WE HAVE A CRISIS OF FATHERLESSNESS - US REPRESENTATIVE MIKE JOHNSON
WE HAVE A CRISIS OF FATHERLESSNESS IN AMERICA
U. S. Congressman Mike Johnson from Louisiana stopped by for an interview with Dad Talk Today at #CPAC2021. Representative Johnson asserted not only that we have a crisis of fatherlessness in the United States, but that fatherlessness is the root cause of many societal issues. Of all the people that we interview, Representative Johnson was one of the people who knew the facts and the research and understood the implications of fatherlessness on our children and grandchildren.
Representative Johnson is a strong and committed Christian who is firmly committed to the institution of the nuclear family and looking for policies that will help to strengthen the family, prevent unnecessary family fragmentation, separation, and divorce, and make sure that BOTH parents are actively involved in the lives of their children.
Brooks McKenzie is a Ph.D. and a recognized expert in parental attachment theory. He does NOT provide custody evaluations or "opinions"; instead, everything that he does it based on scientifically validated models.
In this interview, Brooks talks about the impact that disrupting the attachment cycle of a child can have. Not only is it abusive to the child, but it can create a form of brain damage. Yet the family law industry knows NOTHING about attachment theory and regularly creates devastating and even lifelong consequences by disrupting a child's attachment cycle.

I HAVE A FACE - GIVING A FACE TO THE FACELESS VICTIMS OF ABORTION
At the National Religious Broadcasters Conference in Grapevine, Texas, Jerry and Michelle Shelfer spoke with me about their ministry helping to heal people who have been impacted and hurt by abortion and "giving a face" to the faceless victims of abortion. Jerry and Michelle spoke of their own healing from abortion - a healing that took years.
The two billion faceless victims of abortion need to have a face, and hundreds of millions of people need healing from the tragedy of abortion.

A MESSAGE TO ALL PASTORS, POLITICAL LEADERS, AND CHRISTIANS.
If you agree, please share it with your pastor and legislators.
On August 14, 2021, the Values Advocacy Council (www.vac.org) hosted a conference entitled Fatherhood in Crisis in San Jose, California. The invited guests for the evening were members of Dad Talk Today - Eric Carroll, Melissa Isaak, Robert Garza, and Jeff Morgan.
In this fifth of six videos, Jeff Morgan discusses how unilateral "no-fault" divorce contributes to the erosion of religious liberties, which leads to the erosion of parental rights.
Unilateral no-fault divorce violates the U. S. and Texas Constitutions in multiple ways - perhaps most egregiously in the area of religious liberty. For most people, marriage has a religious component, which means that the state of Texas is forbidden from destroying marriages when the "rights of conscience" of one of the individuals have been violated. In her dissent in Waite v. Waiter (2001), Justice Kem Thompson Frost stated that Texas Family Code 6.001, Insupportability, was unconstitutional, because for the law or a judge to violate the rights of conscience of one person violated an individual's religious liberty protections. Simply, insupportability is blatantly constitutional when it is forced on an individual and a state-mandated divorce violates an individual's rights.
But the violation of religious liberties goes far beyond the initial act. Arrogant and out-of-control "family" court judges have ordered fathers out of the lives of their children for no reason. They have ordered them to stop praying with their children, stop reading the Bible to their children, not to be able to parent their children until they get a psychological evaluation, or to send their children to a school that embraces and teaches anti-Christian Critical Race Theory. Religious liberty violations abound - as do multiple violations of fundamental parental rights.
In order for this abuse to stop, we must address the issue and lie of unilateral "no-fault" divorce. This practice is insidiously evil and wantonly destroys families, yet is defended by many family law attorneys, simply because the practice is lucrative to their business.
The church needs to stop being uninformed, silent, and cowardly, and demand that this violation of religious liberty cease - IMMEDIATELY.

Interference with Child Custody is a big problem not only in Texas, but throughout the United States. The "custodial" parent sometimes thinks or acts as if she or he has the right to destroy the child's relationship with the other parent. The issue is so serious that Texas Penal Code 25.03 considers interference a state jail felony. However, this remedy is rarely enforced in Texas, which enables the custodial parent to brainwash and abuse a child and bully, torment, and harass the other parent.
In light of this, Texas Representative David Cook proposed House Bill 969, which would permit municipalities the ability to impose civil money penalties of up to $500 on the interfering parent.
Eleven individuals testified on this bill and offered positive feedback and critiques. All individuals either supported the bill or were neutral on the bill. NO ONE opposed the bill. All agreed that this bill was a good start to address this problem.
Testimony for the individuals is timestamped below:

SEVEN PROGRESSIVE REMEDIES OR PUNISHMENTS THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR INTERFERENCE WITH CHILD CUSTODY
1. Restoration of Time: When a parent intentionally interferes with the other parent’s parenting time with a child, the parent who interferes should have to restore the time to the other parent. Depending on the circumstances and frequency of interference, a one-to-one, two-to-one, three- to-one, or much higher time swap.
2. Counseling: In cases where the interference was due to mental health issues, the individual may be ordered to attend counseling or therapy to address the underlying issues that led to the interference.
3. Community Service: Another punishment that may be considered for interference with child custody is community service. This may involve the individual performing a certain number of hours of community service, such as working at a local charity or community organization.
4. Fines: Individuals who interfere with child custody may be ordered to pay a fine as a form of punishment. The amount of the fine may vary depending on the severity and frequency of the interference and the jurisdiction in which the offense occurred.
5. Imprisonment: In more severe cases of interference with child custody, the individual responsible may be sentenced to imprisonment. In Texas, Texas Penal Code 25.03 considers interference with child custody an offense against the family and is a state-jail felony. However, this remedy is rarely enforced.
6. Investigation for Child Abuse: When one parent seeks to alienate a child from the other parent, the alienating parent could be investigated for child abuse for seeking to destroy the relationship the other parent has with the child.
7. Loss of Custody/Visitation Rights: Depending on the circumstances of the interference, the individual may be ordered to lose custody or visitation rights with the child on for a temporary or more extended period of time.

On March 24, 2021, Texas Representative Steve Toth held a news conference to discuss the need for House Bill 68, the Innocence Protection Act - or more popularly known as the #SaveJames Bill.
For all intents and purposes, the bill prevents "professionals" from trying to socially, psychologically, medically, or physically "transition" a minor child from his or her biological sex to another sex. Such actions would be defined as child abuse. It is a sad commentary on our society that such a bill is even necessary.
In this testimony, gerontololgist Sarah Jessica Fields says that transgenderism is the largest medical scandal in the history of the world involving children. She reminded people there are vast corporate interests involved in the transgender industry. Why? Because transitioning individuals are medical patients for life, and the drugs involved are very expensive. In other words, some people are getting very rich by selling a lie to society.

Even though corrupt Judge Mary Brown of the 301st District Court, Dallas, Texas, illegally FORBADE the public from watching, she permitted her official court reporter SHANTEL BEHELER to send a "rough draft" of the transcript - a transcript that I think was supposed to be sealed to the public - to the Dallas Morning News. I fully expected Dallas Morning News reporter and LGBTQ activist Lauren McGaughy to publish an article about the case. Perhaps that is the reason that Dallas Morning News FAILED to report that corrupt Judge Mary Brown is CURRENTLY under investigation by the Texas Ethics Commission.

In this hearing, Judge Sandra Peake of the 257th Family District Court in Harris County, Texas, appears to George Saldana in a discriminatory manner, with disdain and disrespect. Because of the injustice and ill-treatment Mr. Saldana has experienced in the past at the hands of Judge Sandra Peake, several people were observing this hearing to serve as a check against judicial abuse and indiscretion.
Judge Sandra Peake appeared to get upset with George Saldana because he did not appear in person, yet his ex-wife, Carolyn Pena, also did not appear in person, and her attorney, Kelly Joseph, appeared virtually from what appears to be a hospital. Why did she single out George Saldana and not include Carolyn Pena and Kelly Joseph?
Judge Sandra Peake did not let them go into the breakout room with Mr. Saldana, yet she allowed Nicol Trombley from the Office of the Attorney General into the breakout room, after she said she had no participation in this case, but that she wanted to "monitor" the situation - yet she refused to let the court watchers monitor the situation.
Based on past hearings, I believe that Judge Sandra Peake is biased against Mr. Saldana, and I do not think that he could ever achieve justice in her courtroom. I believe that she should be recused - and I believe that the State Commission of Judicial Conduct should reprimand her for her bias against Mr. Saldana, which has been exhibited on multiple other occasions as well.

Tia Bess of Moms for Liberty spoke with me at CPAC 2023 about the importance of having BOTH parents involved in a child's life. You may not like your former spouse - you may not want to talk with your former spouse - but children need BOTH parents involved in their lives, and you should not speak poorly of the other parent in front of your child.

In this segment, we Cody and I talk about family courts. They are NOT family friendly. In fact, they are the very essence of tyranny, and their main goal is to destroy families.
