Bathroom Bill Proponent Calls Efforts 'Battle Over Who We Are as Human Beings'

. . . Helmberger said people like Springsteen should worry more about people in the restrooms to which the transgendered community wants admittance.

“It goes to something that is a fundamental, basic right and expectation, the right and expectation of privacy,” Helmberger said, “in intimate facilities like restrooms and locker rooms especially when you are talking about men invading the privacy of women and young girls.”. . .

Bruce Springsteen Threatens to Boycott Michigan if Transgender Locker Room Bill Becomes Law

. . . "Springsteen was referring to a bill backed by Republicans in the Michigan legislature that would prohibit schools from allowing children to share a bathroom or locker room with their classmates of the opposite sex.

“ 'Under the bill proposal, students who do not identify with their birth gender would be accommodated if the student has written consent from a parent or guardian,” Michigan State senator Tom Casperson wrote. “The proposed legislation would not permit these students to use restrooms or locker rooms of the opposite sex if those facilities are in use or could be in use. Instead, the student would be able to use a single-occupancy restroom, staff facility or some other reasonable accommodation.”

"The bill’s backers are responding to the Michigan state Department of Education’s, “Safe and Supportive Learning Environments for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning (LGBTQ) Students,” guidelines which Casperson says would create “numerous problems, from the elimination of parental authority and notification to threatening student safety and beyond.”  . . .

Bruce Springsteen Double Standard Tour

HERE ARE SOME UPCOMING STATES BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN WILL BOYCOTT   "Talented apolitical musician Bruce Springsteen, who in no way peaked 40 years ago, made headlines by announcing that he would boycott North Carolina because it won't let men use the Ladies Room. But here is a special exciting sneak preview of upcoming dates and states that Springsteen will also be boycotting.

• "May 2016 - Bruce Springsteen announces a boycott of Wyoming for not offering gluten-free bread
• "June 2016 - Springsteen boycotts the entire state of New Mexico for cultural appropriation
• "July 2016 - A Springsteen boycott of Texas for not switching to electric cars goes mostly unnoticed outside Austin
• "August 2016 - It's not clear why Bruce Springsteen is boycotting Idaho. His attempts to clarify with indistinguishable mumbling don't actually clarify anything leading to suspicions that he just wasn't invited.
• "September 2016 - Springsteen's boycott of Alaska for having snow the "color of white supremacy" tests the allegiance of even his devoted Alaskan fans. All eight of them.
• "November 2016 - Bruce Springsteen cancels an upcoming tour of Alabama because "he heard bad things about that place".
• "December 2016 - Bruce Springsteen announces that the tour of China will go on as planned culminating in a spectacular performance for Communist Party leaders in Tiananmen Square."

All that remained of Jihadi John was 'a greasy spot on the ground' after he was killed in a drone strike, U.S. Colonel says

UK Daily Mail   Such a terrible loss for humanity

"Jihadi John was killed in a drone strike so powerful that it left his remains like a 'greasy spot on the ground', according to US Colonel Steve Warren.

"Col Warren is the first military or intelligence chief to reveal details about the death last November of the Londoner, whom he described as a 'terrorist celebrity'.

"The executioner became one of the world's most wanted men after beheading Western hostages including Britons Alan Henning, 47, and David Haines, 44.

"He was killed near the famous clock tower in the main square of Raqqa, the city that has become the de facto capital of IS in Syria." . . .

. . . 

"The death of the terrorist was steeped in irony, given that it came in the same place where the group publicly beheaded its victims and crucified their remains.

"Col Warren said Jihadi John – real name Mohammed Emwazi – was killed close to midnight on a night in November. 

"He had been walking along the square in Raqqa while talking on a mobile phone, but as he moved towards a parked car, he was hit by a drone missile.

"Col Warren said: 'I watched the video when we killed Jihadi John. 

"'We found him when he was alone on the street, when he was talking on the cell phone. And when it was all over, he was a greasy spot on the ground.'

"Asked why it had taken so long to kill the 27-year-old, Col Warren added: 'We have to positively identify the location of these guys, so we want to make sure that we can take the strike with the minimal amount of civilian casualties. This has been the most precise air campaign in the history of warfare.' " . . .

Hillary Clinton Tells Black Radio Host That She Carries Hot Sauce In Her Purse

First, recall in his 1996 Essay;Blizzard of Lies, the late William Safire said of Hillary Clinton:

"Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady -- a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation -- is a congenital liar."

and:  . . . "She had good reasons to lie; she is in the longtime habit of lying; and she has never been called to account for lying herself or in suborning lying in her aides and friends."

Then there is what is called a pathological liar:

A pathological liar lies compulsively and impulsively, almost without thinking about [the] consequences of [her] actions. [She] lies regularly on a spontaneous basis even if [she] gains no benefit from it, or even if [she] traps [her]self into it. A pathological Liar cannot control [her impulse to lie and it is usually a self defeating trait. (Edits mine, TD)

 

Now after defining our terms and providing context, let's go to this story on Hillary:

Weasel Zippers

"Trying to go as much Rachel Dolezal as she can. What other stereotypes can she hit?

