Sorority Girl has people fighting to pay her bond.  My daughter's comment was hilarious: "Of course, she is an Alpha Chi Omega girl, what else do you expect from them..."  My daughter has a low opinion of the "Almost Chi Omega" sorority.  She was a Chi Omega.

This is what I’m worried about.

I’m worried that when Biff the Hygienically-Challenged and his Coterie of Fanatics decide that sucker-punching neo-nazis just isn’t enough — or torching electric cars doesn’t have that same rush — and mission creep themselves into Proper Fanatical Stupidity, that some truly scary people are going to start whacking and stacking in response.

I don’t want to find myself standing over what’s left of a coyote attack and suddenly realizing that unless coyotes are carrying knives, some unsettlingly well-trained monster has just decided that he has had enough, and has gone hunting.

Y’all should be worried about this, too.

 

Unlike the author of above screed, I'm not worried about lefties going "direct action" in any kind of widespread way. The left is, at heart, a bully. And bullies pick on the weak and defenseless. Its one thing to play Knockout King with Hasidic Jews in NYC, its quite another to go bare knuckle in more traditional climes.

Yes, there will be escalating incidents where the Antifa types assault politicians and other public figures, but the average American is more security-conscious than the average public figure.

This sounds to me like a good approach to the immigration topic:

What is true of creed is no less true of nationality. There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all. This is just as true of the man who puts “native” before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance. But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as anyone else.

The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic. The men who do not become Americans and nothing else are hyphenated Americans; and there ought to be no room for them in this country. The man who calls himself an American citizen and who yet shows by his actions that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land, plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic. He has no place here; and the sooner he returns to the land to which he feels his real heart-allegiance, the better it will be for every good American. There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Leader of ‘black mass’ arrested at Kansas Capitol after punching protester

The organizer of a “black mass” that took place outside the Kansas state Capitol on Friday amid heavy Catholic protest was arrested shortly afterward in the Capitol building after punching a protester in the face. 

A video from local news outlet WIBW shows Michael Stewart raising his arms and chanting in the Capitol rotunda, surrounded by a number of protesters urging him to stop. A young man later identified as Marcus Schroeder attempted to snatch what appeared to be papers from Stewart’s outstretched hands. 

Video and images circulating on social media show Stewart punching Schroeder twice in the face before a half-dozen police officers tackled him and led him away.  

Upon reaching the Capitol building’s doors, law enforcement had greeted Stewart and told him he was welcome to enter but could not hold a demonstration. Gov. Laura Kelly had previously banned all protesters from entering the building. 

Stewart had publicly announced on numerous occasions his intention to defy Kelly’s order and enter the Capitol rotunda, saying in a recent Facebook live video that he intended to enter the building and “read prayers.” 

According to the Kansas Reflector, after the area cleared, two other Satanists tried to pick up where Stewart left off and were taken into custody. 

It’s not yet clear what charges, if any, will be brought against members of the Satanist group. 

During the “mass” on the Capitol steps prior to the altercation inside the building, a protester attempted to throw himself on the unconsecrated “crackers” that Stewart was stomping on as part of the Satanic ritual. Stewart pummelled the man with his fists, and law enforcement took the man away, the Reflector reported.  

Catholic leaders in the state, while deploring the planned sacriligious “black mass” — which is designed to protest and mock the Catholic Mass — had called for peaceful and prayerful resistance. 

At the center of the Catholic reaction, Archbishop Joseph Naumann of Kansas City, Kansas, led a session of Eucharistic adoration and Mass at a Catholic church directly opposite the Capitol. According to the Reflector, “as many as 400 people” showed up for the Mass at Assumption Church. 

Naumann, who settled a lawsuit earlier this month after the Satanic group testified under oath that it did not steal a consecrated host, had urged the faithful not to “succumb to anger and violence, as that would be cooperating with the devil.”

A large crowd of several hundred counterprotestors, primarily organized by the Catholic group the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property, gathered on the south side of the Capitol to pray the rosary and demonstrate in defense of the Catholic faith. 

Meanwhile, “about 20 people” showed up in support of the “black mass,” WIBW reported.

A toddler was suspended from nursery after being accused of being transphobic or homophobic, The Telegraph can reveal.

