Social Justice is secular religion for mostly white upscale college-educated women. As they are also often childless, it is also a sort of maternal instinct gone haywire. And as intelligence and nuance (never mind actual good governance) are secondary to displays of tribal loyalty and of always being on the Right Side of History™, the most important feature of this religion is that it easily enables its believers to identify clearly good and evil, to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys.

So anything that's coded as LGBT and/or protected Victim class, up to and including the sexualization or mutilation of children has to be: GOOD

And anything that opposes this, up to and including even allowing parents a peek at their child's curriculum or keeping naked men out of women's locker rooms has to be: EVIL.

Stupidity + certitude + moral preening is a dangerous combination.

Child Predators and their enablers, like the Boise Mayor, deserve Justice. It may or may not come while they’re on Earth, but most importantly God will repay in full.

Many years ago, when my kid still attended Catholic school, there was a talent show. There were two girls who took cheer/gymnastic lessons together, and they did a very athletic and impressive routine that was truly athletic. One girl played a classical piece on the piano. Three siblings did a very funny dance dressed up as early American presidents. One girl, though--maybe she was 12 years old--sang a very provocative song along the lines of "I'm going to get you and have my wicked way with you." It was a long time ago, and it wasn't a song I knew, so I don't remember the title exactly, but it was a sultry song, and she sang it the way it was intended. I was really surprised to see and hear all the other moms clapping and cheering at the end. As we left, I asked another mom, "Didn't you think that song was a little adult for a seventh-grader?" and she was surprised; she only said she thought the girl did an amazing job with it.

And I guess that's it. I don't think we should raise our kids to do "an amazing job" as drag queens, sexy pop stars, pretend strippers, whatever. They should be kids, without being encouraged to live up to adult sexual fantasies, or playact in adult sexual games. I guess it's hard for would-be-famewhore parents to resist the idea that their kids could be the next Selena Gomez or RuPaul, but damn... we should. We all should. This shouldn't be hard.

Republicans pounce!

Thank God somebody is fighting the Climate Apocalypse in Boise. We have like negative 12 years before the submersion of the Rockies under a puddle of STP motor oil and Ribeye steaks.

If they don’t continuously disorient us, stress us out, and spew meaningless but authoritative rhetoric, they’re scared we might actually tell these public parasites and frauds to buzz off.

Nobody cares about being shamed by people advocating for child sexualization and exploitation. What a clown show.

Chris, you write about ordinary practical matters that affect us directly. Thank you. Have you considered writing about how solidly red states still end up with progressive liberal mayors in their major cities?

"Social justice" talking point box checkers are THE most mentally ill people on earth! Their rants and points are neither socially acceptable nor justice of any type. Yet they rail on decent people standing up for children who are being groomed to be just like them...miserable malcontents. What's really ironic is these activists scream constantly for "DIVERSITY," yet their words and actions betray them: clearly unable to handle ANY diversity! Check THEIR boxes (exactly), or you're a/an _____________. (insert any of a plethora of insults for disagreeing)

Another great post. Here’s my interview with Mr. Bray, the best writer on substack: https://robertyoho.substack.com/p/62ba3652-1a38-45b7-9f06-e086bd404b11

I want to gag every time I see or hear that self-righteous drivel about diversity and accepting everyone for who they are. It's so completely phony. Folks like this half-baked mayor wouldn't dream of accepting Conservatives for "who they are." In the world of leftist lunatics who are trying to destroy our kids, only certain people are deserving of acceptance.

The “white supremacists” in Coeur d’Alene in June were really Antifa there to cause trouble at a pride event and put the blame on local patriots. All from out of town.

A local group of patriots had first received permission to hold a prayer/celebration of the third anniversary of patriots protecting the downtown of CDA from Antifa thugs who were coming off of destroying more than 25 businesses in Spokane. Nothing was harmed in CDA and they were allowed to March and leave.

The media, of course, has twisted this story to frame CDA in a bad light. Don’t believe what you read.

It’s so hard to understand what drives this lunacy, but I think some of the roots must lie in lives that are too safe. Boring, nothing to strive for, no enemy to conquer. So many wokesters are simply products of helicopter parenting and kindergarten-like colleges. The social justice bullshit offers a convenient, safe way to feel like there’s something to fight, and fight for, a little something to get riled up about, something that helps sort people into ‘the virtuous us’ and The Enemy. But the self-radicalizing nature of movements like these is going to destroy it - after it’s scorched the earth around itself first, of course.

Many a Democrat has convinced themselves they are going to win the midterms. I suspect that is a lot like Dems thinking the sexualization of children is about dignity and standing for diversity.

It’s just an incremental shifting of the goalposts. We now live in a world where published books on child rearing (look this up, true story!) suggest allowing kids to watch their parents bump uglies as a means of sex-ed. Or (and this is hilarious) as a new mother allow your husband to “make love to you” while you are breastfeeding your newborn. I am always astounded when I think society has hit rock bottom and that drops out revealing new lows.

As parents it is our job to protect our children. Elected officials work for us. A simple rule for elected officials is listen to the parents.

Nice to see normies push back against the Religion of Woke. We need to trumpet these victories to give heart to the masses.

Thanks for doing more than your share bud!

"She was born in Massachusetts and later lived in Texas and upstate New York."

Why? Why do they have to move to a red state and ruin it? Don't answer. It's rhetorical.

Speaking of Boise, I wonder if that radical mayor brought in this psycho from Portlandia (of all places) to be the new police chief. Hate to see Boise going the way of Portland.
