Secession Continues to be a Topic

We have wondered for the past few years if the United States should break up before a Civil war ends up in our future.  Think about it...the mask-wearing, gender confused, abortion worshipping folks who want to have their public schools indoctrinate their small children into godless practices can all go on this side and all those who disagree with them can go on the other side.  Folks in many places are starting to wonder if this wouldn’t be a good idea before it’s too late.

Please note that this discussion could include a State like Texas leaving the United States but more likely it might be the states moving borders.  In Minnesota a Representative authored a proposal that Western counties in Minnesota could secede from the state and become part of South Dakota.

*****************

 Grassroots movements of Americans seeking a political divorce from their fellow citizens have recently gained traction amid deepening cultural rifts, according to multiple figures involved with secessionist organizations who spoke to Fox News Digital.

Such movements have emerged in every region of the U.S. and vary in their goals. Some aim for entire states to leave the union to form a new country, while others endeavor more simply that rural red counties secede from the domination of blue urban centers to form new states. All agree that the disagreements with their political opponents have grown intractable.

We're at a point, I think, where America is not necessarily in the balance, but the institution known as the United States is in the balance," Daniel Miller, president of the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM), told Fox News Digital.

Miller's organization endeavors to see Texas leave the union and revert to the sovereign republic it was from 1836, when it broke from Mexico, until it was annexed by the U.S. in 1845.

"People are beginning to ask themselves this question: ‘If their state was already a self-governing, independent nation, knowing everything they know about the federal government, would they vote to join the union today?' And I think many people are coming to the conclusion that the federal government is not really fit for purpose; there is a better way," Miller said.

AI (artificial intelligence) is Already Here

 Some of you are probably aware that incredible, human-like robots are already doing jobs that only a few years ago had to be done by humans.  But what happens when you put a human-like intelligence inside a robot who can move even better than humans?  What happens if AI figures out that humans are bad for planet earth and devises a plan to terminate the “problem”?  Please note that Hollywood has already preconditioned us for such a day with movies like Terminator and I-Robot.  Some experts are trying to sound the alarm that we need to dial this development back or it WILL lead to our destruction.  We believe this to be prophetic news because it’s just one other event that would fit nicely into that time, fast approaching, called the Great Tribulation.  Jesus said if he didn’t interrupt those events happening during this time that NO FLESH would survive.  Watch the video below to begin to understand what’s happening at a very alarming pace.

UN Asks Israel to Give Up Their Nukes

 Yesterday we wrote about how the UN continues to bash Israel.  Here is just one more example of how the UN gives Muslim nations a pass but harassers Israel at every possible chance.  The world hates Israel and Jews because the Prince of this World hates Israel and Jews.

Israel must dispose of all its nuclear weapons and place its nuclear sites under the International Atomic Energy Agency’s purview, the United Nations General Assembly’s First Committee stated in an initial 152-5 vote.

The five nations that opposed Friday’s resolution on the “risk of nuclear proliferation in the Middle East” were: Canada, Israel, Micronesia, Palau and the United States. Another 24 countries abstained, including European Union members.

The annual resolution submitted by Egypt to the UNGA in New York was sponsored by the Palestinian Authority and 19 counties including Bahrain, Jordan, Morocco and the United Arab Emirates.

The resolution largely targets Israel, which is believed to be one of only nine nations to possess nuclear weapons. Israel has never admitted to having such weapons.

The resolution notes that Israel is the only country in the Middle East and one of the few among the UN’s 193 member states, which has not signed the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Treaty (NPT).

Iran, which is a signatory to the treaty, is believed to be on the path to developing nuclear weapons. Despite this, the resolution did not mention Iran.

The resolution reaffirmed “the importance of Israel’s accession to the NPT and placement of all its nuclear facilities under comprehensive international atomic Energy Nancy safeguards, in realizing the goal of universal adherence to the Treaty in the Middle East.”

It further called on Israel “to accede to the Treaty without further delay, not to develop, produce, test or otherwise acquire nuclear weapons, to renounce possession of nuclear weapons and to place all its unsafe guarded nuclear facilities under the full scope of Agency safeguards as an important confidence-building measure among all States of the region and as a step toward enhancing peace and security.”

