We have GOT to get these squatters out of the Oval Office.

Along that line, I'm revving up for Heels-up Harris to pick Mayor Peter Buttplug as her VP candidate. Christ, the jokes will just write themselves.

All I can say is that I long for the day that the Islam cohort seeks to destroy the LGBTQ cohort after this honeymoon of political convenience is over.

I have several queer friends and I like them very much. They just want to be let alone. And the interesting thing is that male homosexual marriages fail at a lesser rate than hetero ones, and FAR less than lesbian marriages. Sort of tells you what's the common denominator, doesn't it?

Having said that, I'm pretty fed up with the LGBTQ+HDTV stuff, and so are my queer friends. Several have said that maybe the radical elements and the islamists will wipe each other out. They are particularly amused by the "Queers for Palestine" movement. They say it's like "Chickens for Colonel Sanders."

Expand full comment

I have struggled with how to witness to my friends who have sexual issues. But recently, I heard something from RC Sproul that really helped: he noted that Romans 1:24 starts with "Therefore." The issues they are having are not part of themselves but a judgment from God. And the correct way to solve them is not to try and fix the judgment but to fan the flames of their faith in a loving (but firm) God. If they believe in their heart, He will convict them of their sin far more effectively than we can.

Expand full comment
founding

Convict or convince?

Expand full comment

Unless we are convicted, we do not repent. I know you are trying to avoid "convict" since it implies judgment; but they are already under (partial) judgment and that judgment will become final unless they realize the position they are in, through faith, and repent.

Expand full comment

Thank you again for this best explanation of the word "convict" as used in The Bible. Until we know in our brains and hearts that we are convicted by God of any sin, and that we must repent of that sin, and be sorrowful for that falling away, in order to change and grow in God's word, that we must accept His demands and expectations in all parts of our lives, we cannot move forward in forgiveness and FAITH.

I'm struck today with the feeling that in the near future whites will be on the sidelines while Hamas, BLM and MS-13 tribes go after each other.

I keep thinking of Belshazzar having his big party while the enemy was at the gate. The end may come suddenly and unexpectedly as it did for him. Though not quite, for God warned him.

BiBi’s speech was a stunning speech for the Ages!! He spoke the unvarnished truth upon truth upon truth which are all undeniable in the face of reality. He pulled no punches and those in this government who fail to heed his warnings are willing to plunge this country and the world into its worst nightmare.

Excellent post. I have a couple of additions. Putin didn't start the Ukraine war, we did in 2014. Yes Obama is a virulent anti-semite, which is in keeping with his virulent anti-white racism. The vast majority of Jews support him though, just like they did Stalin, even after he launched his own Final Solution of them in the early 1950's. The only thing that saved them is Stalin died. The "D"s are an anarchist/communist/islamic party now, underwritten by Jews and white gentiles who have more money than good sense. So, we should not be surprised that they ignore all laws, court rulings, Bill of Rights, the Constitution, stare decisis, traditions, or anything else that reminds them of Western and specifically, Christian/Judeo values. Pray for the Republic.

I always thought it funny how much Obama hated white people despite the fact that the only thing he got from his father was a dose of sperm; everything else came from his white mother and grandmother, including the other half of his DNA.

Then I realized what's up: like all Lefties, Hussein Obama hates himself. His only advantage over other progressives is that he only hates one half of himself.

Self-loathing and projection go hand-in-hand. So while the lefties are declaiming how Trump will "destroy our democracy," they are the ones actively undermining the national structure, all the better to destroy themselves when the roof falls on them.

I listened to Bibi’s Speech and thought it was well worth the 60 minutes, I put into listening to it! Was it Kennedy’s ‘Ask Not’ speech or MLK’s ‘I Have a Dream’ speech or MacArthurs ‘Old Soldiers Never Die’ speech at West Point, no but it got the blood moving!

Having said that, Scott Adams referred to the carnage… so much of it unverifiable, from unbelievable sources…as Israel playing its Holocaust card.

I’m probs going to take some heat for this, probs deservedly so, but…I think he’s right.

