Music appreciation courses give an overview of major composers and their works and familiarize students with the essentials. Music theory courses teach the elements of music, notation, key signatures, time signatures, chord progressions, and so forth. Music composition courses cover the major skills required to start composing, including melody, harmony, form, ornamentation, and accompaniment.

“Do you?” “Are you attached?” “No.” “Are you opposed to attachments?” “No.” “Are you looking?” “No.” My sneeze blotted out the answer. “Well then, let me introduce you to…” The number of votes that put this foolish woman in Congress: 117,575. The annual salary of the pseudo-poor woman is $174,000. The only poor thing about her is the example she sets for young girls. Fifty years ago a member of Congress would not be living with a boyfriend. I wish someone would do a comedy sketch of Catholic Pelosi counseling Catholic AOC about sex outside marriage.
Deconstruct is synonymous with dismantle. She undoes a youthful mistake. Haven’t you heard truth and lies and seen good and bad from every check-the-box group?
He wouldn’t know how to download the TikTok app, or remove it.
I have said it multiple times on my website. Do not use TikTok and do not let your children use it. Do not send me texts or email that contain TikTok videos. I will place them in spam. Places that have banned the app are Afghanistan, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, European Union, India, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, and Taiwan. https://apnews.com/article/tiktok-ban-privacy-cybersecurity-bytedance-china-2dce297f0aed056efe53309bbcd44a04 China is an evil empire. If you allow China to usurp America’s leading role in the world, you are a traitor. The British Beesleys have 153,000 subscribers.
“Keith Krach, San Francisco resident and former Under Secretary for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment, says, ‘If you look at how TikTok is actually being used inside of China — I’m not talking outside of China — they use it as an educational app for STEM, for science, technology, engineering, and math.’”
“In America, young people using TikTok are encouraged to go ‘TikTok famous’ by showing stupid things like violence, pornography, and other foolish behavior.” https://dailyconservative.com/former-trump-official-tiktok-is-cocaine-disguised-as-candy/?utm_source=BPN&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=BPN2&utm_content=BPN2A “‘That means they have access to your passwords, all your data, they have access to your health records, your bank records, they have access to your geopolitical information or your geospatial information,’ and ‘That means that they can track where you are, where you’ve been, and where you’re going’ … ‘Look at it as a digital virus,’ adding… ‘And the only cure for this; the only vaccine for this is a total ban.’” https://patriotmomdigest.com/tiktok-ceo-admits-chinese-app-tracks-americans-keystrokes-but-says-spying-is-not-right-word-for-surveillance-of-americans-by-chinese-communists/ I can verify the soft porn because TikTok shorts appear on YouTube. I won’t link them. One of the famous stars is ‘trans’ Dylan Mulvaney, and Dylan got a message from the Veep (see yesterday’s post about TikTok). This exploitation by China is enlightening. The enemy sees the moral depravity in America. It is about time Americans wake up and see what is obvious even to the enemy.
Chew has a BA in Economics from University College London and an MBA from Harvard Business School. What is his competency in information technology? What are his ties to China? No matter how hard he tries, the man cannot hide his identity. If it swims like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it is probably a duck. Congratulations to the person who captured the screenshot. He looks as if he is laughing at us. Why do American youth continue to use TikTok and why do American parents allow their children to have electronic devices that can access TikTok? My one student does not have a cell phone and is given access to the internet only by his parents. I allowed him to view two videos, one on the internet and one that I had placed on my website and that had been passed on to me by a retired cop. The internet video featured a synthetic voice singing the Greek alphabet. My website video was a combination of file footage and actual footage of American military planes shooting down the Chinese surveillance balloon for the educational value of knowing that sophisticated technology is at work in American military defenses. There is no J in Greek, nor does it have a sound that is equivalent to our J sound. The letter J was added to the Latin alphabet in the Middle Ages to distinguish it from the consonant I. Prior to the invention of J, I could be either a consonant or a vowel. The name Jesus, spelt ΙΗΣΟΥΣ in Greek capitals, has the abbreviations IHS, JHS, IHC, or ΙΗΣ for space considerations and ease when embroidering, painting, carving, or sculpting. Alexander looked at the Raptor attack, but it was the Greek video that captured his attention, and we listened to it during subsequent tutoring sessions. Meanwhile...
