It’s a twofer for the leftists running the federal government; they hawk up a loogie and spit it in the face of both regular Americans and Christians worldwide with a single belligerent, juvenile, disgusting, anti-American, blasphemous, and — to put it mildly — divisive gesture. Under Democrat rule, Old Glory no longer represents the USA. A flag symbolizing homosexual degeneracy, transsexual psychosis, and antiwhite racism does:

Compounding the insult is the lie that militant perverts — who call the shots in our country or this flag would not be flying — are somehow oppressed. Either our liberal rulers think we are so dumb we would believe this, or they despise us enough to tell obvious lies to our faces. Also implied is an accusation that the Catholic Church persecutes degenerates by not embracing the LGBT lifestyle with sufficient zeal.

A few relevant facts for context:

• They call it the “Pride” flag. Pride is one of the Seven Deadly Sins in the Christian religion. Depraved lust, which the flag actually represents, is another of the sins.

• The flag is based on the rainbow in an arrogantly blasphemous appropriation from Christianity. The rainbow represents God’s covenant with mankind that He will never again punish us for our sins by flooding the world.

• Next Tuesday is D-Day. American heroes died on that day so that flags could fly that represent freedom, not a warped ideology centered on debauchery.

Daily Caller adds more context:

The Biden administration began a “worldwide effort” in 2021 to fly Pride flags at embassies around the world. Then-White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in 2021 the president has used “the power of the bully pulpit in his presidency to convey that transgender rights are human rights.”

Democrats certainly know how to put the bully into bully pulpit.

Note that the concept of human rights has been distorted out of recognition, the better to erode it.

Living under the rule of these creeps is not tolerable. They are desecrating our country.

To see what progressives are progressing toward, look beyond California, beyond even South Africa, to the place where leftists have achieved uncontested control — North Korea:

A two-year-old child and the toddler’s entire family have been sentenced to life in prison in North Korea after the parents were caught with a Bible in their possession.

The parents of the young child were sentenced to death.

According to the U.S. State Department, the two-year-old infant and other family members were sent to grueling prison camps.

At least they will be in good company there:

According to a new International Religious Freedom Report by the State Department, as many as 70,000 Christians are currently imprisoned in North Korea.

A majority of documented victims of the North Korean war on religion are women or girls. They are subject to sexual abuse and torture, because as in Hollywood,

Christians are regarded as on the lowest rung of North Korean society…

Let’s check in on the USA’s progress relative to the North Korean gold standard for moonbattery:

The Biden administration is doling out taxpayer money through an anti-terrorism grant initiative to a university program that has explicitly lumped the Republican Party, as well as Christian and conservative groups, into the same category as Nazis…

DHS’s Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program (TVTP) provides funds to various public, private, and non-profit institutions — such as universities and county governments — “to establish or enhance capabilities to prevent targeted violence and terrorism.”

“Terrorism” as defined by Democrats includes Catholicism, as the FBI has repeatedly confirmed.

Note that the logo of the Christian Broadcasting Network can be found among others representing groups that have been targeted for marginalization, demonization, and eventual eradication by the tolerant open-minded liberals who rule over us:

North Korea is only a couple of elections (or a packed Supreme Court) away.

With liberals in the driver’s seat, news themes intersect at the point of absolute moonbattery. Take for example the themes of Biden’s comically inappropriate identity-based staffing choices (e.g., Kamala Harris for being a Woman of Color, Pete Buttigieg for being a sexual deviant, Karine Jean-Pierre for being both) and the leftist politicization of professional sports. These stories converge in the personage of the cross-dressing kleptomaniac Sam Brinton:

Joe Biden’s former nuclear waste czar, who in his off-hours liked to steal women’s luggage and then pose for selfies in their clothing, has another underreported entry on his curriculum vitae. Sam Brinton is also a member of the L.A. Dodgers’ favorite anti-Catholic political group, whose members dress up as drag nuns and mock Christ–and whose slogan is “go and sin some more.”

