VIDEO: Is wokeness really dead?

Is the voting public finally losing patience with progressive politics? How real is the anti-woke backlash? Brendan O'Neill, the chief political writer at Spiked (or Sp!ked, if you like) is the author of a new book which tackles these questions.

In, Vibe Shift: The Revolt Against Wokeness, Greenism, and Technocracy, Mr O'Neill.makes the case that across western countries in both North America and Europe, the tide is turning against so-called “wokeism” and that the pendulum is swinging hard the other way. But, he warns, the hydra-headed monster isn't dead yet.

In this video, Mr O'Neill is interviewed by Spiked editor Tom Slater. They discuss how the elites' crazy ideologies are colliding with reality, common sense and public fury. If you can handle the English accents, you'll hear why he believes the common sense of the ordinary people is prevailing over woke politics, but that the left lunacy, although receding, is far from dead. 

 

There's a free speech issue here... indeed, freedom of thought... particularly in Canuckistan, where the Minister of Justice (so-called) announced on Tuesday that the Liberal government of Marx Carnage are ready to limit debate on their bill banning hate symbols, which also removes the religious exemption to some hate speech laws. 

Leftist ideology is inherently authoritarian. When moral certainty is paired with institutional power (universities, HR departments, media, professional bodies), dissenting views are treated as not mere disagreement but heresy.

As our old friend Dr Jordan Peterson learned, there are social and/or professional penalties for expressing unpopular views. The consequences of speaking out are such that academics and professionals find that discretion is the better part of value and start censoring themselves.

Disagreement from the prevailing orthodoxy is treated aas a moral defect. Framing complex social issues in binary moral terms -- you're either right (like us) or wrong -- reduces tolerance for ambiguity and gives people kudos for virtue signalling rather than the seeking of pragmatic solutions to problems.

Instead of being treated as individuals, people are now treated as members of identity categories. That's  how we find people "identifying as" a group of initials: L, G, B, T, 2S, POC, and so forth. This actually encourages divisions in society rather than the tolerant multiculturalism which is the stated goal of the ideologues. "Let's all form a circle, hold hands and sing 'Kumbaya'." Not any longer!

VIDEO: Tourism in Zimbabwe: visiting the ruins of Rhodesia

Earlier this month we posted "The truth about Rhodesia - a warning to liberals of the AABC", a video explaining how, in 1980, the British betrayed their kith and kin in Rhodesia, and gave the country, now renamed Zimbabwe over to the Marxist-oriented Comrade Robert Gabriel Mugabe, whose ZANU-PF party has ruled the unfortunate country ever since.

"Majority rule" has turned the once-prosperous (pre-1980) country into the sort of place characterized by President Trump as a "shithole". It has been ruined by ignorance, incompetence and corruption. John Edmonds, In the video, John Edmonds presents a potted history of Zimbabwe, then embarks on a tour to see for himself the ruins of Rhodesia and the reality of the failed state today.

 

This video too can well be described as a cautionary tale. This is what happens when you hand your country or state (Hello, California!) over to letting loony lefties whose "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" (DEI) agenda is driven by anti-white racism, gender ideology and a complete ignorance of economics. Keep it in mind when you vote.

Tumbler Ridge massacre just an excuse to bash trans folk, says activist

"Let's not politicize this," said politicians of all stripes as they cried on cue for the victims of Tuesday's school shooting at Tumbler Ridge BC that left nine people dead, including the killer, and 27 injured.

Among those weeping was Marni Panas, a "trans activist" based in Edmonton, who says her heart broke when she saw the news. When rumours (confirmed much later by the RCMP)  began to circulate that the suspect, at first described as "a woman in a brown coat" was actually a biological male, Jesse Strang, who "identified as a woman", Ms Panas watched in horror what she says has become a predictable pattern emerge online. 

Within minutes, she says some people began to leverage the tragedy to "advance hate" against the trans community. "This will just get uglier now for us and for our community as a whole, when our attention should be on the care of these victims and to support communities," she said.

This post is based on a report published this morning on... wait for it... CBC News.

Puzzled footnote: Agent 3 reports that Canada's Notional Pest oops, National Post, the least left of the lickspittle Canadian meeja, has turned off comments on all articles and columns related to this story. Wonder why... But you can still comment on the social media!

And check this out...

