Ireland’s NGOs, media, and public office-holders are reeling from a catastrophic defeat in a recent nation-wide referendum on two proposed changes in the country’s constitution (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/03/after-crushing-defeat-irish-referendum-pushed-leftists-fine/). They can’t believe they got such a shellacking; and a few politicians have suggested they change course, big-time, before they’re all voted out of office.

Proposed changes in Ireland’s “family amendment”–67% NO.

A “care referendum”–74% NO.

These measures, which would have redefined “family” and brought in all sorts of Far Left innovations, were thunderously rejected by the voters despite strong YES campaigns by NGOs (“activists” for a variety of leftist causes), the nooze media, and the government itself. A few office-holders are now wondering if they overestimated public support for the NGOs’ pet projects. Uh, ya think?

So maybe things will get better now for Ireland. And maybe it’ll start a trend.

Pray that it’s so.

Go Get ‘Em, Mo!

Gender Unicorn -

“Out, out damned spot!”

Missouri has a bill in the House that would make it a felony for a teacher or school counselor to promote transgenderism to children (https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/03/07/state-debates-criminal-penalties-k-12-teachers-who-push-transgenderism/). Those convicted would be registered with the state as sex offenders.

This needs to be done, but the teachers’ unions will fight tooth and nail to prevent its passage. We support and applaud this effort: but–!

Public “education” is broken beyond repair, it can’t be fixed, and the only remedy is to pull the children out of the public schools. They will not stop grooming children for sex until there are no children left in the classroom. Haven’t they made that painfully clear? I think they have.

Well, at least some of the legislators are trying. Go for it, Missouri.

New Hampshire Bans Sex-Change Surgery for Minors

New Hampshire has joined a passel of other states in banning sex-change surgery for minors (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/01/new-hampshire-house-passes-bill-banning-sex-changes/).

This abomination is known by various slimy euphemisms, including “gender-affirming care” and “adolescent genital gender reassignment.” It is also known, say some of the legislators who voted for the ban, for “a degree of coercion” applied against parents by zealous “doctors” who get rich performing the operations.

The house also barred doctors from referring prospective “patients” to out-of-state facilities.  The state senate is also expected to pass the bill.

Here are the states that have already passed similar legislation: Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Arizona, and Alabama. That’s 22 states, folks… surely with more to come.

Transgender mania has swept the Western world. And now it’s time for pushback.

That’s How It’s Done, Son!

Javier Milei Argentina's new right-wing economist president

He’s not kidding!

After only 18 days in office, Argentina’s new president, Javier Milei, is cleaning up Dodge City.

Among other things, here’s what he’s done so far (https://revolver.news/2023/12/18-days-into-power-argentina-president-milei-is-bulldozing-the-globalists/):

*Removed 12 of 21 cabinet posts

*Sacked 5,000 government employees

*Eliminated 380,000 government regulations

*Banned woke language in the military

I hope President Trump is watching this.

You can be sure the Democrats will do anything, and I do mean anything, to prevent such reforms and stay in power.

Teen Girl Socks It to School Board

(I don’t know how long this video will remain available on YouTube, so I suggest watching it now.)

The woke school board, bunch of white leftids, couldn’t take the heat from this 14-year-old homeschooled girl… so they got up and left. She flayed them for their push for transgender and their packing school libraries with pornographic trash. No, precious, they didn’t  like that, not one little bit! So they fled the room.

Really, people has it come to this? Are we so tame, so buffaloed, so beaten down by “the authorities” that we need a child to lead us? We thank God that she spoke: but she should not had to speak alone.

The only thing that will heal the public schools is to pull out enough children to cause the system to collapse. Then we can see about replacing it… although I can’t see that as a good idea. Public education has had its day, and that day is long over.

‘Lefty Loons Try to Take Over Science Fiction’ (2015)

You can always count on libs ‘n’ progs to do their damnedest to spoil normal people’s fun. For a while there they succeeded in taking over science fiction–because normal science fiction fans are in it for the fun and it never occurs to them to organize politically so they can dominate SF conventions.

Lefty Loons Try to Take Over Science Fiction

My friends and I used to go to science fiction conventions. It was fun! SF always did have its share of Far Left babble, but back in the 20th century the kooks weren’t trying to take it over.

