Questions...

Why are many politicians of the Democratic party who are in positions of power today so openly and obviously concerned about the potential retribution of new leadership in 2024?  The choice to use the word retribution is theirs, by the way. Methinks they "doth protest too much". Simply stated retribution is punishment for wrong doing.  Perhaps these politicians should be more concerned about righting the wrongs they have done than about fear mongering. Is their anticipation of retribution an admission of guilt about directed, on-purpose crimes or merely guilt about mistakes with major consequences that they were too short-sighted to anticipate? They admit neither, but we, the American people, see them both -- or at least some of us do. Perhaps these "leaders" need to be punished and they know it. I notice, by the way, that they often accuse others of doing things that they, themselves have done or are currently doing. It leaves a bitter taste if one is on the sidelines watching helplessly or seemingly so.

Why are so many "journalists" today afraid to dig deep to the root of a story? What do they gain being in cahoots with these wrong doers, mentioned above, and with those who bury and twist the truth? Is it laziness? Greed? Fear? Is it yet another case of "follow the money"? What happened to researching and writing about real events with truth - all the while using the most objective perspective as possible? What happened to "Seek Truth and Report It" (from the Society of Professional Journalist's Code of Ethics)?

There's more ... have we seen enough of DEI, Big Government and the aftermath of both yet? 

Is there such a thing as a hero to the rescue? Ever?

Is there such a thing as a fair and uncorrupt election?

These are just a few of the things I try not to think about when I am trying to fall asleep at night. This is why I sometimes have self-imposed "news" blackouts. This is why I am compelled, once in a while, to write about the truth I have come to know and to ask questions that are hard to answer.
