I need to purchase more emergency food, given what’s happening these days. My current supply is mostly Mountain House with some MREs that I cycle through with camping trips (pre-lockdown). Do you guys know any cheaper sources? Maybe Wise Foods or Honeyville? I noticed the latter has freeze-dried vegetables and will probably try them regardless but anyway, my one-month reserve needs beefing up after my volunteer firefighting went Chinaballs Cray-zee.

I don’t want to rescue people anymore, anyway. They believe the lamest lies, don’t want maskless me in their society and are never, ever going to have my back.

The founder of “Marketplace Leaders” Ministry advises Christians facing increasing persecution in the workplace to… make yourselves a more visible target.

Christians should ‘reveal character of Christ’ in workplace despite societal hostility, author says

h ttps://www.christianpost.com/living/christians-urged-to-reveal-character-of-christ-in-the-workplace.html

By Ryan Foley, 21 March 2021

Although there is more opposition to Christian beliefs in today’s mainstream society, one author argues that Christians can still be witnesses for Christ in the workplace and be assets to their companies.

The very first sentence proves my thesis.

Os Hillman, the author of the recently released 31 Decrees of Blessing for Your Work Life and founder of the Marketplace Leaders ministry, discussed how Christians can live out their faith at work and support others who seek to do the same in an interview with The Christian Post.

He’s a career advertising executive turned motivational speaker. Did college on a golf scholarship.

An author and founder of a ministry advising people on how to live out their faith at work, Hillman stresses the importance of Christians serving as both “witnesses” and “problem solvers” in their workplaces.

Considering many Christians hold secular jobs outside of ministry, Hillman believes how Christ’s followers conduct themselves in the workplace will “reveal the character of Christ. since most people spend the majority of their waking hours at work.

Wow! Amazing! Until this moment, I always thought that how I conducted myself in the bathroom would reveal the character of Christ!

In his new book, Hillman encourages believers to “bring the power of God” to their workplace.

Hillman frequently referenced “cancel culture” throughout the interview, referring to the phenomenon in which influential voices in American culture seek to silence or punish those with unfashionable views, including Christians.

Sure, if “influential voices” means “every level of American government”.

Hillman offered some advice on how Christians can live out their faith at work while ensuring that they “don’t become victims to this whole cultural attack on believers.”

Have an exit plan? Secretly favor white Christians in defiance of government mandates? Blackmail the boss into tolerating his best-performing cis-males? Form an Anti-Cracker Defamation League?

“The first thing we need to understand is that you as a follower of Christ are the witness, whether you say anything or not, it’s … how you conduct yourself in your workplace that’s going to reveal the character of Christ,” Hillman said. “The second thing is that we need to be praying for our co-workers and those above us so that God can work through … you in their lives.”

His answer is a non sequitur.

“How should Christians respond to employers threating them for not endorsing sodomy?”

“The first thing we need to understand is that you as a follower of Christ are the witness, whether you say anything or not.”

Hillman urged believers to not only be problem solvers but to be “a valuable employee to your company.”

“That’s what Jesus did. He was a problem solver,” the author stated. “Every time he met somebody, he solved a problem first. And when we solve problems, we have influence.”

Nothing Jesus did was motivated by a desire to live up to corporate jargon. He redeemed humanity; He did not “influence humanity by solving the problem of returning from the dead”.

He said Christians should “stand firm” and use the “legal rights” to ensure that they are “free to be able to exercise” their voice.

“[D]on’t use company time to discuss faith issues,” he advised. “[Use] your coffee breaks or [free time] before or after work so that you’re not accused of stealing time from your employer. And you … want to honor the company that you work for.”

Ozzie is dangerously out of touch. Perhaps his next grift should be a continuing-education seminar.

Hillman told CP that he began Marketplace Leaders in the mid-1990s. At the time, he began to see that “many Christians had a difficult time understanding how to integrate their faith life in their work life..

.So I realized that there wasn’t a lot of training for that, and I began sharing through … a devotional called TGIF . Today God is First . that helps people understand how to integrate their faith life into their work life. And it caught along,. he said.

I’m sure his cutesy spoof on “thank God it’s Friday” was the breakthrough advance in evangelism that the Church has been looking for. Bosses everywhere will now relax when their top performers mutter “TGIF”.

.Certainly, in the last 15 years, we’ve had much more awareness among believers to understand the value of … bringing Christ to our work [and] life call..

Hillman believes that many Christians remain unaware of their rights to share their faith with colleagues.

GunnerQ believes that Hillman’s workplace ministry has done sod all good for fifteen years.

“We’re entering a time of great persecution for those in the faith. We need to stand and understand our Second … Amendment Rights and we also need to understand our religious liberties,. he added. .We are protected by that free speech. But many believers are ignorant about what their protections are. And so we try to help them understand that as well.”

Here comes the money shot!

Should Christians find themselves in a hostile work environment where they frequently face pushback for trying to live out their faith on the job, Hillman advises they stand their ground “as much as possible..

.[B]ut if the situation becomes untenable to where you are unable to function or to do your job and you’re constantly being derided by people for … your values and your belief system, you could be forced into … making a stand legally for that,. he argued. .Or if you’re not a person willing to do that, then you’re forced to leave.”

“Sometimes, I’ll have people say to me, .you just don’t know what kind of boss I have.” And I say, .Well, I can’t imagine that your boss is more difficult than Joseph’s boss or Daniel’s boss or Nehemiah’s boss,.. he added. “I mean, they lived … under some very difficult circumstances where they were persecuted for their faith and persecuted for what they believed in … at the cost of the potential loss of life had God not intervened and done a miracle in those cases.”

Hillman, you have chosen the hill you want to die on, man. The bosses of Joseph, Daniel and Nehemiah.

Joseph was falsely accused of sexual assault by his boss Potiphar’s wife. Listen and believe! Boss believed the skank-ho accuser and threw Joseph into prison. Yeah, Ozzie, tell us about how our bosses today are NOTHING like that!

Daniel’s boss LIKED Daniel and had no problem with Daniel worshiping God. That turned out to be the problem. Babylon’s Deep State hated an incorruptible outsider being put in authority over them and twisted the legislative process to produce a non-crime that Daniel couldn’t avoid committing.

That sounds familiar, too. Trump… homophobia… misogyny… nothing is new under the sun. That means we could follow Daniel’s example and be fed to the mobs, er, lions, too! Perhaps Ozzie would claim that not taking the risk is a lack of faith in God. Perhaps I would point out that Ozzie is writing checks that he expects somebody else to honor.

Nehemiah? Nehemiah WAS the boss.

You’re 0 for 3, Hillman! Thank you for playing

When asked how Christians can support faith-based and Christian-owned businesses that frequently become the target of criticism in “cancel culture,” Hillman maintained that the Body of Christ “must rally around those who are taking a stand.”

He specifically cited Christians flocking to the fast-food chain Chick-fil-A as an example. He recalled the time LGBT advocates were pushing a boycott against Chick-fil-A over their objection to CEO Dan Cathy’s biblical beliefs on sexuality.

.But instead, the Christian community came out and supported them in incredible ways, and it was one of the largest sales … days they’ve ever had in the history of their company,” he stated.

And then an infiltrator got promoted and put a stop to that resistance. Could a “Marketplace Leaders” ministry help businesses identify such entryists? No, what businessmen need today is a book about ’31 Blessings’!

Hillman also praised Hobby Lobby for taking a stand against an Obamacare Health and Human Services mandate requiring businesses to provide employee healthcare plans that cover abortion-inducing drugs.

According to Hillman, believers “need to remove their support” from companies that “stand for unrighteousness.” He urged the faithful to “vote with our pocketbook to be able to influence the activities of companies.”

That didn’t last, either. Ozzie contributed to neither of those situations so far as he’s admitted.

Like many other Christians, Hillman expressed concerns about the implications that the Equality Act will have for Christians seeking to live out their faith at work or business owners who incorporate their religious beliefs in their business practices.

The Equality Act would codify discrimination protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity into federal law.

“This legislation certainly will remove some of the protections Christians have to be able to refuse employment to those that may be … involved in a lifestyle that would be contrary to the Christian value system,. he said.

Describing the Equality Act as “one of the biggest things that’s going to impact Christians,” he warned that it “could ultimately lead to the removal of tax deductions to churches. that don’t embrace same-sex marriage.

Behold the color of Ozzie’s heart: cash green.

Now Monopoly has been targeted for destruction… by a battleaxe of a cat-lady attorney!

Goodbye Second Place in A Beauty Contest, Hello Shopping Local! Monopoly Is (Finally) Updating the Community Chest Cards . and You Get to Decide How

h ttps://investor.hasbro.com/news-releases/news-release-details/goodbye-second-place-beauty-contest-hello-shopping-local

By Jen DeAngelis, 18 March 2021

Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS) announced today that for the first time in its 85+ years, Monopoly will be changing all 16 of its Community Chest Cards. True to its longstanding history of inviting its fans to help make changes to the game, and during a time when community means more than ever before, Monopoly is asking consumers worldwide to determine the new cards by voting at MonopolyCommunityChest.com.

While soliciting customer feedback is legitimate, no actual customers wanted this revision… not edition… of Monopoly. So what we have here, is a feminist gutting the game and then not caring overmuch about what replaces it. The beauty contests must go! and I dunno, what would YOU like to see in its place from this short list of Agenda 21-approved action items?

Covering topics like beauty contests, holiday funds, and life insurance, there is no denying the Monopoly game’s Community Chest Cards are long overdue for a refresh.

