Report: 18,335 Schools Have Policies to Hide Kids’ Trans Identity from Parents – Protestia

More than 1000 school districts in the United States representing 18,335 schools and 10,712,558 students have enacted policies requesting that teachers conceal students’ transgender status from their parents, according to a report from Parents Defending Education.

Parents Defending Education provides a list of school districts by state that have “Transgender/Gender Nonconforming Policies that openly state that district personnel can or should keep a student’s transgender status hidden from parents.

One example would be California’s Alhambra Unified School district, which states:

Likewise Utah’s Box Elder School District warns:

We’d encourage every parent to see if their school is on the list. If so, pull them out or begin to raise a ruckus unlike anything they’ve ever experienced.

Escaping the Grip of Worldliness | The Fight of Faith

Escaping the Grip of Worldliness

BibleFaithChristianJesusTheology5+

Worldliness is the besetting sin of most professing Christians! It is certain that very many of them are as eager in the pursuit of wealth as the heathen. This accounts for the little influence of the Word of God upon them. The seed is good, but the soil is bad! And the noxious weeds of worldliness, by their speedy and incessant growth, keep down the feebler plants of piety in the soul.

“The cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lust for other things, choke the Word, and it becomes unfruitful.” Mark 4:19

But please note that it is not the overt act of covetousness or creature-dependence that is condemned, but the inward disposition of the mind and heart. The supreme delight of mind that arises from the possession of wealth, is itself a denial of the sufficiency of Christ to be our desired portion and treasure.

O, brethren, enter into your own bosoms, and judge yourselves in relation to this matter. Inquire whether Christ has such a full possession of your hearts, as to render all earthly things relatively vain, empty, and worthless, in your estimation. If not, then how can you call Christ your desired portion, or imagine that you have formed a proper estimate of the immeasurable blessings of salvation? Know assuredly, that if you have proper views of Christ, you will regard Him as your Pearl of Great Price! Can you sincerely say from your inmost soul,

“Whom have I in Heaven but You?
 And earth has nothing I desire besides You.
 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength
 of my heart and my portion forever!” Psalm 73:25-26

A true profession of Christ does not consist in a mere assent to some particular truths of Scripture, but in a practical and experimental sense of His love to us, overpowering all inferior desires.

To love the Lord Jesus, to cleave to Him with full purpose of heart, to count him as “all our salvation and all our desire,” this is what He requires. This is also what our blessed Savior deserves from each of His redeemed people.

If we do not despise worldly trifles, when standing in competition with His will, His presence, and His glory, then He shall regard us as denying Him, and we must expect to be denied by Him in the judgment day!

Would a man who had scraped together a great heap of dust, rejoice because he had gathered so much dust? Surely not! In the same way, does not the foolish satisfaction which a man feels from the attainment of riches, show that he has formed an erroneous estimate of their value?

God has called Himself “the Fountain of living waters,” and has pronounced all idols to be “broken cisterns that will hold no water.” Just so, an undue regard to wealth denies that God is the ultimate source of happiness, and that He is all-sufficient for our real happiness. See to it then, brethren, that it is not thus with you!

If you are disposed to ask, “Who will show me any good?” Then learn immediately to add: “Lord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon me, and that shall fill my heart with greater joy than any amount of wealth could ever do!”

For as, on the one hand, “A man’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things that he possesses.” So, on the other hand, “In God’s favor is life, and His loving-kindness is better than life itself!”

-Charles Simeon

EXCLUSIVE: Biden Admin Preparing to Bring Back FULL Covid Restrictions, Rollout to Begin Mid-September

Whistleblowers from the TSA and Border Patrol have raised the alarm to Infowars that the Biden administration is setting the stage for full Covid lockdowns that will begin with incremental restrictions like masking TSA employees in mid-September.

The first source, a high-level TSA official confirmed and known to Infowars, reached out to Infowars and cited a Tuesday meeting in which TSA managers were told new memorandums & policies were being completed that would reimplement masking, starting with TSA & airport employees as early as mid-September.

The TSA official also said next week they will receive new guidelines on how the policy will escalate: by mid-October, mask-wearing will be required by pilots, flight staff, passengers, and airport patrons.

After hearing from the TSA manager, Infowars reached out to our trusted Border Patrol source who is also a manager. This source confirmed the same directives were being given to Border Patrol.

