Hello, readers.
It seems like we’ve reached a point of no return. Or maybe not? For many fathers, weekends revolve around chores, church, and family time.
As for libraries across the globe…
Current Political Debate
There’s an ongoing discussion in the national political arena about the ethics of targeting terrorists.
First off, is it permissible to shoot? And if one doesn’t act immediately, does that justify a second chance to shoot later?
The case details aren’t particularly complex. The administration thought it had spotted a drug cartel vessel en route to the U.S. Instead of risking a hazardous intervention by the coast guard or navy, they opted for air strikes. This choice stemmed from the State Department labeling these cartels as “terrorist organizations,” which allows for various deterrent measures.
This designation invites debate. Sure, the accuracy of the intelligence can be questioned, but a few facts remain undeniable.
- These weren’t just fishermen enjoying a day out, despite some media outlets suggesting so.
- It’s entirely acceptable to use lethal force against identified terrorist entities involved in smuggling drugs, weapons, and other dangerous items across borders.
There are ongoing efforts to implement something termed a “double tap”—that’s a follow-up attack if the initial one fails to neutralize the target and the officer deems it necessary.
We have no idea how much air combat footage exists of these military tactics targeting terrorists. The objective is clear: eliminate all threats.
Even Rep. Dan Crenshaw, who has no real reason to support Trump, mentioned, “I can’t recall a single instance in our counterterrorism operations where we hit a target and thought, ‘Oh no, we have survivors. We can’t engage further.’ Of course, we went after them.”
That’s the reality.
Yet, there’s been a noticeable effort from Democrats and allied media to frame the act of killing all terrorists as somehow abnormal.
Take, for instance, Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker. He referred to being a wife and mother as a “calling” during a speech to graduates, sparking outrage from the political left. The NFL had to distance itself from his comments.
Marriage and parenting as a “vocation” are deeply rooted in Christian beliefs, and Butker received a warm reception from the audience. So, what’s the big deal?
It’s perfectly normal to marry and have children at a young age. Attending church is typical. Following the law is expected. Contributing positively to society is just what people do. It’s normal to see men being masculine and women embracing their femininity.
What’s not typical, however, is military personnel defying civilian authority, as some Senate Democrats have recently done. It’s also unusual to call for a military coup, as Sen. Mark Warner appeared to do.
What about supporting organizations that openly advocate for dismantling the traditional family structure while promoting riots? That’s certainly not common. And expecting everyone to achieve identical results in life? Not typical either. It’s strange to have a man dressed in women’s clothing reading to kindergarteners or adults parading naked in front of kids.
It isn’t normal for violent criminals to dominate public spaces, yet here we are, with numerous arrests made and criminals still roaming free. It’s shocking that incidents of violence occur on public transport, or that a business near the White House would secure its doors with magnetic locks.
Over the past ten years, there’s been a noticeable push from liberal elites to normalize abnormal behavior while marginalizing what’s considered typical. This targeting extends even to the Catholic community, which has faced scrutiny for “extremism.” Similarly, pastors praying outside abortion clinics have been confronted at home during family dinners.
And then there’s “polycules”—people in multiple partnerships—getting highlighted in mainstream media. How many genders are there now? More than 70? Since when did it become acceptable for prestigious universities to admit students who haven’t even read a book?
In recent years, every fringe movement or individual has found support from the political left. They even backed Jacob Blake, despite his troubling actions. The treatment of George Floyd was elevated to almost heroic status, and there’s been significant advocacy for illegal immigrants possibly involved in criminal trafficking.
If you challenge the sexual content taught to young children, be prepared to face backlash. Oppose race-based policies, and you’ll find yourself labeled a racist. Protest abortion outside clinics, and the FBI may pay you a visit.
Of course, allowing a man with a controversial past into a girls’ locker room during swimming lessons? That’s not shocking, right? Naturally, fewer police officers on the streets is just how things are headed. And labeling the act of killing terrorists as a war crime? Well, that’s the new narrative.
Of course.
All of this seems aimed at intimidating and alienating regular people, almost to demoralize them.
Dear reader, remember, it’s not just me saying this. Don’t let the loud voices of those attempting to redefine our standards of normalcy confuse or scare you.
Ultimately, the good will prevail. I sincerely believe the number of individuals embracing traditional values will always outnumber those promoting abnormality.
