It’s Time To Topple The Patriarchy With Revolutionary Love Or Something

By William Teach February 14, 2017 – 10:30 am

Another holiday, another day for Progressives to hijack it for something or other. This is what happens when people don’t have jobs and anything better to do

Eve Ensler Wants To Topple The Patriarchy With ‘Revolutionary Love’

Sick and tired of roses and chocolates this Valentine’s Day? Eve Ensler and the One Billion Rising campaign have an alternative V-Day event that might strike your fancy.

Come Feb. 14, One Billion Rising will opt less for cards and candy and more for awareness of the violence endured by women and girls. As it has done every year since 2012, the organization ― which takes its name from a stark statistic claiming one in three women around the world will be beaten or raped during their lifetime* ― will host a series of “risings” in over 200 countries that advocate for the victims of such violence and rail against the impunity that persists in its wake.

Well, that’s a good start. No mention of all the rape that occurs on college campuses run by Liberals or in the Democratic Party run big cities. Of course, it’s going to devolve into a hotbed of far leftism

In New York City, however, the V-Day rising will be unique. Dubbed “Artistic Uprising ― A Call For Revolutionary Love,” the event is not only aimed at shining a light on the women and girls at risk of violence, but also on “refugees, immigrants, Muslims, LGBTQI people, black people, the indigenous, the poor” ― individuals who find themselves under threat in America’s present political climate.

Interesting. Women are treated like, well, utter shit in so many Muslim areas and Muslims (obviously, not all). We’ve seen the rape epidemics in Europe from all the “refugees”. Will there be a discussion of this?

“Activists will RISE against the neo-fascist, racist patriarchy taking hold in governments throughout the world, against bigotry, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, anti-immigration, nativism, white nationalism, climate change denial, imperialist and capitalist aggressions, misogyny and hate,” One Billion Rising wrote in a press release for the NY-specific rally. “From Standing Rock to financial deregulation to the ‘Muslim Ban,’ activists will demand the new regime’s agenda be dismantled.”

I ran across this typical piece of progressive Rage Against Everything (except, of course, Muslims treating women like shit) while looking for ‘climate change’ news. And the rage continues in paragraph after paragraph.

The funny part is that these nutters, who had a legitimate point about sexual assault before going down Wackadoodle Road, fail to understand that their whole politics are based on Progressive ideology, which has its roots in early 20th Century fascism. It’s all about central government dominance.

“We’re seeing an assault on women [here],” Ensler told HuffPost. “This administration has not only escalated [rape culture] but has really normalized it,” she added. “So we are rising for immigrants. We are rising for African-Americans. We are rising for LGBTQIA. We are rising for women. We are rising for everyone in this country who is under siege, which is just about everyone except for white men for as far as I can tell.”

Um, what? Trump has escalated rape culture? Really? How so? These people are deranged. And this is why people tune out. You take a legitimate issue and crank up the crazy from a tropical depression to a category 5 hurricane.

Things That Make Liberals Upset: Ivanka Trump Sitting At POTUS Desk

By William Teach February 14, 2017 – 7:18 am

See, the problem here is that Ivankia is the Wrong Type Of Woman, according to Liberal World, per CBS News, which goes all Twitchy with their use of tweets

The horror!

Some objected to the imageor used it to criticize Ivanka.

“The Oval Office should not be a prop for the president’s daughter,” one user tweeted.

“You have no business in the White House,” posted another. “Our country is not run on nepotism.”

Those are from tweets that are embedded at the article. There are plenty more in response under her tweet. And, plenty in support, as well. But, we also get this in the CBS comments

  • How embarrassing. Just awful, he is so creepy, sleazy and imbecilic. And SO into his own daughter, it just makes you absolutely shudder. The only people pretending not to notice that are completely into their OWN daughters or sons in the good old trailer trash fashion, a game the whole trailer trash family can play.
  • Notice how Trudeau is straining to avoid touching anything
  • Trumpski is not only a liar, a bully, and stupid, but he’s got no class at all. Not a bit. Nada. It’s nice that Canada has a leader they don’t have to be ashamed of .
  • That was the first picture, the other pictures she is lying naked on the desk, Donald Trump lost a bet. I guess that’s his latest executive order
  • No need for her to test if she fits under the desk…we already know there’s plenty of room because Kellyanne and Bannon both fit at the same time.

And even more.

