DEATH CULT: My mother always said, “If they ever legalize abortion, euthanasia will be next.” I wonder if she could have foreseen what’s now going on in Belgium and The Netherlands, where doctors and parents can off babies and toddlers. In Canada, where they recently added depression (which is treatable) to reasons one can request Medical Aid In Dying (MAID), the bean counters are actively discussing also removing age restrictions.

They want to assure us this only involves “a small group of terminally ill children who suffer hopelessly and unbearably, whose palliative care options are not sufficient to relieve their suffering and who are expected to die in the foreseeable future.”

But that’s how euthanasia for adults started … and now it’s being pushed on people with disabilities who simply want help functioning because, guess what, it’s cheaper for the state/insurance companies and easier for the family.

DELAWARE: Ryan Webb, a Delaware County Councilperson, has come out of the closet.

“After much consideration I have decided to come out and finally feel comfortable announcing my true authentic self. It is with great relief that I announce to everyone that I identify as a woman and not just any woman but as a woman of color as well. I guess this would make me gay/lesbian as well, since I am attracted to women.

“Whew, that felt good to finally get that out there and start living life as my true self. I’m excited to bring some diversity to the county council. Until today we didn’t have any females of color or LGBTQIAPC+++ on the council. I’m glad that now we do!

“To avoid confusion, everyone can continue to address me as Ryan or as Councilman Webb. I will also retain my my preferred pronouns of He/Him, however, this will in no way diminish my true identity as a woman of color. I’m excited to be a vocal partner of the LGBTQIAPC+++ movement. Who knows just how far we can take things, but I’m just glad that this is now possible so ANYONE can be ANYTHING or ANYONE they want.

“God bless America

“*edit*

“It has come to my attention that I am more than likely the very first lesbian woman of color in the history of Delaware County to ever serve on the Delaware county council. I am honored to be the one to shatter that glass ceiling. #GirlPower”

The Wrongs got their nasty on, inspiring my personal favorite comment: “The level of ignorance here is truly astounding. All who are writing comments full of vitriol seem to be blissfully unaware that they are doing a fine job of proving the councilman’s point.”

FOX NEWS: [5:46] – Last week, Dan Bongino left. This week, they booted Tucker Carlson. They didn’t learn much of anything from Project Veritas’ board tossing James O’Keefe, did they?

MICHIGAN: “Stealing is not only a crime but it is morally wrong too. Some jobs, like that of being a police officer, require you to take an oath prior to starting. Within the officer’s sworn oath is the promise to protect person’s property.

“That being said, it saddens me to report that a current officer of the Wyandotte Police Department is under investigation for stealing!

“The incident happened two days ago at the station. Ofc. Barwig was eating lunch in the breakroom when he was called to assist with a person in the WPD jail. He quickly jumped into service, leaving his half eaten lunch on the table. A short while later Barwig and another officer returned to the breakroom only to find Ofc. Ice leisurely strolling out of the room licking his chops. Barwig’s entire lunch was gone….disappeared, vanished!

“Ofc. Ice has invoked his fifth amendment right to remain silent and quite frankly is not cooperating with the investigation. He has a history of rummaging through trash cans that are within his reach. There have been several other accusations of him taking food right from coworker’s hands as they walk by.

“WPD will consider our Facebook followers opinions on how to proceed with this investigation.”

Said Facebook followers pretty unanimously voted Officer Ice innocent by virtue of cuteness. My favorite comments: “I’ll be his attorney pro-bone-oh.” “Sounds like Officer Barwig did not invoke the right of dibs.” And “I’m sure tenacity in this investigation will find the truth….. it will all come out in the end.”

SNAPCHAT: This news item reminds me of “1984” where every home had nonstop surveillance and a built-in television that broadcast the government’s one and only channel and that could not be turned off. It seems that the Snapchat app is now “offering” you the “opportunity” to download an “AI” app to your phone. Folks who have tried it report the “AI” was clearly programmed with nothing but Wrong talking points; you can see a sampling at the Twitter link below. What’s more disturbing is that, unless you subscribe to Snapchat Plus, there’s no way to get it off your phone. Callie at Distractify suggests that, as it becomes more widely used by non-subscribers, they’ll surely add a way to remove it.

VAXXX: [13:12] – Dr. Campbell looks at a FOIA’d report from the UK’s NHS for Lanarkshire (a county in the Central Lowlands of Scotland) regarding miscarriages and stillbirths prior to and since the ‘rona jab. The most disturbing data points include:

  • Decrease in live births (4,292 in 2019 to 4,073 in 2022)
  • Increase in neonatal deaths (6 in 2019 to 16 in 2022)
  • Increase in early miscarriages (1,060 in 2019 to 2,065 in 2022)

Incredibly, the NHS has no data concerning the vaxxx status of any of these women.

