They've got the dirtbag in Charleston

Apparently an actual racist and wearing a South African and a Rhodesian flag on his jacket when caught; the SPLC must be creaming its pants and trying desperately to find a tea party connection of some kind.  Any kind.


Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand seems to think that that 'due process' thing is far too troublesome, and wants to get it out of the way while lying about it.  Disgusting bastard.
Gillibrand's bill does not specifically lay out what rights accusers (the bill calls them "victims" throughout, except for once, illustrating a clear bias) and the accused have. It states only that schools must provide each student with written notice of the process to provide them "with the opportunity to meaningfully exercise the due process rights afforded to them under institutional policy."
...
The deck is stacked against the accused student even before the hearing. Once a sexual assault accusation is made, the accuser has the entire Title IX office behind him or her. Gillibrand's bill requires training for each individual who implements the policies and those who are responsible "for resolving complaints." That training is to be "victim-centered," meaning whoever is conducting the investigation may be predisposed to assume the accused is guilty. The training includes how to question "persons subjected to sexual violence," "information on consent and the effect that drugs or alcohol may have on an individual's ability to consent" and "the effects of trauma, including neurobiology of trauma."


Yeah, we can trust Clinton.  And the State Department.  Yeah.

The Washington Examiner obtained a dozen drafts of the report that revealed officials under Harold Geisel, the temporary inspector general during Clinton's four-year tenure, let sections be edited out in late 2012.

The deleted information gave details of several investigations stymied by high-level staff in the Bureau of Diplomatic Security.

A draft dated Nov. 16, 2012 contained several passages that explained the extent of interference in investigations from staff in Clinton's office.



"Sources reported that a senior '7th Floor' Department official ordered [diplomatic security] to stop the investigation of an ambassador accused of pedophilia, and another such senior official had [diplomatic security] stop an investigation of an ambassador-designate," the report said.

The seventh floor is often used as a reference to the secretary's office, as it is physically located on that level of the State Department building.



That stuff from Earnest the other day, "Our aid is helping the Kurds win, our plans are working" ?  Yeah, not so much.
The Kurds are enjoying increasing success against ISIS, and not only are they doing it without the U.S. weapons they seek, they often find themselves going up against American-made equipment.
...
U.S. military aid is distributed through Baghdad, which has an arm’s length relationship with the semi-autonomous Kurds in the north. Without direct aid, the Kurds have largely made do with aging equipment and weapons they seize from ISIS.


Mentioned this before: time to write/call the congresscritters to push this bill; looks like a good one.
The bill would, according to NRA:
  • eliminate ATF’s authority to reclassify popular rifle ammunition as “armor piercing ammunition;
  • provide for the lawful importation of any non-National Firearms Act firearm or ammunition that may otherwise be lawfully possessed and sold within the United States;
  • protect shotguns, shotgun shells, and larger caliber rifles from arbitrary classification as “destructive devices” which under federal law subjects them to onerous registration and taxation provisions and creates a ban on possession of the firearm in some states;
  • broaden the temporary interstate transfer provision to allow temporary transfers for all lawful purposes rather than just for “sporting purposes.”

One tip: Just before you hit "Publish", go down to the bottom of the post and delete all those extra empty lines that inadvertently get in during editing. That big white space makes the page look weird.

And a comment: Male students are increasingly abandoning college over just such sexist bullshit. The entire "rape culture" narrative is based on a series of lies and are being perpetuated by leftists for their own reasons.

Yeah, missed those.

Be an interesting side-effect if this crap at universities caused more men to go toward the skilled trades. Starve the universities of all that money, get more into jobs that actually exist and need hands, and Deity knows what screaming it would start when the nutcase feminists realize there aren't enough men in college to keep blaming things on.
