The “Moral Relativism” Error, In Play: Hinderaker, On Slavery.

I wasn’t going to mention it, but on Friday John again made the specious, but to his way of thinking, relativistic case that American slavery wasn’t… “that bad“. Uh-huh.

To do so, like all good white supremacy advocates, he points to how few (he claims) Africans were actually first deposited in what became the US, directly from Dakar, Senegal — one of the few sources of reliable records.

So… he willfully then ignores that the vast bulk of Caribbean slaves, or their offspring, were ultimately sold or shipped on, into the US, often decades after arrival in the Caribbean — from Africa.

He also ignores that the US was the last Western democracy to outlaw slavery. And that there were possibly millions born into bondage here — as an incentive to keep plantations operating… even into the virtual bondage of the 20th Century Jim Crow laws, and penal work gangs.

Indeed, it is likewise true that slaves from many other New World locations were sold into what became Louisiana — but the territory was then… in French hands. So he ignores it, in his tallies, as well.

In sum, this “defense” is willful, bad faith… lying.

Finally, he suggests that because slavery still exists in parts of the world, we Americans ought to be cut some slack — and public school teachers should stop teaching children (so much) about the harrowing slave trade’s affect on Americans who were not white males owning property. There is no logic to a “moral relativist’s view” here. None.

I disagree with John.

And the Southern Poverty Law Center is correct to label John’s site a white supremacy apologist “hate site”, in 2019.

Thus, his site’s ad revenue is down 75% from last year.

That’s your karma, baby. It has come callin’.

Out.

Area Man Decries “Ivy League Schools’ Privileges” — After Reaping A Life-Time’s Worth… Of Those Same Privileges.

Whopperline-Hinderaker-2019-Brain-Small On Sunday night, likely to avoid having to talk honestly — about Trump’s cashiering Secretary Spencer (for opposing Trump’s attempts to honor a sadistic, now court-martialed Navy Seal war criminal)…

Mr. Hinderaker tells us breathlessly, what it is he only now thinks is “wrong” with Ivy League schools.

P R E C I O U S.

After a nearly half century of taking full advantage of the largely unearned* privileges he was accorded — by attending Dartmouth and then Harvard… this jah-mook… whines that an Asian American student body president will support sanitary supplies in all restrooms, at Brown — regardless of the sign on the restroom door.

Oh. The. Humanities!

I guess John will have to melt down all his secret society rings. What a gawl-dang… tragedy!

He really is one… precious… hypocrite.


* By unearned I mean to refer to all the elites he rubbed elbows with, and doubtlessly received millions of dollars in legal fees over the years from — “club members” he would never have known, had he not been made a part of their various white boys’ “Masters of the Universe” clubs. Or some such.

Paul M. Cannot Escape LEGAL Conclusions…. In Ukrainian Parlance: ‘Трамп закручений.’

Whopper-Obama-NFW From Ukrainian then, that reads: “Трамп закручений” — or Trump is… SCREWED.

Paul today wrote this:

“…The fact that the [sic] Ukraine military suffered no harm from the hold on aid doesn’t mean that Trump acted properly. He didn’t, in my view. The military aid was conditioned (for a while) on investigating Joe Biden, his political adversary, not on a broad anti-corruption investigation….

Nonetheless, the fact that the Ukrainian military was not set back by the hold on aid supports a persuasive “no harm, no impeachable foul” defense….”

This was his attempt to soften the blow he struck last week. None of these relevant crime statutes are predicated on having to show an actual injury/harm. This is not a civil tort case. If the criminal law forbids it — and it does — then violating that law is… unsurprisingly… a crime.

Of course, Paul is only now answering a question… not asked. And not answering… the only relevant one:

Whopper-Paul-M-Ukraine-Truth Is it a… crime? Yes it is. It is well beyond merely “improper” — and Paul himself had said so, just last week.

Significantly, Kenneth Starr has now agreed on Tee Vee, live this afternoon,that Ambassador, and Million-Dollar Trump Donor Sondland’s OWN revised testimony now means there will be an impeachment trial — in the Senate.

The law — and now the facts — ones no one seriously contests, any longer… make it a foregone conclusion, according to Clinton Whitewater special prosecutor [GOP lawyer and GOP donor] Kenneth Starr.

Game. Set. Match.

And Paul was correct last week. It was a felony — or seven. Trump should resign now.

Or face jail, later.

Onward.

A “Solo Act”: Paul M. FINALLY Tells The Truth, At PowerLine…

Whopper-Paul-M-Ukraine-Truth Because of the stark contrast — black and white — from the usual fantasy / alternate reality pieces of all stripes… on essentially all topics, authored by John…

…in Paul’s tonight on the affair’d Ukraine… I must highlight it.

