At Mount Rushmore, Trump digs deeper into nation’s divisions
AP ^ | July 4, 2020 | Stephen Groves, and Darlen Superville

At the foot of Mount Rushmore on the eve of Independence Day, President Donald Trump made a direct appeal to disaffected white voters four months before Election Day, accusing protesters who have pushed for racial justice of engaging in a “merciless campaign to wipe out our history.” The president dug further into American divisions Friday, offering a discordant tone to an electorate battered by a pandemic and wounded by racial injustice following the high-profile killings of Black people. He zeroed in on the desecration by some protesters of monuments and statues across the country that honor those who have benefited from slavery, including some past presidents.

A supposed AP news article is akin to a Goebbels press release.

Apparently that’s all they heard and saw.

Listen to them, to know your enemy. (Try not to watch - yeeesh)

Discredit them every single time you hear a story brought up by any sheeple. There may be a 3rd person listening.

This, and pray. Not much else we can do - the satanic corporate-media-academic-govt infrastructure runs deep and wide.

They - the media - had their narrative about Trump’s speech before it was written and regardless of what was written or what he said, and they are sticking to it.

The most accurate and compelling speech by an American President since Lincoln.

That is being very generous. Its actually more like 3% are responsible for 50% of murders. Black males between 15 and 35.

We assume high IQ means great wisdom. The greatest wisdom one has is a gift from God. We also inherit wisdom from our families.

When I was 15 in high school I was considered among the smarter kids and was somewhat isolated from others. I had a study hall where we had more mixing in an auditorium. I got to know a young lady who probably was less than average intelligence but she had great wisdom. It is 50 years later and I am still struck with learning that wisdom and intellect are different.

It was stated before the event what Trump would be speaking on....and why the stations wouldn’t cover it.....so they were fully loaded for the headlines we see today.

The “Media” is ruthless.
The Question is
How to “repair” it.
I just shut it off.

3 years ago, we celebrated a new Independence Day. We cut our cable and don’t watch ABCNNBCBS and Faux. Also no Disney or any sports cable pushing BLM or whatever.

I check on Fox online for headlines. If they are from the Hate America Faux rectums, I don’t click on their bs.

Besides saving over $200/month, we don’t allow the left winger haters of America into our home via the cable.

Neither do we.

In fact, we’re in the process of moving in to a new home and the TV, which we use only to stream, isn’t hooked up yet. Our normal schedule is to watch TV in the evening for 1-2 episodes of something or a movie, documentary, et al. We’ve drastically downsized and are now in the habit of watching a show on the laptop while eating a small, late dinner.

We have War Room on in the mornings and can hear it throughout the house. Talk radio in the afternoon/early evening, sometimes. News clips etc, if linked to article on line.

Local weather online.

We are informed and calm.

Life is good.

The Associated Press would have us believe divisiveness to be a bad thing by nature. The fact is, however, truth and beauty, law and order, would not be distinguishable were it not for the things that divide and distinguish them.

Likewise, the Associated Press would have us believe unity is a thing that must be praised and adored by nature. The fact is, unity must be judged by its cause, purpose, and ideals. Besides, what an insipid life and country we would have if everyone thought exactly the same.

Let us be united in distinguishing the Associated Press as a propaganda tool. Let us divide ourselves from those who burn, loot, and pillage as a means toward the Associated Press’ end.

Nazi Germany had "unity".

Says my wife and I are being fed propaganda!

That’s a good one. Just how does she see that happening to folks who might be double her age and E X P E R I E N C E?

She needs to hear in your debate a series of Rush Limbaugh Montages, where the word of the day is passed among all the agencies propagandizing your DIL.

Tough one. Especially the thought that your relationship with Grandchildren might be in jeopardy.

When I see manure in a media article, my eyes rise immediately to the source, and more times than not, what to my wondering eyes should appear? AP
