If you listen to the lefties, you think our democracy (whatever that really is anymore) is falling apart, well, not falling apart, rather being torn asunder, destroyed, demolished, obliterated—all by that evil, racist, sexist, xenophobic agent of the Soviet Union, Donald Trump.
Wow!
Maybe we don’t even have those 12 years Ocasio-Cortez said we were limited to if we didn’t do something about climate change. Maybe, with the evil the lefties proclaim we have in the Oval Office, we won’t even last another four years if Trump is reelected.
Another day in Washington.
Did you know that Washington and its environs is one of the richest sections of America? Ever wonder why? It’s not an accident or a coincidence.
Most of our mainstream media, Pravda USA, spend their time, 24/7, echoing the image the lefties want them to present. Over and over. Over and over. They, working for the lefties, would have you believe Trump is a traitor, an agent working for Putin, that he’s broken the law, actually committed provable crimes repeatedly and continually fails to uphold his oath to defend and protect the Constitution.
If any of this were really true, they, the Despicable Dems, in all their animus and hatred would have impeached Trump a long time ago. That they haven’t moved to impeach him speaks directly to belie the image they are, with the help of Pravda USA, intending to continually bombard us with through the election cycle and no doubt afterward, through the complete second term of Donald Trump. Continually bombarding us with their hatred-based, rage-blinded lies is all the Democrats have to offer. Divide and conquer! And the mainstream media, Pravda USA, support and champion the lefties because it’s all they’ve got. In betting terminology, they are all in.
The ironies are thick. It was Hillary who wanted Donald to promise he’d stand by the election results. It was Hillary who bought and paid for foreign intelligence on her political foe. It was Hillary who destroyed 33,000 e-mails and the Democratic National Committee that refused to turn over their computers, and on and on.
In time we’re going to find out a lot more as Barr looks into the real origins and true facts of what went on.
Pravda USA and the lefties are short on facts, short on evidence and surely short on morality. Like a child in the midst of an uncontrolled temper tantrum, they will say and do anything to bring down Trump simply because they lost the election in 2016. If it means destroying the country, destroying the very foundations of our democracy they so strongly upheld when Hillary looked like a shoe-in, so be it.
It’s the “I’d rather be dead than red” philosophy.
It would all be funny if it weren’t so serious. It is easy to tear things down, but hard to build them up. It’s easy to be swayed by “free stuff” but it is difficult to understand that free is not free. It’s easy to promote and support free things for all like Medicare, college, etc. but hard to understand the reality of the “for all” which in practice means for none. Medicare for all will in practice mean that the system will be so overloaded no one will get the care they need when they need it.
But of course one of the biggest ironies is that those proposing, advocating and supporting such policies are almost all rich, members of that very wealthy Washington, and they wouldn’t be caught dead having to live within what they’re proposing.
Or, they say walls are immoral but they live behind them. They want to take away guns, but they have armed guards for themselves.
You get the drift.
What the Despicable Dems and Pravda USA are doing is tantamount to aiding and abetting our real enemies in their quest to destroy us and our democracy.

Kitchen fights.
Most of the ones Bill would see in restaurants were between waitresses and cooks and all because they were fooling around and got jealous or envious or pissed off. Add drugs to it… Most restaurants, at least around the time Bill was working in them, were riddled with drugs. So there was Wayne and Jackie, and later Bill would see Wayne and other waitresses.
Cocaine was the drug of choice. It speeded the cooks up. They sped, they worked, they sped more, they finished their shift and smoked weed. All the while they drank, liquor and beer and sometimes wine. Sometimes, if one cook was not coked up and the other(s) were, things were out of sync. Communication could become difficult. So sometimes, when it was going like that, the cook who was not coked up would get high.
Drugs messed up your head.
Personally, Bill did not fight much in kitchens. Since he’d never wanted to be a cook, never thought of it until he’d gotten busted and met Robert through the probation department, he never felt that his ego was invested in it. He didn’t desire power. He just wanted to work, make money, not have to think.
