Modern Insomnia: Navigating Today’s Chaos

Modern Insomnia: Navigating Today’s Chaos


If you’ve ever lain awake at night, pondering the peculiar parade that is our modern world, you are not alone. In fact, you’re in excellent (and probably sleep-deprived) company. Join me, dear reader, for a meandering stroll through the baffling bazaar of current events—a stroll filled with curious characters, economic contortions, and, of course, the ever-present background noise that makes insomnia seem downright logical.


Restless Nights and Restive Times

It’s hard to sleep these days. Not because of caffeine, but because I’m serenaded nightly by the cacophony of contemporary civilization. The soundtrack? Equal parts confusion, outrage, and a touch of “did that really just happen?” If only there were a snooze button for society.


Story Time, But Not As We Knew It

Once upon a time, story time meant fairy tales and talking animals. Now, it seems we’ve added a touch of theatrical flair, with drag queens reading to kids. Some call it progress, others call it performance art gone rogue. Either way, the plot twist is: society can’t agree on the moral of the story.


The Immigration Imbroglio

Tens of millions in the country without official paperwork—some say they get more assistance than our own veterans. It’s a bit like hosting a potluck where the guests eat first and the hosts get the leftovers. No wonder the host is grumpy.


Gang Bangers, Judges, and the Curious Case of the Protected Perpetrator

In today’s legal landscape, it sometimes feels like activist judges are playing defense for those who never quite got the hang of playing by the rules. Courtrooms: now with 25% more plot twists!


Presidents, Puppets, and the Mystery of the Marionettes

Why do we need a president? Is it just to keep the White House tour guides in business? And if the president is the puppet, who’s got their hand on the strings? I suspect the marionettes have marionettes, and somewhere, someone is making a fortune selling all the strings.


Economy: Where Prices Go Up, Wages Stand Still, and Politicians Get Richer

Sanders and company shout about living wages while their own bank accounts live quite comfortably. Meanwhile, regular folks are left with calluses and receipts for $8 eggs. Here’s a radical idea: maybe prices should come down instead of wages going up. But what do I know? I’ve never been invited to a Senate brunch.

Did you know: the more you earn, the more everything costs, and the only ones celebrating are the tax collectors, who get a bonus every time a price tag goes up. It’s like a game of Monopoly, but the banker always wins.


North Korea: Apocalypse Now, or Later?

Rumor has it that North Korea’s supreme leader instructed his people to launch nukes at the U.S. upon his demise. Loyalty or lunacy? Hard to tell. Either way, it’s proof that “Dear Leader” is not a job for the faint of heart (or the rational).


Shadow Governments and Conspiracy Cocktails

Was JFK snuffed out for being too much like Trump? Is the CIA running a shadow puppet show behind the scenes? Was the “Red Scare” just a shiny distraction? At this point, the only thing less believable than the official story is the unofficial one.


Higher Education: Now With 50% More Indoctrination

Is college just expensive brainwashing? If so, can I get a refund? And perhaps a certificate of “Critical Thinking, With Honors (Some Restrictions Apply)”?


The Curious Case of Flying Immigrants

The latest travel trend: the Biden administration was flying in thousands of newcomers and dropping them in red states, courtesy of NGOs with all the transparency of a foggy window. Apparently, “non-profit” is the new “trust me, bro.”


The Age-Old Question: Why?

Why does the media spin tales taller than Paul Bunyan? Why do politicians defend the indefensible? Why is the frog in the soup kettle still hanging on? Why can’t I get some sleep?


Conclusion: Pass the Ambien, Please

If you’ve made it this far, congratulations! You deserve a nap. Perhaps you’re considering joining me in a virtual world where the newsfeed is filled with nothing but puppy videos, and the only drama is whether the cat will knock over the vase. Until then, let’s keep asking questions (and maybe invest in earplugs).


Best,
A Fellow Sleepless Soul

Impact of AIM Act on HVAC Costs in America

Impact of AIM Act on HVAC Costs in America

In 2025, the American populace will face the added financial strain of a new refrigerant mandated by the AIM Act of 2020.

While much of the world is still using Freon, which has a high GWP or Global Warming Potential, the USA has already gone to a much lower form of coolant in 410A

This coolant will become increasingly scarce, significantly increasing repair costs.  By 2030, if not before, homeowners may face expenses of up to $15,000 or more to replace an HVAC system, placing a further burden on the American population, all in the name of climate change.

Given that a significant portion of the globe continues to utilize the more cost-effective and efficient Freon 22, delaying the transition to stricter alternatives is prudent until global standardization is achieved.

Other factors necessitate further consideration.

Due to its propane component, the new coolant is classified as flammable.

It is important to note that coolant leaks constitute a primary cause of HVAC unit failure. These units are typically located in attics in Texas and presumably elsewhere in the nation.

Many homes use natural gas to heat their homes. That part of the system is also located in the attic. Open flames are part of the process.

Consequently, when their current system requires maintenance and the necessary coolant becomes unavailable due to legislation—likely influenced by the chemical industry promoting higher-priced coolants—they will be compelled to replace not only their air conditioner but also their heater.

Absent evidence of climate impact until global participation by major emitters, the imposition of these changes on Americans to serve corporate interests is questionable.

Since the new coolant is flammable and one of the largest reasons for HVAC failure is leakage of coolant, does it really make sense to gamble with the lives of Americans for the profits of those companies and, of course, the donations they made to politicians to get them to go along with such foolishness?

Assume that corporations will produce devices incorporating many sensors, which will activate an alarm and dispatch emergency services upon leak detection, subject to the homeowner’s authorization; can the grid handle the abnormal heightened usage when heating a home?

Will such safety devices be part of the new system?

Newly installed gas furnaces must meet a minimum legal AFUE rating of 80% for home heating. Consequently, the gas heating system demonstrates an efficiency rating of no less than 80%.

In contrast to gas heating systems, the performance ratings of heat pumps fluctuate with ambient temperatures. The operational costs associated with the resistive heating elements are substantial. In Texas, my residence’s new cooling system consumes 2 kW per hour of operation. My home heating system consumes 20 kilowatts per hour, a process that is notably slower than the instantaneous heat delivery of a gas-fired furnace.

One other consideration of safety is this. Assuming that there are sensors for leak detection, the coolant they are proposing we use is heavier than air. That means, ladies and gentlemen, that a coolant leak in the attic could seep into the structure, down walls, through tiny cracks in the ceiling or air vents, and gather until it finds a source of ignition.