CBS was nice enough to point out that Obama had people sit at the desk, including children. It’s no big deal. But, liberals gotta liberal.

Who Are The Illegal Aliens Democrats Are Supporting In Wake Of Sweeps?

By William Teach February 14, 2017 – 7:01 am

The immigration sweeps have mostly disappeared from the news, in the few days since they occurred. Nevertheless, liberals have been howling over the sweeps, and the Democrat base is still wound up on blogs and social media. Immigration stooge Jorge Ramos had a shoot out with Sean Hannity, and couldn’t really provide any cogent, cohesive, rational, adult arguments for the illegals.

Now, we know that the sweeps, most of which were planned while Obama was still in office, targeted criminals (which begs the question, why were they not deported immediately to start with). Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wanted more details. OK

(LA Times) Federal officials on Monday released details about an immigration sweep in Los Angeles and surrounding counties last week that resulted in the arrest of 161 people living in the country illegally.

Of the 161 people arrested in L.A. and surrounding counties last week, 151 had been convicted of a crime. More than a quarter of those arrested — 42 people — had been convicted of domestic abuse, while an equal number had either drug or assault convictions, according to the statistics released Monday. Seventeen people had been convicted of a sex crime.

Three-quarters of the people arrested came from Mexico, with the rest coming from 12 other countries. Men accounted for most of the arrests, with only seven women in the group.

Some in the group who reentered the U.S. after previously being deported will now face possible criminal prosecution or be deported immediately. By Friday, more than three dozen Mexicans had been deported.

The ICE statement highlighted the more serious criminals in the group, which included a Honduran man who had previously been deported and had convictions for drug trafficking, spousal battery and petty theft, and a Mexican man who already had been ordered deported by an immigration judge and had convictions for drug trafficking, a weapons violation and spousal battery.

The group also included a felon from Jamaica who had prior convictions for a weapons violation, drug trafficking and domestic violence, and an Australian man taken into custody in West Hollywood who was previously convicted of lewd and lascivious acts with a child.

And that’s just the Los Angelos area.

These are the people Democrats are losing their minds over. These are the people Democrats threw their support behind. The Daily Kos, one of the leading leftist blogs, discussed the “racist immigration raids.” Latinos held a “day without Latinos” march in Milwaukee. There was another protest march in Baltimore. And plenty of other marches and shows of support.

They’re showing support for hardcore criminals. This is what it has come to on the political left.

Say, About That “Female Muslim US Olympian Stopped At Airport” Story

By William Teach February 13, 2017 – 4:10 pm

You might have heard about this one as it was screamed from the rafters by Democrats, their base, CAIR, and the Credentialed News

(Washington Examiner)  Reporters are at it again – and again, and again and again.

The latest spun-up, anti-President Trump story involves Ibtihaj Muhammad, a New Jersey native who made headlines last year when she became the first female Muslim-American to win an Olympic medal for the United States.

Muhammad, a lifelong American citizen, claimed in an interview Tuesday that she was detained “just a few weeks ago” by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents. She said she was held for a few hours without explanation.

Of course, the Media Industrial Complex didn’t report it that way. They simply ran with a soundbite from an interview in Popsugar, such as at this article on NJ.com (I hang out there a lot and converse under the name DevilUKnow. Been doing it since 2003 under different names. Used to have the best forums, till the formats were changed). The Examiner article by T. Becket Adams notes all the breatheless reporting by the media.Of course, none of the breathless articles, most of which attempted to link and/or Blame Trump, discussed the so-called “Muslim ban”, and yammered about Islamophobia, asked any basic journalistic questions

I’m wondering if any “news” outlet, such as this one, has asked her to provide proof of the allegation. You can bet if a Republican was making some sort of claim, the media would dig dig dig.

Myself and others asked. Well, days later, guess what?

The problem with this particular news cycle, however, is that the alleged detaining occurred in December, before Trump had even been sworn in as America’s 45th president.

Muhammad clarified several days after her Feb. 7 interview that she meant December 2016 when she said, “just a few weeks ago.”

She even tweeted that it occurred in December 2016, as is screen-captured in the Examiner article. Huh, Adams continues

First, it’s mind-boggling that no one thought to ask her for the exact date on which she was reportedly detained. It’s a basic duty of journalism to get the who, what, where, when, why and how to every story. That no one thought to pursue the “when” is astounding.

