Happy Father's Day tomorrow, all you Impregnating Persons

Well, unless you are as confused about the Impregnating/Fathering connection as, say, Hunter Biden

Actually, Happy Father's Day to all you men who play fatherly roles in the lives of children and younger adults. Even the difficult ones. Even if those roles are indirect.

Fatherliness can be a challenge today

I think that Powerline's Ammo Grrrll is pretty much on target here with her advice about RAISING KIDS AND CHICKENS. It starts out with some observations that mostly could have fit in the Gardening Thread, which you should maybe read. Heh. But then she gets into Thread before the Gardening Thread territory:

Grandma's chickens roamed freely throughout the yard pecking at everything, squawking and complaining incessantly, like members of The Squad, only smarter and less arrogant. They never really seemed very happy with their lives, in the coop or out.

But Grandma had a twin sister and HER chickens were Extremely Free Range. Auntie Iva's chickens were allowed IN THE HOUSE. They had to be shooed off the dining room table before we could eat. No wonder I have such a tremendous immune system!

So why, over the last 15 months and counting, has it been considered good for chickens to roam about, but to have children locked in their homes while teachers get paid for failing to teach, instead of the popular current practice of teaching to fail? Thank God the Teachers' Union is in charge. If students had school choice, how in the world would the black kids learn that they are too oppressed to take the "racist" ACT or even too stupid to locate a place to get an I.D. to vote? How would white kids grasp that they are singularly privileged and evil and responsible for slavery, including the 9 million slaves still in Africa today?

Good questions! On to fatherhood:

Did you ever notice that in ANY discussion of mothers, but particularly SINGLE mothers, you always hear two words, almost as a mantra: STRONG, INDEPENDENT women? So, "strength" and "independence" are prized qualities in women according to The People Who Decide Such Things. When was the last time you saw in print the phrase, "strong, independent men"? (I'll wait...) MEN are never described positively as "strong", which is seen as a threat, not an asset. And "independence" in men is not prized at all in Femi-Ninny World, lest the men grow a spine and disagree with the women who love bossing us around.

Yeah, I'm tired of that. "Strength" - of character, of adherence to values, of an ability to get through tough times, even just regular muscular, jar-opening strength - is equally good in both men and women. Many people HAVE had "strong, independent" mothers, especially if their husbands died or left them. God bless them all. But so have many of us had strong fathers, which was a blessing as well. And I have known several MEN who did all the hard work of raising children after the birthing persons, who all just happened to be women - what are the chances? -- decided they couldn't be bothered any more. (By the way, if a woman pretending to be a man can still technically be called a "birthing person," what do you call a man pretending to be a woman? An "impregnating person"? Rachel? Anybody?) Insanity!

There are several penetrating observations where these came from. And an appreciation. Lovely.

Larry Elder frequently speaks about the importance of fathers, particularly in the "Black Community". It's one thing to grow up with a single mom. It's another to grow up with a single mom in a neighborhood in which there are almost no involved fathers. And now, where BLM advocates for "mothers and parents", totally skipping over fathers as if they don't really matter.

Here's a video of a speech Elder gave on Why Fathers Matter.

More involved than you might expect. Some turbulence is revealed. His own father had a very rough childhood without a mother OR father after age 13 (but in a time when society still believed in fathers).

George Washington

George Washington, the Father of our Country, had no biological children, but was still a fatherly figure to many. He lost his own father when he was 11. So, how did he learn to be a man? Partly by reading, I think. The following rules were written by men, for men.

George Washington wrote out a copy of the 110 Rules of Civility in his school book when he was about 14-years old.

Vote for your favorite or comment on which Rule you think is still relevant today.

These maxims originated in the late sixteenth century in France and were popularly circulated during Washington's time. This exercise, now regarded as a formative influence in the development of his character, included guidelines for behavior in pleasant company, appropriate actions in formal situations, and general courtesies.

Something to think about today, perhaps. What would be today's equivalent set of Rules for Civility, and how would various adolescent boys respond to them over time?

Well if you have a lot of dental work, there is always a tendency for it to breakdown and need maintanance so there is that. And when it rains it pours, also your dentist might need a new car?

33 First Fathers Day since my Dad passed. We really did not have much of a service when he passed.

His sisters are still alive but CCP disease kept them from traveling.

He had Alzheimer's. So when he passed it was more a relief then a sorrow. Dad had reverted to a childlike state then an infant state before he went. I would not wish what happened to him on my worse enemy.

40 I realize people have different ideas and the value different things. Life would be truly boring if we agreed on everything. But I do wonder when educated people do not rate Washington as the greatest president. Scratch that, I wonder when they don't rate him in the top three. Scratch that, I honestly wonder when they don't rate his as the greatest. I am trying to be fair here, but really it is near impossible if you really have read about him to not see him as the greatest. Henry Lee didn't call him "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen" for no reason.

I have read about Washington's copy of that work. For sure it made an impact, he didn't just transcribe it, he took it to heart and lived it. I also think he learned a lot from is beloved older brother that he lost.


Posted by: Quint at June 19, 2021 10:32 AM (gJfTA)

41 I think it is pretty clear Washington was infertile for whatever reason.
Parke Custis was his stepson and the closest thing you could get to a
descendant. R. E. Lee admired Washington really above anyone else. He
married a Custis for love I am sure, but also because he wanted to be
close to the Washington family. That is conjecture but many historians
believe that was part of it. Nothing negative about that, just a natural
inclination.

