If you want to know what happens when you don’t learn after age two that the world doesn’t completely revolve around you, look no further than “neopronouns.” These are “personal” pronouns an individual chooses to express his “identity.” But don’t think this simply means an opposite-sex identity. That’s antiquated thinking — right out of 2019.

Rather, the New York Times provides a guide on the matter and asks, “Are you a person, place or thing?” before presenting neopronoun examples such as “bun/bunself,” “kitten/kittenself,” and “prin/cess/princesself.” Mine, at least right now, is besidemyself.

Have you heard the story about the engine and the caboose? The caboose doesn’t want to go where the engine is taking it, but the latter has all the energy and provides the movement. So the caboose sometimes is lighter and pulled more swiftly and sometimes is heavier and provides more resistance, but reaching the destination is a foregone conclusion — all that will vary is the arrival time.

This is a metaphor for the conservative-liberal struggle, and bringing it to mind is a recent article at Mission: America titled “Children Endangered as GOP Applauds Sexual Anarchy.”

To mask or not to mask? Do we dare ask? Wearing a face mask in response to COVID-19 is often mandated by government and has become socially expected in many situations. California goes so far as to dictate that people “must wear face coverings when they are outside of the home” — period.

Contrary opinions about these mandates or the safety of widespread masking are ignored by government and mainstream media and censored by social media. Yet there may be a reason why California politicians Governor Gavin Newsom, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senator Diane Feinstein, and others have been caught in unmasked in public in violation of the regulations they themselves advocate:

Good research has shown that there’s no evidence face masks, when worn by the general population, offer protection from coronavirus.

It seems that socialism is as profitable as ever — at least for those preaching it most loudly. There was Senator Bernie Sanders, for example, who owns three homes worth at a minimum the better part of $2 million. But the avowed Vermont socialist may seem like a piker compared to Black Lives Matter co-founder and self-proclaimed “trained Marxist” Patrisse Cullors.

While wealth can breed big egos, Bill Gates apparently doesn’t yet believe he can just wave his hand and make the sun go dark. So instead, the world’s fourth-richest man is using part of his $124 billion fortune to support research designed to “dim the sun” — all as part of a plan to combat “global warming.”

“Dim sun” may sound like a Chinese dish. But it actually describes serious Harvard University research involving the idea of spraying calcium carbonate (CaCO3) dust into the atmosphere to form a particulate shield that would reflect sunlight away from the Earth. My, what could possibly go wrong?

It’s ironic, but the agitators who complain most about “structural racism” are the very people making it a reality. The latest example is two Harvard doctors’ call for racial discrimination in the provision of medical services as part of what they label, as the title of an article they penned puts it, “An Antiracist Agenda for Medicine.” They also want federal reparations for black Americans.

“Dear God, Please help me to hate White people,” reads an entry in a bestselling new prayer book. “Or at least to want to hate them.”

Well, I guess author Chanequa Walker-Barnes, a “theologian” with a divinity degree, missed Jesus’ whole “love your enemies” prescription.

Oh, the book containing the prayer is a bestseller found at Target, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon, the last of which will ban “unwoke” works from its platform if their authors, for example, have the temerity to discuss “transgenderism” intelligently.

But A Rhythm of Prayer: A Collection of Meditations for Renewal is readily available….

It’s what can happen when media agitation helps formulate criminal charges: A lawbreaker dies of an overdose in police custody, and the officer who restrained him is overcharged and then acquitted.

Then the rabble, convinced by race hustlers and propagandists that a murder was committed and the cop’s head would be on a platter, riot, burn, and destroy. Some of this has already happened in the case of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin and the late George Floyd. The rest very well may happen.

One of the West’s biggest, though often unnoted, exports is sexual-devolutionary dogma. Africans have often lamented this, and now a prelate in Burkina Faso has appealed to Christian families to “‘rebel’ against the lobbies which advocate and want to impose same-sex marriage and libertinism” on the world, reports AIB.Media.

Cardinal Philippe Ouédraogo, metropolitan archbishop of Ouagadougou, made his remarks in his Easter vigil sermon last weekend at the Cathedral of Ouagadougou.

“‘While adopting the positive values ​​of modernity, as active agents of the future of the world, African Christian families should rebel against the imperialism of certain lobbies and associations which advocate and want to impose same-sex marriage, debauchery etc.,’ declared Cardinal Phillipe [sic] Ouédraogo,”

United Airlines’ slogan is “You can run but you can’t fly.” But now you may want to run, not fly, with news that United is prioritizing “diversity” over meritocracy in its pilot-training program. In fact, the airline aims to train 5,000 pilots by 2030, half of them women and “people of color.”
