The police chief admits “this decision may drive crime up.” Gee, ya think? But she says they might as well stop trying to catch the bad guys because “the judicial system is largely unresponsive to the actions of the defendants.” We catch ’em, the courts release ’em.
Are we going to just give up on our cities? Well, the ones run by Democrats have already given up on themselves. Like, maybe we can have a civilization without cities. Or one in which only criminals inhabit the cities.
You’ve got two cruise ships, each of them as big as a small town, calm water, perfect visibility, and one of the ships already docked, not moving; plus radar, video, and–supposedly!–a captain and ship’s officers on the bridge, making sure that all goes well. And yet the one ship still manages to tear into the other’s stern.
Oh, captain, my captain! Where the blazes are ya, dude?
No fog, no tempest, no crowded melee of warships duking it out in the narrow waters of Salamis. No galley slaves, no bald guy pounding on a drum while the centurion shouts “Ramming speed!” This is one of those things that shouldn’t happen. Ever. I mean, how do you plow into a ship that you can see?
I can’t help seeing in this totally avoidable accident a metaphor for the way our whole Western civilization is going, these days. You should avoid it, but you don’t. You plow into the ship that’s sitting right there in front of you.
Without God’s guidance, it happens every time. Watch the S.S. Transgender plow right into the S.S. Moral Blindness. Oops!
I’ve just spent some time scanning the, uh, “news,” and it has given me psychological indigestion. I know I ought to write about at least some of it, but gee whiz!
Hillary Clinton, you bet she still wants to be president, has had her cheeks puffed up with cheek filler and now looks like a picture rendered by a not very skillful police artist trying to reconcile various descriptions of a suspect.
The Red Pope says all religions are pretty much OK with God.
Greta Thunberg, having been elevated to virtual sainthood by the Far Left Crazy, is almost certainly headed for a fall, once she follows the David Hogg/Mother Sheehan pattern of biting the Far Left hand that feeds her.
Madison woman beats the living daylights out of unspecified “educator” for attempting to discipline her child.
Anyway, the court in Dallas ruled that not only does the father have to allow his ex-wife to subject his son to puberty-blocking drugs, female hormones, and brainwashing–with perhaps some, er, “surgery” a few years down the road: he has also been ordered to “affirm” that his son is a “girl.”
What kind of free speech exists in a country where some “judge” can tell you what you must say? This in its own way is as monstrous as the rest of the case.
We rejoice that the higher authorities in Texas are not going to let this outrageous misuse of the courts just slip by. Further, we pray that open discussion of this case leads to a wide public outcry against the whole “transgender” business. May God grant Gov. Abbott and Attorney General Paxton courage, determination, and the wisdom needed to save this child from being made a human sacrifice to his not-mother’s wicked and obscene delusions.
We do remember the Terry Schiavo kill-her-for-her-own-good case in Florida, some years ago–and how then-governor Jeb! Bush at first attempted to intervene and then quickly backed off. We don’t expect that from Gov. Abbott or Attorney General Paxton.
May this case prove to be the beginning of the end for the whole “transgender” mania.
The father in Texas has been ordered to “affirm” that his son is a “girl.” In both cases we have a court dictating to someone what he must say and what he must believe.
Free speech, anyone? “You’ll say what we tell you to say, or else.” Free exercise of religion? “You will believe what we tell you to believe: and you will not believe what we forbid you to believe.”
And I can’t stop thinking, “What next? What are they going to demand of us next?”
I don’t know. It’s waiting for the other shoe to drop. No, it’s worse than that, because the wearer of those shoes seems to be a centipede, with lots and lots of shoes to drop.
The whole power class of the Western world–left-wing politicians, left-wing judges and juries, all the big banks, Hollywood, the nooze media, the colleges and looniversities, the public schools–has gone totally gaga for “transgender.” I don’t know why. What are we supposed to get out of this?
It’s a delusion, it’s a lie, it’s psychosis on a scale the world has never seen before. And it’s profoundly evil–a full-scale revolt against God and His created order, from which we might contract a spiritual pollution.
Where are they going to stop? Will we all be required to “affirm” this lunacy? Will they shut down our churches–don’t laugh: Beto the presidential candidate has already called for this–unless the churches “affirm” sexual confusion and depravity?
We think our Constitution will protect us. Well, Magna Carta doesn’t seem to be protecting anyone in England. Documents of law have no force at all when those who are charged with executing the law simply choose to ignore it.
Psalm 11 asks, “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” The answer is, “Not much.” But the psalm tells us that there is very much the Lord Himself can do.
