LOVE YOUR KIDS
Several years ago my father, my brother and I were camped along a small stream in the middle of Utah, near to the town of Moab. Not far from us another family was camped. The family was a mother, a father and a pre-teen boy.
One evening about dusk the boy must have done something dreadful and all of a sudden the mother broke out in a tirade of swearing the likes of which I had never heard from a woman before (and have not heard since). I wondered at the time how this boy was going to grow up having a healthy respect for his parents when they treated him so badly.
Most people truly love their kids. Mothers, especially, like a panther “you touch my cub and I will claw your eyes out”. Most are very protective of their children.
And yet, for some reason I am unable to explain, parents continue to place their children in circumstances that are tailor made to turn them against what is good and wholesome.
There are many public-school teachers who love America and American traditions and who fight for the good that is in America. However, most colleges, and especially most teacher’s colleges are staffed by professors who are often Marxist in viewpoint. It was even that way when I attended college many years ago.
Because of that, many teachers graduate with a Marxist, socialist idea that the government is the answer to every problem, and they pass that viewpoint along to the children they teach. They may not even be aware they are doing so.
Parents who truly love their kids leave them in these government schools year after year and then are puzzled when at graduation those wonderful kids turn against them. It is the tragedy of our present age, and is pretty general throughout the country. This philosophy is aided by the Marxist teacher’s unions and the textbook publishers.
Some parents have seen the problem, but appear helpless to do anything about it. They know they ought to remove their kids from these schools but are helpless to do so. It is simple: In order to make ends meet both mother and father have to work just to balance the home budget. Neither of them can quit to home-teach their own children.
The question, then, comes down to this: What is more important to you? Is it your job, your fancy home, your new furniture, and wonderful car, or is it your children? Parents who understand the nature of the present battle, and who truly love their kids have moved into an older home, drive an older car, own used furniture and spend their days loving and teaching their kids. It is interesting how all their important arguments fade away after just a few months of teaching their own children. They are amazed at how much quieter and kinder their kids are and how rewarding it is to teach them.
For years I have followed the writings of others, and especially articles about the attacks on our children. I have seen very little about how children are groomed, and then molested. This can cause harm that will affect them for a life time.
When I was 19, I dated a girl who was a very wonderful girl. We went to a movie, and in the process of time I learned that she was only 15. I was terrified. I said something to her father about it. I am sure they had confidence in me, but I felt that confidence was misplaced, as anyone can be tempted.
The data indicates that children are rarely molested by strangers. Often it is a parent, a brother or sister, aunt or uncle, or someone close to the family. I have known of men in a church who groomed children; the parents had confidence in the man and let their children spend time with him.
The only way to really protect your children is to insure they are never alone with another person. No one is beyond the possibility of being tempted to molest a child. Children who are a little rebellious are the most likely to fall and sometimes parents will let their kids spend time with an older person who they think can become a friend of the child and help him. That can happen, but it is not always the case. It is impossible to know what will happen as child molesters come in all kinds of packages.
This is why the Boy Scouts has gotten into so much trouble. Boys are paired with other boys in the buddy system and they sleep together in a tent. If one of them happens to be a predator you can easily see what can happen.
Frankly there is no way to know what could happen. Having your children involved with others can pay real benefits. However, activities must be chosen carefully. Church groups with a trustworthy adult and the children sleeping in larger groups helps preserve the integrity.
Ultimately parents must pay careful attention to what is happening with their children to protect them from evil. Thus, it is important to keep the channels of communication open with your children so they can always feel free to express their hopes and even their problems. Children with problems are easily groomed for trouble.
Be watchful, teach your children the Bible, as well as how predators work. Young girls, especially, need to know how easily a man is stirred up. Boys also.
This problem is especially important when considering transgender issues. One book just out by a woman psychiatrist makes this claim:
My wish is for your child to reject the falsehoods from the get-go. If he or she is already on a “gender journey,” the goal is therapy that will facilitate him or her to love themselves as they are, without harming their bodies. I want to preserve your child’s health, sexual pleasure, and fertility. No child is born in the wrong body, their bodies are just fine; it’s their emotional life that needs attention and healing. In this book you’ll find the ammunition to protect your children while raising them in Trans Nation: information, parenting strategies, and hope. (P. xxxi)
You really need to read the whole book. There are many startling things revealed about how puberty blockers and other trans solutions are destroying the health and futures of these young people. You can obtain a copy of the book Trans Nation: A Child Psychiatrist’s Guide Out of the Madness here.
Today children who appear trans inclined are given puberty blockers, which halts their physical development at that point. Young boys will grow into adults with childhood organs. Same with girls.
Sex is determined at conception and we ought not overlook that fact.
Our children are precious. Unfortunately, many counsellors, including school counsellors, want parents to understand their only choices are a trans child or a dead child. The best choice, however, is gently showing the child how God has given him a wonderful body and he just needs to learn to accept that.

