Dem Senate candidate with Nazi tattoo called Jesus a "zombie" and Virgin Mary a "skank"

Graham Platner, the anti-Semitic Democratic Senate candidate from Maine who's now famous for covering up his Nazi tattoo, once described himself as so "crudely atheist" that he derided Jesus Christ as a "zombie" and the Virgin Mary as "a skank" in a newly uncovered Reddit post. He can go to hell for saying such things.

Facts are facts. In the post, Platner was responding to a 2008 lawsuit claiming a soldier was denied a promotion for not embracing "fundamentalist Christianity." Platner fired back with, "What units is this shit in?" and then bragged, "I've spent 8 years in the infantry . . .  I've been about as crudely atheist as one can be the entire time." 

He went on to cite "zombie Jesus jokes and Mary sucking at covering up being a skank" as the height of the humor he enjoyed during his military service.

The post is still live, though it no longer displays its execrable author. An archived version reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon confirms it belongs to a now-deleted account tied directly to Platner. Greg Price, a conservative commentator was the first to highlight it.

Let's not sugarcoat this: Christians make up a majority of the population in Maine, according to Pew Research. Yet here we have a Democratic candidate who thought it was clever to mock the central figure of Christianity as a "zombie" and His mother as "a skank."

And this isn't an isolated incident. Platner's campaign has been absolutely torpedoed by a parade of repulsive Reddit posts: blaming rape victims for their own assaults, calling military officers "gay," labeling other users "fags," spewing anti-white and anti-police rhetoric, wondering out loud why Black people "don't tip," and even claiming that accusing him of watching CNN was worse than calling him a "retard."

If this cretin somehow wins the election, it will be an indication of a political party that has become decadent. 

Then, of course, there was the October bombshell: video evidence of a Nazi Totenkopf tattoo on his chest, which he got in Croatia back in 2007 while he was in the Marine Corps. As a former Marine, I find this disgusting and not in any way representative of the Corps.

Platner has since covered it up, but the damage was done. Multiple staffers have already quit the campaign amid the fallout from the Reddit posts and the tattoo revelation.The Platner campaign, shockingly, did not respond to a request for comment. Color me unsurprised.

New York professor who threatened reporter with a machete fired after anti-Semitic rants

Shellyne Rodriguez, a professor at Cooper Union in Manhattan,  was caught holding a machete to the neck of a reporter last year. The video made it to the mainstream media as Rodriguez appeared to act in a crazy violent way.

She has reportedly been fired from her latest teaching gig due to her anti-Semitic views.

But this isn't Rodriguez's first canning. Last year when she worked at Hunter College, in New York City, she had been terminated for similar craziness.

"Cooper Union has fired me because of a social media post I made about ‘Zionists’… effective immediately," Rodriguez, 47, wrote in a Jan. 23 email to students, according to the New York Post. Cooper Union Students for Justice in Palestine shared the email on Instagram the next day.

"This is fascism. Ya’ll are learning about it in real time," Rodriguez wrote. "Stay strong, [stay] brave, stay defiant, don’t bite your tongue, and drink plenty of water! Pa-lante!"

She obviously thought that the October 7 massacre was okay to do to those, you know, Jews.

"This firing represents an intense escalation of McCarthyist repression meant to intimidate and punish those in support of a Free Palestine, and must be resisted to prevent its further normalization and the ongoing genocide in Gaza," the student group wrote, calling on followers to email the art school dean.

No actually the firing represents decent people unwilling to accept their college age kids being taught to hate any group of people simply for their inherent characteristics. Dolt.

According to the Post, the college spokesperson declined to speak as a spokesperson, but the outlet noted Rodriguez is no longer listed on the Cooper Union faculty page.

The reasoning for her latest termination was not immediately clear but came after Rodriguez participated earlier last month in a CUNY for Palestine virtual panel in which she spoke about the possibility of a Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement rent strike in New York involving not making rent payments to Jewish landlords or landlords who support Israel, which is disgusting and illegal.

Her remarks were widely condemned online as antisemitic. They included the so called professor explaining, "the idea that we could be a Trojan horse, that we are inside empire, and you’re here to upend it." Regarding others who support Israel and condemn terrorism, she went "Maxine Waters and told those on the panel, "You probably wait tables where they go to brunch. Find them, go to their offices, don’t let them sleep." 

