Boo! Did I scare you?
Our kids are not scared.
Instead, find careers!

RIP Charlie Daniels!

Keep Going in This Direction, Joe

Sleepy, Creepy Joe has released his economic policy if he ends up as President:

• $700 billion spent on new, clean energy and jobs.
• Free healthcare.
• Free community college.
• Free child care.
• More COVID-19 support for families and small businesses.
• Raising taxes on corporations and individuals. In other words, rolling back the Trump tax cuts.
• Raise the Federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.
• Put a 100 day moratorium on illegal alien deportation.

 

This “Build Back Better” campaign is called the Biden/Sanders economic plan.

This scares the Hell out of me. Joe Biden will not be President. Bernie Sanders will be. AoC will be. His radical black women VP will be. He is a puppet. Bernie Sanders made that very clear in an interview with MSNBC:

I am going to say something that will make this podcast not good for kids: Trump can win this election with this crazy shit. He needs to stop lowering his poll numbers by stop fucking Tweeting.

When Nancy Speaks…

…three things fly out of her mouth: Dentures, spittle and crap.

Let’s listen:

She doesn’t care about statues. Wow. Forget about our history. That’s one of our leaders.

Here’s what is ironic: a group of people to black out the Black Lives Matter giraffe on the streets in California and were charged with three misdemeanor counts including a hate crime charge. These people are looking at jail time. They were interviewed on Fox News and they just said they do not agree with BLM and did not want it posted in front of their residence.

This is the bravest thing I have ever seen. These two people walk into the middle of the street and start blacking out the grafitti. They were lucky enough only to get confronted by people who were curious about what they were doing, not by some radical with a baseball bat or screw driver. They had to know what they were doing is dangerous, but they didn’t care. They are tired of the state sponsored BS and decided to fight it.

 

Sounds Like a Career to Me

The Wall Street Journal released an article about teenagers in New York who are able to intern scrubbing tombstones and repairing mausoleums at a Bronx graveyard. Sounds awesome, huh? Actually, it is a lot better than all that. And those that volunteered for the internship are finding that out.

Let me clarify the article a bit so that it does not sound so morbid. Cemeteries are made up of tomb stones and mausoleums. Over time, these become dirty or broken. They need to be fixed. And who fixes them? Masons. Suddenly, that does not sound so bad. These teens work six hours a day on weekdays for ten weeks. They learn how to set up scaffolding, applying mortar, power washing and understanding mausoleum documentation. The interns make $15 an hour. Not bad for an intern.

But what the teens really learn is a skill. Masonry is a centuries old profession and can be applied to many more projects than mausoleum repair (though that can bring in $30-40 an hour). Construction, art repair and home repair all require someone who might require the specialty of a mason. And if a mason has a license and belongs in a union, a well-paying career can be had.

Why did this article come up in this podcast?

Josie has three children. She wants all her children to go to college even though none of them really have an affinity for school and really do not have any plans for the future. I told her that she may want to think of her kids skipping school and learning a skill from a trade school. Trade schools are less expensive, relatively short in time and concentrate on a specific skill. And a skill that is desired and usually pays well.

I use me as an example. I went to college and got my degree in Literature. But, once I received my Bachelor’s Degree, I could not do much with it. I needed, at least, a Master’s Degree even to teach. I started teaching computer applications and soon was promoted to teaching computer networking. Twenty-five years later, I have a career, get paid well and my skills are desired by a lot of companies.

Yes, I still write and read constantly and my degree has helped my career but I could have saved four years of time if I had just concentrated on learning a skill (not to mention a lot of money on tuition). And institutions of higher learning (heck, high school is pretty crappy too) are becoming more worthless than anything. Our kids are not learning anything necessary like we did in the past, are not being hardened to be able to handle the job market successfully and are being indoctrinated into the Leftist view of the world.

Let us talk about our failing institution of education.

The Indoctrination Machine

The educational system is falling apart. From grammar school through Harvard University. Let us take a look at some of the things I am talking about.

