America. It is time to fight!

Calling all Americans. Especially those who have taken an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States of America from enemies both domestic and foreign. The time has come when you are being called upon once more to serve your country. The enemy causing the most danger to our Constitutional Republic is domestic. They are right here, among us. They are in every hall of power in every city, town, county, state and federal. They are traitors. They are oath breakers. They are in every town. They are your neighbors. You have seen them. Their leftist stickers on their cars. Their Biden signs in their yards last election. You will recognize them. You will hear their words.

America, it is time to stop this madness. President Obama, oops I meant President Biden, stated today that he wanted to vaccinate 28 million kids aged 5 to 11. Yes, he is planning to do this but promising smaller needles! As soon as the CDC etc. has cleared the drug for these innocent soon to be victims ( a foregone conclusion) the Biden Administration plans on making these vaccinations available at schools and pediatricians and other doctors offices. How convenient. How gracious. How kind and benevolent. NOT!

Do any of you out there doubt at all that the schools and the staff will not pressure these kids into taking the shot regardless to the parents wishes? That they won’t make unvaccinated kids feel like second class citizens? If you do you are crazy. It means you have no idea about the leftist agenda. I know, though, that my readers do not fall into this category!!

Do you realize that children in this age group are more likely to be murdered than die of Covid? I back this statement up with the statistic just out of Chicago that more children in that age group and lower have been killed by gunfire in Chicago this year than have died in the whole of the United States this year of Covid. Read that again. More children have died of gunfire in Chicago than have died of Covid in the whole United States of America. 

Then we are faced with these insane vaccine mandates in a lot of blue cities, counties and states in our beloved constitutional republic.

Tens of thousands of good, hard-working Americans, many first responders, many single parents etc. will face the real possibility of losing their jobs and the benefits that go with them, because of the insistence of these insane leftist leaders who insist that these employees put something into their body, unconstitutionally, that they do not want, doesn’t work as described, doesn’t protect and is truthfully untested. Many of these first responders were supposedly heroes during the whole Covid pandemic, putting themselves in harms way to treat everybody regardless of politics. Now they are being rewarded with the possibility of losing their jobs and everything that goes with them.

Just yesterday the crazy New York governor, leftist and dictatorial style ego driven Kathy Hochul, commenting on the death of former Secretary of State Colin Powell, used his death to score a political point. She said that although he was extremely sick with the ending stages of cancer, somebody who was unvaccinated had given him Covid and thereby been the final cause of his death.

This statement in itself is absolutely 100% scientifically incorrect. These liberals know what they are saying is wrong. They know they are lying but just do not care. The socialist main stream media will never pick them up or say anything to disprove them. It is well known that even vaccinated people can catch, pass and die from Covid. Heck, they are making up a huge proportion of hospital admittances. These evil, sick, treasonous people worship directly at the altar of Dr. Fauci, the devil and the satanic New World order.

America, the way to help cure this madness is to have mass walkouts. Walkouts and stoppages from every industry especially those with vaccine mandates. These people will need protection from rogue cops and federal officers who either didn’t mean anything when they took their oath and leftist counter protestors.

Whether you are vaccinated or not, you should be on the side of the constitutional rights of everybody in this country to freely choose whether or not they want to put an untested vaccine into their bodies. You should be on the side of all those parents that do not want the children to be vaccinated. The massive majority of those parents are not anti- vaccine, their kids have had all the other normal vaccines, but they know the risk of danger, real and unknown future, to the lives of the children in that age group is much greater from the vaccination than any other issue.

The dishonesty from the left is so in your face. I can remember Kamala Harris saying she could not trust the vaccine because it has been developed under President Trump. As soon as criminal family crime boss Joe Biden became president, the vaccine was just the answer to everything. Even though everything they have told us from the very beginning of this pandemic, from the lockdown would only be a couple weeks to you need a shot, no make that two, whoops no make that three and then one every eight months possibly, to masking and social distancing, they have proven to be unscientific, unproven and wrong. Yet they continue with that incorrect message – deliberately. Trust me, nothing you are seeing is unplanned. Nothing. They want nothing more than a one party state where big government runs and controls your life from cradle to grave.

With the huge advances in China and Russian military and the threats being faced in Iran we cannot afford to lower our guard. We have seen over 1.7 million illegal immigrants flooding across our southern border since Biden stole the election, we have seen Iran flaunting the fact that they are producing and are very close to ending up with nuclear weapons, with Taiwan being threatened by China and our military constantly being diminished in appearance and operational functionality by this Administration, with crime rising exponentially every where Democrats are in charge and with our economy in great risk of collapse due to hyper inflation and a messed up supply chain, we cannot afford these lunatics and extremists to win this battle. Believe me, this battle is the final battle for the survival of our beloved nation.

We need to fight the new program where the banks would first report every incoming or outgoing $600 you have to the IRS, which they now have made $10,000. However, that is $10,000 a year in total. Even poor people putting $500 a month into or through their bank accounts, would be reported to the IRS. They say it is to make the rich more honest in their tax reporting but it is going to affect every single person with a bank account in the United States. It is all about control. Control and power.

It’s time to fight America.

Wokeism is communism. It’s that simple.

It is time to gird your loins and stand up and fight. Fight everything the left is trying to do. Fight CRT, the terrible woke education programs, illegal immigration, the LGBTQUI agenda, mail in voting, vaccine mandates and masking. Fight every dang thing. Fight like your kids lives are on the line because they are.

If we cannot win this battle the next step would be civil war and/or a breakup of the Union.

Open Letter: To The Arizona Attorney General

TO:    Attorney General Mark Brnovich

2005 N Central Avenue

Phoenix, AZ 85004

Dear Attorney General Brnovich,

To suggest citizens across the country are mad over the findings of the last national election would be a great understatement. The level of anger and disgust is not only quite real but increasingly quite evident, something many elected officials still are underestimating. There is a mind-set among public officials the public will get over their “Trump Syndrome Remorse” as other life matters take center stage. Quite the reverse, as more evidence mounts of the complete chaos in America deliberately introduced by the Biden crowd, that much more anger rises to the surface from otherwise historically agreeable citizens. As more evidence surfaces across counties and states that election fraud occurred in their jurisdictions, as well as what has been publicized in Arizona, the level of anger and sense of acute betrayal also surfaces with citizens, and they are now demanding answers! Few are the elected officials willing to stand and un-hesitantly formally petition for full and complete investigations into election fraud. Fewer yet are those elected officials willing to say what Americans across the country are thinking, and a growing number are saying. Below is an article from Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers published today, 10/20/21, that depicts what I mean:

LD6 SEN. WENDY ROGERS: Now the Maricopa audit showed the extent of the fraud and issues in 2020. Over 284,000 ballots in Maricopa County are missing their original corresponding image- one out of every 10 Maricopa County ballots. During my interview last week on Victory Channel’s Flash Point, I called for arrests in Arizona as evidence was brought forward during a Sept 24 State Senate hearing, revealing in part, that three different individuals reportedly deleted data, in regards to the 2020 general election. Elections have consequences and stolen elections have worse consequences. We’re the only State that’s done a deep dive, a cyber forensic audit of 2.1 million ballots. We had the final hearing on Sept 24. It’s now in the hands of our Arizona Attorney General [Mark] Brnovich. I have been leaning very strongly on him to make arrests. We have imagery of three different individuals who deleted data. This is evidence that was put forward on Sept 23, she explained. During the Arizona Senate hearing, Ben Cotton of CyFir– revealed that election results were purged from the EMS the day before the forensic audit began. Moreover, during a hearing in the House Oversight and Reform Committee on Oct 7, Maricopa County Board of Supervisor officials admitted under oath, that they deleted election data after they received a subpoena from the Arizona State Senate. I want to see the Maricopa Board, Dem Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, and Adrian Fontes in cuffs – throw away the keys. That is the standard for what happened to us. They had the audacity to brag about their lawbreaking to the media. We know what happened in Maricopa. Now we need to pursue the offenders. Arrests seem appropriate here.

