And the left always complains about Millionaires and foreign money helping the RIght

Yet is seems that it is, instead, foreign money donated by non-US citizen millionaires that is funding the LEFT….

And it ain’t Soros (at least not this group)

How unknown donors with South Asian and Middle Eastern backgrounds are spending millions funding the rise of the far-Left… as they plot to dominate midterm elections

 

The leftists always say we gotta keep foreign money out of our elections….I agree:  we need to do something to make it illegal for non us citizens (and corporations) to donate money to our candidates and PACS.

But them the Leftists couldn’t get elected, I suppose. On a fair and level playing field they always lose.

question for the legal types:

Since the Jane Doe in the Cornell case is suing the 7 men in civil court, do the Shield Laws still apply to her? Or is her name now a public record since it is now also a civil matter, not just a criminal one? Can she still hide  her identity?

 

Enquiring minds and all that….Plus asking for a friend….

 

 

 

 

All ‘Bout it ’til she wasn’t.

Text messages the day after the party say she liked the fun she had. 

Funny that, since now she claims it was a gang rape. But the texts seem to indicate that it was all consensual:

“‘So anything anyone has to say about the gamgbang [sic] is out of their jurisdiction. I don’t think we should feel any shame for the part. our body our choice,’ she allegedly wrote.”

That makes it pretty unambiguous , if the texts are real.

Funny how ladies change their mind under pressure from other women, innit?

I think it is time we wake up and realize that the mind of women, as evinced her and in other cases like Ms Clancy, is often strange and ever changing. One minute they like something, the next they don’t. One minute they are crazy enough to plan ahead so they could murder their children, the next they think they should be treated normally because it was temporary insanity….

Things like these cases are why I wonder if women should be allowed to vote….some are sane and rational (for whatever definition of “sane” you wish to use, nut even then…..) and and many are not ever rational. .

I think this whole thing is just about making her civil case against the seven men happen.

 

 

 

Wednesdaye Wordz of Wisdom 99

“A society in which the citizens fear the police has issues”

“Your future needs you, your past does not, let it go”

“You can tell a woman, but you can’t tell her much”

“He who has never failed has never tried”

“If someone, a lover or a friend, ever says they can do better, shake their hand, and wish them well in their quest. Then leave”

“Don’t let the same people disappoint you twice”

“The capacity to learn is a gift, the will to do so, a choice”

“A truly enlightened man still plants trees, even at the end phase of his life”

 

 

On this Cornell thing:

Why are the names of the young men being spread all about the world via press releases and news media, but the name of the “Victim” hidden?

Don’t those men have the right to privacy until convicted?  The presumption of innocence until tried?

Second question: When a woman gives consent (and apparently, she did, at the time) then can she revoke that consent days or weeks later? She apparently texted and said she “had a great time” the day after, which kinda breaks the whole “I didn’t consent” bit don’t it? Hard to make that go away.

Regret later of an encounter does not mean a rape happened.

I don’t know, and you don’t know, what happened that night. But to trash the reputations (and futures) of a bunch of young men before they are convicted of anything is, in my opinion, just plain wrong. If they are gonna shield her identity, they should shield the accused as well.

Give ’em a fair trial first, then, hang ’em…if the charges can be proven. And if it is found that a rape didn’t occur, then she should face charges. As should every single entity spreading the names of the accused.

 

Again: None of us know for sure what exactly happened. We don’t know whose story is true…. But her report, weeks later, apparently didn’t meet the standards for charges. It appears that her friends told her she Must Have Been raped after having some wild fun (’cause no decent girl would consent to such behavior) , and that changed her mind from a wild night to something she regretted. Her reputation as a “Good Girl” is gone and her friends and female acquaintances think poorly of her for her behavior, so now it becomes “rape”. Funny (strange) is the culture of, and the minds of, women, innit?

I dunno either way though. My question is though, do these men whose reputation is now trashed, by both the college, the police, and the media, have recourse if they are found to be not guilty?

1500 miles this weekend

That’s how far I travelled, doing a bit over half of the driving.

 

I can still do 14 hour trips like I did when I was in my 20’s, but my knees object more these days.

 

The RAV 4 hybrid we drove was a pretty decent road trip car for the front seat passengers, but the complaint was that it lacked legroom  for the back seat folks.

But it had great pep and pretty decent handling and a smooth ride and got an honest 38 MPG on the highway, even when driving at 1.5X the posted limits ..(I. of course, would never exceed the posted limit as I am a law abiding citizen, but other drivers may have)

Next time though, we are flying.
