Barbara Walters needs to get out more

And maybe meet some new people while she’s at it.

Barbara Walters declared Bruce Caitlyn Jenner the “most fascinating person of 2015” in an ABC TV special on Thursday night.

“Through her own transition, Caitlyn Jenner transformed society this year,” Walters added at the end of the special. “And that, for us, makes her the most fascinating person of 2015.”

Not really, Babs, but one supposes when you live in a celebritard bubble it might seem that way.

PS: not to get all catty or anything, but according to TVLine, Barbara’s special was roughly 1/3 as fascinating as an episode of The Big Bang Theory, which is to say, “not very.” And she’s down 29% from last year’s “most fascinating” special.

Oops.

Hillary: Trump is ISIL’s Best Recruiter

… But fails to mention that she ran the operation to supply them with weapons.

Hillary Clinton accused Donald Trump of becoming Isil’s “best recruiter” during Saturday’s Democratic presidential debate in a fierce condemnation of the Republican front-runner’s call to ban all Muslims from entering the US.

“They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists,” she said. “So I want to explain why this is not in America’s interest to react with this kind of fear and respond to this sort of bigotry.”

SJWs seriously don’t get satire

bill_leak_aid_a_la_mode

The latest SJW kerfuffle in Australia relates to the above cartoon by Bill Leak, which they say depicts poor Indians as being too stuppid to know solar panels can’t be eaten, as opposed to, say, rich Westerners being too stupid to realize poor countries have more pressing concerns than renewable energy.

Theodore Dalrymple gives his take over at Taki’s Magazine:

The reaction to the cartoon, however, was indicative of what one might call the will to outrage. This will precedes any object to which it might attach, and many people wait as if in ambush for something to feel angry about, pouncing on it with leopard-like joy (the leopard, so I was told in Africa, is particularly dangerous, for it kills for pleasure and not only for food).

Dear Dump Trump petitioners: pay up or shut up

As you probably all know by now, billionaire presidential hopeful Donald Trump has made some suggestions about temporarily banning Muslims from entering the USA until the latest spate of Islamic terror killings dies down, placing his ideas squarely in the realm of such beloved American hero presidents as Franklin Delano Roosevelt (who issued an executive order suspending naturalization proceedings for all German, Japanese, and Italian settlers in the US during World War II) and Jimmy Carter (who banned Iranians in 1979 during the hostage crisis).

Or, if you prefer to get your news from the likes of Cracked, Salon, and your idiot friends on Facebook, German antichrists like Hitler.

Either way, as there is a completely-unrelated-to-the-US-presidential-race Trump Tower under construction here in Vancouver, Trump’s remarks gave a pretext for Vancouverites to take part in their most favorite of hobbies: taking things out of context, declaring differing political opinions as racist, and doing meaningless things to demonstrate their own righteous opposition.

Haven Monahan must be heartbroken

University of Virginia rape-hoaxer Jackie Coakley, whose fanciful and false tale of being gang raped by frat boys was exactly the sort of outlandish fiction Rolling Stone writer Sabrina Erdely was hoping for, has apparently found herself a sucker the love of her life the only male in North America who hasn’t heard of this Google contraption.

GotNews.com recently reported the happy couple tied the knot in a beach wedding, with pictures posted on Coakley’s father’s Facebook profile.

Well, to Ms. Coakley’s new Mr., we say, “Good luck sir. And get everything in writing with third party verification.”

No word on whether Coakley sent herself a congratulatory email from her phantom ex “Haven Monahan.”

Light sabres and Lubriderm

Star Wars fans aren’t just busy getting into the new Star Wars movie proper, but also a ton of Star Wars-inspired porno:

Porn retailer GameLink said sales of “Star Wars XXX” — a 2012 parody flick that features the classic characters making Wookiee — have surged 500% in the last two weeks.

That’s a whole lot of fans getting a good grip on their “light sabres.”

Your libido is an evil bigot

Commenting on yet another case of campus SJWs run mad, in which a college junior made the mistake of expressing his disinterest in black girls and was subsequently suspended for six months, Walter Hudson nails their end game:

In a real sense, relationships are a privilege. In a world where relationships are consensual, they are a privilege sustained by mutual consent. I retain certain privileges with my spouse, my children, my friends and co-workers, the members of my congregation, and anyone else willing to associate with me.

If we’re going to bemoan such privilege as somehow unfair to those we choose not to associate with, the only practical remedy is removing consent from relationships.

And this is the point where things get interesting, as one group of campus radicals insists on such things as Yes Means Yes consent rules where you pretty much have to ask permission not only for sex but every step along the way (can I kiss your neck? can I touch your right boob? what about the left one? can I kiss your neck again? etc.) while another group wants to eliminate consent, or at least make it so you can’t not consent to their sexual advances even if they can refuse yours.

Some nutjobs even call it “reverse rape” as in this piece from Thought Catalog that we hope is satire:

That’s as much a Patriarchal power move as rape—in fact, it is rape. Denying a woman sexual fulfillment is rape. He didn’t force me to have sex with him, but he forced me not to have sex with him when I really wanted to—this is obviously just as bad.

…except we’ve seen screencaps from Tumblr expressing the same sentiments that sure didn’t seem to be kidding.

Consent for me but not for thee. The battle of the activists is starting to get entertaining, better make some popcorn.
