You must be a New Palestine graduate. Yep. The state finals, if they are even played, will be yawners.

And who are you to make decisions for a community you are not even a part of? Yes, multiple children. And some participated in extracurricular athletics and activities.

I was kidnapped by mimes once They did unspeakable things to me.

Many larger opponents who complete against programs like Lafayette Central Catholic would disagree with you. In case you change your mind: https://fhs.frankfortschools.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=1070176&type=u https://fhs.frankfortschools.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=864852&type=u

Interesting, and telling, that you want to take away choice from a community regarding their government school and it's extracurricular activities. So once an extracurricular activity is created it can never, ever be removed. Got it.

And what should happen to those programs where the "work ethic" has essentially died, even through multiple coaching staffs, senior classes, athletic directors, etc.? Should the community which that extracurricular athletic activity serves have the option to pull the plug on that program?

The Biden Protection Racket https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/10/the-biden-protection-racket/ Agreed. The unabashedly liberal MSM is treating Mr. Biden with kids gloves at a level they never extended to Mr. Obama and Ms. Clinton during their presidential election runs.

So the term "work ethic" only applies to Indiana High School Football? By all means please regale us stories of your "work ethic" when it comes to Indiana High School Football. Nobody, including me, is denying or denigrating the work put in by the FHS players and coaches to achieve what they have so far this season. I don't now how you can even infer that by what I have posted in this thread. That is a separate issue with regards to contraction. No, I won't be "working" the games. I will be probably be watching though. Will you? And I claim no sense of victory regarding the Hot Dogs gridiron fortunes this season. That is primarily for the players, and players alone, to claim and reflect on.

There is a string of about 6-10 houses just south of Clinton Prairie high school on CR 450 W. I guess they could walk to the football field.

Ahh, and here we go with the personal attack. I win. Have a nice day. I'll be working most of it. How about you?

https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/liberalism-fear-of-shelby-steele-michael-brown-amazon/ Read it all. Notice the difference Crouch draws between controlling the images, and expanding them. That’s precisely what’s going on here with Amazon’s actions towards the Steeles’ film. And, the poetic truth that Shelby Steele so powerfully illuminates and dismantles in What Killed Michael Brown? is a baldfaced lie about race and America that promises to deliver its believers from alienation — both its black believers and its white believers (who are so desperate for absolution from racial guilt that they will accept anything). As I write in Live Not By Lies: When Shelby Steele, in this extraordinarily important, even urgent film, exposes the lies of Michael Brown’s death, and of the left-wing race narrative, and concludes that “liberalism wants your very soul” — this is exactly what he is talking about. No wonder Amazon, as one of this culture’s controllers, will not permit any challenge to its monopoly on reality. Shelby and Eli Steele are two of the bravest men in America, and I mean that. UPDATE: A reader points out that you can buy a DVD or Blu-ray version of What Killed Michael Brown? here. I hope you will. Not only will you support these filmmakers and their worthy project, but you will own a movie that you can show to your kids and to your friends, and talk about these issues. Shelby and Eli Steele put a lot on the line to tell this story; we should stand with them by buying their work and telling others about it. This really is a first-rate documentary. I will be purchasing this documentary and watching it. It must be damning to the liberal progressive cause for Amazon prime video to refuse to allow it on their service.

Not really excited, just offering congratulations where I think it is due. They have played almost all of those same 3A, 2A, & 1A schools the past two seasons and went 0-20. And I do scoff at the Hot Dogs at weakening their non-conference schedule by adding Clinton Central/Clinton Prairie where the used to play the likes of Western, Tipton, Twin Lakes, and Logansport. What exactly to you is a "token victory" when it comes to Indiana High School football, Punttheball?

Thank you for your support. This very well may be Frankfort "once is a decade for a government school" team/level of talent. We shall see.

Congrats to the Frankfort Hot Dogs for having their first winning regular season (5-4) since 2009.

