Virtual Reality Porn is Next Great Threat to Church

What if Satan can convince your brain that you are actually having sex with lots of women?  If you were married, would that be adultery?  If you were a 13 year old boy could you end up with a porn addiction and NO ABILITY to interact with a real woman?

What if you actually end up preferring having sex with women in virtual reality instead of having sex with your real-life wife?  What if your real-life wife actually preferred having sex with other men in virtual reality?

Do you see even more problems coming for our society in the very near future?  How about the problems this could deliver to the men, women, boys and girls who are members at all of our churches?  How about if our pastors and leaders get caught up in virtual reality porn? 

Virtual Reality Porn Is the Next Greatest Threat To The Church

A reporter invited to experience virtual reality pornography with a Samsung Gear VR headset chronicled the lifelike details of the sexual encounter. He noted "after trying out VR porn, I don't think anyone who experiences it will be able to go back to 2D porn. It's that realistic."

The New York Times reports, "While virtual-reality pornography may feel like something out of a science fiction movie, it already has a formidable, if underground, presence. According to one porn site, views of VR porn are up 275 percent since it debuted in the summer of 2016. Now the site is averaging about 500,000 views."

Ready or not, the new frontier of pornography is here.

However, as Josh McDowell asks (and answers) in the all new Conquer Series:

"Is the church ready for this? No, because they are not aware of it."

Many pastors are unfamiliar with virtual reality in general, unaware of Samsung Gear VR or Oculus Rift and the multi-billion-dollar industry around it (such as Oculus Rift being bought and developed by Facebook).

In 2016, the Barna Group, in partnership with Josh McDowell Ministry, launched a landmark study on the pervasive nature of Internet pornography and its impact on the church entitled The Porn Phenomenon: The Explosive Growth of Pornography and How It's Impacting Your Church, Life, and Ministry. This 800+ page study investigates the pervasiveness of pornography, particularly among American Christians.

A few of its finding include:

- Nearly half of young people are actively seeking pornography weekly or more frequently.

- More than one-in-four individuals between the ages of 25 and 30 first viewed porn before hitting puberty.

- The survey also found that 21 percent of youth pastors and 14 percent of pastors involved in the study are currently struggling with porn use.

However, the unique area of virtual reality has only begun to impact culture. Market Watch writer Jennifer Booton writes these interactive experiences are

"...designed to be so powerful and immersive it tricks people into believing they are fully present in a simulated world."

The President of one VR porn company has said in an interview with Japan Times,

"If people harbor a desire for abnormal or illicit sex, fulfilling that desire may be difficult or risky in real life, to say the least. But VR can make it all possible."

The problem for consumers is that they are handing over uncontrolled access to their brains to pornographers.

We have mirror neurons in our brain that help us to learn - when we learn to tie our shoelaces by watching someone else, that is those mirror neurons at work.

Neuroscientist, Dr William Struthers, who wrote Wired For Intimacy; How Pornography Hijacks the Male Brain, says,

"These mirror neurons are involved when someone views pornography because what they view, they vicariously experience and learn from."

Mix that with the illicit sex acts that pornographers are showing in these high definition, virtual reality films and you have a deadly recipe that is going to have devastating impacts on the viewers and in turn on the broader community. What these viewers see in virtual reality, they will act out to some degree in reality.

How can men (and churches) prepare for the battle against sexual addiction?

Lord forgive us for we know not what we are doing.

Does America Have a Porn Addiction?

There is a massive porn site called PORN HUB which tracks all sorts of information about the people looking at their site.  They know the stats of what state, what time and even what sex has logged in to view their content.

It seems that Porn Hub also tracks how sporting events affect their regular flow of traffic.  According to their statisticians, during the Super Bowl America's porn watching took a dip.  But as soon as the game was over Americans immediately logged back into Pron Hub...males and females!

Also of interest is that the top day of the week for viewing porn in America is....Sunday.

Not too many years ago, Americans went to church on Sunday morning, then spent the day at rest and then went back to church at night for prayer and hymn sings.

Today Americans would rather stay home and feast on perversion and lust.

