Crazy California
In what appears to be a weekly feature here, California is at it again. (I don't mean to imply all Californians as crazy, but quite a few keep voting this guy in.) This time Governor Newsom announced that oil refineries can sell "more polluting winter-blend gasoline" ahead of schedule to try to ease soaring fuel prices. (Interesting to note. For anyone who has lived in California, we always understood that gas prices would jump when they changed fuel mixes, so Newsom is hoping to bring this jump on early to "ease soring fuel prices"?) This while they plan to terminate all fossil fuel cars and prevent natural gas appliances "for the environment" ... apparently as long as environmentalism doesn't get too expensive. He's not bothered by the hobgoblin of consistency.
Then Governor Newsom signed a bill that made jaywalking legal in California. Billed as the "Freedom to Walk Act," it allows Californians to finally cross in previously illegal-because-it-was-unsafe ways in the name of racial equity. Nice. Now pedestrians can risk being run down equally in California.
Finally, Governor Newsom has launched a billboard campaign in seven of the most abortion-restrictive states calling on women to come to California to kill their babies. One includes a biblical quote -- Mark 12:31. "Love your neighbor as yourself." John MacArthur has responded with an open letter to the governor urging his repentance. Note to the governor: killing babies cannot be classified as "love your neighbor." (I loved this Babylon Bee piece on Newsom calling for John MacArthur the baptist's head on a platter.)
Once More Into the Breach
Colorado baker Jack Phillips is on the hot seat again. A transgender lawyer asked for a cake to celebrate his (he says "her") gender transition and Phillips refused. It violated his religious beliefs. The lawyer admitted the purpose of the request was to "challenge the veracity" of Phillips. It's not about cakes or LGBT; it's about whether or not someone is allowed to hold an opinion opposed to LGBT. It is indeed about religious convictions for Christians in America.
Too Much Bad News
The headline reads, "World Of Irish Dancing Jolted By Competition Fixing Scandal." Jolted. Really. Dancing competition fixed. Really. First world problems.
Media Bias?
Two stories, unconnected, but notice the tone. In one, "A disgraced FBI special agent was found guilty on Tuesday for accepting cash ..." Notice the distance given. "Disgraced FBI special agent." They're saying, "He's not one of our boys." In the other story, "A south Alabama pastor has been indicted on rape and sex abuse charges." Not "disgraced pastor" or "failed pastor" or "false teacher" as we might have done. No. Save the face of the FBI, but sully the name of Christ's followers by pointing to one who claims to be but is not.
Weapons Out of Control
Mass knifings took place in London and Las Vegas this week. Three people were stabbed in London and in Vegas 2 were killed and 6 hurt. For reasons unclear to me, there is no call for "knife control."
Nosey
"Republican" Liz Cheney of Wyoming is urging Arizona voters to avoid voting Republican. She said if she was in Arizona, she would vote Democrat. She's not. Arizona Republican voters are urging Liz Cheney to keep her nose out of Arizona politics.
Not Genius; Genesius
Brought to you this week by the Genesius Times. The story is out. The FBI has opened an investigation into Kanye West after his "White Lives Matter" t-shirt stunt. He is suspected of being a black white supremacist. Joe Biden is promising to help those hit by Hurrican Ian by giving $13 billion more to Ukraine. What a guy!
Must be true; I read it on the Internet.
