Better Report Me Now

“If government be founded in the consent of the people, it can have no power over any individual by whom that consent is refused.” – William Godwin, 1793

“Every individual of mankind has an ‘inalienable right to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness,’ and it is solely to protect and secure the enjoyment of these right unmolested that governments can properly be instituted among men.”- Josiah Warren, 1863

I found these two quotes in a series of essays from a book I am reading, “The Anarchist Handbook,” organized by Michael Malice. The title may disturb or even shock you. It may shock you even more to know that one of the contributors of an essay in this collection was an avowed Socialist and was deported from our country by J. Edgar Hoover for her views. She went to Russia where she told Lenin to his face that he was doing things incorrectly. She advocated strongly for individual freedom. And we thought anarchists were crazy people.

And now, this quote:

An unnamed senior DHS official who spoke with reporters Tuesday said the department “will work to improve public awareness of federal resources to address concerning or threatening behavior before violence occurs.”

The “see something say something” campaign aimed a stopping Islamic terrorism could be applied to domestic threats, the official said.

“This involves creating contexts in which those who are family members or friends or co-workers know that there are pathways and avenues to raise concerns and seek help for those who they have perceived to be radicalizing and potentially radicalizing towards violence,” said the senior DHS official.

Of those three quotes, which one seems most tyrannical?

If you didn’t pick the one from DHS, we need to talk. The first two talk about the rights of the individual and the subservience of the government. The third one establishes a defacto “thought police” state much like that created by Hitler, Stalin, or Mao. Yet, the first two authors would be considered enemies of this country based on their views. The third one would be called a true patriot. Shocking, isn’t it?

It makes me wonder how we have come so far in this country that the basic right of the individual to have an opinion and state it is seen as so dangerous that it is worth being investigated.

I guess we should not be surprised that the government is now asking friends and relatives to report friends and members of their family for thinking differently. They had a great test case into how this would work with Covid. How many videos have we seen of people harassing those who chose not to wear a mask or take a vaccine? Yes, there are people who believe in the precepts of the NAZI party walking around in our towns and neighborhoods. These are the same people who scream “patriotism” to force you to get a vaccine. They are the same ones who will have a temper tantrum over someone using the wrong pronouns or not stating their white privilege and guilt.

And now they have the cardboard cutout Presidential facsimile Joe Biden proclaiming that he wants these people caught and handled for stating anything negative about his regime or the flawed election that got him installed. His handlers know his administration is going down in flames and they would prefer no one notices.

While we are talking about Biden the Cardboard Cutout, let’s remember how cardboard cutouts were used this past year.

When athletes were allowed to compete in public in 2020, people weren’t allowed to attend. So, teams made huge cardboard cut outs of people to simulate fans in the stands. They piped in crowd noise as well, all to make the athletes feel like they were competing in a stadium filled with fans.

In the end, the cut outs were just paper. Fake and merely put there for optics. One athlete even commented that they were “kind of creepy,” and not very motivating.

I think this is where many of us are with our current regime in D.C. We know it’s not real. We know the people in DC are like the cardboard cut outs. They have no connection with the people of this country, no energy to solve the real problems, and no love for this country or its citizens. They are there for optics only. They are a distraction for the people and the media to keep us occupied. And they are certainly creepy.

And they are not running things. At various times I thought Obama and his staff was and maybe they are. But, I believe that someone else is exerting more power, someone more authoritarian and even more creepy than the cardboard cutouts.

The Deep State is alive and well and in full control.

If you want to, I guess you can call me a “conspiracy theorist” which would be apropos since it was the CIA that coined that term after the Kennedy Assassination in 1963. It was used to demean those who didn’t believe the lone gunman theory. And now it is being used against those of us who think the CIA, FBI, DHS, etc. are the real power behind what happens in D.C.

It might work except that little bits and pieces of evidence keep coming out that they are. There was the unfounded prosecution of Mike Flynn by the Obama DOJ and FBI. Then we have the ridiculous sham impeachment of Trump based on evidence that was manufactured by the FBI. And let’s not forget all those illegal wire taps James Comey and Rod Rosenstein acquired on then candidate Trump.

I think one of the most compelling pieces of evidence is the FBI’s part in encouraging, organizing, and participating in the January 6th breach of the Capital. While people who have been indicted for “trespassing on federal property” are being illegally detained in the D.C. jail, there are others who are walking around free even though they played a major role. Why? That was their job. They were feds who had “infiltrated” different groups hoping to incite them to violence. It worked.

Which is funny because it didn’t seem there were any FBI undercover agents infiltrating ANTIFA and BLM in 2020.

Here’s the story from Tucker Carlson:

It was infuriating when we thought Antifa and BLM put on this charade so they could blame Trump supporters. Now, thinking that there is a deep state that is willing not only to instigate these events to influence public opinion, but to ruin people’s lives to perpetuate the lies is absolutely terrifying as well.

But, it’s been going on for awhile. According the Revolver.com, an internet news site, these agencies have acted in this way for a very long time even to the extent of creating events to get the U.S. into war. Remember, Kennedy wasn’t fond of J. Edgar Hoover and despised the CIA.

Knowing this, we can assume that many events that occur are due to interference from people like John Brennan. Every congressman that suddenly changes his opinion for no reason, every Supreme Court judge who makes a completely non-sensical decision. Are they due to interference from these powerful groups?

No wonder the Patriot Act was promoted so hard after 9/11. It gave these goons even more unfettered power.

And now, DHS has put us all on notice. Don’t speak your mind, don’t post your opinions, don’t comment harshly on the cardboard cutout Biden. You might get reported.

Well, you know what. Report me. Because I am not going to stop speaking my mind and pointing out the flaws and even crimes of the Biden farce. If that constitutes a crime, then make me a “thought criminal.”

I opened with quotes from an 18th century believer in the social contract and a proponent of Utopianism. Let me close with this from Thomas Jefferson:

“The spirit of the times may alter, will alter. Our rulers will become corrupt, our people careless. A single zealot may become persecutor, and better men be his victims. It can never be too often repeated that time for fixing every essential right, on a legal basis, is while our rulers are honest, ourselves united. From the conclusion of this war we shall be going down hill. It will not then be necessary to resort every moment to the people for support. They will be forgotten, therefore, and their rights disregarded. They will forget themselves in the sole faculty of making money, and will never think of uniting to effect a due respect for their rights. The shackles, therefore, which shall not be knocked off at the conclusion of this war, will be heavier and heavier, till our rights shall revive or expire in a convulsion. “

I choose revival. How about you?

