A few comments on recent Substack posts! Theatre funding, woke Maoist struggle sessions, and standing up for President Trumps moves.
I really enjoy engaging with people on the Substack app.
We are officially six weeks into the golden age in the arts and Clifton is decrying the move that President Trump made in regards to the Kennedy Center.
It saddens me that he believes the same people who cancelled him for not getting vaccinated should be trusted to shepherd our nation to a theatrical renaissance.
The gatekeepers entrusted with dolling out the taxpayer money to fund theatre have been credibly accused of bias against conservative artists, directors, and producers.
I believe if they were allowed to continue in leadership, nothing would change and they would do everything possible to sabotage President Trumps artistic agenda.
I would like to see all of the Arts cut off from Taxpayer funds for one year, and then if theatrical companies can prove they have 50 % conservatives in leadership and as part of their organization, we can talk about government arts money and how it should be spent.
You do not hear about conservative musicians because they have been chased out of the industry.
Each individual has to determine how much human capital can be spent in a given situation.
I am MUCH more inclined to take this approach with my adult children who are in varying stages of woke because I value tremendously our relationships and want to enjoy our time together when we gather.
That being said, they all know where I stand politically and even though I mostly take the silence pacifist approach when we are together, it has been worth it to me to listen quietly to “keep the peace”, as the varying struggle sessions have played out over the years.
I know as they mature they will shake off the propaganda and Maoist tendencies and gradually move to the right.
I have heard it been said that a Conservative is a parent with a 12 year old child.
It is while nurturing a 7th grader through that most difficult year that many moms and dads start to grasp how important all of this is. It is in the 7th grade that most people decide how they are going to engage with the world. I believe it is the ideal year to homeschool, especially a son, so that he can fortify himself for the harshness of engaging with mean girls.
And if that child decides to spend a year lying in the fetal position sucking his thumb, parents should not despair. Males, particularly white males, have truly been slayed by cancel culture. As a mother to three white males I have done everything in my power to help my sons navigate this mosaic of feminist hell as they have taken their place in adulthood.
It is NOT easy. Boys are expected to hand their nuts over to their wives, so she can tuck them in her purse for safe keeping as she makes all decisions, both how they will spend the money and how they will engage socially. And if he deviates politically or religiously from whatever is important to her, there is hell to pay.
I have been heartsick over all of the divorces being reported as lefty wives abandon their families because husbands voted for President Trump.
Sick and demoralizing.
As we slowly start to recover from the Marxist era, I pray many of these families will reconcile and heal.
So much needless suffering, especially for the children in these broken homes.

Maybe we should give the Trump administration a year or two to let their policies be given a chance to work before we get needlessly distracted by the ARMY of fake bots and those breathlessly reporting on their “hate”, making everyone think Trump supporters are a bunch of nuckle dragging wing nuts.
As one of the founding mothers of the Tea Party movement I have been called a far right racist since 2009.
It has been five weeks Monica.
I am so weary of it all.
President Trumps common sense approach is going to fix everything.
Everything.
Please, stand back and watch it all unfold in real time as our society quickly decouples from the madness hoisted upon us.
Breathtaking and miraculous on every level.
