Ramblings and memories of an amateur wordsmith and philosopher
It doesn't matter one bit if you believe this. It doesn't matter if you read it or if it gets buried by the new Ministry of Truth. It is still in full control of your life experience - and you have no choice especially if you live in America where I live.

I can't vouch for this vlogger or for what he is reporting but this is something new:
I suspect it could well be true though because it makes so much sense, but that's just my opinion.

Recently I have been finding myself watching Christian movies on YouTube and YouTube has been noticing my new behavior. So today their algorithms led me to this fascinating movie about how it used to be in contrast to how it is now with Christianity and the church and how that change came to be. In my life I have seen this old way on display and in my own personal life I have witnessed this new way of believing and living. You're in for an eye opener if you watch this movie all the way through.
Anyway, here's the movie:

Back when I was in my early twenties, a couple of summers after leaving the Air Force, I worked on a job cleaning up after a windstorm left hundreds of trees down in a local real estate development. Our focus was mainly cleaning up around the road network, so we frequently had brush fires on the roads. One guy on our small crew was named Dean and one day Dean and I noticed that whenever I came near the fire, the smoke would come my way. It didn't matter which side of the fire I was on, the smoke just came my way.
Dean, being the more intelligent one, pointed out to me that the reason that was happening was because, "Smoke follows a fool."
I don't know where Dean came across that tidbit of information, perhaps in Boy Scouts - like the notion of going on a "snipe hunt" which I actually did after dark one evening on a camping trip during my one year in the Boy Scouts - but the saying followed me around ever since. I've passed it along to quite a few other people not only to point out that I am a fool but also to show others that they are as well.
Low and behold it turns out that there might be less truth to that than meets the eye, although perhaps not knowing the real reason for the phenomenon and suffering the consequences may actually indicate that you actually are a fool. Anyway, here's the real reason:
Watching the graphics of this movie, I realized this might be a good way to display my unique theory of gravity, assuming the presence of a strong omnidirectional force field from which all matter is derived. But I'll leave that for another era I guess. Nobody on earth seems to care about my theory.

The short answer is...
Absolutely not.
I have been noticing lately that right-leaning mainstream media giant Fox News seems to be public enemy number one when it comes to conservative hopes to overcome the leftist Socialist dominance in America. Conservative voters tend to look for truth above all else when they judge who they can trust, and Fox has been tending to fall short on truth.
Hannity's biased coverage of the Ukraine war is a prime example. Hannity is old-school Fox from back in the days of George W. Bush and his Middle East wars. Hannity now is indistinguishable from left-wing media outlets with respect to Russia, Putin, and the corruption of the Ukraine. One would never begin to guess, based on Fox News, that Russia is doing the world a favor by eliminating right-wing extremist white supremacist elements from Ukraine's military or for exposing the disgrace of America's promotion of bioweapons research laboratories throughout the Ukraine.
But the real treachery in Fox News is their refusal to publish the truth about the 2020 election. Fox could be amplifying rather than silencing conservative perspectives concerning widespread fraud in 2020 perpetrated by Socialist/Communist elements of the left, yet they refuse to do so - and nobody can understand why. Fox knows it's not a lie to say the election was stolen but they refuse to speak the truth.
Why?
I have suspected for decades that mainstream media manipulates public opinion with respect to politics because of the enormous amount of money that is thrown at the media in close elections.
But for Fox to undermine MAGA voters and still expect their respect? When it comes to "truth", the left is stupid. Conservatives tend to be the ones seeking truth. Fox has a reputation of representing conservatives but that reputation, along with genuine conservative hopes for a Republican victory in November and a rebound for Trump and MAGA in years to come, is being sabotaged now by a hidden agenda dominating the network.
So should I trust Fox News?
Absolutely not.
You can if you wish, and I'll still use Fox as a resource, but I won't rely on Fox for the truth.
I do have a confession to make here. As a blogger, I might be a bit biased against Fox. I tend to like to link to online articles relating to topics in my blog. Fox won't let me do that. I can't link to Fox articles here in my blog and I don't have a clue why that is. It makes zero sense. To add insult to injury, Fox frequently doesn't link to other media sources for information in their articles, and that makes it difficult for me to link to reliable sources when I cover information revealed in Fox articles. So I have to ferret those references out for myself. I can do it, but it makes my job more difficult for no good reason. Fox should encourage good online journalism using hypertext rather than coveting the information for their own profit. Share and be shared is the proper approach for online journalism but Fox, for some reason, refuses.
Not a good way to win allies here on the Internet, if you ask me. If one were to ask me, the game, as played by Fox, is rigged.
...not to mention all the snarky hosts on the network...
"Snarky", is that even a word? Did I use it correctly?

