NFL Threatened By NAACP

                “There will be no football in the state of Georgia if Colin Kaepernick is not on a training camp roster and given an opportunity to pursue his career,” Gerald Griggs, vice-president of the Atlanta NAACP told WAGA-TV Fox 5. Griggs warned that if Kaepernick remains unsigned to a deal as of 5 p.m. September 17^th, “We are going to have the world’s largest tailgate, and that tailgate will not go into Mercedes-Benz Stadium,” the new $1.6 billion home of the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. He added, “We will take a knee, and we will continue to take a knee on the NFL until they act with one voice.” 

   This is not only an absurd shot across the bow to Commissioner Roger Goodell and all 32 of the league’s owners, but an unprecedented and preposterous attempt to dictate the actions of privately-held entities in a supposedly free market.

    Let’s step back and take a sober look at what’s really happening here. The NAACP is calling for a nationwide boycott of NFL games until and unless a single partially-black guy gets picked up by a team in the National Football League, whose players are nearly 70% black and whose average annual salary is over $2 million.

                “There will be no football in the state of Georgia… if Kaepernick remains unsigned to a deal as of 5 p.m. September 17^th?” Do you think you can shut down college and high school football, too?  And is that a threat? What are you going to do to prevent people from getting into Mercedes-Benz Stadium, shoot them or fit them with cement shoes? Why must Goodell and the 32 owners speak with one voice? And whose voice must that be, yours? What gives you the right to make these demands? This sounds a lot like “hate speech” to me.

                Maybe whites should boycott baseball until Curt Schilling is back on a major league roster. Surely white people should refuse to attend NBA games until that league’s players are much more representative of our nation’s population. I mean, only 16% of Americans are black, but 80% of the players in the NBA are black. Moreover, the average salary in the NBA is over $6 million! This type of rank discrimination cannot be allowed to continue unchallenged. 

Catholic School Removes Figures Of Jesus And Mary

                San Domenico, a San Francisco area Catholic school, recently removed several religious figures- including Jesus and Mary- in order to be “more inclusive.” Cecily Stock, the school’s head, said that the decision was made so that prospective families would be aware that “we are an independent school.” She added that, due to demographic changes, the majority of the families with students at the school do not identify as Catholic.  The prioress general of the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael, Sister Maureen McInerney, explained: “San Domenico is a Catholic school; it is making an effort to be inclusive of all faiths.”

                It’s not much of a Catholic school, is it, Sister?! Though I’m not a theologian, I daresay Jesus and Mary are relatively integral to the Catholic faith. If Catholics, in the name of inclusion, embark on the widespread removal of statues and images of Jesus and Mary- as if they had fought for the Confederacy- they will be emboldening relativism, hedonism and, likely, at least one other religion, while furthering the diminution of their own. Why wouldn’t Catholicism be inclusive of Jesus and Mary??!!

                What’s next? Will temples and synagogues start cleansing themselves of any symbols of Judaism?

                Will Burger King be forced to re-brand in acquiescence to protests by women’s groups and the LGBTQIA community? “Have it your way, at Burger Queen!”

                Will MSNBC remove Rachel Maddow from its line-up so as not to offend sane people?

                Funny, climate change believers don’t remove “hockey-stick” graphs because those they brand “deniers” find them offensive and ridiculous, do they? Nope, these “experts” tell them, “screw you, the ‘science’ is settled…you should be in prison!” 

                When and where Muslims are in the majority, will they/ do they voluntarily dispense with hijabs and prayer rugs in order to be more inclusive and welcoming to Christians and other minorities?

                Everything offends someone now, especially The Truth.

    It is time for someone to stand up for It, come what may.

No Fascists!

                 Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada recently canceled an event called “The Stifling of Free Speech on University Campuses,” citing safety concerns. So even the planned discussion of the stifling of free speech on campus…was stifled. The roster of speakers/panelists featured a couple of experts who are in favor of free speech and aren’t radical leftists, causing a group called “No Fascists in Our City!” to threaten “counter protests.” The groups Facebook page stated that “Considering the rise of Nationalism here and abroad we need to show these people and their guests that we will not tolerate their backward nonsense in our city.” The group also pressured the school’s student government to pressure the school’s administrators into shutting down the forum.

                Yet another university surrenders to intolerant, close-minded thugs, rather than executing its mission to educate and enlighten its students by exposing them to various schools of thought. Pathetic. And frightening. Remember when schools used to offer classes in debate, and have traveling debate teams? It’s impossible to have a debate if you refuse to let “the other side” speak…or even appear on campus, isn’t it?

It’s hard to imagine a vigorous debate occurring on campus today. Many of the little snowflakes would go blubbering off to their safe spaces at the first contradiction of the bizarrely cherished notions they’ve had implanted in their otherwise barren heads.

Christeen Elizabeth, one of the organizers of the No Fascists protests, told the National Post: “Transphobia is violence. Violence is contextual…We can’t be complicit in this.” Actually, Christeen, “transphobia” is not violence. Claustrophobia is not violence. No phobia is violence. Violence is not contextual. Violence is violence. Had you been educated in an earlier era you would have known this. Here’s a helpful primer:

Violence: noun

*behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something.

Notice the complete absence of a line similar to: “Violence is the belief that one should be free to state one’s beliefs…without fear of violence.”

After the university caved to the anti-diversity Nazis and canceled the event, the Fascist No Fascist’s Facebook page was thusly updated: “Everyone!!! We got this shut down! Let’s CELEBRATE!” I thought it was conservatives that wanted to stand astride history and yell “Stop!” Congratulations, you shut this down, you stopped that, you prevented something else. Really progressive.

And then the group went ahead with the protest rally anyway, even sans opposition, “because the fight is not over.”

 No Fascists in Our City! is an absurd label for such a supremely rigid and cowardly group. There certainly are Fascists in Your City, morons. Look in the mirror! Who are the intolerant ones? Look in the mirror!! Who are the “hate mongers?” Look in the mirror!!!

