1A: The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 along ideological lines that the First Amendment bars Colorado from “forcing a website designer to create expressive designs speaking messages with which the designer disagrees.” To nobody’s surprise, the Wrongs who claim to be all about tolerance are the ones trying to force an artist to violate her religious beliefs.

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION: From the Babylon Bee – “Jubilant revelry broke out yesterday following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling against colleges using Affirmative Action policies in their admissions, with Asian American families celebrating by cutting loose with a five-minute study break. …

“The ruling from the nation’s highest court prevents colleges and universities from discriminating against applicants based on race or ethnicity, leading many to believe highly qualified Asian students will no longer be shut out in favor of filling quotas for students with other ethnic backgrounds. …

“At publishing time, the boisterous partying in the Asian-centric communities in the area was expected to stretch all the way until the break of 8 P.M., at which time the children would return to their studies of advanced astrophysics before meticulously cleaning their houses and going to bed early.”

CATHOLIC: Early in June, Ross McKnight made an Instagram post commemorating the fact that Catholics have long dedicated June to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. McKnight, his wife, and five children operate a small farm that raises pasture-fed livestock that they sell online and to high-end restaurants.

Within hours of posting his pro-Catholic message, nearly two-thirds of their business disappeared. McKnight responded by posting, “We count it a privilege to have lost much. It is an honor to participate, through the suffering of our family, in the triumph of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. ‘If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you.’”

Somebody started a GiveSendGo fundraiser for the family (link below) which, as of July 2, had raised $120,371. In addition, the McKnights have added a small store to their website to sell Sacred Heart merch; the proceeds will go to build a chapel.

FAMILY DRAMA: I try not to do gossip here, but I think this wretched marriage should serve as an important lesson to all of us. [13:45] – Good comment on the video: “Unless you have married a narcissist you would have no idea how devastating it is. They destroy your lives. Literally.”

Thankfully, my relationship with a narcissist was just a college apartment mate. We were BFFs ForEVR … until I decided to move away to attend graduate school in another city. Then, she cut me off like I had died. Years later, I read a book that said people like her don’t have friends; they take hostages. Ding. Ding. Ding.

TRANS REGRET: [12:13] – “We’re butchering an entire generation of children,” says ftm trannie, Scott Newgent. Check out his forearms; the surgeons mutilated his arms to make him a fake phallus that doesn’t work. He is a powerful speaker with a critically important message.

USPS: And in yet another SCOTUS ruling, the court voted unanimously in favor of the evangelical Christian mail carrier who was fired for refusing to work on Sundays. Supporters say the decision means more employers will be required by law to respect the religious beliefs of their employees by granting them workplace accommodations. Under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, an employer must demonstrate that such an accommodation would impose an “undue hardship” on the business. That standard hardly applies to the USPS which has a plethora of carriers willing to work on Sundays.

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION: In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court of the United States has determined that race-based affirmative action in higher education does not comply with the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection. MSNBC reported this as being a racist decision because, dontchaknow, if top schools like Harvard ignored race and just accepted the best of the best, about half the students would be Asian.

GET WOKE, GO BROKE: The National Geographic Magazine began publishing in 1888 as a scholarly journal. In 1905, it began including pictures, then in the 1910s, added color photos. Until 2015, the magazine was owned and managed by the National Geographic Society. In the 1980s, it boasted 12 million subscribers. In 2017, it began pushing wokeness, then in 2019, The Walt Disney Company took over. Today, what was once a “well-respected scientific and educational organization … known for its stunning photography, groundbreaking documentaries, and in-depth reporting” is closing up shop.

MALARIA: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued an alert for Florida and Texas, after a handful of people contracted malaria from local mosquitoes in Florida and Texas. The last time local mosquitoes infected anyone was in 2003 in Florida. The species that can carry the parasitic disease are found in multiple areas around the United States, but they can only become infected and spread it if they first feed on someone who has it.

“Malaria is a medical emergency and should be treated accordingly. Patients suspected of having malaria should be urgently evaluated in a facility that is able to provide rapid diagnosis and treatment, within 24 hours of presentation.”

