Happy Father’s Day 2026

-
Happy Father’s Day to all those men who are making the real effort to provide love, guidance and sustenance to their family!
-

Father’s have been a key component of ‘the family unit’ for thousands of years. Early societies recognized the importance of family because children are highly dependent for many years and the survival of the society depended on Father’s providing and protecting.
-
Our society’s recent history is departing from that time-proven model and our society and children are paying a high price for that neglect.
-
Government 'child care' displacing The Family

-
https://thefederalist.com/2019/02/28/children-dont-need-day-care-need-mothers/
-
“The disciples of Hillary’s “It takes a Village” (Liberals, Progressives and Socialists) march on with programs to enable and reward the isolation of fathers from mothers and mothers from their children; scrapping and marginalizing the institution of family and family obligations, responsibilities and rewards.
-
It is indeed sad that our socialistic government programs of dependency, housing, welfare, and school systems have failed so many of our people; however, more socialism and the annihilation of the family unit and culture will only cause more damage and chaos and failure.”
-
Hopefully the values that built this great country will prevail and grow.

Good News: Liberal Prosecutors Exiting

Roanoke Times, 6-21-2026, Pg 1: An exodus of prosecutors, dozen vacancies
Cause: Pres. Trump!

The US Attorney’s office is full of liberal-lawyers appointed by 8-years of Obama and 4-years of Biden.
Don’t let the door hit you in the butt on the way out!

Pa. Supreme Court ruling curbs Philly district attorney, adds state attorney general oversight
https://www.newsfromthestates.com/article/pa-supreme-court-ruling-curbs-philly-district-attorney-adds-state-attorney-general
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court rebuked progressive Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner … on Tuesday, saying his office misled a court tasked with reviewing criminal convictions and sentences when it argued in favor of a new trial.
Future cases submitted by Krasner’s office under the Post Conviction Relief Act (PCRA) will be subject to the scrutiny of state Attorney General Dave Sunday, singling the office out for an additional layer of review not required in other counties.

Reflecting Pool Destructive Anarchists

-
Yet more destructive and divisive actions by those who hate America.
The Reflecting Pool ‘connects’ the Washington Monument to the Jefferson Monument and celebrates the founding fathers of our country.
We have some very politically-sick people in our country today.
-
-
In a statement on Truth Social Saturday night, Trump announced "many additional people" have been arrested after suspects "took some form of knife or blade, and put a 250-foot-long gash into the beautiful facade of what took so much work, competence, and money to build and complete."
The president also alleged suspects "poured corrosive and destructive chemicals" into the basin.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/former-olympian-among-charged-vandalizing-reflecting-pool-trump-vows-immediate-repairs-report
"… The Reflecting Pool was never so beautiful as it was just one week ago, even going back to 1922 when it opened. We are very proud of what we have done with this magnificent structure, and we will get it repaired, quickly, to an equal level of Beauty."

Juneteenth: Freedom Day

 -

Juneteenth is now a Federal Holiday in remembrance of the emancipation of the slaves at the end of the Civil War.
This date and its meaning has been celebrated for many years here in Franklin County, Virginia at the Booker T. Washington Memorial.

-
Juneteenth and the Freedom It Unleashed
https://townhall.com/columnists/ryanbomberger/2021/06/18/juneteenth-and-the-freedom-it-unleased-n2591180
“June 19th signified the nearly three-year delayed emancipation of 250,000 slaves in Texas who hadn’t yet received the news (even a month after the end of the civil war).
Juneteenth doesn’t belong to one group of people. It belongs to all Americans. It’s a testament to the unity of both black and white people who went to great lengths to break the chains of bondage. It can be a great reminder to the American public and the world how ……. a radical Republican named Abraham Lincoln altered the trajectory of a nation.”
-
-
Historical FootNote:  Legal slavery continued for 6 more months in 2 states, not ending until December 6th, 1965.  The emancipation proclamation only declared  slavery illegal in the states that seceded.  It took ratification of the 13th amendment to end it everywhere.

-
The key to continued improvement for all our people is Education and Skills and Jobs!

Nancy’s Attack Dog Swalwell Muzzled & Neutered

Do Democrat politicians have a thing about sex-abuse, or does it just seem that way?

