Agree 100 percent but let's not hold the parent blameless in this scenario.

When I listen to Mitch McConnell I could scream : Drop the hot potato you have in your mouth! LEARN TO SPEACK Mitch, you have a mouth full of lies. Since when are you a MIND READER? Now you "Know" what president Trump was Thinking? And who on earth are you to Ascertain that P. Trump is 'MORALY" responsible to what has happened on January 6? Who gave you the "moral authority"? Maybe you should look into your soul first as it is "black with stains" You are a hypocrite, you are a liar, you are a JUDAS traitor. Why do you not have ASKED Nancy Pelosi and Schumer as to when they received a call from the Capitol Police where they asked for protection but PELOSI NEVER RESPONDED, then there was a second call and YOU, AND SCHUMER WERE ALSO ON THE LINE.. NO, NO RESPONSE TO Capitol security... WAS IT A SET UP? or were you so negligent as in most cases that you are only all preoccupied about when the next check comes? Why have you never asked MITT ROMNEY of his involvement in the UKRAINE, same as Hunter BIDEN? Why did your Chinese wife E. Chao resigned the day after? Perhaps she wanted to be "friends with Biden" in order to continue with the CHINESE BUSINESS DEALS?

you all have plenty of dirtily laundry, and skeletons in the closet, and HOW DARE YOU QUESTION THE "MORALS" of President Trump? Are you so anxious to keep your "money making machine" that you make deals with Schumer (same as a pact with the devil""

When will, WE THE PEOPLE SEE, some honorable people in POLITICS? When will you learn from JOHN NEWTON who as a Slave Trader repented and composed AMAZING GRACE, taking the melody from the signing from the Slaves aboard of the ship. He CONVERTED AND WROTE

" AMAZING GRACE, HOW SWEET THE SOUND THAT SAVED A WRECK LIKE ME. I ONCE WAS LOST, BUT NOW I AM FOUND, WAS BLIND BUT NOW CAN SEE"

When? Mitch McConnell and so many corrupt politicians will be able to SING AMAZING GRACE? when, WE THE PEOPLE, will be blessed to see our beloved US free of crooks? free of cowards, or corruption? And When Biden says "I am devote Catholic" but approves murdering babies at time of birth, then we are more given Grace to the Devil than GOD.

I have to admit as I was once told: "If Christianity was intended to be easy or be convenient, it would not have been build on CROSSES and MARTYRS"

I, and many, will not stop watching and denouncing the wrong doings. GOD IS STILL A FRIEND OF THE USA, and HE is in control!

Hello! welcome to China USA. With another 1.9 TRILLION added to our national debt we are sad to announce that we owe the grand total of 28 TRILLION. China is eating lobster and we may soon just be happy to eat rice. I may be too old to learn how to speak Chinese, I could hardly learn how to eat rice with chopsticks! Sad...Sad...reality!

I read that, and shook my head. The school failed, sure, but the biggest failure in that kid’s life was his parent(s)... how could “your” kid go through four years of school and you not know something was up?

Bull

Shit!

Be involved in your kid’s life. Don’t look to others to raise your children - they are YOUR children and YOUR responsibility. It is YOU who failed.

Stop pointing fingers at the school system.

I pray for your child - and pray you don’t have more kids to fail as a parent with...

Dear Ben Stein

Hi Ben, This is my book. as of today It has not been "burned" I just ordered a few more, just in case. I would hope you will order the book at Amazon "THE VINEYARD" - A Life of Faith and Travel" Much about faith, I started to write while I was in Saudi Arabia when I was told " do not ever ask for a Christian Church" I understood. "if you go to Rome do as the Romans do" every morning fist thing I walked out of my apartment and there is was! the almighty RED SEE. I always thought it was just a little pond, when GOD PARTED THE WATERS TO LET THE ISRAELITES FREE. I made the RED SEE my Cathedral where I prayed every morning.

Now here in the USA, I realize that perhaps we have more LIEARS than in any other parts of the world. Congress Lies to us like when a little kid takes a candy out of the Yard. Almost every politician is a liar, The Thousands and thousands of lobby people lie left and right. Just yesterday we are all lied about the $1.9 Trillion "COVID RELIEF $" when only a 10% of the $1.9 Trillion goes for Relief. The Rest is to RELIEF their anxiety that we conservatives will take back the House in 2022. They have reserved $ 300 BILLION for to fund their "Political Campaign" and allocated $100 Billion for a "slush fund" to cover up their crimes.

HOW CAN WE EVER TRUST EACH OTHER IF WE DON'T ALWASY TELL THE TRUTH? Lying is a terrible sin, not only it is a sin, but t destroys our ability to trust one another.

Being lied and cheated every day, being inundated with false narrative with no other intension that to DESESTABILIZING America. But in spite of all our darkness GOD LOVES AMERICA, HE loves all sinners everywhere, that is who HE was, Is and will always be, The Great Lover!

Let History write that the greatest awakening in world history broke out in 2021. We ask for it to happen in the authority of Crist. Amen

BEN: lets find some amazing people that will have the GUTS to build our own SERVICES. We shall NOT be subject to the OLIGARCHS with fat bank accounts to control our writings, or words, and our prayers. I am with you. Need help? count on me. I am just a humble person who was fortunate to have been raised by TWO PARENTS, HIGH MORAL VALUES, HARD WORK, DISCIPLINE AND COURAGE. Have been fortunate to travel the world and learn from so many Idiosyncrasies. Here I am now, almost feeling I am wasting my time. I am no longer employed, and fell sick to listen to so much corruption and lies.

Sincerely

Martina Schonfeld

I posted a comment on an article byGlenn Greenwald back in October, saying that I was frightened to live in this country for the first time in my life. Now, I’m just angry and MOTIVATED. Your newsletter and a few others that I’ve subscribed to(btw, I’ll pay for it just as I do for the Daily wire and Mr. Greenwald’s.😁), are some of the bright spots in an increasingly narrow world.

I vehemently work against Socialism. I have witnessed the destruction of a few countries. I am from South America. Venezuela at one time was the envy of neighboring countries. Had the highest per capita income on the entire region. Great roads, good cars and the only almost free was the Gasoline as they are an oil rich country. What happened and fast? Hugo Chavez, in my opinion a "dictator" promised every thing FREE; education, housing, health care (sound familiar) No country can survive on just free... free!!! somebody has to pay for the goods. As común in all dictators they claim "I am one of you" "I work for the poor". When he died he had 6 private airplanes under his name.

Today the Exodus of Venezuela sums over 4 Million people, and the ones who are there can not even get Milk or Diapers for free as THERE IS NONE!!!

Further South Argentina (my country of birth) was during the great depression the country who had food for the entire world.. A country of rich resources. My German ancestors worked hard, never a "freeloaders" That was 100 years ago. It is a long story how a Country to whom God has given everything lost so much! All was Plentiful until a "Verbal Dictator" came to power, a man called Peron, who start calling our workers "los descamisados" "the shirtless" and the CANCER BEGAN. AND SPRED. Then, 94 % of all Argentinians had European Blood : Italy, Spain, Germany, French +++ did call Argentina Home. Today we have a Socialist Government who still believe there are "Europeans, and nothing can change them from being "Fascist to be Socialists" All Promises but NO delivery. Money had devaluated about 60 times since the early 1940 Today there are no Investments, the country has NO US Dollars to even buy the Russian Vaccine. SOCIALIMS is DESTRUCCION. Most of who want Socialism HAVE NEVER BEEN LIVING IN A SOCIALIST COUNTRY. I have.