Matt Walsh writes, “God does not want my bare minimum. God does not want me to go just one step further than other people. He does not say, ‘Be good enough.’ He does not say, ‘Be better than most.’ He says, ‘Be perfect.’ Of course, it’s hard to shoot for perfection. It is all the harder when you are surrounded by people who are not even trying. The world tells us that there is no such thing as good or bad. All is permissible. Sin is no big deal. Some sins are even laudatory. There is no perfection. But Christ calls us out of that relativistic fog—all the way out. Not to mere acceptability or decency, but to holiness, to sainthood. He will settle for nothing less, so neither can we.”

AOC: This popular Democrat appeared on MSNBC with Biden’s former spox and said the federal government should remove Tucker Carlson, and other Fox hosts, from the air for “incitement to violence” (of which she gives no examples). Psaki nodded in agreement.

PFIZER: Remember when Pfizer and the FDA tried (and failed) to delay release of COVID-19 records for 75 years? The report, “PREGNANCY AND LACTATION CUMULATIVE REVIEW” dated April 20, 2021, is clearly one of the reasons. In it, Pfizer recorded that 11.3% of the 458 pregnant women who were injected lost their babies. The normal rate is 5-6%.

RSV: Pfizer wants to push yet another vaccine on us. This one for a disease that is mild, of short duration, and easily treated at home with inhalers or nebulizers. Their trials … including, incredibly, on pregnant women … show the vaccine is essentially worthless, which I’m sure won’t stop them from trying to shove it into our arms anyway.

TRANS REGRET: She was totally supported by her family and doctors.

WITCHCRAFT: The Madison County Sheriff’s Office in Texas is “actively coordinating with other agencies to find answers” after ranchers found six cows dead in suspicious circumstances. Not that anybody asked me, but I’m voting for demon worship.

The cows had all had their tongues and the hide around their mouths removed with straight, precise cuts, but the meat was not touched and there was no blood spill. On two of the cows, “a circular cut was made removing the anus and the external genitalia. This circular cut was made with the same precision as the cuts noted around the jaw lines of each cow.” These are all signs of a ritual sacrifice done to empower a curse, maybe something to do with silencing a potential whistleblower.

If that wasn’t enough evidence, these dead cows lay untouched for several weeks after their deaths, because no predators or birds would scavenge the remains.

ABORTION: One common argument for denying the unborn their human rights is that they are totally dependent on their mothers. Does it follow then that airplane passengers lose their rights while they are totally dependent on their pilots?

DEBT CLOCK: Jesus, come soon!

DEMONIC: In 1982, a women’s history museum was founded in Aarhus, Denmark. In 2016, its thematic focus was expanded to encompass gender and sexuality. The statue above is a new addition.

John Knox at Not The Bee writes, “While I’m sure they think this is super enlightened, it’s literally what ancient pagan cultures did with their gods. Consider Asherah, also known as Ishtar, a sex goddess – the consort of Baal – whose worship included male prostitutes who dressed as women and offered their ‘services’ in groves of trees.”

“They also set up for themselves high places, sacred stones and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every spreading tree. There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land; the people engaged in all the detestable practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.” – 1 Kings 14:23-24

S&G: Fellini’s Satyricon shows where we’re headed now that we’ve rejected Christ [2:24] – This grotesque film is set in Imperial Rome during the reign of Emperor Nero. It tells about two old guys, Encolpius and Ascyltus, each vying for the heart of a boy slave named Gitón. It is a non-stop bombardment of every vice you can imagine. I wish I had never seen it.

TEMU: Like TikTok, TEMU is a ChiCom spyware app. Kim Komando strongly urges you to keep it off your devices.

IOW, it can monitor activity on other apps, track you and your notifications, read private messages, change settings, download all your contacts, calendars, photo albums, social media activity, chats and texts.

TWITTER: Musk has instituted an $8/month fee to display the “verified identity” blue check mark on your account. Multi-millionaire celebs are up in arms about this infringement on their “right” to “free” speech. I wonder how many of them pay big bucks for bodyguards and VPN and every other kind of security feature known to man? It’s clearly not about the eight bucks. It’s about Musk.

