I wonder why drag queens never want to read to people in old age homes?

Too true. I don't see children asking for them. Even clowns - back in the day lots of my friends didn't want them and were creeped out by them.

I work in elementary school. The kids hate clowns. The face paint scares them. Clown jokes and antics are and always were for adults.

We miss this great point. So right. The birthday parties, with clowns and adult level humor and silliness, is not understood by a 7 year old. I wonder, with anguish what the young survivors of these past several years will find out about themselves in the years and months, ahead School administrators and yes, the paid perverts……just thinking about them and what they are getting away with, makes me sick Like those who apply for jobs where they can wear uniforms, and control others, many who apply to be around children have their own sick reasons for doing so…..i was twice a Big Sister for two different 12 yr old girls, a rich time of friendship. Wish I could have done more. I wouldn’t take on that now.

The media appeared to run a campaign guaranteed to cause children to be terrified of clowns, starting about three decades ago. They did it with dolls too.

Drag Queens are very clownish so I would think parents have to work very hard to sell their children on the idea of being around them.

Probably requires series bribes. These are some sicko parents in desperate need of virtue signaling points.

I too was terrified of clowns … I was little but they were towering over little ones at the circus and in your face. Here’s the thing though. They are covering their faces with make up and significantly altering their appearance not dissimilar to wearing a mask I suppose. Kind of a cowardly way to scare the hec out of anyone let alone children all the while insisting it’s entertainment. It’s show biz zare.

We’ve reached a tipping point where reality is going to abruptly shift for the worse if we continue to do nothing. The fulcrum of this tipping point is the control the elites now have over the minds of the children. While parents were going through their day to day, oblivious, Common Core and CRT – rotting cancers of mass manipulation – have overrun the schools and have been planting tangled dark jungles of subversive dysfunction directly into their kids' defenseless minds. The following is from 2013. It is faaar worse now:

https://youtu.be/FSHoxWaVeto [11mins]

That ^ is called abusive emotional learning. It deliberately dis-empowers the student and shifts their mind into a victim mentality. Rather than empowering and teaching them to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, it instead instructs them that they are the victims of an oppressive system, and as a result there is no reason to even try to succeed - and every reason to lie, defraud, and manipulate the "unfair" system to their advantage. They want dependent slaves.

It is even worse than that. If we go with the hypothesis that they've been up to this in a stealth Trojan Horse way for decades, a lot of things make sense. 1986, no liability for vaccines, then later No Child Left Behind and standardized testing, which made teachers have to teach to the test AND got rid of recess, which is crucial for development and sensory integration, AND stopped using phonics, which creates literacy and replaced it with whole language, which doesn't work to teach literacy. Then the secret social media algorithm change in 2014 as described by Jaron Lanier. Then, even in preschool, the gender thing, and no playing, which is vital. Now, check out the Whole Child Design creepoid WEF disgusting plan, which Jordan Peterson was retweeting. Who "designs" children? This is pedophilia and transhumanism.

Which is why I laugh when people wring their hands about parents homeschooling their children not teaching them enough 🙄 Clearly the abject failure of so many public schools to educate children in the absolute basics doesn’t dissuade these same people from supporting public schools and wanting to throw larger and larger amounts of money at them 🙄 For outcomes that end up not being any better.

Most old people were raised in church and have higher morals and ethics than non believers. Most children today are not raised with any beliefs except the world revolves around them.

I like to apply the “what would Martians think if they popped down for a visit” rule. As in, looked at separately and objectively from any sort of ideology or cultural influence, what would another being think of the situation? I applied it frequently during the pandemic. And every single time, the answer is that it’s ALL KINDS of messed up. There is absolutely no justification for drag performers reading to children. None. And you don’t have to be a Martian to see it!

They're pedophiles.

Expand full comment

Been saying it for years. The entire gender theory / queer theory academic discipline from which all this stems is nothing more than an elaborate attempt by perverted academics to justify their perversion. The guy who was at the center of it all was a famous "public intellectual" and professor named Michel Foucault. He was an open pedophile. His friends knew this and even wrote about it after he had died. The entire theory is nothing more than him trying to justify why it's okay to be a pedophile (not unlike Marxism being nothing more than Marx's attempt to justify his lifelong laziness and grift of family). And now, 50 years later, it's being mainstreamed.

I think so now too. It public fetish-ism that they want accepted.

Expand full comment

I mean a couple things come to mind: 1) they're usually young, college-aged kids who don't have any life experience outside of school, do exactly what their teachers tell them to do, and quite literally cannot think for themselves. They also don't have children of their own, so they have no idea how these things work. 2) the ones who are older are mentally ill. In a lot of cases, that's kind of obvious via their affect and demeanor, but I believe even the stats from studies done have shown this. Leftists tend to have more, and deeper, psychological issues.

But, we now have a mainstream media, mainstream governmental agencies, and large corporations, suddenly, almost out of nowhere, pushing this obscure 1970s academic "theory" from Humanities sub-disciplines that no one ever took seriously. Wonder why that is. The theories are organic in nature, but the recent ascent of those theories into the mainstream, public realm does not seem to be organic.

It's weird, right? Trans activists also seem to go into teaching elementary school WAY more often than just about any other occupation.

Maybe even guided in that direction.

I am of the consenting adults old school of liberalism for adults, and North Beach and the Castro in San Francisco were full of entertainers and people living alternative lifestyles, and my feeling was "whatever," however this trans agenda and child mutilation and DIE education is something utterly different.

"But as Christians the Bible requires that we be nice to others" or so I've been told. As far as I can tell the bible never uses the word nice a single time. It's speaks of being kind, not nice.

Nice is a veneer such as speaking in a pleasant friendly voice or being reassuring with a smile. Kind is treating others as we would like to be treated. If I was making a terrible life-altering mistake would I want others to tell me the truth or be "nice"? I'd want the truth and in fact I got the truth from some not very "nice" people back in my twenties. It got me off the road to ruin. I'm grateful for it to this day.

Was God "nice" when He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah? Was Jesus nice when He called the Pharisees vipers? Or overturned the moneychanger's tables?

Don't let the world (which hates Christianity) define our morality for us. They sneer at us and think we are fools but we listen to their definition of what Jesus would want? Read the bible, it plainly describes what God wants and it isn't what the world preaches.

Our adversaries have promoted as New Testament doctrine a narrative of Unconditional Love and in doing so have abused 'Love they neighbor.' This is heretical doctrine. You cannot love thy neighbor by overturning God's moral law order. Thus Romans 13 wherein the magistrate is to be a terror to evil doers.

The adversary in this has performed his usual trick of bait and switch. Bait with quotes of Scripture (which they hate) out of context and then somewhere switch with the insertion of evil under cover of some presumed good ... like 'tolerance'. Like we should tolerate Drag Queens as some equally valid life style and somehow this is some kind of Christian charity or whatever. In this way, God's moral law is tossed out the window. And what is so sad is that most of the churches have fallen for this stuff ... and have been transformed into enablers of evil.

I hope you are wrong that most churches have fallen for this stuff though certainly many have. I've attended fiercely biblical churches for thirty years (primarily Calvary Chapel) and have really not seen any of it. Completely agree though that mainline Prot denominations like the ELCA, PC(USA), and UMC are fully bought into this stuff and likely a lost cause (though with God all things are possible).

The Catholic hierarchy seems hopelessly lost too aside from a few renegade bishops (who will never be promoted beyond their current positions). I'm not RC though I was raised in it. Curious how the local parish priests are holding up or if they are being lost to this stuff too.

You are correct, the Catholic hierarchy is lost in this mess except for a few good bishops and priests.

Jeff ... it is a strange world now in Christendom. I agree with what you are saying. The obvious examples of fallen churches/synagogues of Satan are the conspicuously 'social justice/equity' churches. But the less obvious churches are the ones that operate by sins of omission. I won't go into all of that right here. However, I'll give you an indication of what I mean. That is, we attended a rural Baptist church many years ago for maybe four years or so, and NOT ONCE did we study from the Baptist Confession of Faith. Never! Only some watered down Life Way study guide material. And ZERO teaching of Church History. Both De Wife and I are now shocked at what churches don't teach. And it has been a dumbing down attack one after another on Christianity since at least the 19th century.

@Jeff Agreed.

We are called to be both salt and light, truth and love/‘kindly honest’.

We cannot say that we follow Yeshua, our Messiah, without following and ‘teaching all that He commanded’. Many will make false or inaccurate statements saying that God is ‘love’ (only) or that God is truth (only), but He is BOTH equally. He cannot be one without the other. It’s why He is the perfect Father.

There are many ‘doctrinally illiterate’ people (I was one of them) who claim to ‘dislike the God of the Old Testament’ which is a heretical, to say the least. Why? Because He is the same God in the TaNAKh, as in the New Covenant. Same book--different sections.

He is the same ONE--the same today, yesterday and eternally--God, the Father, His Son, our Messiah, and Spirit, Helper/Advocate, they are ECHAD (one). The Son (Yeshua/Jesus) and Spirit always do the will of the Father because they are ECHAD--therefore, if we claim to follow after Yeshua, as true disciples, then we must also imitate Him and be salt and light!

When we present truth, it must be done with love, joy, shalom, patience, goodness, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control. We are called to love others as ourselves-treat them with respect even when you disagree with them. I had to learn all of this the hard way. I also learned that when I speak from a place of faith, and not from a place of doubt/fear, I will consistently do to others what I would want others to do to me. Yeshua/Jesus said it best:

‘ Always treat others as you would like them to treat you; that sums up the teaching of the Torah and the Prophets.’ (Yeshua)

The Bible talks about brotherly love. There is a sense that being kind to someone can be said to show them brotherly love. I read this: “It is a kind of love that does for another what is truly best for that person rather than what will make that person happy. It is a love that looks beyond present circumstances toward the ultimate realization of the act, primarily toward the effect of our own behavior.

