FATHERS ARE NEEDED TO SAY NO

 FATHERS ARE NEEDED TO SAY NO

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

 

The breakup of the patriarchal family is often noted as a major weakening of our society and overall harmful to our nation. Usually divorces end with the mother granted custody of the children. This leaves fathers powerless to make daily decisions about their children and exiled from his children’s future. The divorced biological father has few if any rights to influence his children’s development. 

 

Some of the culprits behind this injustice towards divorced fathers are child development experts. Their emphasis on the early nurturing years has obviously put the mother as the primary parent. This leaves fathers as practically unnecessary partners in the family except as sperm donors and financial supporters of the family.

 

The psychological ignorance of the real importance of the father in raising children has had a crippling impact on American families. One in four children in America live in fatherless families. It is hard to fathom experts not underscoring the fathers’ major role in family dynamics. The experts often do not note that children from fatherless families have 85% more problems in school. Fatherless children also have greater incarceration rates and mental health issues such as depression, low self-esteem, greater drug addiction, more suicidal incidents, and poor relationship development. In essence there is a direct relationship between a father’s absence with both daughters and sons having difficulty becoming fully functioning adults.  

 

Fathers are often the only ones to say “no” to their children. They establish boundaries in the child’s early life which directly influences their appropriate behavior as teenagers. The consequences meted out by the father are usually more severe if the behavior is repeated since they can see these actions will lead their children into trouble. The father often focuses more on future development while mothers focus on the day-to-day misbehaving and protecting the feelings of the child.

 

The research on the impact of fatherless homes on female children has received little acknowledgement. Not only boys but girls react strongly to the lack of a father in their daily lives.  On top of the drug and mental health issues, girls without fathers were four times as likely to get pregnant as teens. The father’s presence in a teenage girl’s life helps her understand a male’s thinking and the virtue of saying “no.”.

 

Fathers often have the natural inclination and understanding to stop their children from “crossing the line.” After getting pestered by their child for something they want to do or do not want the mother often says, “I will tell your father if you do not stop,” or “I have had enough.” In either case, the child generally knows the game of harassing the mother is over.  

 

Children learn that their father is usually harder to manipulate than their mother. The maternal instinct to love their offspring is usually stronger in a female that in a male.  Men want to be in command and have their children listen to them. There is usually less need to be loved in a male’s nature and more need to be obeyed. Of course, the concern for future negative behaviors is being downplayed or ignored in our present permissive society. 

 

Today’s children have more evil temptations in front of them, but they have almost no training in how to deal with these situations. Especially in this naïve period of parenting our youth’s fathers are more important than ever. Fathers must toughen up their offspring to bounce back from normal adversity, to learn to walk away from temptation, and to protect themselves from evil. Fathers must teach their loved ones to stay on the straight and narrow road to be successful. The evidence is overwhelming that both boys and girls need a father figure in their home as both parents bring special abilities to their children. Both parents in the home raising the children is optimal. Marriage has become increasingly difficult to navigate with the ridiculous Hollywood expectation of constant bliss. Like all endeavors, in marriage the reality there are peaks and valleys.

 

Our mental health and legal systems should stop their efforts to facilitate divorce. Instead, our experts should do everything possible to assist husbands and wives to realize their differences can be resolved by each learning to forgive and realize each is not perfect or blameless. The “blame game” must be stopped in counseling and in the courts. More time should be requested for the healing process between wife and husband to realize their children will forever bind them. The old saying “for the sake of the kids” should be changed to “for the sake of the family.” 

 

Both fathers and mothers are essential to raise healthy, normal, successful children.

THERE IS NO INSURANCE FOR A TROUBLE-FREE LIFE

 THERE IS NO INSURANCE FOR A TROUBLE-FREE LIFE

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD., Traditional Realist

 

Most Americans believe they could and should have a trouble-free life.  Since 1945 our nation has not experienced a world war or severe national depression like in the 1930s. A high percentage of citizens have lived a high level of affluence from birth. We have been blessed with a high standard of living, political stability and most importantly: freedom. We were living in probably the most wonderful period in western civilization. 

 

Every day working class people in western civilizations have been able to reach a more than comfortable lifestyle. Most of us have become spoiled. There have been some hardships caused by accidents, deaths in the family, and stupid personal decisions like purchasing supposed pleasures like drugs, alcohol, sex vices and overspending. By far most of us have been financially fortunate in our prolonged thriving economy.

 

In the past most people did not have medical insurance. Instead, they paid for medical expenses out of pocket as needed. The federal government and pharmaceutical advertising convinced the public that there were pills, operations, and vaccines to cure any ailment. Medical insurance became so important that many employees would not take a job without it. The USA is only one of two countries that allows ads for pharmaceuticals on tv. Many of us are becoming neurotic about our health so we think a doctor is needed for a hangnail. Insurance can create issues as well as solve them.

 

Instead of “saving for a rainy day” to handle unexpected situations such as illness, breakdown of equipment, or any unpleasant contingencies, many people have decided to insure anything they can. US citizens are taking out insurance to preserve everything from possessions to appearance to every physical ailment known to mankind. We can even insure our pets for health issues. We have become a risk aversion society.

