But Jeff, god wants us to have hair extensions and lip fillers and drive a Range Rover or Tesla. It’s the prosperity gospel!

No, God wants you to dwell on people with lip fillers and Teslas.

Many times. Many elected have been contacted as well.

Is John Randall at South OC Calvary using the same playbook? They were donating to the Moms For Liberty candidates for Capo USD in '24, violating tax exempt laws.

I thought I would point out the differences between the major faiths.

Muslims don’t recognize Jews as God's chosen people, Jews don’t recognize Jesus as the Messiah, Protestants don’t recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian world, and Evangelicals don’t recognize each other at Hooters.

Warning: Pearlman doesn’t “do” others pointing out stuff to him; he’ll just deflect to ineffective and unoriginal put-downs with an opinion disguised as fact to quench the rabid thirst of his menopausal, crotchety harpy-fans.

They’re hypocrites. Jesus had something to say about hypocrites. Perhaps Jack and Sonia should reflect on those words.

There’s not a greater example of HATE than Christian LOVE

It’s all so gross. They! Are all so gross. Clearly showing compassion and care to vulnerable children and treating all children with kindness and respect as a reflection of the way God treats his children are not Christian values they teach, preach, nor live.

And if fairness in girls sports is the name of their new game, there are scores more athletes the rabid right could target. The fake or relative’s address user. The testosterone taker. The 7 year old kindergartner. As well as substantial issues and inequities they could easily tackle… practice and game times and venues. Volunteer vs paid vs private coaching. Aging equipment, crappy fields. You feel me …

But we know fairness isn’t their goal. Cruelty is.

Old Testament biblical texts written in Hebrew (and some Aramaic) were translated from Hebrew to Greek and from Greek to Latin to comprise the New Testament. Scribes tasked with these translations were not necessarily fluent in any of the aforementioned languages (with the possible exception of Desiderius Erasmus) thus many mistakes and mistranslations are likely. Consider further that said scribes were often intoxicated and plagued with poor eyesight. Imagine the old game “telephone” and there you have the foundation of beliefs for these hypocrites.

You sure you’re not referring to Pearlman’s ancestors?

Agree with everything here about the evil and dangerous evangelical goofs in the OC. I spend half my time in the OC (where I grew up) and half in the Bay Area. Up north they have the opposite problem which is far left cranks shouting down people as transphobes for not wanting them in girls' sports. I also witnessed a CIF playoff quarter-final almost completely wrecked by a trans athlete who ran over lacrosse defenders like former NFL running back Earl Campbell. It was like watching a NFL player run over a freshman in high school. I had no experience or opinion on the matter until I saw it live in my daughters' game... Indeed, I wish both extremes would pipe down and go away.

Our board in Capo proposed to have a civil discussion to look at potential ways to find some compromises on this topic. One side objected which gives me pause with their goals. We can agree that subject is nuanced. Like with masks, and any culture war, we could have worked to find middle ground but one side always refuses to come to the table.

You have to talk to the other side to get anything going. In this case just put the team sports issue on a statewide ballot and let the majority prevail.

My question is how to police this. Fairness would require every girl to pass whatever metric we outline. Birth certificates can be forged. So how do we prove who is a ‘girl’? No one is looking down my daughter’s pants. Perhaps if we came to this with kindness and acceptance instead of vitriol and hate we’d have people much more willing to find fairness and reasonable solutions. I have friends that live out of state and it’s not something that’s even talked about. They legit don’t care.

Hi Jeff... I write about Hibbs here a couple years ago. https://www.orangejuiceblog.com/2023/07/from-temecula-to-orange-the-normal-people-rise-up/

He was behind the nutjob takeover of Orange USD, by pushing Madison Miner. The normal people got the board back in '24... and we got back PYLUSD... but then we lost CAPO to the crazies the same time! It's whack-a-mole and megapastors like Hibbs (along with Charter $) never give up.

Lotta funny stuff about Hibbs on my story though...

Don’t forget Young Kim! She is on display there also while she votes to cut medical care for the disabled, children and seniors and lies about it. She then fills her FB page smiling with her knife behind her back posing at food banks, medical clinics, schools,etc

No, all religions are the same just as all liberal idiots are the same.
