‘Scientific American’ Disses Homeschooling

“You are getting sleepy, very sleepy… You will obey my commands…”

Remember the equation: Science + Politics = Politics.

Scientific American last month came down hard on homeschooling, calling for “background checks” (?) of homeschooling parents and a “federal mandate” to regulate homeschooling (https://mustreadalaska.com/scientific-american-calls-for-federal-regulation-of-homeschool-families/#:~:text=The%20magazine%20wants%20government%20oversight,federal%20government%20into%20families’%20lives.).

Yeah! Who needs a legislature, when a few nimrods in D.C. can hand down Mandates that everyone has to obey or else?

It’s all necessary, said the magazine writers, “just in case” there might be child abuse committed by parents instead of public school teachers and administrators.

Besides! Don’t you want your kids to learn about Changing Their Gender? Using new pronouns? Blaming white people for everything that goes wrong?

It has long since been proved that homeschooled children routinely outscore and out-perform public school students on all sorts of standardized tests. (Yeahbut, yeahbut! What if those evil homeschooling parents fail to teach Evolution? ‘Cause you need to believe in Evolution if you want to be a CPA or an aviation mechanic–or anything else!)

Heck, it’s been months since we had a brand-new Mandate! People are gonna get sloppy, ya know? Thinking they’re free citizens of a republic, or some silly thing like that.

I don’t know what kind of “science” lands your kids in Gendergarten. And I’d rather not find out.

‘Politrical Correctness Is Good For You’ (2015)

Politrical Correctness is Good for You

This little essay contains a core principle of Far Left idiocy: “If you can’t see the Confrederet Flag, then you can’t think any Confrederet thoughts.” Utopia can’t get here until government controls what we think. And that starts with controlling what we see and hear.

‘Ninnie Links “Climate Change” To “Income Inequality”‘ (2015)

I think they forgot to invite me to this wing-ding.

Coming up against this much hypocrisy, this much sheer stupidity, and above all, this much evil, I find myself pretty close to speechless.

Ninnie Links ‘Climate Change’ to ‘Income Inequality’

Is it really necessary for me to propose some argument against “income equality” created by the coercive will of an all-powerful government?

If that appeals to you, Satan’s got you.

‘Climate Change’ Alarmism: Pure Ca-Ca

Glug-glug-glug! We’re all gonna drown because of Climbit Change! More power to the government!

(Thanks to Susan for the nooze tip.)

The Far Left is scratching its head over its inability to weed out “Climate Change denialism” (https://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2024/04/041824-narain-climate-change-disbelief). Why don’t people believe in Climbit Change–the great boogie-man of our age?

Sheesh! Let me count the ways! Or don’t I have the space to do that here?

*Everybody knows (except college professors) that the earth’s climates always fluctuate and have always done so. Ice Age, anybody? Remember when they were trying to scare us with the new Ice Age?

*Dukechronicle.com cites a “distrust in… all of science as a whole.” (Remember the equation: Science + Politics = Politics.) They link this to “a distrust in people.” Not just any people, says I. Many of us can’t trust Democrats under any circumstances, and Democrats are the ones pushing Climbit Change. They do it to get their grubby hands on our money and to accrue power to themselves at our expense.

Forsooth, there is “a broken relationship between the ivory tower–” another crowd pushing Climbit Change for all they’re worth–“and very much the rest of the world.”

*If you trust the colleges and universities, there’s something wrong with you.

They’ve been hitting us over the head with their alarmism for years now, every day. If they had their way, they’d set up re-education camps for those of us who doubt their word. And they still can’t close the deal! You’d think that’d tell them something, wouldn’t you?

Takeaway lesson: Never, never, never give in to Far Left Crazy.

We’ll be very, very sorry if we do.

 

Oh, Boy! ‘Personal Carbon Allowances’!

We Made Hydraulic Press GODZILLA Foot Stomp EVERYTHING - Nerdist

It’s worse than Godzilla.

Here’s the next liberty-devouring monster coming down the road in our direction, courtesy of our globalist “leaders” and academics–the usual suspects. I never heard of it till yesterday: Personal Carbon Allowances (https://www.bu.edu/eci/2023/05/17/are-personal-carbon-allowances-the-missing-policy-for-addressing-climate-change/#:~:text=What%20are%20Personal%20Carbon%20Allowances,national%20targets%20and%20international%20commitments.).

