A Blast from Australia

My chess buddy, “optimal play,” has been on a roll, these last two days. Here’s a sample of what he’s had to say, live from Australia. On my “playground player chessforum” at Chessgames.com.

optimal play: <playground player> Fools and noozies might believe it was on the level, but leftid fanatics know it was election theft and are thrilled to have gotten away with it.They don’t care about democracy otherwise they wouldn’t be leftids.

The mainstream media and big tech conspired with the Dems to steal this election and when the courts refused to even hear the evidence, that’s when it became clear the deep state was involved.

It will be something that historians will look back on and debate, like the Bolshevik Revolution or Munich Putsch.

They will discuss how the American people could have allowed the theft of a presidential election to occur and not take drastic action to defend their democracy.

The new Biden-Harris America is epitomised by Mija the cisgender millennial CIA operative and Emma the woke young woman army corporal.

But that’s just the beginning.

After sleepy ol’ Joe is shunted aside and Kamala is ushered into the Oval Office, then we’ll really start to see what the new America is all about.

I was appalled to encounter someone who actually believes “transgender” is just fine and subjecting young children to “The Drag Queen Story Hour” does no harm at all. This appeared as a long post on pg. 603 (today’s page) of my Playground Player forum at http://www.chessgames.com/ . I won’t attempt to reproduce it here. If you want to read it, please visit the forum.

I wasn’t looking forward to trying to answer such a preposterous and morally vacuous argument, but when I logged in today to attempt it, I found that several of my esteemed colleagues at Chessgames had already done the job–big-time. I find it hard to say how happy that made me!

We must not let these people murder our culture. We must not be silent when God’s Word, which is the truth, is despised. Not that He needs our help: but we are His servants, and we must do our best to serve Him.

There does seem to be a bit more pushback now than there was two or three years ago. May God give us the strength and the wit to push back even harder: in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Norwegian Hymn: ‘Jeg Ser De Sote Lam’

A reader from Norway, “Count Wedgemore,” showed up on my Playground Player chess page yesterday, and I wanted to find a Norwegian hymn to post for him.

This one translates as I See You, Sweet Lamb, and this violin rendition is so beautiful that I just had to go with it, even without the lyrics.

Bjorn, my friend, I hope you like it.
