Sex attacks in Greenpoint, Brooklyn have skyrocketed 62 percent over the last year, DNAinfo reports, even as a NYPD police captain insists authorities are not “too worried” about the trend because only a few “were true stranger rapes.”

Police statistics show a total of 13 rapes and attempted rapes in the Brooklyn neighborhood in 2016. Of those reports, only three suspects have been charged.

Police officials said the unsolved cases are due to the fact that most of them were “acquaintance rape,” and many of the women who originally came forward declined to cooperate further.

Captain Peter Rose, head of the 94th Precinct which covers Greenpoint, said he wishes the department “could do more” to help victims, but he added ”it really becomes a balancing act for the investigators.”

“Some of them were Tinder, some of them were hookup sites, some of them were actually coworkers,” he said before insisting the department is relatively unconcerned about the dramatic increase in rape and attempted rape in the neighborhood.

“It’s not a trend that we’re too worried about because out of 13 [sex attacks], only two were true stranger rapes,” Rose said. At a Community Council meeting Wednesday night, Rose expanded on what types of rape he believes “are the troubling ones,” concluding that people who participate in “stranger rapes”—as opposed to acquaintance rape—have “like, no moral standards.”

“[The reported rapes are] not total abomination rapes where strangers are being dragged off the streets,” Rose told the meeting, according to DNAinfo. “If there’s a true stranger rape, a random guy picks up a stranger off the street, those are the troubling ones. That person has, like, no moral standards.”

Jane Manning, Director of Advocacy at the National Organization for Woman New York City chapter, took issue with Rose’s comments.

“The idea that ‘this isn’t some guy who’s dangerous to women,’ that in itself is a major window into the mentality that we are up against,” she told DNAinfo.

“If you have the commander of a precinct making comments like that, he’s setting a tone for all the officers of a unit about how seriously to take acquaintance rape cases,” Manning added.

God wants to control every single aspect of your life. If that’s not the definition of a control freak, then what is? The following is quoted from an article titled, “How To Deal With A Control Freak,” written by Judith Orloff, a psychiatrist at UCLA…

QUIZ: AM I IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH A CONTROLLER? (from Emotional Freedom)

Does this person keep claiming to know what’s best for you?

Do you typically have to do things his way?

Is he or she so domineering you feel suffocated?

Do you feel like you’re held prisoner to this person’s rigid sense of order?

Is this relationship no fun because it lacks spontaneity?

If you answer “yes” to 1-2 questions, it’s likely you’re dealing with a controller. Responding “yes” to 3 or more questions suggests that a controller is violating our emotional freedom.

*Note: Dr. Judith Orloff has been featured on CNN, The Today Show, Oprah Magazine and

Every one of these indications of a controller is true about God. If you try to obey the Bible, diligently, you’re going to feel smothered and a lack of fun. James 4:8-9 says if you want to draw nigh unto God, “Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.” It just makes you want to run right out and become a Christian doesn’t it?

Dr. Orloff goes on to state...

People who feel out of control tend to become controllers. Deep down, they’re afraid of falling apart, so they micromanage to bind anxiety.

God is 100% intolerant of what you think, or what you want to do, or what you feel if you’re violating His Commandments and Laws. For example: homosexuality. There is no place for gays in God’s kingdom, you’re not welcome if you’re a homosexual. God will cast you into the Fires of Hell forever if you die in your sins. Is God a controller? God’s in control of the universe, thankfully, whether you like it or not! I’m glad that God is a holy God, a good God, a fair God, a just God, a righteous God, the only true and living God, the God of the King James Bible, and a forgiving God full of grace and mercy!!! There is none like unto God, our Savior and Redeemer!

Quote# 123481

One of the ironies of the crackpot theory of "Evolution" TM, is that the deceitful dogma itself is always "evolving." Since the 1860's inception of Darwinian doctrine, mad scientists have bickered endlessly about how "Evolution" TM actually played out, never questioning the basic foundational assumption that life spontaneously, with neither reason nor guidance, emerged from non-life in the first place.

