Our Liberal Media Betters: Make-Up Artist Alleges That Leftwing Country Music Has-Been Garth Brooks R*ped Her

Garth brooks redefined masculinity when he double-down on selling Dylan Mulvaney Beer in his bar.

Now he's redefining masculinity more aggressively, Douglas-Emhoff-style.

A makeup artist sued Garth Brooks on Thursday, alleging that the country star raped her in a hotel room, and subjected to her to unwanted sexual conduct on other occasions, including sending her lewd text messages and groping her breasts.
The woman, identified as Jane Roe in the lawsuit, also accused Brooks of exposing himself to her on multiple occasions. She alleges that the trauma from the rape was so severe that she contemplated suicide.
"Brooks is desperate to prevent his millions of fans from learning about the horrific things he has said and done to a junior female employee who did nothing to deserve such treatment," the lawsuit states.
According to the complaint, Brooks filed a preemptive lawsuit last month against the woman in federal court in Mississippi.
The plaintiff in that suit alleges that the woman threatened to ruin his reputation by filing a sexual abuse lawsuit unless he gave her a multimillion dollar payout.

By the way, that's not blackmail. The law of blackmail specifically excludes threats made regarding legal action. I think the law probably specifies that the legal action must be bona-fide. But people literally threaten to sue each other unless redress is made every single day and if this were blackmail the prisons would be overflowing.

The federal suit was filed anonymously, describing the plaintiff only as a "celebrity and public figure who resides in Tennessee." The plaintiff, John Doe, states claims of attempted extortion, defamation and infliction of emotional distress.
...
The woman is represented by Douglas Wigdor, who has filed numerous #MeToo lawsuits against Harvey Weinstein and other powerful figures.
"We applaud our client's courage in moving forward with her complaint against Garth Brooks," Wigdor and his co-counsels, Jeanne Christensen and Hayley Baker, said in a statement. "The complaint filed today demonstrates that sexual predators exist not only in corporate America, Hollywood and in the rap and rock and roll industries but also in the world of country music. We are confident that Brooks will be held accountable for his actions and his efforts to silence our client through the filing of a preemptive complaint in Mississippi was nothing other than an act of desperation and attempted intimidation."
...
The suit alleges that she was at Brooks' home, when he emerged from the shower naked with an erection. She alleges that Brooks forced her to touch his penis, and urged her to perform oral sex. She refused, but continued to work for him.

In May 2019, she alleges that Brooks traveled to Los Angeles for a Grammy tribute, and booked a hotel where they would both stay. She alleges that Brooks violently raped her in the hotel room.
Afterward, she alleges that Brooks would often discuss sexual fantasies in front of her, would send her lascivious text messages, and would stare at her breasts. She alleges that he would pressure her to open her shirt, so that he could grope her breasts and then masturbate.

So, I imagine these texts exist. That doesn't mean her other allegations are true, but assuming there are inappropriate texts like this from Brooks, that scotches his "she's making it all up, she's a fantasist and extortionist" defense.

Again: If they exist. If they don't, she's lying.

Speaking of another woman-abuser, Kamala Harris's trophy husband Doug "the 'Hoff" Emhoff, I saw someone comment that she didn't know if the woman-punching allegations are true (I think they probably are, there are multiple witnesses), but she does know that Kamala Harris did not ask for evidence when attempting to lynch Brett Kavanaugh.

That's the Harris Standard of guilt, and her Beard Husband is guilty.

104 I liked some of his music. And there were actually a couple of decent song on that "Chris Gaines" record. That said, I'm not a fan of country music. I can listen to some but it depends on the song and the artist.

I like the song Whiskey River but can't stand Willie Nelson's voice. Same with 7 Spanish Angels. That song was great while Ray was singing but then that guy butted in. I recently listened to the song The Highwayman. Oddly enough it gave me an opportunity to appreciate Willie Nelson's voice. Only because Kristofferson sounded so awful. That guys voice was broken glass and his delivery was 5 miles of bad road. At least Willie was on key and had a smooth delivery. And he was singing the most challenging verse.

112 Granted, I am a redneck, raised with brothers but am feminine. I know how to fight because of them. I mean on the floor or near enough to death that I would have to tell my parents fighting. I could still get some kicks and wounds done even if left for dead, as I am now olde.

