My Daddy's Common Sense

EDUCATION, GOOD OR BAD?????

Hey folks, I happen to be watching “Gunsmoke” last night and the moral of the story was about education. It was about a father back in those days that did not see the benefit of learning from a book; but, felt practical experience on the farm was all that a kid might ever need. In the end, he did realize how it might help to have book learning along with the practical stuff. It brought out the point that the “Farmer’s Almanac” would help his crop production. It got me to thinking about how our education system might or is failing so many kids of today. Now, I’m no wizard as all can note from my writings; but, I can at least write. It came to me that we just might need to change how we educate the children of today to give them what they will need to be successful in our world of the future.

Now, having said that, I feel we are not giving the children of today a fair shot as we are not concentrating on reading, writing and rhematic! A large percentage are not taught critical thinking in higher ed and seem to want to yell down speakers instead of listening and making a thoughtful decision about the topic. It seems that the schools themselves have become basins of liberalism where the educators themselves have been “brain washed” into thinking social situations are more important than actual hard-core subjects. It is fine and they certainly need exposure to the LBGTQ world or the Trans world, etc. but come on folks, “DRAG QUEEN” shows for elementary school kids? Something is “DEAD WRONG” with this kind of thinking. It starts out early and continues all the way thru college. Most of the college students of today can’t think their way out of a paper sack. They are not smart enough to out think “their own ass if it turns on them”! I know this is true because the industry I happen to be in has a lot of younger people and most can’t find their ass with both hands and a flash lite!

It seems we have allowed the educational system to become rotten from the liberal policies of the left. How does it make any “COMMON SENSE” to shout down someone simply for stating their opinion which happens to be different from yours? I run into people on a daily basis that have opinions on a variety of ideas that are different from mine; but, I must be able to work thru those differences to complete the task at hand. That is what I call critical thinking; although, it is not a true definition. Sometimes it is evident from the start, or it may take a while to learn, that the person thinks differently from me. But, it is my job to stay calm and get the job done anyway.

We must turn this education thing around or we will fall behind the world in most all industries. Our system has turned from an educational into an indoctrination system and it is failing the needs of all industries. We have turned into the opposite of the “Gunsmoke” situation. We are trying to produce robots that think just as the “professor” thinks and he has never held a real job in the real world. It is a lot like a lot of our politicians in the world that want to tell us “How to” although they have never had to do it themselves. It is not really their fault as that is what our system has produced. Does the name Joe Biden come to mind? Well, it should as he is one of those politicians who has never had a real job in the public sector where he was required to produce benefits or he was fired. All he has ever done is work for the government. Just for clarification that is kind of what we are producing out of our colleges today.

This is the reason we have seen so many families choosing to “home school” their kids and why the enrollment in “Christian” schools has jumped as of late. The state collects taxes for education; but, does not produce a product that the parents can except, so they find a better mouse trap. This means that many are paying double to get their children educated and that is not what the system promised. So, we will only see more families abandon the system in the future and the educators will be out of work; but, only because the system failed them also. It is only ‘COMMON SENSE” that this will happen as the parents and employers only want a better educated public.

I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY—LIKE IT OR NOT!!!!!

Listening up now, as I have something that has been eating away at me for some time. And, I do not want to assume anything as we know what that does! But, the new polls that have surfaced in the last few days are of grave concern to me. Not so much for myself but for my child and grandchildren. I’m of the age that more than likely these polls or attitudes of the country will not affect me much. But for them and all you “whipper snappers”, it might make your life “HELL ON WHEELS”!

These polls show a huge decrease in the people who feel patriotic about this great country called America. Whether you realize it or not, we, Americans, are living in the greatest country to ever exist. We have untold freedoms, although some are trying to limit them. Please wake up and realize that if you do not become patriotic and stand up for the fight, the country will wither on the vine. I still get a tear in my eye when “OLD GLORY” goes marching by in a parade. It is a symbol of what I and many others served our time trying to preserve–the freedoms you have and don’t appreciate, and it makes me mad as hell. The price for all the freedoms you have today is the “blood, sweat n tears” of the men and women of the past that gave of their time energy and love for this country! And it is high time someone explained it to you. So, the next time you meet a veteran thank ‘um and ask them what you might do to repay the debt you owe. Yes, it is a debt; but, one you will never fully be able to repay no matter how hard you try.

