San Francisco School District To Drop Word "Chief"

 

Public schools in San Francisco are dropping the word "chief" from job titles because of the word's connotation with Native Americans, school officials said. For example, no longer will division chiefs be referred to as "chiefs" in the San Francisco Unified School District, spokesperson Gentle (!) Blythe told the San Francisco Chronicle. The decision applies to all of the school district's 10,000 employees.

Blythe blithely said, “While there are many opinions on the matter, our leadership team agreed that, given that Native American members of our community have expressed concerns over the use of the title, we are no longer going to use it.” Ergo, the school district will need to come up with a new word to replace “chief” in job titles like "chief technology officer" or "chief of staff."

So, out with Chief Executive Officer, or CEO. Ban the use of Chief Information Officer (CIO.) And permanently round-file Chief Operating Officer (COO.) For that matter, handkerchief should be verboten, as well.  

And, if words with laudable and dignified connotations such as “chief” and “brave” are deemed offensive, then those such as “tribe,” “Teepee,” “tomahawk,” “maze,” and “pemmican” must be shit-canned, as well. If for no other reason than to avoid appropriation.

Ironically, the word “chief” apparently doesn’t even have native American roots. Rather, it is an English word borrowed from an Old French word (chef) meaning “leader,” which was itself derived from the Latin “capus,” meaning captain. In its noun form, chief simply means the leader or head of a group of people.

              This means, I think, that the San Francisco Unified School District is acting chiefly out of mischief.

Yale Now Has More Administrators Than Undergraduate Students

 

Several things have combined to effectively ruin “higher education.” The virtually total takeover of upper academia by The Left, snowflake students who are the spawn of “helicopter” parents, and the very idea that every kid should go to college among them.

In addition to—and perhaps because of—that, there is now one administrator for every undergrad student at colleges like Yale. More than one, actually. There are 4,664 undergrads at that Ivy League institution, according to the Yale Facts page. And more than 5,000 administrators currently working there, according to the Yale Daily News.

Many students (and parents) complain when the student-to-teacher ratio is too high, as when a class size creeps up from, say, 20 to 30 or more students. I get that. When class sizes are too large, it can result in some students not receiving the attention/instruction they need to adequately absorb the curriculum.

On the other hand, having more than one administrator for every student is preposterous—and counterproductive-- in the extreme, and would necessarily lead to fewer teachers, tuition hikes, or both.

It is no wonder that the cost of attending college has gone up so much over the years.

And, really, how many diversity, equity, and inclusion coordinators, directors, and facilitators does one school need?

Good luck recouping your investment in higher education, kiddies.

 

World Economic Forum Speakers Signal Start Of Worldwide Dystopian Nightmare

 

Brave New World? You decide.

J. Michael Evans, president of the Alibaba Group-- a Chinese multinational technology company—bragged at the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland: “We’re developing through technology an ability for consumers to measure their own carbon footprint. What does that mean? That's where are they traveling, how are they traveling, what are they eating, what are they consuming on the platform?”

Not to be outdone, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla told those attending the WEF about a new technology his company has developed: “It is a, basically biological chip that is in the tablet. And once we take the tablet and dissolves into the stomach, sends a signal that you took the tablet. So, imagine the applications of that – the compliance. The insurance companies know that the medicines patients should take, they take them.” He added, “It is fascinating what happens in this field.” He should have said, “It is frightening what happens in this field.”

And then there was World Economic Forum Founder and Chairman Klaus Schwab telling the audience of over 2,500 global government and business leaders: “The future is built by us, by a powerful community such as you here in this room.” If you say so yourselves.

This year’s WEF theme was “History at a Turning Point: Government Policies and Business Strategies.”

Just what the world needs, a global fascist oligarchy monitoring what we consume and where we go, with the aid of ingestible computer chips that notify authorities whether we have been naughty or nice.

What the world actually does need is for we the people, the non-elite, to declare our freedom and independence and reclaim control from the titans of Big Government and Big Business.

That wouldn’t be easy. And, unfortunately, the odds against us doing so appear almost overwhelming.

“So, hey! Where are you going? What are you eating? Have you taken your meds yet? I sure hope you are fully vaxxed and boosted. No? Why not, plebe?! Do you not do as you are told?! Well, you’ll have plenty of time to try to explain yourself at the Gulag. The Archipelago is beautiful this time of year.”

Does Science Owe Reparations To God?

