Sadly, tragically, Mr. Stepman [the author of the article below my comments] is not alone. For the overwhelming majority, even those professing faith in God, to be disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ are smitten, carried away in the belief that;

“This latest woke lunacy isn’t just a disturbing policy. In a larger sense, it demonstrates how powerful governmental institutions have been co-opted on behalf of a larger, elite-driven cultural revolution.”

As Mr. Stepman writes, and The Daily Caller reports, continuing to spread misinformation.

How so?

As with almost every source of news today it is founded sans Scriptural belief or bearing. Founded solely on the whims and ways of worldly attitudes, beliefs and constructions. Thus from a foundation of flimsy foolish man omitting God, omitting the Holy Bible.

As with almost all so-called news reporting, while there is a small dose of truth and dealing with reality, that percentage is small and misleading. Just as every word, every thought ever put into the hearts and minds of every person ever has been by the father of lies, that Old Dragon the devil, from his first seductive twisting and perverting of THE TRUTH as said by God to twist words, omit or add words to suit his evil purpose.

When omitting God, omitting the Holy Bible whatever is presented the foundation and premise is weak. Corrupt from its outset. And is perhaps containing some truth, but not the truth. Perhaps a wee percentage of the story, but not enough to truly inform people.

While what has occurred and continues in Western cultures is surely lunacy, and the 180 degree opposite of being awakened, or the absurd constipation and conflagration of language — woke, for it reveals a dearth of being awakened to any reality or truth and resides firmly in the realm of delusion and lies building upon the first lie man and woman fell for and thus brought about The Fall, since it continues to push God and His instruction, His Word out of the conversation.

Lunacy, surely. But that is merely a by-product to be observed from what has truly taken place among the people of America, of the West, and of the world.

Can you, will you, finally go to the Scriptures and believe? Can you, will you finally acknowledge a hearing, a filling of the heart and mind fed the dung of the world and accepting, adopting and approving of that dung being the daily diet rather than the clean, non-polluted, no additives needed nourishing words within the Word of God? Having the Scriptures be the foundation upon which all else is constructed upon. Yes, even having the Word of God be the starting point, the foundation upon which every bit of news is weighed.

Perhaps you’ve become too weary, too inundated, too desensitized, too consumed and carried away, perhaps too turned to the world and away from the Word.

Lunacy, surely — but that is a mere by product of THE PEOPLE BEING GIVEN OVER BY GOD TO THEIR WICKED, UNRIGHTEOUS, REPROBATE MINDS as God in His infinite knowing knows the people are so far from Him, so far from the truth, are such darkness while also being enslaved in the swirling darkness they will never come out into the Light, finding the Way, to the Truth, and Life.

Yes, we are living in Biblical times.

Yes, we are all living in Romans 1.

And until and unless an individual can hear that, see that, believe that, and then understand and implement the Word of God in everything — EVERYTHING — they see, hear, and find along the way whatever understanding they may have is hollow, like a crab living in the shell of some dead creature on the ocean floor not possessing the ability to put on the armour of truth, life, and true understanding — the full armour of the Word of God!

What has and is taking place is NOT woke lunacy, demonstrating how powerful governmental institutions have been co-opted on behalf of a larger, elite-driven cultural revolution, but IS a clear sign of how THE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN GIVEN OVER TO THEIR WICKEDNESS AND REPROBATE MINDS BY GOD..

Even a child seeing and hearing clearly sees and knows what is being put forward as truth and reality today is not only absurd and insane. But that does not address the cause of this insanity and the reasons all things have occurred as they have.

To attach and believe what the world is proposing, merely a political ideology, a cultural shift brought about by some governmental, or political party co-opting of thought and bringing about a cultural revolution is akin to attaching and believing that stage 4 cancer within the body was brought about by the brand of shoes a person might wear, what they had for dinner last night.

Wrong diagnosis.

Wrong direction taken.

Leading to death.

Therefore any step taken is not moving forward, or seeing clearly, but merely sinking further into the sea of quicksand to devour, into the abyss presented by the world, thus he who is the prince of the air, he who has dominion on this earth for a season.

Until and unless having the Word of God as the foundational source of news and information upon which to build all so-called news and information presented by the world the hearer builds amiss. A flimsy structure built with the decaying materials of man rather than the incorruptible and eternal materials given by God upon which to build.

Yes, The Centers For Disease Control have lost their minds. But how? But why? Surely not from a mere political ideology put forward, not due to any special interest group. Ask yourself how it could have gotten to the point it is since at all times in the past political ideas, political parties, political agendas, and political ideologies of man of every ilk have been present and ever pushing on every institution and constructor of man — but it hasn’t been until recently that once sound institutions have all, all of them, given over to the insanity. How could this happen as swiftly, as universally as it has?

