Yellow journalism is the sensationalization of news solely to gain circulation. It refers to a period in time between 1895 and 1898 when two New York newspapers, Pulitzer’s New York World and Hearst’s New York Journal were in competition with each other. Both papers served the same city and both were the same price. Customers would look at both papers and buy the one with the headline that screamed at them or a picture that claimed their attention. Facts took a back seat to embellishment.

Skip ahead 60 years and you have a different look. Television news is cutting into the profits of the newspapers. Back then, there were only three channels from which to choose. To attract an audience, news stations adopted the policy, “If it bleeds, it leads”. That’s pretty much the same thing as yellow journalism. They show something gruesome to lock you into watching. Again, truth takes a backseat.

Today, the same struggle goes on. Print news, although there are still newspapers, most news has gone online. Television news has gone from three channels to a myriad of channels, many of them 24/7 news. There is a lot of competition for your attention. You can always get a news update. It’s simple. You can turn on the TV, the computer or check your phone. You’re connected. With so much information out there, it’s a shame so many are so ill-informed.

Much like the two newspapers in New York in 1895, which favored Democrats, so too do the vast majority of newspapers and probably 95% of news programming. The problem is, journalism has gone out the window. There’s little need for investigating if your information comes from the Democrat Party. Even writing news copy is almost a lost art. This is evidenced by the news, no matter your source, using the exact same adjectives for a subject of a story. Every story or program you look at uses the same words or phrases.. A noteworthy example is the use of insurrection for a protest. Or “a peaceful protest” when thugs (Democrats or Anarchists) are burning down a city. Next time you watch CNN or MSNBC or any of the others, check it out.

In times gone past, people used to go to college to take journalism classes. They used to teach you a story requires a who, what, when, where and why.. Experience tells you to check your sources. Being able to put a sentence together is helpful. That was then; this is now! I’m sure that very little journalism is taught in college classes now. It’s more indoctrination into Socialism. That’s what happens in college now, with very few exceptions.

I don’t read most newspapers. Maybe an occasional article. I don’t watch the Sewer Stream Media. It’s mostly garbage and agenda-driven. I have a couple of news channels I watch (Newsmax and OAN). There are several websites I check. If I am checking out a story to see if it’s real, I’m not going to use a leftist source. I don’t trust it! I’ve been watching the various releases from Twitter. I’ve seen the crushing of Conservative opinions by the media and Big Tech and Big Government. One thing I have learned is that WE are the new journalists.

Over the last week or so, Elon Musk has been releasing internal files and communications from Twitter employees and management centered on the Washington Post release of news of Hunter Biden’s laptop. Personally, I believe the release should have started with files before the onset of Covid. Much of the vehicles for censorship were well in use by that time. In an effort to restore free speech, we need to know how Twitter strayed, or was allowed to stray, so far from the goal of free speech.

Immediately after the drop started, the left lost their collective mind. There were denials, accusations of the spread of false information and Musk trying to destroy his new purchase. But, within two days, CBS reported on the existence of the laptop, about two years after the Washington Post broke the story. Of course, they still downplay it, saying it’s just the computer of a drug addicted son of the President. You know, it’s just porn. What it actually contains is evidence of foreign interventions and 10% for the Big Guy! Well, now the story is out and the rest of the Alphabet Media, aka Sewer Stream Media, will look like the fools we’ve been saying they are for years if they continued to ignore it!

So, after three drops of information, what have we learned? We found out that Jack Dorsey, former CEO of Twitter relied on his managers to run things. When the laptop story broke, it was primarily Vijaya Gadde, the former head of legal, policy and trust played the major role on clamping down on the story, along with several others. It was two to three days before Dorsey was made aware, according to the releases. We know that, before all of this began, there was a working relationship between management at Twitter and both the DNC ant the GOP. Anytime either of them had an issue with a post, they could go to Twitter and they could handle the issue. Gradually, bias caused the favoring of the DNC, eventually exclusively. By the way, Gadde was one of the first Musk fired when he took over!

