A Special Birthday
September 27th is the birthday of an activist, you may have heard of.
He strongly protested the way things were and inspired a revolution of change.
Indeed, he has been called the father of that revolution.
While some of you may associate his name with beer, he actually was not successful in that endeavor.
It may surprise you, that at one point in his life, he was actually a tax collector.
Samual Adams was born on September 27th in 1722 in Boston, MA.

Samual Adams was born on September 27th in 1722 in Boston, MA.
In response to:
Samuel Adams was a Founding Father of the United States and a political theorist who protested British taxation without representation, uniting the American colonies in the fight for independence during the Revolutionary War. He was the second cousin of John Adams and the architect of political ideals about liberty and independence that led to the writing of the Declaration of Independence and America’s independence from Great Britain. In his home state of Massachusetts, Adams held a number of political offices, and served as governor from 1793 to 1797.
Samuel Adams was born into an affluent Puritan family on September 27, 1722, in Boston, the largest city in the Massachusetts colony.
His father, Samuel Adams, Sr., was an accomplished merchant, brewer, deacon and political activist. His mother, Mary, was the daughter of a local merchant. Adams’ parents had 12 children, but he was just one of three who survived to adulthood.
He was raised in their home on Boston’s Purchase Street overlooking the colonial harbor. They had hoped he would pursue a career in the clergy, but it was his father’s political activism that sparked Adams’ curiosity.
After his initial education at Boston Latin School, he progressed to Harvard College where he studied the writings of John Locke, the Enlightenment philosopher whose conviction that all individuals were born with certain inalienable rights would form the basis of Adams' political theories about colonial freedoms.
His disdain for British rule over the colonies was also forged by his family’s experience: In 1741, British Parliament dissolved the colonial “land banks,” established to help landowners mortgage their land to gain access to money. Samuel Adams, Sr. had helped create the program and was held liable for outstanding balances.
The British seized much of Adams’ property and finances, gutting the family’s wealth and leading to repeated legal battles that his son later inherited.
Adams was not an instant success after his Harvard graduation. He failed as a brewer when he tried to run his father’s Boston malt business, and was later an unenthusiastic and unsuccessful tax collector.
Politics were his true passion, and in 1748 with his friends he published The Independent Advertiser, a newspaper to promote his opinion pieces, launching a career as a political leader and agitator.
Adams was also building his home life—in 1749 he married his pastor’s daughter, Elizabeth Checkley. They lived in his family home on Purchase Street and had six children before her death less than a decade later. He remarried in 1764 to Elizabeth Wells.
As Adams’ family grew, so did his voice in politics. When Britain imposed the Sugar Act of 1764, he wrote a critical response for the colonists in Massachusetts.
The Sugar Act was repealed, but Britain began a succession of harsher taxes, beginning with the Stamp Act, which imposed a tax on all printed documents. Adams joined John Hancock, Paul Revere and James Otis in secret meetings to form the radical group the Sons of Liberty to oppose the taxation without representation.
Violent protests in Boston targeted the homes of British authorities, making it nearly impossible for the British to enforce the Stamp Act.

Life is like a game of chess
Our life is like a game of chess ... only in this life we are both players and chess pieces ... and I say that because we are players when we make decisions ... and we are pieces when "we move" when we implement them ... "Our position is moved / changed" from one place to another .... and so we can gain or lose advantage .... we are also pieces because at any time each of we can be taken out of the game at any time "we can die" but what really matters in the end .... is if our decisions / moves ... will lead to winning or losing the game ..... otherwise we decide what category of pieces we want to be part of .... White or Black .... "I do not mean the color of the skin" .... in any case ... as I said ... what really matters is The end of the game ....

Critical Race(ist) Theory,...
...now being taught at West Point. And also, at taxpayers expense, in many other us and State Government, make work, high pay, well benefited and pensioned "work" places. VERY benefited. How many of you in the dreaded private sector have defined pension plans? Even you pay as you go 401K plans are more rare. Worker Equality? Not really so much.
This bogus racist ultra left wing indoctrination has been part of curricula in our government schools (via third rate US teachers and administrators) and universities for over a decade as well. No surprise this. But in the nation's premier college for army officers?
In leadership courses, officer candidates are said to be required to read the thinly researched, based texts, "Critical Race Theory" and Critical Queer Theory". Same with many other agencies---CIA,, FBI, etc.
One wonders how many of the looters, arsons, violent rioters,---in marxist antifa and BLM, were raised on this behavior changing propaganda.
In some places, Caucasians are made to confess and proclaim the privilege of their White race, and to be contrite on the same. Unconstitutional, and illegal harassment. Little more.
Shades of Mao's great leap backward, his cultural non-revolution, Pol Pot murder think, USSR Political commissars, East German DDR STASI spying on citizens, and so on. All under Communism.
Don't take my words for it. As so often. Get hip.
And vote. For guess whommmmmmmm?