So…
“Yeah, I’m okay,” Bill said to Mary.
The kitchen was at a standstill during the plate hurling contest, but at least it happened before the service had started. Mr. Bowman never came back into the kitchen. When he came in to expedite, Tommy told them Mr. Bowman just left out the front door, not a happy camper. Tommy said he told him to make sure to order more dinner plates.
As Henry Lee cooked off the hamburgers and bleus for the start-up, Mickey swept the kitchen floor. Because he’d mopped the bus station in the side dining room, Paulie already had a pail and mop set up. He went right behind Mickey and mopped away any shattered porcelain that remained. The goal was to get it done, get everything back to order and get the meal started with no delays.
Bea stayed behind her station’s counter and did what she had to to make sure she was ready. She triple-checked all her food. Most everything had been covered so she was not a bit concerned.
Mary stood by Bill for awhile. In part, she stayed there to make sure it was all over, that Bea didn’t start it up again as she surely could have done based upon her mood and how pissed she was. Partly she was staking out her territory, letting Bea know she cared about Bill. Mary knew she now had a thin line to be walking and she needed to do it well. She knew it was on her to keep the kitchen together.
There would be no making peace with Bea. The fooling around between Bea and Bill was over. Plate-hurling punctuated that clearly. At best, for the duration of the time Bill had left at Suburban Steak House, there would be a truce of sorts, and unstated agreement not to mess with each other. Bill would be careful not to usurp Bea’s power. Bea would be careful not to boss him around. Was better to leave him to his own devices.
So Bill went about his business, not as if nothing had happened but not at all upset. If anything, he was pleased with himself for standing up to her, for standing up for himself. In this regard he felt a bit surly. It was clear his stock had risen, and since for every winner there has to be a loser, it was equally clear that Bea’s stock had fallen. The trick now was to let her recover because, and Bill knew this was the only reason why, his days there were numbered.
“May! What potent blood hath modest May,” Bill said to Mary as she stood by him. “Emerson said that.”

Philadelphia City Councilman Endures Threats To Expose Corruption in CPS and Child Sexual Abuse
by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News
Earlier this year (2019) we reported that while Phoenix, Arizona has had the dubious distinction of being the #1 city in the U.S. for taking children away from their parents and placing them into state-funded foster care, that according to statistics published by the National Coalition for Child Protection Reform (NCCPR), Philadelphia has now overtaken Phoenix as the top city in the U.S. having the highest percentage of the children being removed from homes and put into foster care. See:
Earlier this month (May, 2019), Philadelphia City Councilman David Oh presented testimony before the Philadelphia City Council regarding abuses in the state-run child protection services (DHS – Department of Human Services), and how they were continually breaking state law, while not admitting to any wrong-doing.
In fact, the councilman claimed that DHS “routinely and intentionally” violates state law.
“There is something wrong with DHS. The biggest problem I have with DHS, is that DHS tell us that there is absolutely nothing wrong with them.”
He claims to be representing over 50 “not-at-fault” mothers who all have solid evidence of wrongdoing, and have approached other elected officials many times over the course of years, with no results. He states that they were:
- …never accused of doing anything wrong. They were never accused of being abusive or negligent.
- It was determined by DHS that the allegations were unfounded. Yet, they have been denied their children for years.
- Their children are being placed in multiple foster care situations where they are abused, they have run away, they’re depressed, they’re medicated, they’re sexually violated.
And it continues.
He goes on to explain that most of these mothers comply with everything DHS asks them to do to get their children back, and yet in most cases their children are adopted out.
During his testimony, Councilman David Oh states that “In the course of pursuing this…..”
And he then pauses for about 5 seconds, very obviously carefully considering just what exactly he wants to say next:
“There have been threats made, threats intimated, that there will be retaliation, that there will be political consequences – all types of threats.
And I wonder why? Why is that, when all we are doing is our duty to provide an oversight to an administrative agency that is responsible for protecting children.
