In the K – 12 education system focuses too much on social engineering/indoctrination versus teaching academics.

All of the trades are evaporating people by age. The average age of a service tech is 55, within 10 yrs it will be common for tradespeople to start around $100K/yr. Service rates will of course also go up, it's what happens when 20 somethings say "work outside in the rain? Yuck. I want to be in an air conditioned office behind a computer screen" (meanwhile those jobs will drop in pay and there will be competition for every one thats available leading to those people asking "would you like fries with that?").

I used the Military to pay for college and at the time it was a good plan. Once the world went woke, I spent a lot of time talking youth out of both the military and college. Things have gotten better, but I am still advising the youth to stir clear of the military and colleges. I have seen people in service industries thrive as long as they are willing to get dirty, work hard and keep to schedules.

If the demonrats take enough seats in the midterms to keep congress locked up the military and colleges will continue to be a waste of time, talent and not worth the costs involved.

The secret of success in life is believing in what you are doing and who you do it for. So far, I see no reason to support the indoctrination centers or a military that protects everyone except Christians.

Yes, the thing about the changes that Trump and his cabinet secretaries have instigated is that they can -- and will be -- reversed by the next Dem Party president UNLESS they get codified into law by the RINOs dominated Congress . . . and they show absolutely no signs of being willing to do that. So it goes.

Don't be surprised if the midterms go their way, and I turn on the Republicans. I will condemn the Republicans for blowing their last chance as long as I live. I see this as our last chance to change a broken system and set the world right. Excuses and promises will no longer work, real changes, real laws or let the system collapse those are our choices.

Yes, they finally figured out that the average trades skills blue collar worker earns more money than they likely ever will with their college degree. Of course the blue collar worker routinely sweats for a living and exerts EFFORT.