Mounties REFUSE to confirm trans "identity" of Tumbler Ridge killer

The massacre at Tumbler Ridge BC occurred at about 1300 PST yesterday. As I write, 21 hours later, Canada's lickspittle mainstream media are hushing up the identity and sexual orientation of the murderer -- Jesse "Jess" Strang. On the noon (EST) news, CTV News went with the liberal party line, as laid down by the state-owned CBC, to wit:

"RCMP Supt. Ken Floyd told reporters that investigators had identified a suspect, but would not immediately release a name. He also said the shooter's motive remained unclear, adding that police are still investigating how the victims are connected to the shooter. 

"Police said they believe the suspected shooter found dead at the school is the same person described in the active shooter alert sent to phones in the area earlier today. In an earlier alert Tuesday, police had described the suspect as 'female in a dress with brown hair.'"

Why the radio silence? Because, you see, Mr/Ms/Whatever Strang was a transsexual or at least a transsexual wannabe. That doesn't fit the woke wisdom which prevails in Canada, that there's nothing wrong with people who wish to change their birth sexuality, or should we say the sexuality imposed on them by their parents.. 

They "act out", the wokesters say, only because they're being deprived of their "right" to decide their gender identity for themselves. To suggest that people like Strang might be dangerous to themselves and others because of a form of mental illness is (of course) "unacceptable".

Another gender-confused "person" shoots up another school...

...in Canada, this time. Nine people have been killed, two seriously wounded, and 25 others injured in attacks at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and a home in Tumbler Ridge, about 415 miles north of Vancouver, British Columbia. Al Jazeera reports.

Six victims were found dead inside the school. A seventh died on the way to hospital Two more people were found dead in a home nearby. The Mounties won't say "definitively" that the shootings at the school are connected with those at the home. In fact, they're reluctant to divulge any information that would confirm our suspicions, because (Walt believes) it reflects badly on the sick state of woke Western society. 

The suspect's body, reportedly clad in a dress -- you can see where this is going -- was found at the school with a self-inflicted injury. Inspector Knacker says the cops know the attacker's identity but have not revealed their name and gender. 

But hold on! Thanks to @reddux on Twitter, the identity of the shooter can now be confirmed as Jesse "Jess" Strang, a biological male who started to "identify as a girl" around 2023.

There's a  more revealing (in a way) photo on Reddux's thread but you can check that for yourself. 

In 2021, Mr/Ms/Whatever Strang launched a YouTube channel which was promoted by his mother (aha!) on her Facebook account. The channel was dedicated to "hunting, self-reliance, guns" and his... errr... other interests. 

[Let's forget about pronouns and call Strang by his surname. Ed.] OK. Strang was raised in a family that valued hunting, and began learning how to shoot rifles when he was just a child. Many guns were kept in the family's residence. 

Strang's mother's Facebook posts indicate Strang may have struggled with behavioral issues, including violent tendencies, from a very young age. Strang fatally shot 9 people (at last count) prior to taking his own life.

Not only the Vatican opposes woke gender ideology (+ bonus VIDEO)

Yes, Virginia, there really is a conspiracy of the WEF/Davos/one-worlders to destroy Western civilization, "that all may be one".  They do it by insinuating their queer, secular humanist, ultra-woke ideology into every possible medium for social intercourse, to the point where their perverted ideas and ideals have now become the accepted orthodoxy.

Accepted, that is, in the Woke West -- the AABC countries and western Europe. You don't hear the "influencers" and thought leaders in places like Hungary, Russia, China, India, Africa and Latin America pushing the DEI agenda. or giving platforms to drag queens (see video) or queers preaching against the morality of the Bible or the Quran.  

Say what you will about Islam, Sikhism, even Hinduism, their holy books as well as the Bible give us a moral compass, a way to live, a code of proper behaviour that will please -- not offend -- God. And there are believers, even in the West, who look to the scriptures for guidance, and reject the amorality of the New World Order.

Because the One-Worlders keep pushing their amoral ideologies and decadent culture on the rest of the world, the clash between the "old values" and the New World Order comes up in every international conference or gathering, particularly those organized by the Disunited Nations. We see that right now at COP30, the 30th annual United Nations climate change conference, where the unwoke (read: non-Western) rejection of gender ideology risks complicating the outcome.