Evidence has surfaced, and more appears to be on the horizon, that serious crimes were committed to deliberately alter and steal the last national election. Furthermore…evidence appears, at least in Maricopa County, Arizona, that several county officials were complicit in covering up purported election crimes, and tampering with the investigation itself! What citizen would be allowed to get away with such behavior? What position or right do public officials have that allows them to commit acts against State and Constitutional Law, and then simply walk away without consequences? Are the citizens allowed that same ability, that same privilege; of course not! The Arizona Attorney General has a mammoth decision to make most likely several. Is there more than sufficient verifiable evidence stemming from the forensic evaluation in Maricopa County to bring charges against those identified as participants in crime(s) connected with the last national election? If such evidence exists to the preponderance of formal law enforcement action taken, will the Arizona Attorney General have the strength of character to do such; to effect the arrests of those directly involved regardless of their public title or office?

Mr. Attorney General, you, sir, are in a most difficult position. But you also have the once in a life-time privilege of correcting a heinous wrong, a deliberate attack on our electoral process that severely damaged one of the most sacred privileges we have in America – to freely elect leaders we believe are in the best interest of our nation and We The People. The entire country is truly watching, not merely half-interested but fully invested in the outcome of this investigation begun a year ago in November, 2020. Mr. Attorney General, Senator Roger’s statement is clear, direct, and not concerned with political correctness, but truth addressing a heinous act of treason against our nationally historical privilege to freely choose our representatives by holding free and untampered elections, not at all similar to Marxist countries who fully “get” what took place in several states during the last national election, and are smiling. Sir…I pray you are not smiling but soberly going after the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God. Then stepping up and confronting the offenders with consequences.

Signed

‘There Is No Need To Worry About China’s Space Nukes,’ Says Jen Psaki From Irradiated, Super Mutant-Covered Wasteland

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Journalists love Jen Psaki’s laid-back, smiling, down-to-earth demeanor, as it keeps us all calm in a time with many tough challenges. So reporters were relieved when Psaki informed them that we do not need to worry about China’s space nukes during a press conference held in an irradiated wasteland crawling with super mutants, deathclaws, and giant bloodbugs.

“There is currently no need to worry about China’s nukes—we welcome the competition,” Psaki said, smiling, as she swatted a giant mutant bug flying near her head. “Right-wing fearmongers want you to think this is a big deal, but it’s not. China getting ready to invade Taiwan and developing technology that can nuke the whole world is nothing to be concerned about at this time.”

Secret Service agents then had to dive in the way to stop her from getting shot by a group of marauding raiders.

“There is no war in Ba Sing—I mean, in Washington, D.C. Everything is fine.”

The press conference was briefly interrupted when some warring vault clans passed through, firing at each other with laser guns, mini-nukes, and pipe guns. But as they trudged off over the horizon in their power armor, Psaki resumed the press conference, circling back to everything she said she’d circle back to.

“Now, does anyone want a cookie? It gives you 15 HP and only 3 rads.”

The ‘Equality’ Blues: Feminists Cry Foul When Boys’ Netball Team Wins Girls’ Tournament

Gosh, has anyone ever really believed in Equality™?

The Queensland Suns won the Nissan State under-18 netball tournament last month, and the wrath of many, by easily defeating seven other teams. The issue? The Suns are sons — not daughters like the rest of their competitors.

Netball is a variation on basketball played in many Commonwealth countries. The game also apparently doesn’t have many male competitors in Australia, which is why the Suns were allowed to compete with the lasses. As Netball Queensland, the organization running the Nissan tournament, stated, it was choosing “inclusion over exclusion.”

For a little background, this is an example of the chickens coming home to roost for the feminist clucking hens. We’ve long had a Title IX-based standard in the United States dictating “that members of the underrepresented gender [“sex” is the proper word, do note] be permitted to play on teams provided for the overrepresented gender or that separate teams in that sport be created for underrepresented gender,” as the Women’s Sports Foundation puts it.

From a practical standpoint, this initially meant that girls would be trying out for boys’ teams, not vice versa, as decades ago there were few if any athletic endeavors in which females were numerically dominant and male opportunity was lacking. But this has changed, and feminists have soured on “equality” now that it less often means “special advantage.”

Australia also apparently has a Title IX-like standard; hence the Suns crushing of the daughters. Yet this thrashing inspired not only condemnation and vulgar comments directed at the boys from some parents during the final game (shameful), but also some caterwauling from a women’s sports advocate, seen in the video below.

First note that it’s intolerant of the guest, Katherine Deves, to assume the Suns’ players’ “gender,” though they do seem to be youthful, non-menstruating sentient bipeds. We also should applaud these people without uteruses for their bravery in putting themselves out there and breaking down barriers.

You go, non-menstruating sentient biped!

Of course, the wokesters absolutely would be praising the Suns for bravery if the latter overtly identified as girls and wore dresses, a phenomenon whose genesis can also be blamed on the feminists and their enablers (as I explained here).

But because the boys are apparently normal, they get very different treatment. Deves actually said that they “should have forfeited” while, ironically, attributing their presence to “male entitlement.”

Well, let’s talk about entitlement. I’m well aware of the intersex athletics performance gap (in the 800-meter run, the 14-year-old boys’ record is better than the women’s world record). But here’s the problem: It would’ve been one thing if those advocating girls’ entry into boys’ athletics had simply said, “Look, because guys are far better at sports, it can’t hurt giving girls a shot at their teams.” (I still would have disagreed.) But that wasn’t the argument.

It was “Equality!”

Whether it was allowing women into the Virginia Military Institute or the Citadel or onto police and fire departments, pushing for equal prize money at tennis’s Grand Slam events or greater pay for our women’s national soccer team (which lost to 14-year-old boys), or a multitude of other “glass ceiling” efforts, “equality” was the rallying cry.

“I am woman! Hear me roar!” was the spirit; “There’s not a single thing a man can do that a woman can’t do as well or better,” to quote Sleepy Joe Biden. It was chest-thumping and fist-pumping.

It was also completely phony.

We’d hear about how there weren’t enough women on corporate boards, but not how there weren’t enough female garbage collectors; there’d be complaints about how actresses didn’t earn as much as actors, but not about how female fashions models command far more income than their male counterparts. It was never about equality. It was always about power and prestige.

Of course, the Equality Ploy was employed because the social engineers correctly figured that if they acknowledged the sexes’ inherent differences and that men are stronger and faster, they’d lose the argument for identical treatment. They’d be tacitly admitting that there are two different standards because there are two different sexes.

So they lied, at least to themselves, because reality refuted their aims.

And now they’re shocked that their equality dogma is being applied to them. That’s entitlement, babe.

By the way, in 2012, a 13-year-old boy named Keeling Pilaro had for two years been a member of Southampton High School girls’ field hockey team. Finally, however, Suffolk County, NY, officials stated that Keeling — a 4’8”, 82-pound towhead who was dwarfed by his more physically mature female teammates — couldn’t participate because his superior skills gave him an unfair advantage. As I wrote at the time, “When justifying a girl’s presence on boys’ teams, we’re told all that matters is that she’s good enough. But when the roles are reversed, the standard changes: The boy must be bad enough.”

So all I’ll say to the Suns is, you go, boy! After all, “The best way to get a bad law [or social standard] repealed is to enforce it strictly,” the quotation goes. And as H. L. Mencken might say, the feminists wanted equality — and they deserve to get it good and hard.

COVID-19 Diagnoses 5 Times More Likely Among Youth Who Ever Vaped

7 times more likely among youth who ever vaped and ever smoked cigarettes.


Shivani Mathur Gaiha, Jing Cheng, and Bonnie Halpern-Felsher wanted to know if cigarette use and/or e-cigarette use had an impact on COVID-19 symptoms, testing, and diagnosis. An online survey of 4,351 young people ages 13 to 24 was conducted in May 2020.

They found COVID-19 diagnoses were 5 times more likely among ever-users of e-cigarettes only, 7 times more likely among ever-dual users, and 6.8 times more likely among past 30-day dual users.