I am almost sure that if houses were to explode and people were to die, the facts of the investigation would be buried in typical government fashion until the evidence was too big to rig. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see this is a bad idea.

Suggestions:

Implementation of the AIM act of 2020 should be postponed until other nations demonstrate comparable commitment. At this juncture, a comprehensive evaluation of the viability of propane-based coolant, weighing its potential climate benefits against inherent risks, is warranted.

Another less volatile solution, using nonflammable gas, should be used, such as 410A.

If and when such a solution is viable, a tax credit to those who willingly adopt a more climate-friendly approach should be the solution, not some government mandate. You work for us people…

Legislators who voted for this measure and persist in subjecting Americans to potentially hazardous solutions to benefit companies should be challenged in the upcoming primary elections.

Americans’ First!

Media Control and Public Opinion: Fairness Doctrine and Its Impact

Media Control and Public Opinion: Fairness Doctrine and Its Impact

Is the News Fake?

Be sure to read the late-breaking news at the end of this column.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”

I quote George Santayana as history is rife with people attempting to assert the power of the pen and how it shapes a culture.

The quote emphasizes the importance of learning from history to avoid repeating mistakes.

Stalin knew this.

Joseph Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1953, recognized the power of the pen as a tool for propaganda and control. He used the written word to shape public opinion, promote his political agenda, and suppress dissenting voices. Stalin widely disseminated his speeches, articles, and books, playing a significant role in shaping the political and cultural landscape of the Soviet Union.

Stalin often focused his writings on promoting the ideals of communism and the Soviet Union’s role in the global struggle against capitalism and imperialism. He used the pen to justify his policies, such as the forced collectivization of agriculture and the rapid industrialization of the Soviet economy. Stalin’s writings also significantly promoted the cult of personality that surrounded him, with his image and words being ubiquitous in Soviet media and propaganda.

Besides promoting his agenda, Stalin also used the pen to suppress dissenting voices and opposition to his rule. He established a vast network of secret police and censorship agencies that monitored and controlled the flow of information within the Soviet Union. Widespread censorship marked Stalin’s regime, with writers and journalists being arrested, imprisoned, or executed for expressing views that were deemed critical of the government or the Communist Party.

Stalin’s recognition of the power of the pen was also evident in his efforts to control the education system and advocate for a specific version of history that highlighted the role of the Communist Party and its leaders in forming the Soviet Union. He established a system of political education that instilled loyalty to the Communist Party and its ideals in the minds of young people.

There have been many historical figures who controlled the public through propaganda. Some of these figures include:

  1. Julius Caesar: Caesar used propaganda to maintain power and control over the Roman Empire. He wrote extensively about his military campaigns and presented himself as a heroic figure essential for Rome’s stability and prosperity.
  2. Genghis Khan: Khan used propaganda to create a sense of loyalty and obedience among his followers. He presented himself as a divine figure who was chosen by the gods to lead his people to greatness.
  3. Napoleon Bonaparte: Bonaparte used propaganda to promote his image as a heroic figure who was essential for the stability and prosperity of France. He presented himself as a military genius who would conquer Europe and spread the ideals of the French Revolution.
  4. Adolf Hitler: Hitler used propaganda extensively to promote his vision of a pure Aryan race and to justify his aggressive foreign policy. He presented himself as a charismatic leader who was destined to lead Germany to greatness and to restore its place as a dominant power in Europe.
  5. Joseph Goebbels: Goebbels was the head of propaganda for the Nazi party and played a key role in promoting Hitler’s image and policies. He used propaganda to create a sense of fear and paranoia among the German people and to justify the persecution of Jews and other minorities.
  6. Mao Zedong: Mao utilized propaganda to promote his vision of a communist society and to justify his brutal policies. He presented himself as a heroic figure who was essential for the stability and prosperity of China.

The Sheepdogs

A few major corporations control the bulk of the media worldwide. Some of the largest media conglomerates include:

  1. Comcast: Comcast is a global telecommunications conglomerate that owns NBCUniversal, Sky, and Xfinity. It is the largest cable TV and home internet service provider in the United States and Europe.
  2. The Walt Disney Company: Disney is a multinational entertainment and media conglomerate that owns several film studios, including Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm. It also owns several cable networks, including ESPN and Disney Channel.
  3. National Amusements: National Amusements is a privately held American entertainment company that owns ViacomCBS, Paramount Pictures, and Simon & Schuster.
  4. AT&T: AT&T is a multinational telecommunications conglomerate that owns WarnerMedia, which includes HBO, CNN, and Warner Bros.
  5. Sony: Sony is a Japanese multinational conglomerate that owns several film and music studios, including Columbia Pictures and Sony Music Entertainment.
  6. Bertelsmann: Bertelsmann is a German multinational conglomerate that owns several publishing houses, including Penguin Random House, and several radio and television stations.
  7. News Corp: News Corp is an American multinational mass media company that owns several newspapers, including The Wall Street Journal and The New York Post, as well as several cable networks, including Fox News.
  8. Time Warner: Time Warner is an American multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate that owns several film and television studios, including Warner Bros. and HBO.
  9. ViacomCBS: ViacomCBS is an American multinational mass media conglomerate that owns several cable networks, including MTV, Nickelodeon, and Comedy Central.
  10. Tencent: Tencent is a Chinese multinational conglomerate that owns several social media and gaming platforms, including WeChat and Tencent Games.

How do they control our minds?

Public opinion is shaped by the media through a variety of mechanisms, including agenda-setting, framing, priming, and gatekeeping. These mechanisms work together to influence how people think about political issues, leaders, and events.

  1. Agenda-setting: The media plays a central role in determining which issues and events are considered important and newsworthy. By choosing which stories to cover and how much attention to give them, the media can shape the public’s perception of what is happening in the world. This is known as agenda-setting, and it can have a significant impact on public opinion.
  2. Framing: The media also shapes public opinion by framing issues and events in a particular way. Framing refers to the way in which the media presents information, and it can have a powerful influence on how people think about an issue. For example, the media can frame an issue as a matter of national security or as a social justice issue, which can influence how people view the issue and what actions they are willing to take.
  3. The media has the power to shape public opinion by highlighting specific matters or events, priming them in people’s minds. Through priming, the media effectively prompts individuals to focus on particular issues, ultimately molding their thoughts and impacting their actions.
  4. Gatekeeping: The media’s responsibility in selecting which stories to prioritize and which to disregard is referred to as gatekeeping. The media’s influence on public perception is evident through their decisions on which stories to prioritize and which ones to omit.

