The insistence upon illegal immigration among California’s ruling elites is proceeding far beyond insanity. Senator Diane Feinstein, up for her sixth term in this year’s midterm elections, has lost Democrat party endorsement on suspicion that she has not been adequately supportive of sanctuary city policies in the past.

From the Huffington Post:

I was raised, as many Western men are, to believe that violence should be the last resort… but when you’re forced to violence, you go all-in and fight until there’s no more fighting to be done. This has proven to be very problematic in Current Year because many lesser cultures have trouble understanding the difference between kindness and weakness. They see a white man falling back from a casual threat and think he’s easy prey, when in fact he’s simply been taught no tactics between “call the police” and “two shots to the chest, one to the face”. A lot of crime from vandalism to sedition doesn’t require the latter, leaving white boy an easy victim.

Women in particular have trouble appreciating a policy of seeking cooperation over pecking order. This combined with womens’ liberation is a very toxic situation, as the men who are quicker to employ violence are also quicker to get the princess out of her panties.

Even worse, the Western man’s aversion to violence (founded upon the fact we’re so scary good at it) has led us to create laws that prevent the “finish everything” half of the equation under all but the most dire of circumstances. One increasingly cannot shotgun a burglar without first checking if he’s armed, or kneecap one’s Dindu neighbor with a tire iron for defacing his property.

At least, not legally. Which only begs for civil disobedience and lying in self-defense. This is the greatest failure of Start Nothing, Finish Everything: the finish is often visible to law enforcement but the start is not. Oops.

Therefore, you must train yourself for variable levels of self-defense. Some suggestions:

1. The bodycam route. Documenting everything is a slow but fantastically effective way to handle chronic nuisances and low-level threats. Never let it be “his word against your word”. But you do need to procure appropriate cameras for the job.

2. Project menace. Visible muscles, strong eye contact. Never admit you’re wrong or say you’re sorry in an argument with a potential threat. Don’t stare at the ground when you walk or keep hands in pockets. This is an excellent choice for men who are already tall or otherwise visually dominant. Avoid gang-style clothing, however. You don’t want to be mistaken for an actual gang-banger. You only want that perp to decide he’ll wait for the next potential victim.

3. Pepper spray. Now, I have actually used spray in combat. It’s a very poor choice for its primary advertised purpose of women scaring off “rapists” and a poor choice for any street combat because it takes too long to first take it out (you probably aren’t carrying it holstered on your belt) and then aim it (a nozzle’s direction isn’t as obvious as a stick’s or handgun’s). God help you if you “piss into the wind” or the nozzle is clogged with lint or dirt.

However, the one way pepper spray shines is when dealing with multiple chimps enjoying a chest-thumping at your expense. Dindus tend towards pack behavior and are too self-conscious (or stupid) to don personal protective equipment before humiliating you. Three Dindus complaining to cops that you sprayed them, well, who’s the likely aggressor? The one or the three? So, spray is the best option when possibly encountering groups.

If you go this route, get two of the same spray and expend one for target practice. Don’t assume you’ll figure out how to work it in the heat of the moment.

4. Martial arts. Not everybody is fit enough for this and it doesn’t help deter an attack, but winning is always nice and being psychologically comfortable with hurting others is at least half of being good at fighting. Again based on my experience, don’t try anything fancy. Knock them down (shove them back, knee kicks, grab their arm and yank) then either run or kill. There’s no shame in running.

But running won’t get you sex… and being the guy people run away from is very preselective, as a pickup artist might say.

Kevin Sharp, now a former Federal judge of Tennessee, gave a speech at the Cato institute on why he was unable to preside with a clean conscience. I’ll skip most of the speech to focus on two examples Sharp gave during the speech to explain his decision to give up a lifetime appointment after six years of service. By way of Instapundit.

https://www.cato.org/policy-report/januaryfebruary-2018/powerless-bench

Ultimately, President Obama nominated me, and the U.S. Senate unanimously confirmed me. When I took the bench in 2011, I was a former military, God-and-country, middle-of-the-road guy. I took my job very seriously. I understood the importance of the judiciary. …

Early on, I sentenced a young man, Antonio, who was 27. He was charged as a felon in possession of a firearm. He had been convicted of two armed robberies at 17 years old. At 27, Antonio is doing what we all hope a criminal defendant does after being convicted: he gets a job. He is in contact with his family. He does not do drugs. He does not drink. But Antonio had been doing one thing that he should not have been.

