This is not “parenting.” There was no misbehavior that needed to be corrected. In fact, there is a manufactured issue based on the whim of a narcissist parent. This is “narcissistic parenting” - based on a need for control and to feed his own grandiosity & to be the center of attention.
Rep. Greg Murphy admits tariffs are hurting small businesses in his district, but says "this is parenting in a way. We have to take some really tough medicine."

Very interesting thread.
Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence
National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety.
This won’t go well—we love our parks.

Old Soviet joke for our times:
Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn't buy the paper.
One day the vendor asks what he's up to.
Guy says: "looking for an obituary."
Vendor says "those are towards the back of the paper, comrade."
Guy says: "not the one I'm looking for."