Besides these mechanisms, the media can also shape public opinion through the use of propaganda, which is the deliberate use of false or misleading information to influence public opinion. Propaganda can promote a particular political agenda or to discredit opposing viewpoints.

Another more powerful way the media mis represents the facts is through Yellow Journalism.

Yellow journalism is a form of media that uses sensationalism, exaggeration, and misrepresentation to attract readers or viewers. The use of dramatic headlines, colorful illustrations, and emotional appeals to appeal to the public’s emotions and fears characterizes it.

While yellow journalism was most prevalent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it continues to be used in various forms of media today.

One example of yellow journalism in modern media is the use of clickbait headlines. These headlines are designed to be attention-grabbing and often misrepresent the content of the article they are promoting. Another example is the use of sensationalized news stories that play on the public’s fears and anxieties. These stories are often presented as objective truth, but in reality, they may be based on unverified or incomplete information.

In addition to traditional media outlets, yellow journalism can also be found on social media platforms. These platforms allow for the rapid dissemination of sensationalized news stories and misinformation, which can be amplified by users who share and promote these stories.

All of these form the public opinion that sway voters. Those who pay little attention to what is going on and only watch anchors that are paid millions to spew half-truths or downright lies through NLP or other emotional triggers shape the world.

If the government were truly working for us, they would put a stop to it.

The true peril lies in the limited ownership of media by influential individuals who undoubtedly hold a specific agenda.

Therefore, The Fairness Doctrine was concocted in 1949.

Originally devised by Democrats, it aimed to suppress the emergence of right-wing radio stations that dared to discuss or report on falsehoods.

The Fairness Doctrine

The Fairness Doctrine, a policy that required broadcasters to present opposing viewpoints on issues of public importance, was in effect from 1949 to 1987. The policy aimed to ensure that the public could access diverse perspectives and accurate information, enabling them to make informed decisions in a democratic society.

The Origins and Rationale of the Fairness Doctrine

The Fairness Doctrine stemmed from the recognition that radio and later television stations were granted licenses to use public airwaves. As a result, these broadcasters were seen as trustees, responsible for informing and educating the public. The policy was rooted in the belief that the free flow of information is vital for a functioning democracy, and that broadcasters should not abuse their power by promoting one-sided viewpoints.

The Fairness Doctrine required broadcasters to present diverse viewpoints on issues of public importance, and it held them accountable for airing misleading information. This accountability extended to providing equal opportunities for opposing viewpoints to respond to attacks or misrepresentations, as well as airing opposing viewpoints on political candidates during election seasons.

The Benefits of the Fairness Doctrine

  1. Promoting Informational Democracy

The Fairness Doctrine helped to create a more informed citizenry by exposing listeners and viewers to a variety of perspectives on important issues. This exposure is crucial for fostering informed decision-making and promoting a more engaged and active citizenry. In a democratic society, it is vital for citizens to have access to accurate, diverse, and balanced information in order to participate effectively in public discourse.

  1. Encouraging Responsible Broadcasting

By holding broadcasters accountable for the content they aired, the Fairness Doctrine encouraged responsible broadcasting. This responsibility included not only presenting various viewpoints but also ensuring that the information presented was accurate and not misleading. This accountability helped to prevent broadcasters from becoming echo chambers for certain ideas or political viewpoints, promoting a more balanced and diverse media landscape.

  1. Providing a Check on Corporate Influence

The Fairness Doctrine served as a check on the influence of corporations and powerful interests in the media. By mandating that broadcasters present diverse viewpoints, the policy helped to prevent the consolidation of media power and the domination of the airwaves by a small number of influential voices. This, in turn, helped to ensure that citizens had access to a wider range of information and perspectives, free from the undue influence of powerful interests.

It seemed like a good idea, why was it repealed?

Some of the opponents of the Fairness Doctrine included President Ronald Reagan, who was a strong advocate for free market principles and limited government intervention. Reagan’s FCC panel voted to repeal the Fairness Doctrine in 1987, with a 4-0 vote.

Members of Congress who said the FCC had tried to “flout the will of Congress” opposed the decision and the decision was “wrongheaded, misguided and illogical.”

In addition to Reagan, other opponents of the Fairness Doctrine included conservative media outlets such as Fox News, which argued that the policy stifled free speech and limited the diversity of viewpoints on the airwaves. Critics of the policy also argued that it was used by both the Kennedy and Nixon Administrations to limit political opposition.

Overall, the Fairness Doctrine was controversial and was opposed by many journalists, politicians, and media outlets who argued that it violated the First Amendment rights of free speech and press. The policy was ultimately repealed in 1987, and its legacy continues to be debated to this day.

The doctrine was created as a political cudgel against conservative media. Some politicians who were in favor of the Fairness Doctrine include Bill Ruder, Assistant Secretary of Commerce during the Kennedy administration, and Martin Firestone, who presented political strategies to combat small, rural radio stations unfriendly to Democrat politicians. Other politicians who supported the doctrine include those who sought to use it to challenge and harass right-wing broadcasters and hoped that the legal challenges would be so costly to them they would be inhibited and decide it was too expensive to continue.

Once more, the history of media manipulation reveals the use of the judicial system to suppress opposing viewpoints.

Since the fairness doctrine was repealed, how should you react to contentious news stories?

  1. Diversify your news sources: Use a variety of news sources to get a well-rounded view of the news. This will help you to avoid being exposed to only one perspective or bias.
  2. Check the credibility of the news source: Look for news sources that have a reputation for accuracy and impartiality. You can use media bias charts, such as the All Sides Media Bias Chart or the Ad Fontes Media Bias Chart, to help you determine the credibility of a news source.
  3. Look for evidence: When reading a news story, look for evidence that supports the claims being made. If the story is based on opinion or speculation, be skeptical of its accuracy.
  4. Consider the source: Be aware of the political affiliations or biases of the news source. This will help you to understand how the news source may be influencing the coverage of a particular story.
  5. Check multiple sources: If a story is particularly important or contentious, check multiple sources to see if they are reporting the same facts. This will help you to identify any inconsistencies or biases in the coverage.
  6. Be aware of your own biases: Everyone has biases, and it is important to be aware of them when reading the news. This will help you to avoid being influenced by your own biases when evaluating the accuracy of a news story.
  7. Use fact-checking websites: There are many fact-checking websites, such as Snopes or FactCheck.org, that can help you to verify the accuracy of a news story.