PETA Apologizes For Killing Little Girl's Chihuahua

                The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has apologized for confiscating- and killing- a little girl’s pet chihuahua. Additionally, the organization paid the family $49,000 after two people affiliated with the group went to the mobile home park where the family lives because they claim they had been asked to pick up wild dogs and feral cats. Once there, they absconded with an “unattended” chihuahua named Maya, who was subsequently put to death. Turns out, Maya was a Christmas gift to nine-year-old Cynthia Zarate. Oops.

                Who knew roving bands of PETA members patrol our lands looking for pets to put down? Cynthia’s father sued PETA for its actions, which included euthanizing Maya the same day she was abducted, in violation of a state law which requires a five-day grace period. Legally, PETA was given the proverbial “slap on the wrist,” in the form of a $500 fine, for assassinating the Zarate’s beloved pet. However, it did agree to settle the lawsuit, in order to avoid trial, by paying the Zarates as well as giving a $2,000 donation to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. So, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has to pay the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) two grand for treating an animal unethically and cruelly? You can’t make this up.*

                Mr. Zarate avers that PETA operates under a policy of putting down healthy animals because it “considers pet ownership to be a form of involuntary bondage.” PETA denies the charge, and asserts that this incident, which occurred in 2014, was a “terrible accident.”

                People for the Euthanizing of Tamed Animals: “Better Dead Than Led!”

The Changing Face Of Love And Marriage

The Changing Face Of Love And Marriage:

1500 A.D.: “Hilda, we are marrying you off to Dagmar. He’s from a good family that has wealth and station. We got a good price for you, an excellent dowry.”

Hilda: “Yes, father.”

1900 A.D.: “Sir, may I formally- and humbly- request the hand of your precious daughter in marriage?”

Sir: “Well, since you put it that way…I’ll think about it, son.”

1980 A.D.: “Mom, Daddy, Brad and I have gotten engaged!”

Daddy: “Which Brad, dear?”

2016 A.D.: “Mom, I’ve gotten engaged!”            

Mom: “To a boy or girl, dear?”

2030 A.D.: “Parental Unit One, I’m getting married soon!”   

Parental Unit One: “Animal, mineral, or vegetable?”

2040 A.D. (if there is one)- ???

Pope Says Immigrant's Dignity Trumps National Security

                Pope Francis recently demanded that governments welcome, protect, and promote immigrants, and called for a simplified process of granting humanitarian and temporary visas. The Pontiff also urged countries to stop collective expulsions, stating that the principle of ensuring each person’s dignity “obliges us to always prioritize personal safety over national security.” Huh? How does jeopardizing national security improve personal security and dignity? The Pope is in effect saying that we must prioritize the safety of a smaller group of people over that of a larger group of people. In reality, this would currently mean prioritizing the safety of mostly Muslim individuals from North Africa and the Middle East over that of the still marginally Christian nations they typically seek to enter…and, in some cases, destroy.

                Must we then prioritize the dignity and safety of a white supremacist or a Black Lives Matter member over our national security, too? This is madness. The Most Catholic One also entreated nations to train their border guards to protect migrants, saying that each new arrival, regardless of legal status, must be guaranteed access to basic services beyond just health care. Francis went on to say that immigrants should be assured of access to consulates and the justice system, and should be granted the ability to open a bank account and survive financially. He was particularly generous to unaccompanied minors, averring that they should be guaranteed citizenship, and access to schooling and foster programs.

According to reports, the pontificating Pontiff stopped short of declaring that all immigrants should be given a mansion with Olympic-size swimming pool, a cabin in the mountains or at the lake, a Lexus of their choice, and a $1,000 gift card to Wal-Mart.

Shortly after this announcement, a pro-Islamic State group put out a video specifically targeting the Pope and the Vatican. A separate video, recently released on the pro-IS Telegram channel, strongly suggests that Italy is likely the next target of a terrorist attack.

I guess there’s no satisfying some people. 

Monument-al Mistakes

                In such a stupid and graceless age, perhaps it was bound to happen. And now it has. Fans of Britney Spears are calling for Louisiana officials to replace Confederate monuments with statues of…Britney Spears. There is a petition on Change.org, already signed by over 5,500 people, entreating the state’s governor, John Bel Edwards, to “do the right thing: Replace the Confederate statues with an actual hero and influential human being, Britney Spears.” What would “Stonewall” Jackson know of heroism? Was Robert E. Lee really anywhere near as influential as Britney?

                The petition continues: “Not only has Britney proven her talent, but she’s proven her strength of character by not only overcoming highly publicized mental breakdown, but by continuously working towards improving herself. She’s an inspiration to millions.” (Emphases mine). This petition parroted one started a week ago that asked fans of rapper Missy Elliot to sign off on a plea to replace a Confederate statue in Portsmouth, Virginia, with one celebrating the African-American performer nicknamed “Misdemeanor.”

                It’s not only statues of confederates that are coming down, but those of some Founders, as well. Who better to replace them than pop stars, hip-hop “artists” and rappers? And what could be a better reflection of the “fundamental change” that has washed across the country? When I first read of the aforementioned petitions, I must admit, I had never heard of Missy Elliot…and I thought Britney Spears was a lightweight. So, I “Googled” their music. I clicked on the very first song I came across from each artist (and only that song) to examine their lyrics. What I found was remarkable. I henceforth compare and contrast a few snippets from Robert E. Lee and Thomas Jefferson, with a few from Britney and Missy.

Robert E. Lee: “There are few, I believe, in this enlightened age, who will not acknowledge that slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil.”

Britney: “I’m a slave for you (take that) I cannot hold it I cannot control it

                I’m a slave (it just feels right) for you (it just feels good)

                I won’t deny it, I’m not trying to hide it (baby)

Robert E. Lee: “I wish that I owned every slave in the South, for I would free them all to end this war.”

Britney: “Get it get it, get it get it (oh)

                 Get it get it, get it get it (oh)

                 Get it get it, get it get it (oh)

                I’m a slave for you (here we go now)

                I cannot hold it, I cannot control it

                I’m a slave for you, (here we go) I won’t deny it, (yeah)

                I’m not trying to hide it

Thomas Jefferson: “When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”

Missy Elliot: “I’d like to know ya so I could show ya

                        Put the pussy on ya like I told ya

                        Gimme all your numbers so I could phone ya

                      Your girl actin’ stank then call me over

                       Not on the bed, lay me on your sofa

                     Phone before you come, I need to shave my chocha

Thomas Jefferson: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Missy Elliot: “Just make sure you ahead of the game

                        Just ‘cause I got a lot of fame supa

                       Prince couldn’t get me change my name papa

                       Kunta Kinte a slave again, no sir

                       Picture black sayin,’ “Oh, yes a master.”