And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. (John 6:40)
“Say…whether peace is best preserved by giving energy to the government, or information to the people. This last is the most certain and the most legitimate engine of government. Educate and inform the whole mass of the people. Enable them to see that it is their interest to preserve peace and order, and they will preserve them. And it requires no very high degree of education to convince them of this. They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.” (Thomas Jefferson: National Center For Constitutional Studies)

All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. (John 6:37)
“I know of no safe depositor of the ultimate powers of society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion [freedom of choice], the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power”. (Thomas Jefferson: National Center for Constitutional Studies)

Without them we will live in cold dark homes. Solar and Wind will never be viable solutions because the sun does not shine at night, and there are times when the wind does not blow.

What the headline should have said is: Inflation Causing High Gas Prices. Any Economics 1A Student knows that only the government can inflate the currency, and printing more dollars causes prices to rise. It is a basic law of economics. Of course the Associated Press is in the pocket of the Democrats, and they do not want you to believe that the government is causing inflation, thus the reversed headline.
- Please do not support any budget that does not stop the border invasion. Do not allow any spending to aid illegal aliens.

(A Letter for Congress Ed.)

- Comments on Biden Green Policies and Auto Union Strike
Well, as a curmudgeon in good standing, I opine that anything that derails Biden’s Green Energy Program must be a great benefit. I suspect that the Big Three automakers are too savvy to have put all their eggs in the EV basket, and if not, then an expensive lesson will be forthcoming, Biden’s Big Green notwithstanding.
FWIW, our friends with EVs are not all enthusiasts, and those who have used rental car versions even less so.
A four day work week is in the future, really?? Are we gonna go down the French rabbithole and all become employees of the Feds as well??
Hugh
NOT “Old News.”
This is front and center news. Will the Big Three US automakers capitulate on a huge wage increase and then lose big time to the Chinese on EV production? They have much lower labor costs than we do and could wipe out American automakers. And what happens if consumers reject short range electric vehicles? With all the investment from US automakers in a switch to EVs, what will they do if consumers reject their under-performing EVs? I see disaster on the horizon.