I would certainly not get into the life insurance business in Current Year! And who celebrates holidays anymore? Holidays are illegal.

And, coming out of the tumultuous year of 2020, the term “community” has taken on a whole new meaning. Hasbro is counting on their fans to help reflect what community means in their real lives, into the Monopoly game, by voting for new cards like “Shop Local., .Rescue A Puppy. or “Help Your Neighbors..

The person pushing this change… I are not allowed to assume her gender, although “ovoid” would be a good guess… will have blue hair in a NYC pixie haircut, a nose ring and a chest flatter than Potato Joe Biden’s new stairwell.

Does “help your neighbors” mean you’re forced to pay for the exit of whoever is in jail at the moment?

When you think about it, the entire concept of “community chest” is outdated. Monopoly should be revised to rely on Universal Basic Income.

Oh, that’s right! Pass Go and Collect $200. That didn’t prevent wealth accumulation in-game but real life will surely be different! Billionaires will own nothing and be happy!

Let’s pay a little visit. Hmm, the voting is either/or rather than “none of the above!”

h ttps://www.monopolycommunitychest.com/

Which do you prefer?

“You donate your birthday money to a community center. Keep a little for yourself. $10” OR “You donate blood. There were free cookies! $10”

Punk you, beech! I keep ALL of my birthday money because it’s MINE! Similarly, I’m keeping all of my blood. Although I voted for the latter because I like the idea of finding ten bucks in a fortune cookie.

“You set aside time every week to talk hang out with your elderly neighbor neighbor–you’ve heard some amazing stories! $100” OR “You volunteer to run the social media accounts for a non-profit art center, and you meet some pretty talented people! $100”

Why does the “volunteer” card pay you $100? That is not the definition of volunteer. But the other card has the same problem. So the real question is, which mindless fool would you prefer to steal $100 from? The Baby Boomer, of course, because the CIA takes it personal when you dip in their money laundering.

“Your cousin forgot their wallet! You happily pay for dinner. $-50” OR “Your fuzzy friends at the animal shelter will be thankful for your donation. $-50”

Hmm, they both have typos. The former should read “your girlfriend forgot her wallet” and the latter, “Your girlfriend at the animal shelter will be thankful for you donation.” Yeah… I guess they’re both the same card, aren’t they?

“You volunteer your art skills and paint a mural at the local school. $50” OR “You organize a group to clean up your town’s walking path.”

I would happily accept $50 in return for creating a school art installation:

Much safer than picking up dirty syringes and puddled feces!

Speaking of, what kind of unholy rotting bullshit is this?!

“You help your neighbors clean up their yards after a big storm. $200” OR “You organize a family reunion! $200”

It’s obviously a woman making these cards because she’s constantly trying to monetize her social relationships. Old Monopoly did it better:

Seriously, Hasbro is replacing “win a beauty contest” with “meet your in-laws”?

“Just when you think you can’t go another step, you finish that foot race–and raise money for your local hospital! Advance to Go, $200” OR “You shopped local ALL WEEK! Advance to Go, $200“

“You rescue a puppy–and you feel rescued, too!” Get out of jail free” OR “Your friends video chat with you after a tough day. Get out of jail free”

Exactly how is only being allowed to see your friends via video NOT being in jail?

“You organize a block party so people on your street can get to know each other. $10 from every player” OR “You pass out umbrellas to people standing at a bus stop on a rainy morning. $10 from every player”

Double fail. The people on my street don’t even share a common language and a couple of them would have hysterics if exposed to maskless me. I’m a hugger! Meanwhile, why would I donate umbrellas to people too stupid to know when it’s raining, while they’re standing at bus stops intentionally oversized enough to impede traffic flow?

“You didn’t shop local! $-50″ OR “You buy a few bags of cookies from that school bake sale! Yum! $-50”

Monopoly used to be about paying bills and building improvements, now it’s about sustainable consumerism.

“Blasting music late at night? Your neighbors do not approve. Go to jail” OR…

*click* Hey, these aren’t ALL bad. (The other was not returning a wallet,)

“You volunteer as a homework helper and learn stuff, too! $100” OR “You spend the day playing games with kids at a local children’s hospital $100”

I wonder what women would do if they got that Universal Basic Income that they keep demanding. It’s so hard to guess! I mean, they could do ANYTHING, like make babies, or play with kids, or volunteer with kids, or play games with babies… or cook meals at home, or gardening at home, or have a party at home, or… anything, really.

“Build a new school playground and test the slide. $100” OR “volunteer at a local literacy center…”

It’s a library, not a ‘local literacy center’. Ungood, female citizen! Ungood!

“You go to the local school’s carwash fundraiser–but you forgot to raise the windows! $-100” OR “You held a neighborhood party–but didn’t recycle the trash!” $100

Eww, female insecurities!

“Host international students for a home-cooked meal” OR “didn’t volunteer for home improvement”

These are all about women. What would community cards for men look like, I wonder?

“Your wife ‘found herself’ in Vegas. $-100” OR “You mate-guarded against Bruno. Pay dentist $-100”

Real Community 2021!

“You weed the community college and discover a new bug!”…

…OR “You organize a bake sale $25”.

Yes, it’s a $25 bug. Somehow.

“You help your neighbor bring in groceries” OR…

*DRUM ROLL*

“YOU KNIT COZY SWEATERS FOR THE HAIRLESS CATS AT THE ANIMAL SHELTER”

Boxed wine optional, BWA HA HAAAA!!!

Whew, the road was long but the end was worth it!

Now then, where was I?

To further show the Monopoly brand’s commitment to community, they will be hosting the first ever Monopoly Charity Classic with a $350,000 Community Chest fund up for grabs. Fans can tune in to this celebrity-filled game of Monopoly, being played in the spirit of helping communities, this Spring on YouTube. Four celebrities will play to win a portion of the Community Chest to be donated to the charity of their choice, empowering them to make a positive impact within their own community. During the game, players and viewers will be among the first to see some of the new Community Chest Cards voted into the game by fans.

The celebrities have either not been chosen yet or are paywalled on Twitter.

.The world has changed a lot since Monopoly became a household name more than 85 years ago, and clearly today community is more important than ever,. said Eric Nyman, Chief Consumer Officer at Hasbro. .We felt like 2021 was the perfect time to give fans the opportunity to show the world what community means to them through voting on new Community Chest Cards. We’re really excited to see what new cards get voted in!.

Ah, the man of the hour!

He’s more masculine than I’d expected. If Nyman really is responsible for this then I’ve grossly lost my opening bet that “she” would be a flat-chested ovoid NYC feminist. But no… Surely no man could be so feminized as to write THOSE cards?

Per h ttps://www.vwu.edu/about/news-and-events/features/story/hasbro-president-eric-nyman-announced-as-founders-day-speaker

As president of Hasbro North America, Nyman is responsible for sales and marketing for the entire U.S. market. Prior to his role as president, he served as general manager and senior vice president of marketing at Hasbro, and also worked in brand management roles for Timberland and LEGO.

Nyman earned a bachelor’s degree in history from Virginia Wesleyan in 1994. While at Wesleyan, he played basketball and tennis for the Marlins and completed an internship at the Virginia Beach Surf & Rescue Museum. He was the first Virginia Wesleyan student to apply for a Rhodes Scholarship…

I don’t think he got it, which is good news for his soul.

…and went on to earn an MBA from the Boston College Carrol School of Management. He lives with his wife and two daughters in Providence, Rhode Island, and currently serves as a member of the Virginia Wesleyan University Board of Trustees.

DODO! Dad Of Daughters Only! It’s hard to resist the feminist tide and exceptionally hard when you’re the only man in the house.

Not looking good for my prediction. But wait, there’s another possibility!

Hasbro Announces New Global Purpose Organization Will Be Led by Kathrin Belliveau

h ttps://www.kingsleygate.com/website/executive-moves/blog-consumer-retail/hasbro-announces-new-global-purpose-organization-will-be-led-by-kathrin-belliveau/

January 2021, so the date matches up with some investor reports I found announcing this change.

Hasbro has formed a new Global Purpose Organization, which aims to improve the world for children and families. The company has appointed Kathrin Belliveau as Chief Purpose Officer, where she will oversee efforts among Global Government Relations, Global Communications, Corporate Social Responsibility, Sustainability, Ethical Sourcing and Philanthropy and Social Impact to enhance the company’s global impacts.

Holy GloboCorp, Batman! The only way she could be more monstrous is… if she was…

Kathrin will report to Brian Goldner, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Kathrin has served Hasbro in several capacities since joining the company in 1997. She began her career with the company as an Attorney, and most recently served as Senior Vice President of Global Government, Regulatory Affairs and CSR.

Textbook feminist physiognomy! NYC haircut confirmed but no nose ring or blue hair. Not ovoid but definitely flat-chested. Thousand-cock stare. Hmm, alcoholism typically gives the face a flushed look, not present here, but makeup can do a lot. (She’s a high-powered corporate lawyer, ergo alcoholic, don’t tell me otherwise.) And speaking of Batman, that’s one heck of a manjaw.

That’s a reeeally long neck. Huh.

So, she got to about age 50 as a high-level attorney and then convinced the Powers That Be… specifically Nyman, if I read the org charts correctly, Hasbro leadership seems top-heavy… to transfer her from global regulations to a specially created position of hating the pretty young women that her career never allowed her to be. A bitter cat lady eliminating the girl-ness that she never got to enjoy for herself.

