The Power of Puppies: Looking at Cute Images Can Improve Focus – Association for Psychological Science – APS

I haven’t got the heart to illustrate this with any kind of picture of a pseudo-marriage. Here are a couple of nice puppies instead.

A few years ago, some people began to realize that the Constitution won’t protect our religious liberties unless five Supreme Court justices enforce it. So Texas, then Florida, and then Ohio passed “pastor protection acts” to prevent the state from forcing churches to perform homosexual parodies of marriage.

Yes, We Need the Pastor Protection Act

Democrats have always had conniptions over this. They really hate religious freedom. They think you should worship them instead of God.

Is it so hard to imagine a Blue state issuing a “Mandate”–they love mandates!–requiring all churches to perform those pseudo-marriages?

They’ll have us in the arena with the lions next.

No More Mandates!

President Biden's Weirdest White House Habits

(Where do you suppose he thinks he is?)

Our country’s founders never anticipated such a thing–that we would set aside our freedoms and our Constitution every time the “experts” said we had a “crisis”–but it’s looking like we need one:

A Constitutional amendment banning “mandates” by any level or agency of government anytime, anywhere, for any reason. In other words, if you can’t get it passed as a law by the people’s elected representatives, you can’t do it. Period. No president, governor, mayor, or bureaucrat can just lay it on us.

We have 535 members of Congress, some of whom are sane. But say there are, oh, 450 loons up on Capitol Hill. Can they do more damage than one wacko in the White House, or the state house, or the city hall? Paradoxically, it doesn’t seem they can! The more divided the political power, the safer we are from its abuse.

There has always been this expectation–hope? wistful longing?–that our legislators collectively would be something better than a passel of nincompoops. But even with that hope dashed, at least they’re often too busy arguing and pulling chairs out from each other to do serious harm to the country. It’s only when they get together that we have to be afraid.
