The Jussie Lesson

“The worst possible place to fake a hate crime is in an African-American city. Black cops don’t suffer from white guilt and have very little patience for fake racist hate crimes. Chicago’s top law enforcement officials are African-American. That’s one reason Smollett is getting the book thrown at him.”

Finally, the draft will take women

“They are going to draft your daughters for their forever wars,” Ben Domenech of The Federalist rages. This after a federal judge in Texas ruled Friday that a male-only draft is unconstitutional in a surprise decision that only began to hit the press late Sunday via a USA Today report.”

Me, I’m for it. Have been for it since I realized that almost nothing I did in Viet Nam couldn’t have been done by a woman. The Israel model certainly works.

UPDATE:  Ilya Somin at the Volokh Conspiracy says now draft registration will have to call women to serve or be ended forever.

Famous but Incompetent gets nasty

“I still can’t get over that they marshaled a tactical SWAT team to arrest a man being arrested for making false statements.
The officers involved knew he wasn’t being arrested for a violent crime.
The officers involved knew he wasn’t being arrested for treason, weapons, or any crime indicating resistance was imminent.
Nope.
The officers involved knew he was being arrested for saying something to the FBI that they thought was a lie. So, they strapped on body armor. They issued assault rifles. They moved in a tactical fashion under the cover of dark.
To arrest someone who, at best, would be convicted for lying.”

UPDATE: CNN, of course, was alerted to the pre-dawn raid and taped Roger Stone and his wife standing in the street barefoot and in their bedclothes. But, oddly, they left out the shocking footage of his wife.

Wakanda Forever

Wakanda shit is this? Acerbic Dim 2020 frontrunner Kamala Harris supposedly offered this video to launch her campaign.

But it may have been recorded last spring, as a celebrity pitch for “Black Panther,” a black-cast, superhero movie about a fantasy/science fiction place in northeastern Africa.

Also the first superhero movie nominated for best-picture Oscar. But not why you think. Rotten Tomatoes says it’s a very accessible mass-audience flicker.

And Harris latched onto it to promote herself to the black vote: WakandaForever.

Another Blumenthal Ranger

Time was when every Vietnam vet was a baby killer. Then every Vietnam vet was a hero, simply for having served over there. Neither made much sense but reflected the ambivalence in which we were held. Mostly I remember people on the street looking away when I was in uniform. They would not meet my eyes.

Then came the wannabees: the Blumenthals and other liars, who wanted the hero label and the consequent general sympathy. And finally some vets got together and began policing these scumbags under the rubric of Stolen Valor.

Comes the latest in their ranks: Nathan Phillips, the aging old American Indian who insolently played the drum in the Catholic kids’ face and got raised to hero status by the Leftist media who wanted the kid strung up because he wore a Trump hat. Lynched, in other words.

Thanks to another Blumenthall Ranger.

UPDATE:  Time for Phillips to lawyer up.

Tasteful Pussy

This is old about Playboy mag’s decline and revival but new to me and therefore…

Tasteful, via commenter rhhardin, I guess, is a side shot of pubic hair. Or, via Laslo Spatula, the immortal nude cleft. Leave the gaping, reddish wide, to porn.