They conclude that COVID-19 is associated with youth use of e-cigarettes by themselves and use of both cigarettes and e-cigarettes together. This suggests the need for screening and education, they say.

Association Between Youth Smoking, Electronic Cigarette Use, and COVID-19

Abstract

Purpose

This study aimed to assess whether youth cigarette and electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use are associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms, testing, and diagnosis.

Methods

An online national survey of adolescents and young adults (n = 4,351) aged 13–24 years was conducted in May 2020. Multivariable logistic regression assessed relationships among COVID-19–related symptoms, testing, and diagnosis and cigarettes only, e-cigarettes only and dual use, sociodemographic factors, obesity, and complying with shelter-in-place.

Results

COVID-19 diagnosis was five times more likely among ever-users of e-cigarettes only (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.82–13.96), seven times more likely among ever-dual-users (95% CI: 1.98–24.55), and 6.8 times more likely among past 30-day dual-users (95% CI: 2.40–19.55). Testing was nine times more likely among past 30-day dual-users (95% CI: 5.43–15.47) and 2.6 times more likely among past 30-day e-cigarette only users (95% CI: 1.33–4.87). Symptoms were 4.7 times more likely among past 30-day dual-users (95% CI: 3.07–7.16).

Conclusions

COVID-19 is associated with youth use of e-cigarettes only and dual use of e-cigarettes and cigarettes, suggesting the need for screening and education.

A Brilliant Philosopher Explains Why The World Is Going Absolutely Bonkers

The transgender revolution is just one facet of the larger revolution of the self in the Western world.


Carl R. Trueman is a church historian, professor of biblical and religious studies at a conservative Christian College in Pennsylvania and an established writer. Trueman presents the genesis of this book very simply in the book’s opening line: “The origins of this book lie in my curiosity about how and why a particular statement has come to be regarded as coherent and meaningful: ‘I am a woman trapped in a man’s body.’”

Only a short time ago very few people would have been greatly perplexed by such a statement, and yet it has become normalised. Trueman seeks to show how it is that society has arrived at a point where such a statement can be taken seriously. It is common knowledge that the proximate origins of transgenderism lie in the sexual revolution of the 1960s, but Trueman is of the conviction that the sexual revolution of the 1960s alone is insufficient to explain our cultural malaise. Rather, “the sexual revolution is simply one manifestation of the larger revolution of the self that has taken place in the West.”

And it is only by understanding the causes of the “revolution of the self” that we will “understand the dynamics of the sexual politics that now dominate our culture”. This leads him to trace its genesis much further back, to our culture’s pathological turn towards “inwardness” beginning in the Enlightenment with Rousseau, and from there through the Romantics, Freud and the New Left.

Architecture of the Revolution

The work is divided into four sections. In the first section of the book, “Architecture of the Revolution”, Trueman presents key concepts from the work of three recent or contemporary philosophers who shape a great deal of his own thought. These core concepts are tools which allow Trueman to analyse and understand the “architecture” of the sexual revolution.

In the first place there is the Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor, author of Sources of the Self (1989) and A Secular Age (2007). He has worked on the concept of “the social imaginary”: the largely unconscious set of intuitions and practices which shape a society’s understanding of the world, and so of what a society imagines the world to be. Trueman wishes to explore how the social imaginary of contemporary society has been shaped by the philosophers and the overall culture since the Enlightenment. He also uses Taylor’s distinction between a mimetic culture (one which broadly speaking sees creatures, and in particular man, as having a defined and objective nature), and a poietic culture (in which man’s creativity is taken to trump any intrinsic nature).

Another key idea which he takes from Taylor’s work, is that of “expressive individualism”. This is the view that the Enlightenment and its successor movement Romanticism have bequeathed us the linked aspirations to radical autonomy on the one hand and (perhaps paradoxically) an expressive unity with nature and society on the other. In the LGBTQ+ movement this “expressive individualism” translates into the premium placed on one’s right on the one hand, to define one’s own identity and on the other hand to embrace a wider moral structure which extols victimhood. For Trueman, Taylor’s contributions on the nature of self and the “the social imaginary,” “allow for answers to the question of why certain identities (e.g., LGBTQ+) enjoy great cachet today while others (e.g. religious conservatives) are increasingly marginalized”.

The second philosopher he draws from is Philip Rieff, who I have to admit I’d never heard of before, much less read. Rieff (1922-2006) was an American sociologist and cultural critic, whose concepts such as the triumph of the therapeutic, psychological man, the anti-culture, and deathworks are used extensively by Trueman. For Rieff we are living in a “Third World” by which he means a culture which rejects the traditional sacred foundations of social order and moral imperatives and adopts instead only self-referential foundations. (Sacred foundations are found in the “First World” of antiquity, and in the “Second World” – primarily the Christian West).

In this Third World the only criterion for ethical action is whether an act conduces to the feeling of well-being. This over-riding need for well-being of necessity produces a therapeutic culture.

For Trueman, “The triumph of the therapeutic represents the advent of the expressive individual as the normative type of human being and of the relativizing of all meaning and truth to personal taste.”

The third philosopher he uses is the Scot Alasdair MacIntyre, whose critique of emotivist ethics contained in his influential 1981 work After Virtue ties in very well with the findings of Taylor and Rieff.

MacIntyre convincingly shows that modern ethical discourse is in relativist chaos because it has rejected the two concepts without which there can be no ethics: virtue and tradition. As a consequence, “the language of morality as now used is really nothing more than the language of personal preference based on nothing more rational or objective than sentiments and feelings.”

And so, when push comes to shove, something is wrong because that’s the way I feel about it. For Trueman, “These insights are extremely helpful in understanding both the fruitless nature and the extreme polarizing rhetoric of many of the great moral debates of our time, not least those surrounding matters of sex and identity.”

Foundations of the Revolution

The second section of the book –“Foundations of the Revolution” – takes the reader through the thought of influential theorists and writers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, beginning with the strange radical Enlightenment figure Jean-Jacques Rousseau. His focus on the inward psychological life and the baneful influence of society and culture on the self has become a commonplace today. “It should … be clear that some such construction of freedom and selfhood as that offered by Rousseau is at work in the modern transgender movement.”

Unexpectedly – for me at least – the Romantics Wordsworth, Shelley and Blake turn out also to be highly influential in the fashioning of the Western notion of the self. Where they fit in is through their expressivism and in this they are faithful followers of Rousseau: the problem is civilisation and the solution is nature. It is the job of the artist to transform society, releasing it from the shackles of social conventions in general and sexual social conventions in particular.

Top of the target list is the normative status of lifelong, monogamous marriage. “While he would no doubt have retched at the thought, William Wordsworth stands near the head of a path that leads to Hugh Hefner and Kim Kardashian.”

Finally we come to the “emergence of plastic people” – the idea that “man can make and remake personal identity at will”, eliminating the traditional conception of a human nature which authoritatively defines what we are. This of course is something we have become all too familiar with in the 21st Century, but are we aware of the origins of this Promethean view in Nietzsche, Marx, Freud and Darwin?

Nietzsche was the one who ingeniously exposed polite bourgeois Enlightenment morality for a murder of God. He always took this murder to the logical conclusion that man’s task is self-creation. Similarly for Marx, human nature is a plastic thing, moulded in his view by the economic structure of society.

Finally, Darwin’s contribution to the 19th Century’s destruction of the idea of human nature was to remove the concept of teleology from nature and replace it with a process of blind and accidental adaptations over vast periods of time. The upshot of these theories is that: “the world in itself has no meaning; meaning and significance can thus be given to it only by the actions of human beings…”.

This is Taylor’s movement from mimesis to poiesis: “If society/culture is merely a construct, and if nature possesses no intrinsic meaning or purpose, then what meaning there is must be created by human beings themselves.”

