Natural Order

Ever since George Washington decided to be a two term president there have been political differences between certain groups of people in America. That's natural since even though we all may see the same problem or set of problems sometimes we have differences of opinion about how to solve those problems. Problem solving is important and working together the various groups found ways to respect each other's opinions and find solutions. Usually the problem was how much money should be spent on a problem. How should a road be repaired and how often? How much money should be spent on people who have lost their jobs or can't work for some reason? How many city vehicles can a city afford to buy and what brand should they buy? 

Politicians would argue about the size of police and fire departments, how to provide assistance to people who'd lost their jobs, and how long that assistance should last. Conservatives have always maintained that any assistance should be for a limited duration, democrats have sought to keep people dependent on government assistance for as long as possible. Each side could provide their view of a problem then decide on a solution and the best way to pay for it. Or whatever the problem was, but now democrats have embarked upon a trek for which there is no room for compromise. They are actively promoting the idea that no one knows if they are a boy or a girl on the day they were born. Soon they will be making up scientific explanations about the function of cells in the human body and test animals and even in plant life. They will probably try to change the way we view DNA, and other important building blocks. 

Democrats are always talking about trusting the science, but only when they're using the climate change scare to force us to agree to policies that will ruin our economy and lower our standard of living. If electric is so great show us what we are missing. Sell us on the technology and let us choose what we would rather have. Experience has shown that if you build a better mouse trap people will buy it. Build a better alternative to fossil fuels and people will use it and the new product will catch on and everyone will benefit. That's another part of human nature. We like it when someone offers us a better alternative to what we've always done. Cable and satellite TV replaced the old antennae on the roof and nobody misses the old technology at all. We no longer have fuse boxes on our houses, or vacuum tubes in our televisions. There are thousands of examples. How many of us want to give up on our microwave ovens? That's the natural order. Forcing people to do something they don't want to do is not natural. People prefer to be given a choice instead of being told what to do and we to do it. Democrats want to change the natural order. They want us to believe they can stop the climate from changing. They also want us to believe that there is no science involved in identifying the difference between a boy and a girl. Worse they want us to believe that we can change our nature from one gender to another, which cannot be done. The truth is that democrats have increased their attack against human nature. Girls and boys don't want to use the same bathrooms or the same locker rooms. They don't want to shower together either. The reason for that is that they know there are some very important differences between boys and girls that need to be respected.  

There is a natural order in everything we do. If you spend more money than you bring in you will run out of money. If you go out in the rain you will get wet. If you cannot afford to buy food to eat you will go hungry. If you were born a male, you're a male, and the same goes for girls. If you are a boy and you stink at sports the solution is not to pretend you are a girl. The solution is to find something you can do well. Unfortunately pretending is something at which democrats excel. They are very good at self deception. If you have any sense at all you know the difference between boys and girls isn't just genitalia. There are deep differences between boys and girls. Democrats know that but there is power in convincing people that there is no such thing as the Human Condition. There is no God and we only have the civil rights that powerful men are willing to give us. 

Americans have to learn to trust their own observations, and rely on their own experiences. Democrats have consistently supported legalizing narcotics and prostitution. That is probably why they are strong proponents of abortion. They want to indulge in their sexual fantasies with multiple women, but if one of them gets pregnant they do not want to take responsibility for the child. Men in the democrat party don't care about women's rights or what they do with their own body. They want women to share their 'own body' with them and they don't want any troublesome byproducts of their sin. In the past they always supported legalizing prostitution and narcotics as well since according to them those are victimless crimes. Now they still honor the profession of prostitution, but it is no longer fashionable to support drug abuse so democrats are claiming that they want to stop the flow of illegal narcotics into the country while at the same time they are protecting the corridors that are used to smuggle illegal and dangerous narcotics into America. 

There are two forces that are constantly working on every person ever born in the world. Those forces are good and evil. We are all constantly making choices about our behavior and what are our boundaries. The forces of evil are controlled by Satan and the forces of good are controlled by God. Democrats want people to believe that if there is a god, He doesn't care about sexual purity or how we treat our own bodies, and there is no such thing as sexual sin, but there is. They spend a lot of time telling us there is no such thing as sin at all and if there is a God He will forgive us for all of our sins because he loves us. That is a complete lie. It is important to remember who is the author of all things and that is God. He created the universe in which we live and He set apart this earth for his children for a place of learning. We were all born according to the natural order of God's universe; male and female. Science is the study of the universe in which we live, especially the planet we call home. We didn't create science, God did and he expects us to use the earth wisely and learn all we can about it.

As human beings we are God's children and whether we know it or not we depend on Him for everything. He hasn't left us alone to fend for ourselves he has given us a pattern to follow. The first people on the earth were Adam and Eve, a man and a woman. That is the natural order of the universe and no one can change it because it is eternal. Those who study the Word of God know that we lived as spirit children before we were born into mortal life and this mortal life is a very short period of time in our eternal existence. When this mortal life ends we continue to live and grow and learn. Learning never ends and that is 'science'. Most of us at various times in our lives think we are in charge of our destiny and we are to a certain extent, but only in that we have the freedom to choose the kind of life we want to live. A loving God gave us the freedom to choose between right and wrong. The only thing we don't get to choose is to do nothing. As long as we are here on this earth we are given the opportunity to live a life of good or evil. Everyone who is born has a mission to accomplish during our life time. Some of us live longer than others. Some of us die as children and some of us live to be a hundred years old, or maybe a few more. And sadly some of us are killed in the womb before being given the chance to live a full mortal life. 

There is no such thing as changing the natural order of our lives, beginning with the most basic of life's experiences; we are all born male or female. There are no other genders. No extra identifiers are necessary we are all boys and girls forever. Our task is to learn how to be the best boys and girls we can be. The real 'science deniers' are those who preach the fallacy that we can choose. A loving God makes that choice before we are born into this mortal existence. Some people claim they can stop the climate from changing, but they can't. They claim that climate change is the greatest threat to our survival, but it isn't. The greatest threat to our survival is failure to obey God's commandments. There is order in the universe. 