According to the Post, the anti-Semite Rodriguez also blasted former Bronx Borough President Rubén Díaz Jr. as a "roach" and "Zionist lapdog" on her Instagram account.

"Jewish students at Cooper Union are very relieved that they fired her," Jeffrey Lax, a CUNY law professor and co-founder of Students and Faculty for Equality at CUNY, which advocates for Jewish students on campus, told the Post. "Her comments were really despicable."

"Normally, I would say I commend the university for taking action against this professor but in this case, how can I possibly say that she did something far worse before they hired her? I mean, she held a knife to a reporter’s neck," Lax told the outlet. "They’re not to be commended, they should be ashamed of themselves."

Her termination from Cooper Union also comes months after pro-Palestinian protesters at the school banged on the windows of the school library while Jewish students had locked themselves inside.

The hateful professor also notably organized "f*** police" demonstrations in 2020 after the death of the thug George Floyd in Minneapolis. 

Rodrigues actually should be in jail and then be required to be in intense psychotherapy. A year in Israel might also clear her thinking.

AZ Dem: "If you marry a White guy, you ain't Latina"

Gallego's mask is as useless as his Party's "solutions"

Racist Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) attacked Tanya Contreras Wheeless, an Hispanic woman [which he cannot define] running for Congress in Arizona's fourth district as a Republican, of not being a real Latina because she took her [White] husband's last name. 

Gallego, who has not hyphenated his own wife's last name, Widland, is suggesting that Wheeless deliberately "hid" her Hispanic identity [perhaps to keep Hispanic people from voting for her], but it looks more like he is a sexist than she is an ashamed Latina.

Gallego said that "If you were Latino in Arizona around 2010 people were telling us to go back to Mexico," he said, "you would hear I am not voting for a ‘spic.’"

"Tanya is Latina," Gallego tweeted, "cuando le conviene," meaning, "when it suits her."

Seriously, that's a rather disgusting thing to say, even for a Democrat. Well, no, not so much for a Democrat, but for this guy it is. But let's remember that the Democratic Party is the party of identity politics because they aren't very good at anything else. 

Gallego was married to a Jewish woman who he divorced in 2017. She kept his last name, but he never used nor kept hers.

Wheeless hit back at Gallego in a statement explaining that "many women change their name when they get married, but that doesn’t change who they are or where they came from." She called his statement "sexist and racist"

In spite of the fact that Gallego is a former Marine [as I am] his attack on Wheeless is weak and a distraction from the level of failure the Democratic Party has shown after Trump left office. If she is somehow ashamed of her Hispanic heritage [but really doesn't hide it when hyphenating her name] why is he now using it as a personal flag to get the Hispanic vote?

After Republican Mayra Flores's upset win this year in Texas' 34th Congressional District, Democrats are "doing a Biden" in their pants over the midterm elections and the 2024 presidential election.

This may be a huge turning point for the GOP, but if they do take over the House and Senate, they better do something with it.

Black supremacist Jemele Hill calls for black athletes to leave 'white' colleges

Black supremacist Jemele Hill, who in the past made salacious tweets that President Trump is a white supremacist, is now calling for black athletes to leave "white" colleges [she doesn't define the term] because she believes that the schools make all the money and the athletes are not compensated for their play in sports.

Hill evidently doesn't see the value of a college scholarship or the public exposure an athlete gets for his performance, which often translates into a lucrative sports contract at best, and an education at the very least. But when everything you see is in terms of a person's melanin, you often miss those nuances, 

The former ESPN writer who was suspended for calling President Trump a white supremacist without evidence [beyond some dumb things he has said], is calling for black athletes to leave those 'white' colleges. She is now a staff writer for The Atlantic, a leftist magazine that fired conservative Kevin Williamson for being Kevin Williamson after giving his opinions about abortion.

Hill's first article for the magazine, titled, "It's Time for Black Athletes to Leave White Colleges," has drawn a range of responses -- including assertions that Hill is "pro-segregation" or "racist," and that she isn't the one to decide where an athlete should go to school.

Hill argues that black athletes help bring in money and attention to the "predominantly white universities that showcase them," while Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) continue to struggle.

