Our Moral Compass Is Not Broken, It Points South
• United Airlines plane slows to avoid collision above San Francisco; 2 passengers injured
• Calif. school district sued after requiring fifth-graders tutor kindergarteners on gender identity
Murphy's Law of Substitution: When people are unable or unwilling to do their actual jobs, they often try to conceal their incompetence by doing other things and then boasting about it.
Our national security is weakening. The armed services, except the Marines, are unable to meet recruiting goals and are seriously understaffed. After the bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan, and in view of Biden-Harris's demonstrated weakness, would you enlist? Other agencies concerned with security, including the Secret Service, the FBI, the Border Patrol, the FAA which hires air traffic controllers, and our local police, are also understaffed and – perhaps even worse – demoralized.
Not to worry. We may not be able to keep our borders safe from drug runners and human traffickers, and we may have trouble keeping airliners from playing bumper cars, but do not despair. We can take fifth graders and force them to groom kindergarteners by teaching them about "gender fluidity."
But you know what is really fluid? Our morals. People say our moral compass is broken. No, things are even worse. If our moral compass were broken, we would recognize this and sadly discard it. But it is not broken. It was sabotaged and points south. And many people are following it. You know where that leads – a place that's terribly hot.
