He ran an incredibly tight house race against Abigail Spanberger in 2020. His recognition came based on a speech to the VA house in 2018...https://youtu.be/KqqJKChKRzI?si=vUrCH4D6zzci5Pya Powerful, 7 + minutes in response to school shootings, worth a watch.
Same for pilots...
Meant to type "deter"...in too much of a rush...did not proof my comment🤪. No excuses😶
Didn't some San Francisco shop owner put Baby Shark on loop to determine homeless?
Who could trust the Secret Service detail he'd allow you?
Well, there goes white priviledge...
What's a black swan event?
When our culture is torn from its anchor of a biblical worldview, then all manor of evil will rush in to replace it. Our biblical response is to stand in the face of evil, speak truth in love, love our enemies, and hold fast to God's Word. Vengeance is the Lord's. No fear!
He was prescient...we're just a bunch of turkeys now...look what we've done to our beautiful, courageous country...and when I say "we" I'm not talking about folks here at GAW, but rather the flaccid, weak willed, leeming like "citizens" of this once proud nation. Yep, we're just a bunch of turkeys...
I have a different take; I want to know what happened that was so overwhelming that these folks would want to cut off perfectly healthy, functional body parts. They are sad...they need psychological help, and the alphabet mafia is exploiting them.
When Trump first was in office, I didn't understand and was definitely asleep. The daily BS barage was disconcerting and I was constantly on edge...I'd ask why he would tweet all those "mean things"...couldn't he just be more presidential?
Then, the stolen election, and I started to see things, and listen to other voices, and escaped the propaganda orbit. Took about 2 months. Now I know. Now I understand why the constant media barage and the push back by Trump on Twitter. Now it doesn't bother me...NCSWIC!
As for longing for things to be "normal", my faith reminds me that this is not our home. We are aliens and strangers among the world. The fellowship of believers is truly the sweetest gift, and now I have the courage to look forward to what is to come on the other side.
Check out The White Rose on Telegram...they will send you stickers or enable their printing.
Don't know where he is in math, but Khan academy is free, on line, and very helpful.
Best thing to do when starting out:
Use a complete program, such as ABEKA, or an all inclusive online program such as K12...this will help you break into homeschooling without having to worry about curriculum selection.
Join HSLDA and seek out your local homeschooling community.
Find an experienced homeschooling parent that will mentor you.
Once you are able to work out your best structure (it's a very personal endeavor as you need to find a curriculum/method that accommodates your strengths/lifestyle AS WELL AS your child's) then you can look at possibly tweaking you curriculum or sticking with a "canned" curriculum.
Biggest misstep parents make, especially when you are jumping in feet first without having any pre-planning, is being overwhelmed.
I don't don't know your child's ages, but focusing on the basics, reading fluently, writing clearly, and knowing how to manipulate figures (add, subtract, multiply, divide, then percents and consumer math) is the way to start. And, encourage your child to read, read, read! Read good literature. You can even listen to books on tape together and discuss them. I can not overemphasize how powerful focusing on good literature and non-fiction is for kids.
Attend the closest state homeschooling convention (usually during the summer) NC has an epic one...they offer terrific sessions on just about everything you may need, as well as gobs and gobs of curricula...my kids also loved attending.
I taught my son and daughter K-12. Had them in a co-op from 7th grade to 12th (I taught there too), and transitioned them to community college for their last few years. They both entered college with college credits. Both graduated on time (4years) and were very well prepared. I ended up teaching public school (middle school math) after they went to college, so I got to see both sides.
Have you ever thought, "Gee, I really wish I lived in Chicago, Philly, San Fran, Cleveland, Baltimore, NYC..."
I will listen to Candace from time to time...she's not on board with a stolen election either. But I do enjoy her take on many things. I am willing to entertain voices that don't exactly concur with my point of view, but I limit trustworthiness to a very curated list of sites.
That's interesting...I wasn't aware of that.
True, but maybe she has "evolved", for lack of a better word (actually, a goofy word, but it's late and my mind is mush!) And, people can change their minds...but you are right. It is a stretch. I had just heard Candace Owen's talking about the race today ...no Candace comments, ok?! I know she's not everyone's cup of tea but it interesting that she voiced that she's not enamored with DeSantis and seems more supportive of Trump, which she is aware many at Daily Wire are not)
How true! Mine can stem from decision fatigue...when I'm faced with overwhelming information, decisions become stifling and lead to withdrawal from the "noise" and clutter of my environment, but mostly mine comes from SAD...I'm a sunlight junkie and low light is toxic.
Wasn't that the case with soccer players this past season?
My theory on the rampant depression in our culture is predicated on the reality that when people have too much free time to contemplate their own existence, and the act of living is liberated from the hard work and effort needed to survive, they tend to major on the minors, so to speak, and the intense self scrutiny is tiresome and debilitating...ie, too much unproductive time on their hands...
Although I don't agree with every named item on her list, the point is I don't trust anything I hear from our government and know I have to do my own investigation. I am no longer a trusting, compliant sheep.