Six governments -- Paraguay, Argentina, Iran, Indonesia, Malaysia as well as the Holy See -- have moved to attach to a key text their own interpretations which (according to the apostles of queerness) would block recognition of trans and non-binary people, and set a "harmful precedent" that could "seep into other shared decisions" taken by the UN’s climate body. 

A reliable source (who wisely chose to remain anonymous) told an international press agency yesterday that "There is 'frustration within rooms' because they were not authorized to discuss the sensitive issue. It’s become a bit ridiculous — we have six footnotes right now; should we have 90?"

At stake is a revamped "Gender Action Plan" (seriously... GAP) meant to guide work for the next decade. The GAP includes commandments to "mainstream gender across climate programs". Climate change, it seems, is no longer as important as the rights of wimmin... and those who identify as any of the other 90-odd genders besides "male".

The GAP was adopted in 2017 and strengthened in 2019. COP30 is now working on a new, even more woke version. The footnotes proposed by those who believe there are only two genders -- M and F -- reveal their proponents' red lines around the term "gender", some longstanding, others part of the rising tide of anti-wokeism.

The Holy See, for example, says it understands gender as "grounded on the biological sexual identity that is male and female." Pretty straightforward, eh. Argentina, a majority-Catholic country led by President Trump's ally Javier Milei has rolled back DEI policies and LGBTQ(etc) rights, and attacked the cancer of wokeism.

A source on the other side of the gender ideology divide contends there is no need to reopen the definition, because parties can already interpret decisions according to their national circumstances. "Allowing countries to attach their own interpretations to agreed language does not protect national sovereignty. It undermines multilateralism itself." Aha! That word -- multilateralism -- is the shibboleth of the New World Order! 

Here's another quote that reveals the not-so-well-hidden agenda. Bridget Burns, executive director of the Women’s Environment and Development Organization, told AFP, "If every Party could footnote core terms like finance, ambition or equity, we would have no negotiation left -- only fragmentation. Gender equality is an agreed principle under this Convention. It needs no qualification." Let there be no dissent!

How to square the circle? One possible off-ramp, said the anonymous source first referred to, would be for the opposing countries to deliver statements after a decision is adopted, ensuring their positions are reflected in the official record. Walt thinks that's a fine idea, since COP30, GAP, and the whole steaming pile of bullshit will be largely ignored by everyone except, perhaps, our woke Western government.

And now for a video on a not-unrelated subject. Here's our old friend Gavin McInnes -- good to see ya, Gavin! -- talking about the insufferable wokeness of the BBC, where it seems female (real female) staffers have had enough of the Corpse's trans dogma. The state-run media doesn't just crowbar gender-neutral weirdoes into every programme, they also deny murderers are male if the guy is wearing a dress. Sez Gavin "It's as ridiculous as it is dangerous." Give a listen.

 

Dare we hope that Leo XIV will reverse the "woke revolution"?

Today we're pleased to present a mash-up [How about "Editor's cut"? Ed.] of a recent "Underground" vlog from Remnant TV, featuring our traditional Catholic friend, Michael J. Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper. If, after you've watched the clips, you want to see the whole thing (run time 41:12), just click on the link.

The video is Mr Matt's response to the election of Pope Leo XIV. Is he a "traditionalist"? (asks Mr Matt) No, he’s not. Will he denounce the revolution of Vatican II? Likely not. So, what hope is there for a reversal -- or at least a halt -- to Francis' attempt to remake Holy Mother Church to conform to the Age of Woke?

Mr Matt lets us hear from a conservative (and non-Catholic) voice, that of Thomas Sowell, an American economist, economic historian, social philosopher, and political commentator. Listen carefully to his concise and precise analysis of what's wrong with the "Church of Francis".

Ed. regrets to advise that Michael Matt has learned that the clip supposedly featuring the voice of Thomas Sowell was a fake -- generated by AI. Mr Matt has deleted it from his video (the one linked above), and Walt has also deleted it from his Rumble account. AI is turning out to be a very dangerous thing. We'll be more careful about reposting videos, and trust that you, dear readers, will keep a healthy sense of skepticism... yes, even about what you see on WWW.

 

In his video, Mr Matt concludes that, yes, there is a glimmer of hope. No counter-revolution in sight yet, but some of the first signs of change portend a change "back to the future". Let us continue to resist.

