An Oldie But A Goodie

I've posted this before and the complete and total lack of awareness regarding this ad is amazing.  For anyone who's ever flown, you know that it matters so much that failing to choose correctly will get you kicked off of the plane, or in the worst case scenario, it'll get you dead.

" Everyone’s yelling “communism” about Mamdani’s housing plan. They’re missing the actual trick. His own plan says the city will “engage lenders to trigger foreclosure” on landlords. I’ve done real estate 20 years. Here’s what that means: they let the building go distressed, force the bank to eat the loan, then hand it off with NO mortgage. A building with no loan is a money printer. And they pick who holds it. That’s not a housing plan. It’s a wealth transfer with a loyalty program attached. New York’s the test kitchen. California’s next. Follow me — I’ll show you the part nobody else is reading."

 

This whole scam has to violate the constitution somehow. Government can't just tale private property and give it to someone else.  

One Way?

" I’ve heard so many people insist there has to be more than one way to God, as though a single path is inherently unfair and multiple options are self-evidently just. But this argument almost never engages the actual question. It skips straight to fairness and never asks: fair given what? Fair given which diagnosis? Jesus Christ is not a preference. He is a prescription. And prescriptions are exclusive because diseases are specific. The Christian claim is not that God is stingy with salvation. It is that sin carries a documented consequence which is death and separation from God, and that consequence requires a specific solution. You cannot treat a debt by being a better person going forward. The debt still exists. You cannot treat it by praying in a certain direction or performing symbolic acts. Those things do not touch the penalty but only demonstrate that you have underestimated it. So when someone says there must be another way, they are making one of two arguments without realising it: either sin is not serious enough to require the cross, or God was too dramatic when he said the consequence was death. Both positions require you to call God a liar. That is your right. But it is not a generous theology, it is a pretentious contradiction. And perhaps more importantly, the message of Christ is not only about eternity. Accepting the resurrection means accepting your nature. It means living with the knowledge that every time you sin, you are crucifying him again. That image does not automatically stop sin, but it creates friction. It creates gravity, and it makes repentance something you pursue, not something you schedule. A judge cannot pardon an offense the defendant refuses to acknowledge. But the deeper problem is not even guilt, it is jurisdiction. When you reject Christ, you are not simply saying “I am innocent.” You are saying “this court has no authority over me.” You are contesting God’s right to declare the consequence in the first place. But God has already entered the record. 1 John 1 says you have sinned. Romans 6 says the wage of that sin is death. These are not opinions. They are the charges, filed and documented. Every other religious path; Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, however sincere and however demanding, hands you a program for self-improvement. They say: do this, abstain from that, accumulate enough, and you can close the gap yourself. They make you the solution to your own problem. Christianity alone says the gap cannot be closed from your side, and then points to the only one who closed it from his. So the question “why can’t there be many ways to God?” is really the question “why can’t I negotiate the terms of my own pardon?” And the answer is that you are not the judge. You did not set the penalty. You do not get to revise it because you find it inconvenient. The court is already in session, and the evidence is already submitted. The only remaining question is whether you will accept what has already been done on your behalf, or insist that a crime you committed in a court you refuse to recognise deserves a sentence you are willing to serve. Grace is not the absence of consequence. It is consequence fully met, by someone else, on your behalf. Rejecting that is the most expensive pride a person can carry."

