LOCKDOWN: Remember the New Jersey gym owners, Ian Smith and Frank Trumbetti, who opened up during lockdowns and got slapped with $165,000 in fines by the state? During the pandemic, they pointed out the hypocrisy of the state declaring that liquor stores were “essential”, but places where people could come to work on their physical and mental health had to close. I’d like to ditto that for churches, which were also forced to close, while casinos were allowed to open. After a four year battle, a judge has cleared Smith and Trumbetti of every one of the more than 80 charges New Jersey laid against them.

BIDENOMICS: When I was a kid, my father rarely did any grocery shopping. But one day he decided we should really stock up, so he and our mom took me and my little brother. We each took a cart, which he filled to overflowing. One of them had nothing in it but meat. When we got to the checkout line, my brother was so excited by the long, long, loooong tape streaming out of the register that he insisted we each guess the total. I hate guessing games, but he nagged, so I blurted, “Fine then! $187.50.” The reason I remember this in such detail is that the total turned out to be … $187.50.

From this data, they isolated adults aged 18-60 who had attempted or committed suicide and divided them up by (a) those who had had so-called “gender affirmation” surgery, (b) those who had had a tubal ligation or vasectomy, and (c) those who had had neither.

They found that those who had had so-called “gender affirmation” surgery were five times more likely to self-harm than those who had had tubal ligation or vasectomy and twelve times more likely than those who had had neither.

The trial is expected to last a couple more weeks as the defense does their thing.

George Washington law professor, Jonathan Turley, wrote, “Even hosts and commentators on CNN are now criticizing the prosecution and doubting the basis for any conviction. The question is whether the jury itself is realizing that they are being played by the prosecution.”

TRUMP: Bill Maher says Stormy Daniels is a “bad witness” because she lied during her testimony in the current Trump trial. And here was me thinking that someone who has been selling her body for years can’t really be trusted to tell the truth about much of anything. But maybe that’s just me.

Maher reported that, on the stand, Daniels testimony was a litany of Me Too buzz words. Among other things, she said Trump “was bigger and blocking the way. … There was an imbalance of power for sure. … My hands were shaking so hard.”

But in 2018, when Maher interviewed her about the same incident, she insisted she was “not a Me Too case. I wasn’t assaulted. I wasn’t attacked, or raped, or coerced or blackmailed [by Trump]…. They tried to shove me in the Me Too box to further their own agenda. And first of all, I didn’t want to be part of that because it’s not the truth and I’m not a victim in that regard.“

CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/X3NI4jHmWaw for another good one from Nick Freitas.

CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5pjp2QMdn7Y for an awesome dad.

I got this in email from my youngest today: “Hey! Question for you. The boys are really good at doing tasks when we tell them to, but this summer, I’d like to establish a chore system and I’m considering some sort of payment system. How did Goobers work?”

My response: Daddy came up with a theory he called Sieve Parenting that I thought made a lot of sense. From conception until sometime around six months when you were self-aware enough to begin learning manners and discipline, the parental reality sieve had the smallest holes we could manage. But as you grew, it was our job to slowly make the holes bigger and bigger so that, by your 18th birthdays, you were ready for the freedoms and responsibilities that come with being legal adults.

When you’re in it, day to day, parenting feels like forever, but really, eighteen years is not much time to move a helpless infant to the point where s/he can handle being allowed to get married, vote, borrow money, rent an apartment, buy a car, and go get shot at in some country you never heard of before. So, to ensure we slowly opened the sieve holes, every three to six months or so, we’d re-assess each of you and choose a new responsibility and freedom to acknowledge maturation. 

I remember when your eldest sister started 1st grade, she had to remember her own lunch and got to read for an extra 30 minutes after bedtime. When she forgot her lunch, she had to go hungry until she got home from school. She didn’t forget again. Later, in high school, one of her responsibilities was to catch the school bus in the morning; I still remember her rage stomping down the street in the pouring rain, because we wouldn’t drive her to school. She didn’t miss the bus again. Remembering homework was a responsibility given out early as well. One time, your middle sister forgot an assignment and didn’t want to get docked a grade to turn it in a day late. Daddy told her he wanted 17 Goobers to drive it to school; she paid.

Part of being an adult is taking care of your own stuff and spaces, doing your fair share taking care of your community stuff and spaces, and learning the relationship between work and money. Since we didn’t have any actual money to spare, we printed up Goobers and let you do extra chores to earn them. They could then be used to purchase privileges of various kinds from us and from one another. We divided up the chores by things you should do for yourself, things you should do for the benefit of the community, and things that go above and beyond. The classifications depended on age, as did the definitions of what kinds of privileges could be purchased.

I did an inventory of all the things an adult living alone needs to deal with. One was buying and maintaining a wardrobe. So we spent one summer learning to sew and I made you all learn how to do your own laundry as soon as you could reach the buttons and measure out detergent. Other personal chores I required, but didn’t pay for were homework, grades, music practice (if you were taking lessons), typing tutor time (daily until you could test at 35 words per minute without looking at the keys), writing thank you notes, and Scripture, prayer and personal journaling time.

I also didn’t pay for routine community space maintenance … taking turns at setting the table, doing dishes, vacuuming, mopping, taking out trash or compost, bathrooms. But there were always little things that we considered our jobs that we paid Goobers to have help with. I can’t remember specifics, but probably stuff like weeding, peeling garlic, etc.

What could be traded or purchased with Goobers could be as variable as we wanted, depending on what you each needed to learn at any given time. They were worth $1 each; as I recall, you mostly used them to pay me to buy things you wanted at the store. But you also had to pay for rides to non-family activities. A trip to the mall for you and your friends was expensive … which is why you all learned the beauty of Public Transit.

That’s all I can think of. I hope this helped. 🙂 Love, Mom
