Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which He will bring about at the proper time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal might! Amen.

— 1 Timothy 6:12-16 LSB

This is a most splendid holding forth. It signals that Christian Faith is not a Faith the exists for the sole purpose of making our lives easy, safe, effortless. Out of being dashed against the Rock of Ages (inclusive of Adversity) for All Ages further signifies that there is a Supreme Imperium which compels us to choose between right and wrong, God's Laws or Man's Whims, or else do the bidding of Satan and thereby suffer the unhappy consequences.

Would that Man choose wisely that He not run to extinction.

Yes. The moral equivalency of Satan is very prevalent in our age and many are sucked in, believing it is the way of peace.

I'm sort of there. My response to the ever-increasing evil is "whatever." By that, I DO NOT mean that I don't care and I am not doing what I can to fight the evil, but what ultimately happens to me, or anyone else, is not within my control. I have to trust God to bring me through it and make a choice not to worry.

The congregations of America need to start responding not only as individuals but a the church militant with their feet firmly planted in God's law and their heads fully covered with the helmet of salvation. It's time to pick up the sword of God and engage the enemy in our nation. This is going to require a "new generation" of church leadership as the existing leadership of the church has, by and large, been co-opted by the enemy along with the rest of the culture.

I don’t agree Anne. Patriots and the wise and awake must get busy and unite peacefully. Millions across the world detest the Deep State, and we must find a way to unite together and oppose our fate. Read Alexander Durgin’s book “The Great Awakening vs. The Great Reser.” It’s been banned but available at the publisher’s site for $4.95. The site is Arktos.com.

I agree, Great Reflect, and I don't believe what I wrote is opposed to what you wrote. I'm not in favor of giving in, but I am having a hard time finding others who want to fight the evil. I seem to be among a group of people who are more interested in being comfortable. For me, it's a matter of coming to terms with the fact that things might get really bad. For instance, I used to worry about the government taking our money. Now I have accepted that they probably will at some point, so I am buying whatever I want or need, within reason, as well as donating to charities or individuals who need help. Since the terror attack in Israel I have decided I need to learn how to use a gun. My husband has been encouraging me to do so for a long time. I still don't really want to, but it seems prudent during this crazy time. We've certainly got thousands of terrorists in our own country and it's only a matter of time until they attack.

Thank you Jeff for the Michigan electors update and explanation. I believe the idea is to frighten anyone from questioning anything about the 2020 election or any going forward. As my wise pastor stated months ago, everything will be fought in court. Even if the case is ridiculous the state will bring charges knowing that most defendants do not have the wherewithal to fight a state who uses taxpayer money to prosecute their own taxpayers. What does a corrupt state government have to lose? Until these corrupt state AG’s are somehow held accountable, they will with impunity come up with these unproven charges and slow walk them while this state sinks into anarchy.

LAWFARE - Not that long ago this type of activity would be limited by budgetary constraints.

However that has gone by the boards as there are no longer any budgets. During covid all the blue states went "bankrupt" and were rewarded with the CARES ACT sending billion or trillion$ of printed Federal Reserve money to (shore up?) the blue states finances while the so called RED States were penalized? for running surpluses. When the law of Supply and demand is replaced with Modern Monetary "Theory" the result is the dissolution of Private Property and eventually Civilization...."Budgets?!

Excellent summary! You just wrote a whole book in one paragraph. The Great Divide continues to widen. The blue states are going broke and the Woke Bolshevik Federal Government will increasingly tax the productive red states to support the blue states. At some point, the red states will be forced to divorce themselves from the blue states and the Fed Gov't out of self-preservation. The Fed Gov't will "not allow" this.

In the everyday, I'm thinking about a comeback like, "You don't have the right to disrupt my ordered thought process. I choose to keep order in my thoughts. If me keeping my thoughts ordered hurts your feelings, then I will be forced to discount you from my thoughts altogether." Then look past them or through them as if they aren't there, and for Pete's sake don't engage further.

Have NOT engaging (i.e., ignoring), NOT thinking about another, NOT permitting intrusion on one's being been codified as a hate crime?