Is This Just Round One? Do They Want Pandemics Forever?

I once heard someone say, “Past informs the present.” I believe it. How many times do we see the events of the past provide context for what is occurring currently? That’s why knowing history is so important.

I also believe that you look at past actions to predict future actions.

So, when I ask that question about the Covid Pandemic, I feel there are events of the past that provide a context of understanding for what is happening. Some provide parallels, some contrast.

I also think there is something coming on the horizon and my belief in that is founded on past actions and current hints.

Let’s start with the contrasts. If you lived through the 80’s, you remember the AIDS crisis. I do. I remember initially no one knew how easily AIDS could be spread. At one point, scientists told us that one could contract AIDS merely by being in contact with AIDS victims. It wasn’t sexual contact, it was incidental contact. If you hugged them. If you touched a surface they had been in contact with. If you were contacted by their blood.

I was a teacher at the time and we were told to wear gloves whenever dressing a child’s bleeding cuts, etc. We were told not to let any cuts or open sores on our body come into contact with a child that had AIDS of any surface they had contacted. We had children in our classes who had HIV and many teachers wanted to know who they were so they could avoid them.

They weren’t allowed to know that. We were told the child’s medical privacy was more important than our safety. No passports showing that people didn’t have HIV/AIDS. No vaccines. And AIDS, as we know, was almost always terminal.

At no point was the entire country shut down. No one had to get a vaccine. No masks.

We found out later that incidental contact with an HIV positive person was not the way AIDS was transmitted. It was almost exclusively via sexual contact or contact with an contaminated needle. For blood to infect you, it had to go into a cut. You were warned to avoid bodily fluids from other people.

So, people used gloves during medical procedures. Needles were discarded as soon as they were used. People were encouraged to use condoms during sex.

One sick fact is that Anthony Fauci, the same gargoyle popping up all over the place now, pushed harsh, expensive drugs on HIV positive people. These drugs didn’t necessarily help, but they were sent to Africa and other countries by the millions by some of the very same drug companies involved now. He perpetrated a huge scam on HIV positive people.

In 2009, the Swine Flu, H1N1, hit. I remember having to drive to my daughter’s college to pick her up and bring her home since she had it. Random schools did close down for a few days when numbers of infected children and staff increased. They cleaned the school and the children went back.

I remember being told that teachers should get the “flu shot.” It was voluntary and no one cared if you got it or not. No one wore masks. No businesses or events were closed or cancelled. Again, no one had to show they had the vaccine. But, every year after that, people were encouraged to get the “flu shot” every year. More doses for drug companies. More money.

Oh, and H1N1 had about the same death threat as Covid.

If you are seeing a contrast here, you are on track. Two serious diseases. No shutdowns or mandatory shots.

But, there is one similarity. Money. Money for the drug companies. With AIDS, the money came from sending the drugs to treat it to Africa and other badly infected continents. George W. Bush is often lauded for how he did more to solve the AIDS crisis in Africa than any other President. And maybe he did. He sent billions of dollars worth of drugs there. The drug companies did not do that for free. Someone paid for them.

But, how did the drug companies make money off of the Swine flu? Even though the vaccines didn’t create much income initially, remember that the Swine flu created the “flu shot every year” practice. And, each year, how many millions of people flock to their local drug store or doctor to get the vaccines? Each year, they claim the vaccine is a little different, but we all know it probably isn’t. They tell us that by saying that each strain of the flu is different and the vaccine may not or doesn’t cover them all. Think of how many people mindlessly line up for this shot, whether it does any good at all.

The drug companies are the constant link between these two events and Covid.

Drug companies don’t make the kind of money off of normal drug consumption that they can on something like the Covid 19 vaccine. For all the drugs they create to fight various ailments, they make a profit, but not the kind of profit they are making off of this. There are nine new billionaires in the world because of this vaccine and the drug companies are making more profit than ever before. And they get the government to do their ad campaign or worse to coerce people to use their money making product. They also got the waiver from the extensive testing needed for vaccines. Money saved, money earned.

Remember, they also are protected from lawsuits if their vaccines kill or cripple someone. The government did that.

It’s like Christmas for drug companies!

If you add in the initiative Trump implemented where many drugs were price controlled, like insulin was, the drug companies needed a big money maker. And it fell right in their laps with Covid.

Biden was the one who lifted price controls on drugs. More Christmas for big pharma.

You would think they have made enough money off the vaccine right now. But, as we know, corporations are greedy. So, they need the governments to keep pushing this vaccine and even forcing people to take it. It’s not working like they want, so they will have to move to plan B.

It’s not hard to figure out what plan B is.

It seems that we are currently in the middle of the intermission on the Plandemic. Fauci is under attack and whining about how nobody likes him anymore. Governors like our own sweet Larry Hogan are magnanimously giving citizens back the rights they had no right to restrict. People are back out in the public, enjoying mask free lives, spending time with family and friends. Businesses are open and looking for employees ( who, by the way have discovered the glory of staying home, not working, and collecting unemployment plus $300 a week). Inflation is through the roof, the supply lines aren’t what they used to be, and the economy is slowing to an agonizing belly crawl.

And let’s not forget Biden’s plan for a BIG expensive celebration on the National Mall on July 4th. He saved us all from certain death! Tone deaf anyone?

Two things need to happen. If Covid isn’t available as an excuse, how will Gampy Joe and his regime explain their complete and utter economic and foreign policy failures? How will they explain the success of Florida, Texas, South Dakota and other states when they ignored the CDC?

Covid needs to come back. It can’t come back as it was however. It has to come back as a “variant.” So, predictably, you hear bits and pieces about this variant and that variant. Here’s a great story from CNN about just that.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/dangerous-covid-variants-could-set-back-national-progress-officials-warn/ar-AAKVVri

If you read this article, it will be just as you expect. There’s info about how only 54% have gotten the full dose of the vaccine and that we won’t hit Gampy Joe’s goal of 70% by Independence Day. (He will be so sad if he remembers he set that goal. And the drug companies will be so sad that they didn’t make that extra money.)

And then the article talks about how there are dangerous variants out there and that those of us who aren’t vaccinated are at greater risk of getting them thus “setting back national progress.” ( Oh yes, Comrade, you are failing the collective when you don’t comply.) And then there’s this awesome quote from FDA “adviser” Paul Offit:

“If we’re past the pandemic — if this is all behind us — then that’s not going to be an issue, but we’re not past the pandemic,” Offit added. “The variants are still out there and becoming more contagious. I think when the winter comes, you’re going to see this virus surge again, so we still need a vaccine.”