D.Cal. Eric Swalwell Thought He Was Untouchable — Until He Wasn’t
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2026/04/18/eric-swalwell-sexual-assault-downfall-00871824
-
D.Cal. Swalwell has now been accused by multiple women of sexual assault; at least two others claim he harrassed them with unwanted come-ons and explicit photos. He faces criminal investigations into separate rape accusations in Manhattan and Los Angeles, and the Department of Justice also opened an investigation; he has denied all allegations of assault, though he has acknowledged “personal failings.” He withdrew from the governor’s race and resigned from Congress before his colleagues moved to expel him.
-
-
Last November, when Swalwell entered the race for governor of California, Politico wrote that his candidacy would test the power of a “national profile constructed through cable news hits, Trump bashing and social media saturation

The Iran FrameWork Signed

-
Trump and Iran’s president sign initial deal to end war, open Strait of Hormuz and ease sanctions
The interim agreement, signed late Wednesday, starts the clock on a 60-day negotiating window to resolve key issues around the future of Iran’s nuclear program.
https://www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/strait-hormuz-reopen-us-lift-iran-sanctions-14-point-deal-seeking-end-rcna350513
-
President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian have signed a memorandum of understanding, laying out terms for ending the war and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
-
Trump could be seen signing the memorandum late Wednesday at the Palace of Versailles in video published by French President Emmanuel Macron.
-
-
The Strait of Hormuz has officially been declared open following a U.S.-Iran peace deal. However, normal shipping traffic has not immediately resumed due to severe logistical backlogs, ongoing mine-sweeping operations, and extreme caution from maritime operators and insurers.

Peace Is At Hand – Maybe?

-
Politicians and pundits are coming out of the woodwork demanding to see every bit of detail in the US-Iran Peace DOU- NOW!.
-
Republicans are afraid the terms are Not hard enough on Iran.
-
The Democrats are catatonic over the prospect that for the first time in 47-years, since Carter’s Iran hostage crisis of 1979, we may be witnessing a massive change for peace and stability in the MiddleEast and history may be giving Trump The Credit.
-
Even FoxNews is hyper over not yet seeing the details of the agreement.
-
Trump keeps reminding Iran that the prospect of being ‘bombed back into the stone-age’ is still ‘on the table’. (Reflections of Curtis LeMay)
-
Trumps at the G7 where all our ‘friends’ now want Trump to immediately fix the Palestinian Problem and resolve the Russia-Ukraine War.
Interesting that the G7 and NATO countries are not engaging in these major issues.
Easier and less costly and less risk to sit in the bleachers and kibitz.

Trump Declares Iran Success

-
The White House statements today “indicate” that the Iran Campaign is over and Iran will:
· Not get in the way of the removal of all their highly-enriched uranium
· And will open the Straight of Harmos for toll-free passage
· And will not seek nuclear weapons.
· And will not attack 'others'
-
If valid – this is a historic achievement by the US Administration, US Military, Israel, friendly Middle-East countries and supportive others!
-
No thanks in order for the Democrats in DC nor their friends in the Media!
They have all fostered a hostile divisive 5th-collem effort to undermine administration efforts, in many cases worthy of charges of sedition. A pox be on all their houses!