New England Patriots Fans Turned To Porn After Stunning Super Bowl Loss

On Monday, Pornhub’s statisticians were busy computing the numbers behind the web site’s internet traffic after Super Bowl LII on Sunday, February 4th. The unexpected result: New England Patriot fans apparently turned to porn to ease the pain after their team’s stunning loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

As America’s game kicked off from 6:30 pm to 10:30 pm Eastern Time, Pornhub’s statisticians noted, “across the United States traffic dropped an average of -24 percent” below the typical average for  Sunday. Around 9 pm, a further decline in porn watching occurred with the largest drop of -28 percent, while the eyes of Americans were glued to their 60 Inch LED TV that was, of course, purchased on credit. After the game, football fans rushed back to their computers, mobile devices, and fancy tablets with a +9 percent surge above the average levels for 11 pm. Statisticians said Sunday around 11 pm is Pornhub’s highest traffic time of the week, so a +9 percent move is quite impressive. 

Across the entire country, game-day traffic declined, but the percentage differed depending on the state and or region. Here is what the statisticians had to say: 

The nation’s most dedicated football fans were from Delaware, where traffic dropped by -45% between 6pm and 11pm. Elsewhere on the East Coast, traffic dropped by -43% in Rhode Island, -42% in Massachusetts and -41% in Pennsylvania. That’s quite understandable seeing as both teams were from Eastern states. The smallest traffic changes happened in Kansas (-11%), Nevada (-12%) and Alabama (-14%).  

Traffic declines were similar in both Philadelphia and Boston during most of the game, though, Eagles fans delayed the ole’ cleaning of the pipes a bit longer, with their biggest traffic drop of -58 percent at 10 pm. 

Late in the fourth quarter, Philadelphia Eagles defense made a huge play to secure Super Bowl LII victory, with Brandon Graham strip-sacking Tom Brady to help seal the 41-33 win. As soon as that occurred, Boston was already rushing back to Pornhub, where traffic surged +28 percent above normal in the hours following the defeat.

Based on Pornhub’s Google Analytics data, their statisticians found that U.S. male traffic data declined by -30 percent while U.S. female traffic data declined by -22 percent at the climax of the game. Female traffic remained low around 8 pm, which the statisticians believe women wanted to stick around to watch Justin Timberlake’s halftime show, meanwhile, men snuck off to watch porn. Postgame stats show men surged +10 percent at midnight, while females surged +7 percent at 2 am. Very sneaky…

The lull in web traffic during the Super Bowl, followed by a massive surge in porn by Americans, is part of a reoccurring pattern for Pornhub during sporting events. Interesting enough, Pornhub’s statisticians point out that New England Patriot fans jumped to the porn site first to ease the pain after their team’s loss. Sunday is the biggest day of the week for porn watching in America, eventually, at the end of the night, trends in google analytics indicated that no matter the team–American’s as a whole still made time to watch their favorite porn star. Does America have a porn addiction?

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-02-07/new-england-patriots-fans-turned-porn-after-stunning-super-bowl-loss

So let's look at America with our porn addiction, our drug addictions, our worshiping of materialism, our millions of abortions, our falling away from worshiping God on Sundays....would it surprise you if God decided to tear America down in righteous judgment?

"But Dennis, God would never tear down any nation in judgment...because he(she) is a God/Godess of love!  Wrath and judgment are a thing of the past...only done by the old God of the Old Testament."

Yeah.....you better re-read your Bible.

Romans 2
But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.

But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.

Then WHO will escape the wrath that God will one day bring to this unrepentant and perverse world?

1 Thessalonians 5
For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 5
Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!

Episcopal Church Says No More Masculine Pronouns for God

Even though Jesus calls God "Father" and the Lord's prayer starts with "Our Father, who art in heaven....", the Episcopals thought those words, spoken by Jesus, were offensive, intolerant, bigoted and sexist so they decided to change them.

Continuing its freefall to the theological left, the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Washington, D.C., voted last week to pass a resolution that puts an end to the use of masculine pronouns for God as it prepares to update its Book of Common Prayer.

Episcopalian delegates to the Diocese’s 123rd Convention swiftly passed the resolution in the nation’s capital so that “gendered language for God” will no longer be used.

“If revision of the Book of Common Prayer is authorized, to utilize expansive language for God from the rich sources of feminine, masculine and non-binary imagery for God found in Scripture and tradition and, when possible, to avoid the use of gendered pronouns for God,” the diocese’s resolution reads. “Over the centuries, our language and our understanding of God has continued to change and adapt.”