 

Our homes are usually our most expensive possession and can be insured for fire, wind, sink holes, vandalism, leaky roof, and any deterioration caused by nature. Even construction elements in the home can be insured such as electric, plumbing or A/C systems can be replaced for a monthly insurance fee. There are presently companies like Home Shield, that will replace almost any appliance and/or make repairs. 

 

Many young people do not realize there was a period in the past where insurance on major items like boats, homes, or cars was not necessary. Presently we must have insurance to be granted a bank mortgage for a home. Most local governments require us to meet specific building requirements before a person could live in their own home. Insurance has become a standard operational procedure in our modern world not only to protect the buyer but also to cushion any corporate losses. 

 

The trouble is when you take out insurance policies you have to pay for it. The person must pay for the company to perform the service and earn sufficient capital to pay for that. Insurance is not free.

 

This insurance merry-go-round has a major downside. If a person decides they want out of the insurance lifestyle they must accept the fact that life has many risks and if something negative happens they will be on their own to correct or repair it. This reality necessitates a person must control their wants to build a savings account to pay for unforeseen problems.

 

No insurance policy can provide a trouble-free life. Although many individuals are prone to sign an insurance policy so as not to worry about the possibility of something going wrong with a product or even with the health of a person on an expensive vacation. Life happens and we must fight through unexpected adversity until the difficulty is resolved. Life has peaks and valleys. Savings gives an individual security without hassles compared to dealing with an insurance company.

 

Regardless of how much insurance you purchase you cannot possibly predict or buy insurance to cover every contingency life can deal us. Insurance has its limits and can be expensive. The rate of insurance only goes up, never down. 

 

The insurance game is an expensive gamble. If we are paranoid about all things that can go wrong, we can go broke. We cannot buy insurance to live forever or predict what can go wrong in one’s life. Life is a series of problems that must be confronted and solved.  We should have faith in ourselves to solve the problems that life deals us. 

 

No one should depend on living a trouble-free life regardless of the number of insurance policies they possess. Going broke is more of a problem than not having insurance on a particular item.

FRAUDULENT CONSENSUS IS THE MEANS TO TOTALITARIANISM

FRAUDULENT CONSENSUS IS THE MEANS TO TOTALITARIANISM 

By Domenick J. Maglio Ph.D. Traditional Realist

 

The truth is difficult to define. The scientific method was conceptualized to get at what is true and what is not. Every time a person follows the same procedure, they get the same results. The replication of an experiment always has to have the same results. 

 

When you attempt to use the same process with humans, there are too many variables to get the same results every time. This inability to get a definitive answer motivates individuals to present their personal viewpoints which sparks others to do the same. These issues caused people to debate each other, which helps them to refine their ideas and clarify their thinking. 

 

This debate process was the backbone of our voting system. Discussing all sides of an issue raises questions that must be answered before most citizens can arrive at a candidate they want to support. In the past citizens were more politically involved than most Americans are today. Modern voters rarely discuss political issues with friends. Instead, they rely on television pundits to decide who to vote for. 

 

Our revolutionary leaders had to rely on each other to search for answers to arrive at decisions to help them move forward. Our founding fathers in Philadelphia closed the windows of their assembly room so they could discuss, often in heated debate, how to gain independence from England while forming a new government. Leaders from all the colonies presented their political ideas and were questioned by other members how they would handle potential complications. These open forums lasted for months before they hammered out a united method to proceed in this crucial endeavor.  

 

The concept of open debate is a rational way towards arriving at legitimate consensus. This is not an easy or simple process with emotional conflicts over opposing viewpoints. Through rational, controlled debate the delegates learned from each other’s ideas. Each member’s focus became clearer until a strong agreement was reached. 

 

The process of students participating in debates was used effectively in our higher education system, particularly in universities. Opposing ideas were presented and debated. The 

same questioning process used by our constitutional leaders had the same effect. Students learned through this questioning and answering that sharpened their ideas and led others to a higher level of thinking about the issues.  Any false statements were instantly attacked to set the record straight and led participants closer to the truth. 

 

Today too many colleges have made debating illegal by “cancelling” anyone who states the “wrong” opinion. The purpose of Marxist teaching is not to learn how to think since Marxists already have all the answers. Their aim is to indoctrinate students to believe in the ideals no matter how unrealistic. The professors do not have a commitment to search for the truth but to build lock-step consensus. Anyone with a different idea is excluded by dedicated Marxist students or by professors who “cancel them” by removal from the discussion or suffer vicious ridicule. 

 

Even some workers in corporations have been deputized to work as informants against others. If a person feels “offended” by another’s looks or speech the speaker will lose their right to speak the opposing idea. The result is sufficient fear for an ever-increasing self-censorship. 

Everyone in the audience realizes that either you agree with the totalitarian agenda, or you are fired.  Indoctrination does not allow for contrary ideas only those that support Marxism.  In our political world, Marxism has become the state religion.

