It's time for the annual Pride roundup. Is the proud month of celebration of atypical sexualities advancing, shrinking, or holding ground? The answer will surprise and encourage you.
Has anyone else noticed that the slow death of DEI and Pride happened after the dissolution of USAID? The money for the circus came from somewhere, and now that money has dried up.
I was just reminded that when Malia Obama was living in the White House, she got $2.4 million from USAID for writing some letters to children in Africa.
I was at my local Target yesterday and there were NO ads, clothes, signs mentioning pride or rainbows. It was terrific to see. What I did see were clothes and sweaters for the whole family with USA and our flag on them.
Actually, the second act for these types is always to re-brand the last act. So, They re-grouped and used their Act-Blue, NSAID, NGO money, and redistributed it to create ICE Protests. Which also meant minimal funds for their usual in your face, sexual shenanigan celebrations!
Someone needs to inform Tucker Carleson. He has tremendous reach and is inspiring anti-trump sentiment in the independent crowd (i used to be one) so i am worried
I have found Tucker to be an empty shirt, hanging on a clothesline, captive to which ever way the wind blows. Very disappointing! I think VDH had it right, Tucker was fine as long as he had managers and guidelines that could keep him focused.
I was willing to overlook the UFO fixations, to each there own, but to do an about face on MAGA and to become so antisemitic was bizarre and furthering the propaganda of Hamas and Hezbollah after the horrific attacks on Oct. 7, was a Galaxy too far!
Woah! TC follows his own reasoning, not a crowd pleaser. Curious to know what he says with which you disagree... how "did he lose cred with you?" and is MAGA perfect?" Sincerely curious.
Yay! Good to know. We moved out of the city over 5 years ago, so haven’t been to a Target in many years. It used to be a favorite store, and then they changed the whole look and feel of it, even before the “pride” thing.
I promised myself I would never cross the threshold of a Target Store again and I’m sticking to that promise. They have nothing I can’t find elsewhere. I stay clear of Bud Lite, too😏
Exactly! Fool me once! They were my go to store when the kids were young. I used to joke that we should own stock because between housewares, clothing and school supplies, birthday and Christmas gifts, we had dropped a small fortune at Target!
We didn't leave Target, Target left us! Thankfully, we have outgrown our spending heavy spending years!
I feel the same way Jay. I did not buy anything while I was there. Was just snooping around to see if they were being woke or not. I was pleasantly surprised though.
I did not buy anything. Just went in to see what my local store was doing for pride month. I was almost tempted to buy a summer sweater with the flag on it and USA but did not. Stand your ground MaryAnn.
I will never go back to Target. They are on our my " xxxx list". Got two of those. One is with my financial advisor; Target listed with Disney as NOT investable for me.
Sadly, during the WOKE JOKE years, most anyone with mutual funds, CD's and other retirement/pension accounts were investing in all of the above and more! The BIG Investment firms, Blackrock State street and Van Guard were quietly using our money to further the DEI takeover of our Government institutions and the Businesses that we were boycotting!
Besides Target and Disney, State Street, Black Rock and others of their ilk are on my xxxx list with my financial advisor NOT to allow investment in them.
I stopped shopping at Target the minute they installed the new bathroom policy. It is dangerous to women and girls, as well as an invasion of bodily privacy.
Years ago Target announced in our area they would not allow Salvation Army bell ringers in front of their stores. I have not and will not frequent them ever!
Wouldn't you know,,, the one Charity that has the lowest overhead and true altruism, is the one they cancel! My guess is that the Salvation Army would not allow itself to be Grifted by the Mob!
That's when we quit shopping there to begin with. Have never set foot in one since and don't plan to ever again. The whole rainbow thing sealed the deal
Reply to Janet, Target is a cheap type of store, like K-mart or Walmart in the states. I’ve never been to one either. In Canada, they opened stores but tanked quite quickly. Odd, really, but in hindsight a good thing.
I asked ChatGPT what national holiday was in June and it said that there was an Independence Day June 14th. I replied I thought America’s Independence is July 4th. It said well yes but and then went on to explain Juneteenth.
The Chat is only telling you what evil people program it to tell you. These AI platforms search databases very quickly to find answers to you basic question. The best way to use them is to be specific about your question and yo always pushback on the answer when you know it to be false. The bot will eventually concede that you are correct and look for less biased information or facts.
What Independence Day is in June? There is not one! Trump's birthday and Flag Day happen to be on June 14th. Juneteenth is June 19th. That's not an Independence Day of any sort, other than what the PTB made it.
If only they would reveal that it was democrats still enslaving black people who didn’t know they were emancipated until June 14. Maybe black people would stop voting Democrat if they knew the true history.
Odd that ChatGPT would make a mistake like that. Juneteenth is June 19th. And it's not the day slavery ended all over the United States, it's the day in 1865 when the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863, was enforced in Texas. In Delaware and Kentucky, slaves were not freed until December of that year, when the national abolition amendment was ratified. Juneteenth didn't used to be celebrated outside the South.
Maybe I shouldn't have said "the South." I was born in Texas in 1948 and it was a thing all my life, acknowledged by Whites as a holiday celebrated by Blacks. I moved away before The Age of Woke.
But what do we do about the Treasury Secretary who claims to be married to another man and is raising adopted children? This seems like an endorsement of PRIDE by our current administration. I'm serious. How do we navigate the waters of hypocrisy that our "blind eye" approach to the matter has left all of us who support this president. He didn't have to select Bessent or Grinnell knowing the biblical stance on homosexuality and he surely would have been advised against it by Christian men close to him yet he did it anyway and then recently boasted about how he garnered a large portion of the gay vote in 2024.
Neither of those two men shove it down our throats or expect us to use pronouns, share their views or in any way participate in their beliefs. They both excell in their jobs. They are the gays that I do not worry about. They hurt no one else with their life choices.
One might argue that they "shove it down our throats," by taking the step of "marrying" another man when marriage is between xx and xy chromosome people and since the term marriage implies sexual relations, then exalting anyone who flaunts their sin, (the Bible clearly calls homosexuality that in multiple texts), by giving them national prominence, perhaps even signing our currency, is sending the wrong message to our kids that as long as you're good at something, it doesn't matter the lifestyle you choose. Would Trump have endorsed Hegseth if Pete had proclaimed he was an adulterer, would continue to philander and furthermore, sees nothing wrong with it? Of course not, but that's what's been done with Bessent when you think about it.
And because you didn't know, you're pretty sure others don't and that it will never be discovered by the masses which may cause an even greater spiritual crisis among our youth when they see his name on currency and having achieved such heights in wealth and fame during his time as Trump's Treasury Secretary, so why not go in that direction themselves if the conservative's choice for president thinks it is ok by virtue of his naming him to such a prominent post?
I think the Lord has enough grace, mercy and patience to go around to all. Remember, the rain falls on the just and the unjust. I can't judge the level of one sin over another, but I know Jesus covered all sins for those that believe in him. If any is without sin, let him cast the first stone. We don't know the relationship between others and the Lord so let us not be the judge. Dr. Bessent is extremely talented and seems to love helping to make America great again. Would you rather have someone straight and corrupt? Didn't Jesus say that the greatest one of the commandments was to love one another. We can pray also for those who we feel need prayer and also lift them up. I do love the saying that if you point a finger at someone, you still have 3 pointing back at yourself.
Do you remember what Jesus said to the woman after He said to the crowd, "He that is without sin cast the first stone?" He told the adulterous woman to "Go and sin no more." He forgave her but called her to leave her sin behind. Someone who claims to be married to another man is obviously not leaving his sin behind. We're all called to struggle against sin not give in to it and eventually have our hearts hardened to it to the extent we no longer even see it as sin.
We've all sinned but we're called to struggle against sinning in the future not to throw up our hands and say, "Oh well, it's too hard to resist so I'll just give up trying." And you must be referring to Obed who spilled his semen on the ground rather than impregnate his wife. Other than that story which I have no reason to doubt is true, it is the sin of lust that is at the root of all sexual experiences outside the bonds of marriage between man and a woman therefore when we lust, we must confess it before God, ask forgiveness and then repent which means we resolve to turn away from our sin but if we fail again, we are not to stay there and wallow in our sin no matter what it might be-theft, murder, gossip, drunkeness, etcs.
Onan’s sin was that it was his familial duty to create a family with his deceased brother’s wife, after the brother had died, not simply that Onan spilled his seed on the ground.
You couldn't be more mistaken, if you're talking to me. It is because I am an ultra-conservative but more than that, I believe the word of God which tells us we've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, that I take the stand that I do on unrepented sin which is what the proud homosexual is doing when he boldly "marries" the same sex. So, if our president then exalts someone who proclaims that whatever their sin is, they have no shame in it and will continue to practice it, I have to wonder what his agenda really is. I hope you get my point which is about exalting sin and both Bessent in his public proclamation of "marriage" to another man and Trump's elevation of him to national prominence, all speak of pride and as the proverb states, "Pride goeth before the fall. " I therefore can't expect God to bless America if America won't bless God by honoring His laws.
From the beginning of the “gay marriage” debate I thought we should just call it something else, like civil unions. The homosexuals who wanted to “marry” really just wanted some of the same household rights married people enjoy, like hospital visitation and inheritance without the hassles. I’m not very comfortable with the right to adopt children, but am fine with the rest of it, and calling it a “civil union” would have given them rights without forcing Christians to compromise on the sacred institution of marriage that was actually invented by God. But at the time, the gay community insisted on full endorsement.
As a side note, I would have been in favor of ALL marriages being redefined as civil unions for the purposes of government rights and responsibilities, and we Christians could have kept the term marriage for all the religious implications. In other words, give it back to God and the church. Why let the government issue “marriage licenses” anyway? It doesn’t belong to the government.
I don't think that civil unions give the same rights. Marriage, according to the state, is a contract that affords certain rights, as well as responsibilities. It's part of property law, as everyone knows who ever watched a bitter divorce, complete with who gets the house and who gets the kids.
My co-worker lived with his partner for over 40 years. When his partner got sick, he asked for EIB time to take care of him, but the employer, a hospital, refused to give it to him. They also didn't give him medical benefits. But guess who the hospital came after when it was time to pay the hospital bill? They knew darn well who was the employed one in the family.
I thought that was wrong, so I supported gay marriage. Like you say, it has nothing to do with religion. People can get married in any church they want, but the contract law doesn't kick in until the government is involved, like it or not. I am also fine with calling all of it civil unions.
The government can define civil unions any way it wants to, it doesn’t matter what it used to mean. Find another term if you want to, but my point is, “marriage” should be a concept within the Christian faith without the government meddling and setting rules about it. Let the government decide what the society at large wants to allow and what rights and responsibilities go along with that, then give it a name, any name, just not “marriage”.
Does this speak to President Trump chosing the bedt person for the job? He doesn't discriminate, nor does he "check the box" to hire specific characteristics, rather than qualifications.
While I agree philosophically with your position, i have to also agree with other posters that our national laws do not discriminate for folks' personal shortfalls in offices, and allow for arrangements of single sex "marriages" (whether we likecit or not; would have preferred civil unions if any allowance). We have a national history of flawed men in office, generally they kept their flaws to themselves and executed their offices well. Bessent and others in Trump's administration seem like that. And are a positive contrast with Biden's cross dressing appointees! They were in our faces, and perfored awfully in their offices!