We were boys or girls before we were born and when we leave this mortal life we will still be boys and girls. We never cease to exist. That is science. What has any scientist ever actually created? All they can do is study things that have already been created. Scientists have made great discoveries and helped us understand the universe in which we live, but many of them have let their learning go to their head and somehow they've convinced themselves that they have created something. Too many of them are trying to prove that their is no God and the universe was not created by any superior being but it just happened and that is actually reckless.

There is a record of the creation of the universe that is pretty much universally accepted by people all over the world. Some societies teach it differently, but there are remarkable similarities in many of them. I don't understand why some people are so offended by people who believe in God. People who try to prove that there is no God are wasting valuable resources and precious time. Every time some genius thinks he has disproven the Biblical account of the universe that person finds out there is another question that can't be answered by their new discovery. Most of science is done by using a hypothesis; something that can be used to explain the way things work. The biblical account of the creation actually is the only hypothesis that explains how we came to be. We are here and we were put here by God. He doesn't tell us exactly how he did it, just that he did it. Maybe if scientists spent more time trying to figure out how it was done they'd be closer to understanding how the universe actually works. Sometimes a hypothesis has to be put aside for a time. Not forgotten, just kept on a back burner to percolate for awhile. As people who study science go about their daily pursuits they have that "AHA!" moment and that hypothesis resurfaces and it can be accepted, rejected, or modified.

The idea that any discovery about the environment in which we live is "settled" is impossible because no one knows everything and no one ever will know everything. For any person to scoff at a person who believes in God and claim that there is no God is patently absurd. I don't understand why otherwise intelligent and even caring people become angry when the subject of deity is introduced. They have no problem telling others how stupid it is to believe in a Creator, then become angry when another person tries to explain why they believe there is a God. If they'd listen they might even learn something. How can you know if there is or is not a God unless you put His word to the test? We can't see him so he doesn't exist? I'm not sure I can actually prove that God created the universe, but I can offer lots of evidence. I can also state with complete confidence that I have tested the promises made in the Holy Bible and found them to be true. On the other hand I've read the findings of scientists, particularly those who claim to have proven that God doesn't exist and found their evidence is non existent. 

Having weighed the evidence for and against the existence of God, I have to conclude that He does exist. No reasonable person can conclude with any certainty that there is no god. We can see the universe we live in all around us and we can feel the planet earth under our feet. We can see it and we can touch it, we can even taste it if we wish, so we know it's here, and we know who created it. The author of all science created it and that's how we all got here. That is the natural order of the universe and no man can change it.

WHO TOLD US HOW TO DRESS?

Who started the dress code that Americans and most Europeans lived by for at least hundreds of years? It wasn't my mother, who told me how to dress for about fifteen years, when I started to try and get her to let me pick out some of my own clothes, but even then I didn't push back very hard. She was after all, my mother. Like it or not she was still the person cooking most of my meals and driving me to school and church and just about any other place I needed to be, or wanted to be. Movie on Friday night with my friends? I didn't want to walk five miles to the theater so mom took me. She wasn't afraid to remind me either. She lived through the Great Depression. By every account I've ever heard from people who lived through the Great Depression it wasn't any fun. So I got to be reminded occasionally, not too often, but often enough that I didn't forget, that mom and dad had both survived the Great Depression. 

They were also farmers who escaped to the city after World War II. Did I ever hear them brag about the war effort? When I wasn't being reminded about the Great Depression I was being fed stories about World War II and all the sacrifices Americans had to make in order to ensure The United States of America won the war. Patriotism was huge in the house where I grew up. Don't like it here, Don't like the USA? Then leave. It's far too precious a place to waste on those who are too ungrateful to appreciate it. You were allowed to complain about some new program, or against government abuse like reckless spending habits, or inadequate maintenance of city facilities. Poor police response, but not about the country as a whole. Disagreements are inevitable, but if you wanted to burn the flag or refuse to repeat the flag salute or stand for the National Anthem then as far as they were concerned you weren't welcome here. 

If I had ever told them I wanted to join a demonstration against the flag or if I didn't like the rules of our home, dropped out of school, or refused to work they would have said, 'We love you son, but no one is holding you here against your will. We have rules in this house and until you can afford to make it on your own you will live by those rules.' They meant it too. So when mom went shopping for clothes I didn't have much to say about style or brand name. If I was lucky I could pick the color, but I had to be careful about that too. And my mom frequently used examples of farmers when 'helping' me pick out clothes. Many of those are my favorite stories.

"Nope, you can't wear that, those are the type of clothes field hands wear and my kids are not going to school dressed like hicks." My mom had been a 'hick' and she was tired of that life and none of her kids were going to dress like that. She let us know that she didn't care what other kids were wearing. If their moms wanted them to look like that, that was their problem, not hers. Or mine evidently. In her defense during my teen years most schools had a dress code. Not uniforms those were for private schools and military personnel, not my moms kids. No, there were restrictions. Boys could not wear denim pants for example, and girls had to wear a dress or a skirt and not a short skirt either (no street walkers in our schools). 

"It is a distraction for the boys to see girls showing off too much of themselves, no one dared talk about a girls 'body' in those days (no vulgarity either). Skirts had to be at least two inches above the knee. And yes, there were some teachers and administrators who would use a ruler to measure if they suspected a violation. I've heard stories about some educators making girls kneel in the hallway so they could measure from the floor up thus ensuring a more accurate measurement. That never happened at my school and I hope it was never accepted practice at any school. I have no doubt that there were a couple of jerks somewhere in this vast country who were that stupid and hopefully the girls' fathers met them later for a severe 'counseling' session if the violator were a man and a slightly less intense, but still memorable, scolding for a female violator. 