But what if the ‘multiple sources’ are all owned by a few people with an agenda?

There are several fact-checking organizations that strive to be non-biased and impartial. Be wary of them and triple check what they report as we see today that we are not to believe our lying eyes regarding the economy, the state of the world or overwhelming preponderance of evidence that the swamp in DC is alive and well. Some of these organizations you can evaluate include:

  1. FactCheck.org: This is a non-partisan, nonprofit website that describes itself as a “‘consumer advocate’ for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics.” It is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania.
  2. PolitiFact: This fact-checking website rates the accuracy of claims by elected officials and others who speak up in American politics. It is a project of the Tampa Bay Times and its fact-checking partners.
  3. Snopes: This fact-checking website debunks urban legends, hoaxes, and other viral misinformation. It is a privately held company owned by liberal folks who often get it wrong. Typically, they will attempt to debunk something they don’t like by saying it is partially false. That is an easy claim to make.
  4. Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC): This independent online media outlet is dedicated to educating the public on media bias and deceptive news practices. It is a project of Dave Van Zandt.
  5. OpenSecrets.org: This is the Center for Responsive Politics’ nonpartisan guide to money’s influence on U.S. elections and public policy. It is a nonprofit organization.
  6. Logically: This fact-checking website uses artificial intelligence to analyze and debunk fake news. It is a privately held company.
  7. Check Your Fact: This is a fact-checking website that is a subsidiary of the Daily Caller. It is a privately held company.
  8. The Reporters’ Lab at Duke University: This is a fact-checking project of the DeWitt Wallace Center for Media & Democracy that maintains a database of fact-checking organizations worldwide.
  9. International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN): This is a non-partisan organization that sets a code of ethics for fact-checking organizations. It is a project of the Poynter Institute.
  10. Dubawa: This is a West African independent verification and fact-checking project. It is a project of the Premium Times Center for Investigative Journalism.
  11. Facebook’s fact checking is questionable at best, often leaning towards subjective opinions, according to a group I’ve dubbed the “man bun mafia.”The man bun mafia form a collective of individuals who struggle to secure employment with their liberal arts degree from an educational institution that prioritizes indoctrination over historical accuracy and the teaching of how to implement critical thinking abilities. Conservative media dubbed them useful idiots.

Like guns for hire, many useful idiots can be easily manipulated and used for someone else’s agenda. No matter the cause, they will promote the flag of the highest bidder, without hesitation.

Although no fact-checking organization can be entirely impartial, it’s important to acknowledge inherent biases. When fact-checking information, it is crucial to consult multiple sources, as this helps ensure accuracy and minimize the chance of bias.

While Jack Nicholson might have a point in the movie A Few Good Men, perhaps we are not ready for the truth. However, I would rather confront it than be fed biased information by wealthy news anchors or scripted talking heads.

We need some Walter Cronkite’s and not the liberal sycophants and obvious racists on MSNBC.

Can video games alter the way people think?

While conventional media parrots talking points of the elite, I often wondered if they are also using video games to target audiences that are rife for mind control. The answer is yes, video games can sway people’s political opinions in various ways. Here are some examples:

  1. Storyline and characters: The storyline and characters in a game can influence people’s political opinions. For example, a game that portrays a particular political party or leader in a positive light may sway players to adopt a more favorable opinion of that party or leader. Conversely, a game that portrays a particular political party or leader in a negative light may sway players to adopt a more unfavorable opinion of that party or leader.
  2. Game mechanics: The game mechanics, such as the controls, user interface, and gameplay mechanics, can also influence people’s political opinions. For example, a game that requires players to make decisions that align with a particular political ideology may sway players to adopt that ideology. Conversely, a game that requires players to make decisions that align with an opposing political ideology may sway players to adopt that ideology.
  3. Social influence: People may adopt the political opinions of others who play the same game or share similar interests. This can happen through online gaming communities, forums, or social media groups where players discuss their experiences and opinions about the game.
  4. Personal experiences: People’s political opinions can be influenced by their personal experiences with the game. For example, if a player finds the game’s storyline or characters engaging and relatable, they may develop a positive opinion about the game’s political message. Conversely, if a player finds the game’s storyline or characters uninteresting or unlikable, they may develop a negative opinion about the game’s political message.
  5. Media coverage: Media coverage of video games can also influence people’s political opinions. If a game receives positive reviews and coverage in the media, people may develop a positive opinion about the game’s political message. Conversely, if a game receives negative reviews and coverage in the media, people may develop a negative opinion about the game’s political message.

Video games are being used as propaganda. Governments and political organizations have recognized the potential of video games as a tool for propaganda and have used them to spread their beliefs and promote their ideologies.

For example, Iran has produced propaganda games that promote its political agenda, while North Korea has released a game that portrays the United States as an aggressive and hostile power.

In addition to government-sponsored propaganda games, private organizations and individuals have also used video games to promote their beliefs. For example, the game “IS Defense” puts players in the role of defending Europe against waves of Islamic attackers, while the game “Quest for Bush” satirizes former President George W. Bush.

The use of video games as propaganda is not limited to political ideologies. The game “Spec Ops: The Line” uses the medium of video games to explore themes of war, morality, and the consequences of violence. The game’s creators have stated that they intended to use the game as a form of anti-war propaganda.

Other unsettling evidence of the Israel-Palestinian conflict can be seen in various ways.

There are several video games that explore the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from a Palestinian perspective. Some of these games include “Fursan Al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque,” “Under Siege,” “PeaceMaker,” and “Raid Gaza!”

These games allow players to take on the role of Palestinian fighters and engage in combat against Israeli soldiers.

Some of these games have faced criticism for promoting violence and terrorism, while others have garnered praise for offering a unique perspective on the conflict and increasing awareness about the plight of the Palestinian people. Notably, game creators may possess varying motivations and intentions, leaving it to individual players to judge the educational or offensive nature of these games.

Many of these players are deeply entangled in the political aspects of the game, making it difficult for them to objectively analyze the facts without being influenced by their emotions and preconceived notions.

There is zero rationale for cruel treatment of anyone. Laws exist to deal with the transgressions of individuals, and no one should ever tolerate the rape and murder of innocent people.

Society should remove any game that promotes this type of behavior. IMO…

While future stories might include more research on video games and the mental health of those who play them, the scope of this paper on Fake News is to find out how people digest the news of the day and process it. Are we being brainwashed by the media?