Whip out phone with camera. I would think verbal assault (destined to come at some point against the person of ordered thought doing the phone videoing and not responding or engaging - even to the most vile onslaught; remember, the job at hand is to get the hate on video) could be a chargeable offense. At the very least, the video could be posted publicly on the web. It's not like the person of ordered thought is fabricating facts/”facts” and would be liable for slander. The hate might get the post canceled, violating terms of service and all that, but where's the hate coming from?

Why might the daughter be anxious? Her dad is pretending to be a woman and her mom is pretending to be married to a woman. I claim this kind of behavior by adults is child abuse. Change my mind. Oh, and I do feel sorry for my friend, because she’s in assisted living and her son is her only child. If she alienates him by refusing to play along, she faces some serious estrangement issues.

A few months ago my husband and I were in Home Depot and here comes a guy dressed in a tank top, short skirt, leggings and ballet slippers. No doubt that this was a man. The terribly sad thing about this was that he had three young children with him. I heard him say something to them about their mother, so I assumed this was a situation where this man had abandoned his marriage in order to live his fantasy. Can you imagine having a custody situation where you had to turn over your children to that?? And even that is not nearly as bad as the new custody issue when parents disagree about a child's gender transition.

Expand full comment

Yes, it’s terribly hard, embarrassing and confusing for children. At my Mom’s church there is a man pretending to be a woman, and he dresses like a hooker as many such seem to do. He has two sons, 10 and 12, and makes them refer to him as their “mother.” When their dad is in the room, these two young boys keep their eyes cast down, and the only word I can find for how they look is “hunted.” It’s abuse, plain and simple.

Yes, it seems to me that most of these men dress like hookers/ drag queens in everyday situations. Why no sweats and ponytail with no makeup at the grocery? Perhaps attention….

Expand full comment

How they dress just proves how profoundly sexist the whole trans thing is. Because exactly as you say, they never decided to 'change' their gender so they could wear sweats, or jeans, or work boots, like bazillions of real women do every day. No, they want to wear only the most stereotypically 'feminine' clothes, pounds of makeup, and have hair that is styled, every day. Woman = two-inch eyelashes and laquered 4-inch nails.

The trans thing has set basic feminism back by decades, with Millennial parents now figuring if their girl child likes to run and climb trees, she's really a he, and if their boy child likes the color pink, he's really a she. It's never about something as simple as--oh, look, my little athlete, or oh look, my little artist. It just shows you how stupid and insecure and brainwashed so many of the parents are, as well.

Expand full comment

Attention I think. It’s an exaggerated parody of women. I’ve read where it can be tied up with the man’s feelings and urges toward women, especially if he feels rejected by them. He can just be one. As well, if he hates women subliminally he can “be” one and then attack them in restrooms and beat them at their sports.

What seems odd to me is that men who claim they are women want to dress up in a garish way to look like hookers or at least like caricatures of what they think women are. In other words, transvestites by any other name....

The odd thing is that even secular Woke UK Establishment Creep Rishi Sunak said the other day, 'Don't let them bully you into thing anything other that a man is a man, and a woman is a woman and nothing else' (words to that effect). Jeff's thing on grammar today was nail hit on the head stuff.

Sorry Becky, I just have had enough of Loony World and brim over!

My goodness, what kind of "church" is this?? I wish adults would grow up and do what is best for their children!!

United Methodist. I’m not up on what all churches promote or reject, but you can bet if any do reject the trans fantasy they will be attacked as haters.

This precisely the reason why I think that the West will fall completely. And nothing can stop it long term save a reinstatement of God Laws/Commandments ... absent which there is insanity. And insanity is not a viable business model.

I am totally horrified by 'tank top, short shirt, leggings and ballet slippers' ... the the crowning capital of three children in tow. My God! Simply aghast.

Oh my. that poor child stuck living in that house. What a mess.

in times past that would be considered "child abuse"... Oh how "enlightened" we have become! What do you expect from people who will abort a nine month baby by calling it a "fetus"?

Or a “product of conception”

Pity is there are couples that would love to adopt an infant and they have to resort to foreign countries for such an opportunity!

