Transgender Mania: NCAALGBT Moving Toward More Inclusion of Dudes on Women’s Teams

6th November 2020

Read it.

Boise, Idaho, you can kiss your inclusion in March Madness next spring good-bye. The NCAA prefers a different version of inclusion for its host sites, one that doesn’t ban males from participating in female sports like Idaho does. College sports fans, trans inclusion is rolling down the tracks and little can stop it.

SB Nation Outsports reports that the NCAALGBT hasn’t yet rescinded its agreement for NCAA Tournament games in Boise, but the sport’s governing association is in the tank for transgenders.

The Left Is Again Showing That It Can’t Stand Anyone Who Disagrees

6th November 2020

Glenn Harlan Reynolds (Instapundit).

One response might be self-criticism: to wonder how, after four years of single-mindedly trying to get rid of Trump and marginalize his followers, things didn’t go better. Instead, Democrats’ thinkers seem to be asking themselves variations on “How can I live in a country where half the people supported Donald Trump?”

According to the Campus Reform Web site, professors around America were expressing anger and claiming to feel “genuinely unsafe, given the sheer number of people willing to vote for Trump.” Some canceled classes for the rest of the week, apparently because of the emotional strain.

An article in The New Republic by Andrew Cohen asks: “What do we do with all these Trump supporters?” (Spoiler: “Learn to live with them and respect your differences” isn’t on the agenda.)

Whine, little snowflake, shiver, shiver….

If in the next election, turnout is 30% and the Democrats win with 110% of the vote in Michigan, even the crooks will have to acknowledge that the whole thing is just a ridiculous sham.

Massive Voter FraudiIn Wisconsin?

5th November 2020

John Hinderaker at PowerLine.

News outlets tell us that President Trump underperformed in key midwestern states, compared with 2016. But that isn’t exactly true. Take Wisconsin: four years ago, Trump carried the state with 1,405,284 votes. This year, with 99% of the vote tabulated, Trump had 1,610,007 votes, more than 200,000 more votes than he received four years ago. Yet, we are told, he lost the state to the inept Joe Biden.

That seems unlikely. There were 3,684,726 registered voters in Wisconsin going into Election day. The total votes recorded in Wisconsin were 3,240,549. That would give Wisconsin a turnout of 88%. According to Ballotpedia, no American state in the period 2002-2018 has ever achieved a turnout rate of 80% or higher. For purposes of comparison, in 2016 Wisconsin had a 67 percent turnout rate. If you are credulous, you can believe that 21% more Wisconsinites voted this year, compared with the red-hot election of four years ago, and 248,000 more Wisconsinites turned out to vote for the charismatic Joe Biden this year than voted for Hillary Clinton four years ago. I think those numbers are almost certainly false, the result of ballot manipulation.

Companies Join Exodus to Suburbs as Cities Transform Into “Ghost Towns”

5th November 2020

Read it.

People and companies are leaving American cities in droves. An urban exodus could persist for a couple of years as the virus pandemic and resulting socio-economic implosion has exacerbated quality of life problems – violent crime, homelessness, rising taxes, and high cost of living – those were some of the reasons, even before the pandemic, forcing city dwellers to rural communities.

South American Drug Cartels Launch Fleet of Narco Subs

5th November 2020

Read it.

No surfer ever had a wilder ride. A member of the U.S. Coast Guard, in full combat gear, is hammering furiously on the hatch of a semi-submerged small submarine, clinging desperately to its stubby conning tower as it surges at top speed through the Pacific off the coast of Colombia.

The brave American seaman has already risked his life jumping on to the sub from a high-speed pursuit boat. One slip could be fatal as waves crash over the the fibreglass deck of the violently pitching vessel. Its crew, peering furtively through the narrow cabin windows, have ignored demands to stop and, given the preciousness of their cargo, are making a run for it. However, with boats shadowing them on either side, they clearly realise that resistance is futile.

As other members of the Coast Guard train their guns on the hatch, it opens and hands appear, raised in surrender. Also surrendered is the cargo — more than 17,000lb of cocaine worth a staggering £180 million in large waterproof plastic-wrapped bales.

Can the Democrats Steal Pennsylvania?

3rd November 2020

John Hinderaker at PowerLine.

I have assumed that Joe Biden’s pledge to ban fracking ruined his chances in Pennsylvania, but the polls are still close. On Halloween, Pennsylvania’s Attorney General tweeted his party’s determination to carry the state by hook or by crook, continuing to count “votes” until they get the numbers they want.

The Democrats have also warned the television networks against calling the election for President Trump tonight, regardless of where the vote stands. That is to make sure the Democrats have time to find, or manufacture, more votes in the states where they are close, and to pursue lawsuits.

Philadelphia is a notorious haven for voter fraud. In past cycles, there have been Philadelphia precincts that recorded 100% turnout with a virtually unanimous Democratic vote. I think that can be explained only by the assumption that at some point, when there are no Republicans around–sometimes Republican poll watchers have literally been kicked off the premises–Democrats have filled out empty ballots and run them through the machines until they reach the number of ballots on the voter rolls.