 

Does science owe reparations to God? Consider: God gave science everything to investigate, to supposedly prove or disprove. God gave humans faith and belief and the chance at everlasting life. Yet many scientists have done all they can to supersede God, banish Him, disprove His existence. And, in doing so, their clinical virtue signaling has robbed hope end meaning from the lives of countless millions, and, sadly, too often made a mockery of science itself. Someone once said, “They blinded me with science.” Those words ring especially true in this (almost?) post-pandemic time of hoaxes. God is the way, the truth, and the life. Whether many scientists wish to admit it or not, science mostly grasps at determining what God's natural laws are and what they do. Neither scientists nor “experts” created the cosmos. They—like the rest of us—merely try to interpret it. But it is clear that many of them simply do not like the idea of a power higher than their own. (See also: Dr. Fauci.) The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche famously stated, “God is dead.”

At one time in the past, it was “settled” science that the Earth was flat, and was the center of our solar system, if not the universe. The most learned doctors believed in using leeches to bloodlet the seriously ill. In the 1960s and 1970s, most climate experts considered global cooling to be an existential threat. And many thought the “Population Bomb” was going to go off in the coming years causing mass starvation across the planet. We were soon to experience a “Silent Spring” due to a mass extinction event.

Between 2002 and 2006, scientists--- and Al Gore-- stated that Mount Kilimanjaro would be permanently devoid of snow and ice by 2020 at the latest. That hasn’t happened.

 More recently, COVID-19 was first considered by experts to be no big deal-- and we were told to go about our business, masks not necessary. Shortly thereafter, the same experts told us that it may, in fact, kill us all…if we didn’t wear at least one mask and stay home until otherwise notified. Finally, we were told that we must get vaccinated, that if enough of us got vaccinated we would reach “herd immunity” and could get back to something approaching normal. Turns out, the vaccines did not prevent anyone from transmitting—or contracting-- the virus, perhaps repeatedly. Good thing previous vaccines against smallpox, measles, and polio didn’t work that way.

None of this is to say that science isn't necessary, just that it's not flawless. God, on the other hand is both. Scientists squabble over whether the universe has always been here or if there was a beginning, a “Big Bang.” if there was a beginning, how did it occur, what triggered it? What made RNA and DNA appear, etc.?

Science is but a tool mankind uses in an attempt to ascertain information, to identify the truth. But the truth is, scientists, like men in general, struggle with this endeavor. They-- and we-- often make wrong   assumptions, inaccurate guesses, and off base hypotheses. Some no longer believe there is such a thing as the truth. Ultimately, we will find that the truth is…the truth is. And that it resides in God. And we should be grateful for that.

Meanwhile, the science is never settled…or it wouldn't be science. Anyone that tells you otherwise is not a legitimate scientist. The God that made us, piqued our curiosity, and bid us to search the heavens, made science possible as He made everything else.

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

We all owe Him reparations for that.

Miami Heat Blatantly Politicize Tragedy

 

Decent people—and organizations-- do not politicize a tragedy. They do not use a tragedy to further their own aims or agenda. Nor do they take advantage of a calamity in a blatant, public attempt at virtue-signaling.  There is no virtue in that.

Prior to Wednesday night’s NBA playoff game between the Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics, the stadium announcer stated: “The Heat organization, the Boston Celtics and the NBA family also mourn those who lost their lives in the senseless shooting that took place yesterday at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.” The announcer then added, “Our hope is that the families, friends, coworkers and loved ones of all those impacted by this tragedy will find the comfort and strength they need, as they carry on in honor of those whose lives were lost.” A moment of silence was then observed for the 19 children and two teachers who were slaughtered by a mentally ill 18-year-old named Salvador Ramos.

And then the Heat broadcast the following announcement: "The Heat urges you to contact your state senators by calling 202-224-3121 to leave a message demanding their support for commonsense gun laws. You can also make change at the ballot box. Visit Heat.com/vote to register and let your voice be heard this fall." This is unprecedented and deeply disturbing. So now major league professional sports teams are going to urge fans attending games to contact their representatives to lobby for or against specific causes, policies and bills in a manner that fits their political agenda? In the Heat’s case, the fans were told to pressure lawmakers to pass gun control laws. Or vote them out of office. Way to lecture and divide us yet again, Heat! Yay, team!

What’s next? Will the Heat announce the names, contact information, and addresses of congressmen with whom the team has political disagreements over its public address system before or during future games?