There was coordination between Twitter, other members of Big Tech, and the DNC. They were able to amplify the DemSocialists posts, while throttling back or stifling opposing posts during the campaigns leading up to the 2020 election. They advocated for mail-in ballots. their viewpoint was they were safe and easy and they wouldn’t allow any other view. As early voting began and machines started having problems, any report of such would find the disclaimer that the use of the machines was safe. Everything was fine.

People who were watching the drops as they happened commented that this was evidence of voter interference. Even Elon Musk agreed. Of course, any mention of that back in 2020 would have gotten you in Twitmo. But now, Rep. Jim Jordan has expressed an interest in seeing the raw data. Good luck Jim!

Last night’s drop concerned the lead-up to January 6th. It showed a cooperation with the DHS, FBI and the Director of National Intelligence. This was blatantly the weaponization of the intelligence community. Twitter HQ was seeing the events in almost real time, right up until the murder of Ashli Babbett by a Capitol Police officer. They weren’t sure what to do with the pictures that were coming through. They were disappointed with Trump’s Tweet telling everyone to stay calm and go home. I wonder why this tweet didn’t get to the J6 hearings. I know why: it orchestrated. Just like a lot of the events that happened on the 6th of January!

There is supposed to be another drop this evening, but that hasn’t happened as yet. Tonight’s is supposed to cover J6. Tomorrow’s is supposed to cover January 6-8. There is much to see in the drops so far. I hope the next drops are as revealing. More over, I hope something comes from it. There were crimes committed!

During the last couple of months, social media is ablaze with talk of free speech. Ever since Elon Musk purchased Twitter, statements have exploded either in support of the freedom of speech or against . Basically, the issue boils down to everybody wants their voice heard, but not necessarily opposing views.In my opinion, if you support free speech, it applies to all speech. I may not like what you have to say. You may not like what I have to say. The First Amendment of the US Constitution guarantees both sides have an equal right to express their opinions.

The problem isn’t new by any means. Until recently, social media has had an issue with speech. Big Tech has the same issues with speech. They had a prevailing view that their beliefs are the true viewpoint and they enforced it by canceling out any opposing view. I’ve been in both Facebook Jail and Twitmo numerous times. Every time, I stood behind what I said. It was the truth; it just didn’t fit into the prevailing agenda. Over the last ten years, the differences were mainly between the Anarchists and DemSocialists against the Conservatives. With Covid, a whole new disagreement came into being.

From the viewpoint of a Constitutional Conservative, there were many times and different ways to stifle our voice. Search engines would show only results to a search that agreed with their beliefs. To get to an opposing result, you would have to scroll down several pages to get there. Social media would flag a Conservative post with disclaimers or flat out ban it. I don’t use those search engines any longer. I left Facebook and Twitter in January of 2021. There were other platforms to use. The problem with that is you end up “preaching to the choir”.

I returned to Twitter in April of this year, after Elon Musk bought it. I’ve seen a huge difference. Voices that were missing, are back. The DemSocialists are up in arms! Their viewpoints are no longer the only voices. That’s why they are crying. They’ve had an echo chamber for to long. Well, their opinions no longer go unchallenged. They don’t argue their point now, they resort to name-calling and gaslighting. Anyone who argues against them, suddenly becomes a racist or a Nazi or a White Supremist. They run to management to have them removed from the platform.

Benjamin Franklin said, “Without freedom of thought there can be no such thing as wisdom: and no such thing as public liberty, without freedom of speech”. We know that the DemSocialists aren’t great disseminators of wisdom. It isn’t wisdom they are sharing in our public schools; it’s the ideas laid out by Big Government and Big Tech. Anything violating that needs to be squashed. Knowledge can be a dangerous thing. I mean, why do you think the people protesting in Iran hasn’t been in the news? Or those protests in Brazil? Or the Netherlands?

When I was young and acting impetuously, my parents would scold me by saying, ” Use your common sense”. Back then, when something came up on the spur of the moment, there was maybe a 50%-50% chance of me actually stopping and thinking before I acted. By that, I mean that thinking kept me from getting into bad situations half of the time. I like to think that I’ve improved on that percentage as I got older, but, sometimes, it’s still a struggle.

