Who’d’ve thought that anti-human policies would result in fewer humans?

From abortions to green new deals, this is a lesson for us all.

[Rod D. Martin @RodDMartin]

2/ Official estimates say China has only ~190 million women of childbearing age. That number is much higher than reality.

The One Child Policy (1980–2016) and its echoes slashed entire generations. Sex-selective abortions made it worse.

The cohorts now entering prime childbearing years are themselves the children of the one-child policy — already a drastically smaller group.

Each generation compounds the previous deficit.

Well if this doesn’t sum up most human interactions.

but only in expressing his opinion.”

🚨 HUGE DEVELOPMENT: Sec. Markwayne Mullin announces DHS is drawing up plans to BLOCK ALL international flights into sanctuary cities by ending Customs screening there

This would DEVASTATE those cities.

Mullin is doing it as a direct result of sanctuaries refusing to cooperate

GOOD! We need consequences where it hurts!

"Why are we processing international flights into the airport there? And we are currently, which we're not issuing it yet, but we're currently drawing up plans to say, listen — in these sanctuary cities where the local radical left Democrats aren't allowing us to do our job and enforce federal laws, then we shouldn't be processing international flights into their cities either, because they don't want us to enforce immigration, but they want us to process immigration at their facilities!"

Every Honeycrisp apple is a clone of a single tree planted at the University of Minnesota in 1962. Every one. Apple seeds are random. Plant a Honeycrisp seed and the new tree produces a small, sour apple that’s usually inedible.

So apple growers do something old and clever. They cut a small branch off the original Honeycrisp tree, slot it into a slit in a young apple sapling, wrap the joint, and wait. The branch fuses to its new host and starts producing Honeycrisps. About 20 million Honeycrisp trees exist worldwide, every one a piece of that 1962 tree on different roots.

Same goes for Gala, Fuji, Pink Lady, Granny Smith. Every Granny Smith on Earth traces back to a seedling found in 1868 by a woman named Maria Ann Smith in Australia. She’d thrown French crab apple cores onto her compost heap, one of them sprouted, and the apples it bore were unusually tart and good for cooking. That one tree is the ancestor of every Granny Smith in every grocery store on the planet.

Wine has the bigger story. In the 1860s, a tiny aphid called phylloxera caught a boat from America to France, hidden in some grapevine cuttings. It eats grape roots. French vines had no defense and started dying everywhere. Within 15 years, French wine production crashed from about 11 billion bottles a year to 3 billion. The blight then tore through Italy, Spain, and Germany, and European wine was on the edge of collapse.

The rescue came from Missouri and Texas. American grapevines had grown up with phylloxera and were immune to it. So growers chopped French grape varieties off at the trunk and joined them to American roots. Above the soil: still French grapes. Below the soil: aphid-proof American root. It worked. Today, almost every bottle of French, Italian, Spanish, Australian, and Californian wine you’ve ever drunk sits on top of an American root.

The technique is ancient. Chinese farmers were grafting trees by 1000 BCE. A Greek medical text from 424 BCE describes it casually, like it was already old news. It works because plants don’t have a rejection system the way animals do. Cut two branches. Match the green layers just under the bark. Wrap them tight. In a few weeks the plumbing has fused into a single plant.

A Syracuse University art professor named Sam Van Aken has spent 18 years building a single tree that grows 40 different fruits: peaches, plums, apricots, cherries, nectarines, almonds. In spring it blossoms in pink, white, and crimson all at once. He’s made more than a dozen. They sell for up to $30,000 each.

Without grafting, there would be no commercial apple industry, no global wine industry, and most of the heirloom fruits humans have bred over the centuries would have gone extinct. One clean cut, and you’ve kept entire species alive.

Sin is the illegitimate child of you and your desire, and it will grow up to kill you.

Only Christ can stop it.

“This is why becoming interplanetary matters” is a faithless conclusion.

Earth isn’t going anywhere until God does away with it, to replace it:

“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.”

[Luis Batalha @luismbat]

In 2029, Apophis, a ~370m asteroid, will pass just ~31,000 km from Earth.

That’s ~1/10 the distance to the Moon.
Inside the orbit of geostationary satellites.
Visible to the naked eye.

Impact risk this time is low, but the flyby could shift its future trajectory.

A direct hit would mean a ~1 km crater and regional devastation.

That’s why becoming multiplanetary matters.

BREAKING: Enoch Burke’s mother and sister arrested and jailed

Martina and Ammi Burke were arrested by Gardaí today at Castlerea Prison after visiting jailed schoolteacher Enoch Burke, their son and brother.

Judge Brian Cregan sentenced them to two weeks in prison after they spoke out against his lies and unlawful actions in the case of Enoch Burke.

Martina and Ammi Burke had been teaching in Castlebar this morning before travelling to Castlerea for their scheduled visit at 2.15pm.

As they left the prison after concluding the visit, Gardaí were waiting outside to arrest them.

Lies have been told from the bench since September 2022 when Enoch Burke was first taken from his teaching post at Wilson’s Hospital School and thrown into a jail cell.

He refused to call a student by a new name and the “they” pronoun. He was subsequently suspended and has now spent over 600 days in prison.

Ireland’s church leaders have maintained a treacherous silence on this issue. Archbishops Eamon Martin and John McDowell speak frequently about battlefields far away - Gaza, Ukraine, the Middle East - but are silent on the battlefields in the schools of Ireland, on their own doorstep. Children in the classroom are being educated in every form of sexual perversion.

Martina and Ammi Burke have now been sent to Mountjoy Women’s Prison because they refused to be silent in the face of gross injustice from the bench.

Parents, rise up and speak out for your sons and your daughters.

[Jack Richardson IV @BluegrassJackIV]

Well, folks, here’s a topic I have every intention of beating to death: exposing the true @AndyBeshearKY, who is currently Kentucky’s governor and is now wanting to run for president. Now, here’s a picture of him describing his brand of Christianity and what being a moderate Democrat looks like.

Surprised? Well, you shouldn’t be, because he’s just another lying liberal Democrat.

And here’s another installment of one of the many lies Beshear tells: he boasts about Kentucky’s economy and particularly its lower tax rates. But what he won’t tell you is that he had nothing to do with the lower tax rates in Kentucky. In fact, he vetoed the bill to lower taxes and the Republican supermajority in the legislature overrode his veto.

So, get used to this: exercise: every time you hear Andy Beshear, first, realize it’s a lie, and second, if he is boasting about an accomplishment, realize that it was most likely a matter he first vetoed and then was overridden by the legislature.

[Anthony Langer @anthonymlanger]

@ElimGarak16 @PeriklesGREAT Au contraire, I think it was to show the absurdity of racism. They are being inconsistent and irrational by bonding over a mutual distaste for each other’s “race,” which is why it’s funny.

When “our vision of Christ” misunderstands the true Christ.

[Foundation to Abolish Abortion @AbolitionistFAA]

👀 @KentuckyRTL executive director @AddiaWuchner claimed that supporters of equal protection “may not always reflect our vision of Christ.”

@AddiaWuchner invoked John 8 to claim that women should never be penalized for willfully murdering their preborn babies.

Conservatives who attend church weekly are the least likely to have ever been diagnosed with a mental health condition.

Liberals who have low attendance are the most likely to have a diagnosis.
