We all have #FreedomOfSpeech, but that does not come with freedom from consequences The anti-Semitic, pro-Hamas protesters are finding out that some people have listened to them, and don't like what they've said

I spotted this on my feed this morning, and the different reactions are humorous.

Conservative judges say they will boycott Columbia University students

The judges accused Columbia of becoming “ground zero for the explosion of student disruptions, anti-semitism, and hatred for diverse viewpoints on campuses.”

More than a dozen conservative federal judges are threatening to not hire law clerks who attend Columbia University or its law school starting this fall — an attempt to show the judges’ displeasure over the institution’s handling of pro-Palestinian protests.

The pro #Hamas protesters do everything except actually go to Gaza to help

I have said, on Twitter, more times than I could ever have counted, that if the pro-Hamas protesters really wanted to help the poor, poor people in Gaza, they should pick up a rifle and head to Gaza to fight the hated Joooos along with the people they champion. Thus far, I haven’t heard of an American actually doing that, though it’s possible that a few have done so and I missed the media stories about it. National Public Radio reported that “hundreds” of Americans, primarily veterans, have gone to Ukraine to fight the Russians, and a Google search for American volunteers fighting in Gaza turned up several credentialed media sources reporting how Americans have been heading to the Middle East to support and fight for Israel, but if there are any stories about Americans fighting for the Arabs, I’ve missed them.

Then again, just how stupid would you have to be to voluntarily choose to fight the Israel Defence Force? The IDF don’t play.

GWU law professor calls on anti-Israel students to leave ‘mommy and daddy’ paid dorm rooms, go to Gaza

Prof. Roth told students that they should consider volunteering instead of protesting on campus

“I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” The pro-Hamas demonstrators have completely ignored the truth.

We have previously noted the idiocy of those holding a “Queers for Palestine” banner, something that even the homosexual activist publication The Advocate said was stupid.

But the image of te guy on the right? You can tell that he’s an American or Brit, because the signs are in English for English readers, and he’s enjoying his Western civilization world of freedom of speech, because if he wore that shirt in Tehran or Cairo or just about anyplace in the Muslim Middle East, he’d be taken straight to jail, doubtlessly beaten, and could well be prosecuted for blasphemy.

Well, maybe not. Try wearing a shirt which proclaims “Allah is Gay” in Riyadh, and you might not even make it to jail, you might well be beaten to death even before the police got there.

Then there’s this: Continue reading →

Stupid is as stupid does, and prison cannot cure stupid Swimming in the shallow end of the gene pool

Jayana Webb mugshot, via Fox29 News.

This site has twice previously reported on the very lovely Jayana Webb. On March 21, 2022, 21-year-old Miss Webb killed 29-year-old Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Brendan Sisca, 33-year-old State Trooper Martin Mack, and 28-year-old electrician Reyes Rivera Oliveras. No, Miss Webb didn’t pull a gun and shoot them; she used a Chevy Captiva. The Philadelphia Inquirer, in an article designed to promote some sympathy for Miss Webb, reported:

At 12:47 a.m., Webb wrote on Twitter that she had been stopped “doing 110 in a 50″ mile-per-hour zone. While state police have neither confirmed nor denied the stop, multiple news outlets reported that Mack and Sisca stopped the woman for speeding on the interstate that night.

Around the time of the tweet, state police said the troopers were abruptly redirected to assist a man apparently attempting to cross the highway near Lincoln Financial Field. The troopers bolted south, and found Oliveras.

In other words, Miss Webb was about to get away with going 60 MPH over the speed limit. That’s more than just speeding; that’s reckless driving. Unfortunately, reckless did not translate into wreckless. Continue reading →

Why are there so few pro-#Hamas demonstrations in conservative areas?

I have been checking the Lexington Herald-Leader and the Kentucky Kernel, the UK student newspaper for which I used to write back during the days of quill pens and inkwells, every day, and I have yet to see any reports of pro-Hamas, or pro-Israel, protests of demonstrations on campus or in the city. Yes, that shows that Kentucky students are just plain smarter than those elite and effete Ivy Leaguers, but then it occurred to me: there are very few Jewish students at UK, with Jews being a very small minority in the Bluegrass State as a whole, while the reports of demonstrations at Penn and Hahvahd and Columbia are occurring at schools with significant Jewish populations, and it leads me to think that these demonstrations really are just as much anti-Semitic as they are pro-Palestinian.

Crazy people are dangerous

London’s Daily Mail is a sensationalist tabloid, to be sure, but as I pointed out here, the Daily Mail was the only credentialed media source that I found which exposed the fact that the Pennbrook Middle School assailant was transgender, a boy claiming to be a girl. I’ve still seen no major credentialed media sources stating that, but I’ve also seen no credentialed media sources publishing anything which have claimed that the reports that ‘Melanie,’ the (alleged) Pennbrook assailant, is ‘transgender’ are false.

And now there’s this:

The Philadelphia Inquirer and their writers really hate it when the rule of law goes against their police-hating views

It is, of course, no surprise that most of the writers at The Philadelphia Inquirer hate the police. Columnist Helen Ubiñas, whose Twitter biography states that she is “a Latina columnist”, as though her ethnicity should make any difference, tweeted her great disappointment that former Philadelphia Police Officer Ryan Pownell should be reinstated, with back pay and restored seniority.

Fired Philly cop Ryan Pownall, whose murder case in controversial shooting was dismissed by judge, can get job back, arbitrator rules

The arbitrator also ruled that Pownall is also entitled to full back pay and seniority, the president of the police union said.

by Robert Moran | Thursday, April 25, 2024 | 8:56 PM EDT | Updated: 9:50 PM EDT

An arbitrator has ruled that the city must reinstate Ryan Pownall to his former job as a Philadelphia police officer — 1½ years after a judge dismissed criminal charges, including third-degree murder, that were filed against Pownall for the on-duty 2017 shooting death of David Jones.

But, but, but, it’s just so unfair! Caitlin Clark's new endorsement deals are all about the Benjamins

Caitlin Clark was the top NCAA women’s basketball player this past season, and was the number one draft pick by the Indiana Fever. She was the major reason that the Iowa Hawkeyes’ women’s team got more coverage this year, and that the women’s tournament drew a lot more viewers than the norm. And, as her rookie season begins, the advance television schedule shows that the Indiana Fever will get a lot more national television coverage. Continue reading →

Crazy people are dangerous #Transgender girl shows some toxic masculinity

Sometimes I worry that I am stepping on the toes of former Washington Times reporter and editor Robert Stacy McCain and his series entitled Crazy People Are Dangerous by using the title myself, but sometimes the crazy becomes too blatant to ignore. This site previously reported on the brutal assault by a 13-year-old boy claiming to be a girl on a 12-year-old girl at Pennbrook Middle School, and how the credentialed media are mostly keeping the fact that the alleged assailant is nuttier than a fruitcakesuffers from gender dysphoria.