Somehow Paul knows what is coming. I guess that’s why he is on the FDA advisory board. He is giving us that hint that will keep us all on pins and needles ( no pun intended).

I think he’s right. But I don’t think his reasons are. I think that the government and the major corporations of this country WANT it to come back. Big Pharma wants it back so they can continue to make big bucks by pushing that vaccine and all of it’s upcoming versions some more. Corporations want it back so they can squeeze and then swallow up the small businesses who won’t last another go round thus eliminating competition for business and employees. Prices will say high and wages will drop. And the government, well, they can’t wait for more control. Total control and more money.

They have learned their lesson well. They have found the new honey pot. And the only way they can keep it going is to is to keep it going. History has taught them well.

Question is, will the people be fooled again? I’m afraid of the answer.

My Apology to the World

I’m going to do something today that I rarely do and never do when I am talking about something I didn’t do and don’t participate in. I’m going to apologize to the world.

Recently, the United States sent a circus headed by a big clown to a very important meeting of European leaders. And for that, I apologize. I feel so bad about it, I recorded it.

Please listen at this link:

Some additional thoughts. When you hear Joe say, ” I’m going to get in trouble” when he goes off script, think about this. That’s what my 95 year old mother used to say to me when she was in memory care. She would tell me that she couldn’t say certain things or she would “get in trouble” with the nurses. She would say it in the same feeble voice Joe uses. That should scare the piss out of you. He is a pawn and he will be used to cause a tragedy in this country that will bring us to our knees.

Who is the Bigger Problem in our Government, Elected Officials or Unelected Bureaucrats?

Having worked in a public school system for over thirty years, I am well acquainted with how the bureacracy in any organization can be crucial into whether or not that organization succeeds.

In the school system, while the Superintendent or other administrators might be the public face for the schools, the biggest impact to whether the school system has success or not lies in the hands of the front line, the teachers.

How can that be?

Consider this. When I was Supervisor of Testing, the evaluation of how well I did my job centered around the organization and security of the testing. If there was a lapse in security, my head was on the chopping block. But, that security depended on the honesty and competence of every teacher or classroom aid conducting that testing. If one teacher screwed up, I was done. The teacher could also be prosecuted, but the union would provide legal representation. I didn’t have that luxury.

On the flip side of that, when I was a high school athletic director, I had ideas and procedures that I wanted to implement shot down by a middle level administrator, the county AD, who worried more about her self-perceived power than what was right for kids. And, she had little to no experience with actual athletic programs.

Two extremes of bureacracy and how it can impede an organization working in a competent and productive way. This is certainly true at the local level and in corporations, but imagine this.

There are currently anywhere from 2 million to 7 million federal employees. Some even estimate that number to be as high as 9 million. Now, some of them, approximately 3.7, are federal contractors who deliver security in war zones, janitorial services, statistical services, etc.

For this blog, let’s just deal with the over 2 million full time federal employees. Six hundred thousand of them are postal workers. Other agencies such as the military and the Department of Veterans Affairs comprise another large portion of the federal workers. And, of course, there is the military which contains over a million active duty personnel ( as of 2018).

So, other agencies, EPA, Department of Education, HUD, FBI, NSA, CIA, DOJ, and so on, divide the 400,000 remaining federal workers.

Where am I going with this? Well, I want you to think about our government. The President and his administration have a maximum of an 8 year tenure in office. Congress, while not having term limits, still face re-election every two to six years.

A federal employee, unless hired on a limited contract, can stay in their job forever. And, they have a union to defend them and prevent them from being “fired.” Neither the President nor the Congress has that. Hold on to this information.

From personal experience, I know that the process to fire an employee protected by the union is extremely expensive and time consuming. A superintendent told me in 1999 that it costs ” a half million dollars” to remove a tenured teacher. I’m sure it is more than that now. Federal employees are no different. Short of murdering or raping someone, those employees are there as long as they want to be. Remember Lois Lerner? The worst thing that happened to her was that she “retired” with full retirement and benefits. They are untouchable.

Every morning, I watch a show called “Too Cute.” It is about cute puppies and kitties and follows them from birth to when they are adopted to their forever homes. It’s a nice, safe, pleasant way to begin my day.

Many times, they show a mother dog ( or birther dog) who is nursing a number of puppies without have a teat for each puppy. The puppies crawl over and struggle mightily with each other to get a teat. At some point, one or two puppies are left out. They eventually get the leftovers, but every meal time they fight with the others to get a spot.

I think that many federal agencies are like the “birther dog” and that many of their employees are the puppies, fighting to find their own teat, their own turf, their own power. They use their jobs to move up the federal ladder. The more they get the attention of their bosses, the bigger their share of the teat.

So, while a President, Senator or Congressman can get on T.V. and say what he/she has to say and can influence millions of people, a federal employee can make sure that important actions will or will not occur or happen so slowly that they are ineffectual.

Imagine this. Let’s say that a President has demanded a certain Executive Order be carried out. Just for fun, let’s pretend he has ordered that all information on the dangers of vaccines be coalated and given to his advisors. Some middle level bureaucrat at the CDC decides he/she doesn’t want to have that information out there because he/she believes in the vaccines. Or, even more important, their boss or bosses may want to make the President look bad. That bureaucrat can “slow walk” that information in the hopes that the administration will forget about the request. Or, they can either create omissions of certain information before sending it. Remember that the CDC now says that some of the statistics regarding deaths from Covid were ” fudged.” ( My word, not theirs.)

Okay, so that’s bad. But, most of us don’t think that is such a critical problem. We are wrong.

I am in the process of reading a book called, “Gang of One; Memoirs of a Red Guard,” by Fan Shen. I recommend you read it, but if you do, be prepared. It is one of the most terrifying books I have ever read, and it is all true.

The author details his memories as a 12 year old in 1966 during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. It shows how members of the Red Guard did horrible things to make sure the Revolution succeeded.

One of the most horrifying aspects of their actions was how people in different stations of life would turn other people in as “traitors to the cause.” They did this in order to improve their own standing in the party and to move up the ladder. I can’t describe the horrific things done, but let’s just say there was extreme torture, murder, and banishment to prisons and “re-education” camps. Many of the people who committed there horrors were bureaucrats, eager to show their loyalty and to destroy people who might impede their rise in the party. And sometimes they just wanted to hurt people they didn’t like.