It’s difficult to determine the exact amount of media people can handle before tuning out, as it differs from person to person based on their preferences and tolerance levels.

However, studies have shown that people tend to consume media for several hours a day, with some estimates suggesting that the average American spends around 8 hours a day on media consumption.

For example, a study by Nielsen found that adults in the United States spent an average of 11 hours and 27 minutes per day interacting with media in 2018. Another study by eMarketer estimated that U.S. adults spent an average of 4 hours and 43 minutes per day on digital media in 2020.

It is important to note that excessive media consumption can have negative effects on mental health and well-being, such as increased stress, anxiety, and depression. Therefore, it is recommended to limit media consumption and engage in other activities that promote mental health and well-being.

In conclusion, it is evident from this blog post that the media operates with a clear agenda. The media you consume is controlled by a select few, while deliberate detractors and bots on all platforms aim to divert you from the truth.

Neuro Linguistic Programming is frequently used to manipulate your emotions and convince you to adopt the desired narrative and take action.

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts entirely. From the days of the Mafia and Al Capone to those who walk the hallowed halls of congress, many are corrupt and need to be fired. Money and power loom as formidable adversaries for those who venture to DC to advocate for the people. It is evident that their sole focus is on their bank accounts, raising suspicions about their actions.

To address the issue, term limits should be implemented, and policies should be changed to prohibit former officials from becoming lobbyists.

In my opinion, the removal of the fairness doctrine was a deliberate move to grant politicians unrestricted control over the American people. The removal of it might also have been to stop the left from attempting to cancel opinions not favorable to the liberal agenda.

The media, once vigilant guardians, now appear muzzled or compromised by the powerful ruling class in Washington, DC and corporate giants.

Do you know what a journalist is or is supposed to be?

A journalist is a professional who gathers, writes, and reports news and information to the public through various media outlets, including newspapers, magazines, television, radio, and online platforms. Journalists inform the public about current events, issues, and developments, serving as watchdogs of government and institutions and facilitating democratic discourse.

  1. Truth and Accuracy: Journalists should strive for truth and accuracy in their reporting. They should verify information from multiple sources and correct any errors promptly and prominently.
  2. Fairness and Impartiality: Journalists should be fair and impartial in their reporting, presenting all sides of a story and avoiding bias. They should not distort or misrepresent facts to promote a particular viewpoint.
  3. Honesty and Transparency: Journalists should be honest and transparent in their reporting, disclosing any conflicts of interest or sources of funding that may influence their coverage.
  4. Respect for Privacy and Dignity: Journalists should respect the privacy and dignity of individuals, avoiding intrusive or sensationalized reporting that may cause harm or distress.
  5. Accountability and Responsibility: Journalists should be accountable and responsible for their reporting, responding to criticism and correcting any mistakes promptly and prominently.
  6. Public Interest and Service: Journalists should serve the public interest by providing accurate, relevant, and timely information that informs and educates citizens.
  7. Professional Conduct and Independence: Journalists should adhere to high standards of professional conduct and maintain their independence from political, economic, or other external influences.

See how many of the talking heads on TV, radio, and cable news that you can apply these standards to.

It is my belief that mental health is at a breaking point in this, and other countries. Stress, anxiety, fear, and the misery index caused by this administration and world tensions will lead to more atrocities before it gets better.

I have listed some ways that your opinion is formed, such as taking into account your personal biases and being open to examining them for a more informed perspective. Your mental health should always be your top concern.

There is far too much fake news, propaganda, and downright lies passed around for political purposes. Lawfare is a real problem, and we must stop it. Jan 6th was a red flag to the world and this administration, instead of lowering the fire under the pressure cooker, they have raised it.

You are not…

  1. Deplorables: This term was popularized by Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign when she referred to some of Trump’s supporters as a “basket of deplorables.” It is often used to describe those who hold conservative or right-wing views and are perceived as intolerant or bigoted.
  2. MAGAts: This term is derived from the acronym “MAGA,” which stands for “Make America Great Again,” a slogan used by Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign. It is often used to describe Trump supporters who are perceived as fanatical or blindly loyal to the former president.
  3. Trumpsters: This term is a play on the word “deadheads,” which refers to fans of the Grateful Dead rock band. It is often used to describe Trump supporters who are perceived as fanatical or blindly loyal to the former president.
  4. Trumpanzees: This term is a play on the word “chimpanzees” and is often used to describe Trump supporters who are perceived as unintelligent or irrational.
  5. Smelly Walmart Shoppers: The phrase “smelly Walmart shoppers” was coined by former FBI agent Peter Strzok in a text message to his girlfriend, FBI Attorney Lisa Page. In the text, Strzok wrote, “Just went to a southern Virginia Walmart. I could SMELL the Trump support.” The phrase gained attention during a congressional hearing in 2018, where Republican representatives questioned Strzok about his personal views on President Trump’s supporters.

You are Americans, no better or no worse, than those who think Biden is the next Messiah. You, like they are victims of a dishonest media bought and paid for by corporate giants, looking for more ways to take your money as taxes, fees, fines, and through inflation or even wars. They do this by buying politicians. Their path to victory began with secretive contributions, known as dark money, that helped fund their campaign.

Yes, wars are big business, and the profits outweigh the cost of human life as long as the humans lost are the peasants, and not a part of the ruling class.

If the rulers of the opposing factions were forced into a death match, you would quickly see an end to the foolishness of war.

America is not a racist country.

There are the haves, and the have nots, and that is by design of the government to keep you as livestock on the government tax farm.

They do this by propaganda to dumb down society and use emotional triggers through NLP to have you aim your hostility towards your fellow American vs those who are pulling the strings.

Education or knowledge is power. The less you know, the better they like it. So, visit a library and educate yourself. Information on the internet is mailable and not to be trusted as the gospel.

  • That is why they hired the useful idiots to rip down statues and create absurd diversions and distractions.
  • This is why the democrats bailed out the useful idiots who burned down cities.
  • This is why swing states are implementing ways to cheat at the election by implementing drop boxes that are not secure and most certainly will allow dead folks to vote.
  • This is why they are giving illegal immigrants voter registration forms while fact checkers are assuring you it is illegal for them to vote, so nothing to see here. Really?

These are the folks who already thumbed their noses at us, Mexico’s laws, our laws and so forth and you expect us to believe that they will have a red line at voting for their savior? You really don’t have any respect for the working people of this country, do you?