Why the threat, why the problems?”
Child Sex Trafficking in Philadelphia?
Councilman Oh then concludes with some “horrendous” things he has seen reported to him.
- That a 5-year-old child provided a medical report, corroborated by her ten-year-old brother, of two years of rape.
- And DHS determined that the case was unfounded.
- There’s no police investigation.
- That person, the rapist, is on the street.
- But DHS came into the grandmother’s home and took the third child without a court order. And that’s on video tape.
- No court order. They handed a piece of paper, and when it was opened after taking the child, in front of a police lieutenant and six police officers, that piece of paper was NOT a court order.
- Now the judge, receiving a document from DHS, signed an order that the grandmother is to have no interaction with her three grandchildren.
- And now, they have brought allegations against the grandmother, as being mentally ill.
Councilman Oh concludes by saying: “DHS cannot investigate itself.”

They did run a full thirty minutes behind.
Wayne and Jackie put on a show, struggled through their fight right there on the loading dock. The episode lasted a solid eight minutes real time, give or take.
Aja came in to the kitchen several times to see if she could pick up orders, to report on the show and the customers who, not wanting to have to see such a thing—after all customers should never have to be subjected to that kind of stuff—got up and left. She passed a remark to the effect that she wasn’t gonna be making any money.
Bill worked it out best he could until Wayne came back in. Jackie, teary-eyed, followed Wayne, picked up her apron and went back to work.
Bill had front-loaded the broiler, kept the drawer mostly open but put hamburgers and some steaks on to cook slowly while he stayed over on the sauté station and worked the eggs and omelets. He hung as many dupes as he could on the board and read through those he couldn’t hang up to make sure when he got to them there was nothing that would hold him up. Everything else done and having to wait for a well-done steak was the pits.
He was frying eggs and making omelets when Wayne resumed his position. He told Wayne stay over on the broiler until he finished what he was working and then they could switch.
So they worked it out and Wayne gave Bill big kudos for doing what he did, how he did. Bill, by this point in his career was way too experienced to let what happened befuddle him.
In this restaurant the office was in the very front of the kitchen off to the side past where the pot-washer worked. By proximity, it was behind the back wall of the bar.
Back to front in the back of the house of this place were the prep kitchen (at the back of which was the one walk-in box), the line then the pantry station. Beyond the pantry station were the doors to the dining room on one side and a trout/lobster tank on the other side. They alternated, one week trout, one week lobster. Past that tank was a hall along which was the dishwasher machine and the pot-washer station. Then came the office.
Rick, the manager, was very much like Drenovis. He was big, chubby, brusque and insistent upon having things his way even though he knew he couldn’t quite get things exactly his way from the kitchen staff. The one great distinction between Rick and Drenovis was that Rick did not mess around with the waitresses. Tony, the manager of the other store owned by this owner, did that enough for all the management.
Rick was a numbers man so when he came out of the office and took in the scene, he started churning numbers in his head, figuring the damage Wayne and Jackie were doing to the meal’s profits. He didn’t say anything to Wayne until after the rush and when he said he was firing Jackie and had a good mind to fire him too, Wayne said he didn’t care, to make himself happy.
Turned out he didn’t do anything. When he said he was going to fire Jackie, Wayne said he’d quit, so Rick put it all on the back burner, which meant that both Wayne and Jackie were lame ducks but didn’t know it yet. Rick would get rid of both of them, but only when the timing was right for him.
Bill caught a bonus. Just before Rick was leaving he asked to see Bill in the office. He thanked him for working the line alone the way he did, for salvaging what he could of a messed up situation. He slipped Bill a fifty-dollar bill and told not to say anything to anyone.
Sometimes it’s good to be good at your job.

Police Investigate Murder of Former Arkansas Senator Linda Collins-Smith – Frequent Critic of CPS Corruption
by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News
from: Medical Kidnap
Former Arkansas Senator Linda Collins-Smith was found dead in her home last week, and local media sources are reporting that her death is being investigated as a homicide.