We are not at that point yet, at least not with our general population, but pay attention. Agencies such as Child Protective Services, Health Departments, the Internal Revenue Service, are prime candidates to use the tactics of their bureaucratic offices to deny rights to citizens. The IRS has been at it for a long time. So has CPS. Not on the scale of the Chinese Communist Party, but each little breach of citizen rights takes us down that road.

Our only hope is that the good people in these agencies will stop the others. Or that the ones doing wrong will see how bad this is. Fan Shen did after he had been participating with gusto and pride with the Red Guard. He escaped and now tells the story, a cautionary one.

Patrisse Cullors, A Study in Who Marxists Really Are

How the creator of Black Lives Matter and a self-proclaimed Marxist shows the real goals of leaders of Marxist’s movements.

These are the premises of Marxism as Marx wrote them:

  1. All of history is defined by class struggle.
  2. At some point the working class will seize all political power from the ruling elite, thus putting them in control. This is done by violent means.
  3. The abolition of private property, thus creating a classless and stateless communistic society. According to Marx’s theory of historical materialism, societies pass through six stages — primitive communism, slave society, feudalism, capitalism, socialism and finally global, stateless communism.
  4. “Workers of the world unite!” is the famous rallying cry that concludes the Manifesto and seeks to create a political structure that transcends national borders.
  5. Considering religion the “opium of the people,” Marx called for the abolition of all religions to create radical atheism.

This is the framework for all Marxist and Communist revolutions. These are the tenants that all Marxists should follow.

Funny how they never do. They follow some of them, but there are a couple that just require too much sacrifice. They are the “no private property” and no social classes. The first requires that no one has property or wealth. The second means that no one gets to place themselves above others.

So, let’s talk about Patrisse. She is a self proclaimed Marxist, but it appears that now she wants to back off that claim. It may be that she has finally figured out that she would have to give things up to be one.

For example, Patrisse is never in the middle of the Black Lives Matter marches and violence. She is off somewhere, away from the fire and destruction. Maybe she has one of those big old monitors that she can use to watch and direct that action. Sort of like Ed Harris’s character in the Truman Show.

One thing she does like to be in the middle of is the collection of donations. The millions of dollars that have come into Black Lives Matter have provided her with a wonderful income. So much so that she was able to buy mansions in Beverly Hills. So much for that no privately owned property.

She claims that the money she used for the mansions is from Netflix and her YouTube Channel. Quite frankly, her YouTube Channel has fewer viewers than my pet chihuahuas, who neither have a channel nor viewers. She can’t be making money off that! Regardless, if she is a true Marxist, all of it should belong to the “people,” “the non-working class” that support BLM.

It’s okay that she has no YouTube followers. She still gets invites to rub elbows with the rich, powerful, and political red carpet participants at ever award show, fundraiser, etc. But, oh, wait, doesn’t being rich, powerful and on the red carpet imply different classes? None of us get invites.

It’s not like Patrisse is unusual among Marxists. In fact, she is a very good case study in what Marxists do. They create their rules for everyone else. Stalin and Lenin did it. Castro did it. Maduro of Venezuala did it. Mao did it. Kim Jung Un of North Korea did it. It’s what Marxists do.

They live the good life while the rest of their population lives in poverty.

I’m not sure how they justify it to themselves. Maybe they think it’s okay because they believe they deserve it for all their ” hard work. ” Or maybe they just think that they pulled a fast one on their followers and by the time their followers realized it, it was too late.

Are there true believers in Marxism? I’m sure there are. Sadly, many of them either were killed by their leaders or came to their senses when it was too late to say so.

Oh, and by the way, Patrisse took the BLM money and left the organization. I guess she determined a different way to spread her Marxist ideas.

No, Mara Gay, Flying an American Flag Doesn’t Mean I Think I Own This Country

I fly an American flag. Sometimes I fly different flags that have flown over this country since the Revolution. But, mostly I fly a modern American flag.

Because I do, Mara Gay, New York Times editorial board member said this over the past weekend about flying American flags and I will be sharing my thoughts about what she said.

I SAW, YOU KNOW, DOZENS AND DOZENS OF PICKUP TRUCKS WITH EXPLETIVES AGAINST JOE BIDEN ON THE BACK OF THEM, TRUMP FLAGS, AND IN SOME CASES, JUST DOZENS OF AMERICAN FLAGS, WHICH IS ALSO JUST DISTURBING, WHICH ESSENTIALLY THE MESSAGE WAS CLEAR,
“THIS IS MY COUNTRY. THIS IS NOT YOUR COUNTRY. I OWN THIS.”

WOW. Poor thing. How terrifying! After all, in all the years of our country, no one has ever flown flags with expletives about Presidents. People were always so polite about President Trump and his supporters. Remember? Me either.

No wonder she was so upset. But if you look at the end of her statement flags with expletives didn’t set her off the edge. It was that dreaded American flag, and not ONE but DOZENS of them.

And, apparently, people who fly them are claiming that we own this country and no one else can be here.

That’s interesting. If we want to take her statement to it’s ultimate conclusion and logic, the very act of flying a flag of any kind, is a person’s attempt to show ownership of our country. So, I guess that Gay Pride flag means that Gay people think they own this country and I don’t. I guess that Black Lives Matter flag means that BLM supporters think they own this country and I don’t. So, if you fly a flag of any kind at all according to Ms. May, you’re NOT inclusive and accepting of others in your country. Should all flags be banned because they are discriminatory? And I mean ALL flags. Every last one. Even the cute ones Grandma puts out on her grandchild’s birthday? Doesn’t that flag make it seem like Granny owns that grandchild?

It couldn’t possibly signify anything else like love and pride. Mara says so.

Let’s read some more of her ” insightful” comments.

THE REALITY IS HERE THAT WE HAVE A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE AMERICAN POPULATION — I DON’T KNOW HOW BIG IT IS, BUT WE HAVE TENS OF MILLIONS OF TRUMP VOTERS (Over 74 million, Mara) WHO CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THAT THEIR RIGHTS AS CITIZENS ARE UNDER THREAT BY SIMPLE VIRTUE OF HAVING TO SHARE THE DEMOCRACY WITH OTHERS.

No, Mara. That’s not we believe is the threat to our Democracy. First of all, you can’t “share” Democracy. Democracy means to “share governance.” So, just by being what it is, it is shared. None of us, Trump Supporters, Stupid MSNBC Commentators, “share” it. It is shared by definition.

