Our American sensibilities are assaulted on a daily basis with claims that are widely accepted to be true and righteous even though they’re demonstrably false and malign. The falsehoods, exaggerations, and prevarications by omission are tearing at the fabric of the great American experiment in liberty. Which is exactly what they are designed to do.

Consider the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, acquitted (justly) last week of the homicide and reckless endangerment charges that should have never been brought against him. Not only was the prosecution malicious (for which the prosecutors should be sued), the web of lies that corrupted the entire case were in service of a nefarious political agenda.

Rittenhouse did not kill two black men and wound another, as some media outlets claimed. The men he shot in self-defense were white. Nor could it be said the men were mere protesters, as so many asserted.

Rittenhouse was also called a white supremacist, even by I’ll-bring-the-country-together candidate Joe Biden, though there’s no evidence that he is. It simply fit the narrative and that was good enough.

These examples are but surface coverage of the untruths politicians, the media and half-wit celebrities spread about Rittenhouse, because they saw the episode, from the self-defense shootings to the trial, as an opportunity to further demonize firearms and to make the streets safe for the “right” kind of protesting, which to the sane and decent among us is known as rioting by the left.

Meanwhile, the global warming lunacy continues to run free. No longer are the green shirts satisfied with replacing gasoline and diesel automobiles with electric cars, they want to get rid of cars altogether.

It might be an easy task, given that Democrats, aided by the media, want to financially break as many Americans as possible by passing asinine legislation such as the Build Back Better bill. If we follow the hard left that is now the center of the Democratic Party, we’ll have no choice but to use public transportation, because we won’t be able to afford cars after the law, if passed, has wrecked the economy.

Or so the left hopes. Either that or the Democrats will push us into crowded buses and subways because they’ve pushed the price of oil to unaffordable heights for most Americans.

Two years of pandemic have contributed as well to the outbreak of madness. The unvaccinated, whether they have natural immunity from a coronavirus infection or have been medically advised to forgo the shot, are treated like modern lepers, as are mask opponents, by politicians, “journalists,” and celebrities – the troika of knavery again – who cannot discipline their urges to control others nor their neurotic need to feel superior. All are to comply with their demand, or else.

We’re just getting started. The country is plagued with unhealthy racial and gender fixations; daily attacks on free speech; crime sprees where prosecution and incarceration are considered lamentable anachronisms; a vicious cancel culture; demands to defund the police; continued attempts to keep the Russia, Russia, Russia lie alive; Soviet-style purges of opinions and information from those the left wants silenced; and riotous Antifa and Black Lives Matter thugs. Readers, please feel free to add whatever comes to mind, because our list is merely a starting point.

It could be that what we’re calling insanity is actually a campaign of ill intent. But a degree of derangement has to be present. Otherwise, the movement would have been overwhelmingly rejected rather than embraced by a large enough portion of the public to give it traction. Unless we reach peak insanity soon, and begin a return to normalcy, the future will be a far harder ride than the ugly moment we live in.

Would it be better if people were not categorised by their religion? The news always talks about the various religious communities in a country and their reaction to events. Sometimes violent protests are used if there is a difference between a countries laws and the beliefs of a group. In a democracy, laws are established by representatives of the people and must be obeyed, otherwise there are penalties. The fact that a particular religious group disagrees should not affect the application of the law. Sometimes police ( UK particularly ), are worried that they may offend a community and consequently appear reluctant to apply the law for fear of reprisals. Residents of a country should abide by the rules and regulations regardless of any conflict with their religious beliefs. Individuals who break the law may feel that they can hide behind an organisation who they feel will offer them protection and justification in the unlawful manner in which they protest. These situations exist also with, "Just stop oil" and "Climate change" protesters.
Society is at risk of a breakdown if there is failure to prosecute offenders.

Any sensible thoughts on the video below?



Many adults are confused but why make your toddlers confused too?

Hes not to leave the country
Hes not to speak about anything court related
Hes not to speak to anyone connected indrectly/directly to the case
Hes to not speak his mind on ANTHING at all
He is under house arrest for the next 3 months minimum
His most recent post shows hiim having a cigar walking back and forth like hes in a yard
There is no relief on that mans face at all just anguish
His first words were:"
When I was in jail I was doing push ups and reading the Quran. When I am at home I will do push ups and read the Quran"

100% hes being silenced

Does that sound like a man feeling free to you?

Is it possible distance relationships turn into real ?

When all seems too hard to bear, listen to this one time homeless man singing on the streets of Detroit.

One of Trump's campaign promises for the 2016 election included replacing Obamacare with something that was much better and cheaper. He also said he would build a wall between the United States and Mexico and have Mexico pay for it.
If you remember in many of his rallies they chanted 'Build the wall, Build the wall' Remember?

He had 4 years to do it and with a Republican backed congress and didn't.

So now, Joe Biden in his last year of the 2020 presidency is attempting to get a bi-partisan effort to approve funding to block illegal immigration across the US & Mexican border.

While this is happening, House Republicans vote to advance effort to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Secretary Mayorkas claiming that Mayorkas has committed high crimes and misdemeanors for his handling of the southern border.

Mayorkas stated that “the problems with our broken and outdated immigration system are not new” and called on Congress to help provide a legislative solution to the “historically divisive issue.” He praised the bipartisan group of senators he has worked with for its willingness to put their differences aside to try to find solutions at the border.

So while Biden himself has announced they are working on a plan, I'm seeing stories that congress is actually working against him. Why?
Because Trump told them to kill the deal.

Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson was asked if he spoke to Trump about it and he said no. (1:08 seconds into the video) then he stated he has talked to Trump (1:33 seconds into the video) and that's a direct contradiction. Some people would call him a liar.

What we see here is Trump manipulating Republican lawmakers not to approve a bi-partisan effort regarding securing the border.




Now, Trump is in the news as it appears to be, 'don't build the wall' as I need 'build the wall' as part of my 2024 campaign.

No, I didn't say that... but his actions did.

Former President Trump, the current GOP front-runner who has railed against the bipartisan border deal for weeks, denied the idea of trying to block President Biden, his likely rival in the 2024 election, from achieving a legislative win by passing the bill.

Another case of Links, kinks and political stinks...

Music ..

Not just medium to establish a person's hidden talent , or just to express someone's intimate emotions , or just to impress and impact a mass audience , or just to create entertainment for celebration of special moments , or just to find a way to earn for survival through performance ..

It's not just a piece of Art to realise and cherish ..

It's infact the lesson of life .. When it shows the direction to all the lost souls during world-wide blind-folded darkness ..

And the Legend , who made us realise all these deepest and eternal truth , was none other than the heavenly Nightingale , Sreemati Lata Mangeshkar ...
Who was not just a performer , not just an artist , but a devotee of Music ..

Today is that unfortunate but inevitable day , when we lost our Nightingale ..

But

We know for sure , the Voice of Nightingale will never been lost ..

A Heart Broken Tribute To Nightingale , Sreemati LATA MANGESHKAR ..
