Re: Resisting ESG. My employer is woke. Was on the extreme anti-orange man side of things. They hired one of those scam diversity training consultants to preach to us. I used content from her own website and social media posts (explicit stuff like "white patriarchy is oppressive and the cause of all suffering") to explain to my manager that her values were not consistent with my personal beliefs or values and I would therefore prefer not to participate in the sessions. Because he and the corp leadership actually have no spine and weren't prepared for dissent, he just allowed me not to attend. No explicit repercussions, but most of my co-workers know generally what I believe (I'm a conservative Christian) so there's a bit of a stigma. I also successfully requested and was granted a religious exemption from covid jab mandates by my employer. It's not easy, but it's worth it.

I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum...I work for an anti-woke organization and have two very woke employees who interact with kids and are pushing the trans agenda. This is in direct contradiction to our belief statement. It’s going to be an interesting year supervising these two. If the don’t change their ways, they may find themselves on their way out. 🙏🙏 for transformation!

Sit down with them and ask them if they really understand the depth of the trans agenda and what the horrific surgeries do to mutilate perfectly healthy children and teens, along with the debilitating effects of puberty blockers. Show them the videos and stories of people pushed to transition when no one bothered to ask what their feelings were. Now their health is ruined and they have a shortened life span. Forget about functioning as the “new” man or woman they were told they would become. Show them the articles of the likes of the Vanderbilt clinic (https://tennesseestar.com/the-tennessee-star/vanderbilts-gender-clinic-doctor-trans-surgeries-make-money-for-the-hospital/sberry/2022/09/21/) that this is a huge profit maker because they will be undergoing surgeries the rest of their shortened lives!! And last but not least, show them the pictures of the mutilations. What they do to a girl/woman to give her a pretend penis and the huge scars from removing their breasts. Show them the scars that will never go away. Most, if not all of these woke folks, have never seen what really happens to these people! Show them the men/boys who are cut from their hips across their stomach to their thighs to get their pretend vagina. They can no longer urinate properly. Have infections all the time. It’s the dirty little secret that is never disclosed to these people brainwashed to transition and the morons thinking they are doing someone a favor by pushing them into it. If companies have the right to indoctrinate people with the woke agenda, then the moral companies can show them the truth.

I just went through this with one of the few liberal friends I have left. She said she could not understand my bud light boycott post and said it was hateful to gay people. I shared the Chloe Cole story. the Wash U whistleblower story, a story that 1 in 10 kids in one district in PA are now identifying as non binary, info on Gays Against Groomers who are totally against this transgender narrative, the interview with a children's hospital doctor by Christopher Rufo saying this is ruining lives, and the interview with the woman who pioneered the use of puberty blockers who now says she was wrong and it should be stopped. Nothing, nada. She just said, oh you can always find a story to support your point of view, but that does not mean I will ever agree with you. She got the shot a few weeks after she had covid (although she did use the zelenko protocol I gave her) saying 'oh that will protect me against new variants' and nothing I could say could convince her otherwise. She has cancelled plans on my 3 times in the past several months as she is always sick with something. Willful blindness IS a thing.

I also call it “intentional ignorance.” We had several friends who got the first jab, got sick, called us and we said stop and take the supplements that were known to fight this virus, then they would call over and over as if they couldn’t control a thing they did. Get a jab, get sick, call about how sick they were, post it on facebook that they got the jab for their fix, then follow the cycle all over again. They are now very debilitated and we even told them that was part of the jabs, but they have lost all common sense. Its obvious these jabs are also warping their thinking as well. My husbands family did the very same thing! They even had the virus and got over it and still took the jabs. The one brother and his wife took the supplements we take and was over it in under a week when we learned they had it and we took them the supplements!! Talk about dense! Their excuse was they wanted to travel and then their twenty year old sons also took it. That would be the day I would inject myself with something like that just to travel.

I believe these kids pretending to be binary are lost souls who are finding this demented way of life comforting and something to belong to no matter how insane it is. Too many parents allow their kids too much freedom on social media with no regard for the sick influences on them, and too many parents think that allowing this is helping them when it is making them mentally ill with these ideas. They don’t make the time to have constructive activities for their kids because they are too consumed with their lives. We had tight reigns on our sons when it came to social media and occupied their time with lots of constructive activities with us, sports that we attended, and all kinds of outdoor activities. We instilled a strong faith in them and all went to church together. Before our church went astray we were all very active together and an integral part of the functions of the church and the services. They have very strong conservative beliefs to this day and have even guided many of their friends. When some of their friends needed an adult to speak to they would bring them to me for guidance if they felt that was what they needed. It’s amazing how many parents just won’t find the time for them for the important things! My time with them is my greatest treasure to this day and now they are in their thirties. Many of their friends still keep in touch with us, stop over with their families or call to say hello. These are the riches of life in my opinion. We have an open door policy that any of them are welcome at any of our picnics or gatherings that we have for all the holidays.