Another gospel

Episcopalian leadership no longer recognizes the inerrancy of Scripture, indicating that Bible manuscripts preserved for thousands of years are no longer aligned with the social gospel it preaches to its congregations.

“[Referring to God using masculine pronouns is to] limit our understanding of God,” the drafters of the resolution argued. “By expanding our language for God, we will expand our image of God and the nature of God.”

St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church Clergy Delegate Rev. Linda R. Calkins urged the delegates to press for more liberal changes.

Calkins, who serves in Laytonsville, Maryland, attempted to emasculate God using Genesis 17:1, where God tells Abraham, ‘I am El Shaddai.”

“[If Episcopalians] are going to be true to what El Shaddai means, it means God with breasts,” Calkins told delegates, according to The Institute on Religion & Democracy. “Having studied much feminist theology in my masters’ degrees, I wrote a thesis on liberation and freedom and non-equality in feminist theology and existential counseling.”

The liberal Episcopalian appears to use The Inclusive Bible as a reference – a loose interpretation of the Bible that many leftists use in order to turn Scripture upside-down and give it meaning that was never intended by God and the authors who He chose to write down His direct revelations.

“The Inclusive Bible was published in 2004 and written by a group called Priests for Equality, which … is a project of the Quixote Center in Brentwood, Maryland, and is a ‘grass-roots organization committed to creating a culture where sexism and exclusion are left behind and equality and full participation are the order of the day.’” The Christian Post (CP) reported. “In Genesis 17, the passage of Scripture where God makes the Covenant of Circumcision with Abram, the Hebrew ‘El Shaddai’ is traditionally translated as ‘God Almighty;’ the Inclusive Bible renders it ‘the breasted one.’”

Calkins is looking to give Episcopalians the last push they need to join the feminist movement and use LGBT lingo when addressing God.

“And I am still waiting for the Episcopal Church to come to the place where all people feel that they can speak God’s name,” the leftist church leader continued. “Many, many women that I have spoken with over my past almost 20 years in ordained ministry have felt that they could not be a part of any church because of the male image of God that is systemic and that is sustained throughout our liturgies. Many of us are waiting and need to hear God in our language, in our words and in our pronouns.”

Jesus said that one of the signs of the Last Days would be a great apostasy....a falling away from the faith.

Of course Jesus isn't referring to the spiritually dead people because they can't fall away from anything.  So we wonder if Jesus isn't talking about people who claim to be Christians, go to church, do good things for the poor, widows and orphans and maybe even read the manger story at Christmas...but they have thrown out the actual Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We further wonder if Jesus is prophesying about those exact people when they are resurrected at the Great White Throne Judgment and try to reason with Jesus their judge.

Matthew 7
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Of course we all know where evildoers go when Jesus refuses to acknowledge them.

Matthew 25
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Cover to Cover...Do You Really Believe?

Unless you have been sound asleep for the past 20 years, you are probably aware the the Bible is under a massive assault in this country.

"Did Jesus REALLY say He was the ONLY way to heaven?....there's no way that can be true!"

"Did Jesus really say He was God?....there's no way that can be true!...he was just a good man!"

"Was Adam really the first man on earth....because evolution, science and fossils say there is NO WAY that is possible!"

I ran across this article on Rapture Ready and wanted to share it with you because I thought it was really good.

Have you ever heard anyone say, “I believe the Bible from cover to cover?” Have you ever said that? I have. If we really do believe the Bible from cover to cover, does it show in our lives? I find myself coming up short so many times. Do you?

The Bible is not just a history lesson from Moses or a group of letters from Paul. It is not only biographies or a list of commands and prophetic sayings. Neither is it only a songbook or a long list of wise sayings. The Bible is so much more. It is the very Word of God.

“Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” (2 Peter 1:20-21)

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1)

“Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.” (2 Peter 3:15-16)

“He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.” (Luke 24:25-27)

The Bible, God’s Word, says we are saved by grace through faith plus nothing. Yet, entire denominations teach that something must be added to be saved. God says, “…that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.” (Galatians 5:2) Circumcision is just one example among a long list of works that “profit you nothing.”

The Bible, God’s Word, says we are to love the brethren. (Consider 1 John) How much honest-to-goodness, real, selfless agape love is actually demonstrated in most churches?

