So after supper tonight I sat down with a ice cold glass of the nectar of the gods, Coca Cola , and started running channels on the idiot box to see if anything worth watching was on before switching to a streaming service.
I wound up stopping on Tucker Carlson cause he was ragging on that woman who I sorely love to hate, paski. She was giving a press conference about about Al's Kay Ivey signing the into law a bill over banning certain treatment for transgenderism by doctors and and makes it a crime, and another law regarding what is taught about it in school for early grades and the use of restrooms by transgender people.
here's a link about what psaki was rambling on about.
Quote:Republican Governor Kay Ivey signed sweeping legislation Friday that outlawed gender-affirming medications for transgender youth. Under the new law, doctors could face criminal penalties for prescribing puberty blockers or hormones to transgender youth under 19 years old.
"There are very real challenges facing our young people, especially with today's societal pressures and modern culture," Ivey said in a statement Friday. "I believe very strongly that if the Good Lord made you a boy, you are a boy, and if he made you a girl, you are a girl."
In addition to banning gender-affirming medications, the bill also prohibits gender transition surgeries, although doctors told lawmakers those are generally not done on minors. Violations are punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

Any way I left it there to listen to while I surfed the web. It was a few minutes later I heard what sounded like a kids cartoon playing. You know like the ones they play on Saturday mornings now the educational and informational (E/I) ones.
I had just took a sip of my nectar, and spit it out all over my remote when I heard and saw what it was. So I watched to see what he was talking about and then went and looked for myself.
I Don't Fucking Believe It, this is shit that woke libtards are pushing, and to top it off Youtube allowing it, when they ban real serious speech about other subjects.
Here is the video he had playing, of course it was edited on his show.
Warning some may find it offensive, I'll also post a link for their channel so you can go see for yourself. Some don't sound all that bad from the titles, others well. This is the kinda shit they want preteens to be able to be taught in school.
Here's another
Now do any of you really think this was made for teens? Hell I don't even think teens would even sit through them. To me it is clearly aimed at younger kids, just because of the way it is worded , expressed, even drawn.
Here is the Youtube Channel Link, and their Website.

Well for some reason now it's timing out, getting 502 and 504 gateway timed out it was working earlier. Guess they shut it down after he put their trash out on public notice.

I just spent the whole day dealing with teenage victims of assault. The one thing that stood out is that many teens do not respect their parents, and they do not believe anything they tell them. But those same teens will believe anything a stranger, or someone on the internet tells them.
Even when they become victims of assault because of their poor judgment, they take it out on their parents, and blame them, more than they do their assailant.
Too many teens are trapped in a make believe virtual world, and will fight you tooth and nail if you try to release them from it. I don't have any easy answers for this problem. Or should I say, I don't have any answers that most parents will be willing to adopt.
For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not.
Yet I still post.

So, do they not respect their parents because the schools are brainwashing them?
The fabric of the American family is that frayed that parents are disrespected?
Do the parents share some of the blame, for trying to be buddies instead of parents, or worse: they just don't really give a damn?
This is bad.

Unfortunately, neither do I, with my boys we raised them like our parents did, which then was a much different time than now, so did my bothers. All of them have turned out to be well adjusted adults, with the exception of my middle brothers oldest.Who is just now starting to become one at 30. But that is not his nor my brothers fault, that's my brothers crazy ass first wife's fault who had full custody and that goes back to her dysfunctional family. They were all screwed up, even the ones that people thought were sane had some lose screws.
But any way when me and my brothers were growing up, we didn't have a bunch of agenda driven grown up pushing the kinda shit that they are today. Reproduction wasn't even taught till middle school then it was just basic of why and how it worked, not the actual acts and then in high school biology and then it was a elective called health and hygiene did any how to's were taught, and it was not approaching anything for lack of a better term pornographic or cartoons showing how to use your boner and cooter.
Back then kids under the age of 12 were expected to be kids, to live for playing and having fun,leaning the fundamentals.not worrying about if i'm gonna wear a dress, screw the little hottie down the road, slobbering on the other ones knober or any other thing that has to do with sex.
A good many of these video are clearly are just about that, now there are some as I said that i don't have a problem with the ones about reporting abuse, trafficking, finding trust worthy adults are fine.
But the teaching of sex for a child under 12 should be left to the parents, and if they decide it's appropriate and need help doing the teaching then I see no problem with something like this.
One thing i noticed, i didn't have to sign in to see the videos that i checked out, so that tell me that any litt;e johhny or suzie can watch them. That's not right.

