We were told last week that the court is going to permanently sever the mother's parental rights. CPS will assist us in adapting the young child as our own.
So in every practical sense, we are the legal parents of our granddaughter. She is thriving in our home and under our care.
BTW, my wife and I are 70 and 72 respectively. Retired. Run a working beef cattle farm. This is not an easy thing to do at our age.
And neither one of us believe in the phony baloney scam of climate change the radical Left is pushing.
Now, tell us to our face, Joy Behar, that we don't care about our grandchildren. Tell us you slimy, liberal, coward loser.
I refer everyone to yesterday’s posting of a 1970’s article, which I read when it was first published. The blathering has gone on that long, and the desperation to be believed manifold times, since.
The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing. - Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)
Behar is not an ignorant woman in this case. She is part of the con job. She is old enough to have lived through 60 years of failed apocalyptic predictions, and yet she soldiers on. She is part of the con.
Actually, that was a composite quote from the movie Ghostbusters (1981), which was a comedic Biblical reference.
Pensions? If I can make it this month without over spending my family budget I will breath in relief. Screw you Joy. Must be nice getting paid to lecture others.
Thank you. I noted the Adam Smith writing dated 1759. My paternal forebears landed in Philadelphia from Switzerland on Friday, November 9, 1750. They settled in York County, PA on a 50 acre Land Warrant from the Penns. I love history.
Sane people are concerned about things that actually matter.

Here’s another quote that correlates, IMHO, with Smith’s:“The republican principle demands that the deliberate sense of the community should govern the conduct of those to whom they intrust the management of their affairs; but it does not require an unqualified complaisance to every sudden breeze of passion or to every transient impulse which the people may receive from the arts of men, who flatter their prejudices to betray their interests.” ― Alexander HamiltonThe great problem the Republic faces, I suggest, is that technology starting with the wire services has facilitated, not “wisdom and caution” but "the arts of men, who flatter the people’s prejudices to betray their interests.”It’s difficult to imagine the Democrat Party as we know it without “the media” journalism cartel to which it is joined at the hip.