WYOMING: When a group of “Jane Doe” sorority sisters tried to sue their UW sorority for allowing a trans man to join (and move into the house!), the judge said they had to reveal their identities. Despite the risk, which in the case of trans activists is very serious, they complied.

One witness says she has witnessed at least five times when the trannie has been just sitting alone in the house living room, staring at women as they walk past, with a woody clearly visible in his crotch. Another witness says the trannie threatens his “sisters” with discipline, particularly if they express objection to his membership.

Hmm … It sounds like he hits #1 and #2 on the Signs of an Abuser hit parade: #1 He treats other people badly and #2 He thinks he’s above everyone else.

Environmental Justice

Joe Biden has signed an executive order making “environmental justice” (whatever that is) “the mission of the entire government.” If you read the news reports, it’s about controlling and/or cleaning up pollution. In reality, there are literally no limits on what it not just authorizes, but actually commands unelected federal agents to do to We the People.

Each and every federal agency is henceforth required to make “environmental justice” its top priority with regard to any “rulemaking, guidance, policy, program, practice, or action that affects or has the potential to affect human health and the environment, including an agency action related to climate change.”

In short, the feds can now do whatever the heck they want to do to us all in the name of potentially protecting us from the mythical dangers of manmade climate change. That should scare the bejeebers out of every thinking American citizen.

ARKANSAS: On Monday, Gov. Sanders signed The Given Name Act into law. Henceforth, without a parent’s permission, school officials may not change a student’s name or pronouns.

BUYER BEWARE: The FTC has filed a complaint against The Bountiful Company for using deceptive sales practices to promote its products on Amazon. Among the violations cited are inflation of reviews and hijacking of Top Pick and Amazon Choice badges. The violations involved Nature’s Bounty supplements, which are still for sale at Amazon.

CHICAGO: A judge has ordered Chicago to reinstate city employees who were fired for refusing the ‘rona jab. In addition, they must be reimbursed for all benefits and back pay, with 7% interested added, and retain any seniority. Sadly, the thousands who caved to the city’s draconian mandate will never be compensated for the loss of freedom or any health problems the vaxxx caused them.

WISCONSIN: On March 3, an 18-year-old “trans” male high school senior entered the female’s locker room where four 14-year-old freshman were changing after PE class. The girls showered with their bathing suits on, which was common practice, while the trannie stripped naked and made a point of exposing his guy parts to all four of them. Shocked, the girls say they closed their eyes and hurried to finish and leave asap.

Sadly, they were so intimidated by the pro-trans atmosphere in our culture that they did not report the incident. However, a friend of theirs did. The article linked below says, “The incident should have been reported under Title IX, an anti-sex discrimination law that protects students against sexual harassment and assault,” which did not happen. All that seems to have been done was that the principal sent the parents an e-mail saying the incident “should not have happened” and vowing to “continue to work to ensure no one has a similar experience.” Except, she didn’t outline any actual steps the school would take.

The district’s policy is to stand by “LGBTQIA+ students and staff,” taking “seriously our responsibility to provide safe, nondiscriminatory, and inclusive environments for people of all orientations and identities as they reflect our diverse community around us.” The statement also says that “all children will be safe and loved in our schools.” Riiiight.

The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty Inc. (WILL) has gotten involved, noting in particular that the “power dynamics between not only a biological male and female but between a senior and a freshman, and student safety, the age difference of the students here is relevant.” WILL is seeking answers to why the school district didn’t follow proper Title IX procedure and has filed an open records request seeking the school’s restroom and locker room guidance that was in effect at the time of the incident.

Water Filter Pitchers

I recently subscribed to Consumer Lab again. Their new review of pitcher-style water filters may be useful to some of y’all. Here’s a very brief overview.

Cost to use: Kirkland and Brita (less than one cent per cup). More expensive ones include PUR, LifeStraw, and Aquagear (1.5 – 1.8 cents per cup); Aquasana and ZeroWater 40 gal (2.5 – 2.8 cents per cup); Travel Berkey (4 cents per cup), ZeroWater 20 gal (5.2 cents per cup).

Heavy metals: All of the tested brands removed lead, mercury, and cadmium; removal of arsenic varied by brand.

Performed as claimed by manufacturer: Brita Soho; Kirkland (Costco) Signature Water Filter; Aquagear Water Filter Pitcher; Aquasana The Clean Water Machine; PUR (top pick for arsenic and chlorine removal); Berkey Travel Water Filter (removed all the arsenic, but only 10% of chlorine); LifeStraw Home 7-cup BPA free (removed 98.8% chlorine, 5% fluoride; claimed to remove all microplastics, but actually removed less than one third).

