Start Something

I have been following Maj Toure and the Solutionary Center for a while. I didn’t really get it until recently. I mean, I understand constitutionalism and second amendment responsibilities, but not what he is really teaching We, the People: responsibility and freedom.

A person who does not understand how to hold a weapon, cannot use a weapon. A person who does not use their weapon, will not respect it. This is the basic underpinning of freedom. Freedom is admired, sought after, and feared. Something that is feared will always come under attack and it is the freedman’s responsibility to protect it from attack.

The second big lesson I was missing was to start something. I thought ownership was enough. I don’t take jobs that don’t provide equity because ownership is the fastest way out of economic poverty. What is the fastest way out of spiritual, social, and political poverty? Just because you own something, does not make you rich in these areas. We see this lesson in Vivek Ramaswamy’s story: he owned and controlled a business but was still a political prisoner while he held onto that control. He had to choose between control over the corporation or control over his social, political, and spiritual life. He chose the latter.

During a time when DEI, ESG, CEI, etc… are all pushing us to fall in line with their ideals, it has become more important than ever to start and maintain your own grind whatever that may be. I have been asked throughout the years to start my own training and advice service - just to get into a building somewhere and educate the people. I have not because, I thought I could never make any kind of an impact. I was wrong.

We all can make an impact. It is Strong Dad June. It is time for the strongest of us to stand firm, stand in our values, and stand on business. I am in contact with a facility. I hope to do my part to educate the people and empower them politically. However, there is no need to wait. I am going to attend every event I can and push the strength that we need in the coming years, the strength with which I have been blessed. If those who have it don’t spread it, those without it will never receive it. That is the work. That is the duty.

Men Protect Communities

It is, of course, Strong Dad June.

Men protect communities. We do not ask for praise or worship thereafter; we simply protect. It is important to remember that as a man one should build oneself, one’s family, one’s vocation, and one’s community. In that order. Without a strong man, a family falls; without strong family support, a man’s vocation falls; without strong leaders, a community falls. This is the way.

When the men of a community are without vocation, the community falls into ruin. Chris Rock, although a comedian, can teach us a lot. He taught that you can tell how well-kept a neighborhood is by who was out in the middle of the day. If women are out in the middle of the day, it is a nice community. If men are out in the middle of the day, it is a community in depravity. Men are with their families or engaging with their vocations, or else no good shall come of their toils.

I found myself called to serve last weekend and shall answer that call in stride. Last Saturday, I found myself - without schedule nor cause - in the company of the leaders for our African American museum. Then a man asked if I would be willing to lend my time to their facilities that I may instruct, inform, and support the people through the current Artificial Intelligence revolution we see around us. I gave it little thought but still more than none.

Then, on Wednesday, I was again placed before the leaders of the museum. These coincidences so close together move me and motivate me to serve my community. The museum’s hours are Saturday 10A-5P; I stopped in with my children. We spoke. We laughed. We thought. We put in WORK. It is up to me to put together the sessions and schedule it. This is the work. This is for the community.

Men: be strong dads; be leaders; be present and protective.

Student Debt Cancellation

This Student Debt Cancellation move is a disgrace to the constitution, our morals, and fiscal responsibilities.
1) Government should provide for the general welfare and defence; this is far too specific
2) Not everyone has student loans
3) Not everyone who has student loans is able to participate
4) A man handles his own responsibilities #StrongDadJune. Get to work!!!

Let's Go Brandon!!!

Strong Dads

It is Strong Dad June! Fatherhood is my most important vocation. Nothing comes close to the importance of and fulfillment from my duties as a father to my children. Nothing.

https://www.youtube.com/@thestrongdadprotocol is the source. From what I can tell, he was the creator of the idea of Strong Dad June. We give entire months for nonsense - complete garbage. We have 1 day for the highest calling a man can serve: fatherhood. This defect is now resolved.

So, what is a Strong Dad? Please, go look at the YouTube linked above. Learn what these men have to say and what they are doing. Take what you can use and apply it to your life; leave the rest. As men, it is up to us to drive our families toward success. Part of success is study; study successful people and take their habits to make your own.

To me, a strong dad sets achievable goals and then executes them. A strong dad does not execute flawlessly - no human can - a strong dad, calls his mistakes, takes criticism as constructive, grows, adapts, and succeeds. This is especially true when it comes to family and children. Full stop.

If you are a man, try to be a strong dad to someone. If you have your own children for whom you are responsible, the choice is clear. If you do not have your own children, you can still be a strong dad. It is up to us to grow the next generation. 80% of the men in prison grew up without a father. Fathers are important.

You don’t have to be a giant for someone to gain an edge by standing on your shoulders.
