AOC and her fawning media hit new heights for antisemtism

Jun 19, 2019 J. Kb 8 comments

The other day, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did another one of her live streams to her followers on Instagram.

Instead of demonstrating her ignorance about garbage disposals or explaining how growing climate-appropriate crops was racist, she decided to shit on the memory of the Holocaust.

Yes, really.

She claimed that the detention centers on America’s southern border are concentration camps.  And if that is not enough of an invocation of Nazism, she had to include saying “never again.”

Also, just as a side note, she also immediately dismisses anybody who disagrees with her assessment as lacking any sort of humanity or morality.  Her’s is not an opinion, it is right, and to disagree with this is evil.

The thing is, she’s factually wrong.  Like just about always.

Due to Federal law, political squabbling, and some court decisions, the government has created a disastrous situation that many people are taking advantage of on our southern border.

Any person who enters the United States under any condition and says the word “asylum” must be processed through the immigration courts.  Border Patrol or INS cannot say “you’re not from a country suffering from a recognized humanitarian crisis, no asylum for you.”  An asylum claim requires a hearing, and we don’t have enough judges or lawyers to process people quickly.

Any person who comes to the US with a child and claims asylum can only be held apart from their child for 72 hours.

As a result of this and other things, people who enter the United States illegally with a child and claim asylum are essentially let go into the US after three days, with a notice to appear in the future at an asylum hearing.  If they don’t show up for it, they can be deported, but there is no great movement to find, arrest, and deport these people.

Pretty much our government has created a magic word that allows anybody who can get two feet inside the US border to stay in the US illegally indefinitely.

Because of the value of children as a “get out of jail in 72 hours” card, children are being smuggled back and forth across the border and recycled to be used as cover for multiple illegal immigrants.

As a result, over 100,000 people per month are pouring across our Southern border.  We’re not talking just about people who came on foot from Central or South America.  People from Africa and other parts of the world are traveling to Mexico to cross illegally into the United States.

We have no idea who they are, if they are criminals or terrorists, what diseases they might have – remember that there is an Ebola breakout in the Congo right now.

Our usual processing centers are full so the Federal government has had to build tent cities along the border to hold and process these people as best they can.

The Federal government is not kicking down doors to mass arrest American citizens because of their ethnicity or the color of their skin.  They are not starving and working people to death, or gassing them and burning their bodies.  The Federal government is trying to process a hundred thousand people per month who are crossing into the United State by swimming across a river or hopping a fence in the desert.

By every objective standard, there is nothing similar between a Concentration Camp and what is happening at the US border.

When that was pointed out, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doubled down.

So after slandering what Border Patrol/INS is doing on the border as concentration camps in the most Nazi sense of the term by invoking “never again” she does for broke and wants to change the terminology of what the Nazis to justify her stance.

Also, the part of “the mass detention of civilians without trial” is horseshit since these are people being held while waiting for a hearing.  A trial is the next step for these people.

Congresswoman At Large fo Wyoming, Liz Chaney called AOC out for her ridiculous and offensive comparison and AOC shot back with more nonsensical Social Justice horseshit.

This is so insane I can’t parse it.  Congresswoman Cheney didn’t defend concentration camps, and I’m not sure how “exterminated” co-opts the language of the oppressor.  That is exactly what happened.

This is crazy-eyes, batshit insanity.

Temporarily detaining people who wantonly, flagrantly, and willfully violated US law until we can do some paperwork on them is in no way tantamount, let alone similar to the systematic mass arrest, imprisonment, and extermination of a group of people because of their religion and/or ethnicity.

Holding people who broke immigration law is not dehumanizing.  Calling Jews rats and vermin, or depicting them as octopuses trying to take over the world is dehumanizing.

I have not heard one Republican use language about illegal immigrants that in any way is equivalent to what the Nazis said about Jews.

I have heard a Democrat Congresswoman say that the Jews have hypnotized the world to ignore their evil.

I could go on and on, for those that care about objective facts, but the group Americans Against Antisemitism did a really nice bullet point breakdown of this.

I would say, Dov Hikind is wrong about one thing.  Nazi concentration camps did have doctors, they just didn’t treat patients.

Speaking of which, have there been any reports of illegal immigrants vivisected or twins sewn together?  I haven’t heard of any.

You’d think that something this viciously wrong would be easy to condemn, but the media is so in against Trump and so in support of AOC, that they too had to defend this ludicrous position.

Because “never again” hasn’t become something associated with Jewish education about the Holocaust?  That seems to be the tip-off right there.

That was so terrible that the Auschwitz Memorial had to correct him.

In Roman times, when a man embarrassed himself in public as badly as Hayes did, he was forced to regain his honor by placing the pommel of his sword on the ground and falling onto the blade.  Some intern needs to fetch Chris Hayes a sword.

