Greetings, Dear Reader,

Can we put women on pause until we figure out wtf is going on?

BAN WOMEN FROM USING THE INTERNET

The latest ISIS-inspired attack the feds foiled was intended to blow up the New York statehouse in Albany and was perpetrated by a dopey looking white woman who had converted to Islam five years ago.

I recently said to my wife that nothing annoys me more than seeing a dopey white woman in hijab. It leads to all sorts of assumptions on my part. Firstly, that they’re dopey, but secondly that they’re acutely susceptible to suggestion.

Jessica Bowie went “from a little girl waving an American flag after 9/11 to now having stickers of the falling towers,” she’d told a confidential informant prior to getting busted. Bowie was radicalized in part due to profuse social media use. At first it was just statements in support of jihad, but a few months ago it turned operational when she started seeking coaching on bomb materials.

The internet driving otherwise well meaning left-wing women (Bowie was registered Democrat for years until registering as an independent) nuts is not a new story. Going direct action isn’t even unique either. I’m not entirely sure........