Lynchburg Va Republicans Flash Back To Tea Party Days

-
Apparently, The Lynchburg GOP leadership flashed back to the ‘good-ole Tea Party days, utilizing a ‘Firehouse Primary’ to limit and bias voter participation and control the outcome with “manipulative operators”.
In stepped the RPV Republican Party of Virginia who thrashed the Primary and ousted those deemed responsible for the shenanigans and deactivated the local unit.
Unfortunately, a dozen years, ago this type of “activity” went unchecked in some districts for years.
Talk about being “disconnected from reality”! Do these people Not understand that the Democrats have taken over Virginia and that the Republican Party requires the best highest caliber Virginians to represent our party and all Virginians?
-
-
"Firehouse primary results ejected, Lynchburg GOP dissolved
https://roanoke.com/news/state-regional/government-politics/article_57144bdb-b973-5a33-8213-bdb20468896b.html
The Republican Party of Virginia’s central committee voted Saturday to throw out the results of the Lynchburg GOP’s firehouse primary, held on May 30, and to declare the local party defunct in response to how it handled the primary for the three at-large seats on council.
In a vote of 55-17 at a meeting in Fredericksburg, the State Central Committee of the RPV agreed to take the action based on its review of three appeals filed against how the Lynchburg Republican City Committee (LRCC) ran the firehouse primary.
The appeals alleged various types of malfeasance and impropriety during the firehouse primary process".
-
The RPV’s central committee, composed of nearly 80 members, is the governing body of the state party. It manages the party's affairs, sets bylaws, oversees elections, and rules on internal nomination disputes.
-
All current executive officers of the LRCC, except Steven Troxel, are banned from serving in a leadership position for the remainder of the current term, until the end of 2027.
-
Former City Councilman Jeff Helgeson was singled out for the most severe penalties based on how he campaigned for the team of Bratton, Misjuns and James “Trae” Watkins in the primary while serving on the purportedly neutral firehouse primary’s electoral board.
The central committee voted to formally censure Helgeson and bar him from all Republican offices, including LRCC membership, until the end of 2027.
-
The appeals committee then reconvened the following day with RPV Counsel Chris Marston to discuss and vote on remedies for the Lynchburg Republican Party.
Faraldi described the central committee’s ruling as “monumental” and “overwhelming.”
“In other words, 40-plus Republicans ruled that this firehouse process was indeed a dumpster fire and violated many party rules."
-
"It is about accountability," she (Beth White) said. "For years, Lynchburg Republicans have been dragged into controversy because of the actions of a select few. Those few have acted like they speak for the majority, but they do not."
-

The report also highlighted “irregular” provisional balloting procedures, voting by email, disenfranchisement of military members, voter intimidation, and improper submission of election forms.
(Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how'd you like the play?)

Education TrainWreck: Even California Educators Are Waking-up

-
Our nation’s competitors and adversaries have been pleased with the collapse in US educational competence since “the virus” consumed US society.
Not only did we let the ‘teachers unions’ destroy teaching & learning during the pandemic, but it has not been restored since!
In stark contrast are the religious-based schools that continued teaching during the pandemic with minimal medical issues and significant academic success.
At last, the teachers ‘who care’ are raising the teaching-learning issues impacting our students and our schools. If California can come out of the closet, so hopefully, can all our other schools. Hopefully better late than never.

California board of regents to review SAT/ACT testing ban after 1,400 professors warn of ‘severe’ math gaps
University of California faculty letter warned that eliminating standardized tests masked severe academic deficiencies in STEM students
https://www.foxnews.com/media/uc-system-review-standardized-testing-ban-after-1400-professors-warn-severe-math-gaps
-
The University of California (UC) announced Thursday that it is launching a comprehensive review of its standardized testing policy. The pivot follows a massive revolt by faculty members who warn they are being forced to re-teach middle school mathematics to incoming university students.
-
"The Board of Regents and University leadership take very seriously the critical issue of college preparedness, and the UC Academic Senate has proposed a comprehensive, data-driven review to support its recommendations to strengthen student readiness and success at UC," University of California President James B. Milliken said in a statement. "There are few things more important on our agenda."

Is Me.Sen.R. Susan Collins “LookIn Good”?

-
Susan Collins is an enigma and a master politician serving as Maine’s Republican US Senator since 1997.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Collins
-
One may think that because Maine is a place of outdoor independent individualism, that it would be loaded with Republicans, however, that’s Not the case.
Just as the same logic would apply to Vermont, however, both states have evolved into high-government-dependency and therefore Democrat influence.
-
For 29-years Collins has woven a web of politics that keeps getting her elected.
Much of the time voting against fellow Republicans in Congress and White House.
Trump’s recent vendetta against so called ‘RINO Republicans’, excluded wrath for Collins.
-
It will be interesting to watch Collin’s spar with Platner and his nemesis Bernie Sanders with their Communist Manifesto.
Might even import the Lenin statue from Seattle.

