June 25, 2023: Give Us Something To Be Proud Of
The question of where we find self worth recently came up in discussion within my Friendtorship Cohort group. I shared with them a conversation my husband and I had about seeking external sources for self worth and how ultimately that is a dangerous place to exist, as anything external to us is fleeting and can be taken from us in an instant. Leaving us feeling like ships adrift in a sea of meaningless existence. Those who find worth solely within their careers are left void of purpose at retirement or when they experience a job loss. Moms who singularly find worth in raising their children have no idea who they are when their children move away from home. Those like me who seek comfort, creativity or escape through substances like alcohol, drugs, food, porn, shopping or gambling sooner or later realize there is no comfort to be found but only more loneliness and longing.
Seeking to fill internal voids from external sources is a mainstay of human behavior. What we lack within - peace, fulfillment, joy, meaning and self worth, we attempt to find outside of ourselves. Shopping, scrolling, binging, buying - consuming everything in excess, in a desperate attempt to fill the hole within us - to no avail. We’re looking in the wrong place.
This search for self worth is at the heart of the cultural confusion we are witnessing all around us. From political identification to gender transitioning, we have gone well beyond seeking worth in the material and are clinging to ideology. Finding our identity in a group rather than within ourselves. But if we can just point out how wrong everyone else is, we will feel better about ourselves. Marginalizing and engaging in an Olympics of oppression to prove to others and ourselves how relevant we really are. Except we’re not and the group with which we identify will ultimately fail to fill the void too.
Self worth cannot be found in a political party, sexual preference, racial group, gender or economic class. Self worth doesn’t come from your outward appearance, internal plumbing, bank account balance, a blue checkmark by your name or a label on your shirt. It comes from one place and one place only - who you are as a human.
What Exactly Are We Supposed To Be Proud Of
As Pride Month winds down, I pose this question to all of those who believe they are deserving of an entire month of celebration - what exactly are you doing that we are supposed to be so proud of? It’s not an attack, it’s a valid question. While I fully support the importance of acknowledging historically marginalized people and for those who showed bravery and valor in battles for both our freedom and social progress, I draw the line at one day. Nobody is worth celebrating for a month - nobody. There should be no birthday months, birthday weeks, or any other celebration of a single person beyond one day.
What started out as a nod to those who faced the challenge of revealing themselves as gay to a society (and often times friends and family) who sadly were not accepting of them has been hijacked by freaks and zealots who are simply demanding attention. Accept everything they say and do or face the consequences of cancellation, censorship and being labeled xenophobic, transphobic, a bigot or any other punishment they choose to inflict upon you.
As
so eloquently describes in his recent Spectator article titled, “The Diversity Trap,”In the hands of a new generation, ‘live and let live’ has turned into ‘believe what I believe’
The irony of it is hardly tolerable. Those who have defined themselves as the epitome of diverse, outside the norm and liberal are the people demanding everyone think the same as they do.
Butcher Shops In Place of Candy Shops
While the social and cultural consequences of the new religion of transgenderism are sure to sort themselves out, the health consequences sadly will not.
was one of the first people on the scene, back in 2020, to bring much needed attention to the alarming rate of teenage girls suddenly identifying as transgender in her book, Irreversible Damage. (An absolute must-read) Since then, the rate of what is being referred to as ‘gender-affirming care’, a nice spin on what is actually child butchery, has sky-rocketed. In yet another example of how we seem to believe the human body is something we can break into parts and manipulate to our liking and convenience, gender affirming care is being sold to parents and their children as something you can stop and start without lasting repercussions. As if puberty is something with a pause button you can hit while deeply confused and often unhappy kids try to figure out who they are (clearly without much real guidance from their parents.) The truth is, there are lasting and irreparable consequences of hormone manipulation for kids who aren’t capable of driving a car, let alone making decisions that will forever alter their bodies. Increased depression, infertility, loss of bone density, mood disorders, hypertension, venous thromboembolism, and a host of other health implications, leaving a staggering 89% of young people physically sick during their “gender journey.” Even the ever more woke American Association of Pediatrics revealed a study back in 2018 showing a shocking rise in suicide rates amongst transgender teens. We all intuitively know this wrong, yet it appears parents and healthcare professionals have turned over the health and safety of our children to the political ideology they’ve assumed. is a valuable source of knowledge on the reality of this medical nightmare that future generations to come will look back on with absolute horror and disbelief.
