A day that ends in Y in NYC

According to The Huffington Post a female to male transgender artist has collected 200 gallons of her urine for an art exhibit to protest President Trump.

The piece, PISSED, was created in response to President Donald Trump’s February decision to rescind President Obama’s directive that transgender students should be able to use the restroom that corresponds with their gender identity. PISSED will be unveiled at the gallery on Saturday night when, according to a press release for the show, Cassils will perform a related piece, Fountain, and thereby complete “the 200 day durational performance by linking their body to the minimalist structure.”

It’s very different from the rest of my performances that are kind of visually bombastic. I will be facing the sculpture on a very, very high [platform] — probably like 10 feet up in the air, so you’re not eye-line with my crotch. I’m looking down on you. And behind me, is a grid of the 262 orange 24-hour urine capture bottles I used and they create another cube. There’s one space left, which is the one final bottle. So for the two hours of the exhibition opening, I will literally just be standing up there and pissing into the bottle if I have to piss. And at the end of the performance I will climb down and I will dump the urine into the cube and I will place that final bottle on the shelf. So it’s really about closing this piece down.

So, what we have here is a disgusting freak putting 200 gallons of fetid piss on the streets of New York City.

Under Mayor Bill de Blasio, that’s just another weekday in the Big Apple.

The only thing strange about it is that it’s 200 gallons all at once.

Dear Ultra-Left LGBT community,

Understand, this is the kind of shit that turns normals against you.

Legal Advice

An insurance adjuster from New Jersey was stopped for speeding in Tennessee.  He had $22,000 in cash on him which was taken as per civil asset forfeiture laws in Tennessee.

Here is the take away from this video.  A bit of free legal advice:

  1. ALWAYS PLEAD THE FIFTH
  2. NEVER CONSENT TO A SEARCH
  3. NEVER, EVER CONSENT TO A SEARCH
  4. NEVER, EVER, EVER CONSENT TO A SEARCH
  5. SEE RULES 1 THRU 4

According to Associate Supreme Court Justice Robert Houghwout Jackson, “Any lawyer worth his salt will tell the suspect, in no uncertain terms, to make no statement to the police under any circumstances.”

Watch the video below presented by a lawyer and a police officer to back me up on this.

I feel bad for this guy from New Jersey, but it was his fuck up.  Tennessee is notorious for it’s bad civil asset forfeiture laws.

TN Officer: “Do you have any large sums of money on you?”

Dumb guy: “Around $20K.”

Smart guy: “I invoke my Fifth Amendment right to remain silent.”

TN Officer: “Can I search your vehicle?”

Dumb guy: “I’ve got nothing to hide, sure.”

Smart guy: “No.”

See the difference, it’s not hard.

So Close to Salvation

Back in September, in Knightdale, N.C., one Deondre Branch stole 10 bras from a Wal-Mart.  He was chased by police when he then broke into an office while feeling.

One Connie Wells was in the office, working, when the break-in occurred.  Fearing for her life, she drew her concealed carry handgun and shot Branch in the neck.

Branch may now never walk again.

According to his father, he shouldn’t have been shot for stealing some bras.

Not really understanding where that come about, where he was a threat to someone in order for him to get shot…  A crime is a crime, but there are levels to everything. Shoplifting is not right, by no means, but that is no fashion in comparison to your life… He is a great kid. In life you make bad choices.

Do these parents get a script from the reporter of what to say?  Word for word it’s always the same “he was a good kid” and “the crime he did wasn’t worth shooting him over.”

So lets go to the tape (I couldn’t find an embedable version, so the link is to the news report).

Yes, that is a man kicking down a 150 lbs, solid core, exterior grade security door.

I’m pretty sure Ms. Wells had every reason to fear for her life after that.

Deondre Branch, survived somewhat worse for the wear.  The good news is, I don’t think the law of Ballistic Beatification applies to the living.

 

Campus Nazi Correction

A few days ago I made a post about campus Nazis at the University of Utah.

The central figure in that post was a person I described as “This skinny, gender neutral, pantywaist with his smug grin, nerd glasses, pink sweater, and earring.”  At the time he was openly stating that The Constitution was no longer relevant in America.

Late last night, Miguel sent me a picture gleaned from his social media.

Yep, that’s him.

I would like to make a correction to my previous post.  This is not a Nazi.