Collins-Smith was a frequent critic of government corruption, but who the attacker was and what the possible motive might have been are not being reported, and the public may never know, as Third Judicial District Judge Harold Erwin has ordered that documents and evidence obtained by the police during this investigation are to be sealed.
[Collins-Smith’s former press secretary Ken] Yang says that her death is being investigated as a murder. Yang also tells KATV content partner, KAIT8 that Collins-Smith was found shot in her home.
According to Yang, neighbors had reportedly heard gunshots a day or two before Collins-Smith was discovered today. Her body was reportedly found wrapped in some sort of blanket.
Was Linda Collins-Smith Investigating the Link Between Child Protective Services (CPS) and Child Trafficking That Led to Her Murder?
There is a lot of speculation about how Linda Collins-Smith’s criticisms of government corruption might have led to her murder, such as a possible investigation looking into a link between the seizure of children by CPS services (Arkansas Child Services Division of The Arkansas Department of Human Services) and child trafficking.
But so far, this appears to be only speculation, as Health Impact News has not found any evidence linking Collins-Smith to such an investigation, and as we mentioned above, the Judge has ordered all evidence uncovered by the police sealed.
We do know that Collins-Smith, during her tenure as a State Senator, did participate in hearings investigating CPS, as is evidenced from [a] video recording from 2016 where she questions the “disappearance” of certain emails that may have been covering up corruption.
Some have produced what appears to be a screen shot of her Facebook Page, with what is reported to be her last Facebook Post before her death.
She is allegedly sharing the Brandy Murrah story of the falsified lab tests that were allegedly used to take children into state custody falsely. (See: Alabama Lab Owner Arrested for Falsifying Results of Drug Tests Used to Medically Kidnap Children.)
She appears to be critical of Arkansas CPS (DHS in Arkansas) and judges who rule on child custody cases.
But that post does not appear on her Facebook page today, and we cannot verify if it is authentic or not.
Those most vocal critics concerning her death appear to be former constituents of hers, who claim she was one of the few in the Arkansas government that parents could go to for help on child custody issues.
One of those former constituents from Arkansas, Michaele Walker, took to Facebook Live to address Collins-Smith’s death.
Walker claims to have worked with Collins-Smith on CPS corruption cases linked to child trafficking nationwide, and that there is allegedly a current 2-year investigation pending looking for over $50 million in missing government funds.
What We do Know About Linda Collins-Smith
Based on published reports and public records, this is what we do know about former Arkansas Senator Susan Collins-Smith.
Collins-Smith served one term in Arkansas House of Representatives, District 80, from 2011 to 2013. She was elected as a Democrat, but switched parties in August 2011.
In 2014, she was elected to the Arkansas State Senate, District 19.
Collins-Smith lost to James Sturch in the Republican Party primary for the 19th district in Arkansas in May 2018 by fewer than 600 votes.
Politically, Collins-Smith described herself as: “Christian Conservative; Pro-Life, Business, Family, Guns, Veterans, Better Education & Patriot. Love God, Family and Country!”
She openly supported President Donald Trump and many of his policies.
She was married to Circuit Judge Philip Smith and the two reportedly went through a bitter divorce that was finalized in 2018.
As a result of testimony given during the divorce proceedings, Philip Smith was reprimanded by the Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission, and agreed to not serve again as a judge in the future.
The reprimand states that he: .. made improper use of court premises, or other resources to engage in extrajudicial activities that did not concern the law, the legal system, or the administration of justice.
What those “activities” were is not specified.
Child Sex-Trafficking Through Foster Care is a Known Problem – Is this What Happens to People Who Want to Expose It?
While we may not know the truth as to why Linda Collins-Smith was murdered, and may never know, she would not be the first State Senator to have a murder linked to allegations of investigating child trafficking.
