Katei Roiphe: "The New Twitter Feminism"

Katie Roiphe's article in the March 2018 issue of Harper's has exposed the twisted agenda and tactics of the #MeToo movement, especially its censorious and underhanded tactics. Roiphe relates how she was attacked by feminists just by daring to question them:

Before the piece was even finished, let alone published, people were calling me “pro-rape,” “human scum,” a “harridan,” a “monster out of Stephen King’s ‘IT,’?” a “ghoul,” a “bitch,” and a “garbage person”—all because of a rumor that I was planning to name the creator of the so-called Shitty Media Men list. The Twitter feminist Jessica Valenti called this prospect “profoundly shitty” and “incredibly dangerous” without having read a single word of my piece. Other tweets were more direct: “man if katie roiphe actually publishes that article she can consider her career over.” “Katie Roiphe can suck my dick.” With this level of thought policing, who in their right mind would try to say anything even mildly provocative or original?

Roiphe then goes on to name how many members of #MeToo are manhating psychopaths. In particular a certain Leah Finnegan who makes Twitter posts like:

i stand by my comments about the need for obamacare to cover castration."

It's interesting because Finnegan herself looks like the living image of vagina dentate.

It's clear that #MeToo, and maybe Feminism itself has been taken over by a nutter fringe. Hopefully, it will blow itself up soon.

Postscript: actress Heather Locklear ("Dynasty" "Melrose Place" "Spin City") was arrested Sunday night after attacking her boyfriend and a police officer. Is there a connection here? I'll have to think about it further.

Trump Is Throwing Away Iraq

The Conservative media has lately begun to tout Trump's "victory" in Iraq. For the record the fight against ISIS was the work of the Obama administration. But moving on the Trump administration says it won't give Iraq any reconstruction aid. Estimates are the Iraq needs around $80 billion to rebuild from the fighting. Iraq has recently had to pass the hat, so to speak, asking for handout from the other Arab States.

Without reconstruction Iraq will probably slide back into chaos. Trump, once again has failed to show leadership, and continues to make bonehead decisions.

Hypocrisy, Duplicity, or Insanity?

Last week the US Congress passed a budget deal that would increase spending by $300 billion dollars over 2 years. Coming after the tax cut plan, this will increase the deficit. At the same time the Trump White House has come up with a new "infrastructure" plan that will among other things allow states to charge tolls on interstate highways, further roll back environment regulations, and sell of the airport in Washington DC. Trump also want to spend $716 billion on defense. Trump and the GOP remain convinced that tax cuts and runaway military spending are the keys to prosperity. More likely, it will run this country right into the ground.

Something Completely Different

For this week's post, instead of the usual gloom and doom, I decided to post something really funny. It seems that Trump went outdoors without his "MAGA" cap and the wind exposed a part of him we don't usually see; his scalp.



This confirms that Trump only has a few patches of hair left. He lets these patches grow long and then he "coifs" them into his unique hair nest.

Strange Case From the UK

Jemma Beale, a 25 year old native of London England, received a 10 year prison sentence for perjury and perverting the course of justice. She claimed to have been raped by 9 men over several years. One of these accusations led to the conviction of a man named Mahad Cassim, who was jailed for seven years. Cassim's conviction was subsequently overturned and that led to the revelation of Beale's lies. It seems that Beale, who is a lesbian, started making up the allegations in order to get sympathy from her partner. Beale also received £11,000 in criminal injuries compensation. It seems that a system like that would create incentives for women to make false allegations of rape.
