The Internet home for American gay conservatives.
NBC News celebrated Easter by publishing an editorial saying Christians are responsible for “white supremacy” and the KKK.
Wanna bet NBC News will not celebrate Ramadan with an editorial blaming Mohammedans for terrorism and ISIS.
Also, some left-wing Control Faction says that chocolate bunnies and Easter eggs are bad for Gaia and you should be ashamed.
An art gallery in Airstrip One removed a Victorian Era painting that depicted women in a state of undress; it offended the #MeToo movement.
It isn’t the first time this has happened and, oh, guess who else is involved in the sudden left-wing purge against “offensive” art?
Facebook has been criticised for removing imagery of a nude statue of the god Neptune which has stood in a public square in Bologna, Italy, for centuries. It said the work was “sexually explicit.”
Likewise, imagery of the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, Denmark, was taken down for showing “too much bare skin.”
While in 2016, officials in Florence, Italy, covered up Michelangelo’s “David” during a visit by the president of Iran, reportedly to respect the country’s cultural norms.
By the way, it’s only the depiction of the beauty of the human form that the cultural jihadists on the left find offensive; crucifixes dunked in urine and the Virgin Mary smeared in menses are still just dandy.
Heck, I’m old enough to remember when the left got their panties in a wad because George W. Bush’s Attorney General covered the hoo-hahs on a naked lady statue.
I’ve been thinking of a “List of hideous Democrat scandals that each new media frenzy serves to mask”. Examples:
Just to pick one, let’s talk Awan scandal. Its outlines have become more clear and it has hit the New York Post, at least:
Federal authorities are investigating whether sensitive data was stolen from congressional offices by several Pakistani-American tech staffers and sold to Pakistani or Russian intelligence, knowledgeable sources say.
What started out 16 months ago as a scandal involving the alleged theft of computer equipment from Congress has turned into a national security investigation involving FBI surveillance of the suspects.
Investigators now suspect that sensitive US government data — possibly including classified information — could have been compromised and may have been sold to hostile foreign governments that could use it to blackmail members of Congress or even put their lives at risk.
“This is a massive, massive scandal,” a senior US official familiar with the widening probe told The Post…
For more than a decade, Awan, his wife, two relatives and a friend worked for 30 House Democrats…members of the sensitive Intelligence and Foreign Relations committees.
The Democrats who hired the five suspects apparently did a poor job vetting them. Awan’s brother Abid had a rap sheet with multiple offenses, including a conviction for DWI a month before he was hired, and filed for bankruptcy in 2012.
Most had relatively little IT experience. Yet they hauled in a combined $4 million-plus over the past decade. One, a former McDonald’s worker, was suddenly making as much as a chief of staff…
On Thursday, a federal grand jury indicted Imran Awan on four seemingly unrelated felony counts including bank fraud, conspiracy and making false statements. They also indicted his wife, Hina Alvi.
Emphasis emphasied. The Awans did it at least partly by stealing equipment and having Democrats say “Nothing to see here”:
A chief of staff for Democratic Rep. Yvette Clarke quietly agreed in early 2016 to sign away a $120,000 missing electronics problem on behalf of two former IT aides now suspected of stealing equipment from Congress…
…the chief of staff signed a form that quietly reconciled the missing equipment in the office budget, the official told TheDCNF. Abid Awan remained employed by the office for months after the loss of the equipment was flagged.
Separately, the brothers are suspected to have orchestrated a long-running fraud scheme in which the office would purchase equipment in a way that avoided tracking by central House-wide administrators. They’re suspected of working with an employee of CDW Government Inc. — one of the Hill’s largest technology providers — to alter invoices in order to avoid tracking. The result would be that no one outside the office would notice if the equipment disappeared, and investigators think the goal of the scheme was to remove and sell the equipment outside of Congress…
Those fraud schemes are two major parts of the criminal case being built against Imran Awan, his wife Hina Alvi, his two brothers Abid and Jamal, and potentially others into their Capitol Hill IT work. Their work as IT aides gave them full access to all emails and files of dozens of members of Congress…
And on it goes.
Although the story has hit Fox or an occasional editorial page, it should be much bigger. Huge. The timing of North Korea, a small white supremacist march in Charlottesville, Muslim terrorist attacks in Europe, Alt Left protests…it’s all been amazing, huh?
