Make the tenure review every TWO years and I would agree. Seven years is a long enough period to totally screw with the minds of youth. After they pass the test they are free to push their doctrine on the kids for seven full years! Too long. Way, way too long! And, any teacher that does not like being tested in their field of learning, has something to hide! Testing insures they keep their minds fresh and updated in their lesson plans. We should require only TOP MINDS teach our children…starting in kindergarten! And no cross-dressing teachers. I had several gay teachers during my school days, none of which cross-dressed and most of whom were some of the best teachers I ever had! They concentrated on teaching and kept their sexual orientation out of the classroom. Once you get kids thinking about sex they become deaf to other class instruction, which is why children from kindergarten to age 12 should not be indoctrinated into thinking there are more than two sexes and boys can give birth. (Now really. How asinine is that?!) Any wonder why our kids aren’t learning and IQs have dropped??? Doesn’t surprise me in the least….
Wanted to share a few thoughts with all of you, sorry so long…
Since the beginning of man people have been influenced by the spoken word. When the serpent told Adam and Eve, eating the fruit from the forbidden tree would not kill them but make them God like, Eve and then Adam ate. So right from the very beginning this demonstrated that man could be coerced. Words spoken over us , or things we see, from the time we are children, can impact us for a lifetime.
There are actual stages to the infection of one’s mind. It begins as a thought. You see something or someone makes a suggestion. You can’t control this, it’s placed before you, it can be as simple as seeing something on your phone. The enemy can be subtle. It doesn’t have to always be a big announcement, it could be just a suggestion. You begin to think about it , you dwell on it, it begins to take root. That thought turns into a plan. That plan turns into action. That action turns into repeated action. As it becomes a habit it begins to take control of you. This is why they call sins passions, because they make us passive. We see this with anger or lust or addiction. We allow it in and it takes control, we allow it to become a normal in our daily life. Evil has its ways.
This can be the same as discouraging thoughts spoken over us. A parent tells their child you’re not valuable, you’ll never be successful, you’re not as smart as your cousin. Thoughts create images. If you let those thoughts stay, you start to dwell on it, maybe I’m not worthy, maybe I have seen my best days, maybe I don’t have the talent I need, maybe I won’t be healed. Before long that little lie is going to create major infection. It’s going to poison your self image, contaminate your attitude, distort your vision. It’s important to deal with thoughts quickly. If we allow these negative thoughts to fester we’re inviting it in, we’re giving it permission to become a reality. Don’t let them linger in your mind. The scripture says to bring every thought into captivity. It’s the small foxes that spoil the vines.
It seems 5th generation warfare has been around for thousands of years. Like when the serpent told Adam and Eve the fruit would not kill them, our own government and medical establishment told us the Covid shots were safe and effective. They knowingly lied to us. Once infected with Covid there’s a good chance you won’t survive, you’ll die alone. Wear your mask, social distance, a winter of death among the unvaccinated. Theres nothing the serpent wouldn’t say or do to coerce us, take control, to push their dangerous injections into our arms. Fear, intimidation, force, lockdowns, taking away our right to freely travel. The human brain instinctually perceives restrictions, oppression and confinement as immediate threats activating survival responses. This is the hurdle the totalitarian must drive from its subjects. Although the tyrant doesn’t care if you can’t afford a home, or that you have no money for food, he does care about what you think. He is a master at coercing the mind and breaking people.
Throughout history, the nature of human freedom has been debated across varying frameworks. Philosophers, political theorists, our forefathers asserted that liberty is an intrinsic, unalienable right. This perspective suggests that we are born with a baseline need to pursue happiness and self-actualization. Thinkers like Jean-Paul Sartre argued that "man is condemned to be free." This means we are thrown into the world without predetermined guidelines, that people must be given the ultimate responsibility to define who we are through our choices.
A persons intrinsic desire for freedom will constantly put the freedom loving person at odds with evil, communism and democrats,😁, sorry I had to throw that in!! Happy Sunday!! J.Goodrich
Sadly we are seeing now an unwillingness to make the,necessary effort to guarantee that we retain that freedom. Sloth also seems to be an inalienable right too
James, To me, what you write of about the mind, can be tempered by knowing the value of meditation and the intricacies of the technique. In some places the children are taught how to sit still and look inside. The purpose of a mantra, like the rosary, is to assist the mind in slowing down thought. Without some technique to practice, often an ancient one, there can be no peace.
