Whoever is wise, let him understand these things;

Whoever is discerning, let him know them.

For the ways of the Lord are right,

And the righteous will walk in them,

But transgressors will stumble in them.

β€” Hosea 14:9 NASB1995

β€œIn a hundred years, they’re going to look back at the law requiring people to use their correct gendered bathroom and wonder what the heck was going on in 2023.”

Let me make sure I understand: they want to impeach and remove Justice Thomas from the court because he has a rich friend but giving family members money of a once sitting VP and now sitting President is a-okay?

I want to emphasize how dangerous trans sanctuary states are for family and parental rights.

I worked as a guardian ad item in the family court and had a case for which this sanctuary state business would be devastating.

Added further comments:

An anecdote from my time as a guardian ad litem:

A young boy (about 8?) was being kept with his mother who refused the father his parenting time. The mother alleged the boy was actually a girl, and the father was denying the child. She claimed abuse based upon the father refusing to affirm and also said the child was scared of the father.

Upon meeting with the child, privately (yes I did this, but would feel very resistant to having my own children privately interviewed), the little boy pleaded with me to tell his mother to please listen to him. He said that he told his mother about a chase game where dad would chase pretending to be scary. He said when he told his mother, she got on the phone right away (making a report) and wouldn't let him see his father. He said he tried to tell her it was a game, but she wouldn't listen, so could I please ask her to listen to him.

My supervisor and training had pointed out a boundary by which GALs are not supposed to share with the parties what the child or other party contributes, because of repercussions to the child for anything the child says. In my prior life I would have met with the parents and opened up the topic, not hidden it, nor reserved it for a court report with massive potential repercussions for the parents who soon after arrive in court not having been supported to work out their own issues and look for their own solutions.

There was no sign of any gender identity issue in this family, not in talking to the boy, to his teachers, to anyone except mom. Mom herself was self identifies nonbinary and felt persecuted herself. This was the first time I had encountered this dynamic of abuse by nonaffirmation, especially with a very young child.

I was fired (thankfully) before the case went to court, because I was asking too many questions and taking too much time on cases. Yes, this was the explanation, but it was expressed as though it were a form of incompetence. This was relieving, as it was a huge ethical quandary to be in an authoritative position in relation to families when my heart questions how Best Interests are being used. I have historically been a teacher/facilitator of alternative education, and the thought of not working WITH families is very foreign to me.

I don't know what the judge decided, but, my state now promotes hiding trans treatment from parents. The sanctuary role is a tool by which children can be separated from otherwise loving parents, one or both, with little evidence, and it is difficult for me to understand why this is not understood. Having seen how family court decisions are often made without adherence to standards of evidence nor due process, I believe this is more a tool of separation and removal of children from their families than a tool to protect children from truly bad parents.

I now have a child barely turned adult who has gone trans, and excommunicated his parents all on his own, and it is very easy for me to personally be shocked by the potential trauma this could have caused to my family were he to have joined up with trans at a younger age.

Added my response to another comment:

I feel conflicted about the role of the GAL. There are very serious issues with the role and its part in the problematic structure of family court itself. Having worked for basically decades supporting families, it is very strange to be restricted by a role whose structure and culture views their every word with suspicion and structurally affirms the value that "neutral third parties", often professionals, have more credibility and weight than parents. Parents are often unaware of their rights and how to navigate the legal system, at great cost to their family. Many GALs, where I am, come from social services backgrounds, like CPS, and so have accepted the culture and methods and ideological paradigms. Different GALs, I believe, might present the same family in very different ways, to very different outcomes. Personal views of the GAL do matter, and can very easily result in recommendations and reporting that supports their views. I could go on and on. So, yes, there are times that an outside perspective can offer much needed insight and address true abuse, but I question the overall balance of the effect this system is having upon children in their families.

β€œIt’s time to remind you that all other vaccines DO prevent transmission.”