Antonio was driving down the street and, without being too graphic, he and his girlfriend were engaged in an activity that caused him to cross slightly over the double-yellow line. The police saw it and pulled him over. The police suspected his girlfriend was a prostitute, so they split Antonio and his girlfriend up and asked them questions. The police realized based on her answers that she in fact was Antonio’s girlfriend. Then, the police said, .OK, we are going to let you go. Oh, by the way, do you mind if we search your car?. Antonio, forgetting that he had an unloaded pistol under the front seat of his car, responded, .No, go ahead..

Antonio was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm. Because he was convicted as an adult in his prior crimes, his mandatory minimum sentence was 15 years. I read his case and thought this could not be right. Fifteen years? What are “mandatory minimums.? I did not fully understand what they were at the time. I spent the next several days trying to figure out how to get around the minimum sentence . it cannot be done.

Two points. One, I can accept a judge with limited experience with criminal law; civilian oversight is an American tradition; but I cannot accept a judge with deficient knowledge of criminal law. Sharp not understanding sentencing guidelines indicates Obama didn’t select him for his competence.

And two, why is he upset that a convicted armed robber, who obviously served less than ten years in prison for two armed robberies, is going down hard for possessing a firearm that he knew he was not allowed to have? If he’s impulsive enough to fuck his girl while driving a car then he’s impulsive enough to do another armed robbery with the handgun he kept ready. Thank God the police searched his car and caught him early.

There are real sob stories about minimum sentencing but this is not one of them.

Several years later, I had the same conversation with myself. This time, the case involved a 22-year-old kid, Chris Young. He was caught up with a group of members of the Vice Lords, a gang known for running cocaine and crack through middle Tennessee. Chris was not a member of this gang. He was an aspiring rapper who would hang out with members of the Vice Lords because one of the gang members had a studio. He was occasionally asked to make crack, but he did not know how.

Chris was arrested as part of a 30-person indictment for drug conspiracy. Chris was such a minor player in the drug conspiracy . he did not even know how to make crack. I think the only reason the DEA arrested him was because he happened to be at a gas station when they took down the Vice Lords. leader. He was at the wrong place with the wrong group at the wrong time. The only evidence showing Chris’s connection to the gang were tapes from their wiretaps where Chris is talking to the gang’s leader about how he cannot figure out why the crack he has cooked did not turn out right. The leader gets frustrated and finally says, .I.ll just come over and do it myself.” That was basically the extent of it.

The prosecutor told Chris, .You can plead guilty, and we will give you twelve years.” Chris is 22 and thinks, .12 years, no! I’m so minor in all of this, I will go to and win at trial.” His lawyer convinces him that he should not go to trial, given his two prior drug convictions (one for less than half a gram of crack, which is about a sugar packet of crack) and the penalty he could face if convicted again . a mandatory life sentence. At this point, the prosecutor changes his mind and says, .12 years was last week’s price . this week’s price is 22 years, and if you turn this down, next week’s price may be higher.. A 22-year-old, Chris thought, .22 years is life! I.ll take my chances at trial.” Only three people of this 30-person group arrested, by the way, went to trial. Everybody else pled guilty. At trial, these three people, who happened to also be the lowest members of this conspiracy, all got life in prison. Every single one of them. Yes, the Vice Lords were selling a lot of drugs, but not Chris, and not the other two defendants who also decided to go to trial. They all are behind bars for life.

A young man aspiring to the thug life with two convictions for possession of cocaine runs with a notorious drug-trafficking gang and is recorded trying to cook crack for the bosses… how is he a sympathetic figure?

Sharp explains:

Before being sentenced, Chris was asked, .Do you have anything to say?. He responded, .Yes, I do.” Chris gave a speech that he clearly had worked on for a long time. It was very articulate. He showed his understanding of economics, philosophy, and history. Here was a kid who had such great potential. I told you about my background because I recognized some parts of Chris in me. Chris was self-taught. He had taught himself Greek philosophy . and Greek names are not pronounced the way they are often spelled, so he is pronouncing these names phonetically, .SO-craits?. .YOU-rope-ides.? I struggled to understand who he was talking about. Then I realized, I know who Chris is talking about because I did the same thing when I started reading in the military. I would go to the library and pick up books and pronounce these names the way kids are taught in elementary school. I listened to Chris make the same mistakes I had made . the difference being I had opportunities that Chris Young did not have. I convinced myself then and there that .I cannot do this, I am not going to do it anymore..

Textbook care-based morality. This is maddening. First, men like Sharp destroyed fathers via the divorce courts. Then they destroyed the backup fathers–the military (which Sharp himself credited with raising him), the Church, the Boy Scouts and so on. And then, they want to see crooks go unpunished because the crooks didn’t have the chances they did… the very chances they destroyed.

