Why Are Most People Cowards? Obedience And The Rise Of Authoritarianism – Academy Of Ideas

The 12-minute video in this post clearly explains a major problem in America, the struggle between those who conform to social Marxism (subscribing to the political left, bowing to political correctness, blindly accepting their propaganda as truth…) and those who are not conforming. I have been writing about this problem but have not been able to put it in terms that this video uses; it clearly presents the matter and provides a solution.
After listening to the video, you will recognize that the solution is emerging at great cost to those involved; hopefully, more will take up the cause after it is clarified for them.

The Subordinate Citizen [You] – Epoch Times Commentary

I recently led a group of about 100 citizens to tour Israel for nearly two weeks. Before returning to the United States, all participants had to indicate their vaccination status and take a COVID-19 test for reentry. Anxieties swept the group as Israeli testers swabbed them. Anyone testing positive would have to delay his or her return. That quarantine would entail spending thousands of dollars in finding scarce hotel accommodations, additional living expenses, and rebooked airline tickets—depending upon the length of the mandatory sequestration. Contrast the tens of thousands of foreign nationals now mustering to cross illegally into the United States again this summer. They follow the already 2 million who have entered the country unlawfully since Joe Biden became president. …Or do we scrutinize far more carefully U.S. citizens entering legally their own country than we do noncitizens crossing our borders unlawfully?

Progressive Prosecutor Movement Goes on Trial in California Primary – Epoch Times

Chesa Boudin, San Francisco’s chief prosecutor, faces a recall election in the primary. Polls suggest there’s a good chance he’ll lose…. In 2020, Salazar joined Boudin, Gascón, and Becton to form Prosecutors Alliance. The alliance follows the 21 principles for progressive prosecutors developed by Fair and Just Prosecution, Brennan Center for Justice, and Justice Collaborative, including ending cash bail, stopping prosecuting misdemeanors, holding police accountable, expunging criminal records, and ending the death penalty.

The Source Of Identity For LGBTQ+ And For Christians – Dr. Carl Trueman

The 4-minute excerpt in this post explains LGBTQ+ and Christian identity, from Carl Trueman’s book, The Rise and Triumph of The Modern Self. The following was excerpted from the book description: “Modern culture is obsessed with identity. Since the landmark Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court decision in 2015, sexual identity has dominated both public discourse and cultural trends—yet no historical phenomenon is its own cause. From Augustine to Marx, various views and perspectives have contributed to the modern understanding of the self. In this timely book, Carl Trueman analyzes the development of the sexual revolution as a symptom—rather than the cause—of the human search for identity.” [This post contains a link to chapter 1 for those who wish to explore the book.]

South Dakota Governor Ready to Sue Biden for School Lunch Policy Tie to Transgender Issues – Epoch Times

The Department of Agriculture (USDA) under the Biden administration announced on May 5 that all state and local agencies that receive federal funding for meals, more specifically including schools, must not discriminate based on sexual orientation and gender identity. In other words, schools that receive funding through the federal school lunch program could lose the funding if they discriminate against those identifying as a different gender or sexual orientation, such as not allowing biological males who identify as females to use women’s restrooms…. Noem blasted the Biden administration’s threat of withholding funding from vulnerable student populations in a press release on June 2: “President Biden is holding lunch money for poor Americans hostage in pursuit of his radical agenda.

A Culture That Celebrates Dismembering Children in the Womb Can’t Understand Why It’s Afflicted With Mass Shootings – American Faith

…Of course, Biden was only asking the “why” questions as a rhetorical maneuver so he could weigh in with his predictable answer: guns. The usual political and media suspects joined the chorus. The left claims firearms themselves are the cause, and anything short of their preferred policy prescription of so-called “universal background checks” and an “assault weapons ban” is “irresponsible and egregious.” But those who see through the left’s exploitation of this tragedy know there’s something much bigger going on here than a nefarious piece of hardware….
