Here at our house we recently went through our books to give away some we didn't need or want. There was a big old coffee table book in the stack that sat there for months, since the thrift stores were closed and not taking donations. Yesterday we took it out of that give-away stack and put it back on the shelf. It is entitled, "The Civil War." We are keeping it because it is a record of actual horrific events that people are now completely ignoring. Therefore, it is all the more instructive and precious.
C.S. Lewis said, "Every uncorrected error and unrepented sin is, in its own right, a fountain of fresh error and fresh sin flowing on to the end of time." Did slavery in America go uncorrected and unrepented? Are we reliving over and over the same old sins and errors? Well, no. According to the founding documents of our country and the sacrifice of more than 600,000 lives and the abolition of slavery, it did not. At great cost slavery was institutionally corrected and repented of in an extremely dramatic way, probably unparalleled in the history of the world. When people deny this correction and blood atonement so to speak, they deny historical facts and the efforts and sacrifices of many noble and brave people.
The error and sin of slavery was corrected and repented of. But there are some uncorrected errors and unrepented sins flourishing today and being added upon with more errors and sins. We submit that there exist uncorrected errors and unrepented sins alive and prospering in America today, which errors and sins are flooding streets and minds of many Americans and causing a lot more harm and potential danger than any respiratory virus ever did.
First we want to say we believe the current racial argument and unrest to be a construct of leftist politicians, media moguls and "journalists," or the powers that be, those with great influence over ordinary people, who exploit the emotions and struggles of the masses to further their ends. If this sounds alarmist or conspiratorial, one needs only to review some history, ancient and modern, to see that it is nothing unusual or new. It is the nature of nefarious men, from individuals to groups to nations, to grab power over others, using whatever means they can imagine, with no concern for the welfare of those they manipulate. It is also the nature of good men to go bad once they attain some power. That is why America's unique government and constitution is so suited to that ongoing potential human problem, as a representative republic with its built-in checks and balances.
Present day systemic racism in America is a lie. It's the same sort of lie that has pushed the acceptance of radical feminism and abortion and homosexuality and transgenderism and global warming and an overblown corona virus on a gullible, fawning, conditioned public. "Those who surrender on one issue tend to surrender on others as well" (D. French).
To quote a statement from Hillsdale College, "There is a kind of virtue that is cheap. It consists of jumping on cost-free bandwagons of public feeling and winning approval by espousing the right opinion. The fact that very real racial problems are being cynically exploited for profit, gain, and public favor by organizations and people is impossible to overlook. Hillsdale College will continue to do the work of education in the great principles that are second only to divine grace, the solution to grave ills that beset our times." Thank you Hillsdale.
America is not a racist country. Individuals and certain regional areas may carry on old prejudices, but as a nation America has bent over backward to correct racial mistreatment and inequities. For all sorts of disingenuous reasons it has even greatly overcorrected, which has resulted in new problems. But the problems today concerning black communities are cultural rather than racist. There are murders and shootings happening within this group of people that far exceed any such white on black or police problems. And once again these certain whites feel it their responsibility to take care of blacks as if they are children. (There are more white BLM protesters than any other skin color.)
But it's worse than a lie. If you think about it, it's anti-Christ. As a country, America redeemed itself from the institution of slavery, which did not originate here. It redeemed itself and ought to be forgiven. All Americans, white or black, living today had nothing to do with slavery. The victim mentality felt by certain groups is systematically incited by those who have some ignorant, sad need to jump on a bandwagon or those who wish to maintain power over them.
Education systems, K-12, are beginning to add Black Lives Matter propaganda to their curricula. All sorts of monuments and statues of national figures, famous and infamous, are being vandalized and destroyed. Jesus Christ, whose gospel of repentance and forgiveness is the best answer to all of these ills, is next on the agenda.

If There is No Male and Female There is No SSA
If there is no male and female, there is no SSA.
No, we didn't say that. J.K. Rowling, writer of the Harry Potter series, a noted leftist, did. Yes, on June 6, 2020 she tweeted,
"If sex [male and female] isn't real, there is no same-sex attraction. If sex isn't real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn't hate to speak the truth."
"People who menstruate. I'm sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?"
She is getting all sorts of grief and backlash for voicing her thoughts, even from Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliff, the now pro-gay guy who made millions off of her. What a fair weather friend he turns out to be.
We don't agree with J.K. about a lot, but her books were very clever and imaginative and actually based on traditional values of good vs. evil and male and female, and her thoughts here are correct and important. You can't demolish the concept of the two biological sexes and then honestly insist there is such a thing as same-sex attraction, meaning male to male or female to female. It just disappears into thin air, if you think about it for a second. No male and female, no same sex persons to be attracted to each other. Here she is actually seeming to try to help gays, pointing out that they had better think about this trans thing and admit there is male and female or they themselves don't have a leg to stand on.
But LGBT activists and supporters have knee-jerk reactions to any thought or idea that limits or sheds actual light on their limitless ideology toward sexuality. All things are permitted in their world. Even things that are actually dangerous and things that make absolutely no sense.
So if there is no male or female, there is no same-sex attraction. To go further, if there is no male or female, you can't say there is opposite-sex attraction either (which you can bet some people would like to abolish). You can't say there is such a thing as trans as well, because that is a person of one of the two sexes going to great lengths to try to make him or herself over into the other of the two sexes. Male and female is the basis of all of it. There is no getting away from this reality. Boy or girl is the first thing parents want to know about their baby. As C. S. Lewis says, all evil is a perversion of something good.
We have said this before: it is a total obsession with sex (male and female) and human sexual behaviors that is at the foundation of the delusional and exploitive and hedonistic LGBT movement, which pretends to be merely about "sexual identity," and which at the same time ironically purports that male and female is merely a meaningless and hurtful social construct. Their entire platform is based on something they deny. It's a complete delusion. Smoke and mirrors. Phony wizardry.
This is how we can see that the societally approved "right" (or fatal principle as CSL called it) to designate oneself as whatever messed up or made-up gender one feels like adopting at any given time sets us up to watch the whole house come tumbling down. And we don't mean just traditional society. We mean everybody and everything. CSL called this the abolition of man, done by man himself. Yes, man is definitely capable of sweeping himself off the face of the earth in one way or another.
We have wondered why women especially in general don't rise up against the trans nonsense. As per J.K., she knows that male humans never never never experience menstruation, for example, which monthly event is serious and not particularly fun for women for decades of their lives, from adolescence to menopause. Menstruation is a big personal responsibility, and it is an insult and an affront to all females that society would wholeheartedly accept and celebrate males pretending to be females---for this reason alone. Yes, menstruation is a very big deal for females. It means they are healthy and can have babies, which is all part of a mysterious realm males will never understand or experience no matter how hard they pretend or contrive. And the fact that they pretend and that others pretend to believe them is very sad.
There is male and female. J. K. Rowling knows it. And whether or not in the future she pretends to apologize for holding and sharing her now revolutionary ideas, she knows that's what makes the world go 'round.And what makes her books sell.
