Happy Monday!

We’re just three weeks from Christmas! Advent is underway. Anticipating the coming of the Prince of Peace as war intensifies, not just on the battlefield and on the high seas, but also in the war on truth itself.

Our Tom Gilson posted a powerful rumination on the subject Sunday called “Against the Delusions: The Spiritual Battle for Truth.”

As if on cue, the world obliged with real time examples.

Yo, ABC News, It’s Called a “Woman”

ABC News on Thursday tweeted about the arrest warrant put out for Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller. They say he’s accused of assaulting a “pregnant person.”

Funny how ABC fired Roseanne for insulting one woman, but has no problem insulting all women.

“But Al, they’re just a liberal media organization. Not like they’re anybody we’re supposed to pay attention to when it comes to health matters.” Well, as Post Millennial reports, the CDC is also erasing women with its new vax guidance. They’re also using the “pregnant person” terminology.

Trans Volleyball Player Knocks Girl Out for the Season

It’s happened again, this time in California. A male volleyball player allowed to play on a girl’s team has sent an opposing player to the hospital. A father, who wishes to remain anonymous to avoid the inevitable wrath of the LGBTQ activists and education Gestapo, says his daughter was given a concussion when a biological male playing for Half Moon Bay High School smashed a ball into his daughter’s head during a match in October.

“We ended up taking my daughter to the doctor,” the father told Reddux. “They confirmed the concussion and my kid ended up not being able to play for the remainder of her senior year. She was playing for fun, and this was her final year doing it. She felt robbed. I felt deflated and powerless.”

The father went to school officials, but they claimed there was nothing they could do about a male competing against females. “At what point does someone’s gender dysphoria cross the empathy boundary? In my case when my daughter was injured.”

Fighting Back: Christian School Sues Vermont After Being Banned from Competitions for Refusing to Allow Girl’s Basketball Team to Play 6’1” Male

A Christian high school in Vermont is fighting back. The Mid-Vermont Christian School Eagles refused to play a basketball playoff match against a team that fielded a biological male. The state punished the Eagles for protecting its girls and religious values, banning the school from competing in state tournaments … athletic and academic. They were also booted out of the Vermont Principal’s Association (VPA), which sponsors school activities across the state. The Eagles aren’t taking it lying down. The school has partnered with Alliance Defending Freedom to sue state officials for damages and violating their religious rights.

Cosmopolitan Celebrates Satanic Ritual Abortion

Cosmopolitan, the once-famed magazine targeting young women, is now pushing Satanic ritual abortions on its impressionable readers. Cosmo instructs girls how to have a ritualized abortion as performed at an abortion mill run by the Satanic Temple. A facility, incidentally, they named “Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Satanic Abortion Clinic.”

One step involves staring at one’s own reflection before taking an abortion pill, declaring, “One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.” And it ends:

“Later, once your body expels the aborted tissue, return to your reflection. Focus again on your personhood, your power in making this decision. Complete the ritual by reciting a personal affirmation: By my body, my blood; by my will, it is done.”

Rachel del Guidice of Daily Signal describes Cosmo‘s unintentional irony of confirming that abortion is Satanic.

Jets on Way to Global Warming Conference Frozen In

After that last story we can use a little chuckle. Jets bound for that global warming conference in Dubai were frozen in all over Europe this weekend, thanks to heavy snow and ice.

“Conqueror”: Baby Born at 23 Weeks After Mother Rejected Abortion Healthy Enough to Go Home

Little Nicol Vittoria has gone home. She was only 23-weeks when delivered via C-section due to a placenta eruption at a Rome hospital in May. Doctors at another hospital had suggested mother Jessica abort the baby, but she immediately refused. “I would have accepted her with any problem,” she told Avvenire.

Indeed, Nicol weighed barely a pound, had a 30% chance of survival and significant chance at brain damage. For months, Nicol Vittoria battled through a plethora of health issues, but is now healthy enough to come home.

In honor of her fighting spirit, Jessica named the baby Nicol Vittoria. The name means “victory of the people” or “Conqueror.”