The Bible, God’s Word, says that Jesus will soon return and remove His Church before He pours out His wrath on this world, but you would never know it by observing most Christians. Is there anyone in the Church looking for the soon return of Jesus for His bride? Oh yes, there are many earnestly looking for that day while they serve Him on this earth, but how many? I cannot provide a number and would even be hesitant to guess at a percentage. However, I believe I would be safe in saying that most Christians don’t give it much thought.

If we really believed the Bible from cover to cover, don’t you think most of us would be living much differently than we do at present? By the way, I most certainly am not excluding myself from these soul searching questions.

The Bible tells us how to be saved and how we are kept by the power of God. It tells us how to live a life for Jesus Christ. It tells us about God and the eternal state. The Bible has been 100% accurate on hundreds of prophesies, of which some are being fulfilled today, in our lifetime. Over 7,000 promises are within its pages, and God always keeps His word.

Where is the sleeping Church? Where is the Bride, who should be looking daily for her Bridegroom’s return?

In my opinion, the worst thing that could happen to the Church is to live in an affluent society. We, in the United States of America, are cursed with this malady, because it has made so many of us lazy and apathetic.

There is nothing wrong in being affluent. There is nothing wrong with money. We can like and enjoy living in an affluent society and we can enjoy money, but let us as Christians never love either. The “niceties” of life are fine, but have they replaced the time we once spent with Christ in His Word? Our priority should always be Jesus, our Savior and Lord, over any and everything else. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case with many folks. How do I know that? Their lives broadcast it.

The churches throughout this great country of ours are spiritually sick. Many are spiritually dead. How many of our churches actually emphasize the Bible in all they teach and do? How many are just “playing church” as a little girl would play with her doll house? In too many of our churches the Bible has been replaced with man’s opinions and the social hour.

If all true believers really believe the Bible from cover to cover, then why do we sit back and not stand up for the Truth? Why do we rely on just a few to carry the load? Why have we allowed the filth of our society to worm its way into our homes, our lives and our churches? Why have we become comfortable with that which is not of God? Why do we give more credence to what Oprah has to say than Almighty God? How much time do we spend in the Bible and prayer?

No true Christian is perfect (mature), but we should always be maturing as Christians. We should be growing, but yet there is so much immaturity displayed among Christians. If we are growing in the Word, there will be more love for others, and less criticizing, jealousy and pride. Sad but true is the fact that gossip is just as prevalent in the local church as it is over the neighborhood fence. Why? There is no knowledge and acceptance of the Word.

The Bible is the holy Word of God, every page, from cover to cover. Ignorance of what is between those covers is a major problem with those who are called Christians. Since it takes a great deal of work to study the Bible, laziness has encouraged many to take the word of man and form their own opinions.

We know more about sports and celebrities than what is contained in the Bible. Now why is that? The answer is obvious. There is no interest in the Bible by many Christians. We want someone else to feed us our baby food while we pretend we are eating a steak.

If we really do believe the Bible, from cover to cover no less, maybe it is time we actually read it to verify what we say we believe.

Every true Christian should be a full-time disciple of Jesus. The first thing we reach for should be our Bible, not the remote or smart phone. The fruit of our lips should be, “Have you heard about Jesus?” The desire of our heart should be to know and follow Him above and beyond anything else. Until this is the case, I doubt we truly believe the Bible from cover to cover.

Powerful Quake Topples Buildings and Kills 2

Earthquakes in various places....that's another sign that Jesus told us to watch for.  Have you seen the large quakes increasing like birth pangs in the last decade?

Powerful Taiwan earthquake kills 2, topples buildings

A magnitude-6.4 earthquake rocked Taiwan on Tuesday, killing at least two people, injuring more than 100, toppling buildings and damaging roads, authorities said.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was centered 13 miles north-northeast of Hualien, a city of more than 100,000 on Taiwan's east coast. Photos and videos posted on social media show toppled and leaning high-rise buildings and badly damaged roads.

Multiple, strong aftershocks rattled the area, keeping residents and emergency officials on edge.

"Armed forces & government agencies are responding. Relief measures are underway. Stay safe," Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen tweeted.

Taiwan's CTI -TV reported at least five buildings collapsed in the city. The high-rise Marshal Hotel caved-in, and 116 people were evacuated from the 11-story building after the bottom three floors were crushed, firefighters told Taiwan's state-owned Central News Agency.

