Prager Compares America’s ‘Drift to Totalitarian Speech’ to Communism

Evidence is growing that the so-called progressive left-wing of the Democrat party is touting Marxism. This article shows how their manipulation of language signals that move.

The American Left’s tendency to enforce its ideological speech codes reminds commentator and radio host Dennis Prager of the Soviet oppression of Jews, which he studied in his youth. He calls this phenomenon totalitarian and “nightmarish.”

Capitol Police Interrupt Children’s Choir Singing National Anthem: ‘It Might Offend’

The Capitol Police, reflecting the culture war, stopped a children’s choir as they sang the national anthem because it might offend whom? I’ve walked in our nation’s capitol building and would have felt goosebumps hearing youthful voices singing our anthem. What true American would find this offensive?

Capitol Police have come under scrutiny after stopping a children’s choir from singing the national anthem inside the U.S. Capitol.

According to Rasbach, the female officer went on to claim that multiple people had complained about the offensiveness of the anthem.

Rasbach explained to the Daily Signal that the choir was given permission to sing in the Capitol by Reps. William Timmons and Joe Wilson of South Carolina, as well as House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

The three lawmakers have since responded to the incident online, condemning the Capitol Police and reaffirming their support for the choir group.

U.S. Embassies Waste No Time in Rolling Out ‘Pride’ Month Displays for the World to See

Americans should be outraged by our nation’s leadership’s propagation of the LGBTQ narrative.

As June dawned around the globe, so did flags, making plain the Biden administration’s allegiance to the LGBT movement.

Multiple American embassies hoisted the rainbow-colored flag alongside the Stars and Stripes.

“The Department of State proudly works to promote and protect the human rights of LGBTQI+ persons around the world. We strongly oppose the ‘otherization’ of LGBTQI+ persons to justify authoritarian power grabs and attacks on institutions of democracy globally. Democracies are stronger when they celebrate the full rights and value of all persons, without discrimination,” the State Department posted in a statement on its website.

This ‘Pride’ Stuff Isn’t Healthy

Dennis Prager asks a brilliant question. What about being LGBTQ deserves recognition for pride? Don’t jump to conclusions about the answer. Read the essay. It is worth your time.

Group pride is a characteristic of all left-wing thought and activism.

The most recent incarnation of group pride is LGBTQ pride. Every company, every professional sports team, every Democratic politician, and even the armed forces and American embassies around the world are expected to celebrate Pride month, Pride night, and year-round LGBTQ Pride.

First, what exactly is one proud of? What accomplishment is involved in being gay, lesbian, or bisexual? Even “transgender” is allegedly built into one’s nature.

Isn’t the entire premise of the LGBTQ movement that one does not choose one’s sexual orientation or sexual identity? Wasn’t anyone who argued that homosexuality is a choice declared a hater and a science denier?

So, then, if no choice is involved, no effort on the part of the individual—let alone no moral accomplishment—what is there to be proud of? Maybe I couldn’t identify with Jewish pride over great Jewish athletes, but at least they all actually accomplished something.

Bud Light’s Brand Is So Trashed It Can’t Even Give Beer Away

Bud Light is not the only brand being punished for its acquiescence to the transgender agenda and support for Pride Month. Target, Kohls and other Woke companies are also feeling the pain.

Corporate executives should understand the signal from consumers and avoid these murky waters.

Not so. Over the weekend, a Fortune 500 company that prides itself in being “faith-based” (i.e. Christian) flauted Pride Month garbage on social media. The leadership of this company should brace for the pain to come.

It’s official: Anheuser-Busch can’t even give its product away for free after its transgender publicity stunt. According to images shared on Twitter, stores in the Midwest are attempting to “sell” cases of Bud Light beer for free before they get skunky on the shelves, with the company offering up to a $15 rebate on products sold this Memorial Day weekend.

 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)