If Trump didn't know Bessent was a proud homosexual then I would agree but that is highly unlikely. Try to substitute another sin in place of the practice of homsexuality. Suppose Bessent admitted that he was a cleptomaniac and didn''t intend to give up his practice of stealing, would Trump have nominated him? Of course, if Bessent didn't admit to his larcenous bent, Trump would not be held responsible.
Gay people exist and have for millenia, probably always. I do not want the lifestyle mainstreamed, (which arguably was and is the goal of religious texts) but I do not want those people demonized either. I personally find it off-putting but that's how I know I am heterosexual.
Saying the current admin endorses Pride by the appointment of our Treasury Secretary is like saying heterosexual orgies are being endorsed by the appointment of any straight officials.
Let that one go! They’re both effective and helpful to the cause. Their issue is with God, not me. Insistence on absolute purity would leave us with no warriors.
Personally, I object to putting a Soros henchmen in charge of the Treasury Dept.
There are very few people as corrupt and evil as Soros, and Bessent was part of the operation to short the British pound back in 1992. That didn't go well for the Brits.
The seven sins cover Soros more than homosexuality. Pride. Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, and Sloth.
The first five warn against the very sins personified by Soros and other financial manipulators.
I also was concerned about this connection. But, I have seen no actions on the part of Bessent to do damage. So far, he seems to be excellent at his job, and that is all we may require of him as a public servant, and is very witty besides. Meritocracy. What he does in his off time is his own business.
Agree with you 100% on Soros. I really don't understand why he has not been prosecuted for treason (and all manner of bad deeds) and had citizenship stripped. Now, his mealy mouthed little lily of a son has taken over and he even married 50 yr old Huma Abiden -gross on it's own -( bet he had to marry to 'prove' he's straight.).
Just for fun "Soros Definition -an urn or receptacle for keeping the bones of the dead"
Perhaps like so many in this administration, Bessent has awakened to the errors of his early thinking? After all he was only 28/29 at the time of the British pound issue. Others include Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr, Tammy Bruce etc.
He's brilliant, and very good at his job.
IMO the first requirement for an administration job, CAN they do the job? Next, WILL they do the job and will they execute the Presidents agenda. Once they fill those three, all else is somewhat unimportant UNLESS it interferes with the job.
I don't know. He worked there for 24 years, and was a top henchman.
We'll have to see how good he is at this job. The thing I worry about is, what is his job? Is it to help the American people? Or to push us into a cashless society? Or to move more of America's wealth from regular people to the financial people?
I did not know this about Mr Bessant. I'm very sad to find out... especially seeing as how states are coming out and proclaiming the month of June for Nuclear families! (of course, not here in my home state of California)
When I went up to our town's senior center this afternoon to vote, the menu for the senior lunches had rainbows and pride month... and the other perverse bs could be seen at the Kenneth Aiken Senior Center.
I'd really like to know what any of that has to do with senior activities or programs. But then... this is California; and I am in Alameda County; so I shouldn't be surprised.
And I guess I'm not really "surprised." I'm just thoroughly disgusted!
Pres. Trump is nominally Christian. He is also a merit based leader and is more on the don’t ask don’t tell side. He sees the person. I think he will not inject himself into that issue, letting it play out in the courts as a states rights issue, rather than initiating anything.
Tjat he does NOT declare anyone as DEI hire is his declaration. It is refreshing.
Trump isn't a Christian, but appreciates Christians. He has never been against gay/lesbian lifestyle that I know of. He also isn't very pro-life, though he supports those who are & did well to nominate Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe + spoke at Walk for Life.
It boggles the mind when you think about how much public money is being siphoned off, misdirected, misappropriated, laundered, and outright stolen. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that if it weren’t for the fraud, waste, and corruption, we wouldn’t be $30T in debt. We need to bring back DOGE full force at the national level, and at the state, and municipal levels. In conjunction with that, we need to create mechanisms to stop spending money (much of which we don’t have) for anything but very limited government.
Adding to the waste and corruption that's created the national debt would be all the wars and conflicts we've financed and been drawn into. Somewhere out there are a lot of people who owe that money back to the tax payers.
I want all Government Grants to stop! Until each case can be properly vetted and evaluated, assigned to an auditing arm, much like we assign children and elderly to Social Workers for monitoring.
Not that I think Social Workers are the answer, but a computer tracking system that follows the money and verifies the intended usage, and records progress/failure of the Grantee, would be a step toward eliminating fraudsters. The PTA's Safe Routes to School program asking for a Grant for a bicycle path, separated from a commuter route with multiple ingress and egress points, is a good use of Grant money and not where the GRIFT is happening.
You know, the first Apple computer was created in a garage that sat on a former Cherry orchard. The neighborhood across the train tracks (now an Expressway) had rolling hills with of Apricot orchards, a cattle ranch and 20 acres of fields that grew flowers for resale.

It's either being more accurate or it's continuing to manipulate society. Does it cover Buddhist & Hindu holidays too? If not it's just more manipulation, Google is good at that.
Didn't you know that Google is the Borg! There employees are very well cared for and will do just about anything to anyone to keep their cushy conditions. We saw their tactics during the Plandemic. Meta/Face Book, etc., have a similar gig, and most where indoctrinated in Americas Leftist Uni's on taxpayer funded loans or financial aid, so they have only ever worked for the hivemind!
On my Android phone I went to settings on my calendar and I saw holiday and I went there and set it to Religious and Christian holidays. So far no Muslim stuff 👍
I noticed that many calendars no longer list the Jewish High Holy Days. Very telling as to how deeply entrenched the Muslim Money Machine and Lobby has infiltrated American Society.

But the man from whom the demons had gone out was begging Him that he might accompany Him. But He sent him away, saying, “Return to your house and recount what great things God has done for you.” So he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
That’s our charge. That’s our instructions for what we are supposed to do with our life. While some of us are called to drop everything, leave our homes, and follow God to who knows where, most of us are to follow God right back into our own homes and share His Good News from there.
"...Gay marriage rights were supposed to once and for all satisfy gay people’s civil rights concerns."
Here's the problem. "Civil rights" are by definition "rights" that are given by the State which can be changed or revoked by the State. This effectively makes all men slaves of the Government. Our founders recognized this and declared America will be a land of TRUE liberty. As enunciated in the Declaration of Independence, America was founded upon the principle of "unalienable rights given by God". In other words, there is a higher law that civil government is to be held accountable to that define the unalienable rights of all men. Biblical law is thus a restriction on the power of the State.
The USG has long ago abandoned any concept of unalienable rights as defined by God's Word. From the SCOTUS on down, "rights" are only those rights granted by the government which can be changed or cancelled depending on the policies being pursued by the government. We saw the results of this over the last six years when churches were closed, the economy shut down and a bio-weapon sold as a "vaccine" was forced upon all of America.
There is no true repentance until the nation, once again, affirms that our rights as men are "unalienable rights granted by God". "Gay marriage rights" are NOT a right under Biblical law.
Bravo Politico Phil. You are correct to point out that rights given to people by the government are not the full rights mentioned in the Declaration of Independence. We must be ever vigilant to ensure that our God given rights are not violated by the government in its pursuit of control over the public.
Many church goers out in the counties (away from the useful idiot spies/Karens', created by the LEFTISTS), continued to gather in barns, backyards and pastures, just like their ancestors who tamed the West. They knew that their Church family, was their community and their lifeline to sanity in a dangerous and wild land, where predators, both bi-ped and quadroped, lay in wait on the road to the lawless, hedonistic cities!
Word to the wise! Today we are faced with two-legged predators that roam our cities and towns which we now have to constantly be on alert for. This was NOT the American experience of the 50s and 60s. This trend will only result in the breakdown of society and civil war.
“Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, “Now behold, I Myself do establish My covenant with you, and with your descendants after you; and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, even every beast of the earth. I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
God said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations; I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud, and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.””
"Woe, woe, how terrible is this place. And those men said to me: This place O Enoch, is prepared for those who dishonor our God, who on earth practice sin against nature, which is child- corruption after the sodomitic fashion, magic making, enchantments and devilish witchcraft, and who boast if their wicked deeds, stealing, lies, calumnies, envy, rancor, fornication, murder, and who, accursed, steal the souls of men, who, seeing the poor take away their goods and themselves was rich, injuring them for other men's goods, who being able to satisfy the empty, made the hungering to die being able to clothe, stripped the naked and who knew not their creator, and bowed to the soulless (and lifeless) gods, who cannot see, nor hear, vain gods, (who also built) hewn images and bow down to unclean handiwork, for all these is prepared this place among these, for eternal inheritance.
And the Liberal party of Canada who also removed God from their platform and are trying to remove it from our Nation by use of laws to punish us for speaking of our faith in God.
"In short, we must not be distracted by myriad marginal issues and false dichotomies like left vs. right, liberals vs. conservatives and so forth. The ultimate culprits, the super-predator threatening humanity are the high-level bankers: a handful of families and individuals who control and manage the present monetary system. We’ve no choice but to oppose and defeat them."
"Two parties" is a deception giving the people a false belief that they "have a choice." There is no choice. There is only the uniparty. Rep/Dem or Biden/Trump - simply different flavors of the same control mechanism.

Cinderella is a castaway. Her ship broke and she washed up on a barren, rocky island in the middle of the sea.
There's nothing helpful on the island, not trees or animals or even grass. Cinderella starts to cry. "Oh, what will I do?"
Then POOF! Her Fairy Godmother appears.
"Oh thank my lucky stars!" Exclaims Cinderella. "Fairy Godmother, I need your help again! Please get me off this desert island and back safely to land!"
"Oh, deary me!" Says the Fairy Godmother. "Unfortunately, my magic can only turn things into other things. I could make one of these rocks into a ship to sail you home, and some other rocks into sailors, but it would be a journey of many weeks, and they'd all turn back into rocks at the stroke of midnight and you'd drown!

He wonders aloud to Death about what happens next. Death replies "YOU WERE A GOOD FELLOW ON EARTH , YOU WILL GO TO HEAVEN , WHERE YOU WILL ENJOY ETERNAL YOUTH , YOU CAN DO BASICALLY ANYTHING YOU WANT , ANYTHING YOUR HEART DESIRES ".
The man thinks that's pretty wonderful, and settles in for the journey.
Death announces that he has to go and speak to St Peter and do the paperwork, so the man is left alone for a while in Death's office.
He thinks to himself about what he wants to do when he gets there, he could eat all of the delicious foods he never got to try on earth, he could drive the best sports cars he could imagine, he could even be a care-free child again.
He lingers on that final thought for a moment, it's so appealing to him to be able to run around, play, be silly, and do everything for the first time again with nobody judging him. He gets excited, and stands up.
Death returns into the office, just in time to see the man bouncing on the sofa. He asks "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" to which the man replies "I'm having the time of my life, or should I say time of my death?" Just as he finishes speaking, the sofa tears open, and the man falls all the way through.
