Italian boxer Angela Carini's dreams were stolen by a male masquerading as a woman. She lost her opportunity and this tough guy beat up a girl. The Olympic Committee said they wanted everyone to feel welcome and accepted... meaning this intruder into woman's sports had to be accepted. Well, Ms Carini did not feel accepted as she knelt sobbing on the mat.

It seems these days, people that don't fit into normal society are the ones we have cater to and make them feel that they are normal. The fact is... they are not normal.

From the beginning there were men and women. They have not always retained the desires for the opposite genders they were designed for as we could see from the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. This we understand.

Lately we have seen people outright reject their birth XX or XY genetics and try to say that their feelings are more important than scientific reality. Some are even proclaiming that men can have babies. Never mind that it is physically impossible, but to keep with the woke rejection of reality they have to say it is possible... just as it is possible for a man to become a woman, which is OK by them because they can't even honestly describe what a woman is.

This being the case, how can they say this guy in the Olympic boxing ring was woman enough to compete. They can't, but they solve this problem by telling us we must accept what ever someone wants to identify as.

I could sit in my garage and say I am a car. Would that make me one? No more than some guy “identifying” as a woman becomes one – even if he pays some surgeon to altar his plumbing. He is still XY until the day he dies. That XY on average gives him a stronger skeletal structure and more powerful muscles... even if they dilute their testosterone. If he is some sort of genetic anomaly, it is not fair to put him or her or whatever in the ring with someone without the superior advantage.

By catering to the fantasies of men who say they are women, we are denying them the psychiatric care they need to adjust to reality. Worse than that we are permitting them to take the place of real women who have worked to earn their place in whatever their endeavor in life. This was seen in the Olympic Tragedy and NCAA swimming events along with other less publicized injustices.

People and organizations eager to display their virtuous woke credentials by accepting and protecting all sorts of foolishness. Denying the scientific realities of biology, they open themselves to chasing all kinds of silliness – like men can become women. Using the same thinking, by spending all kinds of money and making restrictive rules for the little people we can correct the fantasy inspired, man made climate change, global warming/cooling or what designation du jour may be.

Keep in mind, these are the same people who believe JD Vance is weird.

Genesis 5:1,2

This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

This is a sad story about one of God's most favored people. Many people know the story of how David's son Absolom attempted to usurp the throne and replace his father as King of Israel. However, there is much more to the story and, while Absolom should not be excused, it is helpful to look deeper into the things that brought him to that decision.

The story begins when his brother Ammon raped their sister Tamar. Absolom was rightly angered and did his best to take care of his sister whose life was shattered by the attack. He did not do anything immediately, but his anger burned.

After a time he led his brother to believe things were alright between them. Ammon trusted him and when they were alone, Absolom took revenge and stabbed him to death. These were violent times and, while there were no legal consequences when the king's son took a life, but Absolom still thought it best to leave the area.

After several years, David wanted his son, whom he loved, to come home, so he sent for him and he was brought back to Jerusalem. Absolom was given a home and he lived like the prince he was. However, for two years, David could not bring himself to face the young man.

This hurt Absolom deeply and the Bible tells us that during this time his heart became bitter. David was a man after God's own heart we are told, but he was still a man with human failures. He was unable to see what is rejection was doing to the son who longed for his love an approval. David loved Absolom, but could not bring himself to show it... and the seeds of rebellion were planted.

Eventually Absolom gathered people around himself and declared himself to be king in his father's place. Without going into the details that can be found in the book of Samuel, David sent his army out to stop the rebellion but gave careful instructions that his son was not to be harmed.

Joab, David's military leader, was more of a political realist and he killed Absolom, believing he was doing the king a service. However when David received word of his son's death, he wept for days and replaced Joab with another.

Would David's acceptance of his son kept the rebellion from forming and prevented his early death? To say would only be conjecture, but David's human frailties, in spite of the unconditional acceptance he received from his Creator certainly stoked the flames of rebellion that led to the tragic results.

Some people get ahead of themselves.  They think that because they began to study something they are suddenly an expert.  For instance, I knew a couple engineering students who already called themselves “engineers”.  I hate when they do that.  You don't see pre-med students going around calling themselves doctors, or gender studies students calling themselves unemployed.

That hate is more a figure of speech and, unless, someone is a psychopath, it doesn't really mean anything.  But true hatred can be problem – and we are seeing so much of it, and its companion, anger, in our world today, especially on college campuses.  Whether it is toward a person, whether it is toward an organization, or whether it is toward our country – it distorts perspective and takes away enjoyment of the simple things in life and our ability to appreciate the good things around us.

We see examples of both on college campuses these days.  Young people looking for relevance, harboring a rebellious streak are fed lies and half truths.  Then, armed wihh this newfound perspective, they are ready to protest, to demonstrate, to destroy property and threaten people - anything to express their rage at "the man".   They chant: from the river to the sea... and many don't even know what river or what sea.  They know it has something to do with Jews - who they see as white - the Arabs living in Gaza - who have darker skin and make the leap that, once again, the white man is oppressing the dark skinned neighbor.  

The lack of understanding of recent events and the historical perspective is astounding... yet they are angry and scream to stop the genocide, all the while calling for the death of all Jews.  Meanwhile their fellow classmates, many of whom were with them all the way in espousing progressive thinking and causes don't know what to make of it when their former friends turn on them.  These vocal protesters now regard themselves a virtuous for threatening or even harming their old comrades.

They see how many Jews have done well financially and risen to prominence without taking into account the dedication to family and respect for education and hard work - something that is available to all but anathema to many.  It is hardly the result of a secret cabal.

It's easy to fall into hating someone when we don't understand who they are or how they got to where they are.  Hate and envy go hand in hand.  Particularly when those in charge of the institutions are whispering encouragement into the ears of susceptible misfits.  As usual, youth believes they have found something new that has not been done before.  Most have no idea hat went on in the late 60s. The 1968 Democrat Convention in Chicago saw another generation of anti-war protesters wreak havoc the entire week.  Security was so on edge that news man Dan Rather found himself getting beaten on the convention floor by overzealous guards.  Bombs blew up laboratories in colleges - even killed one or two.  When they took over the deans office, they didn't leave.  They were serious - seriously maladjusted.  Most of those people never left academia and built the structure that has taken these young people hostage.

There are things that should justifiably anger us, and we have to deal with them... but to constantly live there is bad for the body and harmful to the soul.

Rev. Martin Luther King Jr had something to say about the things on the minds of these people, “I have decided to stick with love,”  he said, “hate is too great a burden to bear.”  Rev. King had far worse things done to him than any of the over-privileged college students. He added, “Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.”

It's been said that hating someone is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies.  And, it is a poison – a poison to the soul.  So when we see someone behaving this way, it does us no good to return the hatred.  We don't have to agree with people like this, or take actions they are pushing us to do.  What we see is a struggling human being, a hurting human being, and it will help neither of us to respond in kind even though we have to take some defensive actions if they pose a threat to ourselves, a threat to our families or a threat to our country.

One more thought from the king of rock and roll. Elvis, told us, “Animals don't hate, and we're supposed to be better than them."
