Conservatives

One conservative I trust is David Brooks. In a conversation with his liberal friend he stated meaningful conservative dialogue is in the minority in most media he frequents. That may be the case, but, how about addressing those folks caught up impoverished without an interest in reading or somewhat sophisticated conversation? They have their attention captured by tabloids and the WWF. There is that culture that thrives among the impoverished in this country. I don’t mean that as an indictment so much as a frustration.

Uniting the country again under the same reality will require some heavy lifting to bring right wing dialogue, no matter the form, to appreciate the truth without myth or distortion. What I find appalling about the dual truths that exist is that the lies were easily nurtured by the man who was president and is again. This time more toxic than the bleach he queried to its benefits. That is simply not healthy and Americans died within that paradigm because they believed the lies were the truth.

We are still there. Not Covid in its virility as before, but, the lies are still propagated as the truth and the pain instilled by those lies is boiling over. 

In Southport, North Carolina a man in his boat approached people enjoying the shore and fired. That is simply heinous. My thoughts go to those suffering, but, also to my own family who have been married in the public park that is by the waterway. The ceremony had a beautiful day and was completely lovely. What are they thinking and feeling with blood splashing on the shoreline where they once celebrated?

The level of contemptible violence is taking an uptick since summer is turning into autumn. What, if anything, is being done to end the hatred and reward the truth with an embrace by those estranged from it? Nothing? We are left to wallow in misery forever?

People of different belief and persuasions need to get along otherwise the powers that be will see us at each other’s throats. This time though. It won’t be a fight over the economics of slavery. It will be about who lives the truth and who is its enemy.

The man that attacked the Mormons…

…inside their own religious sanctuary is waging a war. There is a lot wrong with that attack, but, he wasn’t crazy; he was however crazed.

Where did he even get the explosives to create IEDs? Granted the crazed people that kill Americans find a way to build bombs no different than the Boston bombers. But, the ingredients to most IEDs should be out of reach both in the substances available and the amounts allowed to be purchased by a given person. 

That sanctuary went up in flames in minutes. 

The murderer had to have surveyed the grounds and sanctuary in order to kill and destroy the way he did. Suspicious people need to be noted, photographed, and reported to authorities without second guessing that decision. The police rather know what is transpiring to look into elements of fear than to pick up the pieces afterwards.

“See something, say something.”

Fear is not a good commodity in any community. Police do care. That’s their job.

“Is not consistent with our community’s value.”

Brendan Carr is directly responsible for the dual reality in media broadcasts in this country.

He needs to be replaced. He wrote a chapter on the FCC in Project 2025. He is placing every American’s life in danger for even allowing the hate speech coming from the Oval Office demonizing those that find Trump inconsistent with our country’s values. 

This might come as a surprise but Trump is not allowed to use the presidency to foment hate causing disruption of domestic peace. It is in his oath of office. Brendan Carr is in violation of his oath of office in (1) looking the other way, (2) providing a hate filled platform to inspire violence not just by Trump but also by right wing media.

Improvised explosive devices?

ATF established the evidence of IEDs at the mass murder at Grand Blanc, Michigan. How did that man know how to make IEDs? Did he create those bombs? 

This is not us. This level of violence is not the USA.

There is a huge issue here. Governor Whitmer  touched on it. The people qualified to investigate the tragedy has to compose the facts in reports and the public has to accept that without septics and inflammatory stories. 

It occurred to me there is a huge alternate reality in the USA. It has been created for political purposes to CONTROL the hearts and minds of people. That alternate reality must stop. It is creating huge problems that are out of control. The people wielding this violence believe in their missions and it is all based on a lie.

How are those of us that live with the truth and in the world of reality supposed to defend from an alternate reality? It isn’t possible. 

Burnt to the ground, 4 dead, 8 wounded.

Sunday morning 

The fifth death was the gunman. The first responders are as good as it comes. They were on the scene within 30 seconds of the 9-11 call. 

This is America now. The hate has been turned loose, by design of President Donald John Trump. Anyone keeping track of the domestic deaths under his watch? There are 11 human beings missing from the Florida detention camp and even in the face of that reality appellate courts are passing the plans through to reopen hell. It is human rights abuses.