Here;  Israel must get rid of its nuclear weapons, UNGA majority decides - The Jerusalem Post (jpost.com)

Of course you can see that the United States always refrains from voting on these anti-Israel resolutions which pretty much makes them non-binding.  So God continues to use the USA to protect Israel.

Of course we also know that God will keep America around as long as we suit his purpose.  But soon and very soon, God will begin to supernaturally care for His client nation and bride, Israel.  At which point America could be allowed to implode under the weight of our very nasty sins and rejection of the Son.

We pray that the rapture is what collapse America but we can't say that with 100% certainty.  It think Christ followers need to keep looking up for our blessed hope, but also need to prepare to live in Babylon, Sodom and Gomorrah for a while longer.  

Hat tip to Tom F.

Are we Running Out of Normal?

 It's just gotten so bizarre so quickly!  It all came like a flood!  Suddenly we've reached a place where people are protesting free speech on college campuses and in social media.  How is that possible in America that was founded on free speech?  

How about the fact that a 14 year old boy wanted to get a tattoo he wouldn't be allowed to get one in any state in America.  Why?  Because the states have all recognized that you don't let little kids make permanent decisions...BUT...if that same boy wanted to have his penis cut off and have a vagina carved out of his crotch, then millions of Americans say, "For sure!"

How about all these crazy pronouns that people are coming up with.  Why should the rest of us have to be forced to learn their lunatic language of THEY/THEM, ZEM/ZIR?  And how many genders are the colleges listing on their student applications?

Will we ever get back to normal?  Don't hold your breath. 

In spite of the long wait, I'm convinced that Jesus' appearing is imminent because of the myriad of signs telling us that the Tribulation period is right on our doorstep.

I have compiled a list of 12 signs that tell us we are rapidly running out of normal.

If you are weary of waiting and long for the day when you will meet Jesus in the air, I am writing to encourage you; He's coming soon.

If you doubt that the Rapture will happen anytime soon, please take some time to review the following points:

1. ISRAEL'S MIRACULOUS REBIRTH AS A NATION

Did you know that Isaac Newton predicted that Israel would reappear as a nation? Based on his in-depth study of the books of Daniel and Revelation, he made that startling prediction over 250 years before it happened.

2. THIRD TEMPLE FEVER

Scripture tells us that the antichrist will defile a still future Jewish temple (Daniel 9:27; Matthew 24:15; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). In a recent article, The Biblical Necessity of a Third Jewish Temple, I demonstrate why the building of the third Jewish temple is a necessity for the fulfillment of biblical prophecy.

3. KICKING AND READY

In October, I wrote Globalism, War, Economic Turmoil, Devaluing Human Life -- The Day of The Lord Is Looming. In it, I provided evidence for just how close the world is to the conditions described in Revelation 6:1-8. These verses describe what's commonly referred to as the "four riders of the Apocalypse." They are kicking in their stall, ready to start their trek across the planet.

4. DIGITAL CURRENCY

If people can buy and sell goods on a cash basis, it would be impossible for the antichrist to control commerce in the way that Revelation 13:16-18 predicts.

5. DIGITAL HEALTH PASSPORTS

At the November 2022 meeting of G20 nations in Indonesia, leaders of the largest economies in the world agreed to work together to implement a "digital health passport" that will begin by tracking everyone's vaccine status and expand from there.

6. MARK OF THE BEAST TECHNOLOGY

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, along with the development of gigantic computer databases, also makes today unique from any other previous time in history.

7. IS IT REALLY HUMAN?

How will the coming man of lawlessness exercise the complete control over the earth's population such as we see in Revelation 13 and elsewhere in Scripture? The answer is transhumanism. 

8. THE SOON ARRIVAL OF ONE-WORLD GOVERNANCE

The books of Daniel and Revelation predict that in the last days a worldwide government will exist and that for a short time, the antichrist will rule over it (Daniel 7:23-25 8:18-26; Revelation 13:1-18).

