The Broadside | So What if the Christian School Shooter Was Trans?

Note that I’m not saying she is … was … trans. I’m just saying that there seems to be an attitude that it shouldn’t matter.

There was speculation Monday that the shooter was transgender, although other sources disputed the claim. Some said she had an “online obsession with school shooters.”

Barnes insisted that he doesn’t care whether Rupnow was transgender, as some reports indicated. It’s not important, he said, when asked by a leftist reporter about “misinformation” online. The Madison journalist effectively wagged her finger at parental rights group for claiming the shooter was transgender, “which is a reaction that we see across the country linked with mass shootings to claim that trans people are dangerous.”

Barnes, a far-left police chief in one of the most LGBTQ agenda-pushing cities in America, said he wished people would “leave their own personal biases out of this.”

“I don’t know whether Natalie was transgender or not and quite frankly I don’t think that’s even important. I don’t think that’s important at all,” the chief told reporters at an evening press conference. “I don’t think that whatever happened today has anything to do with how she or he or they my [sic] have wanted to identify …”

Barnes subsequently acknowledged that Rupnow’s gender identity “is something that may come out later.”

Ackshully, it might matter a wee bit. Even id she wasn’t, at least three recent school shootings were carried out by trans-identifying persons.

Seventeen-year-old Dylan Butler killed one and injured five at Perry High School in Iowa on January 4, 2024 before killing himself. According to reports he was trans/genderfluid, used the pronouns he/they, and “loved” trans kids.

28-year-old Audrey Elizabeth Hale killed six at a private Christian school in Tennessee on March 27, 2023. She was transgender and wanted to be called “Aiden” and to be referred to by male pronouns. She was shot and killed by responding officers.

Sixteen-year-old Maya McKinney killed one student and injured eight others at STEM School Highlands Ranch in Colorado on May 7, 2019. She identified as male, went by “Alec” and targeted classmates who she claimed bullied her because she was transgender.

So, yeah, my immediate thought when I heard about the shooting was to wonder if it was a transgender student. And I won’t apologize for thinking that, no matter how much the Leftists scold me for my “bias.”

It’s not without cause.

What we know about 15-year-old Natalie Rupnow is that she went by “Sam” or Samantha, she idolized the German industrial rock band KMFDM (also idolized by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold of the Columbine High School massacre), had an interest in mass shootings, had “a long, disturbing online history of being obsessed with school shooters and death [and] used the moniker “crossixir” online,” and somehow got a 9mm pistol (for her birthday!) that she used to carry out her attack.

Andy Ngo says Natalie “did not identify as trans.”

I don’t have screengrabs, so I won’t name the publication, but I could swear that the text of a report I read after the shooting originally said, “himself” and then it changed to “themself” and then the entire sentence disappeared in which those words had appeared.

The investigation is still ongoing, but I won’t be surprised if we learn that she was sexually confused and/or mentally unstable.

Daily Broadside | Not All Transgenders Are Killers But Those That Are Share Similar Traits

There are a lot of significant political developments happening across the U.S. and it’s hard to choose what to focus on. Today I want to highlight something that has faded from the headlines but which is important to know because it doesn’t align with the official (Leftist) narrative that our betters want us to believe.

Newly leaked pages from the Nashville school shooter’s journal depict a profoundly disturbed young woman with intense daddy issues.

Audrey Elizabeth Hale, who identified as a trans male, targeted the Christian Covenant School on March 27, 2023, killing three children and three members of the school’s staff before being shot dead by responding officers.

Even though police shot the suspect dead inside the school, the FBI has repeatedly refused to release Hale’s writings, arguing that doing so “could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings.”

The FBI has been dragging its feet because of, in the hackneyed expression, “ongoing investigations.” Yeh, the girl was shot dead by police after she rampaged through the Christian school killing indiscriminately and they’ve needed to “investigate” for more than a year.

The partisan FBI colludes with the Left and expects us to respect it as a non-partisan institution.

On the next page, Hale focused on her “Dad problems,” complaining that he always turns “the other way” like she’s not there.

“I hate when my dad loves on the cats; not me. FAGGOT!!!” she wrote. “He never once loved on me for years, maybe like ever (as a child maybe)”.

Psychologists have found that people with “daddy issues” tend to have pathological “dark triad” traits.

The term “dark triad” refers to “a trio of negative personality traits—narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy—which share some common malevolent features.”

In her diary, Hale said that she hated her father’s “old cranky-man existence,” and wished death upon all men like him.

“All cranky, good-for-nothing, mentally ill men SHOULD DIE,” she wrote. The’re [sic] all useless pieces of sh-t

Waste of life, waste of time

Waste of human population.

