Highway Patrol Chief Investigated After ‘Transphobic’ Bruce Jenner Facebook Post

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Wire. Chief Mark Garrett of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) has been placed under investigation for posting a disparaging meme of Caitlyn Jenner on his personal Facebook page, which mocked the former athlete for presenting himself as a woman.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the investigation into Garrett’s Facebook post began when an L.A. Times reporter revealed it to CHP officials.

“The entry, which Garrett posted in April 2017, shows a photo of Jenner that is overlaid with a transphobic and vulgar message,” reports the outlet. “In bold type on Jenner’s image, it reads, ‘Anyone who says I’m not a lady can,” and then suggests the reader perform a sex act.”

Officer Garrett said he did not remember if he had shared the post or not, though he acknowledged knowing the woman who shared the original post. Several of his friends posted comments underneath that allegedly demeaned transgender people, according to the Times report. He added that the post does not reflect how he feels or the department’s values. . .

Now the California Highway Patrol has launched a full-blown investigation into Garrett’s private Facebook page while denouncing it as being incongruent with CHP’s inclusive values. (Read more from “Highway Patrol Chief Investigated After ‘Transphobic’ Bruce Jenner Facebook Post” HERE)

CHP Chief Investigated over Facebook Post About Caitlyn Jenner

By LA Times. . .Garrett said the posting doesn’t “reflect how I feel” or the department’s values.

“That was a personal Facebook page, and it has nothing to do with the CHP,” said Garrett, the chief of the Los Angeles-area CHP.

The department has launched an investigation into the post and denounced the image. The probe comes as prosecutors are reviewing whether CHP officers in the East L.A. station broke the law following an announcement in February by Garrett that dozens of officers had been relieved of duty amid falsified overtime allegations.

“While the post in question appeared on a personal Facebook page, which CHP policy does not specifically address, the post is not consistent with the department’s organizational values,” spokeswoman Fran Clader said.

Husband of 9/11 Hero Sends Award Back Over Bruce Jenner

/4 Comments/in , /by

The husband of a cop killed on 9/11 returned his wife’s posthumous Woman of the Year award to Glamour after the magazine gave the same honor last week to Caitlyn Jenner.

James Smith told The Post he yanked the award off the shelf in his Long Island home dedicated to his wife, Moira, and FedExed it back to the magazine.

Moira, who died at the age of 38 after rushing into the south tower, was honored by the magazine a month after her death . . .

“I was shocked and saddened to learn that Glamour has just named Bruce Jenner ‘Woman of the Year,’ ” Smith wrote in his scathing missive of the former Olympic track star and Kardashian reality-show patriarch.

“Was there no woman in America, or the rest of the world, more deserving than this man?” Smith wrote. “At a time when we have women in the armed forces fighting and dying for our country, heroic doctors fighting deadly diseases, women police and firefighters putting their lives on the line for total strangers, brave women overcoming life threatening diseases … the list of possibilities goes on … is this the best you could do?” (Read more from “Husband of 9/11 Hero Sends Award Back Over Bruce Jenner” HERE)

Here’s the Outcome of ‘Caitlyn’ Jenner’s Fatal Car Crash

/5 Comments/in , /by

Prosecutors declined to charge Caitlyn Jenner on Wednesday in a California car crash that led to the death of another driver, saying there was not enough evidence for a conviction.

Authorities said Jenner was towing an off-road vehicle on a trailer behind a Cadillac Escalade on Feb. 7 when he crashed into two cars, pushing one into oncoming traffic. Driver Kim Howe was killed when her Lexus was hit by a Hummer.

“We believed from the start that a thorough and objective investigation would clear Caitlyn of any criminal wrongdoing,” said Blair Berk, Jenner’s attorney. “We are heartened the district attorney has agreed that even a misdemeanor charge would be inappropriate. A traffic accident, however devastating and heartbreaking when a life is lost, is not necessarily a criminal matter.” (Read more from “Here’s the Outcome of ‘Caitlyn’ Jenner’s Fatal Car Crash” HERE)

Police Announce Bombshell About Bruce Jenner That Could Mean Huge Trouble

/2 Comments/in , /by

caitlyn-jenner-car-crash-videoGiven what the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department has just announced, the next phase of Caitlyn Jenner’s new reality show — if there is one — might be shot behind bars.

The Los Angeles Times reports that authorities will soon present to prosecutors evidence that could support charges against Jenner in connection with the deadly crash in which he was involved on Pacific Coast Highway earlier this year. Investigators say that Jenner was “driving at an unsafe speed for the road conditions that day” in February when his vehicle hit a car driven by a woman named Kim Howe. She died in the chain-reaction crash.

“The evidence will be presented to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office next week. Prosecutors will review the case and decide whether to formally charge Jenner. Typically, a single misdemeanor manslaughter charge could carry a sentence of a year in jail,” according to the Times report.