Making A Difference
I was lucky enough to be allowed to
Go on some sports training courses
In the last few years. I met some
Amazing coaches and teachers as well
As great class mates.
We learned how to set up a class with
Training programmes and games. I was
Glad some of the class got jobs out of
It, l would love to be stronger about
What l do with my time. I would really
Love to help other people along in life.
The blog title <making a difference >
Is one of the first things we were
Coached. It is what sets a great coach
Or teacher apart. If you are not going
To apply yourself you may as well stay
At home. Tough, but fair!

It'll start getting cooler...
We all know COVID-19 didn't miraculously go away when it got warmer.
It won't miraculously go away when it gets cooler.
As far as the California wildfires...
Don't expect the weather getting cooler to have any effect.

The main Saul Alinsky think underlying antifa and BLM,...
..., and many altlefties, ...as I've posted, is that things in liberal democratic democracies are so bad and unjust, that any action is justified.
Lies, verbal abuse, arson, violent attacks on innocent others, Bernie and Biden worship, life in Mom's snowflake basement, working as Soros' actor mercinaries, destruction of private property---mostly that of minorities, assault and murder of police, and so much more. Even stealing a red MAGA cap from a seven year old.
My reading of history is that the actions of such movements, and others, on balance and over time, rarely brings desired results. The exceptions include Brave Minutemen kicking King George's hind side two centuries ago. And at great cost, American GI's saving girly Europe from domination by many (real) fascists, twice from the real racist Germans, and occasionally from themselves.
But the many revolutions (Cuba, China, Russia, etc.)---well not so much.
Don't just take my words for it,----well you know the thing. Open those history texts.

Antifa, BLM, and by extension, much of ueberleft think, and behaviors....
....stem largely from limited knowledge bases, and loose argument.
The theory behind the thinking, is that (what they see as fascism) is dangerous, and gains its own momentum, if not challenged in incipient stages of development. So this is the main justification for (violent) actions against those they decide have fascist tendencies. And for using Saul Alinsky tactics to silence others, who even remotely seem not to COMPLETEY share their views. Our way or the highway.
The thinking is so morally correct, they believe, that counter argument of any sort is seen as intolerable. It seems to support low self esteem, often itself from multiple life failures, and envy, of the many, VERY many, who are successful.
And so we also see the self loathing, privilege guilt manifesting as social warrior think, and accompanying victim virtue broadcasting. Then inappropriate pejorative accusations of racism, the phobias, etc. Then it's a short step to violence, as clearly seen in so many US cities.
Apart from their characterizations of exactly what is fascist, widely spun and exaggerated, and therefore historically incorrect, VERY incorrect, these assertions and comparisons do not stand scrutiny as to history. Any comparisons of Western liberal democracies, however right leaning, with real fascism, either in nascent stages of movements, or in final forms, is laughable. The suffering, however considered, of say even Hungary, with Red China under Mao, the USSR led by Stalin, the Kmer Rouge under Pol Pot, most of the East Block, and so many other examples, is overwhelming---usually ending in failed states anyway. What emerges is often much closer to Western liberal democracies (Czech/Slovak republics, Poland, and so on).And ditto for the real fascist states in Italy, Spain, little Portugal and of course Germany. Apples and oranges, except for the ueber leftie sensibilities..
Just count the raw numbers of ruined lives, by starvation, repression, war, and so on, if still not convinced.
Added to this is the fact that this thinking and violence themselves, far more resemble real fascism, than what we see today on the American right. A total end run on the democratic process. As in any one Party state.
But perhaps not so oddly, these radical behaviors, have clearly fueled some limited growth among militia and other such groups, who thoroughly get the big lie, and therefore similarly feel entitled to respond in kind. The germ plasm of national civil conflict. Thanks, BLM and Antifa.
Remember Grandmom's wisdom, that two wrongs don't make a right.
There's much more valid support for this ANALysis, but this ought to get the ball rolling.
Got the helmet and flack vest on for the bullying, vulgarity and other personal abuse, in place of argument. And the lifting of fake news non- journalism/pics, for cut and posts here.
So often seen on our beloved CS. Just watch.
