Russia

One of my main points from the beginning and a reason we still need to stay out of it. 

Frankly, I am not sure that this is the case. People forget that it took the Wehrmacht about 6 weeks to conquer Poland in Sept-Oct 1929. And in fact, the Germans only captured about 1/3 of Poland as the Soviets, after about 2 or so weeks attacked Poland from the East and took about 2/3 of the country. 


As I pointed out before this began, Putin's likely goals were the two Donbas states in the east and a land connection to the Crimea. He did not want all of the Ukraine. Given the war, I wonder how the Russian people would view it if those objectives, and no other, were achieved. I suspect they would not be happy. 

Hopefully, some agreement will be quickly made, thus averting further escalation. Unfortunately, I have my doubts. 

It is no longer the Disneyland we used to know. If you haven't already, please watch the video which was part of the article I posted. The woman speaking is the president of Disney. Listen to the demonic insanity she is spreading.  

Definition of pansexual: Relating to, having, or open to sexual activity of many kinds.

How do you know if your child is pansexual, let along queer, if he or she is a child? (Definition of child: A person between birth and puberty.)

And if your child is having sex (including, presumably, with animals), is that something to be shouted from the rooftops in glee?

Granted, there is every expectation by this Disney executive that her views will win out without much push-back. I consider conservatism to be all but gone in this country and moral courage to be in short supply.

Thus I think it's more likely to see Buzz Lightyear giving Mr. Potato Head a blowjob than that Disney will change policy because of a commercial backlash. I would love to be wrong, but I doubt that I am.

A few months after Disney+ came out, I signed up for a free trial and then stayed on for a paid month. Much like Apple TV+, it is intellectually and emotionally barren. And I don't mean because of Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck. They're a hoot. But most of their content is gawd-awful, even outside considerations of how whack-a-doodle the company has become over the perv agenda.

Now this barrenness, this depravity, is to be considered a feature, not a bug. I'm wondering what kind of traditional American could be support this company in any way, shape, or form. Glad to hear that you've opted out.

I surmise that there is no stopping this. At the end of the day, people are still free to vote with their dollars. I just wonder if they will. More to the point, I wonder if, say, someone such as Knots Berry Farm will see an opportunity and market against this stuff and give the public a clear place to lodge their vote. But I say it's becoming more and more likely that any business with more than 4 employees will be buying into the Weirdo Agenda. The only voting we may be able to do is to rent an old John Wayne flick.

We don't know where this is headed. At some point, if you drill enough holes into the bottom of the boat, it will sink.

One of my favorite quotes is by G.K. Chesterton. Consider that religious belief has been thoroughly undermined and ridiculed in our culture. Even many who go to church don't really believe due to their emphasis on the so-called "prosperity gospel," or just as a result of the dilution of the core message via replacement with decidedly leftist/secular ideas. The head of the largest Christian denomination is himself more a Marxist than a bishop of Rome. Enough said.

If you don't mind the use of the word in this way, violence is being done daily to reality and truth. There are males and there are females and not much else in this world. But it is now widely accepted (or acquiesced to...which is the same thing) that "gender" is a fluid thing.

And although we could peaceably and productively live in a world that tolerated men believing they are women, and vice verse, we cannot peaceably and productively live in a world where this mode of thought is required. This state of affairs turns into a calcified and brutal marginalization of truth itself.

There are a lot of core issues here (not least of which is feminism). But perhaps at base is the truth that when man begins to idolize himself and has no appreciation for his place in the whole, he lets in all kinds of garbage. Thus the quote:

“When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything.”

What is worrisome is that this Marxist stuff has infiltrated the institutions that offer the healthy and best alternative to hedonism and self-idolization: Judaism and Christianity. However deeply or thinly one believes in the Divine, a lot of good and necessary philosophy stems from the idea that there are truths greater than ourselves and thus that the greatest good isn't simply accumulating as much worldly power and pleasure as one can.

We are a spiritually, morally, and emotionally sick culture. That Disney exec is as pure a sign of this as one could hope to see.

The people who push this should be operated on first. 


Surgery for "transgender" minors

The Founders were an elite and were well aware of where The Rabble could take any country. They thus, almost in unison, echoed what John Adams once said:



I never saw John Adams as a bible-thumping religious zealot. He is basically saying that no institution of laws, no matter how soundly designed, can withstand an irreligious rabble.

Thus I don't think it's either/or regarding being a religious Religionist or a religious Constitutionalist. The go hand and hand and are inseparable.



We have morphed (especially since women were given the vote and the implementation of the Federal income tax) to a Republic whose governments (state and Federal) were more limited in appetite and scope to the all-encompassing "safety-net" maternal culture that we have now.

Laid on top of all this is a consumer/manufacturing culture that has been enormously successful. Governments can get away with relative murder because the people are fat, happy, and dumb.

I think this is probably correct. I think he also thought that there must be some sort of generally agreed ideas as to the tenets of religion.  I do not recall having ever read him pondering on Buddhism, Shintoism or run-of-the-mill paganism. He was brought up in the tradition of Judeo-Christian ethics and I guess these are pretty much what he had in mind when talking about religion. Even the Deists among the Founding Fathers were brought up in the Judeo-Christian milieu and must have used this as their point of departure. Schopenhauer and others of his ilk had not yet graced us with their presence.