But, if you really want to see what Trump supporters are worried about, look at the way you, Mara, and your friends, are stripping away the rights of the people in this country, bit by bit. You are the ones who are promoting the unequal application of the law, of rights, etc. based on race, political and religious beliefs and any other silly whim of the week you have.

And more:

I THINK AS LONG AS THEY SEE AMERICANNESS AS THE SAME AS ONE WITH WHITENESS, THIS IS GOING TO CONTINUE. WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET EVERY AMERICAN A PLACE AT THE TABLE IN THIS DEMOCRACY, BUT HOW TO SEPARATE AMERICANNESS, AMERICA, FROM WHITENESS. UNTIL WE CAN CONFRONT THAT AND TALK ABOUT THAT, THIS IS REALLY GOING TO CONTINUE.

Okay, this word salad is really bad. First, there is no such thing as ” American-ness.” It is a word you pulled out of your ass-ness. But, the best part is that you want to get every American a place at the table in this Democracy, except for those damn White people. So, what you want is for all the people who are classified as White excluded from the conversation where you confront the problem. That doesn’t sound like Democracy to me. It doesn’t sound like a Representative Republic form of Democracy, which is what we have. It sounds, Mara, like racism. And Tyranny.

Plus, will you exclude all Whites? Gay? Trans? Mixed? Liberal? Marxist? Read what you said Mara, because this is what you said.

But wait, there’s more:

AND SO UNTIL WE’RE READY TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION, THIS (What? Flag Waving? Free speech?) IS GOING TO CONTINUE. WHAT REALLY IS CONCERNING TO ME AS WELL IS, IT’S NOT JUST DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS. ( I have to agree with you there, those Democrats in Congress are very concerning. They are awful.)I THINK THERE’S A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF AMERICANS, EVEN SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES IN JOURNALISM, WHO ARE INVESTED IN SOME WAY IN PRETENDING THAT THIS ISN’T THE THREAT THAT IT IS. (What, flying an American flag? Free speech? ) THAT IS THE REAL CONCERN. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE TRUMP VOTERS WHO ARE NOT GOING TO GET ONBOARD WITH DEMOCRACY, THEY’RE A MINORITY.( You really believe that, Mara? If so, what are you so afraid of?) YOU CAN MARGINALIZE THEM, LONG-TERM. ( Sort of like Mao did millions of his people, or Hitler did the Jews and other minorities. In other words, Mara, you wish to KILL US? That’s what Marxists mean by “marginalize.”BUT IF WE DON’T TAKE THE THREAT SERIOUSLY, THEN I THINK WE’RE ALL IN REALLY BAD SHAPE.

Wow. That went off the rails at the end. We went from hoards of flag waving Trump supporters to Trump Voters being a minority to Trump Voters being such a terrible threat that we must be killed.

And it all started with AMERICANS flying AMERICAN flags and that triggered her so much she went on MSNBC to senselessly prattle on about it.

Well, Mara, let me help you out a little.

I don’t fly my American flag to show ownership of this country. I fly it to show pride in my country and show thanks to the people who built it and died for it. I fly it to show my freedom and the freedom of all Americans, even stupid ones like you. I fly it because I refuse to give in to people like you who have no gratitude, no appreciation for how much this country and its people have done for you. There are many other countries in this world where you would be killed for your speech, your sexual orientation, your race, or all three.

Yes, Mara, you have the right and freedom in this country to put your stupidity and ignorance on full display to the entire world. And you did a good job of it.

Let me give you a suggestion. Next time you see dozens of American flags flying somewhere, get down on your knees and express your THANKS to GOD for allowing you to live here.

Be sure to read some of the responses she got on Twitter and her stupid answer back.

It seems she may have misread the situation since the flags were on Long Island and she lives in Manhattan. As Bill O’Reilly said, she lives in her Progressive bubble drinking Mojitos and crying about the evils of White Americans.

No, Mara Gay, Flying an American Flag Doesn’t Mean I Think I Own This Country

I fly an American flag. Sometimes I fly different flags that have flown over this country since the Revolution. But, mostly I fly a modern American flag.

Because I do, Mara Gay, New York Times editorial board member said this over the past weekend about flying American flags and I will be sharing my thoughts about what she said.

I SAW, YOU KNOW, DOZENS AND DOZENS OF PICKUP TRUCKS WITH EXPLETIVES AGAINST JOE BIDEN ON THE BACK OF THEM, TRUMP FLAGS, AND IN SOME CASES, JUST DOZENS OF AMERICAN FLAGS, WHICH IS ALSO JUST DISTURBING, WHICH ESSENTIALLY THE MESSAGE WAS CLEAR,
“THIS IS MY COUNTRY. THIS IS NOT YOUR COUNTRY. I OWN THIS.”

WOW. Poor thing. How terrifying! After all, in all the years of our country, no one has ever flown flags with expletives about Presidents. People were always so polite about President Trump and his supporters. Remember? Me either.

No wonder she was so upset. But if you look at the end of her statement flags with expletives didn’t set her off the edge. It was that dreaded American flag, and not ONE but DOZENS of them.

And, apparently, people who fly them are claiming that we own this country and no one else can be here.

That’s interesting. If we want to take her statement to it’s ultimate conclusion and logic, the very act of flying a flag of any kind, is a person’s attempt to show ownership of our country. So, I guess that Gay Pride flag means that Gay people think they own this country and I don’t. I guess that Black Lives Matter flag means that BLM supporters think they own this country and I don’t. So, if you fly a flag of any kind at all according to Ms. May, you’re NOT inclusive and accepting of others in your country. Should all flags be banned because they are discriminatory? And I mean ALL flags. Every last one. Even the cute ones Grandma puts out on her grandchild’s birthday? Doesn’t that flag make it seem like Granny owns that grandchild?

It couldn’t possibly signify anything else like love and pride. Mara says so.

Let’s read some more of her ” insightful” comments.

THE REALITY IS HERE THAT WE HAVE A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE AMERICAN POPULATION — I DON’T KNOW HOW BIG IT IS, BUT WE HAVE TENS OF MILLIONS OF TRUMP VOTERS (Over 74 million, Mara) WHO CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THAT THEIR RIGHTS AS CITIZENS ARE UNDER THREAT BY SIMPLE VIRTUE OF HAVING TO SHARE THE DEMOCRACY WITH OTHERS.

No, Mara. That’s not we believe is the threat to our Democracy. First of all, you can’t “share” Democracy. Democracy means to “share governance.” So, just by being what it is, it is shared. None of us, Trump Supporters, Stupid MSNBC Commentators, “share” it. It is shared by definition.