A Leftist historian decided to jump into equating our border situation with Japanese internment and trying to back up AOC.

This may be a fine “well actually…” but it makes the same point.  Japanese Americans, as in US citizens (born or naturalized) and legal immigrants were rounded up out of their homes in the US.  They were also going to be held for an indeterminate amount of time (as long as the war lasted).

That is different than the temporary detainment of illegal border crossers.

One Tweet I saw in this thread made me wish I had Twitter just to respond.

Zerlina Maxwell is a political contributor at MSNBC.

She’s deep in the Lefty bubble, but it’s clear that she doesn’t realize that we on the Right know all about Japanese internment.  It is one of the reasons that many of us are gun owners.  It is also something that we point out every time a Democrat praises President FDR for one Progressive reason or another.

It’s always really sad when you discover how little Democrats know about the horrible atrocities other Democrats have done to POCs.  Japanese Interment, the Trail of Tears, and Jim Crow being on that list.  Maxwell assumes white people don’t know because I doubt she’s ever talked to a Conservative white person.

And just to drive home the insanity of all of this, here is George Takei to be an utter fool on this topic.

A man who was thrown into a concentration camp by Democrats as a child comes out to defend another Democrat for trivializing concentration camps.

Progressivism causes brain damage, there is no way around that fact.

There is one logical reason that AOC and the radical Left has chosen to trivialize the enormity of the Holocaust or even Japanese internment, and that is because they have no alternative.

Temporary detainment in tent cities is a terrible option but it is what INS has been reduced to by Congressional inaction.

If this is equated to concentration camps and the public demands the end of this practice, what else is there?  How does the government hold and process over 100,000 people per month?

It can’t.  Catch and release simply defaults or open borders.

What AOC is doing is deliberately misusing the history of the Holocaust and insulting the victims to manipulate America into an open borders position.

It is ugly, evil, vile, and antisemitic, and totally on brand for the Progressive Left in the United States.

Why I think my missing gun is malfeasance

Jun 19, 2019 J. Kb 8 comments

I thought I would address why I believe my gun going missing through UPS is not an accident but deliberate malfeasance.

This is a screen grab of the most up to date tracking history for my package.

It went from Wilson Combat in Arkansas to an attempted delivery at my house in Huntsville.

I missed the delivery to my door and requested a hold for pickup.

You can see that was completed last Thursday.

Then Monday it was delivered in Ohio.

Why did it come out of holding for pickup and go out again on a truck?

Well, I did a screen grab of that from last week for my records.

At 5:53 AM Thursday morning my gun was ready for pickup.

Less than an hour later it was relabeled as “incorrectly sorted” and back in transit.

Again, how if my package was set aside, ready for me to come by and pick it up was it later incorrectly sorted and back in transit?

Why did anybody have any reason to touch it before I walked in the UPS door on Friday to get my box?

I have asked people at UPS and their answer is “it’s weird” and “that shouldn’t have happened.”

I believe somebody saw it in holding, pulled it out, and labeled it as “incorrectly sorted” in order to make it disappear.

If it was accidentally put on the wrong truck, why was it then delivered in Ohio?  It shouldn’t have been delivered to the wrong address.  It had to be signed for, so how did nobody in Ohio notice that the address on the box was Huntsville, Alabama?

This tracking history doesn’t look like an “oopsie, we put it in the wrong pile.”

This looks like a lot of deliberate fuckery to make a gun disappear.

An Opinion piece that misses the target.

Jun 19, 2019 Miguel.GFZ 2 comments

Scott Martelle (WTF is going on with the people with that name?)  penned an opinion piece for the LA Times that the Miami Herald dutifully regurgitated in its pages (also cheaper than actually paying a salary to somebody)

I am just going to quote the top and the end of his article:

As bad as the pace and scope of the nation’s mass shootings have become, with death tallies sometimes counted in the dozens, chances are good that they are only going to get worse.
And you can blame gun manufacturers and firearms enthusiasts who are driving a market for ever-larger high-capacity gun magazines.

and

Congress did prohibit outsize magazines and assault weapons in 1994 as part of a sweeping anti-crime bill. But lawmakers let those provisions expire in 2004, and Congress has refused to renew or revive them ever since.

The biggest advertiser who helped push “larger gun magazines” was the Federal government, not the manufacturers. It was Clinton and Congress passing the Assault Weapons Ban (notice how Mr. Martelle does not use AWB but only mentions the “sweeping anti-crime bill.”) He does not mention that even though no new “High Cap” magazines were manufactured during that 10 year ban, the manufacturers went into crazy production schedules to the point that albeit expensive, the market was never without those magazines. Martelle also fails to mention  when that law reached its sunset and it was possible to partake into buying the magazines that were designed to go with these weapons, people changed their shopping strategies and no longer bought a gun with a spare magazine, but the new normal became to have at least 5 extra magazines per firearm owned and that led to many companies opening up for business and providing the demand.