Oh I agree about the social media influence on the mental illness issues, and a lot of this gender stuff is really a cry for help. We limited screen time to an hour a day during the week and 2 hours a day on the weekends until they got to HS age and by then they were busy with school, jobs, activities and such, and most kids did not have smart phones yet when they graduated in '12 and '13, they got flip phones when they were ~14. Our daughter is a socialist though, bur our son is conservative, but pays little attention to current events. Makes family gatherings tenuous, she is prone to storm out if she gets offended but she eventually comes back around. Anyway, I feel for parents with school age kids, it is a tremendous effort to push back on the culture.

Our children are very close in age. Mine graduated 2009 and 2011. I did the same as you with the cell phones. Did your daughter get her attraction to socialism from college? I’ve had numerous friends have that happen. They will regret this path some day. It’s a shame that they won’t even talk about it in most cases. I just saw an article from a former woke woman who said the woke agenda doesn’t allow for actual discussion or learning about what are fighting. She converted to conservatism once she woke up!

See Dillip R (Twitter handle) who last summer spoke about his experience with these surgeries. In the winter he fully 'came out', with his real name, and openly spoke in an interview (Viva Frei?) about having been mentally ill for many years. I was blocked from Twitter about 10 months ago so can offer nothing more.

I have never joined Twitter for obvious reasons and being blocked is one of them! These woke people know nothing about the truth. I’ve read and watched so many stories of people speaking out no matter how painful it is for them because they are now ruined and know their lives have been shortened from these horrific surgeries. All the hospitals, doctors, nurses and other practitioners taking part in this intentional assault on these people should be criminally prosecuted and put away for life. It’s one thing to have an adult walk into these clinics requesting it, its another to do this to children and teens who haven’t been provided the truth. Parents who do this to their children by approving it should also be criminally prosecuted.

Thank you. I’ve been fighting for the innocent ever since this started. Not one person who has ever promoted it to me has had any information of what really happens to people transitioning. We left our church in 2020 because the diocese now promotes it and wrongly influences the students attending classes. I was a Sunday school teacher for 16 years. When the LGTBQ crap started I told them I will NEVER teach this evil in class and not to even introduce any curriculum that supports it. The most ironic thing was we were a bible based church……so where in the Bible did it say to cause children this kind of harm.

I’ve had multiple experiences with “they/them” employees in the last few years. With one exception (who is actually a very sweet but odd girl who doesn’t get upset if I forget --usually when speaking to a customer about who will finish their transaction at the register and would feel stupid saying they) these people are not on the lookout for actual work and when forced to perform such are easily sent packing via making them actually work. But I am in a retail pharmacy setting at a very busy 24 hour store. There is NO time to not actually work and we do have very plainly written attendance policies that can be used to get rid of they/them if necessary. I actually had one show up the other night to turn in “her” keys bc “she” needed a few mental health days because “she” was “sexually harassed”on the bus the other day (I do not believe this stupid story because he is actually a quite large and unattractive man who likes to pretend he is a woman married to a woman with children but makes no attempt to look or act like a woman just calls himself one for attention or something). They usually fire themselves has been my experience although it sometimes takes some time for it to happen and can be painful until it does.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 *requires* employers to provide reasonable accommodation for employees' sincerely held religious beliefs. Many of us know this first-hand since we aggressively exercised this right to decline taking the Covid jab.

There is absolutely no reason why the same statute cannot be used here. The CRA can be used to opt out of "pride" activities, public training that is degrading or humiliating, even calling others by the biologically wrong pronoun. One key point though is that employees must act respectfully to others, the CRA does not give people the right to taunt people or make fun of them (which we shouldn't be doing anyways). But it does allow us to decline to participate in non-essential activities opposed to our beliefs.

