    We ducked a bullet when Merrick Garland wasn't approved as a Supreme Court Justice.

    Ted Cruz climbed on board that bus too. But then, I've never trusted him. Despite his frequent constitutional rhetoric, his wife was literally one of the authors of Agenda 21.

    The only good thing about Ted Cruz is that he managed to squeak past Beto O'Rourke.

    I can't think of a single thing. There are things I'd die for, but there is nothing I'd kill for.

    However, there are some wackos running around loose who would go to war against a duly elected U.S. administration. But they are not a large enough group to get very far. Jan 6th, 2021 comes to mind when those nuts attacked the Congressional Building.

    You watch too much CNN or the equivalent propaganda.

    What makes you say that ?
    As a matter of fact, I haven't seen any CNN broadcast in years.

    When someone quotes propaganda as if it were fact, it's reasonable to assume that they listen to propaganda.

    I saw film of it on the evening news. Jan 6th, 2021. They stormed the Capital Building, broke glass and ransacked offices. THAT MY FRIEND, IS NOT PROPAGANDA. IT'S a KNOWN FACT.
    Later, some were arrested, placed on trial and given sentences in prison. Fact ! Not propaganda !

    So….revealing half truths isn’t propaganda?
    And, sentencing individuals without the benefit of all the evidence is just?

    Just a question with two parts:
    First, we have a drug addicted black man who had a criminal record for violence, theft and drugs. He breaks the law and resists arrest but whilst being detained by an officer of the law, he dies. The white officer(s) involved are arrested and prosecuted and a bust of the criminal is put on display and the Speaker of the House claims that he gave his life for justice.

    Second, Asli Babbitt was a white female military veteran with no criminal record who was caught going through a broken window at the Capital. She was given no chance to surrender but instead, she is shot and killed by a Capital cop. The cop was not detained nor given leave for further investigation and fully exonerated for the life he took.

    The question? Where does equal justice for all start?

    And a secondary question: If folks are so derned disturbed by a NAME, then why aren’t they equally disturbed by not only the name of George Floyd being honored but by a bust also created in his honor?

    Seems to me that folks are real picky about their hero’s. (sarcasm)
    Let’s strike the names of Confederate Generals and call them traitors whilst at the same time, let’s put a guy like Gen. Sherman who led troops to kill women, children and old men whilst burning their farms, homes, cities and towns down on a pedestal.

    Would the "evening news" be CNN, MSNBC, ABC, or NBC? If so, on this issue, you're watching propaganda.

    When I see film of mobs of hundreds of people smashing in windows and doors the Congressional Building and ransacking , and beating Capitol police bloody, it I fail to understand how it can be called propaganda.

    And not merely a few minutes of film , BUT literally hours of the films.

    Anyone who wants to see those films of the Jan 6th riots can see dozens of youtube videos from a wide variety of sources.

    Why do you say bullshit to my post on the films of the Jan 6th riot/insurrection at the Capitol ? Do you believe all of those films are faked ?
