Two-Minute Hate, Unintended Consequences

“Modern feminism can’t agree on what a woman is. It’s defended violent male predators in women’s prisons and stayed silent on UK rape gangs to avoid being called racist.” — SOTI.

There are all sorts of social couplings [sic]  that anyone with a brain could see would lead to trouble.  (Note the “with a brain” stipulation;  this will be important later.)  Allow me to list but a few.

  • Men (even men who think they’re women) allowed access to a woman’s changing room:  trouble.
  • Homosexual Boy Scout leaders being allowed to run Scout troops full of young boys:  trouble.
  • Female sailors forced to share quarters with male sailors on board a Navy vessel:  trouble.
  • Male prison warders being employed in women’s prisons:  trouble.
  • Female prison warders being employed in men’s prisons.  trouble.

My point is that common sense would dictate that all the above should be recognized as being potentially troublesome, because everyday experience (not to mention history) can provide endless examples thereof.  (Here’s one example of the last in the above list.)

And yet all the above silliness is not only allowed, but encouraged — and then when the S Hits The F, everyone is surprised?  (Well, I’m not surprised, and nor is anyone with some vestige of common sense.)

Frankly, I’m done with all of it.  Let the social experimenters continue with their endless, foolish experiments, I don’t care a fig.

If girls get raped by men in their high school- or college toilets and locker rooms, I don’t care.

If boys come back from their Scout camps with a shiny new  Fellatio Badge:  hang the offending Scout leaders and fine / flog / imprison the parents for their negligence;  I don’t care.

If every female sailor gets pregnant and has to go on some kind of lifetime G.I. benefits, and ships sink because of a shortage of sailors;  so be it.

If the incidence of rape by male warders skyrockets in women’s prisons;  whatever.

If female warders get pregnant by their convict boyfriends or help said boyfriends get access to drugs, booze or guns;  tell someone who cares.

I’m not interested in getting excited about foolishness and its many consequences.

Because if I do get excited about all the above, then I’m the intolerant one, the male chauvinist, the right-winger, the whatever.

I don’t care about that, either.  FOAD, the lot of you.

Never Mind, It’s Just A System Glitch

Asshole Cops, Surveillance Society

…or, Flock Off, Part 2:

A Wisconsin woman was pulled over at gunpoint twice in one week after Milwaukee Police Department staff failed to remove a vehicle alert from the Flock license plate camera system.

Fox 6 Milwaukee reports that on Thursday, police in the Milwaukee suburb of Brookfield, Wisconsin, conducted a high-risk traffic stop on Interstate 94 after a Flock camera flagged a vehicle in connection with a Milwaukee homicide investigation. Video footage from the incident shows multiple officers with weapons drawn and a passenger extending their hands out the car window in compliance with police commands.

The vehicle’s driver, Amber Newell, and her passengers were detained during the stop. However, when Brookfield Police contacted the Milwaukee Police Department to coordinate the arrest, MPD informed them they no longer needed the vehicle or its occupants. The officers immediately released Newell and the other individuals.

And if anyone in this party of “desperadoes” had been accidentally shot, it would have resulted in an “Oops, my bad” response from the cops, no doubt.

Remember:  “If you’ve done nothing wrong, there’s nothing to worry about.”

Uh huh.

Music

Here’s the setup:

The Rock ‘N Roll Hall Of Fame (a stupid concept all by itself, but we can discuss that some other time) has decided that they’ve cocked the whole thing up, and want to start from scratch.  In other words, the HoF is completely empty and needs refilling.  And in their magnificent wisdom, they’ve given you the job of deciding the inductees, with the following restrictions:

The inductees must be genuine rock ‘n rollers:  no jazz, no country and only a few exceptions for the blues can be made.  The inductions happen every year.  The list of inductees may not be longer than twenty in any given year.

I’ll start the ball rolling with my thoughts on the topic.  I’m going to do it more or less historically, just to make things simple (I think), and they’re in no specific order.

Year 1, in which I list the early rock-and-rollers, but leave the R&B vocal bands and singers for next year:

  1. Elvis Presley
  2. Bill Haley and the Comets
  3. Albert King
  4. Chuck Berry
  5. Buddy Holly & The Crickets
  6. B.B. King (one of the “blues exceptions”, because denying B.B. the honor would be sacrilege)
  7. Jerry Lee Lewis
  8. Little Richard
  9. The Everly Brothers
  10. Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers
  11. Del Shannon
  12. Carl Perkins
  13. Bo Diddley
  14. Roy Orbison
  15. Fats Domino
  16. Ricky Nelson
  17. Gene Vincent
  18. James Brown
  19. Duane Eddy
  20. Link Wray

Feel free to argue the selection, or tell me about notable exclusions from the list.  One last thought:  I’ve excluded the “influencers” (e.g. Muddy Waters and all those Depression-era blues artists), because otherwise we’ll be here all day.