Well, in 2015 science fiction writers got wise and struck back–and won!

Normal people will always win, if they can just get started.

Italy Spurns ‘Great Reset’

“Hello! My name is Giorgia Maloni. You tried to screw up Italy’s cuisine. Prepare to die.”

Italy’s new head of state is sticking it to the World Economic Forum–right in the eye. Italy is now rejecting everything the WEF is selling (https://www.revolver.news/2023/04/italy-tells-the-great-reset-to-go-screw-itself/). This is pushback on a national scale.

Here are some features of Prime Minister Maloni’s policy:

*All foodstuffs containing insect flour to be segregated away from normal food, and clearly labeled.

*No selling insects for human consumption.

*No lab-grown artificial meat.

*No more “official communications” in any language but Italian–if you can’t say it in Italian, “Va al diavolo.” Why should Italians in Italy have to read rules and regulations in English?

All of these measures are to carry heavy fines for violation. Clearly Ms. Maloni is not fooling around. Where do our politicians sign up for lessons?

[P.S.–And Finland has just elected a new conservative prime minister, and kicked out the Far Left dingbat that they had. Chalk up 2 on the loss column, WEF.]

Pushback (!) for Parental Rights

Parents protesting 'critical race theory' identify a new target: Mental health programs

Are you mad enough yet, folks?

As reported by the Christian Science Monitor, as of March 1 of this year, 32 states have Parental Bill of Rights acts pending in their legislatures (https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Education/2023/0324/32-states-and-counting-Why-parents-bills-of-rights-are-sweeping-US). Some of the bills have already failed–voted down by Democrats–but they can always come back. And there is a federal Parental Rights bill in the House of Representatives… which will be voted down by Democrats in the Senate. Or else vetoed by SloJo, who thinks opposition to “transgender” is (we quote) “almost sinful.” Rhymes with “skin full.”

And as we reported here two years ago, that ol’ Pandemic had children being “educated” online at home by “remote learning”–and for the first time, parents actually saw and heard what their children were being “taught.” And they didn’t like it!

Now we have a flurry of parental rights bills in many state legislatures. In a lot of states, the bills will never pass. But never mind. Make the Democrats go on record as being against parents’ rights, against the family. We know they think it. Now let’s make them say it–loud and clear, for everyone to hear. And while we’re at it, we can find out how many Democrat big shots send their kids to expensive private schools and wouldn’t be caught dead in those public schools that the rest of us are supposed to settle for.

Thirty-two states!

Sounds like progress, to me.

Stand Up and Cheer! Good Guys Win Holland’s Elections

2021 Dutch general election - Wikipedia

The dark blue is where the Farmers Movement won!

They held their elections in Netherlands this week–and the populist Farmers Movement, only three years since it was founded–swept the slate, winning in all the country’s provinces but one (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/03/historic-upset-in-netherlands-as-farmers-movement-trumps-ruling-wef-rinos/).

Go ahead–tell me this was anything but a thumping loud rejection of the ruling People’s Party and its embrace of globalism at the expense of Dutch farmers and consumers.

Holland is not out of the woods yet: the Farmers Movement has not gained control of the government. The globalists can still get together with faux conservatives and form a dominant coalition in the legislature. So we will see if elections still have “consequences” when the good guys win.

Whatever the case, the people have spoken loud and clear: “We don’t want your World Economic Fund horse-s***!” Maybe the government had better listen.

Pushback! Tennessee Bans ‘Drag’ Shows

Scarlet Tanager

I don’t post pictures of drag queens. Here’s a nice scarlet tanager instead.

Tennessee a few days ago became the first state to ban “drag queen” shows on public property near schools, including schools (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/tennessee-becomes-first-state-ban-drag-shows-public-property-near-schools). The state also banned “gender transition surgery” for minors.

Other states seem poised to do the same–Idaho, Kentucky, North Dakota, Montana, Oklahoma, and Utah.

We need to pray it’s not too late. It already is too late for some–children who will be sterile, and in need of medical attention, for the rest of their lives.

This is an inexplicable chapter of world history, this transgender mania. Maybe it’s the work of Satan. Nothing else seems to account for it.

Even so, we can rejoice that at least some of our states are trying to save the ship before it sinks.