What’s arguably even worse is that those in charge of the NBA, and most of the league’s teams, are stomach-turning, world-class frauds and hypocrites. They voice no concern over the million or more Uighurs that have been imprisoned, tortured, or killed in China, lest the world’s biggest market be denied them.

Let’s pretend the Miami Heat broadcast the following announcement over its public address system prior to a game: ”The Miami Heat condemns the slaughter of millions of innocent babies in their mothers’ wombs, and urges you to contact your state senators by calling 202-224-3121 to leave a message demanding their support for commonsense abortion laws.” Think the mainstream media, Democrat politicians, Deep State, and the Left in general would be a bit upset?

Yet the Heat’s blatant use of a horrific tragedy to harangue its fans has gone largely unreported. Why the difference? Well, first, we know the media will not report on this because they don’t find anything at all wrong with the Heat’s political pressure/coercion because it fits their own narrative and that’s all that matters to them. Second, to put it bluntly, most Republicans are pussies. They go along to get along, cautiously stick their finger in the wind to determine what people are thinking and who they might offend and how it might affect their chances to be elected, rather than acting bravely and on principle.

What if, say, the Minnesota Vikings or Green Bay Packers issued the following pregame announcement to their fans: “In light of the fact that forced COVID-19 vaccinations have harmed countless thousands—and even killed many—we urge you to contact your representatives and pressure them to do the right thing…or else! Visit our website for tips on how best to antagonize them and unnerve their families.”

Or if the Texas Rangers announced: “Since the breakdown of the family and loss of faith in God has directly and inevitably led to horrific actions like the Uvalde shooting, we urge fans to call your representatives and demand that Bible study classes be made mandatory for all K-12 students.”

Or, prior to an Oklahoma City Thunder game: “The Oklahoma City Thunder share in your grief over the current administration’s energy, fiscal, and other policies that have hurt so many with the resultant skyrocketing inflation, supply line disruptions, rising crime rates, food shortages, etc., etc. Please go to UKCThunder.com/vote to register and let your voice be heard!”

Fans, do let your voices be heard. Don’t let teams use you like two-ply toilet paper. After all, you pay for everything they do. Push back on them, to paraphrase Maxine Waters.

And remember, its not the Heat, but the stupidity that’s so bad.

House Passes "Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act" Targeting Americans' Thought, Speech

 

The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a new bill that would greatly enhance the federal government’s ability to spy on Americans in an alleged effort to combat “domestic” terrorism.

H.R. 350, or the “Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act,” passed by a margin of 222-203. The vote was almost entirely along party lines, with every single House Democrat and a lone House Republican-- the reprehensible RINO Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois-- voting to approve the measure.

The proposal would reportedly create “domestic terrorism offices” within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Justice (DOJ), and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), according to The Hill. The offices would be tasked with “monitoring and scrutinizing potential terror activity,” with a heavy emphasis on terror activity deemed motivated by “white supremacist” or “neo-Nazi” sentiments.

Democrats have predictably framed the bill as a necessary response to the mass shooting perpetrated by an avowed white supremacist at a Buffalo, New York, grocery store last week. The perpetrator, however, characterized himself online as being in the “mild-moderate-authoritarian Left category.”

Many Republicans have slammed the bill as a frightening example of government overreach. Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy, for example, said the bill constitutes the “empowerment of the federal bureaucracy to target Americans.” He added, “This is nothing more than empowering the federal government to police thought and speech in the United States of America, and we should oppose it roundly.”

A recent National Review editorial noted that investigative resources will be arbitrarily diverted towards fighting alleged “white supremacy” instead of tracking other potential sources of domestic terrorism. The editorial argued that the Democrats’ proposal “would narrow the scope of terrorist activity that existing statutes can reach — for the blatantly political purpose of labeling white supremacism, alone, as the nation’s urgent domestic security challenge.”

This is arguably unconstitutional—and dangerous—especially at a time when mainstream conservative perspectives on matters such as immigration law, Critical Race Theory, The 1619 Project, the early sexualization of children by the education establishment, and the concomitant recommendation and support of gender reassignment procedures, are often preposterously deemed to be either examples of “white supremacy” or “domestic terrorism” itself.