You would have to be really stupid to believe that. The Dems are in panic mode and will do anything to stay in power. IMO the dems need to come up with another candidate, and Neusom is not it. He might have nice hair, but his state is a disaster, and it is his doing. If those celebrities and other elites were forced out of their gated communities, they would quickly become Trump voters.

Whether you are on the left or the right, you don’t want the current administration to stay in office, from the Senate to the House, and absolutely the White House. They all need to be fired.

So, how do you protect your mental health through this overload of propaganda?

There are several activities that can promote mental health and well-being. Some of these activities include:

  1. Exercise: Regular physical activity can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It can also improve mood, increase self-esteem.
  2. Mindfulness meditation: Mindfulness meditation involves focusing on the present moment and observing thoughts and feelings without judgment. This practice can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.
  3. Socializing: Spending time with friends and family can help reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation.
  4. Creative expression: Engaging in creative activities such as painting, writing, or playing music can help reduce stress and anxiety, and improve overall mental health.
  5. Volunteering: Helping others can provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
  6. Spending time in nature: Spending time in nature can help reduce stress and anxiety.
  7. Getting enough sleep: Adequate sleep is essential for good mental health. Getting enough sleep can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.
  8. Practicing gratitude: Practicing gratitude involves focusing on the positive aspects of life and expressing gratitude for them. This practice can help reduce stress and anxiety.
  9. Engaging in hobbies: Engaging in hobbies that you enjoy can help reduce stress and anxiety.
  10. Seeking professional help: If you are struggling with mental health issues, seeking professional help can be an important step in improving your mental health and well-being.

The portal to propaganda that lives in your back pocket is the first thing you should leave behind when you focus on your health. I believe the smartphone is arguably one of the largest viruses employed by the people of this planet today.

Although smartphones or tablets may appear harmless, they are far from it. The flashing lights and funny sounds of media can easily captivate a child’s reward center, leading to potential indoctrination and brainwashing from a very early age. We see it today in a restaurant, just about any public venue and of course, walking down the street. People addict themselves to the mindless content streamed from all over the world, including a reel of some woman using a bidet for the first time. “Really, is that the content you want floating around your head?”

It is my belief that the smartphone has made us more dependent on media, that is most probably being used to change the way we think, act and vote.

It is my prayer that I didn’t spend hours creating this blog post to have it ignored by you. Share it, repost it, and feel free to comment.

Are you as moral as you think you are?

Are you as moral as you think you are?

 

This test only has one question, but it’s a very important one.

By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.

The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision.

Only you will know the results, so remember that your answer needs to be honest.

 

 

 

THE SITUATION:

You are in Florida, Miami to be specific.

There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding.

This is a flood of biblical proportions.

You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you’re caught in the middle of this epic disaster.

The situation is nearly hopeless.

You’re trying to shoot career-making photos.

There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water.

.

THE TEST:

Suddenly you see a woman in the water.

She is fighting for her life, trying not to be taken down with the debris.

You move closer.

Somehow the woman looks familiar.

You suddenly realize who it is.

It’s Hillary Clinton!

At the same time, you notice that the raging waters are about to take her under forever.

 

YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS:

You can save the life of Hillary Clinton or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world’s most powerful Democrats hell bent on the destruction of America.

 

 

THE QUESTION:

Here’s the question, and please give an honest answer.

“Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?”

Political discourse in this country, as I suspect in many others, is rife with opinions, hate, and discontent.  Some with a passing understanding of the facts speak out as those who are heavily vested in the process.  Many, like Armchair quarterbacks in our lazy boys we scream at the TV or our friends on social media.

56818465

The disconnect is that depending on what part of the country you are in influences your opinions.

East and west coast alike are more liberal and have a definite liberal bias in the news, radio programs, and newspapers and of course the mega elite who live in the Ivory towers of Hollywood. We hold them up there; they are Gods don’t you know?  Because they are either genetically gifted with looks, or symmetry and have learned to emote when they talk, we believe them to be as their characters on our favorite movie or TV show.  They are so wise in that they must certainly know of what they speak!

I am certain that she knows about all the issues… not!

 

 

Politicians wise to the ways of the world, hob knob with these Gods as they want to be accepted, so they will talk nicely about them.  Comedians also take on the liberal biased as they too are influenced by some politicians who wield power and might; with their pen and phone.

Politicians will spend vast fortunes of their own money to get the vote of the people as once there; it can be a lifetime job where suddenly the rules and laws that the little people must deal with, do not apply to them.

Evangelicals are looking for Jesus to run for office.  They might dispute that, but they are.  The problem is, even if Jesus came back and ran, I doubt few would actually vote for him because he was the son of a Carpenter, and his mother became pregnant before she was legally married.

Twenty-Six Million evangelicals stayed home in 2012 because the idea of a Mormon in the White House was unfathomable.  How did that work out for you?

Today we have “conservatives talk show host.” bashing Trump because of things that he did as a businessman.  Some of their allegations are true, most are out of context or flat out falsehoods concocted by those that study and practice political science and social engineering.

A perfect example of that was the nude photo of Trump’s wife on the cover GQ magazine sent to all of the voters in Utah, telling them that this was their “first lady.”  “Smarmy attacks like this “not to pick on the Mormons, will work because they will vote their conscience.   They did, and the sycophantic lawyer won by a landslide! They were played like a Steinway!  In her defense, she was a model back then and a damned fine one!  She speaks five different languages and is a successful business person in her own right!

Next First Lady

Now we are being played.  We have Evangelical leaders listening to other leaders talking about things in Trump’s past that may or may not be true. They are telling their followers to vote their conscience after dissing Trump.

The last thing I read said that no matter who won, the world will still keep spinning, the country will still go on, not to worry, just vote for someone you will not feel badly about casting your vote for.

If I ever doubted that the devil was real, this is where I would have clear evidence that he is real and active.

If you vote for anyone other than Trump, you are voting for Hillary.  Independents are there to funnel votes from Trump.  Hillary is such a corrupt, candidate that she has to pander to those who are only looking out for what is in it for them.  What is my vote worth to you?

pic_giant_080113_B

She has peaked out, so her strategy must be to take votes away from Trump, anyway that she can.

Do you really think this guy has a chance in hell? 

 

Established politicians know if Trump is elected that their gravy train of $600 hammers sold by their brother-in-laws is over.  They would rather support the devil for their fortunes on earth than do what is right for the country!