Secondly, Muhammad isn’t blameless in all of this. A less-than-charitable person would suspect her of being purposefully vague and imprecise. She was asked a simple “yes or no” question about the president’s immigration order. Instead of giving a simple answer, she provided an anecdote involving the very misleading use of “just a few weeks ago.”

And the media wonders why their credibility is low.

Unsurprisingly, Warmists Link Oroville Dam To Hotcoldwetdry

By William Teach February 13, 2017 – 10:30 am

Now that the permanent drought in California is over (and, of course, the rain and floods are being blamed on ‘climate change’, the same way they blamed the drought), the Cult of Climastrology has to continue the drumbeat of Scary Stories. The Oroville Dam is having a wee bit of an issue

(Fox News) At least 188,000 people were asked to evacuate their homes in Northern California Sunday after authorities warned an emergency spillway in the country’s tallest dam was in danger of failing and unleashing uncontrolled flood waters on towns below.

Lake Oroville, about 150 miles northeast of San Francisco, is one of the state’s largest man-made lakes, and the 770-foot-tall Oroville Dam is the tallest in the U.S.

So, of course, we get

Say, Can SNL Take Down Trump Or Something?

By William Teach February 13, 2017 – 8:26 am

This is seriously where liberals are going with their Trump Derangement Syndrome. Looking at a show which is supposed to be sketch comedy, but is essentially serving as a political venue for one political leaning. A show which pretty much refused to even lightly make fun of Mr. Obama and his people for eight years. Now, though, we get, in the opinion section of CNN

Can SNL topple the Trump administration?

Saturday Night Live is clearly no longer content to just comically fillet Donald Trump. As we saw again in this Saturday night’s episode, they are increasingly going after key members of his staff. And if recent media reports are accurate, this seems to be rattling Trump and causing dissension within his administration.

Whatever happened to “let’s just be original and funny?”

The show opened with Melissa McCarthy reprising her hilarious role from last week as Spicer. This time Spicer tried to remain in control but as time went on he lost it. Soon Spicer was hawking goods for Ivanka Trump’s clothing line, which Nordstrom pulled this week for poor sales. And Spicer even comically commented on the racist underpinnings of Trump’s “extreme vetting” plan by using a white Barbie doll who easily walks by TSA security agents before a brown skinned “Moana” doll is immediately subjected to a pat down.

Is this the best they have? Sneering nastiness? Which then moved on to the same against Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Even during the early years, SNL tended to laugh with Presidents and their people, not take nasty shots. They made good natured fun of Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Jimmy Carter. Gerald Ford liked Chevy Chase’s playing of him so much that Chase was included in several Ford appearances.

Then they ran another skit, this one blasting Kelleyann Conway

Moments later when Tapper arrives at his apartment, he’s confronted — in a loose parody of the classic film “Fatal Attraction” — by an angry lingerie-clad Conway played by McKinnon. She declares she’s “not going to be ignored” by Tapper or any in the media because, “I just want to be part of the news.”

Just imagine that being run against a liberal: it would be deemed sexist and misogynistic. It would be said to be negative against all women for the portrayal of a powerful women in lingerie. There would be protests outside the SNL studios demanding resignations.

Of course, the Weekend Update portion was focused heavily on Trump and his team. Because comedy or something. And, just to continue the originality, they had Alec Baldwin once again running his Trump schtick. At one point, SNL used to be known for it’s originality. The Coneheads. John Belushi’s samurai schtick. Land shark. Emily Litella. I’m Gumby, damnit! Bill Murray’s lounge singer. Classic bits.

So in a time when polls show many Americans distrust the mainstream media, it may just take SNL and comedians to be the voices of reason. Here’s hoping that week after week SNL helps make America laugh again at Trump — and his administration.

So, just another long political skit that proves it’s partisanship. Preaching the to choir won’t take down Trump, any more than the constant worship of John Oliver will. It all begs the question: why can’t comedy just be comedy? It goes along the same route as “can’t we just watch sports to escape from the daily grind?” Some for award shows, movies, TV shows. Can’t we just get away from highly partisan politics for a change?

Immigration Raids Yield Over 600, Creating Fear In Illegal Aliens

By William Teach February 13, 2017 – 8:06 am

What, exactly, is making illegal aliens fearful? The majority of people caught up in the sweeps were targeted because they are felons. People who have done very wrong. People who should have been deported the minute they were let out of jail. So, if most illegal aliens are just “good people,” why be concerned?

