Babylon Bee again: 10 Best Ways To Celebrate Pride Month
"Pride Month begins on June 1 and lasts until either homophobia is destroyed or the first day of July—whichever comes first. Here are some great ways to celebrate:
1) Repent - The best thing you can do during Pride Month, or any month.
2) Read all the verses in your Bible that mention pride - Then, repent again.
3) Participate in the ceremonial exchanging of the Ukraine flag profile pic for the rainbow flag profile pic - It is a time-honored tradition.
4) Buy a Mustang - Become an honorary gay.
5) Put some frogs in water treated with government chemicals - This will make them gay.
6) Use the urinal right next to another dude - Don't make it weird; just do it.
7) Reclaim the rainbow as a symbol of God's promise to never flood the earth again - Then be really annoying by complimenting all the gay people for embracing the Noahic covenant.
8) Listen to some gay artists like George Michael, Elton John, or Maroon 5 - This will show you are an ally.
9) Go to your local library and host a "Sodom and Gomorrah Genesis 19 Reading Hour" for the little ones - We must honor our LGBTQ history.
10) Repent one more time just to be sure - You can't be too careful when you're living in a nation that blatantly defied God for decades after He blessed her and made her into the most prosperous nation on earth!
Shafer: Preacher Joe needs to hang up his collar and start being president
That Time Biden Sided With the NRA, Said Bad Guys Will Get Guns 'With or Without Gun Control'
One of my “favorite” characteristics of liberals is how they “evolve” on key issues. And by “evolve,” I mean how brazenly they do complete 180s after sticking their wetted fingers in the political wind, and when they believe the time is right, they turn on a dime. Like Hillary Clinton “evolving” on same-sex marriage — within the first 72 hours of her 2016 presidential run. Or in this case, Joe Biden’s views on gun control.....
Hot Air "To whom did Joe Biden aim his Thursday night address on gun control? Politico’s Jack Shafer can’t figure it out either, except to conclude that Preacher Joe may have only desired to sermonize to the choir. Not only did Biden not offer anything substantively new in an extraordinary prime-time address, Biden made clear that he’s only interested in the choir:
It’s hard to imagine that any of the gun rights faithful were swayed by Biden’s talk, as he provided no new argument for the cause of gun control, and aside from the recent examples of gun massacres, no new compelling data. As a veteran horse-trader from his years in the Senate, Biden knows all about high-stakes compromise, negotiation and persuasion. If the speech contained a persuasive lesson about gun control, it must have been written in code. Although Biden directed his comments primarily to the citizenry, he also appealed to members of the Senate Republican minority — the people he must reach in order to pass such new, politically ambitious measures. But nothing in his call to action showed the slightest promise of moving them; it provided them no political reward for switching. Biden neither menaced the Republican senators with threats nor caressed them with promises or compromises that might have split off a Republican supporter or two. Unless you are already one of Pastor Biden’s congregants, his words, his expression of sorrow and his emotional pleading came across as the usual Democratic Party white noise. Filled with good intentions that he drove into a semantic dead end, Biden sounded like a bad Aaron Sorkin speech. Why did he even bother with his address?
"Is there such a thing as a good Aaron Sorkin speech? I kid, I kid, as I enjoy much of Sorkin’s work. This speech did remind me of one particularly bad Sorkin speech at the end of The American President, in which Michael Douglas’ character reveals himself as a gun-grabber in what is supposed to be a heroic moment:"
In Biden's Walter Mitty dreams he sees the press standing in awe of his words like this. TD
Is Pride Month over yet?
Bookworm Room
"Lately, every month is LGBT propaganda month but, come June, you can’t escape the relentless drumbeat. This post looks at the drumbeat and lots of other things, too."
A Democrat finally says out loud what they all think about the Constitution
As a reminder, the Second Amendment isn’t for deer hunting or trap shooting. It exists to protect individuals from their government—and, as I never tire of reminding people, nothing is more dangerous than a government that turns on its people.

"The Democrats have made it plenty clear over the years that they don’t like the Constitution as written. They hate free speech, a free press, religion that is free from government intervention and, most of all, the Second Amendment and its clear recognition of every citizen’s inherent right to bear arms. Unable to change these principles, they opt for imaginary rights (e.g., abortion, same-sex marriage) and dream of packing the Supreme Court to circumvent the intentionally cumbersome amendment process. But they always pay lip service to the Constitution. That is, until Rep. David Cicilline (D. R.I.) spoke openly about his contempt. He is to be praised for his honesty.
"The occasion for Cicilline’s outburst was, of course, debate about the Democrats’ latest effort to use ordinary legislation (as opposed to the amendment process) to curtail Americans’ Second Amendment rights. More specifically, Cicilline was outraged that anybody would think there was a constitutional problem with proposed federal red flag laws." . . .
It’s Time to Drop the Word 'Homophobia'
"Let’s be clear: “homophobia” is a made-up word. It never existed throughout human history. But then one day, a guy imagined a word that meant “an irrational fear of gayness,” and liked it. He wrote it down, published it, and it was off to the races. "
. . ."Real phobias are treatable with systematic desensitization. They’re treatable by gradually exposing a person to whatever they’re afraid of. When someone can be exposed without “excessive” anxiety (note the lack of precision in the word “excessive”), the phobia has been successfully treated. The fear has been exposed as irrational and unnecessary.
"But “homophobia” doesn’t work like this.
"In many cases, it’s the opposite. The more certain individuals are exposed to all this, the more averse they become. There aren’t irrational fears, but at least in some cases, principles that are quite rational. (One exception can be children, who are still learning the rudimentary basics of life, and so are highly vulnerable—and gullible.)
"None of this offers reason to bully, shame, or depersonalize in either direction. There’s some room for healthy tolerance and mutual respect in these matters. Sexuality is a complex topic.
"But the word “homophobia” is poisoning the conversation. Instead of producing clarity and understanding, it inflames, confuses, and depersonalizes. It corrupts the possibility for genuine dialogue. It opens a portal for hatred to flow from one human to another. It also paves the way for the open persecution of anyone who hasn’t drunk the Kool-Aid of the Stalinesque narrative that powerful individuals are trying to shove down our throats.
"But even more, the word is psychobabble.
"It’s time we stopped using it."