More Nontraditional "Pride" Takes

 "Let’s cut the bullshit. This was never some beautiful organic celebration that everyone just naturally got behind. For years corporations and media outlets ran Pride Month like a frigging loyalty test. They shoved rainbow branding down everyone’s throat, turned it into a seasonal revenue stream, and treated anyone who didn’t enthusiastically participate like they were morally defective. Target made it a major corporate event. Media ran cover for it and attacked dissent. The whole thing was enforced through social pressure, institutional power, and money. This June the same institutions are quietly backing the fuck away. Target shrunk the displays down to almost nothing in a lot of stores. Corporate media is barely touching it. The same outlets that used to treat every rainbow initiative like sacred duty are now pretending it’s not worth covering. The funding dried up, the parades got smaller, and the institutions that once demanded compliance decided the backlash wasn’t worth the hassle anymore. Meanwhile, a few states stopped playing defense and started swinging. Tennessee, Indiana, and Alabama are openly declaring versions of Nuclear Family Month and Strong Families Month. They’re saying the nuclear family is God’s design, that fathers lead and protect their households, and they’re doing it without apology or hedging. Two years ago this would’ve triggered lawsuits and full media meltdowns. This year it’s mostly being ignored. That silence is the real story. The previous version of Pride wasn’t held up by genuine support. It was held up by power. Once that power started slipping, the whole thing started falling apart on its own. The institutions that spent years forcing everyone to clap along are now hoping nobody notices how fast they stopped."

BS, Petty, Cowardly, BS

 "As if helping a little old lady across the street is not the epitome of good or godly. This need to downplay decent, kind, gracious behavior when it's done by humans is, well, not good."

 

 This need to misrepresent or interpret what I say into something negative or nefarious is honestly kind of the opposite of good.   

The simple reality is that the perfection of  YHWH is orders of magnitude beyond helping an old woman across the street.   This is not to say that helping someone is bad, it's merely to point out the vast difference.  

That Dan engages in, and allows others to engage in, this sort of obvious misrepresentation/lire  demonstrates his hypocrisy when he bitches about how others do this to him.  

FYI, as with  pretty much any action motivation matters.  If one is helping an old lady across the street to an ATM so they can steal her money, maybe not the epitome of goodness.  Likewise, helping an old lady across the street to a a dark alley to kill her, not so nice.  

Jesus seemed to think that "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." might be a better epitome of good.  But it's not the first time Dan disagrees with Jesus.  

 

 

" And even if, at the time, this was not considered rape (because these were misogynistic and patriarchal societies where women were more like property/chattel than free humans), doesn't mean it wasn't rape. Perhaps, back then, virgin girls who had their families killed off by invading nations truly DID think, "Well, at least I get a husband out of this" when they were forcibly wed to the invading conquerors who "chose" them... doesn't mean it's moral or rational or just, in the same way that just because enslaving people was considered normative."

 

Dan seems pretty worked up about this semantic argument about whether Bathsheba was raped or not.   He also seems pretty worked up about "forced marriage" thousands of years ago.   What he doesn't seem particularly worked up about is the fact that girls as young as 9 are forcibly married to middle aged man in the present day.  In 2026 it is legal for a 50 year old man to marry a 9 year old, while Dan bitches about something from thousands of years ago.   Families slaughtered and children raped to defile them in the afterlife, or girls raped before being executed for not obeying their parents (again so they won't go to paradise), not something that gets a lot of attention from Dan.  But he's all in on lecturing YHWH and ancient Israel about how bad they were.  

This Reminds Me A Little Of Rush's Position

" 

I am pro-choice.

Before you block me, let me explain.

You know how the left does S-tier redefining of words? They hijack language and steal meanings that belonged to something else entirely, then act offended when you notice. Let me walk through a few examples, because this matters to where I am going.

The rainbow. God placed it in the sky as a covenant with Noah and all of creation, a promise never to destroy the world by flood again. Genesis 9:13 is clear on this. It is one of the oldest symbols of divine promise in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Now? It has been completely hijacked by the LGBT+-!$# movement.

Gender. This was once a grammatical and biological term. A thing measurable, observable, and rooted in reproductive science. Now it has been redefined as a feeling. Like anger. Like hunger. Something that can shift on a Tuesday afternoon and demand that the rest of the world restructure its language, its laws, and its locker rooms to accommodate it. A feeling that, apparently, overrides chromosomes, anatomy, and decades of established medicine.

So I have decided to play the same game. I am reclaiming a term. I am taking "pro-choice" back and using it the way I WANT to use it. Because if they get to redefine rainbow and gender, I get to redefine pro-choice. Fair is fair.

The Part Some People Apparently Need to Be Told

Here is a biological fact that, based on current political discourse, a surprising number of adults seem to have missed in their science education. Or perhaps they are choosing to ignore it for ideological reasons. Either way, I am going to state it plainly.

