SCOTUS and ChiComs

The transgender revolution at the Supreme Court.
Oral arguments were heard on some transgender cases Tuesday.
All I've seen in the print and mainstream media screams "rights of transgender people!"  "Fired for being trans?!"
Only Al Mohler reported Justice Alito's question: aren't you asking us to do what the Equality Act seeks to enact?
Exactly.
The Equality Act was passed by the House, but the Senate will not pass it.  These cases are just asking SCOTUS to get done what Congress won't.  The country is deeply divided over these issues, and it is an undue process to ask the courts to pick a side.  This is what Roe v. Wade and Obergefell did, too: legislate from the bench, creating out of thin air a whole new set of "rights" they find in the Constitution, to fit with the sexual revolution: abortion, homosexuality, and now the transgender confusion.
Notice the common thread in what is sought:
We are legally prosecuting and codifying our sexual rebellion against God, demanding that we call good what God calls evil.


The NBA in China
The Communists are getting smarter.
China's have for years now been using the economic benefits that capitalism gives them as a carrot, enticing the world to its markets.  But there's a catch: tow the party line.  Don't speak out when we brutally repress Muslim minorities or try to take away Hong Kong's civil rights.
Well, thankfully not everyone goes along.  One team coach voiced support for the Hong Kong protesters.  Even though it was just a sentence or two, and quickly taken down, the ChiComs are having none of it.  As a totalitarian regime, they seek total control.  But can they manage the demand their own people have for American sports?
This is a major theater in the ideological warfare between democracy and dictatorship.
American business should stop siding with the latter.  Their willingness to compromise ethically to get Chinese markets and money is appalling.  Don't give up your civil rights as the price for doing business with China.