From Darwin's Origin of the Specious Species to the present day, the case for "Evolution" TM must, by necessity, rely upon the classic logical fallacies that are so evident to philosophers; yet completely invisible to arrogant "theoretical scientists" emotionally attached to a dogma disguised as "science." This idiotic article by renown "science journalist" and author Nicholas Wade is no different.

Haz Mat suits and goggle on. Into the "Primordial Soup" (or is it "deep sea vents" now?) we "wade" (corny pun intended).

"Shhhh, Mr. Wade. You must never tell anyone about the Anti-New York Times."

Wade: A surprisingly specific genetic portrait of the ancestor of all living things has been generated by scientists who say that the likeness sheds considerable light on the mystery of how life first emerged on Earth.

Rebuttal: Notice how it is already assumed, without evidence, that "all living things" have a common ancestor. (fallacy of assumed truth)

Wade: This venerable ancestor was a single-cell, bacterium-like organism. But it has a grand name, or at least an acronym. It is known as Luca, the Last Universal Common Ancestor, and is estimated to have lived some four billion years ago, when Earth was a mere 560 million years old.

Rebuttal: Mr. Wade, before you school us dumb plebes about Luca's birthplace, please prove to us that Luca even existed; and then prove how Luca "evolved" into other species; which in turned "evolved" and "evolved" millions of times into all current life forms. And by "proof," we mean observational evidence -- the very definition of the Scientific Method.

Wade: The new finding sharpens the debate between those who believe life began in some extreme environment, such as in deep sea vents or the flanks of volcanoes, and others who favor more normal settings, such as the “warm little pond” proposed by Darwin.

Rebuttal: Whatever happened to the "Primordial Soup" TM theory?

You see, these erudite eggheads love to "debate" endlessly over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, without ever demonstrating that there were actually any angels dancing on the pin, at all!

"Luca! We have you surrounded. Come out of that sea vent with your flagella up. And don't try any of that binary fission business"

They found little Luca in the deep sea, not the Primordial Soup as had once been theorized.

Wade: The nature of the earliest ancestor of all living things has long been uncertain because the three great domains of life (bacteria, plants, animals) seemed to have no common point of origin.

Rebuttal: Mr. Wade, has it ever occurred to you and your sci-fi cult that the reason why the various domains "seem to have no common point of origin" is because maybe, just maybe, they do not have a "common point of origin?"

Wade: Specialists have recently come to believe that the bacteria and archaea were the two earliest domains, with the eukaryotes emerging later. That opened the way for a group of evolutionary biologists, ... to try to discern the nature of the organism from which the domains emerged.

Translation: The high-priests of "Evolution" TM have just concocted a new theory to explain away the gaping holes in the previous theories.

Wade: Their starting point was the known protein-coding genes of bacteria and archaea. Some six million such genes have accumulated over the last 20 years in DNA databanks as scientists with the new decoding machines have deposited gene sequences from thousands of microbes.

Rebuttal: "DNA decoding machines" were used to sniff out little Luca --- (palm to face, deep sigh, shaking head)

Wade: Genes that do the same thing in a human and a mouse are generally related by common descent from an ancestral gene in the first mammal.

Rebuttal: The belief in the "common descent" between a human and a mouse is based on the fallacious prior assumption that we all came from Luca. It can just as easily be argued that DNA similarities between Mickey Mouse and Mickey Mantle are due to both of them having been designed by the same Creative Force which Tesla, Edison, Einstein (puke) all believed to exist. Hence, genetic similarities between the two Mickeys can be explained as cross-associations / basic templates of the same life-transmitting Creative Force which animates the universe.

Will the wonders of modern "science" ever cease?! The new Super Duper Decoding Machine not only links Mickey Mantle to the rodent family; it traced the birth of Luca to a deep sea vent!

Wade: By comparing their sequence of DNA letters, genes can be arranged in evolutionary family trees, a property that enabled Dr. Martin and his colleagues to assign the six million genes to a much smaller number of gene families.