GRAMMY NOTES: As a certified bus driver who had actually earned a living navigating a 66-passenger bus filled with screaming children through city traffic, I took no guff from my teen drivers. I took no guff from my passengers either. LOL

I recall one pompous male of Class 5 driving age sneering, “Right on red!” at me when I was sitting at a light. I calmly informed him that the right-on-red law did not apply to a bus carrying passengers, which he obviously would not know since he had not qualified for a Class 2 license.

Another time, I was taking college students to an end-of-year picnic. One of them tried to light a joint. I hollered at him to put it out. He said no, so I pulled over, informed the fully loaded bus that I would be on duty for hours, ferrying hundreds of students to and from their party, that second hand smoke is intoxicating, that I wasn’t risking anybody’s life so that somebody could get high ten minutes sooner. Then I pointed out that we were miles from nowhere, but if any of you have a Class 2 license and know how to drive this vehicle, to let me know. The other passengers made sure the jerk put it out.

Driving a school bus is not for wimps.

CLICK https://twitter.com/itsNTBmedia/status/1674447325102522372 to see an absolute legend.

Merriam-Webster defines “intersectionality” as “the complex, cumulative way in which the effects of multiple forms of discrimination (such as racism, sexism, and classism) combine, overlap, or intersect especially in the experiences of marginalized individuals or groups.”

So far as I can figure out, what it really means is, “The weirder I claim to be, the more social cred I can demand.”

Way back when, we just had “Lesbians” and “Gays.” But as intersectionality became more influential, they started using an ever-evolving acronym. First, they added a “B” to the “L” and “G” to include “Bisexuals” – i.e., those who will boink either sex.

Then, they added a “T” to include “Transsexuals” – i.e., those who reject their biological gender – and put some black and brown stripes on their flag to grab some of that intersectional racism gusto.

Then, they added a “Q” for “Queer”, which used to be a pejorative term for gays and lesbians, but which is now allegedly being embraced by those who will boink either sex. But don’t ask how they are different from “Bisexuals”, because I haven’t a clue.

Some say “Q” can also stand for “Questioning”, which would include people who aren’t sure what kind of sexual perversion they embrace, but really want to “come out” as something not traditional, so they can take advantage of all the yummy social cred that is now being bestowed on the “Pride” crowd. Note: Some people use “QQ“, I guess to make sure both are properly represented.

So, then, they added an “I” for “Intersex” which describes the rare people who are born with abnormal reproductive organs and/or genes. And just you never mind that “intersex” is a medical diagnosis, not a sexual preference, and that some/many/none of these folks care to identify with the “Pride” crowd. But guess what? They’ve gotten themselves a thingie on the ever-more-bizarre flag.

Next, they stuck on an “A” for “Asexual” – i.e., people who don’t experience sexual attraction at all, which is kind of like “frigid,” but with intersectional cred.

“A” can also mean “Ace”, which supposedly covers people who experience some, but not much sexual attraction, so “semi-frigid” but with intersectional cred.

Or it can supposedly also stand for “Aromantic”, which covers those with little or no desire to form romantic relationships. You know, those commitment-phobes we used to look down on as “Sluts” and “Players,” but who we now are expected to admire.

So, sigh, then they added “2S” for “two spirit” which is defined as “third gender (allegedly) found in some Native American cultures, often involving birth-assigned men or women taking on the identities and roles of the opposite sex. A sacred and historical identity, two-spirit can include but is by no means limited to LGBTQ identities.” So basically, they’re people who may or may not have any actual Native American blood, but who want to be more intersectionally glam about their sexual diversity by “identifying” as such.

Aaaaand, finally, they stuck a “+” on the end to maybe stop anyone from making “LGBTQIA2S” any longer and more ridiculous. According to the Gay Center website, “The ‘plus’ is used to signify all of the gender identities and sexual orientations that letters and words cannot yet fully describe.” So, who knows … maybe it’s for people who boink their pets and/or farm animals.

Theeeeeen, the Canadian government decided that the fusty old “LGBTQIA2S+” acronym was just too last season and officially designated the new and improved acronym to be “2SLGBTQQIA+.” Cuz you know, we really need to give priority to the gender diversity of Native Americans. CLICK https://twitter.com/saokodomi/status/1439995479945740292 to hear him try and fail to get all the alphabeticals straight. LOL

But wait, we’re not done yet. (Please, Jesus, come again soon, so we can finally be done!) Some activists in British Columbia have decided that switching to “2STNBGD” would somehow improve health outcomes for “young people [who] face frequent misgendering, long delays in care, [and] lack of access to knowledgeable providers.” And here I thought the problem Canadians faced with a lack of access to providers was because the government has a stranglehold on all medical services. But what do I know! Maybe it really is because of a shortage of up-to-date, politically-correct acronyms.

