For Maryland Dems, it’s girl-seats and boy-seats

8th March 2018

Read it.

The Democratic National Committee has required equal numbers of men and women on party central committees for decades. In many jurisdictions, the party complies by appointing females to achieve gender balance that elections don’t produce. In some jurisdictions, the appointed members aren’t permitted to vote or give floor speeches, but apparently that’s no longer the case anywhere in Maryland.

Thus, there is already gender balance on the central committee.

But state chairman Kathleen Matthews, wife of MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, isn’t satisfied with a quota for female membership on Maryland central committees. She’s imposing a quota for elected female membership. The only way to achieve this is through gender-segregated elections.

Seattle Resident Mistakes Norwegian Flag for Confederate Flag

24th February 2018

Read it.

A Seattle, Washington resident recently made headlines by mistaking the Norwegian flag for the Confederate flag.

According to The Seattle Times, author Rebecca Morris sent a tip to the paper that read, “Hi. Suddenly there is a Confederate flag flying in front of a house in my Greenwood neighborhood. It is at the north-east corner of 92nd and Palatine, just a block west of 92nd and Greenwood Ave N. I would love to know what this ‘means’ … but of course don’t want to knock on their door. Maybe others in the area are flying the flag? Maybe it’s a story? Thank you.”

However, when a reporter checked out the flag’s location, it was actually a Norwegian flag that had been put up by a Norwegian-American man for the Olympics.

In the hunt for Heretics and Sinners, one cannot be too careful; one never knows how cleverly these ‘dog whistles’ may be disguised. (Remember: If you hear the ‘dog whistle’, then you’re the dog.)

In 2016, someone sent the Indiana University campus into a frenzy by tweeting, “IU students, be careful, there’s someone walking around in KKK gear with a whip.”

The person in “KKK gear,” however, turned out to be a Dominican monk wearing a robe.

Hey, you know what those Dominicans are like — they were in charge of the Inquisition, after all.

Less than a week after Univision smeared the Trump tax cuts, the owner of that broadcasting network, Haim Saban, has announced that he will be giving $1000 bonuses to his employees due to those same tax cuts. In fact, as we shall see, Saban very specifically credited those same tax cuts as the reason for the bonuses.

Amazon Customers Come Unglued Because Alexa Is Not a Feminist

25th January 2018

Read it.

Amazon’s voice assisting software Alexa is not woke enough for the fine people at The Atlantic.

That’s at least according to male writer Ian Bogost, who spent the latter half of his Wednesday criticizing Amazon for not designing a more progressive robot.

One of the distinguishing characteristics of proglodytes is that they assume what they believe to be the laws of nature, in opposition to which all contrarians are effectively ‘science deniers’.

What’s he getting at here? That women are too detail oriented and preachy — and that it’s a gendered thing? This guy is so woke that he’s actually reaffirming stereotypes and reestablishing the gender divide. I can’t get enough of it.

Man Says He Was Choked Until He Pooped His Pants for Trying to Pay Parking Ticket With Pennies

Your tax dollars at work.

The major problem with government employees is that they come to believe that just because some government employees (such as policemen) have wide latitude in their interactions with private citizens, therefore every government employee has (or ought to have) that latitude.

This is why it is so amazing for me that in-your-face ‘anti-racists’ more often than not promote (quite loudly) programs that would put more and more of our lives at the disposal of such people.

Flight Diverted After Woman Discovers Her Husband Is Cheating on Her

7th November 2017

Read it.

A Qatar Airways flight had to make an emergency landing after a female passenger found out her husband was cheating on her mid-flight, reports the Hindustan Times.

The unidentified Iranian woman reportedly used her husband’s fingerprint to unlock his phone while he was asleep, before becoming incensed by what she found on the device.

Flight attendants were unable to calm the woman as she repeatedly hit her husband, causing the pilots to make the decision to make an emergency landing in India on 5 November.

Imagine if he’d had the new iPhone X.

Hippies Hold Seance to Summon Communist Founder

26th October 2017

Read it.

Two journalists used an Ouija board to try summoning the spirit of Karl Marx Thursday, seeking solace from the alleged horror of capitalism.

The two women, identified as Callie and Sarah, used the Ouija board as part of a Halloween themed Facebook Live video for Broadly, a women’s news publication of Vice that reports “Sex, politics, culture, witchcraft. Women’s news you thought would exist by now.” Sarah and Callie, who have both dabbled in occult practices, used the segment to explore witchcraft and bemoan capitalism, admonishing their viewers that there was still time to “seize the means” and that the spirit of Marx was needed.

I guess Hitler was busy that night.

A Liberal Visits South Dakota and Freaks Out at the Sight of Guns

21st October 2017

Read it.

Part of what is going on here is that coastal liberals think that people in places like South Dakota are both dumber than they are, and more prone to violence. Actually, that is the opposite of the truth, in both respects. In South Dakota, where I grew up, most people are familiar with shotguns and rifles, know how to use them, and don’t irrationally freak out if they encounter a few, even at an airport. And the violent crime rate is vanishingly low.

At some point during the day, a reporter from the Sioux Falls Argus Leader, South Dakota’s dominant and liberal newspaper, asked Rich Larson whether he knew that his modest auction booth was all over Twitter. The Argus Leader ran a story headlined: No, firearms weren’t for sale at Sioux Falls Regional Airport on Friday.

A Prospective Bump Stock Ban Shows How Disconnected Gun Control Politics Is From Reality

7th October 2017

Read it.

Last Saturday the device was an obscure novelty, dismissively regarded in gun circles. The next day it was a prime suspect in the killing of 59 people, and injuring of over 500 more in Las Vegas, Nevada. By midweek, bump stocks were the bullseye of our repetitive shooting match over gun control.

This is like attempting to prevent prostitution by banning high heels.

Predictably, talk of a ban has made bump stocks one of America’s fastest selling gun accessories. “Oh, God, yes, it’s been insane,” one Texas gun store owner told CNN Money. “Since this story has broke, we’ve been getting about 50 people a day asking for them.” Another from Maine said that he had five bump stocks gathering dust for months, before a post-Vegas buying spree saw them all snatched them up.

I hereby christen this the ‘Obama Effect’. Obama’s constant jawing about gun control made his eight years a great time for firearms manufacturers. When people think you’re going to ban something they want, they stock up.

Even with the sudden sales surge, the rarity of the devices raises the question of the real impact of a ban, other than to allow for some bipartisan political posturing. Banning bump stocks is something that can be done without pissing too many people off, placating the crowd that after every shooting in America screams for somebody to do something.

This sort of logic is only questionable outside of politics.

Anti-Nuclear Weapons Group Wins Nobel Prize

6th October 2017

Read it.

The Nobel Peace prize has gone from being a prize for achieving peace to being a prize for working toward peace to being a virtue-signaling prize for doing nothing about peace but nevertheless expressing the Crust’s wish that peace would somehow magically arrive without any effort on the part of people in power.

This is how Barack Obama could get it before he had had a chance to do anything other than make Magic Negro speeches, because that’s all that was necessary for virtue-signaling. He so perfectly encapsulated the Crust’s preferred methodology of doing nothing while talking a good fight that it was impossible not to give him the prize, even though it astonished the Dirt People.
