Real Men, regardless of sexual orientation, face up to the challenge is thrust upon them. And that goes double when they become a parent.

If there are people (And in his case, hundreds of million) depending on your actions and leadership, but you decide to go for paternity leave rather than work and fix the problem, you are a failure as man.

Nobody forced you to accept the position of Secretary of Transportation. Nobody put your nuts in a vise and threatened you with a plumber’s torch if you did not became the person in charge overseeing the efficient movement of people and good across the nation. You could have said no and go on with your life.

But you said yes and were suppose to put your fellow Americans above personal concerns or wants. You were supposed to do want millions do every day when they go to work for the sake of the country and its citizens. Like marriage, you took the position for better or for worse and you have to be dumb enough to have believed that no crisis would be waiting for you when the President that chose you used the rescue of the road infrastructure as campaign promise.

And real men realize that if they can’t do the job of caring for others, they must step aside and let somebody who can do his job take over. There is no shame in accepting limitations, but there is absolute embarrassment on repeating the same useless behavior because you cannot accept your failure and rather see the people in the country you swore to protect and defend suffer because you are an incompetent fool placed in a position for political decoration.

You have a son? Then leave him an important legacy: To know you did the right thing for him and his future rather than use him as an excuse to hide your uselessness in the position that you chose to serve.

You adopted a human being, not a political prop.  Be a man by being a real parent.

See, it doesn’t matter what you say about him, he’s richer than you.

For instance, I could say Mark is a scumbag who is part of the problem I’ve blogged about in the past, wherein the value of stocks has become disconnected from the output of a company.

This has lead to companies, like Boeing as an example, where management has prioritized shareholder value through stock manipulation instead of growing the business by producing quality products, which ultimately causes companies to fail and working people in those companies to suffer.

But my criticism of Mark and how his style of money making has severely damaged this country falls on deaf ears because he can drive away in a car that costs as much as my house.

An old method of organizing a society, one that is not healthy or sustainable, is “might makes right.”

The modern equivalent is “wealth makes right.”

It doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you end up rich, it’s fine.

Except that attitude has destroyed countless lives in middle America.

We are living through what is the near zenith of this attitude and were about to come apart at the seams.

At least elites in the past has a sense of noblesse oblige, to build a decent society while they got rich.

Today it’s “I got mine, fuck you.”

I’m fine with not owning a Lamborghini.

I’m happy with a Ford Mustang and a pickup truck, because at the end of the day I can honestly say I’ve never hurt anyone with how I made my money.

If you live in the south, you are probably familiar with the Waffle House Index.

Waffle House restaurants are open 24/7.

If a major storm, like a hurricane comes through,  they are usually the last to close and the first to open.

They actually have a crisis team to go into disaster areas and get Waffle House restaurants back up an running.

The Waffle House Index is a tongue in cheek but very real measure of how an area is doing by how many Waffle House restaurants are closed and/or are serving only their limited crisis menu.

If you want to know just how badly the Biden Administration fucked this country, this is a good metric:

Waffle House had to go to its crisis menu without there being a natural disaster.

Yeah, it’s that bad.

It’s a nice cool morning.  Thought I’d mow the lawn.  The gas can was empty so I went to Harris Teeter (NC subsidiary of Kroger) for gas.

The pickup was empty too so I figured I’d kill two birds with one trip to the pump.

A pickup and a lawnmower cost $89.02 to fill with regular pump gas.

Fuck Joe Biden.

Fuck that senile pudding brain old pervert.

As if the whole cluster in Loudoun County couldn’t get worse…

Virginia law requires public schools to report specifically named serious crimes.

Rape is obviously a serious crime on that list.

But the Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) has refused to report those. They have a clean record.

Unbelievable… – Nobody Asked Me… (oldnfo.org)

Father wants to address the school board and other parents about how his daughter’s rape in school was hid from the public and the law and gets arrested for his efforts. The school transferred the rapist to another school where he repeated his performance with yet another victim

Does hiding crime in schools sound vaguely familiar? You may remember another school angel whose criminal actions were constantly whitewashed by the school, system and the resource officers so the school wouldn’t have bad reputation. Unfortunately, little angel finally met somebody who stood against his criminal behavior and now is worm food.

Good old Trayvon Martin.

And after raping two girls, I hope the youthful sex offender meets a similar fate soon.

I was very impressed.

I swear I never thought there were this many Klan members in the city of New York. /sarcasm ends>

I think what irks me the most is that the task force “would like to speak” with the arsonist. What the fuck? Over for coffee and crumpets?   To chat about the latest episode of The View?  Any other skin pigmentation and we would have seen a task force comprised of the NYPD, FBI and ATF.

We know the answer, don’t we?
