<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: normal;">Jon: If you don't like Trump, the Media and politicians are to blame for his rise and dominance. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: normal;">Resources are scarce, the world is competitive, and, unfortunately, selfish and dishonest people too often get ahead. </span><span style="line-height: normal;">Even information and education are scarce and access is controlled by people who don't necessarily want the average person to get ahead.</span><span style="line-height: normal;"> So, we are left with a lot of unnecessary confusion and disagreement in the world, a</span><span style="line-height: normal;">nd I think dishonest people in the Media and in politics (who think they are smarter than they really are) try to justify their own complicity and corruption by convincing themselves that the public is stupid, dangerous or out of control. It makes them feel better about controlling and distorting information, etc.</span><span style="line-height: normal;"> But, I think it's all much simpler. I don't think the public is out of control and needs to be controlled. Instead, corrupt leaders need to do more to help people instead of focusing on themselves. I</span><span style="line-height: normal;">f we weren't lied to so much, people wouldn't be acting so crazy and be so angry. Pe</span><span style="line-height: normal;">ople are sick of politicians and Trump is capitalizing on that.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: normal;">Here's an article by John Pilger, an honest journalist, who explains the reality and magnitude of the problem: </span><span style="line-height: normal;">http://johnpilger.com/articles/war-by-media-and-the-triumph-of-propaganda</span>Jon or Erichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17687830901613525280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3440701602701888898.post-11525562014459029822016-03-12T18:51:00.004-08:002016-03-12T19:21:03.041-08:00Will Trump Choose Condoleezza Rice as VP?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="line-height: normal;">Jon: Trump is the first modern-day candidate never to use a teleprompter, and he instead just talks to people, which helps people feel included. Even though he is a billionaire, he speaks to us all on the same level. The Media underestimates that power; people are hungry for that.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: normal;">Allen: Yeah, it's great! It's funny that he gets crushed so much for changing stances. He basically says what he thinks and sometimes changes when he receives new information; seems pretty reasonable</span><br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: normal;">Jon: Two debates ago, he changed his stance on something while on stage, but people still trust him because he actually talks to them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: normal;">Allen: Yes, he did. And, it actually makes more sense than TrusTed who won't even consider any view other than his own. Ted just knows he's right all the time.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: normal;">Jon: Lying Ted and Little Marco. Can you imagine getting away with calling well known politians that on national TV over and over, to their faces? It's nutz! And people love it!</span><br />
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: normal;">Allen: This election cycle is definitely entertaining. Yep, Lying Ted and Little Marco. He called Ben Carson Pathological then got his endorsement. Amazing!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: normal;">Jon: Carson and Christie will get cabinet positions or something. I think Trump wins GOP nomination and chooses a woman for VP. Could be Palin again.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: normal;">Allen: I hope he does, a black woman!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: normal;">Jon: Pretty sure will be a woman to take votes from Hillary.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: normal;">Allen: It would be crazy if we end up with a contested convention.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: normal;">Jon: Yes. We will basically know on Tuesday.</span>Jon or Erichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17687830901613525280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3440701602701888898.post-26026983445056467982015-08-07T14:15:00.001-07:002016-03-12T18:56:23.627-08:00Why "The Donald" Will Be The GOP Nominee<span style="line-height: normal;">The Donald understands how the Media works from the inside, better than any other candidate in the history of the Presidential Election, ever. Conservatives hate and mistrust the Media. And, no candidate will do a better job during this election cycle, and probably ever again, at dismembering, dismantling, humiliating, discombobulating the efforts of Media. He exposes their uncreativity, their paralysis within the P.C. fortress they've built for themselves and that they are now captive within. He points at them and encourages the Conservative masses to mock them alongside him. It's such a rare quality and power that The Donald wields that pundits and experts alike not only don't know how to grapple with it, they don't even understand it. They cannot interpret or measure what's happening, partly because it's incalculable and unpredictable, but mostly because it's a factor that is not normally present or measured.</span> Jon or Erichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17687830901613525280noreply@blogger.com0