The Democratic Party has a history of visceral, palpable disdain for Black people. Today, the party hides that disdain behind policies that, on the surface, may appear to be beneficial to Black (capitalize the ‘B’!) folks, but are, in practice, deeply damaging. What is new, however, is Democrats’ visceral, palpable hatred of white (do not capitalize the ‘W’!) people. And babies. And women. And logic, reason, biological reality, the truth, and, well, you get the picture.

But back to terrorism. Bizarrely, Democrats believe there are three types of terrorism. There is “good” terrorism, “Justifiable/understandable” terrorism, and “bad” terrorism. “Good” terrorism is the kind that they believe helps them in their insane, psychotic desire for eternal power no matter the cost. This is why they subsidize and support groups such as BLM and Antifa, and don’t mind when large tracts of inner cities are burned down, looted and strewn with detritus…even if innocent or extraneous people get hurt or killed.

“Justifiable/understandable” terrorism is the kind where people in supposedly marginalized communities, like Islamic radicals, finally snap, and, after great and prolonged provocation, take revenge on their white, male, Christian oppressors living in The Great Satan. Or shoot up a gay bar if it happens to be a convenient target.

“Bad” terrorism, of course, is when hard-working, patriotic American citizens complain to teachers and/or government officials that their children are being indoctrinated into favoring socialism over capitalism, a race-based society over a meritocratic one, or the belief that there are an infinite number of genders, none of which can be determined by one’s physical attributes/chromosomes/DNA.

Domestic terrorism does exist. Elected officials— with help from the unelected in the Deep State/swamp—are effectively terrorizing American citizens. By leaving open the southern border. By devastating our energy industry. By causing rampant inflation. By fostering crime. And by overtly threatening those who disagree with their policies, intentions and amorality.

The pertinent questions are: how long will law-abiding American citizens accept being treated worse than criminals and illegal aliens? How long will they put up with the hoaxes, lies, misinformation, disinformation, omitted information, and mandates? Forever?

Samuel Adams once said, “So great is the wickedness of some men and the stupid servility of others, that one would almost be inclined to conclude that communities cannot be free. The few haughty families think they must govern. The body of the people tamely consent and submit to be their slaves. This unravels the mystery of millions being enslaved by the few.”

Pro-Abortion Signs Highlight Vulgarity, Ignorance, Inanity

 

An extraordinarily high percentage of the signs wielded by pro-abortion demonstrators are mind-bogglingly dumb and/or nonsensical. One of these inane sentiments (see below) has prompted me to write this post. That sign/sentiment? ”Guns have more rights than my vagina.” 

Really? Let’s examine the facts. First of all, it must be noted, the vast majority of gun owners don’t stick a penis in their gun’s barrel and climax in it. They do have to subject themselves to a thorough background check by the feds, answer more than a dozen probing questions, fill out a 2-page form, and hand over several hundred dollars or more before they can take their firearms home with them. Oh, and they are also forced to present a current, valid, government-issued I.D.! (I don’t know how so many minority gun owners accomplish this feat!)

Moreover, firearms owners are prohibited from taking their guns into many public --and private places. By contrast, vagina owners are generally free to travel wherever they wish to go. None of the demented sign-carrying “ladies” have ever walked into, say, a library or retail outlet and seen a sign saying, “This is a vagina-free zone.” So back off, rabidly ignorant and entitled placard possessing protesters. If you don’t want a baby, don’t recklessly engage in the act that creates them.

Otherwise, you become a greater threat to life than any firearm.

And, speaking of rights, are you absolutely sure a baby in your vagina has none?

Abort your signs, not your babies.

National School Boards Association Wanted To Use Military Against Parents

 

As many of you may know, the National School Boards Association recently asked the Biden administration to consider labeling parental opponents of various school policies “domestic terrorists.”

 

That in itself is preposterous, revolting, and chilling. And now Fox News has reported that an early draft of the association’s letter expressed the desire to have the National Guard and military monitor school board meetings. According to Fox News, that draft read “We ask that the Army National Guard and its Military Police be deployed to certain school districts and related events where students and school personnel have been subjected to acts and threats of violence.” The same draft also referred to parents who voiced opposition to school policies as “plotters who are targeting schools and educators.” 

 

Odd, considering leftist educators have heretofore always disdained the American military-- and the implied threat of force in general. I guess protecting the nation from the likes of the Third Reich, the Soviet Union, and radical Islamic terrorists was/is not as critical as “protecting” school board members from having to answer heated questions from the parents who pay their salaries. I mean, when you want to indoctrinate children into believing bald-faced lies that will necessarily cause grievous harm to your country, or groom them in the ways of sexual perversity at an extremely young age, and you are getting push-back from the rubes…who else you gonna call?

