Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
Well, here it is mid-August – and Scotland’s winter snow STILL hasn’t melted ~ Incredible network of tunnels and caves clings to mountains after the cold summer (awesome pix). Beginning of a new ice age?
Should You Be Able to Shoot Down a Drone Spying on Your Backyard? One Dad Was Arrested ~ How do we as a society deal with this new phenomenon? Drones interfering with air traffic, preventing fire-fighting helicopters from extinguishing wildfires, spying on backyard sunbathers, dropping drugs into a crowded prison yard – yikes!
But no worries – government bureaucrats are diligently drafting miles of new regulations.
Yes, Target, I Do Want My Daughter To Conform To Her Gender ~ Ah yes, “Target:” today’s shopping destination for the gender-confused 6 year-old. How deep into this new reality-free zone are we going to let progressives drag our society?
You can’t blame Target. They’re simply progressing with the times. The only problem is that, in this progressive age, you don’t progress by moving forward from one place to a better one, but in a more clinical sense, like dementia.
Carson Doubles Down: Abortions Are the Number One Cause of Death For Black People ~
Dr. Ben Carson spoke with Eric Bolling on The O’Reilly Factor about his recent controversial statements about how Planned Parenthood clinics are strategically placed in order to control the African American population. Carson began the discussion by reiterating his position that Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger was a eugenist who was “was not enamored of black people.”
For years, many have been trying to get the truth out about Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger and eugenics. Now that a respected pediatric neurosurgeon has the national spotlight on this critical issue – not to mention a compelling way with words – let’s pray that people will finally listen.
Clown Genius ~ A worthwhile read from the creator of the Dilbert comic strip who has an interesting take on “The Donald” and his methods.
(My two cents: considering how easily the electorate has been manipulated by Trump’s demagoguery, we probably deserve him.)
Apple left racist, sexist ringtones unchecked for years ~ Good grief, when will the speech police stop? The examples mentioned in this article may be in really poor taste (stereotyping and mimicking various ethnic groups; though some of it’s actually self-mocking), but so is much of what passes for today’s “culture.” I personally find myself visually assaulted during, say, an average visit to the grocery store.
This is just relentless thought-policing. Everyone must think/believe/act the way the Left ordains. Do you doubt that they want to control every single aspect of our lives?
Not unlike Kim Jong Un in North Korea? ~
North Korea executes vice premier for discontent with leader: Yonhap ~
SEOUL (Reuters) Yonhap News Agency – The Yonhap report said Choe had expressed disagreement with Kim’s forestry policies in May and had shown poor work performance. It provided no further details.
Louis Farrakhan, “We Must Rise Up & Kill Those Who Kill Us”(w/video) ~ Great article from Terresa Monroe-Hamilton at Trevor Loudon’s New Zeal blog ~
Louis Farrakhan is at it again… calling for civil unrest and the murder of all whites. No matter how many times he screams for violence from the pulpit, the media just yawns and he is mostly ignored. Except for the 50,000 or so who follow the Nation of Islam and Louis Farrakhan. They are listening very closely and preparing – for war. Late last month, Farrakhan called for blacks to “rise up” and “kill those who kill us” if the federal government fails to “intercede in our affairs.” In other words, if Obama doesn’t step up moving forward towards a race war, the Nation of Islam will do it for him. Farrakhan delivered his calls for an uprising on July 30th in a speech given at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Miami. Shame on the Baptists for letting this vile race monger preach evil from their church.
How is it that this man isn’t arrested for inciting insurrection? Instead, he’s one of Barack Hussein Obama’s BFFs.
Our ‘imperial’ judges are out of control. Activism run amok ~
Emboldened by Tony Blair’s disastrous Human Rights Act, the judiciary is claiming for itself the power to rewrite Parliament’s laws.
Looks like the UK judicial system has gone rogue too. What’s the point of having laws at all if courts can capriciously ignore them?
Euthanasia Groups Practice “Doctor Shopping:” If Your Doctor Won’t Kill You, Here’s One Who Will ~ When the sanctity of life no longer matters much ~
… when one’s own doctor won’t do the deed, contact a pro-suicide/euthanasia organization for a referral to a death doctor who probably will.
In the Netherlands, that organization is called End-of-Life Clinic, where suicidal people can go to be made dead if their own doctor refuses.
#Hillary Lied About Her E-Mails, Broke The Law And What It Really Means ~ JoshuaPundit unpacks the twisted mass of deception surrounding Clinton, her illegal server and her”lost” emails. Enlightening. And I definitely agree with his conclusions; no matter what, she’ll get off.
Despite the often overwhemingly bad news these days, we mustn’t forget who wins in the end ~ The Bird Still Sings: Why Christianity Cannot Be Silenced ~
In America now it is fashionable to mock the bird of evangelicalism and try to silence it. But the song is being sung on other boughs and historic movements are taking place. In China, Korea, and the Middle East, places where once the gospel’s saving message seemed to be extinguished, churches are packed with hungry hearts, the youth listening to the gospel message with rapt attention. In countries where there was once hostility, crowds fill the auditoriums.[…]
They have witnessed what Christ-less lives can birth, shattering their countries and their hopes. They can now see that the only possible hope for transforming a heart is Jesus Christ.