Read below about the latest assault on a pro-lifer by one of those who condone and even profit from the slaughter of innocents.

Pro-life sidewalk counselor Mark Zimmerman often prays and ministers to women outside the abortion clinic in Saginaw Township, Michigan, where long-time abortionist, Theodore Roummel (88) practices his vile trade.

On Friday, Roummel deliberately drove his car into Zimmerman, knocking him down and breaking his leg. After backing up and running over the leg again, Zimmerman reportedly got out of his vehicle and laughed at Mark as he lay injured on the ground.

Mark suffered a broken leg from the attack and will have to have surgery to repair the fracture. “They’re going to put a rod in my tibia with a couple of pins and screws,” he says. “Once I’m all done with this whole ordeal, I will continue to go back and continue ministering.I feel God called me to do this. I’m moving forward and telling people that I do forgive this gentleman for his actions, as a believer in Jesus Christ, but I do want to see justice prevail. I don’t consider myself a hero of any kind. Keep up the fight for life, and remember that God has not given us a spirit of fear.”

If you want to help Mark with his medical and possible legal expenses, click https://www.givesendgo.com/mark_zimmerman and donate.

Police responded to the scene, but did not take Roummel into custody or, so far as we know, even file charges. They just talked to him briefly, then let him get on with murdering babies. Roummel has a history of making threatening comments, pulling into the driveway at reckless speeds in order to intimidate people, and swerving toward people who are standing on the public easement, the curb, or the edge of the clinic driveway behind a designated line (where people are legally permitted to stand).

In 2012, Roummel ran his car into Lynn Mills, director of Pro-Life Michigan. In that incident, he was arrested, charged with assault, and placed on probation for six months.

He has also been accused of leaving a baby’s head inside a patient’s uterus, leading to hemorrhagic shock. When doctors at the hospital performed life-saving surgery, they found so many lacerations inside the woman’s cervix and uterus that she had to undergo a hysterectomy.

I was unable to learn the disposition of the malpractice case, but googling did turn up that the other abortionist involved in butchering Syndra Feetham was the notorious Alberto Hodari, who has a history of violating health codes at his abortuaries where at least four women have died. Hodari is a wealthy man who lives in a luxury home where he indulges his expensive hobby of collecting classic cars. But he was so unconcerned with patient safety that he couldn’t be bothered to install an emergency exit that ambulance workers could access. He appears to still be practicing medicine.

In 2022, 57% of Michigan voters approved a proposal to add abortion and contraceptive use to the Michigan Constitution. The amendment makes it unconstitutional for the state to enact any laws to restrict abortion, including those that would protect the health and safety of the women who seek abortion.

CALIFORNICATION: David “Dana” Rivers (67) was convicted last November of the triple murder of Charlotte Reed and Patricia Wright, a lesbian couple in their late 50s, and their 19-year-old son Benny. He was also charged with arson for dousing the garage with gasoline and setting it on fire, an apparent attempt to destroy the evidence of the murders. On June 14, Rivers was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Two days later, he was transferred to the Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla, because he identifies as a woman.

Female inmates report being terrified of trans inmates, including those who, like Rivers, have had bottom surgery. And their concerns are well founded. After transitioning and allegedly getting his boy parts hacked off, Rivers became an enforcer for an all-female outlaw biker club called the Deviants. He went by the nickname “Edge” and had tattoos indicating he was a “1 Percenter,” a reference to the supposedly small percentage of motorcycle clubs that are criminal. One of the two women he killed was a member who had tried to leave the club.

DRAG IN CHURCH: “For the gift of Drag Queens, O God, we give you thanks!” – Pastor Rev. Victor Floyd said, “We’re hoping to offer a little balance to all of the hateful rhetoric that’s out in the country.”