"Via Daily Caller:

Hillary Clinton told a black radio host that she always carries hot sauce with her.

During an interview with “The Breakfast Club” Monday morning, Angela Yee asked the Democratic candidate what she always has in her purse.

“Hot sauce,” Clinton answered. “Yeah.”

“Now listen, I want you to know that people are going to see this and say, ‘She’s pandering to black people,’” Charlamagne Tha God told Clinton.

“Okay,” Clinton said. “Is it working? No, but seriously. I’ve been eating a lot of hot sauce. Raw peppers and hot sauce. I think it keeps my immune system strong. Hot sauce is good for you.”

In Beyonce’s song “Formation” that she performed at the Super Bowl, she sings, “I got hot sauce in my bag, swag.”

 

A serious, thoughtful look at the Sanders-Clinton debate

‘SNL’ Mocks Dem Debate, ‘Seinfeld’ References Aplenty

"This week’s “Saturday Night Live” was hosted by “Seinfeld” star Julia Louis-Dreyfus.   . . . 
"Larry David, a “Seinfeld” producer, played [Sanders], while Kate McKinnon* played Hillary Clinton, and the two debated some before taking questions from the audience.
"One of the audience members was Louis-Dreyfus playing her “Seinfeld” character Elaine Benes.

"David as Sanders evaded the question asking how he would break up big banks by saying, “Once I’m elected president, I’ll have a nice scvhitz in the White House gym, I’ll sit them down and yadda yadda yadda, they’ll be broken up.”

“ 'Elaine” then asked “Sanders” if he thought the super rich should pay more in taxes, even those who were actors on very successful sitcoms." . . .

Trump May Soon Discover Independent Campaign Is His Only Option Left  "What’s up with all of this after-the-fact complaining we’ve heard from Donald Trump in the wake of his recent losses to Senator Cruz? Yesterday, Mr. Cruz romped in Wyoming. Mr. Trump charged that the Texan had bought the delegates. A week earlier after Mr. Cruz swept Colorado, a Trump lieutenant accused the Cruz campaign of “Gestapo tactics.' ”

HBO edits "Confirmation" to favor Anita Hill

"I'd rather see a documentary about sexual harassment and the American public mind in the 1990s, beginning with the you-just-don't-get-it scolding that was delivered over the high-tech-lynched body of Clarence Thomas followed by the it's-just-sex championing of the Democratic Party hero Bill Clinton. That was one hell of a transition."

Althouse  "Despite a surface appearance of fairness, “Confirmation” makes clear how it wants the hearings to be remembered: Ms. Hill told the whole truth and Mr. Thomas was thus a desperate, if compelling, liar. Her supporters were noble; his Republican backers were scheming character assassins.

"This is consistent with how the media conveyed the story at the time and, especially, in the years hence. Yet immediately after millions of people witnessed the hours of televised testimony, polls showed that Americans by a margin of more than 2 to 1 found Judge Thomas more believable than Ms. Hill. Viewers of “Confirmation” were deprived of several aspects of the story that might have made them, too, skeptical of Ms. Hill. The most-salient of many examples....

"Go to the link for the details.

"I haven't watched the show. I'd have to force myself. I remember the original quite clearly and don't feel any urge to watch actors endeavoring to seem like the real people or to worry about how HBO is trying to manipulate us in the direction I would assume they'd manipulate us. For me, there's no entertainment value and no educational value. I'd rather see a documentary about sexual harassment and the American public mind in the 1990s, beginning with the you-just-don't-get-it scolding that was delivered over the high-tech-lynched body of Clarence Thomas followed by the it's-just-sex championing of the Democratic Party hero Bill Clinton. That was one hell of a transition."
Emphasis added, TD

Comment to this post:   "I think that it was back in the day when the seriousness of the accusation was more important than the facts behind it. And, most importantly, before so many of Thomas' accusers running interference for President Clinton, who really did sexually assault women, up to, and including possibly, raping them, as well as committing workplace sexual misconduct. Thomas was tarred for what, at worse, if it had been true, would have been a bad sexual joke, and probably wouldn't have made the papers if it had happened after Lewinsi's(sp) Blue Dress. "

Hate Your GPS's Voice? Garmin Lets You Record Your Own

. . . "The free download (for PC only) lets users record their own voice directions and load them onto compatible Garmin nüvi devices (Here's the list; all but the nüvi 300 and 600 series are supported.) Garmin says the process of recording directions and loading onto a device takes roughly 30 minutes.

"Voice commands can be recorded for any of Garmin's standard instructions, such as "Enter Roundabout" and "Make a U-turn." Users can also share customized voices with each other, which I bet would make for some great pranks -- "Turn left! No, wait, turn right! Actually, you'd better just turn around. I'm lost. Sigh.' " . . .

How GPS voice-over recording works.   "Bob Dylan, one-time voice of a generation, is allegedly mulling offers to become the voice of satellite navigational devices. The default for GPS audio is anonymous and generic, but celebrities like Dennis Hopper and Mr. T have recorded alternative tracks. How do such voice-overs—which contain a seemingly infinite number of specific directions—actually get recorded?" . . .

