Man has a problem.
And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Mark 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
God has the answer.
2Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
What we saw in that tweet is a man who hates God and since he cannot take it out on God he takes it out on another man. There MUST be personal “repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.” Roman 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Now, ‘…Nature, one of the most widely read scientific journals, published a report titled “How climate change could drive an increase in gender-based violence.” It summarizes a recent review paper in Lancet Planetary Health that found extreme weather events, including storms, floods, and heat waves, were associated with an increase in violence against women and “sexual and gender minorities.”
What do “sexual and gender minorities,” such as transgender, so-called “queer,” and asexual people, have to do with violence and abuse experienced by women and girls?
Absolutely nothing. The paper, however, offers the following rationale — “due to … binary sex and gender systems and hetero-cis-normative societies, these groups tend to be at high risk of [gender-based violence].” Anyone operating in the real world knows that women and girls experience a unique set of vulnerabilities in the aftermath of a natural disaster. In many cases, policies rectifying gender-based violenceare diametrically opposed to those rectifying sex-based violence. “Sex” refers to anyone born female. “Gender,” in this context, refers to anyone who identifies as a woman.’https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/equality-not-elitism/a-new-climate-study-embraces-gender-unrealities
Can America take another two years of this? Is freedom of speech, movement, or thought only for the deranged leftist ? It seems it is!
‘Michigan Wolverines head football coach Jim Harbaugh recently spoke at a pro-life event — and liberals aren’t happy about it.
“I believe in having the courage to let the unborn be born,” Harbaugh told the audience at a Plymouth Right to Life event. “I love life. I believe in having a loving care and respect for life and death. My faith and my science are what drives these beliefs in me. Quoting from Jeremiah, ‘Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart. I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.'”
The same liberals who praise coaches and athletes for speaking out on political issues they agree with were quick to condemn Harbaugh. So while they were fine with, say, former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick getting political by kneeling for the national anthem during the 2016 NFL season, they aren’t OK with Harbaugh’s view. Instead, they want him to shut up.’https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/liberals-defend-kaepernicks-free-speech-but-not-harbaughs
‘In an interesting turn of events, United States Sen. Chuck Grassley said it would be “unconstitutional” to restrict travel for abortions after last year saying if the federal government required COVID vaccinations to travel by plane or train, then the unvaccinated would have to find another way to travel.
Here is what Sen. Grassley said last year about vaccination or testing requirements to fly.
“Well, I don’t know if that will keep people from traveling or not. I suppose if that was a requirement and you wanted to travel by airplane or I suppose it could apply to trains as well, you might not be able to travel the way you’d want to travel. You’d have to find other ways of traveling, which obviously may be by car. But I don’t see the federal government forcing people to get vaccinated.”
On Wednesday, Grassley told The Des Moines Register “we cannot stop people from traveling anyplace they want to. It’s a constitutional issue and a freedom.”
He said that in regards to whether lawmakers should be able to prohibit individuals from crossing state lines to have their unborn baby’s life intentionally ended.’https://theiowastandard.com/after-saying-unvaccinated-would-have-to-find-other-ways-to-travel-if-shot-required-grassley-comes-out-against-efforts-to-ban-out-of-state-travel-for-abortions/
‘Yesterday I was on a flight by myself. Rare, because I normally have my hunk of a husband beside me.
I get nervous traveling alone, because I get recognized a lot and sometimes it can feel weird having people looking at me, take pics of me, and talking about me like I can’t hear
Well, yesterday I was very aware of the man in front of me who kept looking back at me. And then he did the classic pull his phone out and hold it up real high and zoom in to take a selfie of me as if I couldn’t see it 
that is a very awkward moment 
I of course thought he was just doing that bc he recognized me… that’s definitely not the first time that’s happened.
When the flight ended he walked up to me and he said, “I fly all the time. I’ve seen a lot on airplanes, but I have never seen anyone studying a bible. I had to get a picture. God bless you.” 
Wow. It kind of shook me. I felt bad for assuming what he was doing, but was amazed to hear the reason why he stopped to get a pic. He had no idea “who I was.” He was just amazed a bible was out in the open being read and underlined.
It made me kind of sad that this man who travels all the time had never seen that before and that the Bible was shocking enough to whip out his phone and get a picture of someone reading.
There are many many places in the world you can’t pull out your bible in public to read, and I’m thankful I am able to do that.
I bring my bible pretty much anywhere I would bring my purse with me. It makes me feel so secure and confident. It reminds me of who I am, what my purpose is, and how to love people well.
I guess I just wanted to post this because there is a scripture in Judges right after Joshua that says, “And there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord or the work that he had done for Israel.”
That seems crazy! But when I look around I’m starting to see how that could happen. I hope it’s not that shocking to see a bible out. I encourage you church to not sleep on this generation!‘ From an email received from https://theiowastandard.com/
There’s not much common sense around today but there is with Dr. Ron Paul.
‘An instructor at the Harvard Law School has Tweeted a threat against the US Supreme Court over its recent overturning of Roe v. Wade: the Justices should “never know peace again.” Twitter has taken no action against the threat. Why? Also today: As the US Army faces unprecedented recruitment challenges, today it kicks out 60,000 soldiers…for refusing the Covid shot! Finally: Newsom presides over the worst schools in the nation…so he goes to Washington for an education award! Make sense?’https://rumble.com/v1c9u2x-terror-threat-us-supremes-should-never-know-peace-again.html?mref=6zof&mc=dgip3&ep=2
‘I have written here previously of several attempts to enact “nature rights” kinds of laws, specifically targeting water, in the State of Florida. The threat became so real — with Orange County passing a “rights of water” ordinance — that a law was enacted at the state level prohibiting granting rights to nature.
That didn’t stop a “lake” in Orange County from suing. But the case was just tossed based on state preemption. The same thing happened in Ohio when a local election (with a 9 percent voter turnout) granted rights to Lake Erie.
Good. That’s how it is done.
Let’s Not Be Sanguine
But this victory should not make us sanguine. “Nature rights” and “animal rights” activists will keep trying. And there is no denying they are making incremental inroads. Six rivers and two glaciers have “rights.” More than 30 U.S. cities have granted rights to nature. So have several Latin American countries’ statutes and/or constitutions, and so ruled a court in India. An Argentine court granted “nonhuman personhood” to an orangutan. The New York Court of Appeals denied personhood to elephants, but only by a 7–2 margin. When that was tried on chimps in the same court just a few years before, it didn’t even get a hearing. Step by step, inch by inch.
The time is now for all U.S. states and the federal government to enact laws that restrict “rights” to the human realm and deny direct legal standing to any animal or aspect of the natural world in any court of law. As the Florida lawsuit’s outcome shows, such laws could stop these subversive movements cold.
That would not stop debate about environmentalism and animal welfare. Nor should it. But it would allow debate on these important issues to be approached from the correct perspectives that also includes cost–benefit considerations and the importance of human thriving and economic well-being.’https://evolutionnews.org/2022/07/local-water-rights-law-invalidated-in-florida/
