Give me an open ear, O God...

Give me an open ear, O God, 
that I may hear Thy voice calling me to high endeavor.

Give me an open mind, O God, 
a mind ready to receive and to welcome 
such new light of knowledge as it is Thy will to reveal to me.

Give me open eyes, O God, 
eyes quick to discover Thine indwelling 
in the world which Thou hast made.

Give me open hands, O God,
hands ready to share with all who are in want 
the blessings with which Thou hast enriched my life.

Patients Denied Medical Care, Offered Assisted Suicide Instead  Much has been written about how euthanasia in Canada has been used as a cost-saving method because it’s cheaper for the government to offer assisted dying than healthcare to disabled people.
   Canada has government-run healthcare, and the Canadian government seeks to save money by withholding care to chronically ill people, leaving many to consider euthanasia as their only choice.
   What is less known is that the same thing has been happening in the United States. Only it’s not the government that is trying to save money, but private insurance companies.

New York Could Save New Englanders $1B If It Stopped Blocking A Natural Gas Pipeline  On March 13, Trump reignited interest in the Constitution Pipeline, calling on New York to approve the project because it would create jobs and “save per family, $2,500 just on heating and another $2,500 on everything else.” He reiterated his point on Truth Social, noting, “We only need the final approval from New York State, whose people all want it,” and emphasizing he would seek “federal approval” if the state continues to block the pipeline.
   Though the president and Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul did discuss the project in a March 14 meeting, no agreement was reached. Image

How American College Campuses Became the Islamo-Leftists’ Playground   A dangerous alliance has formed between the progressive movement in the United States and radical Muslim groups, using the guise of victimhood to create an anti-American coalition. Though antisemitic and anti-Israel at its core, the ultimate goal of this Red-Green coalition is far broader: the systematic destruction of America from within.
   To accomplish its goal the movement has exploited American institutions, using democracy itself as a tool to undermine the very values that have made the United States the world’s most successful democracy. Image

Good News: More Bad News Could Be Coming for Planned Parenthood    The Trump administration has been delivering bad news to abortion giant Planned Parenthood, and now the U.S. Supreme Court may be doing so as well. Last week, as we covered at the time, it was reported that the administration was freezing tens of millions of funding for review. POLITICO also reported on Tuesday that the cuts were indeed here, with facilities receiving their notices on Monday. President Donald Trump himself also said they would be "looking into" Planned Parenthood harvesting organs from aborted babies. On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court also heard a case about South Carolina being able to defund the abortion giant via Medicaid.

The statue was meanwhile surrounded by a Palestinian flag, a Ukrainian flag, and a transgender flag.

mRNA "Vaccines" Linked to Genetic Changes That Can Cause Cancer, Autoimmune Disorders   A new peer-reviewed study links the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines to long-term changes in genetic structures that can provoke an inflammatory response, and lead to the onset of cancer and autoimmune disorders.
   The study by 19 German scientists was published last week in Molecular Systems Biology. The researchers said their findings may account for “post vaccination inflammatory diseases which occur in a small number of vaccinated individuals.”

O Lord, as long as I am apart from you...

O Lord, as long as I am apart from you, I am self-satisfied, because I have no standard by which to measure my low stature. But when I come near to you, there for the first time I see myself. In your light I behold my darkness. In your purity I behold my corruption. My very confession of sin is the fruit of holiness.
Oh! Divine Man, let me gaze on you more and more until, in the vision of your brightness, I loathe the sight of my impurity; until, in the blaze of that glory which human eye has not seen, I fall prostrate, blinded, broken, to rise a new man in you. Amen.   -George Matheson

Democrats Have Made Violence an Acceptable Part of American Life   No matter where you live, liberal mobs will see to it that you can’t express conservative ideas in public. If you decide to wear a MAGA hat, you place yourself at risk of assault. If you refuse to bow down to the demands of Black Lives Matter and Antifa, they will burn your house to the ground with you in it. My neighbor told me she was afraid to display an American flag in front of her house. This is not the same country I grew up in. The irony is that a majority of Americans voted for Donald Trump and his conservative platform.

As I’ve gotten used to this — which happened long ago, I’ve been writing morning pages for thirty years or more — I started to notice that I actually enjoy writing in longhand. The feel of the paper, the pen in my hand, the unstudied elegance of the words appearing in black ink on the white paper. If I get up in the morning in a bad mood, or feeling the effects of a short night, or if I’m worrying about something, the morning pages let me talk it out. The notebook doesn’t judge — and if you feel like you are being judged, I’ll tell you a secret. It’s you all the way down.

Even critics have noted how heavy-handed the messaging is, but the BBC is leaning into the show. Smoggie Queens is revolutionary – not in the sense that it is great art, or even good art, but in the sense that it is a deliberate attempt to subvert whatever remains of gender norms, the natural family, traditional sexual values, and any other norm you can think of. It is worth remembering, here, that this is a taxpayer-funded revolution: the BBC funds its projects through a mandatory license fee levied on British households. 
   In other words, traditional families are paying for propaganda that ruthlessly mocks their values. The revolution is top down, and taxpayer funded.

Let’s try a little test, folks. Which of these is an April Fool? Four-year-old suspended from nursery for “abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity” at an age when most small boys still happily identify as a tractor. Highly respected professor denounced and cast out by her university for stating biological facts. A family on horseback allegedly menaced by two men and the wife later summoned to the police station for describing the pair who terrified them as “effing pikeys”. A grandmother visited by plain-clothes policemen because she posted a private message criticising a Labour councillor. A builder in Bedfordshire who got a police record for racial hatred after whistling the Bob the Builder theme tune at his neighbours. OK, Bob’s treatment of Wendy could be seen as a tad misogynist, perhaps, but how is it racist? Muck the Digger – is he a member of the traveller community?
Surely, I hear you wail, that last one can’t be true? Amazing to report, but all of them happened.
