I spent my 20s struggling with the morals of my traditional Catholic background and the overwhelming Jewish feminist influence of the world. It created a cognitive dissonance in my mind and a life of acting out as a ‘nasty’ woman, while simultaneously feeling bad. Although I had a Catholic upbringing, I still came from a dysfunctional and personality-disordered family with an emotionally absent father.

This background combined with the intense feminist influence in all realms had me looking for ‘hooking up’ to find a boyfriend and mate. I didn’t know how to actually date until I was 30 years old and spent enough time reading books to figure it out. The common culture of going to a bar and ‘hooking up’ was the culture that abounded.

THE color pink — at least the bright shade that has been adopted by feminists and that unfortunately is so prevalent in mainstream children’s clothing today — has become politically symbolic.

It stands for Girl Power.

It stands, at least in the minds of some of us, for self-glorification.

It stands for socialism and the expansion of the State.

It’s a small thing, and admittedly it won’t change the world. But try to avoid this once happy and cheerful color in your daughter’s clothing. Pink, used to nauseating excess in last weekend’s Women’s March, is normally identified with femininity, at least in the West. (In Japan, it has a masculine association, symbolizing warriors fallen in battle.) It’s a clever trick because the last thing these agitators are protecting is femininity.

Pink has also come to be dominant in manufactured clothing for girls in recent decades. The more masculine women are encouraged to become, the more they adopt certain forms of outwardly extreme femininity.

  "The March For Injustice" from Lifesound on Vimeo. ONE THING united all the women at the "Women's March." That thing is abortion.

PLENTY of Russophobia has been coming from the Democratic Party lately, but the answer is not Putin-worship. I provide the following links as food for thought. I do not necessarily endorse all the content (nor all the views of the writers mentioned), but offer these links to encourage you to educate yourself on the issue and adopt a healthy skepticism toward those sectors of the Internet that idolize Putin and see him as a solution to the West's decline.

FROM Lifesite News:

In his very first pro-life action, President Donald Trump signed an executive order today reinstating the “Mexico City Policy” banning government funding of foreign pro-abortion groups like the International Planned Parenthood Federation.

A cultural political football, the policy was first enacted by President Ronald Reagan in 1984 and was maintained by President George H.W. Bush until it was rescinded first by Democratic President Bill Clinton in 1993. Eight years later, President George W. Bush reinstated Mexico City and it was in effect until Barack Obama reversed it upon entering office in 2009.

The Mexico City Policy bans funding to organizations that perform abortions overseas or lobby for legalizing them in foreign nations. (more…)

IN A rare display of courage and common sense, an Italian Novus Ordo Archbishop, Monsignor Carlo Liberati, recently criticized the country's unrestrained welcome to Muslim migrants: "We help without delay those coming from outside and we forget many poor and old Italians who are eating from the trash. We need policies that take care of Italians first: our young people and the unemployed. “I am a protester. If I were not a priest, I’d be out there demonstrating in the squares. What is the point of so many migrants that instead of thanking for the food we give them, they just throw it, spend hours with their cell phones and even organise riots?” Liberati even accused the Catholic church of donating too much money to the recent migrants. "He said: “Giving money to migrants wandering around town is not only wrong, but morally harmful because we encourage their behaviour and they get used to that, not mentioning the fact that we already feed them."

  DAN R. writes: The "highlight" of the Women's March was probably the Ashley Judd rendition of "I Am a Nasty Woman," a spoken-word poem written by Nina Donovan, a 19-year old sociology major from Tennessee and a part-time worker at Dunkin' Donuts. Reading the words of this poem, the amount of politically-correct clichés compacted into a relatively small space is almost mind-boggling. Worse has been the enthusiastic reception by liberal women, at least some of whom you'd think might have second thoughts upon reading it. Here for your reference is a link to the complete transcript [vulgar language warning], obviously destined to become a milepost in "great" feminist literature.

MANY of you have probably already read of Trump’s press secretary, Sean Spicer, responding Saturday to false reports regarding the inauguration. But if you have not actually seen Spicer’s press conference, I highly recommend it. It is great to see someone challenge public lies in this way. (more…)

GOD of power and might, wisdom and justice, through you authority is rightly administered, laws are enacted, and judgment is decreed. Assist with your spirit of counsel and fortitude the President Donald Trump and other government leaders of these United States. May they always seek the ways of righteousness, justice and mercy. Grant that they may be enabled by your powerful protection to lead our country with honesty and integrity. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

A CANADIAN professor contends that some children swept up into the belief that they are not the right sex may be suffering from a form of autism.  To accept the thinking and wishes of those with [an autism disorder] at face value, without understanding why they feel the way they do, is not a kindness, and may in fact be extremely damaging.