How does one (or both, or all of 'em) detect that they is a pansexual? Do the earlobes grow, or facial hair sprout boldly where it has never grown before?

Good question. My feeling is that these kids are hearing the various terms bandied about in school and social media and parades and whatnot, and just pick one to be trendy.

Expand full comment

Trendy: Very likely. Certainly defines the level of thinking these kids can handle. Now, teachers' unions, tell me again why they should be making their own decisions on mutilating surgeries.

That's exactly what it is, it'sa social contagion. It's heavily promoted on TikTok and in the piblic schools. I live in a tiny, very rural, very RED Texas town. I've heard from a friend who says that most (80% or so) of the kids in elementary or jr high "identify" as gay, lesbian, bi or pansexual (I'm sure there's a few "trans", too). Being "straight" just isn't "cool". The girl that told my friend this is 11 years old and claims she's bi. I wish my friend had asked her just how many sex partners she's had to determine her "preference". 🤷‍♀️

I am learning that not engaging is the best way to stay true to our beliefs! Good thinking!

Seems a good solution until you re-read the great commission.

The whole preferred pronoun nonsense is meant to divide. And it's working. How sad it is that you now can't have a conversation with your friend about her daughter. Children are usually easy topics of discussion between friends. Of course, I don't know how close of a friend she is to you. If she's a close friend, I would be honest with her. Gentle but honest.

Maybe refer to her child as simply 'your child'. Nothing anti woke in that!

But if she does bring it up maybe say something like, "I'm sorry, I just cannot legitimize mental illness as sanity." And as I always say to De Wife, "These Wokie Nut Jobs always say whatever they damn well please and expect us to choke it down in silence. What about us? Don't we count?"

You could consider, "How is your daughter?" And then go quiet. You get to show that you care for your friend and her (uh, oh...) daughter but still can avoid the they trap.

You could give her a mood ring. One can have many moods but one is only one person, even if s/he has multiple personalities. ;)

New acronym? OPMPs / phonetically: Oh pee em pees / One Person Multiple Personalities. If you say it fast enough, the last two syLAHbles sound a lot like "empty". Hm.

I might just start dropping that one in appropriate conversations. Surely met with: What? What did you say? Me: OPMPs: One Person Multiple Personalities. I thought that's what they were called. 😉 I read it on the internet (like it was common knowledge. ...Oh I make myself laugh... 😂😅)

That already has a diagnosis and a name. It's called schizophrenic. 🤷‍♀️

By whatever name it spells mental illness fer shur.

so sad - to even have to think about not being anti woke

And mentally ill person or confused individual would be the correct pronouns to use to those people.

Expand full comment

I'm not that polite although I probably should be if they are genuinely mentally ill and not just being obnoxious. "Nutcase" or "lunatic" comes to mind.

I work (in a pharmacy) with a girl that wants to be a they them. The only time I ever use a pronoun is when referring to her to a customer (often an older person who would be confused). I never use the they them and have spoken with her about my non use of her preferreds. She honestly doesn’t care (to my face anyway) but I also make sure to never show my ass to her so as not to be turned in to management as many of the feelings people like to do. We had another OBVIOUSLY male store employee (not back in RX dept) who wanted to be she/her and I refused but also didn’t work directly with the creepy bastard. He got fired for never coming to work (normally not a fireable event these days) AND sexually harassing some other actual female employees. 🙄. Go figure.

She probably makes crying videos about you wanting her to "not exist" and posts them on behavior. 😕 I honestly think it's ALL attention seeking behaviour.

Confused, yes.

In my mind, ‘they’ is referencing a multiple personality disorder.

sort of like the demoniac who when asked his name said "legion"

Legion sounds Iike a good word to use instead of "they".

I am watching 'Billions' on Amazon Prime and there is a young non binary working in the company. Every time she was referred to as they I thought that a group was being referred to. It simply does not work. 'IT' would be much more appropriate, though still confusing.

My take: What nonsense!

I started watching a series on Hulu. It was pretty good. Then they started using “they” for a single character. I was confused. I did figure it out, however, 1) it ruined the experience & 2) no work was laided for this. I can’t imagine w he at it will be like in a courtroom.
