I’m completely mystified as to why we let aggressive micro-minorities push us around–even to the point of erasing our history. Like this:

History warns us that it doesn’t take a lot of people to wreck a whole country. It only takes a few, if they keep working at it and no one stops them.
Shame on us if we can’t preserve our country from the liberals.
Here’s a novel way to start a new year!
A Florida woman was arrested last week when she threatened employees at a McDonald’s stand because they wouldn’t give her free dipping sauce (https://nypost.com/2020/01/07/florida-woman-arrested-for-threatening-to-get-mcdonalds-sauce-by-any-means-necessary/), declaring that she would use “any means necessary” to get it. Her tantrum frightened the crew enough to make them call the police–who had to carry her out to the squad car.
The dipping sauce in question would have cost her an extra 25 cents. So for 25 cents she went off her rocker. Apparently paying an extra quarter wasn’t included in “any means necessary.” Good thing she wasn’t armed.
The incident happened at around 4 a.m. New Year’s morning.
We’re seeing a lot of this lately, individuals blowing their stacks for incredibly trivial reasons. What is driving this?
This is our post-Christian loony-tunes participation-trophy culture melting down.
Kill the culture, and it’ll kill you back.
Tucker Carlson on Fox News has launched a new series on the demise of America’s great cities, starting here with San Francisco. The purpose of the series, he says, is to “remind Washington what they’re supposed to be doing.” That is, preserving the quality of American life.
“Civilization itself,” he says, “is coming apart in San Francisco.” There is, in effect, no more law enforcement there. Any crime involving less than $950 in property damage or loss is simply ignored by the justice system. And meanwhile the sidewalks are full of human feces and discarded syringes. The city government hands out some 400,000 needles a month, free–which sort of encourages drug abuse.
But what the heck, they’ve still got the country’s biggest “pride” parades.
Two things need to be said. I don’t know whether Carlson is going to say them, so let’s say them here.
*This happens to every city where the Democrat Party rules. Go ahead, name a major city, governed by Democrats, that isn’t going to hell in a handbasket. Betcha can’t.
*This is happening to cities all over the Western world. Seen any pictures of Marseilles or Paris lately? Not nice! And if you’re ever in Stockholm–well, get out as fast as you can.
This is post-Christian know-it-all fat-head secular culture. It will prove to be an experiment in whether you can have a civilization without functioning cities.
Our one and only hope is to reject everything this stands for and run, don’t walk, back to God.
As our feeble humanist civilization continues to melt down, the city of London posted its highest murder rate of the decade–149 dead, 90 of them stabbed to death with knives, and 42 murders “gang-related” (https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/01/04/khans-london-murder-rate-reaches-decade-high/).
How’s that post-Christian thing workin’ out for ya?
It wasn’t an all-time record, though. In 2008 London had 154 murders.
These figures do not include serious assaults in which the victim survived.
Londoners, for the most part, are not allowed legally to own guns for self-defense. Take the knives away, and it’ll be blunt instruments that do the killing.
London has closed-circuit TV cameras all over the place, but that doesn’t seem to be working.
Why so many murders?
Kill the culture, and it will kill you back. But then you can’t tear down and re-engineer society without killing the culture, can you? A lesson which the world’s Far Left Crazy ruling class refuses to learn.
But this I do understand…
So much nooze I didn’t write about today, I’m only human–but I did read it.
I’m not going to repeat any of that stuff here, except to confess that I’m totally unable to understand it.
The nooze tells me that the Far Left Crazy, laboring maniacally to fundamentally transform our country, wants lots and lots of gay, tons of transgender, massive poverty, and a high level of background violence, presided over by an all-powerful government of fabulously wealthy socialist gangsters.
What I don’t understand is why. Why do they want those things? What does anyone gain by indoctrinating children into self-destructive sexual and moral anarchy? Okay, the jidrools in charge get ever richer and more powerful. But their supporters don’t. And they have millions of supporters–who apparently find it objectionable that they live in a prosperous, reasonably just country with stable social, political, and economic institutions. Why on earth would they want to overthrow it?
My friend and editor Susan tells me they want these things because they’re insane–and, whether they know it or not, in love with death and darkness. And maybe they truly believe the world’s gonna come crashing to an end in just twelve years, so they might as well break all the boundaries and live like monsters. But that’s speculation. They do what they do, and tell us what they want to do, and I just don’t get it.
All I do understand about it is that they have to be defeated. Utterly. And may Jesus Christ Our Lord defend us.
Sorry, but you can’t wash this off.
As if it weren’t bad enough that Chick-fil-A has caved in to homosexual supremacists’ demands that they cut off donations to the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, now we learn that it has also donated $100,000 to a group that hosts the “Drag Queen Story Hour” (https://thefederalist.com/2019/12/12/yes-chick-fil-a-really-is-funding-a-group-that-hosts-drag-queen-story-hour/).
