MeToo Has Devolved Into A Witch Hunt

TFP , ,

As with most movements that start out as well-meaning, the anti-harassment “MeToo” movement has become an out-of-control monster. There is no presumption of innocence for the accused, the interpretation of harassment is in the eye of the beholder, and some accusations have already been debunked. Assault is one thing, harassment another. The latter should not be criminalized and weaponized. The problem is that this is destroying trust between men and women and amongst society in general. The irony is that at least one high-profile woman has been caught up in it….oops! Didn’t see that coming.

The constant attack on “toxic masculinity” is coming from the radical feminist movement. They hate men, except for the emasculated ones, and want to be on top of the power pyramid.

American Left-Wing Media Is A Dumpster Fire

TFP

Left-wing (call it mainstream if you want) media had one of its worst weeks ever recently. Continuously getting big stories wrong, publishing poorly sourced stories and not vetting sources is not a good look. The leftwing media is Hell-bent on destroying Trump and if not successful, appears poised to drive the car right off a cliff. I have seen several formerly respectable media people try to argue that this is their “finest hour” since they are trying to shed light on real or perceived violations by the Trump administration. The funny thing is, I do not recalling them showing such gusto in going after the horribly corrupt Obama presidency, one that even leftists called perhaps the least transparent in history.

Shrill Democrats Call Tax Bill “Worst In History”

TFP ,

Sensational, outrageous, hyper-ventilating, silly, stupid and childish – these are all adjectives describing Democrats in lieu of the recent tax-bill passage. Here is a compilation of some of the truly worst bills in American history. Too bad idiots like Nancy Pelosi are history-challenged.

NYT Goes Full Commie

TFP , , ,

Make no mistake, though this is an opinion piece, it would not appear in the NYT without the editorial staff’s full approval. A dopey fellow at Arizona State is so convinced that the planet is facing imminent demise from capitalism that the only thing able to save it is “environmental socialism”. What he really means is a “green dictatorship”. Somehow this a-hole missed the part about communist and socialist nations being among the biggest historical polluters. Or perhaps he missed the gulags, starvation and mass-murder, but that is really what leftists want. Fewer people, themselves in charge, and the power over who lives and who dies.

This is a bunch of disgusting pseudo-academic garbage. Equally depressing is the seals in the comment section dutifully clapping to this clown’s “brilliance”. I did not realize NYT readers were THAT stupid. Why does the NYT even have a business section any more?

Despite The Left’s Best Efforts, Communism Is Still Terrible

TFP ,

With Communism, oppression, poverty, starvation and murder are features, not bugs. The American left is either too obtuse or too dishonest to own up to this.
