If you ever wondered whether a wormy apple falls far from a rotten tree (or even just what kind of person spells their daughter’s name Ashli), watch this and wonder no more:
Yup. Looks like Daughter Dearest inherited the entitled Karen gene from her mom. And now, both of them will be remembered as criminals.
Sure must suck to be them.
…or more intensely satisfying:
Two chuds tried to burn down an immigration centre, and ended up reaping some of what they attempted to sow. You love to see it.
First, there was a tweet:
Then, there was a riposte:
And then, there was a (predictably) lame video clapback, several hours later:
…which, thanks to the appearance of the Romanian pizza boxes, resulted in a long-overdue arrest:
Romanian prosecutors said on Thursday they have detained divisive internet personality and former professional kickboxer Andrew Tate on suspicion of human trafficking, rape and forming an organised crime group.
Tate, banned from many social media platforms for misogynistic comments and hate speech, and his brother Tristan will be detained for 24 hours alongside two Romanian suspects, prosecutors from the anti organised-crime unit said in a statement after raiding their properties in Bucharest.
The Tate brothers have been under criminal investigation since April.
They declined to comment but their lawyer confirmed they had been detained.
“The four suspects … appear to have created an organised crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content meant to be seen on specialised websites for a cost,” prosecutors said.
“They would have gained important sums of money.”
Prosecutors said they had found six women who had been sexually exploited by the suspects.
Tate has said women are partially responsible for being raped and that they belong to men.
That last bit just makes this latest irony all the sweeter, does it not? The man who thinks women “belong to him” has just been not only stripped of his human non-property, he’s also been owned by a girl who’s still in her teens. That’s gonna be the death of his career, even if his time in jail alone doesn’t do it.
Also, it may be a little early for headline of the year, but the Beaverton really wins with this one.
I know it’s been awhile since I’ve had an installment in this series, but this came across my YouTube feed right now, and I just had to share:
The Christmas blizzards have been no joke on either side of the Great Lakes this year. Buffalo, NY, was particularly hard-hit, with as much as two metres of lake-effect snow falling at once a couple of weeks ago, and then a violent two-day blizzard coming on later, which killed over three dozen people. Joey White was caught in that latter storm, alone and terrified, when Sha’Kyra found him. She took him into her house and looked after him until help could arrive and get him to hospital. And in the meantime, she mobilized help on a Facebook live stream, letting the community know that there was a man in need of medical care at her home.
Here she is, along with Joey’s sister Yvonne, on CNN, talking about the rescue after the fact:
Sha’Kyra, please enjoy the rest of your winter holidays. You’re a true hero, and you deserve the best.
…who apparently have no qualms about exposing their shortcomings to kids in an effort to, uh, “protect women and girls”:
Thankfully, this “radical feminist”* weirdo’s “stand”* was all for naught. The trans equality bill she was trying to stop, officially called the Gender Recognition Reform Bill, passed in Scotland’s parliament five days ago, and barring the Royal Assent, it’s as good as law.
And if Westminster tries to pull any FART Island shenanigans, it could pave the way for Scotland’s exit from the United Kingdom, which has been bruited about for centuries already (and much more loudly since Brexit, which Scotland largely opposed).
BTW, if you think this is just a one-off for J.K.’s “feminist”* friends, you couldn’t be more wrong. They’re ALL fucking bonkers. Shaun, a British YouTuber who’s been following the situation a lot more closely than anyone should have to, has the whole story:
With “friends”* like these, feminism doesn’t need any enemies.
*As always: Note the quotes — there for a reason.
Midge Ure, Paul Young, and Tony Hadley talk with the Professor of Rock about how Band Aid came together and made the charity song of the century. (I don’t care about any of the remakes, I only love the original.)
The Ethiopian famine of the mid-1980s was a wake-up call for so many young people in the 1980s. Including my teenage self, who knew hardly anything about Ethiopia then, and about how it came to be stricken in the way it was. The country’s history of famines wasn’t exactly something we were taught in school; we had to learn it by watching the news.
And, sometimes, listening to the radio. And seeing videos of all our favorite pop stars coming together to sing about it like the world’s coolest choir, too.
BTW, the Canadian answer to this was also damn cool.
Transgender YouTuber Keffals exposes the slippery, skeevy horrors currently plaguing trans people who have the misfortune to be living and struggling in the UK, particularly post-Brexit:
Of course, “Gender Exploratory Therapy” is nothing of the sort. It’s the old anti-gay “conversion therapy” in a new guise, which ultimately converts no one and is not therapeutic in the least. Gender isn’t “explored”, its proper expression in an individual is merely suppressed, in a run-down-the-clock manner, until a trans teenager is effectively discouraged from medically transitioning before reaching full adulthood (and going through wrong-sex puberty in the process, which, as any trans person can tell you, was the worst possible way for them to grow up).
