JOSH HAMMER: Why Are The Nutjobs Trying To Kill Political Opponents All Left-Wingers?

The left has had a violent streak going back at least as far as Karl Marx's calls for a global revolution of the proletariat.

'MAN DEER' or Possible 'NOT DEER' Encountered in Southeast Kentucky

The girlfriend of the experiencer contacted me, describing her boyfriend's encounter with a bizarre, massive 'man-deer' creature while driving home late one night.I received the following account:"This story isn’t a joke, trust me I thought it was at first too. My boyfriend (18M) saw something he can’t explain. It was New Year’s Eve and he was driving home after our date night so it was around 1AM. We live in southeast Kentucky. I was lying in bed scrolling on my phone when I got a call from him. I didn’t think anything of it, assuming he was calling because he was bored on his drive home or something. I answered kind of half asleep when he told me he just saw something terrifying and he didn’t know what to do.He said, “Listen, I know this sounds insane and I can’t tell anyone else because no one will believe me, but I’m scared.”You should know that my boyfriend does not get scared often. He’s rational, he views everything with statistics and science. He doesn’t believe in the paranormal. I thought he was just messing with me, he was trying to scare me or something. I told him to explain what happened.“I was driving down the interstate and saw this deer, but it wasn’t. It was fucking huge. At first, I thought it was just a really big deer, but as I got closer I realized deer don’t get that big. Elk don’t even get that big.”It was at this point that I realized he was telling the truth. His voice was shaking and he was talking frantically. I’ve never heard him that scared before. He continued.“It was hunched over, it looked like a really big man, but it had deer antlers and fur all over it. I thought I was tweaking until I looked in my rearview mirror after I drove past it and it was still there and other cars were swerving away from it.”That night he didn’t sleep, he kept a loaded gun by his bed and watched the security cameras around his house all night.Last night we were talking about it again. As he was talking his eyes were darting around, he would check behind us every 30 seconds or so.He gave me a better description of it: it stood about 8 feet tall, and it looked like a man hunched over with his hands on the ground. It had a human face and massive deer antlers. Standing upright it probably would’ve been about 12 feet tall. It was covered in fur and stood deer-like. It was standing on the side of the interstate just watching the cars go by.Here is where things get wild.His house is about a mile from the interstate, with some woods separating them. He’s explored these woods before. He was telling me about a bridge in the woods that he’d explored before, and it shouldn’t technically be there. Every bridge in the state of Kentucky is registered with a serial number. This one wasn’t. He described it like it looked brand new. There was no rust, the stone and metal were pristine, and there was no graffiti. Under the bridge, there was a tunnel. This tunnel would logically be a drainage tunnel, but it was always bone dry. He doesn’t know how long it is, but he knows it is at least 2 miles long.He said it has been a couple of years since he’s been there and he doesn’t want to go back. He thinks that the thing he saw is from there. He said bridges are supposed to be registered but it isn’t in the Kentucky registry. Everything about the bridge is just wrong, and something about it reminded him of the thing he saw on the interstate.He told me there’s only been one other experience in his life that was like this one. It was right when he turned 17 and he was out alone hunting in the woods. If you’ve never been hunting before, you can see the woods wake up around you. As the sun rises the birds wake up, the squirrels come out and run around, and the deer come out for dinner (since they’re nocturnal). He told me this time, that nothing was there. The birds weren’t chirping, there was nothing in sight. The leaves were still, there was no wind, and everything was dead silent except the sound of his own breath. It was around noon and he decided something was off and left to go home. He told me he didn’t think much of it then, but now it genuinely scares him to think of that day.Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? I don’t know if It was a Wendigo or someone pulling a prank, but I know I’ve never heard my boyfriend sound like that before. I believe him, I believe there was something there that night that is unexplainable, and I need someone to confirm we aren’t crazy. I need some sort of explanation." LAfter I made an inquiry, I received this update from the writer:"I’m starting to believe what he saw was a Not-Deer. We talked about it and I was telling him what a Not-Deer was, and he said that could be it. For those who believed it could’ve been a person pulling a prank or a person in a costume, it was 28° at 1AM.At the moment I am not able to go out to the bridge. I am dealing with a lot in my personal life that is making it difficult to get out of the house at all. At some point I will check the bridge out, sadly it won’t be as soon as you all hoped for and I’m sorry." L**********TIME ANOMALIES! TRAVELERS & GLITCHES | LIVE Chat | Q & A | Join Us!

