They (the Legacy media) persist in their use of deceptive practices with the intent to obfuscate what is true. They conveniently avoid facts, that are known, intending to mislead those who are superficially engaged.
The freedoms granted to the media by our constitution, as intended, was for the protection of the masses against rogue governments and or political abuses.
However principled the intentions of our forefathers in granting this freedom of the press, they would most certainly be appalled by the ongoing, intentional distorting of what is true, and what is currently being disseminated to the public by the majority of legacy media.
Today's abundance of available media sources, for those who seek what's true, only adds to the confusion and mistrust of this information. The media's use of their platforms to promote an agenda, or for the purpose of propaganda to benefit a political party or political outcome, is exactly why we are no longer,

Make all donkeys great again..! In view of humanity
Moving away from our prime sources of energy.'
And in the aim of attracting..Um?? How should I
Put this?? The more stubborn voters(into the fold?)
No offence of harm has been carried out on donkeys
During the creation of this great new idea-illogical
Party' which I hope will garner billions in the cause of
Un-fixing things.? Well I am always hearing we are in
A fix.!! And its not like people have not gained billions'
Running a similar set up.!
Hear me out..Out there..!! Hey come back.))))) I have
Free carrots..' Free carrots today..Oh no its the greens
Now..I must email back ( i know of no carrots in carcerated)
Its just way too pc for me!!
Bye-bye, Benny Gantz
He says, ‘Just give peace a chance’
Israel has, since 2005
Left Gaza ~ lucky to still be alive
____________________________________
Gantz is a minister in Israeli P.M. Bibi Netan-
yahu's Cabinet... Gazans elected Hamas to be
its ruling political party in 2006. Since then,
Hamas has targeted Israel with dozens of
terror attacks, and kept Gaza on the brink
of collapse, thanks to its corrupt officials.
He is the king of the rebels
Keeps things stirred up and unruly
Disruptive, arrogant, an insurrectionist
Other people follow his lead and are jailed.
He is protected by a political party that wants to win
Trading integrity, honor, and the greater good for possible seat
Disgusting, rebellious, pompous revolutionary.
Big oil has its hands in our pocket
Pump prices rose like a rocket
It was just a ruse
Designed to confuse
The voters who vote with their wallet
Inflation to voters does smell
And affects what comes from a well
Now prices can drop
Since our vote didn’t stop
Long-term funding for Exxon and Shell
Author's Note: Isn't it funny how inflation picks up before an election, when we know it has long-term origins? I can't say it's an oil conspiracy, but when I was in the state of Washington at a small-town celebration this summer, one of the booths had a guy asking me what I thought of paying so much for gas. Of course he had no plan to fix the situation...just using inflation to get votes for his political party (the one in bed with big oil). While the election was not as great as big oil had wanted, they still have wealth flowing for now--even though their plastics and fuels are destroying the world. They could have faired better if they won the senate and got more conservative judges in place, so they're already working on 2024.
We are usually not aware
Of those things that cause despair
As long as they aren't shares of spoils
No one toils and moils
Like the menaces against our local farmers
We are not aware
The lives reported dead at the Toll Gate
We are not aware
The cause of the floods that ravage our communities
We are not aware
Just like milk that spoil when it stays too long
No political party should be allowed to stay for long
Three years and a term should be enough
The desired four years and two terms are always rough
Let's call a spade a spade
Maybe our leaders are happy at the sight our blood on their blade
The desperation that caresses their quest for power
Proves that they'll become intoxicated with veto power
The singular cause of our despair
Is their nonchalant attitude to repair
Except for the shares of booties
They didn't aspire to render civic duties
It goes without say how most times
We vote for the party and not the person
That's why we've seen many times
We don't really vote in the right person
There's something about being in a party
Being under people who've been at it
It's from the political party
That one grows politically, right at the heart of it
Forming alliances within the party ranks
People who not only just share ideas
They even finance you into those ranks
Bringing to reality your vast ideas
At times in the primary party elections
One is forced to take a seat back
And wait it out in the coming elections
Being told next time we'll have your back
But with time in the political party
Voicing your opinions you get attention
And even when you not the one in the seat for the party
You'll be the man consulted for your vision
The PO£T
Things sure have taken an ugly turn
But has anything really changed
Or has it really been like this forever
Since life has become rearranged
A person's life means nothing in war
Kill or be killed a wartime theme
No reason for the conflict to begin with
Rules for war are a pipe dream
How did that ugly theme ever begin
Maybe it was killing to survive
But man has taken it past that point
Maybe to keep a political party alive
I'm a peace loving individual
Really no question about that
I love cats dogs and birds in the sky
Have “Save The Animals” on my hat
She gives me her ideas, none of them mine.
I nod my head, but my soul is dancing in time.
The hippie wagon is coming for me today.
With a smile and a wave I yell hip hip hooray!
She is a member of a political party I abhor.
But this does not keep her away from my door.
She hates liberals, she tells me, and I keep quiet.
She sees the hippie wagon; I think it’s a riot!
But why would you go with those people? She asks, a bit dippy.
She has no idea but others know I am totally a hundred percent hippie.
I give her the peace sign as they carry me away.
Seeing her astonished face has kind of made my day!
Compromise
(politicians Can’t spell it much less do it)
Thoughts: of Miracle Man
11/4/2021
It doesn’t boil down, to either me, or you,
As Americans, we’re packed into the same canoe.
While some man the oars, far too many, just ride,
and with White House mandates we’re forced to abide.
Politicians are intent on playing a Political party game,
if they sink the canoe, won’t we all drown the same?
“Compromise makes a good umbrella,
but a poor roof.”
James Russell Lowell
*ring* *ring* (A Facetime call)
Mom: “Hey hun, what’s up?”
Me: “Well, let’s see..
“We have an armed law enforcement that’s scared of the civilians they police.
One political party so corrupt it’s no longer interested in serving the people.
Half the population ignores the one real power mankind has - science.
Hackers shutting down pipelines, schools, hospitals and companies.
News networks that are allowed to just make up lies as “news”.
Half the population that’s determined to be uninformed.
Social media is destroying the minds of our children.
A political party that encourages its followers to die.
A world that’s quickly poisoning itself to extinction.
Religions that endorse obvious liars and guns.
An economy that depends on our self doubt.
Foreign enemies manipulating our elections.
A supply system on the verge of collapse.
A party encouraging resurgent racism.
A badly neglected infrastructure.
Inflation starting to heat up.
A near endless pandemic.
And a rape culture.”
Mom: after a moment of silence
“Have you been reading the news again? You KNOW you tend to obsess.”
To hear some tell it our country is going to pot
They say the way it used to be, we’ve all forgot
As for me, I cannot say it has changed that much
I make my freedom; perhaps I am out of touch.
The times I think change somewhat naturally
But I am still the product of who I am culturally
I believe in telling the truth, unpleasant as it is
Some want to listen to the “big lie,” big lie ‘tis.
Isn’t it time we learned the truth of our history
Unmasking all that is enshrouded in mystery
Learning to deal with the life we’ve been handed
Instead of a life by malcontents’ colors branded.
Everyone has a right to their own way of thinking
Declaring everyone “woke” as a cop-out is stinking
I am not the product of a particular political party
I am the product of a good mind—hale and hearty!
written July 30, 2021
Never mind one's feet of clay, for not one soul is perfect.
Never mind what political party one swears allegiance to.
Never mind all the crazy things one says from time to time.
Never mind what sex one comes home to, or makes love to.
Never mind what name one calls God; if one knows God or not
What matters above all; one's inner humanity. We're all flawed yet special!
