Columbia U's DEI head Alade McKen hit with plagiarism allegations

"Plagiarism saves time" --Stephen Hawking

"Another one bites the dust" [a song by John Deacon formerly of Queen--I don't want to get bagged for plagiarism] in the DEI elite university community. Yes, another scholar of sorts has been accused of plagiarism.

Alade McKen the chief DEI officer of Columbia University Irving Medical Center had been accused of doing the Wikipedia research for his PhD and did not cite sources, as reported by the Washington Free Beacon.

The Free Beacon published a bombshell report regarding the anonymous claims made against McKen in his 163-page dissertation, "UBUNTU I am because we are: A case study examining the experiences of an African-centered Rites of Passage program within a community-based organization." 

The allegations claim that about 20 percent of McKen's dissertation was lifted from Wikipedia and there are more than two pages nearly verbatim facsimile of the websites'  entry on ‘Afrocentric education,’ which is not cited anywhere in the dissertation," the Free Beacon wrote.

So first they came for Claudine Gay of Harvard and now they're coming for Alade McKen of Columbia. I wonder whether they should come for Jill Biden next.

Trans Miss Universe contestant thinks he doesn't need a vagina to be female

Okay gang, let's all go along with the delusions of people who really believe that they are not the gender the are assigned at birth, that their chromosomes are inconvenient false flags, and that just by thinking it, poof, they're the opposite sex, or whatever race they believe they belong to regardless of the race they actually belong to as Rachel Dolezal claimed.

Let's not provide these delusional people with help and reality--that would be cruel and insensitive.

Angela Ponce, a transgender male and Miss Universe contestant, said that "Having a vagina does not make me a woman," Ponce, who suffers from Gender Identity Disorder said.  "I am a woman and already was before my birth. Because my identity is here [points at his head], not down there. This determines my being a woman."

Which is purely delusional.

If Ponce thought he was an aardvark, "because my desire to eat ants and my belief that I'm an aardvark proves it, not my body," [sweeps his hand across his chest and lower extremities] does not make him an aardvark. It makes him mentally ill.

A man who thinks he a woman beating
the crap out of actual women in sport

Sadly, Ponce isn't getting the help he needs to understand that he's wrong about his biology, and that's really a societal problem. And when exactly before his birth was he a she?

Ponce represented Spain and made history as the first guy to compete in the Miss Universe contest, but alas, he lost to an actual "Miss."

He claimed that biology does not determine gender, but being that he isn't an actual biologist, and lacks understanding about the definition of gender, his claim holds as much validity as self-righteous indignation by James Comey.

Wikipedia describes sexual differentiation [i.e., gender] thus:


The human Y chromosome showing the SRY gene which codes for a protein regulating sexual differentiation.

Sexual differentiation in humans is the process of development of sex differences in humans. It is defined as the development of phenotypic structures consequent to the action of hormones produced following gonadal determination. Sexual differentiation includes development of different genitalia and the internal genital tracts, breasts, body hair, and plays a role in gender identification.

The development of sexual differences begins with the XY sex-determination system that is present in humans, and complex mechanisms are responsible for the development of the phenotypic differences between male and female humans from an undifferentiated zygote. Females have two X chromosomes, and males have a Y chromosome and an X chromosome. At an early stage in embryonic development, both sexes possess equivalent internal structures. These are the mesonephric ducts and paramesonephric ducts. The presence of the SRY geneon the Y chromosome causes the development of the testes in males, and the subsequent release of hormones which cause the paramesonephric ducts to regress. In females, the mesonephric ducts regress.

And so on.

Ponce won the 2018 Miss Universe Spain pageant, meaning that there are a lot of angry Spanish women who lost due to intersectional politics. He has undergone voluntary genital mutilation and hormone ingestion to make his crotch appear to be that of a female and go along with his delusional system, and still lost the contest.

If the beauty pageant thing doesn't work out for him, Ponce may go into woman's sporting events in order to win at something. Guys who claim to be women are doing it all the time lately.