FROM The Asian Correspondent: A FORMER FBI employee in New York was sentenced to two years in prison on Friday after admitting that he illegally acted at the direction of a Chinese official to gather sensitive information. Kun Shan Chun, also known as Joey Chun, was also ordered by U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero in Manhattan to pay $10,000 after pleading guilty in August to having illegally acted as an agent of a foreign government. “I’m so sorry,” a tearful Chun said in court. “I take full responsibility.” Chun, a U.S. citizen who was born in China, was arrested in March in connection with what prosecutors called a duplicitous betrayal of the FBI, which had employed him in its New York field office since 1997.

KATY HOPKINS was there. She writes for The Daily Mail (language warning):

I wanted to point out, respectfully, that democracy is the Electoral College system that saw Trump turn the map from blue to red. But there were a few million of them. And they had pictures of vaginas. So I decided this was not the time. (more…)

As reportedly hundreds of thousands of protestors and various celebrities, including Madonna, a true master of objectifying women if there ever was one, turned out yesterday for the Women’s March in Washington, D.C. and in cities across the country, some news sources reported that Trump will today sign an executive order ending the funding for foreign abortions that was initiated under Obama.

Let’s hope this is more than a rumor and that in the face of this massive display of incoherent hostility on the weekend of his inauguration, during which Americans normally join together to wish the best for a new president, Trump has the courage to act boldly and in the best interests of women everywhere.

Tea Partiers never said they wanted to blow up the White House (as Madonna did yesterday) nor did they come out in masses on Obama’s inauguration weekend.

PASTOR PAULA WHITE-CAIN was the most physically attractive and charismatic figure in the religious line-up at the Trump inauguration ceremony. In her bright red suit, the pretty Pastor White-Cain, with her pleasant Southern twang, asked that America be a “beacon” among the nations. Behind her, the smarmy “Cardinal” Timothy Dolan, who never said the words as he hastily made the sign of the cross before his own invocation from the Old Testament, nodded and raised his eyes to heaven as if he was at a revival meeting led by the female prophet who looked ever so much like a successful corporate executive.

The twice-divorced, thrice-married, wealthy Protestant celebrity preacher was the first woman “clergy member” included in an inauguration ceremony. She is host of the show “Paula Today.” The philosophy of her current home, the New Destiny Christian Center in Apopka, Florida, can be summed up in the words “Arise and Expand.” If one accepts the healing power of Jesus Christ and selectively reads the Bible, one is automatically saved — and prosperity is likely to follow. Here’s a video about New Destiny’s new video gaming room for children. Like many Protestant mega-churches, New Destiny is a community center and recreation club, as well as a place to get some God and the Bible as interpreted by a pastor with lots of personality. White-Cain is said to be Trump’s religious mentor.

Some evangelical Protestants objected to White-Cain’s appearance, accusing her of not representing authentic Christianity. They have no authority to condemn her. The Bible, so abstruse in places that even the greatest of thinkers and saints have struggled to understand it, is whatever you make of it in the religious free-for-all known as “Evangelical” Christianity.

Expect to see more of Pastor Paula, whose church is no more sacred than a strip mall, in the years ahead.

INAUGURATION DAY seemed mostly peaceful and upbeat. Many who have only heard what a hater Trump is from the media were probably surprised at his repeated insistence he will work for unity – a common theme of inauguration speeches. Trump projected great confidence and optimism. But the protestors were there, as reported by Washington Examiner:

On Friday thousands of protestors gathered in Washington, D.C. to protest the peaceful transition of power from one democratically-elected president to another. And it got ugly quickly.

Organized by the DisruptJ20 protest group, activists took aim at the alleged sexism and racism of the incoming administration. Practically speaking, that meant blocking security checkpoints, smashing windows, and torching at least one limousine outside the Washington Post building.

But while the media certainly gave them plenty of attention, the protestors probably won’t win much sympathy.

Families from flyover country were greeted to the nation’s capital with chants of “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA.” When short of breath, protestors opted for the more succinct, “F**k Trump!” One activist even decided to lecture a young Republican, screaming “don’t grow up and grab women by the pussies!” before his father covered his ears.

When words failed them though, protestors turned to rioting. Wearing black face masks, they smashed the windows of Starbucks, Bank of America, and a Bobby Van’s steakhouse a few blocks from Capitol Hill. Private business didn’t suffer all the damage, though. Suddenly enemies of public transport, liberal rioters trashed at least one bus stop—an indicator of the aimlessness of the whole thing. (more…)