                The Britney Spear’s song just quoted was from a c.d. cleverly titled, “Britney,” released in 2001. The song’s title? “I’m A Slave For U.” What better replacement for a statue of a shallow slave-holder the likes of Robert E. Lee than a statue dedicated to such a “talented hero” as Ms. B.S.? I mean, Britney has worked to improve herself, and is an inspiration to millions!

                Missy Elliot’s heretofore cited opus is aptly titled “Work It,” and can be found on the c.d. “Under Construction,” released in 2002. It won Video of the Year Award honors in its category in 2003 and garnered Ms. Misdemeanor the award for Best Female Solo Rap Performance in 2004.

               Odd, the offensive statues that folks are demanding come down are of those who may have owned slaves. The ones folks are demanding go up are of those who’d apparently like to be slaves.

   This is an exciting trend! We could have a statue of Eminem replace those of Madison and Morris! A bust of Beyoncé could replace one of Samuel Adams. The Sex Pistols would surely better adorn a monument than any group of Founders or Confederates.

   Better Snoop Dogg than Boss Hogg, right?   

               

Robert Lee Bumped From ESPN Football Broadcast

            The Extremely Socialist Programming Network, or ESPN, recently announced they were pulling broadcaster Robert Lee off the William and Mary-Virginia college football game on September 2^nd. Understandably, the move was met with some incredulity by those still in possession of a cerebral cortex, causing ESPN to issue this stupefying non-apology: “We collectively made the decision with Robert to switch games as the tragic events in Charlottesville were unfolding, simply because of the coincidence of his name. In that moment it felt right to all parties. It’s a shame that this is even a topic of conversation and we regret that who calls play-by-play for a football game has become an issue.”

Robert Lee, who hasn’t addressed the "issue," is Asian, and, also unlike Robert E. Lee, who died 147 years ago, still alive. Yet, to avoid potentially offending tyrannical left-wing morons, the network moved Lee to another game. In doing so, the Extra Sensitive Programming Network has figuratively erected an unprecedented monument to stupidity.

How many Thomas or Tom Jeffersons are around today? How many folks are named John Adams? Should we continue to blithely allow them to hold their jobs? To wander around the country with impunity? Is this not potentially offensive to someone? How many Joseph Johnstons are in our midst?

There is an “Adolf Jewelers” in Richmond, Virginia. How can this be? It’s obviously a nod of approval to Adolf Hitler, and might even explain the Neo-Nazis at the recent rally in nearby Charlottesville. Moreover, there is an “Adolf Meats & Sausage Kitchen” in Hartford, Connecticut. ESPN itself is located in Bristol, a suburb of Hartford! Is it just a “coincidence” that this emporium is located on ESPN’s own stomping grounds? And remember, meat is murder, and stockyards are just concentration camps for livestock! Jawohl? What is ESPN trying to hide?

ABC employed Keith Jackson, arguably college football’s best- and most famous- announcer for many years. But Keith Jackson was born in the South, Georgia to be specific. Might he have had a secret nickname? Perhaps he was known to some as “Stonewall” Jackson? ABC acquired a controlling interest in…ESPN…in 1984. Simple coincidence, or a sign of something much, much darker? Hmmm? Inquiring minds want to know.

Newsweek Blasts Trump Women's Footwear Choices

                A recently published Newsweek piece attacked First Lady Melania Trump and first daughter Ivanka Trump for the crime of wearing high heels. The weighty- and timely- piece was titled “Melania, Ivanka, and Ivana Trump Wear High Heels, a Symbol of Everything That Is Beautiful and Horrifying About Them.” The author, Nina Burleigh, made the explosive claim that high heels are out of fashion, yet the Trump women still wear them to appear attractive to men, instead of wearing more comfortable footwear!

                Egads! Assemble another special counsel to investigate! They might be colluding with shoe companies, perhaps even Russian ones! And why would they want to appear attractive to men?! Their egregious behavior might rise to the level of high (heel) crimes and misdemeanors! Put our best gumshoes on the case immediately! We’ve got to get to the bottom of Heelgate!

                Ms. Burleigh lectures us thusly: “Historically, the Trumpian women’s shoe of choice was invented not for women but for aristocratic men, men who would never have to work, and who didn’t have to walk much but were carried in litters or carriages.” Nina, are you saying women “appropriated” men’s shoes?! Or are you insinuating that Melania and Ivanka don’t work and would like to be carried around- in “Trumpian” fashion- on litters or carriages?

                In a similar vein, a recent Forbes article stated that, while Melania is fashionable enough, she’s unlikely to achieve the fashion-icon status of…Michelle Obama. Author Rachelle Bergstein opined that Melania just sticks to a traditional or “classic style,” whereas Michelle “captured the zeitgeist in fashion.” This raises the age-old question, “WTF?!”

                Attacking First Ladies and presidential offspring used to be beyond the pale, as they aren’t elected, nor do they set public policy. Trump Derangement Syndrome has changed all that.  Let’s be honest, no matter what Michelle Obama wore, as long as it wasn’t a “Make America Great Again” hat, the mainstream media would sing the praises of her astounding fashion “zeitgeist.” Even sadder and more pathetic, if Michelle and Melania had simply switched outfits/styles, the media’s comments would’ve remained unchanged.

                Ms. Burleigh, Ms. Bergstein, I think we all know who the heels are in this case, don’t we?

                If the shoe fits…

Disunion: If They Could Talk To Us Now, Would It Matter?

                                                 If They Could Talk to Us Now

Heaven

Now

Various Founders and Former Presidents Talking

George Washington: “How I grieve for my children! It is more than I can bear to look down on them in such needless anguish! Did I not warn them that ‘If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter?’ Did I not state ‘When one side only of a story is heard and often repeated, the human mind becomes impressed with it insensibly?’ I did not ask to lead the Continental Army. I did not want to be president. I only wanted to go back home to Mount Vernon. But I tell you, how I wish I could go back and help them now!”

