A Few Odds And Ends

Here are a few things that aren't quite current, but still interesting:

If you think that all women should be believed when they accuse a man of sexual misbehavior, as if gender itself constitutes dispositive evidence, I would say that Brian Banks and retired Colonel David Riggins might beg to differ.  You could also consult some former Duke lacrosse players or members of the Phi Kappi Psi chapter at UVA.  On the other hand, perhaps some of the people who believe Dr. Christine Ford might also believe Karen Monahan, but I'm not holding my breath.

I have frequently linked material from Gatestone Institute, most of which I find at The Religion Of Peace.  Here's an article from GI, which was Tweeted by Tim Tapp, and which largely corroborates my belief that feudalism and socialism, far from being opposites, are actually very similar.  Both are forms of elitism in which, according to one excerpt:

The "elite" decide what is best for the "common people" -- the "masses" -- and then cram it down their throats.

The old elite were the nobility of feudalism, from the monarchs down to the counts and earls.  The new elite are the multiculturalists and globalists, mainly but not entirely on the left, who think that they have the right to tell us "commoners" how to live our lives.  Read the article at the link above.

Last Saturday, Virginia Tech defeated Duke in football by a score of 31-14.  My favorite play of that game was a screen pass to TE Dalton Keene (#29) which went for 67 yards and a touchdown.  QB Ryan Willis (#5) fakes a handoff to WR Sean Savoy (#15) running from right to left, then tosses the ball to Keene, who catches it toward the right, behind the line of scrimmage.  While OT Yosuah Nijman (#69) blocks Duke defender Johnson (#33), and WR Eric Kumah (#83) and C Zachariah Hoyt (#75) go downfield to block other defenders, Keene fakes out McDuffie (#9) and keeps running.  After Keene stiffarms Quansah (#49), Kumah comes over to knock Dimukeje (#51) to the turf.  Keene, known to his teammates as "Rambo", then outruns a few remaining defenders to the end zone.  (Unfortunately, the box score doesn't include first names.)  Watch the play on YouTube.
