No Wray!

Most of you have heard about the topic of weaponization of the FBI over the past couple of years. On July 12^th the Director of the FBI, Christopher Wray, appeared before a Congressional committee to answer questions about several focused topics which prove that the FBI targets conservatives, Catholics, parents and others. At one point Wray was asked if he is protecting the Biden family? Director Wray, in true WOKE evasive responses said “no”. On any of these critical topics his routine response was “that is under investigation” and therefore he can not discuss.

If you recall, it was Attorney General Merrick Garland who demanded that the FBI investigate parents attending school board meetings and he called them domestic terrorists. Director Wray continued to defend the 38,000+ employees of the FBI as good workers doing their job. However, that is not the focus of this investigation. The list of issues include Hunter Biden’s laptop, facts covering Joe Biden’s bribery tactics with the Ukraine prosecutor investigating Hunter, the double standard by the FBI on classified documents by Trump but not on Bien, etc. I wish this Congressional committee would give Wray a lie detector test as he would fail just like he has failed America! Time to impeach Director Wray! No Wray!

Choose mercy rather than tradition

     At this time between holidays I hope people will think about this – about "letting live" rather than killing when it comes to holiday food. We're free to choose mercy over tradition so we should think about it.

You should not publish Trumplican lies

I noticed that recently, several of the letters in local journals have concerned the same topic as this one. So my hope is that more and more similarly themed letters will be in newspapers and journals in the future. Not only are the things Trumpers post lie, they are lies believed by up to 60% of Republicans. So if those lies are published in thousands of newspapers across the country, after (not) checking them for facts and/or accuracy, our newspapers will not just be  giving their readers a chance to choose between the opinions published in Reader--they will really be giving their readers a chance to vote according to what they have falsely been led to believe,   

Recently we had a president who lied so often that fact checkers quit counting them, And our politics are being distorted with lies specifically designed to mislead. Trump has truly created a cult mentality used to keep Democrats from winning in 2024. So do you want your readers to be told that Democrats are bigots, nazis, baby killers, and God haters, or do you want them to believe in factual evidence and respect for the constitution, rather than deranged QAnon conspiracy theories that some newspapers publish as if they were uncontested facts. And most importantly, if the press decides that offensive letters written by angry and misled Trump supporters are OK to print, then they will likely mislead millions of voters in the next elections!  

If News outlets really checked letters from Trump supporters for civility and accuracy, they'd discover that picking out  lies and misinformation is not rocket science, especially when it comes to deciding whether Dems are truly Nazis, Baby killers, communists, God haters, radical left activists, people who do not follow the teachings of Jesus, people who mock the Constitution, or people who "confuse children with Gender Dysphoria," as well as, people who fail to defend free speech, freedom of religion, and/or the 2nd Amendment, and/or people who fail to keep an all-powerful and paternalistic government in check--(because Dems supposedly prefer "a heavy handed government, forcing all of us to accept evil and perversity)"--WOW! The sad fact is that when it publishes lies, the press gives a green light that condones (all) misinformation and lies. And just as global warming deniers used clever arguments to convince us that global warming is just a liberal plot, similarly, by ignoring lies, the press will also open doors that allow many powerful, yet unethical people, to supplant democracy in favor of an all powerful autocracy!  

Here's the truth--many Democrats are Christians who revere Jesus, and none of us are (by definition), communists--nor are we people who love to kill babies in the womb, And in fact, currently the Justice department is fighting in order to protect our Government from those who truly threaten us with violence and anarchy (all for the  of number 45). Such table-turning tactics are for Children, not for those who are really interested in knowing the truth!   Here is an example of how Trump first says one thing and then the other, in order to benefit himself politically:  youtube.com/watch?v=vkV9dXF3VR0   Peter W.
