Going to jail for telling the truth? That’s what Europeans risk! "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." — George Orwell, 1984

In 1984, country music singer Lee Greenwood released his song, “God Bless the USA.” I was reminded of that song, when I read the article below, and the stanza:

I’m proud to be an American
Where at least I know I’m free
And I won’t forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I’d gladly stand up next to you
And defend Her still today
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.

Transgender Spanish Actor Sues French Politician For Calling Him A “Man”

By Genevieve Gluck | Saturday, June 1, 2024

Spanish actor Karla Sofía Gascón, a trans-identified male previously known as Juan Carlos, has filed a legal complaint against French politician Marion Maréchal, alleging she committed hate speech by calling him a “man.” Maréchal could face one year in prison and a €300,000 fine (£255,300) if found guilty.

On May 26, Maréchal, the head of France’s Reconquête! party for the European elections, made a comment on social media about Gascón after it was announced that he had won an award for “Best Actress” at the Cannes Film Festival. Gascón had won the award for his role in ‘Emilia Pérez,’ wherein he plays the titular role as a ruthless Mexican drug lord who decides to “transition” in order to evade law enforcement.

“So a man has received the prize at Cannes for… female performance. Progress for the left is the erasure of women and mothers,” wrote Maréchal in response to the news of Gascón’s win.

Apparently in Europe, a politician can face up to a year in jail for telling the truth!

Well, sort of the truth. Juan Carlos is most certainly a male, but it’s clear that he isn’t actually a man. The rest of this article is below the fol, because I have included Mr Greenwood’s music video. Continue reading →

Journolism: The credentialed media don’t exactly lie, but they conceal politically incorrect facts Journalists should try telling us the whole truth for a change

No, that’s not a typographical error in the title: the spelling ‘journolist’ or ‘journolism’ comes from JournoList, an email list of 400 influential and politically liberal journalists, the exposure of which called into question their objectivity. We use the term ‘journolism’ frequently when writing about media bias.

Journalism at least used to be a profession concerned with the 5 Ws + H: who, what, when, where, why, and how. Those were the questions reporters were supposed to answer if at all possible. Now that print newspapers have been in great decline, and newspapers in digital form are the wave of whatever future newspapers have left, the space limitations that used to hem in stories as measured by word count of column inches are mostly gone. Editors may have to pare down things that are going to be printed in the dead trees editions, but digital bandwidth is incredibly cheap. And Associated Press reporter Nicole Winfield left out a really big answer to “why.” Was it because the “why” is completely politically incorrect? Continue reading →

Tuesday morning rant

Sometimes I get on a roll when commenting on The Pirate’s Cove. In response to the commenter styling himself Elwood P Dowd, I ranted:

The very good and noble Mr Dowd wrote:

Yes, everyone makes mistakes. Mr Teach was celebrating the deaths of two evil men while ignoring burning alive as many as 50 children, women and men.

Those “two evil men” weren’t brave soldiers on the battlefield, nobly resisting the advancing Israeli soldiers, but cowards who started a fight they couldn’t finish, hiding amongst the (purportedly) innocent children. How many ‘innocent’ Germans were killed as the Allies closed the noose on Germany, seeking to capture or kill Adolf Hitler and his henchmen? How many ‘innocent’ Japanese were burned to death in Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagasaki, and Hiroshima, as the US softened up the country in preparation for invasion? Continue reading →

If someone was out to destroy transgender acceptance, what would he be doing differently?

I have asked this question previously: if someone was actively trying to sabotage the concept that #TransgenderWomenAreWomen, what would he be doing differently from what the ‘transgender women’ are doing right now when it comes to sports?

The usual conservative outlets carried the story of how ‘Aayden’ Gallagher, a male, won the Oregon Girls’ 6A 200-meter state championship race, and was roundly jeered by the spectators. But now even the liberal credentialed media are reporting on the story. From NBC News:

Transgender teen booed after winning girls’ track race at state championship

High school sophomore Aayden Gallagher won the 200-meter race at the state championship event in Eugene, Oregon.

Sometimes you just have to be an [insert slang term for the rectum here] to do things right 'Harm reduction' has not reduced the harm drugs do, but simply redistributed it to innocent people

In an article that would never, ever, have been published by The Philadelphia Inquirer, Olivia Reingold reported that addiction activists say they’re ‘reducing harm’ in Philly, but Kensington locals say they’re causing it. The newspaper has published several articles describing Mayor Cherelle Parker Mullins’ clean-up efforts in trying to get the junkies off the streets and the drug dealers behind bars on in that infamous open-air drug market, but Friday morning’s really took the cake. The OpEd written by Theo Fountain, a drug addict in remission and former street camper in that section of the city, he’s advocating for the ‘harm reduction’ efforts by Prevention Point he says helped him to finally get off the streets.

