I agree, but in my view, the enablers are the health systems and physicians who salivate over the procedure for their big money payouts. The medical industrial complex has become bigger than the military industrial complex because healthcare doesn't come and go like wars do.
Between Tranny surgeries and what we saw rollout with COVID, there should be a healthcare shortage in a few years since most of the health system executive teams and the physicians who blindly followed their orders will be incarcerated.
This medical industrial complex is no different than the NAZI Germany regime.
You have quoted the Kenyan, word-for-word! I expect your tongue was firmly in your cheek? :) That smilie was for the Hippocritic Oath, BHO took with his manicured nails firmly behind his back.
I don’t think that removing the pedodocs and the execs will destroy the system. In fact, it probably would return the system to caring for patients and solving issues rather than treating symptoms.
It's turning out to be one of the issues hurting the Dem party so I'm a little ambivalent. Most people who care to be informed are against it. Mom's are mostly against it except for the Karens on the coasts. Dems don't have any policies that Americans will support so it's always I'm not Donald Trump. It ain't working.
We also gave them unfettered access to birth control. I’m not a woman, but it seems to me it would be a lot easier to take a pill than have an abortion.
Logic evades their thinking which is why they work so hard to call abortion "healthcare" when it is really birth control for the clueless and lazy who project their failures on the productive people in society. There are a very few instances in the need to abort a pregnancy, and it doesn't justify the unbridled access women fight for.
With the availability of all kinds of cheap birth control that was NOT available pre 1960, why would anyone want to put themselves through a medical procedure which is not without possible side effects or even ability to have children? It just makes NO sense whatsoever EXCEPT this is a nation of stupid sheeple of both sexes. There is NO, none, reverence for life anymore. Witness random killings we now hear about!!!
Birth control is not only cheap - a lot those needing prescriptions became free under 0bamascare. Anyone notice that your insurance premiums have gone up?
I am a woman and I thank God that I never had to be confronted with the terrible decision whether or not to have an abortion. I am also thankful for "the pill"
How about "just say no" and have a little bit of respect for you own body and it's functions.
What ever happened to my body, my choice and NO YOU CAN'T TOUCH IT at every whim that overtakes YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to take care of your own PERSON?
What the Hell is going on?
I learned about those young sopranos in Music History Class in the 1960's...it turned our stomachs back then....guys and gals.
Sex education in our household started when we brought our babies home from the hospital.
We didn't run around naked with our kids, we didn't shower with them...they were taught the differences between boys and girls, in animals and people....we even stopped the car on our way to Mass one Sunday morning so our young kids could watch a cow giving birth in a pasture near the road......we explained it to them and they watched and understood.
I could rant forever, but the bottom line is abortion is murder
.
God takes care of the imperfect
.
When society goes into a Godless place of selfishness, evil takes control and destroys all that is good.
This comment is tragically true for a certain segment of women - mostly those under 40 and Democrat. A majority of older women , and especially Republican leaning, agree that abortion should either be illegal or restricted beyond 15 weeks gestation. My motto as a volunteer in the pro-life movement is that I don’t care so much for changing laws as I care for changing women’s hearts.
I don't understand the 15 week bull shit, what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong, if you really extrapolate the time to abort the life could be anywhere from 15 weeks to end of the natural life....
problem is....it's the younger women who kill their unborn children, not the older ones. mothers and k-12 have destroyed almost 70,000,000 lives and all those who would come after. what going forward? we haven't even gotten our first female abortion loving president yet.
How about teaching children that their bodies are temples given to them by God, our creator, and no one is allowed to destroy that temple but must always follow God's laws of love, living and giving, rather than death and destruction becoming our life's motto?
Killing is NOT the answer to society's problems; it is the cause of society's problem and abortion is killing.
Tough subject but when we have women deciding elections by their emotional connection to killing babies and mean Tweets was the 19th really a good idea?
I've got two conservative daughters that are a hell of a lot smarter than me. I can't imagine not letting them to vote. However, there a lot of stupid males that should be frozen out of the election process. Male actors like DeNiro come to mind.
I can see your point, but the same can be said about extending the vote to men without property; their idea of progress will be to take it from those who have it -- by means of their Leftist representatives. One example of those: Kamala cackling about making them pay "their FAIR SHARE".
My single mother(warrior) raising two of us boys in the 70's told me she wanted the 19th amendment repealed after Carter got elected... I was 8 at the time and had to look it up; it wasn't until much later that I understood her.
Carter was bad, but so bad that Reagan came in on a landslide, which was great. The only trouble was, Reagan had no worthy successor, but I believe Trump does.
So sitting here enjoying my coffee, a bit of breakfast and reading Don. Then he has to mention Rachel Levine whereas I abruptly spit out my coffee and breakfast with the mere thought of her/he/it. Good God what a disgrace.
This sketch - which I would remain blissfully unaware of but for Don’s dragging the left’s “culture” into the harsh morning light - would be startling but for one thing: it reinforces the observation that leftists are absolutely incapable of self-awareness. So the modern day horrors of the T Boys movement and the irony of this sketch is completely lost on them.
"So far, I have not found lefties who were offended by the skit, despite its purpose being about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the head."
What is a sledgehammer to the head of most of society is an unnoticeable tap to Kamala Harris and her devoted followers. Her followers don't seem to mind that she can't answer simple policy questions without uttering mumbled word salad responses that nobody understands. In other words, the followers of Kamala Harris don't want to understand anything really. Her "Let me be clear" opening to her interview questions is her only ability to sound substantive.
When she loses, her career in public service is over and I can't wait to see it happen.
