As a father of three children, Ive been drinking from the fire hose for a while now when it comes to collecting and sharing nuggets of wisdom that will (hopefully) serve them well as they become adults.

May the self-proclaimed people of reason and science be praised! What a tour de force of truth they offer us on a daily basis. Like the following five life lessons I want to make sure I nail down with my princess before I send her off into the world:

1. If you are ever photographed while on your knees, and a male of the leftist persuasion makes a sexual joke about you, make sure to publicly apologize for having put your feet up on the White House couch in the first place. I mean, sometimes you are just asking for it. Unless you pose partially topless while endorsing a classic childrens fairy tale. Then thats just art. And besides, real sexual harassment looks like not wanting to fund Planned Parenthood. The right to execute innocent babies shall not be infringed no matter what science says about when life begins. And as powerful as that is to contemplate in its own right, it becomes all the more compelling if you say it while wearing a pussy hat.

2. If you ever become a florist, a baker, or a nun, just plan on declaring your conscience dead from the get-go. Your God isnt wanted here. But if you must continue to insert a deity into your daily discussions, make sure your golden calf is purple and covered with glitter. Or try Islam, which is basically a get-out-of-jail-free card for pretty much everything. Not only can it magically supply you with more rights as a foreigner than someone whose descendants came over on the Mayflower, but it can also give you a really cool alibi for murder. Thats what one actor/graduate of Marie Harfs jobs program had to say about the natural consequences of Muslims not getting more acting roles: those guilty of such clear Islamophobia will turn to violent jihad as an alternative. So sayeth the religion of peace. Its all about justifiable triggers and safe spaces, really. If you are a Muslim, you get all of them. If you are a Christian, you get zero, and youre a bigot. The Constitution seems clear on that.

3. If you want to make a successful run in the business and/or entertainment world, make sure you avoid things like making money and consistently drawing an audience. Instead, get on board with a project that comes in eight parts and already bores the hell out of, if not outright disturbs, its audience after just one viewing. Because its still a win if it replaces something people actually care about watching during primetime television. Propaganda is fun like that. And if people ever take issue with your ham-fisted tactics, always remember that you have two very powerful weapons in your arsenal to defeat them: temper tantrums and violence. Because tolerance hurts darn it.

4. If you want to be president one day, and defended as bullet proof when accused of possibly wire-tapping your eventual replacement, make sure you lay a solid foundation of unassailable ethical alibis to offer you cover. Like if you like your doctor, you can keep it. Or wiretapping journalists who irritate you. Or making the IRS your rottweiler. Or winking at the sanctity of marriage just to win an election, before turning around and choking the country with your rainbow flag. Or believing you have the most magical pen and phone in the history of America. Or encouraging your secretary of state and national security adviser to lie about how and why people died in Benghazi. See what I mean? Bulletproof. The press will never cut through that curtain of integrity. Not that theyll even try.

5. Finally, if you want to tap into the unlimited potential of being created in the image and likeness of the creator of the universe, things like the Bible and the Declaration of Independence are for suckers. Who on earth would want to be guided by that which so many martyrs died a gruesome death for, or willingly sacrificed their lives, fortunes, and sacred honors? Not when you can be guided by the likes of philosopher kings like Chris Cuomo, Lena Dunham, or Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi D-Calif. (F, 10%). Look how far they are willing to stick their neck out for total depravity and sheer asshattery over and over and over again. So inspiring. In fact, Ive rarely seen such commitment except in Islam.

Unless Im feeling pretty and sick enough in the soul to deny the science dangling between my legs, then I belong on the cover of Vanity Fair. Where I will instantly become a better woman than you could ever hope to be, my daughter.

Have a nice life.

5 lessons progressives inspired me to teach my teenage daughter - Conservative Review

Last Tuesday, Donald TrumpDonald TrumpCongress, the clock is running out on small business tax reform Barbra Streisand tweets: Trump has made me gain weight Conservative radio host: 'Evidence is overwhelming' of Obama spying MORE was invited to address a joint session of Congress to share his vision for the country. Instead, he delivered what he knows best: a good show.

In the wake of that speech, while Beltway insiders applauded Trump for exceeding expectations that could not have been set any lower, those of us who listened more closely heard the same failed routine weve come to know from conservatives: a grab bag of giveaways for corporations and the wealthiest 1 percent, continued promises to take health care away from the most vulnerable, and divisive rhetoric that shamelessly and recklessly scapegoats immigrant communities.