 

One of the nice things about the United States has been the separation of military from civilian life. Traditionally, we have wanted civilian control of our military. And, for what used to be obvious reasons, we explicitly did not want our military to be used domestically…against its countrymen.

 

But the new educators know best. When they aren’t screwing the kids, they want to nuke their parents.

Abortion Advocate Says Men Can Get Pregnant And Have Abortions

 

Pro-life and pro-abortion advocates recently testified before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee. During the testimony, Rep. Dan Bishop (R-N.C.) asked abortion advocate Aimee Arrambide if she could define what “a woman is.”

 

Arrambide replied, “I believe that everyone can identify for themselves.”

 

Rep. Bishop then said, “Do you believe that men can become pregnant and have abortions?”

 

Yes,” Arrambide responded.

 

Really? Men can now get pregnant? By a well-hung woman, perhaps?

 

The good news is, if men can now get pregnant, they must finally be allowed to have opinions on abortion. Right?

Automotive Kill Switch Law To Exterminate Freedom?

 

President Joe Biden recently signed a law mandating (persondating?) that all new vehicles sold after 2026 must be equipped with electronic “kill switches.” These switches could conceivably be used by government officials—or hackers—to seize control of one’s car without permission or oversight.

Oddly enough, the law was essentially hidden inside of the administration’s LGBTQ-friendly $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that was passed late last year.

The “kill switch law” would potentially allow law enforcement to shut one’s car off remotely, and also to track the cars metrics, location, and possibly even passenger load. The mandate was included under the pretext of helping to cut down on drunk driving while also preventing high-speed chases from occurring.

Such “backdoor” kill switches work through cars being continuously connected to wireless networks. Many, if not most, new cars (and virtually all-electric cars) already come standard with wireless capability. Indeed, General Motors pioneered in-car (internet) connectivity more than a decade ago.

It is possible that the law could be challenged or repealed by a future federal government, as privacy issues with the mandate are glaring and obvious.

Former U.S. Rep. Bob Barr wrote an opinion piece, published in the Daily Caller last November, in which he stated that “kill switches” are a “privacy disaster in the making,” and noted that the law is “disturbingly short on details.”

He added: “What we do know is that the ‘safety’ device must ‘passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired.’ Everything about this mandatory measure should set off red flares.”

Indeed. If and when this law is enacted, why shouldn’t the federal government seek the same control over bicycles, skateboards, scooters, snowmobiles, PWCs, etc.? And what about our refrigerators? Should similar technology be mandated going forward so that they won’t allow us to get more than, say, 48 ounces of beer from them in a 24-hour period? Should they only allow us to open them a certain number of times per day for each person residing in our households…in order to prevent obesity? Etc., etc. Where does this end?

 It ends in a society indistinguishable from those in a dystopian novel such as Darkness at Noon or 1984.

And this Brave New World will contain only feckless, craven, robot-people, afraid of freedom, effectively remote-controlled by their government masters.

Newspaper Calls For Washington, D.C. To Be Renamed

 

A major American newspaper recently ran an op-ed by George Washington University senior Caleb Francois, a pre-law student, the premise of which was that the school’s 2021 renaming of a campus student center “falls short” of properly addressing the “systemic racism and inequality” he claims are still rampant on the school’s campus.

Francois then chronicles the 200-year history of racism at GWU. He bemoans the fact that, upon the university’s founding in 1821, only white men were permitted to enroll. (It would have been shocking if Blacks and women were allowed to enroll at that time.) He is similarly gob-smacked that Blacks currently comprise only about 10 percent of the school’s enrollment, though comprising 13 percent of the population nationally.

 Francois averred that racial maladies could be remedied by a “decolonized university curriculum […] the renaming of the university and the selection of an African American President.”

              Here is a portion of his op-ed:

“The controversial Winston Churchill Library must go. The university’s contentious colonial moniker must go. Even the university’s name, mascot and motto — ‘Hail Thee George Washington’— must be replaced. The hypocrisy of GW in not addressing these issues is an example of how Black voices and Black grievances go ignored and highlights the importance of strong Black leadership. Frederick Douglass, a statesmen, political scientist, diplomat, feminist and abolitionist, is a perfect example of a possible namesake to replace George Washington. His work for social reform and equal justice make him an ideal candidate for a new name. Douglass, Sojourner Truth and Malcom X, among many others, transformed the United States by fighting for the liberation of Black people here and all over the world. Heroes such as these should be celebrated and represented here at GW.”

