Marriage Perversions Are Just as Obscene as “Transgenderism”

Author J.K. Rowling has become one of the truth’s biggest allies in the fight against the evil transgender agenda. For over five years now, Ms. Rowling has used her vast resources and her magnificent platform to speak out against men masquerading as women. Others like-minded and with similar fame and fortune have joined Ms. Rowling—Martina Navratilova, Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, to name a few—in this fight.

There’s no doubt that these prominent voices have been incredibly influential in spreading the truth about the transgender lie. Ms. Rowling and her allies have emboldened legislators, corporations, schools, parents, and so on, to also take a stand for the truth in the fight against the foolish and absurd notion that one can change one’s sex.

Most importantly, Ms. Rowling and her allies have emboldened more accurate and powerful truth-tellers in this battle. For, as powerful and important as are Ms. Rowling, Joe Rogan, and the like are in this fight, they fall short when it comes the absolute truth on sex.

The war on the truth has been raging since Satan asked Eve, “Did God really say…” For decades now, in the sexual realm, Satan has waged a war on the truth in the United States and the world over. Tragically, the enemy of all of humanity has won over most Americans when it comes to sexual matters. As I noted in 2018,

[T]he battles over sex and sexuality in our culture have largely been lost. A wide array of sexually immoral behaviors is now deemed acceptable by significant portions of our culture. At least sixty percent of Americans view same-sex “marriage,” homosexuality, and fornication (sex outside of marriage) as morally acceptable. Our courts, corporations, schools, legislatures, and the like have taken notice. Most every significant institution in the U.S. now widely embraces [sexual] evil.

Thus, telling the whole truth, and nothing but the truth on matters in the sexual realm are enormously important. The truth on marriage is that it is only the union of one man and one woman for life. As I have written numerous times, marriage is the oldest institution in the history of humanity—older than God’s covenant with the nation of Israel, older than The Law, older than the church. Marriage is one of the earliest truths revealed by God. If anything is true, marriage as the union of one man and one woman is true. On this, there can never be compromise.

Married mothers and fathers are the foundation of every sound society the world has ever known. No law written by human beings should ever subvert this ancient and foundational institution. President Ronald Reagan summed it up well when he noted, “The family has always been the cornerstone of American society…in the family we learn our first lessons of God and man, love and discipline, rights and responsibilities…the strength of our families is vital to the strength of our nation.”

Additionally, there is virtually no truth, and absolutely no laws written by humans, with more “precedent” than marriage as the union of one man and one woman. There is no higher law than that spoken by the Law Giver, the One who made us in His image. (This great nation was founded upon His eternal truths!) He told us very early in His Word what is marriage.

Additionally, whenever Jesus, or any other of the New Testament writers—who often used marriage as an illustration of the relationship between Jesus and His church—spoke of marriage, it was always as the union of one man and one woman. Thus, any law, any relationship that deviates from the eternal truth of what is marriage will have tragic consequences!

One of the few truths older than what is marriage is what is a male, and what is a female. Again, scripture makes this abundantly clear. But, if one can (legally) erase what is marriage, why not push your evil agenda even further?  It is telling that once the wicked LGBT agenda got its legal victory on marriage—with the infamous and immoral Obergefell ruling—one of its next goals was to blur the lines between who’s a male and who’s a female.

Nearly a decade ago—almost exactly one year after the Obergefell ruling—I wrote that “liberals may have finally found a way to make women’s sports more interesting: let men compete as women.” As they’ve done countless times with the U.S. Constitution (see abortion and same-sex “marriage”), in order to get their way legally, and jam “transgenderism” down the throats of a largely unwilling, uncooperative America, liberals looked to “interpret” Title IX in order to allow men in women’s sports, locker rooms, restrooms, and the like.

Of course, once the Biden administration came into power, they attempted to use Title IX in exactly the way the American left imagined, to (again!) give the LGBT agenda exactly what it wanted. Thank God, they failed. However, unsurprisingly, the left persists in attempting to push this perversion upon America, just like they did with same-sex “marriage.”