Hello fellow conservatives. At this time of year when everyone has a hand out for a hand-out, I don't. I simply want you to follow Brain Flushings and check out the ads on this page. It's free, I'm free and you're free to follow me or not. I hope you do. 

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

Ronnie Reagan calls Trump 'deeply damaged'

President Reagan's son, Ron Reagan, a devout liberal and atheist, a former ballet dancer and failed talk show host, ripped into President Trump, calling him a "deeply damaged human being" adding that he must be removed from the White House. 

It appears that Ronnie wants Trump's removal not by the vote of the people, but by impeachment in the absence of high crimes and misdemeanors.

Reagan, now leftist radio host, told MSNBC that Trump is a disgrace to the office his father once held.

Host Chris "Tingles" Matthews went after Trump for what he said was self-aggrandizement and complimenting his own intelligence. While I thought that was kind of tacky and not an intelligent thing to do, it was very Trump-ish and not surprising.

Reagan said Trump showed incivility by inserting himself in the situation of the wife of the soldier killed in Niger. 

I think Ronnie's wrong. 

It's highly likely that Myeshia Johnson was never a Trump supporter and I suspect when Rep. Frederica Wilson sat in her car when Trump called to give Ms. Johnson his condolences, that Wilson helped convince her that Trump was being insensitive when he said 'He knew what he was getting into'.

There's no way Trump would have called to insult her. It makes no sense whatsoever, but I can hear Wilson under one of her stupid hats, "Say what? He's saying your husband knew what he was getting into? What nerve."

But Trump most likely meant, "Your husband knew what he was getting into and knew of the danger and he still went. That's what's known as true bravery."

Since when has Trump ever been given honest media coverage?

But back to the Yale dropout, Ron Reagan.

"The central problem is Donald Trump is a deeply damaged human being," Reagan said, calling him a "sociopathic malignant narcissist."

This is the new trend on the left--to have lay people publicly give mental health status diagnoses to people they don't like and generally haven't actually met. It's unfair and unless you're Donald Trump, it can be very stigmatizing.

How does Reagan justify calling Trump a 'sociopathic malignant narcissist'?

Sure, it's likely that U.S. presidents and other world leaders are narcissistic--you almost have to be in order to believe you can run a nation better than the next guy or gal. But malignant narcissism is something else.

"The Electoral College has sort of vomited this thing up and it landed in the Oval Office . . . [like a] big glob on the carpet," Reagan said rather unflatteringly about the President.

Reagan called Trump a "danger to the world" urging the use of the 25th Amendment to impeach him and remove him from office.

Actually, it's Article II, Section 4 that speaks to impeachment:

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

The Twenty-fifth Amendment deals with succession to the Presidency and establishes procedures for filling the vacancy of the Vice President as well as responding to Presidential disabilities, according to Wikipedia.

So the ballet dancing, radio show hosting, liberal atheist, Yale school dropout not only got the psychological stuff wrong, but the legal stuff as well. That isn't to say the 25th Amendment wouldn't be called into play if a President was removed from office, but it's Article II we'd be concerned with, not the 25th Amendment, which was adopted on February 10, 1967.

Reagan also went after Trump for what he considered to be a raunchy speech to the Boy Scouts in West Virginia, this year. He said Trump inappropriately referred to being "on a yacht with women" while making a speech to the organization.

This was Trump, not JFK, Bill Clinton or Harvey Weinstein, so he's fair game to leftist hypocrites--not to say that if Trump was being inappropriate he should be excused from blame because he's Trump. But when the left preaches morality, it's laughable.

"You can't control a president who is pathological in his behavior," the amateur shrink said.

Funny how people on the left, particularly those in the entertainment business, are coming out of the woodwork to try becoming relevant again. 

Sad!

British "man" is pregnant

Hayden at 12

Gender dysphoria used to be known as gender identity disorder, but the terminology has changed along with how it's defined in order to be politically correct and avoid insulting the mentally ill population and/or being sued by GLAAD and the like.