The scheme, according to Boston University, “issues all adults [emphasis added] with an equal [equal to who? or what?] carbon allowance that reduces over time in line with national targets and international commitments… and could potentially be expanded (!) to cover most goods and services that have a significant carbon footprint [defined by whom?]…” It would apply to gas, electricity, and personal travel–“15-minute cities,” anyone?

I don’t think they mean to leave us any liberty at all. Do you?

Yeahbut, yeahbut! It’s Climate Change, dude! Like, we’re all gonna die unless we grant government fantastic new powers to regulate our daily lives! But this is gonna make everybody in the whole world equal!

Equally poor, equally miserable, and equally oppressed.

God defend us.

Oh, Boy! A New Tax!

Turned your car off, did they?

Say hey! Are you ready for a “mileage tax” (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/06/multiple-states-weigh-charging-residents-every-mile-they/).

Several states (Oregon, Virginia, Utah, and Hawaii) are already on board–gotta keep that revenue coming in. And The Regime is talking about imposing a federal mileage tax.

Of course, they’ll have to install some kind of doohickey in your car to keep track of how much driving you do. Are we headed for “the Hunger Games”? “Oops, you’ve driven enough this month! We’re going to have to turn your car off, remotely. Try again two months from now!”

Always trying to grow the government, aren’t we? How big, how powerful, how costly does it have to be before we cry “uncle”?

‘So You Want to Give More Power to the Government?’ (2015)

Waste, waste, waste…

They’re spending like crazy (I mean that literally) up on Capitol Hill these days, increasing our national debt by trillions of dollars at a time–in addition to financing Ukraine’s war with Russia.

Local governments are just as incontinent.

So You Want to Give More Power to the Government?

Yeah, my town has got yours beat in the waste derby–we tore down a school while we were still paying for its construction. Eventually they’ll have us paying for buildings that never get built at all.

If we ever find out the whole truth about the COVID-19 Pandemic, that’ll be an immense surprise. And don’t go thinking it’s all over and they won’t be using it to grind up our freedoms anymore. No globalist has changed his… mind… since this was written.

They’ve Got the Answers!

Wow! This post just disappeared as I was writing it! I can hardly wait till we’ve all got computer chips in our brains that’ll make us all super-smart and then, and only then, will we be truly deserving of a global government.

It shames me that I sat through the 1970s as a newspaper editor and reporter and never understood, never even really saw, what was being done right before my eyes. I was in a position to sound the alarm… and was asleep at the switch.

Confessions of a Blindfolded Newsman

I might have done something! I might have written something that would have moved people to rally, and to save the freedom and independence of their local school boards before it was too late.

And someone should have blown the whistle on the teachers’ union.

I don’t think the people knew what they were getting. And that was our fault–us “journalists.” We failed in our duty.

And some failed on purpose.

Let’s Ban… Baby Wipes!

Huggies Natural Care Plus Baby Wipes - Shop Baby Wipes at H-E-B

Forbidden! Taboo! Hands off!

Oh, those Jersey Democrats! Ours is a small state, but our Democrats don’t want to fail by comparison to California Democrats and Communist China Democrats.

So what’ll we ban now, huh? [two-year pause: thinking] Ooh! Ooh!

Let’s ban baby wipes! (https://www.shorenewsnetwork.com/2023/03/11/plastic-bags-gas-cars-gas-stoves-new-jersey-is-now-coming-after-your-baby-wipes/).

Our glorious governor (wants to be president) and legislature (want to be human) propose a $20,000 fine for using non-flush, disposable cleaning cloths. Then people will have to find other things to flush down their toilets and clog the sewer system–oh, wait, they’ve been doing that for years. With sanitary napkins. (I’ve covered a few of those stories in my time.) Are they going to ban sanitary napkins?

What a temptation!

Baby wipes and body wipes exist because people find them useful and convenient, and sometimes really need them. By contrast, there is never a time we really need our legislators. Nor have we ever found them useful or convenient. If it came to a choice between them and baby wipes, we’ll go for the baby wipes every time.