Many on the extreme right saw Cruz as the model of their idea of the perfect candidate.

tedcruz3_0

He said all the right things to woo the evangelicals and of course hid his dirty work under the covers so the “perfect” voters could feel good about casting their vote for a man that held their ideals and worshiped the same Jesus that they worship.

This person won Iowa by cheating and pulling Lawyer tricks.

ted-cruz-mailer2

This person took delegates that should have belonged to Trump again through Lawyer tricks, and when accosted by Trump his response was, “all is fair in love and politics” paraphrasing.

To garner his win in Utah “he” sent out a nude photo of Trump’s wife advertising to the UBER right wing Mormon class, that this was going to be their new first lady!

If I remember correctly Oreilly bought them!

 

I see many evangelical posts on social media saying that they cannot vote for Trump.  Alas, he is not perfect!

“No Christian should bow their knee to Trump; his past is questionable.”

Trump is not running for a theological leader of anyone.  Trump is running because he wants to give back to a country that has been good to him.

Self-funded the primary, handily beat 16 qualified candidates and now he has to survive $1.5 Billion dollars of negative ads, social engineering and right wing nut jobs who think that the next president should be Jesus himself!

Jesus is not going to run to save you from yourself!  He gave you a brain and reasoning skills and expects you to use them!

This next election is so important you have no idea.

The progressive agenda will utterly destroy what is left of this country after this last 8 years.

I am not an apologist for Trump.

I know who he is. He is not perfect  Folks, we could do one hell of a lot worse than him.  If you stay home, you are voting for Hillary.  If you are willingly voting for her, you need to stop drinking the kool-aid.

I have not read the “National Review’s” hit piece on Donald Trump.  I have known that Glenn Beck has been in the tank for years for Cruz, as are many conservative talk show host.

 

The media takes everything that any of the candidates utter and try to make it into headline news. Trumps latest comment about Megyn Kelly got me to thinking.  Did he say that as a side comment, or is he really concerned about it? My gut feeling is he is not worried about it.  He probably expressed an opinion, and the news is running with it like a front page story.

By now, I would think that Trump should be able to handle any reporter with ease. Much like other candidates who do not like the question asked, they simply pontificate on something else.

  • Trumps poll numbers are in large part a representation of the nerve that he has tapped into.
  • The JV team is out of control and this administration does little to stop them.
  • In fact, they are giving their leaders back to them, who we had.
  • Over 70% of Americans said no to Obamacare; He did it anyway.
  • The sales job to Americans was a bold face lie. You can’t keep your doctor.
  • American jobs are going overseas at an alarming rate.
  • Illegal immigration is out of control.
  • The vets are being treated horribly.
  • Fast and Furious was swept under the rug.
  • The Racial divide is pre-1960 levels of bigotry … In large part because of Obama.
  • Jobs handed to non-Americans through Visa’s are out of control.
  • Our military is being crippled by this administration … why?
  • Political Correctness is a subversive attack of our first amendment rights.
  • Our 2cnd amendment is under attack by the loons who have body guards … with guns.
  • This president could not work with the house and senate when he had a majority!
  • The DC good ole boy club needs to go and Americans are frustrated by this.
  • China is eating our lunch but American companies are handing it to them.
  • Politicians are beholding to someone … Trump is beholding to Trump.
  • The 1973 Gas Crisis was a lie, as is Global Warming; American’s know this.
  • The jobs numbers are phony, as most of those are part-time BS jobs that people have to have two of.

It is easy to see why other candidates attack Trump.  I would be interested to know why those that wrote their opinion against him in that publication.  Trump appeals to conservatives and Liberals; is that why?

Bernie Sanders is out of touch with reality but he is telling people what they want to hear, hence his pole numbers.  Is Trump in the same place on the GOP side?

  • Lastly … Why is Hillary Clinton not sitting behind bars?

Faraway places…

Faraway places…

Faraway places…

This time of year always seems to ground people…well me anyway.  We get so wrapped up in the “season” … that we forget what the season is about. As we make it through Thanksgiving, the rest of the turkey is either tossed or frozen along with the last bite of cranberry sauce; I cannot help but think of those less fortunate folks that would have non left to freeze or toss.

Troubles exists everywhere and you don’t have to look very far or hard to find them.  The bell ringers are out there in force and many; including myself have done a fair amount of shopping through Amazon or other such services.  Local retailers will certainly feel the sting of online purchases as we hear about an American Icon …Sears… that is headed for the scrapbook or dustbin of history.  Like so many shops before them; box stores and our shopping habits align the blocks and events of history in a sequence for them, “like dominoes in a row” to fall, or in this case fail.

The poor blame the rich, the government blames the rich, while taking their money for super packs and what have you, and the game goes on, not really identifying the problem.  Folks, government is the problem and cannot be the solution as it is currently flawed.  Those that make laws for themselves, which are different from the laws that you and I are saddled with, must be changed. There must be term limits for all of them…

I firmly believe that we only live so long, because the God in heaven that created us knew; that if we lasted too long, one person could gain so much wealth and power that they could literally create dynasties that would enslave an entire world forever.

Few understand micro economics, much less macro.  Some pay credit card bills, with other credit cards to get by, not even understanding the hole that they dig themselves into until it is far too late.  These credit card people make it easy to do with checks made for the express purpose of transferring money around.

Our leaders are doing the very same thing with their credit card, (the one that you pay) to the tune of $18.5 Trillion dollars and counting.  If leading by example is the plan, they are doing a bang up job!

Last week we had a full on assault on Christianity, which many consider the magnetic north of their moral compass.  It was no accident that this happened at a Christmas party, and yet the Washington Elites in their ivory towers, tried very hard to spin this as workplace violence, calling for more gun laws in a state that has some of the toughest gun laws around.  The Hollywood marionettes for the administration took to the tabloids, and airways to echo the administrations agenda which will only effect the law abiding among us.  They need to focus on mental health…

30 odd % of the folks would argue with this, as they are probably the few who cannot accept the truth, and only watch liberal media; which is the propaganda machine for DC.   Somehow they feel that Bernie Sanders is a viable candidate, which boggles my mind.  If however; it was a choice between Bernie and Hillary, I would pick Bernie; at least he is truthful certifiable but, truthful.

Those faraway places with strange sounding names, are calling me.