 As the New York Times article cited by Mr Matt shows, we are starting to win!

One more thing... Mr Matt got a good chuckle out of this item from Saturday Night Live.

Indeed. Catholicism is not like a cafeteria. You can't pick and choose which things you want to be believe and which items of faith or its practice you want to pass over. You have to accept all of the Faith... or none of it. As Saint Ignatius of Loyola said, "What seems to me white, I will believe black if the hierarchical Church so defines."

VIDEO: "Trump doesn't represent us!", whine two weird wimmin

Our friends at Blazing Cat Fur sent us the link to this gem, which originally appeared on "X". Apparently President Trump's declaration that there are only two genders -- male and female -- has hit these ladies women queers wimmin whatever pretty hard. Let's all join them in a good whine.

OK, you can stop laughing, and start again as you view this very appropriate meme.

Is it possible that we are seeing the beginning of the end of wokeism? Hope so!!!

"Modern society is revolting..."

Modern society is revolting against God and his created order. In some ways, there's nothing new: "He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto his own, and his own received Him not." (St. John 1:10-11 DRV) 

In another way, the revolt seems to have arrived at its theoretical conclusion: we are the gods of our own creation. 

Society accepts that humans can become animals; which was preceded by the idea animals are persons too; which was preceded by a rejection of human dignity (physician assisted suicide); Preceded by the rejection of sexual differences of male and female (gender ideology); preceded by the rejection of the nature of marriage (homosexual "marriage"); preceded by the rejection of heterosexual normalcy (gay rights); 

Preceded by the rejection of the sanctity of human life (abortion); preceded by the rejection of the dignity of motherhood (feminism); preceded by the rejection of differentiated roles (women in the workforce); which was preceded by the rejection of the sanctity of marriage (legalized divorce); which was preceded by a rejection of the family as the unit of society (women's suffrage). 

The descent has not been slow -- all these things (except perhaps women's suffrage) happened within living memory -- but it has been sure. 

It only remains for the revolutionaries to eliminate the dissenters. Let them come. What can separate us from the love of God?

VIDEO: Carolyn Burjoski - Canuck anti-woke heroine

Walt's nominee for Canadian hero of the year is Carolyn Burjoski, then a teacher in the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB), who was silenced in 2022 after expressing to the board her concerns about library books with content supporting gender transitions (read: sex change operations) for young people.

Board Chair Scott Piatkowski halted Ms Burjoski's presentation at a WRDSB meeting for comments she rnade which he alleged violated the Ontario Human Rights Code. He later described the teacher's comments as "transphobic" and "questioning trans people's right to exist."

Ms Burjoski fought back -- a shining example of the kind of "resistance" which is Walt's theme today. In May 2022, she filed a defamation lawsuit against the WRDSB and Chairman Scott. The board responded by bringing a motion to have the suit thrown out. In this short video, Ms Burjoski speaks about what happened.

    

On November 23rd of this year, Mr Justice James Ramsay of the Ontario Superior Court dismissed the WRDSB's motion, and ordered the Board to pay Ms Burjoski's costs in the amount of C$30,000 (nearly $22,000 in real money). 

Judge Ramsay ruled that Ms Burjoski's lawsuit against the school board should be allowed to proceed, and... yes, there's more... called the comments made against her "defamatory." Said the judge, "They accused her of breaching the Human Rights Code, questioning the right of trans persons to exist and engaging in speech that included hate. She did not do any of those things. 

"The chairman of the board acted with malice or at least, with a reckless disregard for the truth. He had made an embarrassingly erroneous and arbitrary decision to silence a legitimate expression of opinion and he was widely criticized for it. It is not a stretch to infer that, realizing that, he tried to justiff himself with the public by assassinating the plaintiff s character." 

Furthermore, the judge said, human rights legislation "does not prohibit public discussion of anything," and "what happened here should not happen in a democratic society." 

Ms Burjoski's legal victory shows that parents who want to speak up at school board meetings to voice their concerns need not fear being silenced. After this excellent start to her ongoing legal battle to hold the WRDSB accountable, Ms Burjoski will now continue with her defamation suit. But she will need your help. 

In legal affairs such as this, the process is the punishment. The stress of the litigation forced her to go on leave from her teaching position, and the money she's supposed to get from the Board doesn't even cover her actual costs so far. Ms Burjoski.