Thomas Jefferson: “Can they not know that ‘All men are created equal?’ Can they not see that ‘Laws made by common consent must not be trampled on by individuals?’  Have they lost complete the concept of Natural Law? I fear they no longer study the history of governments. ‘Lethargy is the forerunner of death to the public liberty.’ It pains me no end to observe such madness. And the universities, including my dear University of Virginia? They preach intolerance and hate, even as they purport to do the opposite. What became of logic, rhetoric, and rigorous debate? Do they not recall my pledge: ‘I have sworn on the altar of God, eternal hostility to all forms of tyranny over the minds of man?’”

John Adams: “When I said, ‘Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide,’ I meant it not literally in our case, but as a precautionary warning to be ever vigilant! ‘Posterity!  You will never know how much it cost our generation to preserve your freedom!’  I had hoped they would have made better use of it.”

Ben Franklin: “How I wish we could make them see that ‘They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. Without Freedom of Thought, there can be no such thing as Wisdom; and no such thing as public Liberty, without Freedom of Speech.’ We gave them a republic. Sadly, it looks as though they can no longer keep it.”

Robert E. Lee: “I said once, ‘There is a terrible war coming…I tell you, I wish that I owned every slave in the South, for I would free them all to avoid this war.’ I fear there is another terrible war coming. I also said, ‘I am rejoiced that slavery is abolished. I believe it will be greatly for the interest of the South. So fully am I satisfied of this that I would have cheerfully lost all that I have lost by the war, and have suffered all that I have suffered to have this object obtained.’ But, looking on them now, all these years later, tearing down statues and toppling monuments to history, is more than…I can…bear. ‘A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday does not know where it is today. Remember, we are all one country now. Dismiss from your mind all sectional feeling, and bring them up to be Americans.’ But, alas, they cannot hear me.”

U.S. Grant: “I wish I could simply tell them all to ‘Lay down their arms and go home.’ Not that they’d listen. ‘The most confident critics are generally those who know the least about the matter criticized.’ You know, ‘If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon’s, but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.’ My men and I did not fight to see this day come.”

Abraham Lincoln: “I had some dark days in office, but I don’t know if I ever was as pained as I am now. Perhaps if they had someone to tell them the truth, someone they believed was honest, maybe that person could inspire them, heal their divisions, lead them back home again. I never liked speechifying all that much, but how I wish I could go talk to them one more time. {Straightens up, turns, as if to give an address. His lips move again, but his words are barely audible}: ‘Twelve score and one year ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Seven score and fourteen years ago, they fought on hallowed ground at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to determine whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and dedicated, can long endure. We dedicated a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who gave their lives there that that nation might live, and that others might be free. It was altogether fitting and proper that we did so. It is not for you now, to detract from it, to desecrate it. The world must never forget what they did there.  Now we are again engaged in a civil war, one that will determine whether government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall long endure- or perish from the earth, never to return again.’ {Turns again, facing the others, tears streaming down his face}. It saddens me beyond words that it now appears all of our dead have- ultimately- died in vain.”

{They all link arms now. Somewhere a bugle sounds. They sing together, softly, in unison, for the union:}

“Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;

He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;

He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;

His truth is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

His truth is marching on…

I have read His fiery gospel writ in rows of burnished steel!

‘As ye deal with my condemners, so with you My grace shall deal!’…

With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me;

As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free!”…

United States, Europe Experience Total Eclipse

                A large swath of Europe and the United States is currently experiencing an eerie phenomenon, one that occurs very rarely in history: a total eclipse…of reason. In the U.S., this current eclipse is afflicting much of California and the West Coast, most of the nation’s big cities, especially on the Eastern seaboard, and almost all of its college campuses and their nearby environs. Virtually all of Western Europe is affected.

                This eclipse has been decades in the making, though it has dramatically accelerated in recent years, and now appears to be reaching totality. It is causing widespread confusion and mass hysteria, as many seem totally cut off from logic and sanity. Some experts say that the last time ignorance and idiocy reached current levels was during the Dark Ages, roughly between 500 and 1,000 A.D.

                As Europe has gone dumb, the United States has tended to follow. This eclipse has triggered such illogical behavior in America as progressives and African-Americans throwing acid on a bust of Lincoln…who freed the slaves in 1863, and yet not making much fuss whatsoever about statues of Robert C. Byrd, a proud Democrat who rose to the levels of “Kleagle” and “Exalted Cyclops” in the Ku Klux Klan before becoming the longest-serving member in the history of the United States Congress.

Certain scientists also believe the eclipse is responsible for Chelsea Clinton’s recent statement, referring to the “evils” of Confederate monuments, that she’s “never been in a church with a Lucifer statue.” This is a particularly odd statement given that her mom appears in at least one extant photograph planting a kiss on the aforementioned Sen. Byrd’s face, while her dad was chosen to give the now departed Senator a heart-felt and effusive eulogy. This utter lack of comprehension, discernment, and lucidity is also likely manifesting itself in the mainstream media’s nearly year-long obsession with the Trump-Russia collusion “scandal,” and simultaneous complete lack of interest in much more obvious scandals surrounding Hillary Clinton and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

This same blocking of judgment and suppression of sense could be behind an explosion of vile and nearly incomprehensible statements recently made by an assortment of “comedians,” actors, teachers, and politicians, sources say. It may also explain Nancy Pelosi referring to her differences with “President Bush” on at least four separate occasions in the past seven months.

It could even have been the cause of a few of President Trump’s tweets and his apparent flirtation with sending American troops to fight in Venezuela.

In any case, there is no doubt the Western World is in eclipse. The question is, will we ever see the light again?

Pets Damaging The Climate, Too, Study Says

                It seems your pets are peeving off some liberals these days. According to a new study, dogs’ and cats’ eating patterns have as much of an effect on the U.S.’s carbon footprint as does driving 13.6 million cars for a year.

                Fifi, say it isn’t so!

