Our heads are buried in our tiny screens for hours every day. Many of us think our electronic view of the world is more real than what we and our friends see with our own eyes and hear with our own ears.

Its more than just the media. NBC and CNN have hired all those ex-spies for a reason. But The Department of Education should be renamed The Department of Child Propaganda. The government is on a all out war of propaganda. Microsoft censored another republican candidate yesterday. Social Media is also under the control of our government.

Since Biden showed up in the Oval office the media has picked up on the MAGA extremist (no doubt inspired by Obama) term. They spit it out like it's a swear word ... closely associated with white supremacist another term they use frequently.

I just wish someone would ask Biden or KJP what MAGA stands for. The ask why they are against it.

Pointless - the people managing Biden believe that America has NEVER been 'great', and their way is the only way for 'greatness'.

Biden doesn't believe in anything but power and his cut. Never has.

Not a new problem - smartphones just deliver the hobgoblins instantly, to the types of audiences who might never have paid attention in previous generations:

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed and hence, clamorous to be led to safety - by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." -- H. L. Mencken
