1619 Project

The New York Times has decided to rewrite our history books and indoctrinate our children with something called the 1619 Project. I was warning my granddaughter to look out for this brainwashing when my daughter, her mother, piped up saying that she has read about this project and found it worthwhile. To see what this 1619 Project really is, it is best to go to the source: NY Times explanation. Read and reflect, then we will go on.

One of the first pushbacks to the notion that our 13 colonies revolted against England in order to preserve slavery was published in The Atlantic magazine (of all places) which quotes many historians disputing this NY Times smear ... see: NY Post critique.

Next, that flaming liberal, Andrew Sullivan, pushed back even harder in the New Yorker magazine (of all places) ... see: Andrew Sullivan critique.

Enough? So The NY Times begins to backtrack on their absurd claims ... see: Legal Insurrection blog post. But, is this enough since much of this liberal propaganda has already been insinuated into the curriculum of many of our school systems? Probably not.

So, the Trump administration is pushing back by promoting the 1776 Project ... see: 1776 Project.

But, has the damage already been done? My test will be if my daughter, after she reads this blog, changes her tune.

Death Panels

Sarah Palin warned us about the coming death panels under Obamacare. Now, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel (brother of Rahm Emanuel, now Mayor of Chicago, but President Obama's former Chief of Staff) has indicated that he wants to die at the age of 75 ... see: UK Daily Mail Article. And, as it turns out, Dr. Emanuel was one of the chief architects of Obamacare and has been a very vocal advocate of its "benefits" ... usually on MSNBC. His rational for this headline-grabbing article in The Atlantic was that, at 75 years of age, people are " feeble, ineffectual, even pathetic."

Now, as it turns out, I am 75 years old and, although I may be ineffectual, feel neither feeble or pathetic ... and I have refused to give my permission for my family to "pull the plug" on me when I am sliding home. I want to live as long as I am aware of things. Now Dr. Emanuel is only 57 years old so it is a little easier for him to harbor such a death wish ... but I suspect he might have second thoughts in another 17 years. I am also sure of is that I would not like to have him on my Obamacare-decreed death panel. This current administration controls too much of my life as it is. I really don't want them deciding when and how I croak.

Afterthought: Just did some Internet snooping. I think that Ezekiel Emanuel's parents are both alive ... Dad Benjamin is 87 and Mom Marsha is 81. I wonder how they feel about Zeke's comments dissing old people?