So mom had to somehow satisfy the school requirements, make sure we didn't look like we 'just came off the farm', and we still maintained a little dignity among our schoolmates. The latter being the least important. There were some parents in our area who had also survived the difficulties of the Great Depression and World War II and were more traumatized by those events than others. It seemed to me that they were mostly from some of the larger cities around the Great Lakes and New York. Listening to their stories I think they may have had it worse than a lot of farmers, even farmers who were poor. My mom for example lived on a farm in a remote area of the state of Idaho. By the 1930's some areas in the state of Idaho had electricity, but not all. She lived in a house on a farm in an area with no electricity or running water. Their house was about 900 square feet and had two bedrooms; one for my grandparents and one for their nine children. The two oldest were boys, then a couple of girls and another boy and then mom, six girls, three boys, and a blind father. 

Even to a knucklehead like me that sounded like a hard life. I was living in a small city in Southern California in a stucco house with four bedrooms, a living room, a family room, a fireplace, three bathrooms, and wall to wall carpeting. In every room. And a swimming pool in the backyard, and we were on a hill so I had a great view of the city, especially at night. Mom's house had a dirt floor and don't think she didm't mention that a couple of times. She wasn't into guilt though. She was into clean living and hard work. She also told me that one thing they didn't experience much on the farm was lack of food and they had a clean well and a good stove. In the city they had rationing. Food, clothing, tires, gasoline, lots of things were rationed and everyone was issued some sort of ration card, or sticker for their car, or other vehicles, which although not that many people could afford one, cars were also in short supply. All of the materials used to make cars had to be used to build ships, and tanks and troop transports and airplanes big and small, and uniforms and rifles, machine guns and bullets and bombs, and the troops had to be fed so canned foods disappeared from the shelves so they could send C-rats to the troops. Everyone was expected to help with the 'war effort' and everybody did. If anyone complained they were practically shunned by all of their neighbors who were getting 'condolence' telegrams from the President of the United States just about every day. 

In four years there were almost 500,000 military men and women killed fighting against tyranny overseas in order to make sure it didn't come here to mom's beloved America. And almost 700,000 came home with severe wounds, missing eyes, ears, arms and legs, or a foot or a hand, or a nose. And I was brought into this world by parents who'd lived through that. If you didn't salute the Flag you were dirt, or a commie, which I think was worse than dirt. She said that being a dirt poor farmer in Idaho had some perks too. Because they were farmers and her father was blind her brothers were not only exempt from the draft, they couldn't fight if they wanted to, "What's the matter with you boy! There are boys overseas who are fighting and dying and you don't want to help feed them? You get back to that plow and you grow the best crops you can so they've got something to eat! And don't come simpering to us anymore. We know what we're doing." One of her brothers did want to join the army because he was tired of farm life, it was boring, and he wanted to see a big city, but Uncle Sam wouldn't take him. 

I'm not exactly sure why one of them couldn't go, there were lots of boys from farms who were drafted into the army, or at least allowed to join during the War. The government had a quota system based on algorithms and things I don't understand and it could be that the ratio of girls to boys was off and the blind father, but mom said that just because they were girls didn't mean they lounged around the house all day cooking or something. There was lots to do and a farm keeps you busy. Anyway, her brothers didn't get drafted and they worked the farm. And shortly after the war ended two of the boys did leave the farm. One graduated from a university and became a teacher for almost twenty years before purchasing a farm of his own in Wyoming and returning to a life he had decided was not that bad after all. He got tired of the big city life and returned to farm life. It was different this time because he and his wife had saved enough money teaching school that they could afford a more comfortable farm than those they each had grown up on. They both lived long lives as 'gentleman farmers' in Wyoming and their farm was prosperous. 

So between the War Years and the Great Depression I was in a pickle. My classmates with parents who fled the filth and noise of the big city and were tired of things like rationing and curfews and other regimentation associated with city life, didn't really care what there kids wore. 

"Hell! Let 'em wear whatever they want!" They were so happy to be living in a place that had all of the comforts of the big city without the noise, crime and dirt that they just wanted to relax and enjoy life. Plus there were jobs to be had that paid real money. No more hawking fruit on the corner or running errands for the local market, or driving a beat up truck for some farmer on the outskirts of the city. The big shots in those days in the big cities were the few who wrangled jobs driving the city bus or some other government job. In California manufacturing was just getting started. There were lots of farms, but small cities were popping up everywhere. And large firms were hiring engineers and architects and there were oil refineries that paid big bucks. 

Life was good. People were getting paid enough to live a good life and the truth is people were happy. Many of them had learned things in the military that made them valuable to American corporations back home. People were dreaming big. We'd been looking at the moon for years and kind of, in an off handed way, wondering what it was like there, but the guy who lived across the street from us saw it differently; he was going to send a team of astronauts there and he worked for an aerospace company that was going to help him do it. And the year I got my driver's license they did do it. 

That was the backdrop I was living in while my mom was still basically dressing me. I put them on, but my mom told me what clothes I was going to wear. Kids whose parents came from the chaos of the grimy cities could wear whatever they wanted; kids whose parents came from the order of farm life wore what mom told them to wear. I wasn't the only one. I had some friends in the same boat. Girls from both backgrounds wore dresses or skirts with blouses and those blouses were properly buttoned if they had buttons and if it was some sort of pull over top they fit properly. No tight sweaters or even sleeveless and especially no bare bellies. Today girls go to high school wearing hot pants and a bra. We could actually use a few more moms who aren't afraid to teach their girls about appropriate dress. 