Looking back, I’m pretty sure common sense was introduced to me by my parents. Mom was a stay at home mom, so, early in our formative years, she was usually fairly close and knew what I was doing. Another phrase I heard a lot was, “Think about what you’re doing”. The two phrases were fairly interchangeable. Ignoring those two phrases never really worked out for me.

Recently, I’ve been wondering where common sense has gone. Looking around, I can’t see it being employed very often. Then it occurred to me; who’s around our kids to introduce common sense? I grew up in the 50 and 60’s, with an economy in which you could live on one income. Things changed in the 70’s with the double-digit inflation that wreaked havoc on the economy. Both parents had to go to work to be able to live comfortable. The economy ebbs and flows. There are good times and bad times. The question remains; who teaches the kids to use common sense?

We send our children to schools for their education. We quickly (hopefully) discover that schools are more into indoctrination. We want our children to succeed. The schools are more into equity. Critical thought has given way to critical race theory. The pathway to excellence is effectively obstructed. They don’t want anyone to be successful, because they aren’t followers. They are trailblazers! Trailblazers cause problems in a Progressive (Socialist) environment.

Where does common sense come from? I believe it comes from the parents or other family members. Barring that, it comes from mentors. You won’t get it from government facilities, whether federal, state or local. However you get it, it’s necessary for survival. You need it to get ahead. The problem is, common sense isn’t all that common anymore.

Here we are. The 2022 Election was a week ago and the cycle is over. Well, it should be! The truth is, The US Senate is still up for grabs, and the House and at least one Governor. The Sewer Stream Media is complicit in calling races (again) way too soon. Everybody is expected to allow the media and the opposite party to tell them who won the election. Anything less is, or will be, called domestic terrorism.

There were problems with this election cycle from the beginning. Absentee ballots were being mailed out to people who never asked for them. In some places, more ballots were sent than are registered voters in the area. On election day, conservatives were turned away from their voting places due to malfunctioning machines. Elsewhere, people showed up to vote, only to find out a vote had already been registered in their name. There had been warnings of this, and the advice was to stay at the polling place, call the police and report an incident of identity theft. I’m unaware this ever happened, but it should have. A crime had definitely occurred!

I’ve seen videos of plenty of malfeasance, or criminal activity. Video out of Georgia showed a man doctoring ballots. Out of Arizona, video shows the current Secretary of State, who was running for higher office, in the ballot room. At that time, the Governor’s race which she was in was highly contested. This was a blatant conflict of interest! The corruption ran deep in this election. It ran deep in in the 2020 election! It was evident in the election of 2016!

Voter integrity and election security has been proven lacking. Things have to change! After 2020, the DemSocialists tried to take over the election system and hand it to the Federal Government. That would have been a huge mistake. The answer to any problem should never be “give it to the Feds”! They’ve already taken too much power from the States. Read the Tenth Amendment! The States actually need to take some of that power back! The States need to handle the credibility problem of the election system. Quickly!

When the state of Florida can count 22 million votes in one night and Arizona takes more that 7 days to count 7 million and Nevada the same amount of time to count 3 million, there’s a definite problem. I’ve said it before. The amount of time it takes to count the vote is in direct proportion to the amount of cheating necessary. Before the election of 2020. most states had there votes counted in one night. That needs to return! There were audits done in Fulton County, Georgia and a full forensic audit in Maricopa County in Arizona after the 2020 election and they found many problems. The DemSocialists denied the problems and too many of the Republican leadership let it go without doing anything!

My state of North Carolina needs to implement Voter ID. It’s already been ruled as constitutional by the US Supreme Court. It was passed as a NC Constitutional Amendment in 2016 and it’s past time to implement! The vote was counted this election cycle in one night. That should be the standard. Better security should be employed so that ballots aren’t suddenly “found” in the amount that propels a candidate, surprisingly always a DemSocialist, to victory, with a total passing the threshold for a mandatory recount! Our current Governor won two elections that way!