(PHOTO) The Mysterious CLINGAN 'BABY BIGFOOT'

The following photograph was forwarded to me in 2009 by an Arkansas witness. For years, I've seen several opinions as to what this photo depicted, but I'm still not convinced.Possible photo of juvenile Bigfoot taken in Arkansas, October 2009"Hello Lon, my name is Louisa Clingan and my cam captured that pic back in October of 2009. Thank you for posting it on your website. I am including in this e-mail attachment the enhanced photo using only hue and contrast to bring out more definition. In the inverted pics, you can see more structure, ears, hands, fingers, and toes. The cam was set in that location to try and catch what was killing the barn cats, and chickens and stealing the eggs.Don't know if you know the background, but the pic was not taken seriously because our bird was in the following pics. You can see that it's not a bird lol. Also, I really think that people think that these animals are born 9 feet tall, lol. This is a small juvenile, from what we figured using the reeds, fence line, and bottom of the power box for height comparisons, we believe it is no taller than 18" from the top of the head to the ground in the sitting position, hypothetically it would be roughly 36" or 3' in the upright position. The visual that I and my son had on this same property back in 06 was no more than 3 1/2' to 4'."A colleague told me later:"Lon, I am kind of freaking out over this baby Bigfoot photo. I told you I would do a rendering of what it looks like. Well, the more I sat and stared at the original, the more I realized there was something more to this. I just had a feeling I wasn't seeing it, and then it hit me like a ton of bricks.Working only with shadows and highlights, I found this 'baby face'. Though I have actually seen an adult Bigfoot, this has me blown away.As I started working on the face, I realized that in the original "enhancements" by someone else, even mine, were completely wrong. It doesn't look like a gorilla baby, nor a chimp baby. It's human! It looks like a human child!"Later they stated:"This is a living being. Now whether it is or isn't a Bigfoot child, I'll leave that up to you.All I can say is that it wasn't supposed to be there.I am also working on a colorized version, to enhance and coax out any more details.Please, please tell me what you think about this. That picture has been prodding me, ever since I laid eyes on it."Is this an actual juvenile Bigfoot?**********TIME ANOMALIES! TRAVELERS & GLITCHES | LIVE Chat | Q & A | Join Us!

Spontaneous 'FIRES!' Were DJINN Responsible?

Over a several-month period in late 2012, there had been a series of unexplained small fires in Turkey households said to have been caused by Djinn.In Muslim tradition, a djinn is a spirit often capable of assuming human or animal form and exercising supernatural influence over people. It is similar to a poltergeist as far as the activity...though a poltergeist is generally developed from a 'thoughtform manifestation' that may or may not be associated with an existing earthbound entity. I have posted a few of the known incidents in Turkey as well as a major case in Malaysia in 2010. Please excuse the translation.12/4/2012 - Siirt Province, Turkey: Mysterious fires that have broken out seemingly for no apparent reason in the house of the Toprak family in Siirt province over the last four months have aroused great curiosity in the region. The Toprak family is distraught over the mysterious fires, as between 300 and 400 fire incidents have occurred in the last four months. Almost all of the family's belongings and furniture have been reduced to ashes for no known cause. The Toprak family's household items apparently catch fire spontaneously, with some people believing that the fires have been caused by supernatural forces. The father of the family, Zeki Toprak, told the Anatolia news agency that between 300-400 fires have erupted in four months. Stating that they had to move house four times in as many months, Toprak said such mysterious events have continued to happen in each house they have moved to. Similar mysterious fires have also broken out in the classroom of fifth-grade student M. Toprak.The coat, notebooks, books, and several other items belonging to M. Toprak caught fire spontaneously in front of the students and teacher's eyes in the classroom. The teacher of M. Toprak told Anatolia that they searched M. Toprak for any material or substance that could have caused the fires, but did not find anything. The Siirt Governor's Office, the Siirt Provincial Mufti's Office, and Siirt University have all taken an interest in the family. Siirt Governor Ahmet Aydın, who also spoke to the agency, defined the incidents as supernatural and said it was impossible to understand having seen the many items that apparently spontaneously combusted. Aydın also said the governor's office is giving food to the family three times a day as they could not cook any meals in their house. Siirt University Rector Murat Erman said the university is extremely interested in the incidents and has established a team to investigate the possible reasons for such mysterious fires. Siirt Province Mufti Faruk Arvas pointed out that the fires might be due to the djinn. In Islam, the djinn are spirit beings that can be good or evil. Arvas stated: "According to our faith, there are beings called djinn. The fires might have been started by such beings." (Cihan/Today's Zaman) CİHAN - The Poltergeist File-----(NOTE: Please excuse the translation) 1/3/2013 - Ankara, Turkey: Anne Bu Knight, daughter of Nur İleyda unable to sense where the fire is unknown due to the recounting of her daughter's bad 'directed by jinn' claiming, said: "Yesterday afternoon, at least 10 since the fire broke out in our house.