CopyRight Rules & Laws Run Through The AI Shredder

-
AI is now not only too big to fail, it’s too big to be constrained by patent and copyright rules and laws and ownership and attribution.
It’s somewhat like ‘eminent domain’ being used to take your real-property and evict you from your own home without compensation.
-
There were laws and rules governing use of someone else’s original written materials. This was bounded by the “fair use” rules that limited the amount of ‘direct quoted’ material one could use.
-
Fast forward to today’s AI ‘no rules, no limits, no bounds’ on what the AI ‘people’ are taking even without credits or footnotes --- just copy it and use it.

This ‘taking’ involves massive volumes targeting the library of congress, the files of the patent office, technical manuals, product specs, the universities dissertations and textbooks just for starters.
-
To add insult to injury AI companies are claiming “Fair Use” applies.
-
When did the CopyRight rules get changed, who changed them and where is all this documented?
-
Perhaps our race with the Chinese for AI dominance will override all the existing rules and laws in the ‘best interests of the country’ and be at the expense of those who originated and owned all this intellectual property!
But what will be the impacts on future invention and disclosure?

Maine Politics Goes Oyster Digging With Platner

It’s difficult to comprehend how a great state like Maine could promote a person with Graham Platner’s history and character and campaign statements to US Senate candidate.
Apparently, the voters looked at todays US Democrat Senators, like leader Chuck Schumer, and said ‘why not?’.
Based on this primary-election, it’s not clear who Maine voters will choose between Susan Collins and Platner.

Platner Wins Maine Senate Primary After a Turbulent Stretch of His Bid
Graham Platner has faced new scrutiny over his personal history, but his Democratic primary victory sets up a high-stakes race against Senator Susan Collins, a Republican.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/09/us/politics/maine-senate-platner-mills.html
-
Graham Platner, the progressive oyster farmer who toppled Maine’s political establishment even as a series of unsettling revelations about his past rattled his party, won the Democratic nomination for Senate on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press.
-
In a victory speech that took aim at Ms. Collins, Mr. Platner declared that his political movement would “take back our power” in November and subsequently enact a raft of progressive legislation, including codifying abortion rights and passing a single-payer health care system known as Medicare for all.
-
Mr. Platner dismissed the news reports about his past as immaterial to the coming general election.

U.S. Adds 115,000 Jobs With Solid Hiring Across Sectors
https://www.wsj.com/economy/jobs/april-jobs-report-unemployment-35aead9a

The U.S. job market blew past expectations again in April, buoyed by gains across industries including retail, transportation and warehousing, and healthcare. The results were a sign that the labor market remained resilient so far in the face of the Iran war.
The numbers
The American economy added 115,000 jobs in April, the Labor Department said Friday, far exceeding expectations.
That was down from a net gain of 185,000 in March. But it was much better than the 55,000 jobs that analysts polled by The Wall Street Journal had expected to see for April.

AGW Story Imploding

U.N. climate forecast shelved as ‘implausible’ has been central to the left’s arguments for years
Impossible end-of-world scenario was mischaracterized as the likely outcome
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/jun/4/un-climate-forecast-shelved-implausible-central-lefts-arguments-years/
The climate charade went like this: Scientists conjured worst-case, doomsday scenarios and used them to paint vivid pictures of melting polar ice caps, rising sea levels and flood-prone oceanfront property in Ohio.
-
With help from allies in the media, this far-fetched, climate-fear porn was mischaracterized as the likely result if the world continued “business as usual” in its use of natural resources for energy production.
-
This strategy to intentionally frighten people was used to promote leftist policy goals at the local, state and federal levels. It has also been the basis for dangerous climate litigation that now threatens to undermine the entire American economy.
-
Yet it was never true, and it all came from the United Nations.

Cars Now UnAffordable

-
Cars were once the centerpiece of US economy — “See USA in a Chevrolet!”
-
Our family first new US car was a 1954 Chevy for $1600.
My first new GI German car was a 1962 VW Bug for $1250 (5,000 Dmarks)!
Today’s US car average is $50,000, more than twice the cost of my first new
home in 1965!
Today’s US used cars average cost: $26,000!
And US cars are big and heavy and continue to be gas-hogs!
And US customers are Not Yet Ready to buy Small EVs!
-
Prognosis: The next US economic down-turn will be very painful!
