Everything wrong with the American left was on display at the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) dinner held on March 22, 2025, in Los Angeles. For the few people blessedly unfamiliar with HRC, it is the largest “LGBTQ+” organization in the United States and, as such, is hellbent on normalizing sexual deviance. Time permits a brief look at just three of HRC’s special guests: Illinois’ incompetent governor, JB Pritzker; AOC-wannabe U.S. Representative from Texas, Jasmine Crockett; and bisexual actress Hannah Einbinder.
While currying favor with the perverse, Crockett confirmed her well-earned reputation as an intolerant, uncivil termagant by mocking Governor Abbott’s disability:
Ya’ll know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there. Come on, now! And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot ass mess.
Abandoning collegiality and civility in favor of bigoted discrimination is nothing new for Crockett.
Now facing a congressional censure, Crockett did what all adolescents do when caught misbehaving. She told a hilarious whopper:
I wasn’t thinking about the governor’s condition—I was thinking about the planes, trains, and automobiles he used to transfer migrants into communities led by Black mayors, deliberately stoking tension and fear among the most vulnerable.
Crockett continued, focused solely on the purported support of “the people” for sexually integrated bathrooms. She waxed melodramatic about the grave injustice against which the people must fight. That injustice is the requirement that crossdressing Congressman McBride not use women’s bathrooms at the Capitol.
And then, despite the fear and loathing Democrats have of conservative expressions of faith—something Democrats screech violates the sacrosanct separation of church and state—Crockett went there:
The power belongs to the people, and it is time for the people to rise up and say, “we are tired of this D.C. bullshit.” … I truly am a Christian not the fake Christians that we hear about, but like I’m a real one. And with that I truly believe that God has ordered my steps. I can tell you that I don’t believe that I stand here by accident, but I stand here on purpose. I stand here on the purpose that God has written over my life. … Progress looks like being able to marry whoever it is that you love. Progress looks like federal courts standing on the side of trans service members.
Anyone who has read the Bible would know there is no biblical mandate for rejecting one’s God-given sex. There is no biblical mandate for crossdressing or for referring to men as women. There is no biblical mandate for the sexual integration of private spaces.
Anyone who has read the Bible would know that Jesus defines marriage as the union of one man and one woman. And she would know that God explicitly condemns homoerotic acts, asserting that those who engage in them will not see the kingdom of heaven.
So, I don’t know who has been writing purposes all over Crockett’s life, but it’s definitely not God.
Illinois’ embarrassing Governor JB Pritzker said some equally stupid things:
The mixture of the energy of California and the freshness of Chicago honestly is a recipe that’s an especially fitting for tonight’s gathering. About a century ago, our nation’s first known gay rights organization opened its doors in my hometown of Chicago. Then the first national gay rights organization was founded right here in Los Angeles, and in celebrating the work of HRC tonight, I like to think that we are also honoring that trailblazing spirit of justice that’s long connected our two communities.
There’s a touch of inadvertent satire in those four sentences beginning with the image of California’s “energy” and Chicago’s “freshness” and ending with the “spirit of justice” Pritzker sees animating L.A. and Chicago.
Nothing says California energy quite like California’s rolling blackouts. Nothing says Chicago “freshness” quite like the stench of homelessness and murder. And nothing says “spirit of justice” like the infamous, enduring political corruption in Chicago; misdemeanor retail theft in California; and compulsory taxpayer funding of illegal immigrants in both California and the sanctuary city of Chicago.
Americans may want to pay close attention to the leftist “wisdom” that Pritzker—who hopes one day soon to run the entire country—preached to his unholy choir:
I first got my start in activism right here in the state of California as a little kid growing up in Silicon Valley in the 1970s. My mother was an activist for reproductive rights and LGBTQ rights, and she took me to pride parades back when, well, they weren’t really parades. They were protests. So, I have to laugh when I hear the right-wing carry on about the dangers of exposing kids to trans people or same-sex couples because I’m living proof that introducing your kids to the gay agenda might result in them growing up to be governor.