As perverse as is the notion that men can become women and vice-versa, is the idea that marriage is anything other than the union of one man and one woman. Those who are opposed to the trans agenda would be wise to surrender to the truth on marriage as well.

Democrats: The George Costanza of Politics

Oh, what might have been! The stunning escapade of events that have plagued the Democrat Party the past several weeks could’ve largely been avoided if only Democrats trafficked more frequently in the truth. For example, if the passionate cascade of calls for Joe Biden to exit the presidential race had occurred this time last year, the Democrat Party likely would not now be stuck with one of the two holdovers from what has been a disastrous presidential administration.

With Joe Biden quitting the race, the democrats are almost certainly stuck with Kamala Harris as their presidential nominee. Shortly after his announced departure from the 2024 presidential race, Biden endorsed her. Not long after that, the Clintons endorsed her. Nancy Pelosi has now endorsed her, and as Byron York points out,

[O]nce Biden withdrew, there was a stampede to Harris. By Sunday evening, a majority of House Democrats, a majority of Senate Democrats, a majority of Democratic governors, and all of the state party chairs had committed to support Harris… by Monday morning, Harris was well on her way to securing the Democratic nomination.

As of this writing, CNN reports that Harris has now secured enough delegates to win the Democrat nomination. Nevertheless, as Mr. York also notes, Kamala Harris “is a provably terrible candidate, possibly the worst candidate Democrats could field in their situation.” Because too many democrats are obsessed with identity politics—especially race and gender identity—they are likely stuck with Harris as their 2024 presidential candidate. Again, it did not have to be this way.

Go back one year, or even just eight months or so ago: if the Democrat Party and their apologists had then been honest with only themselves about the shortcomings of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and their “accomplishments,” they could’ve almost completely avoided the disaster in which they now find themselves.

The only thing democrats really needed at that time was for Joe Biden to say he wasn’t going to seek a second term. If he stubbornly refused (as he indeed did!), then you have the party leaders and the media put the pressure on him that we just witnessed. If this was accomplished with enough time to spare before primary season, then you have a real Democrat primary.

Of course, this hypothetical primary would almost certainly include Kamala Harris. However, as we saw in 2020 (when she had to run in a real primary), because she is a terrible candidate, Harris would almost certainly not be the Democrat nominee. Thus, the Democrat party could’ve had a viable candidate that was neither Biden nor Harris.

There are countless democrats more capable of running a presidential campaign than Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, but rampant democrat lies—including lying to themselves and their own voters—prevented this from happening. They lied about Joe Biden’s mental and physical health. They’ve lied about his accomplishments. They’ve lied about inflation. They’ve lied about the border. They’ve lied about Harris’s abilities, and so on. What’s more, a democrat not named Biden or Harris could’ve distanced themselves (somewhat) from the disaster that is the Biden administration.

Sure, Trump and the GOP would’ve have claimed—not incorrectly—that any Democrat candidate for President of the United States would be beholden to the agenda of the radical left and would produce results similar to Biden/Harris. However, this hypothetical democrat could, if a capable non-DEI candidate, subtly and skillfully make the case that their administration would be different and better than Biden/Harris and even give some specifics as to why.

This would especially be the case if this hypothetical democrat came from outside the Biden administration. For example, one of the Democrat governors, or a suitable Senate or House democrat. Tragically, nearly 40% of America is going to vote for virtually any democrat for President. Thus, the non-Biden/Harris candidate would only have to win over the necessary swath of independent and never-Trump voters. This would not be an insurmountable task.

Yet, because they so easily and eagerly lie, the democrats now find themselves in the political mess they so richly deserve. Democrats are the George Costanza of politics, nearly incapable of telling the truth. Joe Biden was almost as effective at pretending to be President as George was at pretending to be an architect!

Just as George’s “whole [fictional] life was a lie,” the Democrat Party is filled with lies and liars. The platform of the Democrat Party is a mountain of lies. They lie about life in the womb. They lie about sex. They lie about marriage and family. They lie about economics. They lie about the climate. They lie about energy. They lie about elections. And of course, they lie about democracy and Donald Trump.

