One must admit that the latest out of the so-called Department of Justice is baffling – but perhaps it’s not. Issuing subpoenas to hospitals demanding the most intimate and private information, including emails to and from parents and patients, the government is now going against doctors and parents, because they cared for transgender persons under the age of 19. The patients will also not be spared, for sure.
This isn’t caring for young people with gender dysphonia; it’s hunting for witches and their familiars. Here, Attorney General Bondi is no different than Judge Hathorne of Salem trial fame searching for whatever might offend his warped views of evil.
Goodness knows, that those who help patients troubled about their gender are just like witches enticing children to their doom. This from a regime that claims it stands for parental rights, of course. Some rights are just more equal than others.
Prayer for the Day
So blind that we are unaware of our sin, O God,
We ask that you open our eyes to the world around us;
Self-righteous and so full of pride, O Lord,
We ask that we learn the lesson of humility.
Evading our culpability for the evil done in our name,
We ask that you empower us so we speak with courage.
In the name of the One who shows us how to live,
Even Christ Jesus our Lord, Amen.
Thoughts for the Day
The subpoena is a breathtakingly invasive government overreach. It’s specifically and strategically designed to intimidate health care providers and health care institutions into abandoning their patients.

The DOJ using its broad powers to prevent fraud as a tool to target a disfavored minority group is deeply troubling. Not just for trans people but for anyone that the administration decides they don’t approve of.

Hear now my reasoning and the pleading of my lips,
Will you speak falsely for God, and speak deceitfully for God?
Will you show partiality toward God or plead the case for God?
Will it be well with you when God searches you out?
Job 13: 6-9