                The findings were published in the journal PLOS ONE (Get your subscription now! Operators are standing by!) and illustrate how these pets’ consumption of meat and other animal products has a massive and adverse- if largely unrecognized- effect on the climate. A 2014 study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (Buy one subscription, get the second for 50% off!) found that meat is the villain. (Imagine that). Apparently, cat’s and dogs’ meat-filled diets are responsible for 25 to 30 percent of the impact of meat production in the U.S. Experts aver that, compared to a plant-based diet, meat production requires more energy, land, and water, and has greater environmental consequences in terms of erosion, pesticides, and waste. Additionally, simply feeding American pets leads to approximately 5.1 million tons of feces every year, roughly equivalent to the total trash production of Massachusetts, and fully twice the fecal matter annually generated by Rosie O’Donnell.

According to the study, producing one kilogram of chicken results in roughly 3.7 kilograms of carbon dioxide, while generating one kilogram of pork produces 24 kilograms of carbon dioxide. The scientists real beef, however, is, of course, with beef. They claim that producing one kilogram of beef can generate up to 1,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas thought to be largely responsible for the supposed warming of the Earth’s climate.

                The Los Angeles Times reports that UCLA geographer Gregory Orkin calculated that the 163 million dogs and cats living in the United States accounted for an “overall caloric consumption” of “about 19 percent that of humans in the U.S,” approximately the same amount of calories that the country of France consumes. Moreover, American doggies and kitties “eat enough animal product to account for about 64 million tons of methane and nitrous oxide, two other powerful greenhouse gases.”

                The climate change alarmists (CCA) are concerned that not only do developed countries such as the U.S. consume so much meat, but that developing countries are increasing their meat consumption, too.

                “Dad, stop buying Fido that meat-centric dog food…and put own that f!#%*ng burger and pick up some arugula for Christ’s sake.”

                The Times article helpfully explains that dogs can readily digest starches, so they could get much more of their required protein from non-animal sources than their owners may realize.

                Orkin adds: “I certainly hope these kinds of numbers will encourage the market to consider adding those as market choices, and I also think that individuals can make choices.” Individuals can make choices? Really? Not if leftists have their way.
                To a committed progressive, the planet would be far better off if humans, their pets, and their livestock would simply cease to be.
                Other humans, that is.

                It may indeed be hard to teach an old dog new tricks. But this is just another dog and pony show.

               

Sex No Longer Needed In Future, Professor Says

                Hank Greely, the director of Stanford University Law School’s Center for Law and the Bio-sciences, believes that- within three decades- people will no longer be having sex to procreate. Instead, Professor Greely thinks that parents will simply choose from a range of embryos created in a lab from their DNA.

                This is already feasible, and Mr. Greely believes it will become dramatically cheaper in the near future. This option would give the parents more control of their potential offspring as well as allowing them to prevent diseases. The process currently involves taking a skin sample from the female to create stem cells, which are then used in the creation of eggs. The eggs are then fertilized with the male’s sperm cells, resulting in an array of embryos from which to select.

                The embryos would be screened to identify any potential diseases, and professor Greely believes the process will soon get to a point where parents will have the ability to select their child’s hair and eye color. Britain’s Telegraph reported that the Stanford professor, speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festival, opined: “I think one of the hardest things about this will be all the divorces that come about when she wants embryo number 15 and he wants embryo number 64.” He added: “I think the decision making will be a real challenge for people. How do you weigh a slightly higher chance of diabetes with slightly lower risk of schizophrenia against better musical ability and a much lower risk of colon cancer? Good luck.”

                Looking to the future no longer holds the allure that it once did for me. Robots taking our jobs. Artificial intelligence aiding Big Government and Big Tech in knowing our every thought and action- and telling us what beliefs are acceptable and which ones aren’t. Sexbots. Designer babies. A remake of Roseanne.

                Furthermore, experts are telling us that people won’t own their own vehicles anymore, that we’ll all just send for a ride as needed. Where is the romance in any of this? Where is the adventure. Where is the humanity?

                We won’t be “parking” with our sweeties anymore, a practice that all but defined a good chunk of the latter 20^th century in America. We won’t “have to” drive to a nice resort, either, for a romantic tryst.

    “Honey, whaddya say you and I…you know (winks).”

                “You mean (bats her eyes)?!”

                “You know I do (in a low voice). Let’s call for a car and have it take us to the lab to pick out an embryo!”

                “Oh, Henry, can we?!”

    “Hell, yeah! That’s what I’m I’m talkin’ 'bout!”

                 Paging Aldous Huxley. Your Brave New World is here.

Planned Parenthood Issues New Guidelines For Parents

                Planned Parenthood (Euphemism of the Year award winner in 2004, 2006, and 2016!), apparently not content to just slaughter over 300,000 babies every year, has now decided to lecture those who didn’t opt to abort their children.

                The organization has laid out its new Planned Parenthood Guidelines for Parents on a page of its website titled, “How do I talk with my preschooler about their body?” In a nutshell, the helpful advice boils down to: Your genitals have nothing to do with your gender! That’s right boys and girls very young people, your genitalia are completely irrelevant! So, parents, the next time you’re talking to your three or four-year-old about sex or gender, make sure to let them know that the one has absolutely nothing to do with the other! That shouldn’t confuse the little tykes in any way, and should set them on course to have a stable, healthy, rewarding life!

                If a child should inquire why boys and girls have different bodies, the world’s favorite abortion provider recommends immediately introducing the little one to the concept of transgender identity: “While the most simple answer is that girls have vulvas and boys have penises/testicles, that answer isn’t true for every boy and girl. Boy, girl, man and woman are words that describe gender identity, and some people with the gender identities ‘boy’ or ‘man’ have vulvas, and some with the gender identity ‘girl’ or ‘woman’ have penises/testicles. Your genitals don’t make you a boy or a girl.”

                Tim Wildmon, the president of the American Family Association, an organization dedicated to conservative values that has recently been labeled a “hate group’ by some media outlets, disagrees, stating that encouraging parents to discuss gender identity with children who “haven’t yet learned the alphabet” is “preposterous.” Wildmon added, “What Planned Parenthood is promoting here is just stupidity masked as sensitivity. If you’re an adult and trying to talk to a child about whether they’re really a boy or girl, you’re at risk of harming them psychologically. Unless a boy or girl is exhibiting behavior or says that they’re messed up about what they are, there’s no reason to bring something like that up (at such a young age).”