It is not just a love that, out of concern, gives to somebody to plug a gap and that only. It is a type of love done with a great deal of thought, in which a person thinks through the effects and consequences of his actions to their ultimate end.

Therefore, the result is that he does good for the other person whether that person likes it or not.” I think that is very thought provoking.

Jesus was being nice by telling the truth out of love not vengeance and not wanting us to die in our sins.

It’s just not what the people wanted to hear so he had to turn up the heat, so to speak.

Or encourage an anorexic to eat less and affirm the “beauty” of their sickly and emaciated body 😞

As a former anorexic, this example really resonates with me. I truly understand the concept of body dysmorphia. At my worst, I thought excising the flesh of my inner thighs and upper arms so as to prevent them from touching my body would make me happy. I really thought that would finally give me peace. Fortunately, I received therapy which helped me fix my very distorted thought processes. Why don't we take the same approach with the current manifestation of body dysmorphia?

It’s heartbreaking to see someone in this situation 😢 I’m so very glad you found therapy that helped change your thought processes. God bless you!

What a journey. Thank you for sharing. It isn’t one that many come back from. Out of curiosity which therapy worked?

Straight up talk therapy. The more I reflect back on the experience, I think I was caught up in a form of social contagion (thank goodness there was no social media). It was during the time when there were afterschool specials and "movies of the week" talking about anorexia. Add to that my very dysfunctional homelife and I was ripe for some kind of emotional affliction. I struggled greatly with accepting the need to gain weight while pregnant with my first two kids, but eventually that struggle went away. I think coming to know Christ definitely made a difference too. Now, I hardly think about it, but at one time, it was all I thought about. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

I keep saying the Trans movement is the Anorexia of the 90’s. I have an acquaintance who had anorexia in the 90’s. She’s better, but still is phobic about fats and calories.

It took a while, but I finally got over my phobia associated with food. It has helped to learn about true nutrition and not the FDA food pyramid BS which has made us a nation of fat diabetics.

Some of my former church contacts always emphasized “don’t judge”. “Be tolerant” to which I ask, “would your four year old jump on the piano?” “Do you ask a good singer who is living with his girlfriend, to be the soloist at the next church event?” Ummmm …..sorreeeee! Some things you must be able to judge, a la biblia says so. Amen and amen

Yes, the world loves to omit the "first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye." part. Christ wasn't condemning judgment itself but doing so hypocritically (Matthew 7:3-5).

What is really sad is how many people attend churches and don't understand this. Anyone who has attended a study of the Gospels would know this. Just what is being taught in some churches?

The most important thing to take away from DeSantis twitter announcement is that it bypassed msm/legacy media. Good.

Expand full comment

DeSantis must have been advised that the winner of the election uses the modern form of communication: Clinton did it with late night TV, Obama used social media, Trump used Twitter. The big winner is Elon. Most people didn't know what Twitter Spaces is...and it is very addicting!

I think Ron is a good and godly man. He has the right positions on many, if not most issues. But in my view he is dead wrong about the biggest issue of all: THE WAR. El Donaldo is the only PEACE candidate. AND he has the gravitas, the ego, and the unpredictableness to face the adversaries down. The Art of the Deal indeed

My takeaway was it was taken down by trolls and the RDS campaign (and supporters) actually thinks there's this level of enthusiasm over their candidate making a completely expected announcement. The pre-picked well known questioners was so scripted. Yuck.

Just now had time to read yesterday’s post. Wow.

Your lovingkindness, O Lord, extends to the heavens,

Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;

Your judgments are like a great deep.

O Lord, You preserve man and beast.

How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!

And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.

They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house;

And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights.

For with You is the fountain of life;

In Your light we see light.

O continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,

And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.

Let not the foot of pride come upon me,

And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

— Psalm 36:5-11 NASB1995

I have this silly example of passing prideful thoughts. I am putting quilting onto a quilt. My work is flowing smoothly and I am thinking to myself " You are finally getting good at this. Not a skipped stitch, all your corners and seams are so good." Then I ran over my hair and stitched a wide swath of the hair on the right side of my head to the quilt. God's harmless and very suitable slap to his goofy boastful lamb.

C&C Multipliers remind me of a proposal some years ago: the gist was that whenever the government tries to pick on the little guy, rich conservatives should swoop in and fund his legal challenge or defense. The person who came up with this called it the "Madison Fund" (as in James Madison), although it turns out that name's already taken by an investment firm). The C&C Multipliers basically do the same thing, but with lots of small donations instead of a few rich people.

Not that a few rich people swooping in wouldn't be helpful too...

Same. My friends who are all fully vaxxed are still too traumatized by all the covid deaths and residual injuries (blood clots, long covid, etc) to even consider that the vax is unsafe, let alone ineffective. We can’t even talk about how wrong the mandates were/are; they simply don’t understand how I can think that.

Expand full comment

There certainly is a degree of that. But what I’ve noticed is more of a grammar school level ignoring rather than a teenage level denial. This I suspect being because overt denial would cause the logic centers of the brain to activate and that would lead to “unpleasantness”.

Thus the much more simple reaction: to pretend its not there, and employ various distractions.