The States have a lot of improvement before integrity is worthy of our trust! The alternative is in full view. Just look to the protests in Brazil. You may need to do a search on a search engine other than Google to see it. But it’s there and it’s huge!

As of February of this year, the Department of Homeland inSecurity reported they had lost 20,000 children and their sponsors. They just don’t know where they are. Now, this would be horrible were we talking about illegals only. But, we’re talking about children. The DHS says they aren’t even sure of the names of the kids. They don’t really mention whether or not they know the true relationship of the “sponsors”!.

I’m sorry, but the first thing I think of with this involves child slavery and the sex trade. There are three options. Some of the “sponsors” are more than likely members of the cartels (unbeknownst to the DHS) and supply the children to the slavers. Another option is the DHS is facilitating the trade. Then, there’s the option where DHS may be more involved. I hate to consider this, but we all know how this Cabinet-level agency bends and/or disregards the law.

But one has to think, if the DHS were not involved in the effort, why are they not forthcoming with information that Oversight Committees of the Senate has asked of them regarding the lost children? What are the ages of the children? What’s being done to find the “lost”? Undoubtedly, benefits are going somewhere. I mean, when the DHS sends illegal aliens somewhere, they also send more benefits than American seniors get. Come on man, follow the money!

The fact that the DHS lost that many children is disturbing enough. Their dereliction should be illegal! How far up the ladder does this go? Is Secretary Mayorkas involved? How about AG Garland? Is there 10% for the Big Guy? The DHS is a rogue organization. They use the FBI as stormtroopers against parents who don’t want their children exposed to drag queens or mutilated by “medical facilities”. If a person is Pro-American, that means you could be a domestic terrorist.

There are plenty of actual criminals out there that could occupy the time of the DHS. Of course, they would probably not stay in jail long because some judge somewhere would let them go without bail. The only ones of interest to this DHS are the ones who disagree with their DemSocialist masters! The number of missing kids, like I said, was as of February this year. How many more have been “lost” in the subsequent eight months? No matter what: Remember The 20,000+! Evidently, the DHS wants us to forget them!

It’s less than two weeks until Election Day, 8 November, and already the shenanigans have begun. Pollsters are gathering last minute data in an effort to get the best results they can get. The goal here is to get as close to the election results, while still manipulating results in favor of their candidates. There are, of course, some honest polls, but they are rarely connected to universities or liberal news sources: those will always lean extreme left. I have my favorite, but do your own homework.

Candidates are out campaigning. Republicans are talking about issues. Democrats are criticizing their opponents, using quarter-truths (at best) and flat out lies! They are heavy into accusing Republicans of worst case scenarios. Republicans will tell you what they want for America: the curbing of inflation, lower crime rates, a strong economy, a strong military, and closed borders to name a few. DemSocialists are more vague in what they want. They want access to abortions though the third trimester, and to end “global warming”. Anything else, you have to read between the lines.

From now until Election Day, you will also see the underhanded parts of politics. There will be people coming out of nowhere to accuse Republicans of this, that or the other. No proof? No problem. The Sewer Stream Media will cover for the accuser. There will be more bombshells exploding on the campaign trail than in Ukraine. Innuendos carry weight (through the SSM) when repeated enough. Ruin a man’s reputation and it’s difficult to recover.

Of course, then there’s always the cheat going on. And it’s begun in earnest! Earlier this week Hillary Clinton accused the Republicans of already plotting to steal the 2024 election. She should be an expert in that because of her failed attempt to steal the 2016 election. The DemSocialists have a definite trait. Anything they are guilty of doing, they blame their opponent. Joseph Goebbels, Chief Propagandist of the Nazi Party in Germany, would be so proud that his favorite habit is being kept alive so well.

As it stands, GOP lawmakers are already questioning Pennsylvania as to why they sent out 255,000 absentee ballots to unverified people. My home state of North Carolina Board of Elections was issued a court order to clean 40,000 voter registrations from their rolls. These were duplicates registrations, deceased voters, voters who had moved out of state. They’ve been under court order for several months and have yet to do anything.