Veiled Betrayal: Respect Muslim Women, But Don't Sell Them Out.

"But some very brave westernized Muslim girls and women have also paid a high price for their decision to dress Western-style. They've been threatened with death, battered, imprisoned at home, rushed into forced marriages, escorted to and from school — and have been the victims of honor killings."

Phyllis Chesler   "The stewardesses of Air France are outraged and have just refused to don headscarves when they fly into Tehran, as the mullahs have demanded.

"Viva La France!

"The French stewardesses have more dignity, more sobriety, and more self-respect than many American and European women do, beginning with trendsetting celebrities, female diplomats and first ladies, who have all donned headscarves, (hijab), face masks, (niqab), or full burqas when visiting Muslim countries — and as carefree fashion statements.

"For example, Madonna, three Kardashian sisters, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry and Nicole Richie have all recently posted photos of themselves in Islamic "drag," either on visits to Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Morocco or just because it suited their fancy. They're posed wearing filmy, long scarves (Katy Perry), heavy black hijab (Kylie Kardashian, Rihanna), niqab or face masks (Madonna), heavy hijab plus abayas (Gomez) and almost full burqas (Kim and Khloe Kardashian).

"Such female celebrities may influence Western girls more than female Western political leaders can. They don't understand that they are "slumming"; they can remove their exotic Islamic garb and pose naked whenever they choose to do so. This isn't possible for Muslim girls and women who are forced to wear the Islamic veil (headscarf, face mask, or full head, face and body covering) and who risk death when they resist.

"Being forced to adopt a colonizing custom that subordinates women; being forced to "pretend" that one is a Muslim when that isn't the case; being made to feel shameful, shameless, if one is naked-faced, is an act of psychological warfare.

"Remember the sole female Navy sailor who was forced to don hijab on board while Iran held American sailors in captivity? It was an outrage, and reminiscent of how Barbary pirates once treated their captured Christian female slaves." . . .

What? So now a transgender or even a man who dresses as a transgender and enters a girl’s bathroom is a “fight for civil rights.” Are you kidding me? This insanity needs to stop!
"States need to stop this insanity now! Businesses shouldn’t be subject to criminal penalties from forbidding transgenders or transsexuals into a woman’s washroom, shower or locker room. This isn’t about discrimination. This is about “local control”. The federal government shouldn’t be holding states “hostage” for such stupidity. What’s next bathrooms for pedophiles?"

To what was Bruce Springsteen referring when he said this?

"To my mind, it's an attempt by people who cannot stand the progress our country has made in recognizing the human rights of all of our citizens to overturn that progress," Springsteen said in a statement."

Answer: "The newly enacted law requires individuals to use bathrooms that correspond to the gender on their birth certificate, and has drawn fierce criticism for excluding legal protections from gay and transgender people." North Carolina has opposed this law.

Under the Bus; There is so much wrong with Hillary

Via Odysseus

Back in my day, it was considered immoral for a president to get divorced.  What about a woman who hangs onto the coattails of a serial harasser of females, Bill, and then asks women to vote for her on the basis of her standing up for women's rights?

There is just so much wrong with Hillary

. . . "All that Hillary has done has a dark underside to it, whether it is the barnacles clinging to failed Hillarycare or the revolution in Libya.

"Hillary failed to fortify Benghazi and lied to the families about the cause of their loved ones' deaths.  She blamed a video rather than al-Qaeda, even though she knew the truth.

"When Hillary said, "What difference at this point does it make?," she was telling us that the administration's lie to the public about the influence of the video was irrelevant because the American people are irrelevant.

"Hillary is a crook with a degenerate legacy that she shares with her pedophilic husband.  Everyone she has touched falls through her fingers like sand.

"Hillary, our potential commander-in-chief, offered us the Russian reset, yet we are in another cold war.  She and that weakling Obama are no match for Putin, and they could be responsible for the end of the world.  It might turn out that weakness rather than strength will be apocalyptic.

"Remember Reagan tearing down the wall.  Hillary and Obama have invited the Muslims and the Russians to step on our faces." . . .

Maureen Dowd: Hillary Is Not Sorry

A plague on both their houses.

NY Times

"It’s hard not to feel sorry for Hillary Clinton. She is hearing ghostly footsteps.

"She’s having her inevitability challenged a second time by a moralising senator with few accomplishments who chides her on her bad judgement on Iraq and special-interest money, breezily rakes in millions in small donations online, draws tens of thousands to rock-star rallies and gets more votes from young women.

"But at least last time, it was a dazzling newcomer who also offered the chance to break a barrier. This time, Hillary is trying to fend off a choleric 74-year-old democratic socialist.

"Some close to the campaign say that those ghostly footsteps have made Hillary restive. The deja vu has exasperated Bill Clinton, who griped to an audience in New York last Friday that young supporters of Bernie Sanders get excited because it sounds good to say,

“Just shoot every third person on Wall Street and everything will be fine”." . . .
