Perfect Timing

Delaware’s window for homeschool enrollment opened today, conveniently balanced against Governor Carney’s ruling that all children must wear masks in school.

There is one direct way to communicate your disatisfaction with unscientific mandates on children: take them out of government school.

The community of homeschoolers is growing. Although libraries and many institutions have failed our children in the last year, the home-educating moms and dads in Delaware are amazingly supportive.

Homeschool enrollment is easy and there is still plenty of time to figure out how you want to proceed.

The following is from the Delaware Department of Education and will get you on your way to freedom:

Good afternoon,

Nonpublic schools are required to annual report to the Delaware Department of Education (DDOE) a statement of pupil enrollment as of the last school day in September on or before October 5th, pursuant to 14 Del. C. § 2704(b). 

You are receiving this email as a reminder to complete your annual enrollment report. Please complete your school’s required annual enrollment submission on or before October 5, 2022, through the DDOE’s Nonpublic School System. To report, log into EdAccess (https://launchpad.classlink.com/ddoe) and click on the Nonpublic Schools application icon to start the enrollment submission process. Select the Annual Enrollment tab at the top of the screen. Be sure to read the instructions on the screen and submit the enrollment for your school.  

To see a copy of the Enrollment Report or Acknowledgement Letter, please select the Records tab after you have submitted the annual enrollment.
If you have any questions or issues, please email nps@doe.k12.de.us. Please remember we receive a large volume of tickets during the reporting period and are responding in the order they are received. We appreciate your patience during this time.

Happy Warriors

Around 500 people joyfully fought against Christiana Care’s decision to force it’s employees to take an unapproved drug rushed to market by unaccountable government agencies and huge drug companies.

Many of the cars driving by supported the protest with honks, hollers, and thumbs up.

It was almost entirely non-political. I saw a couple political shirts and hats, but no signs or chants. Although I wasn’t there for the whole event, I didn’t even hear the “U-S-A!” chant that makes me cringe during freedom-focused events.

Christiana Care is not backing down yet, they fired the organizer of the rally and released a statement reaffirming their 100% Covid-19 vaccination goal.

The fight for individual autonomy is forever ongoing. Today was a great day to encourage and celebrate the minority of people who are willing to join that fight for all.

Keyboard Jockey Opts Outside

I’ve had a surprising number of people approach me online and in person to find out about this event.

I’ve been distracted from my sons trying to promote it and find a way to attend in my busy schedule.

I’ve finally set myself on going with both my boys and a healthy group of friends who have been my backbone this year.

The rally will not be on hospital grounds. It will be respectful and focused on medical freedom for all.

If you are reading this tonight, I hope to see you tomorrow.

On Eradication

As many prepare for more Lockdown measures, it is important that we analyze the purpose and effectiveness of such measures.

WSJ OPINION  COMMENTARY
Eradication of Covid Is a Dangerous and Expensive Fantasy

“Humanity’s unimpressive track record of deliberately eradicating contagious diseases warns us that lockdown measures, however draconian, can’t work. Thus far, the number of such diseases so eliminated stands at two—and one of these, rinderpest, affected only even-toed ungulates. The lone human infectious disease we’ve deliberately eradicated is smallpox. The bacterium responsible for the Black Death, the 14th-century outbreak of bubonic plague, is still with us, causing infections even in the U.S.”

“We live with countless hazards, each of which we could but sensibly choose not to eradicate. Automobile fatalities could be eradicated by outlawing motor vehicles. Drowning could be eradicated by outlawing swimming and bathing. Electrocution could be eradicated by outlawing electricity. We live with these risks not because we’re indifferent to suffering but because we understand that the costs of zero-drowning or zero-electrocution would be far too great. The same is true of zero-Covid.”

Masks on the Rise

The madness is creeping back: people pulling masks from their pockets, a little girl fishing one from her car seat, and every sort of improper use of an unproven form of protection.

The fight starts anew. Fauci says the vaccinated are no less likely to carry viral load than the unvaccinated. He says you must wear a mask again. He doesn’t apologize for pushing a claim about the ability of the vaccine to slow the spread. He doesn’t pause for a moment to say that we should slow down and look at the data. That the vaccine is not living up to expectations and it may be fair for rational people to not participate.

We are prepared to fight more Lockdowns as politicians lay blame and their followers tow the line. There are more doubters now. They are more emboldened.

The narrative was built on lies from the start. Even with the bait-and-switch acceptance that this likely started in a lab in Wuhan, no one is seriously looking to them for answers. Would not the folks doing the gain-of-function research not be the best ones to help develop therapies for this pathogen? Maybe they could earn their way out of their deserved prison cells by saving a few lives.

No? We aren’t pursuing this story with every resource? Okay. Good. The naked power grab of the elite (where has all the “relief” money gone?) is laid out for all to see.

More have awakened to the collusion of the corporate press and deep state actors. Fewer people are listening to the lies. More children will be pulled from schools and more families will discover the joys and freedom of home education. Individuals will become more free as society becomes less so.

There will be rough spots ahead, but it is getting harder and harder for the bad guys to get away with their schemes.

Teeccino

My girlfriend and I are exploring coffee alternatives and this is one of the more interesting options: Teeccino Chaga Ashwagandha.

Unlike chicory or the many mushroom brews we have tried, this one has heavier body and more texture. It also has a sweetness and creaminess. I’m a black coffee drinker, so not quite in my zone, but it reminds me of the added mouth feel that butter brings to a keto-friendly dark roast coffee.

I like this one as a more decadent choice. I’m going to blend it with chicory next to see if I can get more of the bite I like out of coffee.



A Little Humiliation

Two big games today and enough mistakes for two losses.

I had a lot of confidence going into these games. It bordered on a hubris that caught me missing a simple ball and being out of position at least once. Both mistakes led to goals.

It’s hard for me to balance those slips against a lot of solid play. The solid play didn’t translate into wins and the slips became losses.

Playoffs are ahead, a new season is always on the horizon, and I’m gaining an appreciation for losing as I increase my jiu-jitsu training.

I’m healthy and I faced the losses with grace. I’m blessed with these things. I’m blessed with wonderful teammates and a supportive soccer community.

Losing is learning. I learned plenty today.