It also came to light that many feel they no longer need or believe in religion. Let me tell you, I’ve never met anyone who ever met or served with a veteran in a “FOXHOLE” who did believe, and I mean really believe! When the chips are down, and it comes down to the time for nut cutting, somehow most will fall to their knees and ask for his grace. I know because I have been to that point several times in my life and believe you me it will bring you to your knees if you have the strength to kneel. It breaks my heart to realize that so many may not believe in the “ALL MIGHTY”! Just stop and think of the miracle of life and how it came to be that you are here on earth! Then just thank the “GOOD LORD” that he placed you here in America! It makes me no better in “HIS” eyes, but I have read the book from cover to cover. If you do so, you will recognize times in the book that remind you of times in your life where HE has delivered you from evil and hard times while you were oblivious to the fact. The recent revivals at some of the colleges are wonderful events and is lifting my spirits some; but, we need a complete Christian reawakening in this country.

Now, to the last point, and I will crawl down off my soap box! The polls show that many are abstaining from marriage and raising a family. Let me once again tell you youngsters that there is nothing more satisfying than finding the love of your life and bearing forth children from that love. Believe me I know as I speak from personal knowledge on the subject. I have been blessed by “HIM” WITH A WONDERFUL WIFE OF 48 YEARS, A WONDERFUL DAUGHTER, A GOOD CHRISTIAN SON-IN-LAW, AND MY TWO ROWDY GRAND KIDS! And they are the “APPLE OF MY EYE”! HERE IS HOPING THAT THIS MIGHT SPUR YOU INTO THINKING DIFFERENTLY ABOUT YOUR LIFE AND THE CONTRIBUTION TO THIS GREAT NATION, “ONE NATION UNDER GOD”!

And never let anyone at any time convince you otherwise about how great this country has been, is, and will be in the future if we simply put forth the effort and turn to GOD always. After all it has brought us thru some tough times and it only makes “COMMON SENSE” to continue to march forward praising HIM all the way!

WHERE’S ALL THE LOOT GOING?????

That should be the question before any more funds or equipment are released to Ukraine! We do know one thing for sure: The President of Ukraine was the same guy that all the media was calling President of a corrupt government when he and Trump had their phone call. All, and I mean all, the democrat support staff, the mainstream media, were yelling as loud as they could that Trump was doing business with the corrupt President Zelensky and asking him to find dirt on the democrat candidate. Now all of a sudden, this same President, according to the media, is such a hero; and we, the United States citizens, should send him over 100 billions of dollars of our tax dollars in equipment and cash.

Kind of like send Al Capone money back during probation period and thinking he would do good deeds with those funds. I know, everyone will holler that Capone was a crook and gangster. Well, open your eyes; so is this Zelensky guy! That is according to all the media when he and Trump had their conversation. But it seems, he is now the media’s new “GOLDEN BOY” that they want to use. Nothing to see here–so move on they say. It is funny, or sickening, how they speak out of both sides of their mouths.

There should be an in-depth investigation as to where all the funds are being spent before he is given any more funds. If they look hard enough, I’ll bet they will find that a large portion of the funds are directed to a private account under his control. Remember, “TIGERS DO NOT CHANGE THEIR STRIPES”; so, I’m betting he hasn’t changed his stripes either! It is a shame; but for some reason, Biden wants to send him unlimited funds! Do you think it might have something to do with the funds Biden’s son was paid for his time on the board of the gas company. As for my own self, I feel the Biden Criminal Network may be the beneficiaries of some of those funds or at least it is a payback.

It would not be a surprise to find there is a lot of corruption in the funds you are sending to a corrupt person. As mentioned, you can certainly go back to the film for Trump having those calls and verify that the media was saying the whole country of Ukraine was corrupt. The media reported at the time that Ukraine was one of the most corrupt countries in the world. I guess it is only COMMON SENSE to realize that a corrupt county has to have a corrupt leader.

So, here we are still sending billions of dollars to what the media knows to be a corrupt leader and country and expecting good to come of it. What is that old saying about the definition of insanity? I for one think the people in charge of sending all these funds just might be insane or there is more corruption than ever thought. With all the electronic info we have in today’s world, I’m sure if the media wanted to know, then it would be an easy task. The media is simply so corrupt that they will use a double standard when certain people or subjects are brought up.

The media in this country has to look the other way on so many subjects and it should cause them sleepless nights. These other countries of which we spoke and of which the media speaks are not the only ones which are corrupt. The media here in the USA needs to cleaned out as they have become complicit in the corruption in this country. It is a shame, and it has ruined a fine profession. It only makes COMMON SENSE to question where you get your information in today’s world.

HAS THIS ADMINISTRATION GONE CRAZY, OR WHAT???

Well, this is the question of the day! I really feel the country has lost its way under Biden! He can’t seem to get a grasp on all the problems; and he can’t seem to tell the truth! He has completely lost touch with the country and cannot furnish the leadership needed to “right the ship” and set sail on a new course.

