Closing Thought–08May18

First of all…this day in history has been a busy day…..1904..US Marines land in North Africa to protect the Belgians….1942..The Battle of the Coral Sea…..1945..the final surrender of German forces…..1952 Allies have the largest bombing of North Korea.

Years ago there were many stories in the media about the rise in sexual assault among our troops….that was in the  dark ages of news before Trump……but even though it is not making news these days….the crime has not gone away….

Reports of sexual assaults across the US military jumped by nearly 10 per cent in 2017, a year that saw a massive online nude-photo sharing scandal rock the services.

Officials familiar with the data say the overall increase was fuelled by a nearly 15-per cent surge in sexual assault reports in the Marine Corps.

The Marines were at the centre of last year’s online investigation. The military services launched a campaign to raise awareness of inappropriate behaviour and beef up enforcement of social media rules and conduct.

The Navy and the Air Force saw increases of about nine per cent in reported sexual assaults, while the Army went up eight per cent. US officials spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details ahead of the public release of the report.

It is sad that women should have to face this danger as well as the dangers of multiple deployments in regions of conflict.

Psst! Little Girl Step Into My Office

Most of us Southerns know of Roy Moore and his 10 commandments debacle at the Alabama Supreme Court and his antics afterwards about LGBT issues.  He has been running to replace Sessions as the senator from the great state of Alabama and the scary part is he has a good chance of winning that race……that is until the latest news came out about his early life…..

The latest high-profile figure accused of sexual misconduct is a politician who has staked his career on morality. The Washington Post is out with a detailed report about Alabama’s Roy Moore, the state’s former supreme court justice who is now running for the US Senate. A woman who is now 53 says Moore initiated a sexual encounter with her when she was just 14 and he was a 32-year-old assistant district attorney. Leigh Corfman says that they did not have intercourse, but that Moore drove her to his home, stripped down to his underwear, removed her pants and shirt, and touched her through her bra and underpants. She says that when he began guiding her hand toward his underwear, she recoiled, got dressed, and asked to leave, at which point he drove her home. Moore categorically denies the allegations as “fake news” drummed up by Democrats.

The Post also talks to three other women who say that Moore asked them out on dates, sometimes successfully, when they were between the ages of 16 and 18 and he was in his early 30s and still single. The account given by Corfman is the only one that advances beyond kissing. “I wasn’t ready for that,” Corfman says of Moore’s attempt to guide her hand. “I had never put my hand on a man’s penis, much less an erect one.” She says she first met Moore outside a courtroom, when he approached her and her mother and offered to sit with Corfman while her mom went inside for a custody hearing. In his later career, Moore would twice be removed from his chief justice post for taking stands against gay marriage and his refusal to remove a 10 Commandments plaque. Read the full Post investigation, based on interviews with more than 30 people, here.

I always thought he was a pervert….but now I am more certain than ever.

The cowboy hat wearing gun toting son of a gun has more problems….the politicians in DC are starting to come out against this toad…..

Roy Moore was accused of initiating a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl when he was 32 in a Washington Post report published Thursday. Three other women say he asked them out on dates while they were between 16 and 18 years old and he was in his 30s. Now Republican senators are calling for the Senate hopeful from Alabama to drop out of the race—with one big caveat. “If these allegations are true, he must step aside,” the Hill quotes Sen. Mitch McConnell as saying in a statement. “If these allegations are found to be true, Roy Moore must drop out of the Alabama special Senate election,” Sen. Cory Gardner added.

I agree….time for this pervert get on his high horse and get the f*ck out of Dodge while he can……

But wait there is someone who is defending this person and it is the scum of the earth…….Bannon……

Minutes before the Washington Post on Thursday published a bombshell report detailing allegations by a woman who claims Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore sexually assaulted her when she was 14, the Steve Bannon-directed outlet Breitbart News ran a story that spotlighted Moore’s denials of the claims against him and attempted to “undermine the Post‘s credibility.”

“The story detailed some of the allegations, but with a distinct twist,” notes Business Insider‘s Maxwell Tani. “Breitbart included five paragraphs of denials from Moore, which were placed above many of the details of the allegations.”

Headlined “After Endorsing Democrat in Alabama, Bezos’s Washington Post Plans to Hit Roy Moore with Allegations of Inappropriate Relations with Teenagers; Judge Claims Smear Campaign,” Breitbart‘s piece more closely resembles a “press release” for Moore than a news story, argued the Washington Post‘s Aaron Blake.

That should not be a surprise after all he, Bannon, is defending Trump even after the “Access Hollywood” tape was made public……the one where Trump talks about grabbing women by their hoo-hoo and all…..