                I wish that what Planned Parenthood (whose supporters often state: “I’m standing with PP!”)  was doing in this regard was just the result of stupidity or hyper-sensitivity, but, as in their treatment of babies- and their parts- there is something much darker behind its “guidelines.” It is a (non-lethal) form of child-molestation. One that could be lethal to society.

                Anyway, I’m sure that, once the wee ones do master the alphabet, they will soon find updated beginning readers to instruct them.

                “See Dick’s vagina. See Jane’s dick. See spot run.” And run. And run.

                As for me? Well, call me old-fashioned, but I’m standing with my “Pee-Pee!” 

Progressives Attempt To Topple Statues, America

                Progressives are in a rush to erase history and topple America, one statue at a time.

               College professors are leading the attacks by “fomenting at the mouth.” They have been routinely spewing crazed, violent, depraved- and stupendously ignorant and hypocritical- comments about President Trump and his supporters since the time of his election. These leftist thugs brook no argument, tolerate no dissent, and openly advocate killing those they disagree with even as they purport to be sickened by white supremacists and the “alt-right” assembling at rallies.

                There are so many examples of this it makes it difficult to choose just one for illustrative purposes, but California (no!) State University at Fresno professor Lars Miaschak has several contenders for vilest utterance. This past February he tweeted: “To save American democracy, Trump must hang. The sooner and the higher, the better.” Might this have gotten a bit more media coverage if a university professor had tweeted that about President Obama? Miaschak must hate white people. But it doesn’t matter, only Black Lives Matter, and the media only focus on Trump’s tweets.

                Maischak teaches American history, with a focus on the 19^th century, including the history and tenets of Karl Marx. Why doesn’t any of this surprise me? And, speaking of statues, in another February tweet the professor wonders if money is being collected to erect a monument honoring “the Trump assassin.”

                Down goes Thomas Jefferson, who essentially freed the entire human race from countless centuries of bondage to kings and despotic governments, and up goes a presidential assassin. Say, that is “fundamental change!”

                But the Tweedy One was just getting started. He called for the Republican Party to be banned in the United States. Yes! It’s always good for a democracy to go from a two-party system to a single party one! Prof. Maischak stated that he defines “justice” as being two Republicans murdered for every illegal immigrant deported. Who could argue with that?

                Miaschak also said that Mary, mother of Jesus Christ, should have aborted Jesus so he could be “spared this clerical-fascist crap.” Say what?

These statements alone should tell sentient beings everything they need to know about the “soul” of leftists- or the lack thereof- and their ultimate goals.  

                What is even more chilling is the fact that- at least in slightly milder forms- this type of leftist dogma has spread throughout Silicon Valley, Hollywood, academia, the mainstream media, and has permeated “Big Business” in general to a significant degree.

                A California State University at Fresno spokesperson issued the following statement to the Daily Caller: “Lars Maischak is employed as a lecturer at Fresno State. Statements made on his personal social media accounts are his alone and are not endorsed by or reflect the position of the University.”

                What a bold and thorough denunciation of repeated, explicit incitements to violent crime, murder and insurrection! Cal-State Fresno doesn’t endorse the mass-murder of those with opposing viewpoints? Yay!

The school also claimed Maischak was only a “lecturer” …and eventually placed him on paid leave. It recently said, however, that it will not be bringing him back this fall.

Mount Rushmore Announcement: Less Is More

Washington, D.C.

July 4, 2018

National Park Service (U.S. Department of the Interior)

Office of The Director of The National Park Service (DNPS)

DNPS: “Welcome, esteemed members of the press- and people of all genders- to this historic announcement. As you all know, for some time now there has been a growing awareness of white privilege, and the attendant celebration thereof via hurtful and triggering statues, paintings, orchestral pieces, movies and television shows, holidays, phrases, sports team nicknames, town and lake names, jokes, gibes, insinuations, innuendos, anecdotes, and a long list of other evils that I won’t enumerate now.

“This is why I am so pleased to be able to share with you today the news that, in the spirit of inclusivity, tolerance and healing, two of the likenesses on Mount Rushmore will be eviscerated from their erstwhile places of honor. The countenances of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, former slave owners both, will be blasted from the face of the rock outcropping- and thus, literally, from the face of the Earth- as soon as circumstances permit. Yes, thank you! Calm down, please! Though these faces were made of stone, our hearts are not! While it’s true these two men accomplished some great things, such as defeating the British, establishing the most successful democratic republic in the history of the world, setting the precedent for all presidents to come, and declaring that all men are created equal and are granted certain unalienable rights by their Creator, they were also deeply flawed and unworthy of adoration such as Gutzon Borglum bestowed upon them. Additionally, the National Park Service, in conjunction with the U.S. Department of the Interior, will re-scrutinize the bios of Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln in an attempt to determine their continuing merit to adorn this rocky shrine.

“Moreover, the Park Service is conducting a study to determine the feasibility of constructing a ‘Black Mount Rushmore’ in the nearby hills. After all, these are the ‘Black Hills,’ and should reflect that in who we honor there. In fact, we are already accepting nominations for figures to be potentially ensconced on the possible future shrine. So far, President (and Michelle) Obama, Muhammed Ali, Prince, Oprah, Maxine Waters, the Reverend Al Sharpton, Rahm Emanuel, Keith Ellison, Redd Foxx, Dennis Rodman, Lebron James, O.J. Simpson, and Malcolm X have been suggested as candidates, but none of these are set in stone…ha, ha, ha! A little Park Service humor, there. Anyway, keep the suggestions coming!

“I am similarly elated to bring closure to the confusion regarding the images on Stone Mountain, in Georgia. While the depictions of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and ‘Stonewall’ Jackson have all been removed, we have decided that those of their horses, ‘Blackjack,’ ‘Traveler,’ and ‘Little Sorrel,’ respectively, can stay, as they were also oppressed victims of the white (humanoid) patriarchy.

“Thank you all for coming. I can take a few questions if there are any.”

First Annual Fundraiser For Invasive Species Prevention And Illegal Immigration Advocacy

Edison Ballroom

New York City

September 11, 2017

Chester E. Dogooder, host: “I’d like to welcome you all to the first annual Fundraiser for Planned Diversity. We are honored to have representatives from the Alterity Administration (AA), Contrariety Committee (CC), and the Directorate of Diversity and Dissimilitude (DDD) attending tonight’s gathering!

