Media Guilty of De Facto Complicity In De Facto Obstruction of Justice

 There are several ways the matter can be phrased: normalizing Trump; giving far more airtime to Trump; avoiding criticism of Trump’s delaying tactics; treating his campaign as just a regular campaign. Who is Trump? He is the 34 times convicted felon, who has been running for president for nearly 2 solid years. 

Not only is what the media doing ridiculous, it is a threat to democracy. If they are guilty of any one of the above infractions, they can and should be held accountable. If it is time for new law, so be it. If that is not possible, we are going to have to consider turning to other tougher, yet still constitutional and legal, methods to deal with this would-be upender of democracy, and American traitor. 

Respected analyst speaks to the political turmoil of now

 Alan Lichtman is a respected political analyst with an excellent track record when it comes to predicting winners in presidential races in the US.  Although he has not yet issued his final prediction for 2024, he indicates that as of now Joseph Biden is ahead in most of the categories in his analysis.

At the same time, certain Democratic leaders are doing everything they can to undermine, and even drive from the race President Biden. Thus the Democrats would lose the advantage of incumbency among other pluses.

I have been flabbergasted at the foolishness of the history- ignorant politicians, who have panicked, essentially on the basis of one debate performance.  But Biden is back to himself now and has been for the last two or three weeks at least. The intelligent and self-confident will be glad to back Biden as the best, if not, the only obstacle to authoritarianism in the United States should Trump win.

Republican Party Is Dying, Says Former Cabinet Official

 How It Happened

Includes video link

Robert Reich, former head of the Department of Labor, says that the Republican Party is rapidly dying. According to Reich, the beginnings were in the Ford administration.

Actually, one can argue that the beginnings were long before. For instance, many of the tactics in use today by Republican politicians, were pioneered by Roy Cohn in the 1950s as part of the communist witchhunt.  People matter, and politics matters. For, one of Trump’s early teachers was one Roy Cohn.

“Republican Party is Dying”

The Pathology of the Mind

 A pathology is basically a disease. Although a general term it can contain numerous diseases under its umbrella. A new Internet show is delving into the mental health, if you will, of the two main presidential candidates.  The show is hosted by two psychologists, who between them have some seventy years of experience. It is a show I can recommend which contains interesting and often, useful, information. Well worth the time.  See link below.

Shrinking Trump

Attorney on Meidas Touch Network compares White House reporters to “hyenas.”

 At the link below, you can see numerous video clips of both Trump, and the press, in the White House briefing room. Host, Ben Meiselas, explains the behavior in this historic footage.

It is becoming clear to people that the press is not treating the presidential race in an even-handed way. I agree that the underlying motivation of the press, whether they know it or not, is to produce ratings for the media owners, which are now huge corporations, with a motive of their own – – something like avarice.

See for yourself here:

White House press corps acts like a bunch of “hyenas. “

The Worst Presidential Interviewer I Have Ever Seen!

 The Stephanopoulos interview – –

What can I say?  The hubris, the disregard, the superciliousness, the engagement in hearsay,  the lack of a scientific method of any kind — all of this was the Stephanopoulos approach. Not only is this the worst performance of Stephanopoulos’ I have ever seen, but the worst of any interviewer of an any president I have ever witnessed.

It is fine to ask tough questions. But to continue to repeat the same questions over and over with a willing and humble individual, is completely unnecessary, unkind, and full of ill will.  If Stephanopoulos did not mean this, he must say so right away. Otherwise, his reputation and that of the general press is in a ruined state.

Two days from now will be the anniversary of its adoption by representatives present and voting.  From this day on this great declaration of human rights has been the inspiration for oppressed people all over the world.  May it ever be so.