TikTok post sent to Dylan Mulvaney – “Thank you for courageously sharing your story and your journey. I appreciate your continued advocacy for transgender equality, including during your visit to the White House last year. Through your work as an activist and advocate for the LGBTQI+ community, you continue to break barriers and inspire young people across our Nation and around the world. While we have made incredible progress from advancing marriage equality to enacting historic protections for transgender people the fight is far from over. Our Administration stands with the LGBTOI+ community in the ongoing struggle for true equity and equality and against hate and discrimination in all forms. I am grateful for your dedication and courage, and I hope you continue to use your platform to spread positivity and create change. I look forward to seeing all that you will accomplish in the future.” -Vice President Kamala Harris “Who flatters, is of all mankind the lowest. Save him who courts the flattery.” -Hannah More Incredulous it is that elementary and middle schools cannot stick to reading, writing, math, social studies, a little basic science, music, and art, and a bit of PE. Parents are the primary educators, and when it comes to reading, dear teachers, stay with unaltered classics, regardless of words that offend ears present. Stop underestimating children! We have 104 altar boys, ages 7-18, who learn all the Latin responses, which are considerable, and all the movements during Mass, by heart. Here are the responses, labeled R. With enough repetition, they understand what they are saying and doing. Conservative economists are not madmen. They earned an A or B in Econ 10. I received the fifth highest grade. The top four got an A. “Red” can denote a negative balance on a company’s financial statement or an individual’s bank account. It can also signify unfruitful investments, as well as unfavorable government regulations.

Et dormiunt in somno pacis - and who sleep the sleep of peace De multitudine miserationum tuarum sperantibus - who put our trust in the multitude of Thy mercies (tu is you and spe is hope) Intra quorum nos consortium largitor admitte - into their company do Thou admit us The language has a sound of finality to it. Perhaps, that is why Latin orations are so good. For example, nunc means now. The closest sound to nunc I could think of, is fulcrum. Whereas “now” is whiny, nunc sounds angry, demanding, or militaristic, thus more dramatic and convincing. Some of our politicians would have better luck giving speeches in Latin. The first video comes from a tutor at Oxford. In the midst of life we are in death What helper do we seek except you, oh Lord You who for our sins, Holy God, holy and powerful Oh holy compassionate savior, Do not give us over to the harshness of death, In you our fathers placed their hopes, They placed their hopes and you freed them In the midst of life we are in death. The last line found its way into rock and roll in the 1986 single, “Sweet and Tender Hooligan” (The Smiths).
The event at Stanford in which a sitting judge was verbally attacked is what Elon Musk was referring to when he said our children are receiving a Soviet level of indoctrination at elite private schools and universities. Stanford had such a stellar reputation. Stanford is 13 miles north of De Anza College. I played in a tennis match at De Anza in the early 70s. Tucker interviews a former dean there. The purpose of a community college was to remediate a high school education or provide a 2-year technical training program. The left has hijacked it all. Now, they are dismembering each other. Tucker ranked #2 in the nation in 2022. Not surprising. He is getting the best interviewees.
www.adweek.com/tvnewser/these-are-the-top-rated-cable-news-shows-of-2022/521247/ Today he tweeted, “Parents don’t realize the Soviet level of indoctrination that their children are receiving in elite high schools & colleges!” I don’t do Twitter, but I get notifications about what is going on there.
Check out the list of colleges provided by The Cardinal Newman Society and recheck those colleges to be assured that your families are not Soviet indoctrinated. I have doubts about a few. All are Catholic schools, but non-Catholics are welcome and receive a good education. The list also provides job openings, including STEM. https://cardinalnewmansociety.org/college/ I tutored a boy who is not Catholic and has been in Catholic schools from the beginning. I kidded him, “If I saw you in the hallway, I would ask, ‘Sooo, when?’” In the context of taking tests, my current student and I looked at what Musk had to say about the challenges he faced in his life and how he dealt with associated anxieties. Then get off social media! Per Website Stats under the More Tab, I let someone else speak for me when I have no expertise. Alex Epstein. Wikipedia provides background and citations for his published works. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Epstein_(American_writer) It is not believable that Alex, who is Jewish, is a racist. He is a conservative, and that is when slanderers and libelers attack. When I was on Facebook, I read a poster’s claim that conservatives do not give to charities, hence they are uncharitable. They give. This is how Democrats ask questions. Anyone can ask leading questions, but her questions are statements, not questions, because she cuts him off when he attempts to answer. Moreover, she makes a lot of nasty accusations against Matt Taibbi, a very fine journalist who describes himself as an atheist/agnostic, hardly a proponent of religiously motivated inquiry. As a representative of the left, she is cutting off her own ally. Here is an example of his alt views. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1976365/ Also, she repeats the phrase, “MAGA extremists.” Is she implying Taibbi is an extremist? It’s there in her speech. In the 2020 election, Biden received 81.2 million votes (306 electoral votes), and Trump received 74.2 million votes (232 electoral votes). Thus, Biden received 52% of the vote, and Trump received 48%. In using the phrase, which is a false euphemism for conservative, she lumps 48% of the American people together and so maligns almost half the country. What an awful phrase “reclaiming my time” is. Reclamation pertains to dirty water and garbage. I don’t argue with or cut off people on my side: example – people who attend, or are sympathetic to, the Latin Mass. That would be a dumb move. But leftists are in the process of dismembering each other. Once the process is completed, we can return to reason.