Dad just takes up space for all I know

dried out + hollow

says negative shit all the time, like

“one. He’s a loser”

“I hate movies like this”

“I don’t care”

Well guess what?

YOUR [SIC] A LOSER

I HATE YOU (LIFE, YOU)

I DON’T CARE IF YOU DIE

I WANT TO KILL YOU

Dad is not real.

Everything hurts.

She had severe “daddy” issues. I would never rush to blame her father, since there are two sides to every story and we’re only hers. But it’s clear that she was deeply angry with her dad.

I won’t reproduce the entire article here, but there’s plenty of more disturbing expressions of self-hatred and hatred of those around her.

Other sexually-confused shooters like Hale share similarly sad pasts.

Anderson Lee Aldrich killed five patrons at a Colorado Springs gay nightclub in November 2022. Reports in part said, Aldrich is “nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns.” Further,

The suspect’s father is a mixed martial arts fighter and pornography performer with an extensive criminal history, including convictions for battery against the alleged shooter’s mother, Laura Voepel, both before and after the suspect was born, state and federal court records show.

[…]

Aldrich’s request for a name change came months after Aldrich was apparently targeted by online bullying. A website posting from June 2015 that attacked a teen named Nick Brink suggests they may have been bullied in high school. The post included photos similar to ones of the shooting suspect and ridiculed Brink over their weight, lack of money and what it said was an interest in Chinese cartoons.

Alec McKinney and Devon Erickson both tried to commit mass murder at STEM School Highlands Ranch south of Denver in May 2019. Devon killed one student, but McKinney was thought to be the ringleader. Reports said,

Lawyers for the second suspect in the Colorado school shooting, Maya McKinney, who is listed in court records as a female, asked the court to use the pronoun “he.”

The 16-year-old McKinney is transgender and was transitioning from female to male at the time of Tuesday’s shooting at the STEM School Highlands Ranch in Highlands Ranch, Colo., that left one student dead and eight others wounded. McKinney reportedly identifies as a male and goes by the name Alec.

Also:

Almost a dozen witnesses have testified the past three days — all called by defense attorneys. Psychologists, counselors, family members, family friends all say McKinney showed signs of trouble early — though no one specifically say he exhibited signs of homicidal behavior. 

They paint a picture of a child who was sexually abused and neglected. McKinney began cutting himself when he was 13 year-old and snuck booze. He asked for help several times and was hospitalized more than once.

McKinney’s father, Jose Quintana, was a coyote, leading undocumented immigrants from Mexico, and a drug mule. He also beat McKinney’s mother regularly, often in front of their children, according to testimony. 

Then there’s Snochia Moseley, a black transgender who shot and killed four people outside a Rite Aid distribution center in Aberdeen, Maryland on September 20, 2018. Again,

Police said the shooter was Snochia Moseley, a 26 year old who they identified as female. A friend told the Washington Post that Moseley had suffered from bipolar disorder and depression, which they linked to feelings of rejection when Moseley had first come out as gay and later transgender.

The friend said Moseley had begun receiving hormone therapy a year prior to the incident, and planned to undergo gender-reassignment surgery, but had been struggling with the transition.

And more:

Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler told news reporters Friday that the suspect, 26-year-old Snochia Moseley of Baltimore County, had been diagnosed with a mental illness in 2016. “That’s as far as I’ll go with it,” he said, declining to give any more details on her mental state.

He said Moseley had become increasingly agitated in recent weeks, and relatives had been concerned for her well-being.

I can’t find anything about Moseley’s home life, but the profile of these shooters tends to show that they have a mental illness and/or come from a violent home.

I’m not sure that Johnson’s take is everywhere and always true, but it is clear that these people are mentally unstable.

It’s also true that the FBI, the media and other official entities will hide the true identity of the killers until forced to admit them or until the killings have faded from the newscycle because it doesn’t fit their narrative that it’s white supremacists who are the domestic terrorists and we should all be a-skeered of them!

Daily Broadside | My Name Isn’t Alice And I Don’t Live In A Rabbit Hole

When gays and lesbians agitated for their “rights” to fornicate with others of the same sex without prosecution, they argued that it was nobody’s business what went on in the privacy of their own bedrooms. Once they got that, they argued that they weren’t represented in mainstream America and they couldn’t be discriminated against. So they began to show up holding hands in public and appearing in commercials as though it were the most natural thing in the world. Then they argued that they had the right to get married, along with all the benefits and privileges that came with that station in life. It didn’t “hurt” anybody, and they were the victims of oppression since marriage should be open to everybody. Love is love, right? And when the Supreme Court agreed, they demanded that Christians bake the cake, bigots!

