How Do They Get Away With This?
Before I start, I would like to once again welcome my new subscribers. You didn’t even know you subscribed did you? Well you did! Thank you! What this Substack is all about is opinions and ideas. I don’t spell everything out for you, I expect that if something I write about intrigues you, you will do some further research and come to your own conclusions. It’s different than most blogs because I will have an opinion and I love to hear other’s opinions, unlike most Democrats, intelligent discourse is what I strive for.
Whew.
There are so many things over the last few years that the title of this column could represent and I have definitely hit on a few of them, but there are a couple of things that truly stand out.
First and foremost is how poorly the media in this country covers a story and how they inject their biases directly or indirectly into the coverage of that story.
We have known for over 10 years that the NYTimes, CNN, MSNBC (is that still around?) and all the major networks totally backs the idea that the Police in this country are all racists and trigger happy. They cover the Hell out of an innocent person of color getting shot with little or no justification and I really have no problem with covering the story fairly. It is news for God’s sake but when two police officers and an EMT get killed in a shootout in Minnesota, it is barely a mention in any media other than maybe the NYPost.
When I heard about this horrific tragedy in Burnsville, Minnesota I immediately wanted to learn more so I went on the NYTimes app to find out what happened. To no surprise, it wasn’t on the site, anywhere. Nothing, not a word. The shooting took place at around 5am on Sunday Morning and I checked the Times website later that day. Nothing. Believe it or not, CNN covered the story from the beginning and it was all over their app and online as well.
When I looked in the physical paper it was buried in the National section on something like page 13. Yet, they had 11 articles relating to Gaza and 9 article related to Ukraine. One 220 word article about three heroes. A damn shame.
I seem to recall the coverage of George Floyd could have filled a small hardcover book. Breonna Taylor, same thing. I am not saying that those stories didn’t need to be covered and covered well. I am just saying that the NYTimes will spend an inordinate amount of space on stories about defunding police, protecting the idiotic bail laws in New York but can’t waste space on details regarding the tragic deaths of three public servants.
One last note, There is not one word in the NYTimes yesterday or today about this tragedy.
This leads me into my second point. Is there anyone out there that thinks that there is something not right about the way the Democrats in this country are trying to take Donald Trump out of the picture? The witch hunts are all designed to make it more and more difficult for former President Trump to mount any sort of campaign for the Presidency in 2024. They have brought multiple charges against him for basically BS.
This latest egregious use of the judiciary has got me perplexed. How does a liberal judge go about fining Donald Trump over 400 million dollars? For what? He overstated the values (or was it understated) of his real estate empire. OK. Show me any real estate investor who doesn’t do that. If he is overstating the value of a property and wants to get a loan on that piece of property, isn’t it up to the lender to do his due diligence and ascertain if that property is worth as much as the borrower says it is? If you go for a home equity line of credit, the bank will send a legitimate appraiser to see if your numbers and his numbers match. Why would a major bank take any real estate developers word for it? They wouldn’t. Who did he defraud? Where was Alvin Bragg on this? I can tell you that the previous DA in New York County didn’t think there was any illegal shenanigans. DA Bragg has it in for President Trump, why wasn’t he leading the charge on this one?
Speaking of Alvin Bragg, the poster boy for horrible Liberal District Attorneys, he has this long winded case against Donald Trump. It involves “Hush Money”. Can I ask, what is illegal about that? Athletes, politicians and business men pay off people all the time. It may not be morally right but it is not illegal. They pay people to sign an NDA and that is exactly what President Trump did. He may have used cut outs to perform this task, but it certainly wasn’t illegal. The sad thing about this is that if he were to get a fair and impartial trial, he would be found not guilty. Chances of that are slim in Manhattan.
Just go and look at the other 61 indictments against President Trump. Will he get a fair shake? Probably not. Is he a criminal? A fair and balanced jury might find him to be one, I don’t know but the Democrats wanted to stack their cards.
They brought all of these charges in districts where fair and balanced do not exist. For example, find 6 natives in DC who are actually Republican and I will give you 20 bucks.
To me, and I am just an interest observer and no expert, it looks like the Democrats know without these different potential convictions, they would have zero chance of beating Donald Trump in a general election.
I just think it would have been better for Democracy if the Democrats put up a viable candidate from the get go.
Let’s be honest here. Donald Trump is no saint. There is probably some truth to all of this noise. However, the Democrats have cried multiple times about election interference, yet they can’t see that all of this is election interference with a different set of clothes.
