KRAWIEC: Random ramblings

The American Bible Society released a report showing that the most charitable givers are those who engage frequently with the Bible. That should not surprise anyone, either

President JOE Biden is doing all he can in his final days to disrupt any progress that Donald Trump is trying to make. The court has ordered him to stop removing and auctioning off border wall materials that have been on the site since Trump’s last term. Shame on Biden.

Biden has been busy pardoning violent criminals and removing others from death row. Families of victims are outraged. Does it make sense that one person can overturn death sentences given by juries?

George Soros-elected progressive district attorneys around much of the country are also busy reducing sentences. A Portland, Oregon, DA is looking to reduce the sentences of violent criminals, including murderers. This is days before he leaves office.

A report from the U.S. Senate reveals that only 6% of federal employees report to work in person full time. Sen. Joni Ernst said, “The nation’s capital is a ghost town.” That would be a good thing if it were not caused by employees getting paid to work and not showing up. Taxpayers are paying for millions of square feet of office space that sits empty. The “short-term” COVID work rules have become permanent for many.

John Kerry, the energy czar, recently made comments that outraged many regarding climate change and our carbon footprint. He argued, with a straight face, that allowing the public to freely choose their heating options and vehicle fuels is causing serious problems. This is rich coming from a man that flies around the world in private jets and lives in a huge mansion. He uses more energy than many small towns. What a hypocrite.

A report from the National Principles Project claims that 70% of enforcement actions by the Biden administration have been against Christian colleges. Grand Canyon University and Liberty University were hit with record-breaking fines for minor infractions while public universities were charged much less for severe scandals. Think Penn State. Does this surprise anyone?

The American Bible Society released a report showing that the most charitable givers are those who engage frequently with the Bible. That should not surprise anyone, either.

Biden is doing more damage on his way out. His Environmental Protection Agency has granted waivers to California to phase out gas-powered vehicles by 2035. Make no mistake: This will affect the rest of the country as well. Car companies cannot make cars just for one state. Maybe by the time 2035 comes around, people will have left California. At the rate they are leaving, it’s possible.

San Jose State’s women’s volleyball coach has been suspended for standing against men in women’s sports. She says she has no regrets. She said it is worth it, even at the cost of losing her job.

Some parents in California are furious after learning that their high school is offering a lesson that asked kids to come out as gay or lesbian. What is the educational benefit in this lesson? What is the fascination with sex in our schools? Get back to teaching.

Indiana University is teaching students that they are “oppressors” because of their race, sex and religion. According to the program addendum, “Heterosexual, White, Able-Bodied People, Christian and Men are dominant groups. These groups are guilty of social oppression.” Here again, why can’t we just stick to education?

New York’s Medicaid system is broken like much of the rest of the country. New York has revealed it has wasted $20 billion on ineligible recipients. The data shows that only 5.5 million citizens are eligible but 8.5 million are enrolled. This year, New York is projected to spend $113 billion on state health care.

A California judge has ordered rape victims to use the attacker’s preferred pronoun during the trial. The attacker is a biological male, identifies as a woman and was transferred to a women’s prison. He subsequently impregnated one inmate and raped two others. Now, how did “he” do this if he’s a woman? Geez. This isn’t rocket science.