But, if you really want to see what Trump supporters are worried about, look at the way you, Mara, and your friends, are stripping away the rights of the people in this country, bit by bit. You are the ones who are promoting the unequal application of the law, of rights, etc. based on race, political and religious beliefs and any other silly whim of the week you have.

And more:

I THINK AS LONG AS THEY SEE AMERICANNESS AS THE SAME AS ONE WITH WHITENESS, THIS IS GOING TO CONTINUE. WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET EVERY AMERICAN A PLACE AT THE TABLE IN THIS DEMOCRACY, BUT HOW TO SEPARATE AMERICANNESS, AMERICA, FROM WHITENESS. UNTIL WE CAN CONFRONT THAT AND TALK ABOUT THAT, THIS IS REALLY GOING TO CONTINUE.

Okay, this word salad is really bad. First, there is no such thing as ” American-ness.” It is a word you pulled out of your ass-ness. But, the best part is that you want to get every American a place at the table in this Democracy, except for those damn White people. So, what you want is for all the people who are classified as White excluded from the conversation where you confront the problem. That doesn’t sound like Democracy to me. It doesn’t sound like a Representative Republic form of Democracy, which is what we have. It sounds, Mara, like racism. And Tyranny.

Plus, will you exclude all Whites? Gay? Trans? Mixed? Liberal? Marxist? Read what you said Mara, because this is what you said.

But wait, there’s more:

AND SO UNTIL WE’RE READY TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION, THIS (What? Flag Waving? Free speech?) IS GOING TO CONTINUE. WHAT REALLY IS CONCERNING TO ME AS WELL IS, IT’S NOT JUST DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS. ( I have to agree with you there, those Democrats in Congress are very concerning. They are awful.)I THINK THERE’S A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF AMERICANS, EVEN SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES IN JOURNALISM, WHO ARE INVESTED IN SOME WAY IN PRETENDING THAT THIS ISN’T THE THREAT THAT IT IS. (What, flying an American flag? Free speech? ) THAT IS THE REAL CONCERN. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE TRUMP VOTERS WHO ARE NOT GOING TO GET ONBOARD WITH DEMOCRACY, THEY’RE A MINORITY.( You really believe that, Mara? If so, what are you so afraid of?) YOU CAN MARGINALIZE THEM, LONG-TERM. ( Sort of like Mao did millions of his people, or Hitler did the Jews and other minorities. In other words, Mara, you wish to KILL US? That’s what Marxists mean by “marginalize.”BUT IF WE DON’T TAKE THE THREAT SERIOUSLY, THEN I THINK WE’RE ALL IN REALLY BAD SHAPE.

Wow. That went off the rails at the end. We went from hoards of flag waving Trump supporters to Trump Voters being a minority to Trump Voters being such a terrible threat that we must be killed.

And it all started with AMERICANS flying AMERICAN flags and that triggered her so much she went on MSNBC to senselessly prattle on about it.

Well, Mara, let me help you out a little.

I don’t fly my American flag to show ownership of this country. I fly it to show pride in my country and show thanks to the people who built it and died for it. I fly it to show my freedom and the freedom of all Americans, even stupid ones like you. I fly it because I refuse to give in to people like you who have no gratitude, no appreciation for how much this country and its people have done for you. There are many other countries in this world where you would be killed for your speech, your sexual orientation, your race, or all three.

I Don’t Want No Trouble

North Carolina Lt. Governor Mark Robinson said it all at the North Carolina Republican Convention this past weekend. In a few words, nothing fancy, he pointed out how so many people justify their lack of action during these troubling times in our country. And then he ripped those justifications to shreds. Here’s a link to an excerpt:

https://americasvoice.news/mark-robinson-addresses-folks-who-stay-silent-because-they-dont-want-trouble/

I can’t watch this enough times. One of the best quotes out of his speech was this one:

“Trouble is good … Sometimes it’s good to run dead into it. Because when freedom is at hand, when freedom is being threatened, it’s a call. It’s a call to run toward trouble.” #NCGOP #NorthCarolina

I want you to take a moment and reflect on this quote. Let it soak into your mind. Let it stir your heart.

Sunday was the day we celebrated Armed Forces Day. More important, it is the day we reflect on this day in June of 1944, the day thousands of allied soldiers invaded Normandy in a battle to destroy the NAZI’s. Those soldiers on the land, sea and in the air, didn’t worry about the “trouble” they faced on that beach. Yes, they were afraid of dying. But, they put that all aside be they wanted to preserve freedom. As one soldier said, “Let’s get it over and knock their teeth out.” So many were killed, cut down even before they reached the beach.

At the end of May, we celebrated Memorial Day, a day to commemorate those who died in all of the wars our country has engaged in since the Revolutionary War. Those soldiers, men, boys, women, didn’t worry about the “trouble.” They were scared, to be sure, but they overcame their fear to defend us and our freedom. ( And, while we are on this, shame, shame, shame on the “Lincoln Project” for comparing our soldiers in WWII to Antifa in an ad. And to MSNBC’s Brian “My Fictional Life” Williams for touting the ad. They aren’t the only ones. So did failed comedian Patton Oswalt and NPR’s ( National Propaganda Radio) Mara Liasson. Stupid, horrible people.)

But, back to the important people who make a real, positive impact on the world. Our soldiers didn’t didn’t defend a king. Or a President. Or a Congress. They defended US, the people. They defended ideas, equality, freedom, independence, and self determination.

And so now, here we are. We have a President that thinks he is a King. He thinks he is a king as evidenced by his total disregard for the best interest of the people of this country demonstrated by his executive orders that cost people jobs, small businesses, and their rights.

We have a Congress that rules more like a gathering of royalty, giving themselves lifelong jobs, benefits, and wealth via their self-serving votes and accumulation of bribes. They hide behind fences and walls to keep people out while allowing hundreds of thousands of illegals to come across our border to threaten us.

Most of all, those soldiers didn’t fight to allow Marxist groups to continuously divide us, deny us our rights to free speech, or indoctrinate our children to their sick and perverted ideas of hatred and insanity. They fought against tyranny, not to support it. So, no, they weren’t at all like Antifa, who are more like Hitler’s Brown Shirts and SS.

But, our soldiers didn’t fight and then expect the rest of us to sit on our asses and not do our part. They expected us to fight these things as well, to speak up, to call them out. Like the Lt. Governor said, they expected us to run toward the trouble, just like they did.

So, how do we run toward the trouble?

