Olympics Pres: We Would Screen Out Men if Science Could Tell Men and Women Apart

By the age of three, all humans should be able to know the difference between girl parts and boy parts. I was three and half when my twin brothers were born, and the difference was obvious.

Western Civilization in Decline

The author of that piece claims Western Civilization has been in decline for a couple hundred years. I would argue it’s more like five hundred and accelerated in the last three hundred. Music, literature, theater (with maybe Shakespeare as the exception given the coded messaging in his plays) physical media such as marble, oil on canvas, etc., all had their height in pretty much the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Even my beloved Mozart did not compose some of the more complicated a cappella pieces Palestrina did for the Sistine Chapel. Increasingly, cultural media is just far more simple, and not nearly as well executed.

Tweets…X-Files, uh, posts, whatever

But it does work in pool water when the formula is sport.

As I’ve been listening to podcasts and reading, there’s a lot in the background. Bergoglio, aka Francis, is/was not exactly an honest man. I’m working on synthesizing all the info I’ve come across. Fr. Charles Murr has the goods, and the interview was on LifeSite news. I’ll have to dig it up.

Music…all you need is a connection and tuning. Any two or more can make it happen.

A mammal to be named later.

Per the boss’s instruction:

I’d throw in a few Rockefellers and Rothschilds also.

Of course, this does not mean committing felonies, but standing up to the forces that want to tear this nation – and humanity apart. The very people XVII told us will be destroyed by the time this movie comes to an end are currently roaming the halls of power…supposedly. It’s a sickening sight.

Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.

This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.

Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

And Auntie DePat’s requests:

If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.

The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.

Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.

The Gospel According to St. Matthew, Chapter 18:

At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?  2 And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them,  3 And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.  4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.  5 And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.

 6 But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea.  7 Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh.  8 And if thy hand, or thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire.  9 And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.  10 See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.  12 What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray: doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and go to seek that which is gone astray?  13 And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not astray.  14 Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.  15 But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the power of God, cast down to Hell Satan and all his evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Amen brother.

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome. Via con Dios.