Death is furious and yells "DO YOU KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE THAT WAS!? I HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO EARTH NOW TO GET A NEW ONE". The man sheepishly apologises.
Death asks the man to stand up, and they begin their journey to the afterlife. As they arrive, Death says to the man "GO INSIDE, THEY WILL TELL YOU WHAT TO DO FROM HERE". He obliges.
As he walks in, Satan says to the man "Welcome to Hell"
"Hell!?" the man splutters. "But I was told I was going to heaven, there must have been some kind of mistake!“
"Unfortunately that is not the case. You see, in life, you were a good man, however in death, you have behaved recklessly and with no consideration for the reaper cushions."
I agree, and I tell them if they ask during the process. Regardless, great social marketers pay attention to the metrics. If a particular campaign results in more unsubscribes than usual, the smart ones pick up on the telemetry and make changes.
They definitely pay attention to what causes unsubscribing, and the timing of it. I am sure you weren't alone yesterday, and I bet they noticed. Whether they change anything is a different story.
Two years ago I deleted my account from a big company that supplies Alaska fresh fish. It’s very hard to get good fish in Florida unless you go catch it yourself. Which I cannot do.
I sent an email listing exactly the reasons I deleted my account. They waited until the last day of June to proclaim their support for pride garbage. So I let them know they should’ve kept their mouth shut one day longer. I got a reply about how they want to support all their customers. I said that’s too bad you chose that cause. I’m out!
I have since ordered again almost 2 years later. Waiting to see if they changed their decision to run their mouth. If they haven’t learned I’ll delete for good - and let them know exactly why.
Check out Aaron Young on Key West Waterman channel on YouTube, and you can get fresh fish over night from his supplier. He is always talking about the place he takes his catch to on his videos.
The fish bought in Publix and the others are at least a week old, or longer.
There's a lot of places in Florida and the fish are a day or two old.
The likely reason that most companies took a FORCED "Pride" stand, was to virtue signal to the Banking Establishments', (Mafioso's, stopping by a business, suggesting, wink, wink, that they might want to pay fire insurance or suffer the consequences tomorrow night), threats of not floating emergency payroll loans anymore unless certain DEI ...inset alphabet combo here... policies and procedures, donations, are not implemented Ponto!
That has been show to be one of the shakedown methods used to steamroll the WOKE Joke through America! Lawsuits are what saved us and put the fear of money loss and spotlight on the Big Investment Firms working like a monopolistic Mafia against Americans, often using our own investment income to further their Borg-like, lockstep hustle!
That seat belt analogy was a powerful statement. It is funny how we were told any option is ok but reality says it is not! Fabulous illustration of the absurdity by the airlines!!
Years ago my mother gave me a membership to the Focus on the Family newsletter. All my friends were saying how stupid it was and anti-woman. Looks like as usual, mom was right. I’m so glad I had children and now grandchildren. My friends who chose not to have children really missed out on the best things in life. The FAMILY is the foundation of all civilization.
I bought and read so, so many of Dr James Dobson’s books as a young Mom. Listening to his talks was always a blessing as well. He passed fairly recently & went home to his Savior. So thankful for godly men (& women), I afraid to stand for the Lord and truth! 🙏🙏🙏
I used to laugh and say my mom got me a perpetual subscription to Dr. Dobson! I even went to one of his rally’s in Denver. He helped shape my opinions! Thank you to that great man.
The seatbelt visual is reality! They can rebrand, rename, and reimagine, nip this and tuck that, all they want but the truth is natural! Only one of those seatbelts is a seatbelt, the others are just artsy-fartsy useless displays to hang on a wall and be looked at. Simple and true.
So true is this male female connection apparatus, that it was used to build and to populate the world. Now, think about that. Who wants to de-populate the world? Who wants to
re-name, and re-imagine the natural laws of world and the natural human body and indeed the purpose of the natural human body?
Absolutely right, I used to say when my kids were little that if you told me I could be an at home mom or a United States senator that I would choose the former every time. It's not that women can't be both at the same time, and some are, but I immediately recognized that as an at home mom I had it better than anybody else.
We recently took our big baby to the vet, (a very large panther-sized cat with claws that could kill a grown man, but afraid of his own shadow or any movement or sound not created by him.) The entire way there he was screeching and howling like you’ve never heard before. Twenty long minutes - nonstop. Some meows were timed by my son to last over 40 seconds. 🤣 When we got there I was all prepared to apologize for his loud mouth, but the minute we entered the exam room he was an absolute angel, quiet as a church mouse. Not a peep. Properly curious, walking around the room, opening drawers (I kid you not) and compliant with everything the doctor did, even the anal temperature. But the minute we got back in the car, twenty more minutes of howling torture. Little stinker.
I’ve had many cats in my life, and they ALL hated riding in the car. They would usually pee in the carrier too, so that was always lovely to smell. I wonder if you can train a little kitten to be a good car passenger?
Yes, my future husband and I were living together and got a kitten. A few months later he took a job two hours away and on my turns to visit him I took Bob (a girl kitty who looked like a bobcat) and she did great! She even went outside to go potty while at his house. When I moved there in the spring she went jogging with us. ❤️
I’ve been lucky. When traveling by car a lot for work, I had two male cats who travelled beautifully. The females I have now absolutely hate it. The ability to travel depends upon the cat. Some do well, others don’t.
LOL Well about equal to a German shepherd puppy, which for a cat is huge. We always say this must be what a panther kitten looks like. He even walks with bowed legs. 😆Muscular. About 17 lbs? Haven’t checked lately. Might be heavier now …
I'm currently fostering kittens and one is a Siamese. She is most peculiar, and has beautiful sky blue eyes. I've yet to hear her make a sound other than a purr. ❤️
We love the Siamese breed because they have such great personalities. They can be like little dogs. Scooter follows us everywhere we go talking all the way. The new female doesn’t know her name yet but we discovered that she comes if you meow at her. 🤷♀️
If memory serves, Target was on the bathroom bandwagon waaaay back. It was the" tuck" swimsuits for toddlers and the Satanic clothing line more recently.
I never saw anyone do that in the local stores I frequented. I would definitely have boycotted them then if I had. Not that I even used the changing rooms.
I’ve been twice, for something I needed but would have had to have gone well out of my way for otherwise. But they were small purchases. I used to spend a couple hundred a month previously since I would get some of my groceries and household supplies and toiletries there, plus clothes for my kids and some other random stuff. I know it’s a drop in the bucket compared to their overall sales but I am betting I’m not the only one.
It’s really hard for me to believe that things are headed in the right direction. Yesterday, my daughter (who “came out” on social media last year) posted how much better life is now that she’s out. It’s one thing to come across that on my feed, but quite another to see the HUNDREDS of ‘likes’ and positive comments from her CHRISTIAN friends. My daughter and her partner love Jesus and truly believe they are enlightened, and that it’s my theology that’s outdated. Add all this to my inbox flooded with companies celebrating pride and I’m really struggling to believe we are trending in a more positive direction.🫤
For those who pray for random people on the internet, I would gratefully appreciate prayers for my daughter and our family. My heart is so heavy. Thank you.😔🙏
LB - I'm so sorry for your heavy heart! It is all around me - children I watched group up, even from strong Christian families. No repentance, no remorse. Just parents expected to "repent" of their outdated ways and accept the "new". I will be praying for your daughter and her friend (she calls partner). May the Lord deliver them from the bondage of the flesh, delusion, and sin!
Love and hugs in Christ Jesus! And better yet PRAYER lifted to the Creator God who can change hearts, deliver, and give new life!
Thank you so much for your prayers VelvetStitching. My husband and I are grateful that she desires to be in relationship with us despite our differences in opinion. We are grappling with what to do when they decide to get married and (somehow) have kids. Our prayers are continually for her and her girlfriend, and I believe change can happen. How wonderful that would be! We are hopeful in Christ, but at this moment, it feels rather dark.
I understand - I have seen this scenario played out several times with very close friends in our lives. It breaks my heart - their kids are like my own! I am praying - fervently!
And now I add a prayer request to you - I just got word my beloved brother had a stroke! Please pray for the medical team caring for him. I live 1600 miles away and care for our elderly mother. I cannot leave.
But God has him in his care. His name is Gregg. Thank you - any and all brethren who see this and PRAY! God answers and God can do the impossble things! 🙏🏼❤️
Oh my goodness! Praying now for Gregg, for wisdom and expertise in his care, and for complete healing. And for comfort and peace for you and his family.🙏💕
Our greatest tool in such cases is Inspiration. BEING the happiest healthiest most authentic versions of ourselves is the only thing that garners real results amongst confused family, friends and society.
What Jeffrey describes is, I believe, manifestations of the fruit of the spirit, shown by believers. They are a result of, not a cause of, receiving God's free grace.
Our Loving Common Father's most ardent wish is for His Children to be happy in the truest most inspiring sense of the word. 'Prayer' is action on many levels.
I just wanted to give you encouragement to persevere in prayer (I know you will!) for your daughter. I have two siblings who were in same sex relationships earlier in their lives, but have left the "lifestyle." My brother is now married with a child. 💗
Persevere in hope! There were times that, if you would have presented me with a future for my brother that looks like his life now, I wouldn't have thought it possible. 💗
My husband and I know there will be more conversation(s) with her in our future. We are praying for wisdom with timing and words so that our relationship with her remains intact and the lines of communication remain open.🙏
They believe in a different Jesus of their own making… Not judging—I’m in the same boat with my daughter who thinks she is a gay man…. I will pray for your daughter LB.
If it makes you feel any better, the Torah makes it clear that a man cannot lay with a man as he does a woman, but does not say anything about 2 women.
Gender is in all things. It is more than sexuality on the physical plane. Two same sex individuals can embody the Masculine and Feminine principles of Gender. And do.
Masculine and Feminine principles are present and active in all phenomena—physical, mental, and spiritual—not just in biological organisms. These principles are universal forces involved in creation, production, and generation.
Masculine: Directive, initiatory, projective, associated with will, consciousness, and the “sending forth” of energy or ideas.
Feminine: Receptive, generative, formative; it receives the masculine impulse and actualizes it into form or reality.
Both are necessary for creation; neither is superior. Everything contains both in varying degrees and balances.
Two weeks ago, at work, ( hospital) someone anonymously left a company sponsored sign up sheet proclaiming the Spokane pride parade and asking for volunteers for various booths and responsibilities. It was prominently posted. To date, not one single person in my department has signed up.
This last Sunday was Feast of the Holy Trinity in the Catholic Church. Come, Holy Spirit, come. Now, upcoming this next Sunday is Feast of Corpus Christi (Latin for Body of Christ). After Mass, we will proceed through streets & neighborhoods behind our clergy proclaiming the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. This will happen in a deep blue PNW city.
The feast day is actually this Thursday, but we’ll celebrate Sunday so more can attend. This is happening all over the world with millions of Catholics. Each region celebrates w/ their own cultural flavor, and has been an annual thing since the 13th century. The loudest and most colorful processions will be in Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe.
Connecting pride month to the deadly sin was brilliant. Also, for the proclamations, resolutions, etc to define the family by including children whether biological, adopted, fostered was equally so.
