Progressives have no problems squaring their crackpot extreme of antinomianism with their crackpot extreme of micro-management interventions. I would get badly disoriented from the attempt.

The House passed a few bills dealing with the bureaucratic/technocratic aspect of this last week. See https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2023/index.asp

The Jerrold Nadler/Chip Roy fracas on Wednesday, I believe it was, about masking toddlers had to do with an amendment Roy was offering (vote 263) to the REINS Act.

For the open-minded, the Fatima visionary Sr. Lucia stated that the final battle between God and Satan will be over marriage and the family.

That's one heck of a lucky guess is she was bluffing the whole time.

Great post as always. I’ve been meaning to write one about the all the isms. As I see it here’s the trajectory:

Paganism —> Secularism —> Humanism —> Existentialism —> Postmodernism —> Irrationalism —> Paganism —> Transhumanism?

What’s interesting is that transhumanism really came to life in the 80s although not a new idea but it’s taking this long for it to grow the technological legs it desires.

Finite man coming full circle in his thinking and yet again proving the wisdom of Solomon:

Ecclesiastes 1:9 ESV

[9] What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.

When I was growing up, most of Illinois' current legislators would have shared a ward in Bellevue.
