Charity is a paradox, like modesty and courage...

“If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. -Luke 6:32-35

Charity is a paradox, like modesty and courage. Stated baldly, charity certainly means one of two things—pardoning unpardonable acts, or loving unlovable people.  -GK Chesterton

Netherlands Allows Euthanizing Newborn Babies, Canada Could be Next  Yet the Netherlands already permits euthanasia for newborns under the Groningen Protocol. In such cases, doctors may authorize euthanasia if the infant is deemed to be experiencing unbearable suffering with no hope of improvement, and with parental consent. However, such assessments are inherently subjective.

   Notably, the nature of this debate is not limited to Canada and the Netherlands. Globally, an increasing number of national policies are permitting the intentional ending of lives for the medically vulnerable – those who cannot advocate for themselves. The underlying justification is often malleable, serving as a standard used to permit the termination of life both before and after birth.

Not so toxic: Masculinity’s comeback makes America thrive  Now, with Trump’s administration working to turn all that around, no surprise they’re accused of running a cult of masculinity.

   Well, it’s certainly a sharp contrast to Biden administration figures like “Rachel” Levine, the distinctly unhealthy-looking transwoman who headed the Public Health Service.

   Or such clearly non-combat-ready figures as former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, who looked as if the greatest threat they’d pose to our enemies would have been sitting on them. Image

The Graveyard of Destructive Ideas-VD Hanson   

How do destructive ideas and bouts of collective madness so quickly become policy, law, and the status quo? After all, most have little public support—and are not Western nations supposedly rationally governed?

   There is usually a multi-step process on the road to these self-destructive fits of society-wide insanity.

   The suicidal impulse so often begins with left-leaning researchers in elite universities (i.e., the tenured in search of a novel, grant-getting theory). They begin insisting that a new existential threat requires immediate government intervention, novel legislation, ample funding, and public awareness of the impending danger.

Gov. Newsom Frees the Worst Child Rapists in America 

Gov. Gavin Newsom, like other California politicians, including Rep. Ro Khanna, have tried to exploit the Epstein case, but California Democrats have paved the way for the release of abusers who make Epstein look like Mother Teresa, monsters who abused little girls and boys, who used knives and weapons, who made them bleed and locked up victims for years