It is the yin and yang of the Male + Female that makes a safe, yet encouraging place to place adopted and fostered children. That if the Man is not emasculated to terribly by society, and the woman of the home.
It also is mentioned in Holy Writ as "going before a fall".....PRAISE YAHWEH that the inglorious 'pride month' in our present day world is FALLING big time!
There is the proof that the Grift of the LEFT was using and funding their constituencies to further their attack on society and the nuclear family. I feel for the Gay community, and I have heard from some that they never sought all the other Bullshit that co-opted their quest for partnership rights\via marriage, which of course was used as the Trojan Horse that unleashed the WOKE!
Personally, I think gender neutral bathrooms are fine...just as long as there is only one toilet, a sink and a lock on the door. And if corporations like Target want to install multiple restrooms to accommodate use by one person at a time (either sex, of course), why that's just fine with me!
...I have to relate a story from 1995 at the Oakland coliseum for a Raiders-Steelers game. I'm in the men's room which was a mess like I have never seen (pre kick-off) and a group of hells angels comes in with their girls. Waiting for a stall I ask them why would you bring your women into this cesspool? One of them said 'Would you like to see the inside of the womens bathroom?" His girl said "It's twice as bad as this is!"
My female friends have always told me that female public bathrooms are more "messy" and offensive than men's. One friend would insist on using the men's bathroom and make me stand guard outside the door.
Oh I am with you!!! I prefer single person BUT don’t label them for gender neutral crap. Just call them a bathroom. 🤦🏼♀️ I dislike the use of their agenda words to describe what any person can use.
I agree, Sunny...I would anticipate that "prideful" corporate and governmental entities would surrender to economic forces when instead of two bathrooms, they are forced to install multiple bathrooms to accommodate single person usage.
The rainbow was stolen from the children and the hippies and turned from a spectacular display of sun and water in the sky to the logo of perverts. Reclaim the rainbow!!
I used to have a 1963, and a 1975 VW Beetle and of course you had to get a little rainbow in the back window. It was a different time, and I was pissed when They highjacked the rainbow.
The enemy doesn't have an original idea of its own.
Maybe Lying, seeing its the father of all lies.
I will always enjoy the rainbow and remember God's Promise.
The funding drying up for the pride parades and events seems to be yet another example of the left wanting everyone else to pay for their pet projects. Why aren’t they stepping up to fund them on their own if they think these events are so important? 🤔
Has anyone else noticed that the slow death of DEI and Pride happened after the dissolution of USAID? The money for the circus came from somewhere, and now that money has dried up.
I was just reminded that when Malia Obama was living in the White House, she got $2.4 million from USAID for writing some letters to children in Africa.
Next: let's erase Juneteenth from the calendar.
I was at my local Target yesterday and there were NO ads, clothes, signs mentioning pride or rainbows. It was terrific to see. What I did see were clothes and sweaters for the whole family with USA and our flag on them.
I fear another Brandon type presidency will just as quickly reverse the trend. We better be vigilant during the next elections to keep things red
Right on. We are merely at an Intermission. The second act will be much more aggressive
Actually, the second act for these types is always to re-brand the last act. So, They re-grouped and used their Act-Blue, NSAID, NGO money, and redistributed it to create ICE Protests. Which also meant minimal funds for their usual in your face, sexual shenanigan celebrations!
Agree. We are not even close to hearing the fat lady sing
Bessemer is on it. He is working on ways to deprive terrorist groups of getting their payout.
The importance of this can’t be overstated… PLEASE VOTE because your freedom depends on it! We can’t give our country to socialist marxists!
Someone needs to inform Tucker Carleson. He has tremendous reach and is inspiring anti-trump sentiment in the independent crowd (i used to be one) so i am worried
I have found Tucker to be an empty shirt, hanging on a clothesline, captive to which ever way the wind blows. Very disappointing! I think VDH had it right, Tucker was fine as long as he had managers and guidelines that could keep him focused.
I was willing to overlook the UFO fixations, to each there own, but to do an about face on MAGA and to become so antisemitic was bizarre and furthering the propaganda of Hamas and Hezbollah after the horrific attacks on Oct. 7, was a Galaxy too far!
What the heck happened to him? I quit my subscription and don't see him mentioned anywhere that matters..
He has his own YouTube channel with millions of subscribers
Well, not me. Every weirdo has an audience. He doesn't have credibility in the realm of normal anymore- in my opinion
Woah! TC follows his own reasoning, not a crowd pleaser. Curious to know what he says with which you disagree... how "did he lose cred with you?" and is MAGA perfect?" Sincerely curious.
MAGA is not perfect, not did I ever think it was. It was when TC went full Qatar.
Neither is Tucker
Your lips to God’s ears
Yup. Did anyone see Obama and mamdani reading to the children’s classroom recently?
It was splashed all over media…
look up the images! No one said a single thing about the drag queen in the purple suit sitting right next to them!
Oh yeah- this fight isn’t over. It’s all just lying in wait for the next dem or progressive to pick up the baton !!
wow what's up with Target- and now even an ad that features a non mixed race - oh the horrors
Yes! That family was so white that I needed to grab my sun glasses just to view it. Lol
I wonder if that was a national ad or "targeted." Sorry about the pun
LOL, indeed!
Hurray!
Yay! Good to know. We moved out of the city over 5 years ago, so haven’t been to a Target in many years. It used to be a favorite store, and then they changed the whole look and feel of it, even before the “pride” thing.
I promised myself I would never cross the threshold of a Target Store again and I’m sticking to that promise. They have nothing I can’t find elsewhere. I stay clear of Bud Lite, too😏
Exactly! Fool me once! They were my go to store when the kids were young. I used to joke that we should own stock because between housewares, clothing and school supplies, birthday and Christmas gifts, we had dropped a small fortune at Target!
We didn't leave Target, Target left us! Thankfully, we have outgrown our spending heavy spending years!
I was elated to see it.
Good to know, but I will probably never step foot in one again.
Right on MM! They'll never get another dime of my money. I don't forget and I don't forgive. And that goes for all the rest of them.
Best to you and yours.
Later Jay
I feel the same way Jay. I did not buy anything while I was there. Was just snooping around to see if they were being woke or not. I was pleasantly surprised though.
I did not buy anything. Just went in to see what my local store was doing for pride month. I was almost tempted to buy a summer sweater with the flag on it and USA but did not. Stand your ground MaryAnn.
me too!
I will never go back to Target. They are on our my " xxxx list". Got two of those. One is with my financial advisor; Target listed with Disney as NOT investable for me.
Sadly, during the WOKE JOKE years, most anyone with mutual funds, CD's and other retirement/pension accounts were investing in all of the above and more! The BIG Investment firms, Blackrock State street and Van Guard were quietly using our money to further the DEI takeover of our Government institutions and the Businesses that we were boycotting!
Besides Target and Disney, State Street, Black Rock and others of their ilk are on my xxxx list with my financial advisor NOT to allow investment in them.
I have boycotted Target since they introduced female swimsuits with a fly. Hopefully, that item is deep sixed.
I stopped shopping at Target the minute they installed the new bathroom policy. It is dangerous to women and girls, as well as an invasion of bodily privacy.
swimsuits with a fly. now I have heard it all.
Years ago Target announced in our area they would not allow Salvation Army bell ringers in front of their stores. I have not and will not frequent them ever!
Wouldn't you know,,, the one Charity that has the lowest overhead and true altruism, is the one they cancel! My guess is that the Salvation Army would not allow itself to be Grifted by the Mob!
Unfortunately, the Salvation Army went total DEI! So no longer donate to them.
That's when we quit shopping there to begin with. Have never set foot in one since and don't plan to ever again. The whole rainbow thing sealed the deal
What’s a Target? 🤔😉
Reply to Janet, Target is a cheap type of store, like K-mart or Walmart in the states. I’ve never been to one either. In Canada, they opened stores but tanked quite quickly. Odd, really, but in hindsight a good thing.
I still don't shop there. They don't have anything special.
Same thing here--no sign of pride garbage in my local Target, and I'm in California!
I will not spend any of my money at target again.
Yes to no Juneteenth!
I asked ChatGPT what national holiday was in June and it said that there was an Independence Day June 14th. I replied I thought America’s Independence is July 4th. It said well yes but and then went on to explain Juneteenth.
It’s evil
June 14th is Flag Day and Trumps birthday!
How perfect! That must have inspired him as a child.
Why ask AI anything? Five minutes ago, we didn’t use AI to learn things. You don’t know who programmed it.
Amen Suzy, I am Not going to let a Machine programmed by??? Just Use Your BRAIN‼️🤷🙀😻
I’m with you! I can’t believe people would ask AI to give them answers on anything! Use the brain God gave you!
The Chat is only telling you what evil people program it to tell you. These AI platforms search databases very quickly to find answers to you basic question. The best way to use them is to be specific about your question and yo always pushback on the answer when you know it to be false. The bot will eventually concede that you are correct and look for less biased information or facts.
And that continues the training of the tool. My hubby does just what you described.
What Independence Day is in June? There is not one! Trump's birthday and Flag Day happen to be on June 14th. Juneteenth is June 19th. That's not an Independence Day of any sort, other than what the PTB made it.
If only they would reveal that it was democrats still enslaving black people who didn’t know they were emancipated until June 14. Maybe black people would stop voting Democrat if they knew the true history.
At least some of them probably buy the ridiculous “the parties switched” nonsense 🙄
That’s such a good point.
Let AI in duck duck go tell you about Deborah Birx and you’ll think she’s a saint if you didn’t know better!
Don’t use AI. It’s evil.
Oh I hate it! GIGO
Odd that ChatGPT would make a mistake like that. Juneteenth is June 19th. And it's not the day slavery ended all over the United States, it's the day in 1865 when the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863, was enforced in Texas. In Delaware and Kentucky, slaves were not freed until December of that year, when the national abolition amendment was ratified. Juneteenth didn't used to be celebrated outside the South.
When and where was it celebrated before 2008? I've lived in the south all of my life. Never heard of it until Obummer....
Maybe I shouldn't have said "the South." I was born in Texas in 1948 and it was a thing all my life, acknowledged by Whites as a holiday celebrated by Blacks. I moved away before The Age of Woke.
You are correct, it was a Texas thing.
Just like Kwanza
But what do we do about the Treasury Secretary who claims to be married to another man and is raising adopted children? This seems like an endorsement of PRIDE by our current administration. I'm serious. How do we navigate the waters of hypocrisy that our "blind eye" approach to the matter has left all of us who support this president. He didn't have to select Bessent or Grinnell knowing the biblical stance on homosexuality and he surely would have been advised against it by Christian men close to him yet he did it anyway and then recently boasted about how he garnered a large portion of the gay vote in 2024.
Neither of those two men shove it down our throats or expect us to use pronouns, share their views or in any way participate in their beliefs. They both excell in their jobs. They are the gays that I do not worry about. They hurt no one else with their life choices.
Let the Lord attend to their souls.
