Every person who asks “how do you find the time,” —

1 — it’s a not-so-subtle dig on my priorities.
2 — it’s a self-indictment of your lack of priorities.

Cut out the junk, noise, toxic people, bad TV, laziness. Live your life fully! God gave you the one life!

Woody recently spoke with @SpectrumNews1TX about the families who need our collective help in Kerr County Texas. Two weeks ago, creeks rose rapidly overnight and without warning taking homes with them and leaving families with nowhere to go.

We are preparing to transport RVs over 1100 miles  to provide these disaster impacted families with safe shelter. If you would like to help make that drive possible, please support our Kerr County Texas Flood response fundraiser: https://t.co/zDzHOGJVyJ

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

My story about pulling our son out of NC public schools to homeschool him reached far more people than I expected.

So I owe you the full explanation. Fair warning: it's worse than you think.

1) My son was in a class with many kids that could not speak the English language.

Zero English. None. Not a word.

You might be asking yourself... well, how did lessons occur in the classroom?

I'm glad you asked.

In fact, the way the teachers communicated with the Spanish-speaking only students was by using their personal iPhones as translators, speaking instructions into the iPhones, and the iPhones spitting out the Spanish instructions to the Spanish-speaking students, and then the Spanish-speaking students speaking Spanish into the iPhones, and the English questions/answers coming are read out for the teacher.

If you're exhausted just reading that...good. Now hold that feeling.

Imagine you’re an English-speaking student sitting in that same classroom, like my 5 year old son was.

Every lesson is interrupted while translations happen and naturally, the teacher’s attention is constantly divided.

The pace of learning slows DRAMATICALLY for everyone else.

The consequence is that the classroom stops being optimized for the students who can already understand the instruction and instead becomes an exercise in overcoming a language barrier that never should have existed inside an American, English-language classroom in the first place.

A place built to teach kids who are ready to learn quietly becomes a place mostly occupied with bridging a gap in language.

I don't think my five-year-old should spend one irretrievable year of his early schooling waiting at that bridge.

2) I saw the writing on the wall for the future of my county's school system and realized that not only was the future incredibly bleak, but downright aggressively woke in a way words fail to describe.

For multiple months, our school system allowed kids to:

a) Create Anti-ICE protest signs inside of the schools
b) Exit the school grounds, often WITHOUT SUPERVISION by ANYONE
c) Stand along busy highways and scream "FUCK ICE" for a few hours

Most shockingly, it was clearly encouraged by the schools, by leadership, and by many of the teachers.

That was political activism.

It gets worse... for years Buncombe County has forced biological girls to deal with biological males (who call themselves trans) to enter into girls locker rooms and bathrooms.

This has been happening for years and no one dared to try to change or speak up until very very recently... that should tell you a lot about what the school leadership believes and their political bent.

There is an evil lie that I see being spread by many that have condemned our decision to homeschool.

That lie is this:

“Public schools are neutral. By homeschooling, you’re only exposing your child to one side.”

This is a grossly evil lie.

In fact, the opposite is happening.

Schools are not neutral institutions simply because they are publicly funded; every school day has a limited number of hours, and every lesson taught means another lesson isn’t.

There is a finite amount of time in school, everyone understands this, which means priorities matter.

Every hour spent discussing political activism is an hour that isn’t spent on reading, writing, mathematics, science, history, or civics.

So when schools increasingly prioritize activism, identity politics, or current political causes... something else inevitably gets pushed aside.

Guess what? That’s not neutrality, that’s a choice.

What so many parents continue to discover is that their child comes home with a head full of ideas about the world that are purely one-sided because that's all there was time for.

Nuance is lost because nuance is time-consuming.

Is there TIME for nuance when half the class cannot speak English and you're speaking into a translator?

Of course not.

A child who can chant but cannot argue the other side hasn't been educated, they've been conditioned and the conditioners always, ALWAYS believe they're doing the child a kindness.

3) I'm fairly confident that today's school system is not designed for boys at all, it's purely designed for girls.

I'll give an example.