China Moves 300,000 Troops to North Korean Border

Wars and rumors of war.

That's one thing that Jesus said to watch for as this age of grace continues to rush towards its climax.

It's not the only thing, but it's one thing.

What is the world supposed to do with a demonically coerced leader who demands to be worshiped as a god?

Today we read that China is moving troops to his border.  They might be planning for a rush of North Koreans (illegal aliens) to come flooding in or they might think that a military confrontation is close.

China is reportedly moving missile defense batteries and troops closer to its border with North Korea, a potential sign that Beijing anticipates either a large refugee wave north or a military disturbance triggered by the belligerence of communist dictator Kim Jong-un.
The South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo cited Radio Free Asia (RFA) in a report Monday, stating that RFA had compiled evidence that China had “late last year deployed another missile defense battery at an armored division in Helong, west of Longjing in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture.”

The “North Korean source in China” speaking to RFA also noted that Pyongyang had observed the movement of 300,000 troops closer to the North Korean border and “missile defense batteries near North Korean reservoirs by the Apnok and Duman rivers.” The batteries would prevent the violent outpouring of those reservoirs into China in the event of an airstrike.

On Friday, China’s state-run People’s Daily newspaper reported that Beijing was also investing in establishing nuclear monitoring stations throughout the world, but especially near North Korea, to more rapidly gather information about a potential airstrike. While carefully noting that “detection is not targeted at any particular country,” the newspaper noted that the planned 11 nuclear monitoring stations “are responsible for detecting nuclear activities in neighboring countries, including North Korea.”

Another state newspaper, the Global Times, remarked on U.S. President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address last week that “risks of US military action are growing.” Trump singled North Korea out as the world’s most egregious human rights abuser, celebrating the plight of North Korean refugees who risked their lives to escape.

In December, Chosun Ilbo reported that China is not only using its military assets to prepare for a potential catastrophe in North Korea; the newspaper cited Japanese media that had revealed evidence of China’s building massive refugee camps near the North Korean border, some that could welcome up to half-a-million refugees. Officials reportedly ordered the construction of such camps in Jilin, the same city where state media published a citizens’ guide to surviving a nuclear war triggered by North Korea.

The state-run Jilin Daily published an article in December suggesting citizens “close their windows and doors during an emergency and immediately take a shower and wash out their mouths and ears after being exposed to radiation.” It mentioned potential regional tensions without blaming North Korea directly.

While state media remained subtle about government fears regarding North Korea, communist academics made clear in December that they believed Kim Jong-un’s regime could not be trusted to keep China out of a major regional war.

“North Korea is a time bomb,” remarked Professor Shi Yinhong. “We can only delay the explosion, hoping that by delaying it, a time will come to remove the detonator.”

Here;  http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2018/02/05/report-china-moves-300000-troops-closer-north-korean-border/

Yes, time is running out.  Once the trumpet blows and Jesus calls all Holy Spirit filled believers into the clouds and off of this world...Satan will put all his plans into full effect because the RESTRAINER that indwells in all believers on earth will be gone.

Do you know someone who doesn't know Jesus Christ as God and Savior?

Today might be a good day to look around you and find out who The Lord has put in your life that needs to hear the Truth before time runs out.

The Word "Mankind" is No Longer Politically Correct

In case you are keeping tabs in a notebook about what words you should not be using anymore....the leftist leader of Canada has just added another.

The word MANKIND should no longer be used.

Justin Trudeau corrects woman for using ‘mankind’: ‘Peoplekind’ is ‘more inclusive’

Mr. Trudeau was fielding questions at MacEwan University in Edmonton when a woman reportedly from the World Mission Society Church of God asked a question about policies regarding volunteering with religious organizations.

“We have received the Queen’s Award in the UK, we have received many awards throughout the whole world,” the woman said. “However, unfortunately in Canada, our volunteering as a religious charitable organization is extremely difficult, extremely. That’s why, in actuality, we cannot do free volunteering to help our neighbors in need as we truly desire.

“So that’s why we came here today to ask you to also look into the policies that religious charitable organizations have in our legislations so that it can also be changed, because maternal love is the love that’s going to change the future of mankind,” she continued. “So we’d like you to—

Mr. Trudeau interjected at that point, saying, “We like to say peoplekind, not necessarily mankind ‘cause it’s more inclusive.”

“There you go,” the woman responded approvingly. “Yes, thank you.”