Now the “T” people in the LGBTQANON+ conglomerate are arguing that they have the right to participate in life according to what they declare they are, not what their biological sex has determined that they are. Mostly men pretending to be women want to use the same bathrooms, go to the same prisons, and play the same sports as females.

This sickness is so pervasive that it has radically changed the nature of our culture to the point that a young woman speaking out of her “lived experience” (a favorite phrase of the cultural Marxists) is shut down at a public library for “misgendering” not anyone in particular, but in general, for talking about biological men participating in women’s sports.

This is delusional. We are not just sliding down the rabbit hole, but being forced to live there. And all of our natural rights, including the freedom of speech and of religion and of the right to assemble peacefully and to petition the goverment for a redress of grievances, are being subverted by irrational, specious, weak-minded anti-American cultural Marxists.

I, for one, will not play that game. You don’t get to have your own pronouns, you don’t get to decide you’re a “woman” and demand that I treat you as one if you’re a biological male. I live in reality, and I will not bend to the absurd.

As Christ followers, we cannot deny the truth, even it if causes someone to feel “unsafe” or they claim it’s an act of “violence” to misgender them.

This occurs at a public library, where all over the country drag performers are welcomed and given a platform to perform for the public — especially children. But when an organization that has a different viewpoint wants to use the public facility to share their story, they’re shut down.

Free speech for me, but not for thee.

If you can bear it, watch the whole surreal, nauseating thing.

This isn’t the America I knew.

Daily Broadside | No Joke: They Really Are Coming For Your Children

So over the last couple of days I’ve been chronicling the filthy behavior of the Alphabet mafia during their so-called “Pride” events across the US and Canada. I’ve noted that barely clothed and fully naked men have been gyrating or bicycling or twerking in public with children present.

And the children are present with parents who either don’t care about the psychological damage such exposure will do to their kids or are simply too weak to resist being carried along by the open sewer running down the middle of our culture.

Worst of all, the sexual anarchists aren’t hiding that they are targeting our children.

LGBTQ activists participating in New York City’s annual Drag March on Friday sparked outrage for chanting “we’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children” in a Manhattan park.

The marchers, many wearing flamboyant dresses and clothing, walked through Tompkins Square Park in the East Village Friday night as part of the city’s Pride Month celebrations.

Video of the march shows people laughing and joining in with the cheeky chant — including one dancing topless woman.

C’mon, guys. It’s just a “cheeky chant.”

Seriously.

A little naughty nothing to worry about. No big deal.

Many online users pointed out that the chant was more than likely a joke in response to accusations of pedophilia among the drag community from the right.

We’re just joking. LOL!

We’re not really coming for your children. We’re just mocking the totally unjustified stereotype you conservatives have of us. It’s your fault H8er!

What the reaction to the declaration that “we’re coming for your children” tells me is that there’s still a wide swath of the American public that does not accept homosexuality and transgenderism as “normal.” They only “accept” it because the state has told them to accept it. They only “accept” it because they no longer have the cultural weight to oppose it.

Another part of it is that no one wants someone else usurping the role of parent in a child’s life. Atheists and the irreligious don’t want Christians telling their kids about Jesus. Christians don’t want secular humanists telling their kids about evolution. And nobody wants sexual deviants telling their kids about fisting or tucking and binding.

Especially a stranger.

Any parent would feel offended when someone else undermines their authority by teaching their children something the parent wouldn’t. It’s a shocking loss of control that threatens the parent. That’s why parents are showing up to school board meetings to express their outrage about middle school teachers groomers.

But it’s more than that.

It’s that parents don’t accept homosexuality and transgenderism personally. They don’t accept it morally. And they sure as heck don’t want some godless hedonist influencing or molesting their children. They don’t want someone screwing up their kid’s moral center or their emotional stability.

Most of us have accepted that homosexuality has been mainstreamed. We’ve had our misgivings about where such integration into the culture would lead and warned that once we gave an inch, we could expect that other dominoes would fall. And now here we are with transgenderism already forcing itself toward normalization while drawing p3d0philia in its wake.

Disturbing details in the arrest of the nation’s first elected transgender legislator and a Massachusetts preschool worker on child exploitation and pornography charges have been released by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

Former New Hampshire State Rep. Stacie-Marie Laughton, a Democrat from Nashua and Lindsay Groves, a caregiver at the Creative Minds Learning Center in Tyngsboro, were both arrested and charged last week with multiple counts of child exploitation and distribution of child pornography. 