One of the schools in my area noticed that boys were throwing pine-cones (calling them grenades) and playing with sticks (calling them guns and swords).

This made the girls in the class uncomfortable.

So the school banned the boys from playing with sticks or pinecones outside, saying that the boys were playing "violent games" and should stop.

One group's nature (the girls) became the rule.

The other group's nature (the boys) became an problem... and once you see it, you see it everywhere.

Classrooms rewards staying still, staying quiet, non-aggression, obedience.

So ask yourself honestly... if you designed an institution that graded children partly on their ability to sit motionless for six hours, who would you expect to win?

Girls, of course.

Boys "get into trouble" FAR more often than girls, and the "offenses" are things like being too aggressive, not staying in line, fidgeting, or being "defiant" for staying buried in a book instead of the worksheet.

The punishment schools reach for first is often to take AWAY recess, which is literally the physical release every study says he needs, as the penalty for needing it!

At my table, he can stand up when he needs to move. He can go deep on the thing that lights him up instead of being dragged off it. He can build his imaginary armies.

He can be exactly the boy he is and have that be an ASSET instead of someone saying that's a problem.

4) No teacher, no matter how gifted, no matter how well-meaning, walks into that classroom knowing my son the way we know him, and no one ever will.

The single most important qualification for teaching a child isn't a degree or a curriculum or a district budget..

...it's just how much do you actually care whether this SPECIFIC kid makes it?

How far would you go for him?
How late would you stay for him?
How many times would you explain it again and again?
How completely would you refuse to give up on him?

And on that measure, the whole world loses to his mother (who will be homeschooling him), it's not even close.

Nobody on earth will ever love him more than she does.

Nobody will study him, root for him, ache for him, and delight in him the way she does every ordinary day.

There has never been anyone on this earth more qualified to raise my son than the woman whose love for him knows no depths and has no end.

Hope that helps clarify a few things.

[Benghazi Notes @BenghaziNotes]

On 9/12/12 Rashad Hussain (pictured below), the Obama administration’s special envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), sent an email to Ufuk Gokcen, the OIC’s ambassador to the United Nations, pushing the video as the cause of the #Benghazi attack. Hussain wrote: “I am sure you are considering putting a statement on the film and the related violence. In addition to the condemnation of the disgusting depictions, it will be important to emphasize the need to respond in a way that is consistent with Islamic principles, i.e. not engaging in violence and taking innocent life.” In response to this direct request by the Obama administration, the OIC duly issued a statement linking the YouTube video to the #Benghazi attack and suggested that the US should restrict free speech in response, per its efforts to criminalize criticism of Islam.

THE TEST

Part 3: What If an Angel Appears?

Don’t believe me.
Read it yourself.

Last Tuesday we asked:

Did God leave us guessing?

The answer was no.

God gave us a standard.

He told us to test every message against what He had already revealed.

But what if the person says:

“This message came from an angel.”

Does that automatically make it true?

Does the appearance of an angel place the message beyond examination?

God’s Word says:

“But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.”
Galatians 1:8

Read that again.

Paul doesn’t say:

Accept the message because an angel delivered it.

He says that even a message supposedly delivered by an angel from heaven must be rejected if it contradicts the gospel already revealed.

Then Scripture gives another warning:

“And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.”
2 Corinthians 11:14

Think about that.

Something can appear spiritual…

Something can appear powerful…

Something can even appear to be from heaven…

And still be deception.

That is why God says:

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God…”
1 John 4:1

God does not tell us to trust every spiritual experience.

He tells us to test it.

Not by how impressive it looked.

Not by how frightened or overwhelmed someone felt.

Not by the title the being gave itself.

Test the message.

Does it agree with what God already revealed?

Or does it preach a different gospel?

An angelic claim does not cancel the test.

It makes the test even more important.

Next Tuesday…

The Test continues.

What gospel had already been revealed before any later revelation appeared?

And what happens when a new message contradicts it?

Read it yourself.

Update – July 27, 2026
If you can’t protect one Marine in one clinic, how can you provide for all of us?

