Dems & Free Stuff, China & Cybersecurity, School Board & A Big Scandal

October 12, 2021 by GregC

Listen to “Dems & Free Stuff, China & Cybersecurity, School Board & A Big Scandal” on Spreaker.

Jim and Greg get a kick out of Democrats being frustrated that giving away a ton of money in the “COVID relief” bill is not helping them much politically. They also cringe as a departing Pentagon official warns that China is so far ahead of us in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence that we look like kindergarteners by comparison. And they rip into the Loudoun County, Virginia, school board for apparently covering up a brutal sexual assault against a ninth grade girl in order to advance their transgender agenda.

July 15, 2021 by GregC

Listen to “Disney CTU, Blocking Slave Labor Imports, BLM Defends Cuban Commies, Left’s Book Banning” on Spreaker.

Four martinis for the price of three today! First, Jim and Greg are thrilled to know their vision for Disney CTU is now a reality. They also cheer the Senate for passing legislation banning imports likely produced through slave labor in China’s Xinjiang Province. Then they hammer the Black Lives Matter Organization for defending the communist regime in Cuba, blaming the U.S. embargo for the misery there, and praising the Cuban government for giving asylum to an American cop killer. Finally, they react to the American Booksellers Association apologizing for including a “violent” book in its recent mailing – because it urges parents to be wary of the transgender movement.

March 31, 2021 by GregC

Listen to “Biden’s Bad Border Polls, The Infrastructure Trojan Horse, The Left’s War on Biological Sex” on Spreaker.

Rob Long and Greg react to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo doing exactly what Rob said he would do to distract from his many scandals. Then they’re glad to see President Biden’s poll numbers sinking on immigration policy. They also explain how Biden’s “infrastructure” bill appears to include a bunch of Green New Deal provisions and guts the freedom to work.

Court: Judge Can Overrule Parents On Gender Identity

April 26, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Court: Judge Can Overrule Parents On Gender Identity” on Spreaker.

The Arizona Supreme Court ruled Thursday that judges in the state can force parents to provide counseling, therapy, and other services or a child who identifies as a different gender than their biological sex.

The decision partially strikes down a 2018 Appeals Court ruling which gave more deference to parents.  The case in question involved a divorced couple in a dispute over how to raise their biologically male child who “demonstrated a preference for female items,” according to a report in the Arizona Republic.

The Arizona Supreme Court ruling was unanimous, but does state that the parents cannot be required to provide services for their kids unless they are “at risk of physical danger or significantly impaired emotionally.”

LGBT activists are cheering the decision, asserting that children who are not “affirmed” in their preferred gender identity suffer far more depression and are more likely to harm themselves than those who do not meet parental resistance.

But Liberty Counsel Chairman Mathew Staver says the court got this one wrong.

“I think the Supreme Court of Arizona is wrong and I think that the Arizona Court of Appeals did get it right, when last year it ultimately ruled that courts could not take sides between parents over these kinds of issues,” said Staver.

He also contends this is pure activism from the justices.

“The Arizona Supreme Court simply gerrymandered this case.  There is no law that would allow the courts to interfere between the parents in this kind of a situation,” said Staver.

He says the government has no business getting involved in these sorts of disputes.

“When a child is going through gender confusion, there is no reason to go down the road – especially at a child’s early age – for hormone-blocking treatment, hormones of a different gender, and even counseling to go through surgical intervention.  Essentially, they’ve opened up the door to do just that, which is going to cause both short and long-term harm to the children.

“They should leave those decisions to the parents, even if the parents cannot agree,” said Staver.

Listen to the full podcast to hear Staver explain why he rejects the American Association of Pediatrics recommendations of “comprehensive, gender-affirming, and developmentally appropriate health care” for children struggling with gender dysphoria and why such advice is contrary to the basics of most counseling.

NEA Helps Push Transgender Agenda on Kindergartners

March 18, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “NEA Helps Push Transgender Agenda on Kindergartners” on Spreaker.

