For Father’s Day America Steals Children
13
United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions is using a Bible verse to justify ripping children away from their parents. They’ll hint the parents might not get their children back. The government actually admits they’re using this as a threat.
What kind of country is America anyway? Call or write your representatives!

X-Day is Coming. Are You?
“X-Day is a traditional part of the Church of the SubGenius, a religion formed as a parody of cults and extreme religious groups, and their pamphlets and claims. X-Day fell on July 5, 1998, the scheduled ‘end of the world’ and has been celebrated on July 5 each year since then. From its inception in 1980, the Church had prophesied that an army of alien invaders (known as the “X-ists” or “Men From Planet X”) would land on the planet Earth and destroy the world of “normals”, “pinks”, and “glorps,” while the members of the Church of the SubGenius would be rescued by the aliens and taken away into space.” — Wikipedia
The X-Day Devival actually begins before July 5. Don’t be late!

SCOTUS Strikes Down Ban on Politics at Polling Places
The United States Supreme Court said Minnesota’s ban on political clothing at polling places was too broad and vague.
SCOTUS Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.said:
“A shirt declaring ‘All Lives Matter,‘ we are told, could be ‘perceived’ as political. How about a shirt bearing the name of the National Rifle Association? Definitely out. That said, a shirt displaying a rainbow flag could be worn ‘unless there was an issue on the ballot’ that ‘related somehow . . . to gay rights.‘ A shirt simply displaying the text of the Second Amendment? Prohibited. But a shirt with the text of the First Amendment? ‘It would be allowed.‘ “

Babies Can Consent: 16-Year-Olds Can’t
How can babies be old enough to give consent and teenagers aren’t?
In some parts of Australia, 15 year olds aren’t old enough to give consent to another person doing things with their genitals. In other parts, 16 year olds aren’t old enough. In some cases, neither are 17 year olds.
But babies are? A sex expert is recommending parents don’t change their infant’s diapers until the baby gives permission.

American flag with today’s trending words.
Merriam-Webster (to which I, ahem, made extremely small contributions) has words Trending Now on its website. One of the foremost dictionary producers in English language history, it works not to set trends, but to report them.
In today’s political and social climate, what were the five top recent trending words in the English language?
- lowlife ‘a person of low moral character’
- kakistocracy ‘government by the worst people’
- slimeball ‘a morally repulsive or odious person’
- salacious ‘arousing or appealing to sexual desire’
- oligarch ‘government in which a small group exercises control’

Chinese Zoo Visitors Kill Kangaroos

If you had any doubt that zoos in China are often terrible, you should have no doubt now.
Visitors wanted some kangaroos to hop for their entertainment. When they didn’t, the visitors threw rocks at them. One helpless kangaroo was injured, another died.
Should we stone an animal to death because it won’t dance?

School Says Girls Can’t Say No
Girls were not allowed to choose who they danced with at a school dance. (This photo is a substitute for the original which was removed by the publisher; this photo does not depict the school; see details below).
A Utah girl told her mother she couldn’t refuse if a boy asked her to dance at a Valentine’s Day event at her school. The mother complained to her Kanesville Elementary school principal because telling a sixth grade girl she couldn’t say no to a boy is a terrible message. The principal said that’s the policy, and the preteen girl had to do what the boys wanted.
It applies to both boys and girls. What happens if they say no, will they be punished? None of the preteens can say no. Is this 2018 or 1958?

White Evangelical Christian Hypocrisy
Donald Trump and Barack Obama. How you speak about them tells more about you than it does about them. And you may not like what people are seeing.
If you want to skip my introduction, you can go and read John Pavlovitz’s editorial White Evangelicals, This is Why People Are Through With You.
If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s hypocrisy. If you recall, Jesus of Nazareth didn’t tolerate it either. And right now, America is rampant with it.
This isn’t just about Donald Trump and Barack Obama. This isn’t just about politics. It’s about fundamental Christian values. To understand where I’m coming from, you need to understand where I came from.
I was raised in church. For churches, I was a child acolyte, child/teen/adult choir member, janitor, website and business card designer, Bible school worker, assistant production director, production director, young adult group leader, adult Sunday school teacher, communion server, bylaws reviser, and administrative board member.
I am classified as Caucasian, and I voted in the last presidential primary as Republican.
With that in mind, I remember how Jesus loved and helped sinners, but spoke very, very strongly against religious hypocrisy. Like what is happening in America right now.
Now please read John Pavlovitz’s editorial White Evangelicals, This is Why People Are Through With You. It says what I would say if John hadn’t already said it very, very well.

Donald Trump Lies
“I’m not gonna play much golf, because there’s a lot of work to be done.” –Donald Trump
All right, so the title of this entry is hardly ground-breaking. Even supporters of Donald Trump say he lies (and may justify it by saying all politicians lie and they don’t care).
But comparing the number and type of Trump’s documented lies to those of hundreds of people in studies reveal a couple of startling things. Social scientist
For one thing, he apparently lies much more often than the average person. For another, Trump’s lies are rarely made to avoid hurting someone’s feelings, like many of us do (“Why yes, I really do like your new, whatever-it-is you’re wearing.”) Instead, Donald Trump’s lies are often the opposite: insulting and hurtful. He lies to insult people much, much more often than almost all of the rest of us. In fact, according to records of his public comments, his lies are 10 times more likely to be malicious.
Come to think of it, having listened to Trump speak, maybe that isn’t too surprising either.
I study liars. I’ve never seen one like President Trump.