And Nyman can’t see the massive losses about to hit his company because of his unwillingness to tell hags that beauty contests are normal, healthy and for most people, fun. Not that Hasbro isn’t already doomed; from my first article,

Hasbro is committed to making the world a better place for all children and all families through corporate social responsibility and philanthropy. Hasbro ranked among the 2020 100 Best Corporate Citizens by 3BL Media, has been named one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies? by Ethisphere Institute for the past ten years, and one of America’s Most JUST Companies by Forbes and JUST Capital for the past four years.

And that, folks, is why we can’t keep our happy childhood memories.

I miss doing true crime. Ever since Chinaballs started bouncing, it’s been all illegal immigrant this and elected official that and Joker memes everywhere. Man bites dog, coyote sells kids into sex slavery, etc. Crime just isn’t what it used to be…. it used to be illegal.

While this story doesn’t break the trend, it’s an excellent postcard of the state of modern law enforcement plus a happy ending.

Illegal immigrant from Mexico wanted for raping two young girls shot, killed by police in Texas

h ttps://www.theblaze.com/news/illegal-immigrant-rape-children-killed-texas

By Paul Sacca, 20 March 2021

A previously deported illegal immigrant who was a wanted man for felony charges of rape involving two young children was reportedly shot and killed by police in Texas this week.

Yet another repeat criminal turned out to be a criminal. Why is that not a tautology? Back in my college days, I rolled my eyes when the logic professor taught the axiom “A implies A”. Now I know that he was protecting us from ending up at Harvard.

Juan Jimenez-Salas, 46, was accused of repeatedly molesting the two young daughters of his Arkansas girlfriend, authorities said. The father of the girls, both under the age of 10, informed authorities in November that he suspected that Jimenez-Salas was sexually abusing the girls, who are 6 years old and 8 years old. The young sisters allegedly told their father that while traveling with their mother they were raped at a hotel room in McKinney, Texas, Captain Scott Harwell with the El Dorado Police Department in Arkansas told KDFW-TV.

Oh come on, I can SEE the whiteout on that. Even in the Digital Age!

Segue 1

h ttps://kcue.q-mediadigital.com/partner-news/illegal-immigrant-from-mexico-wanted-for-raping-2-young-girls-is-killed-by-texas-cop-report/

Authorities had been searching for Jimenez-Salas since November, when the girls. father in North Texas told police he believed Jimenez-Salas had been raping the Texas man’s children. The girls had reportedly told their father they were raped in a McKinney, Texas, hotel room while traveling with their mother and the suspect, Harwell told FOX 4.

Segue 2

h ttps://www.fox4news.com/news/man-killed-by-arlington-police-was-illegal-immigrant-wanted-for-rape

Harwell says their investigation began a few days after Thanksgiving 2020 when a Grayson County father reported that Salas had been sexually abusing his 6- and 8-year-old daughters in both Collin County and El Dorado. He says Jimenez-Salas was the boyfriend of the girl’s mother and had been living with her in El Dorado.

Exactly what I suspected. How do these bad actors get access to little kids? Mommy kicks Daddy out of the house, 9 times out of 10. One notices that Daddy was in Texas while Mommy was in Arkansas… that was not an intact family.

End segues

A U.S. Marshals task force got involved with the investigation of Jimenez-Salas, who was wanted on 11 felony charges, including five counts of rape and six counts of indecency with a child.

“Approximately 20 years ago, he was arrested on felony charges similar to that on what we have on him in this case now,” Capt. Harwell said. “And he was deported back to Mexico.”

We’re a nation of immigrants! They only come here seeking a better life! And free treatment for exotic, contagious diseases! And drug trafficking! And voting for more welfare! And child molestation with hybristophiliac feral skanks!

On Friday, law enforcement used the GPS on the phone of Jimenez-Salas to track down the illegal alien from Mexico in Tarrant County, Texas. Capt. Harwell said, “We lucked up and had a phone number that we were able to track and in that lead gave us information tying us to Arlington, Texas.”

Hello, surveillance state. I finally broke down and got a smartphone during the Commiefornia lockdowns so I could talk to my friends but I gotta say, stories like this give me severe buyer’s remorse. Although my flip phone was probably equally trackable.

At least police need a warrant to GPS-triangulate him… or did they?

Local police officers in Arlington who were assigned to the U.S. Marshals North Texas Fugitive Task Force conducted a traffic stop on Jimenez-Salas after he purportedly committed a traffic violation.

A standard, longstanding police procedure… but how is it, I wonder, that they could legally track his phone but not legally search his vehicle? I don’t know but there are laws being passed right now in California and surely elsewhere, granting automatic access to Big Tech data for various, sometimes unnamed government and corporate agencies.

Then again, if Barbie gave Salas her smartphone then not-yet-an-ex-Husband would have been the account holder of it.

Then again, it might have simply been a question of jurisdiction.

People not knowing this kind of thing is why our society is devolving into conspiracy theories and paranoia. The complexity of our modern world, not just technology but law and culture and medicine and finance also, is impossible for any one man to comprehend. Often intentionally so. Cockroaches need their dark corners in order to thrive.

Jimenez-Salas allegedly pointed a handgun at an Arlington police officer, who reacted by shooting and killing the armed man.

I do love a happy ending but that strikes me as too convenient. Eh, I don’t care. There are the rules and there are the reasons the rules exist, and the reason we have a criminal justice system is to ensure that hardened criminals like Jimenez-Salas end up dead as quickly as possible.

If only the mother could be next. She is also a hardened criminal.

Both girls were reportedly safe with their father in North Texas. The whereabouts of their mother are unknown, but authorities said she was notified of her boyfriend’s death.

Mommy is on the run! Yet no article I perused dared to mention that she was an accomplice to the raping of her own children.

I could find it in my heart to pity the Trump Administration ex-staffers except for what the success stories look like.

Trump aides seeking jobs ‘blocked everywhere’

h ttps://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/trump-aides-seeking-jobs-blocked-everywhere

By Paul Bedard, 19 March 2021

You can count on two hands the number of top aides to former President Donald Trump who have landed new jobs.

Former spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany is at Fox. Trump communicators Julia Hahn and Judd Deere joined newly elected Tennessee Sen. Bill Hagerty. The Heritage Foundation expanded its immigration team by giving fellowships to former acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf, his deputy Ken Cuccinelli, and former border boss Mark Morgan.

It’s like recycling garbage. Check that, it IS recycling garbage. Protecting Deep State bureaucrats from spending one single day the dreaded private sector.

But for most others, resumes are gathering dust, book manuscripts are being rejected, and corporations are being threatened with boycotts if they hire members of Trump’s team.

.They are being blocked everywhere,. said Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union.

On the one hand, they don’t deserve to be blacklisted like this, least of all by the people who whined about blacklisting when it was being done to them. On the other hand, watching Deep State roaches fail to find the usual comfortable sinecures in the Alternative Ivory Towers of D.C. and have no actually marketable skills to fall back on, gives me a savage joy.

Time to be a small fish in a large pond, ye former Masters Of the Universe! Learn to code!

It.s “natural for the party that lost the White House, just as we saw after the Bush and Obama administrations, to spend a few months in the wilderness, so to speak,. added Brian Walsh, a partner at PLUS Communications.

But this time feels different, and many critics have said it is deserved.

.They took a wrecking ball to the ‘swamp.’ Why would the ‘swamp’ want them back?. a top K Street lobbyist asked.

There was no wrecking ball. Some regulations got lifted and for a couple weeks, it looked like Trump might have been serious about downsizing the bureaucracy. I suppose to the Perfumed Princes, that was a living hell.

Eric Dezenhall, an author and Washington communications adviser, said it is going to be hard for Trump staffers to land jobs quickly, especially with corporations, due to concerns that the White House played fast and loose with the truth.

He’s got a new book coming out on the topic so I infer he’s not a Trump staffer. Seeing as somebody is willing to publish him.

.I had one client say to me that they’re avoiding people from ‘Trumpworld’ because they are afraid that hiring from somebody from that world right out of the gate will provoke somebody into accusing them of lying,. Dezenhall said.

.The Trump crowd was able to traffic in dubious information, but they could do that as long as he was in power. When he loses that power, they’re now victims of the same character assassination,. said Dezenhall, whose new book False Light tackles that issue.

Mmm, sweet schadenfreude! The Republican Party loved to play the game of noble defeat right up to the end… the end of letting the Democrats steal the election in broad daylight. Now they’re no longer needed because they couldn’t recognize a killshot when it slapped them in the face.

He added that Trump staffers have another strike against them. Republicans are not what corporations want because most have liberal management.

That’s the price of four years spent doing NOTHING about the Fascist state. This didn’t happen in a day. Neither was Trump Derangement Syndrome a problem that snuck up on these people.

.The people who worked for Republican presidents have always had baggage that others have not had, and because corporations are desperate to be loved by people who don’t like them, they’re well known to recruit more heavily from Democrats,” Dezenhall said.

Analysis: true!

His advice was for Trump administration staffers to avoid attention, take any job in their issue lane, and try again in a year.

Analysis: stupid! Because Drumpf will still be hated next year. He’s not leaving politics behind, right?

Longtime Washington communicator Ron Bonjean, a partner at ROKK Solutions, agreed.

.For those who want to stay in the Washington area, finding jobs with corporate offices and high-profile trade associations are probably going to be difficult to land,” he said. “However, there are a number of right-of-center consulting firms along with new and existing policy campaigns that are going to be much more welcoming.”