Israel has to do what it needs to in order to survive. And if that means killing everything in its path (after giving proper warning to the non combatants of course) so be it. It’s not well known that between 19K and 30K French citizens died during The Normandy campaign but War has a way of coming up with those numbers! And when you stick innocent, vulnerable and pathetic members of your own citizenry in front of your war machines and so called fighters just so you can run the numbers it’s even worse.

But Israel shouldn’t be held back by a false equivalency, conjured up by imbeciles, agent’s provocateur, democrats, liberals or any other communist or Muslims looking to weaken their position.

Believe me the Holocaust will never be forgotten in Israel or the millions of families like mine who had parents and Grandparents who saw it up front and personal.

So, while not putting it the rear view mirror, it should ‘never again’ be used as a factor in letting Israel do what it has to! If it’s uncomfortable for the rest of the world, I’ve got a solution, forget about it… Israel will get on with what it needs to without having the world’s hand wringing.

One line that Netanyahu said though, that is unmistakably true, ‘Our Fight is Your Fight’. If we let the savages win over there, we’ll have them on our door steps over here. If Israel is prepared to take that responsibility so we don’t have to, why not give them the tools they need to do it!

If you believe that 39k Palestinians are dead then you are a fool. The numbers are provided by Hamas therefore divide by 1000. While all life is important, how many Russians , Ukrainian lives have been lost? I believe the numbers are in the 100-300k. Yet Zelensky comes to DC like a rock star. Finally and sadly we are in a clash of civilizations as we see in Europe. We can live in terror with people who want to kill us or we can kill them. Sorry but the Muslims hate Jews, but they hate Christians more. The Jews are just in the way. FJB

Expand full comment

…”they hate Christians more.” I disagree. They hate them the same. They hate all things non-Islam and want the whole world to be under Islam. The Jews, historically speaking, are first in line (Isaac v Ishmael), and adding insult to injury have a country in their backyard which for them is noxious and maddening.

We are definitely in a clash of civilizations and I wish people paid more attention to history so they would recognize that what is happening is a continuation of the jihad that began in the 600s AD and went dormant for a long while after a hard and long fight to repel, ie in Spain, but with the toppling of Constantinople. I didn’t understand this myself. I knew almost nothing about Islam. I slowly learned why the attacks and terrorism. Then it occurred to me when the Muslims took those Russians hostage, that the Soviet Union had been a force that had kept the lid on jihad during my lifetime and when it broke apart, we began to see attacks and terrorism again. They have long memories and we have the attention span of a gnat.

Biden’s speech was extremely forgettable, failed to admit the obvious, and offered the viewers nothing they haven’t heard before. While his error rate on reading from the teleprompter was better than normal (for him), it was delivered weakly. He didn’t adequately explain why he is stepping out of the race and why Kamala better than him.

This situation of Biden refusing to retire and hand the reins over makes Kamala look weak. She can’t even convince him he is too infirm to lead, how can she convince Putin or Hamas to end the wars?

A key component of this situation was the Dem party elders using the media to intentionally weaken Biden’s role as the nominee. They are getting the swap out they wanted at the convention, but now they still have to deal with his record of failure, and their standard bearer has to explain why he won’t resign every time he has another Biden moment.

Arizona State University’s Center for American Institutions has a report out that everyone needs to take a moment to read and soak in the moment.

This is from a no-kidding actual professor from a no-kidding serious public university.

It is titled, “Civic Education in the Military Are Servicemembers More Prepared for Micro-Aggression or Macro-Aggression?“

It presents an open, clear-eyed view of the cancer we have allowed to take root in our military and how this sectarianism and division spawned by operationalized Cultural Marxist thought has manifested itself into the very highest levels of leadership.

As reported by The College Fix;

“The research reveals serious problems within our military complex. The U.S. military now has a well-developed, taxpayer-funded DEI bureaucracy dedicated to rooting out ‘white privilege’ and white supremacy, and that allows for (and sometimes teaches) the overt criticism of the United States, its founding, its founders, and its founding documents, alleging that they are all rooted in systemic racism,” the report’s executive summary reads.