But you know what really drove the market for people to buy big magazines by the truckloads one the prohibition was lifted? The insult that the government had no problem buying the “large magazines” for themselves during that time and rubbing it in our faces by stamping them like this:

 

“Restricted Military/Gov’t/Law Enforcement/Export use only.”

And the last insult was that the Government had no problem selling the magazines to some corrupt foreign entity who would probably either use them against its people or sell it to the local organized crime enterprises. But selling them to Law Abiding Joe Schmoe? Hell no!

So dear Mr Martelle, it is not the manufacturers “pushing” from large magazines, the pushing was done by the Government and it was so powerful 15 years later still drives the business. Of course, drivel like yours also gives sales a little push. I may need a couple of mags myself now that I think about it.

Former BSO Sheriff Scott Israel still trying to come back

Jun 19, 2019 Miguel.GFZ 1 comment
Screen capture from yesterday Herald’s Facebook page.

And you have to give it to the guy, he has a very vocal minority supporting him in Social Media. And with the elections approaching, Governor De Santis has suddenly become the Standard Evil Republican for the Left and the Media (but I repeat myself) so anything that can stain him will be used even if it means supporting a disgraced character like Israel.

Unfortunately for the ousted Sheriff, he was nt removed because of politics but because he simply failed in his duties, among them to keep those under his command properly trained. From yesterday’s local Channel 10.

And still, I would not be surprised if Israel tries to be re-elected as Sheriff or to another position and actually win with the support of the Broward Democrat Elections machine.

It has to be a matter of of personality

Jun 19, 2019 J. Kb 8 comments

My weight loss, which had been going well has sort of plateaued.

I’ve been told to increase my cardio to break through it.

So I bought an exercise bike.  I have arthritis in my spine and being a big guy trying to run, it makes my back go out.

I love to lift.  I go to the gym and work out with weights for an hour and love every minute of it.  The more it burns, the better.

Ten minutes on that fucking bike in my garage and I’m ready to give up nuclear launch codes.

I just don’t understand people who like to run or bike, they have to be nuts.

I’ll push through this because I want to get healthier for my kids, but don’t expect me to enjoy it.  I’d rather be doing pullups.

Dear moderate gays, get your crazies under control

Jun 19, 2019 J. Kb 5 comments

I have said this before, and I will say it again because bears repeating.

Human beings are a gregarious species.  We live our lives interacting with each other in communities.

We generally want those interactions to be peaceful.  Part of what makes a community or nation or civilization sustainable peaceful are social norms expected codes of personal conduct.

Through history, religion has served as the basis for establishing rules and norms, with ritual being used to reinforce them and pass them down to the next generation.

Even without religion norms and codes of conduct exist and need to exist.

When everybody adheres to the norms, societies function quite well.

Some progress is needed in society.  I will agree that sometimes the rules and norms are stifling and they need to be relaxed a little bit.

A. Little. Bit.

However, when people stray too far out of the norms, or the norms are done away with altogether, bad things happen.  That social cohesion that comes from everybody knowing what the rules are and following them falls apart.

Most people don’t like to live in the uneasy conditions of a dis-cohesive society.  Eventually, the normals will force the rules back into play.

This is the cycle of history.  Societies become more liberalized until they pop and the pendulum swings back in a reformation.  If the religious wars of Europe show us anything, these reformations can be very bloody.

Are Pride Parades Kid-Friendly? Parents Say Children Can Handle The Kink

Excuse me?

Who in the fuck wrote the words “Children Can Handle The Kink” and thought it was a good idea.

I can feel the glue of civil society starting to dissolve when I read them.

Each year, in the blazing sun of the Pride parade in Nelson, B.C., Pega Ren and her two young grandkids seek shade under their spinning rainbow parasols.

Ren, a semi-retired sex therapist, told HuffPost Canada the parasols were a magical find, and have come to symbolize the importance of this event for her family. Ren spoke joyfully of going to the dollar store, picking up all the rainbow ribbons and flags, decorating the roller skates and the stroller, and getting the costumes ready.

“I can’t imagine a safer place for families to bring children,” she said of Pride.

A resounding chorus of voices — from within the queer community and not — would agree with this general sentiment about Pride parades and kids. But in late May, one tweet turned it into a bigger conversation.

Call me a bigot, but this is not something I want my children to see on a city street.  We don’t need to have a bigger conversation about why it’s inappropriate to flash your asshole in bondage gear in public.

https://twitter.com/IndyaMoore/status/1137790366609006593

The post asked parade participants not to “sexualize” Pride and to leave their fetish and kink at home, for the sake of minors.