If they actually want to stay in Pyongyang-On-the-Potomac then I hope they suffer in every way possible. They’re power-hungry pansies who cling so desperately to the halls and trappings of power, that they’d rather die as untouchables in a police state than reinvent themselves as ordinary Americans in flyover country. They deserve this fate.

Those who realize they’ve lost power for the final time, can take a hard look at their own beliefs and realize they’re been serving an Evil Empire for far too long. I don’t mean the Socialists: I mean the entire American system of government going back to the disenfranchisement of ordinary American men.

Next up: the Democrat staffers learn how much fun it is to work for Satan’s inner circle. If these Republicucks try VERY hard then they might get to experience that, too! While pitying their former peers who escape to the private sector to live free.

Some crimes punish themselves.

I’ve only been skimming the headlines of the Ghislane Maxwell trial. It’s been one delaying tactic after another with little activity to report. Then I saw this article about both the prosecution and defense agreeing to not release info, clicked and whoa… presiding Judge Nathan is not a man. Not at ALL.

Judge: Certain Ghislaine Maxwell Details Too “Sensational and Impure” for Public Release

h ttps://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/03/18/judge-certain-ghislaine-maxwell-details-too-sensational-and-impure-for-public-release/

By Joshua Caplan, 18 March 2021

A federal judge in New York City ruled Thursday that various redactions sought by both alleged Jeffrey Epstein madame, Ghislaine Maxwell, and prosecutors should remain in place.

U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan agreed to multiple redactions proposed by Maxwell, while okaying a majority of the redactions requested by government lawyers.

When both sides of the trial request that the details of “blackmailing senior government officials by encouraging them to rape children on camera” be kept secret because the public would be TOO interested in them, it’s a dirty trial. Not that I expected clean but here’s the smoking gun.

Law & Crime reports: Judge Nathan did side with Maxwell on several additional redactions proposed to transcripts submitted as part of the government’s filing, finding that to make those details public would only tend to cater to an appetite for the “sensational and impure.. …

In February, Maxwell lost a bid to keep secret an excerpt from a 2016 deposition regarding sex toys.

I don’t recall great scandal happening as a result of that.

Maxwell, 58, is in a federal lockup in Brooklyn awaiting a July trial on charges that she recruited three teenage girls in the 1990s for Epstein to sexually abuse.

In December 2020, Maxwell was once against denied bail, citing her status as a serious flight risk.

Judge Nathan said Maxwell poses a serious flight risk due to her wealth and holding citizenship in more than one country.

Ouch! Judge Nathan played the “You’re a Jew!” card on Maxwell and got away with it! How did she manage that?

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.

Alas poor Smeagol, Judge Nathan is an outspoken Jewish lesbian who lives ‘married’ with her lover and two adopted boys. Which raises the question of whether she’s a Minor-Attracted Person. I can’t answer that but here’s some hard stuff:

Congratulations Judge Nathan

13 October 2011

Congratulations to Alison Nathan, an openly lesbian former Associate White House Counsel, whom right-wingers almost scared the Senate into failing to confirm. The bad guys failed, and the confirmation succeeded by a 48 to 44 vote. Ali will join the Southern District of New York, where she will sit alongside (figuratively) openly gay judges Deborah Batts and Paul Oetken. Nathan and Batts are the only two openly lesbian federal district court judges; Oetken is the one and only openly gay male federal district court judge.

The most heavily invoked reason for conservative opposition during the debate over Nathan was not her sexual orientation or even the code word fear of “judicial activism.” Instead, bizarrely enough, Sen. Jeffrey Sessions spoke for 18 minutes mostly about her openness to considering law from outside the U.S. in her rulings.

There is nothing bizarre about denouncing a judge (with dual citizenship, no less) for invoking foreign laws. The legal term is treason, I believe.

Conservatives seized on a book chapter that Nathan wrote about international human rights issues: “Arresting Juxtapositions: The Story of Roper v. Simmons. in Human Rights Advocacy Stories. Conservative legal commentator Ed Whelan condemned the chapter’s endorsement of the ..internalization. of international human rights law arguments. into Supreme Court decisionmaking on constitutional issues.

Nathan is a confirmed globohomo.

Prior to her White House work, Nathan clerked for Justice Stevens, worked at Wilmer Cutler, and taught for brief stints at Fordham and NYU Law Schools.

The Fordham stint establishes a connection between Nathan and the Jesuits.

Now we know why Maxwell is still breathing. The judge is a high-level agent of the New World Order and in perfect position to limit any damage that could result from the trial. It’s a little surprising that Nathan didn’t let her relative escape on bail, but the atheist Jews are well-known to hate the Zionists. I suspect there’s some internecine feuding going on… flipping Maxwell from Mossad to ((CIA)) would be a strong intelligence coup, but at the same time it’s obvious why Maxwell would be reluctant to flip.

Because Epstein didn’t kill himself.

Resident Joe “Blow” Biden is sometimes called Potato Joe for his advanced mental decline, which has become so severe that people are starting to wonder about stunt doubles and deepfakes. (With the mask mandate, I find the former more likely.)

But Biden accidentally let slip a second reason for the nickname when he celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by wishing the holiday had never come into existence. The double mask slips again!

Joe Biden Jokes He Wishes His Ancestors Stayed in Ireland

h ttps://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/03/17/joe-biden-jokes-he-wishes-his-ancestors-stayed-ireland/

By Charlie Spiering, 17 Mar 2021

President Joe Biden joked Wednesday at the White House he wished his Irish ancestors had stayed in Ireland.

The president commented as he recalled his visits to his ancestral homeland at a St. Patrick’s Day in a video conference with Irish Prime Minister Miche?l Martin.

.I joked at the time, after I left, I wondered why the hell we left in the first place; it’s beautiful,. he said.

Is that so, Potato Joe? You had many opportunities to gone back to your ancestral homeland and no shortage of Americans willing to pay for your exit. Like the Coloreds who complain about white privilege then refuse to get on a boat back to Africa, you slander the land and people who gave you your comfortable lives because the alternative is acknowledging our kindness and generosity.

With a bunch of clovers in his pocket, Biden acknowledged the celebrations this year were virtual due to the coronavirus pandemic and accepted a bowl of clovers from the prime minister.

The most powerful man in the world celebrates holidays in isolation… in solidarity with the inmates of San Quentin State Prison, perhaps? For the same reason that his handlers want to keep their potential problems on lockdown?

He recalled that his grandfather, Ambrose Finnegan, would always celebrate the family’s Irish heritage.

.[Grandpa Ambrose] would say “Joey remember, the best drop of blood in you is Irish,’. he said.

Joe should have listened. Instead, Resident Biden is Hell-bent on exterminating the white Christian population of the nation who gave his ancestors a new home.

Ireland has their own auto-genocide program. I understand it’s called “Ireland 2040”. Zman has a post up that is insightful about how the Irish hated the English so much for so long, that it became a negative identity and they no longer know what it means to be Irish. Link but no segue:

h ttps://thezman.com/wordpress/?p=23170

Whatever being Irish means, it’s probably not about drinking green water:

Biden also noted he followed the tradition of dying the White House fountain green for St. Patrick’s Day.

Anyway,

Biden.s great-grandfather, Patrick Blewitt, emigrated from Ireland in 1850 and his other great-great-grandfather, Owen Finnegan, moved from Ireland in 1849.

The Irish Potato Famine was 1845-1852.

Potato Joe.

Yep.

This being [a day after] St. Patrick’s Day, please select your definition of what it means to be Irish:

1. Wear two face diapers and cower in your bedroom, hoping that the gunshots are BIPOC terrorists and not the National Guard you forced to live in an unheated parking garage for three months of winter because some of them voted for Trump.

2. Get drunk and start a pub brawl. *GunnerQ ducks.*

3. Appreciate and celebrate the myths, songs, architecture and history of your unique people, remembering your ancestors and way of life a little more accurately than a dementia patient regretting his bloodline choosing food over beauty.

What’s a Christian woman to do when she wants a baby without submitting to a husband, but is “devout enough” (whatever that means in Current Year) to not go skanking or sperm banking? Adoption! Cut the man out ENTIRELY! God’s only objection to making bastards is having sex during the process!

Christian Singles Aren’t Waiting for Marriage to Become Parents

h ttps://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2021/april/single-unmarried-christians-fill-foster-adoption-gap.html

By Kara Bettis, 16 March 2021

Heather Creed grew up in suburban Indiana and attended Taylor University, expecting her life trajectory to be similar to that of many of her friends. .I always thought I would marry and have seven kids and be a stay-at-home, homeschool mom,. Creed said. .That’s clearly not what happened..

Odd. That’s almost always what happens when a woman marries young and rides hubby until he walks funny.

Creed, 45, is now an attorney who settled in Columbus, Ohio, after stints in Waco, Texas, and New York City.

BWAHAHAHAA!!! “I wanted a big, conservative family, so I went to college and became a lawyer in NYC. I have no idea how my dream failed!” Maybe you don’t find Canada by traveling south, Tits.

Her family isn’t the traditional midwestern one of her childhood. She never married. But that didn’t stop her from adopting two boys and recently becoming licensed, for the second time, to foster children in her home.

.I don’t have to worry about the health of my marriage and myself and my husband and any biological children,. she said. .I can give so much more focus to the healing and restoration of the child..

Creed, a white woman, feels she has stepped into the pain of broken families in new ways as she parents 13- and 5-year-old fatherless black boys. It’s part of the reason she moved to New York City from Texas.

She be rayciss!