By the way – Remember Debbie Perm-and-Eyeliner glowering at the Capitol Hill Police chief, back in May? Yes, that laptop she wanted back was bought in her office, for Imran Awan’s use.
As you know, terrorists killed at least 14 people in Barcelona on Thursday with cars, and injured at least 100 more in multiple attacks.
A group called “Islamic State” claimed responsibility, making them explicitly political and Islamic attacks.
By any objective measure, this is a much worse tragedy and problem than what happened in Charlottesville last weekend, although our thoughts and prayers are with all victims of both.
The LA Times article above phrases it oddly. LAT’s title says the attack is “blamed on ‘jihadi terrorism'”. The internal scare-quotes are theirs. The body says:
Spain’s Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said Barcelona was the victim of “jihadi terrorism”…
In other words, LA Times won’t call it jihadi terrorism; it will only report neutrally the fact that, oddly, for some strange reason that one might not be able to fathom, others choose to leap to that conclusion.
This fits in with the [Left] Media Complex Playbook that V mentioned a couple days ago.
The Swedish “artist” who has done an exhibit featuring a gay transvestite Jesus Christ (Oh, how edgy and transgressive! I bet no artist has ever tried to deliberately offend Christians before! You’re so original.) says she would never give Mohammed the same blasphemous treatment.
The so-called visual artist Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin is back with his controversial exhibition Ecce Homo, in which Jesus is produced as a transvestite. She will exhibit at this year’s Pride Festival. But some similar exhibition about the Prophet Muhammad does not come from her side.
“I will never do an Ecce Muhammad,” said Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin. “Partly because Muslims do not portray their god as we do in Christianity, partly because of the obvious risk that it will only be even more wrong. It’s a big area and so far I can not do it enough to use it in my image creation.”
This story is a few months old, but it is so indicative of the feminist left, and kind of still relevant as the feminist left in the USA currently boasts an unapologetic terrorism supporter as one of it’s figureheads.
Sweden brags about having the world’s most feminist Government. We’re talking, so left-wing feminist they would have to turn right and use binoculars to see Liz Warren. If you can imagine a country run by a Womyn’s Studies faculty, that’s what Sweden is. So, on the homefront, everything is all “smash the patriarchy” this and “womyn’s rights” that.
But when they go to a country run by Islamic Supremacists, suddenly it’s… when in Teheran, dress in the manner Islamic Supremacists force womyn to dress.
Cross The Line in the UK is a Twitter ad campaign to help people “spot the signs of right wing extremism”. Signs such as being young, doing political actions, and going to the gym:
Here’s the thing: Young, politically-involved gym-goers may vote for Brexit (gasp!), but they commit no terrorist attacks, in the UK or elsewhere. Unless they’re Muslim. If they’re Muslim, they do it all the time, killing and maiming people.
Does the UK have ad campaigns to help people spot the signs of Islamic extremism?
Simple fact is that progressive Muslims recognize my fundamental humanity and equality as a queer person more than Christian right does.
Muslims Are Boycotting Starbucks Over the Company’s Pro-LGBT Stance
Parkasa, a hard-line Muslim group in Malaysia that touts around 700,000 members, is joining another Muslim group in Indonesia, Muhammadiyah, in calling for the boycott of Starbucks.
Almost 30 million people belong to Muhammadiyah, the second-largest mainstream Muslim organization in Indonesia. They have denounced the popular coffee chain over the company’s former chief executive’s past praise for the gay community. Both organizations want Starbucks’ operating license to be revoked because the stance goes against Islamic teachings.
#RetardedCNN thought they had scored bigly, because they tracked down a nobody who launched a silly Internet meme – a funny gif of Trump beating down CNN’s company logo. And because they were able to terrorize the nobody into begging CNN’s forgiveness.
Hey CNN, how about getting back to real life? Try this one on:
On the fifth anniversary of [a controversy], I appeared on stage with five other people. Of those five… [and for having spoken about the controversy,] one was shot at point-blank range. The other had his event shot-up and two people were killed. Another was forced out of public life entirely. And the fourth had her family’s restaurant fire-bombed. Those are real threats against media figures that go on… right now.
Can you guess
The first answer might not be obvious, but the second should be super obvious. Hint: It wasn’t Trump supporters, or conservatives of any stripe. [Read more…]