Pritzker, being dull of mind, apparently didn’t see what message his anecdote teaches outside his insular leftist cone of ignorance.
From his endearing childhood tale, Americans learn that what children are exposed to when young may very well shape who they will become.
They learned that Pritzker’s mother taught him in word and deed to believe the product of conception between two humans is dispensable and devoid of even the most minimal protection from the predations of bigger, stronger, more-developed humans.
They learned that Pritzker’s mother taught him there are no boundaries with regard to sexual acts and that marriage has no intrinsic nature.
They learned that Pritzker wants children to be exposed to leftist dogma about the nature of incipient life, the rights of the preborn, and sexual libertinism as young as possible in order that they will grow up to be activists. (Illinoisans already know that about Pritzker, whose first order of business once elected to the office of governor was to “trans” all Illinois schools.)
And from his anti-Norman Rockwell childhood anecdote, Americans learned that Pritzker laughs at the good, right, and healthy views of normal Americans.
The swanky HRC soiree didn’t include just politicians sassy and dull to lick the kinky boots of attendees. No sexual deviance event would be complete without a Hollywood celebrity, and the HRC dinner was no exception.
The Visibility Award was given to bisexual actress and comedian Hannah Einbinder, who stars in the award-winning HBO Max series Hacks.
Her mother is original Saturday Night Live cast member Laraine Newman, and her brother is “transgender” comedian and drag performer Spike Einbinder, who uses the pronouns “they” and “them.”
Reinforcing Pritzker’s central point that exposing children to deviant sexuality at an early age shapes them, Einbinder said in an interview,
I also come from a really progressive, liberal, Jewish, queer family. I have two trans siblings; my grandmother was an out lesbian in the sixties. That’s my world.
The Jewish Hannah Einbinder used her award to speechify ominously for several leftist causes, beginning with a Chicken Little warning about the falling sky:
The single most pressing issue of our time is climate change. … This is not some amorphous problem. We know exactly how it happened and exactly who is responsible. In my opinion, there are architects of humanity’s slow extinction and the destruction of planet Earth. They are men with names.
But she wasn’t invited as a Greta Thunberg stand-in, so, after naming the names of the men whom she called “sociopaths,” she moved on to mention her sexual peccadilloes, using them as a transition into a condemnation of Israel:
My queerness is a tradition of social justice, as is my Judaism. To me, these are traditions of humanity, of care for human life, all human life. Equally, as a queer person, as a Jewish person and as an American, I am horrified by the Israeli government’s massacre of well over 65,000 Palestinians in Gaza. I am ashamed and infuriated that this mass murder is funded by our American tax dollars. It should not be controversial to say that we should all be against murdering civilians.
How ironic that an admonition against murdering innocents would come from the mouth of a woman who supports the slaughter of innocent humans in their mothers’ wombs.
Here’s an unoriginal idea: Maybe bisexual Hannah, her lesbian lovers, and her two “trans” siblings should move to Gaza and help Hamas rebuild. I’m sure members of Hamas and their hordes of Palestinian allies will show them the kind of justice and tolerance she can’t find in an America where women are fighting to keep men out of their locker rooms. I’m sure Hamas will let her crossdressing brother Spike use women’s bathrooms.
Well, there you have it. A member of Congress, a governor who seeks the presidency, and a denizen of our powerful storytelling industry all conspiring to undermine America. Crockett made that goal clear in her closing:
I want you to leave here with this: No matter what, we never give up. We’re going to meet this moment with what it deserves. We are going to stand in their way at every step and every turn. We’re going to be that constant presence hovering over their shoulder. We’re that thorn in their side. We’re the fence, the wall, the gate that they have to overcome.
Crockett seeks to be a thorn to hurt and a wall to stand in the way of good people trying to do good things. Pritzker seeks the same.