But Ms Burjoski believes she must press on. Her victory (so far) shows that parents who want to speak up at school board meetings to voice their concerns need not fear being silenced. Click here to visit her website, and please lend whatever support you can. And tell her Walt sent ya!

Would you believe "queer ecology"?

VIDEO: How many sexes are there in Canada? Mad Max answers

Even Canada's lickspittle media couldn't ignore the "Million March for Children", held in cities across Canuckistan yesterday. 1000s of concerned Canadian parents, kids, and others -- including religious Catholics, Protestants and (yes!) Muslims -- showed up to protest LGBT indoctrination in the schools of the Great Woke North.

In the capital city, crowds of protesters and counter-protesters, believed to be in the hundreds on each side, yelled and chanted at each other from across Wellington Street, a large demonstration opposed to teaching LGBTQ2S+ issues in schools took over Parliament Hill. 

Yes, we have video! Maxime Bernier, erstwhile leader of the People's Party of Canada (Yes, he and they are still fighting the good fight!) answers the headline question. 

You'd think the answer would be obvious, but "Mad Max" is the only leader of a Canadian political party with the intestinal fortitude to say it out loud!

The stated goal of the protesters is to make schools -- Canadian school boards, particularly the Toronto District School Board, are notoriously "woke" -- stop teaching children about gay, lesbian and trans people, which the protesters claim runs counter to their rights as parents to control their children's moral and social upbringing. 

Protesters held signs with slogans that included "leave the kids alone" and "pride comes before destruction". Some people at the protest called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign, as the ever-popular "Fuck Trudeau" flags, first seen during the Freedom Convoy, fluttered in the wind.

The protesters complained about "intrusive elements of sexual orientation and gender ideology" (read: pro-queer agenda) in the school system. They said they don't hate the LGBTQ2S+ community, but they oppose the school systems promoting queer issues in ways that they believe go against the values and beliefs they want to raise their children with. 

The march comes on the heels of months of cultural battles in Canada as well as the US of A over "gay rights", particularly involving transgender people and "gender-affirming care" -- e.g. body mutilation -- for minors. 

Besides cutting off various appendages, "medical interventions" can include puberty blockers, and hormone treatments. Other parts of "gender-affirming care" (read: grooming!) can include accepting the use of a different name or preferred pronouns or dressing as the preferred gender, which we used to call "transvestism" (a psychological abnormality or perversion) or simply "cross-dressing".

The governments of the provinces of Saskatchewan and New Brunswick have tabled legislation that would require that educators obtain parental consent if a child wishes to use a different name at school or be addressed by different pronouns. Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Education Minister Stephen Lecce have discussed similar ideas but, so far, no legislation has been announced in Ontario.

The issue has also  raised its bewigged head in federal politics. At the recent Conservative Party of Canada convention, delegates voted in favour of a future Conservative government prohibiting "life-altering" medical and surgical interventions for "gender-diverse and transgender people" under the age of 18. But the new Tory leader, Pierre Poilievre, said that delegates can vote as they like, but he's the leader and willl go along with the liberals if that's what it takes to get elected.

Canadians should hope that, as Max Bernier said, common sense will prevail. But don't count on it.

VIDEO: Wokeness is as old as the Bible itself; so is the remedy

This homily was given by Father David Wilton, C.P.M. of the Fathers of Mercy at the Chapel of Divine Mercy in Auburn KY. on 24 July 2022.

Putin's right about one thing!

Both Dr Jordan Peterson and Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper, have been quoted here and elsewhere as saying that we must be careful not to vilify Russian President Vladimir Putin as the devil incarnate, "the new Hitler", etc. 

His invasion of Ukraine is evil, to be sure, but, looking at the broader picture -- the fight to preserve Western civilization -- we must recognize that Mr Putin is almost the only leader* challenging the un-Christian secular humanism which is the politically correct orthodoxy of Europe and North America... except Russia.

Case in point: the ceaseless barrage of pro-queer propaganda forcing homosexuality, gender fluidity, and gender ideology down our throats (or other orifices). Most older folks aren't buying it, but our children are being taught, from curricula written by queers in our public schools, that it's "normal" to be attracted to members of the same sex, and to act on that attraction. 