Presenting the guy Creepy Joe gave authority over nuclear waste in his natural — or should I say unnatural — milieu:

Blessedly, Brinton has finally been put in a cage where he belongs. If only we could say the same for Creepy Joe.

Before the Biden Administration named him to be a key contributor at the nuclear waste division at the Department of Energy, Brinton appeared on the show of a drag queen nun of the Boston branch of the Sisters and talked about his life and drag nun persona — Sister Ray Dee O’Active (get it?).

This reflects the type of people we have in charge under Democrat rule.

Even if Sam doesn’t get to stay in the ladies’ jail, at least it should cheer him up that the Los Angeles Dodgers caved to the woke mob so that the ceremony revering the explicitly blasphemous Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is back on.

Transgressing moonbats can still be forced to step back, even in New York City, where the Church of St. Paul the Apostle has removed a display characterizing God as transsexual:

TheBlaze previously reported that the liberal-leaning parish featured a display entitled “God is Trans: A Queer Spiritual Journey” next to the altar.

The display consisted of several paintings by Adah Unachukwu that supposedly mapped “the queer spiritual journey by three significant points: Sacrifice, Identity, and Communion.”

The display informed parishioners that “There is no devil.” Actually, there is a Devil, and he has infiltrated churches under the guise of political correctness. Pushback must be forceful and sustained, or Christianity will be subordinated to moonbattery just as the media and education establishments have been.

Manhattan’s Church of St. Paul the Apostle has already fallen:

The church, which is run by the Paulist Fathers, runs a ministry called “Out at St. Paul,” which the parish’s website says is “our ministry and outreach to the Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Trans, and Queer community.”

The ministry has a website and a Facebook page. “The love of God affirms trans kids, protects trans kids, listens to trans kids, fights for trans kids, delights in trans kids,” reads the description of one featured photo.

Soon the same rhetoric will be applied to small children who can only be who they are by engaging in gay sex with adults.

Some sanity remains. The blasphemous display has been removed and the Archdiocese of New York is investigating. Let’s hope the church is restored to Christian hands and reconsecrated.

The leftists who dominate Europe are not indifferent to decency, virtue, and morality, but rather openly hostile. This has been made explicit at an art exhibit in the European Union Parliament building in Brussels:

The artwork, a series of photographs by lesbian Swedish photographer Elisabeth Ohlson, includes one of a man who is meant to represent Christ wearing a white robe and a halo made out of stars above his head. The man is surrounded by seven men who are wearing leather-based fetish clothing associated with BDSM fetishism.

Ohlson said the photographs are meant to depict Christ supporting homosexual rights.

Homosexuals/transsexuals are the most privileged group in modern society. No one needs to support homosexual rights. That would be like supporting gravity. When libs say “homosexual rights,” what they mean is “homosexual activity.”

Even most moonbats know that Christ came to redeem us from sin, not to encourage us to wallow in it. That’s why they get a thrill of transgression from excretions like Ohlson’s.

The exhibit … kicked off with a reception hosted by Malin Björk, a member of the European Parliament for the Swedish Left Party.

Glorification of sexual depravity and blasphemous desecration of Christianity are two sides of the same coin. It is the coin of the realm among leftists.

Ohlson demonstrates how to get mediocre artwork promoted by the liberal establishment:

The artist has a history of making blasphemous artwork that goes back decades. Starting in 1998, she toured Sweden with an exhibition called Ecce Homo, which contained several blasphemous depictions of Christ that promoted homosexuality, transgenderism, and BDSM fetishism. The exhibit was displayed in numerous churches that are in communion with the Lutheran Church of Sweden.

Beware fallen churches. The Church of Sweden is no longer Christian.

