We discussed the rapid decline in Christian belief in the U.S., what's causing it, and some of the phenomenon's implications.

“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon,” counseled leftist icon Saul Alinsky. “It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.” This advice might’ve been vindicated by the recent behavior of some politically correct university researchers who reacted to student mockery of their “gender” survey by going into full-melting-snowflake mode.

When global-warming alarmists, or anyone else, say “The debate is over,” it usually means they’re out of arguments. But now some climate-change activists want to make sure they’ll be out of opponents, too — by throwing them in prison.

The latest individual to suggest such is European politician Angelo Bonelli, an MP who is co-leader of Italy’s Green Europe party.

Is the Biden administration trying to make the U.S. armed forces the Bud Light of world militaries? Some may thus wonder given recent developments. After all, first the administration intensified military wokeness with its focus on sexual devolutionary (“LGBTQ+”) agendas, which some blame for the Army’s and other branches’ recruitment shortfalls. Apropos to this, there later was news that the Army was exempting “trans” members from fitness standards (because, of course, what does not looking like Jabba the Hut’s little brother have to do with effective soldiering?) Now there’s this:

Army Secretary Christine Wormuth, who cut her teeth as a Clinton intern, worries that relying too much on military families for new recruits could create a “warrior caste.”

Instead, “The Army is strategically deploying recruiters to communities across the country based on demographics, ethnicity, race, and gender,” Wormuth recently wrote.

My, it’s now clear why Senator John Kennedy (R-La.) once said that “the Biden Administration, I’ve observed, never makes the same mistake twice.”

“They make it five or six times just to be sure.”

In 2020, a Black Lives Matter organizer characterized looting as “reparations” and claimed that labeling someone a criminal was “based on racism.” Now a writer has echoed this, insisting in a recent piece that the only solution to “white supremacism” is to “take things from white people.” Worse still, Yahoo! News decided to republish the article, thus giving it vast exposure.

The piece, bluntly titled “Take things from white people,” was authored by an angry man named Michael Harriot and originally published at the grio. It’s essentially a very long rant that opens with the question, “What is the opposite of backlash?” The author then complains about the Supreme Court’s recent affirmative action decision and writes….

So whites would get more prison time, blacks and Hispanics less (and Asians? Who knows?) for the same crime. This may, unbelievably, be the idea behind a new bill making its way through the California Legislature. So much for equality under the law.

We discussed the attack on the film Sound of Freedom and the Left's attempt to legitimize pedophilia. I think you'll find a certain quotation I present from the mainstream media, well, let's say, interesting. 

My segment begins at 29:28.

It’s funny how humans will go from one extreme to another. There were reports in recent years of parents taking their children to measles– or chicken-pox “parties” so as to get the kids infected and the disease “over with.” On the other hand, there are people who believed that with Covid-19, they could somehow avoid the virus forever if they just masked and inoculated and distanced and made avoiding a specific pathogen their life’s mission. But one prominent Covid-ritualist physician might have just learned that as with a bully who’s intent on finding you, you can run, but you can’t hide.

Bob Wachter, M.D. is a bigwig at the University of California San Francisco, the chairman of the school’s Department of Medicine. So he has some influence over government policy, which he used to advocate mask and gene-modification-agent (GMA, aka “vaccine”) mandates. Unlike California pols Governor Gavin Newsom, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Representative Nancy Pelosi, and others, however, Wachter apparently practiced what he preached: He’d been masking and boosting with religious-like zeal even after most Americans had stopped worrying about Covid. The result?

Wachter just contracted the virus — and ended up in the hospital.

The new film Sound of Freedom, whose theme is child sex trafficking, has opened to plaudits and, from the Left, perturbation. Perhaps the latter reaction to a work exposing minors’ molestation is not surprising, though, given that far too accepted today is another kind of child molestation: of the mind.

A New York father recently brought an example of this to light, too, angrily relating a story about how his nine- and seven-year-old sons were just taken to their pediatrician — and her first question to the older lad was whether he “identifies as a boy, a girl, gender fluid, or non-binary.”

The livid father pointed out that his sons had never even heard of these (unscientific and made-up) notions before and wondered if the physician was trying to plant a “seed” in the boy’s head.

What’s more, the dad states that there’s no question the doctor would’ve asked the same question of his younger son as well — had his wife not been present and intervened.

The youngest officer to command a vessel in U.S. naval history, it may shock most to learn, was 12-year-old David Farragut, who served as a prize master in 1812. Such a reality certainly is incongruent with our age, in which 15-year-olds wile away hours playing video games and youth irresponsibility is rife. Mankind’s norm has been for kids to assume adult roles early, however, with the idealization of childhood being a modern phenomenon. But is this “Cult of Childhood,” as one writer put it, actually hurting children? And if “work ennobles man,” as the saying goes, can it also ennoble a man-child?

The left-wing Nation’s Steve Fraser apparently doesn’t think so, and he claims that loosening teen labor laws is partially responsible for a situation he frames in a title thus: “Child Labor in America Is Back—and It’s As Chilling as Ever.” Yet what’s perhaps more chilling is media malpractice that, in Fraser’s case, takes the form of conflating perhaps prudent labor-law reform with the illegal exploitation of migrant minors — and then blaming it all on “capitalism.”