 

Recently Americans observed this firsthand in the virus epidemic where only politically aligned scientists were allowed to speak while other renown contrary scientists with different evidence were not allowed to air their knowledge. The politics controlled the scientific narrative with no open debate among all scientists, only a select group of them. This process was a political charade, not a scientific one that searches for truth. 

 

Our news media personnel were trained by university professors not to report what actually happened but to push their agenda. These false narratives support the transformation of America from a free capitalistic society into an autocratic Marxist state controlled by intellectual elites. The media elites are an integral part of this change. 

 

The solidarity of the media was essential to undermine the US greatness and to replace it with Marxist “hope and change.” The only way to be successful was for there to be unity in

the lying media. Any contrary media viewpoints had to be cancelled. These press elites created their false narratives for the citizens to accept Marxism. They were propagandized by their professors that their power and fame lay in their pen to drastically alter the history of the United States. Fraudulent consensus has been chosen as the means to crush dissenting opinion in pursuit of national brainwashing of the American public. 

 

We must speak truth to power to revive open debate that will shatter lying, phony consensus to ultimately save our freedom. Forced consensus is a totalitarian tactic.

WE ARE THE FROGS IN THE BOILING WATER WHO NEED TO JUMP OUT AND PROTEST

 WE ARE THE FROGS IN THE BOILING WATER WHO NEED TO JUMP OUT AND PROTEST

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD., Traditional Realist

 

The flames heat the water in the pot continue to be turned up until it is deadly. Americans are witnessing one government-made disaster after another. Our political elites appear to be deliberately creating policies that are un-American dividing the nation into alienated groups. The subverting of our institutions by autocratic decrees is contrary to our sacred constitution. 

 

The radical changes overnight in our 2020 election results was questionable to many voters. It was made clear that questioning the national presidential election was not allowed even though it has always been acceptable in other close presidential elections when the democrats lost. The discussion of voting irregularities was absolutely off limits according to our mass media and democrat party. This was the initial radical step in curtailing our free speech.

 

This administration worked toward the economy’s demise. First there was the stopping of fracking for oil and the closing of our gas pipeline that decreased our supply and increased the price of everything that had to be transported. The price increases across the board squeezed marginal businesses into bankruptcy. This started a downward spiral in our economy. The government response was to print more money that devalued our currency while taxing the doers and giving it to the slackers. 

 

Simultaneously the Covid virus was exploited to take away constitutional freedoms to care for our own health. There were mandated distances between people, required masks and assembly limits even in our churches. Covid vaccine requirements were imposed to continue employment, got out to eat, and to travel. Our bodies became the property of the government to determine which groups of citizens will follow the government edicts or not. 

 

Our freedom of speech was immediately attacked by the democrat media that presented biased, distorted, and massive lying to back President Biden’s actions while not allowing counter information to be aired. They went so far as to begin to employ a government Office of Disinformation to censor and counter information the administration did not want to discuss. This effort to legally punish citizens who exercise their free speech was summarily rejected by the people as entering the world of 1984.

 

The overreach was quickly followed by turning up the flame under the pot. In Uvalde, Texas the slaughter of 19 innocent fourth graders provided President Biden a sleazy opportunity to ban another Second Amendment right of US citizens: the Right to Bear Arms. The attacks on our Bill of Rights are relentless as well as is disarming our border patrol and our urban centers to increase lawlessness and chaos.

 

Our urban police force has been defunded as well as hindered by absurd restrictions from keeping law and order. Antifa and BLM were allowed to riot, destroy property, and attack innocent people without consequence. President Biden constantly emphasized “white racism” when videos showed store looting and physical attacks on others are generally committed by minority teenagers shooting indiscriminately in urban centers. 

The US citizens freedoms are standing in the way of international one-world government elites that desire to control the masses because we believe we have inalienable rights granted to us by God. The loss of individual freedoms is not only happening in the USA but throughout the world. Obviously, the USA is the biggest obstacle being the leader of the free world. If the US collapses, the freedom of all people on earth will suffer. The world is still watching the US for leadership in combatting world totalitarianism. 

 

The US citizens can see every day the pot is boiling more violently. We must jump out now and make our voices heard to show we will fight for our God given human rights. This is the way to save us and the rest of the world from total tyranny. Submission to world slavery is not an alternative. It would be the death of human civilization. We can no longer stay in the boiling in water until we expire.

 

America must ban together with freedom loving people throughout the world. The world’s solidarity is needed to remain free and prevent world enslavement.

 

The US citizens should assemble throughout the nation in front of their local city halls on July 4^th to get our government’s attention by celebrating independence. On July 5^th celebrate “Tech Off Day” by not using any social media, or tech programs for them to realize we do not need them. Our right to assemble is a constitutional right and we need to utilize it. We need to express our determination for retaining our constitution and way of life and take the consequences. Besides, it is better than the slow death of being individually boiled in water. Let us be the example for the world by demonstrating the power of the people over tyrannical leaders.
