Matthew 27:33-60 KJV

33  And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,

34  They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

35  And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.

36  And sitting down they watched him there;

37  And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38  Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

39  And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

40  And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

41  Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

42  He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

43  He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

44  The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

45  Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.

46  And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

47  Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.

48  And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

49  The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.

50  Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

51  And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

52  And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

53  And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

54  Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

55  And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

56  Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children.

57  When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:

58  He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

59  And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60  And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

LGBTQIA Is a Waste of Time

photog Current Events , ,

Depending on whether you add in all the minor weirdos to the mix, the LGBTQIA***** organized crime group takes up an inordinate amount of my time every time I have to say or write their name.  Sure, it doesn’t look like all that much but it’s at least seven syllables and saying and writing that gobbledygook doesn’t exactly coming trippingly to the tongue or thumb.

It can be debated as to whether they have made up this goofy acronym just to be annoying or not.  After all these aren’t the most rational individuals.  It’s highly likely that their actions are almost random and the chances of anything they do not being annoying is probably very low.  So, I won’t go down that road.  But intentional or accidental I’m just tired of having to go through all the work of writing out that nonsense.

So, what to call them?  I could call them the weirdos but that isn’t specific enough.  I could call them the sexual weirdos.  But that sounds a little too benign to describe a group that has caused so much mayhem and misery.  I guess I could use the term sexual defectives.  That signifies that the problem is inherent and isn’t their fault.  They’re just broken from the start.  That was their claim a decade or two ago.  If I want to be less specific, I can call them sexual deviants.  That leaves the question of their choice out of it.

Are six syllables still too much?  How about just deviants?  Most of the time that would be enough.  What other deviants are there that they could be mixed up with?  We don’t call drug addicts deviants typically.  Plain old criminals aren’t typically called deviants.  Psychopaths and sociopaths have their own specific definitions.  Unless I’m missing something, it looks like the term is available.

So that seems like a good fit.  I’ll call them sexual deviants maybe once in an article and drop back to just plain deviants in the rest of the references.  Who knows how many man-hours I may save by this new designation?  I predict I’ll add years to my life by this little innovation.  Maybe I should patent it or copyright it or something.  I could come to be known as the man who eliminated the LGBTQIA.  How cool would that be?

So let me try this out for a while and see how it fits.  It doesn’t differentiate the differences between the various fetishes that make up the deviant confederation.  It doesn’t speak to the particular delusion that would drive someone to declare himself gender fluid.  But maybe that’s the beauty of it.  I’m not exactly interested in understanding the various quirks and kinks that define and explain all of these people.  I just need a term that accurately designates them as a whole.  I’ll leave it to lawyers and doctors to understand them or define their relationship to the rest of the world.  All I need is a way to stop worrying about memorizing another letter they’ve added to their alphabet soup every time they think of a new way to torture their bodies and souls.

07APR2023 – Quote of the Day

photog Quote of the Day ,

A humble knowledge of oneself is a surer road to God than a deep searching of the sciences. Yet learning itself is not to be blamed, or is the simple knowledge of anything whatsoever to be despised, for true learning is good in itself and ordained by God; but a good conscience and a holy life are always to be preferred. But because many are more eager to acquire much learning than to live well, they often go astray, and bear little or no fruit. If only such people were as diligent in the uprooting of vices and the panting of virtues as they are in the debating of problems, there would not be so many evils and scandals among the people, nor such laxity in communities. At the Day of Judgement, we shall not be asked what we have read, but what we have done; not how eloquently we have spoken, but how holily we have lived. Tell me, where are now all those Masters and Doctors whom you knew so well in their lifetime in the full flower of their learning? Other men now sit in their seats, and they are hardly ever called to mind. In their lifetime they seemed of great account, but now no one speaks of them.

Tech Entrepreneur Stabbed to Death in San Fran. People of Color Hardest Hit

photog Current Events , , ,

San Francisco, that jewel in the crown of Gavin Noisome’s fantasy kingdom of California has reached the predictable point where even the Tech billionaires will have to become meta residents of San Francisco while their corporeal selves move to Montana and Idaho.

Bob Lee the tech entrepeneur behind Cash App and other tech companies was stabbed to death in one of the “safe” enclaves of the homeless encampment formerly known as San Francisco.  Lee had already moved out of the city because his family meant something to him but he was visiting for business and apparently mistook the description “relatively safe” for somewhere a rational person would walk with impunity.

When reached for comment Gavin Nuisance was heard to say, “California is pioneering a new way for billionaires and common people to interact; stabbing.  If given the chance I’d like to spread this new way of living across this great nation.”  At that point the Gordon Gecko look-alike had to dodge a hammer-wielding homeless man who was wrestled to the ground by the governor’s entourage.  The hair-gelled talking head was whisked away in a helicopter to avoid the gathering zombie crowd and the speech ended predictably.

ArthurinCali Has an Article Over at His Site About Forever Wars

Being a retired service member he gives his personal reflections on US defense policies and their impact on the people out there on the front lines.

At present, the military cannot fill its coffers with required personnel due to lack of interest in serving and too many disqualifying factors. Obesity, drug use and criminal records cancel out 75% of eligible young adults to even join. That is 24 million out of 34 million from the 17–24-year-old range. Of those who do qualify, why would they join? The stated purpose of the US military to defend the nation is dubious at this point.  What is there to defend except the stock value of defense companies and a politician’s re-election chances?

Interesting read.

Twitter Labels NPR State Sponsored Propaganda. All Three Listeners Object Strenuously.

photog Current Events , ,

This Elon Musk guy is a pretty funny dude.  He recently relabeled NPR with the same designation as the one used for North Korean and Zimbabwean state-sponsored media entities.

 

In protest the head of NPR complained,

In answer to this tweet, thousands of hecklers mocked him mercilessly reminding him of the Hunter Biden story and countless other examples of NPR toadying up to the Democrats.  To borrow one of the ZMan’s favorite terms the consensus was that NPR was guilty of regime rumpswabbery.

And Elon had the last word.
