A federal judge in Dallas ordered Garrett Miller to remain in custody until he is tried. Miller threatened Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Corte, Majority Leader Schumer and wanted to hang a Capital police officer. 

I think the FBI and a country of police officers love their country and are doing a great job as are the judges. 

No scruples

45 Republicans have no scruples. They are welcome to make fools of themselves with a vote of an unconstitutional bill. 

Paxton needs to go.

How the heck did Texas ever get a carve out from immigration law?

Homeland Security cannot provide special conditions for anyone. Homeland Security is not allowed to change legislation because Texas wants it?

It doesn’t make sense that Texas would receive special treatment without a legislative initiative. Why pass federal law if Homeland Security is going to hand out exceptions to the law? Every state in the country would get in line.

The Biden Administration, as the Executive that makes day to day decisions for the country has a right to assess the state of immigration. The 100

day moratorium is a reasonable decision in order to determine the way forward. 

In addition, there is an emergency at the borders of the Northern Triad. There is a global pandemic. The deportation of people back to these countries will make their emergency worse. There is an obligation the USA has to reduce the pandemic and moving people all over the globe is grossly dangerous.

The 100 day moratorium is the correct decision. This is not a change of law. It is a temporary measure to establish policy. 

Pre-meditated murder

Normally, local commanders of the National Guard have the authority to deploy their troops in case of an emergency that could effect American lives. The Washington Post is reporting that before the January 6th insurrection the commander’s authority was negated by the Pentagon.

The deployment of the National Guard on January 6th newly required higher ranking officers. We know those higher authorities were mostly unavailable. Vice President Pence had to call the Secretary of the Navy to request that authority and deploy the National Guard.

Both, the Inspector General and Congress need to carry out investigations. Major General Walker should be a witness at the impeachment. The insurrection was planned and expected to kill people that day.

It was all premeditated with fatal outcomes. There is at least one traitor in the Pentagon. Was someone holding a gun to his/her head or was it a willing act of sabotage of the USA Constitution.

Politics with the impeachment.

Rand Paul is playing politics with the USA Constitution. Just that simple. There is no real issue as the basis of his nonsense. When doesn’t Rand Paul object to gain the spot light regardless the issue at hand.

He is fueling “an enemy” imagine of the Democrats. He either is mimicking Trump or more like it his “style” if you will was mimicked by Trump. At any rate Rand is “acting out” and will seek to divide the Senate and the country. He is an enemy to the USA Constitution and the people that want their problems solved.

Young men and boys

In observing boys at play on playgrounds they are very physical. They use balls and goal posts of one kind or another. They are missing that growth dynamic during the pandemic. They would miss it even if they were at school because they are required to play in small groups to prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants. 

When I reflect on that growth dynamic during this time a support group always comes to this issue. The difference between schools that still conduct in person classes and those that don’t is an invisible support network for the boys. So, what is best?

In observing children and young adults in the classroom during instruction the computer is there anyway. President Obama instituted a national directive to connect children to online education about a decade ago, so the idea the learning distance is the problem during the pandemic is completely wrong.

My experience with boys and young men is that they have a unique way to have an autonomous identity regardless of what is expected of them. That autonomy works well for them but they fight aloneness through physical activity in the way of a competitive spirit. That competitive spirit is a benevolent part of their identity. 

A couple of things come to mind for boys. I have learned that in a classroom boys that are not doing well are more physical and mischievous. That unruliness is not a permanent condition. In educating boys a one on one to review the teaching will resolve that physical drive.

I rarely victimize a boy by shaming or sending them to the principal and only if the mischief is very disruptive and dangerous. What transpires is a one on one to teach while other students are working at their desk. Inevitably, the one on one triumphs and my troubled boy takes his seat with the rest of the class to complete his work.

That one on one is magical because it tells the entire class that I care about them and no learning has to be perfect or get a bad grade. After a one on one with a student in full view of the class others children will come to my desk asking for assistance in “getting the lesson right.” It is not cheating, they have to demonstrate a sincere understanding of the lesson. Percentage wise it is usually less than 10 percent of the class requiring help to “get it right.” They are all great young people some need help in “getting it right.”

That said, boys during the pandemic are missing there “playground support group” that assists their identity. I think that is a national shame. Just because a poorly addressed virus is secluding children from playground friends and their sport coaches there is no reason to consider it is okay “for now.” “For now” is forever when boys require validation to achieve their emotional growth. 

So what do we do? Ask Tom Brady to do a series of football lessons for young men in high school and boys and the occasional girl. Then broadcast it or put it on “The Mirror” or “Zoom” WITH their hometown coach. It will put a new and novel way of understanding their desire to play a sport. They can practice on their own in measurable “reps,” etc. Reporting in to “the coach” individually or on Zoom will bring validation to their competitive spirit.

The same dynamic can be exercised with most sports that do not require large equipment such as gymnastics. Even gymnastics can be accommodated to a certain extent. There is absolutely nothing wrong with competing against a “personal best” so long as there is no risk for injury. To that end, limits have to be placed to respect the limit of a body to perform. Even Tom Brady knows that pushing past human limits can end a career.

Boys need the physical component to their growth in many cases. If they seem bored in practicing alone, they can teach Dad or Mom how to make the grade.

That is my input for what it is worth.
