I feel like Trump needs to read this entry. Handling Bullies and Borderlines EFFECTIVELY (whether we call 'em Communists, Socialists, or Marxists... at their baseline, they're sociopathic) means roaring much louder, and doing "investigations" AFTER incarcerating the slimy bastards.

I appreciate the advice and will reflect on my own parenting behavior in an effort not to be a bully, knowingly or unknowingly. I have had the good fortune to have rarely felt bullied. My parents were loving, I’m 9th of 10 kids, and even having joined the military while in high school didn’t result in any bullying. I do distinguish military discipline and Catholic school discipline as different from bullying.

I do like your style of direct writing and practical advice on how to address. I also like that you have a flair for the kind of language that resonates with the working man and woman. Finally, I would add that when we witness bullying, it can be a wonderful opportunity to first help someone less fortunate and also correct one who is, well, a bully. Be on the alert for state and employer bullying in the form of DEI training in which they bully some by casting them as oppressors simply die to their skin color. That’s racist bullying and that it is state sponsored makes it more dangerous and difficult to confront.

LOL... Why do ya think this current administration makes me wanna grab an arsenal and go postal?! I daydream about forming a secret militia. "Happy Holidays" feels dreadfully incongruent in today's America. Oy. Don't get me started. G'night. :~)