Francois—and by extension the newspaper that published his op-ed—are behind the times, borderline reactionary. I called for the renaming of Washington, D.C. in a piece I wrote last summer. I also called for Madison, Wisconsin, Jefferson City, Missouri, and Columbus, Ohio to be renamed. Among other cities.

Francois noted the “hypocrisy of GW in not addressing these issues.” I mean, how could anything still be named after George Washington in 2022, right?

By-the-way, the newspaper that printed the indignant pre-law student’s op-ed? The Washington Post.

We can all assume the paper will soon change its name, then, right? But to what?

Malcolm X was wildly controversial, and deservedly so. And, his real name was Malcolm Little. Neither “The X Post” nor “The Little Post” sounds very impressive. Frederick Douglass was a great man, but he is out of the running by default, as his full name was Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey. How ironic is that? Sojourner Truth was no doubt a woman of character, but, as anyone who has read the soon to be erstwhile Washington Post in recent decades will have to admit, renaming it The Truth Post would be the epitome of fake news.   

It seems likely the paper will wait until the city changes its name before it attempts to rebrand itself.

The Pelosi Post? Dear God, let’s hope not.

Biden Administration Mandate Could Allow Infants To Be Gender Transitioned

 

A federal district court recently temporarily blocked enforcement of two Biden administration mandates that would force both nonprofit and for-profit religious employers and health care providers to pay for transgender medical procedures and counseling-- even if the measures violate the employers' or providers' religious beliefs.

District Judge Daniel M. Traynor of the U.S. District Court of North Dakota ruled that the Christian Employers Alliance "has shown a likelihood of success on the merits" in its case. He wrote in his decision: "No government agency ought to be in the business of evaluating the sincerity of another’s religious beliefs.”

 The judge noted: "HHS Guidance encourages a parent to file a complaint if a medical provider refuses to gender transition their child, of any age, including an infant. The thought that a newborn child could be surgically altered to change gender is the result of the Biden HHS Notification and HHS Guidance that brands a medical professional’s refusal to do so as discrimination. Indeed, the HHS Guidance specifically invites the public to file complaints for acting in a manner the Alliance says is consistent with their sincerely held religious beliefs."

He added: "Beyond the religious implications, the Biden HHS Notification and resulting HHS Guidance frustrate the proper care of gender dysphoria, where even among adults who experience the condition, a diagnosis occurs following the considered involvement of medical professionals. By branding the consideration as ‘discrimination,’ the HHS prohibits the medical profession from evaluating what is best for the patient in what is certainly a complex mental health question."

The Christian Employers Alliance is represented by the Christian law firm Alliance Defending Freedom, which claims that the Biden administration violated its free exercise rights under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), the free exercise clause of the First Amendment, and its free speech rights.

ADF Legal Counsel Jacob Reed stated: "The employers we represent believe that God purposefully created humans as either male or female, and so it would violate their religious beliefs to pay for or perform life-altering medical procedures or surgeries that seek to change one’s biological sex. The court was on firm ground to halt enforcement of these unlawful mandates that disrespect people of faith." 

That seems a rather easy argument to make. See also Genesis 1:27— “Male and female He created them.” If you don’t believe in God, it is still irrefutable that we wouldn’t be here as advanced mammals if it weren’t for sexual dimorphism…the existence of two sexes and the clear distinction between males and females. Turns out, we weren’t delivered by a stork.

The assertion that "HHS Guidance encourages a parent to file a complaint if a medical provider refuses to gender transition their child, of any age, including an infant,” is beyond disturbing. So far beyond disturbing. If true, it is virtually indescribable. Progressives who push gender transitioning always justify this by saying something like, “We have to abide by the child’s wishes…for their own health and safety.” Well, no baby’s first words are “I wanna be the opposite sex! Please help me transition now!” This is monstrous.

It is impossible to truly “change one’s gender.” Of that, the science is settled/certain, even if that assertion goes against what is the closest thing a leftist has to a religious belief.

Attempting to “transition” a young child, surgically or otherwise, is one step removed from aborting that child. And, like the vast majority of abortions, it is done at the whim of an adult, for their convenience—or pleasure.

