The Native Iowan

It’s over 34c outside, blazing bright sun and Simpson’s style blue skies. Had 50mm of rain over the last few days so its muggy and moist. 

I’ll stay inside. Aircon is good.

So I listen and watch and read… and I learn something new… Parents have no role in their children’s care. In Minnesota, anyway… they say it’ll save lives. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/minnesota-governor-signs-executive-order-protecting-rights-to-gender-affirming-care 

I am shocked. Shocked I say. I thought Minnesota had more common sense. They elected Jesse the Body as Governor. 

Is the USAofA so fucked up that it dont see what is happening, what they are doing? Or is it just a continuum of the gutting of the traditional family? I dont get it.

Half a million abortions a year is not getting the job done. Let’s mutilate and damage our kids before they can think for themselves. Gut the traditional family more, and more…

Without making note and paying attention to the sad fact that a very high percentage of “Trans” turn the clock back at a later date… https://nypost.com/2022/06/18/detransitioned-teens-explain-why-they-regret-changing-genders/

The life affirming, life changing, life saving change, wasn’t.

I really like that the smart mayor from Syracuse decided to pay young thugs to be less disruptive. Damn! What a bright idea. Reward negativity to stop negativity. Sure makes sense to me. Spend a million bucks to, what? Get youthful gang members to be good? Not so sure what the plan out come is suppose to be. https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny/news/2023/03/08/syracuse-mayor-s-office-unveils-plan-to-combat-gun-violence

Here in the Land of Oz, the latest iteration of elected geniuses decided that alcohol bands in certain areas were racist. Which may well be true. Also, they stopped making govt entitlement (welfare) payments in the form of grog-less debit cards. Which was racist too. So they pay in cash and the families are terrorised by the toxic males and certain communities have fallen into chaos and confusion. https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/a-crime-wave-has-sparked-emergency-measures-in-alice-springs-heres-whats-going-on/3qcqvrkip

And, now, as we speak, we’re preparing for a constitutional amendment that will enshrine a “Voice” for the Aboriginals. Noting well there are over 20 aboriginal elected members to parliament as is. But a special constitutional change is required in the name of equity. And once this change is made, all will be well in the universe… https://www.skynews.com.au/australia-news/politics/jacinta-price-claims-voice-to-parliament-yes-campaign-targets-good-will-of-australians-as-newspoll-reveals-majority-support-for-upcoming-referendum/news-story/afb342d064b02a5cbfc05564368beace

Sure, makes sense to me!

I am watching as the Loony-Liberals running San Francisco decide giving all in their constituency deserving, a half-mil payment and a free house and a life long income will heal all pains and evils of the past, and make the future rosy and perfect. No one knows where the money will come from, but the hugg-fests and rhetoric feels as good a a nice pee in your pants. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/san-francisco-black-reparations-plan-5-million-per-person/

Somewhere in my rambling readings I came across a conversation discussing human development. Noting there were many forms of bipedal beasts moving and grooving, in the prehistoric past. The Human-Beast was not the biggest, the strongest, the smartest, but they were very tribal/ family oriented. They worked together. Their young were raised by the tribe, food was shared, fire was shared, members lived within the circle of the tribe/ family all their lives. The older, weaker members, the grandparents, could tend the fire and the children and the younger and stronger members, moms and dads, could be productive. It is GrandParents that have made the human species great.

Grandparents rule….

By the way, Connie and her 2yr old are here. First time I have met this one…

Gracie is in granny heaven. Kids are good.

Smiles all around the world