She writes that mostly white schools’ [aka schools whose students are mostly lower on the melanin scale than HBCUs] multibillion-dollar revenues have been built on the “exertions of (uncompensated) black athletes," claiming that an elite black athlete attending an HBCU raises awareness of the institution, whose endowments combined are less than a tenth of Harvard’s.

The racist Hill writes that HBCUs have graduated a significant number of black professionals, a thriving HBCU lifts up the community around it and finally, that some black students “feel safer, both physically and emotionally," at an HBCU – “all the more so as racial tensions have risen in recent years,” a claim that needs actual data to prove.

“Navigating a predominantly white campus as a black student can feel isolating, even for athletes,” she adds, again with nothing to substantiate her claim.

"The flight of black athletes to majority-white colleges has been devastating to HBCUs," she writes, positing, "What if a group of elite athletes collectively made the choice to attend HBCUs?" What if it isn't a "flight" at all, but merely a choice? Usually a flight is a journey from somewhere to somewhere, but it isn't as if black students are fleeing from predominantly black institutions to go to white institutions--but if they were, that would be their freedom to do so.

Hill, like most liberals, doesn't practice what she preaches--she attended Michigan State University [Go Spartans!] which is not an HBCU but merely a U. She left ESPN last year after incessantly attacking President Trump and making ESPN something other than a sports network. She tweeted that President Trump is a "white supremacist" and a "bigot" who was "unqualified and unfit to be president."

But ESPN did nothing initially to punish her for the tweet but then suspended her for two weeks in October 2017, after she violated the company’s social media guidelines again. She called upon fans to boycott the Dallas Cowboys' advertisers after owner Jerry Jones demanded his players respect the American flag and national anthem and not take a knee during its playing or they would be benched.

That was a real empty-headed move, to boycott your own family's money providers.

NY Times stands with Sarah Jeong after racist tweets surface

The New York Times is standing with its decision to hire tech writer Sarah Jeong despite a Twitter history of derogatory tweets aimed at gays, blacks, lesbians and transgender people.

Oh, wait. I got it wrong--it was aimed at white people, particularly old white men, but not limited to age.

"Oh man it's kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men," Jeong wrote in July 2014. That was merely one of many messages that have gone viral.

On Wednesday social media went ballistic with images of racist tweets sent from an unverified account appearing to belong to Jeong, soon after the Gray Lady announced she was joining the rag.

The Times issued a statement Thursday saying they reviewed her social media history and since finding nothing negative about women, people of color or the LGBTQ community or any other intersectional group of privilege, [Mexicans, little people, Muslims or illegal immigrants] they were going ahead with the hiring.

"We hired Sarah Jeong because of the exceptional work she has done . . . her journalism and the fact that she is a young Asian woman have made her a subject of frequent online harassment. For a period of time she responded to that harassment by imitating the rhetoric of her harassers," the Times unashamedly said in a statement. "She regrets it, and the Times does not condone it.

So let me get this straight . . . if, say, a guy named Solomon Bernstein tweets: "South Korean hack, Sarah Jeong, writes like crap," she would have responded, "Oh boy, how I love to piss off the Jews" and the Times would be okay hiring her because she was responding in kind?

And how did she know on Twitter that her harassers were "old, white men"? That makes no sense unless she can come up with tweets where they reveal their ages, and melanin levels.

But not all of Jeong's "exceptional" work was about police and old white men--she wasn't too happy with all men in general and white women weren't her cup of tea.

The Times can say whatever they want and hire whomever they want, but let's not pretend they would have hired her if she made racist remarks about the acceptable groups the left holds dear.

Jeong tweeted in 2016 that  "dumbass f***ing white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants." She also called "old white men" "lemmings" and said that white people will "go extinct soon" using the hashtag "CancelWhitePeople.

So please don't try passing that crap off as 'imitating the rhetoric' of the harassment she experienced.

"Are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically being only fit to live underground like groveling goblins, she wrote in 2014. She also added a graph claiming that "whiteness" results in being "awful."

Hard to believe that generalizing to her harassers by globalizing all white people in such racist terms, makes it impossible to believe that she was merely responding to the harassing rhetoric she received.

Oh, and wouldn't it be nice to actually see the 'harassment' she has faced as a dumbass so-called journalist?

