Very well written. However could we just reduce the Dear Leader's comment to the common denominator; lies, more lies, lies about lies, and then the inevitable "how dare you..." Hucksters huck and this Elmer Gantry's day is coming. BTW - where is the The good Senator from MN who authored the book about liars now? Seems to be MIA. Open message to Mr. Franken: are these the lying liars of whom you wrote?

Hucksters huck. Charlatans lie, distract, then blame others for their own failures. This man is an empty suit and always has been. He simply "is", which was/is enough for some people. What a terrible price we pay for narcissism, willful blindness, and sloth.

How silly. You really need to look up the term "grit". Tying one's shoes is indeed an accomplishment yet is simply a small step on the path to self reliance. To aggrandize it beyond it's value is a disservice to the child. Encourage when possible. Correct when necessary. Love at all times. As to your toddler by a busy road snark: pathetic.

Experienced the same thing. Amazing. Also, my response was the same; "if Mom or Dad is doing more than just giving you a ride here then we don't have anything further to discuss". Actually had a Mom that wanted to join the interview. I simply told the Mom " Mrs. X, you are not applying for the position. Kindly wait outside please". When she objected I simply asked her to leave...along with her 20 year old child.

You do recall that Polly Klass was abducted from her own bedroom correct? As tragic as it was it begs the question as to what Mr. Klass could have done differently to prevent it? The author's point is that denying our children the experiences they need to become capable men and women is myopic.

It is a sad fact that the only thing that the "media" can truely report on is the weather. And even then we are subjected to a blast of "climate change" dreck along with the temperatures and so-called forecasts. Anyone who thinks that any semblance of "news" can be found in the MSM is delusional.

Term limits folks. A big part of the solution to avoid such incompetence and malfeasance as this. As to the former Sec of State: she mastered the art of the "big lie" long ago. She had a world class teacher. Remember "I (pronounced ah) did not have sexual relations with that young woman", complete with finger wagging and spoken in high dudgeon in front of the nation? Again the quote of GK Chesterton rings loudly: "it is apalling how few politicians are hanged".

Lie lie, lie, then lie some more. Remember "I did not have sexual relations with that young woman"? Update that to "it was this viscious video (that no one viewed) that caused the death of those men - repeat 150 times on national TV. These are the practioners of the great art of the lie a'la Goebels; Tell it loudly and endlessly and it will eventually be believed. This pile of dreck directly influenced the results of a national election, and that is the very inconvenient truth whichis coming out. A pox on these people.

What a mindless response.

Turd.

More dreck from a reality free perspective. Thanks for playing. Now feel free to leave.
