Feminized America. (regarding the parts that are) By JAG December 27,2021 Emasculated and Intellectualized too. (large swaths of America are) Males CAN become feminized, emasculated, and intellectualized ~ whole nations of males can become weak and whipped to their knees by Niceness. "Pale Ebenezer thought it wrong to fight, But Roaring Bill (who killed him) thought it right." __Hilaire Belloc Entire nations/civilizations can intellectualize their way into history's ever expanding graveyard of rotting death. Effete intellectualism ~ a life of thought instead of a life of action, puts in mortal danger every nation/civilization that surrenders to it. There is a...

he old, sloping Jewish cemetery in Haditch, Ukraine, is one of those rare windows into the past. Look out from the hilltop, as I did recently, and a vista nearly unchanged in two centuries opens up below. During the winter you’ll see a frozen, grassy clearing dotted with barren birch trees descending to the banks of the placid Psel River. There, at the bottom and to the right, sits the original red brick mausoleum of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi (1745-1812), the Alter Rebbe. The founder of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement, Rabbi Schneur Zalman lived and taught in White Russia...

Finnish Christians were not allowed inside the church this year unless they had taken the mRNA vaccination for the coronavirus.So they stood outside and sang their own Christmas songs.What a sad but lovely moment. How awful for the priests and pastors to be so hateful on this blessed holiday. Several churches this year designated sections for vaccinated and unvaccinated. That was a better answer.According to Henna Maria this church is in Oulu, Finland.Commenter Rita added: it was never about an outer temple or figure anyway… the living temple is within our hearts – the greatest light, music and warmth are...

In fact, Christmastime displays featuring Baphomet, a Festivus pole and everything from soup to nuts to the nutty do perfectly represent our age’s spirit. What does it say about a civilization when it feels compelled to place a satanic display next to baby Jesus at Christmastime? As a general question, you can answer that for yourself. But among other things, in our case it means too many Americans — including judges — wouldn’t know the Constitution from the Communist Manifesto. The story here is that the baby Baphomet, a goat-like creature worshiped by satanists, has been placed alongside a Christmas...

What makes us will not break us! Jesus gave models for us to be able to live and be compatible with other people and to Himself. With the model of Communion, Jesus told us to “do this until I return”. We are to examine ourselves to see if we have been harboring grudges, have been unforgiving, have been short tempered or if we have been doubting that God loves us. We are to admit the harmful or the sinful to God the Father and to those we may have offense with or to; we are to bring those to the...

SAVANNAH, GA—After exhausting all options to fulfill their children’s Christmas wish lists and coming up short, Leonard and Mildred Fuller have admitted defeat. “The shelves are empty and shipping is backed up. Looks like we might have to just celebrate God coming to earth to save our souls. Brutal!" Instead of brief dopamine hits from presents, the Fuller family will reportedly go to church with some friends, which is expected to be super lame. “A Christmas service will be fine and all but - can you play Zelda there? No. But I drove to literally 17 stores looking for a...

Or so we believed. As a child growing up in the Westboro Baptist Church—you may have known us as the “God Hates Fags” protestors—I never much minded my family’s ideological separatism. The church was my world: my grandfather founded it, my mother was its spokesperson, and everyone I loved was deeply committed to its vision. In practice this meant that from the age of five, my holiday season consisted primarily of a series of protests on cold winter evenings. My extended family and I would hold signs condemning Christmas idolatry, planting ourselves on sidewalks outside of Christmas concerts, church services,...

Very sad how the birth of our Savior is presented commercially and on television. I see no 'Jesus in the Manger' pictures anywhere. Just references to Santa Claus, buying gifts and parties. What happened to singing carols? Like this: https://www.bing.com/search?q=home+free+o%27+holy+night&FORM=QSRE7

The BLM mission goes much deeper than boycotts. Black Lives Matter (BLM) is urging a boycott of “white” businesses. The official Black Xmas website urges “No spending with White corporations” and “buy exclusively from Black-owned businesses” until Jan. 1. It’s the seventh year BLM has proffered this perversion of the ecumenical spirit of Christmas. Racism begets racism. The ugly racism of the BLM message invites the retaliation to buy only from white-owned businesses. Thus do racist directives make for a society more segregated, intolerant, and angry. Racism always moves in that direction. Let’s establish first principles. In a free-market capitalist...