Hmmm … I seem to recall that Jesus reserved his harshest condemnation for false teachers. For example, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!” [Matthew 18:6-7]

COVID-19: Igor Chudov reports the first case I have heard of in which an unvaxxxed person (him) got the ‘rona again. His original bout was in November 2020. When his current symptoms began, he did a rapid test and, when it showed positive, he started taking the stuff in the photo. He says his first bout was a lot worse than this one, which has just amounted to feeling a little under the weather, a fever on Friday evening that broke at midnight, loss of sense of smell, and a slight cough. He says he has felt well enough to stay busy, including weeding the garden.

I’m thinking if he had been taking zinc, C and D all along, he wouldn’t have gotten sick at all. Most Americans do not get enough of these essential nutrients from food and they are all critical in fighting off viruses. Dearest and I have been taking them daily for years as part of our supplement regimen. After COVID-19 became a thing, I added Quercetin, which is a zinc ionophore – i.e., it moves zinc into cells where it can fight viral replication. And, recently, I came across a paper suggesting that the digestive enzyme, Bromelain, greatly increases the bio-availability of the Quercetin, so I switched us to from plain Quercetin to Vitacost’s Quercetin (250 mg) & Bromelain (156 mg) blend. We’ve never had the ‘rona at all.

PURPOSE: Matt Walsh wrote, “’Cisgender’ is not a biological designation. It has no basis in science. It’s a signaling mechanism that tells you the politics of the person who uses the word. These words are a way for true believers to signal their political allegiance as well as their subservience. Calling yourself cisgender is like flying a Pride flag in front of your home. Everyone understands the implications. The real point behind calling someone ‘cisgender’ is to brand them as just one possible variation out of multitudes. When you’re called ‘cisgender’, you are placed on a spectrum against your will, along with trans and non-binary, and other identities. You have been conscripted into all of this, whether you like it or not.”

WASHINGTON: Remember when “Just say No” was a thing? – In March of 2021, the Washington State Supreme Court decriminalized drug possession for the entire state. Washington has since seen its overdose death rate skyrocket. Between January 2022 and January 2023, an estimated 2,850 people died from drug overdoses. To put this into perspective, the next highest overdose death total for that time period was Maine, with 716.

GRAMMY NOTES: When somebody I happen to be closely related to was in high school, she decided to treat the family to a delicious dinner of Chicken Parmesan. She did everything herself, including the shopping. Dinner was delicious, though somewhat different than usual, which comment brought out, “When I went to the grocery store, I forgot the recipe and couldn’t remember what kind of cheese goes into Chicken Parmesan, so I got cheddar.“

CORRUPTION: On Friday, Attorney General Merrick Garland denied the allegation IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley made before the House Oversight Committee that Biden-appointed D.C. U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves had prevented U.S. Attorney David Weiss from filing charges against Hunter Biden for crimes he had committed in 2014 and 2015.

Hours later, Shapley’s legal team went public with the names of three of the six witnesses besides IRS Assistant Special Agent in Charge Gary Shapley – i.e., Baltimore FBI Special Agent in Charge Tom Sobocinski, Assistant Special Agent in Charge Ryeshia Holley, and Special Agent in Charge Darrell Waldon. These people have each corroborated Mr. Shapley’s account

LOSING THE CULTURE WAR: Belmont University in Nashville, TN, bills itself as a “persuasive and attractive” Christian school. They recently canceled an on-campus Promise Keepers event over the group’s blog post affirming:

• That true life and joy is found when we reject sin. (“We know that our old self was crucified with Him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.” – Romans 6:6)
• That gender ideology is an idol of our culture and that, as sin, it is poisonous. (“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.” – Prov. 14:12; see also Deuteronomy 29:18-19)
• That marriage is designed by God to be for one man and one woman. (Mark 10:6-9)
• That Jesus, the Son of God, will forgive our sins if we repent. (“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” – 1 John 1:9)
• That the path of following Jesus Christ is difficult and countercultural, but it is the path of LIFE. (“You will make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures forever.” – Psalm 16:11; see 2 John 1:6-9)

St. Philip’s College in San Antonio, Texas, is a historically black college that was founded by an Episcopal Bishop in 1898 to educate and train recently emancipated slaves. One of its biology professors has reportedly been fired for teaching his students that sex is determined by X and Y chromosomes. Dr. Varkey has taught this same biological fact to more than 1,500 students for the past 22 years. First Liberty Institute, a law firm that defends religious liberty for Americans, is representing Varkey in his effort to be reinstated.

