America’s Shadow Self
I lived in Southern California for five years and traveled throughout the state both before and after moving there. Since leaving in 1996, I’ve been back to California many times. My family enjoyed our time in the once “Golden State.” Scenic beauty, mountains, ocean beaches, booming cities, class entertainment in all forms, and opportunities for my business. But that has all changed and I don’t even want to visit the now dismal, leftist playground where the culture war is in full swing.
This essay documents how things now are in California.
Now the state has become America’s shadow self. True, it is more prosperous than ever, surpassing Germany last year to become the world’s fourth-largest economy. But Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, and smaller cities are today overrun by homeless encampments, which European researchers more accurately describe as “open drug scenes.” Crime has become so rampant that many have simply stopped reporting it, with nearly half of San Franciscans telling pollsters that they were a victim of theft in the last five years and a shocking one-quarter saying that they had been assaulted or threatened with assault.
Maryland Democrat Politicians Dismiss Peaceful Protesters at Drag Queen Event as Dangerous, Hateful
Something is terribly wrong with a nation when drag queens mingling with small children is a good thing. This is one recent example of the LGBTQ agenda run amok.
A Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH) perpetrated recently in very progressive Montgomery County, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C., suggests an intent to widen the scope of the strange events meant to deconstruct and obliterate male and female complementarity while destroying the innocence of young, vulnerable boys and girls.
Calgary Police Arrest Christian Pastor at His Home for Protesting at Children’s Drag Queen Event
Another report on the norming of the drag queen culture. This happened in Canada. How soon will it begin in the United States?
Christian pastor Derek Reimer was arrested Thursday afternoon by members of the Calgary Police Service (CPS) after being warned the previous day there were two warrants out for his arrest because he protested at a children’s drag queen story time at a public library last weekend.
FBI Tagged Pro-Life Americans as Threats After Supreme Court Overturned Roe
Are you pro-life? If so, both you and I are dangerous and threats to America. Well, in the culture war the FBI seems to think so.
An FBI whistleblower confirmed suspicions about the federal agency targeting pro-life advocates during a U.S. House subcommittee meeting Feb. 10, according to transcripts obtained by Fox News.
Speaking with the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, FBI Special Agent Garret O’Boyle said he became concerned when the agency shifted its focus on abortion-related threats to “pro-life adherence” in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling Dobbs v. Jackson, Fox News reports.
O’Boyle, who served in the FBI Kansas City Field Office, told lawmakers that the FBI created a special tag “THREATSTOSCOTUS2022” last year to monitor threats of violence in connection to Dobbs.
Parents Across the U.S. Outraged as More School Districts Approve ‘Satan Clubs’
If LGBTQ attempts to groom our children are not enough to frighten you, this may help turn up the heat.
More “After School Satan Clubs” backed by the far-left group The Satanic Temple (TST) are popping up in public school districts across the country, and with them community outrage.

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13
Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.
To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak. (Ephesians 6:10–20 ESV)