When they spout their stupid Marxist ideas, discount them. Do your research and know what Marxism is and let them here that you know what it is and why it fails. Do it loudly and on every single public forum.

When they call you a racist, fight back. Point out their racism, their prejudice, laugh at them. Do it loudly and on every single public forum.

When they lie, call them liars. Call them out on every social media and public platform, loudly and in capital letters. Challenge all their fact checkers and point out their biases and incorrect information.

If you are challenged about your values and beliefs, call them out on theirs. Don’t be afraid of the names they will call you or the ways they will try to silence you. You are strong.

Like the Lt. Governor said, ” Run toward trouble.” Now. Before all we have is gone because we were too afraid.

Obama is Talking and That is Good News for Conservatives…I’ll Tell You Why

Take A Good Look at This Picture-Creepy Right?

Bear with me while I run down some events of the last five months. I will get to the point after, so if you must scroll down, go ahead.

Colonial Pipeline is shut down by a cyber attack almost right after Biden shuts down the XL Pipeline assuring that domestic oil production will plummet. Unions are furious that the XL Pipeline jobs are gone.

Biden stops construction of the border wall, once again eliminating jobs while bringing in hundreds of thousands of illegals.

Biden signs an Executive Order virtually nullifying Title IX and women’s sports

Biden rescinds Trump’s order to keep the Chinese Communist Party out of our power grid.

A cargo ship named ” Evergreen” gets stuck in the Suez canal, interupting the shipping and supply chain for weeks.

Biden approves buying oil from Russian owned companies who may have a financial connection to his family.

9 New billionaires have been created by the Covid ” pandemic” and the development of the vaccines. They all profited from made up emergency.

Bill Gates promotes the following via the World Economic Forum and their “Great Reset” and “One World Order” initiatives: depopulation, abortion, vaccination of everyone, vaccine passports, elimination of meat as a food product particularly in some wealthier countries, Artificial Intelligence, and using computer software to divulge the origination of any thought, post, document, etc. posted on the internet. ( He offers this to the CIA and NSA.) Biden is a big favorite of the WEF and Gates.

Israel and New York implement electronic vaccine passports.

The BIll and Melinda Gates Foundation supports the World Health Organization and a variety of drug initiatives with massive donations. The WHO shields China from scrutiny regarding the origin of Covid 19.

Bill divorces his wife and it is discovered that he is close friends with Jeffrey Epstein, pedophile and human trafficker. The Biden administration dismantles the Human Trafficking Task Force instituted by Trump.

Commercials for fake meat ramp up. Bill Gates owns many of these companies.

A cyber attack suddenly closes down one fifth of the meat producers in the several countries including the United States. The supply of meat and pork is negatively impacted, making meat more scarce and more expensive.

Fake meat commercials ramp up even more.

Social media like Facebook suppress news story or even individual opinions about the documented dangerous and wide spread effects of the vaccines including Bell’s Palsy, rashes, paralysis, blood clots and even death. Facebook stock prices drop again after a whistleblower exposes a company strategy to ban and shadow ban these stories. It is shown that they are colluding with the Biden regime, Fauci, and the CDC.

VP Harris conducts phone calls with foreign leaders, which is unprecendented. She also meets with them instead of the President, who struggles to remember the names and titles of foreign leaders and his own cabinet. She does nothing at the Border, which is a problem Biden actually gave her.

The Biden regime sends money to families with children, illegals, and even people living in Japan. Social Security recipients don’t get a raise. Veterans continue to live under bridges.

Biden Education Department prioritizes school systems teaching Critical Race Theory for federal funds.

Facebook starts airing commercials encouraging people to join Facebook something they have never done. Congress introduces a bill to limit the power of Social Media and Tech giants.

The recall effort for Governor Newsome is initiated and has enough signatures. Newsome then dispurses money to the population under vague circumstances. The money largely came from Federal dollars, even though California had a surplus. Much of the money is given to illegals.

A teacher in Florida refuses to teach his students that there are more than two sexes and he is suspended. Biden’s HHS Assistant Secretary is a Transsexual and his Secretary of Defense promotes transsexuals in the service.

Governors in Ohio and Maryland offer lottery prizes for those who have had the vaccine. Celebrities make expensive commercials to promote these vaccines. This for a virus with a 99.6% recovery rate.

It is discovered that NIH, led by Anthony Fauci, funded and supported “gain of function” studies in Wuhan, China and hid that fact. Dr. Fauci comes under fire since this is illegal. He decides to write a children’s book. Rand Paul calls for him to be fired.

Biden cancels the Trump initiated investigation into the Wuhan lab regarding the release of the Covid virus and gain of function research funded partially by NIH under the direction of Dr. Fauci.

Dr. Fauci’s guilt in the promotion of the dangerous AZT drug for AIDS and HIV patients in the 80’s causing the death of millions is exposed.

China prepares nuclear weapons for attack in case the U.S. attempts to investigate the Wuhan Lab and threatens Biden.

Iran denies the United Nations access to nuclear sites for inspection.

Hamas attacks Israel and Israel is blamed. Biden sends weapons and money to Hamas.

The elections in Arizona and various other states are being recounted and investigated for fraud.

Congress pushes for election reform that would allow more election fraud.

500,000 illegals are let in at the border and shipped in secret to red states and housed there. They are not Covid tested or vaccinated.

Black Lives Matter head resigns amid allegations that she misused donations to buy 5 one million dollar mansions. A BLM activist is arrested for many sexual assaults. Meanwhile, the Biden regime mandates that BLM flags be flown at all US installations, domestic and abroad.

400 plus protestors who have been charged with trespassing on federal property and disorderly conduct are kept in jail, beaten, and placed in solitary confinement without the ability to communicate with family. Anyone professing a belief that the election was fraudulent are targeted online. Meanwhile, those who rioted, burned property and injured people are given ROR’s.

Ashli Babbet’s murderer, a Capitol police officer, is not identified and is cleared all charges for shooting the unarmed woman protester who was a 14 year Air Force vet.

And, of course, the constant bumbling, mumbling, and incompetence of Biden is on display to the world every time he appears in public.

So, all of a sudden the other day, Obama grants the New York Times and interview. Remember, nothing that this man does is by accident. It is always by design and has a purpose beyond the surface.

Barack Obama comes out from his chair hiding him in the bushes:

In a recent interview with Ezra Klein of the New York Times on the legacy of his presidency, former President Barack Obama praised President Biden and his administration for “essentially finishing the job,” adding credence to the critiques of those who’ve argued that the Biden administration seeks to pursue the same policies that led to the Trump backlash in 2016.