One might argue that they "shove it down our throats," by taking the step of "marrying" another man when marriage is between xx and xy chromosome people and since the term marriage implies sexual relations, then exalting anyone who flaunts their sin, (the Bible clearly calls homosexuality that in multiple texts), by giving them national prominence, perhaps even signing our currency, is sending the wrong message to our kids that as long as you're good at something, it doesn't matter the lifestyle you choose. Would Trump have endorsed Hegseth if Pete had proclaimed he was an adulterer, would continue to philander and furthermore, sees nothing wrong with it? Of course not, but that's what's been done with Bessent when you think about it.
One might argue...but would lose that argument.
I never even knew Bessent was gay until now. So clearly, it is not being shoved down our throats.
I had no clue that Bessent is homosexual until I found out from M. Patrick McCrary mere moments ago.
And because you didn't know, you're pretty sure others don't and that it will never be discovered by the masses which may cause an even greater spiritual crisis among our youth when they see his name on currency and having achieved such heights in wealth and fame during his time as Trump's Treasury Secretary, so why not go in that direction themselves if the conservative's choice for president thinks it is ok by virtue of his naming him to such a prominent post?
I think the Lord has enough grace, mercy and patience to go around to all. Remember, the rain falls on the just and the unjust. I can't judge the level of one sin over another, but I know Jesus covered all sins for those that believe in him. If any is without sin, let him cast the first stone. We don't know the relationship between others and the Lord so let us not be the judge. Dr. Bessent is extremely talented and seems to love helping to make America great again. Would you rather have someone straight and corrupt? Didn't Jesus say that the greatest one of the commandments was to love one another. We can pray also for those who we feel need prayer and also lift them up. I do love the saying that if you point a finger at someone, you still have 3 pointing back at yourself.
Do you remember what Jesus said to the woman after He said to the crowd, "He that is without sin cast the first stone?" He told the adulterous woman to "Go and sin no more." He forgave her but called her to leave her sin behind. Someone who claims to be married to another man is obviously not leaving his sin behind. We're all called to struggle against sin not give in to it and eventually have our hearts hardened to it to the extent we no longer even see it as sin.
Yes, thank you.
The Bible also clearly calls masturbation a sin. Let he who has never sinned cast the first stone.
We've all sinned but we're called to struggle against sinning in the future not to throw up our hands and say, "Oh well, it's too hard to resist so I'll just give up trying." And you must be referring to Obed who spilled his semen on the ground rather than impregnate his wife. Other than that story which I have no reason to doubt is true, it is the sin of lust that is at the root of all sexual experiences outside the bonds of marriage between man and a woman therefore when we lust, we must confess it before God, ask forgiveness and then repent which means we resolve to turn away from our sin but if we fail again, we are not to stay there and wallow in our sin no matter what it might be-theft, murder, gossip, drunkeness, etcs.
What verse?
Onan’s sin was that it was his familial duty to create a family with his deceased brother’s wife, after the brother had died, not simply that Onan spilled his seed on the ground.
How does one argue that marriage shoves anything down anyone's throat?
lol
There’s BlueSky for radicals like you
You couldn't be more mistaken, if you're talking to me. It is because I am an ultra-conservative but more than that, I believe the word of God which tells us we've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, that I take the stand that I do on unrepented sin which is what the proud homosexual is doing when he boldly "marries" the same sex. So, if our president then exalts someone who proclaims that whatever their sin is, they have no shame in it and will continue to practice it, I have to wonder what his agenda really is. I hope you get my point which is about exalting sin and both Bessent in his public proclamation of "marriage" to another man and Trump's elevation of him to national prominence, all speak of pride and as the proverb states, "Pride goeth before the fall. " I therefore can't expect God to bless America if America won't bless God by honoring His laws.
As long as they only shove it down each other’s throats, then we probably be ok.
Lol
Well said!
Excellent reply IMO.
From the beginning of the “gay marriage” debate I thought we should just call it something else, like civil unions. The homosexuals who wanted to “marry” really just wanted some of the same household rights married people enjoy, like hospital visitation and inheritance without the hassles. I’m not very comfortable with the right to adopt children, but am fine with the rest of it, and calling it a “civil union” would have given them rights without forcing Christians to compromise on the sacred institution of marriage that was actually invented by God. But at the time, the gay community insisted on full endorsement.
As a side note, I would have been in favor of ALL marriages being redefined as civil unions for the purposes of government rights and responsibilities, and we Christians could have kept the term marriage for all the religious implications. In other words, give it back to God and the church. Why let the government issue “marriage licenses” anyway? It doesn’t belong to the government.
I don't think that civil unions give the same rights. Marriage, according to the state, is a contract that affords certain rights, as well as responsibilities. It's part of property law, as everyone knows who ever watched a bitter divorce, complete with who gets the house and who gets the kids.
My co-worker lived with his partner for over 40 years. When his partner got sick, he asked for EIB time to take care of him, but the employer, a hospital, refused to give it to him. They also didn't give him medical benefits. But guess who the hospital came after when it was time to pay the hospital bill? They knew darn well who was the employed one in the family.
I thought that was wrong, so I supported gay marriage. Like you say, it has nothing to do with religion. People can get married in any church they want, but the contract law doesn't kick in until the government is involved, like it or not. I am also fine with calling all of it civil unions.
Mrs. RW
The government can define civil unions any way it wants to, it doesn’t matter what it used to mean. Find another term if you want to, but my point is, “marriage” should be a concept within the Christian faith without the government meddling and setting rules about it. Let the government decide what the society at large wants to allow and what rights and responsibilities go along with that, then give it a name, any name, just not “marriage”.
I'm fine with that. But marriage contract law is actually spelled out pretty well.
Mrs. RW
Christianity did not invent marriage, nor does it have a monopoly on it.
Christianity did not invent marriage. God did.
Yup. In the Old Testament.
What's more, nuclear families have not been around since time immemorial either.
Humans lived in tribes and extended families longer than we've done this version of coupling.
Mrs. RW
Totally agree.
Holy Matrimony... and 'other' matrimony? 😁🇨🇦
Does this speak to President Trump chosing the bedt person for the job? He doesn't discriminate, nor does he "check the box" to hire specific characteristics, rather than qualifications.
Absolutely. Merit is 47s FIRST requirement.
While I agree philosophically with your position, i have to also agree with other posters that our national laws do not discriminate for folks' personal shortfalls in offices, and allow for arrangements of single sex "marriages" (whether we likecit or not; would have preferred civil unions if any allowance). We have a national history of flawed men in office, generally they kept their flaws to themselves and executed their offices well. Bessent and others in Trump's administration seem like that. And are a positive contrast with Biden's cross dressing appointees! They were in our faces, and perfored awfully in their offices!
If Trump didn't know Bessent was a proud homosexual then I would agree but that is highly unlikely. Try to substitute another sin in place of the practice of homsexuality. Suppose Bessent admitted that he was a cleptomaniac and didn''t intend to give up his practice of stealing, would Trump have nominated him? Of course, if Bessent didn't admit to his larcenous bent, Trump would not be held responsible.
I think larceny is far more relevant to Bessent’s job than his sexual inclinations are, though.
Gay people exist and have for millenia, probably always. I do not want the lifestyle mainstreamed, (which arguably was and is the goal of religious texts) but I do not want those people demonized either. I personally find it off-putting but that's how I know I am heterosexual.
Saying the current admin endorses Pride by the appointment of our Treasury Secretary is like saying heterosexual orgies are being endorsed by the appointment of any straight officials.
Let that one go! They’re both effective and helpful to the cause. Their issue is with God, not me. Insistence on absolute purity would leave us with no warriors.
Look at who Jesus chose for his twelve apostles...
And He broke bread with tax collectors, sinners, and prostitutes! 🙃
Personally, I object to putting a Soros henchmen in charge of the Treasury Dept.
There are very few people as corrupt and evil as Soros, and Bessent was part of the operation to short the British pound back in 1992. That didn't go well for the Brits.
The seven sins cover Soros more than homosexuality. Pride. Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, and Sloth.
The first five warn against the very sins personified by Soros and other financial manipulators.
Mrs. RW
I also was concerned about this connection. But, I have seen no actions on the part of Bessent to do damage. So far, he seems to be excellent at his job, and that is all we may require of him as a public servant, and is very witty besides. Meritocracy. What he does in his off time is his own business.
Agree with you 100% on Soros. I really don't understand why he has not been prosecuted for treason (and all manner of bad deeds) and had citizenship stripped. Now, his mealy mouthed little lily of a son has taken over and he even married 50 yr old Huma Abiden -gross on it's own -( bet he had to marry to 'prove' he's straight.).
Just for fun "Soros Definition -an urn or receptacle for keeping the bones of the dead"
I saw Bessent bragging about stealing a billion dollars from Iranians the other day.
I count that as two sins.
And yeah, the combo of Soros and Abiden is a match made in hell.
Mrs. RW
Perhaps like so many in this administration, Bessent has awakened to the errors of his early thinking? After all he was only 28/29 at the time of the British pound issue. Others include Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr, Tammy Bruce etc.
He's brilliant, and very good at his job.
IMO the first requirement for an administration job, CAN they do the job? Next, WILL they do the job and will they execute the Presidents agenda. Once they fill those three, all else is somewhat unimportant UNLESS it interferes with the job.
I don't know. He worked there for 24 years, and was a top henchman.
We'll have to see how good he is at this job. The thing I worry about is, what is his job? Is it to help the American people? Or to push us into a cashless society? Or to move more of America's wealth from regular people to the financial people?
I'm waiting to see.
Mrs. RW
Mrs. RW: "What is his job?" $24 Question!
I did not know this about Mr Bessant. I'm very sad to find out... especially seeing as how states are coming out and proclaiming the month of June for Nuclear families! (of course, not here in my home state of California)
When I went up to our town's senior center this afternoon to vote, the menu for the senior lunches had rainbows and pride month... and the other perverse bs could be seen at the Kenneth Aiken Senior Center.
I'd really like to know what any of that has to do with senior activities or programs. But then... this is California; and I am in Alameda County; so I shouldn't be surprised.
And I guess I'm not really "surprised." I'm just thoroughly disgusted!
Pres. Trump is nominally Christian. He is also a merit based leader and is more on the don’t ask don’t tell side. He sees the person. I think he will not inject himself into that issue, letting it play out in the courts as a states rights issue, rather than initiating anything.
Tjat he does NOT declare anyone as DEI hire is his declaration. It is refreshing.
You have no right to judge the faith of anyone. That belongs to God alone, as only He knows the heart of each of us.
They are a nuclear family by all accounts and definition. 2 parents and naturalized, fostered or adopted children.
Except I did think the definition specified a husband and wife and their children?
"The nuclear family, consisting of one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children"
Yes, this is what I was referring to.
Spouses. Those in a committed relationship.
I should perhaps have specified that I was referring to the definitions given by the governors mentioned in today’s round up.
Trump isn't a Christian, but appreciates Christians. He has never been against gay/lesbian lifestyle that I know of. He also isn't very pro-life, though he supports those who are & did well to nominate Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe + spoke at Walk for Life.
Bessent is gay too? I must not be paying good enough attention…
It boggles the mind when you think about how much public money is being siphoned off, misdirected, misappropriated, laundered, and outright stolen. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that if it weren’t for the fraud, waste, and corruption, we wouldn’t be $30T in debt. We need to bring back DOGE full force at the national level, and at the state, and municipal levels. In conjunction with that, we need to create mechanisms to stop spending money (much of which we don’t have) for anything but very limited government.