Time for Moore to just ride off into the sunset on his high horse and disappear from the American collective memory……we have enough perverts in Washington….we do not need another.

The Horror That Is The NOLA PD

I do not know if my reader has heard the horrors of the New Orleans Police department…..they have had problems for decades…..corruption, felonies, intimidation and brutality…….but I recently read a report that made me ashamed that these dicks are sent out to “protect and serve”….a concept that is foreign to the NOLA PD……..

In the latest blow to New Orleans’ scandal-weary police department, a city inspector general’s report claims five detectives failed to do substantial investigation of more than 1,000 cases of sex crimes and child abuse—with one detective cited for stating that simple rape should not be considered a crime. The report, out yesterday, examined the detectives’ work between January 2011 and December 2013 and found “an indifference to our citizens that shouldn’t be tolerated.” They have been transferred to patrol duty pending further investigation. More particulars, per the report:

  • A detective failed to investigate a case involving a 3-year-old brought to the ER for an alleged sexual assault, closing the case without charges even though the child had a sexually transmitted disease. The same detective closed the book with no charges on two cases involving children brought to the ER with fractured skulls.
  • Another detective allegedly told several people that simple rape—sex without consent of one party—should not be considered a crime. This detective handled 11 simple-rape cases, five of which saw no follow-up reports and one with no initial report.
  • Two detectives are accused of writing six reports—on the same day in 2013—to make it appear that they had done follow-up reports years ago.
  • The detectives classified 65% of 1,290 sex crime cases as “miscellaneous,” for which no report at all was written.
  • Of the remaining 450 cases, detectives followed up on only 179 cases; 105 of those were handed over to prosecutors, who in turn prosecuted 74 cases. The report calls on police to fully investigate the 271 cases that the detectives failed to properly check into.

A shameful legacy for the PD……

Teacher Oh Teacher

Whatcha say that we move on for a couple of days……..

Last week before the world went batshit crazy over the Syria story I read an article abgout a teacher that has sex with a student….I know this is nothing new….there seems to be a teacher a month that cannot keep his/her hands off the students….but this one is just crazy…..

(Newser) – A Montana teacher found guilty of raping a troubled 14-year-old girl who later committed suicide will spend just 30 days in jail because the judge decided the girl was “older than her chronological age” and “was as much in control of the situation” as her teacher. After the girl’s suicide just before her 17th birthday made the case hard to prosecute, teacher Stacey Dean Rambold, 54, entered a deferred prosecution agreement—which he violated by missing sex offender treatment meetings and having unsupervised visits with minors, the Billings Gazette reports.

Rambold—who had previously been warned to avoid touching female students—targeted the troubled girl and violated his position of trust by beginning a sexual relationship with her, said prosecutors, who asked for a sentence of at least 20 years, with 10 suspended. His defense argued that he had already been punished enough by the loss of his career and his marriage. The girl’s mother, who testified that the relationship with Rambold was a “major factor” in her daughter’s suicide, screamed “You people suck!” after the sentence was announced.

Crazy right?  Oh but wait…there is so much more…….

(Newser) – And the honors for most provocative op-ed go to former lawyer Betsy Karasik, who argues in the Washington Post that the nation must curb its “utter hysteria” over cases involving teachers having sex with underage students: “I don’t believe that all sexual conduct between underage students and teachers should necessarily be classified as rape,” she writes, “and I believe that absent extenuating circumstances, consensual sexual activity between teachers and students should not be criminalized.” She writes that she’s not trying to defend the Montana judge under fire for his comments about a 14-year-old victim being “older than her chronological years,” but that “tarring and feathering him for attempting to articulate the context that informed his sentence will not advance this much-needed dialogue.”

Karasik does think teachers who have sex with students should be removed from their jobs at least until rehab is complete, but she also says there is “a vast and extremely nuanced continuum of sexual interactions involving teachers and students, ranging from flirtation to mutual lust to harassment to predatory behavior.” Automatic criminal proceedings that traumatize the students involved may be doing more harm than good.

Bet you thought that it was over, right?  Tee hee!

(Newser) – Looks like Montana’s Judge Todd Baugh might be better suited to a career that doesn’t involve sentencing people. After apologizing and calling himself a “blithering idiot” for remarks he made when sentencing a teacher to just 30 days for raping a 14-year-old student, Baugh has ordered a new hearing after admitting that he believes he misread state law and the teacher should have been sentenced to a minimum of two years, the Missoulian reports.