He has hinted before that he thinks Trump was intemperate in his Ukraine bribery / blackmail attempts.

Tonight he finally admits the obvious: Trump clearly committed crimes there.

Whopperline-Hinderaker-2019-Brain-Small So I will salute the realist, in Paul — even if he is arriving very late to this party.

Meanwhile… John labors onward, tilting vainly at windmills… imagining dragons, in the remarkably ordinary reality we all otherwise see.

No Mention By John — But Trump Was Just PERSONALLY Ordered To Pay $2 Million — For Abuse Of Charitable Funds…

Whopper-Obama-NFW John will never mention this story, but the now sitting President used over $2 million in charitable donations to benefit himself, and his political run for office. That course of conduct directly violated several state and federal laws, and about 40 IRS rules.

The Trump faux-charity was ordered shuttered, and all remaining money given to other NYC charities. But not a peep, from John.

The question, then: if Mr. Obama had been so ordered, by a federal judge, after abusing his charity’s checkbook — does anyone even remotely think there would be any chance that Hinderaker, Paul M., Steve Heyward and Scott Johnson would NOT be screaming to high heaven, for an immediate impeachment? Wouldn’t Hannity? Tucker Carlson? Laura Ingram?  Anne Colter? Sarah Sanders?

Whopperline-Malkin-Runs-Hinderakers-Small-Brain-2019 Michelle Malkin?

But crickets here — from all of them — about a proven $2 million presidential fraud, now.

Color me entirely… and, decidedly… unsurprised.

Hinderaker Complains Of A “Distributed Denial of Service’ Attack…

James-Tiny-Violins-2019 Last night, John complained bitterly… that it seemed someone or group of someones… was using a rather simple and primitive “brute force” temporary attack, to restrict access to the trio of authors’ blog website.

Such “distributed denial of service” attacks are now always only temporary, as any reputable internet security firm may solve it with a simple re-route, and cataloging of the offending IP addresses conducting the floodings. It takes but a moment to hop through the gateway, if you are not one of the attacking IP addresses. Thus it is more a symbolic stifling than a real one, post the year 2002.

whopperlie-hinderaker-2017 Even so, this is not the way to go. Personally, I believe more speech — usually liberally infused with ridicule — of his uniformly loony bin notions… is the right answer to that malevolent, often hateful speech.

More speech. So we will gladly oblige. There is no need for denials of service — even if that was also the source of the trouble with his ViP event, the night prior — intended to stream over YouTube.

Whopper-DDOS-Solution-Nov H I L A R I O U S.

So, let us eviscerate them in prose — not vainly try temporarily to stifle them with muzzles.

It is more fun to regularly out-think them, any event… and the victory is sweeter… more lasting. Just like Kentucky. And Virginia. Grin.

In The “Hinderaker Admits” Dept.: Normalizing Felonies… By Sitting Presidents…

Whopperline-Hinderaker-Script-Trump-2016 I’ll make short work of this, as the new GOP strategy to fighting impeachment is to admit Trump committed several felonies, but then say “it’s normal, since it was only a short time…” or [the alternative formulation] “a brief period” — of violating federal criminal law.

Uh-huh. Orwell had nothing on these morons. Here’s the salient bit of John’s overnight feverish rant:

“…The brief pause in providing arms to Ukraine (Ed. Note: which is a felony, BTW — since Congress commanded the aid be sent immediately)… and Trump’s entirely proper telephone conversation with President Zelensky are absurdly weak pretexts for the Democrats’ impeachment effort, and I doubt whether anyone takes them seriously….”

We shall see about that. I hear there are GOP Senators lining up to vote for convictions, when that moment arrives.

whopper-art2-300x250 We shall, indeed see. But normalizing felonies [by admitting them, in writing — then distracting…] is something the principled people in the old GOP would never have attempted.

Good luck — with your time “storming the castle”, John.

John Is Double-Posting, On A Rapper’s Religion — And A Priest’s Actions, At One Church… All While An Avowed Patriot Indicts Trump.

Whopperline-Trumpquility-Base-07-30-2019 Once again, Mr. Hinderaker has multi-posted on obscure religious developments, in one case of a has-been rapper/Kardashian spouse who has never run for any office, and then in the other, on a small time, small “c”  catholic priest, who chose to use his frock for politics — denying a national candidate… Catholic [cap “C”] communion. [Sure seems like… Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman — and his sworn testimony, about the sitting president — is a bigger story, John.]

