Chicago teachers decide they don’t want to work. I have a solution for that.

IS Joe Biden really this disconnect…or just dense.

And a poll is released that tells us why our kids are so jacked up. Unfortunately, I don’t see this getting better.

 

Here We Go Again

We do have new news this week but I have so much from last week. I do need to talk about this because it’s going to happen throughout the country soon. I would be remiss if I just skipped this.

The Chicago teachers union voted last night to start teaching remotely, through Zoom.

According to NBC Chicago:

The rank-and-file members of the Chicago Teachers Union have voted to temporarily transition to remote learning, a move that prompted Chicago Public Schools officials to cancel classes for Wednesday.

While CTU instructed its members to work remotely Wednesday, CPS has said that it will not accept the switch back to remote learning, and instead canceled all classes, sporting events and extracurricular activities scheduled for Wednesday.

Food service will still be available at schools between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m., and COVID testing and vaccination events will continue as scheduled, according to a CPS press release.

The union stated:

“Tonight, as educators, parents, neighbors and community members we had to make the tough decision to support a resolution to return to remote learning in our city’s public schools. This decision was made with a heavy heart and a singular focus on student and community safety.”

This is after we have the statistics to state that teachers are not in danger of getting COVID from students. As a matter of fact, there has yet to be one teacher that died because a student gave her the China virus.

Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot said the stoppage was illegal. She said:

“The worst thing we can do is to shut the entire system down. What we need to be focused on is working together. What I’d love to see CTU do is not force an illegal work stoppage. What I’d love to see them do is work hand-in-glove with us to get kids and their families vaccinated.”

Few things here:

• The stoppage is illegal. Any union that negotiates with a government, with tax payer money, is not allowed to strike.
• Lori Lightfoot’s message is jacked because she has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the country and she just poured gasoline on the fire.
• She deserves this. She is locking down the city again. What does her messaging say when she locks down the city but the teachers need to teach? She looks like she hates the teachers.

I have some pretty harsh opinions about this whole thing.

First off, stop telling me teachers are f-ing heroes. They’re not. They have a job. A great job. A job that pays them really well to work 6-7 hours a day, 7 1/2 months a year. It does not take much to be a teacher. It’s time to stop treating them like these people fought a war in Iraq. Stop giving them awards.

And it’s not like the teachers are doing a good job. Over 30% of the population can’t read much less do math. I bet none can pass a civics exam. I was listening to a couple of teachers interviewed and I couldn’t even understand what they were saying. If these teachers can’t speak well enough someone like me can understand them, how are they teaching the kids?

Finally, this has nothing to do with the kids. These teachers aren’t thinking about the kids. They don’t care about the kids. The teachers don’t want to get out of their bunny slippers in the morning and go to work. But they do want their pay to continue.

What would I do? I would follow Ronald Reagan’s lead.

Fire them all. Take a month off of school, replace all these teachers with non-union members. Hire them based on qualifications, experience and performance. Kill the union. It’s been done before with the air traffic controllers and it worked. No planes fell from the sky. Lori can give me a call and I’ll teach.

And the kids will learn something.

Is This Guy Really This Dense?

For Christmas, I went to Costco and bought three bottles of cheap wind and one ribeye roast. I spent almost $200. We also bought firewood because we have a firepit and it’s cold. We used to spend $4.99 a bundle. At Walmart, the wood cost $6.49. That’s a 30% increase.

By the way, that $0.02 decrease in gas is gone. One gas station rose prices $0.20 and the gas station we go to went up $0.05.

Joe Biden, ever out of touch, tweeted:

“We’re ending 2021 with what one analyst described as the strongest first-year economic track record of any president in the last 50 years. Let’s keep the progress going.”

What progress, now?

• We have the highest inflation since the 80s.
• We have a supply chain crisis.
• We have 10 million open jobs that no one wants to fill.
• We have a housing shortage.
• We have a gas and oil shortage.
• The stock market is tanking.
• Crime is at record levels throughout the country.
• Drug addiction s at record highs.
• Homelessness is at record highs.
• Suicide is at record highs.
• The country is broken into two factions. The unity he promised is non-existent.
• We have a border crisis with 1.8 million illegal alien encounters in 2021.
• COVID is spiking again with more deaths in 2021 than 2020 (under Biden).
• We had a failed retreat from Afghanistan that led to the deaths of 13 marines.
• Iran likely has a nuclear weapon.
• Russia is threatening Ukraine.
• China is threatening Taiwan.

That is all in 2021. Does that sound like we had a good year?

This guy is completely out of touch.