The Archbishop of Canterbury has suggested that Jesus would get vaccinated against Covid. The Most Rev Justin Welby urged people to get jabbed, saying it is a moral issue. He also issued a thinly-veiled criticism of No10 saying he felt ‘real disappointment and sadness’ at seeing photos of Downing Street staff eating cheese and drinking wine during the first lockdown. In an interview with ITV News At Ten, the archbishop said getting vaccinated ‘is not about me and my rights’. ‘It’s about how I love my neighbour. Vaccination reduces my chances of getting ill and reducing my chances of getting...

After getting a stage four metastatic colon cancer diagnosis, this 92-year-old immediately began planning to do his favorite things for the last time, including one more meal at the beloved Lower East Side institution Katz’s Delicatessen. “This pilgrimage to the temple of pastrami was among a handful of items on the bucket list that my father, Rabbi Israel S. Dresner, drew up within 24 hours of the doctors telling him last month that he would not make it to his 93rd birthday in April,” wrote Avi Dresner to in a moving essay about the recent bittersweet afternoon he brought his...

01 Scrupulosity, also known as Religious OCD, is a subtype of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in which people experience debilitating obsessions and compulsions about their faith. 02 Jamie's struggles with scrupulosity began in childhood. By high school, she was experiencing intense spiritual anxiety that wouldn’t be diagnosed as OCD for 11 years. 03 Jamie thought her intrusive thoughts were the voice of the Holy Spirit, which validated their contents and gave them control over her sense of morality. 04 At the age of 26, she finally received a proper diagnosis and sought help. While healing, she has been able to hang...

When one thinks about the incomparable C. S. Lewis one normally thinks about the great Christian apologist that he was, or the author of famous children’s books, or the celebrated professor of English literature. One does not usually think of him as one who spoke or wrote much about political matters. But he did. Scattered throughout his writings are various discussions about political matters, democracy, freedom, equality, law and justice, tyranny and the like. From talks he had given, or essays he had written, political matters quite often appear in the Lewis corpus. And they are fully relevant for the...

‘‘Tis the season to post my favorite Christmas flash mob video.

Recently, I went home again, to Rochester, N.Y. It had been a while, but, venturing back for family reasons, I took the opportunity to visit my high-school alma mater, Aquinas Institute, from which I graduated in 1972... Long held in high regard locally, Aquinas is a Roman Catholic school founded over a century ago, named after, and based on the teachings of, the learned saint, the “Angelic Doctor.” While a student there, I had the singular good fortune of being mentored by Bishop Fulton J. Sheen. Famous for his national television show, Life Is Worth Living, the great patriot and...

Students at Emory University have been told that their Christmas decorations are a violation of school policy. According to Campus Reform, members of the school’s Alpha Tau Omega fraternity were told on December 3 that their Christmas wreath hanging in front of their residence was a violation of school policy that would require an incident report.... ...Van Inwegen says that ATO is unaware they were following an outdated policy because a Google search directed students to an old set of rules that did not mention Christmas decorations. "There are no lights, decoration hung on light fixtures, or any other conceivable...

Chicago, Illinois – St. Luke’s Lutheran Church of Logan Square hosted a “drag queen prayer hour” for children last weekend.According to the Lutheran church’s Facebook post, “Seminarian Aaron Musser” preached in drag to children as part of “a dress rehearsal for joy.”Also known as grooming.“Today, we consider what it might be like to have a dress rehearsal for the kind of joy awaiting us on the other side of Advent. It’s been so hard to know what that joy will be, because it’s been so long since some of us have been joyful. It’s been a difficult and tiring couple...