Rebuttal: One can arrange and categorize the various "families" of automobiles (trucks, sports cars, SUV's, luxury cars, go-carts etcp) into a "tree" with many branches. Would their common component similarities therefore "prove" that Ferraris blindly "evolved" from school-buses?

Wade: Genes are adapted to an organism’s environment.

Rebuttal: Wrong again, Mr, Wade! The gene pool is not "adaptable." What happens sometimes is that environmental changes will favor one existing genetic trait over another. Hence, those specimens without the trait are at a disadvantage while those with it will prosper and produce offspring. This might explain why one group of finches has a beak like this while another group of finches has a beak like that. But it damn sure cannot explain how Marylyn Monroe and a putrid maggot have the same 1 millionth grandmother!

Wade: So Dr. Martin hoped that by pinpointing the genes likely to have been present in Luca, he would also get a glimpse of where and how Luca lived.

Rebuttal: "Likely to have been present in Luca" --- that's called conjecture, not science.

Wade: “I was flabbergasted at the result, I couldn’t believe it,” he said.

Rebuttal: We can't either.

Wade: The 355 genes pointed quite precisely to an organism that lived in the conditions found in deep sea vents, the gassy, metal-laden, intensely hot plumes caused by seawater interacting with magma erupting through the ocean floor.

Rebuttal: Cheese and crackers! We can't even find lost civilizations from a few thousand years ago and this academic ass-clown found little Luca in a deep sea vent?

Wade: Deep sea vents are surrounded by exotic life-forms and, with their extreme chemistry, have long seemed places where life might have originated.

Rebuttal: "Seemed" -- "might have." Save the speculative words for Star Trek or Jurassic Park, not the Science Section of a newspaper that so many people actually place trust in.

1- Mr. Spock of Star Trek says: "Evolution is not logical."

2- Some evolutionists now believe that T-Rex "evolved" into a bird.

Wade: The 355 genes ascribable to Luca include some that metabolize hydrogen as a source of energy as well as a gene for an enzyme called reverse gyrase, found only in microbes that live at extremely high temperatures...

Rebuttal: So, some of the genes "ascribed to" (speculative) this ancestral organism called Luca (never proved to have existed), are found in microbes that live at high temperature. Therefore, Mickey Mantle and Mickey Mouse, Marilyn and the maggot do all have a common ancestor after all. Brilliant! (palm to face, deep sigh, shaking head)

Wade: The finding has “significantly advanced our understanding of what Luca did for a living,” James O. McInerney of the University of Manchester wrote in a commentary, and provides “a very intriguing insight into life four billion years ago.”

Rebuttal: How does one even begin to respond to this madness?

Wade: Dr. Martin... argues that Luca is very close to the origin of life itself. The organism is missing so many genes necessary for life that it must still have been relying on chemical components from its environment. Hence it was only “half alive,” he writes.

Rebuttal: In other words, the "Luca-was-born-in-a-sea-vent" theory has so many holes that it requires another band-aid theory to keep it viable --- the "half alive" theory.

Wade: The fact that Luca depended on hydrogen and metals favors a deep sea vent environment for the origin of life, Dr. Martin concludes, rather than the land environment posited in a leading rival theory proposed by the chemist John Sutherland of the University of Cambridge in England.

Rebuttal: Wade, with his "Luca-was-born-in-a-sea-vent" theory, is seeking to dethrone Sutherland and his "Luca-was-born-on-land" theory as the crackpot theorist of the year. This heated competition among psychos has always been a comical feature of "theoretical science."

Wade: Luca and the origin of life are “events separated by a vast distance of evolutionary innovation,” said Jack Szostak of Massachusetts General Hospital, who has studied how the first cell membranes might have evolved.

Rebuttal: This crackpot believes in cellular life before Luca --- which means that there was another great great great grandma Luca long before "sea vent" Luca was born.

Wade: Dr. Sutherland too gave little credence to the argument that Luca might lie in some gray transition zone between nonlife and life just because it depended on its environment for some essential components. “It’s like saying I’m half alive because I depend on my local supermarket.”