Similar allegations have been made in the past regarding former Georiga Senator Nancy Schaefer. (See: Senator Nancy Schaefer: Did her Fight Against CPS Child Kidnapping Cause her Murder?)
What we do know is that the vast majority of children who are sexually trafficked today come from the nation’s Child Protection Services agencies and Foster Care, and that this child sex trafficking business is reported to be larger than the illegal drugs and illegal gun trades.

So the real fight happened right at the start of the rush. Jackie was already pissed off. Nothing Wayne could do about that, but he was trying. He offered her weed, offered her beer and even whiskey. He was doing a pretty good job of appeasing her too, Bill thought, and all seemed okay, as if Wayne was going to get away with it.
But then Jackie, who had dupes in her hand, walked into the kitchen while Wayne and Bill were hitting up. Just the luck of the draw, a freak of a coincidence, simply bad timing.
She saw them. Couldn’t help that. Even though they were bent over and trying to be on the down-low, she couldn’t not see, couldn’t help but seeing, couldn’t help but going from already in the red zone to the red-hot blue flame.
“Goddamn it,” she yelled out. “You bastard.”
Wayne stood upright in all his six-two glory. He looked as if mommy had just walked in on him while he was playing with himself. Bill saw him turn red over his dark skin.
He started to say something, but Jackie flipped. She took the dupes she held and threw them in the air. Then she stood there and undid her apron.
“I’m through,” she said. “I’m through here and I’m through with you. So take the rest of your shit and shove it up your ass.” She stormed out past the line and out the door to the café.
Aja happened to be coming in with a handful of dupes as Jackie was walking out. Jackie purposefully hit Aja’s hand so she lost the dupes.
“Shit,” Aja said. She bent down and quickly started to pick up what she’d lost. Meanwhile Jackie stormed out. Wayne walked off the line and followed her.
That left Bill there alone, orders coming in from everywhere. Bill had lots of things working on the broiler and Wayne had two fry pans he was readying for orders of over-easy.
And there it was. Raul picked up Jackie’s orders. He slipped them under the bell. Two other waitresses walked in with dupes and handed them directly to Bill. Bill, for want of anything else to do with them, slipped them under the bell too.
So they were pretty much at a standstill. Not much Bill could do. He stood there, all alone on the line, figuring best how to sort it out. Only solution was to work what he could see of the dupes hung on the board, make sure nothing on the broiler burned, decide what he could send out at the moment.
Out on the loading dock, Wayne grabbed Jackie by the wrist and attempted to head her back into the prep kitchen. He didn’t want to argue with her where customers could see. But it was too late and she was too irate for getting moved. She didn’t let him hold her, didn’t let him move her. The bull was seeing red.
They were yelling at each other. All at once it was kind of funny, surely embarrassing and definitely bad for business.
Aja had gone back out to the outdoor café and in no more than two or three minutes real time returned to the kitchen.
“People walking out,” she said. “From the dining room too.”
“We’re gonna run about a half hour behind,” Bill said. He didn’t face Aja as they talked. He was plating two hamburgers. Soon as he had them set on the plate, he opened the broiler drawer so nothing could burn and slid over to the end of the line where the fryers were. He’d dropped two full baskets of fries and lifted them now, shook away the excess grease.
Next up were two omelets and the fried eggs Wayne had never finished.

“Been giving you her coke,” Wayne said when Jackie was out of the kitchen. He looked at Bill and shrugged his shoulders. “What it is.”
Bill slapped him high five. “Hope you have more,” he said.
“Got plenty. Just we have to keep it to us. Ain’t enough for the three of us.”
“Pay you back soon as he gets in.”
“No problem,” Wayne said.
Wayne was finished the fried eggs, plated them, put some home fries and sausage on the plate, set the plate under the warmer lights. He tapped the bell.
In almost every kitchen almost everywhere Bill worked there was the little bell to tap to let the waitresses know to pick up. A moment after the ding, Aja, the one Asian waitress they had, came in to pick up her breakfast. Aja stood only four-eleven. She was thin as a toothpick with no tits to speak of. Her almond-shape eyes were slanted Vietnamese style and she wore her dark hair in a boy’s crew cut.