SEX CAUSES BABIES. Unless you are spending a significant sum of money in a laboratory with a turkey baster and a very patient fertility specialist, the mechanism by which human beings reproduce is biological intercourse. This has been true since before recorded history. It is not a controversial statement. It is not a political position. It is cell biology.

I only feel the need to say this because we are now living in an era where some people assert that men can have babies. So I figure if we are revisiting human reproduction from scratch, we might as well start at chapter one.

Surprising, I know.

What Being Pro-Choice Actually Means

Now. With that established. Here is my position.

I believe the woman should have a choice. And since, as we have just reviewed, sex causes babies... she should absolutely have a choice about whether she wants a baby. That choice is called NOT HAVING SEX.

For most of my followers, this is not going to be a revolutionary concept. The idea that choices have consequences, and that the most effective way to avoid a consequence is to make a different choice before the consequence occurs, is fairly well-established logic. It is actually the foundational premise of most adult decision-making.

You want to be pro-choice? Great. So do I. Choose responsibly. Choose with intention. Choose knowing that another human being may result from that choice. THAT is pro-choice.

Here Is Where I May Lose Some People

I want to be straightforward about this next part, because I think it actually separates me from a lot of people on both sides of this argument. We do not have to agree on everything. I have never demanded agreement as a condition of conversation.

First, a personal note. I asked my wife for exactly ONE thing last Christmas. Not a watch. Not a new anything. A donation to Pre-Born (

https://preborn.com/

). That is the organization I believe in when it comes to walking alongside women who are scared and uncertain, providing real support instead of a surgical procedure followed by a parking lot. Just thought you should know where I stand before I continue.

Now. Here is the part that may generate disagreement.

If the woman did NOT get a choice... if she truly, genuinely, did not have any say in what happened to her body... then I believe she should get a choice afterwards. And I think you know what I mean without me having to spell it out.

But it has to be IMMEDIATE. Not a political debate. Not a waiting period designed to make the decision more agonizing. If that is the circumstance, then the decision belongs to her and it should be available to her right away.

I know that is a soul. I am not pretending otherwise. I believe in life at conception. But I also believe in something else, which is that evil exists in this world. Real, terrible evil. And I am not willing to demand that a woman carry the physical evidence of someone else's evil for nine months and then for the rest of her life. That is a small compromise I am willing to make, specifically and only to get to the larger goal, which is eliminating abortion as a form of birth control.

Because THAT is what we are actually talking about the vast majority of the time. Not the hard cases. Not the tragic exceptions. We are talking about a society that has allowed the termination of a human life to become a casual alternative to contraception. We are talking about over 1.4 million procedures per year in the United States, the overwhelming majority of which have nothing to do with rape, incest, or the mother's health.

So Let Me Reclaim the Term

I am pro-choice. I believe women should have full, complete, and meaningful choices about their reproductive futures. Those choices include choosing their partners wisely. Choosing to use contraception, while knowing and accepting that no contraceptive is 100% effective, and that engaging in sexual activity with that knowledge means you have already accepted the residual risk of pregnancy that comes with it. Choosing to wait. Choosing the incredible responsibility of bringing a new human being into the world. And in the most devastating of circumstances, a choice I acknowledge with grief and not celebration.

What I am NOT is pro-casualty. I am not pro-convenience. I am not in favor of a system that has turned the permanent ending of a developing human life into a routine medical procedure with the same moral weight as having a tooth pulled.

The left stole the rainbow. They are busy redefining gender. They have turned "choice" into a one-directional concept that only ever seems to mean one specific thing.

I am taking it back. And I am using it the right way.

You want to be pro-choice? Start by making better ones.

But what do I know. I am only a science teacher who has spent sixteen years explaining to teenagers how human reproduction actually works, and who apparently still needs to explain it to some adults on the internet."

If people knew what regulation was costing them, I suspect they'd question the value of many  of the regulatory efforts.

More reason to despise Momdani's constitutionally questionable taking of private property and giving it away to ONGs.