A liberal is someone who treats people unjustly because he wants the world to be more just.

Judges like Sharp are why we had to create minimum sentencing guidelines in the first place. He did a good thing by resigning his cushy, lifetime appointment. He was clearly unfit. Care to guess how he’s now trying to give fatherless young men the chances he himself had? Spoiler alert, it doesn’t involve a vow of poverty:

From http //sanfordheisler.com

Judge Sharp is the Managing Partner of Sanford Heisler Sharp’s Nashville office, which opened in the spring of 2017. He joined Sanford Heisler Sharp after serving as a judge on the U.S District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee from May 2011 through April 2017, serving from 2014 to 2017 as the Court’s Chief Judge. …

In 2004, David Sanford and Jeremy Heisler founded Sanford Heisler Sharp, LLP, in an effort to litigate public interest and social justice cases that add a significant value to individuals in society as well as improve the community on a whole. Since opening its doors, Sanford Heisler Sharp has achieved unparalleled success securing extraordinary systemic changes in corporate America. In addition, the employment law firm has recovered more than one billion dollars for individual clients and the United States government.

Leopards and liberals can’t change their spots. Sharp took the judgeship thinking he could use it to force outcome-equality upon society. When the rules thwarted his efforts, he opted out for work in the lawfare-industrial complex.

I keep following Vox Day because he’s my only window into the SF/F world. There was a time I enjoyed reading… not so much anymore and VD is the only guy able/willing to clue me in on the depths of the publishing world’s depravity.

Barnes & Noble has entered its predictable death throes.

http://voxday.blogspot.com/2018/02/barnes-noble-beginning-of-end.html

The news comes as no surprise but B&N is the only chain bookstore left in California since Borders died in 2011. Soon, there will be no physical bookstores remaining except used bookstores that sell the equivalent of free Project Gutenberg. End of an era, indeed.

I speculate, what would have happened if B&N has morality-policed the publishing companies? If they’d refused to sell any books containing necrophilia or anti-Christianity? Perhaps they’d have gone out of business… but they went out of business anyway because people don’t want to buy those books. They could have refused to kick the can down the road and solicited higher-quality product from lesser publishers. What they actually did can only be described as appeasement.

Cooperating with evil is like paying Danegeld: a temporary play for enough time to eject from a problem that is not going to leave just because you feed it. Save yourself if you have no power but push back if you do. If your suppliers demand you sell shit to dupes then tell them to go to Hell. If you don’t… then the consequences will not pass you by.

Sic Semper Converged.

Meanwhile, Amazon is winning the biggest-box Big Box retailer award. But I’m having the same trouble with Amazon that I did in the brick-and-mortars: “Will this book that costs $$$ offend my conscience to the point where I refuse to even finish reading it? Does this new author belong in a mental hospital?”

Many of the books I’ve purchased from Castalia House don’t hit my fancy but they’re SAFE for me to purchase. I’m not going to end up reading about a villain getting an erection the size of a fire extinguisher from drinking the blood of an obnoxious evangelical Christian. I’m not going to read about a Mary Sue supersoldier who plots the overthrow of his government because fifteen years ago, he was conscripted away from the girl he had such a strong teenage crush on that he actually said hello. I’m not going to read about suits of powered armor whose recharging plugs are located in the crotch. I’m not going to read about how the U.S. Constitution is saved by a flaming homosexual. (That offering was from Sarah Hoyt.)

Burn in Hell, Barnes & Noble. You brought this upon yourself. You offered me filth in so many endless varieties that my only winning move was not to buy… that my love for reading fiction withered away.

I don’t advise sane people to leave California. There’s nowhere to go and plenty of niches in which to hide from the Sacramento Satanists. I do, however, advise sane people to leave Los Angeles specifically. There’s a story to that and its time has come.

In 1990s Los Angeles, the Dept. of Water & Power was operated separately from the city government. Different budgets, different leadership, etc. The city council was cash-strapped as a result of its breathtaking corruption (read up on Gil Garcetti on Infogalactic for a peek, then notice his son is the current mayor). The DWP was better managed and actually running a profit.

The city council kept trying to tap into the DWP’s budget, pressuring it for no-interest loans and trying to plant moles in its leadership. DWP fought back by cooking its books. It spent all its profits on spare parts, hid them everywhere and then complained to the city council that they didn’t have any money to loan out. Leave us alone, we’re broke too!

Then the 1994 Northridge Earthquake happened.