The question still nags at me; who told us how to dress? I'm not a student of fashion history, but I'm going to take this from the beginning of life. Life began in the Garden of Eden. Democrats unfortunately will lose interest entirely at this point since there is no such thing as the Garden, Adam and Eve or even God. Adam and Eve broke a major rule and were kicked out of their house and had to learn how to take care of themselves. Heavenly Father loves all of us but he has rules and He expects us to obey his rules. He also has taken great pains to make sure we know what those rules are so we know how to stay out of trouble and earn our way back into His house and enjoy an eternity continuing to learn from Him. With that in mind when Heavenly Father made them leave the garden paradise He created for them he gave them instruction on what to do. He didn't just yell at them and tell them to go fend for themselves, he told them they would now have to work for their existence. We know they received instruction because after Heavenly Father made them leave the Garden he made sure clothes were made for them to protect them from the elements. There had to be someone who explained to them what the clothes were for and how to wear them and even how to repair them when they were torn and replace them when they wore out. 

Thus began the world of fashion. We are told they had clothing made of skins to keep them safe in their new environment. It seems likely that Adam and Eve were shown how the process worked and for the first time they witnessed the death of one of their animals. It would have been the first death they had ever witnessed. I'm sure they were given a variety of other instructions as well. They needed to know how to till the earth, how to cook, every survival tool necessary for then to stay alive had to be taught to them. They were commanded to populate the earth, to have offspring and to teach them right from wrong. Since there was no one else around to teach them, Adam and Eve taught their children how to dress. Their children taught their children and after several years there were a lot of people dressing themselves after the manner they were taught by our original parents. 

Since God himself stated he created people in his own image; male and female, that must have been the way it was and Adam and Eve set the tone for the difference in dress between boys and girls. Nobody knows how many years ago that was, but it was a very long time ago, and although I'm sure clothing trends and styles have evolved over the years, there was always a standard of dress that set men and women apart from each other and it worked perfectly well from the days of Adam and Eve until now. So who's to say that Mother Eve and Father Adam made a mistake? And when did this rebellion begin? What rebellion? The rebellion that tells boys and girls, and men and women to cross dress; to go against nature and try to justify it. 

That is another topic for another essay. For now let's remind ourselves and each other that God is a God of order. There is order in the universe and when we find ourselves acting in a way that goes against that natural order God is not behind it, there must be another source. Who told us how to dress? Mother Eve and she taught her children how to dress and that manner of dress has been preserved through the ages. It is important to understand the order of the universe and our role in it. Eve did not put her sons in dresses and her daughters in Pants and she taught them to dress differently for a reason. Fashion as changed over the years, but boys and girls have dressed differently from each other forever and that's the way it should be. Mother Eve taught her children how to dress, and how to act, and what the roles of boys and girls were. Today a lot of people think they can change the way God made them. It cannot be done. Trying to change our nature is contrary to the order of the universe and an offense against God.

Is Disney done?

To celebrate the 100th birthday of Mickey Mouse, Robert Iger has lost about a billion and a half dollars of Disney value. That's pretty impressive. I'm no businessman so I probably could have lost even more than that, but without the flare and happiness of Mr. Iger. Imagine Mickey Mouse in a dress holding hands with Minnie. It looks like there are a lot of people who are repulsed by that image. It isn't just me. I've been right about the LGBTQXYZ fantasy; a lot of people don't want their kids to grow up confused about something so important as human biology.

 Iger has gambled the future of perhaps the most successful American company ever. I was always a fan of Disneyland and I have a lot of good memories of what it used to be, and still claims to be, the Happiest Place on Earth only it isn't anymore. I used to work there in 1972. It was a great place to work and play. It was exciting to be a part of the Disney organization. They were alive with new ideas and the atmosphere was filled with creative people with great minds who could do just about anything. In many ways fantasy came alive The artists and engineers at Disneyland were magicians. They never thought they could change basic biology or human anatomy. It's changed a lot since then. For one thing the main goal used to be keeping guests happy like the slogan says. Now the main goal is to make money. Everything is about money. It feels a lot like Las Vegas to me now. Plastic and fake and expensive. 

I'm not sure Walt Disney would approve of the new Disneyland, not that he would have opposed homosexuality, but he would have recognized the fact that the majority of people are made uncomfortable watching men wear women's clothing so he wouldn't have allowed his Disney characters to wear dresses if they were men. Or put on make up to make themselves look like women, which if you have any honesty left in your being you'll admit that a man trying to use make up to look like a woman just looks weird. Walt Disney wouldn't want Disney characters looking weird or intimidating.  

Disneyland is too crowded and overpriced, and even divided between 'haves' and 'have nots'. people who can afford to pay extra to move to the front of the line get special treatment, and on top of that to be greeted by a man who is wearing make up on his face and wearing a dress in an effort to try to look like a woman, Disneyland has been transformed into something unique but far from inviting, and hardly the 'happiest place on earth'. I'm done with Disneyland. And it looks like I'm not alone. It's a real shame because Disneyland used to be a place where everyone felt welcomed. That's all changed now. If I have to change everything about who I am and pretend that a man can actually become a woman, and a woman can actually become a man then I am not welcome in the Magic Kingdom. Like Camelot, Disneyland has descended into a dark world of greed and mistrust. King Arthur trusted people to act decent to one another and in the end the prosperity overcame their good judgement. 

Like Lancelot, Roger Iger has destroyed Walt Disney's Camelot because his greed and lust have overpowered the vision that became Disneyland and Like Camelot Disneyland is falling apart. It's a sad end to a once great place where people could forget the cares of the world for a few hours and just enjoy the many great things that made Disneyland The Magic Kingdom.

ELECTION INTERFERENCE

In any investigation by a law enforcement body there always has to be a presumption of innocence. The first ten amendments to the Constitution deal with the rights of individuals. It was written to protect all of us from being abused by corrupt police officers and other investigators or government officials. 

The First Amendment deals with our right to freedom of expression. We can say just about anything we want, especially when complaining about the actions of a government official or a government process such as the way an election is conducted. There are laws that govern everything government officials are supposed to do. One of the things they are prohibited from doing is telling people they are not allowed to protest against an official or a government process. And what they are doing today is criminalizing protest against the results of an election because it looks like the election was tampered with.