Progressives have a very different view of the world, and throughout this past week in states across the country we showed what real leadership looks like. Not with empty words, like weve seen from Trump and other conservatives, but through powerful action.

As part of a coordinated week of action, hundreds of state lawmakers joined together with dozens of grassroots organizations and advocacy groups to advance a progressive economic agenda one that levels the playing field for working families through policies like paid sick days, paid family and medical leave, equal pay, raising the minimum wage and expanding overtime pay. We saw results.

Take Vermont, for example. Legislators and progressive advocates there have been working hard to pass legislation that would establish a statewide paid family and medical leave insurance program, so that all working Vermonters not just the wealthy few can spend time with newborns or care for loved ones who are seriously ill.

In Michigan, lawmakers held a press conference to announce the introduction of a paid sick leave bill, while Maryland legislators passed their paid sick days bill in the House and cleared a key Senate committee where it died last year. In Oklahoma, despite conservative lawmakers blocking their efforts, progressives fought hard to advance legislation that would support working families and ensure that women can earn equal pay for doing the same work as men.

Altogether, through this nationwide effort, legislators and allied groups in more than 30 states worked to advance over 130 progressive bills aimed at building an economy that works for everyone not just those at the top.

Why? Because we know the stakes; Trump and his conservative allies want to keep delaying and derailing policies that would give Americas working families a clear path to the middle class. Progressives are refusing to let that happen. Were pushing back at the state level to stand up for all families.

The fight for progressive change and the values that define us as Americans is no longer centered in Washington, D.C. Its happening in our own backyards, in partnership with the elected leaders in our communities who are fighting for our families each and every day.

We have our work cut out for us, with progressives still facing anemic levels of control of state legislatures, governorships, and state attorneys general. But if we commit ourselves to investing more resources in state legislative races and policy battles throughout the country, this is a fight we can win.

Our work cannot and will not stop with this week of action. Were just getting started, and we will use our momentum to keep countering Trumps failed agenda with a progressive, proactive vision that ensures opportunity for all Americans no exceptions.

The electoral map for Senate Democrats looks dark, indeed. But a flashing beacon emanates from right here in Nevada.

During the 2018 cycle, Democrats must defend 25 of the 33 Senate seats in play, including two held by independents who vote with the minority party. Of those, 10 are in states West Virginia, Missouri, North Dakota, Montana that Donald Trump won easily.

While politics in the social media age has become increasingly volatile and unpredictable, its not beyond the realm of possibility that Republicans could build upon their current 52-48 edge and find themselves in 2019 with a filibuster-proof majority in the upper chamber.

Nevada, however, offers Democrats a ray of sunshine. The party dominated the 2016 balloting in the Silver State, regaining control of the Legislature and flipping two congressional seats. As a result, Dean Heller is considered perhaps the most endangered Republican in the Senate.

This perceived vulnerability has generated an avalanche of ginned up progressive email blasts, social media posts and press releases attacking Sen. Heller for all manner of supposed transgressions and infractions, most involving his refusal to label Mr. Trump as the anti-Christ. In addition, the hey, hey, ho, ho crowd accuses Sen. Heller of ducking the voters by avoiding town-hall meetings and the like.

This is highly ironic, given that as The Associated Press reported last week liberal protesters are also threatening to eat their own. Many Senate Democrats have been laying low, the wire service revealed, for fear of taking heat from agitators on their port flank looking to push the party even further to the left.

At any rate, we wont presume to tell Sen. Heller how to conduct constituent outreach. Over the past 26 years, hes served in the Legislature, as secretary of state, in the U.S. House and now the Senate. Nevada voters have supported him in nine elections. He must be doing something right.

No doubt, Sen. Heller in the coming months will hold forums, meetings and other public events that Nevadans will be free to attend. Those seeking to protest his presence have a right to be heard and the senator should make a good-faith effort to explain his positions on the issues to those who harbor different views.

But Sen. Heller is under no obligation to endure the abusive, petulant, infantile and violent behavior that has become the militant progressives preferred approach to discourse in the Age of Trump. Recent town-hall meetings in many jurisdictions have presented an excuse for leftist agitators to threaten, disrupt and destroy property.

If those goading Sen. Heller are truly interested in a dialogue instead of a shouting match pre-packaged for the cameras and YouTube, theyll no doubt have plenty of opportunities to speak their piece.
