Honesty Compels Me To Admit It


Marxist Los Angeles DA George Gascón Charges 26-Year-Old Transgender as Juvenile in Sex Assault of 10-Year-Old Girl
Soros-backed Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón is under fire for charging a 26-year-old transgender (bio male) as a juvenile after he pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl.

In 2014, 17-year-old James Tubbs grabbed a 10-year-old girl by the throat at a Denny’s in Palmdale, California and sexually assaulted her in a bathroom stall.

Gascón doesn’t want to send Tubbs to jail because he fears he will be victimized and assaulted over his gender identity.


Yes, a terrible part of me insists on whispering, “Finally; a punishment that fits the crime.”

[Update] Someone Chose Poorly

I see the rest of the world is posting stuff for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so I thought I’d bring back this little Air Farce fail from five years ago.

That was an official flyer posted at Robins AFB, Georgia. I’ve always suspected some NCO with a sense of humor like my own* talked an unwitting butterbar into that.


* Someday I may tell the whole story of my personal best in goading dumbass officers into dumbass decisions. I was drunk, sarcastic, and totally lacking in respect for the Captain. And he was a dumbass; almost fatally so. Literally.

Added: I did tell that story a couple of years ago. Scroll down to the bottom of that post. Fun times.

And just in time for the mid-terms, everyone stopped dying “of” ChinCOVID.

HHS dropped the requirement (see pages 4, 12) for hospitals to report “COVID-19 deaths.”

Actually, they dropped the reporting requirements for several things; ED overflow, ICU overflow, PPE, etc. Apparently ChinCOVID just went away and stopped being politically useful panic-inducing pandemic.

Who woulda thought it?

Consider The Source

More details on the Congregation Beth Israel perp.

Malik Faisel Akram; Brit citizen. And…

Meeting with press in Philadelphia, President Joe Biden said that the deceased suspect had previously been arrested 15 years ago and was jailed for 10 years. He noted that he may have stayed in a homeless shelter after landing in the US.

Biden said that Akram obtained the weapon used on Saturday “on the street,” possibly within the homeless community, but he was still getting more information, according to Fox News.

“This was an act of terror,” Biden said, praising the FBI.

I’ve no idea how much of that is real, and how much is Biden’s senility speaking. The FBI isn’t calling it the obvious. They won’t even admit this had anything to do with the Jewish community, despite the fact that a Brit citizen traveled to a Texas synagogue to take Jews hostage, and called yet another rabbi on the phone to negotiate.

Hmm… served ten years in prison. Doesn’t sound like a conviction the UK, where sentences tend to be rather short.

I still wonder about Akram claiming to be the “brother” of Aafia Siddiqui. I’d like to hear a recording, or read a transcript of that. Rather than a blood relationship, I suspect he meant to assert spiritual or ideological “brotherhood.”

“The laws of physics don’t apply to goats…”

Cool video of a goat.

That reminded me of something from many, many years ago, in Turkey.

I was in the Air Farce, stationed on a Turkish mountaintop. One day a few of us were riding up to the site, and we had a new kid with us, just reporting in. As we drove higher into the mountains, the kid noticed cows on the mountainsides. He wondered how the heck they stood up straight on those steep hills.

I wish I could take credit for this, but another joker told him, “They’re mountain cows.”

Kid: “Mountain cows? What’s a mountain cow?”

Joker: “Special breed of cow. They have a genetic mutation that makes the legs shorter on one side so they can stand up straight.”

Kid: “Really? I never heard of them.”

Naturally we all chimed in to assure him it was so. With straight faces. Which got a little tougher with the next part.

Joker: “Yeah, and they come in two varieties; clockwise and counterclockwise, depending on which set of legs are shorter. So the two kinds can never interbreed since they go in opposite directions.”

I nearly lost it at “clockwise and counterclockwise.”

Worst part in that the gullible kid bought it. I think it was a couple of months before he realized we were… pulling his leg.

“The FBI last night downplayed the terrorist attack saying they are “still looking for a motive.””

The Texas synagogue hostage situation yesterday.

I guess the guy must have screamed “Allahu akhbar!”

I dunno. I kinda thought an apparent Pakistani (Added: British?) declaring brotherhood with a terrorist, and demanding her release in exchange for the Jewish hostages he’d taken on the Sabbath, was fairly obvious. But I’m handicapped by knowing that not all terrorists are conservative white Americans.

Face Masks Make You More Attractive?

These guys think so.


Beyond the beauty of occlusion: medical masks increase facial attractiveness more than other face coverings
The sanitary-mask effect (Miyazaki and Kawahara in Jpn Psychol Res 58(3):261–272, 2016) is the finding that medical face masks prompt an image of disease and thus result in lower ratings of facial attractiveness of the wearer. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, medical masks have been found to increase attractiveness (Patel et al. in Plast Reconstruct Surg Glob Open 8(8), 2020) although this could have been a general effect of occlusion. To further explore this issue, female participants were presented with a series of male faces of low or high attractiveness that were occluded with a medical mask, cloth mask, book or not occluded and asked to rate them on attractiveness. The results show that faces were considered as most attractive when covered by medical masks and significantly more attractive when occluded with cloth masks than when not occluded.


Maybe if the wearer is so unattractive that hiding the face helps (yeah, that would be me). But I think they found something else.


Finally, participants showed high levels of agreement with the statements “Face masks have become part of everyday life in the past year” (M = 4.62, SD = 0.94) and “The use of face masks is effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19” (M = 4.26, SD = 0.89). This meant that investigating correlations of attractiveness differences with mask-wearing attitudes was not possible.


What they really discovered is that people stupid enough to think masks work and everyone should wear them all the time thinks masks make people more attractive. Well, they’re psych types; naturally they can’t see their own findings.

Chiraq Alderwoman Ask Constituents To Die

A moronic Dim — but I repeat myself, is one-upping the “rape whistle.”


Chicago alderwoman brings back ‘WhistleSTOP’ program to deter crime
Lincoln Park Alderman Michele Smith (D-43) is asking her constituents to buy whistles and blow them if they see certain crimes unfold.

“The idea is to let people know that they’re being watched in the community, and being supported by the community and help take back our streets,” said Smith.


Yes, a stupid idea. But how can you make it even more stupid?


In the bulletin, she writes, “if you find yourself in a suspicious situation or witness a crime, blow your whistle. If you hear a whistle, call the police, then move toward the source while blowing your own whistle.”


Yep. That stupid. Approach an active crime scene. Gangbangers shooting it out over drug turf, or just another episode in Revenge Shooting of the Day? Blow your whistle to call the thugs’ attention to yourself as you go to wattch the excitement.

On the bright side, in Chicago I don’t think many folks are going to take her advice.