This is such an hideous topic to try and be rational about. Right up there with human and sexual trafficking it’s a mortal sin against a single human or many humans to castrate someone - either boy or girl - and thereby make them sterile among other harms. And here I thought that castration for the purpose of either making the harem secure or retaining a boy’s voice was illegal - and as noted also banned by His Eminence Pope Leo. Now it’s a medical treatment?
I don’t know how to express my whole (quite angry) dumbfoundedness that it’s a form of being polite to endorse another’s self mutilation or the mutilation of their child.
I don’t believe that. These people lack the ability to connect or link events or issues to core beliefs. They cannot see the natural progression of an issue from current practice to the core of ones belief system because they dont have one. They believe in nothing but themselves and “what they want”.
I had. An interesting exchange with one of my neighbors recently. He was saying that the SCOTUS decision on. Abortion proved to him that the justices were corrupt. So I asked him if that meant then that the justices who decided roe vs wade were likewise corrupt? He didnt get it. He said no, they were reasonable. Huh? Then I told him that the justices didnt ban abortion, they just said it was a state issue and he told me that was a cop out and they failed to do their jobs. So I have decided these lefty’s either lack a brain or they are so deeply politicized they can’t think for themselves. Or both. Incidentally, my neighbor is a retired doctor. And he see’s no problem with the current transgender policies of our government. These people are sick. Wonder if my retired doctor neighbor would feel the same way if the medical profession had been allowed to “alter his program” when he was a kid?
The society we are living in is one created by the apathetic attitude to small anomalies that kept to a semi-privy clique bothering no one. Then came the televisions and film set promoting the unseemly leading to a society craving the 15 minutes of fame to where now sicko parents and Teachers are living through the innocent children. This started after the ten commmand ments and prayer were banned in schools and DOE was established. All the more reason to vote PDJT into office and try to return to moral sanity.
“The difference five centuries later is back then, no one called castrati girls. Society did not pretend that they were suddenly female. They were simply males without, um, their stones. Most of them kept their, um, pillars if only for urination purposes.”
The Bible refers to them as “eunuchs”:
“And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?” And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him." Acts 8:36-38
In some cultures men wanting to attain high positions had to submit to castration because they were less likely to revolt against the king. As I recall, in China all men who were allowed access to the palace were eunuchs. It also kept them from messing with the harem.
The medical profession needs a "You first" mandate. Anybody with so much as a thought about performing sex alteration surgery must first have their own genitals rearranged. Let's see how that works. The answer to the question "who are you?" used to be "lemme look in my pants." Now, the question is "Are you nuts?"
It is said that in pre-war Nazi Germany, the doctors were the earliest and most enthusiastic supporters of the regime. Why is this? At least in part, it boils down to the old theory of "Where you stand depends on where you sit."
Why do regimes license doctors? Yes, to (allegedly) ensure quality, but there's a more important reason: control. Doctors have so much time and money invested in their training and so much income down the drain if they lose their licenses that there is a very subtle - and no so subtle - pressure to knuckle under. Oppose regime dogma about the Clot Shots or ivermectin? Well, Doctor, you clearly are harming your patients, so we'll just send you a little hint: That's a nice medical license you have there. It would be a shame if something happened to it. And We Know Where You Live. Ask me how I know. And of course, someone trained, say, in Diagnostic Radiology - a highly technical sub-specialty - will have some trouble finding work if his license is lifted. Maybe hoeing somebody's garden or as a hod-carrier.
So don't count on your doctor to defend you, especially not in the current days of "me-me-me." He has far too much to lose.
In the Nazi era the university professors were just as enthusiastic about the regime as the doctors were. It all came down to JOBS and limiting the competition. But the downside was that after the war Germany never regained its prominence in Nobel Prize winners for science, which had been huge; now America had it, along with the nuclear bomb.
As Charlie Munger said about Hitler: "Imagine a guy stupid enough to to think that the way to advance science is to kick out the Jews."
This is the group of people we need to jail first: the transgender enablers.
I agree, but in my view, the enablers are the health systems and physicians who salivate over the procedure for their big money payouts. The medical industrial complex has become bigger than the military industrial complex because healthcare doesn't come and go like wars do.
Between Tranny surgeries and what we saw rollout with COVID, there should be a healthcare shortage in a few years since most of the health system executive teams and the physicians who blindly followed their orders will be incarcerated.
This medical industrial complex is no different than the NAZI Germany regime.
They have sold their souls for the money that this terrible policy allows today.
The so called health care system has nothing to do with either our personal health or our care.
But, Joseph, If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.
You have quoted the Kenyan, word-for-word! I expect your tongue was firmly in your cheek? :) That smilie was for the Hippocritic Oath, BHO took with his manicured nails firmly behind his back.
🙃-sarcasm
I don’t think that removing the pedodocs and the execs will destroy the system. In fact, it probably would return the system to caring for patients and solving issues rather than treating symptoms.
Jail and class action lawsuits to bankrupt them like the evil done by the Catholic Church and sheltering paedophile priests.
I agree and understand, but it ain't working.
Especially the ones mutilating children.
It's turning out to be one of the issues hurting the Dem party so I'm a little ambivalent. Most people who care to be informed are against it. Mom's are mostly against it except for the Karens on the coasts. Dems don't have any policies that Americans will support so it's always I'm not Donald Trump. It ain't working.
We gave women unfettered access to vote. Their response was that the ability to kill their own children was top priority.
We also gave them unfettered access to birth control. I’m not a woman, but it seems to me it would be a lot easier to take a pill than have an abortion.
Logic evades their thinking which is why they work so hard to call abortion "healthcare" when it is really birth control for the clueless and lazy who project their failures on the productive people in society.

