Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
Sure, Miss America – We Really Judge Contestants for Their Brains Not Their Bodies… ~ Isn’t a beauty pageant without the beauty pretty much pointless? James Delingpole nails it
No sane viewer in the history of the world ever tuned into a Miss America, or Miss World or Miss Universe contest in order to ogle their opinions on how they’re planning to save the planet […]
Only with the advent of the Social Justice Warrior and #MeToo has this embarrassment with female beauty become a thing.
Around the world, June should be anything but ‘Pride Month’ ~ Doug Mainwaring refers to the radical homosexual movement as the LGBT Cabal – the elite coterie of persons who wage war daily against natural law and nature’s God ~
Around the world, in almost every nation, June is “Pride Month.” For 30 days the world’s billions are expected to remain in the thrall of LGBT ideology and its adherents […]
It’s diabolical that “Pride Month,” which celebrates and peddles acts that tie people to this world –– leading to both impoverished lives and death –– is positioned to quickly counteract the New Life that Easter brings and to overshadow our divine inheritance through the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
One reasonably concludes that the prince of this world – the field marshall who has been masterminding the sexual revolution since its beginning – is behind this “celebration” named “Pride.”
Supreme Court sides with Trump: won’t declare ‘right’ to abortion for illegal immigrants ~ Another encouraging ruling from the Supremes that was sort of overshadowed by the Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission decision ~
WASHINGTON, D.C., June 4, 2018 – Today, the Supreme Court tossed out a lower court ruling allowing a 17-year-old illegal immigrant in government custody to obtain an abortion despite the Trump administration’s protests.
Even though the baby at the center of the case has already been aborted, the Supreme Court has prevented it from setting a legal precedent establishing a “right” to abortion for underage illegal immigrants.
Valedictorian Stayed Off Social Media, Doesn’t Own Cell-Phone And Never Missed School Day! ~ Inspiring! Not to mention amazing in this day and age ~
Esther Fadumiye is valedictorian of her senior graduating class, never missing a day in school not even in pre-K. She also has stayed away from social media platforms as she does not own any Facebook, Instagram, Twitter profiles, ever!
Justice Kennedy’s Bread Crumb Trail to Tyranny ~ After analyzing the Supreme Court’s arguments, John Zmirak at The Stream doesn’t take much comfort in their decision for Masterpiece Cakeshop last week – in particular, Kennedy’s opinion ~
In Obergefell v. Hodges, the post-Christians decreed that a naked ape’s “dignity” demanded the legal acceptance of same-sex marriage. Four justices who voted in the negative warned that this threatened religious liberty. And now we see that they were right. The only thing that saved this case from wrecking a Christian’s livelihood was the tactlessness of his persecutors. They won’t make the same mistake next time.
Either we sell America on Christianity once again, or we demand it accept the real implications of rejecting it: Nothing matters, no one has dignity, and people may do as they please.
Daniel Horowitz thinks this victory is a hollow one as well ~ Religious liberty is just as threatened after today’s Masterpiece Cakeshop decision ~
Free speech, conscience, and property rights were hanging by a thread before today’s court opinion. They are no more secure after that opinion.
Australia’s Self-Inflicted Renewable Energy Crisis: 200,000 Families Can’t Afford Power ~ South Australia has the unfortunate distinction of paying the highest electricity costs in the entire world. New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria aren’t far behind ~
Recently, I’ve heard stories of people stealing wooden pallets from industrial areas to take home to burn for a little warmth. I also constantly hear stories people going in bushland to fill the boot of their car with firewood because they can’t afford electricity. And we’ve even had examples of people resorting to burning barbecue heat beads indoors to try and heat their homes – only to be poisoned by noxious gasses emitted.
But to the climate change zealots, having hundreds of thousands of their fellow Australians unable to heat their homes in winter is simply a necessary sacrifice in their virtue-signalling against “global warming’’.
Disney Under Fire for Hiring Convicted Pedophiles to Work on Kids Shows ~ They fired Roseanne in a New York minute, but sickos like this get to stick around for years.
Google Labels Trump-Supporting Senator as ‘Bigot’ ~ Making Pravda proud. Google’s faux-news is directly aimed at the low-information crowd ~
Anyone using Google on Friday to search for information about Republican North Carolina State Sen. Trudy Wade was greeted by a picture of the conservative lawmaker with the word “bigot” in red under her name.
The North Carolina incident was the second in recent days in which Republicans were smeared online in Google’s search results.
On Thursday, Google briefly said that Nazism was among the ideologies of the California Republican Party, CBS News reported. Although the false claim was removed, California Republicans were irate.
14-Year-Old Jewish Girl Murdered by Muslim Refugee in Germany ~ Another innocent girl pays the price for Europe’s open borders ~
Ali Bashar, one of the six sons, had come to Germany through Turkey and Greece. He had arrived in Germany in the fall of 2015 at the height of Merkel’s migration crisis. Since then, he had been accused of raping an 11-year-old girl in a refugee shelter, attacking a policewoman and robbing a man at knifepoint […]
A German poll of refugees last year found that more than half hold anti-Semitic views. Even before the migrant flood, German police had noted the rising number of Muslims arrested for anti-Semitic acts. In polls, Jews in Germany listed Muslims as the group most likely to harass or attack them.
So is it any wonder that this is happening? ~ Austria to Shut Down Seven Mosques and Expel Dozens of Imams ~
Amid a wave of right-wing electoral victories, particularly last year’s win by the populist Freedom Party, lawmakers have increasingly targeted Islamic groups for added scrutiny under the country’s so-called law on Islam.
That legislation prohibits any religious group from receiving foreign funds as well as imposes a duty on Muslim groups to respect Austrian tradition through “a positive fundamental view towards state and society.”
Sounds like a plan!
Irish Voters File Lawsuits Challenging Results of Referendum Legalizing Abortion, Allege Massive Voter Fraud ~ This probably won’t go anywhere, but it is interesting. Sounds like lots of seniors may have been disenfranchised over the 8th Amendment vote; you know, those crazy old religious folks.
Landslide tumbles down Italian mountainside but STOPS yards short of 420-year-old church ~ Whoa! (With video) ~
Local news website Avvenire reported that the landslide happened after the town experienced 60millimeters of rain in just 24 hours.
Around 7,500 cubic meters of rock fell in the landslide, but remarkably nobody was hurt.
Parish priest Don Andrea Caelli told Avvenire: ‘As a believer I say that the provident hand of God accompanied this event which could have ended tragically.’

Dennis Rodman, devil or angel? You decide ~
To all Americans and the rest of the world I’m honored to call @POTUS a friend. He’s one of the best negotiators of all time and I’m looking forward to him adding to his historic success at the Singapore Summit. #Peace #Love #MakeAmericaGreatAgain #MakeTheWorldGreatAgain pic.twitter.com/3t3VBMSGaL