and now, after people lose their jobs and homes municipalities are making being homeless illegal. living in your car, often the only thing they still have = arrests and fines. Send them down the road and make them someone else's problem. Human kindness overflowing and I think its going to rain today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9Fn8VhkK5g
James, your opening phrase is both subtle and profound, “Since the beginning of man…” A vast difference from “Since the beginning of time.” Maybe 14 billion years worth. We just bought a t-shirt from one of the subscribers here that says, “Nothing in evolution can account for the soul of man,” written by Charles Darwin’s colleague, Alfred Russel Wallace. The website you might find worthwhile is arn.org. There is a meeting of an affiliated group that will be held in late July up your way at Gordon College in Wenham, MA: SCIENCE FAITH SYNERGY: Glorifying God and Serving the World https://network.asa3.org/mpage/ASA2026#plenaries
The young woman with the misspelled sign only solidifies the fact that she should NOT be skipping school to spend time protesting! Our kids are being led, like cows with a nose ring, into the bright light of “STUPID!” Keeping the masses ignorant only makes leading them astray that much easier. Our target should start with getting rid of the Dept. of Education, then requiring teachers to complete testing yearly to ensure they are qualified to teach a subject and NO MORE TENURE! If a teacher starts politically indoctrinating classes instead of teaching the criteria, they should be FIRED….no matter how long they have been teaching! These school classes are not entitled “A Teacher’s Perspective”…..of History, Math, English or Science. In order to get our country back, we have to correct the damage that has been done where it started….with educating our youth! Get rid of the indoctrinating teachers by monitoring classes!
Sticky wicket there. Tenure,necessary to preserve academic freedom which is subject to challenge after leadership change. What we had where I worked was tenure renewed every 7 yrs. Allows justifiable challenge to poor performance.
Not to worry this will all be replaced with Artificial Intelligence soon along with about half of everyone else's jobs. Or, so they say. May be another tech bubble about to pop.
And perverted idealogs! Pet sat for a Univ librarian. Her VW was covered with patches Declaring her truths and oppositions! The Univ was a hotbed of radicals.
I read your post. Twice. I agree with you completely. What I can't help is thinking about my peers that I have met through employment. Their spouses. I'm talking well-off, successful people, my age and older (54). They went through the same public education that I did. Even college (RN). Yet they lean as left as far as you can from right without just falling over. I suppose once the schools are done with the children, the media takes over in adulthood if allowed. My friends watch their "credible" news outlets. CNN, msnbc-or whatever it is now. They get their laughs from the greats...you know, Colbert, Kimmel. If the schools could get cleaned up, that's still half the battle.
The Senate refuses to pass the Save America Act by ditching the Filibuster, which the Democrats say they will ditch it when they take back the Senate. Just like Iran, if they say they will nuke Israel and America, Believe Them!
I have yet to see the GOP govern in Congress as if they were trying to save America. They have the keen ability to move the football forward one yard, while allowing the Democrats to move it backwards five yards—they call it negotiations. 🙄
I have a signed copy of Ted Cruz’s Book “A Time for Truth” (2015) where he says in the introduction, “Telling the truth in Washington, D.C., is a radical act. And it earns you the enmity of career politicians in both parties…when you expose the fact that elected officials are misleading the voters who elected them—you pay a price…when you admit publicly that many of those in your own party are complicit in the problem, well, that’s when the long knives come out.” He was then target by GOP leadership to stop corporate funding for him, because he stood against the status quo.
That is corruption. Period! But it continues today when Thune and the other Senators refuse to pass the Save America Act—it’s more about self-preservation than American preservation. We are fighting a battle on two fronts, Democrats and Republicans. That my friends is the truth.
So many truisms! Thank heavens a few are heartening.
The children learning on the basis of what they observe. And no place else to go!
Ice! Maryland has the answer. Using tax moneys, they are setting up a commission to see immigrants (IAs) rights are respected and delivered. NO ICE! ¡
Follow that with the CA election affairs. Do we need Anything further to prove the Save Act is vital?
Last night listened to a reading (?) of Sen Kennedy questioning HRC at a hearing. Priceless! He is under appreciated! Then there was the Thought Leaders interview with an AI expert. He noted, among other things AI will be determining what's heard and deciding policy.
Off to readying for another banner week of many progresses. Thanking my lucky stars for our leadership and participants here! A source for sanity and purpose.
Interestingly, the Woke-Broke graph shown is identical to the FAFO graph, as briefly illustrated below. My concern is that so many of us have grown so numb and complacent wrt the corruption and theft of our nation that the FO may never make its appearance.
"if only we had a word for this" made me laugh reminded me of a 20ish Texan relative who in saying goodbye to a friend and me said something like "I hope yourguysez have a good day"
actually that may be my relative with the "Smarter then Trump" sign.
All great, thank you and bravo to the Nobel prize winning climate truthers.
When we first arrived in New Jersey after graduating college in the 1970s, we visited the Red Oak Diner and was asked "What would yous guys like?" Good thing we had nothing in our mouths or we would have spewed food in uncontainable laughter.
The whole story told in the 3 panel stolen votes/rino knife in the back one

Also faculty tenure at unis need to be reassessed. Held by too many incompetents.
Eliminate tenure completely….especially universities!
Sticky wicket there. Tenure,necessary to preserve academic freedom which is subject to challenge after leadership change. What we had where I worked was tenure renewed every 7 yrs. Allows justifiable challenge to poor performance.
Speaking of faculties, it is bothersome how age makes retaining non-tenured faculties difficult.