Laughton made history back in 2012 when she was elected as the first transgender lawmaker in the United States. She was elected to the New Hampshire House of Representatives.

The arrests of Laughton and Groves were initiated by the Nashua Police Department, but because of the nature of the crimes, it has been transferred to HSI for federal prosecution.

According to a report  based on a preliminary investigation into the case by a Homeland Security criminal investigator, Groves bragged in text messages that  she used  “natural bathroom breaks” at the daycare center prior to “naptime” to take photos of children’s genitals.

Special agent Rocco Rauseo said he was able to determine that the children allegedly exploited by Laughton and Groves are between the ages of 3 and 5. 

No joke.

Daily Broadside | New Term Tries to Make “Normal” Just Another Brick in the Wall

Not sure if you’ve heard, but there’s a new term being bandied about that applies to me and my sexuality. Straight men are now “gynosexuals” and we’re just another stripe on the Pride flag.

Are You Gynosexual? Here’s What It Means, According to Experts

It isn’t easy being a straight male these days unless maybe you enjoy all the privilege that Hunter Biden does. Everybody else gets their own special color on that increasingly garish flag, gets to bobble their man-boobs on the White House lawn, and has the entire month of June dedicated to whatever naughty thing they’re doing with their private parts — slice it, dice it, even make Julienne fries!

But as a straight white male, I don’t get any of that stuff. I have to make do somehow with my gorgeous wife of 21 years, my two handsome sons, and the rewarding career that I’ve pursued for more than two decades. It’s a daily struggle.

As of today, though, I don’t have to settle for less. Thanks to the experts, I now understand that I’m a total freak with my own special made-up word and everything.

Bite me, normies, because my color just went up on the Pride flag. That’s right: I’m a gynosexual, unlike the rest of you squares.

Stephen Green’s tongue-in-cheek take on the latest development in the dynamic world of ever-evolving sexual freakisms is humorous, but there is something vaguely threatening about it.

Gynosexual, according to sex educator Lilith Fox “refers to being sexually attracted to femininity, irrespective of one’s own gender identity or the gender identity of the femme-presenting person they are attracted to.” In plain English, it means that whether you’re a man or a woman, you are a gynosexual if you’re attracted to femininity in either a male or a female.

It means that you can be a boy and like girls, or you can be a girl and like girls. You can also be a boy and like a girly-boy, or be a girl and like a girly-boy. Up until a minute ago, we’ve known boys who like girls as normal and girls who like girls as “lesbian,” and boys who like boys as “gay” and girls who like boys as normal.

But once the LGBTQWERTY+ mafia began defining every conceivable combination of sexual deviancy, they had to invent labels for the normies.

That’s what I find vaguely threatening. Don’t label me. Don’t add me to your endless list of sex-addled possibilities. Don’t try to force me into some little quadrant of your sexual matrix. Doing that destroys the historic “binary” norm of “men” and “women.”

Which is the point.

One guy has put up a fight on Twitter over being labeled “cis” by the trans-community.

He was, of course, taken to the woodshed by the TransElites, who told him that he had no choice. He was “cis” and that was that, you “cissy.”

That’s when Elon Musk jumped in.

This is a front in the war on cultural norms. Language is powerful; if the trans-activists can change the language, the terms of the debate, they win the culture. And so far they’ve been very successful.

Resist. Refuse to accept the label.

Daily Broadside | Some Kids Got Killed But the Real Story According to the Media is Trans ‘Hate’

We don’t know a lot more about Audrey Hale, the young mentally-ill woman who shot dead three 9-year-olds and three 60-year-olds at a Christian school yesterday. But we’re learning a lot more about the trans community and their allies, of which she was a part.

Our noble media (*spit*) are blaming Republicans and Christians for what happened and spinning the story to make “trans” people the victims or to make the story about guns.

Fox News had this:

Forget that Audrey slaughtered six innocent people, including the three children. Instead, lecture those you despise with “Hate has consequences.” What are you implying, Trans Resistance Network? Seems to me the only one with “hate” around here is Audrey Hale.

And maybe you.

“Many transgender people deal with anxiety, depression, thoughts of suicide, and PTSD from the near-constant drum beat of anti-trans hate, lack of acceptance from family members and certain religious institutions, denial of our existence, and calls for de-transition and forced conversion,” TRN claimed.

“Anti-trans hate”? “Denial of … existence”? “Forced conversion”? You’d think the whole country was out hunting these people like fox hounds.

Matt Walsh addressed the shooting on his show yesterday.

Here’s a few paragraphs that I found helpful.