Thank your teacher's union and the media for that newspeak. Also, some clergy.

Birth control is not only cheap - a lot those needing prescriptions became free under 0bamascare. Anyone notice that your insurance premiums have gone up?
nothing is free....
That requires personal responsibility and we all know the lefts thoughts on that one.
I am a woman and I thank God that I never had to be confronted with the terrible decision whether or not to have an abortion. I am also thankful for "the pill"
How about "just say no" and have a little bit of respect for you own body and it's functions.

I think he does too: if he doesn't turn out to be like Reagan's.
I'm quite convinced that Vance is superior to any of the Bushes, in education, intelligence and steadfastness.
Don’t get me started
So sad, so true.
God gave us all our rights not man. I have never understood why women don't insist men use condoms an easier simpler solution. BTW I am anti abortion.
So sitting here enjoying my coffee, a bit of breakfast and reading Don. Then he has to mention Rachel Levine whereas I abruptly spit out my coffee and breakfast with the mere thought of her/he/it. Good God what a disgrace.
Not that there’s a reason, but has anyone seen Levine and Milley together? I’m thinking it’s the same homosapien.
Yeah, both eunuchs suffering with severe TDS.
Come to think of it, they deserve to be together. In a rubber room.
Not only to the military, but to America, who depends on valor, integrity, and profound pride for their protection from all enemies.
This sketch - which I would remain blissfully unaware of but for Don’s dragging the left’s “culture” into the harsh morning light - would be startling but for one thing: it reinforces the observation that leftists are absolutely incapable of self-awareness.

“Let me be clear”…as she then will go on ad nauseum to thoroughly confuse and befuddle you.
Cringe Jean Pierre does the same thing. They must teach it at woke universities.
Maybe Jean Pierre is really Kamala with a wig and blackface...?
She does utilize a lot of filler words to increase those word salads!

I don’t know how to express my whole (quite angry) dumbfoundedness that it’s a form of being polite to endorse another’s self mutilation or the mutilation of their child.
The fact that such an insane practice is allowed for anyone, even an adult, only proves that practitioners are as insane as their patients.
But to even contemplate encouraging and condoning it for children is beyond the pale.
No punishment will ever be adequate enough for these demons.
Wherever is the { Hippocratic Oath } Suzie ?
This is all child sacrifice to their deity: Satan.
I don’t believe that. These people lack the ability to connect or link events or issues to core beliefs.

Sounds like he envies the current gravy train that his abortionist and “gender affirming” colleagues are on.
Why are so many mothers pushing this on their children? I have a boy but wanted a girl so let's "change" him? Pretty sick and evil!
The society we are living in is one created by the apathetic attitude to small anomalies that kept to a semi-privy clique bothering no one.

Eunuchs were brought about by castration: go here: https://www.christianity.com/wiki/people/what-is-a-eunuch-in-the-bible-definition-and-examples.html#four-meanings
“Sweet Loretta Modern thought she was a woman but she was another man.” ;<)
Get back Loretta.
Weren't the eunuchs also slaves?
In some cultures men wanting to attain high positions had to submit to castration because they were less likely to revolt against the king. As I recall, in China all men who were allowed access to the palace were eunuchs. It also kept them from messing with the harem.
Sometimes but not always according to The Bible.
Heck yeah!
No matter how anyone may want to spin this skit, the expression on the child’s (Ariana Grande) face tells the whole story.
I’m surprised - actually, shocked is more like it - that they even performed it, but, hey, good on them.
"But Obama’s decision to greenlight trans surgery — creating a multi-million-dollar medical industry — brought T into the limelight."
Good job getting to the heart of it, Don. There is no defendable reason for the boom in trans surgeries, especially in kids...except for the money!
Yesterday I posted a lighthearted quip that got 117 likes (Cue my Sally Field’s moment) but I have nothing lighthearted to say about today’s post.

I had never heard that Munger quote. The first belly laugh I have had all day. I am stealing that.
I'm sure Charlie is OK with that, especially since he died last year -- at 99!
