A Tribute to Our Navy & Marine Fighter Pilots REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

From June 24, 2022

 

I wish I’d thought of posting this for Memorial Day. But that wicked damnable piffle yesterday about the U.S. Navy focusing on “safe space” and “right pronouns” forced me to remember the real Navy that my father joined in World War II, to protect America from her enemies and overcome them.

O God our Lord! What have we come to?

This video was created as a tribute to our Navy and Marine fliers, and their sacrifices on behalf of their country. The haunting musical theme, Away He Went, comes from a 1960 movie about the life of Admiral Halsey, The Gallant Hours.

God help us, we should be convulsed with shame for what we’ve allowed to be done to our country.

What’s With the New Army Recruitment Ad?

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Army recruitment is down 25%. Don’t be surprised: the U.S. Army for the past three years has been dragged head-first through the Woke/Climate Change swamp. Remember the “two moms” ad? That’s the kind of garbage they’ve been playing with.

So suddenly we have an ad showing paratroopers in action–and they’re all white men. Conservatives think this sudden course correction means the Pentagon has war jitters: suddenly an all-Woke DEI military doesn’t seem like such a hot idea. And leftids are screaming bloody murder about the ad’s lack of Diversity. Where are the gay wimmin intersectional non-binary drag queen paratroopers?

Let’s backtrack some nine years and watch a video of a religious service for U.S. Marines in their mess hall. Not an ad. Something real.

See that? They’re all here–whites, blacks, Hispanics. All together.

But that’s not some half-baked manufactured “diversity.”

That’s unity.

And our “leaders” have come dangerously close to frittering it away.

 

Good News! Homeschooling Surges

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Florida parents say they want rights in schools. What does that mean?

Looks like the plebs are not complying anymore!

Homeschooling has become the fastest-growing form of education in America, according to a study by the Washington Post, now widely reported (https://www2.cbn.com/news/us/homeschooling-becomes-fastest-growing-form-education-america). We heard it discussed on the radio this morning.

Remember: they closed the public schools because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and that was the impetus for many families to take up homeschooling. The Experts all predicted that most of these kids would be sent back to public school once the scare was over.

And they were wrong. The numbers didn’t slide back down. They kept increasing. They’re increasing as we speak.

Well, of course they are! Public schooling is a disaster–at best. Critical Race Theory. Gender change! Drag queens in the classroom. School libraries chock-full of porn. Need we say more? The surprising thing is that only two or three million families are now homeschooling. It should be more–but maybe we are getting there.

And let’s not forget the school boards calling in the FBI to “investigate” parents who don’t like their gender-bending, race-hustling policies.

If our civilization goes belly-up, it will have been our so-called education system that killed it.

But maybe we are finally waking up to that.

Here’s My Radio Interview!

(Don’t worry–it’s not an Ancient History lecture)

Wahoo! Here’s the audio of my interview with Del Eldred on his talk radio show yesterday.

https://theklickitatvoice.buzzsprout.com/1804435/13881552-lee-duigon-government-the-problem-not-the-solution

Okay, I’m listening to it, and it doesn’t sound any worse than usual (gee, I wish I could do a Richard Burton voice!).

Anyway, here it is–and I hope you enjoy it.

OK, I Did It!

(No wonder she’s so tired… Please tell us she didn’t lay those eggs.)

Well, I’ve done the interview with Delmer Eldred, he’s invited me back in January so I must’ve done all right–and now I’m really tired, I think I want a cigar.

You wouldn’t think being interviewed was hard work, but sometimes it is… especially when you’re really trying hard to reach the audience. And it’s been years since I’ve done this.

After he edits the tape, Mr. Eldred will send me a link to the show so I can post it here and you can all listen to it. It’ll be on both AM and FM radio out in Washington State. I wonder if my voice sounds any better than it did.

For the time being, I need some rest and then we’re going to visit our town’s Halloween decorations. And at least one more blog post after that.

Pushback (!) for Parental Rights

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Parents protesting 'critical race theory' identify a new target: Mental health programs

Are you mad enough yet, folks?