Hawaiian Electric neglected wildfire risk to focus on green energy | WINTERY KNIGHT

I was reading an interesting article from J. Warner Wallace last week that he wrote for Townhall. In the article, he said that the real driver behind people turning away from truth, the big questions, religion in general, etc. was because of a desire for autonomy. People have enormous confidence about their desires, believing that following their desires is the surest way to reach happiness. But is it true?

In blue states, people consistently vote for leaders who make them feel good. Voters want to feel good, and they want to look good to other people – virtue signaling. And they are sure that feeling good and looking good will produce good results.

Hawaii is one of the bluest states in the country. There, the people consistently vote for policies that are much more progressive than the policies of those terrible red states. Policies like re-making the power grid to be driven by renewable green energy sources.

Here’s what happened next, as reported by Daily Wire:

Hawaiian Electric is under scrutiny for allegedly slow-walking modernization and repairs of its electrical grid before the fire that ripped through the island of Maui last week.

Hawaiian Electric is Hawaii’s principle electric utility, providing power to roughly 95% of the state. Financial disclosures and reports show the company worried about the state of its electrical grid, and specifically the risk of wildfires, but devoted resources to building out the utility’s green energy network with limited action to mitigate fire risk, according to The Wall Street Journal.

In 2015, the Hawaii State Legislature amended the State’s Renewable Portfolio Standards to establish the nation’s first goal of 100% renewable energy:

The focus on Hawaii’s energy priorities over the past decade has been dominated by its push for green energy. The state enacted a first-in-the-country law in 2015 mandating that Hawaii’s grid be powered by 100% renewable energy by 2045.

In 2021, regulators finished a top-to-bottom restructuring of the regulatory framework to guide that transition, offering Hawaiian Electric large bonuses for finishing green energy projects on time, and threatening the utility with fines if it missed deadlines.

[…]“You have to look at the scope and scale of the transformation within [Hawaiian Electric] that was occurring throughout the system,” Mina Morita, the 2011-2015 chair of the state utilities commission, told WSJ. “While there was concern for wildfire risk, politically the focus was on electricity generation.”

The government, which was elected by the people, mandated that the energy company would make going green their highest priority. Politically, the focus was on global warming alarmism. Not on lowering electricity prices for consumers. And not on protecting taxpayers from wild fires.

I had a quick look on LinkedIn at the resume of the CEO of the energy company, and she had no earned degrees in science, engineering or technology. She has a bachelors degree in accounting. Good degree, but not for the top job in energy production. Why is she the CEO of an energy production company? Will she face consequences for her failure to perform?

Does science contradict the biblical doctrine of creation? || Ligonier Ministries

NICHOLS: We first have to ask: What do you mean by science? If science is understanding the natural world, then it does not contradict the biblical doctrine of creation. This is the world God made, and the world God made will not be in contradiction to what God’s Word declares it to be.

Some will say that science can’t answer questions of origins, or science points to a Big Bang, or that when talking about creation you’ve moved beyond science and now you’re in the realm of faith. I don’t think that is helpful because what we see in science leads us to understand God. We see that this world functions according to laws. One of those laws is the law of cause and effect. It’s there. Nothing comes from nothing. Every effect has a cause.

Later, I’m going to go get something to eat. When I have food put in front of me, will I think, “Ah, it just popped into existence”? No one thinks that way. Rather, there was a chef, behind him was a farmer, and through that process the food made it to my table, and I ate it. Every effect has a cause.

When we look at this world, it is clearly an effect. And so, what do we say? It comes from nothing? That’s absurd. That’s not scientific. That’s not rational. That’s not reasonable. Science teaches us that every effect has a cause, and the Bible says, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” So, we have this natural law of cause and effect that is at work and in concert with Scripture.

Sometimes I think we’re afraid, as if when someone says “science” we’re supposed to run away. I don’t think we have to do that as Christians. Understand this: there is not the world of science and the world God made; it’s one world. As Christians, we have reasons for our faith. We have reasons to know that the Bible is a reliable book in what it teaches us about who God is, who Jesus is, who we are, and what this world is all about.

BINGHAM: All truth is God’s truth.

NICHOLS: Augustine said that. Well, it gets attributed to Augustine, but it could have been before him. Regardless, all truth is God’s truth. There is not Christian truth and then some other kind of truth separate from it.

Is There Meat Glue In Your Food?

