Something like Sharia law comes to Drake University

Social commentary / March 18, 2017

It comes with a very strange twist.

Imagine if you will that a student is passed out drunk. The person you’re with who is also drunk decides to sexual assault you while you’re incapable of resisting. We have all heard about cases like this that took place at Stanford in 2015.  Guy whose brains are in the head of his dick gets caught doing naughty things to one drunk chick. He’s now a convicted sex offender and has kissed goodbye forever a chance to make the Olympic swim team.

It was a stunning fall from grace for Turner. Once a record-setting swimming prodigy, he is now a convicted sex offender at age 20.

It was also a landmark case in the nationwide struggle to combat sexual assault on campus, at least according to prosecutors.

During the trial, they argued that despite his squeaky clean image and exalted status as a Stanford athlete, Turner deserved no special treatment.

“He may not look like a rapist, but he is the … face of campus sexual assault,” Deputy District Attorney Alaleh Kianerci told the jury, according to the Mercury News.

After the guilty verdict, prosecutors again argued that the case set an important national precedent.

All well and good the bastard deserved it.

At Drake university however…comes this little story.

What’s good for the goose does not apply to the gander.  In this case it’s the guy whose passed out and it’s the woman who decides to give him a blowjob, without his consent. What happens next would at best be described as surreal. As it was the (male) victim who ended up getting expelled.

Add insult to injury his father sits on the board of trustees for Drake University. He was fired for defending his son. Lawsuits have been filed.

College for American males today is walking into a minefield. They’re damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

Since most colleges are anywhere from 60-70% female and young American  men are viewed as predators to begin with they should boycott colleges altogether and leave the spaces open for young immigrant Muslim men.  In a case of sexual assault of a woman by a Muslim man, well,   I would love to see the PC police figure that one out.

 

 

Fear and loathing in Honolulu ( preface)

personal history / March 15, 2017

Apologies to the late Hunter Thompson.

It’s 1973.

A while back I was telling the story of my year in Kodiak Alaska as a member of the USCG. Which I’ll always remember as one of the most fun years of my youth.  After which I was sent back to Governors Island for further training and to find out where I would be sent for my next tour of duty.

I was hoping for an assignment a little closer to home so I requested on my dream sheet LORAN stations in Maine or Massachusetts. No such luck. I was being sent back to the same time zone the previous year. This time Kauai Hawaii.

When I left for Hawaii It was still winter, I was in my wool blue uniform. My White uniform was packed away in my seabag.  A quick stopover In San Francisco didn’t allow time for a change of uniform, so I landed in Honolulu in my wool blues.  Exiting the plane I was hit by the tropical air, that and the jet lag nearly caused me to pass out on the tarmac.

There was still one more flight to go, a short hop to the island of Kauai.  After landing at the airport it was by then fairly late in the evening.  I called the station and was informed that there was no one available to pick me up but to take a taxi and I would be reimbursed for the fare.  I arrived late at night. Everyone of the rank of petty-officer and above had left the station for the night. They all lived in off-base housing. I was greeted at the barracks door by one of my new station mates. And here it all began.

“Do you have any weed on you”,  were his first words to me.

I said “no”. He said “do you want to go to my place, I’m having a party” ( he was married, married personal get off base housing)  So I said “what the hell, why not”. It was fairly typical what I can remember, loud music, beer, and weed of the homegrown variety.

But I really did try not to go overboard.

Got back to the barracks sometime after midnight.

The big surprise was what happened the next morning. Early the next morning.

I was summand to a interrogation meeting with my C.O. (1st impressions) X.O. ( from Texas he was) and a representative of CGI (Coast Guard Intelligence).  I was duly informed that I was not being charged with anything and that I could halt the interview at any time. Apparently they knew all about that party I went to the night before. They wanted to know if drugs were present and also names.  Of course one tries to walk a tightrope, you don’t want to piss off the brass on your first day but your not going to be a stool pigeon informer and be shunned by your station mates for the rest of your tour.

Fortunately the fact that I had only arrived the night before worked In my favor. Pleading beer and jet-lag I had no clue at placing names to faces,  I didn’t see anything wished to terminate the interview.

The C.O. who fancied himself in the image of MacArthur with the sunglasses and corncob pipe said to me on my way out “Well,(deepred) you certainly haven’t made a good first impression.”

Thus began day 1 of my Hawaiian tour.

And this story Jan 19th NYT on line edition.

I’ve heard rumors that the NYT has scrubbed the word “wiretapped” from a prvious online  edition. It now says “Intercepted Russian Communications”

So what does this say about Trumps accusations.

 

Has Obama’s third term already begun?