9. THE WORSHIP OF CREATION RATHER THAN THE CREATOR

In the book of Revelation, we see the presence of a one-world religion under the leadership of the false prophet. 

10. WHEN THE WORLD WOBBLES

Since 2001, the earth's magnetic north pole has been moving. An article on the Forbes Magazine website, Earth's Magnetic North Pole Is Shifting Dramatically From A Powerful Tug Of War, discussed how this shift has speeded up in recent years. 

Why do I include this in the list of 12 signs? It's because of warnings of what happens when the pole shift may reach forty degrees. That's the point at which the north and south poles will swap places. 

11. YOU DON'T REALLY BELIEVE THAT DO YOU?

2 Peter 3:2-4 says that scoffers will arise in the "last days" that will mock our hope in Jesus' soon return. Jude 17-18 also warns of "scoffers" that will come in the last days that will ridicule our hope.

12. PERILOUS TIMES ON STERIODS ARE HERE

We live during a time of perilous times on steroids. While the characteristics of this that Paul lists in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 have always been evident in some ways since the time he wrote, they now define our world just as the apostle said they would in the last days.

Here;  12 Signs The World Is Running Out Of Normal (prophecynewswatch.com)

In discussions with other believing friends we are all concluding that "the things of this world are growing strangely dim."  Things aren't quite as shiny as they once were.  We can see where this whole disaster is going when the entire world is led by godless leaders, political and spiritual.  I don't know about you but I'm kind of getting eager to go to the party that Jesus has been planning and then return to a remade earth to rule and reign with him for 1000 years!  Satan will be bound and Jesus will rule the humans still in their un-glorified bodies, with a rod of iron.  Plus we will get to examine God's creation up close like we never have!  Pet a hippo, cuddle with a cobra or brush a wolf even!

Trans People Leaving Red States

 You really do need to read this entire article.  What a confused, miserable, suicidal bunch of people!  Of course the mom is a school counselor and maybe 3 out of 3 of her kids are transgender?  Right!  More likely that mom was grooming them since they were young to be confused so she could revel in the attention for “support trans kids!”movement.

Also, we have wondered how the nation could divide physically rather than be at each other’s throats continually.  Maybe this will give us an idea?  Trans, queers, godless, gay folks might flee the Red states and then those of us conservatives in Blue states might need to relocate?  We do know that this nation divided will not stand much longer unless God sustains it for His purposes.

*****************

They had moved to the Dallas suburb from the tiny town of Malakoff, Texas, back in 2016. Jackson landed a job she liked as a lead counselor for the Aubrey Independent School District. Carrie said her 17-year-old high school junior, Cass, who is transgender, was thriving.

On the night of Feb. 22. Carrie was sitting in bed, scrolling through her Facebook feed, and spotted a news article posted by another mother. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott had issued a directive requiring the state’s Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate all parents with medically transitioning kids, enclosing an opinion from fellow Republican, Attorney General Ken Paxton, to back it up. These parents could be brought up on charges of child abuse — and people who worked with trans kids could be, too, if they didn’t report such families to state authorities.

Just weeks later, the Jacksons were en route to Cumberland, a small city near the Allegheny mountains in western Maryland, where Cass’ older sibling lived. Cass’ sibling, Bug, is also transgender and would provide a new home for Cass, their mother and their other sister. Unemployed and without a plan, the family felt their only option was to flee a state they had never intended to leave. They were leaving their home.

The Jacksons are not the only family that left Texas since Abbott’s directive — they’re part of a larger exodus of families with trans children from states that have implemented laws and policies clamping down on their access to health care, according to POLITICO interviews with more than a dozen transgender teens and adults and their family members.

The fight over access to gender-affirming medical care for trans youths — like the fight over abortion rights and other issues at the intersection of health, politics, gender, culture and race — is impacting where Americans want to live, work and raise families. And it’s grown particularly acute over the past year, as conservative governors and legislators have restricted access to medical care for gender dysphoria, a condition that stems from one’s lived experience of gender being different from the sex assigned at birth.

