Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
Hilarious. Vagina Monologues Kicked Off Campus as Too Cisgender! ~ Some day soon political correctness just has to self-destruct ~
And parents are paying $46,000 per year to have their children twisted into insanity. And make no mistake, that’s what it is. They are teaching these young women to deny reality. It’s sad.
Santa’s Shrinking Reindeer Blamed On Arctic Climate Change ~ Good grief! What won’t the alarmists blame on global warming?
Anti-Muslim hate crime hoaxer’s sister blames the NYPD ~ Yasmin Seweid made up her hate crime story as cover for being out late (and clearly she has every reason to be afraid of her father, who forced her to shave her head) but now ~
The sister of the Muslim teen who lied about being harassed to avoid parental punishment for breaking curfew posted a Facebook rant blaming the NYPD and the media for her sister’s lies.
It should be clear by now that the religion-of-peace is incompatible with the civil society.
A Rape At Standing Rock ~ Well it was attempted rape – but this comparison does clearly expose Rolling Stone’s laughable double standards.
Pastor Tells Kids at Texas Mall: ‘Santa Claus Does Not Exist’ ~ So much wrong with the world today and this dude chooses to make this his crusade?
A pastor made a scene on Friday by preaching about the falsehood of Santa Claus at a mall. He walked around the Santa exhibit, where kids and parents stood in line to see Santa, shouting that Santa isn’t real and that Christmas is about Jesus Christ.
Atheist gets her PhD in astronomy and astrophysics and finds evidence for God ~ A wonderful testimony from a woman who found the Creator by studying His creation.
‘Luxury’ living: Senate report finds IRS workers racked up huge travel tab ~ Brings a whole new meaning to the term “public servant” ~
The IRS spent more than $1.4 million on long-term travel for just 27 employees in fiscal 2015, including on high-end car services and luxury apartment and hotel stays, a Senate report has found — with one lawmaker blasting “woefully insufficient efforts” to reduce expenses at the agency.
Iran: church retreat centre confiscated for ‘being funded by CIA’ ~ Right, a religious organization funded by the CIA is totally plausible ~
The Iranian government has assumed control of a church-owned retreat centre, accusing the church of being funded by the US government and the CIA.
The government said the retreat centre in Karaj, a city just west of Tehran, belonged to an organisation “funded by the US through the CIA spy agency to infiltrate the Islamic world, and particularly Iran, by conducting evangelistic activities”.
Article 18, a London-based NGO, says the move represents a “renewed phase” in the government’s crackdown on Protestant churches, “with intensifying efforts to confiscate remaining properties [that] belong to Evangelical churches”.
Turkey apparently thinks all Christians are spies also ~ American Pastor Andrew Brunson Wrongfully Imprisoned In Turkey ~ I mentioned this in my earlier post and bring it up again because no one else is talking about it ~
An American pastor, Andrew Brunson, has been falsely charged with “membership in an armed terrorist organization.” Turkey has imprisoned this American pastor without any evidence. He has been a Christian pastor in Turkey for the past 23 years.
Meanwhile, in Britain ~ Thousands of Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” march in London, demand caliphate ~ “Cultural enrichment” ~
The British government is indeed made up of fools, and clearly these Islamic supremacists know it, and are so confident that they can even call them fools to their face and know that no roadblocks will be placed in the path of their pursuit of a caliphate in Britain.
Marijuana Goes Mainstream: Newport Cigarettes to Introduce ‘Marijuana Cigarettes’
Although I’m a libertarian conservative myself, I do believe that this development should give us pause, not because marijuana is so dangerous (it isn’t) [That’s debatable], but because I and other libertarians have long advocated legalizing all drugs. If that results in drugs producers having the right to actively promote their product, we may have to reconsider. After all, I’m quite sure none of us want to live in a world in which heroine dealers can put up billboards telling our youth that ‘using heroine is cool!’
Voting Machines in Detroit’s Democrat Precincts Counted More Votes Than Voters… This is the real reason that the Michigan recount was quashed. All the voter fraud they thought they were going to uncover was on the Democrat side.
You Can Now Drink and Ride a Pedal Pub in Detroit ~ Just what we needed in the Motor City 😀
The Star of Bethlehem: Divine Design ~ The real astronomy behind the star that led the wise men to the King ~
Clearly among His Creation of the vast universe, the Lord God has orchestrated a symphony in the heavens using our nearest celestial bodies – the very planets of our Solar System – to herald the Birth of His Holy One. Using not one, but three planets in total, He announced His birth, led others to worship Him, and even indicated His place of residence and rearing – all according to the Scriptures.
