The most punk rock thing Billy Corgan ever did was when he started to explicitly talk about God in his music.

[William Patrick Corgan @Billy]

“God is the third rail of rock and roll.”

Reflecting on faith, honesty, and choosing to talk openly about God in music.

The Demonic Attacks That Started After My Vision of Hell

“I believe I was shown hell. There was no sense of God or Christ or anything good. It was vacant, and all I could feel in my body was extreme fear and extreme anxiety. I met demonic entities. Supernatural things have been happening. I’ve been through four exorcisms with two different priests. It’s not going away. I’ve had picture frames fly off the wall. I’ve had manifestations happen inside of my body. I’ve had all kinds of weird stuff happen.”

“The devil absolutely hates anyone who brings the truth to others. He does all kinds of things to try to destroy people. The more you come to understand the truth, the more you’re attracted to the truth, the more you seek the truth in our Lord Jesus Christ, he’s going to give you trouble. It’s very important for you to have courage and not let him work this kind of devilment to lead us astray.”

“Parents are telling us that their kids come home upset, confused and uncomfortable about something that is happening at school. Parents shouldn't have to find out after the fact and piece together what happened at school.”

This is about transparency.

When parents express concern about a male K5 male teacher identifying as a female, they are not villains. They aren't hating on the teacher. They're loving, protecting, and concerned about children's well-being.

A biological male who identifies as a woman is teaching music to five-year-olds at Middle Creek Elementary. Parents weren’t told. Kids are expected to call him “Ms.”
One dad of three little kids at that school stood up and said what a lot of parents are thinking:
You don’t get to put adult gender ideology in front of my kindergartener and then tell me public school isn’t for people like me if I object.
He read the principal’s dissertation. Then he asked the real question: when the people who write about disrupting systems hold the institutional power, whose beliefs become the ones that need disrupting?
Then he closed it:
“God entrusted their upbringing to us — not to overeducated administrators with late-stage luxury beliefs. And that’s not hatred. That’s fatherhood.”

[Moms for Liberty @Moms4Liberty]

Middle Creek Elementary hired a biological male who identifies as a woman to teach music to kindergarteners. Parents found out after the fact.
One father of three stood up at the board meeting and refused to pretend this was normal.
“Parents shouldn’t have to pass an ideological test to participate in public education.”
He pointed to the principal’s own dissertation on equity-focused school improvement and asked the only question that matters: What happens when the ideology that wants to disrupt systems is the one holding the power — and parents’ beliefs are what need disrupting?
The institutional answer has been: If you don’t like it, leave. Pay taxes into the system, then pay again to escape it.

[Moms for Liberty @Moms4Liberty]

A biological male identifying as a woman is teaching elementary music at Middle Creek. Parents report children are expected to use female pronouns and “Ms.”

One mom asked the board for a single standard that applies to everyone: Evaluate teachers on qualifications, professionalism, and how they treat students — not on identity.

And no teacher gets to compel a child’s speech or force affirmation of a belief that conflicts with their family’s convictions.

“Teach them how to think, not what to think.”

"Fear of death is from the demons. They instill such fear in the soul in order to deprive one of hope in God's mercy." - Elder Nikon of Optina

Amnesty Marco hasn’t changed a bit

He’s doubled down on open borders rhetoric because that’s what he really believes

[Auron MacIntyre @AuronMacintyre]

When I started school 95 was an A, by the time I finished it was a 90

65 was an F, now it’s 24, but here’s the worst part

When I taught public school a large percentage of students couldn’t even pass with these incredibly low standards

Teachers were told in no uncertain terms to fix the failing grades or get fired

And if you didn’t comply principles would go in to your grade book and do it anyway

After Covid the very concept of grades became a joke

People have no idea what’s coming
