'Gender Bias Expert' Accuses JD Vance of 'Mansplaining' at Debate, It Goes Downhill for Her From There

By Sister Toldjah | 1:21 PM on October 02, 2024

Another great moment came when Vance refused to be silenced by the CBS News debate moderators who falsely "fact-checked" him on the Haitian migrant crisis in Springfield, Ohio even though the rules of the debate were that the moderators wouldn't fact check.

"The rules were that you guys weren’t going to fact-check, and since you’re fact-checking me, I think it’s important to say what’s actually going on," Vance told them as he proceeded to make his case. He did so well on it that his mic was cut because we can't have any inconvenient truths slipping out, can we?

It was an important, necessary flag-planting moment in the debate for Vance. But to some so-called "feminists," Vance asserting himself by correcting the two female moderators, Norah O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan, was the definition of "mansplaining."

As Exhibit A, we have Amy Diehl, Ph.D., a self-proclaimed "gender bias expert" who became very fauxfended over Vance's fact check of the moderators.

As Exhibit A, we have Amy Diehl, Ph.D., a self-proclaimed "gender bias expert" who became very fauxfended over Vance's fact check of the moderators. Here's what she wrote on the Twitter/X machine:

"JD Vance talking over the female moderators. We women have all been there. Overtalked by an entitled mansplainer."

Her tweet quickly got ratioed as Twitter users took her to task for the lame (and false) accusation.

Relatedly, there was also MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace, who tried to suggest that Vance standing his ground against the moderators would be a turn off to women.

"I actually think if you're a woman, that might be the worst moment JD Vance had, because he was going to mansplain right over that mute button," she proclaimed. "I think that a lot of women in positions of authority that should command respect just by virtue of that dynamic will see themselves, and some do, the disrespect of them and talked over."

Umm, no. This is such a dumb line of argument that it makes my head hurt. It just sets women and the progress they've made back decades. And all over what? An inability/unwillingness to handle the truth or a different opinion?

It is not "mansplaining" when you correct someone for misleading people and/or stating a falsehood, whether it happened during a heated exchange or not. Vance wouldn't be accused of "mansplaining" had he done that to male moderators and he shouldn't be accused of it because the biased moderators in this case happened to be women.

I mean that's what true "equality" is supposed to mean, right?

403 Stanwich Road was put on the market recently priced at a million dollars, far lower than even a house being sold “as is”, and most likely just a building site should be expected to fetch. Gone in 6 days, it sold yesterday for $1.540 million. Why mess around with lengthy sales efforts when you don’t have to?

As has been noted here before, and said by other agents, it’s very hard to undervalue a property in Greenwich because, demand being so high, the market will bring it up to where it should be.

The merits of a spouse of a candidate should be as irrelevant as his or her shoe size, but everyone in the leftist media is aswoon over Doug Emhoff, a man who impregnated his daughter’s teacher while he was married, and then forced her to have an abortion. What a guy! A shining example of Modern Man.

And by “everyone”, I include the Old Grey Whore down in NYC:

So, while I continue to believe Emhoff is completely irrelevant to anything related to the current presidential campaign, it will be interesting to see how his media-adorees treat, or bury, this report:

Doug Emhoff Reportedly Slapped Ex-Girlfriend 'So Hard She Spun Around' in Public Altercation in 2012

The Daily Mail released an exclusive report that detailed how the left's ideal man, Doug Emhoff, reportedly slapped his ex-girlfriend across the face so hard that it caused her to spin around after a fit of jealousy, and in a very public place. 

According to the Mail, three friends have come forward corroborating the story that back in 2012, Emhoff slapped his then-girlfriend at the Cannes Film Festival in France: 

The Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, 59, allegedly struck the woman in the face so hard she spun around, while waiting in a valet line late at night after a May 2012 Cannes Film Festival event in France.

One of her friends told DailyMail.com that the woman called him immediately after the incident, sobbing in her cab, and described the alleged assault.

DailyMail.com is not naming the woman, who is a successful New York attorney, but will refer to her by the pseudonym 'Jane'.

A second friend said Jane, who had been dating Emhoff for three months, also told her about the alleged violence at the time.

