Common Sense Topic: Parents

Primaries next week: New York and Pennsylvania
Primaries over the weekend:
            Dem                            Rep
Wy. Sanders   
Co  Sanders                             Cruz *Without citizens voting.
Saturday Colorado had their Democratic primary and Sanders won. However, the Republican primary was held without the citizens voting at all. The citizens are not happy. Is understood.
I watch parents all the time working in a Deli. I often wonder why they couldn’t just bring their pit bull to the store instead of the kids. Their kids are often unruly and just wild. These same parents will get the call from their kid’s school and find out their kid is in trouble for bullying. They do not look at themselves. They are just disciplining their kids. The problem is that they are hitting their kids and bullying their kids into behaving the way they want them to. But of course, their parenting cannot possible be the reason their kid just hit another student.
Kids often mirror what they see at home. This scares the shit out of me. For this simple reason that if kids see their parents on welfare and doing nothing with their lives. Guess what? The kids will repeat this pattern. This is why we have multiple generations of people on welfare.
Here are some thoughts of parenting I would like to share:
First, only morons hit their kids. I am not against spanking as a last resort. Absolute last. However, slapping a kid on the back of their head is unnecessary. Telling them to shut up and being disrespectful only brings the same pattern later on in their teens. Maybe the kids who hit their parents was hit by their parents when they were small kids. They taught their kids to be bullies and then act surprised when their kids behave like bullies.
Second, every child is potential for greatness. I do not care about the color of their skin. A child is potential for greatness. They just someone in their life to believe in them and tell them everyday. Kids should be nurtured at home, not bullied.
Third and final, set expectations. I have always set expectations for my daughter that are reasonable. Like all parents, I had high hopes for Antonia, Ivy League schools like Yale or Oxford. Then I came down to earth and realized that may not be her path. Just the way it is. Some kids are bound to Ivy League schools and some are not.
  
Consequences should always be fair. They always be adequate with the age of the child. I have found limiting her internet use and television watching to what I approve and/or I want to watch. A weekend of this, she is about begging for forgiveness. The consequence is fair, effective, and I get my point across.
Until later Anarchy and Revolution.

UN Legitimate and Two Illegitimate Speakers

This was a freakshow of a week…. I actually did a whole layout here and accidentally deleted it. OMG. I realize this week was crazy, but holy shit! This is what it did. So here’s a quick recap before I have a completely psychotic break.  Trump entered the UN building with the same level of disaster he entered the world with. The safety feature that will prevent someone carrying a ‘nasty surprise’ from entering the top level of the escalator. That still leaves the elevators. The teleprompter stopped working. That was it, there’s a conspiracy. He did what any brain-dead American would do: whine and bitch. His almost hour-long tirade ended by telling other nations they will go to hell. I guess there will be a family reunion.  Netanyahu went to speak, and it’s a good thing that there were influencers paid to be there; otherwise, why on earth would anybody subject themselves to Netanyahu’s incoherent nonsense after Trump is beyond me. Netenhahu finished last week by threatening Chi...

Who is Ahmed al-Sharaa?

  Ahmed was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Wait! What was that???? Born in Saudi Arabia…. How the hell did he get to be president of Syria? A country that he isn’t even a citizen of? That is as insane as Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announcing he is going to be the president of America. Actually, I would welcome that. Since he is obviously smarter than any American Political puppet. At least we would be able to have our Christian values protected. There wouldn’t be an abortion clinic on every city block. And the sexualization of children would come to a dead stop. Veterans would be better cared for under Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. However, that will never happen, but I think you get how insane that is. I found that you have to be a natural-born citizen of Syria to be president of Syria.  Ahmed al-Sharaa was a member of Al Qaeda. You remember the pack of terrorists who attacked us on 9/11/. My question is, why is Al-Qaeda allowed to exist if they were involved in 9/11? ...

Feeling Ignored

  I didn't mean to ignore this site. I have been busy with the government shutdown, and I have to say, what a freak show. Let's break this down: 1. There is a budget. Once it's clear that we won't tolerate the freak show any longer, the budget will be put in front of us. Of course, it won't have an accurate date. The date it was actually signed.  2. What are we currently focused on? The shutdown. We are looking at the fact that Israel is attacking Iran, again, for having the very same thing they have: nuclear weapons. We also have nuclear weapons in America. We also have a nasty habit of using weapons of mass destruction. Dioxin was used in Vietnam; it was later called Agent Orange.  3. We are no longer demanding the release of the Epstein and Maxwell files. Of course, by the end of October, I am sure this will be in the headline again because one of the other party will bring it up.  4. Prices. The lamestream media isn't talking about the real prices. I went ye...