Anyway, the Wikipedia definition of gender dysphoria is defined by "strong, persistent feeling of identification with the opposite gender and discomfort with one's own assigned sex that results in significant distress or impairment. People with gender dysphoria desire to live as members of the opposite sex and often dress and use mannerisms associated with the other gender. For instance, a person identified as a boy may feel and act like a girl."

It goes on to say: "The disturbance can be so pervasive that the mental lives of some individuals resolve only around activities that lessen gender distress. They are often preoccupied with appearance, especially early in the transition to living in the opposite sex role. Relationship with parents also may be seriously impaired. Some males with gender dysphoria resort to self-treatment with hormones and may (very rarely) perform their own castration and penectomy. . . " [my italics].

In today's politically correct climate, however, if a man identifies as a woman, and vice-versa, we go along with it and agree that they must therefore be what they claim to be. This was even true in the case of Rachel Dolezal, a white woman who identified as a black woman and hid the truth from her NAACP employer.

Now a 20-year-old British "man" is 4-months pregnant after advertising and getting a sperm donor on Facebook, according to The Sun.

Hayden Cross is still in the "transition process" in which she will mutilate her body (having her breasts and ovaries cut away) to make it appear to be that she is a guy, but plans to have a baby before she is mutilated.

Of course, with all the PC BS, Hayden is legally a man and has begun hormone treatment. The rest of the task of going along with her delusion is being put on hold until after she gives birth.

Hayden, who is unemployed, has for the past 3 years pretended to be a guy, was desperate to have a baby--how very masculine of her. She asked the National Health Service (NHS) to freeze her eggs but they refused to carry out the process, so she worried that she would never have the chance to become a mother father to her own child.

So using her best judgment (to bring a baby into the world without a job nor spouse) Hayden went on Facebook to find a sperm donor. Perhaps she figured that if Charles Manson at the age of 80 at the time, could find a 20-year-old woman to marry him, anything is possible with the Internet.

She was right. A guy brought her his sperm and she used a local hospital's NHS maternity service, and now she's 16 weeks pregnant and plans to have the baby before completing the cosmetic changes to her body to make her think she's a man.

"I'll be a great dad," she said seriously.

She told The Sun on Sunday: "I faced the prospect of not becoming the man I am supposed to be, physically, or a dad. So I didn't feel like I had any choice but to have a baby now then get back to transitioning."

Rachel Dolezal before and after delusion

However, due to her mental illness of gender identity disorder, which has been changed for PC purposes, she admits that she feels uncomfortable carrying a child and struggles with the physical changes.

"I found I was pregnant two weeks after the sperm was inserted. It was mixed emotions. I was happy but I also knew it would be backtracking on my transition. It's like I have given myself one thing, but taken away something else from myself in the meantime."

And the dialogue goes on, never mentioning about the baby, how it might be affected by the fact that Hayden is unemployed and will be on the government dole with a young mother who thinks she's a father.

But at least we're all being politically correct about this whole sordid mess.

Islam's Useful Idiots on the Left

In a recent twitter conversation, I had the occasion to discuss the nature of Islam with a liberal-progressive-useful idiot. Now you may think it is unfair of me to accuse someone who cannot defend himself on this forum of being a useful idiot but allow me to defend my claim.

What is a useful idiot?

According to Wikipedia "useful idiot is a term for people perceived as propagandists for a cause whose goals they are not fully aware of, and who are used cynically by the leaders of the cause." It goes on to say that this phrase was often attributed to Vladimir Lenin in 1987, but there has been no published works that identify it as being accurately his creation as a term. To see the entire article go to here.

American Thinker discusses how the phrase "useful idiot" was coined by leaders of the Soviet Union to describe how people in the West naively promoted the cause of Communism while they were themselves held in contempt and cynically used by the Soviet elite. Thus, the term "more than ever applies to a vast swath of citizens in the United States who have been cynically used by the hardcore left for a cause they are unwilling to understand."

