Incorrigible.

The extent to which “journalists” have pulled out all the stops to misrepresent Trump and his positions — and in some cases are even bragging about it and encouraging others to do the same — kind of illustrates why Trump’s here to begin with.

I wonder if it'll make the TV show?

Patrick's dreadlock shamer at SFSU has...succeeded spectacularly in advancing race relations:

According to CBS San Francisco, school administrators are in the early stages of their plan to create living communities tailored specifically to African American students, which is apparently a response to demands from the Black Student Union for increased inclusivity, as well as the growing influence of the Black Lives Matter movement on college campuses.

Hilarious mostly because no hoomans or dawgs were harmed. And no wild fires set.

I remember Reginald Denny, too. Yes, kids, that's right, I'm old as dirt.

More on the Dumbing Down of America...
https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/wired-success/201407/anti-intellectualism-and-the-dumbing-down-america

"Keller blames this in part to the online universe that “skews young, educated and attentive to fashions.” Fashion, entertainment, spectacle, voyeurism – we’re directed towards trivia, towards the inconsequential, towards unquestioning and blatant consumerism. This results in intellectual complacency. People accept without questioning, believe without weighing the choices, join the pack because in a culture where convenience rules, real individualism is too hard work. Thinking takes too much time: it gets in the way of the immediacy of the online experience."

Emphasis mine (CGI=Clinton Global Initiative):

The Clinton camp told Politico that the CGI events are planned too far in advance for this one to be canceled. The source described as “close to Bill Clinton” said they “usually get good press. They never thought it would be such a problem.”

Really? The foundation has been a hot button issue since the spring of 2015, and the related problems stemming from her emails have been sapping support from her supposedly inevitable ascension to the White House ever since then. The Clintons had started to acknowledge reality this summer when they announced that the foundation would stop accepting corporate or foreign contributions if she became president. But that left open the question of why, if such donations would leave them open to conflict of interest charges with her in the White House, the same was not also true for the four years she was secretary of state.

I skimmed thru the other patrick's link, and I can't help but shake my head.

Not that many of the points aren't true. Just that the voices in that article don't look at those (that train teachers) who not only allows such shenanigans to happen, but to actively encourage such teaching.

The very mission of universities has changed, argues Liu. “We don’t educate people anymore. We train them to get jobs.”

You don't dare teach people how to think critically. That would likely violate some safe space, or be labeled as misogynist, racist, homophobic, Islamaphobic, or "actin' white". To coin a phrase, physician, heal thyself!

I read the whole thing. Forget teacher-trainers — not a word about the role of parents in shaping intellectual life, emotional intelligence and maturity.

______________________________________

John Rosemond has claimed that the refusal to put one's spouse ahead of one's children is the main reason why a stepfamily is more likely to end in divorce than the parent's first marriage. (Stepfamilies have a 2/3 divorce rate.)

Don't know if it's the MAIN reason, given how many non-step-families have the same problem of putting the children first.

However, here's one article he wrote in 2007:

http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2007/Mar/27/il/FP703270306.html

Second half:

...As a child is a child, a family is a family. The First Rule of Family Living is that the husband-wife relationship trumps all other family relationships.

Husband and wife should pay more attention to each other than they do the children; they should do more for each other than they do for the children; their relationship should be more active than the relationship either of them has with any child. In other words, marriage comes before family and family comes before children, in blendeds as well as non-blendeds, Amen.

If the family is headed by a parent who is single (note: as opposed to a single-parent family) the parent needs to have active extra-family relationships as well as an array of active interests that do not include his/her kids.

This helps the children understand that their relationship with their dad/mom is not a substitute marriage.

A blended-wife/mother asked me for an example of what she could do to let her daughter know that her marriage came first.

"The next time your daughter asks you permission to do something," I said, "tell her that you'll ask her stepfather about it when he gets home."

She laughed and said, "That'll blow her mind." It's high time for the blowing to commence.

I spoke with an authority on the subject because I was raised in what is today called a "blended family." I called my stepfather "Dad," I suppose because I intuitively realized that he was more of a father to me than he was a stepanything. Besides, children should not be allowed to call adults by their first names, so anything but "Dad" was out of the question. Likewise, I referred and still refer to the children of both my mother's and father's second marriages as my brothers and sisters. That makes for a simpler view of life and more rewarding family relationships. That also makes me the oldest child in two families, an honor most people cannot claim.

I've mentioned here before how Miss Manners, at least once, long ago, pointed out that there is both good PC and bad PC, and that anyone who tries to blur the dividing lines is doing no one any favors.

In TIME Magazine, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar elaborates on the same points she made.

BTW, near the end, on the subject of jobs as a campaign issue, one thing he didn't mention and should have was how many jobs are being lost to...machines. (Has EITHER candidate really talked about that in the last few months?)