Meat Glue—Pink Slime’s Far More Sickening Sibling

Back in 2012, an ABC news lead story about Pink Slime (called in the industry by the more appetizing name, “finely textured beef”) struck a chord of disgust in the meat-eating public.

Petitions were formed to get the product out of the school lunch program, and celebrity chef Jamie Oliver conducted pink slime demos where he put beef scraps in a washing machine and then soaked them in ammonia and water.

Right before the slime hit the fan, however, ABC news affiliates spilled the beans about another underground meat practice. It was the use of an enzyme called transglutaminase, or, as it’s more commonly referred to, meat glue.

Why Russia Is Decimating The Ukraine Counter Offensive | The Gateway Pundit

When the history of Russia’s proxy war against NATO — i.e., the Special Military Operation in Ukraine — it will mark the point in history where conventional military operations predicated on doctrine established in World War II will be vanquished. ISR — i.e., Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance — is the true game changer and Russia, not NATO nor Ukraine, emerges as the military that has recognized this reality and adjusted its tactics accordingly. The West, by contrast, was lulled into complacency over the last twenty years because it employed its ISR, especially drones, against enemies that could not counter Western technology or shoot down our drones.

It is now impossible for conventional militaries to move men and equipment without being detected. During World War II the Soviets and the Brits were very creative and effective in deception operations, such as creating fictitious armies, that fooled the Germans into believing an attack was coming from one direction while failing to detect the real build up of forces. Locating enemy forces on the move or gathering in strength relied solely on fixed wing aerial surveillance, limited interception of encrypted communications and human sources (i.e. spies).

Today, the ISR capability of both the West and Russia is like the all-seeing eye of Sauron. During World War II darkness and cloud cover enabled commanders to move forces without a great risk of being detected. That is no longer the case, especially with satellite coverage of contested territory. Satellite optics and those on board fixed wing aircraft — both manned and unmanned — pierce the night and the clouds.

What does this mean for the Generals charged with preparing and executing battle plans? You must assume you are being watched by the other side and take measures to mitigate the various eyes watching your troops move into battle.

This brings me to the Ukrainian counter offensive and why it is failing. Ukraine, following the advice of NATO planners, is sending its forces across heavily mined, open fields without any air cover. This is the equivalent of a World War II banzai charge by despairing Japanese soldiers who are low on ammunition. They ran towards entrenched American positions hoping their numbers would overwhelm the defenders. They rarely succeeded and suffered devastating casualties in the process.

Today Ukraine is employing a similar tactic. But Ukraine is not sending 200,000 men in thousands of tanks and armored personnel carriers hoping to overwhelm Russia’s capability fire enough artillery, drones, missiles and bombs to stop the assault. Instead it is sending units, perhaps as large as 2000 men with a scattering of tanks and vehicles, and are melting away in the face of a Russian firestorm.

The following videos highlight the desperate plight of the Ukrainian forces:

If you want a benchmark for comparisons sake I suggest you read Big Serge’s latest on substack — Götterdämmerung in the East. The size and scale of the Soviet offensives in 1944 and 1945 dwarf anything happening today in Ukraine but illustrate the power of large scale troop movements backed up by robust artillery, thousands of tanks and air superiority. Neither Ukraine nor NATO are capable of anything on this scale.

Russia is being very chary about revealing publicly its disposition of forces. However, I find it hard to believe that the United States and NATO, thanks to their ISR assets, do not have a pretty good idea of how many troops Russia has deployed along the 900 mile line of conflict. Any plans for attacking a strong point is a simple math problem — you have to have enough men and firepower to overwhelm the Russians. Yet we know the answer to that calculation — Ukraine is lacking in manpower, tanks, vehicles, artillery, mobile air defense and combat air. It does not have the power to punch through all of the Russian defenses, much less even the first line of defense erected by General Surovikin last fall.

So here is the billion dollar question — why did the West not encourage, hell, demand that Ukraine use Himars and Storm Shadow missiles to attack those defensive lines while they were being constructed? I believe the answer is simple — Ukraine lacked the offensive tools required for such a mission and, even if such supplies had been available, the odds are high that Russia could have thwarted those efforts.

We are witnessing military malpractice by the West on a grand scale. Did the NATO planners really believe the propaganda nonsense that portrayed the Russian military as a decrepit, doddering army of incompetents? If so, the West is now learning a very hard lesson and now must come to grips with the fact that NATO’s delusional calculation that Ukraine could shatter the Russian military is a complete bust.