If ole Garth or any man came out of the shower like that I'd say something snarky like, "Put a sock on that ugly thing, you jackass." He could then fire me and I'd sashay outta there.

As far as him "making" me do the other stuff, there would be teeth marks and regret in the Emergency Dept with his interview with the police.

I told my husband of over four decades, when the Weinstein stuff hit the fan, that there is no way on earth I would have 1) gone to that fat frog's hotel room for a role in one of his smutty movies for an Oscar. Wouldn't the sight of his bloated ugly self answering the door in a white robe be a clue? 2) There would be a Bobbit going on if he put it in my face. And, 3) I would not stand there and watch him do it in a plant. I am dead serious. I can also probably rattle off his actresses who did not speak out against this fat toad, but won an Oscar: Streep, Lawrence, Paltrow, etc.

135 I can never understand these women who claim that they have been raped or subjected to sexual harassment on multiple occasions. For me it would be a one time only, I would never come near the attacker or abuser unless waylaid.

How often are these situations where she was used and discarded and then suddenly it was rape? How often was it that she hoped for more which didn't eventuate so this is now her revenge?

Not that the jerks have my sympathy, the rules are simple. Don't f*ck around and then nobody could accuse you of this sort of thing.

Striking members of the International Longshoremen’s Association will be back to work at the ports on Friday, two sources told CNN Thursday, as the union and the management group representing shipping lines, terminal operators and port authorities have reached a tentative deal on wages.

The sources who spoke with CNN said there is not yet a final agreement on the complete contract. But one of the sources said that the two sides had agreed to extend the contract that had expired Friday until January 15 and have the union members back on the job while the final details are worked out and the agreement is ratified by the rank-and-file.

What they want to do, they fearmonger about.

The Rise of the Right-Wing Tattletale
By Adam Serwer
It was February 2022, and Texas Governor Greg Abbott had ordered the state’s Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate the parents of minors who were receiving gender-affirming medical care. “The Texas Family Code is clear,” Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote in a legal opinion that Abbott used to justify his order. “Causing or permitting substantial harm to the child or the child’s growth and development is child abuse.” Abbott called upon “licensed professionals” and “members of the general public” to tell the government about families who were known to have trans children, so that they could be investigated for abuse. These families were now surrounded by potential informants: teachers, friends, neighbors.

Tina Peters is a 69-year-old woman, with no prior criminal record, who was found guilty of “attempting to influence a public servant in violation of duty” among other election-related charges.

Listen to Judge Barrett’s unhinged admonishment of Tina prior to sentencing her to multiple sentences of years, which the judge ordered to be served consecutively.

172 More Atlantic article part 2:

One DFPS employee who herself has a trans daughter asked her supervisor for clarification... Would she now be considered an abuser... And if so, would her child be taken from her? According to a lawsuit that the ACLU filed on behalf of the employee and her family, she was put on leave hours later, and told the next day that she was under investigation...

The order threatened to separate trans children from their parents, which could lead to expensive legal battles for families who wanted to keep custody. ...If trans kids were taken from their parents, she told me, they would be entering a foster-care system “that’s already overrun with kids who were actually being physically and emotionally abused by their families.”

In response to the ACLU’s lawsuit, a judge blocked enforcement of Abbott’s order in March 2022, and two years later, a state appeals court upheld upheld the injunction. But an exodus of families with trans children was already under way, particularly after Texas outlawed gender-affirming medical care for children... “I don’t want to live in this state of terror anymore,” one mother who left for Colorado told Texas Monthly.

Hi backatcha! I have been busy and becoming a grandmother apparently is similar to a lobotomy for me. A boy and a girl. The girl looks and acts like my people. It is a new world and all I could focus on for awhile...well, other than strange men in our house remodeling for years it seemed. This girl is our son's twin and has the family scowl of her grandmother and great-grandfather. Both are hilarious and we play hard with them every week. So I am even more dimwitted than six years ago.

Went into some sort of not watching news protest after 2020. Still don't. I scan headlines and study weirdos on reddit and mock them to myself. But am good and hope you are as well.

Yesterday, instead of going postal about the mess in NC and the feds after Helene, I came here late last night and vented a bit.