Pastor Ridiculed For Suggesting Jesus Could Return

So this article is from a secular newspaper that makes it’s money by reporting who has gotten a boob job, which celeb has cheated on whom and what some actress thinks is the best beach. But even they took time out of their infotainment schedule to report on a pastor who claims that people being offended over everything is another sign that Jesus is coming back.  Notice the mocking tone.  I would suggest that this article by a raunchy paper mocking the return of the King is just one more sign that we shouldn’t be surprised if Jesus blew the trumpet soon.  Remember what Peter said about mockers in the Last Days?  

***********************

A Christian pastor has claimed people being offended "everywhere you go" is a sign the "end of time" is coming.

Pastor Tom Hughes, who is known for spreading the word of his outlandish end-of-time theories on his YouTube channel, recently shared a 10-minute long video entitled "The collapse of everything."

In the video, which has gained more than 84,000 views, he delved into some of the supposed signs that Jesus is returning to Earth and claimed they would grow in intensity like "in childbirth" as we approach "the end".

Many of the signs seemed to be what doomsday believers would expect, like natural disasters and war, but adding to the list with a quote from the Bible, he claims everyone will be offended too.

Pastor Tom read a quote from Matthew 24:7-10 which said: "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

"And there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

"All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

"And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another."

To which, he replied: "Man, you're talking about being offended, you're thinking of the words of Jesus where many will be offended.

"It seems like everywhere you go, everybody is offended. Jesus is telling us that it's actually going to get worse."

 His followers took to the comments to thank him for his warning as they too believe the end is nigh. 

One user wrote: "There is no stopping this End Times destruction of the US and the world! Jesus is coming for His church. Choose this day whom you will serve! Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus!"

United Nations Agrees to Commemorate Nakba Day

 The day after Israel declared independence in May 1948, the Arab armies surrounding her decided to attack and "throw all the Jews into the sea!"  They called all the Arabs living in the new Israeli state and said, "Vacate your homes!  Go on vacation while we kill all the Jews!  Once we are done you can come back home and inhabit all the homes of the dead Jews!  Have a great day!  Allah akbar!"

But God had other plans.

The Jews told their Arab neighbors, "Don't leave!  Stay here!  You have a place in our new country!"  But the Arabs decided to leave.  They thought for sure that the 5 Arab armies would do as they planned and kill all the Jews.

But God had other plans.

So those Arabs become "refugees" when Israel ended up kicking the butts of all their Arab attackers.  75 years later they are still "refugees."  Today they are called the Palestinians.

About 10 years later the the United Nations was formed.  They didn't side with the truth of the matter but instead decided to punish Israel for defending itself.  So for the last 65 years they have been demanding that Israel give a separate state for these Palestinians to return to.

Now today we read that the United Nations is doubling down on it's belief that the day the Jews did something wrong in defending themselves.  It's voting to commemorate Nakba Day which translates "Catastrophe Day" in Arabic. 

The UN General Assembly voted Wednesday afternoon in favor of holding a commemorative event in honor of the 75th “Nakba Day,” the Palestinian name for Israel’s establishment, which translates to “catastrophe.”

The vote was 90-30, with 47 abstentions. The United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom were among those who opposed the move. Most of the European Union also rejected the motion, save for Cyprus which supported the measure.

Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan tweeted that the UN in "passing such an extreme and baseless resolution, the UN is only helping to perpetuate the conflict."

In a UN General Assembly plenum debate prior to the vote, Erdan called for the UN to “stop ignoring the Jewish Nakba,” referring to the 750,000 Jews expelled from Arab and Muslim countries in the aftermath of Israel’s establishment.

“What would you say if the international community celebrated the establishment of your country as a disaster? What a disgrace,” Erdan said.

Erdan showed the General Assembly a front page of The New York Times from May 16, 1948, with a top headline stating: "Jews in grave danger in all Moslem lands."

The ambassador described the history of that period, in which the UN voted on November 29, 1947 in favor of partition of the British Mandate into Jewish and Arab states, which the Jews accepted and the Arabs did not, opting instead to declare war on the fledgling State of Israel the following year.

