Saturday Sanity Check

Friday April 8

Politicians love a good zinger … a pithy one-liner that shows off their superior wit while, at the same time, humiliating an opponent.

The lines are rehearsed over and over and then used in a press conference in hope that the sound-bite will make the Six O’Clock News.

So Australian Opposition leader Anthony Albanese was rehearsed and ready to go on Friday when journalists asked when he thinks the PM will call the election.

Albo’s eyes lit up. This was the moment to deliver his zinger …

"I've got to say, I feel like putting in a phone call to the Prime Minister, if he doesn't know where the Governor General lives, and offer him a lift to The Lodge to call this election."

Boom!

Drop the mic!

Well done Albo! Except that the Governor General doesn’t live at The Lodge, he lives at Admiralty House. The Lodge is the Prime Minister’s Canberra residence.

His zinger was a fizzer.

Disney have decided they would rather groom children in sexual perversion than produce the wholesome family entertainment that made them great.

If you’ve not been following the story, here’s a quick summary.

The Republican run State of Florida has introduced a law making it illegal for schoolteachers to talk to young primary school children about sexual orientation or gender identity.

Gay activists, by which I mean the entire Democratic Party and the media, have labelled it the “Don’t Say Gay Bill” and complained that it targets LGBTQ kids by erasing their existence.

What it really does is deny LGBTQ activists the chance to groom small children. Which is why they are so angry.

I don’t have space to go into it here, but grooming children is incredibly important to the LBGTQ crowd. How else does a fringe minority ensure that they become culturally dominant than by grooming the next generation? But I digress.

So a bunch of gay Disney staff got upset that Disney had not campaigned against the Florida bill, and suddenly Disney executives - fearing the wrath of activists -  began promising to inject more gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered characters into their children’s programming.

We were quickly told that the next Toy Story movie, for example, would feature a gay kiss. Becasue we all know that’s what small children want to see. Right?

This video leak, from Disney CEO Bob Chapek is basically a hostage video.

He grovels and apologises for not having been a good enough LGBTQIA ally and promises that the LGBTQIA+ advisory board he has recently established will, from now on, set the moral tone for Disney.

Amazing. And even more so when you consider that in the same month Disney accuse Florida of being anti-gay, they launched streaming services in that super gay friendly utopia of Saudi Arabia!

The virus has spread to Australia and infected government bureaucrats.

The same illness that has rendered US Supreme Court nominees and UK politicians unable to say for sure what a woman is has now struck the Secretary of the Health Department here in Australia.

When asked to define a woman, former Chief Health Officer and now senior Health bureaucrat Professor Brendon Murphy replied that he would need to get advice from his department before answering.

I’m not even joking. Grab some popcorn and watch the comedy gold here.

Honestly, you can’t make this stuff up.

My friend Alexandra Marshall summed it up brilliantly: “The Australian Health Department had to take the definition of a #woman as a 'question on notice'. It was a perfect demonstration of how the people that tell us to 'trust the science' are held hostage by political activists. Science is handcuffed by politics. That is the truth.”

Monty Python’s take down of this rubbish (they were decades ahead of the curve) is timeless.

Tuesday April 5

Podcaster Joe Rogan made headlines by saying that transgendered swimmer Lia Thomas is making a mockery of women’s sports.

It seems to me that Joe Rogan is making a fortune by simply saying what normal people would say, and by reacting the way that normal people would react.

So few people are willing to be normal now - for fear of being cancelled or worse - that normality has become a kind of curiosity. Some people will make money from it.

Monday April 4

Prominent churchmen in the UK, including the former Archbishop of Canterbury, have written a letter to Prime Minister Boris Johnson arguing that the government’s ban on so-called Conversion Therapy should NOT exclude transgenderism.

In other words, these churchman are arguing it should be illegal to counsel a person out of lopping off their genitals and pumping themselves full of drugs in a bid to become the opposite sex.

You can read the letter here …

So church leaders have adopted the gospel of salvation through the "sacred journey" of identity or victimhood. Compassion for those with gender dysphoria is not achieved through such desperate attempts to be kind and relevant.

I’m not quite sure how removing breasts, uterus and genitals while undertaking a lifelong dependence on synthetic hormones is “a sacred journey to wholeness”.

And I’d love for these men and women of God to explain how it is that God keeps plopping the wrong-gendered souls into the wrong bodies.