Texas Christian University (TCU) in Fort Worth, Texas, was founded in 1873 by the Disciples of Christ (D.O.C.) church and continues to identify itself as a Christian school. As part of its “nuanced” approach to Christian education, it offers a course titled, “The Queer Art of Drag,” which was taught by drag performer Nino “Maria von Clapp” Testa. In the class, students explored “drag performance as an outlet for social critique, pedagogy, and queer worldmaking” and the history of the “queer art of drag.” Students were also required to develop their own drag personas, which they debuted at TCU’s Annual Night of Drag. The school’s website has an entire page devoted to Pride Month.

PRIDE: “If you’re going to paint yourself, walk around naked, and play in a public fountain, I question your level of sanity. But when you do it in front of kids, without pause, I think you should be placed on a watch list.” – Dennis Michael Lynch

SLEEP APNEA: Snoring recording … the girls and I videotaped him. It had zero impact. The night he woke me one too many times and I realized I seriously wanted to jump on his chest and choke the life out of him, I insisted on separate bedrooms. Funerals are expensive and then there’d be the whole prison thing.

Finally, he got A-Fib, which led to a sleep study and a lecture about sleep apnea and heart attacks, which led to him getting a CPAP that he tended to not wear so much.

Then he started getting dizzy spells, which led to an MRI that found he’d been having mini-strokes, a repeat lecture about sleep apnea with addition of stroke risk, and now he finally wears it all night.

Sleep apnea is dangerous. Don’t ignore it.

SYSTEMIC RACISM: Buffalo Bills player Jordan Poyer tried to host a charity golf event in South Florida to raise funds for the non-profit ECMC hospital in Buffalo, New York. He’s been forced to cancel it because a bunch of Wrongs pressured players and sponsors to back out, due to the venue being owned by a certain former POTUS. If athletes and sponsors pulled out of an event because it was associated with Barack Obama, they would be canceled for life.

HARKLES: “Over promise and under deliver” [2:01] – In late 2020, Spotify signed a $25m deal with Harry and Meghan to produce podcasts that would “bring forward different perspectives and voices that perhaps you haven’t heard before.” The used-to-be royals produced one series that won an award, then nothing. Spotify says their decision to part ways was “mutual.”

MTG: “Impeachment is becoming obvious.”[11:02] – July 13, 2017 text from Hunter Biden to ChiCom-linked exec, Henry Zhao – “I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled.” …. hmm, maybe because Trump won? …. “Tell the director that I would to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.” At that time, Zhao was the chairman of the board of one of China’s leading asset management companies. This text is just one of many that make it clear that Joe Biden was intimately involved in Hunter’s shady deals, something he and his staff have denied numerous times.

DRAG MARCH: Clearly, the “respect” and “tolerance” they demand goes only one way with them. – On Friday, alphabet activists marched in New York City’s annual Drag March, chanting “we’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children” in a Manhattan park. They thought they were being oh-so-amusing.

KAREN: I saw this on a YouTube Karen video about property lines and thought it was too funny not to share. – “I was in process of buying my dream home and during the process the question of having it surveyed came up. The house was surveyed just 3 years ago and “supposedly” didn’t need to be redone. I said no and wanted it surveyed again. Apparently, the neighbor to the west of me was related to the survey company and for the last several house sales, they falsified the surveys. The crew I had was from out of town as I was doing a VA loan and the VA chose them. (Luckily)

“End of story, her fence was 25 feet over on the north and 35 feet over on the south. She flipped poop, screamed and yelled and was a total pain to the survey crew to the point they called the police. She threatened them with death and I had it recorded. Her husband had to come talk things down. She was charged with disturbing the peace. A gazebo with hottub, fence and 20 trees had to be cut down at her cost. A new 6 foot high privacy fence went up and I now own .49 of an acre or 1/4 of the block I am on.

“Needless to say, I have a huge yard now and a beautiful backyard. Her gazebo is still sitting in her much smaller yard. I kept finding trash just on the inside of my fence so I gathered she was still at it so I put the security camera on it and after multiple acts, reported her and gave the police the video and she was fined. That finally put her over the edge. She freaked out so bad that her husband kicked her out, got divorced and he and I have beers occasionally. We’re both much happier.”

WHITE HUT: [3:24] – God help us.

GRAMMY NOTES: I think this may be the most satisfying piece of trivia I have come across in years.