 

Mathematics

I amaze children at restaurants. Not because I can make a quarter disappear with a paper napkin (I can do that). But because I can calculate a 15% tip in my head. I actually had a kid challenge me with a calculator. We bet $5. I had the answer before she even pulled her phone out of her pocket (I never saw that $5). My point? Mathematics and science are completely ignored, even discouraged, in our country.

Math is not even a thing anymore. In fact, there is this push to make math into something racist. This is so stupid, I will not even go into that garbage. I have not even read the stories. I just do not care. Kind of makes sense. If a man can be a real woman why can’t 1+1=6? Forget the fact that a theoretical mathematician who specialized in chaos theory tried to come up with a math system that proved 1+1=6 and he went insane.

Forget that, let us just say kids can not do math. They do not get it and do not see why it is important. They can not add, subtract, multiply or divide. Decimals and fractions are a mystery. Fuck algebra, calculus, physics and trig. That ain’t happening.

Math is the base language for life. It is used in every other discipline including music, art, language, astronomy, science, statistics and logic. Hell, my Haiku in the beginning of this podcast was used to calculate the number of syllables to make it a haiku. Dr. Zuess, who is a racist, defined his poetry off of mathematics. Beethoven, Mozart and even your favorite rapper (which is not music) use mathematics to come up with the perfect word, beat or note.

Maybe that is why our music has gone down hill in the last twenty years.

 

Science

Men can be women. Natural gas, nuclear energy and fracking are dangerous. Nothing but man is causing global warming. The world will end in ten years. A fetus is not a human being. We need to take a train to Hawaii. All these stupid “scientific” declarations by the Left are based on “science”. And the normal people laugh at this crap because we are “ignoring” science.

Maybe we are not ignoring science. Maybe this is all just bullshit.

Here’s the problem: our kids are learning this crap.

I know a kid, who shall remain nameless, who can not do simple math or knows what an atom is telling me that Greta Thunberg knows more about climate change than I do. What? When I asked her when the last ice age was, she did not know (we are in an ice age now). When I asked her what the wobbling of the earth is (that is when the poles of the earth switch), she did not know. When I told her that two economists that won the Nobel Prize in economics said that we would not face a crisis for another 100 years and then it would only cost 4% of GDP to fix and if she read their paper. She did not.

OK, I did not ask her the last question. But I did tell her I did not take my scientific advice from a 14-year-old with autism and a compulsion disorder. This is what our kids are being taught and who they are getting their information from.

By the way, I do believe in man-made climate change. But I think the United States is far from the main culprit. Heck, the statistics say that.

Our kids are not learning science. They are learning talking points that masquerade as science.

 

History and Civics

Let’s see:

• Our youth is tearing down statues of historical figures.
• They are tearing down statues of Abraham Lincoln and  Ulysses S Grant because they are racists.
• They tore down a statue of Fredrick Douglass and Junipero Serra, not sure why. Pretty sure they do not know why.
• George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Theodore Roosevelt and Francis Scott Key are all racists.

 

Our kids do not know shit about history. Do not believe me? Ask the who Plato is, Aristotle, St. Thomas Aquinas, Thomas Moore, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison or Theodore Roosevelt is. They will not know.

Ask them a couple questions about the United States.

• What are the three branches of government?
• Who is the Vice President?
• What are the first 10 amendments of the Constitution called?
• What are the first three words of the Constitution?
• Name one right in the 1st Amendment of the Constitution?
• Who wrote the Declaration of Independence?
• What economic system does the United States use?
• Who is in the Executive Branch?
• What month do we vote for President?
• What is the highest court in the land?

 

Then ask your kid this:

• What is the LGBTQ?
• What is Global Warming?
• Who is Greta Thunberg?
• What is a union?
• What happened in 1619?

 

Our kids are only learning the history the Left wants them to learn.

 

Literature and English

Are you kidding? Look at the books that are banned. Look at how your kids write. Look at how your kids speak.

I could spend a day talking about this. Our kids do not know how to speak English anymore.
