Raising well-informed kids who become wise and resourceful adults

ISO recommendations of necessary historical data and concepts that's no longer taught in school, etc. ; Wed, 30 June 2021 12:37

As a teenager, I cared about places I wanted to travel to, the cute boy of the week, shopping and making money...studying U.S. History, causal factors that lead to the rise and fall of civilizations over time, or the significance of State, Federal, or Supreme court decisions could one day impede on my freedom as a U.S. Citizen. I was raised to respect and abide by the law even if I disagreed with it. This was a great foundation for nurturing integrity, honesty, respect, and dignity. But it wasn't until adulthood did I begin appreciating what it really meant to be born on U.S. soil and the significance of preserving our constitutional rights. I've recently finally found my 'inner bad-ass'! YAY!

I sense other people from my generation may relate to my story and really desire our kids to be more mentally and psychologically equipped to pursue their dreams while being aware of the political power shifts and media's influence on group-think so they become well-informed, independent thinkers and leaders that know when their constitutional rights and way of life is being threatened and understand the process to know when to speak up and take appropriate action.

What are important historical data that every U.S. Citizen should be well-informed on? Online resources for children and adults to read together and create discussions about current topics? Ideas to share with kids that pique their interest in government and politics?

Meme's

I love a good laugh and funny meme's help me to laugh more.; Fri, 19 February 2021 14:13

I don't normally post too many things because it seems that every time I do someone gets offended, so I quit posting. I am hoping that I will be able to post meme's here without having to worry about offending anyone. If you are easily offended, then I recommend reading a different thread to save us both time and aggravation.

I think big Tech is having a big tantrum

Facebook blocks Australian access to news; Thu, 18 February 2021 15:32

Facebook blocks Australian access to news (BAD LINK; Admin)

I wonder what other kinds of bull they will continue with, aside from censoring half of America they now want to use their broad brush against Australia . All in all I see the situation quite simply it us as individuals and collectively to reign big tech in. We are The product and so much more to them, seek alternative sources of the same services and back up any data you store online. I have faith in the Aussies they are the self reliant sort. For now their prime Minister is calling Facebook out for their actions

something more gooder: post Youtube video, copy the url dropping everything after the video code in this case "&feature=emb_logo" paste it into your post:

Always remember "Preview is Your Friend!"

The plugin to enable this is uploaded below, and I am looking to have it modified to include bitchute and rumble as well.

Our impeachment farce

Wed, 10 February 2021 00:49

Change one to change 1 : The senate voted to hear the impeachment so my days are shot! I had hoped to have this completed by now but life happens and it will have to wait.

having read the charges against Trump, and viewed so much of past history, I have to say I hope they unload every thing and end this political nightmare!

For clarity's sake I believe: that this election was stolen, at the very least there is overwhelming evidence and testimony of massive voter fraud. and I believe it was nation wide!
I believe: that a very large number of well known figures will face some serious judgements soon, how extensive those judgements will be is unknown the facts are so muddled it's impossible to see clearly.
I believe: That I do not want to be censored or manipulated on line and this is my feeble attempt to change the status quo!

1776-Commission-Final-Report

One of Foux President Bidens 1st acts was to cancel the 1776-Commission; Tue, 09 February 2021 11:01

Faux President Biden's 1st act was to cancel the 1776-Commission, I guess it does not agree with our new socialist overlords.

I will fetch the 1776-Commission-Final-Report and upload it here.

The Forums Blog

I had the blog active for a short while ; Sat, 06 February 2021 21:52

I had the blog active for a short while but it has a RSS link that's bad or rather it's not supposed to be because I turned RSS Syndication and PDF generation off through the admin panel. It has been brought to the attention of the development team. And I will re-enable it as soon as they get back too me with a solution.

It appears to be the result of the path info theme I selected (path info provides a easier to read url which is more search engine and user friendly).

Kudos's to the development team

they have exceeded my previous expectations by quite a lot.; Sat, 06 February 2021 21:37

After having a few days to explore the Bowels of this software I have to extend Kudos's to the development team, they have exceeded my previous expectations by quite a lot.
But now it's mine (ours if You want to join), it's your choice.

my plan is no more complex than creating a forum along the lines of an old fashioned board system for Bond and neighboring Counties. Actually it is more complex than that but that's the gist of it. The thing is I can explain it to someone (to a certain extent, some things you need to see for yourself) but I cannot understand them for you.

I Decided long ago that we need a way to keep informed of local events, politics, and current affairs before we read about what happened in the news paper or hear it on the radio. And this humble forum is my attempt to rectify that situation by providing something versatile and local with out big tech censorship. And I believe the developers have developed a most excellent platform for that purpose.

Censoring what can be said and who can say it isn't a good thing; Sat, 06 February 2021 21:10

About 7 years ago I threw up my hands in disgust with the internet of things, after having been hacked on a forum I had created for someone else's use.
I deleted every thing and took a sabbatical, working only off line.

A year latter we suffered a fire and I lost every thing I had been working on for the past 10 yrs, notes instructions, backups, passwords everything! And I had no heart left to start over.

For years I had been a critic of the internet of things, because I knew that so much of what occurs on line is an illusion,  see   Gaslighting, and Man in the middle.

Etc. Which brings up the concept of a fifth generation of ware fare, consisting of manipulation of ideas and information, small individual ambush attacks, subversion etc. etc.

We see to day the cancel culture, propaganda news, big tech controlling speech (even the president), deciding what information can be shared and by whom!

Ye gads and little fishes they even have us all wearing muzzles, and in fear of leaving our homes and interacting with each other.

Its hard for me to imagine a more Orwellian dystopia. I'd like to do something about it!
