      To the extent that we deny it, we suffer."  - Unknown

• The question is whether we are a nation operating under the rule of law, or one operating under the rule of power. I regret to say that today we are not governed by the rule of law.

• We are a constitutional republic and a nation of laws; we are not subject to the whims of whomever happens to win a presidential election.

• Until a relatively safe, high level of Americans recognize how far the American left has lurched toward Socialism and Communism we are at risk of no longer being a free country.

• Abraham Lincoln is enshrined in the Wrestling Hall of Fame, having lost just once in 300 matches.

• The virulent anti-Russian propaganda and demonization of Putin has destroyed Russian confidence in the West.

• For many years now the President of Russia has made the point publicly that the West does not listen to Russia. Washington does not hear when Russia says “don’t push us this hard, we are not your enemy. We want to be your partners.”

• Political correctness is a contradiction of reality and distortion of morality that relentless government intervention devised by those who seek to control our lives.

• Americans have yet to realize that liberal policies don't fight poverty; they maintain it.

• Democrats talk about "change," but they're the party of stagnation. Their welfare policies keep the poor mired in poverty, crush the middle class and keep them from becoming wealthy, while doing little to impact the richest Americans.

• Eight of the ten richest congressional districts in America are represented by Democrats. Eight of the ten richest counties in America also voted for Obama.

• One of the biggest myths in politics is that Republicans are the "party of the rich."

• President Eisenhower coined the term “military industrial complex,” while JFK called it a “system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.”

• War defines the United States. The Department of Defense the world’s largest employer, with more than 1.3 million men and women on active duty, and 742,000 civilian personnel.

• The answer to bad speech is not censorship, the answer to bad speech is more speech. We have to exercise and spread the idea that critical thinking matters, now more than ever, given the fact that lies seem to be getting more popular.”

• Individuals should be allowed to discriminate. I discriminate all the time. I favor people over others when I choose my friends, jobs, hobbies, clubs, religion, etc. So do you.

• The more people recognize what’s really happening in our world, the more people will take a stand and do whatever they can to change it.

Eliminating "Fake News"or Legitimizing It?

      The sheer amount of propaganda generated by the U.S. media for left-wing causes has been simply stunning. It spews out daily foaming-at-the-mouth rabid commentary against Donald Trump and swooning for election loser Hillary Clinton. The mainstream media is nothing more, by and large, than a propaganda arm for the Democrat Party, and their actions now, especially as compared to the past eight years, out them as such.

         *Fake news is news reported with opinions and speculation while leaving out crucial               facts that the authors and corporate owners disagree with.

      The intention of their owners is quite clear – to warp the reality of the American public persuant to their agenda. Multiple award winning mainstream journalists have come out stating that mainstream media is full of corporate and government agendas, that they are instructed and paid by these entities to make up stories and create fake news. Some of the American public is waking up. Asked to cite the reason that these media report fake news 39% say they do it “On purpose in order to push an agenda,” while only 17% say it is “By accident or because of poor fact checking.”

      When, because of the modern communications

(internet) those in the media are being called out on their mis-representations of the facts, they cry out “fake news” but their definition is different. Further attempting to confuse the public their definition is that they are lies being spread by our enemies. They claim they will remedy this problem by bringing in “fact checkers”, but whose facts are they going to check? Let us take a look at their “fact checkers” to see who will tell you what is real and what is not.

• The Washington Post, who had to admit to putting out an inaccurate 'fake news' list just a week ago.

• Facebook is also to be part of their fix and they have decided that you shouldn't just be able to share links to what you're interested in without the left getting a say so they've teamed-up with George Soros's Open Society Foundations which will fund fact checking initiative. Facebook is giving the partisan left free reign by allowing them to undermine any conservative link while promoting their own agenda.

              Fake news peddlers themselves however welcomed the announcement. 

                                                 'This is the right approach,' 

             - Marco Chacon, the founder of fake news site RealTrueNews.org

• Other “checkers” include the ever truthful(SI) mainstream media sites such as ABC News, PolitiFact , and Snopes though their real agenda is heavily debated . I feel safe(SI) already.

      It’s important for us to remember that 90 percent of western media is controlled by a small group of people and the corporations they run, six to be exact. This makes it impossible for anybody to get any type of information that is not in line with their agenda in order to maximize their profits and carry out any other agendas that they might have. Instead of internet censorship, the correct thing to do would be to uncensor the internet and have people examine sources, and let them decide for themselves what they’d like to believe based on all of the information that’s out there using critical thinking, not just on what we are being told is truth.