If you already have a covid religious accommodation then your sincere religious beliefs should be a matter of record with your HR department. Hopefully your behavior at work is also a testament to it, if you use profanity, goof off, and lead the 5 PM bar call then sincere religious beliefs is going to be a tough sell. However, if you have a record of being sincere in your beliefs, being courteous to others, and positive performance appraisals then you are in a pretty good position.

Of course none of this matters if the company is led by zealots who don't mind being sued. It also doesn't matter if you aren't willing to sue them if they take action against you. But most company's aren't led by zealots and don't want legal trouble. Look at how the NHL just caved based on a few players publicly declining to participate (and no doubt others privately complaining behind the scenes).

Most of this stuff is presented as mandatory but actually is optional if you are willing to push back and know the law. The problem is most people don't know the law and either act fearfully or shoot their mouths off rather than taking a serious, reasoned approach.

BTW, all of those NHL players put out a statement emphasizing their respect for all people but that their sincere Christian beliefs did not allow them to participate. The didn't directly invoke the CRA but I'm sure it was clear to the NHL lawyers that was exactly what they were doing.

Hydroxychloroquine for COVID? Ohio House passes a bill forcing pharmacists to prescribe requested drugs:

https://www.cleveland.com/news/2023/06/hydroxychloroquine-for-covid-ohio-house-passes-a-bill-forcing-pharmacists-to-prescribe-requested-drugs.html

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio House passed a bill Wednesday that would make it easier for patients to get prescription drugs for off-label purposes, such as hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin for the coronavirus. House Bill 73 passed 73 to 17. It now heads to the Senate.

Attended a church where a man spoke Re: life vs. abortion

His mother was raped; conceived him. She gave birth to him, but treated him badly. He was constant reminder of the rape.

His life went awry & he associated with bad folks. Ended up in prison bc he drove getaway car during a robbery. The ones doing the robbery ended up killing someone. So he got “life” in prison. Became a Christian & was radically changed. Anger towards mom dissipated. He studied the Word, & considered prison his mission field.

A fluke caused him to be released. He attended seminary & was ordained in the ministry. His mom who shunned him & rejected his testimony & invitation to his ordination showed up for it.

ALL to say; he said he is the poster boy for life instead of death as a product of rape.

He was grateful to have been allowed to live in spite of the hardships growing up, running with wrong crowd, prison time, et al.

A beautiful story. And not the only one by far. God seems to have a special hand on these whose mothers don’t execute them for the father’s’ crimes.

I think I remember this right, that King David’s great grandfather paternally was Boaz. Famously Boaz married the Moabitess, Ruth. Boaz was the son of Rehab, the prostitute, who saved the Hebrew spies and in turn was saved. This all in the line of Jesus, the final King of all that is.

God longs to work with us, irregardless of origins.

Sadly people fall for this all the time. We are so desperate for integrity in our elected officials that we hang on to the barest thread of evidence for “faith”. It pulls in the votes by the millions. Wasn’t it Ted Cruz who went big on his alleged Christian principles and was discovered to have never given a dime to his own church? And then there’s Pence……..

Cruz went in heavy with it. Didn’t do him anymore good than the idiotic revolt he tried at the Republican convention🤣

When in 2016, TPTB had to come to grips with the fact that nobody wanted their chosen, !Jeb (Please, clap! Never got past 3%), they moved on to Cruz, and they just knew they’d get the Evangelicals. That’s my background and fortunately, there’s plenty of ‘based’ folks in that movement.

Thanks for that link. I was surprised by this though. Do you know if Trump really did say this?

"While I appreciate what the former president has done in a variety of realms, he opposes that bill," DeSantis told CBN News. "He said it was, 'harsh' to protect an unborn child when there's a detectable heartbeat. I think that's humane to do."

When asked if he thinks the former president is going soft on abortion in this specific regard, DeSantis replied, "I think so. I mean I was really surprised because he's a Florida resident and I thought he would compliment the fact that we were able to do the heartbeat bill, which pro-lifers have wanted for a long time. He never complimented, never said anything about it. Then he was asked about it and he said it was 'harsh.'”

Can anyone verify if Trump said this and if so was there context to it that RD left out?

I found this; https://floridapolitics.com/archives/612096-donald-trump-says-new-florida-abortion-law-seen-as-too-harsh/

President Trump is a realist. If one doesn’t stand a chance at getting elected, one will not be effective at all in governance.

He’s speaking to what will voters accept at this moment in time.

We would all like to say no more abortions period. But we live and operate in a world that is not ready for that. We have made pro-life strides, but there’s so much more to do.