This despite the fact that the candidate is always accorded Communion in his home Catholic parish. [Yes, it is clear that the priest in Florence, South Carolina was off the reservation, playing partisan politics, with his frock. For the record, Rome has taken no such position, and the local priest lacks authority to take that position so long as he is a Roman Catholic priest — without direct say so, from Rome. That’s Canon law.]

I’ve already given this story more than it is due. it is essentially… not news. One catholic priest [small c] disapproves of Joe Biden. Who cares? Does he approve of pussy grabbing? Or the MULTIPLE abortions Trump ordered and paid for, for his paramours? These are all matters of public record, courtesy Michael Cohen, his now jailed former personal lawyer. Pure partisan nonsense, this priest.

Whopperline-Islam-Slander-2019 And as to Kimye — that is no story at all. Who cares?

Meanwhile the entire Powerline site is… as silent as the tomb — about the latest decorated patriot confirming in sworn testimony, no less, that Trump was demanding a quid pro quo, from the Ukraine — against Biden, in order to release Congressional funding, to save civilian lives there. For those of you keeping score at home, that’s a felony by our sitting preznit. We could be forgiven for thinking John… cannot handle… the truth. [Ref. Jack Nicholson, in “A Few Good Men.”]

We’ve written before about John’s home church — see at left. Maybe it is time to interview his pastor.

Nah — that’s not… news, either.

Onward. John, now as ever with the empty head.

Let’s Break Out The Tiny Violins: Powerline Is Dying — Ad Revenue Is Off 75%. Karma, Baby.

James-Tiny-Violins-2019Well. I. Love. This: over the weekend, Powerline excoriated Mr. James in its meager, comically-anemic photo feature, about the NBA / China / Hong Kong flap.

And… as of yesterday afternoon, in an apparently unrelated development — John Hinderaker has had to put a tip jar on his site. To my knowledge [even in the early 2002-04-era days], that was never before… necessary.  The main trio made enough off of ads and VIP access events, even then — to justify the effort.

No longer.

“Powerlie” has correctly been labeled as a white supremacists’ site, by the Southern Poverty Law Center. And many larger companies — based on Facebook and Twitter campaigns against purveyors of racial hate, in particular… have decided to pull all ads from Hinderaker’s joint [and bigger outlets like Tucker Carlson’s and Sean Hannity’s].

Gosh, John… I guess I’d say that I am personally gratified that…  Karma is, in fact, a wheel.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer… guy. By his own admission, the site’s cash take is off 75 per cent, from just this time last year. Glorious.

“Okay, play us out” — and do break out the tiny violins, Mr. James. My work here, is [almost] done.

And… one and all: thanks for coming to my TedTalkTM…

John’s Gone… Full Tin-Foil Hat… Kuck-Coo!

Whopperline-Ukraine-Lies-2019 I don’t even know where to start — except to assume that Trump directly “ordered” Mr. Hinderaker to write and publish this lunacy, tonight. Just as he ordered Rick Perry to have Rudy run point on US policy in the Ukraine, despite being bereft of any security clearances, and despite his being Trump’s unpaid personal lawyer, who just also happened to be working for oligarchs, as an entirely UNREGISTERED foreign agent, under US law. [Yep — that’s the same felony statute that has Mr. Manafort doing what will amount to natural life, for him. That’s Rudy’s future.]

But I digress… this, tonight, is John’s nut-bird show.

Specifically, he wrote:

“…The full story of the plot by the FBI and the CIA, along with others in the Obama administration, to swing the 2016 election to Hillary Clinton and then, having failed at that, to disable President Trump’s administration, has not yet been told. And it may never be.…”

aa30a-barr-mugs He’s right. It won’t be told — because not a word of it is true. It is just the projection of these moronic would-be criminal syndicate members — to cover Manafort’s work FOR Trump, in the Ukraine — and elsewhere.

It will turn out that ex-Gen. Flynn’s lawyers will regret pushing this envelope — and that Flynn will now do something like 20 years, instead of a short three. That is so, because Mifsud’s cell phone almost certainly contains much MORE that will damn Manafort, and perhaps ex-Gen. Flynn, anew. and ex-Gen. Flynn’s plea deal is toast.

But John will never admit, a few years from now — that  he lied, and lied in preposterous fashion — just as Cohen did — for Donald Trump. Just as Mitchell did for Nixon — and just as Barr has, for Trump. They’ll all end up disbarred, like Mitchell. Except John, who — I understand — has already surrendered his law license.

He is a loony. And a lost soul.

Out.