Stop the spending; fix the elections.
Adding to the waste and corruption that's created the national debt would be all the wars and conflicts we've financed and been drawn into. Somewhere out there are a lot of people who owe that money back to the tax payers.
Well as Trump knows the playbook of the City of London. We've been there strong arm many years. The endless war is a racket, is finished?
I want all Government Grants to stop! Until each case can be properly vetted and evaluated, assigned to an auditing arm, much like we assign children and elderly to Social Workers for monitoring.
Not that I think Social Workers are the answer, but a computer tracking system that follows the money and verifies the intended usage, and records progress/failure of the Grantee, would be a step toward eliminating fraudsters. The PTA's Safe Routes to School program asking for a Grant for a bicycle path, separated from a commuter route with multiple ingress and egress points, is a good use of Grant money and not where the GRIFT is happening.
I DID notice that my updated calendar in Google does now prominently display all Muslim holidays.
Apple’s done that for years. These dates are imbedded & can’t be deleted as far as I can tell. Very annoying.
I turned off all holidays. Fortunately I’m capable of putting in the American holidays all by myself and if I can do it so can you!
So simple! Thanks- I’m an over thinker.
How do you turn it off? I ignore them now but I would prefer they don’t even show up!
Dena, I agree, I hate seeing those Muslim (and other false religions) holidays on my phone. Somebody needs to make a way to delete them.
It should be a drop down menu of holidays you wish to see or not see.
Exactly!
I'm old school 🤣 I use a paper calendar I buy from Walmart. No muslim holidays or celebrations. Jewish, US, UK, Aust, NZ, Kwanzaa, but no muslim.
Kwanza! Another creation to divide the West.
Apple’s recent update wanted to include iridescent pride wallpaper!
🤮
Glad We never drank the the rotten apple juice!
You know, the first Apple computer was created in a garage that sat on a former Cherry orchard. The neighborhood across the train tracks (now an Expressway) had rolling hills with of Apricot orchards, a cattle ranch and 20 acres of fields that grew flowers for resale.
You can unsubscribe from the Apple calendar. I did that years ago. I do have to put holidays in myself, but that’s a small price to pay for not having to see when Ramadan and Quanza are…
I wonder if Google in the mideast countries displays Christian holidays.
You know it does not.
Actually I didn't. I suspect it but don't know for sure.
Boom! The hypocrisy is very telling!
It's either being more accurate or it's continuing to manipulate society. Does it cover Buddhist & Hindu holidays too? If not it's just more manipulation, Google is good at that.
You can select those if you want in the calendar settings.
I choose the Christian holidays, but Gaggle still lists the Juneteenth thing. Tried deleting it, but they don't give you Free Will.
Google is one of the digital masters and manipulation is what they do.
Didn't you know that Google is the Borg! There employees are very well cared for and will do just about anything to anyone to keep their cushy conditions. We saw their tactics during the Plandemic. Meta/Face Book, etc., have a similar gig, and most where indoctrinated in Americas Leftist Uni's on taxpayer funded loans or financial aid, so they have only ever worked for the hivemind!
I changed my settings so my calendar doesn't show that stuff.
How? I would love to change my settings to not show Muslim holidays.
On my Android phone I went to settings on my calendar and I saw holiday and I went there and set it to Religious and Christian holidays. So far no Muslim stuff 👍
Godspeed
If you click on the holiday, select the three dots in upper right you have the option to hide or delete that holiday.
I don’t have that option on my iPhone
You are correct. Isn't it weird that they have an Apple with a Bite on it. 😏
Thank you, but iPhone has no option. Just US Holidays with no options.
Correct, Apple doesn't allow you to change it.
But it is an Apple with a Bite taken out. 😏
You can unsubscribe from Apple calendar
Thanks. I did just that.
As long as we continue to give “P” month air time, it will remain in our direct line of vision every single year.
Make it go away.
Same with the ridiculous obsession with the “E” files. 😏
I noticed that many calendars no longer list the Jewish High Holy Days. Very telling as to how deeply entrenched the Muslim Money Machine and Lobby has infiltrated American Society.
Funny how Tucker doesn't rail against the Muslim interference with America in Academia, Tech and Social Media, etc.
And how many industries they control like sports—horse racing is a good example and soccer at least in Europe.

As with most things it has to do with the root of all evil—company financing is controlled by the WEF, and they required these companies commit DEI CEI and ESG suicide or they would withold it. Now the kids are ruined. Satan laughing, spreads his wings.
GAG to all of it.
YES!
That’s strictly a Texas holiday—the day Texas slaves heard they had been freed.
It is an unnecessary holiday that is celebrated by banks and businesses closing across the country.
Juneteenth also happens to fall on my 50th anniversary.
shouldn't it be on every anniversary? I any case, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
😔
Jeff C. Got it! Pride goeth and their Fall has happened! Now, please also do a full column on the very serious issues of the burgeoning AI Data Centers! And, is AI really tracking people who are concerned, but also people it predicts will be opposed?
Here here!
Yes! I believe Idaho did.
Yep, we've been funding that nonsense unknowingly.
Nobody has a clue what Juneteenth is really about. A good friend who's a US history major never heard of it until a few years ago.
Bessent is on it. He is working on ways to deprive terrorist groups of getting their payout.
Bessent is doing a great job.
Took them long enough. Collective delusions are real.

But the man from whom the demons had gone out was begging Him that he might accompany Him. But He sent him away, saying, “Return to your house and recount what great things God has done for you.” So he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
— Luke 8:38-39 LSB
✝️✝️✝️
That’s our charge. That’s our instructions for what we are supposed to do with our life. While some of us are called to drop everything, leave our homes, and follow God to who knows where, most of us are to follow God right back into our own homes and share His Good News from there.
The question is will America repent from transgressing against Biblical Law and once again explicitly uphold God's Law for culture AND government?
I think this is why the Father is giving us a second chance.
HIS people repented.
But we must ever be on guard against returning to our apathy.
"...Gay marriage rights were supposed to once and for all satisfy gay people’s civil rights concerns."
Here's the problem. "Civil rights" are by definition "rights" that are given by the State which can be changed or revoked by the State. This effectively makes all men slaves of the Government. Our founders recognized this and declared America will be a land of TRUE liberty. As enunciated in the Declaration of Independence, America was founded upon the principle of "unalienable rights given by God". In other words, there is a higher law that civil government is to be held accountable to that define the unalienable rights of all men. Biblical law is thus a restriction on the power of the State.
The USG has long ago abandoned any concept of unalienable rights as defined by God's Word. From the SCOTUS on down, "rights" are only those rights granted by the government which can be changed or cancelled depending on the policies being pursued by the government. We saw the results of this over the last six years when churches were closed, the economy shut down and a bio-weapon sold as a "vaccine" was forced upon all of America.
There is no true repentance until the nation, once again, affirms that our rights as men are "unalienable rights granted by God". "Gay marriage rights" are NOT a right under Biblical law.
Bravo Politico Phil. You are correct to point out that rights given to people by the government are not the full rights mentioned in the Declaration of Independence. We must be ever vigilant to ensure that our God given rights are not violated by the government in its pursuit of control over the public.
Many church goers out in the counties (away from the useful idiot spies/Karens', created by the LEFTISTS), continued to gather in barns, backyards and pastures, just like their ancestors who tamed the West. They knew that their Church family, was their community and their lifeline to sanity in a dangerous and wild land, where predators, both bi-ped and quadroped, lay in wait on the road to the lawless, hedonistic cities!
Word to the wise! Today we are faced with two-legged predators that roam our cities and towns which we now have to constantly be on alert for. This was NOT the American experience of the 50s and 60s. This trend will only result in the breakdown of society and civil war.
I hope so Phil.
Heaven has been warning Us that the final battle will be on Marriage's and Families.

God’s rainbow covenant:
“Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, “Now behold, I Myself do establish My covenant with you, and with your descendants after you; and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, even every beast of the earth. I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
God said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations; I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud, and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.””
Genesis 9:8-17
You still talking about Epstein?
"Woe, woe, how terrible is this place. And those men said to me: This place O Enoch, is prepared for those who dishonor our God, who on earth practice sin against nature, which is child- corruption after the sodomitic fashion, magic making, enchantments and devilish witchcraft, and who boast if their wicked deeds, stealing, lies, calumnies, envy, rancor, fornication, murder, and who, accursed, steal the souls of men, who, seeing the poor take away their goods and themselves was rich, injuring them for other men's goods, who being able to satisfy the empty, made the hungering to die being able to clothe, stripped the naked and who knew not their creator, and bowed to the soulless (and lifeless) gods, who cannot see, nor hear, vain gods, (who also built) hewn images and bow down to unclean handiwork, for all these is prepared this place among these, for eternal inheritance.

You just described the Democrat party who removed God from their platform years ago.
And the Liberal party of Canada who also removed God from their platform and are trying to remove it from our Nation by use of laws to punish us for speaking of our faith in God.
You still think that there are two parties?
"In short, we must not be distracted by myriad marginal issues and false dichotomies like left vs. right, liberals vs. conservatives and so forth. The ultimate culprits, the super-predator threatening humanity are the high-level bankers: a handful of families and individuals who control and manage the present monetary system. We’ve no choice but to oppose and defeat them."
Alex Krainer Substack
"Two parties" is a deception giving the people a false belief that they "have a choice." There is no choice. There is only the uniparty. Rep/Dem or Biden/Trump - simply different flavors of the same control mechanism.

There's nothing helpful on the island, not trees or animals or even grass. Cinderella starts to cry. "Oh, what will I do?"
Then POOF! Her Fairy Godmother appears.
"Oh thank my lucky stars!" Exclaims Cinderella. "Fairy Godmother, I need your help again! Please get me off this desert island and back safely to land!"
"Oh, deary me!" Says the Fairy Godmother. "Unfortunately, my magic can only turn things into other things. I could make one of these rocks into a ship to sail you home, and some other rocks into sailors, but it would be a journey of many weeks, and they'd all turn back into rocks at the stroke of midnight and you'd drown! I think I will have to fly across the ocean myself and try to convince a ship to sail out to rescue you! But it will take days, or possibly weeks, and you might starve in the meantime. So here is what I will do. I will give you some of my magic."
Zippity zoop! The Fairy Godmother waves her wand at Cinderella.
"There. Now, all you need to do is point at something and say a type of food, and that thing will turn into that food and so you will be able to stay fed and healthy until I can return."
"Oh, thank you, Fairy Godmother!" Cinderella says. "Let me try it out right now!" She points at a nearby rock. "You are a roast turkey."
POOF! The rock turns into a perfectly cooked roast turkey, smelling delicious. Delighted, Cinderella points at a seashell. "You're a milkshake!"
POOF! The seashell turns into a milkshake.

A man has died and is waiting to be transported to the next stage
He wonders aloud to Death about what happens next. Death replies "YOU WERE A GOOD FELLOW ON EARTH , YOU WILL GO TO HEAVEN , WHERE YOU WILL ENJOY ETERNAL YOUTH , YOU CAN DO BASICALLY ANYTHING YOU WANT , ANYTHING YOUR HEART DESIRES ".
