Breaking Apart the Fabric of America

As a young boy - I was the youngest of four boys in my family - growing up in the late '50s & through the '60s I cherished any and every opportunity to spend time with my father. Time with him was sparse because he encountered difficulties of generating sufficient income to feed, clothe, and house us and almost always seemed to be away from home working. I recall vividly how my next older brother and I had to beg him for weeks to go on a one night camping experience not that far from our home we rented. 

One summer was especially difficult in that we had to endure a drought of funds and resorted to growing a large vegetable garden to survive until he could land a job. I never knew how my mom did it, but I learned there were more ways to prepare zucchini than I ever imagined. After that experience, I never wanted to eat another piece of that vegetable ever again! Despite those circumstances there were still brief moments where I clearly learned of his love for us all, and I admired his efforts to provide for us. It gave me a good foundation by which to raise my own two daughters who have become solid, contributing adults now to our very fragile society.

But the more important, and bigger issue, this life experience taught me was that I was blessed with growing up with a father figure in my life, unlike many of the elementary students I taught later as an adult. My career as a teacher crystallized in my mind just how significant this lack of a father can be in impacting the development of boys. Every year when the parent/teacher conferencing came around the number of families that had a biological father in the home decreased ever so slightly.

Now, recent research has confirmed what I've long suspected and feared; the goal of breaking apart the fabric of the cohesiveness of the American society has been a long, but successful endeavor of those force interested in taking down the American culture in order to conquer it; not by the typical means of warfare, but from within through the gradual blurring of our moral values. I refer my readers to a prior post here on my blog which lists the 45 goals of the communist party in America to understand why I say this.(Which items in this list do you think have contributed to an increase in single parent households?)

What has confirmed my personal suspicions? Recently Tucker Carlson's show has taken on the issue of the impact of fatherless boys in our country. I urge my readers to use the links below to view the series on this topic and determine for yourself just how significant this has been on our culture. For anyone who disputes any of the points made here, fine, you have a right to your own opinion, but you don't have a right to your own facts.

That's An Understatement!

Upon opening and reading the first two paragraphs of today's - 3/20/18 - email intro. from The Morning Wire, my reaction was essentially a more crude expression to this posts title, which commonly uses a vulgar reference to Sherlock. I'll let you fill in the first two words.

Anyway, here's what it said:

The 2018 legislative session was one of the more productive in recent memory, driven in significant part by the leadership of the Senate Democrats.  As one legislator told me last week, "There was some significant pent up demand there."

This week, we're seeing some of the session tension blow off, while some other tension builds among the King County Democrats.

The first sentence's opening phrase, correctly interpreted actually means; "The 2018 legislative session nearly got us Democrats the opportunity to get a state income tax passed, but the public's opposition to it was too strong." The last phrase of that first sentence correctly interpreted actually says; "... driven by the Senate Democrats' lust for sucking the people's life blood out of them." And, if there was any kind of "pent up demand", it came from their desire to have someone like Shama Sawant become their leader and enforce greater control over every tax payer's livelihood, because more is never enough for them.

Now, with the legislative session over, the King County Democrats are becoming all the more frustrated that Gov. Inslee's carbon tax failed to become law this session and are beginning to attack one another for the way their plans are turning out for the City Council passing a "head tax" and the reaction people of Seattle are giving them for funding government funded heroin dens.

... because they want power back!

Laura Ingraham gives a good synopsis of what's gone in with the Democrats during the first 18 months of the Trump administration and contrasts it with what they engaged in during the Obama administration.

You'll be saying to yourself, "Yea... Wow, I forgot about all that stuff!"

What Does Ultimate Bureaucracy Look Like?

Watch this great video from Prager U with Nigel Farage of the U.K. explain it. It's more than you can imagine!

And the liberal/socialists want the U.S. to do the same over here with Canada & Mexico!

Speaking Truth to Power

James sets the record straight on what Project Veritas' goal is.

There are few brave souls today like James O'Keefe and his Project Veritas.

