Go Figure
The Supreme Court upheld the Tennessee law that prevents minors from receiving "gender-affirming care" (in quotes because to call it that is actually a lie). Apparently a majority of justices did not see defying science and nature as a constitutional right. Go figure.
"No Truth" Protest
Newsweek reports that Donald Trump's approval rating dropped 6 points after the "No Kings" protest last weekend. That's because ... people are sheep. They don't bother noting that Trump was duly elected. They don't pay attention to the fact that the judicial system has stopped said "king" from doing a lot of what he wants to do. They don't care that the system appears to be working. They just ... buy ... the hype. Truth in America is no longer an issue since we've redefined it as "whatever I think it is."
Celebrations Denied
The town that started the "Juneteenth" Holiday canceled their celebrations this year. And not only them. There were quite a few. Apparently there is a public backlash against the new holiday and businesses that recognize it in some places face boycotts. Juneteenth marks June 19th as the end of slavery ... even though the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1863. I'm not concerned much about the holiday. I just wonder about the furor over both the holiday and its opposition.
Remember to Pray
You're aware of the "tensions" (How's that for an understatement?) in the Middle East. I don't need to gather the stories for you. I only ask you to remember to pray. "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! 'May they be secure who love you!'" (Psa 122:6). Pray for Israel. Pray for the Palestinians ... especially persecuted Christians there. Pray for Iran. With Paul, "I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity" (1 Tim 2:1-2). Including Trump.
Your Best Source for Fake News
The Dems announced that they would celebrate Juneteenth by giving their slaves an extra 5-minute break. (It's only funny if you remember it was the Dems who pushed for so long to retain slavery, even after the Civil War.) In other news, Democrats are wondering exactly what children are for if you can't mutilate them or kill them. (Again, only funny if you remember that the Dems are avid "pro-abortion" folk.) And this last one ... just made me laugh. I don't know ... too many GEICO commercials, I guess, coupled with the current events in the Middle East. The Ayatollah let out a big surprise this week. He revealed how much he saved by switching to GEICO. Wow!
Must be true; I read it on the Internet.

And the dissenting voices didn't even have good arguments. Hopefully this is another step toward pushing this delusion back to the fringes where it belongs and has always been.
"No Truth" Protest
Well, it makes sense. It seems like a majority of the people that attended those protests were older, and thus more willing to listen to the traditional news media that is pushing the narrative that Trump is the new Hitler and wants to destroy democracy.
Celebrations Denied
This sounds exactly like the instructors that cancelled the teaching of the Tuskegee Airmen after Trump ordered no more DEI in the government, as if the two things were related. I am however confused. Why did a mostly white small town in Illinois even start a holiday that they date back to an event in Texas, which wasn't even the signing of the law? I doubt it was even the last town to even have heard of the law and they weren't the last town to hold slaves.
Remember To Pray
This is an important reminder, thank you.
I have no problem with acknowledging Junteenth in principle. It seems noteworthy to remember how long the democrats clung to their slaves after they were freed by a Republican. Beyond that it seems overblown and more about pandering and virtue signaling.