The Fourth Amendment prohibits police officers from arbitrarily searching people to look for contraband. That included your person, vehicle, home, office, and a variety of other places. They can't even search your garbage without your permission or a warrant signed by a judge. And today the Biden Department of Justice and FBI are lying to federal judges so they will sign bogus warrants to search Donald Trump's home and offices.  

The Fifth Amendment tells all law enforcement officers from every law enforcement organization that they cannot force you to testify against yourself in court. It also offers other protections that include being held in confinement for long periods of time for the purpose of wearing a person down to the point where they would confess to just about anything. It also states an accused person has the right to the presence of a lawyer whenever the accused person is being interrogated. 

The Sixth Amendment guarantees an accused person the right to a speedy trial. The police can't lock a person up for months or years until they schedule a trial date. 

The Seventh Amendment says we have the right to be tried by a jury and not just a judge.

The Eighth Amendment guarantees that we cannot be tortured or subjected to cruel or unusual punishment.

The Ninth Amendment guarantees the right to privacy; government officials cannot spy on us without approval from a judge.

As you can see the first seven amendments specifically prohibit any government entity from taking away an individual's rights. Those who wrote the Constitution made sure Americans were protected from government officials who would abuse the authority of their office. It is a concept uniquely American and it is still valid today. Madison was right, if men were angels there would be no need for government. If only that could be the case. People have been governed by the forces of good and evil since the days of Adam and Eve. And people have been taking sides since then as well. Today it seems that most people in the United States are only thinking in terms of Republican or Democrat instead of right and wrong and what is good for everyone. Lack of leadership in America today is astonishing and the debate is increasingly centered on patriotism. Democrats view patriotism as a bad thing, preferring to pledge allegiance to a non existent One World Government, over the United States of America. They say America is a racist and a selfish country and only racists and power hungry people would insist on pledging their allegiance to a country with such a violent history. 

Democrats have wrested control of just about every university in the country and the democrat party has abandoned it's liberal roots in favor of a more totalitarian view. Examples are many including abortion, homosexuality (especially gender transition therapies), respect for law and order, pornography (especially in elementary schools), and others. In their efforts to kill freedom of speech in America democrats have twisted deeply held religious values into purely political principles. In my view the Holy Bible, both testaments, condemns homosexuality very clearly. It also condemns all other forms of sexual impurity; not just homosexuality. If I say that sexual impurity is a sin while at the place where I work some of the people with whom I work will laugh at me and call me old fashion or a prude, but there is little chance of being fired for saying it. 

That all changes with homosexuals. If I say I believe there are only two genders I'm taking a real chance of at least not being able to promote and move up in the organization, but if I take a stand against men actually attempting to change their gender I will find myself out on the street looking for another job. The government is forcing photographers, disc jockeys, florists, and people who run bakeries and  many other occupations to participate in homosexual marriages, ignoring their right to freedom of worship. No government should ever be allowed to tell an individual they have to do something they consider a sin and enforce their will at bayonet point, but is what is happening. Soon it will be a crime for a minister of religion to refuse to perform a same sex 'marriage'. A few artisans have closed their shop rather than be forced to participate in the government imposed religion, but most need to stay in business so they go ahead a participate under muted protest. 

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." That's a partial quote from the First Amendment. It seems to me that when the government forces people to participate in an activity that is prohibited by their rightly held religious beliefs it has established a religion. And Congress hasn't established such a law, the Supreme Court has. There have been two times the Supreme Court has illegally usurped it's power in my lifetime. First was when they passed a law making abortion legal in all fifty states, and second, when they created a national religion. Just like the courts now are supporting, and possibly even encouraging their use as legitimate political tools against the opposition party. Today we are witnessing the illegitimate use of criminal courts to keep a popular political candidate from running for office. It is painfully obvious that each time there is a report unfavorable about Hunter or President Biden in the news the very next day, or very soon thereafter there is another action taken against Donald Trump. The goal appears obvious to me; to keep Donald Trump from campaigning for president of the United States. 

It is obvious to me that the Democrat party is falling apart and the Republican party isn't far behind. That is the reason why Donald Trump is being persecuted the way he is; the leadership of both parties despise him because he is not part of the Washington Swamp. He is a solid outsider who thinks for himself and couldn't care less about party affiliation. For him the country comes first and that's the main reason I support Donald Trump for president. Contrary to the charges against him, he is probably the most honest politician I know of today. And that is another reason they hate him. He's not afraid of the way people see him. He speaks his mind and as he said himself if people don't like him they won't vote for him. And it is that simple. 

That is why the democrats are so afraid of him; he can't be bought. Their candidate is a proven liar, he is weak, he sells his influence to others for money, he is a despicable person. About the only way for Joe Biden to beat Donald Trump is by cheating, and traditional methods of cheating are becoming less reliable. They can no longer depend on the Black vote to get them what they want. Accusing Republican Black people of being Uncle Toms is not as damaging as it used to be. The truth is that democrats have become experts at election interference. Possibly the greatest example of Republican interference would be Richard Nixon and his handling of the Watergate issue. And how did that turn out? Nixon resigned rather than put the country through a divisive impeachment and possible criminal trial. Republicans used to put country first, today I'm not so sure. For at least the last seventy years democrats have been registering dead people and household pets to vote. They have also been very effective at driving busloads of people to the polls to vote and pressuring them to vote democrat all the way there. Those forms of election interference are less reliable than they used to be so here we are today. 