Sexualization of the Revolution

Part 3, “Sexualization of the Revolution” explores Sigmund Freud’s pivotal role in sexualising psychology and how this sexualised psychology was in turn politicised in a Marxist direction by Wilhelm Reich and Herbert Marcuse. Freud, says Trueman, is “arguably the key figure in the narrative of this book”. His influence went way beyond the realm of psychoanalysis, and into other areas such as art, literature and advertising.

Freud’s great myth is that man’s quest for happiness is of necessity a quest for sexual satisfaction: “The purpose of life, and the content of the good life, is personal sexual fulfilment.” Civilisation with its restrictive moral codes – in a Rousseauian fashion – stands in the way of his fulfilled sexual desires, and so the individual must make a trade off: allowing some of their individual desires to go unfulfilled in exchange for socially organised security.

The curbing of sexual desire is what makes society possible, though at the expense of a certain degree of individual discontentment; other non-sexual avenues such as religion or art are pursued to redress the non-fulfilment of sexual desires. For Freud the two great problems in education were the “retardation of sexual development and premature religious experience” reflecting not only his sexualised concept of the person but also his deep animus towards religion.

Trueman follows this with a discussion of “the shotgun wedding of Marx and Freud”: that is the Marxist spin put on Freud’s sexualising of psychology. The two most important thinkers in this regard are the eccentric Wilhelm Reich and Herbert Marcuse.

For Reich, writing in the 1930s and 1940s, “sexual codes are part of the ideology of the governing class, designed to maintain the status quo so as to benefit those in power”, namely the authoritarian patriarchy and the sex-negating church. The primary political enemy is the patriarchal family, and the sexuality of children is the means to undermine the family.

Marcuse was a product of the Frankfurt School and his writings in the 1950s and 1960s were standard fare for the student revolutionaries of 1968. For Marcuse sexual codes are foundational to the structure of society, and so “Sex focused on procreation and family is the repressive weapon of bourgeois capitalist society. And free love and untrammeled sexual experimentation are a central part of the revolutionary liberation of society.” Incidentally in Marcuse we find a remarkable justification for the imposition of “rigid restrictions” on free speech, and in this he is certainly a precursor of the contemporary cancel culture.

Trueman also considers the role played by Simone de Beauvoir’s radical feminism in reducing sex to a social construct, and biology to a tyranny.

Triumphs of the Revolution

In the fourth and final part of the book, “Triumphs of the Revolution”, Trueman now goes on to show how our modern Western culture is to a large degree the child of the of the philosophical currents outlined in the previous two parts of the book. He looks at how these currents of thought have triumphed in three areas: the erotic, the therapeutic and transgender.

Firstly, he shows how art – especially (following the thought of philosopher Augusto Del Noce) the surrealist movement – became eroticised; and how mainstream culture has been gradually pornified since the early 1970s. The consequences of pornography have been profound: “Pornography and the pornification of pop culture has been critical to the destruction of sexual norms, to the reinforcement of an expressive individualist view of selfhood, and to the transformation of the West.”

Secondly the therapeutic view of man is reflected in the legal changes (in the US) regarding the definition of marriage, and abortion rights – both of which are articulations of expressive individualism where it is the right of persons “to define their own concept of existence” (in the infamous words of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy).

Its clearest exponent today is perhaps the Princeton philosopher Peter Singer. He rejects traditional liberal arguments for abortion as unsound. He refuses to use notions based on human essence or human exceptionalism. Instead, he grounds all moral debate entirely on psychological well-being, and in this he is emblematic of the triumph of the therapeutic.

This same therapeutic mentality is to be found also on the university campus in its greatly altered evaluation of the past: where once academia viewed the past as a source of wisdom now it is a tale of oppression: “Denying free speech on campus is simply an extension of seeing all history as a hegemonic discourse designed to keep the powerful in power and to marginalize and silence the weak.”

Thirdly there is the triumph of transgenderism. Trueman first of all discusses the forced nature of the LGBTQ+ alliance, showing how great social, economic, biological and philosophical differences separate lesbians and gays in particular. Despite this, it was a shared sense of victimhood – a key Marxist category – which finally united these disparate groups.

The transgender dimension fits here as another victim of the socially and politically enforced heterosexual normativity so inimical to a sense of psychological well-being. At the same time the LGBTQ+ movement is built on a fundamental incoherence, for “If gender is a construct, then so are all those categories based on it – heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality.” Nevertheless, what we see in this movement is the most extreme form to date of the triumph of poiesis over mimesis – the triumph of the will over reality.

In conclusion, Trueman sums up by saying that the anti-culture which has been created is “the result of a world that has accepted the challenge of Nietzsche’s madman, to remake value and meaning in the wake of the death – indeed, the killing – of the Christian God, or, indeed, of any god.”

Though the LGBTQ+ movement does seek to emphasize the dignity of the individual, it does so on the basis of expressive individualism rather than on any divine or sacred foundation. Furthermore, Trueman warns against defending traditional sexual mores without regard to the overall cultural question. Abortion, divorce, sexual licence, pornography etc are all manifestations of the pathological expressive individualism at the core of the anti-culture.

Trueman suggests that “the church” (by which he means Christians in general) will manage to resist and overcome the anti-culture if it is attentive to three things. Firstly it must be aware that this anti-culture has made huge strides because increasingly people are swung by images, emotions, sympathy and empathy rather than ideas and doctrine. Christians must assert her doctrine but they must do so attractively.

Secondly the church must give witness to genuine community in the face of so many ersatz communities. And thirdly, as Trueman says, “Protestants need to recover both natural law and a high view of the physical body.” We have, he says, a precedent for our current malaise in the plight of persecuted Christians of the 2nd Century. How did they do it? “By existing as a close-knit, doctrinally bounded community that required her members to act consistently with their faith and to be good citizens of the earthly city…”

My only quibble with the book is that Trueman explicitly directs it at Christians. I wonder was this necessary given that perhaps he is inadvertently and unnecessarily shrinking his readership. The arguments in the book are always philosophical, sociological and historical. Faith is not a prerequisite to accepting his arguments. Perhaps the author simply feels (perhaps correctly) that outside of the Christian community he will simply not receive a hearing for arguments which run so counter to current sexual mores.

However, the book scores very highly under number of headings. In the first place the question the book sets out to answer is a question any thinking person must be asking themselves in the face of the worldwide triumph of the LGBTQ+ movement: How did we get here, and so quickly?

Secondly, Trueman’s conviction that the “acceptance of gay marriage and transgenderism are simply the latest outworking, the most recent symptoms, of deep and long-established cultural pathologies” is a very wise. It strikes me that many of those involved in the so-called “culture wars” do so with at best a very superficial knowledge of the cultural roots of woke ideology, and as a result they take on the appearance of reactionaries. Trueman considers “that giving an accurate account of one’s opponents’ views, however obnoxious one may consider them to be, is vital, and never more so than in our age of cheap Twitter insults and casual slanders.…There is nothing to be gained from refuting a straw man.”

Thirdly, Trueman’s choice of intellectual tools in the insights of Rieff, Taylor and MacIntyre is well made. He adeptly uses the complex intellectual keys they have fashioned in order to understand the intellectual forces which have created the modern notion of the self.

Fourthly, the book completely avoids falling into the kind of lamentation which dominates much conservative and Christian polemic against modernity. This book is, in the words of Rod Dreher, “a sophisticated survey and analysis of cultural history by a sophisticated teacher”.

Fifthly, his prose style is completely lucid throughout, and he very ably synthesises and explains complex philosophical arguments, especially those of Philip Rieff, Charles Taylor, and Alasdair MacIntyre. Trueman does the reader a great service in distilling their insights into comprehensible prose and so making their invaluable insights quite accessible.

Finally, though Trueman is a member of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church he is in no way sectarian and is quite happy to make substantial use of very Catholic thinkers such as Thomas Aquinas and even John Paul II. (He calls John Paul II’s Man and Woman He Created Them: A Theology of the Body the best work on the body from a Christian perspective.)

So if, like Trueman, you find yourself asking how is it that our culture accepts as credible that a person can be trapped in the body of the opposite sex, then this book is for you. Incidentally in February 2022, Crossway will publish a shorter, and more accessible work by Trueman on the same topic: Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution.