Department for Education (DfE) data show the child, aged either three or four, was suspended from a state school in the 2022-23 academic year for “abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity”.

The school and further details of the case were not disclosed.

But statistics show that 94 pupils at state primary schools were suspended or permanently excluded for transphobia and homophobia in 2022-23.

 

Since parents are trans-ing their children in pursuit of virtue signaling points, one might wonder how sexual orientation and gender identity came up in a pre-school environment.

Britain is beset with teenaged white incel ninjas;

 

One of the panelists brought up an interesting point; shouldn't ALL 12-13 year old boys be celibate?

If not; if they have sex with 13 year old girls, that's sexual assault/pedophilia. So which adults are they expected to have sex with? Keir Starmer, perhaps?

As always, there are GoFundMes (probably run by scammers, but whatever) for the murderer.

The amount of rationalization is absurd. The murderer is claiming self-defense, but he had to go out to his car and then return with the knife to perform the stabbing. On one online board, folks were already saying the victim probably used the N word. Folks latched onto that narrative like it was a life preserver in the North Atlantic in winter.

Both murderer and victim are from upper-middle class 'burbs and go to upscale high schools. Some a-hole probably cornered the dad and told him he needed to Do Something to prevent racial violence, but these are folks who have investment portfolios, not AKs.

I realize the father probably lives in an environment where DEI is next to godliness, but he missed a major opportunity to STFU. Now that social media is showing the murderer do come across as a gangsta wannabee, it is looking more and more like a hate crime.

My daughters BF is in charge of hiring some people at one of the local children's hospital.  One candidate is a They/Them, who lied on she/his resume about his computer background and put the most important thing in dealing with children is to allow them to understand their inner LGBTQWTF+ natures.  

The second one, has hoop ear rings, identifies as "non-binary" and has also over rated his computer skills.  The job is for both computer services, and "patient support services" where they interact with both very ill and terminally ill children to keep up their spirits.  Sometimes they sit and just play games on the hospital PS/5 with the kids, and spend time with those kids that no family seems to show up regular.  They also maintain some very antiquated software that the hospital uses because "it works".  

He is pulling his hair out since to both of them being LGBTQWTF+ is the most important thing for them.

A teacher at a public high school in California showed 10th-grade students a Turkish propaganda video that equated Israel’s war on Hamas to the Holocaust and suggested Jews should be "ashamed" as a result, according to a new lawsuit community activists filed against the district.

The incident was just one example of the "pervasive discrimination and bias against Jewish students" in the Santa Clara Unified School District, according to the Department of Education Title VI complaint filed by StandWithUs and the Bay Area Jewish Coalition this week.

 

Santa Clara is between Sunnyvale and San Jose, thus close to the epicenter of Bay Area anti-Semitism.

In May 2024, activists targeted regents’ homes. NPR Michigan reported that Regent Mark Bernstein said protesters hung a list of demands to regents’ front doors.

“Nobody should ever encounter a masked and hooded man on the front porch of their home in the early morning making demands that the university divest from Israel and defund the police,” he reportedly said. “I will not be intimidated by these provocative tactics, nor will my colleagues on this board, nor will this institution.”

Regent Sarah Hubbard had about “30 protesters put tents and other objects on her front lawn and used bullhorns to disrupt the neighborhood at around 6 a.m.,” NPR reported.

In June 2024, the front of Jewish Regent Jordan Acker’s law office was spray-painted with the words “free Palestine” and “divest or f*** off.” Local police and the FBI investigated the incident as a hate crime. However, responsibility for the vandalism has yet to be assigned.

In October 2024, President Ono’s home was spray-painted with the words “intifada,” “coward,” and “divest.”

Regent Acker was again targeted in December when his car was spray-painted with the words “divest” and “free Palestine” and a window in his home was smashed. Acker said both his and his wife’s vehicles were vandalized, and someone threw a jar with a “foul-smelling liquid” through a window of their house.

While the regents and administrators’ full motivation for axing DEI is multifactored, it is not a stretch to assume the repeated attacks played as great a role as any “threat” to funding by the Trump administration.

Gee, ya think?

Speaking as someone who is currently interviewing candidates, I'd suggest he look on the positive side and be grateful that they telegraphed "Don't Hire Me!!!!" so clearly before he hired one and spent the next 2 years fighting to performance them out if he even could. . .
