Ukraine is not the biggest crisis we are facing in the world today. Our biggest crisis is discerning the truth on everything from the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine to why the video’s of the Capitol riot cannot, for some mysterious reason, be released to the public. In order for us to act responsibly and accurately in crisis situations, credibility of information is essential. Enter fact checkers.
In case you haven’t noticed, there are those who actually have the truth at their fingertips. Wayne Johnson is one. See page six in this week in The Voice. If you want to know something, a fact checker, or Wayne, has your answer. Then with time the facts change. That’s been known to happen. But don’t dare disagree with what already has been established as the truth! Do not disagree with established fact checker truth. Because if we have the audacity to disagree, we are censored. See Zuckerberg, Twitter, and Google for details.
Google is a left-leaning search engine for information. So depending on the information you are trying to recover, you may have to get past the first 40 or more articles on the subject before getting information not tainted by leftist politics. I stopped using Google a long time ago. It has a leftist political positions and arguments you will encounter first. I know it from experience. Big Tech is left leaning. But maybe I should Google it to make sure I’m right. Or should I ask Wayne?
The things our country is divided on are innumerable. Politicians and media have sliced and diced us into irreparable division. Pick any subject and you will find the fault lines separating us. But if we would continue to listen to each other this could actually be a good thing which is why the First Amendment is so important. We should have disagreements. Respectful disagreements bring new ideas and new answers. They are healthy, unless disagreement turns into character assassination.
There is at least one contributor to The Voice who never misses an opportunity to bring up Donald Trump without describing the former president to resemble the stuff you get on your shoes after cleaning out the barn . I think Mr. Johnson is projecting when he does it
Many leftists in our country hate the former president. They still can’t get over Hillary Clinton’s loss. They claw at their faces and scream at the sky as they portray the former president in the most vile ways they can conjure. Wayne Johnson does it on a regular basis. He does it to distract attention from a cognitively-impaired man in the White House, whom I assume he voted for president.
Distractions must be made when hundreds of Americans and thousands of Afghans in Afghanistan are left to die. They are still dying today. In Wayne’s World, distraction from Joe Biden’s legacy of failure is key. What better way to do it than to hate Trump.
Joe Biden has failed himself and our country in every way. He was for defunding police before polls indicated Americans were furious about the high crime defunding them created. Joe sent the FBI against parents at school board meetings, Joe created unconstitutional COVID mandates against all sectors. Joe destroyed our oil independence and oil production in the first days after his inauguration. In the same breath, he lifted sanctions on Russia to allow Putin to finish his Nordstrom pipeline into Europe. Putin got rich supplying all of Europe with his energy. We got poorer and energy-dependent. We had no oil to export to Europe to counteract Putin’s hold on European economies. Putin no longer saw NATO as a threat as a result. The stars were in alignment. Putin saw his chance to take Ukraine and he invaded. Putin already took Crimea under president Barack Obama. Biden’s mistake is listening to youngster Greta Thunberg for his policies on oil management, instead of despicable Trump. Joe has destroyed our economy, food prices, gas prices, our southern border, immigration law, jobs, industry and created seven percent inflation. Gas prices impact the poorest in our country most. Joe doesn’t care. And it seems Joe didn’t care about the people of Ukraine either when he took Putin by the hand and escorted Vlad into Kiev saying: “Keep your invasion small.”
Biden expects us to purchase $70,000 dollar Teslas to solve our gas price crisis. Joe expects us to rewire our houses ($10,000) so we can plug them in to recharge. Joe expects us to purchase solar panels ($15,000-home-made in China) to heat and cool our homes. Oh, and what do power plants use to generate electricity? Answer: coal! China, India, and Russia, all burn fossil fuels!! Why do these countries not listen to Greta Thunberg? Hmmmm P.S. If the U.S. opened our oil spigots and sent oil and gas to Europe, Putin’s oil would become cheap. Putin would run out of money and bullets. Joe won’t do it! Fact check me on this!