Aja was sweet on Bill, not for any particular reason Bill knew of. He had it in mind, this very day too, to mess with her specially because he noted she had done her nails. They were long and red. She had the finest fingers he’d ever seen.
“Hey baby,” she said to Bill, her breakfast in hand. “Join me outside if you can. I’m sitting out in the café.”
Bill smiled and nodded acknowledgement. He hit up again, quickly snorting four lines before he went out. He took a coffee with him and found where Aja was sitting. She had chosen a table at the back of the café closest to the kitchen door from the loading dock. He would have preferred a beer, but he didn’t want customers, if any came at this early time, to see him drinking.
“So,” Aja said when he sat down, “we gonna be busy?”
“If I knew I’d tell you. Sure looks and feels like it.”
“Good. Cause I’m working all day.”
“All work and no play’s no fun.”
“Play comes later.”
“I’m closing. You live around here?”
“Not far.”
“Live alone?”
“I have a roommate. You?”
“All by my lonesome.”
“That’s good to know.”
“Thinking what I’m thinking?”
“Depends upon what you’re thinking.”
“Thinking you probably know what I’m thinking. But if you want me to say it, thinking we don’t have to go home alone.”
“Sounds good to me.”
“You do coke?”
“Why?”
“I want to know how much to have on hand.”
“I don’t mind partying some.”
“Good,” Bill said.
That’s when they heard the crash. Bill recognized the crash, a plate, for sure, either down on the floor or against something. He hoped, as he sat there, it was down on the floor.
“I better go in,” he said quickly.
He found Jackie and Wayne in a stare-down. She was on the pantry side of the service counter, Wayne by the stove. She had dropped a plate, Bill saw. It was down there on the floor. He just didn’t know if it was purposeful or by accident, but if he was guessing…
Jackie was about to say something, but Wayne was trying to stop her. He was saying if she didn’t watch out the manager would be coming in and it surely wasn’t going to be him that got fired.
Jackie flashed Wayne the bird. It said what she wanted to say to him but quietly. About that time the manager did come into the kitchen. He’d heard the plate drop.
“Everything okay?” he asked.
Everything was not okay. In fact, everything was about as far from okay as could be, just they couldn’t see it yet. Jackie contained herself for the moment, ordered her breakfast from Wayne while the manager stood there. Bill went back on the line, the manager back to the office.

Obama was the big winner because he understood several key things. First, he understood that because he was Black he could get away with almost anything. He understood that the media was on his side, much more so than as just an ally. He understood that the media was in love with him and that they were willing to cover up many things, to not report the negatives and to hide that which he wanted hidden.
Obama also understood the dynamics of the breakdown in language and reasoning and how to capitalize on it. He understood that he could do anything he wanted and not be called to task simply because of this breakdown in reasoning and language. What for many of us would seem to be wholly illogical and near-crazy was presented by the media as acceptable and rational.
So overall, Obama was and remains (no one knows for just how long though) the big winner.
Here’s a partial list of others who were big winners because of Obama:
- the rich
- illegal immigrants
- non-citizen residents who were able to vote fraudulently and collect benefits here in America
- illegal aliens who were able to collect benefits under Obama’s policies
- Democratic non-profit organizations
- organizations like Planned Parenthood
- organizations like black lives matter
- climate change proponents whose findings mirrored what the government wanted them to be
- colleges and universities intent upon suppressing conservative speech and thought
- Communist/Socialist countries like Cuba and Venezuela
- China, Russia, Iran and North Korea
- The Palestinians
- the mainstream media (except for Fox)
- Socialists here in America
- people like George Soros
- those supporting anarchy and the breakdown of America
And of course there were a lot of others, but this is a good representative list.