******

Making a blanket assertion that the incidence of myocarditis is "25 TIMES the normal rate" first of all requires knowledge of what the normal rate is (see me @110). Then you must specify the length of time and the time of year of the two groups being compared.Finally you have to establish comparable criteria for patient selection and definition of what constitutes a case.

Incidence is the number of individuals with the disease (as defined), within a stated population, within a defined time period.

e.g. 17 out of a hundred women aged 25-30 selected at random from the general population had biopsy-confirmed breast cancer in January 2018

I lived it, he went the whole distance because he was as strong as you could ask going in. He lasted 12 years and always at home and always with his family. That is as long as Reagan lasted and that is pretty much determined the life span of the disease if nothing else happens. I would use other terms for his state. It changed over time, but really when Alzheimer's takes over, we can't see into their mind, we can't fully know what is going on. You do your best if you have the option and choose it.

It is advanced game theory married with pragmatic strategy.

Surrender is also a form of warfare. A surrender war is considered won when the cost of further surrender exceeds the cost of surrendering. so clearly we have a long way to go.

115 @64 Widespread Pepe-Hate to say it but "gatekeepers" such as Dennis Prager, Jordan Peterson and Candace Owens are some of the worst "feminists" on our side. Dennis convincing young males to "man up" and "wife up" them single mothers at your local church and Jordan Petersons old order thinking as it pertains to inter-sexual dynamics and courtship only lead males to the slaughter. The Ward and Beaver Cleaver days are long gone and someone needs to hip them dipshits to it. Listen to Candace Owens in debates, she always falls back in some way to feminist thinking. So many on our side are so conditioned by it its depressing when you hear it.

165 @133 Just a side note-Women are the same from the big city to the little podunk town in the middle of nowhere. True, in a rural area you are more likely to find females that are programmed with traditional/conventional thinking, i.e. morals that are more than that of an alley cat in heat, but they are still hardwired the same way. With the inter webs and social media the world is a lot bigger place and they're involved in it. The biggest online dating sites are not the actual dating sites, it's Instagram.
Besides, I wish I had a dollar for every female in a big city that has moved from a small town to "better" themselves. Nah man, traditionally feminine women nowadays are the exception, not the rule.

**

It's why "cases" (using a comically flawed test) were so crucial. The people that were most vulnerable died. Deaths dropped WAY off. The threat had run its course but they had to keep the hysteria up somehow.

Here's a handy county-level COVID tracker.

covid19.biglocalnews.org/county-maps

Spoilers: Not even 5K nationwide "with" COVID deaths in the last two weeks. For some mysterious reason you have to click on the "fatalities" tab to see the relevant data. Otherwise they gray it out so you can see the bold "cases" silliness. Oh, and there aren't even 200K cases in the last two weeks.

But with the society just meekly accepting/ignoring/not being aware of the total disconnect between actual science, existing knowledge based on historical observation, and radical destructive and useless "policies", I see no reason for optimism.

Poor thing! Given how they raised Hunter, I assumed that Champ was biting because he was never traind/dsciplined, and being put in the WH with all those new people, while his owner is brain-warped (dogs could sense that), and got overprotective.

The Bidens abuse people, so a dog is not much of a stretch. . .

Since movies theaters have had air conditioning, people have been seeing movies in the Summer to get out of their hot houses.

People used to go to the Malls to enjoy the AC.

Of fucking course people like AC.

257 I find it interesting how many presidents, at least in recent years, had problems with their fathers. JFK's father was a monster. Ford's biological father abandoned the family (though I believe that his stepfather was good to him). Reagan's father was the town drunk. Clinton's father was killed before he was born, and his stepfather was a real piece of work. Obama's father-issues are well known.

I'm not sure what this means, but it's interesting.

284 Of course one of the darkly hilarious aspects of toxic nonsense like "systemic racism" and now Juneteenth (as anything more than a TX holiday) is how, magically, these things became a thing out of thin air, overnight, after nobody bringing them up/asserting them for ..... decades, or a century or more.

Somebody was paying attention last year, and noted that Trump was going to commence his formal re-election campaign on June 19. He was mau-mau'd into delaying it by a day, because ..... Juneteenth! Which 98% of the people vigorously applauding the brainless anti-Trump hatred had to go look up.

Thus was born Juneteenth, as an "issue" of any kind.

Of course with idiots like Cornyn shouting louder and holding his torch higher than others in the mob, it was easily missed that the latest craven and pathetic pandering by the GOP was in fact triggered by just another routine baseless and vile attack on Trump.

Didn't slavery in Biden's state of Delaware end in December 1865, six months after Juneteenth? How is this not a question someone should ask someone in power? It is Biden's state, the state he represented for decades. It happened six months after Juneteenth. I am not saying you can't celebrate Juneteenth, we have discussed this. But what is the significance of the day exactly. The end of slavery in the CSA, I can buy that. But is that what people are being taught? If I have something wrong here please someone correct me.

President Trump had a rally in Tulsa on June 19, 2020. Of course, Tulsa is Ground Zero for Slow Joe, so he remembers Juneteenth as having something to do with the Tulsa riot. Seriously, he didn't know it was a holiday. But not only that, it was going to be the "super spreader" event for Chinese Flu. Of course, it wasn't, but that was the story. And to top it off, someone recently wrote a book where he claimed (with no proof, of course) that a black Secret Service agent told Trump that he was offended at having to work on Juneteenth.