Rebuttal: The lunatic Sutherland is dismissing the lunatic Martin. Just another day at the asylum of modern academia. Let the "academic debate" begin!

Wade: Dr. Sutherland and others have no quarrel with Luca’s being traced back to deep sea vents. But that does not mean life originated there, they say. Life could have originated anywhere and later been confined to a deep sea environment because of some catastrophic event like the Late Heavy Bombardment, which occurred 4 billion to 3.8 billion years ago.

Rebuttal: The Late Heavy Bombardment? What the heck was that?

Wade: This was a rain of meteorites that crashed into Earth with such force that the oceans were boiled off into an incandescent mist.

Rebuttal: Mr. Wade, can you cite for us the observational evidence for this "rain of meteorites" and the "boiling off" of the oceans?

Wade: Life is so complex it seems to need many millions of years to evolve.

Rebuttal: Circular logic! It goes like this:

"Life takes 'million of years' to 'evolve' --- We cannot observe this because it played out over 'millions of years.' "

Once upon a time, the meteors rained, the oceans boiled, and out popped little Luca -- with his millions of complex DNA codes, cell wall, cell membrane, cell plasma and flagella already intact.

Wade: Dr. Sutherland, working from basic principles of chemistry, has found that ultraviolet light from the sun is an essential energy source to get the right reactions underway, and therefore that land-based pools, not the ocean, are the most likely environment in which life began.

Translation:

Sutherland: "Luca came from a land pool, you idiot!"
Martin: "Nonsense, fool! Luca came from a deep sea vent!"
Sutherland: "Land pool!"
Martin: "Sea vent!"
Sutherland: "Your momma wears combat boots!"
Martin: "Your momma so ugly, the strip club paid her to keep her clothes on!"

Wade: "We didn’t set out with a preferred scenario; we deduced the scenario from the chemistry,” Sutherland said, chiding Dr. Martin for not having done any chemical simulations to support the deep sea vent scenario.

Rebuttal: You tell him, Dr. Sutherland! The absence of chemical simulations means that Dr. Martin's theory has no merit.

Say, Dr. Sutherland, can you tell us about your "chemical simulations" that prove that life came from non-life, formed in a land pool and then evolved and evolved and evolved? Just sayin'.

Wade: Dr. Martin’s portrait of Luca “is all very interesting, but it has nothing to do with the actual origin of life,” Dr. Sutherland said.

Rebuttal: So, Dr. Sutherland is saying that Dr. Martin is an even nuttier mad scientist than he is? --- OK. We'll accept that.

There's nothing logical or helpful in protesting, nor does the Bible tell us to that.

"It is a logical fallacy to argue from things the Bible is silent about."

Only people without a clue start rambling on about "logical fallacies" when they have no argument. It's even funnier since the Bible isn't silent on it.

"It's a simple fact that you cannot make an argument based on things the Bible does NOT say. The Bible is a finite work with finite material in it, and you cannot speculate about that which is not contained in it. Fact."

Good thing that the Bible does speak on the subject. Thank you for admitting that you're simply ignorant of it.

Fucking King Edward I married a 13-year-old and managed to rule Britain. He doesn’t have problems like this these days. He was a sane man and people didn’t have the uncontrollable urge to throw him off the ledge. He wasn’t ashamed of being a man or of his sexuality.

I agree with the idea of the Sexual Trade Union. It is blatantly punishing the natural male heterosexuality.
As the trend continues, I think we’ll become increasingly asexual… and the population would drop… due to unnatural circumstances.

Quote# 123464

A further spin-off from what you’re pointing out is the similar (yet in a sense opposite), association with mature (femihag) women, affectionately referred to as ‘Cougars’ or ‘MILFs’…
In that culture, they use terms such as girl, or chick to further enhance the paedohysterical notion that girls under 18 are ‘children’, by artificially DEflating the relative age and mature appearance of those hags as (sexy or attractive) girls.
(They are trying and I think possibly with limited success, to brainwash men into believing and accepting mature women as being as sexy or even MORE sexy and attractive than younger girls).