The good: DWP was able to restore basic services city-wide in less than 72 hours because its stockyards were already overflowing with replacement parts.

The bad: LA city council noticed DWP pulling a new power grid out of its ass.

The ugly: LA city council was denied potentially millions of disaster relief dollars because infrastructure was repaired too quickly.

I can’t say how that story ends because I lost my DWP contact shortly afterward but if bureaucratic corruption is any indicator, by now Los Angeles infrastructure has been sabotaged by the city council to ensure the deaths of thousands the next time disaster strikes. Our leaders will not be denied their bribe money.

New Orleans? Puerto Rico? The suffering of their people was <i>useful</i> to their governments. A bargaining chip for more cheese. Los Angeles is now both a geological powder keg and an ethnic powder keg, and managed by people who see human misery as a chance for personal profit… get the Hell out of there.

Time and again in the Manosphere, I see the idea that the men women desire are masculine men. If this was true then feminism would have been the best thing to ever happen to the human race. Women would desire the most successful men, have his babies and the world would be bright and optimistic because women act female and men act male, just as God designed us to.

Ain’t happenin’.

Let’s recap the Game principles of what male traits most sexually excites women:

1. Sociopathy

2. Narcissism

3. Manipulation

4. Lack of responsibility

5. Exciting/Drama

6. Dominance (height, wealth, etc.)

Those are, in fact, feminine traits. Women are opportunistic lovers; natural narcissists and manipulators; craving emotional experiences even at the cost of safety. The one trait that doesn’t match up is dominance. Therefore, the most desirable men are the ones who behave like women while possessing dominance, or “male privilege”. This makes sense from the Christian perspective of women envying men. The sexy man is everything she wants to be and as a result, she looks up to him (when not trying to control him).

Masculine traits:

1. Preference for logic & abstract thought over emotional experience

2. Self-control and discipline

3. Honesty

4. Future time orientation

5. Not preoccupied with status; accepting of others as peers

The two lists are nearly antonyms. Women are as strongly opposed to masculine traits in men as they are attracted to feminine traits in men. Any comparison of a Christian Grey to an Ernie Engineer will yield similar results.

The idea that masculine men are attractive to women is a falsehood that should be confronted vigorously. This is straight out of Christianity. We know from Proverbs that women are life-destroyers and king-killers. Solomon was a case study. Christ and Paul advised avoiding women if it’s at all doable. Christ even went a step further and said some men would be denied the chance to be sexual successes.

Female approval NEVER gives you your man card. In fact, if women are constantly attracted towards you then it’s a good bet you’re somehow displaying emotional instability, sexual perversion or casual violence. Time to review your body language and wardrobe!

Heck, one can simply cite Alpha Fux/Beta Bux as proof that Barbie prefers the flaming homosexual playboy to Cubicle Charlie. But who makes the better father?

This pattern holds true for the spiritual side of sexuality as well. Humans don’t want God the Father. We want Zeus the “I’m the deity you wish you were!” God is overly patient, not vulnerable to our manipulative efforts, rarely exciting and way too nice to His enemies. In our frustration, all the gods that humans have invented over the years behave exactly like humans down to Zeus’ marital troubles, only with superhuman power and a general absence of consequences. Some religions like Shinto make gods of actual humans.

Denying oneself and submitting to healthy authority is never easy. Not for women, not for humanity. The converse of this is if that submission does comes easily then that’s a red flag to be investigated, not a proof of virtue.

We have feminism because women naturally hate and envy healthy masculinity.

When you think about it, what’s the point? Such shootings are a consequence, not a cause, and are therefore healthy indicators of Progress. Stopping them is like building a cruise missile, loading it with nerve gas, deploying it, firing it at a city and then trying to protect the target city by exploding it the moment before impact. No, the time to stop that threat was long, long ago, and no ultra-draconian last-quarter-second intervention can possibly create a happy ending.

School shooters are the pinnacle of liberal achievement. Teach kids that human life isn’t sacred; that they’re nothing but highly organized chemical puddles with no objective morality beyond what they can get away with. Then, teach ’em that the only purpose of life is breeding while twisting their sexuality into every unnatural fruity flavor that Satan’s whores can invent. Then, punish the kids who obey the rules without mercy while turning a blind eye to the kids who don’t. Pick out the fatherless boys with behavior problems for “special attention”.

And then, act totally surprised when a few graduates of your horror factory decide to stomp some chemical puddles in order to feel better in their sexually violated solipsism. Well done, shooters! You learned what you were taught. You even killed some of the most vile human rights abusers in the world–public schoolteachers–and that’s nothing to be ashamed of.