(NY Times) Federal immigration officials arrested more than 600 people across at least 11 states last week, detaining 40 people in the New York City area, law enforcement officials said on Sunday.

It remained unclear whether the actions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were part of continuing operations to round up illegal immigrants with criminal convictions or a ramping-up of deportations by the Trump administration.

President Trump proclaimed on Twitter early Sunday morning: “The crackdown on illegal criminals is merely the keeping of my campaign promise. Gang members, drug dealers & others are being removed!”

But Gillian Christensen, acting press secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, said, “The focus of these targeted enforcement operations is consistent with the routine, targeted arrests carried out by ICE’s Fugitive Operations Teams on a daily basis.”

The contradiction heightened an already swelling fear among immigrants and their advocates.

Notice that the initial focus of the article is on Trump, not the good news that hundreds of people unlawfully present in the United States with criminal records were rounded up. And, if wasn’t for a few small quotes, there wouldn’t even be a mention of most of the people being criminals, with crimes like rape and assault, and worse.

And this is making people who are unlawfully present in the US fearful

(Chicago Tribune) Pastor Fred Morris looked out over his congregation Sunday as news ricocheted around the world that American authorities were rounding up immigrants in an enforcement surge that President Donald Trump promised on the campaign trail.

Parishioners did not smile as on any other Sunday morning. They stared down at their feet. Others didn’t attend at all.

“There is a dreadful sense of fear. It’s more than palpable. It’s radiating. People are terrified,” said Morris, whose United Methodist mission is in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood of Los Angeles. “They were just sitting there in stunned silence.”

For days, fear and confusion have gripped immigrant communities after word spread that federal agents were rounding up hundreds of immigrants in cities across the country. The scope of the operation remained unclear on Sunday.

And well they should be, if they are, even at a minimum, here in the U.S. illegally. This meme is repeated in article after article after article. And it is causing liberals to howl. Even though the vast majority are, again, serious criminals, liberals have found it in themselves to support them. Why? Ask them. They won’t answer.

But, hey, CNN’s Joey Jackson says we need a new reality check

But while these raids are not new in and of themselves, advocates and others watching these raids unfold are right to worry whether this President is casting a wider net and expanding the objective in ICE enforcement beyond national security. Of the 160 illegal immigrants arrested during the Trump raids, the vast majority had felony convictions and merited deportation. To be sure, the federal government has a solemn obligation to secure the borders and to protect the public. But there are questions as to the other arrests. The concern from a justice perspective, then, is not the enforcement effort itself. The executive branch enforces the law, and any President is entitled to do so in the manner he deems most effective in keeping with his philosophy. Instead, the concern lies in whether enforcement will be over broad and unduly aggressive.

It’s all right there: an obligation to secure the borders and protect the public. There is no “but”. There is no “unduly aggressive” when it comes to arresting and deporting those who are unlawfully present. Unduly aggressive is giving a ticket to kids running a lemonade stand and requiring them to get a permit, or shutting them down. Unduly aggressive is suspending a child who bit a Pop Tart into the shape of a gun. If you’re concerned with arresting criminals, perhaps you should reevaluate your personal philosophy.

It’s one thing to be tough on immigration. It’s yet another to be fair. Those watching closely are right to be worried about current trends, but should take comfort in knowing that immigration courts will serve as a check upon any overreach by ICE in conducting these raids and carrying out the President’s enforcement initiatives. But we should really reality-check ourselves, too, and ask whether a country like the United States, which sets the standard for the world in human rights, can’t provide a better example to the world.

Why don’t we ask the citizens who had their lives ruined due to identity theft from illegals. Who have seen their wages stagnate partly due to illegal aliens? Who have been harmed by illegals? Who have seen emergency rooms shut because illegals use them too much? Who drain resources away from citizens? What of the human rights of those who are citizens? Should they not come first?

And don’t forget to check out what I declare to be our War on Women Rule 5 and linky luv posts and things that interest me

Don’t forget to check out all the other great material all the linked blogs have!

Anyone else have a link or hotty-fest going on? Let me know so I can add you to the list. (BTW, since someone asked, the reason I leave links for the previous week up (or you might see a *) is because they are place holders for later in the day or for next weeks.

If you see one of the *’s, go ahead and check out the blog anyhow, see if there is an update. I cannot update with my Android during the day.