Investigated and uncovered by LifeSite News, reported by The Federalist Society, IRS tax records show that in 2018, Chick-fil-A doled out $100,000 to Covenant House–a group that hosts the “Drag Queen Story Hour” and marches in homosexual “pride parades.”
This is a deep betrayal of Christian America by a corporation that used to pride itself–and take plenty of flak for it–on its support for Christian morality and the family. It’s hard to imagine anything more abominable than this.
Let’s stop eating there, shall we?
Don’t you just love it when liberals who don’t believe a single word of the Bible is true, try to win an argument by citing the Bible as their authority?

They tell us that there is no God, and mock us and despise us for believing in Him, and at the same time tell us we should do what they say that God says–which they have, as is their invariable custom, snapped as the twig of a single verse off the tree of meaning.
We have permitted much harm to be done to our culture by listening to them.
Notice! Entering Official Chick-fil-A Grovel Zone.
Christians were shocked when Chick-fil-A last month caved in to Organized Sodomy and discontinued its charitable donations to the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes–tarred by Big Sodomy as “anti-gay.”
But in point of fact, Chick-fil-A has been playing footsie with the dark side for years.
In 2014 the owner died, his widow died in 2015, and whoever’s in charge now wound up hiring this creepy little leftist to manage the Chick-fil-A Foundation–where he proceeded to funnel Chick-fil-A’s money to more Far Left groups than you can shake a stick at (https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2019/11/chick-fil-put-obama-and-hillary-supporter-charge-daniel-greenfield/). We wonder, in fact, if there was any Far Left outfit that Chick-fil-A didn’t donate to. Daniel Greenfield has assembled a partial list.
In doing so, Greenfield writes for Frontpage Mag, Chick-fil-A has become “just another corporate leftist charity that lavishes cash on organizations linked to local Democrats and assorted diversity causes.” They’re going to keep it up, he predictcs, and “Then, before you know it, there will be a Chick-fil-A ad campaign about toxic masculinity.”
Bound to happen, for as long as Obama and Clinton donor Rodney Bullard is in the Chick-fil-A Foundation driver’s seat. He needs to be fired, and his works torn down and undone. Otherwise we must take Chick-fil-A’s betrayal of American Christians as a purposeful act, and find someone else to sell us fast food.
We have also learned to be extremely leery of any entity labeled a “foundation.” It seems they’re all up to no good.
We are learning that the Swamp is wider than D.C. and as deep as the pit. Far Left loonies have crept into everything, turning our institutions against us.
We didn’t know that, prior to the arrival of Donald Trump to the White House. But we know it now.
Draining the Swamp, after it’s had decades to strengthen itself at our expense, will be a long, hard, often frustrating job. But it would be hard to find a more important one.
We pray the Lord will equip us for the work.
What’s missing from this picture?
Democrat presidential candidates say canceling a total of $1.5 trillion in college student debt will stimulate the economy (https://fortune.com/2019/11/29/student-debt-cancellation-plans-economy/). Instead of shelling out $500 a month to repay student loans, all these Stupid Studies grads are going to go out and buy homes and cars, etc.
So where does the $1.5 trillion go? Does it just disappear? Who’s going to wind up paying it?
Uh… you do! You and I and all the rest of the suckers who didn’t take out enormous loans to go to college.
Doesn’t sound too stimulating to me.
Wait a sec, I have a better idea.
Defund the colleges and looniversities. Stop pouring money into them–federal grants and tuition payments. Discard this preposterous idea that everybody has to go to freakin’ college.
If you really want to stimulate the economy, big-time, and save our culture while you’re at it, get the government out of the “education” business altogether. If we must have public education–really, must we?–return control of it to the local communities where it belongs.
100% pure crapola
Not that there was ever much reason to watch awards shows in the first place; but since they’ve formed the habit of haranguing the audience with Far Left Crazy booshwa, they’ve all seen their ratings take a nosedive.
The latest prat fall belongs to the American Music Awards this month, which posted record low viewership among their favorite demographic, 18 to 49-year-olds (https://summit.news/2019/11/25/woke-american-music-awards-sets-record-low-viewership-in-key-demo/). Like, if they don’t get this audience, they don’t get nothin’.
But gee, what’s not to like? Male dancers in lace dresses. The end o’ the world, caused by Global Warming–“No music on a dead planet!” ran the hysterical warning. Hot and cold-running gender fluidity everywhere you look. Do you really, truly mean to tell me that ordrinary dum peeple are not grateful to music celebrities for being woke and hitting them over the head with the blunt instrument of their Social Justice message?
Honk if you know how to make it stop.
Well, not tuning in at all, or just turning off the TV once they start in with the woke stuff–yeah, that’s part of making it stop. What if they gave an awards show and nobody came? Nobody.
But when did you ever hear a Democrat concede failure when only 20 or 30 people, most of them noozies, show up at one of his or her rallies? It never stopped Hillary, did it?
Nevertheless, tuning out or turning off is good for us, individually, and also cuts down on pollution of the airwaves.
Fun fact: Houseplants exposed to awards shows shrivel up and die.