Support For Climate Change Skyrockets After Computer Models Show It Will Flood California

U.S.—A new climate model shows that much of southern California will be underwater in the future as a result of uninhibited climate change. These stark images have had a profound effect on public opinion, causing a huge spike in support for climate change.

“You mean, just by driving around in my gas guzzler, I could flood all the homes of those coastal elites?” asked Greg Butler, who lives in rural Kansas. “Cool! Why am I still talking to you? I should be driving!”

“I don’t even believe in climate change,” said Evelyn Klein of Boise, Idaho, “but now I hope it’s real. So what do I do to help it along? Eat more meat? I can do that!”

This pro-climate-change attitude has alarmed many rich, left-wing Californians. “You stupid redneck hicks,” said Hollywood producer Alan Stevenson. “Don’t you understand? You all need to make huge, personal sacrifices or my beachfront property is ruined!”

Still, in middle America, there is a newfound vigor for helping climate change, with everyone trying to do their part. And if someone doesn’t have the time or ability to add to climate change, they can now buy carbon credits — money that goes toward people cutting down trees to help add more carbon to the air.

Instead Of Kryptonite, New LGBTQ+ Superman Will Be Crippled By Anyone Using Wrong Pronouns

BURBANK, CA—The brilliant and courageous writers at DC Comics have announced that Superman is now gay, and his pronouns are they/them as he is also non-binary. Now, instead of Kryptonite, he will be rendered completely powerless by anyone who addresses him using the wrong pronouns.

“I’ll finally defeat Superman! He’s such a liberal snowflake!” says right-wing transphobe Lex Luthor to reporters in the latest issue.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” cries gay Superman in response as he withers to the ground in shrieks of agony. “I’m non-binary! It should be ‘THEY is such a snowflake!’ EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”

Writers confirmed that gay Superman will gay-save the world and gay-stop hate crimes with his gay superpowers. He will be completely impervious to Kryptonite but will be powerless against right-wing talk show hosts and trans-exclusionary radical feminist authors. First and foremost, he will be very, very gay.

“We are so proud to break new ground with this stunning, brave, totally expected, and culturally fashionable change to the Superman character,” said writer Tom Taylor. “We look forward to selling dozens and dozens of copies.”

Vaccine Tyranny Ignites Brushfires of Freedom

“It does not take a majority to prevail… but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.” – Samuel Adams

“If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” – George Washington

“Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life, secondly to liberty, and thirdly to property; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can.” – Samuel Adams

“Better to fight for something than live for nothing.” –  Gen. George S. Patton.


If you missed Cherie Zaslawsky’s amazing article on Newswithviews, Preaching Beyond the Choir, she has been busy writing to local newspapers in order to reach people who never hear the truth.  I took her suggestions to heart.

Last week, I called a local radio program to tell them about the studies regarding ivermectin, and that it’s not just a horse dewormer, and it’s certainly not just a monthly heart worm treatment for dogs.  I told them that over 30 studies have proven that ivermectin has a 100% prophylactic prevention of acquisition of Sars-coV-2.  The wonder drug that originated in Japan doesn’t just treat parasites or worms in animals, it actually cures River Blindness.  It also has 22 mechanisms of action against Sars-coV-2, has seven or eight anti-viral mechanisms and it has multiple immune modification mechanisms.

When I hung up, the radio host said to the audience that this is not medical advice, and to check with their own doctors.  We know the majority of physicians are following the NIH, CDC, FDA and AMA protocols and will not prescribe this life saving drug for fear of losing their licenses. Another caller stated it’s better for us if we get the jab and be safe.  And the program ended.

Group think, lemmings and sheep…how do we get them to see the truth?

Dr. Michael Yeadon, former top scientist and VP of Pfizer said we have to share to get the ball rolling, and you don’t need to be a scientist or give an essay on science, you just need to tell people that things don’t feel right.  Talk to people on the street, your neighbors, your friends.  If you don’t, he says, “Eventually there’ll be a knock on your door and someone will be there saying, ‘You have to be vaccinated.’ And I’m frightened of that.”

Mass Censorship

Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of mRNA vaccines, says he was branded a “terrorist” by the media in Italy and warns that physicians who echo the truth are being “hunted via medical boards and the press.”  Despite concerns regarding adverse effects and even death from the Covid jabs being regularly voiced by doctors, the Federation of State Medical Boards announced in July that it would consider pulling medical licenses of doctors who traffic in “misinformation” about Sars-coV-2.

There are a large number of physicians and scientists who have spoken out about the virus.  Our Pravda media and Big Tech networks have censored every one of them, but it hasn’t stopped the truth.  We know who these courageous men and women are and we pray for each of them knowing that they are being hunted by the press, branded as terrorists and threatened with the loss of their licenses.  We’re already aware of the massive losses Dr. Peter McCullough has suffered, including a lawsuit by a former employer.

These men and women are warriors for truth.  (AFLDS.org and FLCCC.net)  Pay Pal recently shut down FLCCC’s platform.

Physicians and Scientists Speak

In the following 45-minute video, eight prominent physicians and scientists talk about  inoculations for Sars-coV-2.

Video Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IeVy7jQoz0

Dr. Pierre Kory is a pulmonary and critical care specialist and the President of Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC.net). He has testified in Congress about the effectiveness of ivermectin as both a prophylactic and a Sars-coV-2 early cure.  Dr. Kory said, “I don’t believe there’s anyone who died (from Covid) who got effective early treatment.”

Dr. Richard Urso, a scientist and ophthalmalogist and the Former Director of Orbital Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center, stated, “People don’t die of the virus, they die of inflammation and thrombosis.  And we have drugs for inflammation that are not off-label, as well as drugs for thrombosis.”

Dr. Robert Malone has exposed the dangers of the mRNA Covid jab.  A major contributor to the invention of mRNA technology, Dr. Malone is highly qualified to discuss the potential side effects of mRNA injections.  And he has spoken about the dangers of this foolish mass vaccination program.  Link

Thirty peer reviewed studies show the efficacy of natural immunity, being denied by the fools who listen to Fauci and his buddies who want you vaxxed…their pockets are enlarged and the vaxxed are sick or dying.

Malone previously warned about the risk of Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE) that causes the virus to become more infectious.  He has even called for a stop to the COVID-19 jab rollout.  The latest podcast featuring Dr. Malone helped dispel another mainstream media lie regarding the “Pandemic of the Unvaccinated” narrative that Biden repeats. Unvaccinated individuals are called “super-spreaders” and blamed for the latest wave of infections.  According to Dr. Malone, the opposite is true.  In fact, the fully vaccinated are the “super-spreaders.”

Harvard research confirms what we’ve been saying for months.  There is not evidentiary correlation between cases and vaccination rates.

Dr. Ryan Cole is a Mayo Clinic board certified clinical and anatomic pathologist and Chief Medical Officer and Laboratory Director of Cole Diagnostics, a full-service medical lab in Boise, Idaho.  The Idaho Medical Association asked the state board to stop Dr. Cole from prescribing ivermectin.  He has refused to use the “accepted protocol” from the FDA, CDC, NIH, AMA and other state agencies that deny the decades old parasitic medication to patients.

Cole Diagnostics processes and reports out approximately 40,000 blood and biopsy patient samples annually.  In the last year, the lab has handled over 100,000 Covid testing samples.  It is the biggest independent testing lab in Idaho and has described how the mRNA shots have caused serious autoimmune disorders.

Cole explained that two types of cells are required for adequate immune system function: “Helper T-cells,” also called “CD4 cells,” and “killer T-cells,” often known as “CD8 cells.”  According to Cole, in patients with HIV, there is a massive suppression of “helper T-cells” which cause immune system functions to plummet, and leave the patient susceptible to a variety of illnesses.

He describes that what we’re seeing post-vaccine is a drop in killer T-cells in your CD8 cells.  And what do those cells do?  They keep all other viruses in check. Cole explains that as a result of this “clot-shot” induced “killer T-cell” suppression, he is seeing an “uptick” of not only endometrial cancer, but also melanomas, as well as herpes, shingles, mono, and a “huge uptick” in HPV when “looking at the cervical biopsies of women.”

