Victor Madrigal-Borloz, the United Nations’ independent “expert” on sexual orientation and gender identity, capped off “Pride Month” in June with his annual report to the Human Rights Council.

The report addressed the conflicts between religious freedom and the rights of LGBTQ+ people to be “free from violence and discrimination.”

An LGBTQ+ refugee from the Democratic Republic of Congo holds a rainbow flag at a protest to demand protection at the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Nairobi, Kenya, on May 17, 2019. He would get a sympathetic hearing from the U.N.’s sexual orientation and gender identity czar, Victor Madrigal-Borloz, who takes a dim view of religious objections to the LGBTQ+ agenda.

Spoiler alert: Religious freedom loses.

Madrigal-Borloz, a Costa Rican lawyer, has a long record of sacrificing religion on the altar of gender ideology…

It’s 2023 and people are upset that babies weren’t killed. WTF has our society turned into?

On Thursday July 6, CNN released a piece indicating that 10,000 children were born in Texas. Though all life should be celebrated, CNN was disappointed that these 10,000 children lived.

The piece was titled, “Under strict abortion law, Texas had nearly 10,000 more births than expected in last nine months of 2022, research suggests.” Tell me you’re pro-death without telling me you’re pro-death.

In it, author Deidre McPhillips, wrote about how from 2021 to 2022, when Texas Senate Bill 8 took effect, nearly 10,000 births may have been the result. The Texas bill banned abortions after six weeks.

According to a study from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and with the utilization of data from other states and Texas in years prior to SB8, Texas would have likely…

Intermittent wind and solar deliver guaranteed grid chaos and rocketing power prices. Every single country that’s chased the wind and solar pipe dream has watched their power prices go through the roof, with no exception.

STT has been banging on about this since December 2012. So, don’t say we didn’t warn you. The graphic above from Dr Michael Crawford spells it out: add massively subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar to your power grid and watch power prices spiral out of control.

As STT has pointed out a number of times, power market gaming – of the kind that made Enron infamous – is a natural consequence of a very natural set of phenomena: wind and solar power output collapses that occur whenever the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in:

For forty years we’ve been hearing dire warnings about how Global Warming (always capitalize a religion) is going to wreak havoc with humanity and cause exponential increases in droughts, floods, wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes, crop failures, snowstorms, UFO sightings, and climate refugees — who will number in the tens of millions. (OK, I made up that bit about UFOs.)

A key part of the Global Warming apocalypse is that the melting poles are causing sea levels to rapidly rise. New York City, Washington, D.C., Florida and many other coastal areas around the world will soon disappear beneath the waves. That part about Florida caught my attention a few years ago. It was right after I had had a medical procedure that mostly old guys experience and it was an epiphany of sorts: Soon, I will be no more.

Coming to grips with this existential fact, I…
