Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
‘Abomination’: Priest poses with drag queens in sanctuary of Catholic Church ~ More evidence of a subculture of perversion hiding in plain sight ~
GRAN CANARIA, Spain, August 1, 2018 – A priest in the Canary Islands posed with drag queens in the sanctuary of a Catholic church after letting the men use the church rectory as a temporary dressing room […]
(Fr. Fernando Báez posed) in the midst of almost a dozen garishly dressed drag queens, all of them standing directly in front of the holy altar. The photo is framed to include in the background a large cross on which is hanging a figure of Jesus.
Utter blasphemy.
U.S. announces immediate end to UNRWA funding ~ This is excellent news! As I pointed out earlier this year, this has been an extortion scam all along. Billions of dollars that are supposed to aid the Palestinian people end of in the coffers of their corrupt, terrorist leaders.
As an added bonus, this move will of course infuriate all the right people 
~
“The administration has carefully reviewed the issue and determined that the United States will not make additional contributions to UNRWA,” the State Department said in a statement. “When we made a US contribution of $60 million in January, we made it clear that the United States was no longer willing to shoulder the very disproportionate share of the burden of UNRWA’s costs that we had assumed for many years.
“Beyond the budget gap itself and failure to mobilize adequate and appropriate burden sharing, the fundamental business model and fiscal practices that have marked UNRWA for years– tied to UNRWA’s endlessly and exponentially expanding community of entitled beneficiaries– is simply unsustainable and has been in crisis mode for many years,” it continued. “The United States will no longer commit further funding to this irredeemably flawed operation.”
The IVF Needle Baby; darling meme, troubling theme ~ A picture of a tiny baby, surrounded by hypodermic needles, which supposedly represent the number of times a lesbian couple attempted to conceive the child through in-vitro fertilization. What a sad statement on today’s me-first culture ~
Not only are the ethical questions created by the technology buried by this picture, so are the culture-wide assumptions that animate our current technologies. I often talk about how marriage, sex, and babies are a “package” deal as created by God and recognized throughout human history until just recently. The main idea of the sexual revolution has been to divorce sex, marriage and babies.
As cute and eternally valuable as the baby in the picture is, the image represents a final stage of that divorce. What started as the divorce of sex from marriage by untethering sex from babies has led to the separation of babies from marriage, and now, through our technologies, the divorce of babies from sex.
Muslim Doctors Without Borders nurse shoots at Israeli troops on Gaza border ~ I think it was Alan Dershowitz who referred to the NGO as doctors-without-morals Exactly so ~
“Hani Al-Almajdalawi, who tried to infiltrate through the security fence in the northern Gaza Strip while he was armed with a rifle, opened fire toward military forces and even threw an explosive device at them,” it said.
COGAT said Almajdalawi was “a nurse who worked for the international organization Doctors Without Borders.”
“Was” being the operative word. The Israelis have zero tolerance for this sort of provocation.
Gohmert doubles down after FBI dismisses claim of Clinton server hack ~ Louie Gohmert (R-TX)- is one of the few D.C. politicians actually looking out for the country’s best interests. Good luck with that. Especially when it comes to the Clintons ~
(T)he FBI was notified of the purported hack in 2015, when the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) warned the bureau of the intrusion. The hack reportedly implanted code that generated a “courtesy copy” for almost all Clinton’s emails — which was then forwarded to the Chinese company.
A major national security breach!
“It’s not surprising that the FBI ‘has not found any evidence’ regarding Clinton’s servers being breached,” Gohmert, R-Texas, said. “It was the Obama-appointed Intelligence Community Inspector General that discovered the breach. It was not the FBI that found it, so their statement was technically correct, but very deceptive in its omission.”
Arrest of Iranian Spies in U.S. Just ‘Tip of the Iceberg,’ Lawmaker Warns ~ Thanks to all that cash Obama handed them, Iran has been able to fund spying operations – on U.S. soil. Just more of BHO’s legacy of treachery ~
Following the arrest of two Iranian individuals charged with spying on Jewish and Israeli facilities in the California area, Rep. Peter Roskam (R., Ill.) told the Free Beacon it is likely Iran has stationed multiple regime-tied agents in the United States to conduct intelligence operations. […]
Iran has been emboldened by the lack of international repercussions on its malevolent behavior and may have increased its intelligence operations in America in the years since the landmark nuclear deal, (Roskam) said.
New York Times Op-Ed Unwittingly Reveals Exactly How Google Bias Hurts Conservatives ~ The tech giant’s algorithms inherently slant Left ~
The problem is that Google’s algorithm, based on public perception as it is, skews in a liberal direction — not due to some massive conspiracy, but because the search engine tried to fight “fake news,” and ended up quashing the disruptive new media outlets that were bringing balance to online discourse.
Networks Punt on Lanny Davis Blowing Huge Hole in CNN’s Trump Tower Collusion Story ~ Just the latest episode in the ongoing circus the mainstreams are running of “Look here! Russian Collusion! Oh. Never mind.”
Gay Utah Republican says LGBTQ suicide rates are linked to high numbers of sex partners ~ But not everyone welcomes brutal honesty, even if it means saving lives
The communications director for the Salt Lake County Republican Party has been heavily criticized after telling The Salt Lake Tribune that suicide rates in the LGBTQ community may be linked to gay men’s promiscuity and a high number of sex partners.
Uppsala Has Fallen ~ Poor Sweden. Apparently an Islamic no-go zone has swallowed an entire city ~
The ancient city of Uppsala, the fourth-largest in Sweden with roots going back to Viking times, has fallen. Earlier this week, August 23 2018, Uppsala police announced that they are no longer in control, and criminal gangs have taken over the city […]
According to ex-police chief Eliasson, police resources are overwhelmed by out-of-control immigration, gang shootings and crime, and “many in Swedish society do not fully realize how troubling the situation is.”
‘Burning Man’ Is America’s Largest Religious Gathering ~ Reverting to paganism ~
Seventy thousand weirdos descend on the Nevada desert this week to bump uglies, welter in filth, and worship Moloch during America’s largest annual religious gathering: Burning Man. The festival began as a summer solstice bonfire ritual in 1986, when Bay Area artists “spontaneously” burned an eight-foot-tall wooden man, as well as a smaller wooden dog, in effigy […]
The ritual mirrored an identical ancient Druidic sacrifice described by Julius Caesar in his Commentary on the Gallic War, though Burning Man’s founders claim ignorance as to the custom’s origin. Today that solstice bonfire has grown into a week-long, annual bacchanal of sex, drugs, and pagan spirituality.
This Week at War: ISIS’s Worst Nightmare ~ More welcome news. Unencumbered by Obama’s progressive ideology, our military kicks butt! ~
U.S. military airstrikes against terrorist groups in Afghanistan have reached the highest level in nearly a decade, according to the Military Times.