The Supreme Court of the United States has been in the limelight the past week or so as a result of the unprecedented leak of the anticipated decision of the court to overturn the court's long-standing position on abortion.
That leak led to the doxing (for some reason not being referred to as doxing) of the conservative judges on the court resulting in the organization of radical leftist protests in the streets outside the homes of the conservative judges involved in that decision while the Biden administration turns a blind eye to any and all crimes related to this unprecedented intimidation of the court.
Normally this kind of behavior would trigger a response from the right, from the "patriot movement". You would normally expect large groups of bearded Harley Davidson riders charging to the rescue, or truck drivers blasting their horns at the demonstrators to show them who really does have the power in America to defend the laws of the land.
But I don't see that kind of thing happening. I see the patriots sitting back and just letting the left terrorize the justices of the court.
How does that make any sense especially since overturning abortion "rights" has always been important to the patriot right?
Then it dawns on me that the Supreme Court turned a blind eye while Democrats cheated the patriot movement out of victory in the 2020 election and is continuing to turn a blind eye to the imprisonment of political prisoners related to the January 6 protest against that theft.
In light of that, then yeah, why bother to take the risk to defend those judges from the radical left? In light of the court's indifference to election fraud and theft, why let the court's virtue signaling over abortion rights earn them any favor?

In recent years (like, say, the past forty-five or so years) guided by foresight, I have chosen to surround myself with passive aggressive people in order to educate myself to a degree where I can understand life in modern day America, and I have written in this journal about some of the lessons I have learned through my insatiable appetite for learning what few other people in America know.
Well as it turns out, I haven't been alone in my quest. Tucker Carlson has been cramming as well so that he can explain the phenomenon to the Fox News audience and here is the result. Feel free to let some of that knowledge and experience rub off on you:
Watch out! Here they come again!

Yesterday I appended my May 4 journal entry to comment on an Associated Press "fact check" article that they claim purports to show that the 2000 Mules film doesn't prove anything.
Guilt has been wracking my soul ever since I did that because I failed to mention the fact that I didn't read that AP article in its entirety. In fact I still haven't done so. The reason I had to stop reading is that I was finding the gaslighting to be so extensive, so pervasive, so exhausting, that it was starting to make me sick.
There, that's off my chest! Can my soul have some peace now?
I don't know what it is but fake news does that to me sometimes.

I rarely tell anybody to "go to Hell" but it just dawned on me that it's pointless to tell a leftist to go there because they already live there.

I came across a new character (for me, at least) on YouTube with an intriguing alternative take on the Ukraine situation and world politics.
He picked up on the cancellation of the letters V and Z by anti-Russian airheads and refers to Ukraine's president as "Ladimir Elensky. I'll point to Snopes to explain that story:

A reminder that a new significant documentary about the theft of a presidential election in 2020 is being released this week:
This is like a totally WOW moment...
Here's an Associated Press "fact" check article that blasts reality to shreds trying to persuade the AP reading audience to disbelieve what you just saw in the video I linked to above. It falls short in SO MANY WAYS!
You need to realize that this "fact check" is aimed at people who can only believe a consensus, not people who can rationally understand an argument and the whole point of the article is to establish that very same consensus. It's a lot like circular reasoning. We tell you that this is what the truth is so no matter what you actually witness yourself, the truth is what we just told you it is.
Here's the deal. Either the experts quoted here and the article's authors are too numb to have understood what the film clearly demonstrates or else they are lying to cover up voter fraud. Take your pick. Same difference. They don't care which explanation you believe as long as enough people believe there is a consensus that the film doesn't demonstrate fraud.

My personal impression of Trump's answer to Twitter...?
I can't say. I don't have an iPhone.
That in itself speaks volumes for me. Zero censorship and limited access don't jive.
... not to mention my suspicion of anything that labels itself as "truth". I seek the truth and try to speak the truth and don't mind desiring to have a reputation for that but calling myself "Truth" seems too much like calling myself "God".

This is a little much coming from a guy who shot a lady to death while (one might say) play-acting with a gun he clearly didn't know how to use safely:
Note that virtue signaling masks the lack of actual virtue. I keep thinking about why I have despised an Alec Baldwin character in many of his movies, the character where he plays a white male with little or no redeemable virtue. The movie Nodding Hill flashes back in my head when I think of that character role. If you recall, he played that character masterfully, convincingly.
As always, just one humble man's opinion here...
