Did I just try to compare the Dust Bowl of the 1930"s to modern day California?? Perhaps! Even if not a slam dunk comparison, there are a least a few similar themes. This hour of Mama Bears Radio I trip out a bit on my recent Ken Burns documentary watching and also plead for some attention to be paid to a local school district.

Ha ha ha .... the CDC is forced to put disclaimers on their webpages stating that informatoin contained therein goes against the Trump administration's (and everyone else on planet Earth's) stance that there are only two sexes. This hour I chat a bit about some gender mania resources and then I delve
back in to Robert Whitaker's book Anatomy of an Epidemic, hammering some more on the mental health industrial complex's outright fraudulent "science" on mental illness in America.

Picking up the dropped ball(s)..... is not just for basketball players!  Today I speak with one of the founders of the Apogee Strong organization, Matt Beaudreau. This amazing collection of prgrams under the Apogee banner "exists to reseed freedom in our children and in our nation through education for the entire family." Matt and I talk particulary about their mentorship programs for young women and men.... instilling valueable skills, confidence, values and knowledge in our nation's next generation. Super cool program! I hope everyone will recomend this program for young adults in their lives who could benefit from from inspiration and perspective. https://apogeestrong.com/

Today I delve into the book Unshrunk by Laura Delano. This is not the easiest topic to face because we all have people in our lives who have gone down the "treatment" and "brain imbalance" mythology roads. I gobbled this book down and highly recommend it to anyone. 66 million people in our country are on mind-and-personality-altering pharmaceuticals. I play some clips of Laura speaking with Tucker Carlson so we have some of her experience in her own words, and I also quote some FACTS found in her books about how little studies are actually conducted before these drugs get prescribed for us.

This is smorgasboard hour for Mama Bears Radio.... today I take a deep dive into the seriousness of how online porn is obliterating our precious next generation. We all know it's there but we look the other way. Time to stop ignoring or our kidlets can't/won't/aren't have actual relationships to healthy sex. Yikes! I also cover AB84 here in California which is the next step, speaking of obliteration, to crunch down on charter schools.

Mama Bear musings this hour over Men in Girls Sports (yes, that's still a thing, don't think for a minute that the mentally ill sheep are giving this up) and Grading for Equity in SF. Sigh. The pressure cooker still steams here on this planet. We are two steps forward and several steps back it seems. And enrollment seems to be down at CSU campuses (I wonder why?) so we look at a new bill that aims to streamline pushing everyone into the sticky arms of COLLEGE. Sigh, again.

This hour I host Brenday Weybright from the Santa Cruz Pregnancy Resource Center. Brenda forays into local middle and high schools with presentations for students on the tough subjects - porn addiction, internet safety, sexual consent laws, trafficking, relationships and values, and more. Her program is an amazing public service from the PRC and Brenda has an opportunity to impact our local teens, and be a cool resource, in a significant way. She also offers parents forums to support parents in guiding children through these tough talks. Thank you SC PRC for this amazing community service!

This hour of Mama Bears Radio I welcome Ashley Chesney, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Set Free Monterey Bay. This org has distinuished itself as a leading force in the fight against human trafficking... especially here on the Central Coast of Cali. From classroom education to community awareness to public trainings, Set Free Monterey Bay is an incredible community resource. They also assist adult women (ages 18 and over) sex trafficking survivors to find healing in a local restoration home. https://www.setfreemontereybay.org/

Well....  it's time to get off the pills, red pills, black pills, prozac, etc. This hour on Mama Bears Radio I do my usual wheelhouse thing which is to call out the creeps in Sac who come up with endless bills [one can only guess] they must hope will devolve our society into chaos ... todays variation of that theme being AB 1084 which would make it super easy for kids, dogs, anyone to change their offical documents to reflect their gingerperson identity. Good times in Cali. Also I spend time talking about my new obsession book, Unshrunk by Laura Delano. Let's end the national mental health crisis by ending the ceaseless and senseless prescription of pharaceuticals. I look forward to chronicaling Laura's book on her get-off-the-meds journey.

This hour I host THREE lovely ladies from Chrysostom Classical Academy on Mama Bears Radio.... Head of Academy Nancy Dayton, teacher Christie Reynolds and student Hazel talk about this school's mission of providing an ecumenical, classical, Christian education to shape students who are rich in wisdom, virtue, and joy. It was a JOY to hear their passion for the school and, again, I love supporting independent education!
