5 encouraging cultural trends in 2022

Wednesday, December 28, 2022, 4:20 pm | Randy Thomasson

With so much bad news (which is what invariably happens when people don’t obey the Word of God), are you ready for some good news?

Here are 5 encouraging cultural trends I’ve noticed this year:

Now, it’s a fact that all five upward trends are in response to the pain of the Tyrannical Left: Reaction to “transgender treatments” and drag queen shows for kids; reaction to awful Democrat bills at the U.S. Capitol; reaction to unconstitutional censorship of free speech; reaction to unscientific Covid tyranny; and reaction to the non-academic, godless government schools.

And because the White House Occupant will be there two more years, I expect more good reactions to pain in 2023 and 2024!

ACTION: Tell off Mattel for pushing ‘transgenderism’ on kids

It’s a biological fact there are only 2 sexes — male and female. If you’ve inherited a Y chromosome from your biological father, you’re male; if not, you’re female. To reject this is to reject science, health, humanity, history, Creator God, and safeguards for children.

You’ve heard about Mattel’s war on girls (Mattel owns the “American Girl” brand). Now here’s something you can do about it:

Stories of adults who regret their lie-based “sex change”

According to Laidlaw, the puberty blockers are just the first step for gender-confused children in this so-called “gender-affirming” treatment. The next step is giving them opposite-sex hormones, and finally, surgery to remove or alter genitalia. These children used to be treated with counseling. “Until very recently, these children and adolescents were supported and cared for with counseling,” endocrinologist Dr. William Malone told The Christian Post. “With counseling, or even watchful waiting, an average of 85% of these children would have a resolution of their distress by early adulthood. There are currently 10 studies in the medical literature demonstrating this.” Yet in recent years, a radical shift has occurred from counseling to what is called “gender affirmative care.” In fact, the World Health Organization no longer considers gender dysphoria a “mental disorder.” In May of this year, the WHO removed “gender identity disorder” from its list of diagnoses. Dr. Laidlaw told the Post the Endocrine Society, Pediatric Endocrine Society, and the American Academy of Pediatrics have been taken over by the most radical elements of the profession. “These radical trans activists were involved in writing the Endocrine Society guidelines in 2009 and 2017. These are low to no quality evidence guidelines, and anyone can read for themselves the poor evidence they have for these treatments for children and adolescents. There is no long-term evidence for benefits for these treatments,” Laidlaw stressed.

Horror and hope: H.R. 8404 passes, but can be overturned

If, like me, you’re grieving about the Democrats’ and RINOs’ attack upon God’s beautiful design of marriage and family, there’s hope that H.R. 8404 and more will be overturned.

Thank you if you called Republican representatives in response to SaveCalifornia.com’s alerts. We had to try, because Republicans were receiving pro-family “heat” in other states. And indeed, despite voting anti-family this summer when H.R. 8404 first passed the U.S. House of Representatives, several of these Republicans did NOT vote for it today.

First, the bad news: Among California’s 11 Republican U.S. representatives, 5 are either secret sexual anarchists or they’re so afraid of “LGBTQIA+” activists, they’ve joined them.

Demonstrating they are truly tone-deaf to pro-family citizens’ telephone calls, voting for the tyrannical, sexual anarchy bill H.R. 8404 TWICE (both December 8 and July 19) are “Republicans” Darrell Issa, Jay Obernolte, Ken Calvert, Mike Garcia, and David Valadao.

Like the New Communist Democrats, these “Republicans” are now confirmed domestic enemies of real marriage, children’s innocence, state’s rights, and constitutional religious freedom. They don’t care that H.R. 8404 forces “child bride” and “transgender” marriages upon all 50 states. See the Dec. 8, 2022 roll-call vote

But now, the good news: You can bet this will be challenged and go to the U.S. Supreme Court, where there’s actually a good chance to overturn H.R. 8404 because it violates 3 things the Constitution protects: religious freedom, states’ rights, and marriage jurisdiction.

As the constitutional attorneys at Liberty Counsel explain: “Although the House passed the ‘Respect for Marriage Act’ with a 258-169 vote that included 39 House Republicans, this action is a strategic blunder by advocates of same-sex marriage. Rather than a victory, the ‘Respect for Marriage Act’ will make easier the argument to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2015 5-4 opinion in Obergefell v. Hodges regarding same-sex marriage.”

Patience is needed as plaintiffs are either found or volunteer. As a case or cases wind through the federal courts, perseverance is especially required by religious small business owners. If you have a religious faith and are in the wedding business, please contact Liberty Counsel to explore joining a pro-bono lawsuit.

Bottom line, the House Democrats are against what’s right in God’s sight, the House Republicans hardly fought to protect us, yet the written Constitution still stands, and there might be 5 or even 6 Supreme Court justices willing to defend it. So, please stay in the battle!

“Put simply, no adult has a right to someone else’s child or another adult’s reproductive capacity. If they did, it would create obligations on the part of individuals and governments to supply sperm, eggs, and wombs to hopeful parents. But every child has a right to love and support from the mother and father who created him. … The prevailing wisdom today — rarely stated in explicit terms — is that children should be willing to sacrifice for our desires. This is exactly what happens when a child is deprived of maternal or paternal love so that adults can build the families of their dreams. Our national priority should be promoting a culture where men and women commit to one another and the families they build together, not creating fatherless (or motherless) children for the sake of adult fulfillment.”