This might be hard to believe but most union workers would much rather work than strike (unless they're teachers who don't want to, you know, work).

You'd rather have a week's pay than walk a picket line.

So, membership has no desire for leadership to play gams or drag their feet. Could there be politics involved? Certainly. But it's not ALL of the motivation to end the strike.

The IDF and Shin Bet confirm carrying out an airstrike in the Gaza Strip overnight, killing Aziz Salha, a Palestinian infamous for his role in the lynching of two Israeli soldiers in Ramallah in 2000.

The military says Salha, 43, was targeted in central Gaza's Deir al-Balah.

Soldiers Sgt. First Class (res.) Yosef Avrahami and Cpl. (res.) Vadim Norzhic were killed in October 2000 after they took a wrong turn and ended up in the Palestinian Authority-controlled city of Ramallah in the West Bank.

Salha is known for an image in which he is seen proudly displaying his blood-soaked hands to a mob following the lynching of the two reserve soldiers.

He was detained by Israel in 2001, and eventually exiled to Gaza in a 2011 deal in which Israel exchanged 1,027 terror convicts for captive soldier Gilad Shalit.

The IDF and Shin Bet say that Salha had been involved in advancing terror attacks in the West Bank from Gaza in recent years.

255 Mainstream country music is all fake and gay. It's soft rock with an exaggerated accent and maybe a fiddle. It's minstrelsy for whites.
I'm certainly not saying that decent country exists (David Coe was hilarious, Johnny Cash was brilliant) but that's not what draws crowds of idiots to Nashville.

257 I can't go to a bookstore & ask for assistance without misgendering someone, purely by accident. Unfortunately, I'll go the path to shop for books by mail and miss going down the aisles of books and magazines.

🎯 The IDF and ISA eliminated the terrorist Rawhi Mushtaha, the Head of the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip.

The IDF and ISA currently announce that approximately three months ago, in a joint IDF and ISA strike in the Gaza Strip, the following terrorists were eliminated: Rawhi Mushtaha, the Head of the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip; Sameh al-Siraj, who held the security portfolio on Hamas' political bureau and Hamas' Labor Committee; and Sami Oudeh, Commander of Hamas' General Security Mechanism

Israel War Room @IsraelWarRoom 6h
IDF statement:
Yesterday (Wednesday), acting on IDF intelligence, IAF fighter jets eliminated Khider al-Shaebia, the terrorist who was responsible for the attack in Majdal Shams. Khider commanded the Har Dov area in the Hezbollah terrorist organization.

Khider was also responsible for hundreds of rocket and anti-tank missile launches at IDF posts in the area of Har Dov, Mount Hermon, and the northern Golan Heights.

The IDF will continue to operate against the threat of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in order to defend the State of Israel.

🎯The IDF Eliminated one of the Leaders of Hezbollah’s Precision Guided Missile Manufacturing Project

Earlier this week, the IAF conducted a precise, intelligence-based strike in the area of Beirut, eliminating the terrorist Mahmoud Yusef Anisi, a senior terrorist involved in the Hezbollah terrorist organization's weapons manufacturing chain.

Anisi was one of the leaders of the Hezbollah PGM campaign in Lebanon and was a significant source of knowledge with many technological abilities in the field of weapons manufacturing.

Anisi joined Hezbollah more than 15 years ago and was an expert in Mechanical Engineering, dedicating his knowledge to strengthening the advancement of strategic weaponry within Hezbollah.

The IDF and ISA say they have eliminated Zahi Yaser Abd al-Razeq Oufi, head of Hamas in Tulkarm, during a counterterrorism operation. He was responsible for planning attacks, including a failed car bombing, and supported multiple terrorist activities in the region.

Alongside Oufi, multiple other significant terrorists who were part of the terror network in Tulkarm were eliminated.

He and Yearwood are still married, all their respective kids from first marriages are now grown and they have one place in Nashville. I’m not sure if he still owns a ranch in Oklahoma. He and Yearwood are dedicated lefties, Brook’s sister is a lesbian and he staunchly supported gay marriage and obviously the transgender movement. Not sure why so many immediately jump to “he’s gay”, especially when the accuser is not a man.