The transactivists are assured that, somehow, those who disagree with them are a threat to their very lives. Just by disagreeing. That those who do not affirm their self-identity are engaging in violence, simply by not affirming. That the refusal to affirm is essentially an act of murder, okay, because you’re murdering me by not affirming my self-identity, because my self-identity is the only identity that matters, and if you make me question my self-identity then you are basically killing me.

That’s the logic. And it is a logic that gives a green light to carry out atrocities. It is intended to do that. That is how it is intended. Let’s stop beating around the bush and pretending otherwise. This is what they want.

Every time someone, someone in the media, someone in D.C., anyone else, points at Christians, at conservatives, at any of us, and says, “They want genocide!” what they’re really saying is, “Deal with them! Shut them down! Silence them! Take them out!” That’s how the words are interpreted. How else could they be interpreted?! After all, if somebody was really carrying out a genocide, then violence would be the appropriate response.

Nobody I know wants to be targeted by transactivists for refusing to “affirm” a transsexual’s “identity.” But for most Christians, this poses a problem because it is clear that a person who is confused about whether they are a female or a male has some psychological issues. We don’t “affirm” someone who makes irrational claims. We get them help.

As believers, we also let them know that God loves them, right where they’re at, but we don’t let them stay in that confused state. We get them help. They need healing.

It’s a tough needle to thread.

This is the evil that we are up against. And evil is the point, here. Because, y’know, no matter who’s responsible for the latest burst of demonic evil, what lies at the root is the reality of human evil and a society that fosters this evil, and fertilizes it, to help it grow.

I think this is an important point. It’s not just that the people in charge are cultural Marxists; it’s not just that they celebrate the crazy over honoring historic and traditional norms; it’s that they encourage what is evil, what goes against “Nature and Nature’s God.” Our institutions, our politics, our universities, our entertainment, our mainstream heroes, are fostering evil.

We’ve become an evil empire. And why?

Whether it’s a trans person or anyone else carrying out the latest mass murder, the root is always a culture in a state of spiritual and moral decay. We’ve become a country filled with numb, detached, empty, desensitized people with no sense of underlying purpose.

Again, I’m brought back to John Adams’s statement because it so clearly underscores why things are off the rails in our country.

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” — John Adams, Letter to the Militia of Massachusetts, 11 October 1798

While there are exceptions, especially in our churches (but not always), the institutions that drive culture are no longer populated by “a moral and religious People.” And, therefore, says Adams, the Constitution they created is “wholly inadequate” to govern us.

Guns aren’t the issue. We’ve had guns for hundreds of years but it’s only been recently that “guns” have become a problem — that comes in the wake of a society that has forsaken God and actively fosters evil.

And that evil will go after the only thing standing in it’s way: Christians.

Daily Broadside | Woman Kills Six at Christian School; Link to Gender Confusion Suspected

Over the past few years I’ve written about specific attacks on people who are Christians because they are Christians — for examples, see here, here, here and here. My point is to be taking notes and pointing out that Christians are fair game in the culture war, and I expect it to get more overt.

None of the incidents I’ve chronicled have been violent, until yesterday, when a confused and spiritually ill young woman who pretended to be a man deliberately targeted a Christian school that she attended as a kid and shot to death three children and three adults.

Nashville Police announced on Monday they responded to a shooting at a private elementary school and preschool as officials confirmed three children and three adults died.

Officials identified the child victims as Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney, saying they are all aged 9.  The adult victims were identified Cynthia Peak, age 61;  Katherine Koonce, age 60; and Mike Hill, age 61; according to a post on Twitter.

Police Chief John Drake told reporters that the shooter was identified as Audrey Hale and that “she identified as transgender, yes,” when asked about whether she had. “At one point she was a student at that school,” he added hours after the shooting. “But unsure what year … but that’s what I’ve been told so far.”

Ms. Hale was confronted on the second floor of the school and shot dead by responding police. No motive has been determined yet, but investigators say they recovered a manifesto and other materials from her car. When asked if her “identity” may have been a motive, the Nashville police chief indicated that there was evidence to that effect. When asked if it was a targeted attack, the chief nodded and simply said, “It was.”

So we’ll have to wait and see what the motive was. My guess is that 28-year-old Audrey Hale blamed Christians for her misery and self-loathing.

The tone-deaf moron in the White House made a statement about the shooting, but not until he had made an ass of himself joking about ice cream and how he had a whole freezer of it upstairs.

President Biden was criticized Monday for his response to the Nashville school shooting after he joked that he only made a public appearance because he heard there would be ice cream before discussing the tragedy that claimed the lives of three adults and three children at an elementary school earlier in the day.