I've done a fair amount of contemplation and research on this very subject. I feel it is very important to understand because it is a snapshot of the future to be. It boils down the the "Old Dog - New Tricks" theme. In other words, if it doesn't get addressed now, and from all sides, then there truly is a time when it will be "Too late".
I do believe that parents share in some of the responsibility here; not all of it, but certainly some. I've watched it happen. As a society, we can find all manner of things to point fingers at as excuses, but at the end of the day they are just that..."excuses". Too busy. Two working parents. More money. Cost of college. And there are 10,000 other reasons/excuses. Many parents (not all) have allowed themselves to be brainwashed, but not with the same indoctrination happening in their kid's schools, rather a different kind. They have allowed society to convince them that all kids have to be a certain way, that they have to be allowed to "fit in" to their kid-societies. They've been convinced that to raise them otherwise is wrong and a mistake. I don't believe this is correct. All this does is allow the indoctrination their kids are getting in school to take root even deeper, hence their kids loathing of, and disrespect to, them as parents.
My sister, her former husband (now passed) and my Nephew (her son) are all educators, all at the graduate collegiate level. All have their Doctorate (PhD), and my Nephew has his JD, in addition to his PhD. (The whole family is well educated, most with post graduate degrees. I note this only for ability to interpret things.) So, I've seen the undercurrent in the education system, and this undercurrent is a lack of respect for the intellect of parents in general. In other words, at the highest levels educators don't believe that parents are qualified to be 'parents'. It's not as overt as just that, but it's there, and it's real. What this does is, it effectively removes the parents from the 'parenting' equation, by design. Unless parents realize this, and isolate their children from this mentality (not remove them from, but identify it, and isolate them "from" it) they will fall victim "to" it.
If you let this concept soak-in for a little while, what you begin to see is, from the top down you have a 'system' which because of ego, or whatever, is pitting their intellect against the intellect of parents. This is a fundamentally different philosophy from days passed. Until this is exposed, in terms that less educated parents can understand, it will only get worse. Parents will be removed further and further out of the role of 'parenting' until their only role is just as surrogates to pop out new "recruits". It's a production line mentality.
So, do parents have some responsibility? Yes, I believe they do. Should they be expected to be smarter than the most educated "educators"? No, such an expectation would be unrealistic. However, there ARE people who are NOT educators, who ARE as intelligent as the most educated educators and who have the ability to expose these trends. They have the ability to translate (even 'dumb-down', if you will) these concepts into terms parents understand so they can do something about it. The problem right now is...many of the people who have these abilities lean left just like the educators who are indoctrinating their children lean left. And therein lies the problem.
Fix that, and now we're getting somewhere! (And that, is a "fixable" problem, a fixable problem within the reach of everyone).
Just my .02