Because the deadly crash involved a high-profile celebrity — one who has been honored for “courage” by ESPN and now stars in the I Am Cait reality series on E! — the exhaustive sheriff’s investigation has taken some six months to conclude. The Times article on the possible charges against Jenner notes:

At the time of the crash near Corral Canyon Road in Malibu, authorities said Howe’s Lexus rear-ended Steindorff’s Prius when it slowed down or suddenly stopped, and that Jenner’s Escalade then rear-ended Howe’s car, thrusting it into oncoming traffic. A Hummer struck Howe’s Lexus after it was pushed into traffic.

Bruce Jenner’s Reality Show Premiered and It Did NOT Go as Planned…

/3 Comments/in , /by

“I think this is one of the strongest things that have happened in our existence as human beings….” That’s how Kim Kardashian’s celebrity husband, rapper Kanye West, described Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner’s gender transition from manhood to womanhood during West’s brief appearance on the premiere of the new reality show “I Am Cait” on Sunday night.

While legitimately claiming the title of one of the best-selling musical artists of all time, West’s claim that Jenner’s public journey into transgenderism is somehow a seminal event in the history of man(?)kind seems to be a rather exaggerated, if not demonstrably preposterous, statement. Of course, this is “reality” TV.

In the minds of many sympathetic and supportive liberals, Jenner is a cultural hero of sorts — a courageous trailblazer leading the way to a more inclusive and accepting society. Paradigm-busting progressives celebrate the new series on the E! cable network as a breakthrough opportunity to shine a favorable light on the challenges and issues facing trans folk.

But not all the reviews of the first episode of “I Am Cait” were kind to the reality show — sometimes referred to as an eight-part documentary series that shows an angst-riddled but hopeful Jenner in a wide variety of settings and situations.

In his assessment of the show, The New York Times‘ Mike Hale offered a comment in his first paragraph that set the tone for his review: “Once again [Jenner is] a polished, effective pitchwoman, selling acceptance and transgender pride as capably as she once sold breakfast cereal.”

Spike TV to Cut Clint Eastwood’s Caitlyn Jenner Joke From Guys’ Choice Awards Telecast

/17 Comments/in , /by

By Alex Stedman. It looks like Spike TV didn’t find Clint Eastwood’s joke about Bruce Jenner during the Guys’ Choice Awards taping on Saturday very funny . . .

During the taping, while presenting “San Andreas” star Dwayne Johnson with a special award, Eastwood compared Johnson to other athletes-turned-actors like “Jim Brown and Caitlyn Somebody.”

Bruce Jenner made his debut as a ‘woman’ on the cover of Vanity Fair last week. The gold-medal Olympian’s transition from male to female will also be featured in an upcoming E! docu-series, “I Am Cait.”

The situation isn’t too different than a controversy that involved the Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber in March. Several jokes about the late Paul Walker were made during the taping while Walker’s “Furious 7″ co-star Ludacris was on the stage, and Comedy Central cut them out of the official broadcast that aired in late March.

Sad Bruce Jenner: ‘I’m a Republican and a Christian’ [+video]

/13 Comments/in , /by

bruce-jenner-e1429542862721After months of speculation that he was transitioning into a woman, Bruce Jenner confirmed the news in an interview with Diane Sawyer that aired on ABC Friday night, clarifying that he is also a Republican and a Christian.

When asked about Barack Obama addressing LGBT rights in his State of the Union, the 65-year-old former Olympic athlete said that didn’t affect him much.

“I’ve always been more on the conservative side,” Jenner said.

Jenner said he is a Christian as well.

“I would sit in church and always wonder, ‘In God’s eyes, how does he see me?’” (Read more from “Sad Bruce Jenner: ‘I’m a Republican and a Christian'” HERE)

The Bruce Jenner Story That Went From Gossip to News

/2 Comments/in , /by

For the last few years, there have been rumors and anonymously sourced tabloid items suggesting that Bruce Jenner, the former Olympic champion and somewhat comically befuddled patriarchal figure on “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” was transitioning from male to female.

The various clues — the growing of his hair into ponytail length, the apparent shaving down of his Adam’s apple, the brightly colored polish on his fingernails — were gleefully reported by gossip websites and some of the more fact-challenged tabloid magazines. One of them, In Touch, even went so far as to superimpose a picture of Mr. Jenner’s head onto the body of the actress Stephanie Beacham, adding red lipstick to his mouth in an attempt to feminize his appearance and better reflect the headline, “Bruce’s Story: My Life as a Woman.”

But, for the most part, the so-called mainstream press has steered clear of this story . . .

Last week, US Weekly put the Jenner news on its cover, with the headline, “Finally, the Truth,” and People magazine is now reaching newsstands with a cover article on Mr. Jenner, headlined, “He Is Finally Happy.” Meanwhile, reports have surfaced that Diane Sawyer of ABC News has lined up an interview with Mr. Jenner for May, shortly before a documentary series about the former athlete’s transformational process is expected to start airing . . .

Mr. Jenner’s mother gave an interview to The National Enquirer this week, saying that she could not be prouder of her son. Kim Kardashian, on “Entertainment Tonight” last week to promote her T-Mobile Super Bowl ad, was thrown a curveball when interviewers asked about what was going on with Bruce. She said that he was the “happiest” she has ever seen him. (Read more about the Bruce Jenner story HERE)