Perhaps democrats should try doing the opposite

Skillet's John Cooper on Drag Queens at the Dove Awards and the Shameful Silence of Christians

I've been a fan of the Christian rock group Skillet for some time now. However, I have to confess that I had no idea that Christian rocker John Cooper--the lead singer of Skillet--was doing such an AMAZING job when it comes to speaking out on the significant moral issues of our time! In other words, John Cooper is not only an excellent musician, he's a powerful and welcomed voice within the church today! 

With a website, an X (Twitter) page (over 200k Followers), a YouTube channel (over 58k subscribers), and the like, Cooper has a significant online presence. This, combined with the reach of Skillet, gives Mr. Copper an amazing opportunity when it comes to communicating the truth to the world and the church. Unlike so many others Christians who are similarly blessed, he seems to be making the most of this opportunity. 

Mr. Cooper recently took issue with the disgusting and evil display that took place at this year's Dove Awards. The Dove Awards are presented by Gospel Music Association and have existed since 1969. The awards ceremony has been televised since 1984. This year, several heretics decided to attend the awards show "in drag." Copper was aghast and lambasted the display. Mr. Cooper also rightly blasted the deafening silence from most in the Christian community who directly witnessed the display, or, even worse, the downright complicitness of Christians who, in the name of "tolerance," encouraged or excused the display. NEWS FLASH, CHURCH: WE NEED MORE OF JOHN COOPER'S BOLDNESS!!!

Here's Mr. Cooper's full commentary on this important issue:

Avowed Atheist (and Darwinian Evolutionist) Sheds Some Light on the "Transgender" Debate

Helen Joyce is an Irish journalist with a background in mathematics. She's an avowed atheist and enthusiastic Darwinian evolutionist. In spite of these shortcomings, she is standing strong against, and speaking much truth to, the evil transgender agenda. She shares many of her views in the hour-plus interview below. TAKE HEED: There is a bit of foul language in the video, and, more importantly, Mrs. Joyce has many misleading views on important facts of the universe. Pray for her salvation!

Why is the “Pride” Movement Filled With So Many Perverts?

So we are finally done with another “Pride Month,” though if Richard Levine had his way, it would continue through the summer. Alas, the “Pride” movement will likely last until the end of time, when all things will be made right, and then every vestige of “Pride”—along with all other evil—will be swept away. Until then, we must faithfully endure “Pride” and all its perversions.

Pride 2023 seems to have been particularly perverse. In spite of their many recent “victories”—a legal redefinition of the oldest institution in the history of humanity, a corporate culture that embraces, promotes, and celebrates virtually every evil aspect of the LGBT agenda, an academic culture that does the same, and so on—it’s as if those who’ve abandoned the truth on sex simply don’t know when or how to stop.

This is completely unsurprising. As Dr. Jeffrey Satinover notes in his excellent book, Homosexuality and the Politics of Truth,

[A]nother defining feature of homosexuality is the broad range of sexual appetites and behaviors that appear when people do not conform themselves to a code of behavior. Indeed, once people begin to “walk on the wild side,” they have effectively broken one of society’s strongest taboos. Other taboos then fall away easily and rapidly. For homosexual apologists, this feature of the gay lifestyle is not so much a mark of enslavement to sexuality as a sign of homosexuals’ greater freedom from arbitrary and stifling social inhibitions, sexual and otherwise.

Taboos falling away “easily and rapidly” seem to apply to cultures as well as individuals. Consider that, in the United States, once laws against homosexual behavior were declared unconstitutional (Lawrence v. Texas, 2003), in barely a generation we’ve gone from homosexual behavior being widely (and rightly) seen as immoral and unhealthy, and thus illegal, to a widespread acceptance of homosexual behavior, to debating what is marriage—with the vast majority of U.S. states and the population at-large then embracing the biblical view of marriage—to (via a 5-4 SCOTUS judicial fiat) a legal redefinition of marriage (giving us same-sex “marriage”), to debating what is a male and what is a female, to a widespread acceptance—including within the established medical community!—of the absurd and evil notion that one can change one’s sex through merely declaring such (sometimes combined with drugs and surgery), to laws and edicts that enforce this evil absurdity, to allowing children to embrace and participate in this evil absurdity!

