Palestinian Protests Reveal The Ignorance of American Students

The news cycle has been filled with stories about the Palestinian protests on college campuses for the past couple of weeks and rightfully so. The matter is much bigger than just one grievance or one group. There’s so much to unpack and discussion on this issue can be approached from many different angles. For this week, I’d like to view it from the perspective of why so many American students are blindly supporting a group they know so little about.

As always, it is difficult to receive an honest assessment of the political state of affairs in our country because the media is so blatantly biased. On nearly every issue, the mainstream media aligns with the side that opposes America. This has been occurring for decades, but the fervor for which they support anything anti-American has greatly accelerated in the last few years under the Biden administration. Therefore, it is incumbent upon sane adults to protect and educate our children with truth.

It’s not just a biased media that’s the problem – it’s also the fact that the news has become so fragmented with people, particularly young adults, receiving it from a variety of unreliable sources, like Facebook and Instagram. The dissolution of the nuclear family only adds to the problem. There are single mothers working several jobs to support their children, parents who are together but are both in the workforce, or children who are raised by relatives where the primary focus may not be on the child.

Whatever the reason, many children have not been instilled with proper values, nor have they had honest conversations about what’s occurring in the world today. This has led to a severe deficit in principles that guide a young person through both good and tumultuous times. Instead of having a moral compass, they latch onto whatever feels good or whatever makes them feel accepted. Want some proof? Watch this video and try not to cringe. The student in the video, who is currently attending an Ivy League University admits that she doesn’t know exactly why she’s protesting and looks to another student for an answer who also doesn’t have a clue.

Unfortunately, many of the students standing side by side with pro-Palestinian protesters are unaware of what they are chanting for. They are unwittingly supporting the obliteration of an allied nation – Israel. More importantly, however, they are supporting anti-Americanism as they stand by as our flag is burned and, in some instances, protesters scream, “Death to America.” The most ironic thing I’ve seen are the ‘Queers for Palestine’ signs, that demonstrate the ignorance of many of these students. In that country, you’re persecuted or killed for your sexual preferences. That is the truth. That is what our students need to be educated on.

Whether you are a parent, guardian, relative, or friend to a child or young adult, you should speak up. It is critical to teach them the founding principles of this great nation, as they are obviously not doing this in most schools across the board, and we must give them the courage to defend the ideals that give freedoms not found in any other country on this planet. They must be equipped with moral decency to withstand the inculcation of hatred that is constantly being shoved down their throats.

Being a parent is difficult today. We live in a fast-paced, complex society that cherishes instant gratification. We must start from when they are young, and we must be present, and I mean really present for them. There’s nothing more important than our children; they are our descendants, the continuation of humanity, so we need to reassess our priorities and focus on them.

The best we can do is to be honest with them and love them but loving them does not mean buying them a gaming system or letting them do whatever they want without consequences because we want to be their friend rather than their parent. Loving them means discipline and always being honest with them, even when the truth hurts. We are all fallible and will make many mistakes as parents and that’s okay, but if we give them the most valuable thing we have – our time, attention, and the truth – then we form a protective barrier that shields them from the barrage of lies and deceit that constantly get thrown their way.

Rant or Rave Wednesday

Can the Republicans Stop the Infighting For the Upcoming Election?

This week is not a rave, but it’s not a rant either – it’s more like a plea. Can the Republicans unify for the good of the citizens of the United States? Can they coalesce around sound policies and honest politicians? Can they put their political aspirations aside and function for the benefit of America and Her people?

There are too many self-serving Republicans. At times, it’s difficult to differentiate between a Democrat and a Republican. Members of Congress need to be reminded that they are there to serve, not enrich themselves or obtain notoriety. Party affiliation is becoming irrelevant. Watch what the politician does, rather than what they say or promise.

Let’s be honest – our country is on a sharp decline – the economy is tanking, international relations are compromised, and our border is nonexistent with millions of people pouring across that the taxpayer is forced to finance and support. Crime is rampant, and the Biden administration continues to perpetuate the lie that everything is just fine.

Now is the time to set aside any petty differences or conflicts and unite under an agenda that serves the will of the people. Agree to close the border and enforce immigration laws. Agree to utilize America’s plentiful natural gas resources and become energy independent again, allowing gas prices and utility bills to decrease. Agree to allow small businesses to operate freely with fewer regulations and more policies that promote innovation. Agree to stop funding schools that fuel anti-Americanism instead of fostering critical thinking and ingenuity. Agree to devise a realistic plan to remove illegal aliens, particularly those who have committed crimes.

Recently, Trump met with Governor DeSantis, and that’s a good start. They had a productive meeting that will assist Trump with his fundraising efforts. Adding DeSantis donors to the Trump Campaign is a necessary step to help win this election. The Democratic Party has an endless number of wealthy donors that would like to continue to ‘fundamentally change’ our great nation to one that serves the elite rather than the ordinary, hard-working American.

Something really frustrating to witness right now is the Republicans fighting over Speaker Johnson, proclaiming that he needs to be replaced. My eyes are rolling and I’m breathing an exasperated sigh. Yes, some of the grievances are valid, but the consequence could result in a Hakeem Jeffries’ speakership. We are walking a tightrope, and we need to think longterm. The one thing the Democrats always get right is that they stick together. Let’s not elect Republicans for the sake of the ‘R,’ (think Mith McConnell) but rather let’s elect the person who has a record of being a leader for regular people, particularly outsiders. This is why primary voting is essential.