Because we have free will, evil empires rise: men and women build them, so that they might prey on others. Because the earth is the Lord’s, no evil empire has ever escaped His judgment. History is heaped high with their wreckage.
The Lord is our defense. Pray harder, sing louder, and proclaim the truth.
(The content is disgusting enough without my illustrating it. Look at some baby chicks instead.)
Our esteemed colleague Marcia has made a thought-provoking point.
Talk about mixed messages! On one hand we have “educators” and other self-anointed change agents doing everything they can think of to emasculate boys, even to the point of feverishly encouraging them to “transition” into girls. And drugging them if they won’t sit quietly at their desks all day.
But on the other, you have best-selling novels about young women irresistibly drawn to younghandsomefabulouslyrich men, usually devoid of body hair, who subject them to physical abuse and humiliation… which somehow constitutes a “romance”.
So which is it, feminists? Door 1 or Door 2?
Y’know what? I don’t think they know! Their position has become too incoherent for even themselves to untangle.
But really, it’s the same thing behind both doors–culture-killing foolishness. Either one is toxic. Both are evil.
Kill the culture, though, and it’ll kill you back.
This is one of those Mene, Mene, Tekel moments that make you wonder if our whole civilization is headed for the landfill of history.
A publicist has invited me to review a book that will surely land its author in Hell–and probably him, too, if he doesn’t repent, big-time. It’s all about “re-imagining” the Bible. Whenever you hear that word “re-imagining,” turn around and go the other way.
“Re-imagining” means you take something that has meaning, fold-bend-spindle and mutilate it to give it an entirely different meaning that suits your purpose, and then tell the public that your new, improved version is what it was “really” supposed to mean all along.
In this case we have “Re-telling Bible stories without an angry God.” Swell idea. But see, kicking God out of the Bible makes it possible, babbles the publicist, to give the stories “a connection” to this lamentable 21st century. It also means the characters in the “stories” can do anything they want without having to account to an immutably righteous ultimate authority.
That’s how we wind up with–oh, let this one line suffice: “Young gay lovers seeking refuge in the sanctuary cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.”
The author, we are told is “a pastor.” Really? A pastor who vomits out this abominable filth? Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
I will not mention the title of this satanic piece of garbage, nor the author’s name, nor even the name of the publicist. Jesus Christ Himself has warned them.
“And if any man shall take away from the words of this book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life…” (Revelation 22:19)
Go ahead, chuckles–take God out of the Scriptures. But don’t say He didn’t warn you.
As I was writing this, House Democrats were feverishly preparing to impeach our president. On what grounds? Your guess is as good as mine. “He must’ve done something!”
How much pure lunacy can a civilization stand? Robot priests. Global government by hypocrites and fools. Straitjackets as a fashion statement. Some stupid kid standing up before the UN and making adults cower. Yeah, it’s goin’ great.
God is not subjecting us to these things because He’s happy with us.
Okay, here’s the highlight of his speech. Ready? You’ll want to learn it by heart. The quote:
“First of all, it is that the person who is to be eaten must be dead.” Give that man a Nobel Prize! Heck, the live ones yell “Ouch!” when you stick a fork in ’em, and keep trying to run away.
There were nooze stories I suppose I should’ve reported this week, but didn’t. I just couldn’t bear to write them up. Mutants and monsters are taking over our world, and it’s getting not only demoralizing, but downright scary.
Arlington, Virginia, school district goes whole-hog for transgender–starting in kindergarten.
Sixty-something woman serves as surrogate mother… for her son… so he can have a baby with his… oh, God, get us out of this… husband.
“Scholar” from Sweden says we ought to practice cannibalism. It’ll help stop Climate Change, dontcha know.
What this world needs, sez presidential wannabe Crazy Bernie Sanders, is a heckuva lot more abortions. It’ll help stop Climate Change, dontcha know.
David Hogg the steaming idiot is back. Discussing the Wounded Knee massacre, he says the victims were “predominantly men, women, and children.” His high school teachers should be humanely drowned.
And so on and so on. Our civilization’s in deep, deep trouble. Any civilization that can produce such an innumerable host of imbeciles has got to be in trouble. Can you imagine a country actually run by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her playmates? I wake up screaming.
All of this rot set in during my own lifetime. It happened right in front of me, and yet I don’t know know how it happened. Where was the Church? Where were our fathers? What were we doing, that we couldn’t spare the time to fight this?
Questions and questions… and the answers are in short supply.