I remember having quite an intense belly laugh when esteemed reader ‘MRA Front’ directed me to the so-called ‘Cougar’ culture, where I saw images of ugly old hags with 18 to 20 year old boys and splashed across the top of the page was this exact phrase: “You go girl!!”
Other pages contained similar pictures and short stories of Cougar ‘conventions’, where ‘hot’ or ‘sexy’ Cougars go for the exclusive purpose of meeting young men and having sex with them and they were even referred to as ‘hot chicks’, ‘Hotties’ or ‘Gals’. I.e. words normally associated with young women and girls.

I think you might, as I do, perceive this as yet another publicity ‘trick’ (in propaganda) the gynocracy has developed and deployed, to effectively conflate all females AT or OVER the age of consent to be either women or ‘girls’, but any girls BELOW the AoC are children. And of course, any man showing the slightest sexual interest towards them (including looking at drawings of anything that looks remotely youthful), are indisputably vile paedophiles, worthy of nothing less than life in prison or death (if not already deceased); or, at the VERY least: a lifetime of public scapegoating, ridicule and stigmatization, via their highly successful: publicly accessible sex offender registry system.

This could not have been the right approach, because, as most people would agree, the Bible says it's wrong. They would have been tempting them to act against what their scripture teaches (ie apostatize) in order to keep their licences. The best thing would have been either to disqualify all church ministers from acting as registrars, as NS said, or allow them to do so without requiring them to conduct SSMs. The acts of marrying same sex couples and giving practicing homosexuals positions in ministry, both of which a church is currently not required to do, would involve a minister doing something that is against biblical teaching, and thus illogical.

To disallow ministers of religion to act as registrars (for heterosexual couples) would likewise be illogical. This is because the marriage service in (say) a Christian wedding is by nature more 'valid' (probably the wrong word) than a simple civil ceremony, since it is done in the sight of God and includes promises of lifelong faithfulness etc (which civil ceremonies do not require). It thus makes marriages stronger.

The morals of the heathen world are almost non-existent. Most people only wear clothes in public because they have to. In many places, it is perfectly legal to walk around naked in public. If Christians don't stand up for decency and modesty, who will? If not us, who? If not now, when? If not here, where? To some degree we're all hypocrites. If you watch any TV at all, you're part of the problem in America! Did you ever stop to consider that the talking image in Revelation 13:15 is the television? I believe it is! As technology develops, we will see more interaction between humans and machines. It is called a singularity, that is, the point when man and machine merge. Scientists predict that this event will happen by 2045, if they Lord tarries His return. The lame excuse that some TV programming is decent is so shallow. Everyone sees things they ought not see who owns a television. I don't care who you are.

If you eat food at a restaurant that sells booze, you're helping to keep the establishment open. I am guilty too! We all are guilty of supporting sinful things to some degree. It is inescapable in a wicked nation such as ours. Even if you go to a professional ballgame, you are supporting booze, homosexuality, lewdness and all that the organization supports. Professional sports is synonymous with lewd women, immodesty and sexual immorality. That's why Sports Illustrated has gone totally lewd and filthy with their content.

NEW DELHI: The man who said women should be punished for being raped, today blamed women for the mass molestation that occurred in Bengaluru on New Year's Eve.

"In these modern times, the more skin women show, the more they are considered fashionable. If my sister or daughter stays out beyond sunset celebrating December 31 with a man who isn't their husband or brother, that's not right," said Abu Azmi, a Samajwadi Party leader who two years ago said women should be punished for being raped.

[This isn't the first time Azmi has been a waste of oxygen here, FYI http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=101626 ]

Azmi didn't stop there. He went on, in an increasingly lewd manner.

"If there's gasoline, there will be fire. If there's spilt sugar, ants will gravitate towards it for sure," Azmi continued.

This SP leader, who said two years ago that women should get the death penalty for sex outside marriage, is by no means the only one who feels this way - in 2017.

When asked yesterday about the mass molestation by mobs on MG Road and Brigade Road in the heart of Bengaluru, Karnataka home minister G Parameshwara said " these kinds of things do happen."

