If you are ever in Columbus, Ohio be sure the visit the National Veterans Memorial Museum. It isn’t filled with General’s BS planning or politician’s grand words. It shows the real experiences of GIs, sailors, Coast Guard people, airmen and women and Marines through our many wars. You will see real duty to our nation and the personal costs that many veterans paid and are paying. The museum shows the good, the bad and the ugly without the gore or glory of war.
Isn’t it strange that FOX NEWS is being sued for 1.3 billion dollars by Dominion voting systems and FOX forgets to mention this for their many dedicated viewers. They call themselves a news program?
Summary of lawsuit and situation
Most Trumplicans believe that their base voters are gullible and evidence supports that view.
How many Trumplicans blame Biden for events that occurred in 2020 and most Republican voters accept that, BUT Biden was not president in 2020, Trump was.
North Carolina Republican representative Madison Cawthorn admitted he lied about cocaine orgies he saw in Congress. Guess which ex-president supported him?
Georgia’s representative Marjorie Taylor Greene denies involvement in the January 6th insurrection, but her texts and videos prove otherwise. According to her, California wildfires are started by Jewish developed space lasers. QAnon is some deep agent in the US government providing information that have all been shown to be lies. She loves the AR-15 for its high efficiency.
Georgia’s Herschel Walker’s failed campaign for senator was filled with fake awards and important jobs he never had and he came close to being elected by Republican voters, who don’t know or care about truth.
It should be no surprise that George Santos learned to be a good Trumplican and lied his way into being elected from New York state. If lying is an effective strategy, just keep doing it. As all sports fans know, keep doing what works on the field. We will keep getting worse and worse liars until we stop being so damn gullible.
For decades the GOP claimed that they were the fiscal conservatives, but under Republican then Trumplican presidents our national debt increased twice as fast as under Democrates.

Below is for those who didn’t see recent comments on our Constitution and the 2nd Amendment.
A major source of society’s problems is a disconnect between people who have the authority and people who have the responsibility. Take for example, the issue of gun availability in America. The current Supreme Court (SCOTUS) is made up of 6 “Originalist” and 3 “Constitutionalist” justices.
“What is originalist vs constitutionalist?
Originalists argue that the meaning of the original constitutional text and definitions are forever fixed and can only change through amending the Constitution. Amending the Constitution is extremely and politically very difficult.
Living constitutionalists believe that constitutional law can and should evolve in response to changing times and values. For example, an outhouse on a farm is a private right, but not in the middle of a city because public health is threatened by you having an outhouse. Interpretation is a balancing act to ensure that all constitutional sections are considered, not just one preferred section.
“Amendment II
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.“
An Originalist says that, “, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.“
I could agree with them except during its writing “Arms” meant a single shot, muzzle loading rifle or pistol. I have no objection to any normal adult having that arm. I don’t think the authors could have imaged a modern semiautomatic weapon with a 30 round magazine. THEREFOR; the authors did not authorize semiautomatic weapons with a 30 round magazine. Only magical thinking by the Supreme Court can believe that the author’s envisioned modern weapons when they wrote the Constitution. That is way outside the original “Arms” definition.
But maybe “Arms” meant any personal protection weapon? If that is the case then why are there laws that prevent individuals from owning machine guns, hand grenades, claymore mines and flame throwers? Any of these can be very effective self defense weapons.
Which is it? Originalists choose one: Muzzle loaders or flame throwers?
Going back to making a problem, the current Supreme Court used their authority and forced the responsibility onto the thousands of people shot each year, their families and our general welfare.
AND the Supreme Court doesn’t even allow ARMS in their court room. That is hypocritical and very unfair.
Any constitutional amendments must consider the Constitution’s introduction as the basis for understanding the framer’s intent. Thus, the Constitution’s introduction is defining their intent.
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
And finally, many Christians say that being gay is a choice. When did you choose to be hetero. Do you remember the day or you never made that choice? You just were hetero as a kid. I wonder if LGBTQ people never made a choice just like you?