Thanks to moonbattery, this is what Europe has to offer now, in place of Leonardo da Vinci:

The Biden Regime has it in for Catholics, who continue to be targeted by the FBI. Now it has issued an ultimatum to the top-rated Catholic hospital network in Oklahoma, demanding the removal of a sanctuary candle:

Saint Francis Hospital South in Tulsa, OK, has kept the candle in question for fifteen consecutive years. The non-profit Saint Francis Health System, which runs the hospital, has kept the tradition of hospital chapels, complete with active sanctuary candles, since they were established in 1960. The network also operates the nearby St. Francis Hospital, which is the largest hospital in the state of Oklahoma.

The federal government never gives away our money for free. Every inflated penny comes with strings attached. Once people become dependent on it, the money becomes leverage to enforce tyrannical demands.

Saint Francis Hospital South, which serves much of the southeastern Tulsa area, is faced with losing accreditation to serve recipients of Medicare, Medicaid, or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), if the Catholic organization does not comply with the administration’s demand.

Attorney Lori Windham sent a letter pleading with HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra to be merciful and not deny low-income patients life-saving healthcare.

Becerra is a self-described “committed Catholic.”

Yeah right. So is the radical abortion and transsexuality advocate Joe Biden. Democrats have only one religion; it is not Christianity.

The attack on First Amendment religious liberty is blatant:

“The Code of Canon Law requires that wherever the Blessed Sacrament is kept, a special lamp must shine continuously,” [Windham] writes. Therefore, if the candle is to be removed, in order to comply with Church doctrine, the Blessed Sacrament must be as well.

I thought the pretext might be global warming, but apparently Democrats are framing it as a safety hazard. If this flies, they might ban communion wafers in case someone chokes on one.

With today’s Democrats, politics is not just a matter of squabbling over policy. We are defending freedom from tyranny, good from evil.

Sexual deviants used to tell us they just wanted to be left alone to live their lives. Then they gained political power, compliments of the liberal establishment. Leaving people alone is no longer on the agenda. There is to be no refuge from LGBTism, even in Christian schools.

Villanova is a Catholic university — and yet:

Jennifer Joyce teaches the Core Literature and Writing Seminar Class at Villanova, ENG 1975-020, titled Narratives of Belonging in Contemporary Irish Literature. The specific class is one of several options for students who are required to take the core seminar, though students may be forced to take the class if the other class options have been filled.

On Tuesday, Joyce led discussions of the play “Scorch” by Stacey Gregg.

The play advocates transgenderism and includes a homosexual sex scene involving minors.

A student reports being…

“…uncomfortable throughout the whole discussion as the teacher offered no opportunity for dissent and was oblivious to the members of the class who were clearly [made] uncomfortable by this transgender sex scene.”

Not reading the material would result in failing a quiz.

Meanwhile Baylor, the largest Baptist university, hosted an extravaganza called Queer Sex Ed.

Check out the Planned Parenthood logo in the corner of an ad for the event. Planned Parenthood snuffed out 383,460 lives last year. This is about as Christian as a satanic black mass.

Villanova and Baylor have been infiltrated and subverted, in accordance with progressive strategy.

By now we’re familiar with the leftist motto, “The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.” The question is, which revolution?

Many have assumed that the revolution progressives are progressing toward is along the lines of Russia’s. But the obsession with abortion, sexual depravity, and corruption of children suggests a hell even darker than what Lenin and Stalin inflicted.

The revolution from above imposed by our liberal establishment was not described by Alexander Solzhenitsyn in the Gulag Archipelago. It was described by John Milton in Paradise Lost. The original revolutionary was the Devil.

The reason it is useless to argue with leftists is that they are not wrong; they are evil. No wonder the establishment canceled him; Tucker Carlson gets it:

Even if he isn’t trying to make a partisan point, if good is order, peace, and cleanliness, and evil is violence, hate, disorder, division, disorganization, and filth, nobody who wants good will support the party that has reduced American cities to cutthroat cesspools and promotes Critical Race Theory and Black Lives Matter.

