Species Is Just A Social Construct

     In overturning the most ancient and oblivious idea that marriage was a special union between a biological man and a biological woman, the Supreme Court seemed to endorse the idea that gender (if not biological sex) was a “social construct” and thus didn’t really mean anything as it pertained to marriage or other institutions that have historically acknowledged the obvious fact that humans are a sexually dimorphic species. Of course, if the scientific reality of biological sex is irrelevant, then is any biological scientific reality safe? According the penguins, the barometers of sexual scienceof course not.

“Former swimsuit model Elizabeth Hoad, 49, went on live television Tuesday in the UK to wed her 6-year-old golden retriever, Logan.

“‘I found the one and I love him,’ she says.

“Hoad, from Ascot, Berkshire, was a swimsuit model in the ’80s and had relationships with stars the likes of golfer Seve Ballesteros and Formula One driver James Hunt. But after a slew of unsuccessful dates over the years — some 221, she recalls — and giving birth to a son, now 25, Hoad decided the only man she could count on was her loyal Logan.

“Hoad and her lucky pup appeared on British morning talk show ‘This Morning’ to say ‘I do’ live in front of thousands of viewers.”

New Zealand’s War on Grocery Bags

     Fresh off stripping New Zealanders of their ancient right to personal arms and silencing dissent, the Mordor/Jacinda Aldern led government is now joining with woke environmental justice warriors in California and Europe.

“New Zealand officially banned single-use plastic shopping bags on Monday, introducing hefty fines for businesses that continue to provide them.

“Plastic pollution has become a growing global concern, with a million birds and more than 100,000 marine mammals injured or killed every year by becoming entangled in packaging or ingesting it through the food chain.

“Companies that break New Zealand’s ban will face heavy penalties, including fines of up to NZ$100,000 ($67,000).”

The U.K.’s National Health Service, And Moloch Worshippers, To Condemn Yet Another Imprisoned Toddler To Death

     The U.K.’s so-called National Health Service (NHS) is well known for imprisoning children and not letting parents seek better help elsewhere, as has been shown with Charlie Gard and Alfie Evans. Now, they are quite on form by trying to do it again.

“In a culture of death, British doctors destroy chance for life.

“Such is the case right now for Tafida Raqeeb, who is dying in a London hospital because her doctors refuse to release her to where she could be cured.

“The little five year-old has a rare and fatal blood vessel condition called ‘arteriovenous malformation.’ Specialists in Italy have expertise in treating that very condition, but the Royal London Hospital is keeping Tafida literally imprisoned in their facility.

“The Giannina Gaslini Institute in Genoa has assembled a medical team for Tafida, and is in contact with her doctors in London. The Sun quotes the Institute’s Italian doctors as predicting, ‘There is a good chance she will emerge from the coma she is in.'”

     Why? Why is the “free” NHS so hell bent on having children horribly die? Is it a sense that all children are Leviathan’s (i.e. the NHS’s) children? Do they just not want to be embarrassed by their own incompetence? Are they run by thrill-kill lunatics? It is mere hubris or something far, far more sinister?

Death, Rx

Firing Line Friday: Have We Learned Anything about Gun Control?

     In the hopes of encouraging a more civil, and illuminating, discourse, here is another episode of William F. Buckley, Jr.’s “Firing Line”.

     The question of guns and violence has been highlighted this past week. ‘Twould be interesting, then to look back on the gun debate from nearly forty years ago, back when the strongest anti-gun voice was from an elected Republican…ironic since some Congressional Republicans seem willing to concede ground on a fundamental in this day and age. It also demonstrates just one example of “what has been conserved” by conservatives who have been fighting for decades, despite the whining of mewling quims.

Elder Non-Gender Specific Sibling Is Watching Leviathan’s (Née Your) Children

     Which state looks at the People’s Republic of China’s “Social Credit System” and the novel 1984 and thinks “Hold my organic beer”?

     A budget bill trailer in California answers that question.