Politics, Social commentary / March 7, 2017

Mr. Daniel Greenfield thinks so.

From Frontpage mag

After Trump secured the nomination, Obama’s people filed a wiretapping request. As he was on the verge of winning, they did it again. After he won, they are doing everything they can to bring him down. It was always going to come down to this.

One is the elected President of the United States. The other is the Anti-President who commands a vast network that encompasses the organizers of OFA, the official infrastructure of the DNC and Obama Anonymous, a shadow government of loyalists embedded in key positions across the government.

In the Soviet Union of 1922 the post of General Secretary  of the Communist party was considered a mundane bureaucratic entity. All the flashy revolutionaries, Trotsky, Bukharin, Zinoviev, and Kamenev thought the post was beneath them so they gave it to one Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili .  The General Secretary post was responsible for bureaucratic appointments. Iosif (a.k.a. STALIN) placed people in the government who were loyal to HIM!  Within 20 years all those above mentioned names would be dead. And Stalin would be the undisputed master.

Obama of course was not assigned a mundane government posting. The American people elected him…twice. Many knew exactly what he stood for.  Many others,  low information voters in particular voted for the black man in hopes to finally put America’s racial sins in the rear view mirror. But that is never going to happen if these people have anything to do with it.  White guilt is what got Obama elected, that and a sycophant media who refused to tell the American people what Obama true agenda was, The transformation of America into a European style top down Socialist state and the Shredding of the Constitution.

The seeds of this were planted in American soil over one hundred years ago.  Until Obama, “The one we were waiting for” was elected to reap the harvest.

If Hillary had been elected Obama would have been her co-president in all but name.

But the people elected Trump and now Obama is back doing what he does best, organizing a coup to bring down a legally elected government.

Obama controls the opposition. He will have a great deal of power to choose future members of Congress and the 2020 candidate. But he could have done much of that from Chicago or New York. The reason he didn’t decide to move on from D.C. is that the nation’s capital contains the infrastructure of the national government. He doesn’t just want to run the Democrats. He wants to run America.

The other half of the picture is the Obama Deep State. This network of political appointees, bureaucrats and personnel scattered across numerous government agencies is known only as Obama Anonymous.

Obama Inc. had targeted Trump from the very beginning when it was clear he would be the nominee.

We live in dangerous times.

Fascism comes to Vermont

Politics, Social commentary / March 4, 2017

But really, its been here for awhile.

From the Times argus

MIDDLEBURY — Hundreds of Middlebury College students demonstrated ahead of a lecture by speaker Charles Murray, who some have called a white nationalist. Murray wrote “The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life” and “Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010.”

Before Murray spoke Thursday, students turned their backs on him and chanted, “Your message is hatred. We can’t tolerate it.” More than 450 alumni also signed a letter decrying the decision to bring Murray to campus.

The student group American Enterprise Institute Club invited Murray and the Political Science Department cosponsored the lecture. Middlebury College said the student group had a right to invite him.

“I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it”  Attributed to Voltaire.

Such a statement would be considered racist today.  How you ask?  Good question.

Of course this behavior is and has been happening on college campuses all across the country for a long time.

Freedom of speech for me but not for thee.

This gentleman was quite a revolutionary in his day. Of course later on he himself was declared an “enemy of the people” and was shot after a show trail in 1938.

Of course if you are not going to allow certain speakers to speak on your campus, what about their books? Is it such a leap from shutting down their lectures to…

This?

I wonder what Peter, Pat, Phil, and Bernie, have to say about this? Their silence is deafening.

“The fascist of the future will be the anti-fascist”  W. Churchill.

Why most conservative bloggers use a pseudonym.

Social commentary / March 1, 2017

Because liberalism is a mental disease, and like some Muslims they can become really unhinged when their sacred ideologies are questioned and challenged.

From American Thinker.

And for those who think they’ll stand by this president despite the attacks, think again.  Tom Brady is hounded by liberals over his friendship with Trump.  Celebrities are blacklisted if they offer support.  Activist websites openly bully companies to discontinue Trump merchandise.  Macy’s, Nordstrom’s, Burlington, and others have now dropped the Trump label, and the list of  capitulating stores is growing.

Lesson: You don’t like someone?  Stalk him.  Trash everything he does.  Mock, demean, ridicule, and ostracize this person.  For those who still hang with your victim, attack them as well.  Harass, threaten, and blackball them until they too turn on your target.

Praise Trump in any capacity and feel the heat. Just ask Mr. Van Jones.

Unlike Libs who proudly can with pride display their ignorance and gibberish in letters to the editor of the local party organ and sign their own name without fear of consequences, conservatives have to be more circumspect.

This is why we use a pseudonyms.