Baugh—whose remarks sparked protests and demands that he step down—says his error means the 30 days he gave 54-year-old Stacey Rambold “would be an illegal sentence,” reports NBC. The county attorney says Baugh’s order is an “unusual occurrence” and he has been working to determine whether the case can be appealed to the state’s Supreme Court. The mother of Rambold’s victim, who committed suicide before the case could go to trial, has refused to accept the judge’s apology.

Just wanted to pass this on to me peeps…it is the week end and I will take a break from crazy….well political crazy…..

A Dreadful Wedding Story

If you have ever been married then there is most likely a story that is told at every family get together…..could be humorous or embarrassing or just plain stupid……but this guy has the worst day of just about any groom I can think of…….

(Newser) – John Azabache was supposed to be getting married Friday. Instead, he ended up getting arrested for allegedly raping one of his 16-year-old students. Needless to say, the wedding was called off, but the Journal News reports that Azabache did still utter the words “I do”—when he was asked by the judge whether he understood the order of protection keeping him away from the woman he was supposed to have married that very day. (Though he will likely see her again; the AP reports that she’s on the prosecution’s witness list.) The teen’s family told Ossining, NY, police Wednesday that the girl had sex with the 31-year-old math teacher twice over the past 4 months, and by the next night guests had been informed the wedding was off.

Says the would-have-been-bride’s spitfire-of-a-grandma, 92: “He always seemed like a nice guy. You men are all alike. You stink. I hope they send him to jail forever.” The Westchester County man, who has been with the Ossining school district since 2008 but has now been “reassigned from teaching,” pleaded not guilty. His lawyer insists that the charges don’t involve “any forcible compulsion,” but rather “an alleged incident with a minor, someone who is just under 17 years old.”

What can I say?  Maybe next time spend a less time trying to get into her pants and a little more learn about her….age would be a great place to start……..

Any thoughts?

Can They Get More Out Of Touch?

There is a true scandal in DC……NO it is not Benghazi or IRS or AP….it is the sexual assault being batted around in the hearings process in Washington…….I was not going to post much on this situation because there are more qualified spokespeople to handle the rebuttals and such……but like so many other issues I cannot remain silent while shitheads flap their lips…….

As the story is unfolding…..some 6000+ American troops have been sexually assaulted and the military turns a blind eye……HELL!  even some of the people that work to control and investigate sexual attacks have been charged with the same offense they were there to investigate…….I wish I could say that I am surprised but that would be a hardy chuckle……the military leaders are masters at covering their asses in time of trouble…….and this is NO different….

But the most incredulous things during the hearings are statements made by our cracker jack clowns that govern……

First let us hear from Georgia’s Saxby Chambliss……

“The young folks who are coming into each of your services are anywhere from 17 to 22 or 23. Gee whiz, the hormone level created by nature sets in place the possibility for these types of things to occur. So we’ve got to be very careful how we address it on our side,” Chambliss told top military officials at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing. “But guys, we are not doing our job. You’re not doing yours, and we are not doing ours with the rates we are seeing on sexual assaults.”

Next is another Southern asshat…….

During his questioning, however, Sessions brought up his concern that access to pornography on and around military bases was creating “problems” among the soldiers, sailors, and pilots:

SESSIONS: Mr. Chairman, I’d just add a letter, a document here that was given to me from Morality in the Media. Pat Truman used to be in the Department of Justice. I knew him when he was there. He points out that, a picture here of a newsstand and an Air Force base exchange with, you know, sexually explicit magazines being sold. So, we live in a culture that’s awash in sexual activity. If it’s not sold on base, it’s right off base. There are videos and so forth that can be obtained, and it creates some problems, I think.

Typical GOP tactic blame everything but the person doing the crime………

I am sure that these are not the last of bonehead pronouncements made by the GOP……the more they talk…the more they show their ignorance…….and the more they show their ignorance the fewer people will listen……the fewer that will listen will not vote for a party so out of touch………Maybe they should shrink wrap their tent before even more leave it behind………Good news to my ears!

You Thought It Would Be Different?

From the VOMITORIUM

The beginning of a three day Zen…..

We can blame society for many, many things….bad politicians, stupid marriage laws, greed governing the country….many things….but the Catholic Church has found a new one…..

By now the whole world knows the saga of the priest, all over the world, that are taking advantage of their position to RAPE small boys and the lack of concern by the church for these disgusting pigs….and now we have a report that blames just about everyone except the priests themselves…..this from the Politicususa website…………….

A study and report released this past week titled, “The Causes and Context of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Catholic Priests in the United States, 1950-2010,” placed the blame on everyone except the clergy who perpetrated the rapes.