Here;  UN to mark ‘Nakba Day’ - Israel’s establishment as catastrophe - Israel News - The Jerusalem Post (jpost.com)

And so it continues.  The world will continue to turn against Israel as the Great Tribulation draws closer.  When the Ezekiel 38 coalition of Russia, Iran and Turkey gathers to destroy Israel, we are guessing that the United Nations will stand by and have nothing to say.

But, of course, God will have other plans.

Space War Would Destroy “Life as we Know it”

 It seems with each passing day we see more evidence of events that will be happening during the Great Tribulation.  If Russia and China have figured out how to destroy our satellites in space, our cell phones, internet, banking, communications and shopping on Amazon would instantly cease.  Pretty sure that eating, drinking, and planning weddings would become problematic to say the least.  And yes, the technology of our enemies could make it a reality.  Where is our hope for tomorrow?  Only in Jesus.

********************

It would no longer be “life as we know it” if a space war destroyed the satellites that the world now relies on, space commanders have warned, and China and Russia have demonstrated that they’re capable of doing just that.

Senior military leaders from the US and Canada are in Sydney for an Australian Strategic Policy Institute conference on space as the new frontier in “commerce, industry, competition and war”. They have discussed the importance of working with allies, including Australia, to counter the threats posed by space war.

Lt Gen Nina Armagno, staff director of the US Space Force, said Russia’s destruction of one of their own satellites last year was a “stunning display”.

“We’re interpreting that … as a message and demonstration of capability,” she said.

Brigadier general Michael Adamson, commander at 3 Canadian SpaceDivision (Canada’s space force), said on behalf of Canada: “No way … holy crap, this is a topsy turvy world, you can’t do that.”

“Same with us,” Armagno said.

She said China was openly documenting and describing its demonstrations of power in space. Asked what the end game could be, she said, “Life as we know it would no longer be as we know it.”

Attacks on satellites can take out GPS systems, banking systems, power grids, first responders’ communications, and impact on military operations, they said.

“I don’t want to be dramatic,” Armagno said. “What does war in space look like? We probably won’t see it with our naked eye but we will definitely feel the consequences from the moment it begins.”

Keep an Eye on WEF, Klaus Schwab and Yuval Noah Harari

 I'm going to guess that most of my readers have heard about the World Economic Forum led by Klaus Schwab.  There are many national leaders who completed his training as younger people and are now presidents of France and Prime Minister of Canada and many other positions of leadership.

If you listened to Jan Markell this past weekend you would also be familiar with Yuval Harari.  He has said some pretty amazing anti-God statements and serves as the right-hand man of Klaus Schwab.

Many folks believe that what the WEF are trying to do with the Great Reset and global population control WILL HAPPEN during the Great Tribulation.  The Beast System is everything they are pushing for.

BLASPHEMY!: God is dead, according to the World Economic Forum, who have also declared that “Jesus is fake news,” and that WEF leaders have “acquired divine powers” to rule over humanity.

According to the WEF, a new one world religion has arrived and it unites all of humanity in worshipping at the altar of climate science, techno-communism and eugenics.

If you find it hard to believe Klaus Schwab’s WEF would go this far, you clearly haven’t been paying attention to developments in recent times.

Klaus Schwab’s right hand man Yuval Noah Harari has announced that the WEF has been so successful in its plans that it is “acquiring divine powers” of “creation and destruction.” The blasphemy doesn’t stop there. Harari also promises the WEF will turn humans into gods.

The WEF is also increasingly hostile to Christianity and major religions. If you read between the lines just a little, it’s clear the WEF is consciously attempting to supplant Jesus

According to the WEF, Jesus is fake news, God is dead, and you do not have a soul. You are a “hackable animal” who does not have the capacity for free will.

The World Economic Forum has spent decades quietly infiltrating democratically elected governments, penetrating cabinets and wielding an outsized influence on the world from the corridors of Schwab’s Swiss hideout in Davos.

These tyrants have now become arrogant and sure of their own success. They are no longer hiding in the shadows and pulling puppet strings from behind the curtain.

According to Schwab, it is his role to shape the “transformation” of the world in the current period. And unsurprisingly he admires the Chinese system of state control authoritarianism.

