True stories, real journalism

I went from CNN to Newsmax. It’s where you can actually find true stories, real journalism and real facts. Not lies like CNN. I used to watch CNN 24/7. I thought they were the class act, and they’re not. They do nothing but promote hatred and lies all day long, and start to brainwash people. So, folks, I recommend Sean Spicer and company on Newsmax.

Real American?

Law and order party, the Republicans say. You’ve got to be kidding me. Your man Bone Spurs says he’s going to pardon the insurrectionists. That’s real American, ain’t it?

Doomsday for this country

This is in regards to the caller who asked what the big deal is about getting rid of the filibuster. My God, what planet do you live on? That is something that’s been in place since our forefathers wrote the Constitution. Go to YouTube, and they will explain the importance of the filibuster. And no, the Republicans never ended the filibuster. And right now, you have two ranking Democrat senators that know that would destroy our country to end the filibuster. That would give us a one-party rule. Is that what you want? As if this country isn’t pushing fast enough for socialism. This would be doomsday for this country. Our forefathers put the filibuster into place for our democracy. Without it, we would be a banana Republican. So, get your facts right before you call in this garbage.

What’s that smell?

Who do you call if your neighbor’s got a pot-growing operation? I wish I could give you my number and you could call me.

Double-standard

I just saw that Whoopi Goldberg got a two-week suspension for her racist comments. Big deal. A two-week, paid suspension? Otherwise, a two-week paid vacation. What a double-standard. You fired Roseanne Barr for her comments.