DHS Gets Ready for Attacks on DC Federal Buildings

2nd November 2020

Read it.

The Department of Homeland Security is preparing for attacks against any of the dozens of federal buildings in the Washington region it believes might be put under siege by rioters in the days and weeks after the election, according to a DHS spokesman.

“We are concerned about attacks on federal facilities,” the spokesman told the Washington Examiner under anonymity Monday. “[Tuesday], that is our No. 1 mandate where you would see a DHS response.”

Each of the 190 buildings could face extremist violence such as the type that has occurred in Portland over the past few months.

Which was not perpetrated by Republicans.

Perhaps in his second term Trump will tag the Democrat Party as a terrorist organization.

Were They Always Jerks? Or Did Trump Merely Force Them to Come Out of the Closet?

I’m not bothered at all by all the wild anti-Trump rhetoric that we’re seeing as we approach next Tuesday. I fully expect it from the Democrats (and their sycophants in the media), the never-Trumpers, and the Hollywood flapdoodles. But what is really beginning to concern me is the number of historians who have totally nutted up over the Trump presidency.

I suppose I shouldn’t be bothered. However, it’s sometimes difficult for me since I view history, more or less, in the same vein as Professor Terguson (in Back to School). (Warning: if you’re offended by harsh language, you’d better quit the video after the first minute.)

Wealthy Americans Shifting Money, Selling Businesses Ahead of Potential Biden Win

2nd November 2020

Wealthy Americans are rushing to set up trust funds, gift their heirs and philanthropies and even sell their businesses in anticipation for a potential Joe Biden win.

Tax professionals are gearing up for a spike in services should Biden win, as wealthy customers want to make gifts, set up trusts and other funds before the end of the year, according to Axios.

Other families are toying with the possibility of selling their family businesses before Biden could take office in order to avoid 40% in transaction taxes compared to paying 20% this year, per Axios.

Funny how none of this took place when Trump was elected. What do they know that you don’t?

Kevin Peterson Jr., 21, was fatally shot after firing a weapon at police around 6 p.m. Thursday night, the Post reported. Demonstrators reportedly traveled from Portland to the candlelight vigil held in honor of Peterson’s memory.

The Consequences of Trying to Be Woke Enough

1st November 2020

Read it.

I’ve said for a long time that even liberals should stop trying to be woke enough, because there is no such thing as woke enough. Last week brought that reminder to a group of unsuspecting women trying to put together a convention for some sort of sci-fi fan content (I may be wrong about what it actually is, because truthfully I have no idea, even after it was explained to me). After months of work, which included spending significant time trying to find “diverse” speakers and presenters, those in charge of the convention put out an open call for some.

To which the organizers were met with: “You’re just now trying to find diverse presenters?” The tickets were released simultaneously, and the prices listed alongside (which were always listed on their website) and suddenly the narrative was set: the group putting together the convention were racists and scam artists. It took all of twenty-four hours for Twitter bullies to force the cancellation of the convention, scrapping hundreds of hours of work on the part of the organizers.

When Hefner, co-founder of a research platform called Analyst Hub, sold his house this summer to a couple from London, he wondered if it made sense to look beyond the surrounding neighborhoods for a new home.

As we enter the final days of the 2020 presidential election, compliant journalists have protected Joe Biden on many fronts. But the most egregious and shocking is the lack of interest by reporters when it comes to the sexual assault allegation made by former staffer Tara Reade against the Democrat.

After Reade went public in March to assert that Biden forcibly penetrated her while a Senate staffer in 1993, the networks, as well as CNN and MSNBC, buried the story. Since protective journalists don’t want to tell the truth, Reade is telling her own story in a new book called Left Out: When the Truth Doesn’t Fit In.

Thousands fled Paris Thursday night causing 430 miles of traffic jams in and around the French capital as residents evacuated just before a nationwide stay-at-home order was to take effect to stem a second surge of infections from the novel coronavirus.

As of midnight Parisian time, people were ordered to stay at home except for essential work or medical reasons, resulting in many relocating to more rural areas to wait out the month-long lockdown, the BBC reported.

Video posted to Twitter showed never-ending streams of crawling headlights on every road in every direction. There also were reports of restaurants jammed with diners enjoying a last meal out for the time being. Heavy traffic also was reported in and around the cities of Lyon and Bordeaux.

I hope they remember this next election.

Kent State, Nationwide

28th October 2020

Severian blows the whistle.

In an offline, a reader* argues that the Biden/Harris ticket isn’t just a “protect the brand” sacrificial lamb, as I’ve been suggesting. Rather, this is the prelude to them pulling the trigger on massive civil unrest nationwide, which has been the plan all along – go all in; force Trump to roll the tanks. They want another Kent State, in other words, only this time, it’s everywhere.

…unless the pollsters are in on it. We can excuse 2016 — they were wishcasting. They ended up with egg on their faces, but it wasn’t a job killer. This time it will be. The only explanation I can think of that makes sense is that yeah, they’re in on it. The “Biden is leading yuuuuge!” narrative is exactly that, a narrative, so that when Trump wins, the Democrats can jump up and exclaim that the very fact Biden was up so big, yet lost, proves that the GOP rigged the election. And then the riots start for real.