Here;  https://newspunch.com/klaus-schwab-god-is-dead-and-the-wef-is-acquiring-divine-powers/amp/

These folks are sounding an awful lot like what the Antichrist will say when he is revealed.  Schwab is now 80 years old and believes the world is now within striking distance of having all of his dreams fulfilled.  He may push really hard to have this all go down during his lifetime so he can see the fruits of his labors.  As we have already said, many prophecy watchers believe that WEF IS THE BEAST SYSTEM that will take over during the Great Tribulation.

One thing FOR SURE....the world has NEVER seen anything like what we are seeing transpire.  Just imagine that God thought us worthy to very possibly be around to hear the trumpet blow!  We could be that one generation that never dies but goes right from this body into our glorified bodies in the twinkling of an eye! 

Come Lord Jesus!  We can see where this is all going.

Most Young Folks Think Marriage is a Stupid Idea

 Not too many years ago, young women would hold onto their virginity and save it for their husband.  Men might be less likely to wait for marriage but 100% of men believed that marriage was one man plus one woman for life.  Also, not so long ago most Americans had some type of respect and/or fear for the God of the Bible.  They might not know Him but they understood there would be some kind of future judgment.

Today things are now radically different.  Little boys and little girls are exposed to porn at a very young age and I don't just mean one dirty magazine from 1967, I'm talking about the most vile and most graphic porn you could imagine.  And if you can't imagine, then the porn site will imagine for you.  Most young women today understand that if they are going to be popular with the boys they better get good at sex and recreating some porn scenes early on.

Many young men are content to live in their mom's basement playing video games and then swipe right on a hook-up app and go have casual sex.  No strings, no commitments.  If the sex is good and they seem to get along they might one day try moving in with each other.

Does this sound like a recipe for a successful society?  Can anyone turn it around?  Do young men and women ever dream of having one soul-mate/spouse for life?

The Marriage Strengthening Research & Dissemination Center (or MAST Center) recently released a new report illustrating the vast scale of disillusionment regarding the institution of marriage in the eyes of America's young people. Among other findings, the study found that almost 80% of teenagers (categorized as 15 to 19-year-olds) expect to cohabit before marriage, with 95% saying that they expect to marry someday.

In an article analyzing the report, Alysse ElHage of the Institute for Family Studies highlighted some particularly revealing comments from teenagers about their thoughts on marriage.

A teen from Texas reflected:

I feel like nowadays it's not really as important to get married, especially for people of my age and generation. The reason being is that we are being taught by our parents and educators that our education should come first in order to have a stable life financially and career wise, which causes many people to neglect the thought of marriage. Not only that, but society has also made marriage seem like it should be like the least important thing for a person to think about.

Another student from North Carolina wrote:

Asking if I want to get married someday is a poor question in my opinion. Marriage is just a title, a contract; it only begins to matter once love is in the picture. … I think it’s acceptable to live with a romantic partner without having plans to get married.

These findings and quotes combine for a perfect encapsulation of our current cultural view of relationships and marriage: living together is expected, while marriage is simultaneously a throwaway relic from prehistoric times but also a mythical ideal. As has become customary in our modern society, confusion and disillusionment now reign supreme.

How did we get to a cultural place where the concept of marriage has become so mocked and diluted? While many factors are at play here, arguably the most important factor is the societal loss of knowledge of why God created marriage for the human race, a covenantal relationship instituted at the very beginning of creation: "He who made them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one'? So they are no longer two but one. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder" (Matthew 19:4-6).

The extent to which teens are without solid foundational beliefs has been documented by the Barna Group, which found that about 4% of Generation Z has a biblical worldview. They also note that this number is the lowest of the three previous generations (10% of Boomers, 7% of Generation X, and 6% of Millennials).

The specific loss of a Christian understanding of marriage is key here. For the secular culture, marriage has simply become the formalization of a relationship of two people who are already living together. As alluded to in the two teen quotes above, marriage is seen as a foolish and unimportant idea, unless it has been thoroughly road tested by two people who have shacked up together to see how it goes, and then maybe done as a second thought if it happens to suit their fancy.

