With Woke Curriculum in Public Schools comes Student Mental Conflict and Discordancy

Ponder the following commentary as presented: No sexual agenda, heterosexual, homosexual, GBTQ.I.A.+- or other Woke babble, should be promoted to youth under the age of 18, especially under an entity funded with taxpayer dollars. Our children need to be protected from this radical woke agenda, dare I say, indoctrination, that has besieged our country. One has to be void of a semblance of intellect to realize adolescence can be a complicated, confusing, and convoluted time. Explaining bodily changes and the proper purpose of sexuality is a task not for teachers, school board members, union officials, even presidents but for parents. Masculinity and femininity are part of God’s plan for humanity. A deep conviction must be established that the body is for God Almighty. Developing moral relationships in the midst of the modern social scene is challenging. Public school libraries and classrooms, school boards, teacher unions and DC politicos are serving up immoral toxins precisely at that naïve, capricious, and unpredictable age when it is more likely to penetrate the mind and more rapidly spreads its pernicious and toxic consequence. For parents and grandparents alike, especially those of faith, the fight to protect children from predatory and/or perverse texts in public school libraries and classrooms must continue. Parents must be alert that their children or grandchildren receive religious instruction as soon as they are capable of understanding it; and that nothing may, in the schools they attend, diminish, or mar their faith or their morals. Clearly today’s parents must be careful that public school libraries and classrooms, school boards, teacher unions, left-leaning politicians, social deviant activists, aberrant neophytes... do not blemish the faith or morals of school age children by way of woke and CRT diatribe. In short, the case against infusing "Woke" curriculum into secondary public education is indefensible. It is smoke and mirrors. It is rooted in aberrant behavior and total disregard for America's future. It is fueled by a stunning ignorance of a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning, sound educational principles, which is part and parcel of a broader rejection of reason itself.

Consummate Hate Hustlers.

Enjoy the following tongue and cheek response to another historical fubar by two mutton heads. Ben and Jerry, the ice cream duo has been busy using the proceeds from ice cream sales to promote far-left causes, now having become consummate hate hustlers. Last week, their B&J brand celebrated Independence Day by promoting this historically nescient tripe across social media: “This 4th of July, it’s high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it.” For the record, most ‘indigenous land’ was stolen by indigenous people from other indigenous people.” The B&J post linked to a corporate page proclaiming their first turnover project is returning Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills to the Lakota tribe. The problem is, once this transfer takes place, will the Lakota turn around and give the Black Hills back to the tribes they took them from? It’s never a good idea to get history lessons from an ice cream maker with a hippy vibe that sold out to a multinational conglomerate. Perhaps in honor of the reparations that Ben & Jerry’s will not be paying, they can launch a new flavor, “Eat Crow” – though they’ve yet to launch a new suggested flavor, "Biden Brain Freeze." Notably. the most famous of indigenous people descendants, Elizabeth “Honest Injun” Warren, has not commented on the latest B&J controversy.

June Bad for Biden, Good for America

Pride Month did not go well for the administration, nor the extreme left. It began in the shadows of anti-woke boycotts. It was criticized for parades where LGBTQI++ ... social deviants said they are coming for our children and grandchildren. And it has now ended with a Supreme Court decision that says you can’t be forced to support the movement. The justices were split along partisan lines, which in itself tells you much about the Democrat judges on the Supreme Court. The court also determined that a Christian web designer in Colorado cannot be forced to work on a same-sex wedding project. And it even goes beyond that. The decision applies more broadly, giving people the right to refuse to endorse a message they disagree with in their creative work. What you choose to endorse, or not to endorse, is protected under the First Amendment of the Constitution. Again, we have the same partisan split. The opportunity to think for ourselves and to express those thoughts freely is among our most cherished liberties and part of what keeps our Republic strong. Imagine telling Taylor Swift that she has to warble or pipe-up whatever lyrics the government directs her to sing because no one writes songs quite like she does. Lastly, though not directly related to pride month festivities, the Supreme Court ruled the Biden administration’s expensive and wasteful student loan forgiveness exceeded its authority by sidestepping Congress to enact a $430B plan to cancel up to $20,000 in federal student loan debts. Thus, preventing thousands of Americans taxpayers like you and me from being forced to foot the tax bill for this unlawful giveaway. Again, same old song from same partisan liberal judges. 

Decline By Design

 

Joe Biden may go down in history as the worst “president” of the United States… but what about Barack Obama? Some people assert Obama laid the groundwork for everything that has transpired since 2020 back in 2008. If memory serves me right, Obama led to the destruction of many our cities by coddling up to BLM miscreants and siding with criminals over law enforcement doing their duties... he constrained our military and made light of America on the world stage. Some suggest, though debatable, Obama was the real architect behind the fake Russian collusion. Regardless as to validity of what we as a people may think, the devastation and destruction we’re seeing in 2023 has been over a decade in the making and most Americans have no clue what we’re up against. I ask you the reader, do you as a fellow American think the nightmare, we’ve been living for the past several years came from nowhere? Do you, the reader sense that the current administration is made up of inept simpletons or fools and that our significantly declining standard of living is the result of President Biden’s cognitive state? Lastly, it has been said that “the truth will set you free.” But not until it is finished with you. Regardless of who, what, where, when, and how, the truth could be much darker. Could this decline be by design? What say you.

