When I read about the young man getting stabbed to death at a high school track meet by another student and watched the interview with his dad talking about him and the whole situation, I cried. It takes a lot for me to cry over things such as this. Listening to how he described his son and their last words together. It was how he spoke and seeing his mind and body struggle between trying to be strong and the pain of grief, it got me.

His son was stabbed to death sitting in the wrong seat on the bus. He was stabbed in the heart and died in his twin brother’s arms while he tried to save him. If you didn’t know this happened, you can probably figure out why when you look it up. His father has publicly stated he has forgiven the student who killed his son. Stating his faith in God and that forgiving is for him, for his peace.

Karmelo Anthony, also 17, has been charged with 1st degree murder and no set bond.

Austin Metcalf is the young man who was killed. Stabbed to death over a seat the other student wanted and died in his brother’s arms. Is their any excuse for this? Is anyone saying Austin’s name?

A three or four year old was kicked out of a nursery school in the U.K. for accused of being transphobic and/or homophobic…..um, okay.

And apparently this is not an isolated case. It turns out dozens of elementary students were being suspended or expelled for allegedly being transphobic and homophobic This included 10 students under the age of seven. The case with the three or four year old evidently happened during the 2022-2023 academic year but is just now made public. That’s interesting.

J.k. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books, has openly criticized trans ideology, stated her opinion on the matter. She called the suspension “totalitarian insanity.” She wrote on X, “If you think small children should be punished for being able to recognise sex, you are a dangerous zealot who should be nowhere near kids or in any position of authority over them.” She has boldly proclaimed she would “happily” go to jail if the government of the U.K. made it illegal to refer to someone by anything other than their preferred pronouns.

On another note, the U.K. had made strides to protect vulnerable young people who are confused about their gender identity. Last year puberty blockers were banned after the landmark Cass Review found there wasn’t enough evidence of safe and effectiveness for using the drug long-term.

There are many Healthcare professionals who are afraid to openly discuss their views because then they immediately become vilified on social media, subject to the worst bullying behavior.

Such a time as this….

Anyway, I’ve been reminded that not many people understand my humor, especially in only written form. I’m not sure if I need to add a disclaimer to my posts going forward but my writing comes with a heavy sense of sarcasm plus satire. What I joke about tends to go over people’s heads or they think my remarks are serious and are either confused or surprised by my perceived naivety. I often get ranted on and politically corrected.

So going forward I think I may need to write “sarcasm” in parenthesis after a statement or I may just continue on and keep confusing readers with my remarks, causing them to keep questioning if I’m being serious or not. The latter seems more enjoyable but I know I should still be nice in certain situations to avoid unnecessary debates or rants.