One of the most powerful forces in public education is actively promoting transgenderism to children as young as kindergartners.

Earlier this month, National Education Association President Lily Eskelsen Garcia joined Sarah McBride of the Human Right Campaign in reading “I Am Jazz” to a kindergarten class at Ashlawn Elementary School in Arlington, Virginia.  The  NEA is the largest teachers’ union in the nation.  The Human Right Campaign is the largest LGBT lobby in the U.S.

According to the Washington Post, he event took place in conjunction with the NEA’s Read Across America Day.

McBride, who was born a biological male but now identifies as female, read lines from the book, such as ““I have a girl brain but a boy body. This is called transgender. I was born this way.”

Cathy Ruse, director of the Center for Human Dignity at the Family Research Council, says it was “completely outrageous” to read such a book to a kindergarten class.  But she says there’s more than what the Washington Post reported.

“The parents were not fully notified and they were not asked permission to have their kids in this event,” said Ruse, noting that notice of the event only went to parents in English, whereas many of the families in that neighborhood do not speak English as their first language.

Listen to the full podcast to hear Ruse explain the significance of the National Education Association promoting this issue to young kids, why she believes activists are trying to smother any dissent on these issues, and what she sees as the proper way to approach any students struggling with their sex or gender.

Senate Showdowns, Kasich’s Quixotic Quest, Twitter’s Latest Purge

November 26, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “Senate Showdowns, Kasich’s Quixotic Quest, Twitter’s Latest Purge” on Spreaker.

David French of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America pop some popcorn as Democrats will likely have to eliminate one of their members from the Senate Judiciary Committee and the one with the least seniority – California’s Kamala Harris – is furiously fighting to stay on the panel.  Of course, all of this is assuming Republicans will win the Mississippi Senate runoff Tuesday, in a race that has Republicans increasingly nervous.  They also roll their eyes as Ohio Gov. John Kasich is seriously considering another White House bid and David explains why Kasich is the answer to a question no one is asking.  And they shake their heads as Twitter starts banning users for “misgendering” or “deadnaming” transgenders online and perpetuates efforts to stifle all debate on the issue.

California Bill Lets Foster Care Children Choose Transgender Treatment

June 12, 2018 by GregC

http://dateline.radioamerica.org/podcast/AB-2119.mp3

By: Joshua Paladino

A bill in the California State Legislature would mandate puberty-blocking drugs and sex change operations for transgender minors in the foster care system.

Assembly Bill 2119, the Foster Care Gender Affirming Health Care and Behavioral Health Services Act, advanced to the Senate Human Services Committee on Tuesday.

The bill bans counselors, parents, foster parents, and social workers from guiding children toward identification with their biological gender. The bill states, “A licensed professional, or any other individual, shall not subject a foster child or nonminor dependent to any treatment, intervention, or conduct that seeks to change the foster child’s or nonminor dependent gender identity.”

It mandates three broad plans of treatment for transgender or gender non-conforming children, including interventions to suppress the development of internal secondary sex characteristics, interventions to align the patient’s appearance or physical body with the patient’s gender identity, and interventions to alleviate symptoms of clinically significant distress resulting from gender dysphoria.

The bill states that 12-year-old children “have established rights to privately seek and consent to outpatient mental health counseling and treatment.”

According to the bill’s sponsors, its purpose is to counteract the biased treatment that transgender and non-gender conforming children face.

The bill already succeeded in the lower chamber, passing on May 22 by a 46-22 vote.

Twin Wins for Christians in Military

March 26, 2018 by GregC

http://dateline.radioamerica.org/podcast/3-26-wright-blog.mp3

Advocates for religious freedom in the military are mostly cheering President Trump’s policy on transgenders serving in the military and are breathing a sigh of relief as the U.S. Navy rejects the push for an theist chaplain.

On Friday, President Trump issued a memo reversing the Obama administration policy on transgender service.  The president believes there are legitimate concerns about the impact of transgenders – particularly those transitioning from one identity to another – on military readiness.