Knight, "District Governor and asked for help by going mufti, told us to take our daughter to a doctor. Mufti, also suggested us to read the Quran. Beer and the environment met some of the professors. Quran imam read from it in our house, but 10 minutes after the fire broke out again.

Worried and scared look," he said. habermonitor.com-----A Fire Djinn in MalaysiaBetween May and December 2010 a series of strange incidents occurred in the home of a seventy-three-year-old widow, Zainab Sulaiman, in a village near Kota Bharu, Malaysia. Objects disappeared and reappeared, clothes were found cut to shreds, food scraps were strewn across beds and large quantities of salt and smelly fish sauce were dumped into cooking pots.It was all decidedly annoying, but Zainab and her family – a widowed daughter-in-law and two granddaughters – didn’t find it particularly frightening. They were merely being pestered, they assumed, by a mildly mischievous spirit. Even when a pair of pants, missing for three days, reappeared inside the refrigerator, they remained calm, hoping the imp would tire of its tricks.But in mid-December the weirdness escalated dangerously: over the next ten weeks, dozens of small fires broke out on clothes, rugs, linoleum, and mattresses throughout the residence. Sometimes several occurred within a few minutes; on one hectic day, there were no fewer than 78.Although all were quickly extinguished and surprisingly little damage was done, Zainab didn’t get a lot of sleep during those weird weeks. Her flimsy wooden dwelling, elevated on stumps and packed with clothes and bolts of cloth, was a veritable tinder box. She didn’t dare leave it unattended.News of the activity spread quickly, and on January 4 a group of Muslim holy men arrived and declared the house was infested by invisible entities known as djinn. (Djinn is the plural; the masculine singular is djinni – or genie)Djinn have featured prominently in Middle Eastern folklore since time immemorial and Mohammed, under the direction of the angel Gabriel, incorporated them into Muslim theology. Many of the tricks they reputedly play are highly reminiscent of those often attributed, in other cultures, to poltergeists.Over several months, a plethora of holy men conducted exorcisms until the djinn weakened and left the location...actually scrawling a message on a banknote “Goodbye, everyone”.Some aspects of the case strongly suggest the episode was genuinely paranormal:* Zainab never sought to profit from the episode. It had, in fact, cost her dearly. Many of her possessions were destroyed, and she’d paid the Muslim priests 1000 Ringgits for their failed exorcism.* She seemed completely honest, and it would have been virtually impossible for any of the family to start the fires without her noticing. No outsider could have hoaxed them.* No family member had an obvious motive to hoax the affair.* Independent witnesses saw objects move and disappear.* The steady escalation of weirdness: beginning with objects moving and disappearing, progressing to the slashing of clothes, then to the weird message, and finally to the fires – conforms to patterns of polt behavior noted elsewhere.* The very fact that more than 200 fires occurred without at least one of them doing serious damage – or for that matter completely consuming the flimsy dwelling - does seem almost miraculous. Uncannily localized fires have been noted at other polt sites.* The surges in a weird activity that occurred when strangers arrived correspond with known poltergeist behavior.* The presence of adolescent girls is sometimes seen as a veritable hallmark of a genuine poltergeist case.* The djinn’s rather pointless message was reminiscent of others found at poltergeist sites.* After the holy men failed to “cleanse” the house, the rate of fire-starting sharply increased. Similar sudden escalations of activity after attempted exorcisms have been noted at many other poltergeist sites.On the other hand, a few things suggest the episode was bogus:* Although none had occurred for ten days, two fires broke out on the very day I visited. Some might see that as a little too fortuitous.* The family seemed strangely unexcited by the fires.* At one stage so many of the girl’s uniforms were damaged that they had to stay home from school. Could that have been a motive for hoaxing?* Most suspicious of all was the similarity of Wan’s handwriting to that on the 10-ringgit note.But regardless of whether or not they were genuinely supernatural, the djinn, or the hoaxer(s), have called it quits, and Zainab can sleep soundly once again. - Excerpts from poltergeistfile.comThe Vengeful Djinn: Unveiling the Hidden Agenda of GeniesLegends of the Fire Spirits: Jinn and Genies from Arabia to ZanzibarThe Encyclopedia of Demons and Demonology**********TIME ANOMALIES!