Matthew Cox — the federal VA employee caught on hidden camera beating Gulf War Marine veteran Albert O’Toole at the New York State Veterans Home in

Montrose — still has not been confirmed as fully removed from the VA payroll.

Removal proceedings were announced by VA Secretary Doug Collins on June 22. It’s been over a month. Still no confirmation.

This is not accountability or leadership. This is the complete opposite.

This is a lack of accountability, leadership, integrity, ethics, and responsibility for the position you hold.

Your department failed basic due diligence.

A simple background check at the federal level should have flagged his nearly
30-year history of legal problems including a drug charge, trespassing, and an ASSAULT case.

That failure allowed him into a facility tasked with protecting our most vulnerable veterans.

Your lack of leadership and accountability is why there continues to be a disconnect between veterans and our government.

Lead by example!

Something this simple proves exactly why so many of us have zero faith in the system.

Federal Level:
•VA Secretary Doug Collins → @SecVetAffairs
•VA Office of Inspector General Hotline → Call 1-800-488-8244
New York Local / State Level:
•State Senator Pete Harckham → [phone]
•State Senator Shelley Mayer → [phone]
•U.S. Rep. Mike Lawler (NY-17) → Contact form at https://t.co/ZtfWCRLenc
Call. Email. Tag them. Show up at district offices if you can. Flood them with demands that Matthew Cox be removed from the VA payroll immediately.

Today I had the pleasure of mowing Ms. Mahogany‘s lawn. She wasn’t at home at the time, but when she returns, she will return to a freshly mowed lawn. Making a difference, one Lawn at a time.

[John “TIG” Tiegen @TigTiegen]

What difference at this point does it make?

It mattered. Here’s why.

Hillary Clinton during the January 23, 2013 Senate hearing:
“With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided that they’d go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make?

She treated the cause of the attack as secondary.

From where I stood that night, and from everything that followed, that question ignored real failures that left four Americans dead.

1. Cause determines accountability
 • A spontaneous protest that turned violent is one kind of failure.
 • A planned terrorist attack is a different kind of failure. It raises direct questions about intelligence, threat assessment, security posture, and the decisions that left Americans exposed.
Those are not the same thing.

2. The “protest” story also covered serious gaps on the ground. 
The protest narrative didn’t just protect a political story. It also papered over failures that mattered on the ground:
•There was strategic warning for months that the security situation in eastern Libya was deteriorating and that U.S. facilities were at risk. Security was not increased to match that threat.
•Members of Ansar al-Sharia had moved into a location just outside the east wall of the consulate months before the attack. Security concerns about that proximity were raised. Nothing effective was done about it.
•There were clear gaps in understanding who actually controlled security, intelligence, and militia forces in Benghazi. Local forces the U.S. relied on proved unreliable.
•Extremist groups were operating openly in the city while the focus stayed too narrow.
As someone who was there, I saw the results of those gaps that night.

3. It damaged cooperation when it was needed most
Gregory Hicks testified that the video story was a non-event in Libya and that there was no protest. Pushing that narrative publicly insulted Libyan President Magariaf and complicated cooperation at the moment the U.S. needed local help to identify and pursue the attackers.

4. We already knew
We knew it wasn’t a protest. That was common sense. 1st clue The gun fire and RPGs
 2nd the attack started around 9:40 at night. When has there ever been a protest that late and no media?
We knew it was an attack before we left the Annex.

5. Truth is not optional!
Four Americans were killed. The difference between calling it a spontaneous protest and recognizing it as a planned attack is the difference between treating it as a tragic accident and treating it as a failure that left people exposed to a deliberate enemy.

That difference affects accountability, the lessons that get learned, and whether the country ever gets a straight answer.
I was there. We saw what it was.

“What difference does it make?” is the wrong question when the answer is the truth.
It makes a difference to the moms and dads who will never watch their sons grow old.

It makes a difference to the wives who stood at the altar with them and will never hold them again.

It makes a difference to the kids who were held in their arms and will never get another chance.

That’s the difference @HillaryClinton 
And people like you will never understand it.
Still no accountability!
Fk up move up,
Americans die we all lie
is our government moto…