Right now, there are more than 100 lawsuits surrounding elections nationwide. They encompass mail-in ballots, voting machines, voter registrations and poll watchers. The cheat will be strong this year. DemSocialists are already prepping for it. Just today, reports came out that there may be a shortage of ballot paper. Better vote early, so the Dems know how many ballots they need to “find” on Election night. That’s exactly how our Governor won his two elections, late at night “finding” enough votes to, not only win, but overcome the trigger amount for a recount!

We’ve done precious little for election integrity. Very few states have paid any attention to it at all. In 12 days, we’ll see the results. If states start shutting down, delaying the final result. we’ll know we should have done more. After all, it’s the only way the DemSocialist can maintain control.

Yesterday, Joe Biden announced that his administration is releasing another 15 Million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. I’m already on record as saying this was a terrible idea (click here to see) and my opinion hasn’t changed. It wasn’t an emergency back in April and it still isn’t. It’s terrible energy policy instead!

This latest release is nothing more than a vote buying scheme. The Biden Abomination thinks that if they can keep the price low(ish) until after the mid-term election in November, the lemmings will vote for them. Never mind the fact that it was their policies that caused the prices to more than double, close to triple in some locations, in the first place. They have to lie about this. In the same speech on the plundering of the reserve, they said that their Abomination did not repress or stop oil production in America. Oh, yes they did! On the first day in office, Biden halted the production of the Keystone pipeline and cancelled all drilling on federal land. Production nosedived from that point in time, 20 January, 2021! They want to blame Putin and his war for the price increases at the pump, but, in reality, that increase began more than a year before, on day one of the Biden Abomination.

A few months ago, Biden went to negotiate with Saudi Arabia for an increase of their production of oil. That was the reason given for the trip. Last month, OPEC decided to cut production by up to 2 Million barrels a day in an effort to bring the price up internationally. This brought talk of sanctions toward Saudi Arabia from the United States. Interesting enough, there’s 26 nations involved in OPEC, but Biden singled out just the Saudi’s. In response to Biden’s comments, the Saudis put out the statement that the discussions regarded not so much an increase of production, but rather a delay of the cut of production until after the November elections!. If true, and I believe it is, Quid Pro Joe was hoping for a quid pro quo. All he was after was a delay until the election for the price at the pump to start going up.

The release of 15 Million barrels of oil from the SPR will barely make a dent for Americans feeling the bite of inflation. Who knows, maybe Biden can make a deal with our enemies in Venezuela for oil. Or, maybe we can get oil from our enemies Iran. Or, how about ending the sanctions on Russian oil. One thing is certain: Biden has no interest in becoming energy independent again. They are talking about American production again, but they have no intention of bringing it on line.

I remember the gas lines of the ’70’s. I remember the rationing. I remember the violence at the gas pumps as someone tried to cut in front of another. I remember the gas stations running out of gas. Is this where we’re heading? Is this what Joe wanted to delay until after the election?

Things are looking grim. Globalists are all calling for war. Americans are low on their oil needs. What could be the worst time for a war? Throw into the mix a report by the Heritage Foundation giving a rating of weak, for the first time, to the US Military. If the DemSocialist’s goal is the destruction of the United States of America, how much closer can they get.

Earlier this week, Tulsi Gabbard, former Representative from Hawaii (2013-2021), publicly walked away from the Democrat Party. The former Vice-Chair of the Democrat National Committee posted a video laying out why she was leaving the party behind. In the video, she accused the Democrat Party of everything the Republicans knew the Dems were guilty of. She said the Democrat Party were an “elitist cabal of warmongers” that pushes “cowardly wokeness” and “anti-white racism”. She also said the Party “actively work(s) to undermine our God-given freedoms enshrined in our Constitution”. She implied that Faith and Freedom have no place in the Democrat Party. She laid Open Borders, rampant crime and a lack of unity at the feet of the Biden Abomination.