"Gender affirmation surgery", which we used to call "sex change operations" are not just approved but encouraged. And in our public libraries, drag queens are grooming our innocent children. And all this is being paid for by our tax dollars!

You won't see any of this in Russia! The state news agency, TASS, reports that this week legislators of the State Duma (the lower house of Russia's parliament), unanimously passed a draft law, sponsored by 400 of the Duman's 450 members, banning the media from publishing propaganda for "non-traditional sexual relations".

The chairman noted that the Duma had received high-profile initiatives requesting the ban on such information. He stressed that this issue was very important because such propaganda is aimed at destroying Russian society and traditional family values. Odd, isn't it, that parliamentarians in the USA, UK, Canada etc haven't figured that out? Maybe I should have said "queer", rather than "odd"! 

The bill prohibits the promotion of non-traditional sexual relations, pedophilia and the display of LGBT-related information and information encouraging gender changes among teenagers, on the Internet, in the media, in books, on audio and visual platforms, and in movies and advertisements. 

It also introduces a mechanism restricting children’s access to LGBT-related information on paid services. In particular, it demands users enter codes or take other actions to confirm their age. In addition, the document suggests banning audio and visual services from spreading information harmful to the health and development of children. 

The Duma legislators also approved in the first reading a draft law stipulating administrative liability for propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations, pedophilia as well as gender change among teenagers and adults. 

The new bill stipulates maximum fines of 5 million rubles (over $81,400) for spreading LGBT propaganda among minors and 4 million rubles (over $65,146) among adults. Foreign nationals involved in promoting non-traditional sexual relations propaganda will be expelled from Russia and fined up to 400,000 rubles ($6,500). An administrative 15-day detention is also possible in regard to foreign nationals. 

Only in Russia, you say? Pity, sez  Walt. We need something like that here.

* Footnote: There are a handful of foreign leaders, including Italy's Prime Minister Giorgina Meloni, and Hungarian PM Viktor Orban, who I think would agree with President Putin on the necessity for such a law, but Russia remains the only country in which a ban on pro-queer propaganda is now the law of the land.

VIDEO: Hungarians overwhelmingly reject LGBT gender ideology

Further to "A victory for Christian democratic, conservative, patriotic politics", Walt is grateful to "CookeV" for posting this comment in the Globe & Mail report on the referendum which was included in this weekend's Hungarian election.

Along with the election, a referendum was held on four LGBT questions. There was a 50% voter-turnout threshold needed for the results to be valid, which was not met with the percentage sitting at about 44% as I write this. Nevertheless, of those 44% valid votes, here are the results: 

Do you support the holding of a sexual orientation session for minor children in a public educational institution without the consent of the parent? Yes: 7.66%, No: 92.34% 

Do you support promoting gender reassignment treatments for underage children? Yes: 4.11%, No: 95.89% 

Do you support the introduction of sexual media content to minor children that affects their development without restrictions? Yes: 4.68%, No: 95.32% 

Do you support showing media to minors showing gender change? Yes: 4.83%, No: 95.17% 

What's interesting was the spoilage rate at about 20%. Leading up to the referendum, LGBT activists had encouraged voters to spoil their ballots to prevent the 50% turnout threshold from being met. Which looks like is what occurred.

And yes, Ed. found a very appropriate video: "Jordan Peterson debunks leftist gender ideology in 8 minutes". Here it is.

What's the matter with Americans and Canadians that they can't see through this liberal "woke" plot to emasculate men and destoy what's left of our Christian civilization?!

Liberal pro-queer agenda working; 1000s of young peoople converted!

For years now, Walt and many others have been saying that the liberal elites and their lickspittle media have a not-so-secret "pro-queer agenda".

Every day, susceptible young people are bombarded with the message that it's not just OK, but cool to be gay. That's why you have characters like Raj and Howard in Big Bang Theory, the most pervasive... and unfunny... sitcom on TV. 

The point seems to be to reduce the white population of the West, by swelling the ranks (f not the members) of the heterosexual populace. Whities are, of course, the only ones swallowing this falling for this since nonsense.

But falling for it they are. According to a Gallup survey published last week, 5.6% of Americans now identify as LGBTQ2Setcetc, up from 4.5% in a survey done in 2017. But it's not oldies like Walt and Poor Len [and Ed.! Ed.] who are pushing the numbers up. Gallup says liberals, young people, and women skew more heavily towards LGBT identity. [That would explain Ellen and Rachel. Ed.]

