There are 2.86 million U.S. military personnel.  How many are transgender?  Although no one really knows, it’s a minute fraction, perhaps like the percentage of left-handed redheads over seven feet tall with Mensa-level IQs.

Does any rational person really believe that the presence of transgenders in our armed forces puts our national security at risk?

Obviously, banning transgenders from the military appeals to idiots.  Perhaps that’s all that needs to be said here.

Too Many Americans Have Lost the Ability to Think

From Newsweek:

The Ohio House passed a bill named after the slain conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, which allows public schoolteachers to teach about the “positive impact of religion on American history,” particularly Christianity. The “Charlie Kirk American Heritage Act,” also known as House Bill 486, was passed by Ohio’s House 62-27 on November 19, with all Republicans voting for and all Democrats voting against.

Well, here’s yet another law that flies into the teeth of the establishment clause of the First Amendment.

Having said that, few people would object to a public school’s offering:

• An elective on the “positive impact of Christianity on American history,” or
• A course that objectively examines the pros and cons of religion on human civilization.

Obviously, that won’t satisfy the Christians in this deeply red state.

Before Trump, “Contempt of Court” Used to Be a Big Deal