He is, in the immortal words of the great Charlie Daniels one “of them long haired, hippy-type, pinko fags!  I betchya he’s even got a commie flag tacked up on the wall inside of his garage.”

Well, he’s wearing his commie flag with a picture of Fidel Castro tacked up on the wall of his living room.  Close enough.

The most amazing thing is, this Communist shit has the EXACT same look – hair, smug look, stupid face – as the West Point communist Lt Spenser Rapone.

I’m getting really fed up with these campus commies who want to destroy everything the United States stands for because some professor is telling them just how horrible American freedom is and how great Soviet communism was, in between lessons on how math is racist.

I really don’t know how much longer this can go on.  At what point we reach a critical mass of campus commies released into the wild.

The only thing that gives me hope is that the battle lines are being drawn between one side that can’t decide between 9mm and 45 ACP and another that can’t decided if they are men or women.

DC vs America – Dossier Edition

I’ve been trying to follow all the news going on about the Trump Dossier, Uranium One, the Podesta Group, and the DNC.

I keep hearing discussion about whether or not one action was legal while another was illegal.

Yes it is important to figure all that out.  What I have not seen is a single person remotely associated with Washington discuss the fact that this is all skeezy as fuck.

Whatever happened to that standard?

There is an axiom “the appearance of impropriety is as bad as impropriety itself.”

The media (especially the Liberal leaning outlets) went nuts over Vice President Mike Pence’s personal policy of not going out for a meal with women who were not his wife without his wife there.

He was mocked, called a sexist, and thought pieces kept saying how that was the type of behavior that hurts women and kept them from power.  I saw no one say “this is a man who is doing his best to avoid the appearance of impropriety, and that is commendable.”

I think this is the biggest disconnect between “the Elites” and normal Americans.  For many people, it’s not just a matter of “legal vs. illegal” but “honest vs. skeezy.”  Most Americans will still avoid something that may be legal but distasteful.

Compare this to what we all know now about Hollywood.  The internal currency of Hollywood is sex and silence.

Since Harvey Weinstein’s exposure, I’ve seen a growing number of stories about the number of actresses who had worked with Weinstein and how they had been harassed.  Jennifer Lawrence is not one of them, which has lead to the conspiracy theory that her meteoric rise to super-stardom in a number of major Weinstein productions was due more to her bedroom abilities than acting abilities.

I don’t know if this is true, but THE APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY IS  IMPROPRIETY.

And, of course, we all know how tightly joined at the hip Hollywood is to DC, especially the DNC.

The Washington spokespeople who go on TV to explain all of this from their side are missing the point with me.

I don’t care if what Hillary or Trump or the DNC did was technically legal, I want to know why you though it was perfectly okay to be skeezy as fuck?

Why should I reward a bunch of slimy shit-weasels for out sliming another bunch of shit-weasels.

Then again, these people generally look down on us normals as knuckle-dragging rubes.  Our values and ethics are backwards and quaint.  It seems as through our elite “deep thinkers” feel that they don’t need to be bound to our provincial notions of right and wrong.

Still…

I believe the White House and Capitol shouldn’t be the prize for being the most unethical, feculent, supine, mendacious, perfidious, sleazy, piece of shit of the bunch.

More Anti-Math Activism

Back in May, I wrote a post about a math professor in Hawaii who was demanding that no more white men be hired as math professors.

I delved into her background and found that she seems to know nothing about math, wrote a dissertation that could be described as a “steaming pile of nonsensical, Social Justice bullshit,” and didn’t actually teach math to her students.

I thought that her being allowed to teach was an assault on civilization.  Math is the universal language.  It “adds up” regardless of race, religion, ideology, etc.  Destroying math education will not make society any better in any way.

Yesterday I came across another article about a different math professor going even further off the anti-math deep end.  The cancer is spreading.

Rochelle Gutiérrez published in Building Support for Scholarly Practices in Mathematics Methods that Algebra and Geometry perpetuate “whiteness” and “white privilege.”

“On many levels, mathematics itself operates as Whiteness. Who gets credit for doing and developing mathematics, who is capable in mathematics, and who is seen as part of the mathematical community is generally viewed as White.”

According to Campus Reform:

Further, she also worries that evaluations of math skills can perpetuate discrimination against minorities, especially if they do worse than their white counterparts.