The citizens of this country deserve better than what we are getting now, and we can start with the truth – the truth behind the Biden Family scheme to enrich themselves, the truth behind the war in Ukraine, the truth about the trajectory of the economy, and most importantly, the truth about the value of what it means to be an American citizen.

This moment calls for bold, fearless, and strong leadership. Whether you like his personality or not – Trump fits that description. I cannot think of any other man or woman that could have endured the full wrath and power of the United States government, or what Trump refers to as the swamp. We must stop pretending that leftists and others high in power are not using every means necessary to eliminate President Trump. They will do anything, legal or not, to accomplish this goal. They created a fake Russian collusion story that usurped years of his presidency, they impeached him twice under ridiculous allegations. They have falsely labeled Jan 6^th and Trump supporters as insurrectionists and have jailed many of them without due process. Oh, and let’s not forget the ludicrous cases inept prosecutors are usurping Trump’s campaign time with. This does not exemplify the “democracy” that they scream about ad nauseam.

In order to restore our great nation, the best and brightest in the political arena need to align with President Trump to get us out of the mess we are in now. Vote in primaries and elect congressmen and women who will take their jobs seriously and not fall prey to the swamp. America is and has always been a beacon of hope and freedom. The world needs a strong America. We must prevail.

Media Manipulation in Attempted Maryland School Shooting

Last week, a teenager in Maryland, Alex Ye, was arrested for planning and describing her intentions of a double school shooting in a lengthy manifesto. From Columbine to today, the amount of school shootings in this country has reached an alarming number, particularly in recent years – a tragedy that is becoming embedded in American culture.

The left will scream about gun laws, but they are generally stricter now than they were in 1999, yet we see this surge. In my opinion, these shootings have to do with the focus on oneself, largely because of a decline in faith and the loss of empathy for life. We, as a society, have become so focused on our feelings that we have lost any real connection to others. Video games, isolation from social media, and news outlets have all contributed to this desensitization. This is a complex and detailed conversation, but for this article, I would like to focus on something different.

Alex Ye, a biological female, is an 18-year-old high school student who has a history of mental illness. She has had several involuntary hospital stays, and during her latest, she shared her manifesto with another patient. Ye’s internet search history, pictures she drew, and other texts corroborated her manifesto. She was arrested last Wednesday and charged with threats of mass violence. Thank God, the proper steps were taken, and her dream of mass murder was prevented, but what is infuriating is the reporting on this individual.

To keep an informed public and have a cohesive society that functions properly, we must have an honest and free press – there’s a reason the founding fathers put this in the very first amendment of the Bill of Rights. My readers know this hasn’t been the case for a long time. In this article, I wanted to focus on the shooter, but after researching, my focus shifted to the media coverage of her. The concerted effort to hide or minimize the fact that she is trans is, despite the media’s best efforts, obvious to anyone who digs a little. It is important to point out that they, along with the courts, were certain to use Andrea Ye’s correct pronouns. Thank goodness!

Media Manipulation

An NBC news article made no mention of the essential detail that she was trans. It is kind of an important fact NBC, don’t you think? The fact that she was trans made headlines in only a few conservative media outlets. In some egregious cases, no mention was made of this in the entire coverage, like the NBC article I linked – a perfect illustration of media manipulation. I found this fascinating and disturbing. If you want to prevent tragedies like this, you need to provide the public with all the relevant facts.

It’s disgusting how the media cherry-picks which shootings to delve into and which ones to practically ignore. They are all tragic. Here, the violence was thankfully prevented, but what about the Nashville shooter from last year? Audrey Hale, a trans individual, burst into a Christian school and brutally murdered 3 young children and 3 adults. The 28-year-old woman previously attended this school and specifically targeted it in her murderous rage.

A concerted effort to hide Hale’s manifesto ensued after the tragic killings. Leaked excerpts from her documents show her disdain for individuals she believed had “white privilege,” yet the entire manifesto has still not been released.

Why hide this? Because it did not fit the narrative. Rest assured if it was a White Christian male who committed a mass shooting, these identifying characteristics would be in every single headline and regurgitated ad nauseam, and the manifesto would be meticulously scrutinized. To bolster this point, please watch this short clip of Anne Coulter on Bill Maher’s show. They are discussing the Kansas City Super Bowl Parade shooting. Before the identities of the shooters are released, Coulter asserts that she knows the shooters are not white. At the point of this clip, the identities of the shooters are unknown. Lo and behold, Ann Coulter wound up being correct.

Folks, it’s very simple. The media serves the people. They are our safeguards against a tyrannical government. Their job is to expose those in power, regardless of their political affiliation. This is crucial for the health and existence of our republic. Unfortunately, we are so far removed from this. Right now, we have too many outlets that are simply an extension of the government – that’s called state-run media, and it is in line with the communist Chinese and the authoritarian Russian governments. The media is in dire need of self-reflection – for the dignity of the profession, but more so for the general public. People need to be informed by facts, not fabrications. The people need to demand an honest press that has an unwavering commitment to truth.