I only wish the price hadn’t been your souls. My apologies, but I’m not in a position to help you. Not having kids of my own means I’m as welcome on a school campus as a leper. Less so, since anchor babies probably aren’t screened for contagious disease.

Memo to the teachers and administrators of every public school that desegregated its bathrooms, preaches Godlessness and teaches sodomy is healthy: you deserve to be murdered by your students. You bred that monster, now feed it.

There’s been considerable demand in the Manosphere for a replacement to Vox Day’s famous Alpha-Omega sociosexual ranking system. While that system has been incredibly insightful, predictive and influential, the fact that its primary metric is sexual success is a limitation in as sexually screwball a society as the West has become. I myself qualify as both a Delta (by behavioral traits) and Omega (by sexual success). Therefore, I’ve come up with a political/economic ranking system. (Personality ranking systems already exist in quantity.)

The Four Medieval Archetypes:

Most people start off as Pawns with neither much success nor naturally caring about our fellow man. It’s the natural state of the human soul. The defining characteristic of Pawns is their willingness to trade their limited resources for the protection and patronage of the successful. The direct implication here is they let their motivations be defined by others or the needs of the moment; they don’t need much in the way of abstract morality.

As people gain experience and opportunities, shifting right tends to happen more quickly than shifting up. The Merchant is the “self-made man”. He’s confident enough to take risks, willing to be unpopular and defines his own path rather than accepting a preconceived one. He is not necessarily wealthy or working sales.

Like Pawns, Kings are less concerned with doing right than with gaining power. The difference is they’ve reached the point where they are the ones calling the shots in society. Kings and Pawns seek each other out the former need minions and the latter want a share of the King’s success.

Knights also have society-directing power but are less interested in using it for selfish gain. They tend to be driven either by ideology or by correcting wrongs committed against them earlier in life or in warding off threats to general society. Knights find kinship with Merchants who, being independent, are always nervous about being robbed by Kings. In fact, the most common form of Knight, impartial law enforcement, is often directly funded by Merchants.

Pawns do not automatically graduate to Kings and Merchants don’t always graduate to

I’ve tried hard to not have any category be designated as the “bad” category because any ranking system like this works best when people honestly self-identify into the correct categories. Anybody wishing a morality ranking system should check out Christianity and give up.

Where Do You Fit?

The dominance axis is easy. It’s a question of how much ability you have to influence those around you. A fat bank account helps, too. Supervisors, business owners, pundits and church leaders are all fairly dominant whereas work that involves little social contact or impact on society are not.

The selfish-social axis is harder. Maslow’s hierarchy provides a “current” pushing one rightward but one’s worldview and natural abilities also play large roles. Indicative questions:

Do I view life as a zero-sum game?

Can I provide for myself during hard times?

Do I have strong in-group preferences?

Would I continue working if I won the lottery?

Don’t be too quick to self-identify as a Merchant. Being a Pawn is safe, effective and rewarding with minimal effort. All that most people want from life is knowing that they and their families will be provided for.

Women never reach the Knight category. That’s a near-impossible level of mental abstraction and independence for them.

Implications/Predictions

Kings favor aggression and constant, low-level violence, much like the sexual Alpha and for a similar reason: maintaining one’s success becomes its own job. Women being natural Pawns, are attracted first to Kings and then to Pawns. Successful Merchants can score women in a stable society but their independent lives can become liabilities if wifey can frivorce them during the inevitable low points.

Identity politics are the bread and butter of the King/Pawn setup. Clear definitions of loyalties and a lack of (acted-upon) selfish counter-interests make it a very strong setup. The price, however, is slavery and lack of imagination. The Merchant/Knight setup maximizes freedom and innovation at the price of solidarity. The KP setup is extremely hostile towards the MK setup because given the chance, Kings will harm people who aren’t personally loyal to them before they harm people who are. If they don’t have a strong protector then many will make a point of doing so. MKs aren’t naturally hostile in return–your life, your choice, they might say–but not being stupid, they realize that strong Kings are existential threats. This is typically what gives rise to Knights in the first place.

A possible reason so many Americans were able to be duped into supporting weaponized immigration is because the Baby Boomers contained an unusually high percentage of Merchants. Lacking the strong in-group preferences of Pawns, supporting immigration for the emotional hit of virtue-signaling was an easy mistake, especially since the perpetrators of modern immigration had a stranglehold on news media at the time to prevent feedback.