In other words, in barely a generation we’ve gone from “Stay out of our bedroom!” to boys taking trophies from girls (As I warned!), government schools secretly “transitioning” children, children being hauled to Drag Queen Story Hour and Pride parades by their foolishly woke parents, the attempted normalization of pedophilia, and the like. All of this is because “Stay out of our bedroom!” has never really been the end game for the LGBT agenda. After all, live and let live is not a hallmark of the LGBT agenda, and they are extreme “mind your own business” hypocrites.

As was the case in the marriage debate, the LGBT war on sex (“gender”) is simply another opportunity for those who want to rule their own world to thumb their noses at the laws of the Law Giver. The legalization of same-sex “marriage” was never really only about giving homosexuals the opportunity to “marry.” It was also always about sticking it to Christians and Christianity. In other words, as was the case with same-sex “marriage,” “transgenderism” is a war against the truth.

The LGBT agenda has always been about “progressing” towards a culture where the Laws of God—especially in the sexually realm—are at least ignored, and ideally formally abandoned and replaced with the laws and “morals” of rebellious humans. This “progression” seemingly has no end, thus the perversions of what is good and right continue to grow into what is more and more perverse.

As noted above, we are now facing those who wish to normalize pedophilia. As John Hinderacker recently noted at Powerline, Democrats in Minnesota have now officially come out “in defense of pedophilia as a matter of law.” Mr. Hinderacker notes,

Minnesota’s crazed DFL [Democrat] majorities have passed one extreme measure after another this session, but this one breaks new ground in service of pedophilia. The bill is HF 1655, sponsored by a man pretending to be a woman named Leigh Finke…Finke’s bill is called the “Take Pride Act.” We might re-name it the “Take Pride in Abuse of Children Act.”

…Now note what Mr. Finke’s bill does: Along with creating all kinds of legal rights on behalf of transgenders, it changes the definition of “Sexual orientation” by deleting the exclusion of pederasty from the definition.

…The result of this amendment is that all of the special legal protections now given to homosexuals in health care, welfare, employment, housing, education and much else will benefit pederasts.

Tragically, Minnesota is not alone in this evil pursuit. As David Strom reports at HotAir,

It turns out that Minnesota isn’t the only state where the Democrats are determined to normalize pedophilia. Connecticut, too, is taking steps to redefine its Human Rights laws to eliminate restrictions on the definition of “sexual orientation” to include paraphilias that are so offensive that legislators specifically banned their consideration for inclusion in protected classes.

…As with Minnesota, the changes do not legalize pedophilic acts–it is, thankfully, going to remain illegal for adults to rape children. However, being a “Minor Attracted Person” is no longer sufficient to exclude you from polite society, and may even entitle one to special protections from the state.

The perversions of the LGBT agenda truly know no bounds. If we continue down this path of sexual rebellion, the perversions will continue to shock us, though they shouldn’t surprise those who know the truth.

Mark Levin: The Democrat Party Must Be "Obliterated"

On his Fox show, "Life, Liberty, & Levin," Mark Levin says what I've been saying privately for some time: The Democrat Party, as it currently exists, must be destroyed. It must cease to have power and influence in this nation. As I have also said (though more publicly) often in the last few years: The modern Democrat Party is one of the greatest tools of Satan in the world today. Their whole existence is rooted in a mountain of lies, and these lies have infected and corrupted most every institution in America, including, but not limited to: government, education, law enforcement, the military, science (especially medical and climate science), corporations, and the like. Most importantly, the widespread corruption of the Democrat Party has even infected our families and the church. No right-minded voter should ever do anything that would allow Democrats to continue with power and influence in America. This especially means that, for lovers of truth, no one with the privilege of voting in America should ever cast their ballot for a Democrat.