As reported by the Christian Science Monitor, as of March 1 of this year, 32 states have Parental Bill of Rights acts pending in their legislatures (https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Education/2023/0324/32-states-and-counting-Why-parents-bills-of-rights-are-sweeping-US). Some of the bills have already failed–voted down by Democrats–but they can always come back. And there is a federal Parental Rights bill in the House of Representatives… which will be voted down by Democrats in the Senate. Or else vetoed by SloJo, who thinks opposition to “transgender” is (we quote) “almost sinful.” Rhymes with “skin full.”

And as we reported here two years ago, that ol’ Pandemic had children being “educated” online at home by “remote learning”–and for the first time, parents actually saw and heard what their children were being “taught.” And they didn’t like it!

Now we have a flurry of parental rights bills in many state legislatures. In a lot of states, the bills will never pass. But never mind. Make the Democrats go on record as being against parents’ rights, against the family. We know they think it. Now let’s make them say it–loud and clear, for everyone to hear. And while we’re at it, we can find out how many Democrat big shots send their kids to expensive private schools and wouldn’t be caught dead in those public schools that the rest of us are supposed to settle for.

Thirty-two states!

Sounds like progress, to me.

We Need to Empty the Classrooms

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Teacher empty classroom hi-res stock photography and images ...

Let’s face it, the Far Left teachers’ unions and Far Left teachers’ colleges aren’t going to change their tune. Leaving our children in their hands, five days a week, is cultural suicide. I think it comes down to this: either they go, or the public schools go.

To this end, I propose (doesn’t that sound grand!) a nationwide Public Education Walk-Out–ten million kids, and more if we can get them, to be kept home from school for one day to demonstrate America’s total rejection of what has been done to our education system.

If you like race-baiting, dirty books in the school library, “teachers” bragging to first-graders about their aberrant lifestyles, and that big, big push for Transgender–well, then, just keep on sending ’em to public schools. But if you don’t like what they’re selling, please stop buying it!

We have to show them we mean business, and a massive walk-out is a good start. We have to convince our, ahem, “educators” that if they keep on serving up their garbage, they’re going to have to serve it to an empty classroom.

If they win, we lose.

And we can’t afford to lose.

Pushback: Climate Policy ‘Creates Poverty’

GOP picks McMorris Rodgers for Energy and Commerce; Westerman for Resources - POLITICO

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers–a breath of fresh air

There’s a new House of Representatives in Washington, and a new chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee–Rep. Cathy Rodgers (R-WA). And she has, in her own words, “hit the ground running” (https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4122556/posts).

It’s about time someone said this, and she’s the one who spoke up.

“Climate justice is not justice,” she said, “because it’s creating poverty… Climate change policy creates a permanent underclass to be controlled by the government.”

You bet! Can you give me “Hallelujah”?

Congress needs to find ways, she said, to lower food and energy costs for American families.

Meanwhile the globalist gang is preparing to meet in Davos and devise more ways to meddle with our way of life and diminish our freedom and prosperity. The United States has to stand tall–and given what we’ve got in the way of government, it won’t be easy.

But we’ve got Congresswoman Rodgers in our corner, and that’s a start.

Ottawa County (Michigan) Cleans House

The house that Woke built! Ottawa County says “No more!”

Voters in Ottawa County, Michigan, elected eight candidates, backed by the conservative Ottawa Impact PAC, to their county commission by an overwhelming majority–and ousted seven left-leaning “woke” RINOs (https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/michigan-county-commissioners-obliterate-woke-marxist-policies-programs-at-very-first-meeting/). Conservatives now hold nine of eleven seats on the county government.

When they took their oaths of office a few days ago, the new commissioners immediately voted to eliminate all “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” programs in the county. At their first meeting, no less! And then they fired the county administrator on the spot–he’s out, out, out. And so is his Marxist agenda.

So it can be done! And must be done, throughout the country. The good guys can win local elections! They can put a stop to the woke madness that’s devouring our communities, our schools, and everything else it can sink its fangs into.

If Ottawa County can do it, so can other counties.

Just to let you know, we have some good news on tap for tomorrow. This is just a preview.

*There’s a new Republican governor in Nevada, and the first thing he did was to rescind all the state’s COVID “mandates.” Welcome back, freedom!

(There’s stupid nooze, too, but that can wait till tomorrow.)