“My name is Joe Biden. I’m Dr. Jill Biden’s husband,” Biden said from the White House’s East Room in his first public appearance since a 28-year-old woman shot and killed three students and three teachers at a Christian private school in Nashville. “I eat Jeni’s ice cream — chocolate chip. I came down because I heard there was chocolate chip ice cream,” he continued. “By the way, I have a whole refrigerator full upstairs,” he added. “You think I’m kidding? I’m not,” Biden told the crowd.

I have it on the very best of authority that when the Resident was installed, “the adults were back in charge.” We can all see how that’s going as he yuks it up at a moment that calls for somber reflection. But that’s what passes for adulthood in this adminstration.

Brandon didn’t waste any time in turning the moment to his extreme contempt for the Second Amendment and exploiting the shooting to push for stricter gun control laws.

“We have to do more to stop gun violence. It’s ripping our communities apart, ripping the soul of this nation — ripping at the very soul of the nation. And we — we have to do more to protect our schools so they aren’t turned into prisons. You know, the shooter in this situation reportedly had two assault weapons and a pistol — two AK-47. So I call on Congress, again, to pass my assault weapons ban. It’s about time that we begin to make some more progress.” 

One thing I’m sure about is that we are no longer the “moral and religious People” that John Adams said were necessary under our constitutional government. Because we don’t control ourselves, the powers that be try to impose control through the law. But laws don’t change a heart — only Christ can do that.

As if on cue, here’s an advertisement floating around out there.

I would say that’s a call to violence. Do you suppose the DOJ and the FBI are all over it? I wonder if Ms. Hale was having her own “day of vengeance”?

Daily Broadside | Progressives, When Pushed, Can’t Handle the Truth

Daily Verse | Job 40:8
“Would you discredit my justice? Would you condemn me to justify yourself?”

Wednesday’s Reading: Job 41-42

Wednesday and a couple of nights ago we watched “What is a Woman?” starring author Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire. Bottom line on top: watch it.

In an age of progressive sexual insanity, Walsh sets out to ask experts, activists, and regular people on the street, “What is a woman?” You won’t be surprised to hear that most of them have no idea how to answer the question. Not only do they not know how to answer the question, a few of them threaten to end the interview—and one eventually does.

My wife and I sat there, astonished, at just how inverted (at least part of) our culture has become. It is so upside-down.

Like, Sodom and Gomorrah upside-down.

Then the Lord said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.” (Genesis 18:20-21)

Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” (Genesis 19:4-5)

Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. (Genesis 19:24-25)

To give you a taste of just how far some members of our society have fallen down the rabbit hole, here’s part of the conversation Walsh had with pediatric professor Dr. Michelle Forcier.

In their sit-down, she says kids are ready for ‘medical affirmation when they ask for it’ – even if it’s before they have reached puberty.

‘Medical affirmation begins when the patient says they’re ready for it.

‘That could be a kiddo who is just starting puberty and they’re panicking because they’re just getting breast buds, or their penis is getting bigger and busier and they’re worried about all kinds of masculine changes,’ the doctor said.

That is when she says doctors can safely prescribe puberty blockers, claiming they are ‘completely reversible’ and ‘don’t have permanent effects.’

‘[They are] wonderful because we can put that pause on puberty, just like you’re listening to music.

‘You put the pause on and puberty would go right back to where it was, the next note in the song, just delay that period of time.’

Dr. Forcier also told him that his sperm doesn’t make him male and that an objective truth does not exist.

‘Whose truth are we talking about?’ she said.

‘The same truth that says we’re sitting in this room right now you and I,’ Walsh replied.

She shot back: ‘No, you’re not listening.’

Walsh pushed back: ‘If I see a chicken laying eggs and I say that’s a female chicken, did I assign female? Or am I just observing a physical reality that’s happening?’

The doctor, rejecting his argument, said: ‘Does a chicken have gender identity? Does a chicken cry? Does a chicken commit suicide? A chicken has an assigned gender but a chicken doesn’t have gender identity.’

She also said it’s only an assumption that a chicken laying eggs is female.

Among the puberty blockers that are used is Lupron, which can also be used to treat endometriosis and prostate cancer.

It has been used in the past to chemically castrate sex offenders.

Fortunately, Walsh also interviewed a Dr. Miriam Grossman, who “spoke of the dangers of prescribing kids with the drugs too early and said she’d spoken to the mother of a teenage trans girl who now has osteoporosis.” Osteoporosis is an old person’s disease.

‘How can they be removing the healthy breasts of 15-year-old girls? How can they be sterilizing kids? How can this whole thing be happening, Matt?’ she said.