Winners and losers have a symbiotic relationship. If there is one there is the other. So if Obama was the big winner, and there’s very little doubt about that, then somewhere, somehow, there has to be a big loser, or, a big loser and then an extensive list of also-big losers under the Obama administrations.
The biggest losers were the American people, all of the American people.
It remains to be seen if the world is a big loser too because the full effects of the Obama administrations are not wholly seen yet and are being somewhat undone by the current presidency. Nevertheless, whether you like America or not and/or like capitalism or not, America is the most charitable country in the world. It leads the world in medical research and gives the most foreign aid to other countries except for China, but a good percentage of China’s aid is for commercial access rather than development and welfare.
It’s logical and it goes without saying that if the Obama administration could give around $150 billion to Iran, the leader of the terrorist world that openly advocates the complete annihilation of the United States and Israel, the American people were the biggest losers.
There are many other reasons besides the Iran debacle which make the American people the big losers under eight years of Obama. They range from poor economic policies to a breakdown of the traditional sense of justice as it was known prior to the Obama years.
Listen carefully to the Democrat “speak.” They continually signal they actually see the American people as losers.

Turn left! Not left, right! Not right! I said turn left. Don’t you know the difference between left and right? What kind of parent are you? How can you be a parent?
In a nutshell, this is how Child Protective Services (CPS) workers treat you and make you feel once they are in your life.
Rule Number One: Never let them in your life.
If you’ve read the Nancy Schaefer piece, which is the headline piece for this material, you can see that messing with Child Protective Services is dangerous even for a prominent politician. At best, CPS is a benevolent broker of children that fashions itself as a champion of children who need protection. At worst, and this is the case much, much more than as a do-gooder, it is a for-profit dealer in human flesh whose tentacles reach into the darkest worlds of child prostitution and child slave trade.
Like every large government agency, CPS was begun with earnest humanitarian intent but has morphed into a money-hungry viper intent upon only one thing: its own survival at any cost. This is, by the way, Social Darwinism.
Testimonial:
We broke Rule Number One. It happened in New Jersey and the Agency was DYFS, the Division of Youth and Family Services. Toward the end of our struggles with DYFS they changed their name to the Division of Child Protection and Permanency. That is issue for a different discussion. Painfully noticeable in the name change, however, is the elimination of any pretext of working with families. We can’t underscore enough the enormity of the significance of such a change in focus and scope.
I tried to turn left. I really did. But I told you to turn right. No, you told me to turn left. Are you telling me that I don’t know which way I told you to turn? (Implication: how dare you correct me? How dare you argue with me?) Okay, I’ll turn right. But I told you to turn left.
This was pretty much the demeanor of every DYFS visit once they were in our lives. The caseworker would go through our house as if it were public domain. One time she found a yogurt that had expired the day before and accused us of feeding our kids expired and no-good food. She suggested that we could go to the grocery store together (of course not her, but one of the DYFS aides) so she could show us how to read the expiration dates and pick the freshest food. That one of us had three advanced degrees including a Doctorate was of no import. In fact it was a negative because the caseworker was self-conscious about her own lack of education.
Another time, the driver, the same aide who was to take us shopping, commented to her that our child’s clothes were too small. In fact the foster mother had dressed our child that day in the second-hand stuff she always put our child in. The result of this comment was the caseworker’s demand that we go clothes shopping with—you guessed it—the aide, not the caseworker herself, so we could learn what sizes our child wore. We actually agreed to this but insisted that the caseworker take us since we wanted to please her and wanted to make sure what we bought fit correctly. Of course the shopping trip never materialized. But the judge would read in her case log that we refused to go shopping to learn how to dress our child.
–Anonymous
Sound familiar? Ring a bell? CPS workers are known for making parents second guess whether it is time to take a breath. That is how devastating their criticisms and recriminations, their antagonistic, demeaning, belittling manners, are. Their goal is to make your head spin so that in the end they are sure to have justification for keeping your children once they’ve seized them. They want to keep your children for profit, nothing more.
Rule Number One: Never let them in your life.