The unvaccinated are looking smarter and smarter every week. Link

Dr. Mark McDonald, a double board certified clinical psychiatrist told of the damage to our children. Dr. McDonald said, “We’re not in a medical pandemic, we’re in a fear pandemic.”

He believes that what is driving the fear now is propaganda.  He said that children, unlike adults, don’t just bounce back; that children will not regain their psychological health.  As a child psychiatrist, he treats children all day long.

He stated, “The developmental stage children need to go through, babies, toddlers, young adults is being foreclosed on them.  Brown University Department of Pediatrics published a study in mid-September that found that babies born after January 1st, 2020, when this whole pandemic started, had an IQ point drop of 20 points compared to babies born before January 1, 2020.  That’s huge!  Why?  They don’t see faces, they don’t play, they don’t have exposure to friends, they don’t go to school.  They’re basically locked in their homes looking at their parents for a year and a half and their brains have not developed.”

“My concern is that we are building a generation of young people who are so traumatized that they will never fully recover from this.  Even if we give them therapy and treatment, they’re always going to be damaged from this and be scarred emotionally.  I don’t mean for it to be depressing, I mean for it to be alarming so that everyone can finally say, ‘STOP.’ We’ve got to stop the damage and then figure out what to do about it.”

It’s way past time to acknowledge what has been done wrong.  However, the biggest problem I personally saw was masks on children who rarely get or pass the virus.  To close their faces off from their peers and to wear face diapers in public is a developmental atrocity to our youth; I see it as child abuse.  Many parents home school, and those children have no social disabilities, but masks are a blockage that destroy interpersonal relationships and change the lives of these children for decades to come.

There is hope! 

The Gateway Pundit reported that Nebraska AG, Doug Peterson issued an opinion on physicians prescribing hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and ivermectin for Sars-coV-2 treatment will not face any punishment.  “Allowing physicians to consider these early treatments will free them to evaluate additional tools that could save lives, keep patients out of the hospital, and provide relief for our already strained healthcare system,” AG Doug Peterson wrote.

The Office of AG pointed to multiple medical journal articles, research, and case studies. They mentioned the study from Lancet that was later retracted because of its flawed statistics regarding the use of HCQ.

Airline pilots are walking out, refusing the jab, the Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Union (SMART) is walking away from the mandates, TSA employees have joined the anti-jab movement, nurses are leaving their professions and physicians are taking early retirement.  The CEO of Delta Airlines flat out says he opposes the mandate and doesn’t need one to get his employees jabbed.

In the following 10-minute video from The Hill, violent protests throughout Europe show the world is over Covid-19.

Video Here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHpZ2vqJbMA

Liberty Counsel has filed a class action lawsuit along with a motion for a temporary restraining order and injunction against Joseph R. Biden, U.S. Secretary of the Department of Defense Lloyd Austin and U.S. Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas on behalf of members from all five branches of the military — Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard — federal employees and federal civilian contractors, who have been unlawfully mandated to get the jabs or face dishonorable discharge from the military or termination from employment.

Dr. Stella Immanuel, one of America’s Frontline Doctors from Houston, believes that the whole “pandemic” is a Trojan Horse for vaccines designed by Bill Gates to depopulate the earth.  She also said, “Fauci is the epitome of evil.”

US Treasury deputy secretary warns unvaxxed Americans that shortages will continue until everyone is jabbed.  When there aren’t enough folks left working to run the country, there will be even more shortages, but to stop the tyranny and authoritarianism, Americans must take a stand.  So stock up now!

The International Criminal Court

Alex Newman, the Senior Editor of the New American Magazine recently interviewed Dr. Richard Fleming, PhD, MD, JD.  The people responsible for weaponizing and releasing the Covid-19 bio-weapon against humanity are facing a criminal complaint on “crimes against humanity” at the International Criminal Court.

The 20 minute interview is loaded with information.

Dr. Fleming mentions Dr. Peter Daszak who seemingly pushed for the notion that C-19 was not man-made early on in the pandemic.  Daszak, president of the New York City-based EcoHealth Alliance, secretly organized a statement issued by the influential British medical journal The Lancet in February 2020, according to Vanity Fair.  A total of 27 scientists — including Daszak, 55, who trained as a zoologist — signed the statement, which expressed “solidarity with all scientists and health professionals in China.”

During Daszak’s efforts to arrange the Lancet statement, he reportedly emailed two scientists, including Dr. Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina, who’d worked with the lead coronavirus researcher at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, located at the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak.

Barik was one of the most overlooked figures in the gain of function research that many believe may be the source of Sars-CoV-2 and the resulting Wuhan Virus pandemic. Dr. Baric whose research and collaboration with the Wuhan Institute of Virology spells out how to modify SARS with a spike protein so as to better infect human cells.

“Gain-of-function” is the euphemism for biological research aimed at increasing the virulence and lethality of pathogens and viruses. GoF research is government funded; its focus is on enhancing the pathogens’ ability to infect different species and to increase their deadly impact as airborne pathogens and viruses. Ostensibly, GoF research is conducted for biodefense purposes.  These experiments, however, are extremely dangerous. Those deadly science-enhanced pathogens can, and do escape into the community where they infect and kill people.

Dr. Fleming states that these two men, Daszak and Baric, and Shi Zhengli at the Wuhan Institute of Virology have spent decades manipulating viruses to make them more infective and cause them to shut down our immune system.  These people have been working together with the AIDs Foundation, the Department of Defense, the Rockefeller group, and all the people who are also connected with our universities who are putting in big money and have massive control over universities where we’re supposed to be training people to be scientists.

The federal government and the DOD made more than half the contributions financially and provided advisors to Peter Daszak at Eco Health who then paid Dr. Ralph Baric and Zhengli to play with these viruses.  There was no “accidental escape,” Sars-coV-1 was developed and this is an upgrade of it.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) is the ultimate criminal court on the planet.  The US signed but did not ratify but a lot of other countries did.  The United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and France have filed a joint suit.  Japan’s Dr. Kevin McCairn, France’s Dr. Luc Montagnier and Dr. Fleming submitted affidavits of information to the judges, including Dr. Fleming’s book.  The court still has the case.

A group of Nazi concentration camp survivors sent a letter to the ICC in support of a joint “Request for Investigation” by lawyers who have submitted evidence, alongside sworn affidavits from Professor Luc Montagnier and Dr. Fleming, alleging governments worldwide and their advisors are complicit in genocide, crimes against humanity, and breaches of the Nuremberg Code.

The former prisoners of war in Nazi concentration camps actually walked their letters over to the ICC.  They have stated what is happening now is more reproachable than what happened under Hitler and Nazi Germany.  It’s important to note that there were people who wanted to sign this document that are so afraid of reprisals that they did not, including one person who was a personal friend of Anne Frank.

Dr. Fleming says, “Now that tells you what we’re dealing with on planet earth, so anyone who thinks this is a game or that there are not some serious consequences going on here, when you have Nazi prisoner-of-war camp survivors hesitant to sign something, and they knew Anne Frank and everything she went through because they are afraid of reprisals, it will tell you the courage that these three people had to have just to sign their name on the dotted line and insist upon this.  This is more emphasis for people to become aware that this is moving forward.  We have other people we are now working with that should the ICC falter for whatever reason, these individuals working around the world and attorneys working in international law, are already placing the foundations for an international tribunal to be in effect.”

Just because the United States did not ratify this does not mean the people Dr. Fleming included in his statements will not be held accountable, i.e., Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, et al. Hiding inside the USA doesn’t mean it’s a safehold for them.

Conclusion

The rights of the people are only surrendered when the people allow it to happen.

General Washington had only a small number of Americans who joined him from 1775 to 1783 in the War for Independence from Great Britain, but that small army gave us liberty and freedom.

It’s time to fuel those brushfires once again. Never surrender.