I kept asking the same question throughout the documentary: “How is this possible?” It was all so absurd.

It wasn’t until Walsh flew to Africa that there was finally some relief. There, he met with tribal leaders and asked them some of the same questions he was asking in the United States.

“If you want to become a lady but you’re a man, you have something wrong in your family. Something wrong in you.” Right.

It feels so weird to have to look for some semblance of normalcy in a third-world country instead of one of the most advanced countries in history. But those tribesmen are who I identified with—not the “experts” that Walsh interviewed.

The trans-cult is truly troubling because they’re denying biological reality in favor of “feelings” or “perceptions” or “my truth.” It is irrational, meaning not logical or reasonable, detached from what is, in fact, true. And the worst part of it is that those who subscribe to such irrationality expect you to affirm their delusional views.

Some of the “experts” that Walsh interviewed got very testy or talked in circular arguments when he pushed on their assumptions. One in particular, a University of Tennessee women’s studies professor, said it was “transphobic, rude and condescending” to seek objective truth rather than accepting what people tell you.

When Walsh asked him to define what a woman is, the same professor answered, “A person who identifies as a woman.”

Walsh: “But what are they identifying as?”

Professor: “As a woman.”

Walsh: “What is that?”

Professor: “As a woman.”

A woman is a … woman. That’s the definition.

And these are the people teaching our children.

These are the people grooming our children.

These are the people abusing our children.

The Left has pushed for a utopian future, but we’re well onto the leading edge of a creeping dystopian nightmare.

“What is a Woman?” is a swift kick to the shins. As we sit in our suburban homes and attend our suburban churches, there is an evil rot saturating every facet of our society that is being ignored. At what point will sane men and women mount a counter-offensive?

Should you watch the movie? Yes, and encourage others to do the same.

Daily Verse | 1 Kings 11:6
So Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord; he did not follow the Lord completely, as David his father had done.

Thursday’s Reading: 1 Kings 12-14

Thursday and the Pied Pipers of the Deranged Left continue forcing on our country their latest insanity and insisting that we all skip along behind them lest they shout “racist!” or “transphobe!” at us and cancel our very lives.

We’re all aware of the woke Lefties who run Disney Corp. and who were recently found to be actively and intentionally promoting the LGBTQUERTY+ sexual deviance in their products—products that are primarily aimed at young children.

When Rufo, who’s done a yeoman’s work on this issue, got pushback from fake conservative publication The Bulwark, he brought the receipts.

At the same time, there’s an effort in our public schools to … how to say it? … GROOM our children into the perverted world of deviant sex. To show you how far it’s gotten, here’s a report on a Denver middle school that has created a “trans closet.” What’s a trans closet, you ask?

The closets are specifically designed for students to hide their clothing from their parents, and the school is facilitating that deception (and charging the parents for it through their property taxes). But if you thought that these closets are just filled with clothes, there are more pernicious things inside like breast binders and instructions on how to tuck your penis. (One closet I found offered tutoring in this area, but it was not in a school but in a church—which is equally inexplicable.) Both of these practices, binding and tucking, are extremely damaging to the body and can cause lifelong injury. All of this is paid for by your tax dollars, housed in a school you paid for, and causing harm to your kids by usurping parental authority and encouraging children to lie to you and trust agents of the state—whose salaries you also pay. Don’t forget, these are the same schools that won’t give your kid an Advil without your written permission. Are we having fun yet?

This is in a middle school, my friends, with children about ages 11-15, depending on which grades are handled by which schools (sixth grade for me was still in elementary school).

I’m with Allie Beth Stuckey:

And now there’s a war of words over the word “groomer.” You may remember that there was a popular social media meme of the words “OK, boomer” that dismissed the attitudes associated with baby boomers. Some on the Right have adopted a reworked version of the phrase: “OK, groomer.”

The idea of grooming a child has always been connected to pedophilia, and now fake conservative and NeverTrump liberal Christian David French is whining about the nuances of the term “groomer” and how anybody using it is guilty of “pure malice” that’s “incredibly dangerous.”

Really, pastor French? You’re gonna slap a Christian camp horror show on us while we’ve got pink-haired teachers with nose rings out in the field who pledge to chat up our children as young as five-years-old about their sexual preferences and identity and ALL YOU’RE CONCERNED ABOUT IS THAT THE WORD “GROOMER” MIGHT NOT BE TECHNICALLY ACCURATE?

What a putz.

This woman, who detransitioned, gets it.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again now: the only thing these large corporations understand is the bottom line. If their earnings tank, heads roll and extremes are reeled back in.