Needless to say, the reactions on Twitter were hysterical:

• Jon Concha: “Ron Klain appears to have been provided access to the POTUS account…”
• Greg Price: “Which one was the analyst,” posted alongside images of various celebrities, social media influencers, and singing nurses who have recently partnered with the Biden administration.
• Michael Berry: “Joe Biden has jokes.”
• Tim Murtaugh: “‘one analyst’ … Ron Klain doesn’t count.”
• Eddie Zipperer: “No political spin in the world is going to trick people into thinking they have more money in their wallets than they actually have.”
• Rep. Tom Tiffany: “I didn’t realize April Fools’ Day was in December this year.”
• James DePorre: “I did not realize that Kamala Harris was an analyst.”
• Scott Presler: “You walked away from COVID. You never had a plan.”

No Wonder Our Kids Are So F-ed

Want to know why our kids are so f-ed up? Let’s just look at to who’s raising them.

According to the New York Post:

Nearly one in 10 mothers does not know who fathered their child, according to a surprise new poll in the United Kingdom.

Some things about this:

• The poll was run by Topp Morning Casino and it polled 1000 women.
• The result could mean that there are 2.1 million couples where the father isn’t the father.
• Australia has found that it could be up to 30% of births where the biological father is not known.
• This has been a trend since the 1970s.
• Both surveys admit that the percentage is probably a lot lower. There is a high margin of error.
• Though a study like this has not been done in the United States, sociologists believe that the number might be at 4%.

Why do we even need to do studies like this?

We are living in a world where personal responsibility is considered bad and the government is expected to take care of everyone. People have sex, don’t take any responsible actions and get pregnant. I guess it could be worse. They could be aborting the babies.

There are now commitments to people. The nuclear family has been demonized. Men have been demonized. children are see as an inconvenience and barely in the conversation. Marriage is not a thing anymore. Fathers aren’t in the home.

We are living in a world where people are lying to each other and don’t think twice about it.

Here’s the thing, it’s not going to get better. Children are being raised this way. Worse yet, they’re being taught that this is OK. Children born today are going to do the same thing when they grow up (if they can get off their phones long enough to have sex). They are learning that their satisfaction is more important than taking responsibility for their actions. This is very different from how I was raised.

This also is bringing our culture into into a very dark future.

Should We Do This?

France has decided to block certain porn websites from their country because of the lax verification of age these sites are guilty of, allowing children to view their sites.

The Daily Beast reports:

“French authorities have vowed to block five major porn sites this week unless measures are taken immediately to ensure users are over the age of 18,” the report outlined. “France’s Higher Audiovisual Council gave Pornhub, xHamster, XVideos, XNXX, and Tukif a Tuesday deadline for the new restrictions, after which it said it would seek a court order blocking access to the sites, The Times reports.”

These porn sites merely ask users to “mark a box” to confirm that they are adults. “The council said the porn sites are effectively violating the law if they do not create more rigorous checks, such as verification of identity documents proving a user’s age,” the report said.

The council underscored, “Children faced by such content can suffer lasting shock at the very least.”

The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) CEO, Dawn Hawkins, released a statement:

“France is seeking to hold online pornography sites accountable in order to protect minors from accessing hardcore pornographic content that is harmful to them. Despite empty assurances, online pornography sites have failed to keep children away from their content because they have no meaningful age verification systems, and in fact many of these sites employ marketing tactics that bring children to their sites. It is past time for pornography sites to be held to account.”

“A growing body of research supports her statements. Early exposure to pornography affects children’s developing brains and normalizes the sexual violence, exploitation and abuse it so frequently depicts. Today’s hyper-online world exposes youth to such content at younger and younger ages through platforms that may seem safe on the surface—including social media. It’s virtually impossible to avoid; one study found that 93 percent of boys and 62 percent of girls are exposed to pornography in adolescence.”

“Modern online pornography is filled with extreme sexual violence, child sexual abuse, racism, and other disturbing and abusive content. Online pornography platforms are designed to hook even casual viewers to seek even more violent and extreme content. We hear from families regularly that their children as young as 6 years old are accessing hardcore pornography despite their best efforts to protect them. The responsibility cannot lie with parents alone.”

This is all absolutely true.

Our kids have a harder time getting an R-rated movie with cuss words than watching a threesome is weird to me. We know this is bad for people. We know it stunts sexual maturity. We know it shows children things that are unnatural and unrealistic.

Billie Elish, the pop singer, admitted that she had a born addiction while she was a teenager. She said that she did things sexually she thought she was suppose to like because of what she saw on these free porn sites. This stuff does affect kids. There’s no question. And, in the United States, we don’t seem to care. We’re not doing anything about it.

Now, don’t talk to me about free speech. This has nothing to do with free speech. Rated-R films are restricted to kids. What I’m saying is we need to restrict porn in the same way. That’s all. I like porn. I don’t watch it every day or every week or, even every month but there are times Josie and I will Pornflix and chill on a Saturday night when the kids are gone.

I don’t know if Pornflix is a thing but Netflix doesn’t have porn, so there you go.
