When I read twitter, this is what l think.
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar
Why has the Western left given over everything they believed in and fought for to allow in Muslims? I will never believe in the zeal and earnestness of a leftist again.
Not a Christian, but am a "have slaughtered animals guy"
When you kill an animal halal style its alive for awhile before it dies
Whats that look like?
Picture a cow in box.
Google Rotary Slaughter Box if you can watch it
Then you slash its throat.
Not the spinal cord, you allow it to bleed out
An animal done this way will vocalize, kick, you name it
By vocalize, I mean scream. A cow with its throat slashed sounds AWFUL
Mewling, gurgling as blood is pressurized and sprays
Their eyes go wild, all over the room until the lights go out
If you partake in this you are a savage and nothing more
Taking an animal humanely is one thing, and owed to them if you ask me
Being an absolute barbarian for your "god" or whatever is another, whomever it may be
Halal and anything like it should be banned and.prosecuted as animal abuse in America, full stop

I believe it takes years to develop writing skills. There’s grammar, word choice, sentence structure, paragraph structure, and punctuation to learn. Then it takes many more years to develop a style, tone, and voice that are effective. I am still learning to write, and I am 51.
If you have a kid who can read fluently, you can teach them everything they need to know about writing in a month. We make this into way too big of a deal.

Homeschool to preserve and defend their innocence as long as possible. Own animals that reproduce— cats, chickens, goats— to teach the facts of life in the easiest way. Read books like Robinson Crusoe and the Chronicles of Narnia that thoroughly teach good and evil.
Dear internet people on my phone.
Looking for advice from parents with young children for something I am unsure of…
Question.
As children get older, how do you maintain their precious childhood innocence whilst also teaching them enough about the nature & reality of the people/world around them, so that they are not completely naive to it as they start getting older?
This is something I am unsure how to navigate.

Me: Enjoying my babies
Them: "Oh, just wait until they hit the terrible twos."
Me: Enjoying my toddlers
Them: "Oh, just wait until they're preteens."
Me: Enjoying hanging out with my preteens
Them: "Oh, just wait until they're teenagers."
Me: "Have you considered that well raised children can be enjoyable at every age?"
I forgot, but it was very common to simply go on a family drive to kill time on a Sunday afternoon.

For many years I have conscientiously not participated because, let’s face it, plastic is genuinely bad for the environment. But the easiest way not to participate is to homeschool. Rewards are free time or food that they would otherwise not receive.
We live in such a junk culture. Like goodie bags for kids parties- junk. A lot of advent calendars- junk. Toys instead of candy at Halloween- junk.
There are exceptions but like so many things have just become junk

I think this song is really fitting right now. It was clearly written during the Cold War and a nuclear threat but America is really dying now and with it, Christianity is threatened.

Things are not as they seem.
I served as a poll watcher today and noticed something that struck me as rather odd.
Throughout the evening, I carefully kept a handwritten tally of every voter who cast a ballot. Each time I compared my count with the total displayed on the voting machine, the machine consistently showed one or two more votes than I had recorded.
To eliminate the possibility of an error in my counting, I repeatedly reset my handwritten tally to match the machine's displayed total and began counting again from that point forward. Yet, at the next comparison, the machine was once again ahead by one or two votes.
This happened repeatedly throughout the evening.
I'm not suggesting I know the reason for the discrepancies, but the consistency certainly caught my attention. I would be interested in understanding why the machine totals repeatedly differed from my firsthand count of voters.

Abdul El-Sayed proudly introduces himself as Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, America’s first Muslim senator, and then starts speaking in Arabic.
Americans better brace themselves. The communist and Islamic takeover has officially begun. They’re going to get exactly what they just asked for.

Don’t empathize with Anakin.
Identify with Aragorn.
He’s the ultimate anti-doomer.
When all seemed lost, Aragorn still acted out of principle & not self-interest.
He didn’t change his actions based on feelings or probabilities.
He didn’t harbor vengeance.
He had a duty, and he risked life and love to fulfill it (saving both in the process).
And yet it is popular to say parents aren’t smart enough to homeschool. The truth is that parents are the first and final source of intellectual development and they have to either do it at their will through homeschool or after school hours at the will of the state.
NYC public schools deceived me into thinking my son was a straight-A math student — but he can’t do fractions, basic algebra. Read today's cover here: trib.al/Xesuvi2
Among it being hijacked by adults making it too macabre, too many stealing or using ill manners, an influx of immigrants whose religion and culture forbid it, and Christians convincing one another that it is evil, I would have to say an unfortunate yes.

I hesitantly said to my 12 yr old daughter, who never agrees to do chores, “You’re a princess born in a pauper’s family.” She was not insulted, rather she smiled and said that she had often thought that.

One particular teenage son didn’t get on with me until I started using a lot of sarcasm and bold statements around him and now we’re quite good friends.