                “We meet here this evening with dual purposes. First, I am thrilled to say that tonight we’ll have a chance to make a difference in the fight against invasive species. I’m sure I don’t have to tell any of you how much these invasives- terrestrial and aquatic alike- have cost us in terms of almost unimaginable and inalterable damage to ecosystems and infrastructure, to say nothing about the loss of domestic flora and fauna. From Africanized (“killer”) bees and Asian carp to zebra mussels, the United States is under a sustained assault from alien invaders that is literally changing our landscape and altering our way of life.

                “Sadly, once these invasive species are established, they tend to crowd out native species, and there is almost no way to reverse this, or even reach an equilibrium. Estimates of the cost of fighting this war on invasives run as high as $137 billion a year. And, experts say, this is a drop in the bucket compared to what it will take to seriously deal with the problem. The Alien Species Prevention and Enforcement Act of 1992 makes it illegal to transport a plant or animal deemed injurious to the U.S. through the mail, but this is, of course, just a band-aid on a problem requiring tourniquets and a full-body wrap. Currently, mechanical removal, chemical control, biological control and interference with reproduction are also tools being used to beat back the alien invaders, the list of which is long and growing. For example, Kudzu is called “The Vine That Ate the South.” The brown tree snake has caused the extinction of at least 12 bird species on Guam alone. European starlings were introduced to America via the depositing of just 100 birds in New York City’s Central Park, and now are found everywhere in the U.S., often to the detriment of native species. The emerald ash borer is on the verge of wiping out the entire $25.1 billion dollar a year ash lumber industry. Zebra mussels and spiny water fleas have permanently changed the character of thousands of lakes and rivers. The litany of damage caused by non-native species goes on and on. You all will have an opportunity, through silent auctions, sweepstakes, lottery tickets, and, of course, straight-up donations, to help raise some serious money to help prevent any further spread- or introduction- of invasive species.

                “With that said, I am equally excited to talk about the second part of tonight’s fundraiser, our goal to raise five million dollars…that’s right…$5 million…to help illegal immigrants get into this country, and sanctuary cities to defeat the fascistic attempts of the Trump administration to deport those that are already here. These blatantly racist and xenophobic attempts to prevent those that are different from us from having a chance to thrive in this country are as appalling as they are shocking and counterproductive. We know how much immigrants add to our society. The richness, flavor and diversity they bring with them can only reinvigorate America, and add another priceless multicultural mosaic to the vast and ever-changing tapestry of the New World. Whether engaging in female genital mutilation, lobbying for Sharia Law, or just denouncing Uncle Sam while taking his entitlement monies, these immigrants are vital to the long-term health and viability of the United States of America. 

                “I encourage you all to bid in our silent auctions. Peruse the tables around the perimeter of the ballroom for fantastic opportunities to bid on items such as aquatic weed removal systems and illegal-immigrant aid kits! Sweepstakes and lottery information can be found just to the left of the ‘Don’t Build a Wall Around Your Heart’ booth, located next to the all-gender bathroom facilities. Secure donation boxes can be found next to the food and drink kiosk, featuring locally-sourced foods and beverages. ‘Coexist’ bumper stickers are available for just $5 each, or five for $20 at the kiosk. All right folks, thank you for coming, and let’s get this party started, shall we?! That’s what I like to hear! With that, I’ll turn it over to tonight’s featured speaker, the mayor of Berkeley, California, Jesse Arreguin!”

Donald Trump Versus Kim Jong-un: A War Of Words

                Remarkably, many in the media, both In the U.S. and around the world, are portraying President Trump as a bigger threat to the planet than Kim Jong-un. And it’s not just many in the media that are mad. Politicians and entertainment types have jumped on the Raving Train, too. Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) recently said of Trump: “North Korea is a serious thing. You have this guy making bellicose threats against somebody else who has very little to lose over there. Kim Jong Un, the world always thought he was not a responsible leader; well, he’s acting more responsible than this guy is.” This guy?

                Not to be outdone, 62 House Democrats wrote a letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, expressing their “profound concern” over statements by Trump they purport to believe have “dramatically increased tensions with North Korea and raised the specter of nuclear war.” They called Trump’s “fire and fury” speech “irresponsible and dangerous.”

                In the interest of fairness, let’s examine what each of the two leaders have said regarding the current crisis. First, here are some verifiable (and certifiable) quotes from the Dear Leader, Kim Jong-un, and his official government mouthpieces:

                After overseeing the launch of a Hwasong-14 missile in early July, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported that Kim Jong-un exclaimed: “American bastards would not be very happy with this gift sent on the July 4 anniversary.” Then, breaking into peals of laughter, he said: “We should send them gifts once in a while to help break their boredom.” The Dear Leader then added that the missile looked “as handsome as a good-looking boy.” Alrighty then.

                Several weeks before that statement, Jong-un averred that his country “can tip new-type intercontinental ballistic rockets with more powerful nuclear warheads and keep any cesspool of evils in the earth, including the U.S. mainland, within our striking range.”

                Then there is this nugget: “If the American imperialists provoke us a bit, we will not hesitate to slap them with a pre-emptive nuclear strike. The United States must choose! It’s up to you whether the nation called the United States exists on this planet or not.” 

Speaking of pre-emptive strikes: "The KPA Strategic Force is now carefully examining the operational plan for making an enveloping fire at the areas around Guam with medium-to-long-range strategic ballistic rocket Hwasong-12 in order to contain the U.S. major military bases on Guam including the Anderson Air Force Base.”

KCNA reported: “The Trump administration should not run riot, thinking twice about the catastrophic consequences to be entailed by its foolhardy military moves. It should properly understand the spirit and will of the Korean army and people to annihilate the enemy and finally conclude the standoff with the U.S.”

                And: “The Korean People’s Army will reduce the bases of aggression and provocation to ashes with its invincible Hwasong rockets tipped with nuclear warheads and reliably defend the security of the country and its people’s happiness in case the US and the South Korean puppet forces fire even a single bullet at the territory of the DPRK.”