I think he’s saying that as a campaigning strategy, that position from DeSantis is not good for a general election, when you need to win over the nation.

This article points out that DeSantis is saying very little about that stance. Of course, before an evangelical audience, he uses it in attacking President Trump, since that’s red meat for that audience.

I have no doubt that Donald Trump would prefer a world without legalized abortion.

"...easier...such as...."

It was never *not* easy, until those two drugs during COVID. In fact, it was something that pharmacists did daily, routinely, for their entire careers, including during COVID, because it's such a common medical practice (because it costs too much to do the FDA-required studies to be approved for a new indication), but just not for those two drugs. How they live with themselves is beyond me (not to mention everyone involved in tossing the notion of needing real studies to approve novel injectable materials, but I digress). Good for the Ohio House, and I hope it is ultimately signed into law.

You should be one (me) who has to work with these idiots, ask them why it is ok to dispense all these antipsychotics for “depression” or anti-epileptics for pain but not ivm and hcq for Covid? We literally dispense the stuff we do all day long for off label and no one gives two squirts unless its a dangerous combo or dosed incorrectly etc. Hell we spend a good part of the day giving adult drugs to these poor kids for all kinds of psychological problems that are mostly the result of vaccine injury. So you think your one encounter is painful you should have to live in my head. I used to just wait till they leave and then fill all the stuff that came in that they were not wanting to do. I actually convinced most of them at my store with the above logic that they really had no business refusing.

I retired in Feb 2021. Prior to that we were forced to attend CRT trainings which were generating conflict in previously cohesive teams. My associate lab director (a position reporting to the lab director which is the top management position) sent out a recommended reading list to all of his management and staff.

I perused the materials and then used some old but still relevant language to challenge the materials. I presented the challenge to him in the form of an email response to his email with the reading list. I was very respectful while at the same time factual.

First I pointed out that as a conservative Christian, which is still a protected class under the civil rights act, I was “offended” by many of the materials. This is older management speak. We are not to offend anybody. I then pointed out the specifics of what is offensive to me and why.

Second I pointed out that the trainings had generated conflicts within teams that had previously been highly functional. Once again I presented the details.

Finally I asked him for the data, with a benefit/cost analysis that supported forcefully introducing this into the workplace.

I expected a canned response from HR but to my surprise I got a direct response from him asking if we could meet which I of course accepted. The meeting included a very high level HR rep who tried to justify being on the leading edge of promoting equity in the work place.

I respectfully listened and then brought my own background and personal experiences into the discussion. After that, I once again asked to see the data that justified bringing this in the workplace. To my surprise, my executive leader said there was none but he thought it would be a good idea for management and staff to be exposed to different viewpoints. He went on to say that he had never heard my perspective and that he would like me to join his corporate diversity team.

I was already planning to retire so I thanked him and declined. I then informed him that I had joined the company to contribute my technical skills to our success not to sit on a diversity team where I have no interest or expertise.

Bottom line, there may be hope if you take a stand and respectfully put your concerns in terms that management can understand and relate to.

I would like to know what state you live in, if you don't mind?

Right before covid, we had required training that was more anti-discrimination/sensitivity than anything else - the examples given were jokes about people's weight and age that could be offensive. We've had nothing like diversity/CRT type training, and I don't expect us to. We also didn't have vaccine mandates. This is a medium sized private (employee owned) manufacturing firm in Birmingham, AL. I've worked as an engineer at 4 different manufacturing facilities in Alabama and South Carolina. Everywhere I've worked, the workforce matches the surrounding area, ~40% black, and you might be surprised at how many women choose to work in manufacturing. I've never felt or sensed any type of racial contention anywhere I've worked, not ever. You were so right to voice your opposition to something which actually damages workgroup cohesion.

I'm biased and possibly wrong, but I don't think the CRT indoctrination in corporate/workforce culture is anywhere near as common in the South as it is in other places. People here would voice their opposition, as you said, based on our personal experiences. I hope this movement is just a fad - if it isn't, people are just going to have to move to a different state or city to get away from it.

🗨 Americans living today are the inheritors of systems that created the highest standard of living in human history. Rather than protecting the competency that made those systems possible, the modern preference for diversity has attenuated meritocratic evaluation at all levels of American society.[...] the biggest challenge of the coming decades might simply be maintaining the systems we have today. The path of least resistance will be the devolution of complex systems and the reduction in the quality of life that entails.