Cultural Revolution In King County: https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/christopher-rufo-king-county-racism-cultural-revolution/ More: Read it all. This is how soft totalitarianism is coming to us. Along those lines, today I received an e-mail from a reader whose Chinese-born wife who grew up during the Cultural Revolution saw me on “Morning Joe” on Friday, arguing with the black Princeton professor Eddie Glaude, who denied that there is any such thing as the illiberal left, and said people like me who say there is are really racist. The reader wrote: Have you read Live Not By Lies yet? You should. This is here in some places (like King County), and you had better believe that it is spreading everywhere fast. We have to be ready.

https://mises.org/wire/progressivism-future-really-just-socialism-past Socialism in Disguise Guiding mankind to heaven on earth by transforming society is the quintessential message of socialism, beginning with the “utopian socialism” of the nineteenth century and leading up to our time with the demand for a “concrete utopia.” Yet different from the Marxist mythology that socialism would be the unstoppable successor of capitalism, history shows that the “socialist phenomenon” has appeared time and again throughout history. Instead of being the model of the future, socialism is, de facto, a failed idea of the past. Socialism is the attempt to create a new social order at will. Yet one cannot construct “order” to one’s wishes. The volitional realization of a socioeconomic system results in establishing society as a single state-dominated organization and as such, it is necessarily hierarchical and must be based on command and obedience instead of the free association of the people as it happens in a spontaneous order. President Wilson failed in his plan to bring the United States into the League of Nations and establish an organization to promote a new world order in tune with the visions of the progressives. For some time, the Americans resumed the tradition of individualism and isolationism. Yet with the Great Depression and World War II the chance of transforming the society and putting bureaucratic experts at the top came back with a vengeance under the presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. With the end of the world war returned the chance to establish a network of international organizations with the mission of organizing society and the economy under the auspices of bureaucratic experts. This happened with the founding of the United Nations and its several subgroups and sister organizations to become active in finance, education, development, and health. The International Push With the launch of the United Nations, progressivism as a program of what James Ostrowski calls “destroying America” has attained a global platform. The main seat of this philosophy has moved into the headquarters of the United Nations Organizations. From its start, the United Nations has been the light bearer of global progressivism. The protection of the environment and “global health” proved to be the ideal pretexts to move forward the agenda of progressivism. In June 1994, the UN Agenda 2021 was initiated by the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro and called for the imposition of “sustainable development” on a global scale. While Agenda 2021 was still relatively modest in its demands and nonbinding as to its full execution, the later Agenda 2030 let the cat out of the bag. The new agenda was adopted when the heads of state and government and high representatives met at the United Nations Headquarters in New York in September 2015. At this meeting, they approved the adoption of “Global Sustainable Development Goals” about comprehensive and far-reaching universal and transformative goals and targets. The new agenda describes a program of comprehensive government takeover of almost all aspects of personal life. With no nods to human freedom and market coordination, the document lists seventeen goals that should be met through a bureaucratic takeover of society on a worldwide scale. Behind popular promises such as the end of poverty and hunger, healthy lives, equitable education, and gender equality lurks the agenda to impose global socialism. Demands such as the reduction of income inequality within and among countries, sustainable consumption and production patterns, and building inclusive societies for sustainable development, are parts of an overriding plan to do away with the market economy and to impose comprehensive state planning. Claiming the “perpetuation of disparities between and within nations, a worsening of poverty, hunger, ill-health and illiteracy, and the continuing deterioration of the ecosystems on which we depend for our well-being” (chapter 1, preamble), the conference calls of a “global partnership for sustainable development.” Under the heading of “program areas” the agenda stresses “the links between demographic trends and factors and sustainable development.” The growth of the world population combined with “unsustainable consumption patterns” endangers the planet, as they “affect the use of land, water, air, energy and other resources.” Under point 5.17 of its objective, the conference demands: “Full integration of population concerns into national planning, policy and decision-making processes.” Protecting the environment requires the comprehensive regulation of the world population which in turn makes it necessary to control personal behavior. In short, the adoption of this "new world order" would mean the abolition of private property, or what Mises regarded as the liberal program—a world based on private property. If enacted, this project will fail in the end, but it will bring immense suffering in the meantime. Scary stuff. And yes, this sort of project will fail, and in the process bring incredible suffering to the world's population.

The Feds Have Doled Out Record Farm Subsidies To Save Trump's Campaign https://reason.com/2020/10/17/the-feds-have-doled-out-record-farm-subsidies-to-save-trumps-campaign/

From the newest weekend edition of the Frankfort Times: I guess the city of Peru (about 60 miles or so northeast of Frankfort) is building it's new police station just west of Frankfort next to the industrial park. Who knew? So this is how far the Frankfort Times newspaper has fallen. They apparently can't get anyone to proof read the page 1 headline story.
