Best wishes on your writing Adam! The story you are writing concerns the most significant plague to hit our country in its history, the plague of fatherless children. It is history altering and at the root of what many perceive as the decline of our nation. It is a subject and story that must be told. Bravo to you for taking it on. I look forward to your thoughts and insights on the subject. As I think I’ve mentioned previously, I was raised by my mother alone after her marriage broke up and my father left us. In the 1960s, long before it was fashionable. Even the Hollywood types of that era were not doing it. Women in such a position were looked down upon and treated like second class citizens, in many ways as if they were lepers. I remember. My Mom was a rock, however, and her strength and insistence on me getting a good education, her uncompromising refusal to accept any grade less than an “A,” with an occasional “B” being grudgingly tolerated, led to me having a post-doctoral degree, meeting and marrying an equally well educated woman, and having a great and interesting and successful life. I owe it all to her and her insistence that I adhere to her belief that the way ahead for “people like us,” meaning poor working class people, was through education. Had my father stayed around I likely would have turned out as well, it just would have been easier on her…and me. But not everyone in my position was so fortunate.
So again bravo to you for writing on this subject. The plague of fatherless children in the United States is a clear example of our rot from within and far more important than almost anything facing us, regardless of what the climate cult alarmists and military industrial complex and other dividers would have us believe. Write well and write a lot!!
My husband and I will be in Corfu in a couple of weeks time. I hope you’re enjoying yourself, and that you manage to get a lot written (and while enjoying a beautiful view)!
Defund The Police only came about because cops like Derek Chauvin were not being held accountable.
Anyway the NY Post Article about that politician who was attacked in a car jacking, well the problem with your article is you act like police prevent violent crime in the first place. They rarely do and only investigate after the fact.
She could have been pro-cop and the same thing would have happened. Cops are not superheroes, we're all responsible for out own security and safety
We just had a news story of a Seattle cop laughing about a girl they killed accidentally and saying she had no value. That is why cops are hated with a passion. They profess to be heroes when they are anything but. I see them as government employees. nothing more nothing less.
Anyway it's not like The Left hasn't made fun of a "back the blue" conservative who was either beaten or killed by cops.
I know why people don't like cops, and it's often based on irrational responses to isolated incidents that they aren't close to. It's why they often use an example from hundreds to thousands of miles away of a bad cop to say cops are bad.
As far as preventing crime, the defund the police movement removed police from patrol and demoralized police officers to stay in their positions and recruitment. If criminals know they are less likely to get caught, then crime increases. Also, defund the police advocates wanted leaner laws plus the removal of officers. A recipe for disaster.
It's not always about being there to prevent a crime but about having the manpower to investigate crime as well. These people who robbed/assaulted her likely have done it before and are part of something organized. Figuring out who's doing this and prosecuting them WILL prevent future crime.
You can see cops as whatever you want but they do a job that most people wouldn't want to do and see things people refuse to see.
Adam, I truly and honestly look forward to your next book. It is a topic that is of highest value for people to understand. It is hard to believe, but there are people who deny that fatherlessness is a serious problem.
There are a couple things that I think could be very important for you to cover in the book besides the damage caused in an individual's life when a mother is trying to fill a role God has assigned to a father. As good as a mother can be, the statistics prove that the Voddie Bauchams and Ben Carsons of the world are the exception and not the rule.
I know you will do a fine job without my input, nevertheless I hope you will include two things that are sidepoints to the fatherlessness issue.
1. The Marxist agenda to destroy or neutralize the family.
2. The presence of fathers who do not fulfill their God-given role in the family, which makes it virtually the same as growing up in a fatherless home. I experienced this because my dad was off to fight in the Korean War soon after I was born (I'm 73 now) and he was emotionally removed from life and his three "Baby Boomer" kids, even though in the home. Besides his baggage from fighting in WWII and Korea, he was not a Christian man and fought against me when I became a Christian at the age of 21. Christian Faith is very important and it can overcome a lot of the obstacles we face even in the worst of circumstances. Even though Dr. Baucham's mom was a Buddhist, she genuinely loved him, disciplined him, and would not allow him to think sports were the best way to make it, even though he was NFL-level material. Obviously, he became a Christian and that is the primary strength in his life to wade through the obstacles.
I look forward to your book and I am sure I will love it because of the important subject matter and your communication skills to make the problem clear.
(By the way, it would be good to make it clear that it is not just a "black problem." Anybody who grows up in a fatherless home will suffer similar problems.)
Thank you for your honest posts. We need people like you to show grace . God bless with your writing.
Thank you
It has been uplifting to see you develop your writing skills over the past few years. It’s impressive, and I look forward to the new book.
Thank you 😊

Smart move. I look forward to hearing about your break.
My eyes misread 6 months and I was so excited for you - but 6 days is great too!
😂
More power to your pen, Adam!
Thank you 🙏
Also Corfu is great - one of my best friends had her wedding there (in the Gerald Durrell house).
Amazing
Considering your are in Greece, may the ancient gods bestow great wisdom upon you.
My husband and I will be in Corfu in a couple of weeks time. I hope you’re enjoying yourself, and that you manage to get a lot written (and while enjoying a beautiful view)!
Nice! You'll enjoy it.
Beautiful! Happy writing! May the words flow! ❤️
This is awesome! We miss you - but understandable.
Miss y'all too!

Sounds like a great plan.