Titled “Civic Education in the Military,” the 41-page report represents the culmination of findings from the year-long study led by Professor Donald Critchlow.

“I want to emphasize that DEI training is not your old time workplace sensitivity training. It is destructive and divisive,”

Let’s dig itto some of the parts of the report that focus on the Navy just to give you a flavor of what is there, but remember - there is a lot more in the report about the other services as well that we have not covered on DivThu.

The Navy Master Chief Petty Officer works with “affinity groups” based on gender, race, and ethnicity on retention, and develops performance metrics and procedures to remove any barriers to retention or promotion. Major Echelon 2 and Echelon 3 Commanders appoint DEI Practitioners. The Naval Education and Training Command is responsible for training materials for entry level up to the executive. The Navy Personnel Command ensures that DEI topics are covered in career development and that funds are available for sailors to attend affinity group national conferences. Coordination with DEI Practitioners occurs at the Command level regarding training, education, and assessment. Command Resilience Teams track demographic patterns by race, sex, and ethnicity in retention, duty assignments, promotions, and awards to alert commanders to issues that might affect climate.

The most recent DEI plan issued in 2022 prescribes the bureaucratic arrangement described above. The array of high-level meetings and conferences to maintain coordination and to review outcomes testifies to the priority the Navy has assigned to DEI. The Culture of Excellence Steering Council, consisting of representatives of major Echelon 2 commands and Chief of Naval Operations staff, meets quarterly. The DEI Council, chaired by the Vice Chief of Naval Operations meets semi-annually, and at times brings in “recognized DEI leaders” from business and academia for advice.

The plan calls for the creation of a four-component cycle: “development of annual engagement objectives, collaboration in production of annual DEI Engagement and Resource Plan, coordination of Senior Leader DEI Engagement Calendar and engagement assessments through return on investment (ROI) analysis.” The plan includes adherence to Critical Race Theory (CRT), which is stated as being “Designed for commanders to better understand factors impacting all command personnel through collaboration, command climate assessment and deckplate leadership engagement.” To better understand the impact of these directives, the document specifically states that all active-duty Navy personnel, both Regular and Reserve, midshipmen, and reserve personnel are subject to these rules.

The report, rightfully, spends time on what is happening at the service academies. We’ve discussed the Orwellian stew seeping into every corner of Annapolis, so let’s check in with USNA.

The Naval Academy’s Office of Inclusion and Diversity consists of:

1 Chief Diversity Officer

1 Assistant Chief Diversity Officer

1 Senior Chief Mass Communication Specialist, USN Command Climate Specialist

1 Deputy Directory, Equal Employment Opportunity

1 Equal Employment Opportunity Specialist

The office supports 13 Affinity Clubs, promotes 17 awards divided by race, gender, and ethnicity, and advises the Superintendent on issues connected with sexual harassment, equal opportunity, trainings, climate assessments, and formal complaints.

We’ve mentioned the weights on the scale in hiring staff. Here it is;

…the goal for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion is accomplished with “Trained Diversity Search Advocates (DSA) consistently used for tenure track faculty searches” and an increase in the number of DSAs. In addition, the assessment states that of the faculty candidates interviewed were “40% female, 25% minority” with tenure track hires “43% female, 14% minority.”91 To provide context, according to a 2022 demographics profile of Navy Active-Duty members, 79.3 percent were men, indicating the USNA’s likely propensity to socially engineer their professoriate as opposed to taking the most qualified applicants from their likely male-dominant applicant pool.92 A step toward meeting the goals were new hires posted in 2023 in History and English, with preferences for civil rights movement history in the first and Post-Colonial Studies in the second. These positions required applicants to provide diversity statements.

Special programs include “Civil Rights and Domestic Immersion programs focused on civil rights or themes of diversity and inclusion.”

Oberlin College on the Severn. When the correction comes, I used to think there would be a gnashing of teeth and rending of clothes that would make it difficult. However, what we’ve seen in the last year are some of our states like Florida have defenestrated their DEI nomenklatura - they’ve left with little more than a slight whimper. They know how unpopular they are … because Zampolits are never popular.

BZ to ASU, and again, give the report a full read.
