Leftism has been on the march for more than a century at least. Yet one aspect of it, the so-called “transgender” agenda, has been on its heels lately, with millions of Americans outraged that child genital mutilation is being justified in “gender identity’s” name. Now, however, the sexual devolutionaries believe they’ve found a way to flip the script:

Applying the “Emanuelian” principle “Never let a serious crisis go to waste,” they’re using Friday’s shooting at the Colorado Springs “LGBTQ” nightclub Club Q to try to silence the Sexual Devolution’s critics. The theory, of course, is that the latter’s virtue-oriented pushback against the mutilation and sexualization of minors is inspiring violence against “LGBTQ” individuals. As House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) put it Sunday, “MAGA Republicans are cruelly undermining the safety and well-being of our transgender community.” Never mind that based on information released thus far, there’s nothing indicating that the Club Q killer, Anderson Lee Aldrich, has any deep anti-sexual devolutionary passions.

“What happens in Washington doesn’t always stay in Washington,” wrote The New York Times in a November 14 opinion piece. Author Natalia Viana, a Brazilian “investigative journalist,” could’ve been alluding to the 2000 election, after which some Democrats called President George W. Bush illegitimate; to Stacey Abrams, who repeatedly claimed she was the rightful governor of Georgia; or to the Trump-Russia-collusion hoax, whose orchestrators insisted that Putin stole the election for the 45th president. But she wasn’t.

Instead, she was claiming that supporters of Brazil’s president, Jair Bolsonaro, were mirroring Donald Trump by claiming that their October 30 run-off election — which Bolsonaro “lost” to socialist Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva by less than two percent of the vote — might have been stolen.

But the mirroring would go far beyond that, according to Bolsonaro’s son, Eduardo Bolsonaro. In fact, he says that the Brazilian election was stolen just the way the U.S.’s election was.

Here’s a scenario: Some extremists don’t like the ideas that would be expressed at an event, so they issue threats of violence via social media. The mayor and police chief of the relevant jurisdiction then shut down the event on “public safety grounds.”

If this sounds like a recipe for easily squelching speech you dislike, know that it’s also another thing:

Something that just happened, according to Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson. In fact, this is the fifth time it has occurred in just the last few weeks, he says.

“Everyone is racist regardless of skin color by definition,” wrote The Tennessean last year in a piece co-authored by an ex-Fisk University professor. Accepting this claim, often made by leftists, has been considered by many an intellectual, enlightened position. Yet a Texas middle-school teacher who made it has now been removed from his position.

It surely didn’t help — and, in fact, hurt immensely — that the unnamed educator tried cementing his point by saying, “Deep down in my heart, I am ethnocentric, which means I think my race is the superior one.”

The conversation took place at Bohls Middle School in Pflugerville, a suburb of Austin, and was caught on video, footage that later went viral.

When the Supreme Court issued the Obergefell v. Hodges opinion in 2015, which claimed that states must recognize and perform same-sex “marriages,” then-Ohio governor John Kasich said that “the court has ruled and it’s time to move on.” This reflected how even many GOP politicians were no doubt happy that judges freed them from having to take a stand on a controversial issue. Now they could just say, “Well, we tried! But the courts have ruled! Let’s talk about nation-building — overseas!”

Seven years on and sinking ever further, 12 liberal Republican senators have joined all their Democrat colleagues to advance the misnamed Respect for Marriage Act (RFMA) to their chamber’s floor for formal debate. The bill, HR 8404, would “codify” Obergefell, giving it the imprimatur of law in a move that only makes sense as a tacit admission that a SCOTUS opinion isn’t law (and, of course, it isn’t). Yet there’s something else that isn’t law, at least in spirit: an unjust law.

For this reason, judges can judge and Congress can codify copiously, but it means nothing if states simply echo Augustine of Hippo and say, lex iniusta non est lex (an unjust law is no law at all) — and will be nullified.

There’s good reason to nullify the RFMA should it become law (most likely), too. Not only is it unconstitutional, but critics claim that it poses a threat to religious liberty.

If, for argument’s sake, 90 percent of a certain crime’s perpetrators are of a given group and 90 percent of those arrested for the crime are of that group, you might call that probability. The New York Times calls it something else.

Racism.

At issue is a Wednesday Times essay titled “How Britain’s Crackdown on Gangs Disproportionately Targets Young Black Men.” It’s quite long — more than 5,000 words — yet, interestingly, it doesn’t actually explain “how” the crackdown “disproportionately” targets young black men. Rather, it focuses on the case of one particular young black man, an 18-year-old named Ademola Adedeji.

It’s a human-interest story, designed to manipulate people emotionally so that they not only believe Adedeji was targeted because of his race, but then assume likewise about all black men arrested on gang-related charges.

America may be “slouching towards Gomorrah,” as late Judge Robert Bork put it, but one Catholic archdiocese is standing up straight — very straight. Of course, the Archdiocese of Denver is simply upholding its church’s definitive teaching, but this hasn’t stopped the mainstream media from registering shock that Catholic clergymen would actually be, well, Catholic.

At issue is that the archdiocese “has told local Catholic school administrators that they should not enroll or re-enroll transgender or gender non-conforming students"….

In “My troubling COVID vaccine story experiences,” I wrote last year about how within a short period of time I met three men at the same recreational area who announced to me they’d had heart attacks. All three had previously taken the coronavirus genetic-therapy agents (GTAs, aka “vaccines”). Add the friend who suffered heart inflammation and the neighbor of mine who had an adverse reaction after having the shots, and it was quite a series of “anomalies.” I’ve had another similar experience now, too.

While in a supermarket checkout line Saturday, I got to talking to the fellow behind me, who was holding a pair of floral bouquets. He’d bought them for two different funerals. One was for his brother, who’d died of a heart attack — at age 24. The other was for a friend’s son who’d passed away. I asked him how old was the son was.

“He was in first grade,” the man replied.

“What happened to him?” I then queried. The fellow said he didn’t know, that the boy was found “dead in bed”; he’d died in his sleep.