The border crisis is going from bad to worse under his leadership. He hasn’t been to the border to observe the crisis and he has no representatives there to advise on the crisis. He seems to think it will disappear if he simply ignores the whole deal. The powers to be, along with the help of the media, keep discussing Title 42 as though it’s some type of magic cure. They are simply using it as a shield to hide behind, or to keep from discussing the real problem. It is what they always do. They show you a shiny object on one hand while hiding the truth behind their back with the other hand. Simply line the border with the military and fire a few shots and turn everyone away. No “ifs, ands, or buts, no one allowed to cross”! In short order, the flow will be stopped. Some say some will die and that is true; but, there were some 900 killed trying to cross this last year. If only 8 or10 are shot, then the rest will turn tail n run! The cartel are war combatants; so, does it really matter? It is time for Americans to stand up for Americans and improve our country and the opportunity to find decent jobs and houses for our people. High time to worry about our folks and not folks in faraway lands where most of the residents hate us!

It is also time to reverse the “satanism in our schools”! What has happened in our schools is nothing more than horrible. We are promoting “drag queens” and “transism” in our schools which has a direct tie to the removal of God and his “TEN COMMANDMENTS” AND A TIE TO “SATANISM”! Boy did Madeline O’Hare make a mess of our schools. We need to put prayer back in our classrooms and teach the “TEN” in order to see an improvement. Remember we have the right to “freedom of religion” not the right of freedom of religion. Although, if you do not want to pray, you should not be forced to do so. Remember, “HE” gave us free will to choose and choose we must. We need to get back to teaching discipline, work ethic and reading, writing and ‘rithmatic! It did wonders for me! HAHA!

I prayed for years every night for the “GOOD LORD” to intervene in the killing of the most innocent and sure enough HE did so. I admit it took years; but, that is a lesson in itself. HAVE FAITH n KEEP PRAYING as HE will hear and answer sooner or later. HE will do so on his schedule not on yours. It took some time; but, “HE GOT-ER DONE”! I now pray every night for HIM to restore common sense and to help us solve our border crisis. Laugh if you will; but, I know HE is working on those things as well.

Always remember, GOD makes no mistakes; but, HE “does work in mysterious ways”. I have always believed in the power of prayer and will continue to pray for our country and would love to have you join me in that effort. This blog is meant to jog you into trying to use the “COMMON SENSE” HE gave you to help solve your problems. Therefore, it only makes good old “COMMON SENSE” to use it and to pray for the improvement of our country. Let me slip in one more fact for you to consider. America is the best n last hope for our freedoms. So, if she fails, you have nowhere to turn to. So do us all a favor, and tonight when you “LAY ME DOWN TO REST”, please pray for her to survive!

I will stop for now. But, there is more to cover; so, stay tuned for more things to ask Him to help put our country on the straight and narrow!

DEMOCRATS DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR HAVE COMMON SENSE!!!!!

This election thing for the voter should be an easy fix if the Democrats could understand or if they had any COMMON SENSE! All the yester years of elections ran pretty smoothly until around the time Obama was elected; and, since then, every election has had problems. Back then, we would know the night of the election or the day after who had won! Exception being the Bush/Gore contest! And probably, some way before my time. Counting the votes should not take days n days unless the system is designed to make it so! IMHO, the Democrats have pushed this mail-in ballet thing because it gives them time to figure out how many votes they need to dump in for a victory! They cheated in the election between Trump/Hillary but realized afterward that they did not cheat enough. That is why they got so mad and hated Trump to the “HILT”! THEY CHEATED AND STILL FAILED!!! That is when all this mail-in crap started “BIGLY”!

It is so simple to fix the system, but the democrats want a second shot at the brass ring when they realize they are losing. They no longer accept it when the American public ignores them. All we, as a country, need to do is to return to “one voter, one vote” and have that vote cast upon you showing up with a picture ID within the allotted time period and vote. Hell, it’s not hard as even I do it! The democrats seem to want to remove any “self-responsibility” from the system. They have slowly removed it from the crime crisis; so, it should have been expected. If a person does not care enough to get off their lazy duff and go vote, then so be it! If I had gone to the World Series Games and told them, I had mailed in my ticket what do you suppose my seat might have been? I can tell you! My seat would have been out in the parking lot listening to the game on the radio in my truck. This all makes good COMMON SENSE; but, Democrats will argue even when they know they are wrong on any issue.

