I hope John Fetterman resigns from the Senate and gets the help he needs. No job is worth the risk that you won’t be there for your kids as they grow up.

Still feeling pretty rough. Though I seem to be a bit calmer than I was yesterday.

Someone recently asked me how they could help given my current rough state of mind.

Pray.

Pray that I can secure a few displays for The Project. Because no matter what is going on in my life. Serving the Lord is the best way to help. It allows me to focus on following Christ and I can turn what I’m doing into an active prayer.

Pray that p…

"In my view, one of the lessons of Bernie and AOC running around is damn, that is refreshing to see integrity of conviction." Many voters feel the same way.

Another game that has more or less passed Jamie Gittens by. Dortmund’s season seems to be ending on a high, but the English winger has played a very smart part in it. Maybe he’s just out of form or is simply struggling against defences that now know what he’s capable of.

Just to hammer home the point, the man that came on to replace Gittens - Adeyemi - scores an incredible individual goal. Since Kovac arrived at Dortmund the latter has completely outshone the former.

Had a really fun chat with Jeremy Workman about his new indie documentary, SECRET MALL APARTMENT. It's in theaters now, maybe playing near you! If it is, I highly recommend checking it out.

I don’t get the capitalist view. Capitalists don’t say to make your own something, they offer to sell you a something.

Distributists might tell you to make your own something, but in an encouraging manner and probably with some helpful instruction.

Monarchy: let them eat cake

Apolitical: there is cake

Moderate: I like cake

Conservative: nobody touch the cake

I'd be lying if I said that the militant, hypermasculine style in which this is written totally resonates with me. I sometimes wear a bow tie and drink tea, after all. But it would be a shame to overlook this really outstanding advice just because one prefers or usually affects a more genteel sensibility.

I’d also be lying if I said that …

Is Social Media This Generation's Heroin?

Because what you’re saying is correct, the counterbalance - a solid education - is essential. However, the fact that self-serving power mongers hijacked our schools seems to be ignored when you should be shouting about it as it was the antidote to people becoming prey. You can hear teacher whistleblowers at whitechalkcrime.com who are the few who aren’t afraid to expose the intellectual version of Harvey Weinstein we’ve been dealing with as teachers - forcing us to go along with stupidity. Or r…

A way to prepare students for life with the issues of constant social media bombardment is through social and emotional learning or SEL. As a concept, this is not new, but its level of implementation varies. The sell to parents is that their kids do demonstrably better on grades and achievement tests.

Often the STEM movement butts up against SEL and crowds it out. The result over time will be to produce a bunch of graduates capable of jobs that AI will take over but who are unable to function in society and challenging interpersonal situations. The default behavior then becomes fantasy football or horse racing and treating elections as entertainment.
