    The Trump Card...

    If you take a close look at that district you'll see why it's shouldn't have been a Republican walk-through at all. In fact, Ossoff (if Ossoff was someone other than an unmarried, 30 year old filmmaker who didn't live in the district) should have won in a landslide. That district has morphed...

    That's the undue influence of the vegan tree hugger.

    No Idle Ann Arbor Mich

    The vast majority of methane is produced by decaying debris from natural sources such as wetlands, rivers and streams, gas hydrates on the ocean floor, and melting permafrost. Termites are the second largest source of global methane emissions. Next comes the extraction and burning of fossil...

    No Idle Ann Arbor Mich

    It's drive-thrus at restaurants and banks that have been proven to be, by far, the worst culprits of idling emissions.

    The Trump Card...

    If the winner of that election wins in a landslide, like a 30, 40 point margin, then you can begin to consider that it might be a referendum on Trump. But a single election not involving Trump as a candidate does not a trend nor a referendum make. A good reporter can faithfully and accurately...

    You want to be careful about blaming the rape victim because she wore a short skirt and high heels.

    The Trump Card...

    Unfortunately, many, maybe most, are journalists who claim to be unbiased and completely impartial, yet adhere to virtually none of the Canons of Journalistic Ethics. The biggest problem isn't even the ones who pretend to be unbiased and claim to be, it's the ones who are highly biased and...

    The Trump Card...

    A partisan press has existed ever since Guttenberg invented the press. A partisan press nearly forced George Washington to quit midway through his second term, and absolutely resulted in him not seeking a third term. A concerted effort of misinformation and blatant lies from Thomas Jefferson and...

    The Trump Card...

    Here's another nifty bit of factual news that's crafted to insinuate that Trump's up to something nefarious. It is from the Paper of Record, the lovable New York Times. The headline reads: Russia Renewed Unused Trump Trademarks in 2016 The lede of the piece, which is what the article is...

    The Trump Card...

    From CNN at 17:02... (paraphrasing, but it's very close) The president nor his legal team have been notified that he is under investigation. The key word is "notified." Just because he hasn't been notified that he is under investigation doesn't that he's not. In fact, he could very well be under...

    The Trump Card...

    When the journalist fails to be an honest broker of the news. Fake news is creating a partisan narrative that goes beyond, or even twists or selectively omits, the facts in order to tell the preferred narrative. It is interjecting supposition and opinion into the facts so as to distort the facts...

    U.S.S Fitzgerald collision

    I haven't bothered to go and look, but there is a Web site where you can look at the GPS trails of large ships at sea, and apparently that container ship was making some wild navigational maneuvers instead of taking a straight and true path. More than likely it was basically zig-zagging...

    U.S.S Fitzgerald collision

    Probably just human error. Boats don't have air traffic controllers like airplanes do. There are rules of the road, so to speak, to let boats know what to do in various situations, but mistakes get made every day. The guided missile destroyer definitely has collision avoidance electronics. The...