This is bad.
I think there is a lot of blame to go around, but personally, I blame the parents, because it is their job to care for, protect, teach, and grow their child into a productive adult citizen, that can survive and hopefully improve the society they live in.
Too many parents are victims of a society that is based on fantasy, wants, feelings, and narcissism. Ask yourself, how many children graduated last year that will be to obtain jobs that will allow them to leave home and start on their journey towards adulthood. How many will be able to earn enough money to afford an apartment, utilities, transportation, food, and clothing, own their own? How many can afford to purchase a home of their own? How many of those young people even want to live independently? The majority I deal with want to be adults at the expense of their parents, and too many parents allow them to do this. They want to be treated like adults, while they live off their parents, and they want to establish the rules that they expect their parents to adhere to. It is truly an upside down world.
Everyone I know has grown children with college degrees still living at home, and most of them have no desire to leave or to get their own home. I have one neighbor that has a grandson that speaks of owning his own home, the only problem with that is that he is waiting for his grandparents to die, then he plans to claim their home. Again, living in a fantasy, because he has a brother and a sister, making the same plans. He thinks because he is the oldest, it automatically belongs to him, forgetting that he has two Uncles that have priority over him.
Many young people are not looking forward to a nine to five job. I spoke with two young ladies yesterday. When asked what their plans were for the future, one said she wanted to be an entrepreneur, but she could not tell me what that meant, or how she could even start the process to entrepreneurship. The other told me that she is planning to have her own YouTube channel. When I asked her how she was going to do that, she told me that it is "easy"!When I asked her if it was so easy, why had she not started on this journey, she said she was working on it.
These two young ladies are just the most recent. I get almost the same response from most teens and you adults. Most are between the ages of 14 and 24. Our society is not prepping young people to advance into independent, productive, citizens. They want them to be easily manipulated and controlled consumers, riding on their parents blood sweat and tears.
Many parents are working themselves into an early grave that is going to leave their children as victims of the wolves behind every corner. Our society is not geared towards the growth of our children. Parents are mislead, confused, and are afraid to be parents. Being a parent comes with the bitter and the sweet. Discipline is mandatory, it is not an option, for both the parent and the child.
It has never been easy being a parent. I fully admit that it is becoming harder to stay the course. But....your children are "your" responsibility. Even if someone tells you different, even if that someone is the government.

@"NightskyeB4Dawn" - You captured everything most people need to hear in the 5th word of your 2nd paragraph. The word is "Victim".
Society, and many parents in particular, have allowed themselves to believe they are "Victims", that they have no control over their destiny and future. This "victim mentality" will almost certainly creep into the minds of their children until they believe the same thing; they are "victims".
It's funny (not really, sad really) what you describe in your 2nd and 3rd paragraphs. I was actually going to cite a similar story, almost identical in fact, which I experienced recently. Because of my love of writing instruments and stationery, I am a member of a Reddit community about journaling which I was asked to participate in to assist others in the seemingly mundane task of matching writing instruments and inks to paper types, as well as writing styles, etc. As a by product of this involvement I have the misfortune of seeing what some people write in their journals (not something I particularly relish, frankly, contrary to what some likely think). This community is populated mostly by younger people, generally in the same age range as you cite above. One individual in particular recently was seeking some advice on a myriad of topics such as what 'person' to write in, as well as what binding types and inks to use for long-term preservation and storage. The example this person used to highlight their dilemma just happened to be about their job and work life. What they wrote, coupled with the responses from numerous others in their same age group, was a real shocker.
Their subject, without being too revealing, was about what an imposition on their life their boss was, and what a jackass he was for asking that this person work more than 30 hours per week and/or at times before 11am or after 4pm. This person was not a student or otherwise engaged in another activity, they just felt like their employer was being completely unreasonable to expect they would dedicate this much of their precious time to working. If it would have just ended there, I would have been shaking my head, but it went on to list a great big long list of conditions this individual felt were minimum criteria, including salaries, for their employer, both current or future, to meet in order for them to be satisfied and/or happy. This was all based on consensus with this person's many friends and social interactions, and was further supported by literally hundreds of responses on Reddit. To say I was shocked is the understatement of the year! I was floored!
It would have been one thing if this was just isolated to one person's misinformed and misguided view of the World in which we live, but it clearly wasn't. This person's mindset was clearly based on an almost universal social "bar" which was unacceptable to go below with their peer groups. WOW!
I couldn't help but think back to when I was first starting out, working 80-90 hours a week (and yes, making good OT money while doing it). I wasn't making a big hourly wage, but I knew I had to work however many hours it took to support the lifestyle I wished to live at that time in my life. But this isn't about me, other than to serve as a basis for comparison. This person's view was, from my perspective, completely detached from reality. The wage expectations alone were so far misaligned with what employers will be willing to pay it was almost laughable (no, it WAS laughable!). Worse, was their ultimatums. Their threat, their alternative, to "punish" employers who believed otherwise was to...just NOT work, to continue to live under their parent's roof, paid for by their parents, and to continue to eat food provided by their parents, to get money from their parents and basically to continue being a bottom feeder. This, was supposed to teach their employer, and all future potential employers, a "lesson" in what is acceptable and what is not.
It is difficult for me to even find or select the proper words to describe my dismay that such a creature could even exist at all and still continue to breathe the same air I do. Let me be clear here; that statement is not intended to be an observation of my opinion of their value to society, but rather that anyone could live in a world which would train them to believe such things, and then actually reinforce those beliefs from all angles (i.e. above, below and from the sides in the form of peers, parents, educators and society in general).
That, to me, speaks volumes and volumes about the society parents are allowing to be created today. And, if they allow it to continue, there will come a time when they will no longer be able to correct these behaviors and beliefs. In the case of the one individual I referenced above, I fear it is too late. I don't know how old this person was, but from their writing style, and the experiences they listed, I would have guessed they were in their mid-twenties if not older. Parents, who have a child with beliefs like those at that age, have failed. Just my opinion though.
Again, my .02, FWIW.