If the system were to be cleaned up whereas you simply carry your ID and go vote, the numbers of voters, true voters, would most probably go up. This mail in stuff has got to be eliminated for the sake of the voting right itself! People are starting to distrust the system because of all the fraud that has happened. I know, the democrats will holler that there has been no fraud, but I know better. Yet, Hillary cried that the election was stolen from her, no dems jumped on her for questioning it. Same with Stacy! You will never control all fraud, but the mail-in system has been a mistake. So, let’s all get together and change it back! If you are a true American, then you should want true n fair elections and “let the best man win”! Oops, I stepped on the democrats toes again! First by wanting fair elections and then with that horrible word “man”. The only way my statement could have been worse was to have used the wrong pronoun. I was never good at pronouns just ask Mrs. Jackson, my English teacher in the 6th grade.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that I want true and fair elections for everyone and feel it should go back to how it always worked in the past. Is it to much to ask that the states use “COMMON SENSE” when deciding how to run elections? I really don’t see a problem if they will do so but then I’m just an “old white bastage” wishing for better times.

Don’t forget to grab you picture ID and go vote. It is your right that has been paid for by sweat-n-blood and it only makes really good “COMMON SENSE” to exercise that right. What’s that old saying, “if you don’t use it, you might just lose it”!

GOD, COUNTRY, FAMILY AND GUNS!!!

THIS PERSON SEEMS TO THINK THEY HAVE FIGURED OUT THE “INTENT OF THE FOUNDERS” WHEN THEY INCLUDED THE 2ND AMENDMENT! HIS IDEA IS THE FOUNDERS DID NOT MEAN FOR THE POPULACE TO BE ARMED BUT MY IDEA IS JUST THE OPPOSITE. WHERE WOULD AMERICA BE TODAY IF THE CITIZENS WERE NOT ARMED THROUGH OUT THE COUNTRYSIDE WHEN THE BRITS CAME A CALLING? PROBABLY SIPPING TEA/CRUMPETS, I SUPPOSE! MOST ALL THE MASS SHOOTINGS HAVE STARTED UP IN THE LAST 20 OR SO YEARS SO THE QUESTION IS WHAT CAUSED THEM TO START IN THE FIRST PLACE? WE AS YOUNGSTERS, HAD GUN RACKS IN OUR TRUCKS AND ALL IF NOT MOST CARRIED LONG GUNS AND SHOTGUNS. AND A LOT OF THE LONG GUNS WERE SEMI-AUTO RIFLES SO THAT HASN’T CHANGED. IMHO, IF A STUDY WERE TO BE DONE, WE MIGHT FIND THAT THE START OF MASS SHOOTINGS MIGHT HAVE STARTED WHEN GOD/PRAYER/PLEDGE WERE BASICALLY REMOVED FROM THE CLASSROOMS. MAYBE WE OUGHT TO TRY PUTTING THESE THINGS BACK SO AS TO TEACH RESPECT FOR ONE ANOTHER, THE TEACHER, THE PRINCIPAL. AND, THE RESPECT FOR LIFE ITSELF. WE GIVE CHILDREN MIXED MESSAGES WHEN WE TEACH THEM IT IS OK TO “MURDER THE MOST INNOCENT” AND THAT ALONG WITH OTHER SOCIETAL CHANGES REMOVES THE RESPECT FOR LIFE COMPLETELY! IF SO, THEN THE WAY WE ARE RAISING COULD BE THE CULPRIT! SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. IT CERTAINLY WOULD BE A LESS EXPENSIVE FIX IF IT TURNS OUT TO BE THE PROBLEM. I FOR ONE AM OF THE OPINION THAT IT IS MY RIGHT TO OWN RIFLES OF MY CHOOSING AND SINCE THE SEMI-AUTO WAS AROUND BEFORE THE MASS SHOOTINGS “COMMON SENSE” WOULD TELL ME IT IS NOT THE PROBLEM.

IT MAKES COMMON SENSE FOR THE PEOPLE TO BE ARMED SO AS TO DEFEND THEMSELVES IN THESE CRAZY TIMES. CRAZY DOESN’T QUITE COVER ALL THE THINGS GOING ON IN THIS WORLD! THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TRYING TO TELL YOU THAT MEN CAN GET PREGNANT! SHOUT ALL YOU WANT BUT THAT RIGHT THERE IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! ALONG WITH BEIJING BIDEN TRYING TO SELL AMERICA TO CHINA WHILE HIS SON IS DOING THE “BANG BANG” WITH HIS NEW “FANG, FANG”! THE WORLD IS SEEING AN AMERICA WITHOUT BORDER SECURITY; AND, IT IS AN INVASION! SO, YOU BETTER ARM UP IF YOU AREN’T ALREADY BECAUSE IT WILL BE UP TO YOU TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY!
