The Week’s Most Urgent, Divergent, and Insurgent Headlines

RAINBOW LACES, TRANSGENDER BAPTISMS, AND A BOY IN A GIRL SCOUT DRESS
February is not only Black History Month, it is also LGBT History Month, at least in the USA and UK.

To “kick off” the month”€”haw!“€”Britain’s Merseyside Police are replacing their standard-issue black boot laces with rainbow laces to drive home the point that if you’re a filthy, disgusting, verminous, subhuman homophobe or transphobe”€”or even worse, both“€”they will kick in your skull as if they were skinheads and you were a Pakistani immigrant. Officials say that the plan will enable police to “give hate crime the boot.”

Just as NFL players must publicly emasculate themselves and wear pink to fight breast cancer”€”because, honestly, what bigger health problem faces NFL players than breast cancer?”€”this all seems like part of an orchestrated psy-ops program to feminize society’s dwindling outposts of unabashed butchness. 

Also from Gaye Olde Englande comes news that a Greater Manchester Unitarian church is offering “transgender baptisms” for people who suffer from the mental illness known as gender dysphoria. The church’s female “worship leader” claims that Unitarians stand for “reason,” which is unreasonable, seeing as how the mere act of proclaiming you’re the opposite sex doesn’t magically make it true.

The Washington Post reports on a poor little misunderstood nine-year-old “Transgender Girl Scout” named Stormi who when attempting to sell cookies door-to-door was rebuffed by a “bully” who reportedly said, “Nobody wants to buy cookies from a boy in a dress.” Although that statement is technically untrue”€”Stormi and his mom engendered enough transgendered sympathy online that they wound up selling 3,000 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies”€”it is an indisputable fact that Stormi is a boy in a dress.

IF YOU’RE GOING TO FABRICATE A HATE CRIME, MAKE SURE THERE AREN’T A DOZEN CAMERAS ROLLING
In what appears to be yet another gaudy carnival float in the nation’s endless parade of hate-crime hoaxes, the narrative spun by three black female students at the State University of New York at Albany is rapidly unspooling.

The trio of aggrieved Negresses claim that while riding a nighttime bus with other students on January 30, they were set upon by about a dozen white men who kicked and punched them and called them “niggers.” Of course they went on social media with their little story, and of course it inspired an outraged demonstration on campus that drew 500 protestors and even a sympathetic tweet by psychopathic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. One of the alleged victims’ brothers is NFL player Tyreek Burwell, who threatened one of the alleged perps on Twitter.

Unfortunately for the storytellers”€”and storytelling is a proud African tradition”€”there were at least a dozen surveillance cameras on the bus capturing every moment, and it appears that they were lying through their shiny white teeth.

CANADIAN “ACTIVIST’ GROUP GUILT-TRIPS OLD WHITE MALE PUNK ROCKERS
An all-female, all-nonwhite collective of alleged artists in Ottawa who call themselves “Babely Shades” is attempting to silence anyone in the punk rock community”€”a “community” that emerged in the mid-1970s to destroy rock ‘n’ roll but persists as a 40-year-old nostalgia trip that is now nothing more than a propaganda tool of far-left lunacy”€”who doesn’t immediately bow down and lick their boots when accused of cultural insensitivity. According to one Babely Shades member, they organized after attending punk-rock shows and feeling uncomfortable “in a club packed with white dudes” with “people staring at us funny.” So far they have attempted to shut down the appearance by a Portland band called Black Pussy because the group’s name is obviously engineered to make women of color feel unsafe and that everyone may attempt to gang-rape them at any moment. They’ve also protested an appearance by ancient punk band The Queers not only for their “homophobic” name but because the group’s singer once said something favorable about Darren Wilson, the Ferguson police officer who shot Michael Brown for assaulting him and attempting to steal his gun. Take a gander at these broads and tell me they wouldn’t suck the fun out of any room in the galaxy.

REPORTER AXED FOR FABRICATING FALSE NARRATIVE ABOUT CHARLESTON SHOOTING
Joining the ranks of egregiously unethical black reporters such as The New York Times’ Jayson Blair and The Washington Post‘s Janet Cooke is Juan Thompson of online site The Intercept. In the wake of the Charleston church massacre last summer, Thompson published an article claiming that he spoke with a certain “Scott Roof,” purported cousin of shooter Dylann Roof, and that “Scott” suggested that the carnage may have been inspired by the fact that Dylann’s girlfriend had left him for a black man. This story gained wide traction and was recirculated by several media outlets. Problem is, Roof’s relatives claim that “Scott Roof” does not exist.

In an apology to readers, editor Betsy Reed claimed that not only did Juan Thompson fabricate that article from whole cloth, he also fudged facts in several other articles and even “created fake email accounts that he used to impersonate people””€”including a fake account for Betsy Reed. In his defense, Thompson claimed he was undergoing treatment for testicular cancer and thus could not access the notes on his computer, yet somehow he was miraculously able to send a self-exculpatory email titled “The Great Problem,” which according to Thompson is that there are too many white people in media.