At This Moment in Time

Granted, the recently enacted Debt Ceiling Act has thwarted a probable catastrophe that would have caused widespread human, material, economic, environmental issues which exceeds the ability of the U.S. and its citizenry to deal with using its own resources. At this moment in time our government no longer risks not having enough money to meet its debt and operating expenses. The debt ceiling debate and subsequent compromise has temporarily thwarted a probable disaster that would have caused widespread human, material, economic, environmental loss... which exceeds the ability of the United States and its citizenry to cope using its own resources. For this moment in time, our government no longer risks not having enough money to meet debt and operating expenses. At this moment in time, no longer will an imminent fault undermine the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency and what remains of the world’s order. At this moment in time, we will no longer have to listen to the political left and its cohort’s diatribe that insists the only solution to the debt is to hand a blank check to the government and continue spending at will. My mind’s eyes see such reasoning as irrational and ruinous. What needs to change is not so much the budgetary process but the mindset that incumbers America with this mountain of debt. Beyond the quibbling, the most important part of the bill and thus the agreed upon compromise is the message that the present COA as it pertains to economic self-destruction has to change. At this moment in time, current government spending levels are destroying our Republic.

I am of the opinion that too many elected officials seem to think money grows on trees and their ability to think beyond the next election cycle is cause for concern. Why can they not think of the nation’s common good and plan long-term? Far from ideal, the current led GOP spending compromise takes initial steps in the right direction. However, the liberal position regarding debt is full of wrong premises. Putting it more explicitly, the progressive left has a propensity for extremes. Democrats argue that with low-interest rates, it makes sense to invest in the future. “Free” money allows the government to spend at sustainable levels and even save money by spending now rather when rates eventually go up. Really! At this moment in time, are not interest rates rising? This argument no longer holds water since interest rates are on the rise. It becomes even more dangerous and expensive to borrow. By way of illustration, the “cost of servicing the national debt now stands at $460 billion, well over half of the $842 billion defense budget for 2023.” With or without interest, the principal still must be repaid. Money is never free. Furthermore, with the stroke of a pen, Biden has increased the debt by up to “2-4 trillion dollars through stimulus bills and spending packages.” Even at low-interest rates, irresponsible spending drives massive amounts of cash into the system, causing inflation and the chaotic excessiveness of unbalanced markets. It is apparent that the current administration and congressional Democrats believes each country controls the minting of its own currency, thereby any crisis can be avoided by issuing new money to take care of all debts. Thus, at this moment in time many liberals believe that a nation’s spending ability is limitless. It will have no consequences, nor should anyone even worry about debt.

To the liberals I ask, what is the true purpose of government? At this point in time, the purpose of government is to be an advocate of a nation’s common good not a provider for the well-being of its citizens or its ever-growing population of undocumented immigrants. Those on the left seem to think they should spend whatever is needed to provide for all necessities and entitlements. They believe the government can borrow and spend at will. However, a nation cannot always borrow its way out of a crisis. There will come a time of reckoning when people will question its value, causing a crash. The landing will not be a soft one.

This is not a discussion about money or lack thereof. At this moment in time, the real issue is the liberal mindset, characterized by a refusal to operate within fiscal constraints. This rejection of restraint by the left in unimportant things has metastasized to crisis levels in our economy. The obsession with total unrestraint has the effect of turning the debate into something irrational. The enraged and radical left becomes willing to jeopardize the nation and the world economy to maintain its fantasy of unlimited free money.

The route taken between conservatives and liberals to raise the debt ceiling is of importance, if, with proviso. The economy cannot be instantly repaired by turning off the money spigot and jumping off the fiscal cliff. At the same time, a default’s impact will wreak havoc upon the world and favor America’s antagonists. As painful as it is to admit it, a deal is the lesser evil when negotiating with those whose actions will sink the ship that set sail without provisions, navigation equipment, lifeboats... The more important question is what will be done with the deal. Will it once more be used to kick the can down the road? Can it be used to inform a real debate?