Will Ron DeSantis Save Christmas?

Last week, the Florida Ports Council put out a press release telling shippers that the state’s ports are open, staffed, and ready for business.

“Florida is where your success comes in, and our seaports are the solution to ensure the cargo shipping logjam doesn’t become the Grinch that stole Christmas,” said Florida Ports Council President and CEO Michael Rubin. He added, “With inflation growing, shipping and manufacturing industries can save time and money by calling on Florida ports. Why pay to moor off the coast of California, when Florida shipping lanes are open and serving as the gateway for getting goods to America’s market?”  

Thanks to Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida is well-positioned to serve as part of the supply chain solution.

Earlier this year, Governor DeSantis infused Florida’s 15 seaports with $250 million in stimulus relief to help offset the impacts experienced as a result of the pandemic. This stimulus is in addition to other port infrastructure and connectivity investments made in Florida to increase our capacity and ability to move cargo and passengers around the world – Florida continues to invest in the infrastructure to become the pier to the world.

Miami, Florida, has opened its arms to tech companies fleeing California. Residents of the Golden State flocked to Florida in 2020 in numbers not seen previously. Maybe cargo ships will be next. Governor Ron DeSantis made some real infrastructure investments to upgrade Florida’s ports.

Let’s see if they pay off and save Christmas for everyone.

Cry Havoc! Threats to Right-to-Life Groups

Randall Smith: If the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, expect lawlessness. A nation so dedicated to a fundamental evil will not simply give it up without a fight.


Some friends were kind enough to invite my wife and me to the Texas Right to Life banquet a few weeks ago.  For those who don’t know, Texas Right to Life is among the most successful, if not the most successful, pro-life organization in the country.  Hence, we have the Texas Heartbeat Law, requiring that an abortionist check for a heartbeat of a child in the womb and making it illegal for anyone to terminate the life of that child if a heartbeat is found.

The banquet this year was much like those in past years, with one major difference: the presence of heavy security.  There were uniformed police officers with bulletproof vests in evidence everywhere.  For Texas Right to Life is an organization under fire, part of a nationwide movement under fire, suffering harassment and maltreatment that I predict will only get worse in the coming months and years.

Texas Right to Life gets over a thousand hate messages via voice mail per day. And I mean hate. The organizers played some during the banquet, bleeping out the frequent expletives in the lengthy streams of invective. They had to clear their offices recently due to a credible bomb threat and must have 24-hour police protection on their offices. They get 750,000 attacks per day on their web site, including from such notorious hackers as the group Anonymous.  Who would have thought trying to preserve the lives of innocent children would lead to such vitriol and loathing from so many people?

But I remember watching film of demonstrations when the first black students were escorted into the University of Alabama and seeing crowds of angry white girls in poodle skirts, bobby socks, and button-front sweaters screaming – screaming until they nearly fainted from the intensity of their anger – at the very thought of allowing a black student into the university.  I remember thinking:  “Wow, that’s a lot of anger at one black person walking into a college building.”  But there they were on a nice summer’s day, spitting vile hatred, turning themselves into models of shame for the whole country.

So let’s just be honest with ourselves about something.  If the Supreme Court does its duty and strikes down Roe v. Wade, it will likely set off a firestorm of violence that will engulf the country.  Which is why, personally, I am not optimistic the Court will do it.  It will be viewed as too risky.

Everyone knows who promotes violence and who doesn’t.  Which is precisely why I worry that the Roberts Court will find a way not to overturn Roe: namely, for much the same reason that cities were boarded up before the results were announced of the last presidential election.  The fear was that if the country reached the “wrong” outcome, the progressives would riot in the streets. Everyone knows that if Roe is not overturned, pro-life forces will be disappointed, but they will not become violent. If deciding one way guarantees violence but deciding the other does not, which way do you think that decision is likely to go?

But if the Supreme Court shows courage rather than cowardice, and Roe is overturned, at that moment the pro-life battle will begin.  And it will not be pretty.  Expect persecution.  Expect intimidation.  Expect lawlessness.  A nation so dedicated to a fundamental evil will not simply give it up without a fight.  If you think a culture that has devoted itself for so long to the “right” to do away with inconvenient and disabled babies will act any differently than it did when it was defending the “right” to own slaves or its “right” to white supremacy with Jim Crow laws, then you haven’t learned the lessons of history.

People rarely surrender the “right” to dominate others without fighting tooth and nail.  When what is at stake is admitting that your entire worldview has not only been wrong, but based on supporting an institution that is fundamentally unjust and a violation of human dignity, people do not surrender gently.

In the 1850s, plenty of “genteel folk” preferred that slavery not be talked about in public company. So too now, there are many, even among Catholic priests and bishops, who would prefer we just not talk about our current “peculiar institution”: abortion. I mean, it’s so unnecessarily embarrassing. Such a distraction. So likely to provoke anger from the sophisticated elite. Best, therefore, to keep it under wraps and avoid looking the evil squarely in the face, such as men in chains or babies in trash cans.

Langdon Gilkey, in his remarkable memoir, The Shantung Compound, based on his experiences in a Japanese internment camp in China during the Second World War, reports that, as each moral issue arose in the camp, a pattern repeated itself, over and over.  The more educated and respectable the people, the more elegant and advanced were their arguments defending their own self-interest.  Gilkey writes that, “The ethical issues of human community life are, therefore, the outward expression in action of deeper, more inward issues, we might say religious issues.  For religion concerns men’s ultimate loyalty – that which gives them their ultimate sense of meaning and sets the standard of their life. . . .When our ultimate concern is directed to some partial or limited interest, we can scarcely avoid inhumanity toward those outside that interest.”

As we move further and further into the post-Christian age and people’s ultimate concern is no longer directed to their Creator, no longer guided by His wisdom and law, we can expect more of man’s inhumanity to man.  When men tire of divine order and tie their identity idolatrously to an ideology, it is not long before they “cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.”

The Great Reset Roars On!

The great reset cannot and will not be able to occur without total breakdown in all things Americans are used to. Law and order, education, food supply, retail shelves being full, cars being plentiful, affordable housing, affordable clothing. Need I go on?


Today’s blog is two parts, one, the first, written by me and the second by my friend Chris! They both are related to the corruption and evil, deliberate direction of this usurper and fraudulent administration, supposedly headed by crime family boss ‘Sniffer’ Joe Biden, but really run by Traitor and testosterone challenged Barrack Hussein Obama and his group of Commie and other treasonous, spawn of the Devil, cronies.

As many of you know I have many friends and contacts around this beautiful country who are or were politicians, Law Enforcement and military members, both regular members and special force groups.

It appears, and I have seen evidence of this, that these numbers are being totally ignored under orders and authority of the Biden regime. It also appears that only those from countries not necessarily friends of America, are the ones having the target numbers ignored.

As many of you also know, Congress sets a number of green card lottery visas for various continents and countries. That number is not supposed to be gone over. It can be under issued but not over. Predominately white, European or civilized countries have the smallest number issued. Shocked? After all. Why would we encourage people to come here that will actually add to this country in terms of wealth and abilities as opposed to taking from it??

The dark continent of Africa, for example, was given a total number of green card lottery visas of 39,000 ( Rounded down ) and as of early September over 70,000 were cleared and issued. The year is not over yet. Not only is this criminal but a deliberate act of intentionally allowing more immigrants in from an area of the world that traditionally doesn’t offer much that Americans cannot do. They traditionally struggle to assimilate and rarely become true Americans or try too hard to learn the language and culture. They also breed like crazy!

I have been trying to find a non corrupt politician to do a deep dive into this matter as there has to be a paper trail and not place my informant in any position of disadvantage as the evidence I have would identify him or her. To date I haven’t found one I could trust – or appears interested.

Now, part two today comes from Chris Wright, whose work has been published here regularly.

Hi all,

Two new stories today show the Biden administration continues to expand its open border immigration policies.