Barak Obama appointed cabinet members based on their loyalty to him, country came second, if at all. That stopped when Donald Trump took office. Of course he wanted people to be loyal to him, but he always wanted the country to come first. And Joe Biden has weaponized government even more effectively than Obama did. I will always believe that it was supposed to be Hillary Clinton's job to complete the destruction of America. Obama was able to appoint three Supreme Court justices who were hostile to the Constitution and Hillary would have been able to appoint three more justices who were also hostile to the Constitution and that would have effectively doomed our Constitutional Republic and with it America. It was supposed to be a bloodless coup, I'm not at all sure it would have been bloodless though. There almost certainly would have been small groups of people around the country who would have done something violent to prove their patriotism and try to save our country. I believe that's what democrats wanted so they could paint those individuals as Republican extremists and continue to portray members of the Republican party as anti America thus, they hoped, forever weakening the influence of the GOP and paving the way for them to impose a monarchy. By electing Donald Trump we literally saved America for at least a few more years.  

Hamstrung by the loss of the Supreme Court, democrats are using the power of the top federal law enforcement officials in the land to twist any political statement at all into a criminal conspiracy. And some district attorneys are doing the same thing, many of whom under the direction of the Department of Justice. They will do whatever it takes to ensure that democrats remain in power. The goal is no longer to strengthen the nation. The goal now is to control the nation and everything and everyone in it. When Donald Trump accused James Comey and others of treason he wasn't that far off. There may not have been enough evidence to get a conviction in court since it is such a serious charge, but what else to you say about people who take an oath to defend the Constitution then violate that oath in an effort to prevent a person they don't like from running for president? I'd call subverting the Constitution treason.  

There have been constant attacks against the Constitution almost from the beginning and two hundred and fifty years seems to be about the most any civilization can stand. This is one of the very few governments instituted by a freedom loving people designed to serve all of the people and not just the ruling class minority. About a hundred and sixty years ago we fought a brutal, bloody and costly civil war because democrats thought they could destroy the Union and now they want to give it another try. Like I've said before they will lose again and America will be safe once more for at least another century and a half.

SECRET SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS

Things are heating up in public schools again. Summer must be over and once again parents across the nation are protesting the waste of valuable school time explaining to children five to ten years old the importance of accepting homosexual relationships. In Montgomery Maryland recently parents were not allowed to attend a school board meeting where the members of the board were planning the best way to include the importance of valuing homosexual relationships over traditional relationships. Obviously some parents are concerned about the LBGTQXYZYADAYADAYADA community forcing their agenda on small children in public schools. 

And why shouldn't they be? Why should the alpha bits community be treated any differently than the rest of the community. We should be teaching kids to respect each other because we need to help one another and learn to work well in a group setting and solve problems together. The alphabet soup community wants to create problems and that is not helpful. For example; how many five year olds do you suppose care about the make up of everybody's family? Why do we even use phrases like traditional family, or lgbtyaketysmakedy families? As much as homosexuals think they are the most important thing in the universe maybe we need to grow a little backbone and let them know that they are no better than anybody else. Homosexuals who have children need to teach their children respect for others the same as any other family. 

Act like you're normal and try to accept yourself for who you are and nobody is going to care who you are married to. There certainly is no need to waste valuable time trying to tell kindergartners how important it is to be nice to their friends who have two daddies or two mommies. Anyone who knows anything about kids knows that if a kindergartner has a grudge against a classmate it ain't got nothin' to do the kids parents. Kindergartners don't think about other kid's parents unless their forced to by ignorant educators with a chip on their shoulder. 

And teachers, school board members, and administrators should have more important business to tend to than forcing their political agenda onto children in elementary schools. It is probable that small children are learning any anti LLLLLGGGGGBBBBTTTTT+++++ bias at home and that is most likely fueled by the anger the homosexual community creates when they attempt to force their propaganda onto kids who couldn't care less and have no need to.   

For some reason school boards, educators, and administrators seem to think that teaching kids to read and write in school is a radical idea. A lot of us never studied education at the university, but we still somehow figured out that teaching kids to read and write should be the primary goal of public or any other schools. When parents are barred from attending a school board meeting where the topic is about homosexuals' special rights what do you think they are going to be talking about at the dinner table? It isn't going to be about how important it is to give homosexuals preferential treatment at school. At the dinner table when tempers are still hot, kids might even hear some words they probably would never hear mommy and daddy say if they hadn't been provoked to anger by ignorant homosexual activists. When are teachers going to learn how to put their cognitive reasoning abilities to good use? 

Something to think about. It is possible that those people who want to force all of us to worship at the LGBT++++++++ alter are their own worst enemy? They are outnumbered and probably their best tactic is to teach their kids how to get along with other kids and stop worrying so much about a lifestyle they've chosen to live and even they aren't all the way comfortable about it.

TRUMP MUG SHOT

They finally did it. Democrats have raised the stakes to a dangerous level. They rarely think about the consequences of their actions and their arrogance is going to destroy this great nation. You won't hear it from them, but the United States of America is the greatest nation in the world's history. It is worth saving and building upon, but democrats want to destroy it. And now they've resorted to a tactic that is so dirty that the struggle will only escalate to new heights. I don't know why they've only arrested him four times. Why not twenty? or fifty? 

Democrats are cheering each other and dancing in the streets. They think they've stopped Donald J. Trump from running for president. Some of them really seem to believe that Donald Trump is going to prison. If he does somehow end up in prison he will not only be the first former president to be wrongfully arrested, convicted and sentenced, he will be the first former president to be elected again while serving his sentence and the first president to receive a presidential pardon while serving in office from a prison cell. All they are doing is adding momentum to a growing cause; rally around Donald Trump. I'll be wearing my Trump shirt all over the place. I don't like dirty politics but I'm used to the usual lying and mud slinging. I don't like it but both sides do it. Until now. This is not mud slinging, this is trying to put a man in prison for life for crimes that were never even committed just to keep one man from campaigning. 

It simply isn't right. Not only that but it's dangerous in just about every way. We need to be able to have faith in federal law enforcement officers, but people like James Comey and Christopher Wray, and others at the top of the FBI, have destroyed that trust and it's going to be hard to get it back. Today Christopher Wray testified at a congressional hearing that he didn't know if there were any FBI assets present in the mob that stormed the Capitol Building on January 6th 2021. Two years after the event, and hundreds of arrests later, he claims to know nothing about what his office is calling an attempt to overthrow the government of the United States of America. Kind of sounds like Joe Biden claiming to have no knowledge of his idiot kids business dealings with other countries. 

