After addressing some current events in this piece, I want to close it out with some good music that carries messages for our children. Perhaps the words in the featured songs might in some way help to prepare our kids for the craziness that is illustrated by the preceding articles. If ever our youth needed to be clear-headed, it is today.
If we are going to
mention youth, what better place to begin than education. The ideological battle continues between
those liberal forces that want to program the next generation to become
soldiers for their woke causes and their avowed opponents…the teachers,
administrators, and parents who are increasingly pushing back against the
madness that is pervading our educational system.

When we consider what we
have witnessed from the Biden Administration thus far, it should be no surprise
that the wokeness revolution has seeped into all aspects of our society,
culture, and government…including education. I am still astonished at how liberal Joe
Biden has become upon assuming the Presidency.
There was nothing in his past to indicate that he would become the
poster child for this wave of liberal lunacy.
The only logical explanation for it is that he is so shallow, so pliant,
so untethered by principle or ethics, and of such a malleable character that
his handlers have been able to essentially use him as an empty vessel and fill
him with the poisonous brew of their radical agenda. He is the useful idiot who has filled our
government with other not-so-useful idiots.

When Biden opposed
President Trump for the White House, this nation was at a fiscal
crossroads. The free-market policies of
Donald Trump had reinvigorated the American economy in a way not seen since
President Reagan. Even after absorbing
the dark cloud consequences of the pandemic, Trump had this nation poised to
regain its vital economic health and rebound from our national business
shutdown. Incredibly, America was a
net energy exporter. But then Biden
was elected. Since that time, a new
brand of economics has ruled our nation.
It has involved many things, but foremost among them is the explosion
of federal spending. In just over
two years, the Biden Administration has frittered away all of the significant
and impressive economic accomplishments realized under Trump. It is hard to accept that given two more
years of this fiscal tomfoolery, any type of return to common sense economic
policies will be a long time off in the future…at best.

Paul Krugman is one of
the Democrat’s mouthpieces in the media.
He faithfully carries their water and reflects their “why worry about
tomorrow” economic philosophy. https://reason.com/2023/02/23/paul-krugman-says-social-security-is-sustainable-its-really-not/
Let’s give some credit
to elected officials who have the courage to address real problems with real
solutions: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/senate/bipartisan-senators-consider-raising-retirement-age-for-social-security
And how do you suppose
all of this Democrat spending will be paid for: https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/biden-taxes/2023/02/28/id/1110516/
. Yeah sure…he’s only going to tax the
billionaires. Where have we heard that
before?
When it comes to foreign
policy, Biden has clearly reverted back to the spineless and unprincipled
leadership demonstrated throughout the Obama Administration years. He is one colossal blowhard when he’s talking
tough about China or Russia; but his actions reveal him to be the wuss that he
is. Somehow…in some way…China
owns this man. America is adrift in
the global sea with a clueless captain at the helm.

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/believe-the-hype/
The rot that lies within
the Biden Family Business cabal continues to fester. It has seeped into the Department of Justice
and shows signs of creeping into other areas of our government. When one considers the huge amounts of money
that flowed from China into Biden family interests, it is hard not to suspect
that something was being bought and paid for. It is not yet clear exactly what that something
is. And…as long as Attorney General
Merrick Garland and the Deep State are running interference for the Bidens,
things are not going to get much clearer anytime soon.

More of this would
go a long way towards explaining things: https://nypost.com/2023/02/26/thank-god-for-the-whistleblowers-exposing-the-fbis-blatant-political-bias/
The unholy alliance that
has formed between Biden’s politicized Department of Justice, the mainstream
media, and high tech poses an unprecedented threat to the rights and liberties
of America’s citizens.
Story after story after story have been coordinated and calculated to
mislead the public and an individual’s ability to exercise legitimate dissent
from the “popular opinion” is becoming increasingly marginalized. The distorted myth of the January 6
protests and the legal fallout from it is a case in point. The unrestrained quest for power to control
news and the free exchange of information by this group continues to expand and
with two more years to pursue their goals, our freedoms as individual citizens
are endangered as never before.

cast a glance or two at the upcoming elections. This vein of entertainment promises to be a
high-yielding venture over the foreseeable future.

Here is one sure fire way
to improve government. Shrink it! https://reason.com/2023/02/20/want-less-corruption-try-having-less-government/
As I watch my children
raising their children, I am struck by how my approach to counseling my
grandchildren differs from how I counseled my children. Perhaps I have more time now than I did
then; I am more patient and reflective. Perhaps I have learned some things
by screwing up so many times. I think my
counsel is somewhat improved over what it was; but the demand for it has
decreased significantly. We want so
much for our kids. We want to
shelter them from all the pain and danger.
We want them to succeed and do great things. But most of all, we want them to be
happy…truly happy. If only words
could convey the lessons we have learned by surviving lo these many years on
the planet. But many times…they
cannot. Some things simply have to
be lived…to be experienced…in order to appreciate them. Here is a group of songs with lyrics that
don’t just sound nice, they extend important messages to our youth as they grow
and mature. Sometimes the addition of
music to the message makes it a bit more effective.
Our hopes and dreams for
them are boundless…

Most important of all,
they have to remember they can always come home. They are always loved and our forgiveness is
eternal…

Children…live your lives
fully. Don’t litter your past with
regrets along the way. Celebrate the
people you love, the opportunities you meet, and the lives you affect…

And whether you are a
father or a son, husband or wife…tell the ones you love that you love
them…don’t wait too long or burn those bridges…
