Personal Responsibility Is Key

Far too often these days, I find celebrities that are liberals voting for Hillary. Now, I am all for people having the right to vote for who they want and have no issue with some debate about why our views differ. What I do have issue with is those that refuse to accept the facts of the situation.

A little girl begged the city council to stop black people from getting shot. Yvette Nicole Brown posted that video on Instagram and got the following feedback.

While it's a bit of an over generalization...he's not wrong. In almost every case where a person of any race was shot/killed by police the details that emerged after the fact were quite damning. The "victims" are lifelong criminals, they were refusing to cooperate, they displayed a weapon, they attacked police. I cannot abide these folks that will not take responsibility for their own actions.

I particularly despise people that take the side of the criminals when they are killed for engaging in this sort of risky or illegal behavior (see below).

If you expect to see a change in your community, you have to first start with the people inside that community. Stop the black on black crime that is killing way more of your people than the cops are. Why are you more outraged about a criminal being killed by a cop than you are about an innocent mother and child being gunned down for being in the wrong place at the wrong time in their own neighborhood?

It's clear that black lives only matter if it helps them claim racism by the police. Such a farce that movement has become. Nobody takes you jokers seriously. You will never stop violence by creating more violence. Especially when your retaliation is against people that had nothing to do with the original (perceived) offense.

Far be it from me to stop you from ruining your life, I'm only your mother!

3rd week of school and the inevitable has happened. I got an email from one of Josh's teachers because he is failing to do his work. I should have expected it but I'm extremely disappointed. I've had several conversations with him about being truthful with me and not lying about anything. Apparently, that means nothing. Lying is one thing that I absolutely cannot tolerate and my son has been lying to me every friggin' day!

Every day I ask if he has homework and he says NO. I even check his agenda and his backpack to make sure there aren't things he has "forgotten" about and there is never anything in there but the occasional graded paper. This means that he's purposely omitting his assignments from his agenda so I won't know that he's not doing his work until it's too late! This must stop right now! I'm so sick of spending every school year, checking his grades online, digging through his pockets and backpack, looking for homework that just isn't there. I don't know what he is doing with it but he's NOT bringing it home.

I don't understand why anyone would want to fail simply because they didn't try. That is probably my 2nd biggest pet peeve...people that don't even try. Being lazy about something that is so simple really makes me angry.

At what point do you say "If you want to ruin your life, be a moron, flunk out of school and live on welfare forever...that's your problem". I don't know how much more of this I can take. If things don't change soon, something drastic may have to happen. Anyone know any good military schools? I'm not kidding! :(