Many Merchants today wish they were Pawns but can’t find a King offering them a tolerable deal. A typical example is an alt-Righter who refers to Donald Trump as “the God-Emperor”. I don’t think they mean it ironically; I think they mean it as, they hope the current President sweeps all their troubles away and brings them the success, safety and (frankly) continued existence that the Left tries so hard to exterminate.

Man Accuses #MeToo Leader of Sexual Misconduct

Feb. 8, 2018

http://www.yahoo.com/news/male-staffer-accuses-california-assemblywoman-misconduct-003752466.html

Black Lives Matter is upset after the Super Bowl riots because police went easier on disorganized white rioters who didn’t attack cops then they normally go on organized black rioters who do attack cops:

“Somehow, it seems there’s a line drawn in the sand where destruction of property because of a sports victory is OK and acceptable in America. However, if you have people who are fighting for their most basic human right, the right to live, they will be condemned,” Black Lives Matter New York President Hawk Newsome told Newsweek. …

Emergency responders struggled to keep up with rioters as they marched through Philadelphia streets leaving destruction in their wake. Revelers reportedly ripped down light posts, caused entire structures to collapse, and damaged vehicles and store buildings as they celebrated the Eagles’ 41-33 victory.

But officials appeared slow to condemn the destruction caused by rioters, offering seemingly gentle requests for everyone to “go home.” …

“Still going strong in the [Office of Emergency Management]. But, if everyone could go home that would be great,” Philadelphia Police Sergeant Brian Geer wrote on Twitter at 9:30 p.m., adding: “We have to get some rest to start planning a parade in the morning.” …

Newsome called the lack of condemnation from officials “a glaring example of white privilege.”

“You can riot if you’re white and your team wins, but if you’re black and being killed, you can’t speak out,” he added.

Black Lives Matter, which works to raise awareness around racial inequality and police brutality, first came under the public spotlight after organizing protests in response to the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, a black teenager, who was fatally shot by George Zimmerman, a white man, [GQ: not white] while walking home from a convenience store with a bag of Skittles and a drink.

Since then, the group has faced strong opposition from law enforcement and groups like Blue Lives Matter and All Lives Matter. A recent survey conducted last year also found that 57 percent of people in America had an “unfavorable view” of BLM, with the majority of those opposed to the group being white.

Not surprising when blacks introduced the concept of “my race, right or wrong” to North America. It must suck to watch police go lighter on drunken idiots than “Knockout Game” players avenging their local drug pusher. And of course, it doesn’t help when one proves his case by lying about the facts of his case.

Starting with http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Legislature-releases-details-of-sexual-harassment-12547495.php

SACRAMENTO . The state Senate and Assembly released a cache of documents Friday revealing 20 substantiated complaints of sexual harassment or inappropriate behavior against lawmakers or high-level legislative staffers over the past 12 years.

The nearly 100 pages of documents include cases against six current and former elected officials: Republican gubernatorial candidate Travis Allen, an Assemblyman from Huntington Beach (Orange County); Assemblywoman Autumn Burke, D-Inglewood (Los Angeles County); Sen. Bob Hertzberg, D-Van Nuys; former Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra, D-San Fernando Valley (Los Angeles County); former Sen. Roderick Wright, D-Inglewood; and suspended Sen. Tony Mendoza, D-Artesia (Los Angeles County).

The article goes on to give case-by-case details. But we should forgive them because they try to be champions and models:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5358395/Ex-San-Fran-mayor-says-learned-affair.html

A top California official who had an affair with a subordinate more than 10 years ago while he was mayor of San Francisco says a culture of “toxic masculinity” is fueling violence against women in America.

Gavin Newsom, California’s lieutenant governor who is running for governor of the Golden State in elections scheduled for later this year, was asked about the affair in light of the #MeToo movement.

Newsom was recently asked in an interview in front of an audience at the University of San Francisco why voters in California should consider him for governor given his past indiscretions.

.I would say the same thing that I said (then) to the voters in San Francisco: that I acknowledged it. I apologized for it. I learned an enormous amount from it,. Newsom said according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

And I am every day trying to be a champion and a model – not just for women and girls – but to deal with the issue that we need to focus on, which is the crisis with men and boys in this state and in this country..

Maybe women should choose a man who never committed adultery to be a champion & model of healthy masculinity? But I doubt that’s who they’ll actually choose because honest men are bad for drama. And so in the Gynocracy of Commiefornia, the gatekeepers of public morality are its most spectacular failures. “Follow my example,” Newsom might say. “I porked my campaign manager’s wife, destroyed his marriage and got away with it by saying Oops when I was found out… vote for me!”

At least #MeToo promises to make midterm elections interesting.