On Abortion, Kamala Harris Is the Extremist

At one point during the Sept. 10 presidential debate, former President Donald Trump accused Democrats of not only supporting unlimited third-trimester abortions, but the “execution” of babies after birth. Once Trump wrapped up his rant, Linsey Davis, one of the ABC News moderators, “fact-checked” the former president, helpfully noting that “there is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born.” If Trump had been better prepared, he could have pointed out that a senator named Kamala Harris, while running for president in 2020, opposed legislation that would have compelled doctors to provide infants who survive abortions the basic care they would to any other human being in distress. So, not exactly “executing” babies. Just negligent homicide. And ironically, it’s because the contemporary Left’s position on abortion is so morally unfathomable that the media can gaslight voters. The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, after all, simply required medical professionals to “exercise the same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as a reasonably diligent and conscientious health care practitioner would render to any other child born alive at the same gestational age.” Yet Harris and 40 other Democratic senators opposed it. Most Democrats, however, argued the bill was superfluous because this sort of thing never, ever happens—just like the late-term abortions of viable babies never happens. Tragically, this is untrue. Just ask Tim Walz, Harris’ running mate. The Minnesota governor might not believe free speech is an absolute right, but he has no problem making abortion one. Indeed, Walz overturned laws prohibiting coercing of women into abortions. He defunded pregnancy centers. He removed requirements for informed consent on abortion—or any consent, for that matter. And then he stripped any protections for babies who survived abortion attempts. Five babies were left to die in 2021. Notwithstanding Harris’ contrived laugh mocking the very notion she supports unfettered government-funded abortion from conception to delivery, as it stands, seven states, as well as Washington, D.C., have no gestational limits on the procedure. One allows abortions in the third trimester. Sixteen allow abortions after viability. Indeed, during the debate, Trump was compelled to do the job of the ABC News moderators when he asked Harris to name a single restriction she supported. The vice president’s word salad offered none. Harris, instead, claimed she wanted to codify the “protections” of Roe v. Wade. Let’s remember two things about this misleading talking point. First, by the time Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization was decided, Roe had no enforceable protections. Zero. When the Atlantic interviewed the Colorado butcher Warren Hern last year, he’d already spent 50 years terminating the lives of completely viable babies in the third trimester. He did it under Roe v. Wade. Hern also admitted most of his victims were physically healthy—which is unsurprising. Not long ago, the Charlotte Lozier Institute found that most medical literature showed late-term abortions weren’t sought because of “maternal health complications or lethal fetal anomalies discovered late in pregnancy” despite what we are incessantly told by activists. A pro-choice Guttmacher Institute study similarly found that most late-term abortions were not “for reasons of fetal anomaly or life endangerment.” (As far as I can tell, they’re no longer conducting inquiries into this inconvenient matter.) It’s difficult—purposefully so, one imagines—to calculate how many viable babies are aborted every year. It’s probably around 1.3% of the total—which is to say thousands, perhaps over 8,000, viable babies are killed every year. Most, if not all, having nothing to do with “saving the mother’s life.” (There’s no law anywhere in the country that bars a doctor from protecting the life of the mother.) There are far more healthy babies terminated than school shooting victims every year. And Democrats want to enshrine the practice into law. Of course, sometimes these decisions are often fraught with complicated ethical questions. No one should diminish this reality. It’s not the pro-lifer who treats the issue frivolously. Two, Democrats want to go way beyond codifying Roe. The Women’s Health Protection Act, for instance, would not only have made it impossible to enforce any fetal viability limits, but it would have unconstitutionally overturned hundreds of existing state laws, including ones banning sex-selective abortions, protecting conscientious objectors, upholding parental or guardian notification for minors, and many others. On abortion, there is only one extremist on the ballot. COPYRIGHT 2024 CREATORS.COM We publish a variety of perspectives.

Will Matt Walsh’s 'Am I Racist?' actually change anyone's mind?

Will Matt Walsh’s 'Am I Racist?' actually change anyone's mind?