Not only that, nobody NEEDS Disney. You do realize that, don’t you? Disney is a discretionary spend. No one “needs” to visit the Magic Kingdom. No one “needs” to purchase the latest Disney DVD. No one “needs” a Disney plush toy.

Disney is not life; only Jesus is that.

I think it’s hard for some parents to let go of the idealized family vacation to the Magic Kingdom, maybe because they went as a kid and they want their kids to have the same experience. But the House of Mouse isn’t what it used to be. If you don’t believe me, scroll through Rufo’s Twitter account and look at all the ex-Disney employees who have been prosecuted for being child sex predators, plus all the reporting that CNN (¡CNN!) did on that subject.

I personally think that our culture, which is so immersed in entertainment, could use a good detoxification so that we would all know that there’s more to life than sitting slack-jawed and passive in front of the screen, even if it is Disney.

Do it for the children.

Daily Broadside | An Intelligent Woman Says She Doesn’t Know What a Woman Is

Daily Verse | 1 Samuel 23:16
And Saul’s son Jonathan went to David at Horesh and helped him find strength in God.

Thursday’s Reading: 1 Samuel 24-26

It’s Thursday and the days drag by as we wait for our deliverance from the clown show being forced on us from all quarters. I wrote yesterday that Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson should not be confirmed to the Supreme Court because she is an unrepentant ideologue and liar who consistently under-sentenced child pornographers over the course of her career, essentially framing the pornographers as victims rather than the children who were exploited.

Add to that the latest imbecility and you’ll understand why I fiercely oppose her nomination. She doesn’t know how to define a “woman” because she’s, get this, “not a biologist.”

That is a disingenuous lie. I know what a woman is. You know what a woman is. And we’re not biologists either, are we?

Why can’t a supposedly intelligent female jurist say what a woman is?

She won’t say what a “woman” is because what the Cultural Marxist-Democrat-Media Industrial Complex says a woman is won’t fly with half the Senate or half the country. It’s a dodge.

If she’s dodging one of the simplest questions to answer, that means she’s hiding something and we all know what she’s hiding: she supports the trans-sexual movement.

She wants to be a supreme court justice so bad she’s willing to deny the truth by lying to the rest of us.

Not only that, but Brandon’s qualifications for his SCOTUS pick consisted of two characteristics: a “woman” and “of color.” If she doesn’t know what a woman is, how does she know she meets Brandon’s criteria? How does Brandon know? A Republican worth their sordid salary should’ve asked KBJ, “Are you a woman?” as follow up.

Here’s how John Hayward summed it up:

The funniest thing about Jackson’s “I’m not a biologist” dodge is that under current Democrat Party ideology, biologists are the absolute last people on Earth who have anything to say about the definition of womanhood.

Biology and science left the room a LONG time ago in the politicized discussion of human sexuality, and they won’t be invited back into the room any time soon. The entire point of transsexual ideology is the triumph of individual will and collectivist politics over biology.

This is highly relevant to Supreme Court confirmations, because militant transsexualism is all about using coercive force to make EVERYONE ignore biology. Trans fascism is quite literally about punishing anyone who brings biological science into the conversation.

There will be legal fights over trans fascism in the years to come, and when they reach the Supreme Court, radicals and their enablers have no business being there. KBJ was caught lying far too many times yesterday for anyone who knows what time it is to vote for confirmation.

These were not little lies she told, either. She lied about issues of great relevance to the American people, like critical race theory, pedophilia, and the 1619 Project garbage:

Five Key Points from Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Tough Day in the Senate

It’s illuminating that even at this late date, Democrats feel obliged to back away from the madness they gleefully impose on America’s children behind closed doors. They still can’t be loud and proud about their indoctrination programs. That’s a hopeful sign for the country.

But it matters a great deal that KBJ looks like another in the long line of Democrats who conceal their radicalism until they have the power to impose it on the rest of us. Our government is riddled with people like that, and it’s killing us. We need no more stealth radicals.

The story of the Left over the past half-century has been talking one way to the normies, when it’s time to cadge their votes or slip a nominee through confirmation hearings, but acting very differently when there’s no scrutiny. That’s why they fight so hard against scrutiny.

Supreme Court hearings are just partisan shouting matches and exercises of raw power these days, but if this were any kind of real deliberation or reasoned debate, KBJ would have disqualified herself yesterday. The GOP probably can’t stop this, but they should damn well try. /end

It’s time that Normal Americans stand up and call BS on this BS. Stop being afraid of “offending” someone or being called “racist” or “homophobic” or “hater” or some other verbal insult that the irrational truth deniers use to shut you up.

Stand for truth and common sense.