"During days like New Year or Christmas Day, there are women who are harassed or treated badly. We take precautionary measures. But unfortunately, on days like New Year, a large number of youngsters gather on Brigade Road, Commercial Street and MG Road. And youngsters are almost like westerners. They try to copy the west, not only in their mindset but even in their dressing. So some disturbance, some girls are harassed, these kinds of things do happen," Parameshwara told a TV channel yesterday.

The holier than thou sanctimonious b@stards on this website will instinctively respond with something that condemns you as a bad person for not wanting to help refugees.

However it is these people that are often the same as refugees. They don't pay taxes, they don't work, or they're 25 year old kids still living with mommy and daddy. They don't oppose the continual shelling out of tax payer money because THEY don't pay taxes or they pay very little.


That's why they're so easily all about welcoming in refugees, like inviting random strangers to a restaurant when the inviter was never going to pick up the check anyway.



Taking in refugees is bad enough, but we as the US under barack obonzo's direction are taking INTENTIONALLY UNVETTED MUSLIM REFUGEES.

Look I don't give a single damn about the uneducated SJW's who have surrender intelligence in exchange for increased passion, when you invite people into your country to live off of tax payer dollars and these people just happen to be the same islamics that ISIS brags about having infiltrated the US with, then you are doing nothing but harming ACTUAL citizens.


But does obama care? Why should he? His dedication from day one has been to islam, he see's America as some evil decadent 'western' civilization satan, and he wants the US taken over.

There is so much evidence and instances that demonrat fcks have chalked up to 'oh well it doesn't actually mean he's a muslim'.....uh yah...after you use that excuse for the 50th time in a row...it DOES mean he's a muslim.

But that's fine, we knew terrorists like democrats and radical islam would eventually break the borders, why do you think gun sales in America have quadrupled under obama's 8 short years? It's because half of us are not stupid, the other half voted for hillary clinton.

A fashion designer has been charged with inciting hatred on social media and imprisoned - a day after he came under attack at Istanbul's main airport.

Barbaros Sansal is an outspoken critic of Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party.

On New Year's Eve, he posted a video on his Twitter account angrily denouncing those out celebrating "while there is so much filth, vileness and poverty" in the country.

He also spoke of "scores of journalists" jailed in Turkey as well as abused children, corruption and bribery.

[...]

As he was leaving the plane in Istanbul, he was attacked by passengers on the same Turkish Airlines flight along with baggage handlers shouting "traitor!"

Mr Sansal was rushed away from the scene by what are believed to have been plainclothes policemen, who had come to arrest him as he landed.

Video footage of the attack on Mr Sansal was shared thousands of times on social media.

How such an attack took place at an international airport has prompted concerns about security failure.

There are also questions about whether it was an organised attack.

Local reports suggested that 20 people identified as airport employees were questioned by police.

"We could not resist our national feelings. We shouted. But due to a police cordon we could not do anything," one of them reportedly said. However, other workers acknowledged that the fashion designer was subjected to physical violence.

And it is Barbaros Sansal who has been detained, in one of the biggest prisons in Turkey, where many imprisoned journalists are being held.

He is accused of "inciting hatred among the public" for his outspoken comments.

Some have praised the treatment he was given. Ankara Mayor Melih Gokcek posted footage of the incident calling it "the nation's response".

One tweet read: "The man swears at the country and they defend him. Whoever defends him is also a traitor."

"Whoever you are, if you are not happy about being a Turk or living in this country, no-one forces you to stay here. Just go," read another.

Turkey has a poor record on free speech, with at least 81 journalists behind bars, according to the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), and more than 130 media outlets have been shut since the failed coup last July.

On Saturday, a United States district judge ruled that doctors may turn away women who have had abortions and transgender patients on the basis of religious freedom.

In his verdict, Judge Reed O'Connor argued laws that would otherwise forbid gender-based discrimination require doctors "to remove the categorical exclusion of transitions and abortions (a condition they assert is a reflection of their religious beliefs and an exercise of their religion) and conduct an individualized assessment of every request for those procedures." In other words, doctors would have to argue on an individual basis their refusal of a patient.