The first problem with this hypothesis is that it doesn't work. Studies have consistently shown that couples who cohabitate before getting married divorce at higher rates than those who wait until marriage to move in together. 

The reasons for this have been intensely debated amongst university elites, but for believers, the reason is clear: When God's laws against premarital sex are broken and ignored, the results are an absolute disaster. Since the sexual revolution began in the 1960s (when premarital sex began to become widely culturally accepted), the rates of divorce, abortion, and sexually transmitted diseases skyrocketed.

Still, it's quite telling that fully 95% of teenagers say they want to get married someday. Despite how profoundly our society has cheapened marriage and sex, our souls still yearn for God's design for humankind at the deepest level. 

Here;  American Teens Vast Disillusionment With Marriage - Most Expect To Cohabitate (prophecynewswatch.com)

Amazing!  Some 95% still say they want to get married!  But to whom or what or how many do they want to be married?  And for how long do they want to be married?  Til death parts them or until they aren't "happy" anymore?

The traditional family appears to be passing away in America.  And I'm quite convinces society won't survive it.

A “Woke” US Military Would be a Disaster

 While our enemies fully understand that a man and a woman are very different, the Democrats running America have convinced themselves that a military filled with queers, gays and transgenders would be a wonderful goal to aspire to.  Anyone who speaks out against this delusional idea will be silenced while their goals are being achieved.  Can you imagine if the beaches of Normandy had been stormed by boatloads of these confused genders?  The world would have been lost to a Nazi army filled with strong men, each capable of beating up 4-5 wanna-be women at a time.

Sex Reassignment Procedures

Rubio and Roy pointed out that the U.S. military has historically not accepted candidates who do not meet certain physical and mental criteria, and some of the disqualifying conditions include allergies to peanuts or gluten, learning disorders, acute depression or anxiety, and skin diseases like eczema and psoriasis.

“People cannot even enlist with Invisalign or braces until they are removed,” the report states. However, recent developments have the military forces “proudly promoting and celebrating sex reassignment procedures, which can have months-long recovery periods, with complete recovery taking ‘up to one year’ for some procedures.”

Former President Barack Obama’s Defense Department in 2016 allowed unrestricted access to military service by transgender people. The GOP report argues that people with gender dysphoria suffer from mental health issues and are more likely to experience severe anxiety and poor mental health encounters, and “are eight times more likely to commit suicide.”

The report cites Thomas Spoehr of The Heritage Foundation, who said that because people with gender dysphoria are more prone to mental health issues, other service personnel “will be reluctant to rely on them” because of these issues, which would result in a section of “non-deployable service members.” This could also lead to resentment within the ranks as some members will never be “called upon to deploy,” the report states.

The Biden administration allows members to “transition” while on active duty, and allows individuals to use shower and bathroom facilities of their choosing. Military members are now being trained in the use of appropriate pronouns and “when to recommend their subordinates consider gender reassignment surgery,” said the report.

The report concluded with the Afghanistan withdrawal, which resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. service members. The United States also left behind billions of dollars’ worth of equipment, including 2,000 armored vehicles and up to 40 aircraft, which the Taliban seized and paraded.

“No one faced consequences. Rather, the Biden Administration continued undermining the military with woke ideology and ignored its failure. The only service member who received a reprimand from the Afghanistan debacle was a lieutenant colonel who criticized the way the withdrawal was executed,” the report stated.

The GOP report accused the administration of hypocrisy for the lieutenant colonel’s treatment when compared to a junior medic in uniform who used the Chinese messaging app TikTok to criticize the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

The medic asks in the video, “How am I supposed to swear to support and defend the Constitution and a country that treats its women like second-class citizens,” adding “I will not rest, and I will not be silent, because this is an attack on women in this country.”

The report states that the medic has not received any disciplinary action for her remarks.

The report concluded with the Afghanistan withdrawal, which resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. service members. The United States also left behind billions of dollars’ worth of equipment, including 2,000 armored vehicles and up to 40 aircraft, which the Taliban seized and paraded.

“No one faced consequences. Rather, the Biden Administration continued undermining the military with woke ideology and ignored its failure.