It was in the fourteenth paragraph down that Mr Fountain admitted how he supported his drug habit:

I was arrested for participating in the typical hustles addicts support themselves through: shoplifting and dealing dope.

How interesting that inclusive places like Haverford College allow discrimination against Jews on campus

Haverford College was founded in 1833, as a men’s college, by members of the Religious Society of Friends, more colloquially known as Quakers. According to the school, 98% of the 1,472-member student body live on campus, and the college claims a six-to-one tree to student body ratio. Full disclosure: I did some work on the Haverford campus in the early 2000s.

A liberal arts college, they are most definitely liberal, as they have proudly posted about their student body ‘diversity,’ telling us that the Class of 2027 is 52.5% “identify as people of color”. No mention was made concerning whether Rachel Dolezal was a student. 🙂

Haverford isn’t cheap, as tuition, fees, and housing for the 2024-25 academic year totals $89,568, though they also say that 49% receive some sort of financial aid, 44% receive outright grants, with the average grant being $62,237.

So, you’d think that Haverford College is an inclusive and welcoming place, right? The college certainly advertises itself that way! Unless, of course, you’re a Jooooo! From The Philadelphia Inquirer: Continue reading →

Noooo! It’s not #AntiSemitism at all, just opposition to Israeli government policies!

When the pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas protesters tell you that they aren’t anti-Semitic, but simply opposed to Israeli government policies, they are lying to you! It is intellectually possible to be opposed to Israeli policy, but not be a Jew-hater, but it’s a trick I have yet to see accomplished.

Florida imam and dentist calls for ‘annihilation’ of Jews, says Israeli military ‘worse than the Nazis’

The imam — who is also a licensed dentist in Florida — called Jews ‘apes and pigs’ and accused the Israeli military of trafficking organs

By Michael Dorgan Fox News | Tuesday, May 14, 2024 | 2:03 PM EDT

An antisemitic-laced video has emerged of a Florida imam calling for the annihilation of Jews and describing the Israeli military as being “worse than the Nazis.”

The video, which was live-streamed to Facebook on April 26, shows Florida Imam Dr. Fadi Kablawi making the remarks during a sermon at Masjid As Sunnah An Nabawiyyah in North Miami.

“Oh Allah, support our oppressed brothers in Palestine. Oh Allah, annihilate the tyrannical Jews. Oh Allah, annihilate them, for they are no match for you,” Kablawi can be heard saying in the sermon, according to a translation by MEMRI TV, the media arm of the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

“Oh Allah,” Kablawi continued, “annihilate the brothers of apes and pigs. Oh Allah, demonstrate upon them the wonders of your might. Oh Allah, cut off their seed. Oh Allah, break up their fellowship. Oh Allah, disperse them and rend them asunder.”

The video is embedded below the fold. Continue reading →

Holding their breath until they turn blue

The Princeton Princess, her neckbearded ally, and the girl who really needed to go on a hunger strike.

The only real weapon a hunger striker has is the concern of those against whom he is striking that the hunger strikers might actually die, bringing negative repercussions on those the striker opposes. If the hunger strikers are not actually prepared to die for their cause, they have no power at all. And, as I previously noted, a hunger strike is only effective if someone actually cares if you starve yourself to death.

Many people, including me, mocked the Princeton princess and her whining about the rigors of the students’ hunger strike, because it showed the unseriousness of it. Now we have this:

Princeton University students end anti-Israel hunger strike ‘due to health concerns’

The end of the ‘hunger strike’ came after members initially vowed not to eat or drink again

by Lawrence Richard | Monday, May 13, 2024 | 4:14 AM EDT

Students at Princeton University protesting Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza have called an end to their hunger strike after just 10 days.

Princeton Divest Now, the student protest group that is calling for the New Jersey Ivy League university to divest from America’s Middle Eastern ally due to the high civilian death toll in the Gaza Strip, said additional strikers would be continuing their efforts. Continue reading →

Crazy people are dangerous

The First Street Journal has twice previously written about the murders of black transgender ‘women,’ pointing out that most politically incorrect of facts, that the majority of such victims were working as prostitutes, and that meant many of the victims were killed by ‘johns’ they tricked — pun most definitely intended — into thinking they were real women, and the ‘johns’ reacted violently when the found out that they had been sexually assaulted by another male.

Let me be plain here: if a male disguises himself as a woman in order to have some form of sex with another male, and the other male does not realize that the disguised male is not really a woman, he has been raped!

Now we come to the other side of this situation:

Texas murder suspect runs victim over twice before kissing, stabbing his limp body: VIDEO

HOUSTON — Our Houston sister station, ABC13 Eyewitness News, obtained a deeply disturbing video of a murder in broad daylight.

On May 3, the victim, Steven Anderson, was walking on a Texas street to pick up mail when a car ran him over.

The suspect is 20-year-old Karon Fisher, identified in court records as a man but also described as a woman by police.