Leftists have been trying to stamp out Christianity since the French Revolution, when moonbats “suppressed the Church, abolished the Catholic monarchy, nationalized Church property, exiled 30,000 priests, and killed hundreds more.” But it’s like playing Whac-a-Mole. You smack it down in one country (e.g., by imposing a $1.2 million fine for not complying with Covid hysteria) and it pops up in another — sometimes where you might least expect it:

The Rev. Johnnie Moore, a member of the U.S. Commission on Religious Freedom, says, “I not only predict the conversion of China to Christianity — it’s much further along than people realize and than the Chinese want to admit. And they’re underestimating it.”

Conservative estimates put the number of Christians at around 100 million.

But Moore believes the number could be as high as 150 million or even 175 million.

Despite generations of repression, there are probably more Christians behind the Bamboo Curtain than there are in blue states in the USA, a traditionally Christian nation.

The leftists running China are reacting to the growth of Christianity just the way Democrats will once they have the political leverage:

In China, some 2,000 church spires and crosses have been torn down. Pastors have been locked up. Bibles have been confiscated.

Bibles have even been rewritten to create more allegiance to the government rather than to Jesus. And hi-tech AI surveillance is meant to intimidate and coerce believers into submission.

Not good enough, ChiCommies. The maniacs conducting the Reign of Terror couldn’t stamp it out. Stalin couldn’t stamp it out. Not even the powerful LGBT lobby can stamp it out, despite employing violence.

Says Moore, “As one theologian once said, five or six centuries ago, the church is an anvil which has worn out many a hammer. And that’s definitely what’s happening in China.”

There may always be moonbattery. But there will also always be hope.

The FBI pretended to back off when a whistleblower revealed that it targets Catholics as thought criminals. But sunlight only works as a disinfectant when applied relentlessly. Robert Spencer reports that the Deep State roaches are out from under the oven, antennae a-twitching:

In November 2021, FBI and Homeland Security Department officials increased investigations of “domestic extremists,” reiterating the claim that they are today’s foremost terror threat.

Black Lives Matter rioters and the recent profusion of mass-murdering transgender maniacs do not count as “domestic extremists,” because you are not considered extreme if you share the Regime’s ideology. Consequently…

…there just weren’t enough “domestic violent extremists” to match the hysterical rhetoric, and so the FBI actually resorted to pressuring agents to inflate domestic extremism numbers, and even to fabricate such cases.

That imperative, plus the burning hatred that Catholic Joe’s regime clearly has for all forms of traditional Christianity and above all for pro-lifers, may have led to the fact that, as Fox News reported Monday, the FBI “recently sought to develop sources inside Christian churches and Catholic dioceses as part of an effort to combat domestic terrorism.”

Spencer notes there is no “indication that they’ve taken these spies out of the pews,” and that in the absence of evidence that Catholic churches work like mosques as incubators of terrorism, this is “plain and simple harassment and scapegoating of Christians” by Democrats, who have weaponized the FBI against those they hate.

You can see why the FBI needs a new headquarters twice the size of the Pentagon. There are plenty of thought criminals out there to monitor, intimidate, and potentially drag off to prison like Mark Houck.

On a tip from Blackjack.

A hate crime is not a hate crime when the culprit hates who he is supposed to hate. It helps if he is the kind of guy our rulers love, like the moonbat who vandalized St. Louise Catholic Church in Bellevue, Washington:

“Transgender” suspect Maeve Nota, a man who claims to be a woman, attacked the church building on June 28, 2022, smashing the glass doors, destroying a statue of the Blessed Mother, and spray-painting profane messages such as “F*** Catholics,” “kid groomers,” “woman haters,” and “rot in your fake hell.” Damage was estimated to be $30,000.

The “kid groomers” accusation coming from a transsexual in the age of drag queen story hours is an example of the jaw-droppingly hypocritical projection that typifies leftists.

Thirty-one-year-old Nota also assaulted a church employee and resisted arrest, according to FOX News.