Those who would condone or perform such an act should be transitioned…straight to a maximum-security prison.

Senate Democrats Vote For Unfettered Abortion

 

Senate Democrats recently voted in favor of a bill that would legalize abortion—nationwide-- for all nine months of pregnancy. That’s right, up to the very moment of birth, if necessary. The “Women’s Health Protection Act” received support from 49 of the 50 non-Republicans in the Senate, though it ultimately failed to succeed. The bill would have given health care providers the "right" to provide abortion services with very few requirements or limitations.

In fact, according to the WHPA's text, health care providers would have been given the green light to perform abortions without "a prohibition on abortion at any point or points in time prior to fetal viability" or "a requirement that a patient seeking abortion services at any point or points in time prior to fetal viability disclose the patient’s reason or reasons for seeking abortion services." No valid reason? No problem! No inhibitions, no prohibitions.

The measure would have removed protections for religious liberties, thereby going against the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which would have been unprecedented, as pro-choice Maine Republican Susan Collin’s office noted in a statement saying, "Congress has never before adopted legislation that contains an exemption to this religious liberty law."

What Collin’s office fails to realize is that Democrats don’t care about the religious liberty of others. They despise both religion and liberty, as practiced and enjoyed by those with traditional values. Moreover, their religion-- the one true religion mind you—holds baby-killing to be a sacrament. Abortion trumps baptism. And renders it unnecessary.

So why limit abortion to the roughly nine months of pregnancy? Or even to the few short hours after birth? Why not permit “after-birth abortions” for a week, month, or year after a fetus has exited a birthing person’s womb? Or a decade…or more? What a great defense this could provide for a person on trial for murder! “May it please the jury, I would just solemnly state that I did not murder those three people, I was just exercising my right to after-birth abortions.”

Given Democrats concurrent desire to lower the voting age, I fully expect them to soon realize that they could combine the two issues in an effort to further solidify their power. They could raise the age of legal (after-birth) abortions to coincide with a new legal age to vote. A “twofer,” as it were!

It would be a progressive Democrat’s dream if they could abort children until they were, say, 9-years-old, at which time they would be legally allowed to vote for them.

Only a racist, sexist, knuckle-dragging, ultra-MAGA bigot could be opposed to that, they would shout.

Democrats’ policies are killing the economy, strangling free speech, obliterating life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for countless millions, and extinguishing hope. They are pregnant with malice and evil.

And those policies must be aborted.

Earth's Oceans Losing Their "Memories," Study Finds

 

Earth's oceans are feeling the wrath of human-induced climate change. Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising and reefs are dying – and now, according to a new study published in Science Advances, the sea is losing its memory altogether.” Or so states a recent article on msn.com.

The post also noted that, “Unlike weather, which can change wildly and rapidly, Earth's oceans usually only have slight changes throughout the week. This persistence is called ‘memory’ and is related to the thickness of the ocean's top mixed layer. Similar to how a thicker mattress provides better cushioning, a thicker sea surface layer allows for a better memory because of the thermal inertia at play.” The article also avers that, “As global warming increases and the ocean temperature rises, that top layer thins out. And like a thinning mattress, the support, or in this case the year-to-year ‘memory,’ weakens.”

A few points to be made here: 1) The article as much as admits that climate change is natural and can occur rapidly! (“Unlike weather, which can change wildly and rapidly…”) 2) The ocean’s “memory” is not really a memory…in that it doesn’t have a brain, mind, or any cognitive ability whatsoever. Ergo, it doesn’t remember anything. 3) I have always been told that, the warmer the temperatures, the thicker the top layer of a body of water becomes, not thinner. The thicker the warmer (mixed) top layer becomes, the further down it pushes the thermocline, the narrow band of water with rapidly changing temperatures. Below that is the cold-water layer. (The ocean is heated from above by the sun and warm air.)

In any case, this so-called “memory,” scientists say, helps them predict ocean conditions, and therefore its decline will make it harder for them to keep up with changes. The study’s co-author, Fei-Fei Jin, a professor at the University of Hawaii-Mānoa, said that the results of the study "suggest intrinsic changes in the system and new challenges in prediction under warming." 

The study’s lead author, Hui Shi, opined that "It's almost as if the ocean is developing amnesia.” (Hui Shi and Fei-Fei? The former was an ancient Chinese philosopher famous for his “ten paradoxes.” The latter sounds like someone Eric Swalwell would date. Must not be the same people.)