Andy Jackson, 33, was single when he started fostering a decade ago while working as a special education teacher in Pell City, Alabama. He adopted his first child when he was 23 and went on to adopt two more children, one with special needs.

He gave up on both marriage and fertility at age 23? Especially for teachers for which a degree is often a prerequisite, that’s their first year out of college. Something stinks.

Now married, he and his wife have eight children.including a toddler they are in the process of adopting together, three biological children from his wife’s previous marriage, and one she adopted with her deceased husband. Collectively, they estimate, they have fostered more than 50 children through foster and respite care.

He should have waited until marriage before fostering.

Angelle Jones, 64, was one of the first in her community to foster or adopt when she took in a five-year-old girl in Cincinnati in 1978. She was 21 then and hadn’t met another single African American adoptive parent like her.or even a black couple who had adopted from an agency. (Kinship adoption was more common, she said.) More recently, she’s had multiple conversations with single women around her who are considering adoption.

I suspect welfare fraud by an infertile skank. She grew up watching the ghetto mamas work the system and as soon as she legally could (age 21), she grabbed a meal ticket for herself and followed their parasitic examples.

[Jones] was raised without the picture-perfect nuclear family, and she didn’t see that as a barrier to her own desire to provide a home for children.

.I grew up with a single mom. She made it look easy. I realize in my community and context there were more single parents than married. It was a norm for me,. said Jones, who never married and who adopted her daughter in 1984 after two years of fostering. Sixteen years later, she also raised her granddaughter. .For years I didn’t meet any single African American women who adopted..

Yep. Welfare fraud and multigenerational bastardy.

By the way, this article isn’t just a one-off story from Christianity Today. It’s the cover article for their current-issue magazine. Neither the author nor the editors and proofreaders were willing & able to read between the lines.

The modern Church has a seething pathological hatred of fatherhood disguised as female empowerment.

While adoption and orphan care have long been core causes for evangelicals, they have largely had the nuclear family at their center. In his 2010 case for “Why Every Christian Is Called to Support Adoption,. Russell Moore wrote in CT that “the fatherhood of God is better understood in a culture where children know what it means to say “Daddy” and .Mommy…

When he’s right, he’s right. God intended children to have BOTH a mother AND a father. Adopting children as a single parent is child abuse… guaranteeing them a broken, empty home. Nobody doing this cares about the kid.

Creed, Jackson, and Jones represent a small but significant number of Christian women and men pursuing foster care and adoption while single. Like other single parents, these single parents by choice often face immense financial and lifestyle challenges.

QED. It would be parent abuse, too, except Parent volunteered.

But in evangelical churches, such parents also have to swim against the current of long-held norms around family.

God’s design for humanity has been reduced to a “long-held norm”?

As many Christians remain single longer and later, however, advocates say that singles who foster and adopt are finding increased acceptance and support among their fellow conservative Christians.

NO. THEY. ARE. NOT. They are not conservatives unless they conserve something! The concept of the nuclear family would be a great start.

Singles.mostly women.accounted for nearly 30 percent of all public adoptions in 2019, taking in more than 19,000 children.

Nearly all women, I should say, and specifically the Original Sin-sick wimminz who would rather torture somebody else’s child than submit to a man. I went looking for statistics on male vs female and only found LGBT shills. It says much about human nature that the two groups most interested in adopting are devout Christians and pedophiles. It says much about our government that the latter is preferred.

The Department of Health and Human Services doesn’t track adoptive parents by religion and doesn’t distinguish between never-married and divorced individuals, but limited data from the National Survey of Family Growth shows that unmarried evangelical and nonevangelical women express similar levels of interest in adopting.

As atheists love to point out, the gulf in behavior between believers and unbelievers is nonexistent. That’s because both groups of women are encouraged and subsidized to rebel against men. I remain furiously mystified that the entire Christian Church across the world chokes on just the first three chapters of Scripture!

Jedd Medefind, president of the advocacy and support group Christian Alliance for Orphans (CAFO), said he has seen singles involved in foster care and adoption throughout his career, but he’s noticed it a lot more in the past five to seven years, as foster care and adoption in general have surged in the church.

.It.s been a steady increase in both interest and engagement by singles in every facet of working with vulnerable children.foster care, adoption, mentoring,. Medefind said. .There is a desire to live out God’s call in practical ways, for their faith to not just be theoretical but to serve in hands-on ways..

She doesn’t want to be feminine.

She doesn’t want to submit to a man as God intended.

She doesn’t want to be denied her “right” to have a baby just because her career allows no time for motherhood.

She wants the taxpayer to backfill every anti-natalist decision she ever made in life.

And the organized Church prides itself on going out of its way to enable those attitudes. “Our faith is not merely theoretical! We’re with HER!”

And the Father Of All does a divine facepalm.

Atlanta.s North Point Community Church is one place where that desire is evident. More than 100 families are involved in its Fostering Together ministry, which supports foster and adoptive families across the multisite church’s seven locations. At the Buckhead campus alone, nearly half of the 13 families with foster children are parented by single adults.

Alison Feyereisen, who helps lead the ministry, hasn’t seen any recent surge in singles taking in children, but she has noticed that “the church seems to be more welcoming and supporting it better than [in] years before.” Fostering Together aims to bolster that support.for singles and couples.by providing both adults and children with what Feyereisen calls “wraparound care” that is holistic and practical and by engaging in churchwide activism and prayer.

.Psalm 68 says that God puts the lonely in families. And that’s not primarily just talking about a biological nuclear family; it’s talking about the people of God,. said pastor and The Gospel Coalition editor Sam Allberry in a TGC video in early 2019. .A single person may be thinking, .I.m just a mum or just a dad and I can’t do the role of both parents,. but actually, with the support of a wider church family, that child should be growing up in a very, very healthy family context. I think it’s a great thing for singles to adopt..

Burn in Eternal Hell, Sam Allberry, for your encouragement of bastardy and female rebellion against men. At least we have a face for the heretics pushing these anti-family teachings.

Helping singles who are already caring for vulnerable children seems like a natural role for churches. But how much they should encourage singles to pursue foster care.and especially adoption.is far less clear.

Historically, married couples have been upheld as the ideal family model, including for foster care and adoption. The Child Welfare League of America standardized its commitment in 1958, stating that adoptive families should include both a mother and a father. Efforts to recruit single adults to adopt began in the 1960s, according to the University of Oregon’s Adoption History Project, when the Los Angeles Bureau of Adoptions tapped single African Americans to help place black children.

The church, in particular, has had a “high view of the nuclear family and a hesitancy about intentionally forming families that are something other than a traditional, two-parent home,. according to Jonathan Reid, the founder of Fostering Hope, a New England.based group that supports local churches in foster care and adoption.

Steve Roach, the executive director of Catholic Charities of Springfield, Illinois, told The Heritage Foundation in 2018 that “our preference for non-relative foster placements was with married couples to give children the opportunity for a mother and a father figure in their lives. We would work with single parents as long as they were not cohabitating with another adult..

While most states allow for adoption by an unmarried person, in Arizona and Utah, married couples are explicitly preferred over single-parent households. Individual agencies have their own preferences, which often stem from religious objections to cohabiting or same-sex parenting and have been challenged in court. Policies at some faith-based agencies that prohibit placement with LGBT couples, for instance, are at the center of a case currently before the Supreme Court.

I hope the D.C. StateEmpire gives us permission to obey God, else I’ll have to become a Musselman. Child adoption by Sodomites is a hill that the Church absolutely should die on! And while we’re at it, child adoption by NYC lawyers and ghetto rats for the exact same reason.

Many studies have shown detrimental effects on children who grow up in single-parent households instead of two-parent households. And children who are adopted or fostered are more likely to struggle socially, emotionally, and academically, said sociologist and National Marriage Project director W. Bradford Wilcox.

.Single parents and single mothers may struggle with the challenges of raising a kid in foster care without having a second parent to support them and support the child,. he said.

I note with great displeasure that Wilcox did NOT say “don’t do it”.

In some situations, that could be dangerous, he said, putting the parent, the child, or both at risk. Foster children especially are already in a difficult situation, and Wilcox believes that in most cases, agencies should prioritize placements with married, two-parent households for the sake of stability and support for the children.

But for singles like Clarise Cannings, running up against the traditional agency preference for married parents can feel like a personal rejection. The 42-year-old originally applied to a private Christian agency when she was pursuing foster care in Bowie, Maryland.

.They were looking for a certain type of person to be an adoptive parent,. she said. When the agency found out that she was single and worked full-time (even though she worked from home and her company was supportive of foster care), Cannings said they told her they “have moms we use..

.It hurt a lot,. she said. .Maybe they didn’t think I was motherly enough..

You were not motherly enough, Clarise. You had no use or place in your life for a child except as a feminist merit badge. Credit to that agency, they recognized you for who you are: not motherhood material. Just like all the men in your life did.

That agency referred Cannings to a public agency…

Sigh. I take back that credit.

…and she has since fostered eight different children from newborn to 19 years old over the past two years. The only time she declined a placement was when the agency asked if she could take both a one-year-old and a three-year-old. Despite her desire, she felt that wasn’t wise as a single person.

.I had a yearning to be a mother. I recognized that there were children who need a mother. The Lord allowed me to have these rooms, this space, and allowed me to have room in my heart,. she said.

Inquiring minds want to know, did she also hire a nanny to be the mother her full-time job didn’t allow her to be, or did she get passed over for promotion because of “the glass ceiling” of not prioritizing her work over family?