Step Up To The Plate, Mr. President

Anti-Gun Nannies, The Gun Thing

A lot of the time, politics is all about action:  doing things that will make a difference, one hopes with a positive or good outcome.

But a positive or good outcome can also come from doing nothing, as Jenny Sensiba points out:

ATF just took a big hit in federal court. U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix has ruled in Jensen v. ATF that the government can no longer enforce the National Firearms Act registry for things like suppressors and short-barreled rifles.

The legal logic is pretty straightforward, even in a world where case law often treats the Second Amendment like a second-class right. Last year, Congress zeroed out the $200 transfer tax in the One Big Beautiful Bill. Back in 1937, the Supreme Court only allowed the National Firearms Act to exist because it was a tax framework, barely keeping it within the theoretical powers of Congress.

With the tax now gone, the constitutional justification that anti-gun courts have had for fingerprinting you and making you wait months for a piece of paper is no longer there, leaving the court with no choice but to rule the NFA unconstitutional.

Don’t go out and assemble that SBR yet, though. Judge Hendrix put a seven-day hold on his ruling so the Department of Justice can appeal. And the ruling will only apply to the plaintiffs and their members.

But, here’s the part you might not know: The DOJ doesn’t actually have to defend the NFA. They’re under no obligation at all to appeal the ruling.

And as Sensiba points out:

Sure, career government lawyers usually file appeals automatically to defend federal laws. They see it as their job. But, the DOJ is part of the executive branch, and President Trump is the guy at the top. He’s the one who signed the One Big Beautiful Bill into law that zeroed out the tax in the first place. Just as President Obama chose to have his DOJ decline to defend laws banning gay marriage, Trump can just as easily leave the NFA out in the legal cold and let it starve to death.

All it takes is one phone call to the [now confirmed] Attorney General telling the DOJ to stand down and decline to appeal.

With this satisfactory outcome:

In a week, if you’re a member or customer of one of the plaintiffs, you can order a suppressor or build that SBR or SBS. In two months, the ruling will become permanent and future administrations can’t appeal.

I guess now we’ll see whether DJT actually does believe in the Second Amendment — part of that pesky Constitution thing he swore to uphold and defend, twice.  Just one email (a phone call doesn’t cut it) to the DoJ to say:  “Stand back and do nothing.”  (One thought:  if our new USAG is the man Trump has suggested he is, he wouldn’t need any assistance from POTUS — that would be an even better outcome.)

Of course, there’s going to be weeping and wailing, gnashing of teeth and rending of garments from the Usual Suspects in the Gun Control Industry.  But hell, every time Trump does anything, there’s weeping and wailing, gnashing of teeth and rending of garments from some bunch of Lefties or other — so why should this be any different?

It’s time to get the “F” out of the ATF.

Skidding Leftwards

Men & Women, Rights, Unintended Consequences

Seen at Insty’s:

I wonder sometimes, from way back when men voted in favor of giving wimmyns the vote, whether they would have been so keen to check the “Yes” box after seeing this little chart.

But steering away from those shark-infested waters for a moment, I have a good idea as to why the chicks are becoming Maoist.

The problem is that most of them bought into the “You can have it all”  tripe  trope of Teh Feministicals, and went to college (as favored by the Smart Set) to become “educated” — except that being women, they picked the wrong stuff to learn, doing soft shit like “Gender Studies” and the like (which had been installed by feministical academics — male and female) rather than the difficult ones, like microbiology, applied mathematics or even accounting / finance.

Then, after graduating (with a boatload of tuition debt), they discovered that those soft degrees meant fuck-all in the workplace, and pretty much only qualified them for positions in HR (or back at college in a low-paying job like adjunct professor, if they could even find one).

Oh, and they can’t have kids because being a stay-at-home mom is impossible by the current economic situation (tuition debt) and anyway, Having A Career was part of the “Womyn’s Independence” schtick.  So now they’re not having kids, suppressing within themselves that most intrinsic and fundamental instinct of women.

So, burning with outrage at the “unfairness”, of course they want to dismantle the “system” (the fault of the “patriarchy”) and when it comes to demolishing institutions, nothing works as well as Marxism.

And because they are young — and therefore stupid, as most youngins are — and have no real grasp of the history which proves only too well how disastrous Marxism actually is, they are pushing us all towards the pit.

Oh, and by the way, the boys that have become feminized during the whole process of primary, secondary and tertiary education, are just as likely to support Marxism as Teh Gurlz.

And of course, because Baby Boomers — who started the whole “Turn on, tune in and drop out” and “Burn it all down and start again!” bullshit in the 1960s and early 70s — are just as fucking stupid as their kids and grandkids, it’s no wonder that protest marches these days consist mostly of young blue-haired women and grey-haired old farts.

Morons, the whole lot of them.