The man thinks that's pretty wonderful, and settles in for the journey.
Death announces that he has to go and speak to St Peter and do the paperwork, so the man is left alone for a while in Death's office.
He thinks to himself about what he wants to do when he gets there, he could eat all of the delicious foods he never got to try on earth, he could drive the best sports cars he could imagine, he could even be a care-free child again.
He lingers on that final thought for a moment, it's so appealing to him to be able to run around, play, be silly, and do everything for the first time again with nobody judging him. He gets excited, and stands up.
Death returns into the office, just in time to see the man bouncing on the sofa. He asks "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" to which the man replies "I'm having the time of my life, or should I say time of my death?" Just as he finishes speaking, the sofa tears open, and the man falls all the way through.
Death is furious and yells "DO YOU KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE THAT WAS!? I HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO EARTH NOW TO GET A NEW ONE". The man sheepishly apologises.
Death asks the man to stand up, and they begin their journey to the afterlife. As they arrive, Death says to the man "GO INSIDE, THEY WILL TELL YOU WHAT TO DO FROM HERE". He obliges.
As he walks in, Satan says to the man "Welcome to Hell"
"Hell!?" the man splutters. "But I was told I was going to heaven, there must have been some kind of mistake!“
"Unfortunately that is not the case. You see, in life, you were a good man, however in death, you have behaved recklessly and with no consideration for the reaper cushions."
Very funny, thanks!!!

I received a pride month email from Colectivo coffee yesterday. I immediately unsubscribed. I wonder if they notice stuff like that?
Only if you hit the unsubscribe button very forcefully. 😉
I clicked it proudly, as a matter of fact!
I'll allow it.
We are so ‘PROUD’ of you!!
Here’s an old one.
“I’m so proud to be so humble”
And another:
“If conceit were consumption, I’d be consumed,
But conceit’s a fault and I’m perfect.”
🤣
Only if you call and tell them why, which I do often. Even then it may not matter, but the more of us that do that the more it does.
I agree, and I tell them if they ask during the process. Regardless, great social marketers pay attention to the metrics. If a particular campaign results in more unsubscribes than usual, the smart ones pick up on the telemetry and make changes.
They definitely pay attention to what causes unsubscribing, and the timing of it. I am sure you weren't alone yesterday, and I bet they noticed. Whether they change anything is a different story.
Good point
Seriously, search your inbox for email with the word "Pride" and unsubscribe en-mass. We can make an impact!
Yes I’ve done that in the past. And complained directly especially when the marketing targets children.
Two years ago I deleted my account from a big company that supplies Alaska fresh fish. It’s very hard to get good fish in Florida unless you go catch it yourself. Which I cannot do.
I sent an email listing exactly the reasons I deleted my account. They waited until the last day of June to proclaim their support for pride garbage. So I let them know they should’ve kept their mouth shut one day longer. I got a reply about how they want to support all their customers. I said that’s too bad you chose that cause. I’m out!
I have since ordered again almost 2 years later. Waiting to see if they changed their decision to run their mouth. If they haven’t learned I’ll delete for good - and let them know exactly why.
Check out Aaron Young on Key West Waterman channel on YouTube, and you can get fresh fish over night from his supplier. He is always talking about the place he takes his catch to on his videos.
The fish bought in Publix and the others are at least a week old, or longer.
There's a lot of places in Florida and the fish are a day or two old.
Godspeed
Great news!!! Thank you. I will check him out. 🙌
I subscribed and sent an email as I don’t see where to order fish.

They want to support all of their customers by only supporting a select group of them? 🙄 They never make any sense 🙄
🎯 I never heard them support any other customers that way 🙄
Right??
The likely reason that most companies took a FORCED "Pride" stand, was to virtue signal to the Banking Establishments', (Mafioso's, stopping by a business, suggesting, wink, wink, that they might want to pay fire insurance or suffer the consequences tomorrow night), threats of not floating emergency payroll loans anymore unless certain DEI ...inset alphabet combo here... policies and procedures, donations, are not implemented Ponto!
That has been show to be one of the shakedown methods used to steamroll the WOKE Joke through America! Lawsuits are what saved us and put the fear of money loss and spotlight on the Big Investment Firms working like a monopolistic Mafia against Americans, often using our own investment income to further their Borg-like, lockstep hustle!
Try Sitka Seafood Market. Amazing fish, caught by small-boat fishermen mostly in Alaska, and I've never seen them do anything DEI-ish.
I will check them out. Thank you! What I get through Wild Alaska is flash frozen off the boat and the quality has been great. The family is local
Alaskans so I want to support that too. Just not willing to support the agenda. It’s too bad. But thanks for another option!
Some unsubscribed want to know why. Tell them.
That seat belt analogy was a powerful statement. It is funny how we were told any option is ok but reality says it is not! Fabulous illustration of the absurdity by the airlines!!
Years ago my mother gave me a membership to the Focus on the Family newsletter. All my friends were saying how stupid it was and anti-woman. Looks like as usual, mom was right. I’m so glad I had children and now grandchildren. My friends who chose not to have children really missed out on the best things in life. The FAMILY is the foundation of all civilization.
I was listening to Dr Dobson back in the late 70s, and he is a National Treasure.
And they had their headquarters attacked by a guy who was encouraged,or hired by the SPLC. Go figure 😏
I bought and read so, so many of Dr James Dobson’s books as a young Mom. Listening to his talks was always a blessing as well. He passed fairly recently & went home to his Savior. So thankful for godly men (& women), I afraid to stand for the Lord and truth! 🙏🙏🙏
Many years ago I was working in Orlando and my primary care doctor was Dr John Hartman and his partner in the practice was Dr Walt Larimore, sp?
Dr Walt Larimore went to Focus on the Family to be the Medical Director in the mid 90s.
Both were wonderful health care providers.
Dr Dobson and Mike Trout were a gift back in the day.
Hi Tony,
I used to laugh and say my mom got me a perpetual subscription to Dr. Dobson! I even went to one of his rally’s in Denver. He helped shape my opinions! Thank you to that great man.
Agree on all points!
The seatbelt visual is reality! They can rebrand, rename, and reimagine, nip this and tuck that, all they want but the truth is natural! Only one of those seatbelts is a seatbelt, the others are just artsy-fartsy useless displays to hang on a wall and be looked at. Simple and true.
So true is this male female connection apparatus, that it was used to build and to populate the world. Now, think about that. Who wants to de-populate the world? Who wants to
re-name, and re-imagine the natural laws of world and the natural human body and indeed the purpose of the natural human body?
Absolutely right, I used to say when my kids were little that if you told me I could be an at home mom or a United States senator that I would choose the former every time. It's not that women can't be both at the same time, and some are, but I immediately recognized that as an at home mom I had it better than anybody else.
Good morning C&C! Please pray for safe travels as we drive from N MN to MT with 2 cats and a dog. And the cats are singing. 😉 God bless you all.
Why can I hear this? Evidence that we own two cats. 🤣
That made me laugh Juju! They are Siamese too which means they are real talkers. My husband meows back at them which gets them going.
We recently took our big baby to the vet, (a very large panther-sized cat with claws that could kill a grown man, but afraid of his own shadow or any movement or sound not created by him.) The entire way there he was screeching and howling like you’ve never heard before. Twenty long minutes - nonstop. Some meows were timed by my son to last over 40 seconds. 🤣 When we got there I was all prepared to apologize for his loud mouth, but the minute we entered the exam room he was an absolute angel, quiet as a church mouse. Not a peep. Properly curious, walking around the room, opening drawers (I kid you not) and compliant with everything the doctor did, even the anal temperature. But the minute we got back in the car, twenty more minutes of howling torture. Little stinker.
I’ve had many cats in my life, and they ALL hated riding in the car. They would usually pee in the carrier too, so that was always lovely to smell. I wonder if you can train a little kitten to be a good car passenger?
Yes, my future husband and I were living together and got a kitten. A few months later he took a job two hours away and on my turns to visit him I took Bob (a girl kitty who looked like a bobcat) and she did great! She even went outside to go potty while at his house. When I moved there in the spring she went jogging with us. ❤️
A job two hours away is a very long time for a kitten.
You can! I accidentally did this when I picked up a kitten in CA and drove her seven hours to AZ. She is now 7 and a model passenger.
I’ve been lucky. When traveling by car a lot for work, I had two male cats who travelled beautifully. The females I have now absolutely hate it. The ability to travel depends upon the cat. Some do well, others don’t.
I think so.
I believe those large paws are called 'murder mittens'. 😊❤️
What a sweetheart. Is he really as big as a panther?
LOL Well about equal to a German shepherd puppy, which for a cat is huge. We always say this must be what a panther kitten looks like. He even walks with bowed legs. 😆Muscular. About 17 lbs? Haven’t checked lately. Might be heavier now …
He sounds great.
I'm currently fostering kittens and one is a Siamese. She is most peculiar, and has beautiful sky blue eyes. I've yet to hear her make a sound other than a purr. ❤️
We love the Siamese breed because they have such great personalities. They can be like little dogs. Scooter follows us everywhere we go talking all the way. The new female doesn’t know her name yet but we discovered that she comes if you meow at her. 🤷♀️
Funny that. And who knows what you say in 'meow' language.
Maybe it’s something like food because she comes running. 😂😂
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Praying!! Safe travels for you all 🙏🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏
I moved from Denver to NC last month driving with 2 screaming cats and a dog. I do not need to repeat that any time soon.
—“peaking in 2023 with its spectacularly suicidal attempt to gender-neutralize its bathrooms,”
That wasn’t the worst part—for me, the reason I stopped going there was because of the trans and pride stuff made for *children* 😡
If memory serves, Target was on the bathroom bandwagon waaaay back. It was the" tuck" swimsuits for toddlers and the Satanic clothing line more recently.
Yes, that’s my recollection as well.
I stopped years ago when they let men use the ladies changing rooms.
I never saw anyone do that in the local stores I frequented. I would definitely have boycotted them then if I had. Not that I even used the changing rooms.
Same with me, Karmy. 👍🏼
Yup - that was the last time I’ve ever stepped into a Target….
Same
I’ve been twice, for something I needed but would have had to have gone well out of my way for otherwise. But they were small purchases. I used to spend a couple hundred a month previously since I would get some of my groceries and household supplies and toiletries there, plus clothes for my kids and some other random stuff. I know it’s a drop in the bucket compared to their overall sales but I am betting I’m not the only one.
Exactly! Me too.
Tampa is proudly flying the “rainbow” flag on City Hall for the month. Of course, the female Mayor has a “wife.”
At least they can’t have a pride parade because of no funding though 😛
It’s really hard for me to believe that things are headed in the right direction. Yesterday, my daughter (who “came out” on social media last year) posted how much better life is now that she’s out. It’s one thing to come across that on my feed, but quite another to see the HUNDREDS of ‘likes’ and positive comments from her CHRISTIAN friends. My daughter and her partner love Jesus and truly believe they are enlightened, and that it’s my theology that’s outdated. Add all this to my inbox flooded with companies celebrating pride and I’m really struggling to believe we are trending in a more positive direction.🫤
For those who pray for random people on the internet, I would gratefully appreciate prayers for my daughter and our family. My heart is so heavy. Thank you.😔🙏
LB - I'm so sorry for your heavy heart! It is all around me - children I watched group up, even from strong Christian families. No repentance, no remorse. Just parents expected to "repent" of their outdated ways and accept the "new". I will be praying for your daughter and her friend (she calls partner). May the Lord deliver them from the bondage of the flesh, delusion, and sin!