Tulsi’s video, her speech and subsequent interviews all raised much speculation. Yahoo had a headline after her video came out that said she was leaving the Democrat Party for the GOP. Nowhere in the video did she say anything about joining the GOP. Ballotpedia yesterday had Tulsi listed as an Independent (as of October 2022). Of course, Yahoo is usually wrong about everything. On the other side, I hear those saying what a great Vice Presidential candidate she would make.

Here’s the thing: I absolutely applaud her walking away from the Democrat Party. I applaud anyone who walks away from that Party. When someone walks away so vocally, setting the Party ablaze, I’ll stand and give her the ovation she deserves. But, I’m going to keep things in perspective. While she blasted the Dems for their open border policies, she is an advocate for amnesty, like Lyndsey Graham and Marco Rubio. In 2016, she endorsed Socialist Bernie Sanders. After dropping out of the 2020 Presidential run, she endorsed Joe Biden. Over her tenure in the House of Representatives, she voted with Democrats on 90-94% of votes. She might not of voted with them on the truly wacko bills (I don’t know if she did or not), but 90% is a pretty good indication of how liberal she is.

I’ll give Tulsi Gabbard her due. Way to go, Tulsi! I’ll buy you a beer! But, I’m a Constitutional Conservative. I love our country. I love our Republic. I love The United States of America. I have worked on campaigns for Conservative candidates. I believe Conservatism is the ONLY way out of the debacle into which the Democrat Party has gotten us. While the DemSocialists are against everything Conservatives stand for, too many times, the RINO’s are right there holding us back and helping the other side!

WHEN we win back the House and Senate, status quo must end. Leadership needs to change. There is no way Mitch McConnell should be the Senate Majority Leader. I can think of several good Conservative options. Kevin McCarthy in the House, also needs to be replaced. Jim Jordan would be great! Conservative and Constitutional; the way to Make America Great Again!

For the last five or six election cycles, I’ve been part of a panel who has graded candidates statewide, and occasionally in other states, to determine which candidate has the highest degree of Conservatism and Family Values. I study a campaign’s donations, endorsements, past voting record (for those already in office), and website. In previous years, we did this exclusively for the Republican Primaries. This year, I missed the primary panel due to a prolonged hospital stay, but I was invited to do the grading for a panel for the General Election. This is the first time, and hopefully not the last, this group has done the General.

I got involved with this group, because I was basically doing the same thing for my own ballot, local, state and federal. I ended up grading more races than I usually would, but, hopefully it would help other voters find the right candidate. I usually was volunteering to campaign for one or two candidates. To be fair, I excluded myself from grading in those races.

This year, doing the General Election, I was grading Republicans, Democrats and Libertarians, or Independents. One thing I noticed immediately while studying the websites for the Dems, was the lack of much, if any, information about their positions. There were several vague references to making the economy better, but none of them said anything about how they would go about it. Most of them mentioned climate change (hoax). Some mentioned the LGBTQXYZ movement. Some mentioned the systemic racism. Some of them mentioned election reform, but their idea of that is to make it easier to cheat, just the opposite of what we want! When added to their donations and endorsements, they were fairly easy to grade!

Another thing I noticed was blatant lies and misrepresentations out of the Dems campaigns. This comes from campaign ads running on television as well as their websites. The majority of them give the idea that the only issue of interest to anyone is abortion. They believe there is only two degrees on the argument: total ban on abortion or abortion up to the moment of birth or beyond! According to them, that’s the only difference between the two parties. Republicans will ban all abortions while Democrats will continue murdering babies at will! Their numbers are all askew also! On one ad, they claim 85% of women want abortions legalized. That may be the case if your sample is inside a Planned Parenthood facility or DemSocialist Headquarters, but not anywhere else.

Anyway, do your own homework and find out the right candidate to vote for. If you like the condition the country is in now, vote DemSocialist. If you prefer America First, energy independence, less crime, secure borders, etc., vote Republican! Remember, there are many more issues before you than murdering babies! It’s your choice. Make the most of it!
