Have you visited all churches and listened to all sermons or are you yet again talking straight from your rectum?

Your ignorance remains astounding.

But he added the findings raised other concerns. "We're not getting herd immunity, we're not building up protective immunity to Omicron," he said. "So we face not coming out the other end of infections and re-infections and breakthrough infections."

According to this, not only does Omicron not give immunity to Omicron, it might actually make you *more* susceptible to future Omicron infections.

One of the very good guys

Sorry to hear.  I enjoyed his observations when he was part of the duo on PBS, with David Brooks.  He had class, wit, and deep wisdom.

Today many of us honor our fathers.  But we should mourn the fact that one in four American children do not even have a father in the home to celebrate with.

Our society has yet to come to terms with an obvious fact: Nearly every social ill plaguing our communities stems from (or is severely exacerbated by) not having a father in the home. Children with absent fathers are four times more likely to be poor. They are twice as likely to be obese, twice as likely to drop out of school, and twice as likely to die by suicide. They are ten times more likely to abuse chemical substances and 32 times more likely to end up homeless. And they are three times more likely to be incarcerated.

Fatherlessness has given rise to the greatest challenges facing modern society. And yet, the subject is strangely absent from policy conversations in Washington. Instead, legislators argue over how to tackle the symptoms of disease (e.g., poverty, crime, homelessness, etc.) rather than the disease itself (fatherlessness).

 Nice sounding sentiments and platitudes about "cultural" change.  Such talk is cheap.  What specific actions, to be started right now, do you suggest?

Poverty isn't just a symptom.  It's a social ill that is also a cause of single parent homes.
That's why it's called " the cycle of poverty." You break a vicious circle by interrupting it.

Boy mayor has killed his cred - though lining his pockets.  He should be quite proud.

Fatherless Statistics




Eighty percent of teenagers admitted to psychiatric hospitals come from fatherless homes. Fatherless children are 100 to 200% more likely to have emotional and behavioral problems. A child from a fatherless home is 68% more likely to use drugs or alcohol, far more likely to become sexually active at an early age, and three times more likely to commit a violent crime.

Sixty-three percent of teenagers who attempt suicide come from fatherless homes. Seventy-one percent of children who do not finish high school come from fatherless homes. Ninety percent of our homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes. Fatherless sons are 300% more likely to become incarcerated and stay in juvenile institutions.

Fatherless daughters who marry have a 92% higher divorce rate, and fatherless sons are 38% more likely to experience marital failure. Fatherless daughters are 53% more likely to marry as teenagers. Fatherless daughters are 111% more likely to have children as teenagers, and they are 164% more likely to have an out-of-wedlock birth. Eighty percent of all sitting in prison today grew up in fatherless homes.

You might have benefited from meeting your father, ward.

Secretary Pete is at the far right edge of reasonable politics. Anyone to the right of him is inherently mentally defective.

Happy Juneteenth.

Since Lyndon B. Johnson launched the War on Poverty nearly 60 years ago, we have spent more than $22 trillion on social welfare programs. And what do we have to show for it? Stagnating wages, an even larger gap between rich and poor, the highest out of wedlock birth rate in US history, and millions of Americans on food stamps.
Almost always the answer to any of the above problems is more funding. More funding for schools, more funding for healthcare, and more funding for social programs across all levels of government. But if the persistence of poverty over the last several decades has shown us anything, it is that more funding  is often as futile as bloodletting. Why? Because none of these programs, as well intentioned as they are, address the root cause of our social dysfunction.

Fatherlessness.

Whoever you lifted that from looked right past industrial and now digital capitalism, corporate greed and endemic corruption under cross and flag, the kind of imaginary pastor Kid alluded to a few posts back.

It is no surprise you never became lovable at any point in your life. The chance went when you failed to ever become faithful.
