“But importantly it doesn’t affect the immune system, so the researchers expect people carrying this version of the gene to respond normally to vaccines.”
Are you still believing in this too-good-to-be-true family of unapproved vaccines that hasn’t stopped the “pandemic”?
(quotes because I don’t believe any of their bullshit)
I’ve removed myself almost entirely from the consumption of corporate media. There isn’t enough truth in any of their story telling to make it worth my time.
Their focus is always designed to divert attention away from the crimes of the powerful against the powerless (e.g., Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial).
Tom Woods is dedicated to the truth and here interviews Jason Fink, a filmmaker and eye witness to the events of January 6th, 2021: The Regime’s Obsession with January 6.
Two soccer games, a confetti (Thank You God it wasn’t glitter) bomb, a lovingly prepared picnic at Winterthur, a visit with my grandparents, and an evening fire made for the best Father’s Day ever.
Two years ago we started Allschoolers. Every homeschool group in Delaware had stopped meeting in accordance with government dictates and a small number of families insisted that our children needed to be outside with friends. We consisted of more than just homeschoolers. “Virtual, “crisis,” and “temporary” public and private schoolers joined us from the start. We chose the name “Allschoolers” to ensure that what we were providing was available to all families who felt the same needs.
I was poking around some of the admin tools on Facebook today and I’d like to share some of the exciting and illuminating statistics I found.
We’re nearly at 800 members! Most all them are Delaware residents and represent an entire family that participates in our meets.
I do not know how Facebook defines “active,” but we are regularly reaching hundreds of families with our posts and an increasing number of members are sharing events, pictures, and insights. Only one of the top posts was written by an administrator, another encouragement for me as I hope to steward a community full of leaders. Three of the top posts are turning into new in-person events arranged by members.
I didn’t have to cherry pick stats, every metric demonstrates an engaged, growing, and local community.
I’ve joked about being in the 1% of home educators as a dad at the head of our educational helm and it is great to see that I’m in more of the 5-6% range! These dads are super active and an important part of our group. Our focus is always on inclusion and being a place where dads step up and participate isn’t terribly common in homeschooling circles (anectodally speaking, that is).
“Diversity” can be a loaded term, but for our little state, it seems like we are attracting people from all over. It’s exciting to meet new people and learn about all the different approaches to home education that families are employing.
I was a naysayer from the start of this project, but it did seem worth a shot when everything had changed for the worse. I’m so glad that I was so wrong. We’ve created something special and each new member brings an important piece to our community.
“What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” –Luke 11:11-13 RSV
They may not appreciate it in this moment, but this week I am giving my sons the gift of responsibility.
Since losing their mother I have often chosen peace over consequences. I have taken on extra work when I should have held them accountable. I have let things go when my energy waned and I didn’t want them to hate me.
My peaceful parenting has got to evolve. It’s time to quietly demand more respect and responsibility from my children. I’ve earned it and they will benefit greatly from claiming their stake in our lives.

This is how God loved the world: He gave his own one and only son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. -John 3:16 NLT
For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. -John 3:17 RSV
Jesus came to save, not condemn.
Condemnation is hot right now. Social sins are condemned and people are ostracized for the moral failings.
Maybe we can be more like Jesus and work to save rather than reproach.

Humility means surrending the ego. You must choose what to surrender it to. God represents the highest ideal I can imagine, a good home for my ego when I can release it.

Language is one of the strangest things about widowhood. The marriage is legally disolved, is her family still my “in-laws”? No one posseses the children in my charge, but they are “ours.” The decisions my wife and I made for our family are relevant today, so I often say “my wife and I” in present terms. Yet, I have a loving girlfriend…try dropping those relationship terms without context.
You get used to the weirdness, but it is unusual to be a widowed parent of minors, it will always be weird.
