5 Really Nasty ‘Universities’

See the source image

Campus Reform has listed the top five looniversities in America for Far Left Crazy bias (https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=11556).

San Diego State offered a course on “removing Trump from office.” Amazing, what you can get academic credit for, these days.

University of Minnesota-Twin Cities hired an abortionist to “train” others. Public outcry has made them back off on the actual hiring. Your tuition dollars at work!

At the University of Michigan, a professor refused to recommend a student for a program of study in Israel… because he doesn’t like Israel.

University of Southern Maine gave academic credit to students for traveling to Washington, D.C., to “protest” Brett Kavanagh’s appointment to the Supreme Court. I wonder if they offered extra credit for clawing and banging on the Supreme Court’s door while the justice was being sworn in.

University of California-Berkeley “disavowed” a Student Senator for citing her Christian religious beliefs as the reason for her unwillingness to support the “transgender” movement. The usual round of groveling afterward didn’t save her.

America has too many colleges and universities, too many students wasting four to six years of their lives in classrooms, too many Far Left Crazy wackos “teaching” them, and way, way, way too much money being squandered on tuition and fees. We are “educating” ourselves to death. These institutions desperately need to be fully defunded. Let them survive in a free market–if they can.

By Request, ‘Silent Night’

A reader in Japan asks for this German hymn, which I find sung quite beautifully in Irish… Well, that’s what Christmas is about, isn’t it? God’s Temple is to be the house of prayer for all nations. And someday it surely will be.

Requested by Joshua, sung by Enya.

Cardinals in the Snow

Mr. Nature here. Somehow the combination of bright red cardinals, pure white snow, and green pine boughs strikes me as irresistibly Christmasy. I’ll bet I’m not the only one, either.

God’s handiwork is all around us, all the time, sometimes whispering, sometimes singing, sometimes shouting, “God is nigh! God is nigh.”

By Request, ‘O, Holy Night’

 

By now I’ve listened to and posted four Christmas hymn requests this morning, and my heart is stirred. I can’t listen to Pavarotti sing Christmas without my eyes filling up. It’s OK; it’s a tribute paid to the Lord.

Requested by “SlimJim”–I hope you don’t mind that he sings this French carol in the original French: besides which, he was in Montreal at the time.

By Request, ‘Adeste Fideles’

Phoebe asked for Adeste Fideles–and there were so many lovely renditions to choose from (pardon the dangling preposition), no way to go wrong. So I hope you all enjoy this one, sung by Andrea Bocelli.

‘Supremes Set to Judge God’ (2012)

Remember how happy certain pro-family/Christian groups were, years ago, when the Supreme Court decided to take, finally, a “definition of marriage” case? Some of ’em were turning cartwheels over it.

How did that turn out, then?

Sometimes I feel like Ian Malcom in Jurassic Park: sometimes I really hate being right.

Could we please not let the Supreme Court rewrite any more of our most ancient, sacred, and God-ordained societal institutions?

By Request, ‘O, Come All Ye Faithful’

I love the fact that Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was born in a stable and laid in a manger. But we should also remember that His is a truly royal birth–King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. His humility and His glory are both part of who He is.

Requested by “Thewhiterabbit,” O, Come All Ye Faithful, sung by the King’s College Choir at Cambridge.

By Request, ‘Christmas is Believing’

Okay, we’re back in the Christmas Carol Contest, and we’ll start with this song requested by Erlene: Christmas is Believing, by Carroll Roberson. Beautiful!

My Newswithviews Column, Nov. 29 (‘The Push for Open Borders’)

“Borders, schmorders!”   –Attila the Hun

No country in history ever had “open borders” on purpose–although people like Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan treated other people’s countries as if they had no borders.  I guess if you can’t enforce ’em, you don’t really have ’em.

So the push for open borders is on, they think their public schools and collidges have dumbed us down enough to make us ready for it–and God the Lord defend us.

Some Peace and Sanity, with Cats

We don’t generally think of our furniture as an inexhaustible reservoir of happiness and fun; but we might if we were cats. My own climbing around on top of chairs days are over, alas: great fun while it lasted.