It's a great time to release a conservative documentary. Since Dinesh D’Souza’s "2016: Obama’s America," the left wing's grip on the genre has weakened, making way for a proliferation of right-leaning films like "The Plot Against the President," "Alex's War," and "Hoaxed."The movie presents a vivid example of the ugliness and abuse that virtue signaling can draw out of normal people seeking approval.Now comes Matt Walsh with "Am I Racist?" Can it attain the kind of mainstream theatrical success formerly reserved for blatantly liberal fare like "An Inconvenient Truth" and "Bowling for Columbine"? Preaching to the choir?I have two questions I always ask when evaluating conservative documentaries. First: Does the filmmaker actually have something to say, or is he just using the film to promote his personal brand? Second: Has the filmmaker worked to present a genuinely persuasive argument, or has he settled for preaching to the choir?As with his previous documentary, "What Is a Woman?" Walsh has picked a promising subject. And like its predecessor, "Am I Racist?" features Walsh blindly stumbling around the modern world, asking basic questions while pretending to be baffled. He's just a confused innocent earnestly trying to understand the latest bizarre concepts mainstreamed by obscurantist left-wing intellectuals.In "What Is a Woman?" it was trans and gender ideology. In "Am I Racist?" it's DEI policies and anti-racist activism. Walsh definitely has something to say, even if his characteristic acerbic personality often upstages his message. That just leaves the question of whether he can convince anyone not already fed up with the totalizing view of racial identity permeating every aspect of American life. Very nice!To that end, it is worth looking at the film’s approach. As my colleague Christian Toto puts it, Walsh is effectively trying to reinvent the Borat strategy of goading people into revealing their worst beliefs and prejudices by pretending to be an ally. The film introduces Walsh as a bumbling white man grappling with the challenges of the post-2020 world, going on a journey of self-discovery to become a certified DEI expert and interviewing leading progressive voices like Saira Rao and Robin DiAngelo. For the film to be truly persuasive, it needs to take the logic of modern critical race theory to it's inevitable conclusion. It needs to get the core of what “anti-racism” means in a modern context and why it’s bad on principle: its tendency to answer inequality with illiberal, easily exploitable social engineering, the way its relentless targeting of whites for their "privilege" and alleged sense of "supremacy" emboldens actual white nationalist groups to use the same arguments. It needs to expose the cynical, self-perpetuating grift of professional anti-racists like Ibram X. Kendi, who argues, “The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.”Racist uncleWalsh comes remarkably close to accomplishing this. "Am I Racist?" is comprised of several hidden camera group sessions with Walsh in attendance, asking questions and nudging the dialogue in the direction he wants. However, in its relentless desire to be a comedy, the film frequently stumbles.Throughout these hidden camera meetings, Walsh interjects and asks questions that derail the conversations, which proves detrimental from a journalistic perspective. He’s interrupting his enemies while they’re making mistakes. "Am I Racist?" works best toward the end, when Walsh hosts a DEI group discussion. He rolls out an old man in a wheelchair, identifying him as his uncle who told a racist joke. Walsh proceeds to castigate the man (actually an actor), leading two women in the crowd to join in, yelling obscenities at their target and bragging that they've cut off their entire families for being racist. Here, the movie presents a vivid example of the ugliness and abuse that virtue signaling can draw out of normal people seeking approval. Affirmative reactionUnlike "What Is a Woman?" "Am I Racist?" explicitly hopes to appeal to mainstream moviegoers. It's done fairly well with them so far, grossing $4.75 million in its opening weekend and landing in fourth place at the box office.Conservatives are largely turning out to support the film, with Lutheran Satire creator Hans Fiene praising the film as “genuinely hilarious” and “very well done.” The most notable, and surprising, nonpartisan review of the film has come from YouTuber Jeremy Jahns, who generally approved of the film as funny, thought-provoking, and “a good time, no alcohol required,” while highlighting the disconnect between activists and the desire of regular people not to have to think about race every second of their lives.More positive reviews coming from nonpartisan or centrist content creators would help assuage my fear that "Am I Racist?" won't have much reach beyond the conservative media-sphere. As "Podcast of the Lotus Eaters" points out, the film's unabashed mockery of DEI — its steadfast refusal to take it seriously or consider it worthy of reverent attention — may be persuasion enough. And yet the fact that progressives are brigading "Am I Racist?" so effectively is a sobering reminder of the vast propaganda machine at their disposal. Winning the hearts and minds of open-minded non-conservatives will take all of the creative and commercial power the right can muster.

Watch the iPhone 16’s electrically-charged battery replacement process

image: iFixit No sooner has the Phone 16 lineup arrived than the folks at iFixit start taking them apart, a process made easier this time around by the day-one release of repair manuals from Apple. The disassembly process shows the Camera control is a real button that moves, along with a flex cable that likely measures force, and the heat sink that appears positioned to keep the A18 chip’s Neural Engine cool while it handles AI workloads. For this year’s refresh, the base iPhone 16 may be more interesting than the Pro model for one reason — it’s the first one using electrically debondable adhesive for its battery enclosure. As reported in June by The Information, Apple isn’t using the new adhesive on all of its phones yet, but now we have a lot more... Continue reading…