In the meantime, their desire for a different gender expression is deemed to be the result of literally anything other than transgenderism. Usually, “trauma” is blamed. Which, as Keffals points out, is absurd because many, if not all, people suffer from psychological trauma in some way or other while growing up. And in the case of trans people, much of the trauma is the direct result of society’s refusal to accept trans people as who they say they are. As one of Keffals’ commenters puts it: “NHS: traumatizes trans people. Also NHS: see you’re not trans! You’re a victim of trauma!”
Speaking of trauma in the UK, it’s not just the NHS inflicting it on trans people. Ordinary people in everyday settings are doing it all the time. Take, for instance, this one woman, whose name is, appropriately enough, Karen:
A woman who grabbed a transgender man’s genitals after demanding to know what sex he was has been convicted of sexual assault.
Karen Waldron, 53, touched the man in a bar in Cheltenham in February while he was on the dancefloor with a friend.
She denied wrongdoing, claiming she was just looking out for a friend who had “taken a shine” to the man.
But Waldron, of Matson Avenue, Gloucester, was found guilty by magistrates in Cirencester.
The defendant was ordered to pay her victim, aged in his 20s, £300 in compensation.
She had approached him in Yates bar and asked him “are you male or female?”, Cirencester Magistrates’ Court heard.
Prosecutor Graham Dono said that when the victim explained he was a male “Waldron responded by saying ‘Are you sure?’, to which the male replied ‘It’s none of your business’.
“Waldron then placed her hand between his legs, grabbed his genitals and squeezed, no doubt to try to establish that he was a male.
“He responded by asking the woman what was she doing and told her that it was not appropriate.”
Waldron replied “I don’t care”, the court was told.
Nice, eh? This literal Karen sexually assaulted a trans man in public, and didn’t care that what she did was grossly inappropriate. She excused it as “looking out for a friend” who had taken a liking to the guy. Why that friend couldn’t just “look out” for herself, I don’t know. Apparently British women are such fragile flowers of femininity that the mere presence of a trans man could wilt them if their friends don’t get a grope in and just make his whole night miserable. I’d say a public pants check certainly qualifies as traumatizing, wouldn’t you?
Anyhow. Then there’s something even more odious, namely the “charitable” efforts of one Joanna Kathleen Rowling. Who, in all her so-called radical feminism, decided to earmark a hefty donation for a rape crisis centre:
JK Rowling has launched a new women-only support service for victims of sexual violence.
The author says Beira’s Place will provide free support and advocacy for women in Edinburgh who have experienced abuse at any time in their lives.
She said the service would meet an “unmet need” in response to demands from female survivors of abuse.
Ms Rowling said it was important that survivors had the option of women-centred and women-delivered care.
Sounds innocent enough, until you realize that their definition of “women” doesn’t include trans women. And worse still, UK law allows this kind of discrimination, in a characteristically squishy, weaselly way:
Under the U.K.’s Equality Act 2010, transgender people are protected from discrimination. However, services may exclude trans people from single-sex spaces if this exclusion is a “proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.”
“Beira’s Place is a women-only service,” the facility said. “Section 212 of the Equality Act 2010 defines a woman as a ‘female of any age’ and Beira’s Place services are for women aged 16 and over. The service is offered in accordance with the Equality Act 2010, which permits the provision of single sex services and a single sex staffing policy in various situations where there’s a good reason for them.”
“Many women subjected to men’s violence feel safer and fare better in women-only spaces, and wish to have support sessions with females only, and we exist to meet that need. We believe that women deserve to have certainty that, in using our services, they will not encounter anyone who is male,” Beira’s Place continued. “Where appropriate, we will refer we will refer men or individuals identifying as trans women to other appropriate services in the area, of which there are several.”
“Individuals identifying as trans women” is an expression often used to cast doubt on trans women’s identities.
Of course, they don’t say exactly how they plan to determine if someone is “biologically female enough” to be worthy of care at this centre. Will rape victims be re-traumatized with a demeaning pants check of their own? Or will they just face a lengthy interrogation on their gender, which is traumatic enough in its own right?
It seems that it will be only a matter of time before someone’s civil rights will be violated — or rather, violated in some whole new idiotic way. But don’t look for any apologies or responsibility taken for THAT.
Farron Cousins has the lowdown:
Not only are his “trading cards” (that can’t actually be traded, and aren’t worth 99 cents, much less $99 US) photoshopped, the images Donnie’s head got dropped onto are either blatantly stolen ad photos, or stock photos that obviously weren’t paid for. And you know what that means, don’t you? Yup, more lawsuits coming Donnie’s way. And more lawyers that won’t get paid, either, since Donnie thinks that everything should be his for free, including his idiot fans’ money.
But hey! At least the old crook gets to fake having a fitter bod, a better tan, and bigger hands for a little while.
Spoiler alert: It’s NEITHER. Because the good doctor never wavered in his message, unlike Ronnie:
Ah, Ronnie. If he only had a spine.