“Starting at birth and continuing until your kids are grown up and in the workforce, California’s new ;Cradle to Career Data System’ will collect data from ‘partner entities’ in order to ‘provide appropriate interventions and supports to address disparities in opportunities and improve outcomes for all students.’

“The ‘partner entities’ include (but are not limited to) ‘state entities responsible for elementary and secondary education data, entities responsible for early learning data, segments of public higher education, private colleges and universities, state entities responsible for student financial aid, childcare providers, state labor and workforce development agencies, and state departments administering health and human services programs.’

One Country, One Tyranny

     Back in 1997, when the British and Portuguese handed over Hong Kong and Macau, respectively, to the People’s Republic of China, the people of Hong Kong and Macau being handed over to the lion’s den were assured that, for at least a while, they would be able to retain their own systems, laws, and to a degree their governance, according to what became known as “one country, two systems”.

     However, as has already been shown with the recent protests in Hong Kong over an extradition bill, the Chinese Communists didn’t really mean the “two systems” part of the slogan.   Not limiting themselves with the power to grab any denizen of Hong Kong or Macau and try them in secret elsewhere (if the people so taken are that lucky), now the Communist regime wants to implement their tyrannical “social credit system” that rewards loyalty while punishing descent.

“[T]he provincial government of Guangdong Province released a three-year action plan (2018–2020) for the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area.

“…

“The new action plan lists 100 items, placed into nine different categories, such as building modern industries that are competitive internationally; improving living conditions and the business environment; and accelerating the process of opening up “a new front,” a Party slogan referring to economic reforms.

“In that category, the social credit system was mentioned. In particular, the Greater Bay Area would “explore the implementation of a rewards and punishment credit system for companies.”

“In another Guangdong Province document released on July 5, authorities explained that the plan aimed to further develop the “one country, two systems” model and integrate ‘credit and information sharing’ between Guangdong Province, Hong Kong, and Macau.”

The Wane of Monoculturalism

     If there is one glaring side-effect of “fighting like the Left”, it is that seems to necessitate “thinking like the Left”, or at least gravitate thinking thereto, not only as it pertains to tactics and strategy—superficially at least—but as it regards ideological underpinnings.

     Such as is the case with the criticism of “asymmetrical multiculturalism”. For the Left, it is a tool to divide people, not only amongst identity groups associated with the Left, but to reduce America into a small intersectional identity group with it tarred with the appellation of “oppressor”. They insist on all cultures, both real and invented, be not just tolerated, but affirmed and venerated, while denying the same to the now designated “oppressors”.

     Your humble author has long been an opponent of the divisive and Unamerican concept of “multiculturalism” and how it has been used as a stalking horse for attacking the common American monoculture. America is diverse: Diverse states, diverse local community, a diversity of thought. However, there is nonetheless a common and unifying heritage and American essence that binds Americans and is what makes Americans to be Americans as a distinct people. America is built up from the individual to families and local communities, to come together and hold sacred something that we not only share, but share because we believe in it and it is part and parcel of being American, as those individuals, families, and local communities are the building blocks for something that binds us—not because we are compelled or obligated—but rather because it is that higher commonality that is held so dear.

     Fighting for that monocultural and precious inheritance is difficult, especially when the tolerance and anti-uniformity sentiments of Americans is exploited by the Left; this is especially so when some go out of there way to fit the stereotype of a small minded bigot who believes that people can not become Americans and feels that even some who are natural born Americans are not “of the body”, so as to speak. Rather than fight the long and hard fight against multiculturalism, some have decided to embrace it, but with a reversal of which side in the Progressive’s laid out scheme is good and which side is the villain.

Ohio vs. The Gaia Cult

     Throughout the world, including the United States, make places are declaring that “nature” and ecosystems, such as rivers and glaciers. The city of Toledo, Ohio voted to give legal rights to Lake Erie. It turns out the state of Ohio wasn’t having any of that idiocy.

(B) Nature or any ecosystem does not have standing to participate in or bring an action in any court of common pleas.

(C)(1) No person, on behalf of or representing nature or an ecosystem, shall bring an action in any court of common pleas.
