"Blessed are you..."

“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. -Matthew 5:11-12

The MOU “reaffirms that [Iran] shall not procure or develop nuclear weapons.” Notably, the U.S. will also start “the removal of its naval blockade and any disturbances or impediments against the Islamic Republic of Iran, and will fully end the Naval blockade within 30 days.”

American Workers Now Winning As Illegal Immigration Slows  The Trump administration's immigration crackdown was initially couched in terms of crime, as in the president's vow to expel the worst first. But we are seeing now the economic benefits of controlled immigration as well: Housing costs beginning to drop, wages beginning to rise. That's a key message for the midterms.

Woke is Striking Out—Even in San Francisco   Americans will no longer cower and kowtow to people who want to ridicule, bully, “cancel,” and ultimately exclude them in the name of “inclusion.” They have already struck out.


The Curious Case of California's 'LGBT-Owned' Business Certification Program Californians don’t need an energy system delivered by gay contractors; they need an energy system that works. Utility regulators should be in the business of regulating utilities, not verifying contractors’ sexual preferences. Companies should award contracts based on competence, quality, and cost—not the sexuality of the business owners.

It’s long past time that gays settle down. Stop asking the nation to indulge your preoccupations and preferences. They’ve come to resent it. Public opinion is now turning against the gays. After decades of climbing acceptance, approval of same-sex relations has taken a nearly 10-point dip since 2022. Support for same-sex marriage is trending downward.
   The rainbow thuggery isn’t cute anymore. 

Two Americas: Black Rednecks and Karmelo Anthony — and Civilization The greater mass of people must say, in no uncertain terms, that if you embrace this culture, we’ll have nothing to do with you. We won’t do business with you or hire you; you’ll be scorned and ostracized.

GOP moves to ‘stop climate shakedowns,’ block Democrat-led states and cities from going after oil companies  The judicial system has been "weaponized against American energy producers," Sen. Ted Cruz said.

New Inquiry Reveals the Terrifying Truth About Muslim Atrocities Against UK Girls and Women   We have learned that no fewer than 250,000 white women and girls, and likely more, were raped and tortured in the UK by "Asian grooming gangs," which is a phrase used to lead people into thinking the attackers aren't who they largely are: Muslim gang rapists.
   We learned that former Prime Minister Tony Blair exacerberated what was already a problem by importing millions of Muslims throughout the UK. Keir Starmer, then the director of public prosecutions, let 13,000 gang rapists and pedophiles walk out of court with nothing more than a strongly worded warning. All the while, London Mayor Sadiq Khan, a Muslim, pretended the crimes weren't happening.

The Media's Silence on the recently published Rape Gang Inquiry: Fake News by Omission  ...the silence is deafening and Google seems to be suppressing searches related to the report: independent and crowd funded and organised by Restore Britain. A final insult to victims.

Yet there is one place where Pride remains dominant: progressive parishes in the Church of England. Wandering back to my hotel from a visit to Hatchards bookshop, I was struck by a church noticeboard advertising not merely a month of Pride-affirming liturgics but a whole year’s worth. A Q&A with “the next generation of queer priests” in March (tickets available for a mere £5); a queer movie night in April; an evening of LGBTQ questions for clergy in May, followed by a screening of the film Pride; a Pride service in June; a drag performance and then another queer service in July; a Drag Sports Day in August; another Pride service in September; an evening denouncing conversion therapy in October; another queer movie night in November; and in December, a queer Christmas Carol Service where the public is invited to join the congregation to “celebrate the Nativity through song, blending its beauty with iconic queer anthems—from Cher to Ariana, Bowie to Gaga—for a truly unforgettable night.” A month is clearly not enough for this parish as it hijacks the rainbow from God’s promise to Noah and attaches it to human confusion for a whole year.

Three U.S. states have introduced legislation targeting COVID-19 mRNA injections  A major political and medical controversy is gaining national attention after lawmakers in three U.S. states introduced legislation related to COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.
   The proposals, introduced in Minnesota, Tennessee, and Arizona, are drawing intense debate among lawmakers, medical professionals, researchers, and citizens across the country.
   Supporters of the legislation argue that serious questions remain about the safety, oversight, and long-term effects of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign.