While only 2% of Boomers identify as queer, that number increases to 15.9% among Gen Z adults, which includes people ages 18 to 23. Similarly, political affiliation has a strong correlation to LGBT identity. 13% liberals identify as LGBT, compared with only 2.3% of those self-identifying as conservatives. 

As anyone who's been to a rally for Pete Buttigieg [Who he? Ed.] can attest, when one examines both age and political identification, young people who are politically liberal identify as LGBT at astronomic rates. Never before has such a large proportion of an American generation intended -- like Sheldon -- to  avoid a heterosexual relationship. And no generation has been so set on foregoing biological children, making this a change that threatens to reorient the central social experience of family in the United States.

Ellie Gardey, writing in The American Spectator, presents a theory that LGBT identity is socially conditioned, and that over 30% of young liberals adopt gay or transgender identities at least in part because those identities are celebrated within "young progressive" communities. 

Young liberals today treat LGBT identity as a protected class, grant greater social status to those who are gay and transgender, and even devote an entire month of the year -- Pride Month -- to parades and celebrations promoting LGBT identity. That's how young people are encouraged to form a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender identity. 

And then there's the feminazis, rightly reviled by Gavin McInnes and Proud Boys. Liberal politics includes skepticism of the traditional role of women in marriage and motherhood, with a heavy admixture of man-hating. Men represent the patriarchy -- a society in which only men can be the leaders of commercial, political, religious, and cultural life. Resentment towards this leads women to seek new ways of life (read: lesbianism) where they are free from the "domination" of men.

In today's open, inclusive, diverse etc etc Western society, there's enormous pressure to conform. That explains the increasing numbers of young females who are identifying as transgender. A 2018 study from Brown University found that "rapid-onset gender dysphoria" among young women could be linked to friends who identify as LGBT. We're seeing a "social contagion", something that is copied by those exposed to abnormal behaviour.

But wait, there's more. Ms Gardey adds that  the queer agenda is pushed on young people by "celebrities" who promote bisexual or queer identities, and encourage their young fans to freely express their LGBT identity as well. They promote their queerness as a point of pride and receiving adulation from their fans and media attention for their identities.

We come now to the key point of Ms Gardey's analysis. The growing number of non-heterosexual people, makes LGBT identity and issues increasingly important politically. The Biden administration is already pushing the queer agenda through the Equality Act, recently passed by the House. 

If the Senate passes it without amendment, the Act would make sexual orientation and gender identity protected classes in the same way that race is protected. That would certainly please young progressives who want religious schools and adoption agencies to recognize same-sex marriage, transgender men to be free to use female bathrooms and compete on women’s sports teams, and doctors to be mandated to perform sex-reassignment surgeries.

Dear reader, if you think those things are morally wrong, if you're not looking forward to the triumph of the alphabet people, that's too bad, because the only hope now is that the Equality Act will be substantially amended (or even defeated) in the Senate. The chances of that happening are slim and none. (Lifetime pct .982.)

But take heart. Any Act of Congress can be repealed. Let the campaign to restor normalcy (and God's law) to America begin now!

Further reading: Have you noticed that the less-than-sympathetic gay characters who used to appear in South Park and Family Guy, have been downplayed (or "disappeared") entirely, in the last couple of years? Walt can imagine the Queer Lobby saying to Seth MacFarlane, "Hey, c'mon! We'se not all pedophiles, like Mr Herbert!" And then there's Mr Slave and Big Gay Al, from South Park. What happened to them?!

So says Fr. Jerry Pokorsky, a priest of the Diocese of Arlington VA and director of Human Life International. In his curiously-titled essay "In Gratitude for Joe Biden", published yesterday on the CatholicCulture.org website, Father Pokorsky calls Sleepy Joe "the most aggressively anti-Catholic President in history."

Why, then, should we be grateful to him? We'll come to that shortly, but first let's ask Father: But doesn't Mr Biden make a great show of being Catholic? Did he not say, in 2005, "The next Republican that tells me I'm not religious, I'm going to shove my rosary beads down their throat!"? 

