U.S. Kills Jihadi John; JV Team Strikes Back

Maybe it's about time King Putt supplied the Kurds with heavy weapons.

Barack Obama sends a subtle message to his subordinates to fuck off during a meeting by extending his middle finger.

You know where you can shove that finger, asshole.

UPDATE: A break in the case:

"Hillary just came on TV and said this was all due to a Julia Ormond movie released in 1995."

UPDATE (November 14 / 2015): King Putt brags he's contained ISIS. Did he reiterate that empty boast during his condolence call to François Hollande?

Barack Obama (November 12, 2015):'ISIS is contained.' November 13, 2015: ISIS carries out worst attack in Paris since World War II.

Good call there, Sparky.

UPDATE (November 16 / 2015): Senator Dianne Feinstein (D) calls President Obama out on his falsehoods:

"I have never been more concerned…I read the intelligence faithfully. ISIL is not contained, ISIL is expanding."

You mean Barack Obama's a liar? No, that's not true! That's impossible!

China Post: “What Taiwan’s Government Really Needs Is Less Transparency”

Taiwan’s China Post argues that the only point of democracy is to give people the illusion of having control over their own lives.

But all REAL decisions must be made in smoky backrooms by shadowy figures who are unelected and unaccountable.

A half-million Taiwanese protest against KMT-Communist Party of China trade and service pact negotiated by KMT President Ma Ying-jeou.

(Did 500,000 Taiwanese students protest in favor of MORE or LESS governmental transparency last year? Follow the link to find out!)

UPDATE (Oct 1 / 2015): What’s truly ironic is that the China Post continues to push a policy which is responsible for the KMT’s current abysmal showing in the polls.

It’s as if they’ve learned absolutely nothing this past year-and-a-half.

UPDATE (Oct 16 / 2015): The China Post bases its call for less governmental transparency upon Obama’s Iran deal, which it characterizes as “much-praised” and “presentable”.

If by “much-praised” the China Post means that 47% of the American public favor it while 49% disapprove, then yes, it is “much-praised”.

(But then, given those polling numbers, it would be more accurate to describe it as being “much-condemned”.)

And of course, 69% of Israelis condemn it as well…

UPDATE #3: Whoops! Barack Obama’s Iran deal violates U.S. federal laws.

So sorry. Didn’t you know laws are only for the little people?

UPDATE #4: Shazam! Iran tests ballistic missile in violation of UN sanctions.

Nice work, chump.

Variations On A SlutWalk In D-Minor

I don't even know what that means.

But it was so loopy, it had to be a post title…

Temple University ROTC slut-walk

Postscript: Ten years ago, I'd have dealt with the Temple University ROTC cadet hazing episode in a 6 screen essay. But the serious points I tried to make over the last week are:

  1. It's bad for military leaders to deliberately humiliate their subordinates.
  2. Those that do humiliate their subordinates expose them to public ridicule.
  3. Humiliation of subordinates results in a smaller pool of willing recruits.
  4. Superiors who become aware of hazing are responsible for setting things right, or they will be seen as tolerating the practice. (I'm looking at you, President Obama…)
  5. Humiliation of subordinates is provocative in that it causes America's enemies to lose respect for the U.S. military.

Required Supplies For First Semester Temple University ROTC Students

Temple University ROTC cadets forced to march in red high heels. Brigadier Peggy Combs and Major Michelle Bravo: 'Cadets will be supplied with standard-issue U.S. Army uniforms...but must supply their own high heels, feather boas, and assless chaps.'

UPDATE: Hmm. More men in U.S. military experienced "unwanted sexual contact" than women.

Does that mean Brigadier-General Peggy Combs and Major Michelle Bravo will be requiring cadets to attend mandatory "Walk a mile in HIS shoes" marches?

Nah. Doesn't fit with Teh Narrative™

Resolved: This House Will In No Circumstances Fight For Its King And Country

Temple University ROTC soldiers (cadets) forced to march in red heels. Picture of Barack Obama dressed as King Louis XIV, asking: saying: 'Say what?

Postscript: This is one of the last of the posts related to the Temple University ROTC hazing incident (and the last featuring Barack Obama).

It would be fair to object, "What does President Obama have to do with this case? He surely didn't give the order for this!"

And that would be true, but somewhat besides the point. Because as commander-in-chief, Mr. Obama's silence implies his consent. The real question is: Will President Obama hold the perpetrators accountable, subjecting them to either punishment, demotion or outright termination?

On that score, I have little confidence that he will. When a man kneels at the altar of political correctness and transforms a clear-cut case of religious terrorism into a mundane act of "workplace violence", then he cannot be trusted to do what's right in a case such as this.

Of course, I could be wrong. But if not, my only regret will be that my posts on the matter were not cruel and biting enough.

We Had To Destroy Consent In Order To Save It

Everything not forbidden is compulsory. An anonymous cadet at Temple University's ROTC program speaks:

“Attendance is mandatory and if we miss it we get a negative counseling and a ‘does not support the battalion sharp/EO [Sexual Harassment / Assault Response and Prevention / Equal-Opportunity] mission’ on our CDT OER [Cadet Officer Evaluation Report] for getting the branch we want. So I just spent $16 on a pair of high heels that I have to spray paint red later on only to throw them in the trash after about 300 of us embarrass the U.S. Army tomorrow.”

Temple University ROTC cadets forced to march in red high heels. Brigadier Peggy Combs and Major Michelle Bravo saying, 'If you want a picture of the future, imagine a red high heel stamping on a human face - forever.

Brochure For Temple University’s ROTC Program

We want you, we want you, we want you as a new recruit:

Temple University ROTC cadets forced to march in red high heels. Brigadier Peggy Combs and Major Michelle Bravo saying, 'In the Temple University ROTC program, cadets can expect to learn the time-honored arts of camouflage, marksmanship, and walking in high heels. Oh, and sucking cocks. Lots and lots of cocks.'

An enticing offer. Plenty of parents will be absolutely thrilled to send their sons to such a wholesome educational environment.

Postscript: I've been a staunch opponent of hazing since at least the age of twelve, and what's most pernicious about the Temple ROTC hazing case is that it was conducted in the service of an ostensibly good cause. Those who expressed doubts in participating in their own ritual self-abasement were informed by their superior officers that they were bad people whose careers would be ruined for their disobedience.

As for the "Walk A Mile In Her Shoes" campaign, the first I ever heard of it was last year, and I confess to having snickered a little at the sight of the male participants. But here's the thing: I would never make fun of men who VOLUNTARILY took part, because I recognize that they're doing no harm and their intentions are basically good (notwithstanding my personal reservations about the optics and effectiveness of their efforts).

However, when such a campaign becomes involuntary – a handy excuse for toxic leaders to humiliate their subordinates – well, that's when its time to draw the satirical knives.