He probably doesn't know that Donald Trump is getting arrested every other day either. The worst part is that they are fanning the fires of discontent that are building all across the country. Fortunately America is a Second Amendment state and about a hundred million Americans own firearms. If we can marshal about three hundred thousand armed crazy people and storm the prison where Trump is being kept they won't be able to arrest all of us. If we are successful in taking over a military base and a couple of major cities people will back us. And I am not talking about an insurrection, not by a long shot. I'm talking about the Declaration of Independence. Democrats know it as 'the thing'. 

We won't be overthrowing the government, we'll be restoring it. Dusting off the Constitution and using it, studying it and rebuilding America. Nobody wants that except democrats, and a few loony bins in the mountains and deserts who don't know what they are. They will be hard to control too. That is what democrats are working up to when they do stupid things like trying to make an honest disagreement look like a conspiracy to commit some sort of crime. All they have is statements that are based on rumor and not fact, no physical evidence, very little eye witness testimony, and none of that is reliable. I admit Donald Trump does scare people. He get's things done and politicians and bureaucrats hate that. They'll talk about a problem for years and finally decide to think about it a little longer. 

Not so Mr. Trump. He'll think about a problem for a few minutes, a few hours if it's complex, and then make a decision about how to handle and much to the horror of Washington bureaucrats, he'll order them to fix the problem and tell them how to do it. He doesn't tolerate people who can't get a job done. Especially when they've got all the resources in the world to do it. So he is dangerous. People have been killed for being exactly like Trump. Bureaucrats don't look like much, but when they get scared they can be dangerous. Bureaucrats will shoot you in the back then scurry back to the comfort of their little cubby holes. 

So the sheriff of Fulton County Georgia, Patrick Labat, a spiteful little man, is trying to make a reputation for himself by actually taking a mug shot of Donald Trump and making sure everyone in the world can see it. It's an act of cowardice really. He didn't catch Donald Trump and Donald Trump didn't commit any crime. Donald Trump was ordered to show up and that's what he did. All Patty did was try to embarrass Trump as much as he could. He succeeded in embarrassing himself. What an idiot. Besides being a former president of the United States, he is also a candidate for the presidency. The stupidest person in Georgia would tell you that the only reason Trump is being arrested is to keep him from campaigning. That's it. I can hardly wait for the trial to begin so I can watch those so-called prosecutors make fools of themselves. I'm having a hard time believing they are actually taking it this far. 

When Donald Trump wins the election in 2024 democrats better start looking for the exit signs and maybe even leave the country because they are probably guilty of real crimes. Like conspiracy to interfere with an election by make repeated false arrests of a political candidate, lying to Congress, filing false affidavits, taking bribes from the leaders of foreign countries and lots of other juicy stuff. Donald Trump is not a man to forget people who have been good to him and he is not afraid to show his gratitude, and he will not forget people who tried to see to it that he died in a prison after being arrested multiple times on false charges just to keep him from being able to campaign against their candidate, who really is a corrupt mobster. 

Mr. Trump will not wait until after the inauguration either. He's probably putting together a team right now of people who will go after the Biden crime syndicate so the day after he is inaugurated he can start rounding up all those people who tried to ruin his life just because he belonged to the opposition party. And it's going to be fun to watch. They not only arrested him multiple times, they plastered his mug shot all over the world. Look at that face; he is going to go after them like Hurricane Trump and I'll by that shirt too. He warned them, "If you hit me, you better put me down, because I will be coming after you." 

I hear you prez and I'm with you. I will be voting for Donald Trump in 2024 and I really hope he wins. I will be paying close attention to these personal vendetta cowardly tribunals disguised as trials as well. None of those prosecutors have the ability to stand up against a team of solid, keen, well dressed, eager and enthusiastic lawyers. Don't forget aggressive. If those democrat hack prosecutors had any sense they'd be scared already, but there's not much chance of that. Wait for the trial and watch them make fools of themselves then stand by for a wave of Congressional hearings. There will be plenty of scared democrats trying to lie to Congress and landing themselves in the prison they thought they had reserved for Trump. 

This is a dark day for America and a new Revolution may well be coming in the very near future. It may be necessary to take serious action protect moms and dads from being arrested at school board meetings by over zealous police officers who become confused about a parents Constitutional rights after they've been labelled 'Domestic Terrorists' by the FBI for objecting to teachers telling first graders all about anal sex, and stocking school libraries with pornographic materials. Another democrat felony is teaching your children that there are only two genders; female and male. Parents have become such a pain in the rear end. They insist on getting involved in their child's education in public schools. How dare they interfere with a curriculum that has been put together by professional teachers? What do parents know about education anyway? Butt out! 

Donald Trump is becoming a folk hero and ya gotta love it. Arrest him for committing hundreds of crimes worth hundreds of years in prison and watch his popularity soar. Take a mug shot of him during one of your beloved 'perp walk' tours and propel him into the White House. We used to wonder who was going to win the election. Thanks to stupid democrat paid prosecutors Biden can start packn' things up. If he lives long enough to lose the election, face it his health is deteriorating fast, he will be moving out shortly after election day 2024.

FEMINISM

 Okay, say it with me:  FEM-IN-IS-M.

I thought feminism was about empowering women. Yup, they deserved the right to vote and drink liquor and smoke cigarettes and swear a lot in public, and burn their bras. You know, the stuff that makes a society stronger. And they were vocal about it. And now they have all of those rights. They wanted the right to kill their children in the womb and they got that right. Some states have restricted that right, but it still exists in most states. 

