In late May, I started seeing news articles that declared June LGBTQ Pride Month. I thought this was a new thing, but it has actually been building up for a couple of decades. US President Bill Clinton was the person who got the ball rolling. In June 1999, he declared the anniversary of the Stonewall riots every June in America as Gay and Lesbian Pride Month. In 2009, President Barack Obama declared June LGBT Pride Month. On 1 June 2021, President Joe Biden issued an official presidential proclamation recognizing June as Pride Month.

Since about 80% of the population has no interest in these alternative sexual lifestyles, you might like to know who is financially backing this campaign. Three key main drivers are the largest investment firms of Black Rock, Vanguard, and State Street. These companies control $20 trillion in assets. When Joe Biden was VP, he secretly met with them, saying they have greater power than the Democratic party to advance Left-wing social agendas.

Since they sit on many boards, through their ownership of millions of company shares, they can force firms to adopt sexual diversity platforms. It doesn’t matter that sales were down that quarter. Activists want to know why the company doesn’t have any black lesbians in management.

If Freddie Mercury, Rock Hudson, and Liberace were still alive, they would likely be upset that the people managing their savings were fixated on sexual matters. A homosexual 20 years ago would think the only agenda with their investments should be focused on making them grow in value. It is actually illegal for CEOs to conduct transactions that will harm the value of a company. Their duty is to increase shareholder net worth, and they can be sued for failing in their duties.

The job of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen should be to look after the nation’s economy. While major banks are failing and the danger of a national debt defect loomed closer, Yellen found time to host several LGBTQ events.

While federal agencies have been tripping over themselves to pledge allegiance to queer activism, they couldn’t be bothered to recognize the fallen troops who make our freedom possible. Despite a government-wide tweet-fest over Pride Month, most of them ignore Memorial Day altogether.

Not to be outdone, education officials decided to change their government seal to the “progress, pride” flag, paying special homage to transgenderism—while the Marines, Air Force, and Space Force hyped everything from rainbow bullets to astronauts “queering” the moon.

The Biden administration is operating under a demonic delusion that it is working to make the government more reflect the American people. At this stage, the left can only work to make the US look more like Sodom and Gomorrah.

They want to achieve diversity by hiring people who represent the rainbow flag. If they give a job to a transexual, they should then employ 100 straight guys. We could have 30% of an agency identify as queer, and it still wouldn’t be enough.

Elon Musk is a rare island of sanity on most issues. He celebrated the first day of pride month by promising to lobby against child genital mutilation. “This is a major problem. I will be actively lobbying to criminalize making severe, irreversible changes to children below the age of consent. Shame on those who advocate this! It is utterly contemptible,” he said.

I have no personal issues with gay people. If they think God endorses their lifestyle, that’s between them and their creator. The problem comes when they demand that everyone endorse their sexual practices. Colorado baker Jack Phillips has lost two major cases because he refuses to bake a cake with a homosexual theme.

No one should be forced to create something that violates their fundamental beliefs. It would be crazy to think that a Nazi could go into a Jewish bakery and demand that they make him a cake that looks like the crematoria at Auschwitz. Christians can be compelled to violate God’s law because the promotion of evil is one of Satan’s highest priorities.

It just shows how far America has fallen when we have a whole month dedicated to celebrating sexual immorality. Soon every day will be Pride Day. The Bible warns that when a society is at a certain stage of perversion, he will lift his hand of protection, and it will die of self-destruction.

“Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error” (Romans 1:24-27 NIV).

It is really becoming a major wonderment as to why so many political leaders are profoundly feeble-minded. If someone is going to be a leader, they need to have the mental capability to fit their demanding job.

During the last decade, the American people have increasingly put into office people who are more and more incompetent. Some of them could not operate a hot dog stand, and yet they are given roles that control the fate of our nation.

The new norm is that it’s natural for the US president to speak in gibberish. The liberal media knows that there is something wrong with President Joe Biden, but they ignore it because they only care about power. Since Biden does not write the words on his prompter, we may have freshmen interns setting policy for the executive branch.

Putin must reflect at least once a week on the reality that America’s nuclear arsenal is controlled by someone who is senile. It would be my hope that a guy who probably spends 10 minutes each day deciding what flavor of jelly to put on his toast would have some level of oversight.

If Biden is taken out, I had hoped that some other group would also have the launch codes. In the United States, a single person is authorized to make the decision to use a nuclear weapon—the president. Biden is not required to consult with any advisors before issuing a launch order. No one in the Defense Department, Congress, or the judicial branch can lawfully prevent the use of nuclear weapons once the president’s order is given.

Of course, in the event of a true emergency, someone would be moving the vice president to one of those aforementioned command facilities, though not the same one as the president. That is so, in the event the president was taken out, the VP could be quickly entered in as acting-President and go through the process of selecting a new presidential code.

We don’t have hours to put the VP into power. In a 500-missile emergency of a Russian submarine attack, we may only have 10 minutes to act. The nightmare scenario in my mind is Biden’s staff screaming at him to issue the launch codes, and he just stares into space and says, “I could really go for two scoops of vanilla ice cream right now.”

California Senator Dianne Feinstein has been in the news because she has gummed up the Senate Judiciary Committee by not being in Washington DC. She is 89 years old and has health issues. She has rebuffed calls for her to not just temporarily remove herself from her Committee role but step down from her job entirely before her term is up in 2024.

I would hope that she would step aside for the sake of the nation. The truth is that there are several people who need to retire because they are simply too old for the job. Some of the people required to force Feinstein out of office are near to her same age.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi appeared to imply that she thinks calls for Feinstein to resign over her vote absences on health grounds are sexist. Since Pelosi suffers from similar drawbacks to her health, sexism is going to be used rather frequently.

Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnel is a legislator I wish would resign. He has messed up enough races in his own party to give control of the Senate to the Democrats. Voters keep sending him back because they want government money that he can bring to the state. What may be good for Kentucky has been a disaster for the nation.

The election of Penn. Senator John Fetterman set a new low in a person’s willingness to elect mentally challenged people. He cannot function as a normal person. It may sound harsh to say, but he is nothing but a puppet that says words that are printed out for him.

If they had pulled Howdy Doody out of mothballs in the Detroit Institute of Arts and ran him in Fetterman’s place, it may have been an improvement. Soon after coming to the office, Fetterman had to seek mental health treatment to combat depression caused by his stroke.

Hillary Clinton currently does not hold any public office. In 2016 we nearly had her as president. The only factor that saved us was that she was such a nasty person that the American people decided to go with Donald Trump.

The reason why we have so many mentally challenged people in office is that we are getting the type of people we deserve. As our nation loses its morality, we are led by people who reflect our weakness.

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn” (Proverbs 29:2).
