We Are Asking the Wrong Questions …

This morning, an email landed in my in-box with another unintelligent rant from Michael Moore. During his way-too-long knee jerk reaction to a 90 minute anything-but-a-debate that took place on CNN on June 27, 2024, Moore said, about halfway through, “I’m not a doctor. I could be (and hopefully am) wrong about all this. But I do have eyes. They don’t lie.”

Michael Moore, you were wrong, our eyes are deceived all the time by not showing us accurately what we are seeing. Often there is a disconnect between what we think we see, our brain, and our memories can even revise what we thought we saw.  Have you read The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, by Oliver Sacks? and/or Why eyewitnesses fail.

During Moore’s rant about what he saw, there was one name he never mentioned, Donald Trump (if the traitor’s name was there, I didn’t see it after reading the piece once and scanning it three times), who didn’t answer any of the moderator’s questions and repeated all of his fascist lies that have been repeated so many times in the last few years, I doubt anyone has been able to keep count.

After all, Traitor Trump learned from a master: Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party about repeating big lies.  “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda often attributed to the Nazi Joseph Goebbels.

I didn’t watch the original live debate, that wasn’t a debate. It takes two or more people to have a debate and the only person on that stage struggling to debate was President Biden. Traitor Trump repeated his campaign slogans that are all lies and have always been lies going back to the day he came down that escalator in Trump Tower on June 16, 2015.

After the debate, I started reading the reactions and summaries about the CNN disaster that didn’t challenge Traitor Trump’s lies.

As for me, it took an effort to set aside all the panic and criticisms I was hearing and reading about President Biden and wait a few days to learn more and come to a conclusion.  I’ve learned through the decades, I turn 79 in August, that it helps to wait before reacting to something unless it’s a life and death situation like when I was a US Marine in Vietnam being shot at. We don’t have time to think then.

Moore said more shit like, “He’s 81! What do you expect? You’ll be 81 someday!”

Well, Michael Moore, I’m much closer to 81 than you are and I don’t agree with your mindless knee jerk rant.

Then on June 29, I watched this video. That is the day after the debate that wasn’t a debate, and I didn’t see the same Biden from the day before.  By then, I’d seen the worst of Biden’s performance on the 28th

Before writing this post, I also watched an unedited ProPublica interview with Joe Biden from September 2023, nine days before his interview with conservative Republican Special Counsel Robert K. Hur, who had worked in Traitor Trump’s administration before he was appointed to oversee the DOJ’s investigation into classified documents found at Biden’s Delaware home. That was no different than hiring a hungry wolf to guard a flock of sheep.

After watching the June 29th video, I wrote a poem comparing two men, although I have problems thinking one of the two is human. I’ll leave it up to anyone that reads this blog post who I think that one is.

NO NAMES

Two men close in age

One accused of crimes with no evidence

The other

Twice impeached

Guilty of rape

Guilty of fraud

A convicted felon

Two men close in age

One honorably served the people for 54 years

The other

Cheated his workers

Cheated his Secret Service agents

Cheated university students

Cheated his wives

Cheats at golf

Doesn’t always pay his bills

Two men close in age

One never accused of rape

The other

Found guilty of rape once

And 18 women have accused him

Of sexual harassment or sexual assault

One alleged victim was 13

Brags he grabs them by the pussy

Two men close in age

One stands strong with other democracies

The other

Says he fell in love with

North Korea’s Kim Jong Un,

who wants to nuke the United States,

And calls Putin a genius

For starting a brutal war

With a smaller country

Two men close in age

One practices a healthy lifestyle

Also shows off his latest reading

The other

Three years younger, is ten years older

Eating McDonald’s and meatloaf

Drinking 12 brain damaging Diet Cokes daily

Thinking exercise is bad

Has a lethal aversion to reading

Two men close in age

One sometimes gets his facts wrong

And broke 3 of his campaign promises

The other

Does not care about facts

Lying more than 30,000 times in four years

Breaking 55 of his campaign promises

Ranked the worst president ever

*****

Here are America’s Worst Presidents. Traitor Trump was ranked the #3 worst president by the 2022, Siena College’s Presidential Expert Poll, #4 by the 2021 C-Span Presidential Historians survey, and #1 by the 2024, Presidential Greatness Survey.

I also suspect Traitor Trump is allegedly responsible for Biden’s performance on June 28, 2024.  It’s not impossible.

Here’s a link to the post I wrote about that.  Did Donald Trump Sabotage the Atlanta Debate?

Who started the most recent war in Gaza?

“The mind boggling, Orwellian universe where murder becomes a justified act of resistance, where killers are victims of oppression, and rapists are freedom fighters.” 

Stuck Between All Sides: A Young Woman Reflects on the War in Gaza
I have been disappointed and angered at most of what I’ve read in the traditional western media about this latest war in Gaza, that should be called propoganda supporting Hamas.

I’m thinking this way because most of what I read is blaming Israel for the suffering and deaths of Palestinians. Seldom if ever is there any mention of who started this slaughter, Hamas, who is using the deaths of Palestinians for propoganda purposes, Hamas, who dug their tunnels under hospitals and schools, Hamas, and then fought from nearby or from inside those hospitals and schools to draw fire from the IDF, during battles. Hamas.

Recently, as soon as the last cease fire and hostage exchange ended, I read about one Hamas missile battery, those boxy structures on the flatbed of a truck that can be easily moved.

I read that Hamas missile battery fired from inside a Palestinian refugee camp in south Gaza, drawing return fire from IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) who have the technology to determine almost instantly the moment the missiles were fired, where they came from.

Still, the Hamas terrorists that manned that missile battery probably had time to escape the IDF return fire. Those brutal murderers may have also driven off in that truck so they could fill the battery with more missiles and drive to another location near a concentration of Palestinian refugees.

I looked in the western media for reports of that incident, and what I read all used the word “alleged” when mentioning that Hamas missile battery being located inside a South Gaza Palestinian refugee camp, but those news reports did not use the word “alleged” when mentioning the IDF’s return fire. That made it sound like the IDF fired on a defenseless Palestinian refugee camp and not returning fire on a location where Hamas missiles had been fired at Israel first.

It’s easy to slip bias into a news report without lying. In this case the bias is glaringly obvious. Hamas did no wrong. Israel is guilty.

I know who is guilty for every life lost in this latest war against Israel. Hamas.

When the IDF invited reporters into the ruins of schools and hospitals to show them the entrances to tunnels that had been discovered, Tunnels that led deep underground the language in the news reports was biased, casting doubt that Hamas would do something like that. Making it sound that the IDF was lying.

The only recently discovered tunnel that led sixty feet deep to the main tunnel that was big enough to drive a car or truck through, that didn’t have the biased language in those news reports, casting doubt, was the tunnel entrance found outside of the Gaza city near the Gaza border with Israel, a large tunnel leading under the border into Israel. The reporter in that news report was from the AP. Outside the entrance at ground level, no sign of houses or buildings anywhere close to it. Still that tunnel led back toward Gaza city.