China’s Stateless Nations

28th October 2020

Read it.

The Communist Party has begun expanding the concept of the nation, attempting to create a new type of global entity. But back home, large numbers of people within the country’s borders no longer see themselves as Chinese at all. From Kashgar to Causeway Bay, millions of citizens are beginning to define themselves in direct opposition to the status that appears on their passports. Today we find that the very notion of a “Chinese” identity is being alternately stretched and compressed, warped and concertinaed, and our old classificatory grid provides us with no meaningful guide.

First, the expansion. The Chinese authorities are looking to win recruits to their hyper-nationalist cause, and so Party propaganda now preaches a new China—a China that includes not only the 1.4 billion citizens living within the country’s borders, but also the huaqiao (Chinese citizens living overseas) and the huaren (ethnic Chinese with foreign citizenship).3 “The unity of Chinese at home requires the unity of the sons and daughters of Chinese abroad,” according to a CCP teaching manual for United Front cadres. The Party hopes that by appealing to these vast groups, it can “awaken their ethnic consciousness,” in the semi-mystical words of He Yafei, deputy chief of the Party-run Overseas Chinese Affairs Office (OCAO).

Hitler’s vision was not so all-embracing.

“Two thousand, nine hundred drive-through vehicles came through Yuma sector alone in one year,” recalled Border Patrol’s head of the Yuma region Anthony Porvaznik. “We caught maybe one out of 10 of those, if that. So, we have no idea what got away at that point because there was no fence.”

Most recently, the New York Police Department investigated a vandalism at a Brooklyn church in October,  where a Virgin Mary statue had its hand cut off and was cracked along the head, according to ABC 7. A few weeks prior, police in San Antonio investigated vandalism at a Catholic seminary where glass doors were struck and damaged, and a crucifix was desecrated.

Maybe he was a fan of the pre-Vatican II liturgy and wanted the altar turned back around the way it was for the first 1900 years of Church history. Such people exist; I have met them.

In May 2017 Bret Weinstein and his wife were forced to resign from Evergreen State College following an outcry over his refusal to cancel his class for a day and stay off campus to show solidarity with minority students protests.

In November 2015 a mob of students at Yale University accused college master Nicholas Christakis and his wife Erika of racism following her email suggesting that Yale did not need to oversee Halloween costumes. Subsequently the University conferred graduation prizes on two of the mob members for their “service of race and ethnic relations,” and for their “anti-racist” work.

How 30 Lines of Code Blew Up a 27-Ton Generator

24th October 2020

Read it.

Earlier this week, the US Department of Justice unsealed an indictment against a group of hackers known as Sandworm. The document charged six hackers working for Russia’s GRU military intelligence agency with computer crimes related to half a decade of cyberattacks across the globe, from sabotaging the 2018 Winter Olympics in Korea to unleashing the most destructive malware in history in Ukraine. Among those acts of cyberwar was an unprecedented attack on Ukraine’s power grid in 2016, one that appeared designed to not merely cause a blackout, but to inflict physical damage on electric equipment. And when one cybersecurity researcher named Mike Assante dug into the details of that attack, he recognized a grid-hacking idea invented not by Russian hackers, but by the United State government, and tested a decade earlier.

Change Log

23rd October 2020

ZMan’s commentary to accompany his weekly podcast (which I highly recommend).

The old expression is that change is constant, which is true, but the rate of change is anything but constant. Material progress goes in fits and starts and cultural change is anything but guaranteed. The great cultural revolution that begin in America after the second industrial war is an anomaly. These sorts of sweeping cultural changes are not the norm in human existence. if within this unusual period of change, there have been quiet times when things have not changed much.

For example, the 1980’s were a relatively quiet time on the culture front. In fact, lots of people assumed at the time that the crazy changes of the 60’s and 70’s had finally run their course and things would return to normal. Aesthetically, the 80’s look much more like the 50’s than the 60’s and 70’s, so it made some sense. Then in the 90’s the crazies started getting wound up again and we entered another period of change. In fact, we are still in the second cultural revolution.

The Unapologetic Bias of the American Left

22nd October 2020

Victor Davis Hanson.

An avuncular Walter Cronkite, John Chancellor, Jim Lehrer, or Abe Rosenthal at least went through the motions of reporting news that was awkward or even embarrassing to the Left. Their agenda was 1960s-vintage Great Society liberalism, seen as the natural evolution from the New Deal and post-war internationalism. Edward R. Murrow, the ACLU of old, and Free Speech Movement at Berkeley—these were their liberal referents. Those days are gone.

Yet even during the Obama years, when studies showed the president had received the most slanted media honeymoon in news history, overt media bias was, at least, as hotly denied as it intensified. There were still a few ossified, quarter-hearted efforts now and then to mention the IRS scandal, the surveillance of Associated Press reporters, the various scandals embroiling the Veterans Administration, General Service Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, and the Secret Service. But even that thin pretense is over now, too.