Ancient Climate Changes and Extinct Megafaunas
Mammoths were not the only megafauna that went extinct at the end of the Great Ice Age (Pleistocene). Hundreds of large mammal species disappeared, including mastodons, woolly mammoths, woolly rhinoceros, Irish elk (giant deer), cave bears, cave lions, dire wolves (25% bigger than the gray wolf), saber-tooth tigers, giant short-faced bears, camels (12 feet at the shoulders), giant sloths (weighed up to 5 tons and were 12 feet standing), giant beavers (9-feet long), Teratorn birds (wingspan to 28 feet)…
The Imperial mammoths reached 14 feet at the shoulders! Carthaginian General Hannibal (Punic Wars, 218 B.C.) would have really frightened the Romans, if he had had these largest of “elephants!”
Perhaps 5-million mammoths were buried in Siberia and Alaska in wind-blown, silt-sized sediments called loess. Loess is a fascinating geological phenomenon. These were gigantic dust storms trapping and completely entombing animals and plants. Perhaps 10 percent of the Earth’s surface deposits are loess. These aeolian deposits are important terrestrial records of ancient climate change.
These paleowind deposits—now “frozen muck”–became ice-rich permafrost (soils below 320F for at least 2 years). As temperatures dropped the permafrost layer would move upwards after the loess was deposited and freeze the animal remains. Some of these dust deposits are hundreds of feet thick, and dwarf America’s Dust Bowl deposits of the 1930s (Oard, 2000).
Permafrost contains large amounts of dead biomass and releases carbon dioxide and methane now.
Mammoths are found with dirty lungs filled with silt/dust. “Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven, when the dust hardens in clumps, and the clods cling together?” (Job 38: 37-38, 2,000 B.C.).
Seven percent of China is a loess plateau up to 350 feet in thickness. For thousands of years some Chinese have carved their homes in these deposits. The Palouse of Idaho and Washington is loess and is a major agricultural area. Extensive deposits are found in the Great Plains of North America.
At White Sands National Park, New Mexico there are fossilized footprints of humans alongside Columbian mammoth and giant sloth tracks on the Ice-Age lake deposits! There are also dire wolf and American Lion tracks.
Since 1901 at Rancho La Brea, California about 4-million fossils, including one human, have been excavated out of the asphaltic (“tar”) sediments. There are over 100 fossil pits. Fossils include extinct Ice-Age megafaunas—mammoth, mastodon, 4,000 plus dire wolves and 2,000 saber-toothed tigers. There are also contemporary animals such as coyotes, mountain lions, black bears, raccoons, and over 158 species of plants.
Wrangel Island, in the Arctic Ocean, Russia may have had mammoths as recently as a few thousand years ago. Arctic fox, polar bears and lemmings (small rodents) now roam the island.
Mammoth bones are dredged up from the North Sea by trawler fishing nets. Once there was an ancient land bridge between Great Britain and Europe; just as there once was the Bering land bridge between Asia and North America. At that time the oceans were about 300-400 feet lower than today, because continental Ice-Age glaciers stored up large amounts of water.
Canadian Native Americans have legends of mammoths or mastodons living as recently as 200-years ago in remote areas of Canada. They say, “the huge animal had a nose that acted like a hand!”
Authors like Albert Einstein’s friend Immanuel Velikovsky argue that the Earth had a catastrophic pole shift (“Earth in Upheaval,” 1955) and astronomical disruptions with asteroid impacts (“Worlds in Collision,” 1950). Charles Darwin’s friend lawyer Sir Charles Lyell argued that Earth’s processes are slow, steady, and constant (Uniformitarianism, “Principles of Geology,” 1830).
A Uniformitarian model (versus a Catastrophism model) has serious flaws. For example, two beautifully preserved extinct cave lion cub siblings, found together in Siberia, have radiocarbon ages differing by over 15,000 years! Paleoclimatologist Dr. Larry Vardiman and other scientists address Carbon-14 problems in “Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth” (2 Volumes, 2000 and 2005).
Humans did hunt these now extinct megafaunas–Spear points are found in some remains—but ancient climate change, with more seasonal extremes, is a much greater factor at the end of the Ice-Age.
“From whose womb comes the ice? And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth? The waters harden like stone, and the surface of the deep is frozen.” (Job 38:29-30, 2,000 B.C.).

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is. When the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. (John 5:25)
“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labour to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them… Let it simply be asked, where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of moral and religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice3?” (George Washinton, Farewell Address: National Center for Constitutional Studies)

Biden administration cancels remaining oil and gas leases in Alaska’s Arctic Refuge | AP News Whenever talking about oil leases in Alaska they always show pictures of the most beautiful part of the Refuge. Oil is found on the north slope, which is basically a mud flat. Drilling does not affect any of the indigenous animals, in fact they often congregate around oil pipelines because it is warmer there. These press releases are totally dishonest, and designed to keep us poorer as a nation. There will be no other result. This is truly the difference between a Biden Administration and what was a Trump Administration.
