A physician at a major children's hospital is blowing the whistle about transgender medicine, alleging that his colleagues have been captured by an ideology of "child sacrifice" and have "destroyed the lives of innocent children."

Is the British love for things like word games, trivia/pub quizzes, crossword puzzles, etc a thing peculiar to us, or at least peculiarly intense in the UK, or not? I have no idea, interested to know.

They might as well be at this point.

The "nation's report card" just came out. Scores dropping since 2020. But actually, 40 years of progress reversed in.... 2012, like so much else.

Get phones out of schools now.

This is haunting: A doctor at a major children's hospital explains how puberty blockers shut down a child's hypothalamus, which controls emotions, sexuality, and the aesthetic sense.

"To shut down that system is to shut down what makes us human."

Greg Laurie is making money off a spiritual racket that included using an active gay man as their draw for the youth of the 70s.

Watch the documentary, Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher, instead.

To give an example of the power of differential fertility, in 1950 Iraq had 5.7m people vs 103m in Russia, 1:18 ratio. 260k births vs 2.9m, 1:11 ratio, in 2022 Iraq had 1.34m births to 1.31m in Russia. In a single lifetime, 72 years Iraq has gone from 1/11 as many births to more.

2) "Thomas is the ‘doctor’, just as Augustine is the ‘pater ecclesiae’, upon whom all branches of the Christian Church still depend, and whose ecumenical significance no theologian, irrespective of [theological] orientation, can ever omit with impunity."

1) What if I told you that even Abraham Kuyper, a Reformed theologian who was *profoundly* critical of Aquinas' account of natural theology, said:

A year ago, I wrote about a 93-year-old woman who fell behind on her property taxes. So the government seized her home, sold it—and *kept the profit.*

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear her case. But there are many stories like hers, and they'll shock you. A thread.

@FischerKing64 When I was a child, Japanese tourists asked my family at a parking lot in Germany if they could take a picture of us as an example of a typical German family. My dad said yes and the whole Japanese tourist group stormed out of the tour bus for photos with us.

[FischerKing @FischerKing64]

Whites should travel in China, get a sense for how it feels to be looked at as something foreign and weird. It isn’t really a big deal. And the experience might make them less prone to indulge all the ‘whiteness’ nonsense, which wouldn’t exist without their indulgence.

By 19th century, Milu 麋鹿 have disappeared frm wild. The last herd survived in Beijing Imperial Hunting ground. French missionary Armand David obtained carcasses of a pair of Milu to send to France where French biologist named them Père David’s deer

[Carl Zha @CarlZha]

During Boxer Rebellion in 1900, foreign troops killed surviving herd of Milu 麋鹿 for sport in Beijing Imperial Hunting ground. Père David’s deer only survived in zoos outside of China

[Carl Zha @CarlZha]

Père David's deer thriving again in China.

The deer aka milu 麋鹿 or 四不像 in Chinese, once roam all over China. The last herd lived in Beijing Imperial hunting ground. missionaries smuggled them out of China aft sack of Beijing in 2nd Opium War.

As someone in a mixed-race marriage, I know these relationships are still very much the exception. Yet I’ve just watched another TV ad break showing the majority of couples to be mixed-race. It’s simply a bogus reality. The world of TV has become a relentless subliminal lecture.
