Millions of children around the world grow up fatherless, and in America this phenomenon can be cited as a significant factor in the deterioration of both our culture and our society. Fatherhood, and more importantly fathers themselves, are critical. For those of us who were fortunate to have had a father who helped raise us, most can point to multiple instances of friction and conflict over the years. Fathers, like all human beings, are imperfect and the relationships they have with their children can be complex. Yet in most cases, particularly when the father is nearing the end of his life, bygones are put aside,

"Writing the obituary was a process of healing from his childhood trauma, his son, Lawrence Pfaff Jr., told NBC News." If Junior thinks this is evidence of healing, he has more therapy in his future.

A cheap shot at someone that can't respond. Should have been addressed before he died, or not at all.

Meh. We had an abusive drug addict family member, not my parents. Lived OK on a small trust. When she finally died, we did nothing. Didn’t claim her body at the hospital, no Shiva, no obituary, no probate. Just shook the dirt off our feet and didn’t look back. No clue what happened to her body, stuff, or anything else.

I know a woman whose father abused her physically and sexually as a child into her turbulent teenage years. As an adult, she found a way to put that aside and support him financially for the last ten years of his life and to care for him when he was dying. This cruel man got in one last jab and disowned her in his will and removed her as beneficiary in his life insurance, leaving her siblings who were of no help to benefit. I wish she would have written an obituary such as this one, but I guess she had too much class for that.

Knew a guy just like that. He died in 2016. He lived in a welfare apartment because his entire family hated him, and for good reason. I tried to help him out and could only stand him for three months, 2-1/2 of which he made pure Hell. Nobody claimed the body, there was no funeral or obituary. No idea who got his stuff. Probably the landlord. If they buried him, probably only Poison Ivy and Hemlock grow in the spot.

Little sympathy for an adult complaining about inflicting pain on "adult children." I do sympathize with the choice to sever relations with a father who was abusive in childhood. Earlier this year, I chose not to visit my father in hospice or attend his funeral, which I paid for. A few days later, I was watching The Walking Dead and heard this soliloquy: "I was not at his deathbed, Rick. I did not grant him that. And to this day I do not regret it. Some men do not earn the love of their sons." TWD S2.

Most of us don't know or even want to know about either generation of this family, or what brought about this parting shot at Dad. However, there is the Fifth Commandment to consider. Honor thy father and thy mother. Scripture doesn't mention any conditions on this Commandment.

My dad walked out of our lives when I was 8. There were 4 children living and one child died at 2 months. Sudden infant death... It destroyed both my parents. My dad had 3 other children which we discovered when one contacted my older brother, a Jr with the same name, about health concerns. Dad had died but not before making their lives a living he-- by constantly telling them how perfect his other children (me & my siblings) were. I told her that we were so perfect he left us and never contacted us again or helped support us! My mom was also effected by that child's death. She wasn't much of a mom - drank and would disappear with men for several days. As the oldest daughter I began cooking, cleaning, mothering as a preteen and tried to hold the family together one step ahead of DHS in wharever welfare state we were living in (we moved often to keep ine step ahead of them). When I learned Dad was dead it was like oh well. Mom was sick a long time and I helped take care of her. My siblings and I split the cost of her funeral. I helped write her obituary which wasnot filled wiyh glowing loveliness but just stated the factsvof her life and our names as her children. It also did NOT state she wasn't the best mom! The one good thing that came of all this is the closeness the 4 of us have had all these years. Much closer than any of my friends' brothers and sisters are. We consider ourselves fortunate to have had each all these years.

When my mother died, I wanted to dance and sing at her coffin. Of course the place was packed with relatives who loved her and didn't really know her, so I played the grieving daughter. I still feel guilty at all the sympathy I got from well wishers. Printing such an obituary on her would have been so cathartic.

Parents can jack up their adult children. Children can go through life trying to see the best in their parents, only to realize in adulthood that their parents are not decent human beings. Children forgive parents for their wrongs when they are growing up with them, but when they become adults, they can just simply be spent. They have to process their way out, and maybe that's what's happening to this man. People are not as mentally, emotionally, or spiritually mature as they used to be. We're more selfish and self-centered. That swings both ways in parent-child relationships.

The nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve was created in 1975 after the Arab oil embargo caused fear and angry gas-station lines across the country. The underground reservoirs, believed to be the world’s largest, were intended as an emergency oil-savings account for an actual energy crisis threatening national security. The SPR was not intended for a political crisis when Joe Biden’s Democrats face midterm election annihilation over inflation and outrageous gasoline prices above $6 a gallon caused by the same president’s ideological war on fossil fuels. Biden’s announced “plan,” which drew considerable criticism, is to draw down a million barrels a day

There was a time, long ago, when actor Alec Baldwin was actually entertaining. His performance as a main character in the classic 1988 comedy Beetlejuice was solid, though Michael Keaton stole the show in that film. And Baldwin was adequate in the movies Hunt for Red October in 1990 and Glengarry Glen Ross in 1992. He was even decent in the terrific drama The Departed in 2006. Indeed, Baldwin had been blessed with good looks and enough talent to make himself a wealthy man with a robust career. But as we’ve seen with so many actors – consider Robert DeNiro, Susan Sarandon, and Sean Penn as examples – Baldwin’s onscreen success

The man who masterminded both successful presidential campaigns for former President Obama, strategist David Axelrod, has harsh words for the current Commander-in-Chief saying, “There is this sense that things are kind of out of control and he’s not in command.” Appearing on CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper” Thursday, he added, “so, you know, this is a very, very fraught environment for him right now.” The first question that pops into my mind is, does this have Obama’s blessing? It’s hard to imagine that Axelrod, now a CNN commentator, would criticize the Democratic Party’s standard-bearer without running it first by his former boss.

Wednesday’s episode of the Laura Ingraham show on Fox News brought you the story of a new Disney+ series called Baymax, where a male-voiced robot at a supermarket asks a surprised female customer what menstrual products she suggests. Several others shoppers join in to help with recommendations, including from what all appearances is a male with a trans flag on his shirt. Ingraham points out that “Disney+’s only warning for the show is about flashing white sequences and patterns,” but gives no warning about the embedded trans ideology. My kids are older now, but I doubt I’d be thrilled at them viewing this when they were 5 years old.

t just got easier to get into the Army. Now aspiring soldiers without graduations under their belts can still hang government-issued Sig Sauer M17s from them. Military.com reports that the U.S. Army is dropping its requirement for enlistees to possess either a high school diploma or GED certificate. This comes, per the outlet, amid an “escalating recruiting crisis.” On Thursday, the service announced that individuals may enlist without those previously required education certifications if they ship to basic training this fiscal year, which ends Oct. 1. To be clear, entrants still have to take a test: Recruits must also be at least 18 years old and otherwise qualify for a job in the active-duty Army.

There are certain voting blocs on which the two major political parties rely heavily. For Republicans, it’s not only critical that they have the support of Evangelical Christians and non-college-educated white men, but they also need them to be energized and head to the polls. Similarly, the Democrats count on black and Hispanic Americans along with college-educated white women, and failure to secure strong majorities in those demographics can destroy their chances. But then there are the battleground demographics which are often in battleground states. While Democrats have already seen a devasting and consistent downward trend with Hispanics – one of those aforementioned key constituencies which are currently showing even less

Disney may have grown relatively quiet after a reported backlash over Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill, but the company isn’t losing steam where LGBT support is concerned. The Mouse recently released its animated Lightyear to less than bountiful box office acclaim, and some might suggest one factor against the film was its same-sex kiss. Disney had cut the scene but reinstalled it after its showdown with Ron DeSantis. Nonetheless, its next animated project may sport more Rainbow radiance than ever before: Strange World will include a gay teen romance. Matthieu Saghezchi — Emmy-winning animation production designer — caught a glimpse of the movie while attending France’s Annecy 2022 International Film Festival.

Consider the date of July 14, 2000, and what the world was like on that day: Bill and Hillary Clinton were still in the White House, doing heaven-knows-what. The Twin Towers in lower Manhattan were still standing tall, with very few Americans having ever heard of Al Qaeda.

Just as importantly, it’s about doing whatever they can to block out President Donald Trump from ever becoming president again, so they can hold onto their power.

If the mainstream media is indeed merely a pseudo communications department of the Democratic Party – which it is – then CNN is the co-chair of that department, with MSNBC as the other. There is no outlet in America’s corrupt collection of leftwing media that better serves as a Democrat cheerleader than CNN, though MSNBC occasionally gives them a run for their money. Therefore, a question: How bad must the situation be in order for CNN to not only report on bad news for President Joe Biden and his party – which is itself highly unusual – but to also accurately interpret that news and offer a reasonable opinion?

Moore’s news amendment erases any talk of a right to “keep and bear arms,” positing, instead, an “inalienable right to be kept safe from gun violence.” The amendment outlines the in-depth background check that would be required for gun purchases:
