Author and conservative commentator Peachy Keenan is sick and tired of yesterday's soccer mom being treated as today's "domestic extremist", in public discourse by media gatekeepers and government officials alike—and all the while parents are sheepishly and too easily abdicating their natural role as captains and defenders of the household.

"They like to make us, the normal people, the moms and dads of America into extremists. But if you look around it's pretty easy to see who the real extremists are," Keenan told Harris Faulkner on Fox prime time Tuesday night. https://www.foxnews.com/video/6328922595112
She is calling for a back to the basics while writing from deep behind 'enemy lines': southern California. "Parenting is not a game. There is no do-over. You are all that stands between your small charges and the roiling storms ahead—and the band of purple-haired nonbinary pirates that’s about to storm the deck."
Keenan has written a new handbook of sorts, or a practical guide to winning the culture war and protecting your family from the ravings of "Childless weirdos have taken over every institution we look to for guidance on how to raise good citizens..."

Keenan holds nothing back in the following blistering commentary from her book [emphasis ZH]:

It has become only too clear what this absence of parental authority has wrought. Truly insane people have taken over the American education system, Big Pharma, and Big Tech. They know the best way to reach the Final Solution of the American family is to focus on young, impressionable minds. We are enjoying the fruits of their labor now: an explosion of teen depression and suicide, an epidemic of children who are confused if they’re boys or girls, and an incredible 40 percent of Gen Z reporting that they are some letter in the ever-expanding alphabet soup known as LGBTQ+.

You had a baby? Look at you—you’re the captain now!
Or are you?
The words on a poster taped to a teacher’s classroom door at a New Jersey public school expose the precarious corner American parents have been painted into. “If your parents aren’t accepting of your identity, I’m your mom now.” The poster featured a drawing of a mama bear tending to her bear cubs, who are each painted the color of a different LGBTQ flag.
Parents, I have bad news. You’ve got competition. Someone posted a job listing looking for a new authority figure in your house, and they hired everyone who applied. Lots of other adults, most of them unpleasant strangers, would like to raise your children for you—or at least get your children to hate you.
This may already be happening—and you’ll be the last to know! All your hard work to keep creeps, perverts, and kiddie-sniffers away from your kids may get reversed in an instant when you’re not looking.
Some parents are okay with this. They can barely handle “adulting” themselves and are thrilled not to make any tough parental decisions. Abdicating their natural role as master and commander of the household is lazy, but it’s a defensive posture. They live in terror of accusations from other parents of “closed-mindedness,” or worse, being a prude.
American parents have either forgotten their innate, God-given authority over their household or surrendered it in the face of relentless pressure over many years from the outside. Just as millennia of trickling snowmelt can hollow out mighty granite mountains and turn them into canyons, a half-century of unchecked influence by feminists and far-left progressives have chipped away at the role of parents in their children’s lives. What is left is a barren wasteland, a valley of shadows, where mothers and fathers have been reduced to nothing more than the oldest dependents in the house.
Your job as a parent is not easy, but it’s simple: feed, nurture, love, and protect. In the face of life-and-death danger—say, an escaped tiger or an ax-wielding lunatic—probably 100 percent of parents would risk their lives for their children, even die, without hesitation. So why are so many reluctant to defend their children from less obvious, but equally dangerous, scenarios?
You can tell when you’re about to be trampled by elephants. It’s trickier when the trampling is invisible and being committed by a young teacher with peace stickers on xe/xer’s car. I’ll grant that having pro- nouns in your bio is not quite the same red flag as cruising a playground in a car with no door handles on the inside, but it’s still a red flag parents need to fear.
People who manage to produce offspring are too often seduced into voluntarily surrendering their authority over them. They allow various “experts” to hold sway over their kids. Exhausted and confused, they willingly hand their kids off to the local public school teachers’ unions, the DEI struggle-session facilitators, the storytelling drag queens, and the sex-education consultants who arrive at school with teaching props, including wholesome kid-friendly items like dildos and anal lube.

They all share a common goal: to dilute your authority and increase their own. They aim to groom America’s children from birth to become compliant consumers of all they wish to sell them: bespoke genders, any-term abortion, strictly enforced racial hierarchies, a lifetime of therapy, prescription drugs, and whatever political and social ideology they choose to upload into their brains.
God forbid you are the only parent at your school who keeps your fifth grader home on Share Your Favorite Sex Toy Day. What will people say?
Allow me to remind you gently: it’s your job to steer the ship, avoid icebergs, prevent scurvy, and stave off mutinies. Parenting is not a game. There is no do-over. You are all that stands between your small charges and the roiling storms ahead—and the band of purple-haired nonbinary pirates that’s about to storm the deck.
Sexualized Early and Often
Imagine being the only one at the PTA meeting who stands up and objects to your second grader studying detailed diagrams of adult genitalia, or your middle schoolers instructed on how to grant consent to anal sex. (These are real sex ed guidelines introduced in New Jersey public schools in 2020.)
Your choices are stark: assert your authority over your children and get called a bigot or go along with the madness and let them take your child to places you don’t want them to go.
How bad is it? Bad enough that Tiara Mack, a “reproductive justice advocate” and “child sex educator” running for state senator in Rhode Island tweeted this in 2021: “Really excited for the house sex ed bill hearing later today. Teaching comprehensive, queer inclusive, pleasure-based sex ed was a highlight of my time teaching.”
This is who wants to talk to your six-year-old about how to “pleasure” themselves and their partner!
The first step in any cult, or any abusive relationship, is to get the victim to sever ties to their outside friends and family. Maybe you’ve seen this happen to people you know. They suddenly change their phone number, delete their social media, and have a new friend now—one that has them spellbound. Once children come to believe their mom and dad are clueless bigots and racists who are holding them back from being who they are, the cult leaders own them.
Government-run public schools have accomplished “regime change” in America and transformed us, slowly, from a society centered around the family, where the schools work for the parent, into a society centered around government employees, where families are required to supply the raw goods for the teachers’ unions to mold as they see fit.
Year after year, their assembly lines have been left unsupervised to churn out freshly minted graduates. These graduates move on to college, where their high school indoctrination is hardened and polished by professors. The end product is a citizen who will go to his grave believing a set of Ministry of Truth–approved lies: “whiteness” is intrinsically evil, abortion is health care, there are dozens of genders, America was founded on racism and must be dismantled, marriage is oppressive and bad for women, children hold you back, and unchecked sexual “exploration” with a variety of partners of every gender is the surest path to emotional happiness.
Sane people have a terrible choice to make: exercise parental authority over what their children are taught and risk financial ruin, social blackballing, and permanent cancellation—or allow their kids to be turned against them.
When a teacher or government official replaces the parent as the ultimate authority in the child’s life, all bets are off. Educators know that any adult with the authority to influence a child has the power to expose said child to any radical or extreme ideas they want.
To them, you are the extremist if you don’t think young children need to learn about sex and gender dysphoria yet. You are the extremist if you question a teacher or school administrator’s choice of books to read or lessons to teach. You are an extremely racist extremist if you’d rather not force a five-year-old to feel bad about the color of his skin and apologize for it.
In California, students in middle school can ask their school to change their names and genders in the school computer system, and the school is not permitted to inform the parents. The school authorities and the teachers are legally allowed to conspire with eleven-year-olds in sixth grade to induct them into a cult and keep it secret. Literally “it’ll be our secret,” a classic groomer move.
These government educational bureaucrats may not drive window-less vans and carry dirty magazines and candy bars to lure young boys (although let’s be honest, some do), but they are even more dangerous. Any parents who send a child into an environment like this, either knowingly or blindly, are forfeiting their authority over their kid.
The Regime’s child-catchers are prowling the locker rooms and cafeterias looking for lost, confused pre-teens to cart off to Pleasure Island, where they can get transformed into donkeys without their parents’ consent.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Disney is working on a new version of Pinocchio where he asks the Blue Fairy to turn him into a real girl.
Parental Surrender
Too many sentient adults seem to simply wait for a new update to the operating system to decide what to do with their kids. They unquestioningly accept the Current Parenting Thing, the rancid gruel served up as “education” at the local public school.
They surrender their kids to the authorities, in all their forms: teachers, principals, pediatricians, drag queens reading stories, social media influencers, YouTubers, Disney, Netflix, TikTok, the Kardashians—anyone who is credentialed as a “kid expert” or “important” now holds more sway over American kids than their own mothers and fathers. “Who am I to tell my kids how to behave, or what to learn, or how to think about the world? I’m just a random person who had a baby. I made plenty of mistakes in my life. How can I possibly ask my children to obey me?”
This is why we can’t have nice things. This is why healthy toddlers were kept in COVID masks for two years while they sat in sandboxes alone, outside, in rain or sleet. This is why you see massive brawls happening at middle schools, where kids punch their own teachers. This is why children are indoctrinated into the cult of trans, coached and groomed to say their pronouns, to switch genders, to explore various “sexualities” and “identities.” This is why mothers pimp out their own children as “drag kids” and put little boys in princess dresses and post the photos on Instagram while thousands of likes wash over them.
This is what abdicating the parenting throne looks like. Childless weirdos have taken over every institution we look to for guidance on how to raise good citizens, and no, I’m not talking about Catholic priests.
It has become only too clear what this absence of parental authority has wrought. Truly insane people have taken over the American education system, Big Pharma, and Big Tech. They know the best way to reach the Final Solution of the American family is to focus on young, impressionable minds.
We are enjoying the fruits of their labor now: an explosion of teen depression and suicide, an epidemic of children who are confused if they’re boys or girls, and an incredible 40 percent of Gen Z reporting that they are some letter in the ever-expanding alphabet soup known as LGBTQ+.
Everywhere, in every way, the fertile, fallow minds of children are being terraformed by people who identify as “fur baby” parents.
I wouldn’t let fur baby parents walk my dog, let alone educate my eight-year-old.
Authority Atrophied
This is why you must exercise your parental authority early and often. You must speak up!
“No, I don’t want you to ask my teenage son if he’s comfortable with his gender during his doctor visit.”
“No, you can’t wear your sister’s Elsa dress to school today, because boys don’t wear dresses, now get in the car and never ask me that again.”
“No, you can’t buy those shorts that display the entire lower half of your rear end.”
“No, you can’t have a TikTok account, and if I find it on your phone, say goodbye to the phone.”
Parental authority makes you the heavy in the house and the bouncer at the door. Pull on your big boy pants and lay down the law, or the law is going to lay down all over you.

I got this Jade 57 win streak EVO and it happens to be numbered 57 😁 Not sure how they're numbered since I only saw 2 others in the marketplace, and they were numbered in the hundreds..

Carson Whisenhunt made his Double-A debut, and it was more of the same that he had been handing out all season. And the Giants 2021 1st round pick Will Bednar made his first appearance in a game in nearly a year, which is good news for the Giants. And in a shortened day, Luis Matos hit his second home run in Sacramento.

AAA: Las Vegas 8, Sacramento 5

• Sacramento slugged out three home runs, but couldn’t pull out the win against Las Vegas. The home runs knocked in four of the team’s five runs. But Las Vegas got eight runs while getting just two home runs.
• Luis Matos went 2-for-5 with his second Triple-A home run. It’s a bounce back for Matos after he went hitless in his last game (which he hadn’t done since May 26th). Matos now has a .375/.409/.545 batting line.

• DH Joey Bart continued his rehab, going 0-for-2 with a strikeout and two HBP. Luckily, Bart seemed okay after each. In five games in this rehab sting, Bart is 2-for-17 (.118), with two HBP and no walks to eight strikeouts.
• Shortstop Tyler Fitzgerald went 2-for-5, and got caught stealing for the first time this season. Since the start of June, Fitzgerald is 9-for-23 (.391).
• Starting pitcher Drew Strotman gave up three runs in 4.0 innings, on five hits and four walks, with two strikeouts. Strotman’s ERA sits at 6.49, and is allowing a .292 batting average in 11 games this season.

Richmond Notes:

• Carson Whisenhunt made his Double-A debut, and it was successful as the Squirrels got the win. With five shutout innings, he set the right tone for the game, although it was still scoreless when he exited. But after Altoona scored what would be their only run in the top of the sixth, the Squirrels scored four in the bottom half, led by a Riley Mahan home run, and they would take it.
• Carson Whisenhunt went 5.0 shutout innings in his Double-A debut, striking out seven with two walks and two hits allowed. That comes after Whisenhunt had a 1.42 ERA in six starts at High-A and a 3.29 ERA in four starts at Low-A. Overall, in 44.0 innings, Whisenhunt has struck out 63 and walked only 14.

• The rest of the game was handled by Nick Zwack, who walked the first batter he faced and let him score, but held the line the rest of the way. In 4.0 innings, he allowed the one run on three hit and a walk, with six strikeouts.
• First baseman Riley Mahan went 1-for-4 with the home run, and also added a walk. That was Mahan’s seventh home run of the season, and moved him into the team lead for homers. It broke a 4-game hitless streak for Mahan, but he now has a .191/.217/.389 batting line on the year.
• DH Vaun Brown was 2-for-5 with a triple, his second at Richmond. After 12 games, that bumps his batting line up to .348/.434/.630, with three doubles, two triples, and two home runs, with five walks to 18 strikeouts.

• Brett Auerbach was 2-for-3 with a double and a stolen base. The new month has been a turn around for Auerbach, and he’s now 6-for-18 (.333) with a double, and a walk against four strikeouts since the start of the month, against having a .153/.211/.190 batting line on the year.

https://twitter.com/GoSquirrels/status/1666610904991924225?s=20

• Second baseman Hayden Cantrelle went 2-for-3 with a double, his seventh of the season. It’s his first multi-hit game since May 24th. He’s batting .216/.392/.345 on the year. He also had the most literal rundown as a fielder (seriously, watch this highlight).

https://twitter.com/GoSquirrels/status/1666604073154490368?s=20

• Center fielder Simon Whiteman went 2-for-4, with two singles and an outfield assist on the day. That put him back above the Mendoza Line after he dipped under it after the last game. Whiteman is now 3-for-14 (.214) with a double since the month of June started up.

Eugene Notes:

• Despite Eugene batting last, this game was, as all this week will be, played in Washington. This was just ugly from the start, literally, as Tri-City scored all ten of their runs in the first three innings to run away with this game.
• The offense in this game was mostly thanks to Victor Bericoto, who went 3-for-3 with a walk and his now team-leading home run. He moves ahead of Luis Toribio and Grant McCray with his 9th home run in his 48th game. He’s closing in on his career high, which was 12 home runs he hit in 107 games in 2022. Bericoto now has a batting line of .297/.351/.500.
• Grant McCray went hitless, but went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts and two walks. That gives McCray 71 strikeouts to 31 walks in 50 games this season. It’s a very slightly better rate from last season, when he had 170 to 67 walks in 120 games.
• Welcome back Luis Toribio! Toribio has been out since coming out of the May 23rd game, when he drew a walk in his first plate appearance and left immediately. He was 1-for-4 on the day, which keeps his numbers steady, as he’s now got a batting line in .252/.357/.487.
• It was a rough game for starter Eric Silva, who gave up two runs in an inning of work, on two hits and three walks while striking out two. It was Silva’s shortest start of the season, as his ERA jumped up to 4.19 from 3.82 after this one game.
• Another pitcher with a rough game was Ty Weber, who gave up a season-high eight runs in 1.2 innings, allowing them on two walks and seven hits, two of which were home runs, while striking out two. That doubles his previous season-high in runs allowed, and jumped his ERA up to 8.25.
• One reliever that did well was Joe Kemlage, who struck out four in 3.1 innings, allowing just two hits. Kemlage now has a4.61 ERA with 31 strikeouts to 11 walks in 27.1 innings.

Low-A: San Jose 4, Visalia 3

San Jose Notes:

• San Jose edged out Visalia with a pair of 2-run innings. The first run San Jose scored came on a bases-loaded HBP, the second HBP in a row, and a sacrifice fly in the 3rd inning. Visalia would tie it, but then San Jose took the lead for good on a 2-run single by Turner Hill in the 6th.
• Catcher Onil Perez went 2-for-5 on the day with two singles. Perez has a batting line of .311/.379/.400, with 14 walks to 15 strikeouts, and had five doubles, two triples, and a home run.
• DH Turner Hill went 2-for-5 with two RBI. In six games, Hill is now 9-for-27 (.333) with a double, with two walks and three strikeouts, and five steals.
• Right fielder Tanner O’Tremba was 1-for-4 with San Jose’s only extra-base hit, a double, with a walk. O’Tremba has 13 doubles now, to go with two triples and three home runs, giving him a batting line of .276/.387/.442.
• Shortstop Jose Ramos went 1-for-3 with a HBP and two stolen bases. That gives Ramos 13 steals on 14 attempts in 46 games this season, and he’s now batting .213/.314/.328.
• Starting pitcher Jack Choate gave up a run in 4.0 innings, on two hits and a walk, with five strikeouts. It’s the first run Choate has allowed in his last three appearances. Choate now has a 2.31 ERA with 56 strikeouts to 17 walks in 39.0 innings.
• Reliever Sean Newcomb gave up a run in 2.0 innings, on two hits, with three strikeouts and no walks. It was Newcomb’s second game with San Jose, and he now has allowed the one run in 3.0 innings, with five strikeouts to no walks.

ACL Giants Orange Notes:

• Second baseman Armando Alvarez led the Orange team in a bad offensive day, going 2-for-3 with a pair of singles. The 28-year old started the season in Sacramento, but got injured on April 12th, and is rehabbing his way back. In two games at Arizona, went 3-for-6 with a double.