At this moment in time, instead of playing cyclic games of fiscal chicken, America needs to question existential premises held by progressives, socialists, and conservatives alike about the nature of government, life, and liberty. Too many believe that life must be spent as if on a never-ending cruise underwritten by the courtesy of the federal government. At some point, the party must end. At this moment in time, America must reject the socialist mindset in which the government tries to be all things to all people through its handouts… and domination. At this moment in time, the nation must likewise reject the notion that restraint is always bad, and sacrifice must be avoided. This inquiry beyond an entitled self could provoke a reevaluation of what matters most in life. It could give rise to new devotion, fidelity and faithfulness to family, community, and the Church, giving life meaning and purpose. Moreover, what is missing is the “permanent things,” which are those standards of "courage, duty, honor, justice, and charity" that owe their existence and authority not to big governments, but to God Himself. Until then, the nation will continue staring into the fiscal abyss.

Memorial Day Message: Is America Still Worth Fighting For

As another Memorial Day dawns, I’m thinking about the men and women that laid down their lives for their country… I am thinking about the soldiers I served with, some of which I commanded during my 30 years of service in the Army. I think about the depth of their sacrifice and the cause for which they forfeited their future by giving their last full measure.  By giving the full measure of their devotion, they paid the ultimate price to serve our nation. Lest we forget, each person we remember died for a cause.

President Lincoln memorialized those who died in the cause of “government of the people, by the people, for the people.” Their sacrifice reminds us that “freedom is not free”, that the price of our freedom has been paid in the blood of our Uniformed Military Service personnel and the grief of those who loved them.

Now it is our turn to “highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain.” It falls to us to do all we can so that “this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom” and that our democracy “shall not perish from the earth.” Such resolve takes many forms: military, economic, political, and cultural among them. But most of all, it requires a spiritual commitment mirroring the commitment we remember today. Those who we remember this Memorial Day, recognized the United States of America as a Republic worth dying for.

If the extreme or revolutionary Left has its way, the America they fought and died for will cease to exist. Why? Because the Left doesn’t appreciate what made America a nation built on a hill that could not be hidden. Moreover, the moral authority of America, the "beacon on the hill" that President Ronald Reagan spoke of, was an essential part of that interest.

Today, we are leaderless and voiceless from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, at home and abroad, even as the voices of our citizens are loud and strong. ... Voices from around the globe, question whether the United States still possess any moral authority. And as the Left has taken over the center, our fellow citizens have been told that America is evil, and racist, and unjust. Sadly, because of education indoctrination, and “Woke” ideology and, CRT” historical revisionism the adolescent generations believe it. Consequently, they’ve put their faith in authoritarian left leaning ideologues, with no clue how good they’ve had it or how bad things can get. 

The bad news is that we could lose everything our military service members were willing to die for. But the good news is that there is still light at the end of the axiomatic tunnel, if the majority of Americans are still willing to fight for it. I ask you the reader, are you still one of them? Think about this, If the Left’s ideas were popular, they wouldn’t have to censor us via social media and MSM, they wouldn’t have to meddle or intrude in our elections, and they would assuredly not need Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) to boost, thereby embolden their client companies, corporations, businesses...

Regardless, whether the numbers are currently on their side or our side, is America still worth fighting for? Granted, Left Wing radicals are tactically and organizationally years ahead of patriotic Americans only beginning to realize they are in a war. Can we still win the war? If so, how? The first step is understanding the adversary. We can’t save the America our men and women died for until we understand who and what we’re up against. As we reflect on the Uniformed Armed Service members that made the ultimate sacrifice, we must ask ourselves what forfeitures we are willing to make so their last breaths were not for naught.

 

Truth Be Known

Remember when Bud Light recently forced the woke agenda on their customers, conservatives and political moderates alike didn’t take it lightly. What happened? They coalesced, drew a line in the sand, dug their heels in, and made their voices heard. How so? They boycotted Bud Light, and the company is hemorrhaging money hand over fist, scrambling to correct their gaffe, better stated their error in judgement.

But if the Left’s Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) agenda succeeds, it won’t matter. It won’t matter what consumers believe or what brands do, because they’ll use ESG to prop up woke companies no matter what and destroy the businesses that resist their agenda. Think about it. It won’t matter how often these business enterprises offend us, upset us, disparage us... or make our blood boil. Our boycotts and protests will fall on deaf ears, because these companies will never face the resultant consequences of their actions. If you were previously unfamiliar or ill-informed of ESG, that’s no mistake or error on your part. While we’re distracted with our Southern border crisis, Ukraine-Russia conflict, oval office mandates, CCP- U.S. relations... left wing revisionists or radicals are cautiously coordinating with the private sector to advance a policy that would destroy what remains of the free market. ESG eliminates the illusion of choice. They’re social credit scores, but for businesses, and if they succeed in bringing that kind of collectivism or Marxism to the private sector, it’s only a matter of time before they bring it to our individual lives. Specifically, penalizing us when we contest the system, and rewarding us when we conform or submit to it. 

And what happened yesterday, today, and likely tomorrow (metaphorically speaking) to us is happening all over our nation and all over the world, as globalists do everything in their power to contrive or manufacture by whatever means is necessary support for their architypes, ideals, exemplars... simply stated, it’s their way or the highway.