Anyone who has been to a parade has likely seen the procession of leather animal costumes, kinky costumes in every hue, and more skin than is normally exposed in public.

Although the post and account have since been deleted, the tweet got many people talking: How child-appropriate are Pride festivities? And why does this discussion hit a nerve for the LGBTQ+ community?

“At some level this has always been part of a much larger debate of what Pride is,” David Rayside, a retired politics and sexual diversity professor at the University of Toronto, told HuffPost Canada.

“Pride has always had a kind of outrageous edge to it. And should we alter that? It is not the Santa Claus parade, and it never was. It shouldn’t be. It can’t be.”

You know what I want to see in a Pride Parade?

A bunch of men in suits or shirts and slacks, calmly and quietly walking, waving at the crowd.

Why?  Because that’s how normal people behave.

Showing your asshole in a leather thong to children is not normal.

That said, Rayside added, not only is it important for parents to bring their kids, but “I’ve seen thousands of kids at Pride, and I’ve never seen anyone fuss about what they see there.”

In fact, many parents would fuss at the thought of not bringing kids to these events.

Bad parents.

“There is absolutely no reason not to take our kids to Pride — it’s a fun day, there are a lot of bubbles, rainbow streamers and enjoyable performances,” writer, educator, and publisher S. Bear Bergman told HuffPost Canada.

Plus, as queer parents, it’s one of their cultural festivals, added Bergman, who who attends Toronto Pride every year with his kids.

“It’s their right as queer spawn. And as a parent, I might want to take my kids to Pride, because they might be lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer or two-spirit.”

This right here is a problem.  You are telling me that being gay and gay culture is inseparable from libertine fetishism.  For straight people to accept gay people that means that straight people have to accept grotesque displays of overt sexuality in front of children.  That is not going to happen.

The innocence of children has been a Juedo-Christan cultural norm for thousands of years.  This is not one to me chipped away at lightly.

Politics have a prominent place in Pride, Rayside said, but “it is also about outrage,” a time when some in the community express this “in ways that confront normal sensibilities.”

This is treading on very thin ice.

The freedom to do so is embedded within LGBTQ+ culture and history. These expressions are the most colourful during the parade.

Bergman defended these elements and their right to exist at a kid-friendly event.

“First of all, nobody likes nakedness more than children,” Bergman said.

I’ll take “things pedophiles say for 900, Alex.”

“On the list of things that I don’t want my children ever to be exposed to are: Compulsory heterosexuality, demonstrations of sexism, demonstrations of racism, demonstrations of ablism, violence. These are all way higher on the list than some homosexual’s tuchus.”

This is suuuuuuper woke.  It’s also a false dichotomy.

Putting on her sex therapist hat, Ren emphasized that Pride, from kink to nakedness, is an excellent opportunity for parents to do unbiased sex education.

“Look at that queer’s asshole on a parade float” is not “unbiased sex education.”

Bergman also pointed out that many children don’t even interpret most of what they’re seeing in a Pride parade as sexual, but rather as dress-up or fun.

I’ll take “things pedophiles say for 1000, Alex.”

This Bergman guy needs to understand that he sounds like a child molester trying to groom a victim.

“Children benefit from seeing people loving one another, from seeing diversity and inclusion. Children suffer from seeing violence and fear, hatred and divisiveness,” Ren said.

But love and kink are not the same thing.  My wife and I can show each other affection in front of our children without either of them seeing my asshole.

I don’t know what kind of sex therapy sex education Ren here has, but exposing children to sex at an early age harms them.

Victims of child molestation suffer deep emotional damage are frequently scarred for life.  They often have issues as adults with emotional connectedness and physical intimacy because the way many molesters (especially familial molesters) tell children that the sexual abuse is a sign of love.

“Two men flashing their assholes at gawking crowds is just how they show love” is not something anybody with experience in dealing with the victims of childhood sexual abuse would say.

I honestly don’t care what two consenting adults do in private.

Overt and kinky sexualization in public in front of children falls outside the cultural norms of civil society.

Saying “you’re a homophobic bigot if you don’t let me engage in my sexual fetish in public in front of children, that’s my gay culture” stretches the fabric of society to its breaking point.

I can guarantee that there are more parents who want to preserve the innocence of their children than there are gay people.

Knowing the cycle of history, it is best to let society progress slowly.

You’re here, you’re queer, we got used to it.

You’re here, you’re queer, and you want to act like perverts around our kids?  No.

Normal gays, you need to get the radical gays in line because – and I’ve said this before on a wide range of topics – the pushback will suck.