The useful idiot phrase has grown in stature and now it is often applied to those on the left who promote Islam or use moral equivalency to defend it. That is precisely what this twit did in our discussion.

I tweeted a poster about Islam's so-called prophet, Muhammad stating that he was a genocidal murderer, rapist, slaver, thief, torturer, necrophiliac, and filthy pedophile.

The liberal on the other end of my tweet said that was "disgusting" of me to say this. On the positive side, I felt quite satisfied that I was able to create a physical reaction in this useful idiot to the point where he probably vomited all over his Festivus pole, but I also knew that there was no way I would be able to show him the error in his thinking. That is, he was convinced that Islam is a "religion of peace," as he literally said, and I would not in 140 characters convince him otherwise. 

But that is what blogs are for. So let's take a good look at Muhammad. I will refer to him as "Mo" from herein.

When Mo was a child, his mother was abandoned by her hubby and she couldn't handle the lad, thus he was raised by an uncle who was eventually rebuked by Mo because he refused to become a Muslim. 

When he started out on the Islamic trail, his fighting forces were weak, thus the Koran was more accepting of other religions. This was the Meccan era, and the suras (chapters) of the Koran were comparatively peaceful. Later, when he went to Medina and had over 10 thousand terrorists on his side, the Koran suddenly became more violent and intolerant of other religions.

Since Mo was illiterate, he had a scribe do all the actual writing of the Koran. This scribe at times would realize that some of what was said in the book conflicted with other passages that Mo had him write. When this was pointed out to Mo, he had the scribe make the appropriate changes so the book would hang together. But as time went on, the scribe realized that the Koran wasn't the work of a god named Allah, it was all coming from Mo.

So Mo had him killed. That alone made him a murderer, but this was one in many thousands of murders Mo was directly responsible for.

Islam also allows for the practice of necrophilia as seen in at least 6 classic reference texts, including Kanz al-'Umal by Mutaki al-Hindi and Al-Hujja fi Biyan al Mahujja, an authoritative text on Sunni Doctrine, by Abu Qassim al-Asbahani.

According to this Hadith, Muhammad took off his shirt and placed it on a dead woman and laid with her in her grave. The rest is history.

When Mo was 52, he married Aisha. She was all of 6 years old and still playing with dolls. Her father did not want Mo to have sex with her at such a young age so Mo waited until she grew a little more--she was 9 when he raped her. This is where some people had the idea that Mo was a pedophile--I concur.

There are many suras that speak about slaves. In fact, Muslims are allowed to have sex with all of their wives (they could have as many as 4, but Mo could have as many as he wanted) and could also have sex with "what your left hand possesses," which happen to be slaves. In fact, slavery still exists today in Muslim countries but useful idiots don't want to discuss it, or have no clue it exists.

Insofar as Mo and his merry band of terrorists are concerned, they robbed caravans like it was a sporting event, killed the men and pubescent boys, and made the women sex slaves (ISIS is doing that today). The booty from these raids was divided among the terrorists but Mo always got the biggest cut. Mo in his infinite hatred of the Jews, beheaded anywhere between 600 to 900 Jews from the Qurayza tribe because he wasn't the type of murderer who took male prisoners.

The truth is, if Mo were alive today, he would not only approve of the Islamic State, aka ISIS and ISIL, he would have been the ringleader.

Useful idiots on the left like to think that there is a moral equivalence between Islam and Christianity. The truth is, while there has been violence in Christianity, there is nothing in the preaching of Christ to suggest that this is part of the religion. But with Islam, it's in the book. Islam was born from war and it is prescribed as a means of spreading itself throughout the world in a caliphate where the only god is Allah and Muhammad is his prophet.

Even the cry "Allahu akbar" is misunderstood by useful idiots. It doesn't mean 'God is great,' it means 'Allah is greater.'

And if you believe that, you're part of the problem.
