Teach Women Not To Rape*

Posted on April 25, 2015 | 3 comments

To hear the lefty academics and the Worm’s administration tell it, there’s an epidemic of sexual assaults on women on college campuses. You can bet Godzillary will be echoing it as she runs for president (see update below).

The statistics don’t bear it out, but in politics the argument with the loudest voice (i.e. the most publicity) wins. And thanks to the Democrat news media, the left has long enjoyed the loudest voice.

Ahem. However. The blogger Instapundit, apparently without any of the resources of the academics and their political and media cronies, has single-handedly uncovered a growing epidemic of sexual assaults in high schools and middle schools. Scores of cases, in fact.

Not against women, but by women. Mostly on underage boys but sometimes on adolescent girls as well.

Via Instapundit. (* Recurring Instapundit headline.)

UPDATE: Godzillary already is beating the drum for those alleged sexual assaults on college campuses. It’s all part of her class and gender warfare. She’s ignoring the high school and middle school ones, of course. They don’t fit her narrative.

Tax Freedom Day

Posted on April 24, 2015 | 2 comments

That’s today, as Wisconsin governor and Republican presidential hopeful Scott Walker reminds us:

“It’s Tax Freedom Day. Up until now, all your work and income has gone to pay for your share of Big Government….When it comes to the big spenders, it’s all about them. It’s about their spending, their ideas, their wish list, their liberal policies. But it’s your money, isn’t it?“

Well, it was.

Earth Day Aftermath

As they do every year, the so-called Greens who supposedly want an end to fossil fuels for a clean Earth couldn’t be bothered to remove their own trash. After their recent big D.C. demo. Like Insty says, “I’ll believe it’s a crisis when people who say it’s a crisis start acting like it’s a crisis.”

UPDATE: As Elizabeth Price Foley says: “What is it about radical leftists that their tree-hugging, whale-loving concern for life doesn’t extend to humans?” If this succeeds, we’re all going to be toast.

The Vichy GOP caves

Posted on April 23, 2015 | Comments Off on The Vichy GOP caves

The Stupid Party, which is really an offshoot of the Democrat Party, making the USA ruled by a single political party (except for the shouting) has caved in on the Worm’s AG nominee.

After holding up Loretta Lynch’s confirmation for months. Ironic name for an AG, that, “lynch.” When anybody gets screwed by the AG, you can say they were Lynched. At best, she’ll be Eric Holder in drag.

And our guy Ted skipped out on the vote instead of being recorded as a nay. He used an old Worm excuse. He had to fly home for a fundraiser. I’m pretty much more interested in Rubio, any how, who did vote nay.

I think he has a much better chance, if he can prove himself sufficiently to the establishment to beat Bush 3 to the nomination. It may be the Vichy GOP, and Rubio not much better than a Democrat, but either we vote for them or we get eight years of Godzillary and Slick. No thanks.

But I won’t expect any hope or change. Our greedy, corrupt and incompetent federal government will continue thus, as today’s confirmation proves.

Good news for kids

Posted on April 23, 2015 | 1 comment

When Mr. B. was twelve and he was playing seventh grade football at his middle school, practice often ran almost two hours after school let out. Then he liked to walk up to the J and lift weights in the gym. I told him that was fine with me and just to be home before dark.

When I mentioned his new freedom to an old Army friend who had never married or had children, he replied, “I don’t know if you should do that.” Too dangerous, he said, times having changed from when he and I were told the same way back in 1956. That’s what you get, I told him, for watching so much television news.

And so a (to me) disturbingly large part of the country seems to believe. When, in fact, according to a child trends analysis of CDC and FBI data by the WaPo, as their headline says: There’s never been a safer time to be a kid in America.

UPDATE:  It’s more dangerous in school, where scores of women teachers are raping 15-year-olds.

The Democrat Steno Pool

Posted on April 18, 2015 | 4 comments

To paraphrase Kurt Schlichter: I commanded a cavalry platoon, so my default tactic is to attack. But in the current culture war by far the best offense is mockery.

Hence my choices of monikers for the lamestream media: the snooze media (since they’re all asleep from doing things the same way for so long), the lapdog media (self-explanatory, eh Barry?) and the Democrat media (given their political bias).

But I have to like Schlichter’s new one: The Democrat Steno Pool. Remember it as you watch them savage Cruz, Rubio, Walker and the other GOP candidates while saving their “objectivity” for Godzillary.