This requirement, O'Connor said, "imposes a burden" on doctors' ability to exercise their religion.

O'Connor cited 2014's Burwell v. Hobby Lobby ruling, which allowed family-owned corporations to refuse insurance coverage for birth control under the Affordable Care Act if it went against their religious beliefs.

At the time, the New York Times predicted the 5-4 Supreme Court decision would "[open] the door to many challenges from corporations over laws that they claim violate their religious liberty." And, given O'Connor's interpretation of the decision, it seems the outlet was right.

Slate's Mark Joseph Stern called O'Connor's ruling "an extreme extension of the dubious logic" behind Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, as it flouts the nondiscriminatory guidelines of the Affordable Care Act and the Department of Health and Human Services.

Whereas they both include discrimination based on "gender identity" and "termination of pregnancy" under the umbrella of sex discrimination, O'Connor's ruling only acknowledges a more rudimentary definition of gender discrimination — "hostility against a man or woman for being a man or a woman," Stern wrote.

O'Connor also justified his ruling by claiming that individual doctors' refusal to treat trans patients or women who have had abortions does not limit their access to health care and coverage. He argued that the government doesn't seem to be too concerned about specifically trans people's access to health care anyway.

"The government's own health insurance programs, Medicare and Medicaid, do not mandate coverage for transition surgeries; the military's health insurance program, TRICARE, specifically excludes coverage for transition surgeries," O'Connor wrote in his verdict.

O'Connor's ruling, though, will only continue to limit options for trans people and add fuel to the fire in terms of punishing women for their reproductive choices — objectives conservatives have been steadily working toward with the trans bathroom bill in North Carolina and a number of anti-abortion laws in other states.

With his ruling, O'Connor paved the way for even more discrimination on the grounds of religious freedom.

For the fitst time in 95 years, Republicans took total control over the Kentucky state government this week and immediately moved to strip rights from women and workers.

According to the Courier-Journal, a 20-week abortion ban is one of the first 11 bills being considered by the GOP-controlled legislature.

Republican Senate President Robert Stivers told reporters on Tuesday that women relinquished their reproductive “choice” by getting pregnant in the first place.

Stivers said that a woman had a “choice early on to make a decision to conceive or not conceive.”

“But once conception starts, there becomes another life involved. And the legislature has its ability to control how that life may proceed or how it would be terminated,” he stated.

Republican House Speaker Jeff Hoover said that there was “overwhelming sentiment” in favor of the 20-week abortion ban. He predicted that it would be passed by the legislature by the end of the week.

“Legislation about bans like this pose a serious threat because they ignore women’s health needs in individual circumstances,” ACLU of Kentucky spokesperson Amber Duke told the Courier-Journal. “We believe that women deserve dignity and should have the right to make personal and private medical decisions without interference from politicians.”

Republicans were also expected to pass right-to-work legislation this week that would ban union membership as a requirement for employment.

“They are pursuing a policy to penalize unions,” Kentucky AFL-CIO President Bill Londrigan warned. “It’s a low road to economic development that will actually end up costing all Kentucky workers in the form of lower wages.”

An Indian minister has sparked outrage by suggesting that a "mass molestation" of women in one of the country's busiest nightlife hubs took place because they dressed "like westerners".

Multiple women were groped during New Year celebrations in Bangalore, the capital of India’s southern Karnataka state, according to local and social media reports.

Photographs of distraught women rushing out of crowds and seeking help from police appeared on both.

But Karnataka State Home Minister, G Parameshwara, caused uproar after said the alleged attacks were the result of Western influences.

“They tried to copy the Westerners, not only in their mindset but even in their dressing,” he said. “So some disturbance, some girls are harassed, these kinds of things do happen.”

On occasion I've linked to Charismamag.com in Florida for their interesting articles. However, I've been careful lately when I go to promote any website, to also see what images they promote. Today I found an interesting article on their website about 50 Reasons Why I Don't Drink (i.e., Alcohol), and began to promote it, but then I noticed a woman in colored underwear on their website, at the beach. That's all a bathing suit is... colored underwear. The bathing suit wasn't a full-body suit. It was just skimpy black underwear and a skimpy top.