Democrats: 'We are now a race, not merely a party'

Randy Toad, Arkansas -- The leaders of the Democratic Party met in secret  last Wednesday, according to my secret source, Vinny Boombots. 

What they discussed was a new, and yet not so new strategy for the party's platform in the future.

Being a Democrat will now be considered a race.

Democrats will no longer have to pull the proverbial "race card" whenever they are challenged by conservatives. They will self-identify as a race and anything said against them will be interpreted as racist.

They invented a new term as well: Demophobic.

As part of the brilliant plan, they will use teenagers to push the party line on such issues as gun control, school taxes, foreign policy, nuclear proliferation, crime control, Russian election meddling,  the Trump impeachment,  and lowering the voting age without proof of identity or citizenship to 16.

"We need to listen to our kids," Minority Senate Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said. "These kids are our future and we better hear what they have to say."

Schumer was challenged by Ted Cruz (R-TX) who responded: "Just because the kids you've been using to push your agenda are survivors of a school shooting, that doesn't make them experts in government affairs, or even gun control."

To which Schumer replied: "Racist."

Al Shaptongue's daughter arrested for attacking cabbie

Happy Birthday Ashley 
Photo: NY Daily News

Fake Rev. Al Sharpton's daughter just celebrated her birthday by getting a sparkling new bracelet. Unfortunately, the bracelet was a set of handcuffs given to her by the NYPD for allegedly attacking a New York City cab driver.

Ashley Sharpton, 30, allegedly shoved and punched a cab driver after she grabbed his keys in midtown Manhattan just before 1 a.m. police reported.

Ashley Sharpton was in a yellow cab with three of her friends near W. 48th Street and Ninth Avenue. Each of the passengers gave the cabbie, Georges Coly, 44, a different destination, which confused and annoyed him. He stopped the car and refused to move until the group could figure out where they wanted to go.

Big Ashley was sitting in the front seat and grabbed the keys from the ignition, according to police. She then jumped out of the car and threw the keys (which Coly didn't see).

When Coly approached the lovely lass, demanding his keys be returned, she began shoving him, he told police.

She ran off but cops caught her two hours later on W. 46th Street and took her into custody. They gave her a desk appearance ticket and sent her home. Due to the fact the cabbie wasn't injured, she wasn't charged with assault.

"She told me it didn't happen the way they said it happened but I can't speak for a 30-year-old woman," the lying race-baiting preacher told the New York Daily News. 

Later, during his weekly National Action Network (NAN) rally at the group's Harlem headquarters, the racist preacher claimed his daughter was targeted because she's his daughter, although he has absolutely no evidence to support that, and he wasn't present when she was arrested. So not only does Sharptongue pull the race card when it suits him, now he pulls the anti-cop card.

"All I know is that you got four people in a cab, and there's some altercation, and they find out two hours later one of them is Al Sharpton's daughter, she's the one that's going to the precinct," the uncivil fake civil rights preacher told the crowd of cop-haters.

"If you're my child or you're related to me, you're guilty until proven innocent. But we'll fight that out in court," he said narcissistically. 

This is perfect for big Al. He gets to get back into the spotlight on a trivial matter. It's no  Tawana Brawley case, but hey, he just might make a few bucks out of it.

Sweet Ashley Sharpton turned 30 on Friday so now her age and her father's IQ have something in common.

"Happy birthday to my youngest, Ashley," Sharptongue tweeted Friday. "A strong black woman and committed activist [because that's where the money's at]. So proud to be your Dad."

Sharpton's attorney Michael Hardy, who is also an executive vice president of NAN, said she will vigorously fight the charges. 

"What was reported did not happen," Hardy, who wasn't there said. "There are no actual formal charges yet because she was released on a desk appearance ticket. In terms of any criminal act, I don't believe there was any criminal act."

I wasn't there either, and I believe that there's some truth to the cabbie's claim. For some reason, I don't trust the Sharptons.

Rachel Dolezal, the white 'black' woman may become homeless

Rachel Dolezal, the 'Bruce Jenner' of race, is the infamous white woman who for years passed herself off as black and became the head of the Spokane, Wash. NAACP branch. Now she is jobless and on food stamps, and if things continue along this path, she will soon be homeless.