Love and hugs in Christ Jesus! And better yet PRAYER lifted to the Creator God who can change hearts, deliver, and give new life!
Velvet, Joining with you in prayer for LB’s daughter and friend.
Thank you Margot.🙏💕
Thank you so much for your prayers VelvetStitching. My husband and I are grateful that she desires to be in relationship with us despite our differences in opinion. We are grappling with what to do when they decide to get married and (somehow) have kids. Our prayers are continually for her and her girlfriend, and I believe change can happen. How wonderful that would be! We are hopeful in Christ, but at this moment, it feels rather dark.
I understand - I have seen this scenario played out several times with very close friends in our lives. It breaks my heart - their kids are like my own! I am praying - fervently!
And now I add a prayer request to you - I just got word my beloved brother had a stroke! Please pray for the medical team caring for him. I live 1600 miles away and care for our elderly mother. I cannot leave.
But God has him in his care. His name is Gregg. Thank you - any and all brethren who see this and PRAY! God answers and God can do the impossble things! 🙏🏼❤️
Praying for your brother’s healing and for you and your mother’s comfort. 🙏
Ditto!
Oh my goodness! Praying now for Gregg, for wisdom and expertise in his care, and for complete healing. And for comfort and peace for you and his family.🙏💕
Thank you so much!
Continuing to pray. How is he today?
Our greatest tool in such cases is Inspiration. BEING the happiest healthiest most authentic versions of ourselves is the only thing that garners real results amongst confused family, friends and society.
Our greatest tool is prayer and God Jeffrey.
What Jeffrey describes is, I believe, manifestations of the fruit of the spirit, shown by believers. They are a result of, not a cause of, receiving God's free grace.
Our Loving Common Father's most ardent wish is for His Children to be happy in the truest most inspiring sense of the word. 'Prayer' is action on many levels.
Of course it is. That goes without saying.
I just wanted to give you encouragement to persevere in prayer (I know you will!) for your daughter. I have two siblings who were in same sex relationships earlier in their lives, but have left the "lifestyle." My brother is now married with a child. 💗
Thank you for sharing this with me. Each story of changed lives fills me with hope, especially when doubts try to push their way in.🙏💕
Persevere in hope! There were times that, if you would have presented me with a future for my brother that looks like his life now, I wouldn't have thought it possible. 💗
Praying for you 🙏🙏🙏 It is definitely hard when a beloved family member is involved.
Thank you so much RL🙏💕
The Bible, its message, and our God, are the same today as they were yesterday, and will be tomorrow.
Tell that, gently but firmly, to your proud daughter.
My husband and I know there will be more conversation(s) with her in our future. We are praying for wisdom with timing and words so that our relationship with her remains intact and the lines of communication remain open.🙏
Lovingly firm: Blessings to your forthcoming efforts!
LB, I will put your daughter and your family on my daily prayer list. Sending a hug.
me too
Lifting you and yours up, LB. Just sent up a word to the Saviour. 💕
Thank you so much Marlene.🙏💕
LB , you're not random, and I will add you and your family to my list.
The final attack is on Marriage's and Families.
Keep Practicing the Faith, and let Jesus speak to her heart.🙏🙏
Thank you so much Tony. My husband and I have been so blessed by all the kind responses and offers of prayer.🙏💕
Praying!
They believe in a different Jesus of their own making… Not judging—I’m in the same boat with my daughter who thinks she is a gay man…. I will pray for your daughter LB.
Thank you Michelle. Praying for your daughter as well.🙏💕
You are not alone. Count on our prayers.
Thank you so much Mo.🙏💕
Thank you, everyone, for your kind words and your prayers.🥹🙏💕
If it makes you feel any better, the Torah makes it clear that a man cannot lay with a man as he does a woman, but does not say anything about 2 women.
Gender is in all things. It is more than sexuality on the physical plane. Two same sex individuals can embody the Masculine and Feminine principles of Gender. And do.
Masculine and Feminine principles are present and active in all phenomena—physical, mental, and spiritual—not just in biological organisms. These principles are universal forces involved in creation, production, and generation.
Masculine: Directive, initiatory, projective, associated with will, consciousness, and the “sending forth” of energy or ideas.
Feminine: Receptive, generative, formative; it receives the masculine impulse and actualizes it into form or reality.
Both are necessary for creation; neither is superior. Everything contains both in varying degrees and balances.
Two weeks ago, at work, ( hospital) someone anonymously left a company sponsored sign up sheet proclaiming the Spokane pride parade and asking for volunteers for various booths and responsibilities. It was prominently posted. To date, not one single person in my department has signed up.
This last Sunday was Feast of the Holy Trinity in the Catholic Church. Come, Holy Spirit, come. Now, upcoming this next Sunday is Feast of Corpus Christi (Latin for Body of Christ). After Mass, we will proceed through streets & neighborhoods behind our clergy proclaiming the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. This will happen in a deep blue PNW city.
Yes, I’m very excited to participate in my Parish’s Feast of Corpus Christi procession.
We will be doing the same in High Springs.
Praise God 👍🙏
Wow that’s encouraging! Especially in a blue state!
The feast day is actually this Thursday, but we’ll celebrate Sunday so more can attend. This is happening all over the world with millions of Catholics. Each region celebrates w/ their own cultural flavor, and has been an annual thing since the 13th century. The loudest and most colorful processions will be in Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe.
Anyone remember when we had The March for Jesus here in the Southern Swamp?
Seeing folks come out from the shops on University Ave was a trip. There were folks from every denomination and We were One in Spirit.
We might not agree on everything, but we can agree on about 80% of the main doctrine.
Jesus sweat Blood that We would be One.
Let's be One on the Battlefield 👍🙏
Viva Cristo Rey
Connecting pride month to the deadly sin was brilliant. Also, for the proclamations, resolutions, etc to define the family by including children whether biological, adopted, fostered was equally so.
It is the yin and yang of the Male + Female that makes a safe, yet encouraging place to place adopted and fostered children. That if the Man is not emasculated to terribly by society, and the woman of the home.
And pride is "Numero Uno" in the Official List of Seven Deadly Sins!! https://www.britannica.com/topic/seven-deadly-sins
It also is mentioned in Holy Writ as "going before a fall".....PRAISE YAHWEH that the inglorious 'pride month' in our present day world is FALLING big time!
Phoenix Pride, here in Phoenix, AZ filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy at the end of May. Thank God for his mercy for our nation!
Yes!! 😁 Bankrupt in terms of funding as well as morals 😛
YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
There is the proof that the Grift of the LEFT was using and funding their constituencies to further their attack on society and the nuclear family. I feel for the Gay community, and I have heard from some that they never sought all the other Bullshit that co-opted their quest for partnership rights\via marriage, which of course was used as the Trojan Horse that unleashed the WOKE!
Woohoo!!
Personally, I think gender neutral bathrooms are fine...just as long as there is only one toilet, a sink and a lock on the door. And if corporations like Target want to install multiple restrooms to accommodate use by one person at a time (either sex, of course), why that's just fine with me!
I get it…but I hate them. Men are messy and I don’t want to share my toilet w them 🤷♀️.
I agree! I have two sons and I refuse to share a bathroom with them. 😂
@Nard- women are worse. Trust me on that one.
I disagree. That’s not been my experience but I can conceive that this may not be the case for everyone else.
Not in my world, but I can understand that others may have different experiences;).
...I have to relate a story from 1995 at the Oakland coliseum for a Raiders-Steelers game. I'm in the men's room which was a mess like I have never seen (pre kick-off) and a group of hells angels comes in with their girls. Waiting for a stall I ask them why would you bring your women into this cesspool? One of them said 'Would you like to see the inside of the womens bathroom?" His girl said "It's twice as bad as this is!"
...I took her word for it.
Ask any janitor which rest rooms are the nessiest, and take the longest time to clean.
Hint: It's not the men's rooms.
Messy is different than dirty…my feet don’t stick to the women’s bathroom floors…
My female friends have always told me that female public bathrooms are more "messy" and offensive than men's. One friend would insist on using the men's bathroom and make me stand guard outside the door.
Interesting. That has NOT been my experience...unless a mom brings in her toddler son who “misses” 🤣.
The pee on the seat!!!!~
Same!
Nope. Give them an inch and they WILL DEMAND a mile. Nope. Nope. Nope. Use your correct bathroom. Period.
I dislike sharing a restroom at all, so I am not really bothered by the single person ones.
Oh I am with you!!! I prefer single person BUT don’t label them for gender neutral crap. Just call them a bathroom. 🤦🏼♀️ I dislike the use of their agenda words to describe what any person can use.
Yes I can agree with that part for sure!
Used to just be called Unisex bathrooms back in the day. First time I saw a bathroom labeled ‘All Gender’ was at BJ’s restaurant I believe.
I agree, Sunny...I would anticipate that "prideful" corporate and governmental entities would surrender to economic forces when instead of two bathrooms, they are forced to install multiple bathrooms to accommodate single person usage.
Thanks, God.
Does this means I can love rainbows again?
Yes, we need to take the rainbow back! Firmly. Noisily and with joy, not anger.
Not to mention the perfectly wonderful word, 'gay'
I have always liked the word queer.... means odd, unusual or unlikely!
I want it back, too!
Agree!
Yes. I believe the Flintstones’ theme song featured “we’ll have a gay old time!”
I miss using it proper. But the past 20 years reprogrammed everybody to think and hear it only one way 😭
Agreed. Lovely word, nasty connotation now.
The rainbow was stolen from the children and the hippies and turned from a spectacular display of sun and water in the sky to the logo of perverts. Reclaim the rainbow!!
I used to have a 1963, and a 1975 VW Beetle and of course you had to get a little rainbow in the back window. It was a different time, and I was pissed when They highjacked the rainbow.
The enemy doesn't have an original idea of its own.
Maybe Lying, seeing its the father of all lies.
I will always enjoy the rainbow and remember God's Promise.
Wisdom 13:1-9 is good to ponder on.
Viva Cristo Rey
I had a bug with a rainbow too back in the 80’s. And my son’s nursery was Noah’s ark and rainbows! Lol how times have changed.
The funding drying up for the pride parades and events seems to be yet another example of the left wanting everyone else to pay for their pet projects. Why aren’t they stepping up to fund them on their own if they think these events are so important? 🤔
Now that Trump's team have shut off the NGO and USAID spigots, the Alphabet People may be bankrupt. Pity, that.
Getting out all of my tiniest violins 😛
Morning!☀️
This is perfect timing as my coffee is ready!
Same 😁
Woot! Kim for the win! 😊
Happy sunny Tuesday friends! ☀️🌼
Sunny here too! 😊☀️
Good morning Kim!! Happy Tuesday! 😊