Surely not due to a mere political construct, a political agenda put forward by a small minority that was enabled to take on the proportion it has.

There must be more to it all, eh? Hummm…

Wonder what that might be…

You seriously honestly believe all that has and is taking place is due to liberal political leanings? Really?

Perhaps it’s time for some real reevaluating and coming to the senses, the spiritual senses, and washing all the noise, all the dung, all the permitted to infiltrate and saturate ways of the world that have polluted and entered in and begin to build and live in a structure built from God’s eternal Word so when peering out the window of your soul, your spirit, your mind, heart, and body you can finally see clearly, finally discern well and wisely basing everything seen and heard upon the Word of God rather than the words of man and woman.

CDC’s Perverted Guidance on ‘Chestfeeding’ Shows Ideological Corruption of Administrative State

This latest woke lunacy isn’t just a disturbing policy. In a larger sense, it demonstrates how powerful governmental institutions have been co-opted on behalf of a larger, elite-driven cultural revolution.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention actually has issued official guidance for “nonbinary” people on how to “chestfeed” infants.

This latest woke lunacy isn’t just a disturbing policy. In a larger sense, it demonstrates how powerful governmental institutions have been co-opted on behalf of a larger, elite-driven cultural revolution.

The CDC guidance, in isolation, is certainly disturbing.

The public health agency’s website explains:

Some transgender parents who have had breast/top surgery may wish to breastfeed, or chestfeed (a term used by some transgender and non-binary parents) their infants. Healthcare providers working with these families should be familiar with medical, emotional, and social aspects of gender transitions to provide optimal family-centered care and meet the nutritional needs of the infant.

 

We are apparently supposed to believe that the secretions produced by these men interested in “chestfeeding”—many of whom are on serious hormones—is the same as it is for women, and that it’s entirely safe for infants.

But it seems there are some serious health risks here that the CDC is ignoring.

My colleague at The Daily Signal, reporter Mary Margaret Olohan, cataloged mothers who blasted the CDC’s guidance.

Are babies being used as props for some kind of twisted sexual fetish? Do the folks who run the CDC even care?

Given the CDC’s track record, it’s not far-fetched to assume that not only are officials there conveniently overlooking some facts about the safety of “chestfeeding,” they are prioritizing the desires of the radical transgender movement over the health of children.

After all, the CDC has poured significant resources into furthering LGBTQ+ causes in K-12 schools.

Can you imagine the CDC or any other federal agency under President Joe Biden ever telling transgender activists that some of its desires could be harmful or destructive? Not a chance.

The CDC’s “chestfeeding” guidance came from the “Health Equity Considerations” portion of the agency’s website. That’s the section where you put on the blinders and pretend the CDC is giving medical advice.

This really is part of a broader shift in how government agencies operate.

The massive growth in the administrative state, which began in the early 20th century in the United States, was justified by the idea of technocratic “expertise” effectively taking the place of limited self-government.

With the growth of societies, so early progressive thinkers surmised, there was a need to shift away from the messy politics of the past. Instead of traditional, give-and-take deliberative politics—which relied on a careful balance of interests and a healthy dose of statesmanship—we would have an army of empowered, “nonpartisan” experts who would look out for our interests in the name of democracy.

To a large extent, the sales pitch worked. Congress has been severely diminished. The courts now defer to government agencies not only to make the rules of our society, but even to police themselves.

Our government has strayed far from the system of checks and balances envisioned by the Founding Fathers. Worse, it became ripe for ideological capture. Now it’s been captured. And with Biden at the helm of the executive branch, the revolution has accelerated.

Although government agencies still rely on appeals to authority and expertise, they now have become willing to overtly abandon that justification in the name of ideology.

What are you going to do, vote them out of office?

This development makes the modern administrative state more akin to an established church than the nonpartisan government by scientific experts dreamed up by Woodrow Wilson and his progressive allies of yesteryear. We now have a kind of left-wing integralism.

That doesn’t mean more people will hold fast to our newly established church of “science.” In fact, by most measures, this ideological shift has caused a societywide collapse in institutional trust. Only committed liberals stay true to the faith.

It says something terrible about modern Western societies that our most powerful institutions and government agencies have been so quick to sacrifice women and children on the altar of ideology.

As mortifying as it is, at the very least this left-wing institutional extremism is opening the eyes of many Americans, who are disturbed by what we are becoming.

The images of a woman having her face smashed by a man playing women’s sports, a child missing flesh on an arm because of gender-reassignment surgery, and, now, helpless babies being abused to service the fantasy of male “chestfeeding”—these are all images that finally have provoked a serious response.

We now can see quite clearly what’s at stake. Perhaps witnessing and then resisting the mutilation of the West will help us stave off the suicide of the West that will surely follow.
