At a meet this past winter his coach was approached by the opposing coach to inquire if someone on the team would be willing to wrestle a mentally challenged wrestler on their team in an exhibition match (doesn't count on either record). My grandson, who had not lost a match all season and all his matches had ended in pins, said he would wrestle him. His coach told him not to pin him in the first period. The match went for all three periods and the boy from the other team pinned my grandson to end the match. There was lots of cheering and tears from the parents and other team members. My grandson said it was kind of weird having to help an opponent pin him. Many lessons learned that day. Many new friends in a town 75 miles away. Not to mention a grandmother who recognizes a very young, young man who has his priorities straight and doesn't need to be reminded daily.

The sad t***h.

SON IS TELLING THE SAD T***H – NEVER SAID BETTER



Time is like a river. You cannot touch the water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Franklin Graham was speaking at the First Baptist Church in Jacksonville , Florida , when he said America will not come back. He wrote:



* “The American dream ended " The first term of Joe Biden has been the final nail in the coffin for the legacy of the white Christian males who discovered, explored, pioneered, settled and developed the greatest republic in the history of mankind.



A coalition of b****s, Latinos, feminists, gays, government workers, union members, environmental extremists, the media, Hollywood , uninformed young people, the “forever needy,” the chronically unemployed that do not want to work , i*****l a***ns and other “fellow travelers” have ended.........Norman Rockwell's America.



You will never again out-v**e these people. It will take individual acts of defiance and massive displays of civil disobedience to get back the rights we have allowed them to take away. It will take zealots, not moderates and shy, not reach-across-the-aisle RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) to right this ship and restore our beloved country to its former status.



People like me are completely politically irrelevant, and I will probably never again be able to legally comment on or concern myself with the aforementioned coalition which has surrendered our culture, our heritage and our traditions without a shot being fired.



The Cocker spaniel is off the front porch, the pit bull is in the back yard, the American Constitution has been replaced with Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” and the likes of Chicago shyster David Axelrod along with international socialist George Soros have been pulling the strings on their beige puppet and have brought us Act 2 of the New World Order.



The curtain will come down but the damage has been done, the story has been told.



Those who come after us will once again have to risk their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to bring back the Republic that this generation has timidly frittered away due to white guilt and political correctness..”



Got the guts to pass it on? You bet I do and just did….



IN GOD WE TRUST

Dr. Phil Warns ‘Chaos’ Agents Are Strategically Targeting Children With Social Media

In a Friday appearance on “Verdict,” the popular podcast hosted by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Phil McGraw argued children are “being targeted with what they will click on, full-well knowing that it creates anxiety, depression, loneliness, confusion, self-hatred.” McGraw, the longtime host of “Dr. Phil,” posed a poignant question. “If you want to create chaos in a society, where do you start? You attack the children.”

Social media is an unprecedented and pervasive problem, according to Cruz. “From the perspective of parents and grandparents, the pressures that are on our kids right now are qualitatively different from what we experienced,” he said. “I mean, they’re just assaulted online with social media, they’re confronted with themes and messaging and influence that is deliberately poisoning them.”

This is an increasingly daunting reality for parents. According to McGraw, many struggle to grasp the issue. “People don’t understand algorithms, including me,” he said. “But I got myself in touch with experts that do understand this.”

The experts cited by McGraw draw alarming conclusions. The television host detailed an experiment where researchers created f**e social media profiles of a 14-year-old female. Algorithms served up “information that led her to eating disorder sites, suicidality sites, different kinds of things that were really unhealthy,” he said. These archers enhanced the test by typing in the words “weight loss,” and the results were “shocking.”

“The algorithm picked up those words and what they do is they feed you what you will click on,” McGraw explained. “So, it was like 10 times more toxic information.”

The negative feedback loop pushed by these toxic social media platforms creates larger, damaging trends. According to a study from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, “adolescents who spent more than 3 hours per day on social media faced double the risk of experiencing poor mental health outcomes including symptoms of depression and anxiety.”

The same HHS study found up to 95 percent of kids aged 13-17 use social media, with a third of them using it “almost constantly.”

In his conversation with Cruz, McGraw said parents should be wary of their children’s social media exposure, especially because we don’t understand the longterm affects. “If you get them to h**e themselves, be questioned about who they are, what they are, what’s that going to do to the next generation and the next generation?”

What would you do? Tissues

This has been around before. In this day and age, we tend to forget the unfortunate and how our actions can have a major influence on their life.






Two Choices,

What would you do?....you make the choice. Don't look for a punch line, there isn't one. Read it anyway. My question is: Would you have made the same choice?





At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves children with learning disabilities, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question:



'When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does is done with perfection.



Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do.



Where is the natural order of things in my son?'

The audience was stilled by the query.





The father continued. 'I believe that when a child like Shay, who was mentally and physically disabled comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child.'





Then he told the following story:





Shay and I had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, 'Do you think they'll let me play?' I knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but as a father I also understood that if my son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.





I approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance and said, 'We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning..'





Shay struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt.. I watched with a small tear in my eye and warmth in my heart. The boys saw my joy at my son being accepted.





In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three.



In top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as I waved to him from the stands.



In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.





At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.





However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make contact.





The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly toward Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.





The game would now be over. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.





Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman's head, out of reach of all teammates.

Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, 'Shay, run to first!





Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base. He s**mpered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.





Everyone yelled, 'Run to second, run to second!'



Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base.



By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball. The smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero of his team.





He could have thrown the ball to the second baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman's head.





Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home. All were screaming, 'Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay'





Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, 'Run to third!





As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, 'Shay, run home! Run home!'





Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team





'That day', said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, 'the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world'.





Shay didn't make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making me so happy, and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!





AND NOW A LITTLE FOOTNOTE TO THIS STORY:





We all send thousands of jokes through e-mail without a second thought, but when it comes to sending messages about life choices, people hesitate.





The crude, vulgar, and often obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion about decency is too often suppressed in our schools and workplaces.



If you're thinking about forwarding this message, chances are that you're probably sorting out the people in your address book who aren't the 'appropriate' ones to receive this type of message Well, the person who sent you this believes that we all can make a difference.





We all have thousands of opportunities every single day to help realize the 'natural order of things.' So many seemingly trivial interactions between two people present us with a choice:





Do we pass along a little spark of love and humanity or do we pass up those opportunities and leave the world a little bit colder in the process?





A wise man once said every society is judged by how it treats its least fortunate amongst them.





You now have two choices:





1. Delete



2. Forward





May your day, be a Shay Day.



MAY GOD BLESS EVERYONE WHO

DECIDES TO PASS THIS ON.

From One Unapologetic Media H**x to the Next
August 31, 2023
Victor Davis Hanson
American Greatness

Joe Biden lied repeatedly when he claimed he knew nothing of his son H****r’s influence-peddling businesses.

The President further prevaricated that he had no involvement in H****r’s various shake down schemes.

Yet, the media continued to misinform by serially ignoring these facts.

Had journalists just been honest and independent, then candidate Joe Biden might have lost a p**********l debate and even the 2020 e******n. The public would have learned that H****r’s business associates and his laptop proved Joe was deeply involved in his son’s illicit businesses.

Later, as the evidence from IRS whistleblowers mounted, the White House stonewalled subpoenaed efforts and sought to craft an outrageous plea deal reduction in H****r’s legal exposure.

Reporters ignored the Ukrainians who claimed Joe Biden himself talked to them about quid pro quo arrangements.

They again discounted H****r’s laptop that explicitly demonstrated that H****r was whining that he had handed over large percentages of his income to his father Joe—variously referred to as the Big Guy and a “ten percent” recipient on many deals.

They played dumb about Joe Biden’s use of pseudonyms and alias email accounts to hide thousands of his communications to H****r and associates.

They attacked the former Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who now claims Biden was likely bribed by Ukrainians.

Yet the media can no longer hide the reality that the President of the United States likely took bribes to influence or alter U.S. policy to suit his payers. Those two crimes—bribery and treason—are specifically delineated in the Constitution as impeachable offenses.

In denial, the media has instead piv**ed with hysterical glee over various weaponized prosecutions of Donald Trump.

But now, to use a progressive catchphrase, the proverbial “walls are closing in” on Joe Biden.

So will we at last expect the media finally to confront the t***h?

Answer—only if Joe Biden’s cognitive and physical health continues to deteriorate geometrically to the point that he can no longer finish his term or run for ree******n—and thus becomes expendable.

Such a cynical view of the media is justified given their record of both incompetence and unapologetic deceit.

From 2015 to 2019, we were suffocated 24/7 with lies like “Russian collusion,” “Putin’s puppet,” “e******n r*****g” and the “Steele dossier.”

When all such “evidence” was proven to be a complete fraud cooked up through Hillary Clinton’s stealthy hiring of and collusion with a discredited ex-British spy, a Russian fabulist at the Brookings Institution and a Clinton toady in Moscow, did the media apologize for their unt***h?

Was there any media confessional that perhaps Robert Mueller and his leftwing legal team (the giddy media-dubbed “all-stars,” “dream team,” and “h****r k**lers”) proved a colossal waste of time?

Not at all.

Instead, the media went next right on to “the phone call” and “impeachment.”

The country then wasted another year.

The same biased reporters now claimed that the heroic Alexander Vindman had caught Donald Trump fabricating lies about the Bidens—given Joe Biden was a possible 2020 opponent—to force Ukraine to investigate them or lose American foreign aid.

On that accusation Trump was impeached.

Then the t***h emerged that unlike Joe Biden, Trump never threatened to cancel aid, but merely to delay it.

Trump was right that the Bidens were knee deep in Ukrainian bribes and influence peddling.

And that the whistleblower had no first-hand knowledge of the Trump call but was spoon fed a script cooked up by the gadfly Vindman and Rep. Adam Schiff.

The result was journalistic glee that we impeached a president for crimes that he did not commit but exempted another president, Joe Biden, who had actually committed them.

Then came the next h**x of the Russian fabricated facsimile of H****r’s laptop.

The 2020 Biden campaign along with an ex-CIA head rounded up “51 intelligence authorities” to mislead the country into believing that Russian gremlins in the Kremlin had fabricated a f**e laptop.

Ponder that absurd fantasy: Moscow supposedly had created f**e nude pictures, f**e photos of H****r’s drug use, and f**e email and text messages from H****r to the other Bidens.

The media preposterously convinced the country that the Russians and by extension Donald Trump had once again sandbagged the Biden campaign.

No apologies followed when the FBI later admitted it had kept the laptop under wraps for more than a year, knew it was authentic, and yet said nothing as the media and former spooks misled the country and warped an e******n.

Now we are enmeshed in at least four court trials on cooked-up charges that could as easily apply to a host of Democrats as to Trump.

For the last eight years, a discredited media has never expressed remorse for any of the damage they did to the country. And they will not again, when their latest mythological indictments are eventually exposed.

Yeah, pretty sad indeed that out of 330 million people, these are the two that we had to choose between for president. If it comes down to these two again, I'm definitely v****g for Trump.