If it wasn’t official before, the D.C. Diocese of the Episcopal Church is in full, feminist-fueled rebellion against Almighty God.

http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/u.s.-episcopal-diocese-votes-to-stop-using-masculine-pronouns-for-god1

The Episcopal church in the Diocese of Washington, D.C., passed a resolution last week to stop using masculine pronouns for God in future updates to its Book of Common Prayer.

.Over the centuries our language and our understanding of God has continued to change and adapt,. the drafters of the resolution stated. The drafters said that referring to God using masculine pronouns is to “limit our understanding of God.”

“By expanding our language for God, we will expand our image of God and the nature of God,” they stated.

But Clergy delegate The Rev. Linda R. Calkins from St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church in Laytonsville, Maryland, challenged the delegates to go further.

Calkins read from Genesis Chapter 17, in which God tells Abraham .I am El Shaddai.” She said that if Episcopalians “are going to be true to what El Shaddai means, it means God with breasts..

.Having studied much feminist theology in my masters. degrees, I wrote a thesis on liberation and freedom and non-equality in feminist theology and existential counseling,. Calkins told the delegates, as reported by The Institute On Religion & Democracy.

Unholy succubi, Batman! She’s trying to alter God’s nature by changing the words used to describe God’s nature. I’ve blogged before about the uneasy association between women and reality but this is the same as claiming the Author of Life is a social construct.

They blaspheme the name of Christ. Let’s see what we can expose with this convenient PDF they published. I archived it on my site because future generations need to see exactly what we’re complaining about.

Buckle up.

Beginning on Page 12, we have a photo directory of the Diocese’s fresh blood. The count is… 32 men and 6 women. Wow, that’s not at all what I was expecting. Wigs seem to be the fashion in D.C., though. Hang on… wait… FFS, these are women?

Oops, one of them is male. Guess which? Yeah, it seems like all this transgendering is nothing but women turning themselves into men in defiance of DNA. They should call it retrogendering.

Actual count is 12 men, 26 women. I think.

Moving on to finances on page 34, the diocese is in the black. A full 30% of diocese income is a “1973 Ruth Soper Fund”. A quick Net search turned up a very interesting article:

http://www.virtueonline.org/diocese-washington-gains-control-mrs-soper%E2%80%99s-millions

When the Diocese of Washington became short of money in [about 1999], the administration began to use interest from the Soper Trust for its operating costs. Within the diocese, numerous arguments and resolutions came out of the internal conflict over the Soper Trust, including a successful 2002 convention vote requesting that the administration of the diocese cease from using her money for operating costs and use it only for direct ministries to help suffering humanity.

Diocesan officials continued its practice of using the Soper money for operating expenses. Then in 2010 without making this information known publicly to the General Convention of the Diocese of Washington, officials quietly initiated the lawsuit to end the Soper Trust. …

So this long saga, beginning with Mrs. Soper’s generous contributions to many charities, ended sadly. In 1967 when designing her will, Ruth Gregory Soper believed that her money and its ensuing legacy be supervised by a bank she trusted, Riggs Bank and its successor, PNC Bank. The Maryland Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler seemed to consider the Soper Trust almost inconsequential and refused to help preserve this over 40-year-old trust.

As the trustee, PNC struggled to honor Mrs. Soper’s wishes, yet their lawyers lost the war following court decisions. A second trustee, Thomas D. Murphy, took the lead of the Soper Trust and, in less than two weeks, allowed the entire trust to be terminated and the money turned over to the financially strapped Episcopal Diocese of Washington.

That’s some dirty pool, there. I wonder how many other converged churches are quietly making money grabs… and timing the money to die when they do. The D.C. diocese is timing the Soper fund to run out in 20 years per footnotes on page 43.

Skipping ahead to Resolution #1 -On Becoming a Sanctuary Diocese, page 93:

Resolved, that the people of the Diocese of Washington, as disciples of Jesus Christ and persons of faith and conscience, take seriously the biblical mandate not to wrong or oppress the alien in our midst, and in faithfulness to our Baptismal Covenant, oppose the policies of the incumbent Executive Branch that target undocumented immigrants for deportation while also placing undue restrictions on refugees seeking safe haven in the U.S…

Hey, it’s Trump Derangement Syndrome! TDS sufferers, did you know it’s illegal to oppose Trump’s immigration enforcement efforts? It’s “8 U.S. Code ? 1324 – Bringing in and harboring certain aliens” and punishable by up to 5 years per illegal alien.

