Cautionary Tale
Last week some 2,500 people posed nude on a beach in Australia to raise awareness of skin cancer. A large crowd saying, "Do as I say, not as I do." Because nothing raises awareness of skin cancer like doing the very thing that causes it.

The Senate has passed the legislation to protect "same-sex and interracial marriages." No one, clearly, is paying attention. First, "interracial marriage" and "same-sex marriage" are not similar things. They've tried to make that connection for a long time, but it's false. Marriage has a definition -- the union of a man and a woman. The race of that man and woman is not a part of that definition. The sex of the two individuals is. And codifying "same-sex marriage" erases that definition ... with no suitable replacement. Protecting marriage between races is good, but eliminating the definition of marriage is not protecting marriage. Linking the two hides that fact. And, seriously, do Republican senators think an amendment will protect religious liberty? If we can vote to ensure "marriage equality" by eliminating the definition of marriage, it's a small step to affirm religious liberty while removing it.
The Same Story?
It's kind of weird. Just like the push to protect marriage by eradicating its definition, Biden is urging Congress to force rail labor unions to agree to his "deal" "as a proud pro-labor president." Hang on, Mr. President. You favor labor unions by overriding labor unions? Another radical disconnect. (And it's not just me that thinks so.) And the Democratic-run House sealed the deal, overriding capitalism, free enterprise, and labor unions by force of law. "You will accept our offer and you will like it. Because this is America and we decide what's best."
Obfuscation ... Look It Up
Stewart Rhodes, founder of Oath Keepers, was found guilty of "seditious conspiracy" for the Jan 6 "attack" on the U.S. Capitol. Mind you, the FBI already declared that the event was not insurrection. Mind you, "sedition" is defined as "conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch." Mind you that lots of people and groups from all corners urge people to rebel against the authority of the state. But, of course, no one will think of this in those terms.
What a Strange World
Disney released a new animated family-friendly movie -- Strange World. It included a main character who was LGBT, and no one can figure out why it failed to clear $20 million on a 5-day weekend. Can't imagine, given that all parents love the idea of taking their kids to pro-LGBT cartoons. What a strange world!
Ain't MisBeeHavin'
The Bee highlighted the shenanigans in China this week with their coverage of those nutty anti-science right-wingers who were protesting President Xi's common sense COVID restrictions. Go figure. Then there was the report on Blake Ruff, a biological male who identifies as a big furry Alaskan Malamute, who won Best in Show at the Kennel Club's annual dog show competition. And why not?
Must be true; I read it on the Internet.

Of course we all know that the legislation is for being able to punish dissenters. After all, interracial marriage has been legal every where for decades! Same-sex fake marriage was made legal by SCOTUS abusing the Constitution as well as the meaning of marriage. But they were afraid the current SCOTUS would do like they did for abortion; go back to the Constitution!
The Same Story?
The amusing thing is that unions always vote Demokrat; socialists voting for socialism. Unions have been the backbone of the Demokrat party. Perhaps they will now wake up an smell the coffee.
What a Strange World
Since only 2-3% of the entire population practise homosexuality, did Disney really expect a huge audience? DUH!
What A Strange World: it's just like the movie that came out this year called Bros. They blame homophobia for the movie flopping, but who is the primary audience of romantic comedies? Women. Women aren't interested in seeing a movie about gay men and their sex lives as a romantic comedy.
Funny thing. Some of the critics on Strange World said they thought it was too much adventure for young children. ???
I had heard that there was too much confusing adventure. A whole lot of unnecessary story.
Sure, but certainly NOT "because we don't want to take our kids to that."
Seeing Biden and the DFL dump on their labor union supporters is pretty amusing, although the alternative would have been pushing the economy deeper into the tank and having no one else to blame for it.
FYI, I haven't dug into it very deeply, but if the union contracts really don't have a provision for sick days/PTO that seems pretty strange. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm not sure I want some one who's too sick to function driving a train. I tend to think that the sick day thing is more of an attempt to manipulate the narrative away from the relatively high pay RR workers get.
Craig, the thing that amazes me is that the unions will continue to fiercely back the Dems even in the face of clear betrayal of the unions, and I don't understand that.
I imagine the unions still side with the Dems since they know the Right doesn't like them either, we're just open and honest about it.