“If one is not viewed as mathematical, there will always be a sense of inferiority that can be summoned,” she says, adding that there are so many minorities who “have experienced microaggressions from participating in math classrooms… [where people are] judged by whether they can reason abstractly.”

To fight this, Gutierrez encourages aspiring math teachers to develop a sense of “political conocimiento,” a Spanish phrase for “political knowledge for teaching.”

Gutierrez stresses that all knowledge is “relational,” asserting that “Things cannot be known objectively; they must be known subjectively.”

What I gather here is that we shouldn’t be teaching students Algebra or Geometry – really conceptual math in general – because white people are bad and being good at math is white.

What I don’t understand is the end game of all this.

Option 1: we don’t teach minority students math.

Result 1: minority kids lack the skills to get good jobs in medicine, STEM, accounting, business, etc.  They fall further behind economically.

Option 2: we don’t teach any students math.

Result 3: Middle/Upper class white parents (except for the extreme SJW ideologues) who care about our children pay for tutors to do what teachers wont – hooray capitalism.  Minority kids suffer the same fate as Result 1.

Option 3: we successfully destroy math education in America and nobody gets a good math education because there are no more math teachers.

Result 3: Society regresses into the stone age.  I use my knowledge of chemistry to build an post apocalyptic empire based on turning my enemies’ fat and wood ash into soap.

None of this actually makes anybody’s life better, especially minorities.  We will end up with fewer minorities in good paying, professional jobs.  Saying “math perpetuates whiteness” is like saying “reading perpetuates whiteness” and that it’s okay for black students to be illiterate.

We’ve all dealt with the Burger King employee who can’t read and screws up even the most basic order.  They are not going to get out of poverty anytime soon.

This is the future Social Justice wants.

It’s not math alone that they want to destroy.

A feminist professor at the University of California Davis want to teach “anti-science, antiracist, feminist approach to knowledge production.”

Thanks Dr. Harpy McSugartits.  I can’t think how tearing down the more than 3,000 year old foundation of modern science helps women.

Modern feminism – eliminating the development of new breast cancer treatments since 2017.

At least they can be ideologically pure while dying of disease by 40.

Wherein I Ruin My Vacation

I caught this story over at Joe Huffman’s blog about packing two Spyderco Delicas on a cruise ship.

Apparently the ship’s security was a British citizen who, so indoctrinated against the most primitive of tools, though that a 2-7/8 inch knife with a locking blade was the ne plus ultra of hand to hand murder weapons.

To make matters worse it was not just one knife but TWO.

I’m pretty sure I’d of been in a similar situation, I have been in the past.

I’m just not as good as biting my tongue as our intrepid voyager here.

Hinchliffe: Why do you carry two knives?

Joe: [What difference does that make? Norwegian Cruise rules don’t put a limit on the number of knives only on the length of the blade. According to the rules I can have 10, 100, or 1000 knives. But you don’t care about the written rules, do you?

(He gets his knives back)

Alternatively

J.Kb.: Why do you have two balls?  Then again, judging by your fear of lock back knives, you probably don’t.  

(I get my knives confiscated and get thrown off the cruise)

Interestingly enough, I was visiting New York City to see a buddy of mine.  He took me to see the Empire State Building.  I had a knife on me, probably a Spyderco Delica too.

To get to the observation deck, you have to pass through metal detectors.  They have a coat room where you can check items not allowed to the observation deck, so I checked my pocket knife.

I was challenged by the security guard who wanted to know why I was “such a tough guy” (I remember those words exactly) that I needed to carry a knife, then proceed to get a dressing down by some security guard behind a counter who make Michael Moore look fit.

This was many years ago, it was the summer after my Sophomore year of college and my buddy was working as an intern in NYC.  It was a little more than a year after 9/11 and just at the beginning of the invasion of Iraq, and much of the US was in full blown patriotism mode.

I was ROTC at the time and doing some training with the Indiana National Guard, and was on leave.  I had my military ID on me.

The manager came over to see what was going on and asked for my ID.  I could of handed over my drivers licence but pulled out my military ID instead.

That Fat Ass McBully realized in an instant he had fucked up.  Picking on a soldier was not acceptable in the recent post 9/11 zeitgeist.

It was apologies all around and being ushered to the front of the line.

Today, I’d probably be in prison.