During the hour-long interview, Obama admitted the Biden administration is an extension of his own presidency, saying “90 percent of the folks” in his administration are now working for Biden.  ( HOW NICE OF BARACK TO LEAVE PEE PAW JOE 10%)

“They are continuing and building on the policies we talked about, whether it’s the Affordable Care Act, or our climate change agenda, and the Paris [climate accord],” Obama said.  https://thefederalist.com/2021/06/02/obama-joe-biden-is-essentially-finishing-the-job-of-the-obama-administration/

So, socialism. When you read this quote, note the Obama Administration members who are on Biden’s cabinet/staff, and the Biden cabinet and staff members who were not.

Indeed, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, and Biden’s top domestic policy adviser Susan Rice all served high-profile positions in the Obama administration.( Federalist)

It’s interesting because the areas Obama’s former staff are in charge of are the ones who can fully implement a socialist and one world government vision while destroying our country. Add a dash of Valerie Jarrett and John Kerry, and you see Obama is really in charge of the important areas. So, part of this comment is to tell everyone that Obama and his crew are REALLY in charge.

(BTW, notice there is NO Hillary Clinton? That’s no accident. One thing Obama knows is not to associate with losers.)

But, as I said in the beginning, there are no such things as coincidences. Republicans are starting to gain traction against these extreme policy decisions. Why, some of them are actually displaying guts and are throwing the Cheney/Bush crowd out. They are auditing elections in important states. People are starting to push back against the crazy decisions being made that are hurting the middle class, children and small businesses. And, today, a nationwide poll said Biden was named the ” weakest President in decades” by 42 percent of those polled.

Obama timed this interview right now for a reason. He is basically saying “Yes, I know Joe is an idiot but he is basically continuing my term and finishing our process to change America.” He is trying to make nervous and disappointed Democrat supporters feel confident about what is going on. Remember, Obama thinks he has the Midas touch.

I’m not sure why they would believe him. He has lied to them so many times in the past. ” If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor,” and “shovel ready projects” are the first two that come to mind. Then there was the time he promised to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. There are many more. It’s surprising that he has any pants left with all of them on fire.

And let’s not forget the times he betrayed this country to our enemies. And the time he spied illegally on a political opponent.

The bigger point is that Obama and his cabal must have internal polling that shows that Biden’s regime is going off the cliff faster than a speeding train on the wrong track. They are panicking as he does and says stupid thing after stupid thing. They are appalled at how incapacitated he is. Yes, some of the things he does are directed by them, but there are other things that Joe does independently that must scare the crap out of them. And try as they might, they can’t control the opinions and common sense of over 80 million people. And those people are waking up.

So, Obama climbed out of hiding from his chair in the bushes, and in his own narcissistic, arrogant way, attempted to save Biden and his regime from the disasters they have created.

And I think that is good news for Conservatives. Because what we are doing must be working. If it wasn’t, Obama wouldn’t have to say anything. He could just continue to pull the puppet strings behind the scenes and gloat.

In the next few days, we will see more of this, not only from Obama but from the minions, Jennifer Haberman from the New York Times, the MSNBC crew, CNN talking liars, and possibly even some RINO’s. They are scared. Watch Rachel Maddow on MSNBC. That guy is peeing his pants!

Nothing scares them more than an engaged and activated population of citizens. Remember, they are in a bunker protected from the people. People who do that are AFRAID. And, they use the January 6th encroachment as an excuse, but seriously, they weren’t this locked up after 9/11.

I actually think we might be turning this mess around.

Thanks for the clue Obama! Now, head back to your bush.

A Tale of Two Parents

I have two children. I raised them to have freedom to say and think what they want. But I also told them how to respect others and the views of others. I didn’t dictate their political opinions. But, they also knew that they would treat people with good manners and respect around me or pay the price. They are both adults now and even though their opinions and mine don’t jive, I know they are functioning adults in society who can express ideas to others clearly, rationally, and politely.

I started that at a very young age. Like when they were babies.

However, in my thirty plus years as a teacher and sixty plus years as a person, I have seen some pretty messed up children come from parents who think they are doing the right thing, but aren’t?

Let me give you an example. This is a generic example created from a variety of parents who have come to have conferences with me about their teenaged child.

In most cases, the child was not doing well in school. But, academics aside, the bigger issue was the behavior of the child. He/she was usually rude to adults, including parents; was aggressive and borderline violent to those who disagreed with his/her opinions, and did anything outlandish they could to get people’s attention.

The parent would often say to me, ” I don’t know what to do with him/her.”

After a discussion with the parent and maybe an observation of the parent and child together, the following parenting behaviors were apparent:

  1. The parent allowed the child to “freely express” him/her self without consequence even if that expression was rude and disrespectful to others.
  2. At an early age, the parent was afraid to discipline the child for fear it would hurt the child’s feelings or cause the child not to love the parent.
  3. The parent showered the child with whatever he/she wanted, and inserted themselves into any problems the child might have had with friends, teams, etc.
  4. The parent had a strategy of letting the child “discover” and ” decide” what they wanted with little or no input from the parent and certainly no boundaries.
  5. The parent allowed the child to have little or not respect for figures of authority, including the parent themselves!

It seems like a simple thing, and one that would not be bad for the child or for society to let children make their own way.

However, allowing a child inappropriate autonomy at a young age simply doesn’t work.

And then, add to it the constant barrage of propaganda promoting the fact that some races are evil, some are severely disadvantaged, and that the individual can not achieve their dreams.

How many millions of children growing up now will be the victims of this kind of hands off parenting, lack of guidance, and mis-directed anger and will end up living a less than fulfilling life?

BUT, THERE’s HOPE!

My friend, Reggie Skyrock, made this video today. It’s about Critical Race Theory and it is excellent. Not just because of his points about CRT but because of the wonderful video of a father and his daughter.

Here is the link:

The only complain I have is that it didn’t take 60 seconds to raise this wonderful little girl. I understand that the time refers to the length of the video, but I want to remind people that this father has raised this little girl since she was a baby. It’s clear.

It’s clear she has had love. It’s clear she learned how to treat people. It’s clear she learned how to believe in herself. It’s clear she had boundaries and discipline.

And it’s clear that this wonderful little girl will be a force in this world. Not for division, but for strength and true unity while defending the freedom and rights of others.

It’s clear that in this tale of two parents, I think the second one has done the better job. I can’t predict the future, but in this case I like my odds of being right.
