“The majority of births to millennials are to unmarried women. Yet, according to a 2018 Cigna study, single parents are generally the loneliest Americans.”

WOW!

I agree with that. It is disheartening to see a family walking down the street with mom, dad and teen child all looking down at their devices.

Why don’t they all turn them off and talk with one another?

Idk, except that random sex doesn’t seem to making people happy, in the big picture.

From about 37 minutes to 42 minutes into the video linked below, Professor Jonathan Haidt tries to explain how cell phones and internet social media have affected kids. (Jonathan Haidt is probably not a conservative, and I'm not sure he is heterosexual, but he has some interesting things to say.)

Send these numbskulls back to 1520 and let them see.

Indeed one of the greatest values of reading or listening to history books is to realize how lucky we indeed are.

Bill O’Reilly’s “Killing” series is a great place to start.

the 30 something brother of my dtrs HS friend just committed suicide...by all accounts, successful and well liked.....we've had two football players kill themselves locally in the last two yrs......

maybe its because our society being manipulated by our leftist media pushes the narrative that everybody has got to be HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY all the time which is just plain nonsense... if they're not HAPPY 24/7 they think there's something wrong with them....

and no,not everybody has to have a girlfriend or a boyfriend to be happy or be rich or be super popular...

our young people think life is one big party not that its hard,and difficult...

I think we need to teach the young people that its okay to be sad sometimes or to be quiet or disappointed at other times....they don't have to be "on" all the time..and that its NORMAL ....

in that vein, I think its important to stop the all day, everyday doomer media invasion in our lives....even conservative media can drive you crazy....

I believe in action , but sometimes you just have to live your life and be happy....that might mean watching the nfl or going to target....

If one looks beyond what the media is touting as the next doomsday and it’s nexus we must expand our thinking...

I have been researching the Pharma industry and it’s satellites (FDA, CDC etc.) for some time now. In particular of late the “CoronaVirus” and it’s origins as well as it’s nature, familiarity to the industry and more. Setting the stage is the very low access to the actual Virus across the board as initially reported. Wuhan is indeed a center of development in China for BioTech, or in other words viruses and other things like them. This is no secret and the outbreak in that proximity comes as no surprise to me. As to how it “escaped” the labs and went into the general population theories being floated initially seemed to focus on people eating bats who were “infected” with it. I know the Chinese are noted for eating just about anything but bats is a new one on the scene. It still leaves the basic question unanswered as to the connection between the carrier (bats) and humans that was proposed. Setting that aside we move to the transmission method between Homo Sapiens, one to another. Most viruses of this type are spread by contact either physical (touch) or via dispersal in a sneeze, cough or other when the infection carried by mucus is inhaled by the recipient. Physical contact by the infected party typical of people wiping their nose or sneezing as an example may allow the virus to “travel” in instances like using a shopping cart that an infected individual had contact with.
Note that the first assumptions of air borne infection and the rush on masks followed this construct. One line of thought took it past this infection path and posited that is was contact with the mucus and discharge from the eyes that allowed for the transmission of the infection one to another. Last an most notable was the “unfamiliarity” of all agencies working on a solution around the world. Suddenly many of them had the viral strain ion their possession and inoculations nearly at hand. In my research over a lot of time this shortened path from identification to solution was abnormally short. My antennae tells me that this may be indeed a false flag utilizing a known viral element of most likely Chinese origin that is highly contagious, or so we have been told. Word is the Chinese already are well down the road of an agent to offset the spread by “inoculating” people but the spread, once again as we are told is outstripping the ability to cultivate and supply it.

I turn back to prior doomsday events like Ebola and others where the hype and fears never matched the actual course of things. Note I am not saying that this is not real, far from it. But the response and expedient cycle of development of this as well as seemingly non associated other happenings in the world gives me pause. Trumps recent deal with the Chinese as well as other things in play like taking down the Central Banking System in which China is a major player are moving as well. The attempt to unseat Trump and keep the Deep State on path to reduce the population and feed Pharma are all in play as well.

So I watch all of these things and more as in what I do I look at cause and effect, outcomes really and this seems very strange to this author. Each must choose their own path in all of this, and certainly it can be disruptive but then so were all of the others supposed Pandemics in Progress that came before this one.

More as information allows, for now minimize contact in crowded situations and use defense hygiene practices where you may provide a contact path if that transmission method is proves (hand sanitizers etc)

The Deep State wants us dead, depressed or compliant and the best offense is a good defense

Trust, but Verify

Because too many in this country have given the proverbial finger to God.
