Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Teens are prone to car accidents. When this incident arises, you have to be there for your kid, but you also need to know what to do so you can be helpful. The following are a few points to help you during this stressful time.

It is Important to Relax

Remember that your kid is inexperienced. This is a very traumatic moment that he or she is not fully prepared to comprehend. It is important that you stay in control of the situation, and keep your kid calm. Many parents tend to get angry or may act dramatic. You do not want to do this because it can make the situation worse for your kid and it really does not need to be. The key is to remain calm because it should help you get through the other steps that need to take place after an accident, like this one.

Think of Safety First

It is important that your teen sets up a perimeter of safety. Tell your kid to check him or herself for any injuries. Passengers should also be checked. The next thing to do is to place warning cones or emergency flares around the vehicle. At the very least, you have to make sure that your kid turns on the emergency lights. This is necessary to make sure your teen is not hit by oncoming traffic. Any injuries sustained should be checked by a doctor as soon as possible, so make sure those arrangements are being made.

Talk to a Professional

Be sure to tell your teen he or she may need to go to court, and you will be there as well. The automobile accident is likely going to be quite expensive. The damage to your teen’s car has to be dealt with, not to mention the other person’s car, depending on whose fault it was. Medical expenses are also going to pile up and there may be psychological damage. This is, after all, a very traumatic experience, and that has to be addressed. Making sure you talk to professionals who focus on car accidents, like the lawyers working at Levin Injury Firm, should help your teen get the money he or she deserves from the insurance companies involved.

Get the Report

The police report is going to be important if your teen decides to take this to court. You need to make sure that your teen is as detailed as possible about what occurred when he or she is questioned by the police officer. It is also important that you tell your teen not to admit to any wrongdoing at this point. All that he or she is doing is reporting the events as they happened without offering any opinions regarding who is at fault. You do not want your kid to incriminate him or herself at this point.

Keep your teen calm during this problem. Try to have someone in your family meet the teen wherever he or she is if you cannot make it there yourself. It is okay to worry as a parent, but attempt to control that worry until your kid is safe.

On the one hand we had yorkie puppies clothes pulling out all the stops with Don Lemon prowling the deserted streets of Manhattan in his “Blizzardmobile” looking for the storm of the century…..on the other,  Matt Glendinning, principal of Moses Brown School in Providence, Rhode Island chose to use a rather more ingenious way of letting his students know about the coming snow.

(London)…Speaking to the NewsHour current affairs programme just hours after the Charlie Hebdo shootings in Paris, Mayor Aboutaleb became angered by the failure of some Muslims to adapt to their new homes, as he himself had done.

 …F.D.R. in Hell (@FDRinHell)

Gov. Dannel Malloy has signed an executive order effectively enabling the indefinite suspension of civil rights in the state of Connecticut.  He’s given his Commissioner of the Department of public Health the ability to quarantine, or otherwise detain, any person or group suspected of being infected with the Ebola virus. 

Note…all this has been done “preemptively”, because no specific case has yet to be identified.

Checks  = None

Balances = None

All done for your own good… without due process…. on behalf of the State.

Anyone remember back when SNL used to be funny…sometime back in 1976?  This latest skit contains a nice dose of psychological conditioning.  It’s promoting a message of “inevitability” … meant to psychologically condition white viewers to a sense of resignation and passivity.  We’re seeing more and more of these kinds of mind games in all genres of media and entertainment. I guess going on hikes, hugging dad, flying to the moon, all presented with customary self-effacing goofiness, are nothing more than corny SWPL (stuff white people like)?

Interesting…..when the woman says, “Let’s get at least 4 more [white] presidents”, isn’t she tacitly acknowledging that non-whites always vote for someone of their own race regardless of the candidate’s capabilities or experience?

What say you?

If you ask me, they all  look like a bunch of Obama campaign staffers partying after the last election…..blue mocking red all the way.   Oh, and the commenters over on YouTube didn’t think too much of the skit either.

“Oohrah! This video of Marines singing is going to drive the secular humanists INSANE.” –-Alan West

To anyone out there who may have written California off as a lost cause,  behold this group of young Marines in their monthly Faith Warrior service at the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California.   It’s been shared nearly 400,000 times since it first debuted on Merrie Pardee Baldwin’s Facebook last September 15th.  Baldwin wrote, “Participatory worship.  I love how excited the men get to sing this song and the camaraderie.”

DAYS OF ELIJAH

(Some of the lyrics include:)

These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the word of the Lord, yeah
And these are the days of Your servant, Moses
Righteousness being restored

These are the days of great trials
Of famine and darkness and sword
Still we are the voice in the desert crying
Prepare ye the way of the Lord!

For the sixth year in a row, a massive fish kill has scientists scratching their heads. “We’re seeing this happen every August.” according to a marine biologist who requested anonymity, “It appears some sort of toxic bloom occurs at this point every summer. We’ve no clue as to the cause.”

(MarkLevin)…In recent weeks we have seen two columns by “conservative” columnist Ann Coulter about the current controversy over the Mississippi Senate race.  Allow me to finally reply to this opportunistic, money-grubbing Establishment hack masquerading as a conservative:
Ann, in your first piece on July 9, you condemned Senator Chris McDaniel for fighting against what is massive corruption and you slander his supporters as “clowns and nuts” and the “sore loser brigade” for backing him.  You detailed many campaigns where Republicans had elections outright stolen from them, namely Richard Nixon, John Thune, and Bob Dornan, who took the supposed high road and did not challenge the results.