*crickets*

Advocates like Reid think evangelical attitudes toward single parenting by choice are shifting. One reason could be reduced stigma toward single parenting generally, given the prevalence of divorce within the church and the desire among Christians to support mothers who otherwise might choose an abortion, said R. Marie Griffith, a professor of humanities at Washington University in St. Louis who has studied trends among evangelical women.

Another reason could be… THE INCREASING NUMBER OF FEMALE LEADERS IN THE CHURCH.

Marriage rates, too, are declining inside and outside the church…

Again, atheists think that means we don’t believe what we preach. They’re right and the Church should be ashamed of itself.

…leaving more single women childless.

Marriage rates fall, women most affected!

Reid, who said his own views on the issue have evolved, noted that singles have other entry points beyond fostering and adoption: There is respite care (a trained position to aid foster families), or working with emergency placements that are as temporary as a day or a weekend.

.Is it ideal for a kid to be in foster care with two parents? Yes, of course,. Reid said. But there are so many kids and the need is so urgent that there is “absolutely a place” for singles to provide direct care for at-risk children.

That is a fatal trap for Christians: “the needs of the moment outweigh the long-held norms mandated by God” argument.

For a child coming from an unstable background, living with just one stable parent can be a huge improvement.

That *IS* the unstable background!

And in some cases, singleness can be an advantage: Children with a history of sexual or physical abuse, refugee children, or teen boys with a violent history toward men (for instance, protecting their mother from her batterer) might benefit from placement with a single woman, said Cheri Williams, who oversees Bethany Christian Services. domestic programs.

This isn’t funny. This is child abuse on steroids with a Jesus tattoo.

.There’s the myth of the perfect family or stay-at-home mom,. Williams said. .There is no perfect family, but there can be a “just right fit.” You’re not meeting family’s needs; you’re meeting the kid’s needs..

Forrr the chilllldreeeen! As decreed by Mommy.

Bethany estimates that about 20 percent of its foster parents are unmarried. The agency saw a 3 percent increase in single foster parents from 2019 to 2020, according to a spokesperson. There are more than 400,000 children in foster care nationwide, with 120,000 of them eligible for adoption right now.

In March, Bethany announced it would allow LGBT couples to foster and adopt nationwide, in a move to be inclusive toward different arrangements of parents (it was already allowing such foster placements in some states).

Williams.s team watches for certain red flags…

Not including the foster parent being sexually attracted to teenage boys while cross-dressing as a made-up gender?

…when they consider placements with single people. They try to weed out those who may be motivated by the financial “benefits” of foster care (which is a myth, Williams added) or by overly strong maternal instincts, which she calls the “motherhood motivation..

It’s a myth that welfare fraud can be a motive? Here, have a brochure… quoting from page six:

A Note About Finances and Adoption Costs
One common myth about adoption is that only wealthy parents can adopt and successfully raise healthy, happy
children. First and foremost, children need loving families. But the costs associated with adoptions may be
particularly relevant to single parents, who typically rely on one income.

Adoption costs can vary widely depending on the type of adoption you choose. In general, if you adopt from
foster care, adoption costs will be low or even free. If you choose private domestic or intercountry adoption,
costs, such as agency or adoption services provider fees, will be considerably more expensive.

Government-sanctioned adoption is shamelessly subsidized.

Each State’s adoption assistance policy varies, so you should review what subsidies and other supports your State offers. For State-by-State information on adoption assistance, visit the Information Gateway webpage, Adoption Assistance by State (https://www.childwelfare.gov/topics/adoption/adopt-assistance/).

To help further offset adoption costs, Federal or State tax credits, loans, grants, or employer-provided adoption
benefits may also be available to you.

If you need help reading through those lines then, well, you must not have noticed that fifth-generation ghetto queens are a normal sight in the projects.

End segue

Single parenting by choice is a calling. It’s not for people who simply want to “experience having kids,. said Robin Gerardi, head of WeFoster, a ministry of First Baptist Church Woodstock in Georgia. WeFoster provides extra support for single foster moms.who make up 12 of the 60 foster families at the church.including laundry services, handyman volunteers, and meal trains when a family receives a placement.

.We.ve proven that single moms are some of our best foster moms. They get it, they focus on the kids,. Gerardi said.

You lie, Gerardi. You defame the very concept of fatherhood, in the name of Father God no less, and call it “some of our best”. You have no use for Christ except to the extent He enables you to do what you would be doing regardless.

If your beliefs don’t change your behavior then you don’t have any beliefs. Did God intend children to be raised by mother AND father or not? If so then why do you not act like it? Because children do better with a single mother who puts them in child care because she has no time to raise them, than they would being put in child care?

The stink of Feminist Merit Badge is everywhere on this. Women want children. Women don’t want to serve a husband. How fortunate that “some of our best foster families are single mothers”!!!

Heather Creed agrees. .I don’t have to worry about the health of my marriage and myself and my husband and any biological children,. she said. .I can give so much more focus to the healing and restoration of the child..

QED.

Cristen Simcox, 31, also believes that singles don’t have to adopt. There’s a waiting list for adoption, she said, but not for foster care and “in the gap” care.

Simcox felt led to foster while a pediatric emergency room nurse in Temple, Texas, after seeing the awful circumstances her young patients faced. She and a friend.also a single Christian and an ER nurse.had wanted to house children in need but felt their unpredictable schedules would make it too difficult.

.Logistically, neither of us could do it alone, but maybe we could together,. she said. So, they moved in together. Though their parenting styles were different, Simcox said, they were able to support each other and lean on the wraparound care of their community.

.I really wanted to show [the kids] the love that God has for them for whatever period I had with them in my home.” Simcox ultimately adopted her first two placements before meeting her future husband, Stephen. They met on a dating app, and she wasn’t able to hide the fact that she was a single mom.

.I had baby clothes in a bag on our first date,. Simcox said. .So, I told him right away. He was surprised but was attracted to my heart for the Lord..

The image of Original Sin is complete. Barbie wanted babies without the effort of caring for a husband, and “Stephen the Martyr” stepped up to make her feral dream a reality.

He didn’t even get screwed. That’s sad, man.

With widespread evangelical enthusiasm for adoption and foster care, it can be easy to forget those institutions only exist because of widespread brokenness.

In some ways, singles are catching the sharpest pieces when families and communities break.

In other ways, if the church hated masculine men any more then it would celebrate Father’s Day by literally crucifying some fathers.

I had some family relations living in a distant state. The parents had three daughters. The first daughter got pregnant out of wedlock in high school. The parents were very upset but then they did everything they could to help Snowflake keep the baby and not suffer the typical consequences of single motherhood because they loved her.

The other two daughters watched single motherhood become the fast track to money and empowerment and special attention, and both got their asses knocked up in high school, too.

If my relatives had truly loved their daughters, they would have ruined their eldest’s life in order to teach the correct lessons to their other daughters. They would have made her suffer because what she did was evil.

Single motherhood is a plague of wickedness upon our land. It doesn’t matter if a woman gets there by paperwork or turkey baster. What does matter is that she hated the very concept of serving a husband.

She hated Christ, the husband of loyal humanity.

From the dissident perspective, there are right ways and wrong ways to protest government policies. Right ways include malicious compliance and civil disobedience… driving up the costs of enforcement and nudging the Overton windows of acceptance. Wrong ways include public defiance and one-time dramas that can be neither tolerated nor maintained. Such in-your-face tactics work for anarchists only because they’re sponsored by the State. One glance at how much catch-and-release goes on for BLM terrorists makes it obvious how long such organizations will persist once their inside handlers decide to close the ‘release’ spigot. They’re tools, not success stories, and don’t you try to be a tool just because they’re “winning”.

Which brings us to Surf City.

Santa Cruz Police Department responds to Sunday’s anti-mask protest

h ttps://www.santacruzsentinel.com/2021/03/02/santa-cruz-police-department-responds-to-sundays-anti-mask-protest/

By Ryan Stuart, 2 March 2021

SANTA CRUZ . The Santa Cruz Police Department responded on Tuesday evening to the group of anti-mask protesters that on Sunday night took to the streets of downtown Santa Cruz.

.We are getting a lot of messages from community that Santa Cruz is fed up with anti-maskers,. the department stated in a Facebook post. .We hear you..

The group of roughly 20 protesters marched through the downtown sector and returned to Trader Joe.s, the site of a previous protest two weeks prior. Police were present at the scene but did not cite or arrest any of the protestors despite a city and county mandate that requires masks to be worn in public places. Non compliers can be fined $100 for a first offense, which will increase to $200 and $500 on subsequent offenses.

At first I thought this was cowardice but upon reflection, it’s a credit to law enforcement when they can tell the difference between serious crimes and “why did you interrupt my coffee?” The protesting group forced police involvement when they didn’t have to.

How do I know they didn’t have to? Because I’ve gone maskless in that very downtown. I ignored the glares but masked-up when I went into businesses because those were lines that I knew I couldn’t cross. Yet. But when I could get away with disobedience, I did. Eventually, other people began following my example. I doubt they would have had I gotten myself arrested every time I broke the rules.

Also, Trader Joe’s is Ground Zero for the Whores of Fricking Babylon. Karens, feminists and the most toxic/diabetic forms of Wokeness that you would not believe exist. The protesters didn’t choose a neutral site; they marched into the teeth of the dragon. That was stupidity bordering on false-flag operation.

…I see in their video, already gone, that they proceeded to demonstrate in front of the police station itself. I guess because cops didn’t arrest them like they’d wanted the first time around?

SCPD planned ahead for the protests after hearing rumors of “National Maskless Day.. They increased the number of staff on duty to keep the peace. The hope was to ensure the safety of businesses and customers while protecting the protesters. First Amendment rights, the post reads.

AND they protested on such a reliable schedule that the cops were waiting? I want to say that this really was false-flag but as of this writing, police haven’t been able to identify any of them despite their protesting maskless in both downtown and the police station itself.

In order to arrest maskless protesters in the future, police will need the targeted business to file a complaint. The department will then need to file charges against the protesters. SCPD advises business owners not to in a verbal or physical altercation with unruly patrons if the situation escalates.

.Private businesses can decide whether to allow customers or visitors onto a property if they are not wearing a mask,. the post reads. “Companies can tell patrons ” either wear a mask, or you’re not allowed inside. A mask situation is like the no shirt, no shoes, no service policy..

Translating the boldface, “we don’t want to waste our time on harmless dissidents but if there’s paperwork then we’ll be forced to get involved.”

Since the incident on Sunday, police have been working to identify the protesters, write case reports, and send them to the prosecutor, according to the post. Protesters involved will be summoned to court if there is sufficient evidence against them.

While crowdsourcing criminal investigations is the latest trend in police work, this here is a lot of work to punish an infraction that could have been punished much more easily when the infraction was being committed on their literal doorstep. Hmm…

The Santa Cruz Police Department is also asking for the help of the community. It is asking for community members to help identify the maskless protesters who have been staging demonstration within Santa Cruz.

SCPD will accept tips, photos, videos or any other relevant information. Those who wish to help the police department can contact Detective Sergeant Greg…

Methinks that this is simply the lowest-cost effort they can make to appease the Trader Joe Karens. I credit SCPD with knowing, even in Current Year with all the hostile pressures upon them, when to be lazy about enforcement.

I do not credit the protesters with anything but imbecility. I want the mask mandates to end as badly as anybody but my form of protest works because I get most of what I want without forcing local authorities to react. I don’t want them to react. But this kind of marching-through-downtown-ending-at-Karen-Central is exactly the sort of conduct that forces authorities to double down on those same mandates.

How many times must it be said? DO NOT STAGE ORGANIZED, HIGH-PROFILE PROTESTS IN LEFTIST STRONGHOLDS! Keep to yourself, know your limits and let the sheeple get used to the idea that the world won’t end if they get a breath of fresh air, too.

.SCPD takes this issue seriously and will seek the appropriate legal action through the justice system,. the post reads.

Thankfully not so much, but if I knew who these protesters were I’d turn them in myself. They must learn the lesson, that brute-force protests only work if the government is secretly on your side in the first place. What were they expecting, that Trader Joe’s would end their mask policy because of a one-time event?

When Commiefornia gets tough, the tough go to Texas. Or Florida. I was the latter.

Daytona Motorcycle Rally Goes On Despite Pandemic

Dallas Morning News
By Associated Press, 7 March 2021

Daytona Beach, FL-despite the coronavirus pandemic, Daytona Beach ‘s annual Bike Week has brought tens of thousands of motorcyclists to the city and its neighbors this weekend… and few of them are wearing masks.

Yo!

About 1/3 of the population was still wearing masks voluntarily despite Florida being formally mask-free. Depressing but when you think about it being the retirement destination of USA, actually not that bad. Lots of businesses still had mask-up signs in their windows, chains and holes-in-the-wall both, but enforcement was deliciously lacking.

The city made a bargain with its bars: 60% capacity indoors in return for the permits necessary for temporary outdoor sales and entertainment.

I heard “badly needed tax revenue”. Who could have guessed that the secret to stopping a pandemic is the government going bankrupt!

The Daytona Regional Chamber of Commerce, which organizes the event, estimates 300,000 to 400,000 motorcyclists will attend. It typically draws 500,000.

Ah, the old normal is reasserting itself despite the New Normal’s $15,000,000,000,000.00 in campaign fundraising. I’m not the only man who likes his oxygen the way he likes his wheels: unfiltered and unsupervised!

At John’s Rock N Ride souvenir store, owner Johnny Sanchez was selling a lot more $3 beers than the designer masks he offered for $7. Almost no one is wearing them.

Just so this reporter knows, it’s hard to drink beer through a mask.

“As far as masks are concerned, they are paying little attention to that,” Sanchez said with a shrug. It’s just the way it is. What can you do?”

I suppose you could drink beer through a straw… except that straws have already been banned. Hi, I’m from California and I don’t want to go back! just like every other occupant of Florida. It says something when living in a literal swamp is preferable to a merely political one. Even the mosquitoes suck less.

On that note, my vacation wasn’t all Baby Boomers trying to be bad boys on rides that’ll look great going for 90% off in their estate sale. I did some quality snorkeling with a groupie, too!

Who knew that running a blog about patriarchy was even better than being a rock star? Okay, fine, that’s blatantly not true. But yes, some of us are doing more than merely talking about meeting new people and building new communities.

Anyway, I did some quality snorkeling in Alexander Springs in the Ocala National Forest.

h ttps://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/ocala/recarea/?recid=32209

Only 27 first-magnitude springs exist in Florida, and Alexander Springs is by far one of the easiest to enjoy. A broad and naturally gently sloped spring pool is a constant 72?F and extraordinarily clear. Ripples play across the sand bottom as small fish dart about. Surrounded by a floodplain forest of maples, sweetgum and cabbage palms, this recreation area feels almost tropical.

A small wooden observation deck pokes out of the infamously thick Floridian underbrush.

…But I was not interested in solid ground today.

The difference between the last pic and this one is three feet. Underwater is an incredibly different world! Alexander Springs must be packed with tourists during the summer season. There were people here even during Bike Week.

The fish had no fear of humans despite the place being used to train toddlers how to swim. Water temperature was indeed low-70s and as a primarily Pacific Ocean diver, I cannot communicate how much like heaven that is. Suffice to say, my wetsuit is up to 9mm thick in places, semi-dry, with integrated hood and a special thermal liner. On this day, I wore a shirt only to prevent sunburn.

Nobody was more surprised at how clear the water was than my Floridian friend. This is reportedly not supposed to happen in the Bilge State.

Heading into the dark. What lurks beyond?

The lighting worked with the friendly fish and rafts of lily pads to create the impression of a surreal fantasy world. We approach the source of this artisanal spring…

Most of Alexander Springs was not deeper than five feet, ideal for snorkeling. But as you see here, as one approached the underwater cave-source, the cliffs appeared suddenly. This is looking back at the previous picture.

This fellow snorkeler gives a sense of scale. The spring water comes from underneath the rock outcropping in the lower right. The current was too strong (and deep) to proceed further.

Heading back to civilization….

It probably didn’t mean anything, but I surfaced to find a flock of buzzards circling over me. Excuse me, a wake of buzzards. Oddly appropriate, that.

Most parks like this have crows or pigeons. Not this one! It had buzzards. Maybe you shouldn’t teach your kid to swim here.

This small hawk found something to dine on. It was remarkable how simultaneously wild and tame the animal life was.

It was a great trip and just what I needed after a miserable winter of lockdowns, stay-at-home orders and morons cheating each other to be first in line for medical experimentation. As we go through this hard year beset by apostasy, heresy and mostly-peaceful protests, always remember that Creation itself testifies to the truth of our Creator. Go outside! Breathe free! Get dirty with a groupie!

Humanity is ready for the New World Order. All organized resistance has been crushed, the Dirt People happily wear slave masks made in the latest styles and Elon Musk reports good progress on the space habitats for noveau quadrillionaires. The next step is to Take Back the Internet! with, of course, a Great Reset. Because this is the World Economic Forum trying to talk shop:

A cyber-attack with COVID-like characteristics?

h ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0oZA1B3ooI

By World Economic Forum, 18 January 2021

Is this a joke? “A cyber-attack with COVID-like characteristics”? Is that like… I don’t know… a computer virus? I know money never conferred brains on anybody but an ultrawealthy bankster this tech-illiterate must surely have trouble remembering how to breathe.

I fisk the full transcript. You aren’t missing anything in the visuals in case the link stops working.

The COVID-19 pandemic has shaken our economies and societies to the core, and shown us how vulnerable we are to biological threats.

No, the COVID-19 pandemic has a death rate of only 0.02%. It’s the GOVERNMENT COERCION IN RESPONSE that’s shaken us to our core.

Notice that the author’s first concern was for economies, not human welfare. That’ll be a trend.

In the digital world, similar risks are being overlooked right now. A cyberattack with COVID-like characteristics would spread faster and further than any biological virus.

Its reproductive rate would be around 10 times greater than what we’ve experienced with the coronavirus.

More like ten trillion times greater. Meh. My blog reproduces itself in hundreds of new machines every day without even trying.

Seriously, “computer viruses are around 10 times faster than human viruses” is a statement indicating that somebody very highly placed in the WEF has no idea how computers work, or perhaps is speaking to demons who witnessed the sixth day of Creation but not Charles Babbage playing with gears.

To give you an idea, one of the fastest worms in history, the 2003 slammer/Sapphire worm, doubles in size every 8.5 seconds, infecting over 75,000 devices in 10 minutes and almost 11 million devises in 24 hours.

Segue

h ttps://www.caida.org/publications/papers/2003/sapphire/sapphire.html

The Sapphire Worm was the fastest computer worm in history. As it began spreading throughout the Internet, it doubled in size every 8.5 seconds. It infected more than 90 percent of vulnerable hosts within 10 minutes.