I was ok with most of that actually. I don't smoke, drink alcoholic beverages, swear in public, but if that's what women want to do, if that's what makes them feel better about themselves then they should do it. Feminism is not about making our country stronger, it is about making women feel better about themselves. After all, what self respecting woman would want to take care of kids when she can go to work and be under appreciated, underpaid, and hit on for sexual favors several times a week by uncouth men who have no respect for women? One of the other great things about leaving your kids at day care (if you're dumb enough to even have kids) so you can compete with other women at the office, is that a disappointing number of who don't mind helping the boss, wink, wink, if it helps them get a promotion, is that you'll have to make that decision yourself and you will be passed over sometimes for that other woman who is more serious about the direction of the organization. 

Think that doesn't happen? I worked for a major American city for a long time and saw it happen many times. The more skilled the job, the less likely that type of activity is going to happen, but staying on the job to work your way up to those positions can be heartbreaking for many women. It's true that men are pigs, but it turns out that women are willing to learn how to become pigs for an extra couple of bucks an hour. Men are fierce competitors; women are brutal competitors. Of course now women can sue the boss if she can prove that is what is happening. The city where I worked has paid out millions in those types of lawsuits, but nothing has changed. The boss never is reprimanded and the woman who won the lawsuit is frequently transferred to another department where she will be ignored for months. Sometimes the new department will be led by another woman who was promoted by the same boss after proving her loyalty. 

There used to be a very active feminist movement that helped women succeed in the workplace and in sports. We passed a number of laws designed to help women, especially in high school and college sports and feminists helped get those laws passed. Now there is no organization to help women and they need help now more than ever. Women need a modern day Gloria Steinem, a woman who used to champion women's rights and made a ton of money in the process. Now it looks like she's just in it for the money. She's actually joined the other side and has decided to carry the banner for men who want to displace women at the podium, in the workplace, and anywhere else women fought hard to be. The current Woman of the Year is a man. In many once respected publications the new Female Athlete of the Year is a man. This year's Miss Netherlands is a man. Men are winning many trophies and contests that were formerly awarded to women and feminists think that is something to celebrate? I don't think there is a logical explanation for that, but it seems like they are thinking something like 'the more the merrier'. If feminist leaders can make more money by championing for a man's right to call himself a woman by insisting that a 'trans woman' is in fact a woman, that's what they're going to do. If that's the case there is no such thing as women's rights. 

A quick internet search revealed that women have been abandoned by the feminist movement who discarded them in favor of homosexual rights. Currently there are no groups organized to  defend women's rights. If there are any women who still believe women can't compete against men in college and professional sports they need to band together now. There may be a few women who can beat men in sports, but it's a very small number. Maybe there should be a pro match up between the worst NBA team and the best WNBA team and find out how successful women are when competing against men in sports. 

Or a cage fight between the reigning male cage fighter and the reigning female cage fighter. I don't think women will come out very well in those contests unless they pick fake women; women who are really men. No matter, the fact is that no one is standing up for women's rights anymore and somebody needs to. It will be political suicide, but it still needs to be done. Unless someone has the courage to speak up in support of women, women's sports is done. There will probably be a fairly large market made up of people who want to watch transgender women compete against each other and that is the future of women's sports. 

It's a tragic period of time for women who like to compete. I don't know who it will be because the opposition will be vicious, but there needs to be a leader with the courage to stand up against the evil practice of men pretending to be women and competing in women's sports. I don't know many people who are transgender (actually no one), but they have to realize that they have put themselves in a different category. They are neither men or women, they are something else. Non Binary if they want, but they have to pick a demographic they can live with and then live with it. 

It just isn't fair to women who were born female, and therefore legitimately consider themselves females, to be abandoned like this. Someone needs to stand up and shout, "What's wrong with you people!" It has to be someone with charisma and good standing. It also has to be someone willing to sacrifice that standing in the community, and whatever other future they may have. Democrats will do whatever it takes to destroy them because there is no room for any discussion about something this important. Democrats have spoken and anyone who disagrees with them has to be destroyed. It is already practically illegal to claim there are only two genders; a person can be fired from a job for saying that. I always suspected that People like Gloria Steinem and others were phony's out to make an easy buck and now I have further reason to suspect that. How could anyone who is serious about women's rights, possibly contend that a trans woman is really a woman? And women need to band together, join hands, and hold on tight. No woman should compete on a high school, college, or professional sport if men are competing against them. The fact that this isn't obvious is actually frightening because is means this great nation is losing it's sense of human decency. 

We need a new feminism that is willing to do the hard work of reminding women who they are and helping them find the courage to stand up against the homosexual transgender movement. There a few women who are starting to defend women's sports. There are no so-called feminists among them and they will be addressed in a separate essay. The feminist movement is dead. Anyone who claims to respect women and supports the National Organization for Women has some serious soul searching to do. The NOW crowd has abandoned any pretense of sanity. They have also abandoned women in favor of men who claim they are women. Fake feminists are in it for the money and now they have actually turned their back on women and are embracing men. 

The feminists have turned into a group of raging lunatic cannibals who gobble up real women and spit them out. The feminist era is over and women lost. The irony is that men didn't win. Well they sort of did win and that's even more tragic. A few men decided that there was no way they could win any prizes competing against their peers in sports so they decided they were women and somehow that was enough to get them access to women's sporting events, and locker rooms, and showers. Why didn't I think of that when I was in high school? There are a couple of reasons. First it's just plain wrong. Second if I'd have been caught in the girls showers I would have gotten my ass kicked. And third, if my old man found about it, the ass kickin' I got at the high school would have seemed like nothing more than a severe scolding, and my mom wouldn't have spoken to me for months. If ever.  I may not have been a math whiz but I knew the difference between boys and girls. 

Let's preserve womanhood and put transgenders in their rightful place; in their own league competing against each other. One advantage might be that men will be forced to compete against men (frightening I know!) and women would be competing against women. How they'll know the difference is their problem.
