Currently we are experiencing the full throttle of bad reporting. In a nutshell it is propaganda. The media swings from one side to another with little rationale. If Congress is looking for models of responsible leadership, then the media only is fueling the fires of disruption, volatility, and manipulation. About what am I talking? The search for a new Speaker of the House was forefront, and suddenly there is war in the Holy Land. Hamas attacks Israel using the vacant Speakership as an advantage. American government is stunted with no Speaker of the House, but WAR sets all kinds of precedents in governance. When the United States declares war formally with approval by Congress, then the President can do all kinds of things. When further scrutinized these liberties and privileges often can become corrupt favoring America's sizable defense sector. General Dwight Eisenhower often warned about the problems of a war economy. It would be easy to submit to the basic and necessary construct of killing the enemy to ensure your own freedom. It is primitive, and we are living in a primitive era. It should be the post Trump Era, and although President Trump is out of office and being prosecuted for multiple criminal indictments, the media is making his opinion important. Who cares who Donald Trump wants to be Speaker? He is not the current President. He is sitting in a court room all day watching his financial empire implode. What relevance to American government does his opinion have in such a manner? The answer is this annoying and disruptive reporting clearly exposes the ex-President's influence on current members of the House of Representatives. He seems to be running the House from the courtroom like a convict sending death threats to civilians on the outside. The Mob Boss has taken the limelight with the help of Hamas. It would be wise to assume Iran now has become a Trump ally. He withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) implemented by Barack in 2018 and reinstated devastating banking and oil sanctions. Or not? We do not seem to know who Trump's allies are. That must be the characterization of the unrest of today. We don't know who the enemy is. It is just a big cloud of dust that Trump and the media keep spinning. Trying to choose a Speaker of the House as a defendant in a courtroom must be the most lunatic. I would like to point out that the media's depiction of the search for a new Speaker is not helpful. Suggesting a henchman in the January 6th debacle should be allowed to run is lunacy. The only candidate who remotely should be considered has not even been mentioned. Representative Tom Emmer at least appears to have a semblance of normalcy. He coached hockey. The mafia-like siege of Washington, while it could make an interesting television series, needs to be quelled. There is too much at stake for the human race, and that includes planet Earth. There is no time to quibble, game, or indulge in selfish delusion. America to recover as a functioning free nation must fix Washington. That means elected representatives must serve the people, not the elite.