A third friend told DailyMail.com that Jane first told her in 2014 that she had dated Emhoff, and recounted the full story of his alleged abuse in 2018, when then senator Harris was in the news after grilling Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in a Senate hearing over sexual assault allegations.

The incident went down at around 3am, when the ex-girlfriend was attempting to get a taxi for her and Emhoff. Emhoff flew into a jealous fit when the ex-girlfriend touched the shoulder of one of the valets: 

'It was something like 3am. They were trying to get out of there and they both had been drinking. There was a gigantic line for taxis.

'[Jane] went up to one of the valet guys, offered him 100 Euros or whatever, to get to the head of the line. She told me she put her hand on his shoulder. Doug apparently thought that she was flirting, and came over and slapped her in the face: 

'She slapped him back.

'My impression is that he had a lot to drink. She was sobbing [on the phone afterwards], but she wasn't slurring her words.

'She told me that she broke up with him that night.'

I gave last night's debate 10 minutes, just to reassure me that Vance wasn't going to implode like Trump did and, reassured, went to bed and left it to others to sum it up. They did:

Uh Huh. Commentators added context, merely by posting this:

And speaking of on the waterfront

90 Oneida Drive (link goes to the former rental listing, but you you’ll get the general idea) has sold for $3.2 million. There’s a house on the property, built in 1928 and expanded a bit since then, but the lot’s been pitched primarily as land, and why not? It’s waterfront, and a buyer can build a 12,000 sq.ft. palace here that will impress his friends and awe his enemies.

This particular sales effort began in 2018 at $3.995, so there’s been a bit of a comedown in expectations, especially because the owner paid $3.5 for the place in 2007. Oh, well, sold now.

In 2005, the Justice Department accused Daggett of being an “associate” of the Genovese crime family – one of the “Five Families” of the US Mafia. Daggett took the witness stand that year after federal prosecutors charged him with racketeering.

He described himself as a target of the mob – though a turncoat Mafia member had testified Daggett was under the mob’s thumb, The New York Times reported.

During the course of the trial, one of Daggett’s co-defendants – Lawrence Ricci, an alleged major mob figure – disappeared. His body was found weeks later decomposing in the trunk of a car outside a New Jersey diner.

But at least his sons’ looting of union coffers is more restrained — at least it’s that.

Dennis, the executive vice president of the ILA, earned $250,156 in the fiscal year ended December 2022, according to ProPublica. John, the general vice president of the Atlantic Coast District ILA, reportedly earned $264,228 in the same period.

Not this close to the election, are you kidding me?

Retailers, auto suppliers and produce importers had hoped Biden would impose the federal Taft-Hartley Act, which allows US presidents to enact an 80-day cooling-off period that forces employees to return to work during certain labor disputes.

But those hopes were swept away when Biden said Monday that he does not “believe” in Taft-Hartley.

As the general population grows furious, Biden’s handlers may lose some of their fear of offending unions and reverse their position on imposing Taft-Hartley, but the Mafiosi is right about this prediction:

Daggett had mocked the idea during an interview in early September. 

“Do you think when I go back for 90 days those men are gonna go to work on that pier?” Daggett said.

He painted a picture of the effects of the strikes over time – signaling he was readying to buckle down for the long run. 

“Everything in the United States comes on a ship,” Daggett said during the September interview.

During the first week of the strikes, media outlets will cover the picket lines, he predicted.

During the second week, car salesmen will struggle to hold onto their jobs as automotive shipments stall, Daggett said. The malls will start to shut down during the third week.

Next, construction workers’ jobs will be at risk, since steel and lumber shipments will lag.

“Everybody’s hating the longshoremen now because now they realize how important our jobs are,” the union head warned.

The longshoremen are “important” now only because they have a stranglehold on our ports, and that will not last. If they succeed in de-automating the industry in America and preventing computers and robots from dragging U.S. forward and out of the 20th Century, then workarounds will be developed: Mexico, for instance, is already far ahead of us, and will eventually offer a far cheaper alternative to the (equally?) corrupt harbor facilities along our coasts.

In the meantime, we’re in for some interesting moments in international trade.

Sounds about right to me