DHS is drafting a plan to allow people who committed fraud in applying for U.S. citizenship to remain citizens, saying the important thing is for those pobrecitos not to have to worry about their future.  Washington Times  Meanwhile, leaked border patrol documents show the Biden administration has released more than 160,000 illegal aliens into the U.S. so far this year.  OAN  Those are just the ones we know about.

The cartels and coyotes are sending more.  They send families with young children across the border in the morning.  Then, when border agents are tied up with paperwork processing the families, the cartels and coyotes bring more people and contraband across in the afternoon in places along the border where agents are missing.  [Secure Freedom Radio, 10/11/21)

What could possibly motivate the Biden administration to adopt policies they know result in the deaths of untold numbers of people trying to reach the United States?  Policies that result in small children arriving here alone without their parents?   Policies that alienate their fellow Democrats, border town mayors who are stuck with the tab for providing housing, healthcare, and other services to the masses of illegal aliens swarming their towns?   Policies the administration knows create national security risks, like letting in fake refugees who are actually members of Islamic militia groups, and giving hostile nations access to our homeland.  Democrat Tulsi Gabbard said the administration is lying when it claims the border is secure.

Today’s new stories, taken together with the slew of previous Biden policy changes opening the border, beg the question: are there any policies left that haven’t been loosened yet?

And to what end?  Democrats mock people who articulate what Democrats call the Great Replacement theory – the idea that Biden is deliberately pursuing open border policies to change the racial mix of the country.  The Democrats brand this as ‘white supremacism’ but a closely related theory holds the open border policies are being pursued to create a permanent political majority for the Democrats. Millions of illegal aliens will eventually vote for the Democrats when they eventually become citizens and no Republican will ever get elected again, the theory holds.

OK, fine. If you’re not trying to replace the population of the United States to marginalize white people or replace the current population with people who are more politically to your liking, what ARE you trying to do?  To burden is on you to explain what all these policy changes are for.  Are you trying to save the entire world?  If you don’t want people believing the Great Replacement or permanent political majority theories, the burden is on you to articulate the true goal of your open borders policies. You have been undeniably and systematically opening the borders every which way you can.  What for?  Let’s hear it.  I’m waiting.

NFL Removes All Coaches, Players, Fans Who Have Ever Said A Bad Word, Only Tim Tebow Remains

U.S.—Remember super-Christian and football/baseball player Tim Tebow? The guy who took a knee before it was cool? Well, Tebow is now officially the only member of the NFL. The bold change for the league occurred after officials decided that everyone who had ever said a bad word would be removed from the league.

The entire NFL will just be an empty field with Tebow tossing a ball to himself with no spectators, coaches, teammates, opponents, or commentators, sources at the league confirmed today.

“Welp, I guess it’s just Tim out there now,” said Roger Goodell in his resignation speech. “I hope everyone enjoys watching him play. Well, I mean, you can’t actually watch him because we’ve fired you as a fan for saying something off-color once. But Tim is a good kid. He’ll have fun out there.”

Tebow took to the field for his first NFL game as the only member of the league Thursday evening, quietly took a knee and said a prayer, and then just went out there and tossed the ball around to himself. “I just want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for blessing me with this opportunity,” Tebow said. “And I want to thank the rest of the league for being heathens who said bad words in the past. I owe it all to you guys.”

Tebow still didn’t score any touchdowns.

Transgenderism Is The Tip Of The Spear!

Never underestimate how far the Left will go to protect their phony narratives.


In May, a boy said to be wearing a skirt went into a girls’ bathroom at a high school in Virginia and sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl inside.  The boy was charged with forcible sodomy and arrested again later for a second sexual assault at a different school.  It’s being reported the local school board covered up the first incident because it was trying to pass a transgender bathroom policy at the time.

The girl’s father showed up at a school board meeting in June to talk about the incident.  A liberal activist told him the assault never really happened.  This is called ‘gaslighting’, something the Left does all the time.  The school board behaved no better, calling his story a ‘red herring;’ looking away, reading magazines, and scolding parents for clapping and booing.    The father said he was told to keep quiet and was misled about how the boy was being monitored by law enforcement.   The father was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.  Other parents complained they were not allowed to speak.  The school board shut down the meeting and cleared the room.

I wish that were the end of it, but the father’s story ended up in the letter the National School Boards Association sent to the White House two weeks ago [at ftn. 13] which resulted in the Attorney General siccing the FBI on ordinary parents as ‘domestic terrorists’ for objecting to school board policies.

Much of the apparatus of the Left and the state is now arrayed against parents who object to the transgender narrative.    If things stay on their present course, here’s what you can expect:  Courts will throw out the First Amendment and require you to use transgender preferred pronouns.  In other words, courts will control your thoughts and compel speech.  This just happened in Canada where a tribunal ruled the government can punish people with huge fines if they don’t use preferred pronouns.  A federal appeals court in the U.S. recently decided the other way, but you can bet the issue will be back.  The Left never quits.

Here’s what else you can expect:  more cover-ups of more rape cases so the transgender agenda can proceed unimpeded.  It reminds me of England, where the police and complicit politicians routinely cover up rapes because the perpetrators are Muslim, giving women nowhere to turn for justice.

In the U.S., the transgender narrative is being protected, but to what end? California just passed a new law allowing children to get sex changes without telling their parents, so the transgender agenda is being used as a weapon to cut parents out of the picture and tear down the family. Then there’s the whole move to erase biological sex designations from official records, like driver’s licenses and even birth certificates. It’s to the point where even medical schools apologize for differentiating between male and female patients.

But the insanity doesn’t stop there.

According to transgender doctrine, men can get pregnant and need abortions. The point of all this insanity is to tear society down to ‘build it back better’ with totally new concepts that just so happen to serve a tiny subversive elite that seeks to control our thoughts and rule over us. This is a communist technique. In Russia, it was called ‘the New Soviet Man.’ It comes straight out of Marx who preached the utter destruction of absolutely everything with a constant barrage of new ideas that contradict previous ideas, including our founding principles. The process is called dialectical negation and it is the Left’s weapon of choice to destroy America as we know it. They will keep sending guided missiles like transgenderism into society until there’s nothing left and they can take over because people are confused and don’t know what they stand for, any longer.

That makes transgenderism a giant con job.  The issue is never the issue.  The issue is always wealth and power for a tiny elite.    Women, you’ve especially been conned by transgenderism.  You’re getting a rotten deal under the new orthodoxy.  Your sports have been destroyed, your battered women’s shelters are no longer safe, and you can’t get justice if you’re raped by a transgender biological male.  The authorities will cover it up, just like in Virginia.  The patriarchy strikes again.

And we’re ALL being conned by transgenderism into believing male is female, up is down, and nothing that has been built in society up to this point is worth preserving.  But it is possible to fight back and win, and that’s exactly what I encourage you to do, at school boards and everywhere else the Left is trying to control our thoughts and destroy life as we know it.

A member of the same group I belong to, Jeff, also added the following:-

We also have to stop letting The Radical Left define this issue on their terms. The trans movement can be broken down like this:
Gender reassignment surgery – Or as they are even more sinisterly (is that even a word?) referring to it “Gender Affirmation Therapy” should never be referred to it as anything else by our side except for “Child Mutilation.” Bonus question – A creep who tries to touch a child’s genitalia, he goes to jail. But now drugging and mutilating them while threatening kidnapping if parents don’t consent is the new Civil Rights movement?

Transgender bathroom laws – Part of The Radical left’s ongoing War on Women (use thier own words agaisnt them), forcing teenage girls to have to get undressed in front of boys.

And if you don’t mind being crude (language warning), when you find that the conversation going into Leftist fever pitch territory where intelligent conversation is no longer possible, just say, “Look. I support every young woman’s Right to Choose the first situation in her life where a hairy, sweaty d*ck is dangled in front of her face. You’re entitled to your ant-choice position”
As I’ve finally learned over the years, try to engage Lefties, but as their tone gets nastier and more personal don’t feel the need to continue to be polite.

As Patrick Swayze said so well in Road House, “Be nice. Until it is no longer time to be nice.” Yeah, we’re probably well past that time!