Don’t Trust Corporations With Your Charity

When it comes to in-person shopping, one of the more frequent complaints I’ve encountered recently concerns self-checkout registers. It seems many people despise using them. I do not. Whether Kroger, Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, and the like, I almost always choose the self-checkout station over an in-person cashier. In fact, I will wait in line for the self-checkout even when a line for an in-person cashier is unoccupied.

It’s not that I dislike human cashiers, it’s just that I prefer being in control of the check-out process, and the typical convenience of the self-checkout. There’s another reason that I prefer the self-checkout: I never get solicited by a cashier at a self-checkout.

It seems that retail, fast-food, financial corporations, and the like, are frequently in the business these days of asking their customers to donate to one pet cause or another. If you happen to have to deal with a cashier today, a common method of “charitable” soliciting often goes something like this: “Would you like to round-up your purchase to support ____________ (fill in the blank)?”

My answer virtually every time: “No, thank you.” Of course, this is not because I’m against charity, rather it’s because almost every corporation in America today has proven itself to be quite unworthy of stewardship over a single penny of my charitable income.

In case you haven’t noticed, one of the largest reasons we’re currently in a “woke” war is due to the actions of corporate America. On virtually every moral issue facing the world today, most all of corporate America stands in opposition to the truth. Whether capitalism—yes, even capitalism!—climate change, crime, guns, immigration, abortion, the evil LGBT agenda, and so on, corporate America is almost always on the wrong side of the truth.

As is the case with our schools, our government, our media, and tragically, even our churches, our corporations are merely a reflection of the culture at large. And as is the case with almost any American institution one can imagine, U.S. corporations are so often on the wrong side of the truth because there is a widespread ignorance of what is truth in America today. This is due to the widespread rejection of Christianity that prevails in America today.

Instead of embracing the absolute, unchanging, undeniable truths of the universe given to us by the Author of truth Himself and living by those truths (whether we want to or not), for decades now, much of America—increasing numbers it seems as time moves onward—has decided to go their own way and decide “what is truth” for themselves. In other words, many of us have rejected God as the ultimate Authority in the universe and have decided to rule our own world.

This secular humanist worldview dominates the thinking in corporate America today. Thus, instead of merely quietly and subtly heeding what is good and right, or simply acknowledging a preference to their bottom line, U.S. corporations today are dedicated to nonsense such as the “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) and “environmental, social, and governance” (ESG) scams. Both DEI and ESG are dogmatic rejections of truth that are born of modern leftist orthodoxy. Yet, corporate America has embraced these boondoggles as a means of declaring to the world, “Look at how much we care!”

If corporate America truly cared about the world we live in and the human beings who occupy it, then the likes of DEI and ESG would be quickly and enthusiastically rejected. If corporations truly had the well-being of humanity in mind, they would realize that true charity is—or should be—far more than words or actions that make us feel good.

Additionally, charity is about far more than simply giving to the poor. Giving to or caring for the poor ought to be one of the most obvious actions of a charitable person or organization. Most importantly, charity must be rooted in truth. The most charitable person who ever lived—Jesus Christ—makes this clear. When Jesus healed the sick, fed the hungry, or even raised the dead, He didn’t do this only to satisfy their physical needs—though that is indeed a good thing. The ultimate goal of all of the good works of Jesus was to point people to a magnificent spiritual truth.

In other words, the ministry of God—feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, healing the sick (things often deemed as “charitable”)—should never be separated from the message of God—to repent of our sin and believe that Jesus was who He claimed to be: the Son of God and the Savior of the world. The ministry of God and the message of God—both together complete the mission of God. In other words, any sound charity should ultimately help complete the mission of God.

Thus, even if a corporation is doing what seems like legitimate charitable work, or even if it has ties to what many conclude are legitimate charitable organizations, given the current track record with the truth that is prevalent in corporate America today, I will not trust corporations with my charitable income. Instead, I choose to do my charitable giving directly myself. I encourage you to politely do the same.