That is true, says Fr. Pokorsky, but  despite Mr Biden's outward show of piety, "for most of his political life — from his consistent pro-abortion record to his officiating at a gay wedding in 2016 — despite his Catholic affiliation and public pious practices, Joe Biden has magnified and institutionalized countless major violations of the Ten Commandments."

"The hypocrisy rivals that of the chief priests and Pharisees, and is worthy of the same condemnation," Fr. Pokorsky writes. "Indeed, Biden is the most aggressively anti-Catholic President in history."

Why would the priest say that? Because of the hypocrisy -- the dichotomy between his outward show of piety on the one hand and his record of supporting evil on the other. "Biden’s habitual and unapologetic sinful acts are on full display." 

There's a lot more to being a faithful Catholic, Fr. Pokorsky says, than carrying a rosary, the priest declares. "It is presumptuous and dangerous to proclaim oneself as a devout Catholic or to encourage (or even allow) the description." Indeed, Jesus said, "Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father..." (St. Matthew 7:21 DRV)

China Joe's positions on key moral issues are hardly consistent with his description of himself as a Catholic. For instance, he has declared himself committed to codifying Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. And he has promised to appoint judges "that respect foundational precedents like Roe."

But wait, there's more.... Mr Biden has also called on Congress to quickly pass the Equality Act, which would add sexual orientation and gender identity as protected classes under the 1964 Civil Rights Act. And there's his nomination of Xavier Becerra to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. See "Biden names never-Trumper and gender ideologue to HHS", WWW 26/2/21.

Fr. Pokorsky argues persuasively that Mr Biden's insistent claim that he is a devout Catholic forces an "unavoidable choice." We either: stand with the Church and reject Biden's "iconic culture-of-death policies," or we join those who "celebrate Biden’s flouting of Church teaching."

So why should we be thankful that Sleepy Joe now now snoozes in the Oval Office, waking every now and then to undo some of the good done by President Trump? Because, Father says, "The election of Biden has forced a crisis. From the ashes, we can expect the Holy Spirit to raise up successors to those who opposed another anti-Catholic tyrant: Saint John Fisher and Saint Thomas More. May there be many of them!" Amen.

VIDEOS: Biden names never-Trumper and gender ideologue to HHS

Walt's absence for the last few days has been necessitated by the speed and audacity with which George Soros' First Puppet (aka Sleepy Joe Biden) has moved to erase from the history of the Disunited States President Trump, and all his works, no matter whether doing so helps or hurts the nation. I needed time to catch up. 

China Joe will be assisted in his anti-Trump mission by a slew of radical activists who have been appointed to top levels in his administration. Chief among these are Dr (((Rachel Levine))), picked to be Biden's Assistant Secretary of Health, and Xavier Becerra, an attorney and Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus from 2013 to 2017, nominated as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Dr Levine is described by the lamestream media as "a gender non-conforming biological male who identifies as transgender". I think this means "she" is a transvestite (or cross-dresser, as we used to call them -- like Ed Wood), or maybe a trans woman wannabe who hasn't had the operation yet.

"Her" appointment represents the triumph of the alphabet people and gender ideology over the old-fashioned idea that God created one man and one woman. "She" advocates "gender fluidity", the insane notion that people should be able to switch back and forth from one mode of "gender expressiion" to another, and that the state (i.e. taxpayers) should assist them, by paying for surgical and chemical "gender reassignment". 

In this video, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) asks Dr Levine a pointed question about the surgery, which he likens to female genital mutilation, a barbaric practice common in certain [read: Islamic] parts of the Middle East and Africa.

   

Unless the sane members of the Senate can prevent it, Xavier Becerra will become Dr Levine's boss. Mister Becerra is not a doctor, but a lawyer (and lapsed Catholic) who has been tireless in fighting for the killing of innocent unborn babies. ["Abortion rights", shurely. Ed.] 

Most recently, as Attorney General of California, Mr Becerra has spent a lot of his time suing President Trump. He took the Trump administration to court 110 times, making him a key figure of the anti-Trump "resistance". Apparently that qualifies him to take over leadership of the fight against the Covid Dempanic, but Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) can't figure out how. Nor can a number of eminent doctors. Here's the video.

   

 And then there's the admitted supporter of Islamic terrorism who's been named to the Department of Homeland Security. [We regret that limitations of space prevent us from posting anything more. M-106.]