This, was supposed to teach their employer, and all future potential employers, a "lesson" in what is acceptable and what is not.
We only have our experiences for comparison.
I was a single woman carrying for an infant niece, a toddler, and a nine year old nephew. My Mother moved in with me to help me raise the children. In order to provide them with a home in a decent community, and a good education, I worked for thirty-six months, communing to a job that allowed me to do that. I had to get up at four am, and did not return home until ten pm every day, seven days a week for thirty six months. It was no picnic, but it took care of the bills, and allowed to me to provide for the children and my Mother. I did not know the impact it was having on me and the children.
I opened up my own business, and that required much more of my time. My now five year old niece had taken my briefcase and was riding off in the little battery driven car given to her by her Uncle. I told her, "Wait!" "Come back, I need to talk to you!" She screamed back saying, "I don't have time!" "Fax me!" I yelled to her, "Where are you going?" She told me,"I don't have, time I am going to work!"
I still remember that dart that pierced my heart when I heard her words. She was five years old, her sister was three, and all they ever really had seen of me, was darting to work, coming home, and going to bed, just to start off the next morning doing the same thing. I made a promise to myself that I was going to spend more quality time with the children, and I had them involved in community activities, that helped provide healthy use of the their time while they were entertained.
One day the girls asked if they could go to work with me. I thought, "Why not?" The girls started hanging out at work with me, which helped a lot in keeping them busy, helped them learn, and helped them feel the pleasure from being productive, and part of a team. It also gave them quality time with me. The even helped out in some of the other businesses in the building. They loved it, and the other companies loved them. It was a win, win for all of us.
I agree, this is not about you or me, because the old ways do not work with the children today. I believe that parents are going to have to be creative in how they discipline their children. I have no concrete answers for how they do that, because I am sure every child is different, though they are still under the influence of the same mediums.

I realize not every parent can do this type of reset, but take your kids out of the public school system and even better move off-grid or if that is too radical, consider relocating to a small tiny rural town a hundred or miles away from any city and learn how to live off the land. Kids will hate you for it (depending on age) but I'm betting by the end of this tumultuous decade they will thank you for it, at least their health certainly will.
I wanted to do this but my cosmopolitan, high octane, social butterfly wife that became way too high society comfortable on my salary; I was forced to compromise...so when my daughter had turned 14-15 I shipped her off to a working ranch farm out in the middle of literally no where for the summers...3 months with no phone, no internet/tv, and no friends. I was enemy #1 in her eyes for a long time, but she finally came around and thanked me for doing it.

Rural America is dying. I lived for over twenty years off a five mile dirt road that resembled more of a cow pasture than a road, out in the middle of the woods, with only about eighteen neighbors. Until the State allowed a new city to be developed about five miles from where I live. We are being closed in, and the urban lifestyle is permeating the area, and schools.
You have a lot of people that are moving from the cities to the country, and then changing the country into the same city that they claimed they wanted to leave.