...

Then I also noticed that Charismamag.com has an article titled, “How To Quit Porn In 2017.” What hypocrites!!! Charisma magazine are phonies!!! The best way to start giving up porn is for women to stop dressing like whores and stop compromising their virtue! But that will never happen, because people are wicked! So the next best thing is for everyone who loves the Lord Jesus Christ to do their part to stop the filth! We cannot stop what others do, but we have a choice! We do have a choice!!! God give us some Christian women who once again are proud to dress modestly. Ungodly women will hate you and laugh at you, ladies, if you dress modestly. Let them! It is better to receive praises from God, than from sinful men (John 12:43).

Charismamag.com chooses to display lewd, naked, ungodly women on their website, no doubt to boost their website's popularity by using unethical advertisements. We cannot stop ungodly women from taking their clothes off, but WE CAN refuse (as professed believers) to display photos of unclothed females!!! Kindly, there's nothing as wicked and of the Devil, than a woman walking around publicly in her underwear. It is commonplace these days, but it is still wrong! Even if everyone is doing wrong, it is still right to do right. I'm going to do right, even if everyone does wrong! I'm still going to proclaim the inspiration of the King James Bible, even if every church and Bible college in America errantly says it's not!!!

Then I felt something crawling on my leg. I thought it must be the fly that had been in the kitchen earlier. I felt the Holy Spirit tell me to look and make sure, but once again, I foolishly ignored Him. Without looking, I used my other foot to brush it off my leg.

That night, began one of the worst nights of my life. My heart pounded like it was trying to escape my chest, and every time I tried to lay down, I felt my lungs fill up with fluid till I had to sit up just to breathe. My head ached, and I felt almost like I had a severe case of the flu.

For three days, I was intensely ill.

I went back to the Lord and begged for His forgiveness, and asked Him to have mercy on me and help me. I push prayed until I heard Him give me directions. He told me not to go to the hospital, but instead was to take a certain number of vitamin C’s, B vitamins, and calcium pills, and to repeat this as He instructed.

I told Him that I could not, for I had run out of calcium pills several days ago, and was waiting for the shipment to arrive any day.

“Go look,” He said.

“It’s not there, Lord! I’d just be wasting my energy!”

“GO LOOK!”, He insisted.

Sigh. I knew my God was not going to give up. So I said “Fine! I’ll go look!”

It wasn’t where I usually keep it; it was sitting right at eye level, in front of the other bottles of assorted vitamins.

I was amazed. I figured that my husband had probably seen the shipment, and had begun unpacking it for me, but got called away before he could put them all away.

I thanked God, took the medicine, and slowly started to feel better.

A week later, and I was still suffering from the strange symptoms. So I went to the doctor.

He listened to my symptoms, looked at my swollen leg, (It looked like I had a half a grapefruit hiding under the skin,) and promptly diagnosed me with a black widow spider bite. He said I was fortunate that I had survived the poison, but that there was little he could do for me now, as the worst of the danger had passed. (The anti-venom was contraindicated this late in the game.)

So I went home, and researched on line what one could do for a black widow spider bite. To my amazement, one web site suggested taking large doses of vitamin C, B vitamins, and calcium, every few hours.

I thanked my husband for putting the bottle of calcium in my closet, but he said he didn’t do it. “Maybe one of the boys did it,” he replied. I figured he must be right.

But a week later, I got a notice in my email from the supplier of those calcium pills. “We are sorry to inform you, that the product you ordered has not yet shipped out, because it is still on back order…”

I was shocked. I went back into the closet to stare at the bottle of calcium pills. They looked no different from what I usually use. They were the same brand and dose as I usually keep on hand. But I took them and hugged them to my chest, and thanked God for sending them to me. When they ran out, I wanted to keep the bottle to remember it by, but the Lord said it might become an idol and that I was not to keep it, so I threw it out.