Josh Alexander is 16 and a Baptist.
From the National Catholic Register, Susan Klemond, World, February 16, 2023 … “The Catechism of the Catholic Church, in Paragraph 355, quotes Genesis 1:27 as ‘God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them.’ This fundamental male-female duality of human beings is referenced in Paragraphs 383, 2331, and 2334, as well. …” … “The 11th-grader … approached the school’s principal [Derek Lennox] to advocate for female students who shared with him concerns about biological males using their bathrooms. When the administration didn’t address the issue, Alexander led 200 students in a walk out.” [The student body is 550. Two hundred out of 550 means that almost 40% of the students walked, which is extraordinary, given that students in Catholic schools exercise self-restraint and don’t challenge authority.] … “The Renfrew County Catholic District School Board is one of many Canadian Catholic school boards that have given in to pressure from the government, media and liberal board members in promoting transgender bathroom and other policies, Fonseca said. “‘By and large they have all bowed to this transgender ideology and are allowing biological males into girls washrooms and not only that, but actively persecuting any faithful Catholic who speaks out against it,’ he said. “The school board, which governs 21 elementary and secondary schools, said in a Feb. 13 statement on its website that as an inclusive learning community, it takes a pastoral care approach in supporting transgender youth, which may include walking with them as they decide to ‘access the washroom of their lived gender.’” … “The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops did not respond to several requests for comment.” [weak] https://www.ncregister.com/news/why-was-a-canadian-student-expelled-from-catholic-school-for-opposing-transgender-bathroom-policy Now we are seeing how important journalism is. In the years of the 20th century, we perused page one, obituaries, cartoons, and sports and that was about it, but now the written word itself is under attack. How does one live a gender? Do blue-eyed people live blue? One time a girl said she liked my blue pies. I just live day by day hoping they’re not red. elevation 6,224 feet (6,224/3.281 = 1,897 meters, rounded) The last time I swam in Tahoe was the summer of 2022. The temp was fine, not freezing cold, like SF Bay.
I posted and then deleted a video in which an 11-year-0ld Maine boy read from a book in his school library. He read it in front of the school board in the Town of Raymond, Maine. The YouTube video was posted on March 1, 2023, and has had over 800,000 views since then. The book, which contains sexually explicit language, is neither literature nor Catholic moral teaching on the subject. The book and others like it are why 3 million are homeschooled in the US. I think the percentage of homeschoolers in my parish is in the 90s.
What is free speech?
https://www.uscourts.gov/about-federal-courts/educational-resources/about-educational-outreach/activity-resources/what-does “PNC Financial Services Group Inc. came under attack, and rightfully so, earlier this week after it was revealed that it had abruptly cut ties with a news aggregation company co-founded by Donald Trump Jr.” *** “‘Account closures can occur for a variety of reasons but are never influenced by the political views or affiliations of our customers,’ read a Mar. 3 statement from PNC. “It added: ‘We’ve looked closely into the circumstances surrounding the closure of the ROCDIGITAL, LLC account and determined it was mistakenly closed due to a good-faith error.’ “While it can’t be proven, it certainly appears to the casual observer that PNC Bank picked the wrong conservative to cancel, and quickly realized the backlash wasn’t worth the few minutes of appeasing … Trump Derangement Syndrome ….” https://americandigest.com/pnc-bank-reverses-decision-to-cut-ties-with-donald-trump-jr-connected-business/? This is an example of where focus ought to be, not on nonstarters, such as race, sexual orientation, gender, imaginary equity goals, or contrived hate groups. The Valley of Death is a phase in the early stages of science-based innovation when a technology’s continued development is hindered through a lack of funding and support. The SBIR and STTR programs fund a diverse portfolio of startups and small businesses across technology areas and markets to stimulate technological innovation. Bice (R-OK) At least one of my former students, 14, is likely headed for a career in STEM and will be involved with technology in some way as an adult. Out of several young engineers in my parish, one lost his job because there was not enough business. Fortunately, another parishioner was able to help. Climate change claimants across the west are pitting theoretical science against everyone. Look for you among one of these affected groups: consumers; homeowners; renters; farmers; transportation workers; energy workers; manufacturers and their employees; retailers and their employees; shareholders, the working poor, and retirees.
Read about one congressman’s efforts to stop a Department of Labor rule that would allow financial managers of employer-sponsored retirement plans to make decisions that prioritize environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing ahead of maximizing returns. https://barr.house.gov/2023/2/house-passes-barr-resolution-blocking-biden-s-politicization-of-retirement-accounts Change is an overrated notion. Holding herself on point without his support is challenging. I’ve seen many videos of this sequence, and she does a good job with the first one. The music is called Grand Pas Classique. Steps? I dunno. Just enjoy watching excellent students perform. 1999 |