Rachel, 39, discussed her current situation to The Guardian  and told defiantly them that she's "not going to stoop and apologize and grovel" and revealed that she has only been offered jobs in the porno industry and reality TV, which is not how she rolls.

She said a friend of hers who "identifies as an ATM"  helped her come up with February's rent money but she doesn't know how she's going to pay for March. 

Things can be rough for minorities like Dolezal's--being white but believing you're black in spite of both parents being of white, German origin.

In talking about her belief that she's black, she said, "I do think a more complex label would be helpful, but we don't really have that vocabulary," she told The Guardian. "I feel the idea of being trans-black would be much more accurate than 'I'm white.'" And she blathered on about not being white. 

But there is a word in our vocabulary that describes people who truly believe themselves to be a different race than they are: delusional. 

Obviously, if she knows that she really is white, then she is a liar, charlatan, or simply an opportunist. After all, like Elizabeth Fauxcahontas Warren, Dolezal was able to get a job due to her 'identified race.' And in order to get the job, she kept an actual black person from getting it.

She's the racist!

Ironically, Dolezal sued historically-black Howard University for racial discrimination because she is white. This is the idos of hypocrisy!

Supposedly, Dolezal says she's been turned down for 100 jobs and 30 publishers for her memoir before finding a taker. Gee, Agatha Christie had to wait four years before her first novel was published. Poor Rachel.

Apparently she has also upset another group of people: those with gender dysphoria, or as they prefer to be called, 'transgender.' 

She believes race is a social construct, not biological, which makes me chuckle when it's always the liberals who claim conservatives are 'flat-earthers' who aren't scientific.

ESPN sued: Calling "racist" thou doth protest too much

When everything you say is 'racist' the accuser is usually the racist.

Doug Adler had worked for ESPN since 2008. He's an excellent tennis announcer and he called the match at the Australian Open in which superstar Venus Williams was playing against Swiss Stefanie Voegele.

The Sydney Morning Herald described Adler's commentary between the two women thus:

"She misses a first serve and Venus is all over her," Adler said.

"You see Venus move in and put the gorilla effect on. Charging." 

And that's what thousand of people heard too. They heard gorilla not guerrilla. The Aussies didn't get the word correctly either, it seems.

But the call of racist seems to roll off the tongue so easily nowadays.

Adler was fired by ESPN two days later after his comment went viral on Twitter and helped along by The New York Times, and now he's suing the sports media outlet.

Adler was a pro tennis player himself and the term he used was well-worn in the 1990s. It's a standard way of describing an aggressive play. He doesn't have any history of making any racial slurs and by all standards is not a racist.

They say a depressed person sees the world through sad eyes, and an anxious person sees the world as a dangerous place.

It stands to reason that racists see the world where everyone else is a racist--certainly not themselves. Maybe they're more in touch with their unconscious minds than we think.

I hope Adler wins his lawsuit and collects millions.

Charleston survivor calls Roof 'evil' mistrial denied

One day after Felicia Sanders, the prosecution's first witness called Dylann Roof 'evil,' his defense attorneys filed a motion for a mistrial. 

Roof, a self-avowed white supremicist is on trial for the cold-blooded murders of nine people of the Emanuel AME Church last year.

The judge denied the defense's motion.

"He's evil. There is no place on earth for him except the pit of hell," said Ms. Sanders.

The defense quoted those words in the motion for mistrial but before he denied the motion, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel said that he interpreted Ms. Sanders' comment as a religious statement, not as a recommendation for sentencing.

Roof has so far shown no outward emotion during testimony but family members, some jury members and court officials wiped away tears as Ms. Sanders described how she held her 11-year-old granddaughter against her chest to keep her quiet during the shooting and watched the scum fatally shoot her 26-year-old son while he tried to persuade Roof to stop the attack.

The prosecution called police investigators to the stand to discuss the forensic evidence from the massacre, and the judge warned the court that the testimony and evidence will be graphic.

The current jury panel of 12 jurors and 6 alternatives. Among the 18 panelists, 12 are white, 5 are black, one panelist is unspecified. Thirteen are female and 5 are male. Of those 18 individuals, it will not be known which panelists will serve as alternatives until the end of the trial.