Not Approved: ZeroWater. Claims to remove microplastics, but actually increased the amount by 1200%.

N.b., regardless of brand, they recommend you wash a new pitcher thoroughly, then filter and discard at least 3 pitchers of water and only begin drinking with the fourth pitcher.

DEMOCRATS: All hail the Patriarchy! On Thursday, the House passed legislation aimed at preventing biological males from competing in girls’ and women’s sports at schools across the country. The vote was 219-203 and strictly along party lines. All the “yes” votes came from Republicans; all the “no” votes came from Democrats. FAUXTUS is expected to veto it.

EV: On Tuesday, a parking garage in New York City collapsed, killing at least one person. [:47] – A recent study raised concerns about older parking garages that were not built to bear the weight of electric vehicles. The five-level garage in the video was licensed to accommodate 276 gas-powered vehicles, but EVs weigh about 1,000 lbs more than their gas-powered counterparts. Thus, this structure may have failed simply because too many of those 276 vehicles were EVs.

FAUXTUS: After a trannie murdered three 9-year-olds and three adults at Nashville Covenant School, the “Tennessee Three” led a protest to celebrate the murderer.

Two of them were booted out of the Tennessee General Assembly (TGA), while the third kept her seat by a single vote, apparently for having been slightly less obnoxiously in violation of the rules than the other two.

The three were welcomed on Good Morning America and received a Nashville visit from VFAUXTUS (who did not visit the victims’ families). Justin Jones, the biggest mouth of the three, came back to the TGA later with a child-sized coffin as a gun-control prop. CLICK https://twitter.com/robbystarbuck/status/1648366688222560269.

Now, the “Tennessee Three” been invited to the White House to schmooze with Joe “Mr. Compassionate” Biden … who has yet to express any concern for the innocent victims of a vicious shooting. At his first public appearance after the shooting, he joked about ice cream.

And, while his office did issue a proclamation ordering flags to half-mast “As a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence perpetrated on March 27, 2023, in Nashville, Tennessee,” one has to wonder at the wording. According to the Wrongs, there were not six victims, but seven, and the only one they care about is the trannie who stormed the school intending to kill and die.

Jill Biden did attend a memorial service in Nashville for the victims, but she did not make any remarks and I could find no mention of her visiting the victims’ families.

The New Hampshire Senate passed the bill, but it is not clear if it will make it through the House. If it does and the governor signs it, it will require schools to give parents access to school curricula, disclose changes a student’s gender identity if a parent asks, and opt children out of specific instruction and some vaccinations. The bill would also give parents the right to sue an educator who they believe has lied to them.

With all the exorcism movies coming out this year, it is natural for faithful Christians to wonder if films of this genre are ever safe, appropriate, or beneficial.

Zachary King posted his thoughts on his Facebook page: “I often get questions about horror movies and if it’s ok for Catholics to watch them. I found this article that I think explains it very well so I’ll put that below. But I have a few thoughts to add and highlight.

“First, you need to be careful with getting overly fixated on all things gore, horror and darkness. This is where you need a healthy dose of discernment. If you’re getting a bit addicted, attached or obsessed with such things, you need to reevaluate and back away. Don’t become enmeshed. If it causes you temptation, get rid of it. If this sounds like you, make sure to bring this to confession.

“Second, stay away from things like the movie Saw where it *very clearly* glorifies torture and evil. The images are brutal and disturbing. We are what we consume and that includes what we choose to watch and listen to. If the movies have scenes of witchcraft and Satanism where spells are said out loud, I would be safe and avoid it. Or at least fast forward those scenes.

“Third, if the movie blasphemes God, ditch it. It’s one thing for a movie or show to be dark in nature but, if it mocks God, stay away from that crap. God deserves better and so do we.

“I could probably come up with other pieces of advice here but this is what comes to mind for now. Check out the article to get a well-rounded understanding of the topic. It’ll be helpful.”

S&G: After 25 years of teaching music at Western Michigan University (WMU), Professor Daniel Mattson’s contract was not renewed. He is suing the university for violations against freedom of speech and religion, as well as equal protection, alleging the university’s management became openly hostile toward him after discovering he had returned to his Catholic faith and rejected the gay lifestyle.

SRA: There is an in-depth article about Satanic Ritual Abuse in the Mormon church at the link. I skimmed it and now feel dizzy and disoriented. The one point I am grateful for is that these people are fighting against the stigma of “Satanic Panic.” IMO, satanists themselves inspired that ‘80s phenom specifically to discredit survivors.
