Another political axiom we have on the show is “if you ever wonder who is in charge, determine who you are not allowed to criticize.”

One group of people you no longer can criticize is transgender people. In the State of New York, if you refuse to call a man a woman you can be fined $250,000; a second offense is $500,000 and you’re financially ruined.

Now, I’m not saying that this small percentage of our neighbors and Children of God are bad people. And I’m not contending that these transgender people are in charge. But I would say that little baby tyrants are in charge; people like Bill DeBlasio.

Are we hiring the correct people to make laws for us?

Tied with this, the Dallas Cowboys made a request to wear decals on their helmets to recognize the Dallas Police Department. The NFL said no. But in 2012 and 2014 this wasn’t the case; teams were allowed to wear decals honoring the children lost at Sandy Hook.

Why wouldn’t you want a football team honoring cops? Am I saying that the leaders of “Black Lives Matter” are in charge? No but our leaders are pandering to their point of view.

The same group of people that want to fine you for calling a man a man is the same group of people who don’t want you honoring cops. This is called intersectionality; all of the struggles are the same. And what do these ‘intersectionalists’ want – they want power. Do you stand with this?