If you aren’t personally impacted by this phenomenon you may be ignoring the issue altogether. I strongly urge you to stop ignoring it. As
explains in her latest article, the tide isn’t going to turn or the pendulum swing the other way. “We are up against a clock of more and more gender evangelists graduating medical school, law school, obtaining degrees in social work and ascending to the bench.”It appears our youth are seeking their souls in the secular religion of gender identity. A place they aren’t going to find it.
Just Let Us Watch Sports
It appears baseball fans aren’t exactly interested in supporting an "order of queer and trans nuns" who promotes human rights, community service and spiritual enlightenment. Big surprise. And it wasn’t just the Christian Right that turned up their noses to the blasphemous freaks making a mockery of their religion as the main stream media would have you believe. Nor was it that the stands were empty due to protestors blocking the entrance to the game. As if there were tens of thousands of fans trying to get to the game but those pesky 1000 right-wing protestors got in the way. People just want to watch a sporting event and not have some fringy social issue thrown in their faces. Let’s hope the L.A. Dodgers learned a lesson on the consequences of acquiescing to the woke mob.
Sloppy Joe Must Go
If I were going to list the things that make Joe Biden unfit to be President, I would have to start a new publication devoted to the mission but I’d rather eat the wax out of the old man’s ears than give this buffoon more of my time than I already have to. From falling in the slightest breeze to outrageous verbal bursts like, “God save the queen, man!” this guy is a complete defacement of the U.S. Presidency.
The U.S. flag does not take second fiddle to the pride flag. Topless men pretending to be women do not belong on the White House lawn and Americans are not going to take kindly to Hunter getting a sweetheart deal.
While I must admit, his plans to travel back in time to 2020 to preserve 30% of parks and lands and his proposed construction of a railway from the west coast of the United States through the Indian Ocean do sound intriguing, I think it’s time for us to come back to reality. If Democrats can keep themselves from eating their own, and free themselves from the bondage of TDS and ideological capture, we have a viable solution.
Hell Froze Over
In order to aid in the attempt to save the Democratic party from themselves, I officially registered as a Democrat this week. So did my husband and so should you if you want Joe Biden out for good. As a life-long Republican, I left the Republican party last year because I have no doubt they are as useless in restoring our country to sanity as those on the left. Until RFK Jr. announced his candidacy, I really didn’t see a viable solution to the totalitarian landslide we are caught up in. While I never believed I would call myself a Democrat, I now proudly call myself a Kennedy Democrat.
For those willing to go through the hassle of critical thinking, there is no doubt in my mind you will be onboard with his message. It is one of hope, unity, truth and traditional American pride and values. And if you don’t align with his thinking, at least learn first-hand, for yourself why you don’t agree with him. The inability to defend your beliefs makes you a mental midget.
I believe he can win but it is going to take Democrats willing to disconnect themselves from sound bites calling him a conspiracy theorist and anti-vaxxer. It is going to require everyone to educate themselves by listening to what he has to say.
Considering the amount of people who want to shut him up, this won’t be easy. Even though public health officials like the giggly, jolly bow-tied puppet Dr. Peter Hotez have a moral authority to publicly debate Kennedy if they believe so strong he is spreading disinformation, you aren’t going to see it. Not even when there is over $2M up for grabs towards his favorite charity. The mere fact we are living in a time when an American running for President cannot speak publicly because they ask questions is reason for you to listen to what he has to say. And that’s exactly what is happening. Traditional liberal values require it of you.
The Democratic party historically believed in the fair exchange of ideas, looking out for the environment and the middle-class, holding large corporations like big pharma accountable and spreading peace throughout the world. The Democratic party of late promotes censorship, refuses to engage in the free debate of ideas, supports the mutilation of children, endorses forever wars like those unfolding in the Ukraine under the guise of humanitarianism and blindly accepts corrupt industries like big pharma, ignoring the fact that industry has paid out more in criminal fines than any other industry in history.
Lets collectively bring back the respectable Democratic party.
And for those Republicans who can’t imagine the idea of voting for a Democrat, you have to decide - do you get your self-pride from your political affiliation or from being an American?
We are at a crossroads as a society. We have to decide where we get our self worth and what we do to make ourselves and others proud. There is a simple litmus test to determine whether or not you are on the right track.
Is what you are doing making your life and the lives of others better? Is how you behave bringing you peace within? Are the people you support making the world a happier and healthier place to live? Bottom line, is what you are doing working?
If not, change that.