“In my judgment, the previous administration failed to identify a sufficient basis to conclude that terminating the departments’ longstanding policy and practice would not hinder military effectiveness and lethality, disrupt unit cohesion, or tax military resources, and there remain meaningful concerns that further study is needed to ensure that continued implementation of last year’s policy change would not have those negative effects,” reads the memo.

The move is largely applauded by Christian voices in the military community.  Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty Executive Director Phil Wright says Trump did the right thing.

“The Chaplain Alliance affirms the commander-in-chief’s decision.  The number one priority for the military is to be ready to deploy and engage in and win the nation’s wars as well as defend our allies,” said Wright,a  retired U.S. Army colonel who served as a chaplain while in uniform.

He says it’s time for the government to stop using the military to advance cultural and political goals.

“The military is not (designed) to engineer social change.  It’s not a club.  It’s not to reflect America.  It is to win the nation’s wars, to defend the nation and our allies,” said Wright.

The memo largely restricts military service from people undergoing surgeries or therapies that make them undeployable if they get sent somewhere they won’t have access to those medical options.

However, it does not call for a total ban on transgenders serving in the military, and Wright says some aspects of the lingering policy leave him concerned, including safety for women in uniform.

“When you have men alleging to be women and having access to female billeting, barracks, showers, bathrooms, we think that is an issue that has not been addressed appropriately,” said Wright.

Wright says there are numerous complaints from women being forced to share quarters with men transitioning to a female identity and that those women not only fear for their safety but are deeply concerned that their superiors will have little regard for their privacy.

He’s also concerned about whether chaplains and other personnel will be pressured to stifle their beliefs on transgender issues.

“We are very concerned that the constitutional protections afforded our service members as far as religious liberty are not addressed when those who continue to serve seem to have all of the rights,” said Wright.

However, Wright is fully thrilled to see the U.S. Navy once again reject the application of a humanist to join the chaplain corps.  Jason Heap was rejected once during the Obama administration but tried again this year.  The effort met swift resistance on Capitol Hill from 45 Republicans in the House and 22 in the Senate.

Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., and Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colo., led the effort to quash Heap’s application.  Both serve on the respective armed services committees in the House and Senate.

“We’re very fortunate that we have people in our civilian leadership, which is part of our military, having oversight.  We were glad that they were able to step in and make such a cogent argument,” said Wright.

Wright says the idea of an atheist chaplain boggles the mind.

“By definition, humanists or human secularists or atheists could not be a military chaplain is to be religious.  Their very first comment will be that they are not religious and have no intention of being religious.  They’re actually hostile to religion,” said Wright.

He does not see Heap’s application as an effort to water down the chaplains’ corps but the exact opposite.

“It seems to be more aimed at doing away with the chaplain corps than it is to minister to those soldiers of that particular belief system,” said Wright.

Wright points out the chaplains were first ordered into the Army by Gen. George Washington and that chaplains play a far more critical role in combat than many people realize.

“Having served myself, I know many commanders would not go downrange into combat without a chaplain in their ranks because of what the chaplains provide for those commanders and the men and women that they lead and the family members left behind,” said Wright.

“You have someone who understands authority.  You have someone that’s disciplined.  You have someone who has a high view of life, and in those murky fog-of-war situation, I think you would want someone, whether it’s a soldier who’s pulling the trigger or a chaplain who is trying to instruct them about just war and about doing right at the right time for the right reason.

“That’s who you want in your formation and not someone who does not have an informed worldview like that,” said Wright.

With atheists wanting to join a unit specifically for people of deep faith and people wanting to join the military while identifying as a different gender than their biology indicates, how challenging is it for chaplains and other believers in the service today?

“You have a biblical worldview on the one hand that our chaplains hold to and that a lot of Americans hold to and then you have other worldviews which lead to some of these other kinds of belief systems or facts that aren’t really truth.

“You get into, ‘Well, maybe that’s your truth not my truth.  There is one absolute truth,” said Wright.  “This is an ongoing challenge that has always been around ever since Jesus walked the earth.”