The worm (also called Slammer) began to infect hosts slightly before 05:30 UTC on Saturday, January 25. Sapphire exploited a buffer overflow vulnerability in computers on the Internet running Microsoft’s SQL Server or MSDE 2000 (Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine). This weakness in an underlying indexing service was discovered in July 2002; Microsoft released a patch for the vulnerability before it was announced. The worm infected at least 75,000 hosts, perhaps considerably more, and caused network outages and such unforeseen consequences as canceled airline flights, interference with elections, and ATM failures.

I’m no Unix guru myself but the worst worms seem to be the ones exploiting already-known security gaps. Just as the way to avoid Kung Flu is to wash your hands and get your daily Vitamin D, the way to avoid a cyber-plague is to keep your antivirus up to date.

And don’t stick your dick in crazy. I’m old enough to remember the “I Love You” virus. Let’s just say that it spread by email attachments.

Propagation speed was Sapphire’s novel feature: in the first minute, the infected population doubled in size every 8.5 (?1) seconds. The worm achieved its full scanning rate (over 55 million scans per second) after approximately three minutes, after which the rate of growth slowed down somewhat because significant portions of the network did not have enough bandwidth to allow it to operate unhindered. Most vulnerable machines were infected within 10-minutes of the worm’s release.

Also much like COVID, Sapphire hit hard at the beginning then quickly petered out. Much more for the interested at the link.

End segue

Fortunately–at least until now–cyber-attacks have not impacted our health the way pandemics have. But the economic damages and therefore the impact they have on our daily lives have been equal and sometimes even greater.

Again with the focus on the economy. Something that needs to be said about the Mark of the Beast now that it’s imminent: the reason wicked men will do it is because they cannot conceive of economic activity as being separate from human activity. They’ve worked rather hard to destroy the concept of family and friendship, after all.

We will survive the Mark the way we survived the Roman Empire, by caring for each other while the StateEmpire denies us our very humanity.

The only ways to stop the exponential propagation of a COVID-like cyber threat…

…are to purchase a commercially-available antivirus package or uninstall Microsoft Outlook.

My bad, that was wrong. Correction:

The only way to stop the exponential propagation of a COVID-like cyber threat is to fully disconnect the millions of vulnerable devices from one another and from the Internet.

All of this in a matter of days.

Um… you can disconnect most of them by pushing a button. And unless the device is intentionally gimped, it can function just fine while offline. Good thing we don’t have any Internet-enabled self-driving electric cars!

Seriously, learn to code. Your lack of education, experience, knowledge and non-vibrant staff is embarrassing you.

A single day without the Internet would cost our economies more than 50 billion US dollars, and that is before considering the economic and societal damages should these devices be linked to essential services, such as transports or healthcare.

A single day without the Internet would end the Chinavirus lockdowns forever. You aren’t thinking this through, anonymous moron, but I’m happy to call your bluff. You don’t have the guts to crash the Internet!

As the digital realm increasingly merges with our physical world, the ripple effects of cyber-attacks on our safety just keep on expanding and at a faster pace than what we are preparing for.

Stupidity of the magnitude demonstrated by this WEF infomercial explains why plutocrats hire people to chew their food: Idiocracy! All those recent “math is white supremacy” memes are SERIOUSLY coming into focus.

Uplifting those drooling savages was wasted effort. Looking at YOU, President Biden!

COVID-19 was known as an anticipated risk. So is the digital equivalent. Let’s be better prepared for that one. The time is now.

COVID was anticipated by Event 201. Now we get a white paper predicting a computer virus crashing the Internet. Why might the WEF want to do that? I don’t have an answer but here’s some food for thought.

Bokhari: Microsoft and Friends Want to Destroy Online Privacy

h ttps://www.breitbart.com/tech/2021/02/25/bokhari-microsoft-and-friends-want-to-destroy-online-privacy/

Microsoft has teamed up with a number of tech and media companies to create a system of tracing content around the internet that could destroy online privacy and anonymity, radically transforming the nature of the web.

According to Microsoft’s press release, it has partnered with several other organizations to form the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA).

Adobe, Truepic and Intel.

Put simply, the purpose of this organization is to devise a system whereby all content on the internet can be traced back to its author.

The press release states that it will develop these specifications for “common asset types and formats,. meaning videos, documents, audio, and images. Whether it’s a meme, an audio remix, or a written article, the goal is to ensure that when content reaches the internet, it will come attached with a set of signals allowing its provenance . meaning authorship . can be detected.

The combination of these forces creates the potential to track and de-anonymize information from the moment it is created on a computer. Signals could be attached to information to ensure it is censored and suppressed wherever it travels online. Even if someone else is sharing the information, it could be suppressed simply because of its point of origin. And, of course, the signals could be used to identify the creators of dissident content.

This is hardly the first effort to lockdown the entire Internet. Previous measures have failed, perhaps because most of them also partnered with the BBC, notably absent in this attempt. (Yes, yes, correlation implying causation… but the boot fits.)

It does paint a nightmare scenario, however. Crash the Internet and use the crash to convince the government to spend megabucks on malware-firmware upgrades that implement this kind of data tracking at the router/server level. That would be, dare we say, a very COVID-like move. (GunnerQ points at Pfizer demanding military bases from Latin American countries as collateral against quaccine lawsuits.)

Of course, if such an attempt is as tech-literate as this warning that was probably forced by God to give the world a heads-up then we’re worried about nothing. Regardless, if there IS a massive Internet powerdown then I might wait an extra week before logging into my blog, just to see if the wizards find any such hanky-pank. Just FYI.

I try to avoid the Catholics’ problems. God know the Protestant world has enough to keep me in content. But this smoking gun that Pope Francis is not a Christian, indeed, is not even competent in Scripture, is too good to pass up.

Pope Francis Warns of Second “Great Flood” from Global Warming

h ttps://www.breitbart.com/environment/2021/03/01/pope-francis-warns-of-second-great-flood-from-global-warming/

ROME . Pope Francis has warned of the possibility of a second great flood, like that of Noah’s time, if humanity fails to address global warming.

Genesis 9:12-17 “And God said, .This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth..

There will never be a flood like the one Noah endured. We have not only God’s promise on that but a visible sign of it. In fact, this is why the Sodomites have coopted the rainbow as their symbol, to mock God promising to never punish the wicked. Revelation is hard to understand but even a casual reading indicates that God is way more imaginative in punishing the wicked than just drowning them. But if Sodomites were smart then they wouldn’t be Sodomite.

.God.s wrath is directed against injustice, against Satan,. the pope states in a book titled Of Vices and Virtues due for release Tuesday. .It is directed against evil, not that which derives from human weakness, but evil of Satanic inspiration: the corruption generated by Satan..

God does not allow Satan to directly corrupt the world. Old Scratch is required to use human intermediaries, therefore it makes no sense to talk about “evil not derived from human weakness” (or wickedness, Pope Pachemama didn’t mention).

.God.s wrath is meant to bring justice, to “clean up,.. the pontiff declares in an advance excerpt of the book published by the Italian daily Corriere della Sera Sunday.

.The Bible says that the flood is the result of God’s wrath,. Francis continues. .It is a figure of God’s wrath, who according to the Bible has seen too many bad things and decides to obliterate humanity..

No, the Bible says that the Flood *WAS* the *PUNISHMENT* motivated by God’s wrath. A one-time event, as quoted above. Humanity couldn’t drown the world if we tried because God said No.

.The biblical flood, according to experts, is a mythical tale,. the pope states, parenthetically adding his hope that no one writes that “the pope says the Bible is a myth..

Because the pope is not an expert!

.But myth is a form of knowledge,. he says. .The flood is a historical tale, archaeologists say, because they found traces of a flood in their excavations..

The Flood is historical and mythical. But is it true, Mister “Vicar of Christ”?

.A great flood, perhaps due to a rise in temperature and the melting of the glaciers, is what will happen now if we continue along the same path,. the pope warns.

That didn’t quite answer my question. So then, the wickedness of Noah’s generation was causing ‘climate change’ by driving SUVs and eating beef, and it could happen again even if God explicitly said it wouldn’t.

.God unleashed his wrath, but he saw a righteous one, took him and saved him,. he says. .The story of Noah demonstrates that God’s wrath is also salvific..

The story of Noah demonstrates that if climate change flooded the world then God would save His people from it. Thus, believers have nothing to fear about global warming. (Unbelievers don’t either because it’s all a lie but no, they’d rather believe those experts.)

The pope’s new book recounts conversations between the pontiff and Father Marco Pozza, chaplain of the prison of Padua in the north of Italy.

I found an unconfirmed online rumor that Pozza is also the patron saint of fallen Italian bicycling stars. He looks familiar, somehow.

Francis has made care for the environment and opposition to climate change a hallmark of his almost eight-year pontificate, taking to task world leaders who have shown too little resolve in their battle against global warming.

He said last year that it is “evident” that climate change is to blame for a number of humanity’s social ills, as well as disrupting the balance of nature.

.It is evident that climate change not only upsets the balance of nature, but causes poverty and hunger, affects the most vulnerable, and sometimes forces them to leave their land,. the pope told a group gathered in the Vatican.

Government causes more poverty, hunger and dispossession than anthropogenic climate variation ever could. Something to think about when you’re the head of the largest bureaucracy in the world with no respect for its founding documents. I know most Christians haven’t made it through Genesis chapter three but one would hope an EXPERT would at least have made it through chapter nine.