The places are not so much geographical places but, places in time… The country that I grew up in has been changed and I feel not for the better.  Special interests have taken control of our government and I firmly believe have transformed it into something that our kids will learn to hate.  Kids getting out of school today are not ready for the challenges that we were ready for.  While trades are necessary, we don’t even have those types of apprentice programs today.

Someone needs to get this country back to basics, before we really are making those small umbrellas for the Chinese to put into their drinks…

Those faraway places with strange sounding names might start with an A, and end with an A, as this place is … pretty strange…

Insight

Insight

 

There is a theme to my blog here, and it is simply that…insight or enlightenment…

I coined the phrase “mirror-time” In that one needs to know that person who looks back at them in the mirror.

Over the years I have given you clues like “know why you like, or don’t like something.”

I have asked you to examine why you did something a particular way.

Other things included looking for the truth outside of what you would like it to be, or your particular bias and once you find it, embrace it.  The truth truly will set you free….

The media in our country has divided this country driven by differing ideologies.  Social media is ablaze with ideas which are diametrically opposite of one another… We have devout socialist on one side and conservative capitalist on the other, and their opinions are driven by what the media and Hollywood are selling.

These folks who espouse that guns are evil, all have body guards with guns.  Folks who say that guns are a tool, turn a blind eye to the violence in this country.

Garbage in garbage out…

People who see the American way of life as “bad,” teach their children from a young age that dying while killing another people that they don’t like is glorious.  We have groups working with 3 year olds showing them how to kill someone, while extoling the virtues of it, while here we have people teaching their children to stifle their free speech; as to not offend anyone…

“There are none who are so blind, as those that will not see…”

Alcoholics refuse to believe that their drinking is a problem.

Drug addicts fail to see the connection between their use of drugs and a lifestyle that they have relegated themselves to while placing blame elsewhere.

Socialist, refuse to learn from history.  The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.

Some capitalist, don’t know when to stop.  How much money is enough?

Most politicians, lose their souls after they are elected, as power is such an aphrodisiac, that soon they rationalize that living in an ivory tower while looking down at the “little people” is there god given right.

(That is why we need term limits.)

When you start believing your own lies, or the lies of your peers…  You are lost.

The people, get it.  The people understand what the problems are, and that is why they have gravitated toward non-politicians.  Washington insiders are totally perplexed.  Like the men who flew the planes into the buildings on 911…  They truly believed what they’re doing was “right and good!” they were in fact delusional.  The man in the White House truly believes that what he is doing is “right and good.” Instead of looking in that mirror taking a selfie…  He should be looking in that mirror doing some soul searching…  He is lost.  His advisers who are all connected in some way to the liberal media, are also lost.  The voters have sent resounding messages to them and their response is to ignore those messages and find more voters in swing states who they can corrupt via scientifically targeted smear campaigns, to vote for them, or their kind.  Technology used in this way is in fact a cancer.  To corrupt the American way of life to fit an agenda that is anti-American, is by definition evil.

Once your mind is made up, you lose your objectivity…  You are of no value as a politician.  You are of no value as a voter.  As the matter of fact the opposite is true.  If you are unwilling to watch something else other than FOX or MSNBC, or CNN…  You actually harm the body that we know as the United States of America.

As the Brian Williams’s of the world are called out, you can at least know that somebody, somewhere, cares.  If groups have to make up the facts and otherwise lie to sell their agenda…  That should at least prompt you to dig into history.

We have lost our moral compass in this country, and somebody is trying to tell you what it is rather than what it should be.  In this case, history holds the key and you should look at it quickly before somebody rewrites it.  Talking with recent graduates from high school and college, one has to wonder if they have rewritten it, or simply stopped teaching it.

Back in the days of slavery it was illegal to educate them or teach them to read.  I would challenge the American people to look at their school systems today.  Is not teaching to the test, and ridiculous things like common core, not creating tomorrow’s  slaves?

A note about #Trump

A note about #Trump

A note about Trump

I find it fascinating that the liberal media does not understand why Trump is where he is in the polls.

They think it has something to do with “thinking people,” not liking politicians, but they are not really sure.  “He is Teflon.”  they say, “He defies the laws of political gravity!….”

Trump cannot be bought by special interests, and that is what is resonating along with his, “in your face to PC speak” which has crippled this country for far too long! 

Add to this a complicit media that only reports on that which bring ratings, and only then if it fits an agenda of whoever they are supporting.

I think Americans are tired of being lied to and Trump, Carson, and probably Fiorina are Washington outsiders, who have yet to sell their sole to the devil that is the Washington DC Good old boys, what can you do for me” crowd.

Trump is most likely the only candidate that cannot be purchased by this crowd, and that is why (Washington insiders) are talking trash about him and, why he resonates with people, even if he is not the perfectly scripted, speech written by committee based on polls of different demographics, type candidate.  I find his rambling, unscripted style of speech refreshing, and if he wants to bitch about China at each speech, so be it.  He is what he is, and for that I will stand up and say Hell Yes!

If he “Trump” gets elected, how long do you think it will take to get the Keystone Pipeline started?  Do you think we will be spending more millions studying the effects on migration patters of birds or fish that are in some small creek?  The stalling will be over!  The Age of Bullshit will be over, at least political backscratching bullshit that has paralyzed this country for the last 7 years!

Twenty thousand (20,000) attended today’s speech, (not simply thousands WFAA) in Dallas, and I have no idea how many more watched it on TV but, I suspect that Wednesday, CNN will enjoy a boost to its ratings as never before, and it will be because of Trump, not the others…. (Sorry Ben and Carly) Those that choose to attack Trump at the Debate should tread carefully, he brought you that audience. 

I think Trump is right about this phenomena, I think it is a movement! 

Personally, I do not want to see another Bush or Clinton in the White house. I think it is time for the “dynasties” and Washington Elites to be dethroned, as they have time after time convinced the masses that they think that they are kings and emperors and other types of royalty who are above the law, who simply tolerate the little people.  “let them eat cake…”  Hillary still thinks she is above the law and this whole e-mail thing and the Benghazi lies are simply a right wing conspiracy!  Keep trying to sell those lies, you still have a few hard core believers…  Chris Mathews still loves you.

It is time for term-limits and hopefully we can get that enacted by getting the right person in the white house.  Whether that be Trump, or Carson, or Carly, I think Washington outsiders are a good start.

“Of the people, by the people, for the People, should be our battle cry!”

Our Government is accountable to us the people, and when they forget that, you get what we have, lawlessness! 

We also have pens, and phones, and Social Media and … we vote!