Here;  https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/feb/6/justin-trudeau-corrects-woman-for-using-mankind-pe/

So remember....NO MORE MANKIND....from now on it's PEOPLEKIND.

And there is your leftist lunacy lesson for the day!

Can USA Borrow Another $1 Trillion This Year?

Did you know that in the last 100 years the US Dollar has lost 96% of it's value?

"Dennis, I don't understand what you are saying...can you put it into layman's terms?"

OK....if you had $1 in your pocket today, you could buy what $.04 cents would have bought you in 1918.

"Yeah....I still don't get it.  Who cares anyway?"

It's interesting because paper money always becomes worthless at some point.  For more evidence, look at what is happening in Venezuela.  They are just tossing their money out.

You can borrow money for a while...and put it all on a credit card.  It might be fun when you go on vacation or buy that new car with borrowed money but there comes a time when you simply go beyond the point of no return.

When will that be?

I have no idea.


It was another crazy news week, so it’s understandable if you missed a small but important announcement from the Treasury Department: The federal government is on track to borrow nearly $1 trillion this fiscal year — President Donald Trump‘s first full year in charge of the budget.

That’s almost double what the government borrowed in fiscal year 2017.

Here are the exact figures: The U.S. Treasury expects to borrow $955 billion this fiscal year, according to a documents released Wednesday. It’s the highest amount of borrowing in six years, and a big jump from the $519 billion the federal government borrowed last year.

Treasury mainly attributed the increase to the “fiscal outlook.” The Congressional Budget Office was more blunt. In a report this week, the CBO said tax receipts are going to be lower because of the new tax law.

Here;  https://www.infowars.com/government-set-to-borrow-nearly-1-trillion-this-year-an-84-percent-jump-from-last-year/

We might FEEL like "good times" are here again...but we never actually fixed anything from the financial implosion of 2008...we just borrowed our way out of it.

One day the piper will have to be paid.

"Dennis, who really cares if my kids have to pay for my car loans, Social Security payments, military deferred costs and Medicare....by the time they have to pay it all back...I'll be in the grave."

Hmmmmm......not sure that's such a great way to think about things.

Father-Daughter Dance Cancelled

So how bad would you feel if you were a little boy and your dad took your little sister to a Father-Daughter dance?  What the heck?  How come they don't have Father-Son dances?  What if you identify as "gender female" but are stuck in a little boy's body but really wanted to go to the Father-Daughter dance?

This could certainly lead to a triggering event...

So, as a society that is sensitive to events that trigger anyone....we better scrap these old-school events and file them away with Wahoo....the insensitive Cleveland Indians mascot.

PS 65 had the event scheduled for Friday, February 9, until the school’s parent-teacher association realized it would not comply with the Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Student Guidelines, which went into effect in March 2017.

The school’s PTA will reschedule a dance for kids and caregivers of any gender on March 2, according to the DOE.

“Father-daughter dances inherently leave people out. Not just because of transgender status, just life in general,” said Jared Fox, the DOE’s LGBT community liaison. “These can be really uncomfortable and triggering events.”

Some parents are outraged at the move.

“They’re trying to take away everything that everybody grew up on and has come to know, and I don’t think it’s fair or right,” Matthew West, a father of two daughters at the school, told The New York Post. “They should leave it the way it was — father-daughter, mother-son.”

“It’s not fair at all,” said Jose Garcia, who’s gone to past dances with his daughter. “I have nothing against no one, but I don’t think that it should affect the school, or the kids for that matter.”

“All this gender crap needs to just stop,” said mom Akaia Cameron, adding her third-grader had a “great time” with dad last year.

Donald Trump Jr. reacted on Twitter, writing, “This nonsense really needs to stop.”

We pretty much know that the leftists have lost their collective minds.  Soon it will be illegal to have a sign outside of any school that says, "Girls Fast Pitch Softball Sign Up This Week".

Why?

According to the Social Justice Warriors (SJW) there are many things that a sign like that could trigger in people who read it.

For instance:
What if you are a boy who wants to play fast pitch softball but can't because its for girls?
What if you can't pitch fast because your arm is deformed or you just lack talent in pitching?
What if you you have commitment problems and "signing up" for anything causes anxiety and triggers bad feelings?

You see friends, once the foundations are shaken....the entire building is at risk.
