Changing the Narrative with Cecil Grant Jr‪.‬ Cecil A. Grant Jr

The left hates questions concerning the things they say because most of what they say doesn’t make any sense. Just listen to Biden’s press secretary Karine Jean Pierre answer questions she is asked about this failed administration. When the right questions the left on their nonsensical assertion, the blow back can be so violent in nature that the right is quick to retreat or even compromise on matters of morality for fear of being seen as extremist.
For instance, when a child declares they want to transition to another gender, we are told we must support, embrace, and most of all affirm that decision. The child, no matter their age, knows without exception who they truly are, and we must accept that, no matter what.
I saw a story of a 19 year old boy who declared to his parents he felt he was really a girl. The mother was immediately enlightened and now understood why her son had experienced issues with depression and anxiety since middle school. He made a life altering decision on his own and his parents were supportive and affirming. The article continues this story of transitioning stating when the boy came home pretending to be a girl he was nervous about being “out” in public, and the mother was nervous too. He asked her for advice on being out as a transgender.
Her response was, “Honestly, I don’t know. Let’s figure it out together.”
Her response implies no research was done by the boy or the parents concerning transgender before making or beginning the transition.
For his 20th birthday they threw him what they called a re-birthday party. This is where he announced to everyone who he really is and to celebrate his true identity. It also provides the parents the opportunity to visibly demonstrate their acceptance. The story provides links to many books and resources that can help you affirm and navigate this special moment in your child’s life.

The word child is used a lot in the article. The title of the story even uses the word child. Although the child in this story is 19 years old, the use of the word child suggest these decisions could be made by children even younger than age 19. The article implies any sort of counseling or professional guidance should be sought after you affirm your child’s decision (you as the parent play no role in the decision making process) and the counseling is seen as a tool to help the parents and the child move forward into this new life. It is never suggested that counseling should be looked into concerning the child’s depression or anxiety before making this life altering decision.
In summary, a child is capable of determining, on their own, that they are not the correct gender and can make the decision, on their own, to change their gender.
As a parent, your role is simply to affirm this life altering decision.
I wonder if this line of thinking applies to children who believe they are a cat or a frog. Are parents supposed to affirm those decisions and do what’s necessary to change the child into a cat or a frog?
An adult can be considered a juvenile based on how they act in certain situations. For example, Joe’s actions at the company party were considered juvenile, meaning childish or immature. Joe is an adult but for whatever reason he decided to act like a child at the company party. The key here is Joe is an adult. Joe’s behavior at the company party are actions befitting a child and not an adult. This demonstrates that an adult can act like a child but can a child act like and adult? Are we expected to believe children are capable of making adult decisions?

The left wants you to believe that a child can act like an adult and make adult decisions about their life. Children can and should be able to make these life altering decisions, but should be considered childish an

I just returned from my 40th class reunion at the Air Force Academy. The reunion was great but the state of the academy makes me wonder where the standards went. Beards, long hair on men and women and zero table manners are just a few of the issues I discuss in this highly anticipated episode. The new commandant says he’s a standards guy. Can he change the slipping academy standards or is it too late to save this institution created to train and develop military leaders? For those who were at USAFA in September, what did you see and feel or do you even care? Let me know if I’m correct in my assessment or way off base. Don’t be afraid to join the discussion.

In this episode I talk about Constitution Day and present a breakdown of the preamble that was provided to me by a friend who graduated from the United States Air Force Academy in 1983. Perhaps if we understood the preamble we’d understand the significance of this day in history and our Constitution. Worth listening to every year.

In this episode I revisit the events of 9/11/2001 and call for us as a nation, to unite in spirit as we did so many years ago. I close with an article written by Cornel Nistorescu, a Romanian, entitled “Ode to America”, written on September 24, 2002.

In the world today we are being told to believe the most important thing is the color of our skin, not the content of our character. In this episode I do a deep dive into Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech specifically, the quote of wanting a nation that would judge his kids not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. This is an episode that’s very important; you don’t want to miss it. Remembering his speech given 60 years ago today.
