Light Listening The Light Bulb Initiative

I grew up in a time when our society as a whole prioritized protecting children from inappropriate materials, physical ailments, mental illness, harmful substances, predatory behavior, and anything that subverted the ability of parents to effectively raise their own offspring. I blinked and all of a sudden we have government institutions, mainstream media, private businesses, healthcare professionals, and entertainment conglomerates telling us that everything we believed 5-minutes ago is wrong and children should be allowed to consume pornographic material, they should be taught to engage in sexually explicit behavior, they should be exposed to biologically confusing concepts as if they are normal, they should be allowed to make irreversible decisions they can’t fully comprehend, their mental illnesses are to now be celebrated and encouraged, and worse, the people that gave birth to them and love them more than anything in this world, are now the child’s greatest enemy and the institutions, MSM, entertainment, and doctors are the true heroes of the story. 

On 2024-04-26 at approximately 1345 using the last 10 rounds of the box, on the third shot, we experienced a case head failure that damaged the slide of my Walther P22. I reached out to Walther and they provided a FedEx label (free of charge) and asked me to send the firearm to them so that their Smiths could take a look. I sent the firearm to them on 5/1, they received the firearm on 5/3 and sent it back to me repaired on 5/9. What I thought was going to be an assessment turned out to be a repair, once again, with no charge to me at all. Good customer service is a dying art so when you receive it, it is both surprising and refreshing. I wish that I could patronize them more, but living in California where our leadership has abandoned the Constitution, I am only able to legally purchase the P22 in this state thanks to Kamala Harris, which I already have, and nothing else from their extensive catalog of products. That being said, I really appreciate how Walther handled this situation. Thank you very much and keep up the good work. 

Our nature is to serve ourselves, love ourselves above all else, and then rationalize that nature in an attempt to justify it. This inherent behavior is at the root of every hostile action we’ve taken against one another. It is the sole cause of every war, every perpetrated atrocity from rape to genocide, and every dictatorship on every continent throughout the history of mankind. We love ourselves more than we love freedom, we love ourselves more than we love the truth, we love ourselves more than we love justice, and, reprehensibly so, we love ourselves more than we love God. Because we love ourselves so much we toil day in and day out trying to figure out how to make everyone who isn’t us love us the way we love ourselves, (forsaking all else). To accomplish this we utilize violence, blackmail, bribery and fear. Every system from religion to governmental bodies are ultimately highjacked and twisted into systems of control. For examples look no further than the year 2020. From local leadership to federal leadership all the way down to your neighbor, every single one demanded compliance without practical reason. And if you didn’t comply you were punished in all the ways I’ve listed above. Bribery was also used in the form of gifts and lotteries. These aren’t the actions of a free nation. These are the actions of a totalitarian nation prioritizing compliance over liberty. The Bible says to love our neighbor as we love ourselves because God knows that only in service to one another can we deny our broken nature and experience true happiness. 

Leftist progressives and Neo-liberals only like children when they can sexualize them, abort them, or use them to ignite emotional volatility as a weapon to further their goals toward the destruction of liberty under the facade of peace. In this case they’re using the lives of our children to make an unsubstantiated claim that allowing educators who choose to take on the responsibility of becoming the first line of defense against the criminally insane is not only less effective than learning to cower, run, and hide, but will somehow increase the occurrence of gun violence on campuses statewide. They, of course, never explain exactly how. The inference is that the law abiding educator in spite of undergoing 40 hours of training, background checks, and a mental health assessment, will automatically become a threat on par with a psychopath simply because they are now armed. They, of course, never explain exactly how. The truth is most mass shootings happen in gun-free zones because if you want to kill as many people as possible the last thing you want is to get shot before you even have a chance to begin the carnage. The truth is only good people with guns stop bad people with guns. The truth is the desire to protect without the most effective means to do so, is in fact, no protection at all.

First, I ask that all of you watch this segment so that you can see with your own eyes what it is they are actually celebrating in Arizona. Then, ask yourself if what you witnessed can be classified as a “reproductive right”. If your answer is yes, then I invite you to explain how a cause resulting in the death of a human child is righteous in any way and if the answer is no, then I challenge you to join the fight for innocent life.

This Time article attempts to blame falling U.S. birth rates on the economic instability of wealthier countries, the pandemic, lack of paid family leave, healthcare cost, childcare cost, student loans, political polarization, work instability, healthcare access, global conflicts, unstable working hours, and even climate change. The irony is the article’s proposed solution is more government when it is that very same government that is the root cause of every single problem listed above. The economic instability of wealthier countries is caused by nonsensical policies and regulations imposed by the government. The non-scientific response to the pandemic destroyed the middle class, small business, supply chains and education; to name a few. If the private sector was less regulated they’d fiscally be able to accommodate longer paid leave for families. Healthcare costs and access would increase if the medical industrial complex was a true free-market. Global conflicts would not be a factor domestically if we made our own bed before trying to clean someone else’s room. If our governmental body hadn’t steered the culture away from single income households, work stability and childcare wouldn’t have become a potential hindrance. Finally, “climate change”, really?! Climate alarmism was created and is perpetuated by our government despite the scientific contradictions as a system of control and distraction. The real problem is big government and our only way out of this predicament is to prioritize the nuclear family, encourage our youth to marry as soon as possible, restructure our economy to support young families, deregulate in favor of free-markets, bring back Judeo-Christian objective moral standards, enforce our constitution as it is written, bring trades back to high school, put patriotism back in schools, put education back in school, enforce legal immigration, and finally, we the people need to elect leaders that serve the people instead in place of themselves.