Dear God, there is no bottom to the immigration war. No words to explain it with. I used to think it was misguided altruism but that doesn’t begin to explain the furor and intensity with which the SJWs want to flood the West with vibrants.

Resolution #2 – On Inclusion of Transgendered People

Resolved, that Th e Episcopal Diocese of Washington affirms that all transgender people, and anyone whose gender identity and expression differs from that assigned at birth, are beloved children of God…

“Assigned at birth” means freaking DNA. Gender is not a social construct because YOU CAN SEE IT UNDER A MICROSCOPE!

and be it further Resolved, that The Episcopal Diocese of Washington support educational, pastoral, liturgical, and legislative efforts that seek to end the systemic violence against transgender people, calling special attention to the rise in violence against transgender women of color;

What systematic violence? My ancestors let you take over the government, the Church, the courts and the working world, and today men like me hide for our own safety. I hear UK police chiefs are giving you cry rooms and menopause leave. Oh, right. It’s a microscope thing.

and be it further Resolved, that the Episcopal Diocese of Washington encourage all parishes to remove all obstacles to full participation in congregational life by making all gender-specific facilities and activities fully accessible, regardless of gender identity and expression.

Two words: children’s bathrooms.

Resolution #3 – On the Gendered Language for God

Covered above.

I nearly missed a dustup between youTube MGTOWs Turd Flinging Monkey & DDJ on one side, and MGTOW 101, Kris Cantu & Angry MGTOW, the makers of some kind of Red Pill Cryptocurrency, on the other. The latter made accusations and attacks on sponsors against the former… DDJ gives an excellent recap for the interested:

While I’m not familiar with the principals, the matter seems straightforward. Cantu & associates tried to monetize the MGTOW movement, the monetization turned out to be fraudulent and onetime allies got stuck between dollars and buddies.

There’s an adage that you never go into business with family or friends. Excellent advice. It’s hard to separate “Larry, your bowling partner” from “Larry, the nitwit who convinced you to invest your life savings in Sears and Marvel Comics”. Same thing with MGTOW. It isn’t something that is meant to be profitable, heck, if society was healthy then MGTOW wouldn’t be something that would exist. We men would be getting rich the simple way, mixing work ethic with frugal spending.

Buy the T-shirt? Sure! Subscribe to get more content/entertainment? Of course! But once big money gets involved, fallout is more likely than not. There’s too much anonymity in the MGTOW movement and often, too much plain old wishful thinking… and if money starts disappearing then fingers start pointing. Desperation is an ugly thing.

Friends don’t give friends investment opportunities.

There’s a discussion on servant leadership and Christ’s foot-washing scene on Dalrock’s that has gone so far awry that commenting is pointless. So…

The setting was the Last Supper. Christ’s betrayal and Crucifixion was imminent. He used his final opportunity to prepare His disciples for succeeding Him. That was when He did the foot-washing, a chore reserved for the shit-listed of the household in an age when people walked everywhere in sandals on dusty/muddy roads. Christ & disciples being guests, it would have been exceptionally bad manners to make them clean themselves. Hence Peter’s complaint of Christ’s doing it. Christ was too important to get dirty!

Christ got dirty. His explanation in John 13:14-16: “If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you. Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.”

He quickly emphasized the point in 13:34: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”

That was the purpose of the foot-washing and the sermon of the Last Supper. Those who would lead the Church in Christ’s absence were to be the servants of the Church, not its beneficiaries like the Levites and Pharisees.

Judas sold out to the devil on the spot. Apparently, he’d been on Team Jesus for the status and promise of fat pickings. The instant Christ said & demonstrated that he’d be doing the Church’s scut work was the instant the Pharisees’ counter-offer of 30 silver became the smart move.

The foot-washing scene had nothing to do with marriage. It’s out of context and inconsistent with plainly stated marital commands. It does have everything to do with… projection.

Modern clergy are modern Judases and here’s the proof: they do not love us, the Church’s Joes and Janes. Oh, they say all the right words and do all the right rituals… but they shun the non-academic, increasingly hard lives we must live. They aren’t concerned for the welfare of the falsely accused. They poison their own daughters to never trust a husband. And if little Timmy now has to use the girl’s bathroom at the local school, well, just enroll your kids in my parochial school. We have a special exemption!

Consequently, modern clergy project Christ’s principle of servant-leadership onto other men that Christ didn’t teach it to because they’re constantly aware of their own guilt.

Pharisees. Judases. On a good day, Levites. Christ found them all unfit and replaced all formal Church authority with “give a damn about your fellow man”. That is, after all, the reason Christ accepted Crucifixion.
