Now France Is More American Than America?

President Macron of France rallies the French nation to stand up against the illiberal woke ideology.

Published

on

President Emmanuel Macron of France has warned that American woke ideology threatens the rich culture and identity of France. In a statement issued earlier this week, Macron denounced wokism and rallied the French nation to reject it and its central tenets. French intellectuals, academics, politicians, artists and other key cultural figures rallied to Macron, and denounced wokism and declared that it has no place in France. Amazingly, French leftists are even more adamant than rightists in their denunciation of wokism and its danger to France and to intellectual freedom.

Macron unequivocally denounced ‘radical’ ideas emanating from American universities and movies, and came out and said they are destroying American culture and freedom of thought and expression. He declared that France would never allow this to happen to its culture and its citizens ability to think and express themselves freely. France, he said, has a tradition of standing of liberty, and would stand strong against the illiberal strain of thought that has currently gripped American society and is erasing its 230+ year commitment tho freedom and free expression.

Lord Conrad Black of Cross Harbour, a leading intellectual and business figure on the right, wrote a lengthy piece in American Greatness in which he suggested that France would be the indispensable nation in the West to take on the wokist scourge and defeat it in the marketplace of ideas. He cites the example of General, and later President Charles De Gaulle of France defying American leadership and American ideas which it feels could “infect” the identity and culture of France in a negative way.

France, he says, has always been a nation that has stood for French values and ideals, and would not allow those to be erased by notions that originated elsewhere. France has always been very proud and conscious of its identity and alert to any encroachments by foreign ideas that could dilute it. Lord Black believes that if wokism is to be defeated in the marketplace for ideas, France will lead the way.

It is interesting to note that wokism is not flourishing in the former Eastern bloc, with Poland and Hungary in particular disdaining it and pushing back against it. Russia and China also are not fertile grounds for wokist ideology. In fact, the Chinese government just announced that they will be promoting ‘manly education’ for Chinese boys, with a strong emphasis on traditionally masculine virtues.

While American universities, Hollywood, and the media are under the sway of wokism, France and the French have made it clear that wokist ideology will be met with hostility in France. Macron even personally called the author of a wokist piece written in an American newspaper criticizing France for not being woke enough, and berated that individual for not understanding or ‘respecting’ France and the French way of thinking.

France is the first major Western country to push back hard against wokism, with the support of all of its major cultural institutions and leaders. It may very well lead the way for other Western nations to do the same.

Eight Dysphemisms to Start Your Week

A dysphemism is a word or phrase that is more offensive than the words it is replacing

Published

on

A “euphemism” is the substitution of an agreeable or inoffensive expression for one that might suggest something more bluntly or offend others, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. To say, for example, “He doesn’t have all his marbles,” is regarded as gentler than saying “He is stark raving insane.”

The Mighty Dysphemism

The opposite of a euphemism is a “dysphemism.” A dysphemism is a word or phrase that is more offensive, blunt, or harsh than the word or phrase which it is replacing. For example, instead of stating that the Manhattan District Attorney is “cognitively challenged,” you refer to him instead as a “total partisan whack job.”

For your amusement, at the least, here are eight dysphemism followed by the kinder, gentler, or at least more definitive terminology of what is being said:

“Biting off more than you can chew” – Orally extracting an amount of edible matter that exceeds what one is comfortably able to masticate.

“That’s a load of B.S.” – Your assertion reminds one of bovine excretion.

“Sh__faced” – Bearing an expression that one normally associates with the act of removing solid waste from the body.

“Can’t tell your ass from your elbow” – Unable to differentiate between your dorsal side orifice and the joint connecting your forearm and upper arm.

“Stepping in a pile of crap” – A pedestrian venture into an accumulation of animal or human waste.

“Go F-yourself” – Engage in the act of physical consummation with yourself.

“Up to your eyeballs in crap” – Finding yourself surrounded at the visual level by unpleasantly aromatic organic waste.

“Carnal knowledge” – Having a close encounter with another, free of garments and other impediments, leading to direct tactile stimulation.

A True Time Saver

Thank goodness for dysphemisms. In a most fundamental way, they are true time-savers. Without them, we’d be groping for tedious phrasing all day long. “Up your nose with a rubber hose,” if you don’t “catch my drift.”

God is in control of all things and that we can trust Him completely

Trusting God during uncertain times can be challenging, but it is essential for believers to lean on their faith and trust in God’s plan. As a Christian, I firmly believe that God is in control of all things and that we can find peace in His presence. In this article, we will explore ways to trust God during uncertain times and provide relevant scripture and quotes from famous pastors and Bible teachers.

Remember God’s Promises
God’s promises are true, and we can rely on them during times of uncertainty. The Bible is full of promises that God has made to His people. One such promise is found in Jeremiah 29:11, which says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” When we trust in God’s promises, we can have hope and confidence in His plan for our lives.

Another promise is found in Philippians 4:6-7, which says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” When we give our worries and fears to God, He can replace them with peace and comfort.

Focus on God’s Character
When we focus on God’s character, we can trust Him more fully. The Bible tells us that God is loving, faithful, and just. In Psalm 145:13, we read, “The Lord is faithful to all His promises and loving toward all He has made.” When we remember that God is loving and faithful, we can trust Him to keep His promises.

Another important aspect of God’s character is His justice. In Romans 8:28, we read, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” God can use even the difficult times in our lives for His glory and our ultimate good.

Seek God’s Will
During uncertain times, it is essential to seek God’s will for our lives. When we trust in His plan, we can find peace and comfort. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” By seeking God’s will, we can have confidence that He will guide us in the right direction.

Build Your Faith
One way to trust God during uncertain times is to build our faith. Romans 10:17 says, “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” By reading the Bible and spending time in prayer, we can strengthen our faith and trust in God’s plan.

Connect with Others
During times of uncertainty, it is important to connect with others who share our faith. Hebrews 10:24-25 says, “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” By connecting with other believers, we can find support and encouragement.

In closing, trusting God during uncertain times can be challenging, but it is possible. By remembering God’s promises, focusing on His character, seeking His will, building our faith, and connecting with others, we can trust in God’s plan for our lives. As the famous pastor Charles Stanley once said, “Trusting God means looking beyond what we can see to what God sees.” Let us trust in God every day during these uncertain times.