But it was all justified, because the motive was that Nota did not agree with Roe v. Wade finally getting overturned. Consequently, Biden’s Department of Injustice charged him with a misdemeanor and recommended no jail, 3-year probation.

The concept of “hate crimes” is useful because it is subjective enough to allow authorities to crush people they don’t like while greenlighting violence against other people they don’t like.

The DOJ website indicates: “At the federal level, hate crime laws include crimes motivated by bias” against a victim’s perceived “race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or disability.” Washington state has adopted all of these categories under its own hate crime laws as well.

But since hate crime is thought crime, this only applies when the liberal ruling class does not approve of the imputed thoughts. By “religion,” they mean Islam. They sure don’t mean Catholicism.

The main purpose of the LGBT agenda is not to pander obsequiously to a tiny percentage of the population but to destroy Christianity, which serves as a bulwark against tyranny by reminding us that there is a higher authority than the government and the media. Leftists have achieved hegemony, so they may as well drop their progressive approach and cut to the chase. Why not ban the Bible?

From Utah:

On Dec. 11, the [Davis] School District received a petition from a parent to have the Bible removed from schools for being what the parent considered a “sex-ridden” book. …

“Utah Parents United left off one of the most sex-ridden books around: The Bible. You’ll no doubt find that the Bible has ‘no serious values for minors’ because it’s pornographic by our new definition,” the petition read.

The actual point is to complain about limitations on the perverted filth that is rammed down children’s throats in public schools.

This complaint followed the passing of Utah’s “Sensitive Materials in Schools” law enacted in May which “prohibits certain sensitive instructional materials” if they contain “explicit sexual arousal, stimulation, masturbation, intercourse, sodomy or fondling.”

Rather than laughing off this moonbat’s attempt at cuteness,

According to District spokesperson Chris Williams, the challenge was taken up for committee review as any other book despite its religious nature.

Enough tolerant liberals on the committee and the Bible will be banned. As noted earlier,

California came close to banning the Bible in 2018. Assembly Bill 2943 “effectively [would] make it illegal to buy or sell anything that promotes the view that homosexuality is an abnormal lifestyle choice.”

Make sure you have the Bible in hardcopy and a secure place to hide it.

On a tip from ABC of the ANC.

In case you had any doubts where the Biden Administration stands on a transsexual executing Christian children, noisily LGBT White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre lays it out for the record:

Via Fox News:

Just days after the shooting that killed six people at The Covenant School, Jean-Pierre insisted that transgender people were the ones “under attack” on Thursday…

Given the sympathy liberals lavished upon Muslims after 9/11, this is what you might expect after a half dozen people were murdered in a suicide terror attack, three of them 9-year-olds.

Jean-Pierre responded to a question regarding the upcoming “Trans Day of Visibility” as well as Republican legislation to ban transgender procedures for children. She insisted that “anti-LGBTQ bills” seen throughout the country prove how the trans community is being attacked.

Liberals appear to agree that the new law in Tennessee restricting sex change operations on children and the grooming of children by drag queens was likely a key factor in the Covenant School massacre, even implying that more violence will follow if there is more such legislation.

Transsexuals are “attacked” whenever there is resistance to their depraved and alarmingly aggressive agenda, according to gaslighting proponents of that agenda.

“And so, it is shameful, it is disturbing, and our hearts go out to the those — the trans community as they are under attack right now, but this is a president who has said many times before he has their backs. [Biden] will continue to have their backs and he will continue to fight for them, and his record shows that,” Jean-Pierre said.

The words of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn come to mind:

Hale left a manifesto detailing the motives for the atrocity. Authorities have confirmed that it aligns with official ideology by refusing to release it. But since progressives are making no secret of siding with the killer, there isn’t much point in keeping it hidden.

Allie Beth Stuckey responds to the White House response with wise advice:

“When people tell you they hate you, believe them.”
