the people who tried to change the system away from the two thousand year march toward rational consideration to appeals based on identity fill history's books as villains... Nazis, Jim Crow juries, rigged local courthouses, Soviet show trials, etc.

Yet, Schumer proudly tells us that her method for evaluating such claims involves identifying with the women and trying to "feel" it from the woman's perspective. Again, how would she react if a juror said, "I always look at it from the white guy's perspective." She would be howling. Yet, here she's not even aware of how f*cked up she's acting. Rather than judging this situation on the facts and some rational basis, she is admitting that she has prejudged the situation by deciding which party she will believe and then she examines any evidence presented through the eyes of whatever woman was involved. That's called prejudice. What's more, she tries to feel the situation rather than examine it rationally. Hence, things like logic and standards of evidence vanish into the ephemeral "this is how I want this to end."

And let me suggest that this is the common way liberals approach pretty much anything. They pick a side and then try to decide how they would feel if they had been in that person's place. There do not weigh facts. They do not consider multiple perspectives. They use emotion rather than logic. The result is the crazy, biased, hysterical judgments that liberals issue on all matters. They pick a favorite and then feel their way through a decision... and, like Schumer, they are completely oblivious to how biased they are.