 The article notes researchers “project” that the ocean's memory will likely continue to decrease throughout most of the world, until, by the end of the 21st century, “some regions will have ocean memory reductions of up to 100%.” 100% you say? If I remember correctly, that’s a lot.

And, of course, the researchers found that man-caused global warming/climate change is primarily responsible for the degradation of the ocean’s memory.

It’s always something. And now the bleeping ocean has lost its memory. Experts expect that by the year 2100 it won’t be able to remember a damn thing.

“Where the hell did I put the Marianas Trench?” it will ask itself. And, “What are these funny looking things with eight appendages that squirt ink? Which way does the Gulf Stream flow? Am I rising or falling? Oh, crap, I am soo hosed!”

What’s next? On second thought, I don’t want to know. Are we to see our mountains ravaged with Alzheimer’s, and our volcanoes contend with autism? Will our prairies be beset by bipolar disorder, our forests burdened with schizophrenia?   

What’s worse than an ocean losing its memory?

Scientists losing their minds.

Biden White House Tweets Disinformation

 

Where is the Government Disinformation Board when you need it? The official White House Twitter account recently claimed that there was no COVID-19 vaccine available when President Joe Biden took office in January 2021.

"When President Biden took office, millions were unemployed and there was no vaccine available," the White House falsely stated on Twitter.

Biden took office on January 20th, 2021. He himself was vaccinated against COVID-19 on December 21st, 2020, though no one expects him to remember that.

This White House might contain more serial prevaricators than did the Clinton White House. And that is shocking. And scary. For the nation. And the world.

Look for more official White House tweets in the coming days, with messages informing people that-- before Biden took office-- there was no polio vaccine, smart phones, color televisions, or running water.

But Biden and crew don’t just flat-out lie on Twitter, they also tweet out non-sequiturs. As Biden did recently when he suggested that, if corporations were made to pay their “fair share” of taxes, inflation could be brought under control. Raising taxes on businesses does not reduce inflation. Asserting that it does is like saying, “We need to excuse student loan debt to protect our groundwater reservoirs!” Or, “We must ban fracking to boost cryptocurrency prices.” Nonsensical.

“Progressive” (i.e. leftist authoritarian) governments, like Biden’s and Trudeau’s, are the source of most “disinformation.” And the most preposterous examples of same. To the extent that, if and when a Government Disinformation Board is up and running, we will know that whatever it deems to be disinformation is actually factual, and whatever it proclaims to be false is the unvarnished truth.

Biden Official Warns Another COVID Wave Is Coming This Fall

 

It’s an oldie but a goodie: the Biden Regime is telling us to brace ourselves for a new wave of Covid coming this fall… just in time for the midterm elections. When something proves successful, you’d be a fool not to try it again, right? COVID fears led to mail-in balloting…which in turn allowed Biden to be “elected” president of the United States. Therefore, Democrats and their sycophants believe that reintroducing those fears can keep Congressional Democrats in power-- against all odds. Perhaps lightning can strike twice. (Mules on your marks…get set…go!)

Without offering up any information to support the claim, a senior Biden Administration official recently projected that up to 100 million Americans – nearly 1/3 of the population – could get infected with COVID-19 COVID-20 COVID-21 COVID-22 this fall and early winter if Congress doesn’t provide more funding for vaccines and other treatments. And if they are allowed to vote in person, of course.

Given the staggeringly high rate of new cases among the fully vaccinated, that might not be too far-fetched. Several so-called “experts” agreed that another major Covid wave could be around the corner due to the waning efficacy of the various COVID vaccines.

A report in The Washington Post noted the warning by “a senior administration official” during a background briefing. The report stated: “In forecasting 100 million potential infections during a cold-weather wave later this year and early next, the official did not present new data or make a formal projection. Instead, he described the fall and winter wave as a scenario based on a range of outside models of the pandemic. Those projections assume that omicron and its subvariants will continue to dominate community spread, and there will not be a dramatically different strain of the virus, the official said, acknowledging the pandemic’s course could be altered by many factors.”

100 million, huh? Oddly enough, that’s just about the number of mail-in votes Democrats will likely receive in the mid-term elections. Weird how that works.

But, hey, gotta do anything it takes to stop a red wave, right? Even if it takes talk of a COVID wave to do it.