I had this 30minute video of Jame being interviewed about his latest book, "American Pravda" on C-SPAN and he is asked by the moderator to explain what the purpose of his organization is about. He also fields and responds to questions from callers; C-SPAN's standard format for its guests. What he explains is a breath of fresh air when it comes to the massively lopsided bias of the mainstream media today.

Any time anyone challenges the establishment which is only interested in maintaining the deception of the public by perpetuating the lies they tell, they're going experience a lot of push back and character assassination.

I urge you to take the time to watch this fascinating segment to gain a more accurate understanding and insight into why he's done what he has, and still is; speaking truth to power which tends to be corrupt.

Future Projections Not That Rosy

For a Baby Boomer like myself, the financial news isn't promising.

As I transition from working my backside off for decades I want to be able to rest assured that I'm going to be able to enjoy my sunset years. 

 

Yes, I've invested. Yes, I have a pension. But certain indicators project a not-so-rosy outlook down the financial road, it makes me highly concerned that not all of what I expect from my "nest egg" may not be there when I need it. Being what Rush Limbaugh calls a citizen of "Realville", I remember all too well how both my wife and I lost one-third of our investments in the 2007/08 recession after the housing market collapsed.

I know - some of you are saying "What rock have you been living under, buddy?" You're probably saying this because of the phenomenal rise in stock market volume and earnings. Yes, I admit this has been great for the economy, but that is only a temporary thing; it never lasts forever! And, yes, Trump's reduction of federal regulations which has handcuffed businesses in the past has played a role in this as well.

But as the saying goes, "What goes up, must come down." Here's why I say that: demographic projections. People are the engine of the economy and we can't ignore this fact.

What am I getting at? Well, here's an example: one financial analyst’s predictions over many decades which argue that he's got something to his thesis. Who is this person? You may have heard of him because of the books he's written on that thesis; Harry Dent. (‘Ive provided this general link to allow my reader to make the decision as to whether, or not, his take on demographics has merit.) Personally, I don't understand why anyone would discount his work because it seems to be grounded on sound factual theory and precedence.

One point I find interesting in this outlook is the real estate market. (I must note here that this factor is applied to the nation as a whole. There are regions where it will not apply.) Right now "Baby Boomers" who own houses are beginning to sell them at a rate that may soon outpace the younger generations who want to buy them. If there are fewer younger people who are buying houses for sale by a larger age group, then naturally the housing market will suffer a depression to some degree. Just how bad that will be is more difficult to predict.

I'm not trying to be the proverbial "Debbie Downer", but given the current pension debt condition of many states today - I'll let the reader do their own research on this topic – I conclude that things are not looking as rosy as our media sources want us to believe. I'm always reminded of something I learned years ago; those in authority don't always want the public to know just how bad things really are, in order to avoid pubic panicking and creating an out of control situation, in hopes that their policies will somehow work them out of that fiscal hole in which they've found themselves.

What's the average Joe to do?

Liberal's Disconnect With Free Speech Rights

With all the attention in the media about public schools across the nation allowing, or even encouraging to have students participate in the protest march on Wed. March 14th - the one month anniversary of the Parkland High School massacre by the confessed killer of 17 of his classmates - free speech apparently doesn't apply to everyone, just liberals and those who agree with their views.

A teacher at a high school held a discussion with her class about this topic and, for the sake of discussion of the topic, she posed the alternative view question; couching it terms of students protesting abortion, since the logic follows that if schools condone one cause, they then should allow protest walkouts for all causes.

The school district put her on paid administrative leave. If I were her, I'd hire a lawyer and take it as far as necessary; even to the Supreme Court. The school districts need to understand that just because some parents are offended by an opposing view, a teacher's free speech rights still exist. After all, conservatives don't go whining to school boards, demanding they be fired, just because of the views their mostly liberal teachers espouse all the time.

 Visit this link and watch the news video of this for further details of how public schools are driven, not by what our Constitution tells us ALL citizens should enjoy the right of, but by only one political view... theirs!

It will certainly be interesting to learn what the outcome of this will be in the end. As a former teacher in public school, I understand all too well the disturbing situation this teacher is in.