False: DTaP is a toxoid vaccine, only prevents symptoms does not suppress the D bacteria, T is not transmissible, and those who receive the aP receive original antigenic sin which is why fully vaccinated schools get B-parapertusis outbreaks. I believe the same goes for the IPV jab as well. Hep-B shot is a boondoggle as well. Never was clear if the rubella vaccine ever worked because symptoms are so non-specific. The defective mumps vaccine may prevent transmission when kids are young but fails to work when they are older and when they don’t want to catch it. Same goes for the worthless measles jab which we seem content with two+ jabs to keep it β€œworking”. Chicken pox vaccine may actually work short term but seems to have been a real great way to up the shingles susceptibility.

Any of you Floridians have room down there for the rest of us or is the state bursting at its seams? You are the only place with sanity anymore!

Good morning Jeff - keep up the great work. BTW, a couple days ago, a 23 ton truckload of contaminated dirt from East Palestine OH rolled over about 4 miles from town whilst headed to the hazardous waste repository. But of course, the official experts are telling us that there is nothing to be concerned with - because Science!

I think each of the previous Reedy Creek board members who pushed through the 11th hour changes in favor of Disney should be prosecuted as well. I like that officials or board members be held responsible if their actions violate the law. Too many , like the soros DAs, get away with ignoring the law. I put them up with gang members and drug dealers. They need to be dealt with.

I wish the sobbing legislator and all democrats had as much apparent β€œlove” for unborn humans. Where’s their humanity? Any legislator who wants to β€œgo around the constitution” should be immediately removed from office in violation of their oath of office. I’m tired of these people swearing an oath with no intention of keeping it.

For all my former and current Michigan co-patriots, tomorrow, the Michigan house appropriations committee is voting on whether to send millions, (in the tune of 85 million) in our tax payer monies to the CCP Gotion battery plant being planned for Mecosta County, next to Big Rapids and Ferris State University. 300 Chinese Nationals are being shipped in to run the place. Word is Ferris State University will close, bought out by the Chinese and become a Chinese β€œeducation” center. A big rally was planned for Saturday, but in true β€œtransparency” style, the appropriations vote was moved to a day ahead. Now that the Dems have taken over the Michigan Legislature, it’s convenient that this is being pushed through.

Regarding trans-mania, I've heard that: Michael Jordan Ends Partnership With Nike

"Our Values No Longer Align" I'm not finding good sources to verify this, however.

This is off topic, but a question that has been nagging at me for a couple of days.

If Fox is held accountable for "lies" relating to voting machines, is there a legal theory that can be used to bring a massive class action lawsuit against CNN, NBC, NPR, Twitter, Facebook, etc... for the lies they intentionally told, and truths intentionally withheld, to allow Biden to get installed as POTUS? If 17% of voters say they would have voted for Trump had they been allowed to know the truth about Hunter's laptop, that seems to me to be a starting point. The injuries - economic, medical, psychological - tens of millions have suffered as a DIRECT result of their lies would be in the trillions of dollars.

For the record, ALL commercial nuclear power plants contain β€œsensitive nuclear technology.” It is complicated, but it is the law. FWIT, Unit 5 of Ukraine’s Zaporozhye nuclear plant was fully loaded with Westinghouse fuel in 2019. The fuel came from a Westinghouse facility in Sweden that was owned by the Japanese company, Toshiba. The plant technology is from Russia. This is a game of semantics, nothing more. A distraction.

Florida Passes Bill Enacting Death Penalty for Sexual Abusers of Children

...β€œMy view is, you have some of these people that will be serial rapists of six, seven-year-old kids,” said DeSantis in an interview on β€œGood Morning Orlando” on Monday. β€œI think the death penalty is the only appropriate punishment when you have situations like that.”...

The new real Democratic party is a Bolshevik regime that has taken the gloves off. The whole idea of life-long professional politicians is anathema to American liberty and should be outlawed by term limits.
