…what a woman is

Less than 100 years later…:

An Episcopal priest in New York City declared that Jesus is “transgender” and told the congregation that if they deny this, they are denying the “divinity” of Christ.

Reverend Flourish Klink, who considers herself a transgender nonbinary individual, made the outlandish assertions during a recent sermon at Christ & St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church.

“God is non-binary. God is non-binary, but I’m going to go further than that, and I’m going to say God is actually also trans,” Klink said. “And now let’s get on the same page here. When we trans people are born, folks assign us a gender based on what they see. Then, when we’re old enough, we realize that that wasn’t right, and we’re not in our deepest selves the gender that everybody thought we were.”

On a side note I was reading William Bradford’s History of the Plymouth Colony today and it’s really funny to see that even as early as the 1600’s not only did the various protest denominations not get along but the Puritans in Holland who had fled England were not getting along with the Puritans who remained in England as the Papal envoy in Holland put it at the time: (translated from the Italian).

The Puritans are also tolerated—those even purer and more rigid Calvinists who refuse to acknowledge any authority—including the Puritans from England who frequent Holland and the other United Provinces for the sake of trade. Almost all the English Puritans in Amsterdam are there for the same reason, and some likewise reside in the city of Middelburg in Zeeland for commercial purposes. Thus, from every part—indeed, from every corner—of the United Provinces, one hears their sectarian clamor.

This is human nature, once you decide you know best you don’t just decide you know better than the church, you decide you know better than everyone else.

The breeze seemed to come out of nowhere. When she turned around she heard the loud noise and screeching that her mother had described as a child and then saw the shape of the blue box, the words “Police Public Call Box” at the top.

It was a story that had been both true and unreal, a painful story in the last few years after hearing about her brother’s encounter but she never expected to see herself as a part of it.

The only thing she expected less was the sight of two women she didn’t know inviting her in.

Five September Thoughts Under the Fedora: Greenland, A Great Incentive , First Amendment Reality, Russian Noises and The Election Comes Closer

So let me get this straight. We now have full military control of Greenland, independent of what happens with NATO and veto power over any other power doing a thing in the Island.

We have this without condition, without payment and without any responsibilities of the governance, and the press wants to pretend this is no big deal?

The best deal is the one where you get what you want and the other guy thinks they’ve pulled one over you. This is classic Trump.

No wonder the press is pissed.

The Washington Examiner is reporting that illegal immigrants are being increasingly deported to third world countries.

I can’t think of anything that might provide an incentive for people to decide to self deport or to not pay a coyote to smuggle into America.

I have no idea how accurate this report is but if I was Trump I’d spread this far and wide as the deterrent effect shold be considerable.

The text of the First Amendment is as follows:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

It says absolutely nothing about allowing CNN, MSNOW & Politico access to the president inside the White House.

All three “news” organizations are free to report whatever they want & present it however they want. When that stops, call me.

Russia seems to be making threatening noises in the direction of NATO countries and the Baltic states.

In one respect it makes perfect sense, NATO countries have been aiding Ukraine defense against Russia and pressure on such states and covert actions against them is only to be expected.

But given Russia’s lack of success in Ukraine proper I don’t see how they are in a position to open up a front in the east when such a move might not only unite Europe against them but when it means fighting a Polish military that is solid, intact and has plenty of motivation historically to give them a bloody nose.

The real question nobody is asking is this: How desperate is Putin’s position in Russia?

The most desperate is position is the more likely he will do something stupid or risky to restore it. That more than anything else is the real danger and the wildcard in play.

I’ve reached a point where I’m not sure who to believe when it comes to what’s happening in the national races.

I’m pretty much resigned to Massachusetts not learning from it’s mistakes that driving people out of the state but the sheer amount of noise coming from all sides makes it practically impossible to figure out what is actually happening.

I suspect this is by design but the noise doesn’t matter because reality will eventually bleed through.

Let’s hope it’s a good one for the country.

The first surprise was seeing Dr. Summerfield standing next to the blue box in a place and time far away from where she expected. The second were the words she greeted her with.

“River we have an errand to run together I’ll explain inside.”

She read the instructions handed to her inside the control room. She was less annoyed by the reqeust than by the realization her assumption that her husband never knew when she would appropriate his ride for her own purposes was off.

“I hate him!” she said shaking her head.

Bernice smiled “No you don’t.”