The report failed to place the blame on the offending priests or the Catholic Church that turned a blind eye to the problem for decades. According to Terry, “The increased frequency of abuse in the 1960s and 1970s was consistent with the patterns of increased deviance of society during that time.” She also stated that “social influences intersected with vulnerabilities of individual priests whose preparation for a life of celibacy was inadequate at that time.” So according to Terry, society was at fault for the abuse during the 60s and 70s, but she failed to find any causal relationship for the decades preceding those years or the 1980s forward to the present. It is offensive to society and the children who were victimized to designate a 20-year time span as the cause of generation’s worth of sexual abuse by priests around the world. The report was limited to clergy-rape in the United States, but worldwide sexual abuse is just as rampant. In South and Central Americancountries where Catholicism is the predominate faith, lawsuits and reports to law enforcement are virtually non-existent suggesting that the problem may be much worse than in America.

The other aspect of the report that is arguably more disgusting than blaming society for pervert-priests is the contention that priests who rape young boys are not pedophiles. Apparently, Terry believes that, “Most of the priests who had allegations of abuse, abused pubescent or post-pubescent minors.” According to Terry and the Catholic funded $1.4 million study, “the victims of pedophiles are defined in the study as being 10 years old or younger.” It is true that the study defines pedophilia as sexual abuse of children under the age of ten, and it is unfathomable that Terry and her research team delineate one year to define a heinous act by the clergy. It is important to note that for the purpose of defending the Catholic Church against litigation from victims of clergy-rape, abusing an eleven-year-old boy does not carry the stigma of pedophilia, even though the 11-year-old boys who suffered brutality at the hands of trusted priests are no less physically and psychologically damaged than a ten-year-old.

I find most religion offensive, at best…..and now this report makes me more disgusted with the Catholic Church than I am with American politics…..apparently there is NO personal responsibility within the Church….but we already knew that…didn’t we?

But She Asked To Be Raped

From the VOMITORIUM

I do not know if people have heard this story that occurred in Texas…..a 11 year old girl was gang raped by 18 boys ranging in age to the oldest described as a young adult male…..a horrendous crime under normal circumstances but a recent event to discuss the attack sank into a wealth of blaming the 11 year old for instigating the attacks…..

This from a report in the Houston Chronicle…….

A meeting Thursday night that was billed as a way to discuss concerns some have about the investigation into a series of alleged sexual assaults on an 11-year-old girl turned into a forum that many used to blame the girl police contend is the victim of heinous attacks.Many who attended the meeting said they supported the group of men and boys who have been charged in the case. Supporters didn’t claim that the men and boys did not have sex with the young girl; instead they blamed the girl for the way she dressed or claimed she must have lied about her age — accusations that have drawn strong responses from those who note an 11-year-old cannot consent to sex and that it doesn’t matter how she was dressed.

For of all…….The age of consent in Texas is 17 and ignorance of a girl’s age is not a legal defense.

And now for the most tacky part…….gang raped an 11 year old…..come on morons…..what part of that excuse of the way she was dressed is sounds the most stupid?  How can anyone defend this action?  Nobody wants to be responsible for their actions……..these males are sex offenders, rapists, and should be treated as such…there is NO defense of their actions!

Put Lipstick On A Pig

WARNING:  Some may find this post will use language that some readers may find offensive….read at your own risk……

Does anyone remember this lame attempt at humor from the McCain/Palin camp during the ’08 campaign?  Well there is a PIG that needs to be brought to light…..well, there are probably more than one, but this PIG has a special place in Info Ink Hell……and will probably get an award of some sort at year’s end…..but who am I going on about?

Debbie Schlussel….a conservative talk show host, blogger, columnist, attorney and all around C**T……..I realize that women do NOT like the term C**T…but if anyone deserves the title it is this person (and I use the term loosely)………

What could she have done that makes her so distasteful to me?

By now I am sure that most people have heard about the CBS contributor that was sexually attacked and beaten on the Friday that Mubarak split from Cairo….while the people of the country are sending condolences and support to the journalist……Miss Schlussel had this to say about the person and the attack…….

As I’ve noted before, it bothers me not a lick when mainstream media reporters who keep telling us Muslims and Islam are peaceful get a taste of just how “peaceful” Muslims and Islam really are. In fact, it kinda warms my heart.

… How fitting that Lara Logan was “liberated” by Muslims in Liberation Square while she was gushing over the other part of the “liberation.”

Hope you’re enjoying the revolution, Lara! Alhamdilllullah [praise allah].

Up until this point I had not heard of this PIG and I can see why…..she is a C**T!  There are some on the Right that will listen to this rant and find some truth in her words….to those people I say…..F**K YOU!  There is nothing in her words but the ramblings of a low class, bitter and an unfeeling C**T……..even lipstick will NOT improve this PIG!