            Also, in a statement distributed through state-run media: "If the Trump administration does not want the American empire to meet its tragic doom in its tenure, they had better talk and act properly.”

                Then there was the recent statement boasting that the North Korean military is "capable of fighting any war the U.S. wants is now on the standby to launch fire into its mainland, waiting for an order of final attack.”

And my personal favorite, from the KCNA again: "We consider the U.S. no more than a lump which we can beat to a jelly any time.”

Since taking power, Jong-un has executed scores of his generals and party officials, some via anti-aircraft missile fire, for such crimes as falling asleep during a meeting with the Dear Leader. The regime has referred to defectors from the starving nation as the “burlesque of human scum.” Kim Jong-un had his uncle and mentor, Jang Song-thaek, executed in December 2013, accusing him of plotting a coup. He labeled Song-thaek “worse than a dog,” and said he had “lost his mind due to his greed for power.” Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

                Yet, on the bright side, upon the successful launch of a long-range missile at the end of 2012, the then newly-ensconced leader said, “Suddenly, the whole country is engulfed with happiness and the people endlessly inspired.”

                Contrast these “statements” with president Trump’s craziest and most “belligerent” utterances:

"North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen... he has been very threatening beyond a normal state. They will be met with fire, fury and frankly power the likes of which this world has never seen before.” Trump followed that up by saying, “if anything, maybe that statement wasn’t tough enough.”

He has also said of Jong-un, “He will not get away with what he’s doing,” and that, if he attacks the United States, “He will regret it fast.”

Trump also stated that the U.S. is “locked and loaded” if a military solution is required, and most recently remarked: “We will see what happens. We think that lots of good things can happen and we can also have a bad solution.”

It is decades of “diplomacy,” patience, and un-seriousness that got us into the situation we- and the world- now find ourselves in, and that allowed the Hermit Kingdom to become an existential threat to most of the rest of the planet.

One of North Korea’s military leaders recently called Trump "bereft of reason," and said he was "extremely getting on the nerves" of its armed forces.

Bingo.

That’s exactly what Trump wants, and exactly what’s required to eventually put an end to this ridiculous Mexican standoff. For over 241 years, the world has been better off with a confident and ascendant America, whether it chooses to recognize that fact or not. Theodore Roosevelt famously said, “Speak softly and carry a big stick.” After Pearl Harbor, F.D.R. proclaimed: “With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph -- so help us God.” Later in that same war, Harry Truman was very clear on the potential consequences of the hydrogen bomb.

 J.F.K. stated: “Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, and oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty.”

And Ronald Reagan went to Berlin and stood outside of the Brandenburg gate and said: “Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”

A madman repeatedly threatens to unleash a pre-emptive nuclear strike on America, and yet many major American newspapers recently published headlines like the one that adorned the front page of my big city rag: “Trump amps up his bellicose threats.” That is truly crazy.

The press, academia, Hollywood, et. al., are without question, “bereft of reason.”

Twenty-odd years of “sanity” in dealing with the Kim clan has proven to be in vain- and therefore insane. Continuing to do the same thing and expecting different results is one definition of insanity. It is time that we got the attention of the Dear Leader by acting “worse than a dog.” Like a rabid junkyard dog, to be precise.  Perhaps then he will realize that this big dog will once again fight if you rattle its cage.

Newsflash to snowflakes: North Korea is the world’s anus, and only a bad-ass can stop it from crapping on him.

Drag Queen Story Hour

                It’s a “thing,” as kids might say. More and more public libraries around the country are inviting drag queens to read story books to young children. Three of them, in fact, recently read to the kiddies at the Indianapolis Central Library, while bedecked in their scurrilous garb.

                Heather Pugh, a parent attending the “recital” with her children, told USA Today: “Some parents choose to expose their children to religion, some parents choose to expose their children to culture, the arts. I’m working to teach my children to be open-minded, loving, accepting people.”

                That would be the perfect modern defense for the 38-year-old teacher who is caught having sex with a 15-year-old student. “You wish to condemn me? I’m just more open-minded, loving, and accepting than most are.”

                Another parent, Stephen Lane, said, “I want kids to experience just the fun of being around drag queens, the creativity, their style, their expression of their individuality.” Lane is the library’s “indispensable man” when it comes to planning programs for children, according to the newspaper.

                Not to be outdone, the Brooklyn Public Library held a similar taxpayer-funded event in May. They touted the event by stating: “What do drag queens and children have in common? They love dressing up and all things sparkly and fancy! Drag Queen Story Hour captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity in childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models.” That is unabashedly queer and nonsensical indoctrination.

                An Indianapolis library spokesperson told Todd Starnes of Fox News that there is nothing wrong with teaching wee little ones about gender fluidity, saying: “Young children often exhibit gender fluidity in their play, and Drag Queen Story Hour reinforces for them that there is nothing wrong with that.”

                Starnes himself admits that the Brooklyn library said the response to Drag Queen Story Hour has been “overwhelmingly positive.” This in itself is evidence of a nearly complete breakdown in societal morality and sanity. He says he asked the library if they would “ever allow ministers to dress up in clerical garb and read Bible stories to the children.”

                I think we all know the answer to that question. But really, who in their right mind would expect God’s word, as told in Genesis and other books in the Old and New Testaments, to compare with plump, gay guys reading children’s stories in lispy voice, whilst clad in cheeky, colorful, frilly women’s apparel…with all that implies?

Bad Coup Rising

I see a bad coup a-rising

I see leftists holding sway

I see overreach and lyin’

I see the New York Times today

Don’t tweet out tonight

They’re bound to take your rights

There’s a bad coup on the rise

I hear hypocrites a-blowin’

I know the end is coming soon

They’ll say the ocean’s overflowin’

I hear the voice of rage and ruin

Don’t tweet out tonight

They’re bound to pick a fight

There’s a bad coup on the rise

I hope you got your things together

I hope you’re quite prepared for lies

Looks like we’re in for nasty weather

You know they’re planning your demise

Oh don’t tweet out tonight

They’re bound to take your rights

There’s a bad coup on the rise

There’s a bad coup on the rise

(Sing to the cadence of “Bad Moon Rising” by John Fogerty/Creedence Clearwater Revival)
